I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord,
which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
(Revelations 1:8)
Moses's famous encounter with the invisible presence in the midst of
the burning bush upon the isolated mountain heights of Sinai remains
one of the highlights of the ancient sacred texts. Virtually every
school of thought taps into this peculiar historical event. His
interaction with the voice declaring itself to be "I Am"
is an awakening experience reserved for everyman in this present
world. "I Am" is all that the great trump of God
declares to mankind as it accomplishes the much anticipated awaking
ushering mankind unto the dawn of a new eternal day. Hearing the
great shout awakens all those sleeping in the graveyard of mortal
living back into the one true endless life declaring itself to be "I
Am".
Due to this symbolic encounter, after transiting this realm, to this
very day the body of Moses was never found. Many years later
alongside Elijah he would appear with Jesus in the glory cloud, a
scene that speaks volumes. Many will argue that it is written that
God buried Moses!!! I would rather you listen to what the Spirit
says rather than letters, because the Spirit speaks life. We are
admonished again and again to lend an attentive ear to what the
Spirit is saying to the church, not just mere letters or any human
reasoning.
To correct the erring human mind, the Father, God is not an
undertaker, rather His preoccupation is to quicken the dead and
crowning them with life. He is the God of the living not of the
dead. Remember the words of Jesus, "let the dead bury the dead". So
you err when you imagine God to be an undertaker who occupies
himself with burying the dead.
Jude in a rather curious manner briefly wrote about the Archangel
Michael and the Devil, contending over the body of Moses. No man can
in any way understand this vision except it is given from above.
This was the mighty angel that stood in the midst of the burning
bush. The Archangel Michael is simply an allegory for the
messenger(s) of God who simply manifests itself in this realm on
behalf of God. It could be Paul, it could be John, and it could be
you; anyone who lives on account of God can appear as the messenger
Michael. It is a cooperate body of perfected spirits in heavenly
places who speak with the voice of the Almighty, the "I Am".
You can also call him the arm of God upon the earth. He blows the
last trumpet and gives the loud shout declaring the mystery of "I
Am". He appears to quicken the saints who sleep in the dust
(mortality) by simply transmitting the heartbeat of the Father unto
them. This is seen in the vision of Daniel, when Michael referred to
as the great prince, stands up on behalf of the people of God to
deliver them from the power of the grave. The hour comes and now is
when those who sleep in their graves hear this communication from
God and awaken back into the life of "I Am". All these
events are currently occurring in the midst of the earth but they
are hidden from the outside world.
The Archangel (body of God’s messengers) stands and fights on behalf
of the saints by revealing things hidden from the foundation of the
world. In a nutshell it unveils the mystery of God to humanity and
in this knowledge men are saved. This is the voice of the seventh
angel mentioned in the book of revelation (Revelation 10:7).
Like Moses, as you come in contact with revelation "I Am"
there is a battle in your heavens to loosen you from every satanic
belief that ties you to mortality and death. Death in this sense is
the sensation of a life separate from the living God. Satan and his
angels must be cast out of your heavens, meaning every spiritual
stronghold that wars against the sacred knowledge of Christ is you
abolished forever.
Moses's interaction with the “I Am” has been used as
an example showing the path to eternal life. As it is written not
all shall die, these are the sons of God who have rediscovered
themselves in the "I Am". The Spirit affirms this when
it declares, "You will not allow your holy one to see corruption".
Moses qualified for this honor having ascended on high and stood on
holy ground. This ascent is into the Spirit, "I Am",
and standing on Holy ground will mean a total consecration to the
presence that dwelt in the bush. During this most holy encounter,
Moses was grafted in as a branch of that burning bush so that his
appearance before Pharoah in Egypt was as God appearing to judge the
prince of this world. All these are recorded for you who seek the
glory of the Father.
Like Moses who stood before the burning bush, the will of God is
that all men do the same and awaken to the reality of the mystery of
this presence in the midst of it. While contemplating the depths,
the heights and width of this great mystery, you will be converted
into the same. All that the seeker of truth will ever need to do is
to be still and in stillness behold this great spectacle. Stand
still, see and hear, and lending from the words of Jesus, "you will
see Satan falling like lightening". Meaning no more influence of
death over you.
Blessed are your eyes and ears because they hear and see the mystery
of "I Am" This is the true life eternal that man must
rediscover to live again. This principal applies toall, it does not
matter whether in the earthly material body or not, this is a must
to be experienced at the appointed time of life, albeit in the real
sense, not just in mere shadows. After this experience you like
Moses will never be the same again, you would go on to live the rest
of your life on account of that presence.
For years, a close friend of mine who is very gifted with visions
would see the burning bush and the menorah (the seven golden
candlesticks) all lighted up at intervals. The Lord began to reveal
to me that they are indeed the same thing, and how that Moses's
experience before the burning bush was a similar experience with
that of John before the Alpha and Omega in the firstchapter of the
book of revelation. Looking through the lenses of the Spirit, we can
liken this burning bush
to the seven lighted golden candlesticks in the midst of which walks
the "I Am" who is the Alpha and the Omega, meaning the
beginning and the end of all things.
[Revelations 1:12-13, Revelations 2:1].
To understand the seven golden candlesticks it is good to go back to
the Old Testament bearing in mind that every bit of it is symbolic
language revealing the mystery of this invisible presence declaring
itself to be "I AM". It is no wonder that Moses would
receive a blueprint of the earthly tabernacle with precise
instruction to build it exactly the way it was revealed to him. What
Moses received was simply an insight into the mystery of invisible I
AM translated into material form.
From the details of its design, the seven golden candlesticks
depicts a golden flourishing almond tree with seven branches and
seven flames. This is simply a shadow of its true eternal celestial
counterpart in the heavens. It was beaten out of one piece of gold
lump to demonstrate a divine unbreakable connection between the stem
and the seven golden candlesticks.
Exodus 25:31 And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of
beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his
branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the
same. 32 And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three
branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches
of the candlestick out of the other side:……….
The Spirit will again reveal that the seven branches are the seven
churches. The Stem being the "I Am" who walks in the
midst thereof.
Revelations 1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me.
And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13 And in the
midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of
man,……………………….20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest
in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars
are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks
which thou sawest are the seven churches.
The Spirit went to such detailed length as it instructed Moses to
build the tabernacle, all to demonstrate man's interconnectivity
with "I Am". The burning bush and the seven golden
candlestick speak of the immaterial, imperishable spiritual body or
system of the "I AM". It is unchangeable hence
inconsumable by fire. When a man appears before that burning bush,
like stubble, every carnal reasoning that obscures the mystery of
this divine tree is burned up forever. This is synonymous with
appearing before the judgment seat of Christ. The whole idea of
this most holy encounter is to get man to see the mystery of this
celestial tree and consequently get consciously reconnected with it.
The I Am is the eternal tree in the heavens; it is the
tree of life, and you are the branches divinely connected to it.
This reality is something that has always been but man in his
earthly experience loses track of this reality because of a mindset
obscured by the influence of this material age. Let us refresh
ourselves with the famous words of Jesus:
John 15:5-6 I Am the vine, ye are the branches: He that
abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for
without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast
forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast
them into the fire, and they are burned.
The "I Am" is the divine tree in the heavens and we
are all branches or offshoots of it. Only in this pure knowledge can
anyone bear fruits and experience the delightful realm of Eden.
Everyman must know that he has no individual life of his own, he is
rather an expression of the living one, the "I Am".
Your stability, peace, joy, power and wellbeing all depends your
ability to recognize and maintain yourself in this celestial system.
Anyone who becomes absent from this reality spontaneously becomes
subject to man's mortal and perishable world of appearances and like
Jesus says, he is gathered up by men and cast into the fire. This in
the branch that is severed from the tree of life and thus withers
off or the candlestick that is taken out of its place and hence it's
light snuffed out.
That withered lifeless branch must once more come in contact with
the eternal flames of truth and be dissolved forever so that what
remains is the true spiritual branch connected to the divine vine.
Every trace of the carnal human mentality must be dissolved as man
comes face to face with that burning bush. The trimming and purging
must go on and on as man maintains himself in this system of God.
In His capacity of a messenger of God, Jesus's appearance in this
realm was for the sole purpose of revealing the secret of "I
Am" to mankind. This secret is man's connectivity with God.
Never did he come to advocate or form a new religion or a bunch of
new rules, or even make an idol of his own flesh body, rather He
came to reveal the true life of all men. He never came to set up a
church system on the earth, but rather to reveal to you that you are
the church, the body and system of the "I Am". All
that the laws and prophets ever said were simply veiled references
to the "I Am".
"I Am" is the Spirit that fills all things; It is the
Lord without beginning without end, the living one. "I Am"
also represents the highest realm and consciousness which expresses
itself in all things that do appear because besides it there is none
else; it is the all. This is the eternal life that has manifested
itself for all men to see and understand, and in it rests the
consolation of all mankind. In it is found the fountain of
pleasures...the joy of the whole earth.
It is written, "the earth and the inhabitants therein are the
Lord's; things seen and unseen are all His". Who can understand
these utterances, and who can truly know the answer to this riddle?
This knowledge is hidden from the man of the earth even though he
may think otherwise. Human reasoning is totally bankrupt of this
exalted knowledge. The one who can understand this, is the one who
has ascended consciously and stands on holy ground. This is the
reason why the Spirit inspired writer further asks, "who shall
ascend?, or who shall stand in this holy place?". He speaks of
an ascent in consciousness, from the natural human thought pattern
unto that of the mind of Christ rich in the knowledge of God.
The spiritual mindset of the one who has ascended, is the only one
capable of knowing that the Lord fills all in all. It has not lifted
its soul to vanity nor swore deceitfully; it cleaves to the Lord and
the Lord alone. Its fiery eyes sees beyond the parables and is thus
wholly aware that it is the Lord manifesting itself in all things,
even in the inhabitants of the earth; He is the one above all,
through all and in you all. This is the fulfillment of the great
sign upon God's Elevated Mountain when the earth has become full
with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. In this
elevated spirit consciousness it becomes apparent that the Spirit is
all in all; this knowledge is power, peace and rest forever.
The one who ascends awakens to the cry from the everlasting mountain
declaring, "hear oh Israel, the Lord your God is One" and
consequently unites with that One thus spontaneously fulfilling the
law. This One is "I Am". When Jesus would say things
like, "All that the Father has, is mine" and "All power in
heaven and earth is given unto me", you can comprehend the fact
that he had ascended into the identity of the One declaring itself
as "I Am".
The words, "I ascend to my Father and your Father, my God and
your God" is further proof to the fact that all men are branches
of that celestial tree, "I Am". All have their origin
in the Father, and all came out of God but to know this there must
of a necessity be an ascent in consciousness.
The one who ascends stands on holy ground; this will mean walking in
the name of the name of the Lord, the Spirit, because flesh and
blood cannot in any way arrive here. Holy ground is the realm of the
Lord from heaven. This is the way which the beasts (human reasoning)
have not known, a path reserved for the Lord, when He returns back
to Zion from his human experience.
Isaiah 35:8 And an 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. 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: 10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and
come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they
shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee
away.
In your awakening you will know that you are His likeness and
offshoot of the "I Am" and your true habitation is
upon the everlasting heights of Zion. Having seen, heard and
remembered the heights from where he has fallen, man repents by
putting an end to carnal living and returns to Zion. This is the
symbolic message passed to us when Moses met with the Lord - "I
Am" in the burning bush. During this holy encounter, Moses'
would pick up a serpent with bear hands in accordance with the sign
of the believer given by Jesus. The serpent being a symbol of the
terrestrial nature otherwise known as flesh and blood. Picking up
the serpent reveals the one who has overcome the old human nature.
The power of the resurrection walking in man lifts him up from the
beasty nature of the fallen Adam back into the celestial nature and
identity of the Lord from heaven.
John's vision of the one hundred and forty-four thousand standing
upon Zion is a snapshot of those who have been redeemed from among
men and do stand on holy ground (Revelations 14:1-5). These are no
longer men living in mistaken identities of flesh and blood but
rather offshoots of the one who was, who is, and who is to come.
Having remembered there beginning in God, they have left aside human
living to walk in the name of the Father. In their mouth was found
no guile and they are virgins because they have recognized the "I
Am" and do confess and live in solely unto that name. In
your awakening, you will know that you are the one who was, who is
and who is to come, the “I Am”.
Blessings to you.
