PARADISE
Now there is a word to start a
chapter off with! What is paradise and if it is real how do I get there? Or am
I already there but do not know it?
Paradise a noun defined as:
1.
The garden of Eden
2.
A place or state of bliss a region or condition of
supreme felicity or delight
3.
Heaven
I will take any of those definitions how about you?
Read on reader read on!
Rabbi Sha’ul said in 2 Corinthians 12:1-7
I have to boast. Though there is
nothing to be gained by it, but I will go onto visions and revelations of the
L-rd.I know a man in union with the Messiah who fourteen years ago was snatched
up to the third heaven; whether he was in the body or outside the body I do not
know, G-d knows.
And I know that such a man
whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know,G-d knows.was snatched
into the Gan-Eden and heard things that cannot be put into words, things
unlawful for a human being to utter.
About such a man I will boast; but about my self I will not boast,
except in regard to weaknesses. If I did want to boast, I would not be foolish;
because I would be speaking the truth. But because of the extraordinary
greatness of revelations, I refrain, so that no one will think more of me than
what my words or deeds may warrant. Therefore to keep me from becoming overly
proud, I was given a thorn in the flesh, a messenger from the adversary to
pound away at me, so that I would not grow conceited.
What is Rabbi
Sha’ul talking about, has this ever happen anywhere else in the bible?
Ezekiel 1:1
8:1&3
And
it came to pass in the sixth year, in the fifth date of the month, as I sat in
mine house, and the elders of Yudah sat before me, that the hand of the lord
G-d fell there upon me.
And
he put there a form of a hand, and took me by the lock of mine head; and the
spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the
visions of G-d
I,
Yochanan, am a brother of yours and a fellow-sharer in the suffering, kingship
and perseverance that come from being united with Yeshua.
I
had been exiled to the island called Patmos for having proclaimed the message
of G-d and borne witness to Yeshua.I came to be in the Spirit on the Day of the
L-rd.
So
there is scripture to support entering into the reality of G-d, and since there
is then I can go to, since G-d is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34).
What happened to these three men?
Ezekiel vision’s still not understood by the general
public, Yochanan was on an island, Sha’ul got a messenger from the Adversary to
pound away at him.
Is there any out there that would still like to go?
And for those who are still ready to go let me give you the most famous of all
stories about four Rabbis who decided to go! Chagigah 14a
Four men entered the Garden namely Ben Azzai, Ben
Zoma, Acher, and Rabbi Akiva.
Rabbi Akiva said to them”When we arrive at the stone
of pure marble, do not say, water, water…
Ben Azzai looked and died .Of him, scripture says”Precious in the sight of the L-ord is the death of his saints (Psalm116:
14). Ben Zoma looked and became demented. Of him Scripture says,”Have you found honey? Eat as much is
sufficient for you lest you be filled
and vomit”(Proverbs 25:16). Acher uprooted the shoots, he became an
apostate. Rabbi Akiva departed unhurt but declared Bar Kochba the Messiah.
Ben Azzai failed because he only used his mind. The
rabbis tell us that his desire for G-d was so strong that he gave up his body
so that his spirit remained with G-d.Ben Zoma did not have a strong enough mind
to deal with what he found. As too much honey causes vomiting, he could not
deal with the revelation. Acher was so confused by the experience that he
turned away from Judaism and was named the other he was originally called; Ben
Abuyah.Only Rabbi Akiva was totally ready spirit, soul and body.
Are you sure you are ready for this experience with
G-d?
What do you have to lose if you are ready like Rabbi
Akiva?
Let’s enter Paradise together, no one should go
alone unless they are sure, are you sure?
Let’s go! Wait! Before we can go we must prepared
how to think like a Jewish person! If you are going to be with the Jewish Messiah
you have to think like him? Right! Of course right!
What I mean is, you have been looking at Yeshua
though your eyes, it is now time to look at him through his eyes. There are
some areas that we have to look at before you will be able to enter, I call
this Pre-Kabbalah.
Prophesying
Three fold truths
Four levels of interpretation
Seven Feasts of the L-rd
What do you mean Yochanan, I have been looking
through Gentile eyes or traditional Messianic teaching for over 2,000 years.
That is why nothing has changed since the time of Messiah.If you like what is
going on in your church or congregation then keep doing what you have been
doing and nothing will change!
What I mean is if the first century Kehillah turned
the world upside down (Acts17: 6), then we must turn it right side up. I never
heard anything like that. Well then why did you buy this book? Only to hear
what others have spoken or do you want to take a taste of the New Wine that the
Tanakh talks about. Everybody is talking about the New Wine but the majority of
the body of Messiah has now idea what it is .Let us see what the Brit Hadasha
has to say about it.
Acts2: 16-18
But
this is that which
was spoken by the prophet Joel: And it will come to pass in the last days saith
G-d, I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh: (that means the whole Body of
Messiah) and your sons and daughters will prophesy, and your young men shall
see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams (young men need visions to
fulfill in their lives while old men need dreams because they relate them to
the Body when they get old): And on my servants and handmaidens I will pour put
in those days of my Spirit;and they shall prophesy.
How many times did Yoel/Shim’on Kefa mention
tongues? You see tongues happened first and then prophecy came next. Azusa
Street happened in the 1900’s but this is the New Millennium .How many times is
prophesying mentioned? Twice, did you get a clue yet, if not let me write it
out plain for you. YOU NEED TO PROPHESY!
Rabbi Sha’ul said: 1 Corinthians14
However,
keep on eagerly seeking the things of the Spirit; and especially seek to be
able toprophesy .For someone speaking in a tongue is not speaking to people
but to G-d, because no one can understand, since he is uttering mysteries in
the power of the Spirit.But someone prophesying is speaking to people,
edifying, encouraging and comforting them (if prophets are
not doing the above but judging, condemning, accusing the brethren they are Old
testament type of prophets and they need to come into the Brit Chadashah).A person speaking in a tongue does edify
himself,but a person who prophesying edifies the Kehilat .I wish you would all
speak in tongues,but even more I wish you all would prophesy.The person who
prophesies is greater than the person who speaks in tounges,unless someone
gives an interpitation,so that the Kehilat can be edified….I thank G-d that I
speak in tongues more than all of you,but in a congregation meeting I would say
five words with my mind in order to instruct others than ten thousand words in
a tongue.
You need to prophesy, if you can help introduce your
Kehilat to this, fine there a lot of ministries out there that can help you
.The main point is before the end of the end prophesy will be brought back in a
stronger way than the times of the Shaliachim
