In our previous studies 'Mystery Babylon the Mother of all Harlots', 'One hour with Messiah and one hour with the beast' we saw and exposition on who is the Mother of all Harlots and how Alahim allowed Mystery Babylon to be a spiritual kingdom hidden in the hearts of all men and Satan seated in the heart of man as the 'man of sin' in his pride and rebellion towards Alahim. Alahim calls his children out of Mystery Babylon and in this short study we will see how Alahim shows us how he kept the 'spirit of prophecy' alive even through dark ages that his children went through as they fled Mystery Babylon.
Before studying this we must understand that the children of Alahim are carriers of the 'spirit of prophecy' which is the testimony of Yahusha (Rev 19:10). We saw from 2 Peter 3:5 (In the studies By him all things consist Part 1 & 2) that Messiah plunged into the deep waters of Alahim's wrath to fish out his elect to catch them up to the new heavens and the new earth which stands out of Alahim's waters of wrath. The 'spirit of prophecy' proceeded out of the mouth of Alahim when he said " Let there be light and there was light" Gen 1:3 and the Spirit who was moving over the face of the deep (Gen 1:2) is a picture of Alahim just about to utter his plan to gather a people unto him through the light of the knowledge of his glory through the face of Messiah (2 Corn 4:6). The divine utterance prepared the way testifying beforehand the sufferings of Messiah and the glory to follow
1Pe 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Messiah which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Messiah, and the glory that should follow.
With the ascension of Messiah to be on high far above all heavens (Eph 4:10) and leading captivity captive the gift of eternal life is the hope of the creatures deliverance from vanity ( Rom 8:20). From being in the waters of Alahim's judgment being seduced by Jezebel the 'spirit of prophecy' makes us flee from her wrath of pursuing us to take us back into her captivity. This end of the journey became a beginning of a new journey and this could be seen from Elijah who stands for the prophets fleeing Jezebel after he kills all the prophets of Baal.
By proclaiming the judgments pronounced against worshipers of Baal Jezebel pursues Elijah to kill him after she has killed all the prophets of the Yahuah.We read from the account of Elijah after the mount Carmel instance fleeing Jezebel and hoping that he would die because what he thought was victory was actually a defeat to the people of Alahim because Jezebel was ruling and killed all the prophets of the Yahuah and Elijah was the only one left.
1Ki 19:10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the YAHUAH Alahim of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
This was the condition of Israel. They had forsaken the covenant of the Yahuah, thrown down the altars and slain all the prophets with the sword. What Elijah was not aware was Alahim's perspective. He was seeing things from his perspective. The Yahuah Alahim will do nothing but he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets (Amos 3:7).The prophets of the Yahuah may have been killed but the 'spirit of prophecy' no one could/can kill. This is what Elijah did not know and Alahim shows us how he keeps the 'spirit of prophecy' alive.
1Ki 19: 4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O YAHUAH, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
5 And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.
6 And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.
7 And the angel of the YAHUAH came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.
8 And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of Alahim.
9 ¶ And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the YAHUAH came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
In the midst of discouragement, failure & being oppressed by the enemy who pursues us Alahim feeds his children in the great famine to bring us through the long journey to Mount Horeb the mount of Alahim.
Elijah being fed twice (number 2 speaks of testimony in scripture) he went to Mount Horeb the mount of Alahim in the strength of that food with a journey of forty days and forty nights. The number 40 in scripture speaks of 'affliction of Alahim's people'.
With the strength of the meat he reaches mount Horeb where Alahim reveals to him the 'spirit of prophecy'
Elijah was asked to stand upon the mount and Yahuah passed by and a great wind rent the mountains but the Yahuah was not in the wind, after that an earthquake but Alahim was not in it, after that a fire but Alahim was not in it and after that a still small voice and Alahim WAS IN IT and this still small voice speaks of spirit of prophecy. We have Rev 19:10 saying the testimony of Yahusha is the spirit of prophecy. What man is doing is giving Alahim an image which is not his image. Man in his ignorance is giving Alahim a false image by saying Alahim was in the wind, Alahim was in the fire, Alahim was in the earthquake but Alahim was NOT IN ANY OF THEM . Alahim was in the spirit of prophecy guarding his pattern, the one who was under the wrath of Alahim was Messiah and Alahim was over the waters (Gen 1:2). Messiah came out of Alahim to plunge himself into the deep waters to save us. He is the true image of the invisible Alahim. The elect understand the spirit of prophecy while the non elect see his judgments as meted out to others while they are safe and yet do not flee to the true Messiah but are worshiping the false christ doing abominable things. They are part of Mystery Babylon who says I am not widow and sit as a queen.
Elijah stood for the prophets in whom is the spirit of prophecy which cannot be killed. This is the picture Alahim gives us through this account. From our perspective we may be killed but from Alahim's perspective the 'spirit of prophecy' can never be killed.
Isa 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
This picture of keeping the 'spirit of prophecy' alive can be seen after the death of Elijah the prophet of Alahim & hundreds of years later came the voice in the wilderness to prepare the way of the Yahuah which was John the Baptist who came in the spirit of Elijah
Mt 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until 14. And if ye will receive it, this is Elijah, which was for to come. 15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear. Only elect will understand the spirit of prophecy as Messiah reveals it to them. The 'spirit of prophecy' will return back to Alahim in fulfilling his will and prospering in the things where he sent it to.
Here was Elijah with his perspective and Alahim reveals to him the spirit of prophecy. Let me take you to Mount Moriah where Abraham was asked to sacrifice Isaac his only son and when he obeys Alahim he is asked not to touch the lad. He finds a ram caught by its horns in the thickets
Ge 22:13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.14 And Abraham called the name of that place Yahuah yireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of YAHUA it shall be seen.
Here was Elijah on the mount of the Yahuah (Mount Horeb) where Alahim reveals to him the 'spirit of prophecy' and this spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Yahusha (Rev 19:10) who will be revealed to Alahim's people. The Image of the invisible Alahim will be seen (discerned) on the mount
What seemed to be end of the journey of the prophet was a beginning of a new journey with his mantle being passed to Elisha. Alahim had his remnant in all generations
1Ki 19:15 And the YAHUAH said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:
16 And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.
17 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.
18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him..
Distorted Eschatology views only the end time believers fleeing Mystery Babylon but sound Eschatology is to see the entire body of Messiah in view because all of Messiah's children saw the spirit of Jezebel and fled her to the mount of the Yahuah though they did not understand who Messiah was but looked for the promise of Alahim but didn't receive it in their lifetime. They were justified by their faith in the promise of Alahim.
Heb 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
While this journey will definitely come to an end shortly with the unfolding of 8th beast of the seven ruling with the 'spirit of prophecy' returning to Alahim in accomplishing it's task for which it was sent for we must not leave out the saints in previous ages who were pursued by Jezebel because she existed spiritually in all ages, it was just that she was not unleashed until the time of the end.
While the mantle may not pass on to the next generation (we don't know how long will the Great Tribulation last) we will be caught up to the new heavens and the new earth and Elijah being caught up into the heavens (though he did not go literally to heaven as no man has ascended into heaven yet, for details you can view the study on my blog Elijah, Enoch & Moses) but his parting in chariots of fire is definitely a spiritual picture of a promise that we will be taken into the new heavens and new earth
2Ki 2:11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
While Elijah died and awaits resurrection with all the just on the last day that day is soon approaching. Finally we see two prophets of the Yahuah Moses and Elijah at Mount Horeb the mount of the Yahuah while Moses stands for the law and Elijah the prophets revealing through the spirit of prophecy who Messiah is and from where he came. In the mount of the Yahuah it will be seen. He who has ears let him hear.
Mal 4:4 ¶ Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the YAHUAH:
At Messiah's transfiguration there appeared a vision of Moses and Elijah talking with him which is a confirmation that the testimony of Yahusha is the spirit of prophecy. The raiment of Messiah turned white and glistering as the law and the prophets testified of the sinless, pure and holy high priest who alone is worthy of all honor, power and praise.
