The Mystery of the
Indwelling Christ – Humility In Rejection
....PDF Version
As read by Kenneth B Visscher
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew
him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as
received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to
them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will
of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten
of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John
1:10-14
The humble do eat and are satisfied, Praise Jehovah
do those seeking Him, Your heart doth live for ever. Remember and return unto
Jehovah, Do all ends of the earth, And before Thee bow themselves, Do all
families of the nations, For to Jehovah is the kingdom, And He is ruling
among nations. And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves,
Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he who hath not revived
his soul. A seed doth serve Him, It is declared of the Lord to the generation.
They come and declare His righteousness, To a people that is borne, that He
hath made! Psalm 22:26-31- 1898 Young’s Literal Translation
But I am a worm and not a man; cursed by men, and looked down on by the
people. I am laughed at by all those who see me: pushing out their lips and
shaking their heads they say, He put his faith in the Lord; let the Lord be his
saviour now: let the Lord be his saviour, because he had delight in him. But it
was you who took care of me from the day of my birth: you gave me faith even
from my mother's breasts. I was in your hands even before my birth; you are my
God from the time when I was in my mother's body. Be not far from me, for
trouble is near; there is no one to give help. A great herd of oxen is round
me: I am shut in by the strong oxen of Bashan
.
I saw their mouths wide open, like lions crying after food. I am flowing away
like water, and all my bones are out of place: my heart is like wax, it has
become soft in my body. My throat is dry like a broken vessel; my tongue is fixed
to the roof of my mouth, and the dust of death is on my lips. Dogs have come
round me: I am shut in by the band of evil-doers; they made wounds in my hands
and feet. I am able to see all my bones; their looks are fixed on me: They make
a division of my robes among them, by the decision of chance they take my
clothing. Psalm 22:6-18 - 1965 Bible In Basic English
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings
of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the
LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands
asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens
shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto
them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king
upon my holy hill of Zion. Psalm 2:1-6
And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the
earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the
bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great
furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the
pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was
given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was commanded
them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing,
neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their
foreheads. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that
they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the
torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. And in those days shall men seek
death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee
from them. And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared
unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and
their faces were as the faces of men. And they had hair as the hair of
women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. And they had
breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was
as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. And they had tails
like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was
to hurt men five months. And they had a king over them, which is the
angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon,
but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. One woe is past; and,
behold, there come two woes more hereafter. Revelation 9:1-12 (*NOTE*
Definition of Abaddon and Apollyon: A destroyer)
And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall
prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in
sackcloth. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing
before the God of the earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out
of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he
must in this manner be killed. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain
not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to
blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. And when
they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the
bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill
them. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city,
which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt,
where also our Lord was crucified. Revelation 11:3-8
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and
saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon
his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast
which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a
bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power,
and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were
wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered
after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the
beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast?
who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking
great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and
two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his
name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto
him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him
over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth
shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb
slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear. Revelation
13:1-9
(2 Visions)
(1st Vision)
“A view of the Christ
during crucifixion. I saw Jesus
impaled and elevated upon his cross in the throes of dying. He was completely
abandoned and alone, no man stood with him or by him as he went through the
deepest part of the pain of this death. Only the Father was in him, but all men
had forsaken him. What I saw however was that prior to the cross, in the
revelation of his person to Israel,
that all Israel,
right at the very start, received him not. A portion of the pain of his cross
was the pain of total rejection. There were in Israel a small number, only a
very few who knew he was the Christ of God, but the nation as a whole rejected
Jesus from being known as the Messiah, the redeemer of Israel. He had come unto
them, but they did not receive him at all. Those few who did receive him were
present at his crucifixion, but they were scattered as time went by and as
death began to take Jesus away. In the
end only the Father was in him. The Father at no time ever forsook Jesus according to 2 Corinthians 5:19. “To wit, that God was in Christ,
reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them;”
The important detail of the vision was seeing the utter rejection of Christ by mankind. That is part of the suffering that is to
be endured by all those who would follow him.”
(End Vision)
(2nd Vision)
“Standing slightly to one side of the Throne room I beheld the Lord Jesus at the right
hand of the Father. As the Father sat upon the Throne I saw in his left hand
the sceptre. Jesus then reached over
to the sceptre in the hand of God and took it with His right hand. He then
stood once again, holding forth the sceptre straight out and into the time that
is ahead of mankind. I saw this and bear record that this is true. That Jesus holds now the sceptre of the Kingdom.
Everything we see now in the world of men in the destruction of man’s systems
and in the setting up of the Lord’s everlasting Kingdom will come to pass in
the perfect will of He who bears the nail scarred hands and feet but who grasps
the sceptre. Nothing will happen haphazardly or out of place or in disorder
even though the destructions of our time may seem to be out of order, the Saviour
holds the sceptre. He has determined to complete this time we are in with a
successful conclusion and to end it with the Kingdom of his Father swallowing
up all other kingdoms. I saw that this is present truth, a vision for this
present time, that this will be done even now in this time we are in and during
the coming judgments and destructions we will see in the world around us. Not
only so, but the sceptre also represented that Army which will march in this
time.”
One of the main distinguishing marks of an Overcomer in this day is
their absence from all that is out there in the world of men. When I say
absence, I do not mean their need to work at jobs or be a part of this society,
I mean that they cannot be part of anything that man does in this world that is
not a part
of the spirit of Christ in them. These hold
to a true path in spite of having to exist in this world and in the painful
process of getting through this life with any measure of hope. The entire world
of men has fallen now under the judgment of the Lord. He has held this world up
to the scrutiny of his gaze and has determined to finish this second world,
undoing all that man has done outside of the will of the Lord. Nothing you see
around you in this world will be allowed to enter the millennial age of Christ that is also dawning, and no one person will be
allowed to enter that age without first having reigned in - in their lives - their personal ungodly will. The power of this
world, the latent power of the soul and the power of personal iniquity will be
brought into subjection to Christ very rapidly, and
this subjection will end the present ways of the world’s systems. All around
you in the world you will see the tremendous shakings as the Lord begins to
collapse all of man’s systems. Nothing that you see which was opposite the Kingdom of God will endure this shaking. All of it
will now totally collapse, economically, politically and religiously. Everything
is slated to be put off and down and to be crushed under the foot of Christ. The millennium will begin with the Lord replacing
His Kingdom with this world’s kingdoms. No ruling power in the earth now will
be able to withstand the shakings and none of them will survive.
The nations were created as people were created, they were created as
individuals. Tens of thousands of nations in world history have passed out of
existence, just as individual people pass away from the earth. The nations in
totality all come under this same judgment at this time. All nations I say,
whether they be nations that existed from the time of Noah,
or nations that existed prior to the time of Noah,
all of this has now come under the judgment of He who sits upon the Throne. We
are in the time of that which was prophesied wherein the judgments of the Lord
will cause all things to collapse, not just in what you see now in the world of
men, but in all the past nations as well, right back to the time of Noah. These
individual nations were created by the Lord for His purpose. He is going to
redeem them all and all members of each nation, but He will not redeem nor
repair nor save the governing bodies that these nations had as their head
powers. The governments of man will not be redeemed. They will be destroyed. I
say this to you in prophecy, that not one single nation that has ever existed
up till the beginning of the millennium will be permitted to keep its
government. The Lord created the nations, but He did not create their
governments. Because of the hardness of our hearts and the wickedness of our
carnal minds the Lord permitted policing bodies to be raised to enact laws to
keep the populace in check, but now this will all come undone. We are at the
time of great havoc in the world and the Lord is the one who is creating this
havoc and is doing the destroying. He is the destructive wind of judgment which
is now falling upon the world of men. You will see this dear reader of this
page, with your very own eyes. Nothing of the building of man will survive
this, but the Lord will redeem each nation, minus their government, to bring
their glory and honour AS created by him into the Kingdom of God.
When Jesus died upon the cross, his spirit went forth out of his body
which hung upon the tree and he went forth and tore open the veil of the
temple, raised the dead which waited for this consolation to happen and then he
descended into the lowest hell and there preached to the spirits which died
during Noah’s flood as well as all who died prior to Noah’s flood. These that
died in that flood were of the FIRST world. When he was raised from the dead
and when he ascended, he took the spirits of all these dead with him into the Kingdom of God; these conglomerate spirits were the
“clouds” that received Jesus out of
the disciple’s eyesight. Jesus
redeemed the mass of humanity that perished in the end of the FIRST world and
he is going to redeem the mass of humanity that will now be found at the end of
the SECOND world, the world we now see collapsing around us. Just as the FIRST
world was not permitted to enter the second world except in the person of Noah,
so the SECOND world will not be permitted into the THIRD world, the world of
the Lord’s reign, the millennium. Nothing of this SECOND world you see being
shaken apart now will be permitted to enter the millennium; it must all be
removed first. You cannot bring anything from this world into the next. The
millennium will be the reign of Christ in the earth,
it will be perfect. It will be holy. There will be no temptation of demon or
devil and no man will be able to claim himself as a ruler in it other than they
that overcame and are granted that status. Mankind as a whole, all those you
see now, will enter bare naked into the millennium needing to be clothed upon
with the simple garments of his Kingdom and not of their own making. All man
has held as dear to this world and all the lives that lived and died in this
world will not be allowed into the next no more than the elements of the FIRST
world was allowed to enter the SECOND. The curse will be temporarily removed in
the millennium while Satan is bound, but at his
loosing at the end of the THIRD world the Lord will once again hold forth
judgment and will END THE CARNAL MIND.
The true Overcomer in our day has become of no reputation. By that I do
not mean that they are not working in the world of men earning wages and paying
bills. They have NO reputation when it comes to declaring who they are in Christ. They know only Jesus
and him crucified, dead, buried but then raised through the power and operation
of the spirit of the Father. If you are a true Overcomer, you will not be
recognized as having any value in the religious world of men including all
those who hold testament in Christendom, testifying of power in their lives but
denying that same power . You will not be held as anything important to the
religious world. Your life will not be considered, you will not be accepted, and
you will not fit in to their activities or ambitions. The true Overcomer will
not be accepted as anyone worthwhile at all in the world of men for anything at
all when it comes to being recognized as being one with the things of the Kingdom of God. Instead, the world of Christendom
will condemn and damn the Overcomer stating that their doctrine is tainted and
their faith is vain and that the Overcomer is horribly deceived. Nothing the
Overcomer shares will be accepted in the religious efforts of men in this hour because
all they speak and do as Overcomers is a foreign language to them. The
Overcomer abides in the Feast of Tabernacles in their spiritual walk, they do
not abide elsewhere, and the speech of the Overcomer is not recognized by their
fellow man just as the speech of the disciples on the day of Pentecost was not
recognized or understood by men in the early church. So far removed is the
Overcomer from all other things and from all people in this regard.
When Jesus was declared to be
the Son of God with power at his baptism by John,
he was rejected by that nation. They were unable to fathom that this lowly
carpenter could be the Messiah. Instead they looked for someone to come who
would establish a Kingdom in the earth which would remove Roman
power over them as oppressors and instead the Kingdom of God
would be the proof continually that the Jews were the chosen people of the
Lord. Part of Jesus passion was to be
one who endured this refusal of the nation and this rejection of his true
person. As he was rejected, so too were any of his words or teachings. As he
taught them in parables, so too did they not understand anything he said thus
fuelling their rejection of him. When Jesus
did move in divine miracle it was all to a feasting of Israel’s flesh,
not to the recognition of who he truly was, the Lord God Almighty, manifested
in flesh and bone in the world of men at that time. The miracles of Jesus only proved to them to be a realm of fascination.
For Jesus it became later a testament
against their ungodly works as during his trial he reminded Israel of his
power in signs and wonders and of his teaching them in the temple the things of
the mystery of heaven. So now the Overcomer is in the same trial. They are not
recognized as having any value at all by the world of Christendom. Just as
blindness happened to Israel,
so blindness has also happened to Christendom. We will soon cover the Mystery
of Israel’s blindness and see just how much we still need to be wary of this in
the present world of men. This blindness effects Israel to this day and Christendom
to this day. Both Israel
and Christianity will enter the millennium as students, ones who will learn
from the beginning the first principles of the doctrine of Christ.
Right at this very moment, even as you read this paper, Jesus is ruling in the affairs of men to bring them all to naught. He is ruling in such a way as to discomfit and destroy all that man has built all so that he can bring about the
Kingdom
of
God
. The
Kingdom
of
God
in the millennium
will not be as the Jews once expected their Messiah to do. For they expected
their Messiah to destroy the world around them, just as we are seeing this now,
and to exalt their nation as the one true nation under God. Instead in this time when
Jesus
is ruling in the affairs of men, He is ruling
to completely remove from man anything at all that resembled man’s order.
Nothing that man built outside of the Lord will remain when
Jesus
is done this ruling authority he has from the
Father. So in a sense, what the Jews expected of their Messiah in that day 2000
years ago is actually happening today, but on a world wide scale. That all
mankind in their nations will suffer loss, but all mankind in their nations
will have that loss replaced with the
Kingdom
of
God
.
The Lord purposed that
Israel
would be a pattern of the whole, the typology of what would take worldwide,
including the blindness they walk in. This pattern has come to the full, now is
the time of the holding forth of the sceptre of his Kingdom, everything of man
will collapse so that everything of the Lord’s Kingdom will replace it. We have
literally arrived at this time spoken of since the Lord first started to raise
up prophets. That which they prophesied is happening now. We are on the cusp of
the restitution of all creation, first the destruction of all man has done, but
then the restitution of all
Christ
has done. It will
be something you will view with your very own eyes.
May we see Jesus in his
passion, and may we continue to follow this very same path. May we see Jesus in his glory and in the center of the Kingdom of God and May we come into that very Kingdom!
Away with prophecies of the destruction of this SECOND world! Away with words
of knowledge about the pressures of this day! May we see JESUS
and see him ALONE! So what that all around us is under the sway of an
earthquake, of the threat of war or nuclear missiles! Away with all that would
prophecy unto us of the demise of man’s ways! Instead let us look UP and see
the King in his glory! Let us see the Kingdom of God!
Let us see Jesus who still stands the
same yesterday, today and forever at the right hand of the Father! May our eyes
behold him in his royal majesty, the one and only true King of Kings and Lord
of Lords! So what that the world around us is collapsing? So what that mankind
cannot find an answer to the problems perplexing them? Away with it all! Let me
see THY KINGDOM COME! Oh Lord, THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN!
There is not going to be any further fixes for this world. History has
come to the full, mankind is about to enter the millennium and nothing they
hold dear now will be allowed to enter with them other than their own souls
which Christ redeemed. The age that is coming will not resemble this one at all
in any way. No one king will be raised up and another put down. Only ONE King
will reign and His body with him. You cannot fix the money system nor can you
protect yourself from its collapse. You cannot fix the food shortages that are
coming nor heal the crops and stop the weather systems from destruction. You
cannot fix the disparaging between the nations, the rattling of war swords or
the threats of one nation over another. There is no safe ground anymore for
your feet to walk upon, the Lord has determined now to finish this world and
this age completely and to bring to this earth His Kingdom which will swallow
up all other things. Seek the Lord for that humility that is needed to bring
you through in the image of Jesus the
first fruit raised from the dead. Be ready dear reader to rise with him! Be
ready, gird up the loins of your mind and think with a mindset that is for that
which IS TO COME, not which has been up till now! The dominion and the Kingdom and the power
belong unto the Lord. Let HIS KINGDOM BE YOUR REWARD. He is coming dear reader,
He is going to glorify your flesh and raise you to be seated with Him in ruling
power of this world that is perishing. This honour has all those who have taken
on the fellowship of his sufferings being made conformable unto his death, that
the life also of Jesus might manifest
in your mortal flesh. What a glorious time we are in!
