Chapter #29 |

As read by Kenneth B Visscher |
The Beryl Stone - Our God Is A Consuming Fire
The False Judgement {represented by the covering Stone on Lucifer, the fallen Adamic nature in mankind} - by DAN.... SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS - Judgment without UNDERSTANDING....To be ever learning, but never coming into the KNOWLEDGE of that TRUTH. To have the ability to apply TRUTH to the lives of others without the inward work being done in SELF. Dan was given land, but he never conquered it. He was not able to inherit it in the end {restoration order}................
DAN was RIGHTEOUS in his own eyes. He never applied judgement to himself. He did not conquer his own land {personal iniquity}. He sought his own place.... His life was not in God but in his own religious effort.
BERYL....Of EASTERN ORIGIN.... The stone of self-life....{In right standing with one's self}. The Stone representing the Judgement of God in fallen creation to bring creation to full liberty and life in God. The basis and means by which God does this judgement will bear the fruit of a delivered creation from death and destruction because of Adam’s Fall.
JEHOVAH TSIDKENU....The Lord our RIGHTEOUSNESS....Leviticus 35 - 36,
Jeremiah 25:5-6, Job 31:6,
Where this name is used; You shall do no unrighteousness in judgement, in weights or in measure. JUST weights and balances shall ye have. FOR I AM JEHOVAH - TSIDKENU, your GOD.
Let me be weighed in an even balance that (JEHOVAH - TSIDKENU) God may know mine integrity....

“For indeed our God [is] a consuming fire [or, [is] as to His essence consuming fire]”. Hebrews 12:29 Analytical Literal Translation [Exod 24:17; Deut 4:24]
“With my soul have I desired Thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me have I sought Thee earnestly; for when Thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.” Isaiah 26:9 [Jewish Publication Society Translation}
4} And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
5} Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.
6} And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
7} And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.
8} And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
9} Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
10} As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
11} Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
12} And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.
13} As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
14} And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
15} Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.
16} The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
17} When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went. Ezekiel 1:4-17 {Underline and embolding, mine}
1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
Revelation 5:1-7
*************************
There is one very significant sign or “signature” that reveals to the world those who are truly the Sons of God from those who are not. For it is not true that everyone is a child of God at this point in time. You cannot be a child of God until you are born of God. Then you have the opportunity to grow up in God’s House and to take on your inheritance as you mature and as you prosper in the knowledge of God. There are those in this hour who are saying that the Lord is in every person at this time. To believe that, you must then also believe that every person is “born again” in present reality. That there is no “future” experience of a re-birth. And if you believe that every man is now in God you will have no need to believe in “restitution” or “the restitution of all creation” from the fallen state. Then verses such as this one have little effect:
“And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
21} And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
22} In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
23} If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;” Colossians 1:20-23. The fact remains that there are still minds - alienated and enemies of God by wicked works in the World.
When Colossians 1:27 verse is taken out of context, along with others, the JUDGEMENT OF JEHOVAH TSIDKENU becomes cheapened and lessened as to it’s power to deliver and it’s power to change one into a life that would live as a New Creation. The Overcomer who does not endure the sound doctrine of the Judgement of JEHOVAH TSIDKENU cannot complete the race to win the prize that they are in! We MUST be Judged FIRST.
As I said at the beginning of this discourse, there is one sign or “signature” that separates the Overcomers from those who are not overcoming. And that sign is the sign of the crucifixion. When you look upon your fellow, do they bear the marks of the cross? Or have they fallen into the mind set that everything is now already in God and there is no more work to be done to bring all souls into the Father?
Now that is not to say that the general mass of Christianity is not to some degree or another bearing the cross. But for the Overcomer it is quite a different matter entirely. For the Overcomer, the cross WILL FINALIZE THE DEATH PROCESS. The cross can be applied to a person, but their old nature lives on, until death finally frees them of it. Even the death of the cross. And this is where the confusion of this hour has reached it’s climax. For some do not discern dying from death itself.
In a vision I had, the Overcomers were seen marching in perfect order reflecting in their faces the Beryl colored Fires of Fire upon the Throne which enfolded itself. They reflected the person of Jehovah Tsidkenu in their very faces. But at the same time their faces and their bodies were shown to me. They were in Glorified bodies as was Jesus when He arose from the tomb. But just as Jesus in His Glorification STILL BORE THE MARKS OF THE CROSS so did these who marched forward into the flames of Jehovah Tsidkenu. These all bore scars. These woundings were such that they showed forth their identity with The Lord Jesus Christ in His passion. And just as there are degrees in Glory, so there were various woundings and scars that showed forth degrees and realms of suffering that the individual Overcomer had endured. Not a “competition” but an alliance of such perfect desire that any scarring they endured during the overcoming process hindered them not from their true desire to be one with the Lord whom they loved with great desire. They marched forward until they had entered completely into the fiery Throne.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 1 Corinthians 15:39-45
*******************
Now hear the words of Wisdom. The Judgement of Jehovah TSIDKENU when appropriated by the Overcomer has a SURE RESULT. The Judgement of God upon those who desire all that God has for them will give them IDENTITY WITH THE SUFFERINGS OF JESUS. In fact, this identity will be such that the very marks of crucifixion that Jesus bore THEY TOO WILL BEAR. Perhaps not a literal mark, but a mark nonetheless, particular to the circumstance and calling upon their lives. In other words, the Judgement of God brings forth two things.
1} The unique “fellowship of sufferings” that only those who are alone with Jesus can fathom and that will cause them to be separated {by the height of the cross} from those who are all around them in the world.
2} The actual personality of The Lord Jesus Christ becomes their very nature. They become like the Lord Himself in both His passion and also in His exaltation to the Right Hand of God. This personality is displayed in two ways, by fire, and by unfathomable eternal and perfect LOVE.
***BUT KNOW THIS. THE JUDGEMENT OF JEHOVAH TSIDKENU WILL BRING
S-C-A-R-R-I-N-G U-N-T-O Y-O-U-R V-E-R-Y L-I-F-E.***
DEAR OVERCOMER. PRAY FOR TRIBULATION. PRAY FOR THE HUMBLING PROCESS. ASK THE LORD TO JUDGE YOU IN EVERY PART OF YOUR PERSON TO SEE IF THERE BE ANY EVIL WAY WITHIN YOU AND THAT GOD WOULD LEAD YOU IN THE WAY EVERLASTING. Without His Judgement, you cannot complete the race that is before you. Not a race of time or distance, but a race of endurance.
********************
There are 4 areas of Humiliation and Judgement for the Overcomer to endure.
1} The Carnal Fleshly Mind
2} The Seat of the Emotions
3} The Conscience
4} The Human Will
********************
THE END RESULT OF THE JUDGEMENT OF JEHOVAH TSIDKENU UPON THE LIVES OF THE OVERCOMERS.
1} The Carnal Fleshly Mind - The carnal mind will be categorized for what it is and will be held in check by the “Corporate Mind of Christ”. We learn by the Mind of Christ to “test” everything to see if it is of God and according to the Word of God and this testing MUST BE DONE BY THE BODY OF BELIEVERS.
2} The Seat of the Emotions - Emotions are the window of the Soul. These are untamed in Lucifer and are subject to any fleshly passion. As such the emotional nature of man leads them to severe imbalances in their walk. The Overcomers emotions - because of the Judgement of JEHOVAH TSIDKENU - will be brought into submission for a “sole” desire to please the Lord in all their responses and not by any religious effort. It is by the subjection of the emotions that we begin to see the Fruit of the Spirit blossom in our souls as it is now given the soil needed to boost the Tree of Life into full production. The soil is the laying down of the Seat of Emotions as relates to FLESH and not SPIRIT.
3} The Conscience - It is impossible to know the mind and the Will of God when living in basic human consciousness. Those who lack this discernment end up following untamed conscious decisions which come across as “fruit”. This is however FALSE FRUIT. Fruit based on unregenerated consciousness which grows in the roots of base human emotion. The Overcomer conquers this false fruit and unsound conscious decisions by taking up their individual crosses daily and following Jesus. They then learn to discern by the Word of God and not by what their first knee jerk reaction would be to a circumstance or carnal suggestion to their minds. It must also be noted that consciousness apart from the Spirit of the Lord will lead one to “new age mystic practices”. True God consciousness will give one the “Mind of Christ” to know the true presence of God in the Overcomers heart and in their daily decisions in the natural world.
4} The Human Will - The will is the Spirit in man. Prior to men being “born from above” the will is prone to religious exercise based on an ignorant knowledge of God. This is why I do not believe that EVERYONE is a Child of God at this time. The will of man when unregenerate cannot shew forth the life of God in them except as an “imitation” of the true - which is Lucifer sitting in the temple of God as God saying I am God. In this state, Lucifer says: “ I am the living expression of the Life of God”. But those who have discernment by knowing God’s true will {through denial of self} will know that the one who says such is not enduring the Judgement of JEHOVAH TSIDKENU and therefore no progressive growth in God becomes evident. The will of God is evident as true when an Overcomer is enduring the Judgements of God without murmuring or complaining. Lucifer has a soft path, beautiful garments of woven tapestry and the applause of men. No sweat or toil or bearing of reproach. Lucifer with the false Beryl Stone has no ability to bear suffering alone as a sacrifice to God. Lucifer does not see that the Lord alone is to be exalted but he exalts himself along with what he perceives to be the Will of God.
Jesus took the sealed book out of the Hand of the Ancient of Days. The result was the restoration of all creation. However one must note that the act of Jesus taking the sealed book, and the restoration of all creation DID NOT HAPPEN UNTIL THE ARMY OF OVERCOMERS HAD MARCHED INTO THE FIRE ENFOLDING ITSELF AND THEY WERE CONSUMED BY THE THRONE AND FIRE OF GOD.
In other words dear reader, the Overcomers are part of the enfolding fire. They become fiery brands or flames of fire that burn off of creation the curse of the fall. Once they were seated on the Throne with the Ancient of Days, THEN Jesus took the book and the Ancient of Days brought about the total restoration of all creation and mankind within it. The Fire enfolding itself then extended itself in LOVE to the rest of fallen mankind.
It is my firm belief that the Lord is working a separation once again in the company of Sons. There are some who are in the Overcoming message that will fall back into a “works mentality” and won’t complete their race to win the prize of the High Calling of God in Christ. They are falling for this “false” judgement shown by Lucifer who bears the covering of the Beryl Stone but is held in falseness. Doctrines are being “revealed” and “promoted” as if they were ancient truth, however they do not weigh correctly in Scripture. The promotion and falsehood of these doctrines is such that they are very hard to discern. But by believing in them some of the Overcomers of our day have fallen into a ditch. This Army I saw abandoned EVERYTHING. For they learned that CHRIST IS THE TRUE DOCTRINE. In other words, Christ must be revealed for who He is and as He is and the simple revelation of the Christ is the only doctrine that delivered them in perfection to the Throne of God.
Brethren. We are in a crucial time. Ever so careful must we be to be sure that we promote not any notion or action of Spirit that is not soundly expressed in the Written Word.
The will of God is simple. We need to allow God to “judge” in our lives all that is needed to be removed from us so that His life remains. The Beryl Stone upon The Royal Ephod depicts the Judgement of God in every aspect of our lives so that our lives can be free to walk in God without restraint. The danger we have is falling into either a “works” mentality or a “finished work” mentality. Both can corrupt our walk and way in God. Works in the sense that we try to make ourselves walk in the Judgement of God and finished works in that we go too far and see it all done with nothing else left to be “walked out”.
This Judgement MUST begin with the Overcomer, which is now their present experience. For this judgement to end, the Overcomer must complete this race that is set before. This wonderful Judgement of God spells the end of our flesh. It ends our life in this fallen creation. It brings to nothing our participation in worldly events or in personal ambition. Only when the Judgement of God is done in us will we see the rest of creation swallowed up into the Fire that enfolds itself.
