So good to be back again. OK, hallelujah. We are in Chapter 7 of the Book of Daniel, and at the last meeting, we went over some Bible numerology, specifically related to 1,000 of thousands and 10,000 times 10,000. And we also have that teaching on one of the -- in one of the messages on the 39 series. The Lord gave it to me in a little more depth. What I've told you in the past is correct. What the Lord gave me was some more understanding as to how we arrived at that conclusion.
And I'll just remind you that what the Lord had told us is that 1,000 thousands -- if I could just find my place here, excuse me. Glory to God. 1,000 thousands is -- typifies a living soul in whose members the law affecting their spirits and their soul has been fulfilled. We're talking about a spiritual man. And 10,000 times 10,000 typifies a living soul ruled by Christ, a spiritual man in whose members the law affecting their body has been fulfilled. So 1,000 of thousands typifies a spiritual man, and 10,000 times 10,000 typifies the glorified man.
And I'm just going to take a few minutes to go over that, and we'll move on. 10 is the number that typifies the law fulfilled in the realm of appearance. And I remind you that the law in the realm of appearance is fulfilled only through judgment. And I'm suggesting to you that the law in the realm of appearance is -- what is in the realm of appearance? It's this body. And what is this body but the satanic body? And I'm suggesting to you that the law of God, to be fulfilled in the satanic body, means that this body must submit to the mind of the Lord Jesus Christ.
So the number 10 -- if you're listening to this message, you should have an exhibit with all of this expelled out. The number 10 typifies the law fulfilled in the realm of appearance, that's the satanic body, submitting to Christ through or as a result of judgment.
Now, we're multiplying by 10, the number for the law, 10, times 10 is 100, and the number 100 is equal to the law fulfilled in the realm of the soul. We're talking about the Adamic soul here. And once again, the law is fulfilled in the Adamic soul only through judgment. So to have the law fulfilled in the Adamic soul, that means that Adam must be brought into submission to Christ.
Now, we're moving up along the spiritual line. We're still multiplying by 10. And that's -- 100 times 10 is 1,000, and the number 1,000 equals or typifies the law fulfilled in the realm of the spirit. We're talking about the human spirit. How is the law fulfilled in the realm of the human spirit? Her sin is a result of her being married to Satan. So to have the law fulfilled in the realm of the spirit, of the human spirit, Eve must be separated from her husband, Satan, and from her offspring, the carnal mind, and made a virgin again. That is the fulfillment of the law in the realm of the human spirit, typified by the number 1,000.
Still increasing spiritually, we multiply by 10 again, and we get the number 10,000, which typifies the law fulfilled in the soul of Christ. Now, we already had the law fulfilled in the Adamic soul, and that is a result of judgment. We now have the law fulfilled in the soul of Christ. This is not fulfilled as a result of judgment. This is fulfilled by the overcoming power of the Lord Jesus Christ standing up, the fulfillment of the law in the realm of Christ. Now, we know that many believers have conceived Christ, but the law has not been fulfilled in the soul of Christ until He stands up in full stature, and that is typified by the number 10,000.
Glory to God. Now, the Scripture talks about thousands of thousands. So going back to remind you, the number 1,000 typifies the law fulfilled in the human spirit, Eve separated from Satan and restored to her virginity. And 1,000 thousands means 1,000 times 1,000, or 1,000 squared. Remember, we had some teaching about squaring. And that is equal to the number 1 million. 1,000 thousands, or 1,000 squared, is equal to the number 1 million, and that stands for Christ. OK, Christ swallows up the submissive Adamic soul, and we have the spiritual man. Christ swallows up the submissive Adamic soul, and what we have is a spiritual man. 1,000 squared is equal to the spiritual man.
Then we have the number 10,000 squared, or 100 -- I'm sorry. Did I say 100,000? That was 1 million. 1,000 squared is 1 million. And then we have 10,000 times 10,000, and that is equal to 100 million, and that typifies the soul of Christ typ- -- swallowing up the Adamic body, and it typifies the glorified man.
Now, when we say the human spirit squared, what we're talking about is being raised to a higher power. When the human spirit is raised to a higher level of existence, she becomes a spiritual man. What does she do? She swallows up the Adamic soul.
OK, now the human spirit is spirit to start with. Then Christ appears in her, and the human spirit is one with Christ. So what is necessary -- what is happening when we square the human spirit? We are -- when we become a fully -- a full-fledged spiritual man, the soul, which is not by nature spirit but which is by nature dust, is being spiritualized. Christ who has stood up in the human spirit has swallowed up the Adamic soul, and the whole man has become a spiritual man.
And then the number 10,000 times 10,000 typifies Christ Himself standing up in full stature, squared, and the result of that -- now, when Christ stands up in full stature, He swallows up the Adamic soul. So we're saying that squared now takes the body, which is not spirit by nature but the body which is dust by nature, and raises that to a higher power. It spiritualizes the body.
So what are we saying? That which is spirit from the start is being cleansed, that is Eve. Christ is appearing, bringing the Adamic soul into submission and then swallowing up the Adamic soul, bringing forth a spiritual man, and then the spiritual man swallows up the human body, and we have glorified man, body, soul and spirit all having been -- well, the body and soul having been converted to spirit and the spirit, which was already spirit, is glorified.
Now, I'd like you to note that we multiply by 10 to express the fulfillment of the law in the realm of the Adamic soul, in the realm of the human spirit, and in the realm of the soul of Christ. That's to express the fulfillment of the law. We multiply by 10 each time we increase. But to express the spiritual man, which means the Adamic soul has been made spirit, the cleansed human spirit must be squared. To express the glorified man, which is the spiritualization of the body, the soul of Christ must be squared.
So what we're saying is that the law can be fulfilled n the human body and spirit and in the Adamic soul, and when I say the law is fulfilled, what I mean is that they're cleansed from sin. They're -- we're not changing the basic nature of the human soul or the human body or the human spirit. When we -- when the law is fulfilled in them, they are cleansed from sin, but their basic nature remains the same. Glory to God. This mathematical concept of squaring any number, whether it be 1,000 or 10,000, it has the spiritual significance of translating something that is natural, something that is dust, such as the Adamic soul in the human body, into spirit. It's changing the basic nature. Squaring changes the basic nature. Multiplication by the number 10 means the fulfillment of the law, which is cleansing from sin, but not changing the basic nature.
And that's what we're all going through in this hour when we first -- well, I should say when Jesus Christ first encounters us, the first thing that He begins to do is cleanse us from sin. Our human soul and our human spirit is being multiplied by 10. We're being cleansed from sin. But there's another step coming, brethren. There's two more steps. We're going to become a spiritual man. We are going to find ourself in the same condition that Jesus Christ of Nazareth was in when He walked the earth in great power. He was a spiritual man. His -- Christ, the Christ, the anointed of God, had stood up in this man, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, in full stature and utterly subdued His Adamic soul and brought it into submission. He was a spiritual man, and then He became glorified, and those two steps are waiting for us also.
Three steps, brethren, cleansed from sin. Then we become a s- -- we are naturally -- we shall be a natural man cleansed from sin. Then we shall become a spiritual man where the hu- -- where the Christ in -- who has appeared in our human spirit utterly swallows up the Adamic soul that is without sin but utterly swallows him up. And then we shall become a glorified man, where our body becomes spirit also. Hallelujah. Glory to God.
OK, I'm having trouble with my pages here. Just bear with me a second. I have another comment on the last message. If you recall -- we're going to read the Alternate Translation from the last message in a minute, but if you recall, the whole creature that God has created is described as a sheep. When God breaks us down -- well, if you recall that message, God described the creature as a sheep, and we talked about the fact that in the Book of Romans the Scripture says the whole creature is waiting on tiptoe to see the manifestation of the sons of God. That word is not creation. It's creature. And in the Book of Daniel, Chapter 7, we find out that that creature God describes as a sheep.
Glory to God. And I just wanted to address any possible confusion, because I've taught you that a mature believer is described in the Scripture as a horse. And I've told you that h- -- the saddle has typified the soul, and the rider has typified the spiritual life riding him. And God does do that. God uses different descriptions to emphasize different attributes of the living soul. When God wants us to understand the fact that spiritual life rules us, He describes us as a horse and a rider with a saddle. But when He's talking about the totality of the creation in relationship to Him, apparently He describes us as a sheep, and of course, we all know that Jesus said, My sheep, hear My voice. So, I don't know about you, but it was a real blessing for me to find out that this -- to find this other witness that the Lord calls not only the individuals sheep but that He describes the entire living soul, once it's been brought into submission to Him, as a sheep.
Glory to God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Glory to God. OK, I made a couple of changes in the Alternate Translation in -- specifically in the second third of Daniel 7:10. I just want to read that for you. The -- and this -- these changes in the second third of Daniel 7:10 is specifically with regard to the 1,000 thousands and the 10,000 times 10,000. Un- -- the Lord gave me the understanding that the 1,000 thousands typifies a spiritual man, and the 10,000 times 10,000 typifies the glorified man.
So I've incorporated that into this Alternate Translation which reads, "The Father's personality was revealed in the members of the living soul which were in the correct moral order, even ruled by Christ. And He was revea-" -- that's the spiritual man. "And He was revealed in the realm of appearance through the glorified human body."
OK, I'm going to read you the whole recap now from the last message. Daniel 7, Verses 9 through 11, recap, "And I continued to look at the vision until the place where Christ rules from, even the Adamic soul, came into submission to Him. And Jesus Christ, the first one resurrected out from the realm of death, possessed the living soul and dwelt with her as a wife. The living soul was cleansed from all sin when she married Him. And the spirit of the creation of God was like one pure covering in the realm of appearance, but many human spirits that had birthed the Christ in the realm of appearance. The spirit of the Father shown through the twofold soul of Jesus, and the sons of God converting them into spirits, His many membered body was the lamp stand which holds their spiritual life."
"Christ appeared in the human spirits of the living soul, vibrated forth and covered the Father like a garment, revealing Him. The Father's personality was revealed in the members of the living soul which were in the correct moral order, even ruled by Christ. And He was revealed in the realm of appearance through the glorified human body. The instrument by which the father would sentence the living soul, even Jesus Christ, was firmly fixed within the hearts of its many members, and they were plowed, engraved with the nature of the Father, and Christ broke forth from within them."
"Then I continued to look at the vision because of the utterance of the powerful things the Christ spoke of. I continued to look within my own mind until the threefold spirit of the fallen living soul was cut off, and his spiritual authority over the living soul dispersed and lapped up by the fire of Almighty God."
Going on with Verse 12 of Chapter 7 of the Book of Daniel, "As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time."
Hallelujah. Concerning is n- -- the word concerning is not in the original Hebrew. It reads in the Hebrew, and the rest of. The word concerning that's in the King James, when I looked it up in the interlinear, that word was not there. And in place of the word concerning were the words, "And the rest of. And the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away." This word rest is Strong's 7606. It means remainder, remnant, residue. And what I'm suggesting to you is that the remainder --
Well, first of all, let me remind you that we established last week, I hope, that the beast that we were talking about in Verse -- on Verse 11, it says, "And then I beheld until the beast" -- singular -- "was slain." I hope that we established that that was the second beast that we were talking about. And we came to that conclusion because the first beast, if you recall, was the original creation that was innocent, that had not yet sinned. And he fell, and he became the second beast, the second beast being the threefold human spirit. And then we're told that there was another beast, which we determined -- it didn't say beast, just that there was another, and that that was the sin-stained human soul, and that the two were one. The beast describing the human spirit and the other, which described the human soul, was one. It was talking about the fallen living soul. And from there, we jumped to the fourth beast.
We squared the second beast because the fourth beast is Christ, and He's spirit. Hallelujah. So we determined, in Verse 11, where the Scripture's talking about the beast singular, He couldn’t be talking about Christ, because we're told that He lost His power, so He couldn’t be talking about Christ. And we couldn't -- He couldn't be -- the Scripture couldn't be talking about the original creation, because the original creation no longer exists. He is now a fallen creation. Glory to God.
So we're now in Verse 12, and the Scripture says, "But the rest of the beasts." Well, the rest of what beasts? The first beast doesn't exist anymore, and we can't be talking about Christ. So we must be talking about the rest of the fallen Adam. Verse 11 describes the threefold human spirit and what happens to it. It's cut off, and it's spiritual authority over the living soul is dispersed and wrapped up by the fire of God. And concerning the rest of the beasts -- well, what's left? Only the sin-stained human soul. That's all that's left.
Now, what's confusing is that the word beasts is plural. And I cannot prove this to you in the Hebrew. I looked in the interlinear. I'm going to be honest with you. The word in the interlinear is plural, and the rest of the beasts, but I know from personal experience and I've also heard on many occasions that these modern copies of the Hebrew Scriptures have very frequently been changed because the people copying them think -- excuse me. They think that they see an error.
You see, the ancient manuscripts were all written by hand. So a lot of these publishing companies that use machinery to reproduce these original manuscripts, they see something that looks like an error, and there were a lot of errors in the original manuscripts because they were copied by hand a copy at a time. So somewhere along the line, I am convinced -- you could pray about that, that someone involved in the publishing of these Hebrew Scriptures looked at this word, and said, well, it ca- -- it's not possible that it could be reading, "And concerning the rest of the beast," singular. "They had their dominion taken away." Well, that's just bad English, so they bade -- it's bad Hebrew. It's just bad grammar. The rest of the beast? So they made it plural. But I'm suggesting to you that the word beast should be singular.
And what this Verse 12 is saying, "And the rest of the beast," and the rest of the fallen living soul. We have just addressed the issue of the threefold spirit of the living soul, so the rest of the fallen living soul is what? The sin-stained human soul. Glory to God. And if you would like to study this further, I go into it in a little more detail on -- in message number 48, Part 2, the concept that this word rest or remainder really means the balance of the other parts of the living soul that we have not yet dealt with.
So what are we saying? And concerning the other part of the fallen living soul, which is the human soul, they had their dominion taken away. Well, why the pronoun they? Well, these pronouns in the Hebrew, they all mean they, he, she, it. It's just one Hebrew word for all these things. But aside from that, I think the word they is correct because the human soul, he had his dominion taken away, but he's in many members, so we're going to continue to say, "As concerning the rest of the beast, even the human soul, they, the many members, had their dominion taken away." Glory to God. Hallelujah.
The word dominion is Strong's 7985, and it's a feminine, plural word. Supporting the fact that it's many membered, it's plural. And the fact that it's feminine supports the fact that it's soul. Glory to God. And we know that the fallen living soul is feminine, on the soul realm, inferior to spirit and female, by spiritual standards. So as concerning the human soul of this living creature, they, the human soul and the many members, they had their dominion taken away. And this word dominion means to have mastery or power, to bear rule over. And I suggest to you what this is talking about is authority to exist.
"And as concerning the remainder of the beast, even the human spirit, they had their authority to exist taken away." And we've had several teachings on this, that for a human being to exist in this realm of appearance, a spiritual authority is needed. For thousands of years, the only spiritual authority that could give a man existence in this realm of appearance was the spirit known as Satan. But 2,000 years ago, glory to God, a new power base appeared in the earth. His name is Christ. And in this hour, He is causing men to incarnate by His authority. And as He increases, those human beings who are existing in this earth by the authority or the power base of the spirit known as Satan, they are going to lose, and indeed are in the process of losing their authority to exist. Why? Because Satan is being swallowed up by Christ. He will no longer have the power to impart to men to incarnate in this realm of appearance.
And that authority was taken away. Taken away is Strong's 5709. It means to alter. That means to change, to depart, to pass away. It corresponds to 5710. That means it comes from the same infinitive, and that 5710 means, also -- besides alter and depart and pass on, it also can mean to bedeck, to bring an ornament upon. And I'm suggesting to you that throughout the Scripture, the fact of the Spirit of God coming upon somebody is described as ornamenting them, as bedecking them, as making them glorious. The Scripture is -- describes this Spirit of God as coming upon a man as giving jewels to that man. So what are we saying here?
Alternate Translation, the first half of Daniel, Chapter 7, Verse 12. Glory to God. Hallelujah. "And the other part of the fallen living soul" -- I'm sorry. I'm going to take that again. "And the other part of the fallen Adam, even the sin-stained human soul, they had Christ added to them."
Do you hear this? They lost their authority to exist. They lost their authority to incarnate. The carnal mind of man would say they're now burning in hell forever. But I'm suggesting to you, glory to God, that the Scripture of Almighty God says they had Christ added to them. And indeed they lost their authority to exist as carnal men. They lost their authority to exist separate from Christ.
But, indeed, they still existed for their life is hid in Him, saith the Lord. Yea, even My people, saith God, even My bride and My wife, the living soul, saith the Lord. Yea, I shall give them authority to exist, saith the Lord God. And they shall come into submission to Me, and I shall rule over them, and the dominion shall be Mine, saith God. And they shall be with Me, even for the life of the ages. Hallelujah. Glory to God.
Continuing with -- we're still in Verse 12. "Yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time." Glory to God. Hallelujah. "Yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time." OK, the word yet, that word can also be translated nevertheless, and we're going to use it that way in our Alternate Translation.
The word -- "Yet their lives were prolonged for a length of time." This word prolonged, the translation's very botchy here. We have a word, it's Strong's 752, and it's translated in Strong's yet length of. And what it really means is to prolong or to lengthen. And the way the King James translators translated it is, "Yet their lives were prolonged." Those four -- "Yet their lives were prolonged." Those five words are one Hebrew word, Strong's 752. And so we're going to say, "Nevertheless" -- OK -- "their lives were prolonged."
And the word lives is Strong's 2417, and it's referring to the soul life. We know there's a life of the body and a life of the soul and a life of the spirit. This is the Hebrew word referring to the soul life. So what are we saying? Their permission, their authority to exist in this realm of the soul was taken away from them. But nevertheless, they continued to exist. Their lives were prolonged. Did you hear about the beast whose head received a deadly wound? Nevertheless he lived, and they all wondered after the beast. Glory to God.
"Yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time." This word for is Strong's 3588, and it can be translated until. We're going to be using the translation until for this Hebrew word that the King James translators translated for. "For a season." The word season is Strong's 2166, and it means an appointed occasion. They lost their authority to incarnate, but nevertheless, their soul lives were prolonged or permitted to continue until the appointed time. What appointed time, brethren? I'm suggesting to you until Christ was in full stature so that He could swallow them up and live through them, that they be not destroyed off the face of the earth forever. If God had cast down every member of the living soul in the hour that Jesus was glorified 2,000 years ago, the whole human race would have been wiped out. Glory to God.
So, "Their lives are being prolonged for a time -- for a season and for a time." And this word time is Strong's 5732, and it can be translated year. It's from another word, Strong's 5708, which means an appointed time, especially the monthly courses of women. We're talking about spiritual menstruation. If you would like to review the teaching on spiritual menstruation, it is on message 7. And, basically, that teaching goes that each and ever members of the living soul, every human being alive, is a spiritual egg waiting, potentially, to be fertilized by the spiritual sperm of Almighty God. And every man that walks on this earth that is never fertilized and produces the life of Christ is a menstruous egg that dies and never rises again. And, yes, I do believe all men shall be saved. Get my teaching on message 21. If you can't understand it, put it on the shelf. Pray about it, and put it on the shelf. Glory to God. Hallelujah. So what have we here? Glory to God.
Alternate Translation, second half of Daniel 7:12, "Nevertheless, their soulish lives were prolonged until the season appointed for them to waste away." Brethren, a menstruous egg that does not produce a child wastes away. That's what the menstrual flow is. It's the waste of was not -- of that which was not used. "Nevertheless, their soulish lives were prolonged until the season appointed for them to waste away."
Alternate Translation, Daniel 7:12, "And the other part of the fallen Adam, even the sin-stained human soul, they had Christ added to them: nevertheless their soulish lives were prolonged until the season appointed for them to waste away."
Glory to God. Well, what does that mean they had Christ added to them: nevertheless their human souls were sustained? Well, it could mean a lot of things. It could mean that the potential to bring forth Christ was added to them. Brethren, 2,000 years ago, when Jesus Christ was glorified, the potential to produce the life of Christ was added to the living soul: nevertheless their soulish lives were prolonged for at least 2,000 years. Hallelujah. Until the season appointed for them to waste away, and in that season that they're wasting away, their true life is becoming hid in Christ. Hallelujah. Glory to God.
Verse 13, "I saw in the night vision, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought Him near before Him."
"I saw in the night visions." The word saw is Strong's 2370. It means to gaze upon or to dream. The word night -- now, this is very interesting. This Hebrew word translated night is Strong's 6916. It is the only time it is translated night in Strong's Concordance, and I declare to you that it is a different Hebrew word translated night than the Hebrew word translated night in Daniel 7:2, "Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea." That is a different Hebrew word than the Hebrew word in Verse 13, "I saw in the night visions." Now, if you didn't look this up in the Hebrew, you -- this would go right past you, brethren. Glory to God.
This is, as I said, Strong's 6916, and what it really means, strangely enough, is cassia. It's a kind of aromatic. It's an herb. It's like cinnamon, and -- but less valuable and less fragrant, and it is so-called from its rolls being split or shriveled. What -- it's a spice. Did you ever see a cinnamon roll? Cinnamon comes in -- it's like a leaf, and it's rolled up. It comes in rolls. You can buy it in a spice store. It's called cinnamon rolls.
Well, there's another spice. It's called cassia, and its rolls are split or shriveled up. Cassia was one of the spices, or one of the herbs that was used when the Levitical priests prepared incense to be burned. The incense that the Hebrews -- that the Levitical priests used was not the incense that you buy in the store today. It was an incense made out of sweet spices and herbs, and one of those herbs or spices was something called cassia, C-A-S-S-I-A.
Glory to God. And this word is from a root, 6915, which is only one number away from 6916, and 6915 means to bow down, to incline oneself out of honor or reverence. And this word, 6915, is used in Genesis 24:26, translated, "And the man bowed down his head and worshipped" -- or prostrated himself -- "before the Lord." And I'm suggesting to you that this word cassia refers to be bowed down or prostrated. Its rolls, remember, are shriveled up or split, and I'm suggesting to you, brethren, that when Christ is exalted in you, your soul is shriveled up. And when Christ is not exalted in you, your soul is puffed up. Surely you've heard that expression. Your soul is puffed up, and you're filled with pride. Brethren, when you are without pride and when Christ is exalted in you, your soul is the opposite of puffed up. It is shriveled up.
What I'm suggesting to you is that Daniel was saying, my soul was shriveled, prostrated, utterly bowed down before the spirit of Almighty God. And because I was in submission to Him, I saw with His eyes. My carnal mind was shriveled up. I was not looking with my carnal mind. Christ was prevailing in me. I was looking into the realm of the spirit of Almighty God.
Verse 13, "And I saw in the night visions." This word visions is 2376, and it merely means a sight. It is the same word translated visions in Daniel 7:2. Glory to God. It is the same word translated vision. Hallelujah. Glory to God.
Let me just read you my comment. I don't want to miss anything. The literal translation of the phrase, "I saw in the night visions," is, "Looking, I was in the visions of the night," or, "I was looking at the sights which are seen when a man is shriveled up or bowed down," or, "I was able to look into the realm of the spirit because my soul was in submission to the Spirit of God." Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus.
You want to know why some people have more understanding than others, brethren? Maybe their soul is in more submission to God than others. There also is such a thing as a spiritual gift, and God wants to know why you can see in the spirit. He wants to know whether you have a spiritual gift that was given to you without repentance, or He wants to know if it's because your soul is shriveled up in submission to Almighty God.
And I declare to you, brethren, you could be the most spiritual person that I've ever met in the church in 11 years, but if your spirituality arises from a gift that has been given without repentance, start counting down. You can't keep it. Start counting down. There's a Scripture that says, brethren, when you enter into the synagogue, sit in the last seat, in the farthest back row that you can find, because if you put yourself in that front row and one greater than you comes in -- and who is the one greater than you, brethren? He's the one that doesn't have it by a gift without repentance. He's the one that has conceived Christ. When he comes in, brethren, you are getting bounced, and your feelings are going to be hurt.
There shall be wailing and mashing of teeth. Lord, Lord, we cast out demons in your name. We healed the sick. We visited the poor, and we fed the hungry. How can we be locked out? You are not the genuine article. You have not produced the fruit of My Spirit. Be gone from Me, I never knew you. And there shall be wailing and mashing of teeth. Glory to God.
"And I saw in the night visions, and, behold" -- well, let me just make one more comment here, to all of you believers that are not gloriously gifted, that are not knocking peoples' socks off with prophecies and speaking in tongues and mighty miracles of deliverance and healing. Take heart, oh, you barren, for indeed, you shall be the bearer of many children. Glory to God.
"I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like unto the Son of man." Glory to God. The word Son is Strong's s- -- 1247, and we've had this many times. It merely means son, builder of the family line. "I saw one like the Son of man." The word -- this word man is Strong's 606, and it specifically means mortal man. We're not talking about the Son of God. This is a mortal man. "I saw" -- glory to God -- "one like the Son of man. I saw" -- now, who's mortal man? Adam, he's mortal man. If you are a descendant of Adam, brethren, you are a son of man. What this Scripture is saying, in a fancy way, is that he saw a descendant of Adam, natural man.
Only this one, this members of the living soul, he came with the clouds of heaven. And this word came, this Hebrew word translated came, is Strong's 65- -- I'm sorry, 857, and it doesn't mean come like you'll come into a room, just happened to walk into a room. It means to come upon. It means that something happened. Something happened to a person. Something came upon them. Sometimes we used the expression, and evil came upon me, or great fortune or great blessings came upon me. It doesn't mean just sauntering into a room. It means that something's happening to you.
"And he came with the clouds of heaven." He came upon the clouds of heaven. I'm going to suggest to you that this word translated with, the King James Version says, "And he came with the clouds of heaven." It sounds like they came strolling into the room together. But I'm going to suggest to you that this Hebrew word translated with, which is Strong's number 5973, is used of equality or similitude. Glory to God. And what it means is that he came equally with clouds. Now, we're going to come back to this.
The word clouds is Strong's 6050, and a cloud is a covering. It's something that covers the sky, and the sky typifies spirit. What covers spirit, anybody remember? What covers spirit, anybody? Soul covers spirit. Soul is the garment for spirit, and the body is the garment for the soul. So when we talk about clouds, we're talking about souls. And we're talking about the clouds of heaven. The word heaven is Strong's 8065, and that merely means to be high. And if you'd like to review the spiritual significance of clouds, you can do that on messages -- there are several messages on it, message number 4, message number 31, part 5, message 38, part 2. And I'm suggesting to you that they are the souls. The clouds are the souls that will cover the Spirit of God, souls that have been cleansed from sin and are now the garment for the Spirit of God. Well, let's see what we've got.
Alternate Translation, one -- the first third of Revelation 12:13, "And I continued to look into the realm of the spirit because my soul was prostrated before the Lord. And there he was, the offspring of the Spirit of God and mortal man, and he was appearing in and becoming one with many human souls that had been cleansed from sin."
Now, I guess I didn't make this point. The word Son of God -- and I guess I went past that. We revie- -- and I didn't put down the message number of where I taught this. I know I taught it. OK, I'll go over it again. Brethren, this is a very tricky subject. A lot of people have a problem with it. I'd like to ask for your attention and, you know, if you -- and if you'll try to understand this with me. God is producing offspring. His wife is the living soul. There is going to be a child at -- that will result from the union between the Spirit of God and the mortal living soul, and the offspring will be the son of the living soul, son of man, and the Son of the Spirit of God.
Jesus Christ clearly stated, on many occasions, "I am the Son of man. I am the Son of God." He was not double-minded. It was not that He could not make up His mind. He was the product. He was the offspring of the living soul and the Spirit of God. Brethren, if you are a natural man, you are the offspring of the incestuous relationship between the living soul and its own spirit. Jesus Christ was the offspring that was -- that the living soul produced. He was begotten by the Spirit of God, and that is the implication here.
The Son of -- I keep losing my place here, excuse me. He was the Son of man. He was the Son of mortal man, but although it's not clear in this Scripture, when we read another verse down where we'll find out that He was the Son of mortal man all right, but H- -- the Father was not the spirit of Satan. The Father was the Spirit of God, and we co- [AUDIO CUTS OUT] -- and we can draw that conclusion because the next verse says that he came with the clouds, and the clouds typify the garment for the Spirit of God.
So this is the translation that we got. The offspring of the Spirit of God and mortal man, and He was appearing in, He was coming upon the clouds. He wasn't walking with them. He was coming upon them. They were one. They were equal. They were together, and the two are one, and He was becoming one with the many human souls that had been cleansed from sin.
Alternate Translation, the first third of Revela- -- of Revelation? Of Daniel -- where did I get that from? Of Daniel 7:13. "And I looked into the realm of the spirit because my soul was prostrated before the Lord, and there He was, the offspring of the Spirit of God and mortal man. And He was appearing in and becoming one with the many human souls" -- that's the clouds -- "that have been cleansed from sin."
Glory to God. Continuing with, "And came to the Ancient of days." "I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days." Now, the phrase, the Ancient of days, we did this in the last message. I'm going to repeat it quickly because it's really important. But if you want to hear me go into it in detail, just get the prior message to this.
The word came is -- the Hebrew word translated came is Strong's 4291, and it is a different Hebrew word than, "And, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds." That is one Hebrew word, and the phrase that says, "And came to the Ancient of days," that is another Hebrew word. The first Hebrew word translated came means that He came upon, He was becoming one with the clouds. The second Hebrew word translated came, they came to the Ancient of days, that is Strong's 4291, and that means what we would normally think the word came would mean, to be found present with, to arrive, to reach, to walk into the room. They got there. So He was one with the clouds, the offspring of the Spirit of God and man, even Christ. Who's the offspring of mortal man and the Spirit of God, even Christ. He became one with the souls of the many members of the living soul, and they arrived at, and they reached the Ancient of days.
Now, a quick review of what the Ancient of days is. Ancient is Strong's 6268. It means old, ancient, and there's another Hebrew word with the same, exact spelling, Strong's 6267. It was Strong's decision to make this into two Hebrew words. As far as we're concerned, they're the same. And what that 6267 means is taken away from the mother's breast, released from slavery or set free. The word days is Strong's 3118, and they refer to time periods in which the Spirit of God is present. So what are we saying? The phrase, the Ancient of days, speaks of the one who was set free from the days, the one who was set free from the realm of time. It also speaks of the one who was a child and is now weaned from His mother. And who is the mother of man? The earth of the living soul. The Ancient of days is the one that is weaned from the living soul. He no longer needs the womb of the soul to stay alive.
Do you know, if you have conceived Christ and He births prematurely -- I'm sorry. I said the wrong thing. If you have conceived Christ and you die, if your human body dies, He cannot live outside of your body, in His present condition. If a three month -- if a woman that's three months pregnant dies, that baby dies. Brethren, if you've conceived Christ and you die, He dies. Bu there's a day coming, brethren, that you could die, and He'll raise you from the dead, because He will be able to live without your body and without your soul. Well, the Ancient of days refers to the one that was weaned from the womb of the living soul. Glory to God. He's the one from old, or the one who existed before the foundation of the earth, the one who was joined to the earth and birthed in a new form from within her. And the one that who has now returned to pure sprit form and is one with the Father, even the Lord Jesus Christ.
Alternate Translation, second third, Daniel 7:13, "And they were set free from the realm of time."
Do you hear this? The souls of the many members of the living soul joined with Christ, and they arrived at a place where they were set free from the earth. They were set free from the realm of time. They put the soul realm under their feet.
Glory to God. Continuing with, "And they brought him near before Him." "I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before Him."
This word brought is Strong's 7127, and it means to approach for whatever purpose, to draw near. And you could review message number 10 for a deeper understanding of the spiritual significance of to draw near. Hallelujah.
"And they brought him near before Him." The word before is Strong's 6925. It means in front of.
Alternate Translation, third third of Daniel 7:13, "And they drew near to the Father and appeared in front of Him and became His body in the realm of appearance. And they drew near to the Father and appeared in front of Him and became His body in the realm of appearance."
Alternate Translation, the whole of Daniel 7:13, "I was looking into the realm of the spirit because my soul was prostrated before the Lord. And there He was, the offspring of the Spirit of God and mortal man, and He was appearing in and becoming one with many human souls that had been cleansed from sin, and they were set free from the realm of time. And they drew near to the Father and appeared in front of Him and became His body in the realm of appearance."
Let me read that for you again. Glory to God. "I was looking into the realm of the spirit because my soul was prostrated before the Lord. And there He was, the offspring of the Spirit of God and mortal man, and He was appearing in and becoming one with many human souls that had been cleansed from sin, and they were set free from the realm of time. And they drew near to the Father and appeared in front of Him and became His body in the realm of appearance."
Verse 14, "And there was given Him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve Him: His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." Excuse me. Glory to God.
"And there was given him dominion." Was given, Strong's 3052. It means to deliver, to set, and that means -- the implication of to set is to set up within him. And I'm suggesting to you that what was given to him was a foundation, that this implies to lay a foundation. Spiritual things are within, and there was given him dominion. I should tell you that the word dominion is Strong's 7985. It means empire, mastery, power. And I'm suggesting to you that dominion was given to him over what? Over the living soul, and that that dominion was set up within him.
Brethren, we are waiting to receive power over our souls. That power is not in a gun. That power is not anything that we can lay hold of with our human hand. That power is the foundation of Christ that is being laid within us. So there was given him dominion. I'm suggesting to you that there was a foundation set up within him. The word was given can be translated set up, and I'm suggesting to you that a foundation was set up within him, within Adam. We're talking about the fallen Adam here. A foundation was set up within the fallen Adam that gave him mastery and power over his own soul.
"And glory, and a kingdom," was also given to him. The word glory is Strong's 3367. It means wealth, costliness. And I'm suggesting to you that what makes a man valuable, instead of garbage, is the ability to produce and sustain life from within himself. We know that the natural man is called garbage. You can review that on message 38, part 5. I think that's a mistake. I think it should be message 31. If you want to look that up and you're having a problem, just get in touch with me. I'm pretty sure it's message 31. At this point, I don't know whether part 5 is right or not. Just let me know if you want that message.
We have established that God calls the natural man garbage. And what i- -- and garbage has no value whatsoever. So what is going to give us value or what is going to give us glory is the addition of the life of Christ to us. And we change. We are transformed from being garbage or worms to being the glorious life of Christ. We receive value. We will have life within ourself. We shall be a seed bearing tree, a fruit-bearing tree whose seed is within himself. Hallelujah.
"And a kingdom" -- "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom." And the word kingdom is Strong's 4437. It refers to a kingly realm. And I'm suggesting to you that this is typifying the body. We've talked a lot about kingdoms. A kingdom to ha- -- for a kingdom to exist, you have to have land. You have to have a king, and you have to have subjects. And I'm suggesting to you that your king is either Christ or Satan and that the land that your king lives in and rules over is your soul and that the subjects are the many members of the living soul. And what we're talking about here is the body. And inasmuch as we're talking about Adam being raised back up to the dominion of Christ, I'm suggesting to you that we are speaking of the glorified body, although the Scripture does not specify that. We will have to take this word body and look at it in view of the surrounding phrases. And I don't personally see how anyone could draw the conclusion that it would be anything other than the glorified body.
"And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him." The word people is Strong's 5972. It means a congregated unit, a tribe -- a congregated unit or a tribe, and I'm suggesting to you that it's referring to groups of people gathered together for any purpose, groups of unrelated people gathered together for any purpose. They could be gathered together to go to school. I work in a office that has several hundred people. We're gathered together, and we have no relationship at all.
Glory to God. "That all people, nations, and languages, should serve him." The word nations is Strong's 524, and it means a community of persons coming from the same stock, coming from the same nationality, all Greeks, all Puerto Ricans. Americans wouldn't fall into that category. Americans come from all different kinds of stock. Glory to God.
"All people, nations, and languages." The word languages is Strong's 3961, and that refers to speech. And it's referring to a group of people or -- of different backgrounds that speak the same language. Now we're talking America. We're talking Australia. We're talking New Zealand. We're talking about a country that's populated by many different nationalities or races and religious groups, but we're all here. We're all Americans, and we all speak English, or most -- you know, we're supposed to speak English. That's a big controversy in this nation today, but English is still the official language of this nation, and most people that live here speak English. We fall into the category of languages.
Glory to God. "That all people, nations, and languages, should serve him." This word serve is 6399. It means to worship, to break open or pierce, to bring forth, to strike through. Isn't that interesting? To break open or pierce, to bring forth, to strike through. It's also translated worship. Hallelujah. And this word him is Strong's 846, and I'm suggesting to you that it's really -- that it is a reflexive pronoun, and that it can be translated himself as well as him.
Now, I'd like to remind you and ask you to remember that there is really only one Adam. And I know a lot of preachers preach there are two Adams. And I have it on some of my messages myself, because in the earlier stages of this ministry, I just felt it was necessary to help the people understand. And I preached the first Adam was a living soul, and the second Adam was a life-quickening spirit. And a lot of preachers preach there are two Adams. the first Adam was the carnal Adam, and the second Adam is Christ, but that's not correct. If you look at that Scripture in the interlinear, what it's really saying is at the first, the Eternal One was a living soul, and at the last, he was a life-quickening spirit.
And I'm reminding you of another teaching that you've heard, if you've been following along with these teachings, that the Son of God was propelled into the earth to give live to the earth. He was made into a man and that the living -- the fallen living soul is in fact the humbled and humiliated Son of God, that the Lord, His Father, is in the process of raising back up into the heavenlies and has in fact raised up in the realm of the spirit. It just hasn’t happened yet in the realm of the soul or in the realm of appearance. He has been glorified, because if the first fruits is holy, the whole lump is holy. We're waiting for this glorious feat to appear in the realm of the soul and in the realm of appearance. So -- well, I'll go into that further as I read you this Alternate Translation.
Alternate Translation, the first half of Daniel, Chapter 7, Verse 14. "And there was set up within Adam a foundation that gave him mastery over his own soul." I should have said, "And there was set up within the fallen Adam a foundation that gave him mastery over his own soul, a spirit that produces life from within itself and a glorified body, even Christ, so that all kinds of people, all nationalities and all groups of people with different ethnic backgrounds but who speak the same language should break open their Adamic souls and pierce through into the realm of God's Spirit."
Glory to God. I'm just trying to see why I put that comment in on the two Adams over there. "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him." I see. And I'm translating that, "That all people, nations, and languages, should serve himself." And what I'm saying is that the first Adam and the last Adam are really one. They're really one.
"And there was set up within Adam, within the fallen Adam, a foundation that gave him mastery over his own soul, a spirit that produces life from within itself and a glorified body, even Christ, so that all different kinds of peoples, all nationalities and all groups of people with different ethnic backgrounds but who speak the same language should break open their Adamic souls" -- that's the word translated serve in the King James -- "that not that they should serve him but that they should break open their Adamic souls and pierce through into the realm of God's Spirit."
Glory to God. I think I left something out in my Alternate Translation. "And they should serve him, and they should break th- -- they should break open their Adamic souls and pierce through in to the realm of God's Spirit."
OK, what it's saying is he should serve himself because he is the first Adam, and he is the last Adam. OK, I'll just drop it there. It's just a minor point.
Continuing with, glory to God, "His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." The word dominion, again, I remind you, is referring to rule over his own soul. And the word everlasting is 5957, and it means the future or past indefinitely. In other words, we're talking about rule without end. This word, pass away, is Strong's 590- -- I'm sorry, 5709, and it means to pass away, to remove, to change.
And the word destroyed, it's the only time this Hebrew is translated destroyed. It's 2255 in Strong's, and it means to ruin, to pervert or to corrupt. "And his dominion is an everlasting dominion which shall not pass away." It shall not be perverted. It's not going to return back to the soul realm. I remind you, the soul realm is a perversion of the spiritual realm.
Alternate Translation, second half of Daniel 7:14, "Adam's mastery over his own soul is for the life of the ages. He shall never lose it, and his glorified body shall not be destroyed. It shall never return to the vile, corruptible human bodies that we're in now." He will not fall again. That's what it's saying. He will not be capable of falling again.
Alternate Translation, Daniel 7, Verse 14, "And there was set up within Adam a foundation that gave him mastery over his own soul, a spirit that produces life from within itself and a glorified body, even Christ, so that all different kinds of peoples, all nationalities and all groups of people with different ethnic backgrounds but who speak the same language should break open their Adamic souls and pierce through into the realm of God's Spirit. Adam's mastery over his own soul is for the life of the ages. He shall never lose it, and his glorified body shall not be destroyed."
Recap, Daniel, Chapter 7, 11 to 14, "Then I continued to look at the vision because of the utterance of the powerful things the Christ spoke of." Oh, I -- that's -- I'm going back to the last verse that we took in last week's message, because I felt that it's pertinent.
So starting with Verse 11, "Then I continued to look at the vision because of the utterance of the powerful things the Christ spoke of. I continued to look within my own mind until the threefold spirit of the fallen Adam was cut off, and his spiritual authority over the living soul dispersed and lapped up by the fire of God. And the other part of the fallen Adam, even the sin-stained human soul, they had Christ added to them. Nevertheless, their soulish lives were prolonged until the season appointed for them to waste away." Glory to God.
"I continued to look into the realm of the spirit because my soul was prostrated before the Lord. And there he was, the offspring of the Spirit of God and mortal man. And he was appearing in and becoming one with many human souls that had been cleansed from sin. And they were set free from the realm of time, and they drew nearer to the Father and appeared in front of Him and became His body in the realm of appearance."
"And there was set up within Adam a foundation that gave him mastery over his own soul, a spirit that produces life from within itself and a glorified body, even Christ, so that all different kinds of peoples, all nationalities and all groups of people with different ethnic backgrounds but who speak the same language should break open their Adamic souls and pierce through into the realm of God's Spirit. Adam's mastery over his own soul is for the life of the ages. He shall never lose it, and his glorified body shall not be destroyed or perverted or ever return to this vile form that we are in right now."
Hallelujah. Glory to God.
Any questions tonight, anybody?
Glory to God.
