Spiritual Wives (Judges, Chapter 21) - Part 7

10/27/99

Scriptures Commented On (In Order Of Appearance): Jerm. 3:8, Judges 21:7, Rev. 13:12

<LivingEM> Praise the Lord everybody God is good.

I would like to continue with our study on Spiritual Wives. We started this series in June, and I came under a severe spiritual attack in the midst of the series. Parts 4,5, and 6, are related to the main theme -- Judges 21:1-25, but I did not really get into the main theme of the subject because my spiritual condition was deteriorating under the pressure of the onslaught. But I would like to continue with the series today. We did not translate any verses in Part 4, and Parts 5 and 6 flowed into a study of Ezekiel's bones. So, as far as the meat of the study goes, we are really picking up after Part 3, which ended with an alternate translation of Judges 21:6.

Does anybody remember the thrust of the subject matter of Judges 21: 1-6? The men of Israel were in a warfare with the men of the tribe of Benjamin. Does anybody remember the reason for the war? The men of Israel, in this instance, were Jehovah's spiritual police, and they were waging war against the spiritual males of the tribe of Benjamin, because Satan had overtaken the spiritual males of the tribe of Benjamin. This means, physically speaking, the spiritual males of all of the tribes could have been physically male or physically female. So we see that the warfare between Jehovah's spiritual police and the tribe of Benjamin was spiritual.

The men of Israel, including the tribe of Benjamin, had entered into a covenant with Jehovah, and this covenant was a marriage vow. The men of Israel, that is, the physical men and women who were the spiritual males -- entered into a marriage contract with Jehovah, and this marriage contract declared that they would engage in spiritual sexual intercourse with Jehovah, alone. The crisis in Israel, arose when one of their tribes, Benjamin, broke the marriage contract with Jehovah. So the remaining eleven tribes were threatened with infiltration by Satan and spiritual seduction by Leviathan, which would lead to spiritual adultery and divorce between Jehovah and the spiritual males of Israel.

The King James Translation sounds like Jehovah divorced Israel as a punishment, but this is not so.

Jer 3:8, And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also. (KJV)

Brethren, Jehovah, who is appearing to us today in the form of the Lord Jesus Christ, has promised to never leave us or forsake us. the Lord Jesus does not break his covenant with his wife because she is backsliden. If that were the case, we would all be divorced because of the thoughts of our carnal mind, at one time or another. The Lord Jesus Christ is in the midst of this corrupt world, but he has not forsaken us despite humanity's continued rejection of him. Moreover, Jehovah is not a mortal man, and neither is His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Mortal men are granted divorce in extreme circumstances, but the Lord Jesus Christ will never divorce us, and Jehovah never divorced Israel. Israel abandoned Jehovah through her spiritual adultery.

Israel took another lover, and Israel's illicit lover killed the regenerated Adam, Jehovah's male organ in Israel, as it is clearly demonstrated in the account of David and Bathsheba.

David stole a man's wife, but when adultery alone ceased to satisfy him, David murdered the woman's husband. David's behavior is the physical expression of the collective adulterous heart of Israel. David acted out what the rest of Israel was thinking in their heart.

So we see that Satan found place in the spiritual males of the tribe of Benjamin, and that the deterioration of the spiritual marital covenant between Israel and Jehovah in Benjamin was threatening the marital relationship between Jehovah and the other tribes of Israel.

Does anybody remember how Benjamin's change of spiritual position threatened the remaining eleven tribes of Israel? The spiritual males of the tribe of Benjamin were discouraging the faithful spiritual males of the other tribes from the lifestyle which leads to spiritual ascension into the brow energy center.

We see this same principle in the Church today. The men who are unwilling to walk the straight and narrow path towards spiritual ascension into Christ Jesus' time line, and spiritual intimacy with Jehovah through the Lord Jesus Christ, discourage the ones who are willing to pay the price.

The most difficult part of dealing with brethren who would discourage us is that, more often than not, they are completely unaware of what they are doing. Therefore, those of us who are seeking to follow the true Spirit, must deal with people who have at least two faces. In most instances, they have a sweet, kind face, which truly loves us, but they also have a mind which is about 90 percent subconscious or unconscious, which has a will of its own, and goes forth to do the work of its master, Satan.

So we se the spiritual males of the tribe of Benjamin attempting to seduce faithful Israelites on the one hand and, on the other hand, manifesting the witchcraft which comes out of the unconscious mind. Seduction comes out of the subconscious mind, and witchcraft comes after the unconscious mind. This means that when we try to influence our brothers to do things "our way," we know what we are doing on some "subconscious" level. This is the sin of pride.

On the unconscious level, Satan, the unconscious part of our carnal mind, is raging towards those who are faithfully pursuing the Lord Jesus Christ, to attack their emotions and the thoughts of their mind. This is the price that we pay for spiritual power in Christ Jesus.

Either that spiritual power is under the control of Adam/Christ Jesus, or she is manifesting out of her own will. Human spiritual power manifesting out of its own will, that is, spiritual power which is not covered through union with the Spirit of Elijah/Christ, is Satan. The spiritual males of Benjamin were unaware that they had been seduced, or that the rage of the unconscious part of their carnal mind was tormenting the spiritual males of Israel, but they must have had some inkling that they were influencing their brothers to turn aside from the lifestyle that leads to the ultimate intimacy with Adam/Christ and the Spirit of Elijah/Christ.

The warfare was spiritual. It was mind to mind. The men of Israel were consciously wielding the power of the subconscious and unconscious parts of their righteous mind against the power of the subconscious and unconscious parts of the carnal mind of the spiritual males of the tribe of Benjamin.

Can anyone tell us the name of the unconscious part of the mind of the spiritual males who are married to Jehovah (Lord Jesus Christ in the new Testament)? The Spirit of Christ is the name of the unconscious part of the mind of the spiritual males who are married to the Lord Jesus Christ, and Christ Jesus is the subconscious part. In the Old Testament, Adam is the name of the subconscious part of the righteous mind, and the Spirit of Elijah is the name of the unconscious part. When the account predates Elijah, Elohim is the unconscious part of the righteous mind.

So we see that Jehovah's spiritual police were fighting for their own lives, and for the lives of all of the faithful spiritual males in Israel, including the faithful spiritual males of Benjamin, who were overtaken by Satan.

The twelve tribes of Israel were one spiritual bride. All of the spiritual males of Israel were joined as one man in their unconscious mind, and the women and the children were there also. So we see that Satan, by entering into the unconscious part of the minds of the spiritual males of the tribe of Benjamin, had gained access to the unconscious part of the mind of all of the people of Israel. Israel had been penetrated. Satan, the enemy of their spiritual lives, had gained access to their mind through their brothers, the spiritual males of the tribe of Benjamin.

Each individual has walls within his own mind, and there is also a group wall, or a group defense. The group defenses of the individual spiritual male in Israel had been severely damaged and weakened, and the faithful males of Israel were doing the best that they could to rally together against the enemy which was now spiritually active within the tribe of Benjamin.

But the worst part of the whole affair was that the spiritual males of Benjamin were unaware that Satan has overshadowed Elohim, their unconscious mind. They thought they were righteous. They could no longer think with the mind of Christ, but perceived evil to be good, and good to be evil. Therefore, there was no reasoning with them. The only thing left to do was to wage a spiritual warfare against Satan, their unconscious mind, "in the Spirit." This means that the majority of the warfare would be perceived only by the spiritual males with the capacity to war in the spiritual plane.

I remind you that Benjamin was winning the battle. Can anyone tell us why Benjamin was winning the battle? Can anyone tell us why Benjamin was defeating Jehovah's spiritual police, the spiritual males of Israel?

<Overcomer> Satan was fully ascended in Benjamin?

<LivingEM> Yes. Satan is always stronger then the spiritual males of the righteous household who are not yet ascended into the brow energy center and fully joined to the glorified Elijah/Christ. And in the case of Benjamin, Satan was at her apex, meaning that the fiery serpent was fully ascended and feeding in the seventh energy center of the spiritual males of the tribe of Benjamin.

Does anybody remember or know from their own knowledge what turned the battle in the favor of Jehovah's spiritual police? What strengthened Jehovah's spiritual police to overcome Satan, the unconscious part of the mind of the spiritual males of the tribe of Benjamin? Elohim came to the rescue.

The King James translation says "Elohim," but we know that Elohim assisted Jehovah's spiritual police in the form of the glorified Elijah. You see, the Spirit of Elijah is always present with the regenerated Adam, and the Spirit of Christ is always present with the regenerated Christ Jesus. The extra power comes from the glorified man.

Can anyone tell us the difference between the glorified Elijah and the glorified Jesus Christ? The glorified Jesus Christ is the glorified Elijah with one more personality, the personality of Jesus of Nazareth, added to his spiritual lifetime. Can anyone tell us what would have stirred up the glorified Elijah to assist the spiritual males of Israel? What is it that stirs up the Lord to help anybody? Who does the Lord Jesus assist? The ones who reject Him? Or the ones who prefer Him?

<Myprecous> The ones who prefer Him

<LivingEM> Yes, the Lord Jesus Christ assists those who cry out to Him for help. So the spiritual males of Israel cried out for help when they perceived that, they, the spiritual males of Benjamin were overcoming them. Actually, this event occurred before Elijah's glorification. So it was Elohim who responded to the cries for help, not Elijah. When Elohim strengthened Adam in the spiritual males of Israel, the battle turned in their favor and they defeated the spiritual males of the tribe of Benjamin.

Can anyone tell us how defeat affected the spiritual males of Benjamin? Spiritually speaking, what happened to them? Did the fiery serpent continue in her ascended state? The spiritual males of Israel cast down the fiery serpent in the spiritual males of Benjamin, and where did she fall down from? And where did she fall down to?

<LAMB> Second energy center.

<Overcomer> brow to root

<LivingEM> The fiery serpent is cast down from the seventh energy center to the second energy center. This is another reason why the spiritual male who is fully ascended in Satan is stronger than the spiritual male in Christ Jesus. The fiery serpent ascends all the way up to the seventh energy center in a physical man, but the spiritual males in Christ Jesus ascend only to the brow center. What is the fiery serpent ascended into the seventh energy center called?

<LAMB> Leviathan

<LivingEM> The swine. The fiery serpent ascended into the seventh energy center becomes gluttonous, in her desire for spiritual food (energy), and is therefore called "the swine."

The fiery serpent is the spiritual potential of the individual, and when she is cast down into the second energy center, the personality becomes spiritually weak. For this reason, the spiritual males of Israel were concerned for their brethren, the spiritual males of Benjamin, that they should be defensed in the resurrected Adam and the Spirit of Elohim as soon as possible. And this brings us to verse 7 of Judges, Chapter 21.

Alternate Translation, Judges 21:6, And the children of Israel repented on behalf of their brother Benjamin saying, Leviathan, the counterfeit time line, is cut down and Israel is once again one tribe.

Judges 21:7 How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives? (KJV)

This is a very complicated verse to translate, so we will go slowly. The Hebrew word translated "how," Strong's #4100, should be translated "what." Can anyone tell us the spiritual significance of the word "what."?

<LAMB> Elohim

<LivingEM> Yes, Elohim. The Hebrew word translated "shall we do," in view of the context of the verse, can be translated "to provide." This is a very common Hebrew word which is generally translated, "to do" or "to make." Elohim shall do for us..., or Elohim shall provide for us....

The Hebrew word translated "for them," Strong's #3807a, is usually translated "toward," "until," "in order to," "for the purpose of," or "to belong to." The King James translators exercised legitimate translators license in translating Strong's #3807a "for them," but the translation is not accurate. We shall translate this Hebrew word, as we have done many times before, "to belong to." Elohim shall provide for the widowed wives that belong to him....

The Hebrew word translated "wives," Strong's #802, is preceded by the prefix "lamed," which means "widow." This word is also preceded by the prefix "nun," which means "fish." Elohim shall provide for the widowed wives of Leviathan, the Principal Fish.

The fiery serpent is the spiritual sexual organ of the personality and, accordingly, the personality, representing reason, should be ruling over the fiery serpent, the spiritual harlot that dwells in all of us. The personality should be male to the fiery serpent, her spiritual sex drive, but this is not the case in mortal man. The fiery serpent rules the personality of mortal man because she exercises Leviathan's authority.

Rev 13:12, And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. (KJV)

<LivingEM> So we see that female dominance in a society is a visible manifestation of the serpent exalting herself in the spiritual plane. I am not talking about women having a career, I am talking about the male-female relationship in marriage and in the family, the basic unit of human society.

As far as the church is concerned, there is no male or female in Christ Jesus, and therefore Christ Jesus rules whereever He is appearing, and in whatever body He is appearing. In the Church, Christ Jesus rules despite the physical body.

In the family, the physical male rules over all aspects of family life, but not over the spiritual life of his wife once she has a relationship with the household of God.

So Elohim shall provide for Leviathan's widowed wives... And who are the widowed wives? The personalities that Leviathan was married to through the fiery serpent, Leviathan's male organ in the earth of humanity.

The fiery serpents who were ascended and married to Leviathan had been dominating the personalities of the spiritual males of the tribe of Benjamin, but now that the fiery serpents were cast down into the second energy center, the personalities of the tribe of Benjamin were spiritually vulnerable. If Adam was not regenerated within them very quickly, Leviathan would reclaim them.

The significance here is that the personalities of the spiritual male of Benjamin had been under the influence of Satan to the degree that they could not recognize the regenerated Adam in order to prefer him, and just like any other abused person, when they were suddenly delivered from their abuser, they found themselves weak and in need of support. So the spiritual males of Israel prayed for their brothers, saying, surely Elohim shall provide for the widowed wives of Leviathan.

The Hebrew word translated "that remain," Strong's #3498, can also be translated "to preserve." So we see the spiritual males of Israel saying, Elohim will surely provide for, and preserve, Leviathan's widowed wives.....

The Hebrew word translated "seeing we," Strong's #587, merely means "we." The King James translators added in the English word "to see." this word can also be translated "us." The King James translation indicates that the spiritual males of Israel had sworn an oath to Jehovah, but there is a prefix before the Hebrew word translated "sworn," the Hebrew letter "nun," which means "fish," that is, Leviathan. So we see that Leviathan is the one who is swearing.

The prefix "beth," which means "household" appears before the Hebrew word translated "LORD," which means Jehovah. So we see that the Scripture is speaking about "the household of Jehovah," not Jehovah, per se. So we see that Leviathan has sworn that her daughters will not be given over as wives to Jehovah's household.

Can anyone tell us who Leviathan's daughter is? Who is Leviathan's seed in the earth?

<LAMB> Unmarried feiry serpent?

<LivingEM> Yes, the fiery serpent is Leviathan's daughter, Leviathan's seed in the earth of humanity. Does anyone know the name that Jesus uses to describe her?

<LAMB> worm that dieth not

<LivingEM> Yes, this is true. Jehovah called Jacob a worm also. The fiery serpent is the subconscious mind of mortal humanity, and the spiritual sex drive of the personality. Paul refers to refers to her as "our virgin," in 1 Cor 7:36. She is Leviathan's seed, or, Leviathan's daughter.

So we see that Leviathan is swearing that she will not let her daughters be given as wives to the household of Jehovah, and for this reason the spiritual males of Israel say, "surely Elohim will provide, or make a way, to preserve the personalities of the spiritual males of Benjamin" when Leviathan comes to strengthen the fiery serpents to rise up and dominate the personalities of the spiritual males of Benjamin again. You see, the spiritual males of Israel knew that the warfare was not over. They knew that Leviathan would strike back. Can anyone tell us the name of the spiritual weapon that fights for Leviathan? What is the name of Leviathan's dog?

<LAMB> Satan

<Myprecous> Satan

<LivingEM> Yes, Satan. So the spiritual males of Israel knew that Leviathan was coming with Satan, to rescue their children, the fiery serpents who had been forced into their proper female role, under the authority of the spiritual males of Benjamin who preferred the regenerated Adam over Leviathan.

There is one more Hebrew word that I will comment on. Strong's #5414, translated "we will give," can also be translated "to possess."

Alternate Translation, Judges 21:7, Leviathan has sworn that her daughters will not be given as wives to the household of Jehovah, [so] Elohim will provide for and preserve the widowed personalities that were married to Leviathan [but now] belong to Him.

<LivingEM> I did not work the Hebrew word translated "us" into the alternate translation, and now realize that it is not the spiritual males of Israel speaking, but the spiritual males of Benjamin saying, surely Elohim will provide for, and preserve us, because Leviathan has sworn that Jehovah's household will not possess her daughters as wives."

So we see that when their fiery serpents in the spiritual males of Benjamin were cast down, the spiritual males returned to their right mind and cried out to Elohim for help, which is proof that they preferred Leviathan only because of Satan's witchcraft.

And you, too, shall prefer me when the fiery serpent is cast down in you saith your God to the Church. Therefore, I send my sons to you, and you will despise them, and you will bite upon them with your spiritual teeth, as you did to Stephen, my faithful servant. But they will not die, but they shall prevail, for I have sent them to cast down the fiery serpent in you, and they shall do the job, says the Lord, because I AM has sent them. And the world shall see me, again. Amen

God bless you all.

Good night.
