COMMENTARY:
When I saw that Pisgah meant cleft I reflected to what the Lord showed me concerning Ex 33:18-23.
"And he said I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. And He said I will make all my goodness pass before thee: and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will
shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. And He said, Thou canst not see my face; for there shall no man see me, and live. And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock; And it shall come to pass while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by; And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts; but my face shall not be seen."
The Lord revealed to me that when He showed Moses His "back parts" He was giving him the revelation that the Lord spoke creation into existence, at least from Gen 1:1 to the creation of man. Before that, it wasn’t known. There might be an argument that God told Adam and he passed it down the generations, but there’s no evidence of that.
MOSES’ DAY OF GLORY
If you ask anyone to show their glory, they would speak of their past accomplishments. So the Lord revealed to him the glory of His past accomplishments. Now concerning Moses’ last day: Just as the Lord showed Moses His back side, The Lord through scripture shows us Moses’ past glory. For he was of the Father and a great
Prophet of the cleft ( the revelation received from the cleft ) whose face is observing its moon, his house, his church. ( Heb, 3:5 “And Moses verily was faithful in all his
house…“). Then He shows Moses what his church is entering into, which is a rocky region that leads to a judge causing wrestling that leads to the church ending up as a double ash heap. But fret not, for Isaiah 61:6,7 states:
"But ye shall be named the Priests of the Lord of our God; ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves. For your shame ye shall have
double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion; therefore in their land they shall possess the double; everlasting joy shall be unto them."
The church is divided into the two kingdoms which becomes the two ash heaps. Isaiah prophesies that for their shame the church will proclaim, " I shall be doubly fruitful", causing to forget, extending praise unto the utmost sea,( Heb 7:25, “Where he is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God…“)
This is awesome, for just as the Lord showed Moses His glory of His back parts, the Lord is now showing Moses His glory of His front parts ( His face ) and revealing to him the “restoration of all things”. For God’s mercy endures forever and He is able to save to the uttermost! In doing this, God completes the answer to Moses’ prayer “I beseech thee, show me thy glory” which took his breath from him, for no man can see His face and live. Deut. 34:7 says, Moses’ eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. It’s the same with us, God’s glory kills the old man in us, removing its nature as he makes all things new with His glory. 1Cor 13:12,” For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face; now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” Moses also sees in the southland of Jericho ( his church ) a city. This is a city of excitement with anguish of terror of the palm trees ( representing tabernacles ) which is unto Zoar or insignificance .
Obadiah 18-21
"And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there
shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the Lord hath spoken it. And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the plain the Philistines; and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria; Benjamin shall possess Gilead. And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in MOSES’ DAY OF GLORY. Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south. And saviors shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s."
This might be the heap of ashes ( being insignificant ) leftover from the alter of our sanctification, after everything is purified, represented by Gehenna which is ‘south’ of Jerusalem, spoken of in Mark chapter 9. This becomes the end of all that is a lie, all things contrary to truth, including the strong delusion which cause the mind of the carnal man to be reprobate.
