Jude 14 Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying,
“Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, 15 to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
The name “Enoch” means dedicated and trained and refers to the Sons. How appropriate that the seventh from Adam prophesied about the Sons coming forth at the end of the Age. These are the ones who have been dedicated and are being trained to bring forth righteous judgment on the earth. Their assignment is to manifest the hope of glory for all mankind to see and respond. Paul speaks of this transformation in Philippians 3:
20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21 who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.
This transformation will not occur by our individual abilities but we are given the responsibility to present our bodies as Holy and acceptable, living sacrifices. Let HIS fiery Word consume us resulting in the death of the carnal nature. It is HIS power that will transform our lowly bodies, yet it is our decision to pursue the path of the “chosen”. Jesus told the rich young ruler to sell all, give to the poor, and follow Him. There is a cost associated with following the way into Sonship and most are unwilling to pay the price. We are called to Love FATHER and to Love our neighbor yet most are not even willing to walk in Love. If you fail to purse the full revelation of Love, how can you qualify to represent HIS Love to the rest of the world? Love isn’t just one attribute of HIS character as is wisdom, understanding, grace, and mercy. It is the source and intent that encompasses these other attributes. Don’t undervalue Love in your pursuit of HIS Character. If you do, you will not ascend into full maturity but instead will move toward frustration in dealing with others. Through Love, Jesus saw the potential of the ungodly who did not deserve mercy.
The number four represents all of creation and the angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth are given the task to withhold the fullness of judgment until the Sons are fully sealed. This global judgment is not for a full and final catastrophic event of a physical nature. Better yet it is for a cataclysm of a carnal nature. Millions and billions of people will die to the flesh in the end, and… they will live unto Christ! That my friend is extremely good news. The rivers of Living water will flow forth for the healing all of mankind. Those Living waters will flow down from the Kingdom of GOD WHO is in our spirit, those of us who are sealed among the 144,000:
Revelation 7:2 Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea,
3 saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”
4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed:
This group of Sons are HIS instruments to bring forth salvation unto the earth. The River of Life will flow through this Remnant, those who have been called before they were formed in the womb. They have been drawn to the revelation of their calling. The mere fact you are reading these words at this time may indicate you are being called. The question remains whether you will answer the call to be chosen or whether you will allow the things of this world to draw your focus away from the greatest opportunity being unveiled before our very eyes. You must set aside the apparent rigidity of the current system in place and understand that in an instant everything can and will change. Those who live along the coast of California are aware that at any time, a devastating earthquake could occur; not if, but when. I am fully persuaded that even a greater shaking will occur throughout the four corners of the earth and it will result in the final seal being placed on the foreheads of the 144,000.
This seventh seal is the Mind of Christ! The angel ascending from the east represents a new day has dawned for mankind and the current system will be blackened by the bright light of this day. This will be the day when equal weights and measures will truly be fulfilled by the balance of judgment versus grace and mercy. All the perversions of the current world will be exposed and “weighed” in the balance. Men will fall down in despair as their hearts are revealed and look up into the eyes of Love who will restore them to Our Heavenly Father. Yes there will be pain as the Word completes the surgery to remove the fleshly nature of man but in the end, the mass must be cut out so healing can begin. This will spread into the “healing of nations” spoken of in Revelation 22:2.
This group of 144,000 will have the anointing of priest, king, and judge. With this anointing they will discern the true nature of things and be able to judge righteously. The anointing of the king will enable them to rule in an appropriate, life-giving fashion. As an anointed priest, the Sons will walk in that unconditional Love, mercy, and compassion with the message of full restoration. The angel ascending in the east is the message of Christ arising into the fullness of a new day expressed in the Sons AND with the empowerment to walk in these three aspects of CHRIST’S anointing. This is the nature of Christ being sealed in us! This seal is the seal of THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY and represents HIS power and authority over all the earth and its inhabitants. This is given to those who will fully represent HIS Character of Love and the express image of HIS Son. This is not a seal of protection but one of qualification. The power sourced from Heaven needs no protection from the surrogate power of carnal men’s devices, plots, schemes, and systems.
This seal assures us of the having HIS wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and skill to carry out the mandate from Heaven. The name “Israel” represents a change of nature from “supplanter, deceiver, manipulator” to “Prince who has the power of GOD”. The twelve tribes of Israel point specifically to the naming and calling of the sons. The naming of the Sons represents the transition from chosen to being named as an inheritor with the qualifications being met. The new name represents the new nature. The self-nature has been eradicated and the new nature has been given to us by HIS Spirit, a true and complete transformation to glorification where the old things are passed away, behold all things have become new. The 144,000 is not a number, it represents a new nature, a fulfillment of the change of nature as demonstrated when Jacob saw the FACE of GOD and his nature was changed resulting in a name change. Full maturity is at hand!
