THE SOON FULFILLMENT OF THE BIRTHRIGHT MANDATE
1-06-2019
After
the creation of Adam and Eve, God issued two mandates: The Dominion Mandate and the Fruitfulness
Mandate. The first established Kingdom
Authority; the second established Kingdom Purpose, which was to "be
fruitful and multiply".
Genesis
1:28 NET God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful
and multiply! Fill the earth and subdue it! Rule over the fish of the sea and
the birds of the air and every creature that moves on the ground."
Although
most professing Christians have a general understanding of the Dominion Mandate
which was fulfilled with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ,
very few have any understanding of the Birthright Mandate. Most assume in a physical sense that it means
having children and cultivating crops much like the self-imposed Bible teacher
exerted below named Jacob Gerber.
At the beginning of the Bible, God both forms
and fills his creation. Then, God commands that his people carry forward
his work of creation through cultivating and keeping God’s creation.
This will mean that God’s people should raise up
more image bearers (through fruitful multiplication) who have plenty to eat
(through fruitful cultivation)
Although
the Mandate has a very limited relation to children and crops this is a small
amount of application. For instance the Gospel
of the Kingdom was initially presented to the Judeans and afterwards it was
significantly presented throughout the nations of the migrated descendants of
the ten northern tribes called Israel.
It was designed to generate saints/elect/overcomers as future
administrators of the Kingdom and nurtured only a very small number of chosen
individuals.
Also,
this population of European descendants migrated to North America to invent and
establish an amazing arsenal of crop machines:
planters, harvesters, land cultivation, fertilizer enhancements, and
refining mechanisms.
Although
the two above paragraphs are important to the world for its establishment of
the Church and plant harvesting features it will not be fulfilled until the
second appearance of Jesus Christ when the two Mandates will be combined into a
single entity. The first appearance of
Christ fulfilled the Dominion Mandate and the second appearance will fulfill
the Fruitfulness Mandate.
The
Mandate was given by God prior to the sin of Adam and Eve. If Adam had fulfilled the Mandate prior to
death and the ground being cursed because of sin he would have produced
children in his image and likeness--which in turn was the image and likeness of
God. Humans having the likeness of God
as Jesus foretold in the transfiguration is the fulfillment of the plan of God.
After
the sin of Adam and Eve the Birthright Mandate came to a temporary halt and
various difficulties were added to their lifestyle: labor pains were greatly increased; the woman
would desire to control her husband; the ground became cursed; growing crops
would be painful; thorns and thistles would arise; and everyone born would to
destined to sin and ultimately die to be returned to the ground from which they
were created.
Genesis
3:16-19 NET To the woman he said, "I will greatly increase
your labor pains; with pain you will give birth to children. You will want to
control your husband, but he will dominate you." (17) But to Adam he said,
"Because you obeyed your wife and ate from the tree about which I
commanded you, 'You must not eat from it,' cursed is the ground thanks to you;
in painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. (18) It will
produce thorns and thistles for you, but you will eat the grain of the field. (19)
By the sweat of your brow you will eat food until you return to the ground, for
out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you will return."
The
actual fulfillment of the Birthright (or Fruitfulness) Mandate would be delayed
until the second appearance of Jesus Christ.
Lesser fulfillments would and were accomplished by the people, but not
the Glorified nature of mankind. Because children were conceived and born after
Adam had lost the image of God through sin, mankind was only able to produce
children after Adam’s fallen likeness.
The
Sonship message that is more clearly set forth in the New Testament is actually
the fulfillment of this Fruitfulness Mandate which can be seen in John 1:12-13.
John
1:12-13 NET But to all who have received him -- those who believe
in his name -- he has given the right to become God's children (13) -- children
not born by human parents or by human desire or a husband's decision, but by
God.
Those
who believe in His name (i.e. what He represents along with His teachings) He
has given the right (not at that
moment but at His return) to become God's children.
Both
mandates must be combined at His return (i.e. the Millennial Kingdom of God) as
it was prior to the sin of Adam and Eve.
A King must have a Kingdom and the Dominion must have son-ship or
children of God. One aspect requires the
other for completeness.
Of
course, one must kind in mind that the sin of Adam and its consequences were
foreknown by God. The divine plan and
the opposition to the plan is the narrative sequence of the Bible. The scriptures contain many illustrations of
opposition and usurpation of the Divine Plan so that individuals would know how
to rule by the mind of God as well as how to come into the manifestation of the
Sons (or children) of God.
The
religious leaders of Jesus’ earth days temporarily stole the throne of the Kingdom
by executing the King. Today, the people
calling themselves Jews have attempted to steal the Birthright Mandate by
naming their country Israel. They have
also brainwashed the so-called Christian Zionists into believing there are actually
the congregated 12 tribes of Israel, which they are not.
Today
Judas has arisen again, but this time in the dispute over the birthright of
Joseph and the birthright name, Israel. Christian Zionists are the
modern Judas, thinking that they can force Jesus to return by igniting
Armageddon. They do not realize that you cannot fulfill prophecy by betraying
Jesus. Judas discovered this only too late, and he hanged himself
The
name “Israel” was given to Jacob by God when he (Jacob) finally realized that
God is in complete control and did not need the assistance of either Jacob or his
mother, Rebecca. Jacob passed the name “Israel”
to Joseph which was then passed down to Ephraim, the son of Joseph. No modern nation has the right to call itself
by the name of Israel.
No person
can attain the Birthright of Joseph and/or become a Child of God, unless that
person accepts Christ as the Birthright Holder in His second coming. Jesus
Christ is the one whose robe is dipped in blood.
Genesis
37:31 NET So they took Joseph's tunic, killed a young goat, and
dipped the tunic in the blood.
Revelation
19:13 NET He is dressed in clothing dipped in blood, and he is
called the Word of God.
The
manifestation of the glorified children of God is only the beginning of the
final outworking of the divine plan for the earth. That divine plan was set at
the beginning of creation. Much of the Church has no vision of this, thinking
that when the second coming of Christ occurs, virtually everything will come to
an end: i.e. Armageddon; the earth
burned up with fire; all life gone due to the misunderstood symbolism of the
Revelaton. They do not realize that Christ's second coming is only a new beginning,
one where the first-fruits will be manifested and later there will be universal
reconciliation.
Romans
8:19-21 NET For the creation eagerly waits for the revelation of
the sons of God. (20) For the creation was subjected to futility -- not
willingly but because of God who subjected it -- in hope (21) that the creation
itself will also be set free from the bondage of decay into the glorious
freedom of God's children.
In
the law of first-fruits, once the first-fruits are offered to God, then the
real harvest can begin. The overcomers
are the first-fruits of the harvest to come. The manifestation of the sons of
God represents the time when the first-fruits are offered to God, or are
presented to God as Sons. Once God has been presented the first-fruits, then it
is lawful for the others to begin harvesting their crop.
Metaphorically,
when God inspects the first fruit portion of the harvest, and when He finds it
"holy," then the rest of the field is deemed ready for harvest as it
was in the laws of God. Only then is the entire field acceptable to Him. This
is why the manifestation of the sons of God marks the beginning of a much
greater harvest of souls for the Kingdom of God.
The
First Resurrection will occur at the second coming of Christ and will be known
as “the first of the first-fruits” that will be presented to God. It
is the first presentation of the children of God, which is symbolized by barley
wave sheaf offering, which is the first-fruits offering that is presented to
God on the first Sunday after Passover. The Church calls it by its Babylonian
name, "Easter," named for the goddess Ishtar.
According
to Dr. Stephen Jones the order of coming events as prophesized by the feast
days are the following:
1. Feast of Trumpets: The resurrection of the
overcomers (i.e., "leaders of the people") occurs at the blowing of
a single trumpet (Num.
10:4; 1 Cor. 15:52; 1 Thess. 4:16).
2. Day of Atonement/Jubilee: The Church repents in
panic and fear for seeming to have missed "the rapture" as they have
been taught. The Church fulfills the Day of Atonement (mourning); the
overcomers fulfill the Jubilee (rejoicing).
3. The First day of Tabernacles: The overcomers are given
immortality, joining with the resurrected overcomers from past ages who were
raised two weeks earlier at Trumpets. This represents the New Birth of the
corporate New Man.
4. The Middle of Tabernacles: Christ comes to join the
Head with the Body of overcomers, in order to make this corporate body complete
and eligible to be presented to the Father. This pattern of Christ's coming in
the midst of the feast is found in John
7:14.
5. The Eighth Day of Tabernacles: The completed and
perfected body of overcomers (sons of God) are presented to God on the eighth
day according to the law (Ex.
22:29, 30).
