The City

God’s word keeps talking about a certain CITY.  So, what City is that?  I will show you in Scripture that the City is the Garden of Eden and perhaps even the world before Eden. The City is the kingdom of God;  not earth.  But now I am dealing with Eden.  I see no one who understands a thing about Eden, according to the Word of God.

The main reason for this lack of knowledge is refusing to study and see who or what the old serpent is.  Then the lack of knowing what the ‘people’ in Eden really were like.  The people are deceived into thinking that the Cherubs were or are angels.

The people, Adam and his kingdom, were those Cherubs.  The sons of God who were made in the likeness or image of God were NOT DUST PEOPLE.  God is not of dust.  So no one in HIS image could be of dust. 

When one looks into a mirror they see their own image.  Is it different from the self?  It is an exact likeness.  So, in order to be in God’s image one has to be an exact likeness.  This could not be a person made of the dust of the ground. 

So, let’s see what they were like:  Ezekiel 28:  12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

This perfect man was in Eden;  perfect when he was created:  could be  none other than Adam.  He was shining bright; covered in all kinds of beautiful stones and gold;  tabrets/pipes of music made right into him.  We have never ever seen anyone who is even near this description.  This was the Son of God who was made or created in the likeness or image of God.  If anyone ever becomes into the likeness or image of God again, they will be just like this first one.  No one on this earth today matches this description.  No one on this earth today is in the image of God. We are in the image of sinful man. Romans 8: 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

Jesus was in the likeness of sinful man.  So is everyone else on this earth today. 

I wrote several messages on the fall of the old testament from the Book of Lamentations.  I only saw this as being about the old testament law system, at that time.  But now I see that it is much deeper than that.  That was only a tiny type of the deeper truth.  This Book is actually dealing with the fall of Eden and those perfect Cherubs. 

In order to ever understand the secrets of Scripture you need to learn that Israel, Judah, Jerusalem and other such words are not speaking of what the world calls the earthly place/people.  They are just a tiny type to teach us God’s much deeper truth.  Those words refer to a people who were long before any dust people existed;  they were and are the Kingdom of God.  Israel is a heavenly being; not the earthly Jacob.  

Jerusalem is actually the City of God;  not the earthly place that men call Jerusalem.  So from this truth is what the word of God is actually about.

As long as you think of the Word of God as being about dust people and towns you are carnal minded and cannot receive the true Things of God. 

At the time of the flood God destroyed that vast golden city of Eden and sent those wicked men into another dimension of darkness.  They are spoken of all through Scripture but this has remained unknown until now.  Since the days of Paul this knowledge has perished from the people.   The main reason for the Book of Jude is to tell us about these wicked ‘men’ who have invaded our earthly world. 

Jude: 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

 Before of old refers to before the Food.  So these certain men who were able to creep in UNAWARES, are those same wicked spirits that perished in the flood.   They are also:  6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

And: 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

Wandering STARS?  SEE?  These are spirits from before the flood;  stars refer to the sons of God who rebelled against God.  They are the fallen angels.  They are spirits or demons who are able to get into our bodies and take over our minds unless we are filled with the Holy Ghost, which is the Spirit of Jesus Christ. 

If you can read all of this together;  read Lamentations with Jude and seek truth you can see this great mystery.  It will open up deep secrets of God to you.  These secrets have been hidden to people since the days of Paul but are now being revealed again. 

After the flood it was said they brought forth strange children.  These strange children are mentioned several times in the Word.  That is because they were totally different from their parents.  God has been changing them from generation to generation until we now see the last stage of those four worms. Now:

Jude 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

See that?  Going after strange flesh?  It is the same old thing as those fallen angels leaving their first estate and desiring to be like flesh folks. 

Lamentations 2  2 How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!

You can see here that God changed those people whom he called, Zion, and cast them down from heaven to the earth.  Covering them with a cloud means changing them to dust folks.  He did this in the children born after the flood.  These were the strange children.  They were strange to their parents because they had been changed into something entirely different.  But the change was gradual.  They were not dust to begin with.  That is the last stage of the changing.  But they were different from their parents.  Each new generation was different.  That is the four worms of Joel 1 .    It is also the four heads or beasts in Daniel.  

The first group was the gold head or the lion.  This was the cherubs in Eden. This was Adam’s kingdom.  He was that Lion.  Next came the bear kingdom.  These were the silver breast/arms. The Bear kingdom is Noah and those eight on the Ark.   The next or Leopard kingdom was the children of Shem, Jepeth and Ham and it also includes Abraham.    They did not have the gorgeous jewels covering them.  They had lost some of the original glory/power.  They were the people who said, Let us make us a name and a city for ourselves, that can reach to heaven   = getting back what Adam had lost.  

God scattered them over the earth and changed them again.  He gave them all a different language.  This broke that group’s power.  The next generation born were the dust people or us;  the wingless female of Joel 1.

Now I will show you the last change or punishment for their continued rebellion against God:  Lamentations 2: 2 The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to the ground: he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.

If you see this as only the earthly people called Judah you will miss the deep truth. This is what happened to the Leopard kingdom.

It matches this:  Isaiah 47: 47 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.  2 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.   3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man.

See how this is saying the same thing?  Sit on the GROUND.  It means that God now put them into a body of DUST. This last change came in the children of Jacob. 

5 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.   [see how this places them into darkness?  It is all the same words through all Scripture.]  This is Adam’s words;  and those after him also:  8 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:

Adam never thought he could be cast away and lose his power and glorious covering;  but he is now in a body of dust and powerless.  See here it proves this is talking about the one in Eze. 28:  Isa. 47: 10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.

This is Adam in his pride and self-glorying.   The lady of kingdoms was the kingdom of Adam in Eden. 

Lamentations 1   1 How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary!   [This is speaking of Adam’s kingdom or the City.  It was the original Jerusalem.]

3 Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.  [Judah here is Adam's kingdom.  They went into captivity…  held captive in this dust body.]

The rest of this chapter tells of the fall of Eden.  It also tells of the fall of the OT law system.  Their enemies are the Apostles of Jesus. 

All of chapter two tells of the NT ministers taking down that old system.

6 And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the Lord hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.

See that? His tabernacle as if it were of a GARDEN.  This is identifying the Garden of Eden.

See that HE despised the King which was Adam and the priest, which probably was Cain. 

Here is another reference to her being brought down to the ground or dust of the earth;  a dust body:  10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.

14 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.   [This is an important verse;  it shows that none of them could get to the cause of her being banished from Eden;  therefore they could not turn away the captivity.]

15 All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?   [the perfection of beauty?  See, this takes it right back to Adam and his perfect beauty.  No one else is said to have that perfection of beauty.

Chapter three is showing the fall of Adam at first.  Then it picks up with the suffering of Jesus.  Listen to this:  7 He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.

What chain is this speaking about?    Jude 6

And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

That is the chains that hold the rebels against God.  Angels/Adam.  But what are those chains?  That is the mystery.

Here We have another reference to this:  2 Peter 2:4

For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

See how the entire Word of God ties together and reveals these hidden truths.  This is why we must study to ever understand these great mysteries.

Here is another reference to these same chains:  Nahum 3:10

Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.  [These chains are their being changed and sent into other dimensions/lift-times or bodies, many times;  never being able to get out of their hell.  They are now in this world, with their weapons of war.  Chained in bodies of clay/black as a coal.  It is pure Scripture as proven in this message.]

This is still in chapter 3.  16 He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.  [This is Adam speaking:  he covered me with ashes.  THIS is the same thing as dust;  a body of dust for this once glorious being who was perfect in beauty.

This is both Adam and Jesus:  29 He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.

30 He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.

The last verses of this chapter speak of Eve and her suffering;  also it is about Jesus.  But due to the space I will not quote all of that here.  You truly should study this wonderful little Book.

Lam. 4: 4 How is the gold become dim! how is the most fine gold changed! the stones of the sanctuary are poured out in the top of every street.

2 The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!

The precious sons of Zion…  fine gold… Now esteemed as earthen pitchers or bodies.  Yes, God totally changed them into bodies of dust instead of fine gold.

Now for the final destruction/change:  7 Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:

8 Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.

It speaks for itself.  This is the final and total destruction of the beautiful cherubs in Eden.  11 The Lord hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof.

The very foundation of Adam’s gold kingdom was destroyed. 

Chapter five:  4 We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.   ..  [Here we see those descendants of Adam, the once very rich, now paying someone to preach to them;  yes, mark of the beast/church, which picked right back up on the sins of Adam].

Yes, they were placed under law:  5 Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.  [No rest to the sinners who try to have salvation by the works of the law and paying someone to feed them.]

We simply must take in the last words of this beautiful Book to end this great secret/message:

14 The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick.

15 The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.

16 The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!

17 For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.

18 Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.

19 Thou, O Lord, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.

20 Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?

21 Turn thou us unto thee, O Lord, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.

22 But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.

Compare this with Revelation 18 and you will see the same thing:  the end of Adam’s glorious kingdom;  the end of all the others, especially law under Moses:  but then the glory:  renew our days as of old?  No way.  Glory!  Thou hast utterly rejected us.  God will never set that old way back up again.   The New Kingdom of Jesus Christ will last forever.  Praise the Lord.
