(Part 2) Eze 31:2 Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness? Eze 31:3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs. Eze 31:4 The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field. [Jesus said every PLANT which my Heavenly Father did NOT plant will be rooted up. See, this speaks of the evil sons of Adam who will be taken up by their roots and cast into hell fire. They are TWICE Dead, plucked up by the ROOTS. This was first at the flood, then will be when God’s FIRE destroys this sinful kingdom forever! Adam, or Satan, planted these other plants.] Eze 31:5 Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth. Eze 31:6 All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations. Eze 31:7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters. (All nations dwell under the ‘shadow’ of Adam. All of them bring forth their children under his branches or his kingdom. He is our first father. He has sinned. Every nation is still under that stain of sin from Adam. He still rules over this entire earth. See, we all still make our ‘nests’ under his boughs or this human flesh) Eze 31:8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.31:9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him. Eze 31:10 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height; 31:11 I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.(He went out at the flood and then became under the heathen, or men of human flesh.) Eze 31:12 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him. Eze 31:13 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches Eze 31:14 To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit. (The strangers who cut him off is the Christians. We broke with his sins or boughs and left him. = first-man Adam, or our old nature. Jesus taught us not to lift one up above another, for EQUALITY is the heart of Christianity. This evil of exalting oneself is the sin of Adam, which we must abandon in order to serve the New World, Christianity. But notice also that the fowls and those known as beasts, remained upon his ruined kingdom or nature. They are the ones who ‘eat‘ Adam‘s flesh, or word. They cling to sin and lies.) Eze 31:15 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. (This is speaking of the great flood and the destruction of that kingdom of Adam in the Garden. That is the time Adam went down to the grave = his kingdom dying. See the ‘I restrained the floods and the great waters were stayed? This could only refer to that great flood at Noah’s time.) Eze 31:16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth. (This is prophecy of when we will put Satan into the pit and send him to hell. All that ‘drink water’ is the Christians who have the Holy Ghost or the river of life. We are comforted in this earth with the comforter, the Holy Ghost.) Making the nations to shake at the sound of his fall occurred several times. First at the flood, when that original glorious Kingdom of beautiful cherubs was destroyed. Then at the death and resurrection of Jesus, which caused the fall of the OT, or that law ruling over man. Then it will be finalized at the return of Jesus to cast that evil kingdom of sinful man into the lake of fire for eternal destruction. Eze 31:17 They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen. (Those slain with the sword are the ones Jesus destroys because of their continued disobedience. They continued to dwell under the shadow of Adam, their father the devil. They will also go to hell with their father, Adam.) Eze 31:18 To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.(This speaks of the sons of Adam who came up this side of the flood.) Now for proof that the disobedient are the ones slain by the sword: Isa 1:19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: Isa 1:20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. Read Isa. one. You will see it is speaking to the HEAD of those people. The entire kingdom was sick and sinful, so God destroyed them with the sword of his MOUTH. If you will study Eze. 27-32, you will see this laid out concerning these kings and how they show Satan, or Adam. Now when I say Adam, I do not just refer to one man- but to a whole race of people, with the man Adam as its head. Read in Daniel seven and you will see that the beast is the King and the Kingdom. That is what we are dealing with on these ‘heads’. In verse 2 above, see that it is typing Pharaoh unto the Assyrian, who was said to have been in the Garden of Eden. It calls the Assyrian a cedar in Lebanon. The cedar is a tree -- a tree in the Word types a kingdom. Lebanon is a type word for the Garden of Eden. If you read this closely you can see that Lebanon is used in place of the Garden in many Scriptures. So this tree is a kingdom. It was Adam’s kingdom. Verse 3 describes this ‘tree’ of the Assyrian as one of the main trees. It was of an high stature with his top among the thick boughs. This is showing the kingdom head of Adam. It was one of the greatest in that Garden. These waters are showing many people or beings who multiplied as God told Adam to do. Waters and rivers in the word show nations of people. So this is showing that there were many peoples in this Garden of Eden. Most people think there were just two people. This is total misunderstanding of the Word. This is also more proof that they did not leave that garden until the time of the flood, for they had multiplied into many, many people. Verses 5 -7 shows this kingdom in its greatness. Everyone was under this head. Verse 8 shows him to be the greatest one there. This is Adam or that first head of mankind. This is shown to be the most beautiful, perfect kingdom that there was. It is not speaking of sinless perfection, but rather in their very bodies. Verse nine shows all the different individual nations in Eden being jealous of Adam. This is what started all the rebellion. Adam, or that first group of glorious beings, became lifted up in pride because of their beauty, power, richness, and they desired to be set up in the seat of God himself. This is the sin of pride, which caused Adam’s downfall. Read Eze. 28 for a full description of this head’s beauty and power. They were in a body way above what we have today. ~~ Who is the ‘mysterious Tyrus’? ~~ Ezekiel 28:1. The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying, 2. Son of man, say unto the prince ofTyrus, Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God: 3. Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee: 4. With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures: 5. By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches: 6. Therefore thus saith the Lord God; because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God; 7. Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness. 8. They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas. 9. Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? But thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee. (See, this speaks of the Christians, strangers, who slay this evil outer man and cut him off. We do not allow this anti-Christ to sit in our temple and say he is God.) 10. Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. It will take a lot of study and different Scriptures to tie all of this together and show you what this is. But it will all tie together when we finish. You must learn that all Scripture is spiritual. Sure, it is written from a standpoint of natural people, or so it seems. But in reality it is all about God’s spiritual things. God used many natural men and their lives to show what really went on in the heavenly world. Until you see this, you will always miss the real, deep truth being taught in Scripture. In this Scripture God used a man named Tyrus to show what really went on in the heavenly world. Tyrus represents Adam, or the anointed cherub. There is solid proof of this. When you read what is really being said you will see that it would have to be speaking of Adam. Verse two shows what his sin was. He lifted himself up as God. He said, “I sit in the seat of God”, meaning He was in the place of authority as God himself. But in truth God has never placed anyone except Jesus in that place. Adam was usurping the authority of God. God had not placed him in that seat. See that he set his heart as the heart of God, yet God said to him, “you are just a man”. Verses 3-5 shows he was wise and went after riches. This is why the false church goes after riches - it is the spirit of their father Adam, Satan. The word said, Thy first father hath sinned. This is speaking of Adam, the first man Adam who is Satan. Verses 6 &7 speak of when the strangers (the Christians) will come against him and bring him down to the pit. See our swords coming against his beauty and defiling his wisdom is the Word of God coming out of our mouths against his evil. Satan (spirit of Adam) sits in the temple of God (our bodies) showing himself to be God. But Christians deny this flesh, and thus kill him. We walk in the Spirit, for we see that Adam, or flesh, is not God. We are not self-sufficient, and acknowledge our need for the true God. Verse 8--They shall bring thee down to the pit, (Rev. 20), and thou shalt die the DEATHS of them that are slain in the midst of the seas. Now see that this is DEATHS, plural. The seas, according to Revelation, is the masses of people on this earth. So if this mysterious Tyrus is dying the deaths of all these people, it shows he was IN them. He is in everyone except the true Christians. We had to cast him out of ourselves and let Jesus give us His Spirit, the Holy Ghost. So, whenever a sinner dies, it is Satan or first man Adam, or Tyrus dying. Everyone is a part of his kingdom except the true Christian, the strangers who come against him. See there are two trees, two kingdoms. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is this Tyrus, or Satan or Adam. They are all the same one. This tree is the same as the law. For by the law is the knowledge of sin. This one chose law. This is also why the OT. Covenant had to die so the NT. Covenant could live. Law had to die so Grace could live. They both cannot co-exist for they are opposites. The other tree, or kingdom, is the tree of life. This is Jesus, or second man Adam. It is the new man, which is the new heaven and new earth. So when Jesus said kingdom shall be against kingdom, he was speaking of these two kingdoms, the kingdom of Satan and the kingdom of Jesus. Everyone is in one or the other. It is the flesh against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh. Verse 9 shows he is just a man in the hand of those who slay him. Verse 10 shows that he dies in the hand of strangers. See the true Christian kills the ‘old’ man and renews his mind into the mind of Christ; thus letting the new man live. Christians, this is our warfare = killing this first man Adam, this Tyrus, this Satan out of ourselves and letting the new man, Jesus live in our temple. Get busy. Kill Adam out. Kill this Tyrus out of your temple and you can be renewed in the mind of Christ to have eternal life. Now I was thinking last night about all these things and how God was showing me all of the idol holidays and all the law things were brought in by Adam as worship to Adam. And I thought that all of the lights men put up at X-mess time must somehow link to Adam. Just as soon as I thought it, God brought this to my mind: Eze 28:7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness. See the brightness is typed by all the X-mess lights. It is truly defilement. See also that in this chapter it reveals that riches, gold and silver and such, were the things Adam went after and is noted for. So when you see churches setting up rich, lavish buildings, large bank accounts, and going after riches, teaching a prosperity message, then know that they are worshipping old Adam. This is his trademark. In my message, When God remembers your sins, I showed with the Word how that if God mentions your sins against you, you are lost. I showed how Adam had started out as a holy, righteous person, perfect in all his ways, UNTIL iniquity was found in him. I showed in Eze how God said that if a righteous person turns from their righteousness unto wickedness, and stays there, he will be cut off and lost. This is what Adam did. He never repented, for his righteousness is never mentioned; only his sins are named. The reason Adam did these things was to rule over others and thus be worshipped. When you see the so-called ‘manger scenes’ it is not of Mary, Joseph and Jesus. It is Adam, Eve and Cain. God has never called for any such evil mess in worship to HIM, so it has to be dust worship to Adam. Adam set up this silly mess as worship to himself. They were enslaving people. So today it is still the same thing, the rich merchants, [Adam’s mark] are enslaving you into spending all this money and going to all this labour of setting up your lights, idols, and gift-giving. See then that it is proven to be devil worship as I have said for many years. God said we could only worship him by the things which He commanded us. So if God never commanded a thing, then it is of Adam, the Devil. God said he never commanded animal sacrifices, burning incense, offering oblations, or such. So it was brought up by Adam, the Devil. If God never commanded birthday celebrations for his son, then it is of the Devil. It cannot be worship to God and the true Son, Jesus. It is worship to the disobedient son, Adam. I found some things on research proving that the Dec. 24 party stuff is done in worship to a thing called the Feast of Adam and Eve. All my previous studies set the beginning of these things with Nimrod and his wife. But I suspected for a long time that it came from the other side of the flood. God was showing me these things. Now he is bringing the proof of it all to light. Nothing is new this side of the flood. It all existed over there. Since this is the true nature of the whorish Adam, or lion kingdom, then it is the very same nature the other ‘beast’ kingdoms had. They are all the same. So what is true of one is true of the other three kingdoms of the beast. Only the one true Kingdom of Jesus Christ has ever accepted deliverance from these evils, which God hates. We cling to grace. We do not return to the works of the law, which is that tree of death. It is Death and Hell riding that fourth BEAST or horse. We do not worship idols. Now all of the above few paragraphs were copied from my message, “Adam God of this world”. The reason I placed all of that here before beginning of this second head is to show you that all of the animal sacrifices and other things of law stemmed from man-worship. Adam instigated all of these things to lift himself up as God. He built up a great and rich society of people worshipping him. God brought this to an end with that flood, for God hated this kind of world. But I will show you how Noah reverted right back to that same old sinful, rebellious method of life. Now let’s study some more on Tyrus. Ezekiel 28: 1. Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 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. 16. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 18. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 19. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. In these verses is full proof that this mysterious ‘Tyrus’ is Adam, which is Satan. Verse 11 proves this is the Word of the Lord. Verse 13 tells that this person had been in Eden, the garden of God. IF you check the description in Revelation of the Holy City, you can see that it also include all these beautiful ‘stones’. Peter said we are lively STONES in the kingdom of God. Jesus told Peter he was a stone. So, see this is a description of a kingdom made up of lovely people = stones. It is a full kingdom. It is the first head: Adam is the king over this kingdom. Verse 14--shows that this being was an anointed cherub; a covering. There are two coverings taught in the Word - Jesus’ spirit and Satan’s spirit. It is the two covenants, law and grace. So this covering has to be one of them. Isaiah taught about a covering which was not sufficient = too short and narrow for one to cover with. That is this first man Adam. His spirit will not bring you a covering which will give salvation. [Under that sixth seal, everyone had to choose which covering they would go under: see, they either cried to the rocks and mountains = the apostles, or they ran to the dens and caves for a protection against God’s wrath. Those dens and caves are the present churches, the ones who retain that old Adam spirit for a covering. This covering will NOT protect one against the wrath to come. It is the insufficient covering of that first anointed cherub, Adam.] See also, that this verse said he had been upon the holy mountain of God and walked among those STONES of fire.V15--He was perfect when he was created, till iniquity was found in him. This is none other than Adam. Now read verse 16 very carefully. This is your proof. God cast him out of the mountain of God and destroyed him from the midst of those stones of fire. In other words, God drove him out of Eden. V 17--I will cast thee to the ground. Isaiah 47:1--Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of BABYLON, sit on the GROUND. (This was fulfilled when God cast them out of Eden at the flood. Thus dust, or the ground was all that Adam could ever have now. He is strictly CARNAL.) Isaiah 14 --speaks of the king of Babylon; called him the oppressor, the golden city ceasing. This is Satan’s kingdom, Babylon. Adam is the head of it, the king. v12--How are thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer SON OF THE MORNING. How are thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! This took place at the flood. That is when his kingdom fell from the heaven of Eden. See, the being put into DUST, the ground. Dust is the SERPENT’S meat. He was put into dust, the ground, he was put into a body of dirt. He was made to go upon his ‘belly’. This means he was weakened, brought down off his lofty ‘seat’. He was made to work for a living, he was placed in a body of weakness = dust. He is first man Adam, the SERPENT. Jesus called the Pharisees SERPENTS, said they were of their father, the DEVIL. Who was this? Adam. Read verse 13 (still in Isaiah 14)--For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: v14--I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will BE LIKE THE MOST HIGH. See? That same desire to be God. This is proud Adam. After he was brought down to the ground, he is determined to ascend back up to heaven. You will see this desire being carried out in the Third Kingdom. v15--Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. This matches Revelation, that he will be put into the pit. Read this chapter. v21--shows he had children to be slaughtered for the iniquity of their fathers. v25 calls him the Assyrian, the one said to have been in the Garden of God. How much more proof would one need? Now back to Eze. 28. v18--I will bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, and bring thee to ASHES .... Ashes thou art. Out of the dust wast thou made, to dust shalt thou return. Dust is the serpent’s meat. Come down and sit in the dust; sit on the ground. That is where God placed these once beautiful, gorgeous Sons of God. You can read it in Lamentation, how God cast the beauty of his Sons to the ground and changed their entire appearance. [ Now this is NOT speaking of foolish mess as William Branham taught....that God took a man-like animal and changed him into a reptile snake! Such foolish, carnal junk! He even claimed that his legs and hips went off him. Where is any Scripture for this junk? Why did so many people just accept this junk with not one word of proof in the Scripture? Yet when I prove this real TRUTH with the Written Word, these same people will scorn it and spit on it! Woe unto you!] It is speaking of changing the immortal God-like Adams into a mortal, dust creature! We have never seen the glorified beauty Adam and Eve and that entire kingdom had on the other side of that flood. God almost never brings his prophesied punishment in the actual life-time of his son. See that he would wait and do it in the next generation. This is what took place with Adam. God pronounced his punishment then, but did not bring it upon them until the time of the flood. See God is merciful! He always gives man plenty of warning and time to repent and escape the evil. But when man goes on in his arrogance and refuses to repent and keeps on sinning, then God brings his judgment upon them. This kingdom of the first head had deteriorated and become so violent that God brought destruction to the entire kingdom. V19 speaks of the final destruction of this kingdom of Satan, Adam, which is Babylon. By: Jo Smith |
