The One Pattern - Part 1. ![]()
THE GARDEN, THE TABERNACLE, THE TEMPLE, AND THE CITY I am still teaching on the oneness of God. Everything was spoken into existence in the beginning according to the plan of God. God gave this pattern in Genesis. In this plan of God there was a pattern that God established unto the saints, that pattern has never changed. If you change this pattern one fraction from God's divine plan. God's glory or spirit will be removed from your temple.
There are many big church buildings where God's glory will never dwell. Those church people have altered the pattern of their temple from the pattern that God has set forth. They have built Herod's temple and made it a den of thieves. They also are rejected of Jesus and rebuked by him.
There are many churches that do not study the Old Testament. They fill they can understand the New Testament without understanding the Old Testament. They say teaching salvation alone is the most important thing. They forget growth must occur after salvation or else there is a death. They forget about the Hebrews being reprimanded for being on milk. (Heb 5:12 KJV) For when for THE TIME YE OUGHT TO BE TEACHERS, YE HAVE NEED THAT ONE TEACH YOU AGAIN which be the FIRST PRINCIPLES OF THE ORACLES OF GOD; and ARE BECOME SUCH AS HAVE NEED OF MILK, and NOT OF STRONG MEAT. (Heb 5:13 KJV) For EVERY ONE THAT USETH MILK IS UNSKILLFUL in the WORD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS: for HE IS A BABE.
The Old Testament is the foundation for the new. The true apostles, prophets, and evangelists, pastors and teachers are for the perfecting of the saints. The same doctrine of repentance, baptism, laying on of hands, the resurrection, and etc., etc. never allows the babes to have meat and to grow. The scriptures of old, the law and the prophets, are for our learning. (Rom 15:4 KJV) For whatsoever things WERE WRITTEN AFORETIME WERE WRITTEN FOR OUR LEARNING, that we through PATIENCE and COMFORT of the SCRIPTURES might have hope.
We are Jews, the Israel of God. We need to know the first oracles of God. The one pattern of God, set forth from the beginning, so that we can pitch the spiritual tabernacle and become the image of Jesus Christ. If we know the one pattern of God no one can change the word. The word will always line up with the pattern. (Eph 2:20 KJV) And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone.
Why was the natural creation of man given unto the saints? Without the book of Genesis there would be no record of creation, natural or spiritual. By God giving the natural creation to the saints, they being spiritual, would see the spiritual pattern, and creation of God. Genesis is the spoken word of God unto the church in the beginning. The spiritual creation must come out of the natural creation according to God's plan.
Everyone is trying to figure out whom God was talking to when they read this verse. (Gen 1:26 KJV) And God said, Let US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE, after OUR LIKENESS: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. The Trinitarians try to use this verse to prove there are three Gods. The oneness being ignorant to the pattern and purpose of this book, Genesis, has missed the mark in this area. People do not know it is speaking to the church. Very few start with Genesis and see it's spiritual purpose. With the first book written prophecy, understanding, and wisdom unto the church has been the most important things.
You are the one reading Genesis, who is it speaking to? This book is written unto the church, not unto carnal minds. Genesis contains the pattern of God in the beginning. God wants man made in the likeness of him, through us, the church. The first words of this book were given divinely unto Moses to give unto Israel the church. The one pattern from the beginning to the end was given to Moses. In that pattern of the garden and tabernacle God told Moses, and us, to create man in his image. We are to do this according to the pattern given unto the church, through the word. God has always spoken unto the body, to us.
Notice the Lord's Prayer. God talks to us in the plural, we are many members of the one body. (Mat 6:9 KJV) After this manner therefore pray ye: OUR Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. (Mat 6:10 KJV) Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. (Mat 6:11 KJV) Give US this day OUR daily bread. (Mat 6:12 KJV) And forgive US OUR debts, AS WE forgive OUR debtors. (Mat 6:13 KJV) And LEAD US not into temptation, but deliver US from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
God created Jesus, and us, in his image, through the pattern that he gave Moses in the beginning. The scriptures testify of Jesus. Through this same pattern you become the image of Jesus Christ. (Rom 8:29 KJV) For whom he DID FOREKNOW, he also did predestinate to be CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON, that he might be the FIRSTBORN among many brethren. We become the image of God through the pattern.
You must come into the garden, the body of Christ Jesus, and the church where Jesus is the tree of life, and dwells in the midst, among his people. The body, the church, or we become the image of Jesus Christ.
When you read about the creation of the garden of God you are reading about the pattern and the creation of the church. You are reading about the creation of man in God's image. All scriptures are profitable for the edification of the body. (2 Tim 3:16 KJV) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
God gave Moses this pattern in the mountain of Sinai. This natural pattern reveals the spiritual creation of God. Jesus Christ through the church creates men in his own image, only when they hear his voice. Do you have ears to hear his voice?
With the first words that were written in the Holy word God spoke unto the bride. In the beginning was the word and we are there in the beginning, the garden, with him. We understand the spiritual creation that God wants the church to understand, through him, that is, that was there, and that is to come. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forevermore.
In a vision I was around the throne of God. I was in the spirit and the spirit took me up, and brought me into the spiritual realm. I will never be able to explain or express the feeling of love that I felt.
God revealed unto me that the four beasts that were around the throne were the saints of God. It was the seers that were full of eyes, the church, with Jesus on the throne in the midst of his people. The cherubim's are what we are in the spiritual realm, solid gold in the eyes of God after our purging.
For years I wondered why God started me out within the Holiest of all and brought me outwards. It was not until of late that the answer was given unto me. God when giving his pattern unto Moses started with the pattern of the Holiest of all, first. Then God gave the pattern coming outwardly. When God started Ezekiel out, with the vision by the river of Chebar, God started with the cherubim's in the Holiest of all and came outwardly. When God gave Ezekiel the pattern to the spiritual tabernacle that was set in heaven, in the forty-third chapter of Ezekiel, it was as the vision by the river of Chebar. Again God started with his throne and came outwardly. (Ezek 43:7 KJV) And he said unto me, Son of man, THE PLACE OF MY THRONE, and the PLACE OF THE SOLES OF MY FEET, where I WILL DWELL IN THE MIDST OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FOR EVER, and MY HOLY NAME, SHALL THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL NO MORE DEFILE, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcasses of their kings in their high places.
In the tabernacle that is made without hands, us, God starts on the inside and comes outwardly. The first thing that God must establish in us is his throne by becoming our king. After this he dwells in the midst of us and writes his Holy name upon us, we no longer defile the house of the Holy Living God, Jesus our Lord.
In order to understand the Revelation of Jesus Christ and how the kingdom of God is structured, we must understand the one pattern of God. The tabernacle is a natural structure of the spiritual pattern of the heavenly sanctuary. I can find no other topic that is talked about more in the word than the tabernacle. There is no way that one can understand the spiritual message of Hebrews without understanding this one pattern of Jesus Christ. It still is and always will be the schoolmaster that will bring us to the fullness of the understanding of the Revelation of Jesus our Messiah. That is why it is the most discussed topic in the word.
The spirit, through the understanding of the tabernacle, reveals the spiritual dwelling place of God almighty and the church. The law, the prophets, and the natural house were until Jesus. Then the law, which was spiritual, was fulfilled in Jesus, the temple made without hands. Jesus was a manifestation of the spiritual law made flesh. A spiritual tabernacle that would only glorify God. Through him the earthly became heavenly. By being in him we are part of this same temple, being his body. (1 Cor 2:9 KJV) But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. (1 Cor 2:10 KJV) But GOD HATH REVEALED THEM UNTO US BY HIS SPIRIT: for the SPIRIT SEARCHETH ALL THINGS, YEA, the DEEP THINGS OF GOD.
When teaching the Apostles, Jesus started with the law and the prophets. Jesus gave revelation of himself unto them through Moses and the law. Too many are trying to teach the kingdom of God and are totally ignorant to the one pattern of God. (Luke 24:27 KJV) And BEGINNING AT MOSES and ALL THE PROPHETS, he EXPOUNDED unto them in ALL THE SCRIPTURES the THINGS CONCERNING HIMSELF. (John 1:45 KJV) Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom MOSES IN THE LAW, and THE PROPHETS, DID WRITE, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
The Garden of Eden was known as the Garden of God. The pattern of this Garden is common to the lay out of the tabernacle that was used in the wilderness by the children of Israel. It is important to know that God established his plan or pattern in the beginning and never has strayed from that pattern. We are going to see that the lay out of the Garden of Eden, the Tabernacle, Solomon's Temple, and the City, in the book of Revelation, is of the same pattern.
GARDEN OF EDEN PATTERN 1. Fence Of Separation
2. Tree Of Life - Life
3. Tree Of Knowledge (word of good and evil)
4. Commandment Of God (LAW)
5. River Of Life - Well Of Waters
6. Fruit Trees
7. God's Fellowship With Man
8 . Living Creatures (cattle (OX), fowls (EAGLE), beast (LION), and (MAN)
9. Cherubim's
10. One Entrance From The East
11. The Stones Or Jewels
12. Death Without The Gate - (Gen 2:17 KJV) But of the tree of the KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, thou shalt not eat of it: for IN THE DAY that thou eatest thereof thou SHALT SURELY DIE.
Man was in paradise the garden of God or heaven. When Jesus told the thief that he would be with him in paradise the meaning is, an EDEN (PLACE OF FUTURE HAPPINESS. Man had fellowship and communion with God being in his favor.
Think about this garden that was planted by God. The beauty and splendor of that garden would have been magnificent beyond the hanging gardens of Babylon that was declared one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
Look at how the old man spirit tries to parallel God's work. According to history, King Nebuchadnezzar II, about 600 BC, made this hanging garden for his Midian wife. A magnificent garden that cannot come close to the garden and the city that God has made for the church, his wife. In the spiritual man tries to take on the beauty of the bride, but will always remain Babylon. Babylon always has and always will try to equal New Jerusalem.
God made a garden in the east of Eden and there God placed man. As the tabernacle was separated by a fence so was the garden. (Gen 2:8 KJV) And the LORD God PLANTED A GARDEN EASTWARD IN EDEN; and there he put the MAN WHOM HE HAD FORMED. The first thing that God did was to separate the garden from the rest of Eden. God separated Adam from the earth and placed him in the garden. Adam was separated from the earth and robed in the righteousness of God. We must be separated from this world and clothed in the righteousness of God.
Adam did not know that he was naked. Adam was separated from sin knowing no evil. Adam broke the law and was cast without the hedge. The serpent bit Adam. (Eccl 10:8 KJV) He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso BREAKETH AN HEDGE, A SERPENT SHALL BITE HIM.
We, the church, have a hedge around us. God has planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it for our protection. We are not as the carnal house of Israel that brought forth wild grapes. (Isa 5:1 KJV) Now will I sing to my well beloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My well beloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: (Isa 5:2 KJV) And he FENCED IT, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. (Isa 5:3 KJV) And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard. (Isa 5:4 KJV) What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes? (Isa 5:5 KJV) And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will TAKE AWAY THE HEDGE thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
This Garden of Eden was hedged and had but one entrance toward the east. This is a common trait to the tabernacle of Moses and to the holiest of all. There were cherubim's at the entrance of the garden as there was cherubim's upon the curtains in the tabernacle. Cherubim's were also at the entrance of the oracle in King Solomon's temple. (Exo 26:1 KJV) Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with TEN CURTAINS OF FINE TWINED LINEN, and BLUE, and PURPLE, and SCARLET: WITH CHERUBIM'S OF CUNNING WORK shalt thou make them. (1 Ki 6:34 KJV) And the TWO DOORS were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding. (1 Ki 6:35 KJV) And HE CARVED THEREON CHERUBIM'S and PALM TREES and OPEN FLOWERS: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work.
The cherubim's took on the same pattern as the living creatures that Adam named. He named the cattle (OX) fowls (EAGLE) beast (LION) and he was the FIRST (MAN). (Gen 2:20 KJV) And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. The cherubim's had the head of an ox, eagle, lion, and a man. (Ezek 1:10 KJV) As for the LIKENESS OF THEIR FACES, they four had the FACE OF A MAN, and THE FACE OF A LION, on the right side: and they four had the FACE OF AN OX on the left side; they four also had the FACE OF AN EAGLE. The cherubim's in the temple of Solomon were made up of two olive trees representing the two witnesses and saints of God.
Everything that God created in the natural was a pattern that would reveal the spiritual depths of knowledge that God wants man to know. As God made all living creatures in the natural and outside of God there is no life in the natural. God made the spiritual creatures or the saints. Outside of Christ there is no spiritual recognition of life by God. (Gen 2:19 KJV) And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called EVERY LIVING CREATURE, that was the name thereof. (Ezek 1:5 KJV) Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of FOUR LIVING CREATURES. And this was their appearance; they had the LIKENESS OF A MAN.
As Adam gave Eve her name and called her Eve; because she was the mother of all living in the natural, Jesus has given the church her name. We are called by his name and give true life unto all spiritual living creatures. (2 Chr 7:14 KJV) If my people, WHICH ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (Rev 22:4 KJV) And THEY SHALL SEE HIS FACE; and HIS NAME SHALL BE IN THEIR FOREHEADS. His name is in our frontlets between our eyes. That blessed name that we are called by is the name of Jesus. We take on Jesus name when we are married to him in baptism. (Rev 22:4 KJV) And they shall see his face; and HIS NAME SHALL BE IN THEIR FOREHEADS.
There were living waters in the Garden of Eden that started from a well. This was a deep fountain of living water and the same river that flows from the throne in the book of Revelation is that river of life. (Gen 2:10 KJV) And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. (Rev 22:2 KJV) In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Many wonder about the Garden of Eden and where it went. I believe the Garden of Eden never has ceased from existing. Many of the saints that arose with Jesus I believe are there. We know that the tree of life was stated as being in the garden and we also know that the tree of knowledge was there. We know these trees still exist.
Jesus is the tree of life. Adam and Eve could not eat of that tree and drink his blood. The cross-had not happened yet. Remission of sins must take place before we can eat from the tree of life. If not then sin would become part of Christ's body. If Adam had eaten of the tree then the tree of life would have become a tree of good and evil. Only saints that have been covered by the blood of Jesus and had their sins remitted can eat of the tree of life.
Before we can be partakers of that which is spiritual, LAW, we must be covered by the blood. Because of Jesus' blood we have mercy on others as Jesus had mercy on us. Through the law being fulfilled in us we become spiritual. Therefore we have mercy and give righteous judgment. (1 Cor 2:15 KJV) But HE THAT IS SPIRITUAL judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. These are the things that the Pharisees overlooked. (Mat 23:23 KJV) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, JUDGMENT, MERCY, and FAITH: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
The tree of knowledge you can compare with the LAW. All knowledge and wisdom of what is good or what is evil comes from God. Where the LAW of God is there is knowledge of good and evil. Where there is no law there is no sin. (Rom 4:15 KJV) Because the law worketh wrath: for where NO LAW IS, there is NO TRANSGRESSION.
People that eat of the tree of life (JESUS) eat the flesh and drink the blood of Jesus. They eat from the table of the Lord. This means that the law, which is spiritual, is fulfilled in the saints. There is no more remembrance of sin. Our conscience is clean and we dwell in Christ. (Heb 10:2 KJV) For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers ONCE PURGED should have had NO MORE CONSCIENCE OF SINS. (Heb 10:3 KJV) But in those sacrifices there is A REMEMBRANCE again made of sins every year. We have been purged by the blood of Jesus and all past sins are forgotten by God once and forever. (Heb 10:17 KJV) And their sins and iniquities will I REMEMBER NO MORE.
People who eat of the tree of knowledge, of good and evil, or the law, being carnal and not spiritual are slain by it. We must be born again and have our sins remitted by the blood of Jesus. They are slain by the law being dead outside of Christ Jesus. They are dead while they walk upon their feet. Life only dwells in Christ Jesus the Messiah. If a man that is carnal tries to eat that which is spiritual, the law, it will slay him and he will die in his sins. A man that eats of the tree of knowledge or table of God, not being sincere, drinks only damnation and death to himself. (1 Cor 11:27 KJV) Wherefore whosoever SHALL EAT THIS BREAD, AND DRINK THIS CUP OF THE LORD, UNWORTHILY, shall be GUILTY OF THE BODY and BLOOD OF THE LORD. (1 Cor 11:29 KJV) For he that EATETH and DRINKETH UNWORTHILY, EATETH and DRINKETH DAMNATION TO HIMSELF, not discerning the Lord's body. (1 Cor 10:21 KJV) Ye CANNOT DRINK THE CUP OF THE LORD, and the CUP OF DEVILS: ye cannot be PARTAKERS OF THE LORD'S TABLE, and of the TABLE OF DEVILS.
We must remember the natural is always first. The first Adam was of this earth, and earthly. The first Adam was made subject to vanity. The first Adam was made a living soul the second Adam, Jesus and us, are made a quickening spirit. We must quit being a living soul and become a quickening spirit. We do this by becoming one with Jesus in his body. The first Adam, living soul, that is earthly must die and be covered by the blood of Jesus and become a quickening spirit. We can be a living soul outside of Christ, but when we are quickened, through his spirit, we become alive in the spiritual body of Jesus. (Rom 8:11 KJV) But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
The first Adam had a mind that thought about himself and what appealed to his senses. Jesus was God manifested in the flesh, who was the image of God. Jesus placed himself last making himself servant of all. (1 Cor 15:46 KJV) Howbeit that WAS NOT FIRST WHICH IS SPIRITUAL, but THAT WHICH IS NATURAL; and AFTERWARD THAT WHICH IS SPIRITUAL. (1 Cor 15:45 KJV) And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made A QUICKENING SPIRIT. (1 Cor 15:47 KJV) The FIRST MAN IS OF THE EARTH, EARTHY: the SECOND MAN is the Lord from heaven.
Carnal people try to eat from both tables seeking to soothe their conscience. Through head knowledge they try to serve God in their own righteous way. These people try to understand the law without eating of the tree of life first. Carnal head knowledge is of the first Adam, the law is spiritual. We must eat of the tree of life first and become spiritual. Then we can eat the law and fulfill it. Otherwise the law will damn us. Beasts try to establish their own pattern believing that God will accept it. They are a tree of good and evil which God will not accept seeing them only as evil.
God does not look through the eyes of man. We see good and evil in some people, and because of this say that they are trees of good and evil. God only sees a good tree, or an evil tree. There is no tree of good and evil in the eyes of God. (Mat 12:33 KJV) Either MAKE THE TREE GOOD, and HIS FRUIT GOOD; or else MAKE THE TREE CORRUPT, and HIS FRUIT CORRUPT: for the TREE IS KNOWN BY HIS FRUIT. (Mat 7:18 KJV) A GOOD TREE cannot bring FORTH EVIL FRUIT, neither can a CORRUPT TREE bring forth GOOD FRUIT. No man can fulfill or keep the law in the flesh. No man that is in the flesh can have power over the five senses of the old man.
Without the commandment or the law for man not to eat of the tree of knowledge, sin would never have had an occasion to have deceived Eve and to have slain her. Sin was dead without the commandment but when good and evil was revealed sin revived. Satan was a liar from the beginning. Satan never could have had an occasion to temp Eve without a commandment. And the commandment, which was ordained to life, Eve found to be unto death.
The commandments of God are spiritual and go against the carnal nature, which is in man. The law is spiritual but the old man is of the earth, earthly. Until I was told I should not do certain things there was no fleshly temptation. If I did do evil having no knowledge of evil there was no condemnation or sin. I had no knowledge of the law. Without knowledge of the law there can be no righteous judgment given. That is why the laws of God are still in our judicial system for the unjust. The ones who do not believe in God are still subject unto him through the law.
Adam was the covering fallen cherubim and had received the stones in the garden of God. As the church, without sin, is the cherubim's of God. Adam was over everything, second to God, and without sin until he broke the commandment of God, as all living souls have done.
The garden was heaven. Adam and Eve were God's children created without sin. They were God's church, his love, and his creation in the beginning. Adam was made to glorify God and to commune with him. When Adam disobeyed God Adam was cursed in the flesh and would have to labor. Adam's flesh would return to dust. His old man spirit was curse because he had tried to lift himself up. Adam was given over to sin to fulfill the lust of the five senses and to serve himself first. (Col 1:18 KJV) And he is the head of the body, THE CHURCH: WHO IS THE BEGINNING, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
I will not write here about the stones since I have addressed them in another writing.
We are returned unto the garden or paradise of Eden through Christ Jesus. The church or the kingdom of God is the garden and paradise of God. What we lost through the first Adam we have gained back through Jesus Christ.
In the Garden of Eden there were trees, fruit, flowers, and all types of plants. When God elected Israel to be his people, he led them out of dry places. The Holy Land was a type and shadow of the garden of God a land flowing with milk and honey. (Exo 3:8 KJV) And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a GOOD LAND and A LARGE, unto A LAND FLOWING WITH MILK AND HONEY; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
The Promise Land was a land full of water and fruit. The Promise Land was not like Egypt that was dry and barren as a whole. (Num 13:23 KJV) And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with ONE CLUSTER OF GRAPES, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the POMEGRANATES, and of the FIGS.
The promise to the true children of Israel (CHURCH) was that God would restore Israel and liken it to the Garden of Eden. This promise is the spiritual heritage of the Israel of God. (Ezek 36:35 KJV) And they shall say, This LAND THAT WAS DESOLATE IS BECOME LIKE THE GARDEN OF EDEN; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.
When Balaam tried to curse the church in the wilderness God made him bless them and compare them to the garden of God. (Num 24:5 KJV) How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel! (Num 24:6 KJV) As the valleys are they spread forth, as GARDENS BY THE RIVER'S side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.
We the church are the paradise of God. (Rev 2:7 KJV) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. You must be able to hear God and follow the pattern that he instructs you to follow.
The church is returned to the garden through the revelation of knowing who Jesus Christ is. Jesus Christ, the church, the complete glorified body of Jesus is the express image of the pattern of God. God dwells in his son, his garden, his church, his habitation and his spirit and glory fills us. (Rev 22:1 KJV) And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. (Rev 22:2 KJV) In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Daniel
