WHEN YOU ENTER THE REST
Zec 1: 3-7, 11-16-- all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.--
PLEASE FIND THE MEANING OF
THE PHRASE “EARTH --IS AT REST” IN --
—“24TH DAY OF ELEVENTH MONTH EARTH IS AT REST Zec
1: 7”

Following facts are mentioned in this article,
with biblical proof--
There is a rest for
the people of God-- we who believe do enter that rest--
Let us labour
therefore to enter into that rest-- In returning and rest ISRAEL
shall be saved;-- Spirit of the LORD
causes him (ISRAEL) to rest,--LORD GIVES REST TO ISRAEL,-- That He may give
rest to the land,-- She (ISRAEL) dwells among the nations, She finds no rest; (so rest means that you get complete knowledge of JESUS
CHRIST and how He saves through His sacrifice to SERVE HIM—when famine is over,
ISRAEL would get knowledge how to return to Him AS COMPLETE MEN, to be in His
SANCTUARY!).
So the above vss mean that ISRAEL is
in captivity in nations, and the LORD of ISRAEL causes ISRAEL land to REST!
IN THESE END TIMES HE DOES
CREATE THE SPIRITUAL MAN JUST AS HE CREATED THE NATURAL MAN IN PHYSICAL CREATION. 1Co 2:13, SPIRITUAL
THINGS CANNOT BE TAUGHT TO CARNAL PEOPLE, 1 CO 3: 1, THERE HAS TO BE ONE MIND
OF CHRIST IN US, 1 CO 2: 16, 3: 4-7. WE
SHOULD DO WHAT HE COMMANDS!
IN HISTORY ISRAEL BECAME LIKE
HEATHEN WHEN THEY MIXED UP WITH OTHERS—THEN THEY HAD IDOLS OF Babylon , AND
WHEN THEY UNDERSTOOD LORD DELIVERED THEM.
JUST AS GOD DELIVERED PHYSICAL
ISRAEL FROM NATIONS IN HISTORY, NOW HE PORTRAYS ISRAEL OF RO 9: 4,6 (THOSE WHO
HAVE SERVICE OF GOD AND COVENANT) AS BEING SENT INTO CAPTIVITY IN NATIONS BY
GOD HIMSELF, Ez 12: 15, 32: 9, because
they had broken covenant as they did know how to discern holy things from
unholy. NOW HE BRINGS THEM BACK AFTER HE
POURED HIS SPIRIT (KNOWLEDGE OF LIFE THROUGH LIFE GIVING WORDS (JN 6: 63, Ro 6:
3-7), Eze. 39: 28,29.
LORD requires God’s
men to be COMPLETE MEN—equipped for good works, 2Ti 3:17---SO THEN A MAN
BECOMES COMPLETE WHEN HE GETS LORD’S KNOWLEDGE HOW TO CONTINUE TO BE PERFECT
AND HOLY AS HE IS, AFTER HE CLEANSES EACH MAN THROUGH HIS SACRIFICE, through
Baptizm unto His death, Ro 6: 3-7, which gives His rigteousness unto Holiness,
to serve Him, vs. 19, 22. NOTICE---it is His way of
Righteousness that He gives us!
We should
understand that what we call IS NOT HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS!
It is the
way He counsels us! That could be achieved by being doers of His words!
Jas 1:22--
be ye doers of the word, and
not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
NOTICE—it is
pointless if we do our own things without following to DO HIS WORDS!
NOTICE---
1 CO 15 EXPLAINS—the work of the last Adam, JESUS CHRIST, is
explained in this chapter—please read the whole chapter-
1Co 15: 42 So also is
the resurrection of the
dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in
dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a
natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 And so it is
written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening
spirit.
6 Howbeit that was
not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is
of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy,
such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are
heavenly.
Please
understand from the above vss.—
The
Resurrection referred here is how one becomes incorruptible---it is a spiritual
man with power—made so by LORD who quickens!---the second man JESUS CHRIST is
heavenly---whom He resurrects too are heavenly!
This
phenomenon had been explained earlier---when one gets the LORD’s baptizm of Ro 6: 3-7, he would be raised
(resurrected) , just as LORD raised in heavenly places, Eph 1: 20. (this
happened to the poor of Isa 14: 30 in Eph 2: 5,6) similarly all who gets His
baptizm would be raised, resurrected –that means he would get quickened, and
becomes a spiritual man who would understand the holy things of JESUS CHRIST!
Then he is able to serve Him as a complete man!
Therefore natural
men should become spiritual to serve Him!
Then they all become
heavenly---and all of them would come down as NEW JERUSALEM, RE 21: 2!
Spiritual men understand how to judge any situation through
the words of JESUS CHRIST!—one
has to exercise to become mature, Heb 5: 14.
THERE IS A SPIRITUAL MEANING TO THE WORD “REST” IN THE WORD
OF GOD—
RESTLESS IS
OPPOSITE OF REST--
Check from
Joe 1:18 —IT SAYS WHY YOU COULD BE
“RESTLESS”—
Then “REST” is opposite of that meaning--
Joe 1:18 How the
animals groan! The herds of cattle
are restless,
Because they have no pasture; Even the flocks of sheep suffer punishment. 20- For the water brooks
are dried up, And fire has
devoured the open pastures.
NO WATER---BUT FIRE
NO Revelations –BUT fire of the LORD, Jer 5: 14
Cattle are restless because they have NO PASTURE! Then
sheep suffer! A fire devoured pasture!
1Co
9:9 -- Is it oxen God is concerned
about? Then who are these oxen? Understand how LORD explains in His
word--
CATTLE ARE RESTLESS--THE CATTLE—OXEN—
Jer 51: 17 Everyone
is dull–hearted, without knowledge;
18 They are futile, a
work of errors; In the time of their punishment they shall perish.
20 "You are My
battle–ax and weapons of war: For with you I will break the nation in pieces;-
21 With you I will break in pieces the horse
and its rider;
23 With you also I
will break in pieces the shepherd and his flock; With you I will
break in pieces the farmer
and his yoke of oxen; And with you I will break in pieces governors and rulers.
The above vss says of how the LORD is using the gentile work (Re 11: 2)
{the battle ax and weapons of war} to break the futile work of ISRAEL
leaders—this is last era church of God, PCG leaders’ work of error that He is
destroying, this is the work of their “own words” Jer 2: 30 the LORD is
destroying---He is burning and destroying THOSE WORDS WITH HIS WORDS, Heb 4: 12, Jer 5: 14, 23: 29, the women came
to set fire, Isa 27: 11!—these women USE LORD’S WORDS TO SET FIRE!
Horse and rider—Pharaoh LORD created
(Ro 9: 17) is compared to leader (the horse is Pharaoh who would be destroyed
in second exodus, Isa 11: 11 after giving knowledge, Isa 11: 9, these are in
the sea, La 2: 13) we had shown these
parables of the LORD—the riders are the ministry , shepherd is Joshua and his
fellows, Zec 3, LORD considers leaders to be farmers of His words and the OXEN
are his helpers, the ministry!
THESE ARE THE GOVERNORS AND RULERS
OF LORD’S PEOPLE OF ISRAEL LORD is
comparing to be OXEN!
1Co 9:9 -- Is it oxen God is concerned about?---NO--
IT IS MINISTERS WHO DO NOT GET Revelations AND THE SHEEP SUFFER
punishment! Leader and ministry does a work of error! They had become
Laodiceans!
THE spiritual CATTLE are not at
“REST” AS THERE IS NO FOOD, WATER –THEY ARE SUFFERING THE FAMINE OF THE
WORD, AND FIRE—that means-
THEY DO NOT GET REVELATIONS FROM GOD,
BUT CORRECTION through words as fire, Jer 5: 14, 23: 29!
They cannot do the work of JESUS
CHRIST, which is building the wife of Christ, new Jerusalem, Re 21: 2, Isa 62:
1-7, as they are not instructed! They do not know what their LORD is doing to
build New Jerusalem , as He had not told them! They are ignorant of what is
happening around their God! But—poor will know--
Isa
14:30 The firstborn of the poor will
feed, And the needy will lie down in safety; I will kill your roots with
famine, And it will slay your remnant.
THE FIRSTBORN OF THE POOR
GETS FOOD—Revelations FROM GOD! BUT
SPIRITUAL Israel HAD FAMINE OF THE WORD
OF GOD!
THE FIRE OF POOR, Isa
27: 11 HAD DEVOURED THE PASTURES!
The LORD is causing the unwanted
work of ISRAEL to burn----and make them know of the work of JESUS CHRIST
through the light of gentiles, Isa 60: 3
THEN IF YOU ARE RESTLESS WHEN NOT GETTING Revelations—
YOU ARE IN “REST” WHEN YOU GET Revelations!
Then, IF YOU ENTER HIS REST, YOU
WOULD GET Revelations!
WHO GETS Revelations?—IT IS THOSE
WHO OBEYED JESUS CHRIST AS YOU SEE IN THE FOLLOWING VSS—(gentiles hear, Acts
28; 28).
Heb 3:18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His
rest, but to those who did not obey?
Heb 4:1 Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest,
Heb 4:3 For we who have believed do enter that rest,
as He has said: "So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My
rest,’" although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
Heb 4: 4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh
day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all His works.
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter
into My rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must
enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of
unbelief: (ISRAEL did not believe, Ro 11: 20, but they
should not continue in unbelief, vs. 23)-- Heb 3:12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you
an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God;
Heb
3:19 So we see that they could not enter
in because of unbelief.
4: 7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in
David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will
hear His voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, then He
would not afterward have spoken of another day.
Heb 4:9
There remains therefore a rest for the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also
hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His.
(through
LORD’s food THAT HE GIVES THROUGH HIS SACRIFICE, we become complete in His
grace abound in everything––in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all
diligence, and in –love, 2Co 8:6-7, ---- we pray, that you may be made complete, 2Co 13:9---
2Co
13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell.
Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God
of love and peace will be with you.---
Php
1:6 being confident of this very thing,
that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of
Jesus Christ;
Col
2:10 and you are complete in Him,
Col 4:12--
that you may stand perfect
and complete in all the will of God.
2Ti
3:17 that the man of God may be
complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Jas
1:4 But let patience have its perfect
work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
Heb
13:21 make you complete in every good
work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through
Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
4: 11
- Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man
fall after the same example of unbelief.
ISRAEL SHOULD ENTER
INTO THAT REST TO GET HIS BLESSING, TO BE BUILT UP TO BE IN NEW JERUSALEM.
-
Isa 28:12
To whom He said, "This is the rest with which You may cause
the weary to rest," And, "This is the refreshing";
Yet they would not hear.
-
Isa 30:15
For thus says the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: "In returning and rest you
shall be saved;
-
Isa 57:20
But the wicked are like the troubled sea, When it cannot rest, Whose
waters cast up mire and dirt.(Jerusalem with
abominations is in sea, la 2: 13)—and it is the burden of the LORD to cause
ISRAEL to REST--
-
Isa 63:14
As a beast goes down into the valley, And the Spirit of the LORD
causes him to rest, So You lead Your people, To make Yourself a glorious
name.
-
Jer 6:16
Thus says the LORD: "Stand in the ways and see, And ask for the old
paths, where the good way is, And walk in it; Then you will find rest
for your souls.
-
Jer 30:10
‘Therefore do not fear, O My servant Jacob,’ says the LORD, ‘Nor be dismayed,
O Israel; For behold, I will save you from afar, And your seed from the land of
their captivity. Jacob shall return, have rest and be quiet, And
no one shall make him afraid.
-

-

-
Jer 50:34
Their Redeemer is strong; The LORD of hosts is His name. He will
thoroughly plead their case, That He may give rest to the land,
And disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.(LORD pleads
and then give rest, His Revelations to the land of ISRAEL which He considers as Babylon!)
-
La 1:3
Judah has gone into captivity, Under affliction and hard servitude; She
dwells among the nations, She finds no rest;(they have famine!)
In the above vss. you find that
ISRAEL is in Babylon, and in nations, having no rest (famine of the word) and
that the SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS WORKING TO GIVE THEM REST!
Spirit of the LORD is His words that
would give life, Jn 6: 63.
This is the LORD’S WORK
AMIDST ISRAEL HIS CHOSEN , RO 9: 4,6 TO GIVE THEM SALVATION , TO REDEEM THEM
THROUGH HIS SACRIFICE, TO COMPLETE THE WORK AMONG THEM! ISRAEL SHOULD HEAR THE
WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST TO BE COMPLETE IN HIM, AND TURN TO HIM TO ESTABLISH THE
MARRIAGE COVENANT,
MAY THE LORD LEAD ISRAEL TO
RETURN TO HIM, Amen.
ALL PRAISE BE TO THE
GOD OF ISRAEL, THEIR REDEEMER JESUS CHRIST, Amen.
