SCRIPTURAL TARSHISH PART 3

Parts 1 and 2 showed how history of Tarshish is compared to the present work of Tarshish and how early Christian’s views on Tarshish is compared to present work of Tarshish.

This article would show how Tarshish work had served the LORD when He fulfills the prophecies to REDEEM ISRAEL FROM SPIRITUAL CAPTIVITY.

Tarshish work IS ALL FOR THE GLORY OF JESUS CHRIST, to sanctify ISRAEL before Him, so we humbly explain the LORD’s work among us.

2Pe 1:20  - no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

Interpretations belong to God, Ge 40:8, therefore scriptural interpretations should be sought from God’s words, to explain the word TARSHISH appearing in bible.

Tarshish is mentioned in Ge. 10: 4, therefore, it is an ancient city, and it has a work in PROPHECIES, as stated in Jer 10: 9, and in many other places, we should prove from bible!

(2 Pe 1: 20 said, we are to find answers from scriptures!

Therefore one should read the biblical answers without prejudice, God’s words stand!

LORD , the Almighty was prophesied to come as a child, Isa 9: 6, and to die as prophesied in Isa 53. -----THOSE SCRIPTURES FULFILLED AS WRITTEN IN GOSPELS!

JESUS CHRIST was born and HE died on cross as prophesied!

Prophecies fulfill! Isa 9: 6 FULFILLED IN HIS BIRTH, AND Isa 53 fulfilled in HIS DEATH,  Mt 27:35, as RECORDED IN GOSPELS.

Therefore prophecies should be interpreted from scriptures itself!

LORD’S WORDS FULFILL FOR THE LAST DAYS SAYS, Eze. 12: 25-28.

1

Therefore, LORD considers the messengers OF HIS WORDS,  AS COMING IN SHIPS, Eze. 30:9 , THEY ARE TO SERVE THE LORD, as ships of Tarshish , Isa 60: 9.    THAT TIME IS KNOWN AS “day of the LORD”, Eze. 30: 3, 9, as LORD DOES A SPECIAL WORK----preparation to make the eternal covenant with ISRAEL,  His chosen, Ro 9: 4,6; --Eze. 16: 60-63.  

Today the chosen, Ro 9: 4,6,--- are those who made and broke the covenant, Eze. 16: 8, 59, they are Philadelphia Church of God leaders, whom the LORD is purifying today, Mal 3: 2,3, they are to be as mothers to the rest of chosen ISRAEL, Eze. 16: 60-62. LORD is the messenger of covenant, Mal 3: 1, HE USES the gentiles (as written in part1 ), to be His servants, as He had purified them, Eph 2: 13, to serve Him in His Righteousness, Isa 54: 17.

IN PROPHECIES WHEN LORD MENTIONS “TARSHISH” OR “COASTLANDS”—“ISLES”—“FAR PEOPLE” –HE REFERS TO THESE GENTILES, among whom HE DOES HIS WORK.

Ships of Tarshish during Solomon’s days pictured the work of beautifying LORD’S TEMPLE TODAY.

LORD IS DOING A GREAT SHORT WORK, RO 9: 28, HAB 1: 5, Isa 28:21, to send ISRAEL along the HIGH WAY TO HOLINESS, Isa 35:8 (the unclean shall not pass along that, therefore those who make the covenant with Him has to be CLEAN), LORD IS PERFORMING A CLEANSING WORK, purging the ministry as gold and silver, Mal. 3: 2,3.

By creating the covenant with ISRAEL, they would be a blessing to all around them, showers of blessings would come Eze. 34:26, that means they would be a blessing to the world. During the day of the LORD, LORD purifies the ministry as silver and gold, Mal 3:2,3. Therefore it is obvious that ships of Tarshish would be used to SEND HIS MESSAGES to the ministers of LORD’s church, Mal 3:2,3.

When the work is done and finished, THEY WOULD GIVE THE PRESENT TO JESUS CHRIST—AS Ps. 72; 10-15 says—

Ps. 72: 10  The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. 

Tarshish brings presents?----what are these presents to JESUS CHRIST?

Pr 17:8  A present is a precious stone in the eyes of its possessor;

1Pe 2:5  you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house,

2

When we present our presents to JESUS CHRIST , HE IS THE POSSESSOR!

THE PRESENT IS PRECIOUS STONES FOR HIS SANCTUARY!

The ROYAL PRIESTHOOD COMES LIKE STONES TO THE POSSESSOR, JESUS CHRIST! –ALL PRAISE BE TO HIM, FOR HIS SHORT WORK UPON SHIPS OF TARSHISH!

JESUS CHRIST made ISRAEL church as His chosen of Ro 9:4,6, called them and teaches them Jo 6:44,45.

Believers of JESUS CHRIST has to understand that He dwells in a SANCTUARY, Ps. 77:13, created by Him, Heb 8:1,2, SANCTIFIED WITH ---

------His holiness, with His Righteousness and justice ADORNING all people and all things in temple.

The ministry has to understand that fact and has to be purified as gold and silver.

Right now last era God’s church, Philadelphia Church of God has the covenant right, Eze. 16:8, and they had broken it, Eze. 16:59, 44:7, Jer 51:51 in the presence of gentiles of Tarshish. Therefore these gentiles know the iniquity of Philadelphia Church of God, Eze. 39:21-23, that is how they are known as gentiles of outer court, Re 11:2-4. They were to tread Jerusalem (which is spiritual church, Ro 9:4,6) serving the LORD, La 1:15, Re 11: 2.

The Philadelphia Church of God  ministry were to be tested in a furnace of affliction, but not as silver, Is 48:10, furnace gives fire as their wickedness was to be burnt with fire of the LORD, Jer 5:14,23:29, USING THE LORD’S WORDS AS SLIVER, Ps. 12:6 and that work was served by the ships of Tarshish, Jer 10:9,10.

Affliction means they have a famine of God’s words, Amos 8: 11, that is why they speak of H.W.Armstrong’s words in their programme, TRUMPET!

LORD TESTS THEM WITHOUT GIVING Revelations OF HIS DIRECT TO THEM, LORD IS PROVOKING THEM BY GIVING Revelations TO GENTILES, Ro 11:11. BUT LORD MAKES TARSHISH SEND HIS MESSAGES TO THEM!

3

That is how there are being purified as silver and gold in Mal 3:2,3 and that is how ships of Tarshish brings presents of gold and silver to the name of the LORD, Ps. 72:10-15.

So this is a great work of the LORD served by ships of Tarshish to SERVE THE LORD TO MAKE eternal covenants. Praise be to Him for all His work among ships of Tarshish. please read those covenants in http://www.restoringcaptivity.com

Just as during Solomonic era ships of Tarshish were used for the LORD’s temple, ships of Tarshish bring presents, the ministry as living stones to the LORD’S temple, Heb 8:1,2 .  

Many scriptures showing the work of the LORD is described in this article,

Historians prove that Sri Lanka was that Tarshish during Solomonic era.

Balaam prophesied that Tarshish (brother of Cyprus{Kittim}), would live to serve JESUS CHRIST when He comes as sceptre in  latter days, Nu 24:14,17,23,24.

BIBLE BELONGS TO JESUS CHRIST, HIS WORDS HERE A LITTLE THERE A LITTLE, Isa 28:10, TELLS US HIS PLANS.

JESUS CHRIST was made as Son of God,  Heb 7:3, child (to become man to be a sacrifice), Isa 9: 6, –Deut 7:7, 1 Col  --   Acts 10:34-35, Acts 17:26,

JESUS CHRIST HAD NO SEED AFTER HIM—Mt 1: 17-(without holiness He would not have a seed as HE IS HOLY, and among His people----no increase BECAUSE holiness was devoured by ISRAEL leaders,-Jer 2:3),

Therefore LORD became a sacrifice on the cross, to see a seed of ISRAEL , Isa 53:10.

H.W.Armstrong the former leader whom Philadelphia Church of God honours as a god,  taught them NOT TO RECOGNIZE THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST! therefore Philadelphia Church of God DOE NOT KNOW THE MESSAGE OF CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST!

As ISRAEL do not hear, but gentiles hear, Acts 28:28, He chose a seed from gentiles, Ps. 22:30, who would declare of a seed of ISRAEL, Ps. 22:31, -- thus the gentiles became 1^st born of poor, Isa 14: 30, would bear children among ISRAEL, Eze. 47: 22!

Now these gentiles are from Sri Lanka which had been identified as Tarshish BY HISTORIANS  AND THE GENTILES WHO ARE SERVING JESUS CHRIST NOW, TO BRING BACK ISRAEL CAPTIVES, TO ZION, Zec 9: 11, Zec 2:10, Zep 3:14, Jer 31:12  Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion,--

ZION 52:8  Your watchmen shall lift up their voices, With their voices they shall sing together; For they shall see eye to eye When the ZION brings back ZION.

Those of Tarshish were made as watchmen over ISRAEL , Isa 62: 7.

Isa 2:16  And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.---17--And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.--18  And the idols He shall utterly abolish.---this is the time of LORD’S DAY, ---12  For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:----therefore, whether ISRAEL or gentile, all proud would be humbled, gentiles could be even cut off, Ro 11: 22, they are to rely on the goodness of God, Ro 11: 22, repentance as God leads through His servants, Ro 2: 4, because some were to fall, 1 Tim 4: 1-3 (for not eating LORD’S SANCTIFIED FOOD).

Isa 23:1  The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is revealed to them.—THE NEXT VSS.---- 5  As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.—TYRE was a fortified city in history, Jos 19:29  , king Solomon got help from king of Tyre, Hiram, 1Ki 5:1, Tyre had cedar wood, given to David, 1Ch 22:4, LORD SAID SUCH A ONE COMPARED TO TYRE WOULD BE BORN IN ZION, Ps. 87: 4---that means, THE LEADER WOULD BE COMPARED TO TYRE (who has a fortified city, powerful, as cedar! Now we had shown the leader of PCG as a powerful one who destroys LORD’S city as A LION, Jer 2: 30-)—therefore IT IS A BURDEN---TYRE COMPARING TO THE LEADER IS A BURDEN GIVEN TO US, Tarshish! (this leader is compared to the Assyrian of Isa 14: 25,26 {the burden given to Tarshish to give LORD’s messages to that man, Isa 14: 6, who shook the world!}). --

Isa 23: 6  Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle.

7  Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.

8  Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth?---PCG DOES A MERCHANT WORK---distributing, advertising books---books that are against God of whole earth---those books does not teach to worship God, but EXALT H.W.Armstrong, a idol of PCG! ---or they advertise or give books of Gerald Flurry freely to people, spending God’s tithes, robbing tithes, Mal 3: 8.

9  The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.

11  He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong holds thereof.

10  Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength.---SO LORD PURPOSED THAT Tarshish WOULD HAVE THE BURDEN OF TYRE, AND TO SEND LORD’S WORDS AS A RIVER!

Isa 23:17  And it shall be, at the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre. She will return to her hire, and commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.---THIS IS 70 years given to church, Jer 25: 11 (from H.W.Armstrong’s time, it was confusion, they never kept new moon as David did, 1 Chr 23: 30-31, they kept Passover  on 13^th day even, and NOT ON 14^TH DAY EVEN!

H.W.Armstrong taught of Nebuchadnezzar as he too represented king of Babylon! –H.W.Armstrong taught people to be rich, to use gold cutlery etc. and no such things are taught in the word of God! he taught NOT TO USE GOD’S NAME, AND SPOKE AGAINST THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST! he too spoke of “place of safety” ---which is not God’s words! By these lies, he gave false visions---and Gerald Flurry continued in them---Isa 23: 15!

TYRE SPOKE AGAINST Jerusalem--Eze 26:2---

Eze 26:3  "Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: ‘Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you,--- Eze 26:4  ‘And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers; I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.---

Eze 26:15  "Thus says the Lord GOD to Tyre: ‘Will the coastlands not shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded cry, when slaughter is made in the midst of you?

Eze 27:2  "Now, son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre,

Eze 27:3  "and say to Tyre, ‘You who are situated at the entrance of the sea, merchant of the peoples on many coastlands, thus says the Lord GOD: "O Tyre, you have said, ‘I am perfect in beauty.’---(it is PCG which thinks that no harm would come upon her as she is being cared and safeguarded by God, when He is hiding, Eze. 39: 21-23).

Eze 27:32  In their wailing for you They will take up a lamentation, And lament for you: ‘What city is like Tyre, Destroyed in the midst of the sea?

What is this city in the midst of the city---LIKE TYRE?

LA 2: 13---O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea:

SO TYRE IS COMPARED TO PCG!

Eze 28:12  "Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: "You were the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.---PCG LEADER WAS GIVEN THE PERFECT THINGS , Eze. 16: 8-14!---she who had all good things with God’s covenant!

Ho 9:13  Just as I saw Ephraim like Tyre,

Eze. 28: Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: "Because your heart is lifted up, And you say, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of gods, In the midst of the seas,’ Yet you are a man, and not a god, Though you set your heart as the heart of a god---5  By your great wisdom in trade you have increased your riches, And your heart is lifted up because of your riches),"

6  ‘Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Because you have set your heart as the heart of a god,

7  Behold, therefore, I will bring strangers against you, The most terrible of the nations; And they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, And defile your splendor.

Ho 9:13  Just as I saw Ephraim like Tyre,---IT IS Philadelphia Church of God THAT IS COMPARED TO Ephraim—Joseph’s blessing were to come to Ephraim, Ge 48: 20—Jacob’s everlasting blessings to come on Joseph, in last days, Ge 49: 1, 22--26—Reuben did not get first born rights, 1 Chr 5: 1—

AND IN LAST TIMES, PCG GOT IT, Eze. 16: 8!---THEREFORE---Ephraim is Philadelphia Church of God ---and Hos 9: 13 compares Ephraim to Tyre---THEREFORE----PCG IS AS TYRE---IT’S LEADER FELL FROM HIS responsibility, Isa 22: 25, no more prophet, Ps. 74: 9---because he had lifted himself---became PROUD AGAINST THE LORD, COMPARING himself TO GOD MOST HIGH!

Isa 23:1  The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish;---so Tarshish had the burden of Tyre!

BUT PCG WOULD GET THE BLESSINGS OF Ephraim AS THE ABOVE ARTICLE SHOWS!---they would be purified, WHEN THEY CRY UNTO GOD, TO DELIVER THEM. ---Isa 19:20-- Ho 8:2  Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.---in history ISRAEL cried unto God to save them-- 1Sa 7:8

2Ch 20:9  If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.

THEREFORE---Philadelphia Church of God SHOULD CRY UNTO GOD WHEN YOU GET THE SWORD OF THE LORD!

Scriptural Tarshish has a work to serve JESUS CHRIST waiting on Him, Isa 60:9 , to make special presentations, Ps 72:10,  just before He returns as written in Re 22: 20, . But we should take notes from history of Tarshish as JESUS CHRIST is the creator of all places, He shows different things from history, to fulfill His purposes, Job 23: 13,14.

Ships of Tarshish were famous during king Solomon’s time. JUST AS THAT, in present day, JESUS CHRIST uses them to show a work through ships, Isa 23:1, Isa 23:10, as He pictures the true church of ISRAEL TROUBLED as IN A SEA, La 2: 13.

He is correcting THIS TROUBLED SITUATION in His church among ISRAEL of Ro 9: 4,6, through His own sacrifice, Mt 1: 21, messages given to them from LORD is by Tarshish!

Isa 10:22  For though your people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, A remnant of them will return; The destruction decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

Isa 23:10  Overflow through your land like the River, O daughter of Tarshish; There is no more strength.

THEREFORE UNTIL THERE IS NO MORE STRENGTH, DAUGHTER OF Tarshish HAS TO OVERFLOW THROUGH THEIR LAND, THE prophecies of DESTRUCTION DECREED BY GOD!

After that LORD creates new heavens and new earth, and new Jerusalem would be created, Re 21: 2,3.

 Isa 60:9  Surely the isles shall wait for Me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.

This vs. had been explained in ---

http://www.restoringcaptivity.com

These gentiles first born of the poor, Isa 14: 30 – are a remnant of PCG, who became elect-Ro 11: 7---- they had to be separated from PCG, as a remnant----it is gentiles of outer court, Re 11:2-4--- (they were then in the outer court of PCG, last era church). LORD CONSIDERS HIS PLAN OF THE TEMPLE-

Even if the pattern of the temple is not there---according to modern planning---LORD DOES NOT CHANGE-----HE CONSIDERES ISRAEL as in inner court-gentiles in outer court-Re 11;2-4.---BUT THE LEADERS of inner court, WERE SPIRITUALLY KILLED, Eze. 9: 6, for the iniquity of east, Eze. 11; 1, Bamah matter, Eze. 20: 29.

Jer 10:9  Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.

When Isa  60:9-Ps. 72:10 says Tarshish brings presents. Solomon’s time ships brought things necessary to build the temple and it’s things-they are offering to the God of whole earth. Now we see Tarshish brings offerings, presents to God of whole earth! As written earlier, presents are STONES, Pr 17: 8, LIVING STONES, 1 Pe 2: 5,9, as a royal priesthood to serve JESUS CHRIST in the TABERNACLE He pitches, Heb 8: 1,2.

Since ISRAEL does not hear, but gentiles hear Acts 28:28, and Tarshish wait on God, Isa 60: 9,  their rivers flow, ( Isa 23: 10  Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: ) , as  clouds pour water, Ez 30:3.

Tarshish wait on Him----Is 60:9.

Jer 10:9-they work with the silver, gold of  Uphaz

Where do we see gold of Uphaz working---Re 1:13-chest with a golden band

Re 1:13-15 also Dan 10:5-6 (with gold of Uphaz )---those vss. describe JESUS CHRIST! –HE IS GOLD!

ALMIGHTY GOD IS GOLD AND SILVER,

JOB 22: 25  Yes, the Almighty will be your gold And your precious silver;).

Read--- “Almighty will be your gold”---http://www.restoringcaptivity.com

Gold from Uphaz---vs. 10--But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide His indignation.

Jer 10:  10- LORD is true God –He wears a golden band and chest.

Around chest—gold covering of the heart-----just as heart supplies blood to brain, hands—feet, HIS GOLD WOULD BE SEEN IN HIS WORK.

If the heart supplies pure blood, whole body is pure—

Like wise LORD is full of gold –a special gold of Uphaz  --  

Job 22:25--- 25  Yes, the Almighty will be your gold And your precious silver;

26  For then you will have your delight in the Almighty, And lift up your face to God.

27  You will make your prayer to Him, He will hear you, And you will pay your vows.

28  You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways.

Jer 10: 9—is Tarshish---they wait on God, Isa 60: 9---THEREFORE—they delight in God, we lift our faces to God---make prayer---HE WILL HEAR OUR PRAYERS—WE PAY OUR VOWS---we declare a thing---IT WILL BE DONE!

WHAT DO THEY DECLARE—

Ps. 22: 31-- They shall come, and shall declare His righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done this.-----LORD WOULD ESTABLISH THIS THING AS WE DECLARE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO Philadelphia Church of God!!--

Jer 10:10---But the LORD is the true God, He is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.---YES, LORD WOULD BURN UP THEIR WICKEDNESS---they are unable to bear it! NATIONS formed by PCG when LORD scattered them, Eze. 12: 15---would not be able to bear LORD’S INDIGNATION!

This vs. shows that LORD is king EVERLASTING! (a king should have a kingdom!) then it will be the Kingdom of God for ever!

9

These precepts show that the LORD is angry---then the gold (vs. 9) which is God , Job 22:25,  uses His seven times purified words which is silver, Ps. 12:6,7 to express His purifying process through LORD’s baptizm unto His death, Ro 6: 3-7, which gives Righteousness unto Holiness, 19,22- therefore Tarshish who waits on Him, Is 60:9, bring their silver and gold to God, because God had glorified ISRAEL , Is 60:9, THROUGH HIS SACRIFICE!

Jer 10:9-10-silver brought from Tarshish---SILVER IS LORD’S WORDS PURIFIED SEVEN TIMES—Ps. 12: 6

Joh 7:38  "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. 1^st born of poor gentiles, Isa 14: 30, (who feed and therefore do not have famine, famine of words of God, Amos 8: 11) are having living water, AS THEY BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST ! Water from clouds, Eze. 30: 3, it is rain on a cloudy day, Eze. 1: 28. and the cloudy day, a rainbow was seen, Eze. 1: 28 (which means that the rivers of water would not destroy ISRAEL to whom the waters go!).  This period is as Noah’s time to God, but He showed the rainbow—

is a sign of not destroying, BUT HE WOULD REMEMBER THE EVERLASTING COVENANT , Ge 9:14-16. THEREFORE SINCE Eze. 1: 28 SHOWED A RAINBOW---EVERLASTING COVENANT IS SHOWN!

That means Tarshish would bring God’s words of reproof instruction to ISRAEL , TO PREPARE THEM FOR THE ETERNAL COVENANT  ---"after returning from captivity"—He is establishing the Kingdom of God . Since the LORD’s way is in the tabernacle, Ps. 77:13-He would create a perfect tabernacle for Him—Eze. 37: 27, -WITH A PERFECT MINISTRY---this is what we see in Re 21:2,3, 22:3;4

Again remember LORD was seen with a band of gold, around chest, Re 1;13, He is Alpha and Omega, first and last, Re 1;11 Alpha and Omega is JESUS CHRIST, RE 22:13. Therefore –Tarshish serve JESUS CHRIST, Jer 10:9,10, --Is 60:9

Now we saw in the above vss that the LORD is working in wrath, therefore those who wait on Him would bring WORDS OF HIS WRATH, PRIOR TO SHOWING HIS MERCY through His sacrifice to forgive believers of their past sins- this is all a work of correcting ISRAEL . It is LORD’s short work ,Ro  9:28, among the ISRAEL who were given the right to His covenant and God’s service , Ro 9:4, for ALL ISRAEL is not ISRAEL , Ro 9:6 ( therefore LORD ‘s work WOULD NOT BE SEEN AMONG THE PHYSICAL NATION OF ISRAEL !).

LORD gives a cup of wrath and a cup of salvation. In the cup of wrath is included coals, brimstone and a burning wind, Ps. 11:6,  because He burns wickedness, Is 9:18 AS He loves Righteousness , because He is RIGHTEOUS, Ps. 11:7.

Cup of salvation is given through Baptizm unto His death, Ro 6: 3-7, which gives His rigteousness, vs 19, 22. ---Ps. 12:6--The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

Thus LORD preserves His pure words forever---in His everlasting kingdom.

They are words of a PURE LANGUAGE---

Therefore like Solomon’s time Tarshish brings presents to the name of the LORD "when returning from captivity"—He establishes His temple. Since He pitches the temple with His daily sacrifice and He is the temple , we Tarshish brings silver and gold ministry , Mal 3:2,3, as stones—

We should not be ignorant of spiritual gifts, 1 Co 12:1, there are differences of ministries, but the same LORD, 12:5, BUT THE MANIFESTATION IOF THE SPIRIT IS GIVEN to each one for the profit of all, vs. 7--  vs. 8: For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

9  To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

10  To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

11  But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

12 -  For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

13  For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

A study on Is 41:7

Anvil is an iron block on which craftsman work (Collin’s dictionary).

proves Tarshish worked on the anvil---and they should have iron when Ezekiel lived about 2560 years back--

Recently ARCHELOGISTS have found that the OLDEST IRON IN ASIA, more than 3000 years old were from  Haldemulla,  a town of Sri Lanka.

Tarshish are a people of  east, Is 41:2, having a long history, Gen 10:4 (Tarshish) , coastlands vs. 5 (of Tarshish Isa 60:9) working with sliver and gold, Jer 10:9 working on the iron anvil-Is 41;7—SHOWS THE LORD’S POWER TO HAVE MADE A NEW THRESHING SLEDGE Is 41;15 to give knowledge of God to cover sea, Isa 11: 9, { when ISRAEL is compared to be in a sea-La 2:13}.

LORD compares physical with spiritual!

Jer 10: 9--blue and purple is their clothing:----IT IS FOR SERVING IN THE HOLY PLACE--Ex 39:1  Of the blue, purple, and scarlet thread they made garments of ministry, for ministering in the holy place,

So the LORD had given us His Righteousness through His blood, Eph 2: 13, to forgive and cleanse us to make us SERVE HIM.

When God speaks of coastlands that wait for Him, the ships of Tarshish, with their silver and gold they bring to the name of God, Is 60:9, LORD said “keep silence before Me O coastlands”, Is 41:1, they had to work on a anvil, Is 41:7 (please read the chapter) you find LORD instructing and making one from east to rule nations ( to rule spiritual nations made by LORD Ez 32:9, when rulers of ISRAEL of Ro9:4,6 went into CAPTIVITY IN NATIONS, Ez 12:3-15).

{Ro 9:4,6 are ISRAEL serving God in church they are not physical ISRAEL NATION}.

The church  when it came to the last era of Laodiceans (Re 3:17) is given over by LORD to be ruled by coastlands of Tarshish of East, Is 3:4,12, Is 41:1-2-says these coastlands, came near to God serving God to make judgments on those nations of spiritual captivity!----Eze. 16: 40-42 Judgments on Philadelphia Church of God!

For that purpose blue and purple garments were given!

Thus judgment was done by them Ez 16:40-42, when last era church became spiritual harlot, Ez 16:15, because she broke marriage covenant , Ez 16:59, that was made with JESUS CHRIST , Ez 16:8 (Philadelphia church  of God prophet, Mr Gerald Flurry  Wrote that they made this  covenant  -- so they are those who broke it, judgment of Ez 16:40-42, was done on them by coastland, Tarshish as the ,LORD required!

Thus –Is 41:2-judging from east (Tarshish {Sri Lanka}is situated in east) was made by God to judge ISRAEL and help ISRAEL to redeem ISRAEL of Ro 9:4,6 because of their work of error , Is 41:10,14,15)

The poor and needy, gets plenty of spiritual water and food from God, Isa 41:17,18{these are the 1^st  born of the poor, Is 14:30 the coastlands that wait on Him, Is 60:9, who are given the Righteousness to condemn, the rulers of spiritual  ISRAEL of Ro 9:4,6, ----Is 54:17, -----but the coastland and gentile messengers in ships, Ez 30:3,9, take messages of God who is our gold, Job 22:25, to make ISRAEL rulers of church TO BUILD THEM UP, to purge Levi as silver and gold. (Gold and silver is God, Job 22:25, silver His purified words, Ps. 12:6,7, sliver and gold smiths {the craftsman}from Tarshish, Jer 10:9,10. Isa 41:4 says that the LORD called the generations from beginning- ---

Thus Tarshish was called –they are mentioned in Gen 10:4.--- Is 41:7--So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smoothest with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the soldering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved—craftsman, goldsmiths are to use an anvil to make smooth sheets of gold and silver-Anvil is a block iron on which craftsmen work-

THESE SMITHS WERE IN BASKET OF GOOD FIGS--

WHEN ISRAEL WENT INTO CAPTIVITY IN Babylon, LORD SHOWED A PARABLE OF TWO BASKETS OF FIGS set before the temple of the LORD--—Jer 24: 1--in one went the ISRAEL church leaders, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah in the other went the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem,--

Tarshish smiths and craftsmen went in the basket of good figs, Jer 24: 5-7 (LORD builds them and gave a heart to know Him) –while the leaders went in the bad fig basket, the king and princes of Judah , vs. 8----

9-- delivered them to trouble ---and were scattered into all the kingdoms of the earth, for their harm, to be a reproach and a byword, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive them.

10  ‘And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, till they are consumed from the land that I gave to them and their fathers.’"

SO LORD CONSIDERS Tarshish AS CRAFTSMEN TOO WHO WERE BUILT UP BY HIM! –ISRAEL OF RO 9: 4,6 HAS FAMINE, famine of word, Amos 8: 11—(NO Revelations FOR THEM!)—they have false visions,

La 2:14  Your prophets have seen for you False and deceptive visions; They have not uncovered your iniquity, to bring back your captives, But have envisioned for you false prophecies and delusions.

Laodiceans have false visions—they are blind, Re 3: 17—they do not see proper things!

Ezk 22:18-25  shows that leaders of the house of ISRAEL are as roaring lions, (devoured people vs. 25- lion is their own words, not God’s words, Jer 2;30)People are destroyed for lack of knowledge , “lion” is a parable used on the leader who errs! vs. 18-22 shows that the ministry is cleansed as silver -- that means you need an anvil to work TO CLEAN AND SMOOTHEN SILVER –to make it ready for soldering, Is 41:7, Levi to be purified as silver and gold, Mal 3:2,3.

Spiritually this is because Levi were wicked, Ez 22:25, they have profaned God’s holy things, " Sabbath should be  a delight for all" --- Ez 22:26, but the  ministry are like wolves to destroy people, Ez 22:27, telling lies vs. 28, mistreating  poor, vs. 29, so LORD sends a fire to melt them, vs. 31-THE FIRE IS GOD’S WORDS-Jer 5:14, 23:29, to burn wickedness, Isa 9: 18, fire is brought by women, Isa 27: 11, they are two sisters, Jer 3: 14, Re 11: 2.

Therefore the LORD’s ministry are to be melted with LORD’s fire-to make silver and gold----after they are cleansed, they would be a present to the LORD from Tarshish, and Sheba , Ps. 72:10, so they are as silver smiths , Jer 10:9, working with LORD’s pure words as “silver” , Ps. 12: 6.

LORD purified gentiles through His own blood, Eph 2: 13, to give them the garments of ministry, blue and purple, ---- they then took hold of Sabbaths, covenant, in house of God as sons and daughters, Isa 56: 4-7---they serve as pastors, Jer 3: 14,15, teaching ISRAEL of Ro 9: 4,6 of LORD’s pure words! LORD said He would give pastors to ISRAEL, Jer 3: 15.

Still, any one could err! 1 Tim 4: 1 had happened, some gentiles affected by 1 Tim 4: 1! One has to be very careful, when Satan can influence keeping commandments, Re 12: 17, Re 20: 7. One could only rely on LORD’s goodness, Ro 2: 4, which is repentance!

If they do not repent, they would be out of the city, Re 22: 14,15, Isa 66: 24, it is only the goodness of God that could lead them to repentance! Those who do not repent would be abhorred by people as Isa 66; 24 says.
