"Jesus Christ Raises The Dead
At The Golden Gate In Jerusalem, Israel

(February 5, 2011)

(Without Interpretation: Please read all of this Vision before reading and studying the Interpretation!)
[Seen and prophesied during a Sunday service, on February 6, 2011, in a local church in Coarsegold, Ca.]

I, Chris Williams, saw Christ Jesus sitting on a (1)white horse in a graveyard. I immediately heard God’s Holy Spirit say that (2)this is the graveyard between Mount of Olives and the (4)Golden Gate in the wall around Jerusalem, Israel. (1)I also knew Jesus was directly from Heaven, and I was seeing Him on the white horse as taught in Revelations 6:2, and not as seen in Revelations 19:11.

I saw Him enter into the graveyard two times; He rode from the right to the left, or the East to the West, on my Vision screen. The first time I did not see the graves or scenery, but knew for sure He touched the ground on earth. He stopped in front of me and looked directly at me.

The second time He rode past me with tremendous speed and power, retracing His first ride; however, this time I was not sure if, or when, He was touching the ground. He did not stop to look at me; I clearly saw graves at this time. I did see at least one tree, perhaps a few trees, in the background. They appeared to be (1b2)oaks or olive trees.

(2)As Jesus rode through the graveyard, I saw His right arm/hand point toward the graves. When He did, the bodies rose from the dead, one by one, as He passed by and pointed at them. At this time, God’s Holy Spirit said to me (3)"Ezekiel 37". Jesus’ head was turned to the right and I stood to His left. I did not hear the voices or noise within this vision. Instead, I heard the entire interpretation of the vision, from God’s Holy Spirit, as I saw what He wanted me to see.

I was in the Spirit. We had been, and still were, in worship as this vision occurred. The vision was given in 30 seconds time, and God gave me His interpretations, scriptures, and references as we went. This was the first vision I have received in which the scriptural references were said as I saw the Vision. This set the path I was to take in the interpretation. I have never had such a detailed vision in such a short amount of time.

The (3)raised dead stood slightly above the ground and moved forward as an army behind Jesus <Ezek 37 - see below>. I do not remember seeing them on horses, but they most likely did not need them because (3)they are the "dead in Christ", or part of the dead in Christ, that will rise first. I saw them rise from their graves as He rode through the graveyard and pointed at them. They were given Christ’s new life. Because (3)Ezekiel 37 was referenced, and we know that it is the Holy Spirit who raises the dead <Rom 8:11>, we know that these Beings were given God’s new SPIRITUAL LIFE, as in Ezekiel 37, as Christ pointed at them. <Matt 3:11; Lk 3:16>.

I quickly saw them joined by, what I believe to be, a Spiritual army from heaven (perhaps on horses), and/or a Spiritual army from earth. Those that rose from the graves in front of the (4)Golden Gate were definitely joined by others. The huge assembly/congregation were not visible for long, and I knew it was not God’s intention for me to really identify this group of children, other than those who had risen from their graves. I am not sure if those who rose from the graveyard, between the Mount of Olives and the Golden Gate, are the only bodies that rose. It is very possible that God restricted my view to these graves – which represent the final populace that may have come, or will come, from around the earth. This is the first time God has shown me the dead rising from graves; I was so excited that I began to cry in Joy. Because He is showing these Biblical events to His people now - in this way - we can rest assured that He is coming very soon for all of us!

I heard God remind me of (3)Ezekiel 37 as the dry bones were filled with the Spirit of God and rose from the dead. God has referenced this particular scripture many times within the last year, both for me and others who have received His visions and prophecies etc.

Jesus rode His horse, with continued speed and determination, through the Golden Gate located in the east side of the wall around Jerusalem. The gate did not have to open because it was no longer there. I did not see Jesus’ army move through the (4)Golden Gate with Him. (5)Jesus rode His white horse through the gate by Himself, and stopped in the (6)middle of Jerusalem.

Originally, the original Hebrew/Israelite Tabernacle/Temple sat in the middle, or center, of Jerusalem. Then, and now, the wall encircles this city. I did not see Jesus ride clear through the city. He was on/above the ground, which would indicate that He was in the Spirit while manifesting on earth. He sat on His standing horse in the middle of old physical Jerusalem as the vision closed. However, as He stood within the walled area around Jerusalem, I did not see people, other buildings, the Temple, or activity of any kind. I saw dirt and dust, and the wall. At the time I saw this, it struck me that even the wall was old and in disrepair, dusty and dirty. This indicates that Jesus was in the Spirit, manifesting into the physical; and that He is allowing us to see the old physical Jerusalem as He Himself sees it. He sees it as dead and dirty.

"This is not limited to the physical Israel, or Jerusalem, but also the dead who no longer wait for their Messiah/Christ to appear, saith the Lord, Amen."

Immediately after this vision occurred, God told me to give the following scripture to Bev, a woman who had a vision either during, or before, the church service that Sunday:

[1 Cor 10:1-5] Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, (*)all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. NKJV

(*) "all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ": This reminds one of Communion doesn’t it?

Vision Interpretation and Study Guide
[NOTE: Though this Vision is complete, we still have more to learn about it as God further interprets it for us.]
{All Scriptures are from the NKJV Bible, unless otherwise stated}

(1) "white horse" (+) "I also knew Jesus was directly from Heaven, and I was seeing Him on the white horse as taught in Revelations 6:2, and not as seen in Revelations 19:11":

[Rev 6:1-2] Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures {Cherubim} saying with a voice like thunder, "Come and see." And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a (1a)bow {with no arrows}; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer."

[NOTE: Nelson’s Study Bible says under their note on Rev 6:2, "Because the first rider is on a white horse and is conquering, some take it to be Christ (vs 19:11 also)... Other widely held views are that this is the anti-Christ, or the spirit of conquest and delusion. (See Matt 24:3-6)"

Though I did not see Jesus with a bow, God said, and then again verified, that He had chosen Revelations 6:2; and that indeed this is Christ on the white horse. In this Vision, we see Jesus go forth as a conqueror prior to the "great tribulation". "No arrows", in both Revelations 6:2 and in this Vision, indicate that Christ Jesus is not in battle against those raised from the dead; instead He is here to give them their long awaited individual resurrection. I have been told, prior to this vision, that all four horses, including this white one, went forth onto the earth already <Rev 6:2-8>: the white and red horse sometime between 1996-2001; the black horse on April 23, 2008 and the pale horse on November 20, 2008, with confirmation on December 4, 2008. If you are, or were, not aware of this fact, please ask me for a copy of the "The Four Horses In Revelations Are Upon The Earth NOW". As you re-read Revelations 6:2-8 for yourself, please notice that all four horses are sent out by God, via His four living creatures.

Jesus Christ has personally come forth to conquer both the Spiritual and physical realms. We have entered the end-time; the battles are still fought over, and for, the salvation of all mankind. This is God’s ONE eternal intent. God’s people will see spiritual and physical miracles and wonders, through His SPIRITUAL remnant, in magnitude never seen before. The tremendous growth will occur within His Spiritual Church, over which Christ is the Head!

God said, through me, on both February 18 and July 11, 2007, "the time of the fullness of the Gentiles is complete, or fulfilled", meaning it was finished and done. At that time, He referenced (1b)Romans 11:16-25. During our daily communion on August 8, 2007, Jesus also said, "This morning the wild (1b2)olive tree has been grafted back in"; He referenced (1b)Romans 11:16-24 again. Today’s Vision confirms these prophetic Words spoken by God on the above dates.

Because Jesus’ Spirit is showing us these events happening first in Israel, specifically the opening of the graves at OLD physical Jerusalem, we know without a doubt that this resurrection from the dead, begins with our brothers and sisters mentioned in, but not restricted to, the verse given to me by God’s Holy Spirit (in church – originally for Bev): [1 Cor 10:1-5] Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the (1a2)cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness."

Why does/did Jesus ride into, and see, the EMPTY, deteriorating, dusty, dirty old physical Jerusalem, rather than the (1c)new SPIRITUAL Jerusalem? Notice that those "risen from the dead" did not follow Him into the EMPTY old Jerusalem; rather He rode into the center of the OLD physical Jerusalem by Himself. As we will read, all of God’s people are to enter into God’s (1c)NEW SPIRITUAL JERUSALEM now, even while still on earth. The overwhelming manifestation of the NEWNESS OF CHRIST on earth and in heaven has already begun. Throughout 2010 and 2011 I saw, along with others, the personal spiritual manifestation of Jesus Christ, Himself, in the local churches during worship etc. We have received many more prophecies, revelations, visions etc within this time frame also. Because of this Vision, I expect to see this NEWNESS greatly intensify now among Christ’s/God’s remnant.

(1a) "bow {with no arrows}": As I was studying scriptures for this Vision, I heard God’s Holy Spirit repeatedly remind me that Jesus will return in the clouds. There is a reason for this that should become very obvious as we continue with this Study. I wanted to make it obvious to the reader now - be sure and pay attention to the very intricate connection between "the bow", "rainbow", "all flesh", the east, resurrection, and the "clouds" in this Study. We are standing in the end of all time!!!!

In essence, God is announcing that we have come full circle; and we have entered the time of Spiritual and physical transformation, transfiguration and resurrection. In fact, God begins the book of Revelations by saying: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End," says the Lord, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.... I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last," [Rev 1:8-11]. In this Vision, we see that Christ is Spiritually raising, or going to raise, our brothers and sisters who are the "dead in Christ" – most likely beginning with the Jews / Israelites.

I did not see the bow, as seen in Revelations 6:2. Had I seen the bow, Jesus would have been showing us "judgment" prior, or during, this resurrection of these Saints. New Unger’s says the following about a "bow": "...The bow signifies judgments ready for offenders (Ps 7:12)..." (from The New Unger's Bible Dictionary.)

Jesus is showing us, in this Vision, that He is not here to "judge" those raised from their graves.

BOTH "BOW" AND "RAINBOW" ARE THE SAME WORD IN BOTH THE OLD TESTAMENT HEBREW AND THE NEW TESTAMENT GREEK!

"New Unger’s Bible Dictionary teaches us, under RAINBOW, that the Hebrew word translated as "(1a1)rainbow", means "BOW IN THE (1a2)CLOUD,"... {The rainbow / bow is} "The token of the covenant that God made with Noah when he came out from the ark {to begin life on earth ANEW}, that "never again shall the water become a flood to destroy (1a3)all flesh...

Figurative {Rainbow}: Springing as it does from the effect of the sun upon the dark mass of the clouds, it typifies the readiness of the heavenly to pervade the earthly; spread out as it is between heaven and earth, IT PROCLAIMS PEACE BETWEEN GOD AND MAN; and while spanning the whole horizon, it teaches the all-embracing universality of the Noahic covenant. In the wondrous vision shown to John in the Apocalypse (Rev 4:3), it is said that "there was a (1a)rainbow around the throne, like an emerald in appearance"; amid the awful vision of surpassing glory is seen the symbol of hope, the bright emblem of mercy and of love, looking forward from the awful judgments of the Great Tribulation to the establishment of the millennial kingdom and finally to the sinless eternal state.

"CLOUDS":

[Gen 9:8-17] Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying: "And as for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you and with your descendants after you, and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, every beast of the earth. Thus I establish My covenant with you: Never again shall (1a3)all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth."

The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of (1a3)all flesh that is on the earth." And God said to Noah, "This is the (1a4)SIGN of the covenant which I have established between Me and (1a3)all flesh that is on the earth."

[Dan 7:9-14] "I watched till thrones were put in place, and the Ancient of Days {our Father; Yahweh/Yehovah; Eternal Self Existent} was seated; His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning fire; a fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him. A thousand thousands ministered to Him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was seated, and the books were opened. "I watched then because of the sound of the pompous words which the horn was speaking; I watched till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame. As for the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time. I was watching in the night visions, and behold, One like the Son of Man, coming with the CLOUDS of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. Then TO HIM WAS GIVEN DOMINION AND GLORY AND A KINGDOM, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed. NKJV {also see Rev 7:9-12}

[Matt 24:30] Then (1a4)THE SIGN of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and THEY WILL SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN with power and great glory. NKJV

[Matthew 26:64] 64 Jesus said to him, "It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the CLOUDS of heaven." (Also see Mk 13:26; Mk 14:62)

[Revelation 1:7] Behold, He is coming with clouds, and EVERY EYE WILL SEE HIM, EVEN THEY WHO PIERCED HIM. And ALL the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.

(1a3) "all flesh":
[Gen 6:3] And the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh.

[Joel 2:28-29] "And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on ALL FLESH; {just} your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, {just} your old men shall dream dreams, {just} your young men shall see visions. And also on {just} My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.

[Acts 2:17-18] 'And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on ALL FLESH; {just} your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, {just} your young men shall see visions, just}. And on {just} My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

(1b) Romans 11:16-25: [NOTE: I have increased Jesus’ reference because it pertains to this particular Vision]

[Rom 11:1-32]
I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying, "LORD, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life"? But what does the divine response say to him? "I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal." Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but THE (1b1)ELECT HAVE OBTAINED IT, and THE REST WERE BLINDED. Just as it is written: "God has given them a spirit of stupor, EYES THAT THEY SHOULD NOT SEE AND EARS THAT THEY SHOULD NOT HEAR, to this very day."

And David says: " Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a recompense to them. Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see, and bow down their back always."

I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, TO PROVOKE THEM TO JEALOUSY, SALVATION HAS COME TO THE GENTILES. Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness! For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them. For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be BUT LIFE FROM THE DEAD?

For if the firstfruit {Christ} is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches {Israel} were broken off, and you, being a wild (1b2)olive tree {Gentiles converted}, were grafted in among them {Israel/Jew}, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the (1b2)olive tree, do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

You will say then, "Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in." Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches {Israel; Jews}, He may not spare you either. Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. And they also, IF THEY DO NOT CONTINUE IN UNBELIEF, WILL BE GRAFTED IN, for God is able to graft them in again. For if you were cut out of the (1b2)olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree {Jews; Israel}, HOW MUCH MORE WILL THESE, WHO ARE NATURAL BRANCHES, BE GRAFTED INTO THEIR OWN (1b2)OLIVE TREE?

For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that BLINDNESS IN PART HAS HAPPENED TO ISRAEL UNTIL THE FULLNESS OF THE GENTILES HAS COME IN {Feb18, July 11, Aug 8, 2007}. And so ALL ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED, as it is written: "The Deliverer will come out of (1b3)Zion, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob {Israel; Israel literally means Prince of God}; for this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins {through their promised Messiah/Christ}." Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience, even so these also have now been disobedient, THAT THROUGH THE MERCY SHOWN YOU THEY ALSO MAY OBTAIN MERCY. FOR GOD HAS COMMITTED THEM ALL TO DISOBEDIENCE, THAT HE MIGHT HAVE MERCY ON ALL.

(1b1) "elect":

Remember the verse that God gave me for Bev – the lady in my church? It said: [1 Cor 10:1-5] Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the (1a2)cloud, all {Hebrew/Israelite} passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the (1a2)cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. NKJV

(1b2) "oaks or olive trees":

OAKS:
[Isa 6:9-13] And He said, "Go, and tell this people {Israel}: 'Keep on hearing, but do not understand; Keep on seeing, but do not perceive {God}.' 10 "MAKE THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE DULL, AND THEIR EARS HEAVY, AND SHUT THEIR EYES; LEST THEY SEE WITH THEIR EYES, AND HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART, AND RETURN AND BE HEALED." Then I said, "Lord, how long?" And He answered: "Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant, the houses are without a man, the land is utterly desolate, the LORD has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land {as old Jerusalem in this Vision}. But yet a tenth will be in it, and will return and be for consuming, as a terebinth tree or as an oak, whose stump remains when it is cut down. So the Holy Seed shall be its stump."

OLIVE TREES:
[Jer 11:14-17] "So do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry out to Me because of their trouble. 15 "What has My beloved to do in My house, having done lewd deeds with many? And the HOLY FLESH has passed from you. When you do evil, then you rejoice. 16 The LORD called your name, Green Olive Tree, Lovely and of Good Fruit. With the noise of a great tumult He has kindled fire on it, and its branches are broken. 17 "For the LORD of hosts, who planted you, has pronounced doom against you for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke Me to anger in offering incense to Baal." NKJV

[Rev 11:1-6] Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, "Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there. 2 But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for IT HAS BEEN given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city {Jerusalem} underfoot for forty-two months. 3 And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth."

These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth. 5 And if anyone wants to harm them, fire {Holy Spirit Fire as God speaks through them} proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. 6 These have power {promised with the Holy Spirit} to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire. NKJV

(1b3) "Zion":

"... (fortification) - the city of David and the city of God. The meaning of the word Zion underwent a distinct progression in its usage throughout the Bible.

The first mention of Zion in the Bible is in 2 Sam 5:7: "David took the stronghold of Zion (that is, the City of David)." Zion, therefore, was the name of the ancient JEBUSITE fortress situated on the southeast hill of Jerusalem at the junction of the Kidron Valley and the Tyropoeon Valley. The name came to stand not only for the fortress but also for the hill on which the fortress stood. After David captured "the stronghold of Zion" by defeating the Jebusites, he called Zion "the City of David" (1 Kings 8:1; 1 Chron 11:5; 2 Chron 5:2).

When Solomon built the Temple on MOUNT MORIAH (a hill distinct and separate from Mount Zion), and moved the ark of the covenant there, the word Zion expanded in meaning to include also the Temple and the Temple area (Ps 2:6; 48:2,11-12; 132:13). It was only a short step until Zion was used as a name for the city of Jerusalem, the land of Judah, and the people of Israel as a whole (Isa 40:9; Jer 31:12). The prophet Zechariah spoke of the sons of Zion (Zech 9:13). By this time the word Zion had come to mean the entire nation of Israel.

The most important use of the word Zion is in a religious or theological sense.  ZION IS USED FIGURATIVELY OF ISRAEL AS THE PEOPLE OF GOD (ISA 60:14). THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF ZION IS CONTINUED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, WHERE IT IS GIVEN THE CHRISTIAN MEANING OF GOD'S SPIRITUAL KINGDOM, THE CHURCH OF GOD, THE (1c)HEAVENLY JERUSALEM (Heb 12:22; Rev 14:1; Sion, KJV)." (Copied from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary...)

(1c) "NEW SPIRITUAL (HEAVENLY) JERUSALEM":

[Gal 4:21-31] Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise {Spirit}, 24 which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar — 25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to {physical} Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children — 26 BUT THE {new} JERUSALEM ABOVE IS FREE {and Spirit}, WHICH IS THE MOTHER OF US ALL. 27 For it is written: "Rejoice, O barren, you who do not bear! Break forth and shout, you who are not in labor! For the desolate has many more children than she who has a Husband." 28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. 29 But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. 30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? "Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman." 31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free. NKJV

[Rev 21:1-5] Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the HOLY CITY, NEW JERUSALEM, COMING DOWN OUT OF HEAVEN from God, PREPARED as a Bride {Strong’s Concordance: also a son’s wife} adorned for her Husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." 5 Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful." NKJV

[Notice that the New Spiritual Jerusalem, as opposed to the old physical Jerusalem, "comes down from heaven" already "PREPARED as a Bride {or son’s wife} adorned for her Husband." Where was she prepared? Revelations 19:7-8 somewhat answers this question for us: "Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb HAS COME, and His WIFE HAS MADE HERSELF READY." 8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is THE RIGHTEOUS ACTS OF THE SAINTS. NKJV]

The Bible teaches us that as Jesus took your/our sins, He gave us/you His righteousness! NOW, while still here on earth, we are capable of, and should be, walking in Christ’s righteousness, or the righteous acts of the Saints. Right now is when we are REBORN by the "MOTHER OF US ALL, New, Heavenly Jerusalem and SPIRIT FILLED. Right now is when we are to practice, and become one with, the Bride/Wife as we walk in the "RIGHTEOUS ACTS OF THE SAINTS.   (2) "this is the graveyard between Mount of Olives and the (4)Golden Gate..." (+)
" As Jesus rode through the graveyard, I saw His right arm/hand point toward the graves. When He did the bodies rose from the dead, one by one, as He passed by and pointed at them:

(2) "this is the graveyard between Mount of Olives and the
(4)Golden Gate..." (+) " As Jesus rode through the graveyard, I saw His right arm/hand point toward the graves. When He did the bodies rose from the dead, one by one, as He passed by and pointed at them:

The graveyard I saw Jesus ride through is located in the (2a)Kidron Valley. It has also been called and named the Valley of Jehoshaphat. It is "... the ambition of every pious Jew to be buried {in this graveyard} on the slopes of this valley, TO BE AT HAND AT THE RESURRECTION. This, too, was an ordinary place for Jewish graves in preexilic times (2 Kings 23:6, etc). The valley today, especially that PART ADJACENT TO THE TEMPLE, is crowded with Moslem and Jewish graves..." (copied from E. W. G. Masterman; bibleatlas.org/valley_of_jehoshaphat.htm)

Again, I remind you of the verse that God gave me immediately after I saw this Vision? This becomes extremely important in understanding God’s full intent in giving us this Vision! [1 Cor 10:1-5] Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, (*)all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. NKJV

(*) "all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ":

Heb 11:11-16 By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised. 12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude — innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.   13 These {Israelite} ALL died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. 15 And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city {New Heavenly Jerusalem} for them.

THE FIRST TIME THE DEAD JEWS/ISRAELITES WERE RAISED FROM THE GRAVES & ENTERED OLD PHYSICAL JERUSALEM:

[Matt 27:50-53] And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit {from His cross}. Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the SAINTS {Jews; Israelites} who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves AFTER HIS RESURRECTION, they went into the holy city {old or new physical Jerusalem?} and appeared to many. NKJV

THE DEAD JEWS/ISRAELITES/ALL CONVERTS INTO THE MESSIAH/CHRIST RISE FROM THEIR GRAVES AGAIN - IN THE FUTURE:

[1 Cor 15:50-57] Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed — in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory." O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory? The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. BUT THANKS BE TO GOD, WHO GIVES US THE VICTORY THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.  

[1 Thess 4:15-5:1] For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord WILL BY NO MEANS PRECEDE THOSE WHO ARE ASLEEP. For the Lord Himself will descend {in the future} from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And (2b)THE DEAD IN CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST. THEN we who are alive and remain shall be caught up TOGETHER WITH THEM in the clouds TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.  

Remember that there are Muslims buried in the graveyard across from the Golden Gate. Were they raised from their graves with the others? I don’t know who was raised for sure. Jesus did not make it clear to me. In this Vision, I said, "The huge assembly/congregation were not visible for long, and I knew it was not God’s intention for me to really identify this group of children, other than those who had risen from their graves. I am not sure if those who rose from the graveyard, between the Mount of Olives and the Golden Gate, are the only bodies that rose. It is very possible that God restricted my view to these graves – which represent the final populace that may have come, or will come, from around the earth."

(2a) KIDRON VALLEY: Wikipedia teaches us, with regards to the Kidron Valley: "... is the valley on the eastern side of The Old City of Jerusalem which features significantly in the Bible..."

The Kidron Valley runs along the eastern wall of The Old City of Jerusalem, separating the Temple Mount from the Mount of Olives. It then continues east through the Judean Desert, towards the Dead Sea, descending 4000 feet along its 20 mile course. The settlement Kedar, located on a ridge above the valley, is named after it. The neighborhood of Wadi Al-Joz bears the valley's Arabic name.

At one time, the water of the Gihon Spring flowed through the valley, but it was diverted by Hezekiah's tunnel to supply water to Jerusalem...

"Since the 4th century A.D. the KIDRON ... valley has been named the Valley of Jehoshaphat. The tradition is now strongest among the Moslems who point out the exact scene of the Judgment; the Bridge As Sirat, dividing heaven and hell, is to stretch across this valley from the Charam area to the Mount of Olives ...

Jehoshaphat... "means "Yahweh judgeth," and `emeq, "wide," "open valley"... The name is used in Joel 3:2... (2a1)THE SCENE OF JUDGEMENT: "Let the nations bestir themselves, and come up to the (2a1)valley of Jehoshaphat; for there will I {our Father} sit to judge all the nations round about" (Joel 3:12). (2a1)"THE VALLEY OF DECISION" (OR "SHARP JUDGMENT") is another name the prophet gives to this spot (Joel 3:14)." (E. W. G. Masterman; copied from bibleatlas.org/valley_of_jehoshaphat.htm)

(2a1) "THE SCENE OF JUDGEMENT: Let the nations bestir themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there will I {our Father} sit to judge all the nations round about"... THE VALLEY OF DECISION":

[Joel 3:1-21] (God Judges the Nations ) "For behold, in those days and at that time, when I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and bring them down to the VALLEY OF JEHOSHAPHAT {Valley of Decision}; and I will enter into judgment with them there on account of My people, My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; they have also divided up My land... 6 Also the people of Judah and the people of Jerusalem you have sold to the Greeks {Gentiles}, that you may remove them far from their borders... 9 Proclaim this among the nations: "Prepare for war! Wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near, let them come up. Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, 'I am strong.'" Assemble and come, all you nations, and gather together all around. Cause Your mighty ones to go down there, O LORD. Let the nations be WAKENED, and come up to the VALLEY OF JEHOSHAPHAT {Valley of Decision}; for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations. Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, go down; for the winepress is full, the vats overflow — For their wickedness is great." {also read Rev 14:14-20}

Multitudes, multitudes in the VALLEY OF DECISION {Valley Of Jehoshaphat}! For the day of the LORD is near in the VALLEY OF DECISION {Valley Of Jehoshaphat}.

THE SUN AND MOON WILL GROW DARK, AND THE STARS WILL DIMINISH THEIR BRIGHTNESS. THE LORD ALSO WILL ROAR FROM ZION, AND UTTER HIS VOICE FROM JERUSALEM; THE HEAVENS AND EARTH WILL SHAKE; BUT THE LORD WILL BE A SHELTER FOR HIS PEOPLE, AND THE STRENGTH OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. SO YOU SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD {FATHER}, DWELLING IN ZION MY HOLY MOUNTAIN. THEN JERUSALEM SHALL BE HOLY, AND NO ALIENS SHALL EVER PASS THROUGH HER AGAIN." {also read Matt 24:29-31}

And it will come to pass in that day that the mountains shall drip with new wine, the hills shall flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah shall be flooded with water; a fountain shall flow from the house of the LORD and water the Valley of Acacias. "Egypt shall be a desolation, And Edom a desolate wilderness, because of violence against the people of Judah, for they have shed innocent blood in their land. BUT JUDAH SHALL ABIDE FOREVER, AND JERUSALEM FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION. FOR I WILL ACQUIT THEM OF THE GUILT OF BLOODSHED, WHOM I HAD NOT ACQUITTED; FOR THE LORD DWELLS IN ZION."

(2b) "THE DEAD IN CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST. THEN we who are alive and remain shall be caught up TOGETHER WITH THEM":
We are not told in 1 Thessalonians, how long it is/will be between the two events, "the dead in Christ will rise first", and "THEN we who are alive shall be caught up TOGETHER with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air". Why is this important? Because most of assume that these two events will immediately follow each other. 1 Cor 15:51-53 basically says this, "Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed — in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality."

(3) Ezekiel 37 (+) "we know it is the Holy Spirit who raises the dead, we know that these Beings were given God’s new SPIRITUAL LIFE, as in Ezekiel 37, as Christ pointed at them" (+) "raised the dead" (+) "they are the ‘dead in Christ’, or part of the dead in Christ, that will rise first" (+) "raised dead stood slightly above the ground and moved forward as an army behind Jesus":

[Rom 8:9-11] But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. NKJV {also see (3a)Acts 2:14-21, below}

(3a) [Acts 2:14-21]
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, "Men of Judea {Israelites} and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words. 15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. 16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17'And it shall come to pass (3a1) in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on ALL FLESH; {just} YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, {just} your young men shall see visions, {just} your old men shall dream dreams. 18 And {also} on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and {just} THEY SHALL PROPHESY {as opposed to ALL FLESH}. 19 I will show wonders in heaven above and signs in the earth beneath: blood and fire and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD. 21 And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.' NKJV

(3a1) "in the last days...I will pour out of My Spirit on ALL FLESH; YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams...":

Who is Peter speaking to? Men of Judea - Jews/Israelites! As he quotes Joel, who spoke to the Israelites, we read that God PROMISED to pour out His SPIRIT ON ALL FLESH! Not just the saved in Christ. That’s what it says!! However, there is a special blessing given to those who are God’s chosen people - those saved through Christ. That special blessing is, "I will pour out of My Spirit on... YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY {God will speak through them in their own language}, YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS. 18 And ON MY MENSERVANTS AND ON MY MAIDSERVANTS I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT IN THOSE DAYS; AND THEY SHALL PROPHESY.

Notice that God divided the people into two groups in Acts 2:14-21, "(1a3)all flesh" and Israel’s "sons and daughters", later called "My menservants and My maidservants". Why, in the LAST DAYS (vs 17), would God pour out His Spirit on ALL FLESH, whether they are believers or not? 1 Corinthians 12:3 answers this in part, saying, "Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one {speaking by the Spirit of God} can say that Jesus is Lord EXCEPT BY the Holy Spirit."

With regards to "all flesh" we are told that mankind is having the Holy Spirit poured out on their flesh SO THAT THEY CAN SAY JESUS IS LORD, and receive Christ’s Salvation! Keep in mind that on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2 all those who had the Holy Spirit speak through them, and most all listeners, if not all listeners, were Jewish/Israelites/Hebrews. Christ Jesus, Himself, is a Jew from the tribe of Judah, within the nation of Israel. Basically, GOD GAVE HIS PERMISSION FOR THE GENTILES to enter into Christ’s Body of Believers {Church} in Acts 10 through Peter’s vision. In other words, the Promises were made to Christ/Messiah through Abraham; at that time, the Gentiles were the late comers.

Israel’s/God’s "sons and daughters/menservants and maidservants: "If you have confessed that Jesus Christ is your Lord, you have already had God’s Holy Spirit poured out on your flesh. If you have confessed "Jesus is Lord", the Holy Spirit confirmed His presence as you heard Him speak through you. You may not have recognized the confession as the Holy Spirit speaking through you, but remember, NO ONE CAN SAY THAT JESUS IS LORD EXCEPT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Praise God! All who have confessed "Jesus is Lord" will, or do, prophesy; that is, hear God in their native language. They can also expect to see visions and dream dreams. In fact, speaking in tongues is never promised to God’s people; but prophesying is promised two times, and Visions and Dreams are promised to God’s people once.

EZEKIEL 37:
We find, that in Ezekiel 37, the word translated as "wind" and "breath" can also be translated SPIRIT.
Strong‘s Concordance of the Bible defines the Hebrew word ruwach as: "OT:#7307 ruwach... wind; by resemblance breath... life, anger... by resemblance SPIRIT, but only of a rational being...." This is true throughout the Old Testament. "Ruwach" IS THE MOST COMMON WORD TRANSLATED AS "SPIRIT" IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. You may also want to see #7308.

In reality it would be just as correct to translate the Hebrew word ruwach as SPIRIT every time it is used, at least in Ezekiel 37. This is what I have done below; in so doing, we receive a new understanding of God’s Vision through Ezekiel.

[Ezek 37:1-14] The hand of the LORD came upon me and brought me {Ezekiel} out in the Spirit of the LORD {our Father}, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. 2 Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry. 3 And He said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?"

So I answered, "O Lord GOD, You know." 4. Again He said to me, "Prophesy {God spoke thru him in his own language} to these bones, and say to them, 'O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! 5 Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: "Surely I will cause SPIRIT to enter into you, and you shall live <Jn 6:63; Rom 8:2-11; 2 Cor 3:6Gal 6:8>. 6 I will put {new} sinews on you and bring {new} flesh upon you, cover you with {new} skin and put SPIRIT in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the LORD."' 7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no SPIRIT in them. 9 (*)Also He said to me, "Prophesy to the SPIRIT, prophesy, son of man, and say to the SPIRIT, 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "Come from the four winds/SPIRIT(s), O SPIRIT/wind, and breathe on these slain, that they may live."' 10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and SPIRIT came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an EXCEEDINGLY GREAT ARMY.

(3b) Then He said to me, "Son of man, THESE BONES ARE THE WHOLE HOUSE OF ISRAEL {which includes Gentiles who are now in Christ}. They indeed say, 'Our bones are dry, OUR HOPE IS LOST, AND WE OURSELVES ARE CUT OFF!' 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "BEHOLD, O MY PEOPLE, I WILL OPEN YOUR GRAVES AND CAUSE YOU TO COME UP FROM YOUR GRAVES, AND BRING YOU INTO THE LAND OF ISRAEL {physical or Spiritual?}. 13 THEN YOU SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD, WHEN I HAVE OPENED YOUR GRAVES, O MY PEOPLE, AND BROUGHT YOU UP FROM YOUR GRAVES. 14 I WILL PUT MY SPIRIT IN YOU, AND YOU SHALL LIVE, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken it and performed it," says the LORD.'" NKJV]

(3b1) Ezekiel 37:11-14: Nelson’s Study Bible in their notes under Ezekiel 37:11-14 teaches, " The bones symbolize the whole house of Israel. This identification picks up on imagery already used: (1) those identified as dry or spiritually dead (see vv 2-5); (2) those identified as despondent and dejected, with no apparent hope of being "RESURRECTED" as the people of the living God; and (3) those described as disassembled and dispersed before being rejoined and rebuilt (see vv 6-10). The major thrust of this passage is the coming spiritual rebirth of God’s chosen people through the agency of His Spirit (see vv 15-28; 36:22-32). The spiritual rebirth would miraculously revive and restore human beings to what God had intended them to be in the beginning. The same body-breath sequence occurs in the creation of Adam (see Gen 2:7)."

Because God said "Ezekiel 37" as Jesus pointed to the graves and the dead rose, and because of Nelson’s Study Bible statement above, finally because this is what God has shown me as I have meditated on this Vision, we KNOW that as Jesus rose the dead in this Vision, He was speaking of the three groups referenced in Ezekiel 37:1-14, and listed in the above paragraph. He is showing that as this Vision occurs in real time, we will see "(1) those identified as dry or spiritually dead (see vv 2-5); (2) those identified as despondent and dejected, with no apparent hope of being "RESURRECTED" as the people of the living God; and (3) those described as disassembled and dispersed before being rejoined and rebuilt (see vv  6-10). The major thrust of this passage is the coming spiritual rebirth of God’s chosen people through the agency of His Spirit (see vv 15-28; 36:22-32). The spiritual rebirth would miraculously revive and restore human beings to what God had intended them to be in the beginning." Remember Jesus’ quoted statement, as He allowed us to see the old physical Jerusalem as He Himself sees it? He saw it as dead and dirty, and said, "This is not limited to the physical Israel, or Jerusalem, but also the dead who no longer wait for their Messiah/Christ to appear, saith the Lord, Amen." It was also an all inclusive statement.

As I said above, "God said through me, on both February 18 and July 11, 2007, "the time of the fullness of the Gentiles is complete, or fulfilled", meaning it was finished and done. At that time, He referenced Romans 11:16-25. During our daily communion on August 8, 2007, Jesus also said, "This morning the wild olive tree has been grafted back in"; He referenced Romans 11:16-24 again."

(*)Verse 9, above:
Did you notice that the Lord God spoke/prophesied to the {Holy} Spirit, directly through Ezekiel? Rarely does one read of this in the Bible. Normally, we would see/expect the Holy Spirit to speak through the holy prophet towards a human being, or perhaps an angel. In essence, we read that God our Father prophesied/spoke through His holy prophet, Ezekiel; and as He did so Ezekiel instructed God’s Holy Spirit as to God’s Will. This verse shows God’s command being given through His prophet to the third member in the Trinity, as the prophet ALLOWED God to speak through him. This is God’s will manifested on earth through His Holy Spirit, via a holy man. In Revelations 1:1-4 we read of a similar passing of the Word of God from one entity to another - Please see. Ezekiel goes on to say:

(3c)[Ezek 37:15-28]
Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 16 "As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: 'For Judah {Christ’s tribe} and for the children of Israel, {who are} his companions.' Then take another stick and write on it, 'For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and FOR ALL THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL {see Ezek 37:11}, and his companions.' 17 Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, and THEY WILL BECOME ONE in your hand.

18 "And when the children of your people speak to you, saying, 'Will you not show us what you mean by these?' — 19 say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "Surely I will take the stick of Joseph {the whole house of Israel}, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, {who are} his companions; and I will join them with it, with the stick of Judah {Christ}, and MAKE THEM ONE stick, and they will be ONE IN MY HAND."' 20 And the sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.

21 "Then say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; 22 and I WILL MAKE THEM ONE NATION in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and ONE KING SHALL BE KING OVER THEM ALL; they shall NO LONGER BE TWO NATIONS, NOR SHALL THEY EVER BE DIVIDED INTO (3d)TWO KINGDOMS AGAIN. 23 They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I WILL DELIVER THEM from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. Then THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE, AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD.

(3e)"David {Christ} My servant shall be king over them, AND THEY SHALL ALL HAVE (3f)ONE SHEPHERD; they shall also walk in My judgments and observe My statutes, and do them. 25 Then they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob My servant, where your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell there, they, their children, and their children's children, forever; and My servant David shall be their prince forever. 26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace {Christ is the Prince of Peace} with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them {Christ Jesus is the everlasting covenant}; I will establish them and multiply them, and (3g)I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore. 27 My tabernacle also shall be with them; indeed I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 28 The nations also will know that I, the LORD, sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst {MIDDLE/CENTER} forevermore."'" NKJV

(3c) [cont] Ezekiel 37:16-28 Adam Clarke’s Commentary
Ezekiel 37:16 - [Son of man, take thee one stick] The two sticks mentioned in this symbolical transaction represented, as the text declares, the two kingdoms of Israel and Judah, which were formed in the days of Rehoboam, and continued distinct till the time of the captivity. The kingdom of Judah was composed of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, with the Levites; all the rest went off in the schism with Jeroboam, and formed the kingdom of Israel. Though some out of those tribes did rejoin themselves to Judah, yet no whole tribe ever returned to that kingdom. Common sufferings in their captivity became the means of reviving a kinder feeling; and to encourage this, God promises that he will reunite them, and restore them to their own land; and that there shall no more be any divisions or feuds among them. To represent this in such a way as would make it a subject of thought, reflection, and inquiry, the prophet is ordered to take the two sticks mentioned above, to write on them the distinguishing names of the divided kingdoms, and then by a notch, dovetail, glue, or some such method, to unite them both before the people. He did so; and on their inquiry, showed them the full meaning of this symbolical action...

Ezekiel 37:19 - [The stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim] Jeroboam, the first king of the ten tribes, was an Ephraimite. Joseph represents the ten tribes in general; they were in the hand of Ephraim, that is, under the government of Jeroboam...

Ezekiel 37:22 - [I will make them one nation] There was no distinction after the return from Babylon. [And one king shall be king to them all] Politically speaking, they never had a king from that day to this; and the grand junction and government spoken of here must refer to another time-TO THAT IN WHICH THEY SHALL BE BROUGHT INTO THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH WITH THE FULLNESS OF THE GENTILES; when Jesus, the King of kings and Lord of lords, shall rule over ALL.

Ezekiel 37:24 - [And David my servant shall be King] That this refers to Jesus Christ, see proved, Ezek 34:23.

Ezekiel 37:25 - [The land that I have given unto Jacob my servant] Jacob means, here, the twelve tribes; and the land given to them was the whole land of Palestine; consequently, the promise states that, when they return, they are to possess the whole of the Promised Land.

Ezekiel 37:26 - [Covenant of peace] See this explained Ezek 34:25.

Ezekiel 37:27 - [MY TABERNACLE] JESUS CHRIST, THE TRUE TABERNACLE, IN WHOM DWELT ALL THE FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY. (from Adam Clarke's Commentary...)

(3d) "TWO KINGDOMS":
Jesus said, in Mark 3:24-26, "If a {also Christ’s} kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a {also God’s} house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand." NKJV

The definition of "evil" as in the "Tree of KNOWLEDGE of Good and Evil" is defined by Strong’s Concordance of the Bible as, "OT:7451 ra`... from OT:7489; bad or... evil...".

The Hebrew word that ra’ comes from gives us insight into God’s definition of "EVIL": OT:7489 ra`a`... to spoil (literally, by breaking to pieces); ... to make (or be) good for nothing, i.e. bad (physically, socially or morally)..." (Copied from New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary...)

(3e) "David {Christ} My servant shall be king over them":
See all of Acts 2:30-35
[Acts 2:30] Therefore, being a prophet {David}, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne..." {Also see Ps 132:10-18}

(3f) ONE SHEPHERD:
[John 10:11-16] "I am the good shepherd . The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. And OTHER SHEEP {Gentiles} I HAVE WHICH ARE NOT OF THIS FOLD {at that time, Jesus was speaking to the Jews/Israel, and the Gentiles/Christians had not been added in}; THEM ALSO I MUST BRING, and THEY WILL HEAR MY VOICE; AND THERE WILL BE ONE FLOCK AND ONE SHEPHERD {Christ}. NKJV

(3g) "I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore":
[Rev 21:22-26] But I SAW NO TEMPLE {with sanctuary} in it, for THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY AND THE LAMB ARE ITS TEMPLE. The city {new Jerusalem} had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. Its (4)gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). NKJV

(4) "GOLDEN GATE IN THE WALL AROUND JERUSALEM, ISRAEL":
"The Golden Gate can be found on the eastern wall of Jerusalem and below the Temple Mount. It faces the western slope of the Mount of Olives across the (2a)Kidron Valley. In the valley below is the road to Jericho and Bethany, the Garden of Gethsemane, and several famous first-century tombs."

WHY IS JERUSALEM’S GOLDEN GATE IMPORTANT
The free encyclopedia, Wikipedia, states: "...It is regarded as a Holy site for all faiths - Jewish (arrival of the Messiah) and Christian (entrance of Jesus on Palm Sunday {entrance the (4a)"prince" went/will go through}) and Muslim (site of future resurrection)..."

"The Golden Gate, as it is called in Christian literature, is the oldest of the current gates in Jerusalem's Old City Walls. (4b)ACCORDING TO JEWISH TRADITION, THE SHEKHINAH ... (DIVINE PRESENCE) {ALSO GLORY} USED TO APPEAR THROUGH THIS GATE, AND WILL APPEAR AGAIN WHEN THE MESSIAH COMES (4b)(Ezekiel 44:1–3) and a new gate replaces the present one; that is why Jews used to pray for mercy at the former gate at this location... Hence the name Sha'ar Harachamim... the Gate of Mercy. In Christian apocryphal texts, the gate was the scene of a meeting between the parents of Mary, so that Joachim and Anne Meeting at the Golden Gate became a standard subject in cycles depicting the Life of the Virgin. IT IS ALSO SAID THAT JESUS PASSED THROUGH THIS GATE ON PALM SUNDAY. In Arabic, it is known as the Gate of Eternal Life. In ancient times, the gate was known as the Beautiful Gate..."

Though the gate is sealed today, "in Jewish tradition, this is the gate through which the Messiah will enter Jerusalem. Ottoman Sultan Suleiman sealed off the Golden Gate in 1541 to prevent the Messiah's entrance. The Muslims also built a cemetery in front of the gate, in the belief that the precursor to the Messiah, Elijah, would not be able to pass through the Golden Gate and thus the Messiah would not come...

ACCORDING TO JEWISH TRADITION, THE MESSIAH WILL ENTER THROUGH THE GATE RIDING ON A WHITE (4c)DONKEY. EVER SINCE THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE THE JEWS PRAY HERE TO REBUILD THE GATE AND ALLOW THE SPIRIT OF GOD TO RETURN TO THE CITY, AND THE MESSIAH TO PASS THE GATE, ASKING FOR MERCY AND REVIVAL OF THE GATE (HENCE THE JEWISH NAME OF THE GATE: SHA'AR HARACHAMIM - GATE OF THE MERCY).

ACCORDING TO CHRISTIAN RELIGION, JESUS IS THE MESSIAH; ... HE ENTERED THROUGH THE GOLDEN GATE ON THE SUNDAY BEFORE PASSOVER ("PALM SUNDAY") RIDING ON A (4c)DONKEY, AN EVENT THAT FURTHER ANGERED THE JEWISH LEADERS AND EVENTUALLY LED TO THE CRUCIFIXION SEVERAL DAYS LATER.

... the Golden gate the oldest gate in the present walls..."

(4a) "prince": (Christ Our Prince of Peace)

[Acts 5:29-32] But Peter and the other apostles answered and said:"We ought to obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a tree. Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him." NKJV

[Ezek 44:1-4] (THE EAST GATE AND THE PRINCE)

Then He brought me {Ezekiel} back to the outer gate of the Sanctuary which faces toward the East, but it was shut. And the LORD said to me, "THIS GATE SHALL BE SHUT; IT SHALL NOT BE OPENED, AND NO MAN SHALL ENTER BY IT, BECAUSE THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL HAS ENTERED BY IT; THEREFORE IT SHALL BE SHUT. 3 AS FOR THE PRINCE, BECAUSE HE IS THE PRINCE, HE MAY SIT IN IT TO EAT BREAD BEFORE THE LORD {also as a Priest}; HE SHALL ENTER BY WAY OF THE VESTIBULE OF THE {eastern} GATEWAY, AND GO OUT THE SAME WAY."

Also He brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the temple; so I looked, and behold, THE GLORY OF THE LORD FILLED THE HOUSE OF THE LORD; AND I FELL ON MY FACE...

[Ezek 46:2-18] 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "The gateway of the inner court that faces toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the Sabbath it shall be opened, and on the day of the New Moon it shall be opened. 2 The Prince {Israel had a physical Prince also} shall enter by way of the vestibule of the gateway from the outside, and stand by the gatepost. The priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings. He shall worship at the threshold of the gate {also see Isa 60; Ps 118:-24-19}. Then he shall go out, but the gate shall not be shut until evening. 3 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the entrance to this gateway before the LORD on the Sabbaths and the New Moons. 4 The burnt offering that the prince offers to the LORD on the Sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram {older male sheep} without blemish... 10 THE PRINCE SHALL THEN BE IN THEIR MIDST {Middle; Center}. (4a)WHEN THEY GO IN, HE SHALL GO IN; AND WHEN THEY GO OUT, HE SHALL GO OUT... 12 "NOW WHEN THE PRINCE MAKES A VOLUNTARY BURNT OFFERING OR VOLUNTARY PEACE OFFERING TO THE LORD, THE GATE THAT FACES TOWARD THE EAST SHALL THEN BE OPENED FOR HIM; AND HE SHALL PREPARE HIS BURNT OFFERING AND HIS PEACE OFFERINGS AS HE DID ON THE SABBATH DAY. THEN HE SHALL GO OUT, AND AFTER HE GOES OUT THE GATE SHALL BE SHUT... 16 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "If the prince gives a gift of some of his inheritance to any of his sons, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance. 17 But if he gives a gift of some of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until the year of liberty, after which it shall return to the prince . But his inheritance shall belong to his sons; it shall become theirs. 18 Moreover the prince shall not take any of the people's inheritance by evicting them from their property; he shall provide an inheritance for his sons from his own property, so that none of My people may be scattered from his property...."NKJV

(4a) "when they go in, he {the Prince} shall go in; and when they go out, he shall go out... when the Prince makes a voluntary burnt offering or voluntary peace offering to the lord {our Father}, THE GATE THAT FACES TOWARD THE EAST SHALL THEN BE OPENED FOR HIM; and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings as he did on the Sabbath day. THEN HE SHALL GO OUT, AND AFTER HE GOES OUT THE GATE SHALL BE SHUT":

[Rev 3:7-12] "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia {love as brothers} write, "These things says He who is holy, He who is true, He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens: ‘I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie — indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. Because you have kept My command to persevere, (4a1)I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and HE SHALL GO OUT NO MORE. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.

(4a1) "I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth": This is the only church promised this in revelations! They are given this from Christ Jesus because they walk in "LOVE", "brotherly Love" as Christ, Himself, did and DOES! This is also the only Church, in revelations, given an "open door". To the Church of (Rev 3:14) Laodiceans He says, "I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me."

(4b) "ACCORDING TO JEWISH TRADITION, THE SHEKHINAH ... (DIVINE PRESENCE) {ALSO GLORY} USED TO APPEAR THROUGH THIS GATE, AND WILL APPEAR AGAIN WHEN THE MESSIAH COMES" (+) "(Ezekiel 44:1–3, above)":

(DEVINE PRESENCE/GLORY)
Ezekiel 40:1-5 & 43:1-12
(A New City, A New Temple)

{Ezek 40:1-5} In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was captured, on the very same day the hand of the LORD {God our Father} was upon me; and He took me there. 2 In the visions of God He took me into the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain; on it toward the south was SOMETHING LIKE the structure of a city {Jerusalem: old or new?}. 3 He took me there, and behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze. He had a line of flax and a measuring rod in his hand, and he stood in the gateway. 4 And the man said to me, "Son of man, look with your eyes and hear with your ears, and fix your mind on everything I show you; for you were brought here so that I might show them to you. Declare to the house of Israel everything you see." 5
Now there was a wall all around the outside of the temple...

(The Temple, the LORD's Dwelling Place)
{Ezek 43:1-12} Afterward he brought me to the gate {in the wall}, THE GATE THAT FACES TOWARD THE EAST. 2 and Behold, THE GLORY OF THE GOD OF ISRAEL CAME FROM THE WAY OF THE EAST. His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with his glory. 3 It was like the appearance of the vision which I saw — like the vision which I saw when I came to destroy the city. The visions were like the vision which I saw by the River Chebar; and I fell on my face. 4 And the glory of the LORD came into the temple by way of the GATE WHICH FACES TOWARD THE EAST. 5 THE SPIRIT LIFTED ME UP AND BROUGHT ME INTO THE INNER COURT; AND BEHOLD, THE GLORY OF THE LORD FILLED THE TEMPLE.

6 Then I heard Him speaking to me from the temple, while a man {He was with the LORD God Almighty - angel?} stood beside me. 7 And He {God} said to me, "Son of man, THIS IS THE PLACE OF MY THRONE AND THE PLACE OF THE SOLES OF MY FEET, WHERE I WILL DWELL IN THE MIDST {middle; center} OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FOREVER. No more shall the house of Israel defile My holy name, they nor their kings, by their harlotry or with the carcasses of their kings on their high places. 8 When they set their threshold by My threshold, and their doorpost by My doorpost, with a wall between them and Me, they defiled My holy name by the abominations which they committed; therefore I have consumed them in My anger. 9 Now let them put their harlotry and the carcasses of their kings far away from Me, AND I WILL DWELL IN THEIR MIDST {middle; center} FOREVER... 12 This is the law of the temple: The WHOLE AREA SURROUNDING THE MOUNTAINTOP IS MOST HOLY. Behold, this is the law of the temple...

(4c) "DONKEY":
Most Christians believe and teach that Jesus Christ will ride upon a white horse, rather than a donkey, when He returns as King:

JESUS CHRIST RODE A DONKEY:

[Matt 21:1-11] Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me. And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord has need of them,' and immediately he will send them." All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: "Tell the daughter of Zion {Jerusalem}, 'Behold, your King {Jesus Christ} is coming to you, lowly, and sitting on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey .'" So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them. They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them. And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the {palm} trees and spread them on the road. Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: "Hosanna to the Son of David! 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD {OT: Yahweh/Jehovah; Eternal Self Existent}!' Hosanna in the highest!" And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city {Jerusalem}, was moved, saying, "Who is this?" So the multitudes said, "This is Jesus, the Prophet from Nazareth of Galilee."

{DO NOT MISS READING THE FOLLOWING SCRIPTURES - GET READY TO PRAISE GOD, CHRIST AND HOLY SPIRIT!}

{MUST READ: Zech 8: thru 9:8} THEN read the following!!!

Notice in (the MUST READ, above) Zech 9:8, God said, "Now I have seen with My eyes". This is what Jesus was doing in old Jerusalem: He was here seeing with His eyes. Has He SPIRITUALLY appeared in your Church, your home etc as yet? I have seen Him myself many, many times recently, as have many that I know. He is here, has been here, surveying His army/troops!

[Zech 9:9-17] (The Coming King ) "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King {Christ} is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, LOWLY AND RIDING ON A DONKEY, A COLT, THE FOAL OF A DONKEY {before His crucifixion and resurrection}. I will cut off the chariot {instrument of warfare} from Ephraim and the horse {Christ is on His horse during this time!} from Jerusalem; the battle bow {instrument of warfare} shall be cut off. He shall speak peace to the nations; His dominion shall be 'from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.' "As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant {Christ}, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit {Jesus has done this}. Return to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you. For I have bent Judah, My bow, fitted the bow with Ephraim, and RAISED UP YOUR SONS, O ZION, against your sons, O Greece, and made you like the sword of a mighty man."

Then the LORD will be seen over them, and His arrow will go forth like lightning. The Lord GOD will blow the trumpet, and go with whirlwinds from the south. The LORD of hosts will defend them; they shall devour and subdue with clingstones. They shall drink and roar as if with wine; they shall be filled with blood like basins, like the corners of the altar. The LORD their God will save them in that day, as the flock of His people. for they shall be like the jewels of a crown, lifted like a banner over His land — For how great is its goodness and how great its beauty! Grain shall make the young men thrive, and new wine the young women. {also read: John 12:12-15}

[Zech 10:12] Ask the LORD for rain in the time of the latter rain. The LORD will make flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain, grass in the field for everyone. For the idols speak delusion; The diviners envision lies, and tell false dreams; they comfort in vain. Therefore the people wend their way like sheep; they are in trouble because there is no shepherd. My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the goatherds. FOR THE LORD OF HOSTS WILL VISIT HIS FLOCK, THE HOUSE OF JUDAH, AND WILL MAKE THEM AS HIS ROYAL HORSE IN THE BATTLE. FROM HIM COMES THE CORNERSTONE {Christ}, FROM HIM THE TENT PEG, FROM HIM THE BATTLE BOW {no arrows}, FROM HIM EVERY RULER TOGETHER. THEY SHALL BE LIKE MIGHTY MEN, WHO TREAD DOWN THEIR ENEMIES IN THE MIRE OF THE STREETS IN THE BATTLE. THEY SHALL FIGHT BECAUSE THE LORD IS WITH THEM, AND THE RIDERS ON HORSES SHALL BE PUT TO SHAME.

"I WILL STRENGTHEN THE HOUSE OF JUDAH, AND I WILL SAVE THE HOUSE OF JOSEPH. I WILL BRING THEM BACK, BECAUSE I HAVE MERCY ON THEM. THEY SHALL BE AS THOUGH I HAD NOT CAST THEM ASIDE; FOR I AM THE LORD THEIR GOD, AND I WILL HEAR THEM. THOSE OF EPHRAIM SHALL BE LIKE A MIGHTY MAN, AND THEIR HEART SHALL REJOICE AS IF WITH WINE. Yes, their children shall see it and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD. I will whistle for them and gather them, For I will redeem them; and they shall increase as they once increased.

I will sow them among the peoples, and they shall remember Me in far countries; they shall live, together with their children, and they shall return. I will also bring them back from the land of (*)Egypt, and gather them from Assyria. I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon, until no more room is found for them. He shall pass through the sea with affliction, and strike the waves of the sea: all the depths of the River shall dry up. Then the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and (*)the scepter of Egypt shall depart. "SO I WILL STRENGTHEN THEM IN THE LORD, AND THEY SHALL WALK UP AND DOWN IN HIS NAME," SAYS THE LORD.

Above, in Galatians 4:21-31, Paul told us, "Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is {old; physical}, and is in bondage with her children — 26 BUT THE {new} JERUSALEM ABOVE IS FREE, WHICH IS THE MOTHER OF US ALL". Because Paul included the then saved in Christ as part of the new Jerusalem, I am sure that Jesus is showing us the old physical Jerusalem in this Vision. Remember, I saw it in disrepair, dusty and dirty. We read/see that it is empty; and perhaps has been emptied by Him. We did not see the raised dead enter into this Jerusalem; and are safe in assuming they rose into New Jerusalem saved, Spirit filled Beings.

Unlike in Matthew 27:52-53, we do not see these risen dead enter into the "city", old Jerusalem. Instead we see Jesus standing/sitting in old Jerusalem by Himself on His white horse - as a conqueror. At the time this Vision takes place, Jesus is on earth to save, and/or baptize, and/or raise the Jews/Israelites, and perhaps all (?). I say this because, we read above, "blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so ALL Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The Deliverer will come out of Zion {Jerusalem}, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob {Israel}; for this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins {Christ is this covenant}."

Again, we also read that on February 18 and July 11, 2007, God said, "the time of the fullness of the Gentiles is complete, or fulfilled." At that time, He referenced Romans 11:16-25. During our daily communion, on August 8, 2007, Jesus also said, "This morning the wild olive tree has been grafted back in", and He referenced Romans 11:16-24 again.

Again, I would be so blessed if you send me God’s Word/Vison/Prophecy if and when you hear more.

(5) {This Vision showed} "Jesus rode His white horse through the {eastern} gate by Himself":

[Hos 3:4-5] For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, without ephod or teraphim. Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the LORD {Yahweh/Jehovah; Eternal Self Existent} their God and David {Christ} their king. They shall fear the LORD and His goodness in the latter days. NKJV

JESUS CHRIST RIDES / WILL RIDE A WHITE HORSE:
[Revelation 6:2] And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

[Revelation 19:11] Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. NKJV

(6) "{Jesus} stopped in the middle of Jerusalem":

As (6a)Jesus stopped in the middle, or center, of Jerusalem, I heard Him remind me that He and His Father are the finished Temple in the New Jerusalem {the Spirit; our Mother} – that drops down from Heaven.

"But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. The city {new Jerusalem} had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there) <Ezek 44:1-2, above>. And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it."
[Rev 21:22-26]

Remember, we were taught by Paul, in Galatians 5, that new "Jerusalem above is free, which IS THE MOTHER OF US ALL."

The following study/information was copied from askelm.com/temple/t001211.htm. I thank them for confirming God’s words to me with regards to His Temple, Himself, being located in the center of New Jerusalem.

"New Evidence for the Site of the Temple in Jerusalem (December 12, 2000)... The Temple Was Situated in the Center of Early Jerusalem on the Southeast Ridge {according to the original Pattern God gave Moses}

"... There is another simple way of showing the location of the original Temples. Josephus said that the "Lower City" which was once the site of the elevated Citadel (called the Akra or the City of David) was on a ridge shaped like a crescent moon. [17] That is, when one observed this ridge from the Mount of Olives, it appeared "crescent-shaped" in a north to south view and its "horns" pointed toward the Kidron Valley. The northern "horn" would have been near the present southern wall of the Haram esh-Sharif and the southern "horn" just north of the confluence of the Valley of Hinnom. The exact center of this "crescent-shaped" ridge would have been at the Ophel Mound directly over the Gihon Spring. Remarkably, we have an eyewitness account by Hecateus of Abdera written near the time of Alexander the Great that informs us that the Temple was located "nearly in the center of the city." [18] Coupled with this observation, we have other eyewitnesses in the Holy Scriptures telling us the same thing. Note, for example, Psalm 116:18,19 where it plainly states the Temple was located in the center of Jerusalem...

"I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people, in the courts of the Lord’s house [within the Temple], in the midst [center] of thee, O Jerusalem."

The Psalmist knew that the Temple (just like Hecateus of Abdera said) was located in the center of the City of Jerusalem. [In Hebrew, the English word rendered "midst" means "center" in geographical contexts and is so translated by several versions.] There are quite a number of texts within the Scriptures that reckon the Temple to be situated directly in the center of Jerusalem..."

[Copied from askelm.com/temple/t001211.htm; referenced material: [17] War V.4,1. The "crescent shape" can easily be seen on a map. It looked like a theater style configuration and the horns of the crescent were directed toward the spur ridge that was a part of the southern Mount of Olives. [18] Hecateus of Abdera, see Josephus Contra Apion I.22. [19] Ezekiel 37:26 & 28; also Ezekiel 48:10,15,21 (the Catholic New American Version correctly translates the Hebrew word as "center"); also see Zechariah 2:4,5; 8:3,8. These verses in context show that the biblical peoples knew that the Temple itself was positioned in the center of Jerusalem (in the center of "the crescent-shaped" City of Jerusalem) that was confined at that period solely in the southeast ridge.]"

(6a) Jesus stopped in the middle, or center, of Jerusalem:
As you will see, this is not the first time Jesus has taught us about positioning Himself within the middle of Jerusalem. On our Website, Chris Williams Ministry, God had me post the following vision; He also taught the following with regards to it. Please pay particular attention to Jesus as He moves into the middle of New Jerusalem, the Wedding Ring. I believe that there is a connection between what is seen in today’s vision, "February 6, 2011 - Jesus Christ Raises The Dead At The Golden Gate In Jerusalem (Vision)", and the excerpt from the following vision given on "February 11, 2007 - "Repetitive Vision With Jesus & Chris Walking" (Vision)", below. What do you think?

Please read the following excerpt, from a former vision: "February 11, 2007 - "Repetitive Vision With Jesus & Chris Walking" (Vision)".

"Today, February 11, 2007, while in one of the four repetitive visions, I came up the path and I reached the top of the hill, or mount. Our Father {not Jesus} said, "What do you see?" I saw, quickly, a golden Temple or building in the Heavenly Kingdom. It was covered with a brilliant yellow golden light all around it, which made the details very difficult to see. The building was huge due to the many wings, or building extensions.

[NOTE: On February 24, 2007, God told me that the huge building, or Temple, I had seen was actually the holy city, New Jerusalem. I have updated the balance of these visions to reflect this. This is why the Temple/building was so large in stature. Originally I had trouble seeing any of the details because the light was so bright around it. The object itself was light.]

I then saw, perceived, that the golden light and God’s city became one in the shape of a huge golden ring. The golden light and New Jerusalem {Christ’s Bride/Wife} became this ring as I stared at the city; God said, "It is the Wedding Ring". The tree, that had previously been to my left {and then right and vise versa} on the path that Jesus and I walked together, appeared in the center of the ring as I stared at the city. The ring was as large as the city had been. Jesus was no longer by my side, and I heard a voice say, "Tree of Life. The "tree" that once stood beside the path Jesus and I walked on, now stood in the middle of the "Wedding Ring", New Jerusalem, Christ’s Wife and Bride. God said the "tree" was/is the "Tree of Life", Christ Jesus.

 The Tree Of Life, Christ Jesus, positioned Himself in the middle of the Wedding Ring, which was originally the city, New Jerusalem. It was at this point, that God told me that the Temple I had seen at first, was actually in the CITY; and the city I saw was New Jerusalem. In essence, God is showing us that Christ Jesus, who is the eternal Tree of Life, Temple, His Body, has now positioned Himself within the covenant "Wedding Ring", New Jerusalem, His Bride/Wife, and Church. We see that in this Vision, the Temple, Christ's Body membership, is completed; and Christ is present as Himself, the eternal Tree of Life. We are gazing at God's Kingdom <Lk 17:21>.

[NOTE: Did you notice, above, that New Jerusalem, Christ’s Bride/Wife/Church has embodied/embraced/encircled Christ, even though Christ "positioned Himself" in the middle of Her, the Wedding Ring"?... (Not included here - The original vision goes on to show/explain why this is so important.)
