While praying, and just before communion, I saw Christ’s
Body coated in the blue water (of the ephod) again. See
"Beings
From Heaven and Earth Baptized as One; August 1, 2013"
As I
saw this, I also heard God’s voice say, “(1)Embryo.
This is the embryo of the Priesthood that is not only
under our High Priest Jesus Christ,
but
is
(1a)now given form and
the beginning of birth.”
“This blue robe,” saith God, “is under the
(2)Breastplate
of Judgment;
and it sits over Christ’s one Body and Wife, which are seen
combined and truly One in this vision."
In today's Vision, "The Embryo of Christ's
Priesthood (Vision); January
16, 2014", those dressed in the blue ephod are covering
Christ's Wife/Bride/
Spiritual Church along with Christ.
They are all within Christ’s, our High Priest's, one Spiritual Body.
In fact, they are so "one" with,
and within, Him that we can say that
(3)they have been
absorbed into Him through this water baptism. (4)These
priests are ministering, and will continue to minister, to
God our Father with Christ. In this vision, Christ is seen as one with
His Wife. They
are also seen covered by the blue ephod, CHRIST'S HOLY PRIESTS.
These are shown in Heaven because this is the new SPIRITUAL
Church being formed within Christ’s Wife. Christ's one Body
is the one finished, completed Temple; and this final
congregation, Christ's SPIRITUAL Wife, is this
new SPIRITUAL priesthood. This Wife, Christ’s one
SPIRITUAL Church and final Congregation, is one with God our Father, Christ, and
the Holy Spirit.
She is SPIRITUAL and HOLY.
The Holy Spirit moves, even now, through Her; and comes in massive magnitude upon the earth through
those in Heaven. This life,
EMBRYO,
is formed/born into the many members chosen for Christ’s
Priesthood under Christ our High Priest over all things.
"Healing in all manner comes now through God’s appointed
Priests, and is only one gift given to those chosen to stand
and kneel directly in front of God Almighty and
(4)minister to
Him in and through My Spirit," saith Christ your High Priest.
"KNOW YOUR PRIESTHOOD AS
THESE
WORDS GRAB YOUR HEART IN MY OWN JOY (see Heb. 12:1-2).
See this embryo COVERED and protected in the HOLY
blue Ephod worn by Christ Himself, your High Priest.
See it often; see Him often; see them often.
See and seek now, Christ, Amen."

(1) "Embryo":
(1a)"this
is the embryo of the Priesthood" ...
"now given form and the beginning of
birth":
[copied from
Pulpit Commentary at
http://biblehub.com/2_samuel/6-14.htm]
With regards to
David dancing in the ephod, Pulpit
Commentaries states, "...
Dancing was usually the office of the women
(Exodus
15:20; Judges
11:35; Judges
21:21; 1
Samuel 18:6);
but men may also have often taken part in
it, as Michal's objection was that it was
unbefitting a king. David
was girded with a linen ephod. David
wore this as a tightly fitting garment,
which left him free to exert himself in the
dance. So far from the use of it
being an assumption of the
priestly office,
it was regarded by Michal as an act of
humiliation, as it
WAS A DRESS WORN
BY A CHILD WHEN ADMITTED TO SERVICE IN A
PRIEST'S FAMILY (1
Samuel 2:18)..." |
I found Jesus’ use of the word
“embryo” rather unusual at first.
Then God’s Holy Spirit reminded me of the letter,
January 29
“My Bride, My Wife, Our Guests” in our new book,
Christ's Love Letters, in which Jesus also speaks
about a “fetus.”
Though the word
“fetus” and “embryo” are not one in the same word, Jesus
said the following about the “fetus” in this love letter:
|
January 29
“My Bride, My Wife, Our Guests”
“The Bride holds the faith that all her needs
are now met (see Phil. 4:19).
Her Husband [Christ] has given her this faith through His past
performance, Amen, saith the LORD God Amen.
When she looks at Me, I am all.
As I look at her I see Eternity.
I see a new Life.
Together we have created a New Life.
This New Life, though conceived, will not be
delivered into an evil world.
Though the
(1b)fetus of Eternal Life has been formed in the belly of the
Bride, the Wife, saith the Lord, the Eternal Life is
delivered as a present to the Bride at the Wedding Supper.
Who are the guests at the Wedding?
They are those who will come to know the Family of
Jesus Christ, Amen Amen and again Amen (see Eph. 3:14-19)."
|
Embryo (cont):
Noun: " … the
reproductive cycle, the stage after the fertilization of the
egg that precedes the development into a
(1b)fetus;
An organism in the earlier stages of development before it
emerges from the egg, or before
(1c)metamorphosis…;
In humans, usually the cell growth up to the end of the
seventh [is a sacred
number] week in the mother's body;
a rudimentary plant contained in the seed;
the
beginning; the first stage of anything.”
(Copied
from Wiktionary)
(1b) “fetus”:
Noun:
"A
bearing, birth, bringing forth; offspring, young,
progeny; fruit, produce."
(1c) "metamorphosis":
Noun: "... (1c1)a transformation...;
a noticeable change
in character, appearance, function or condition;
(biology) a change in the form and often the habits
of an animal after the embryonic stage

"transformation; the
transformation of a caterpillar into a
butterfly:
I have
copied a short excerpt from our new book,
Christ's Love
Letters
,
April 18 "My Little Butterfly"
"When the
butterfly begins to emerge from the cocoon
as a completely new creation, it exits into
the same atmosphere that it has always lived
in.
All change
has been internal.
Now, the
once earth bound insect can fly.
It is
free.
It has
become another of God's creations.
Its fuzzy,
fury coat of protection is gone.
It is now
free and no longer earth bound, saith the
Lord.
Give yourself the
same freedom.
Adjust
slowly to your own newness within Me.
I have
converted you into another use, saith the
Lord.
As a
caterpillar you were within yourself.
As a
butterfly you are free to float from one
trapped stationary flower to another, gather
pollen on your feet, and move from place to
place multiplying and spreading rebirth,
saith the Lord...
In love, I have
freed you from the world of belongings.
As I
changed the caterpillar's name to butterfly,
so I have changed your name to Mine, saith
the Lord.
You now
freely travel from place to place as My new
creation and in My Name.
Leave
behind all the old habits that you possessed
as the caterpillar.
Do not
forsake your ability to fly, Children.
Fly in
your freedom now (see Gal. 5:1).
As the
butterfly stands in a glory the caterpillar
never knew, so do you...
Yes, My little butterfly flies ever
homeward, saith the Lord, Amen Amen and
again Amen. The butterfly does not fear her
new found flight, nor does she regret
leaving her old worldly caterpillar body and
life behind, saith the Lord. Turn your eyes
away from the cocoon and debris that the old
left behind on the tree, your cross (see
Matt. 16:24; Acts 10:39)...
Love the newness
that I have given you.
Embrace
your separation from worldly pursuits.
Look all
temptation in the eye knowing that I have
already overcome it for you.
You are
not tested because I have already completed
the test for you.
I am
completed within you, Children.
Leave the
old behind now.
You are
not obligated to mourn over the cocoon."

God has also been speaking to me
about the one half hour that is prophesied in
Revelation 7:9-17
thru 8:6:
After
these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which
no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and
tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb
[Christ], clothed
with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,
and crying out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation belongs
to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!" All the
angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four
living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne
and worshiped God, saying:
"Amen! Blessing
and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and
might, be to our God forever and ever Amen."
Then one of the
elders answered, saying to me, "Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?"
And
I said to him, "Sir, you know."
So he said to me,
"These are the ones
who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their
robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve
[minister to Him,
God our Father (as priests?)]
Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the
throne will dwell among them. They shall neither hunger
anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them,
nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne
will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of
waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
When He opened the
seventh
[sacred number]
seal,
there was silence
in heaven for ABOUT HALF AN HOUR.
And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them
were given seven trumpets. Then
another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the
altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it
with (*)the prayers
of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the
throne. And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of
the saints, ascended before God from the angel's hand.
Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the
altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises,
thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.
So the seven
angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to
sound. NKJV
Notice in Revelation 7:9-17
thru 8:6, above, the half hour is mentioned.
God has confirmed within
this last month that His people are now within this half
hour.
God has made reference to
this same one half hour a couple of other times
through me:
The first time was in the
February 17, 2007
"People Are Added To The Tree Of Life" (Vision).
The following are excerpts taken from this one continuing Vision
that was given to me by God's Holy Spirit over 4 days:
|
"[NOTE: This teaching is part
of a series of visions and lessons given to Chris Williams
by God in February 2007. They were given for a specific
reason. This reason becomes very clear as you read them one
by one. The visions were given to me on several
separate days, but are best read together if possible... February
4, 11, 16, 17, 18 and Updates and Summary.]
|
…New
Jerusalem was still very
much in the distance, and there were millions of people
(more than I could see). The cover resembled a huge bed
sheet or tablecloth. Our
Father reached out and took the edges of this cover and
pulled it toward Himself/us as we sat on His throne.
As He did, it
covered all the people.
The city [New Jerusalem] and our Father sat at the same height, and I
believed the people at the bottom of the throne were on
earth. He lowered the cover so that it was literally on top
of the people. (*)It sat
there for a while.
I believed that God had covered the people, and had placed
them in the original open sided Tabernacle from the Old
Testament. God did not explain what I was looking at, but I
felt that we were in the Holy of Holies…
|
NOTE:
(*) "It
sat there for a while": As
the cover sits on top of the people "for a while", there is
a lapse in time between the two tents. In fact, the reason
God leaves the cover on top of the people "for a while" is
to emphasis the actual lapse in time in this vision.
All
the people under this cover are saved, and all people are
within Christ’s "ONE" eternal congregation. The time lapse
mentioned in the words, "it sat there a while"
indicates a difference in time
that BRINGS THE BIRTH OF THE NEW PEOPLES INTO THE
OLD CONGREGATION. On
April 9, 2007 God explained that when He said "It {the
cover} sat there for a while", He was
referring to the one
half hour in Revelations 8:1:
When He opened the seventh
seal, there was silence in heaven for
about half an hour.
And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them
were given seven trumpets. Then another angel, having a
golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given
much incense, that he should offer it with the (*a)prayers
of all the saints upon
the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke
of the incense, with the (*a)prayers
of the saints,
ascended before God from the angel's hand. NKJV.
Please remember this cover, or
canopy, covered/covers two groups, and there is
one half hour
in between the two groups...
[EXTRA NOTE
ADDED 4/13/2014: God has said that this one half
hour time frame is closing now and that He is in a
very accelerated period of preparation with and for
His people. This preparation is not limited to
but certainly centered around qualified Spiritual
worship which comes through and from God's one
shared heart within each Holy Spirit filled Child of
God. Jesus is Spiritually preparing His Holy
Priests within this generation to worship God
Almighty. The Old Testament priests serve as
our physical example of this NEW Worship.
These Children, now Priests within God's holy
nation, will worship and minister directly to God
our Father as God's Spirit speaks through them in
the "unspeakable Word(s)" once spoken only in heaven
(and should not be mixed up with the Spiritual
speaking in tongues or various languages/the
language of men and angels. Paul knew and
recognised this language when he said that he went
into Paradise, and in fact spoke this himself).]
|
[(*a) "prayers
of all the saints": Previously,
in this Vision, I commented on
the intensity of the prayers
of those on their knees in "one accord" prayer, or spiritual
battle [as Christ's priests, ministering to
God our Father]. Remember, they are on earth. Where do the prayers
come from? These are the Saint’s prayers (see Rev. 8:1,
above). But where are the
Saints located? I feel they are from saints
[priests under Christ, their High Priest] in heaven and on
earth. I believe those still on earth are the ones on their
knees uncovered, and shown in intense spiritual warfare [as
Christ's priests, intercessors, and
advocates]."
|
|
[END OF EXCERPT]
And more recently, Jesus
commented on this same half hour in the Vision: “Christ Marries His Wife
and Spiritual Church (Vision seen in Heaven); October 2013.
|
Jesus said
that, “... He
[Christ] moved her [His Wife, Spiritual Church] around in back of Him[self]."
I then said on November 4, 2013, with regards to the one
half hour: "God has been discussing with me
why He moved His Wife/Bride/Spiritual Church around in back
of Him[self] before moving Her to His right hand side. He
said that He did this to protect her. Jesus said that this
occurs during the
half hour REST in Heaven.
Again, Revelation 8:1-6 says:
When He opened the seventh seal, there
was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I
saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were
given seven trumpets. Then another angel, having a golden
censer, came and stood at the altar [in heaven]. He was given much
incense, that he
should offer it
with the prayers of ALL the Saints
upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the
smoke of the incense,
with the prayers of the saints,
ASCENDED before God from
the angel's hand. Then the angel took the censer, filled it
with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth
[where they are badly needed]. And
there were noises, thunderings,
lightnings, and an earthquake. So the seven angels who had
the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. [NKJV]"
|
[END OF EXCERPT]
[NOTE April 13, 2014: In early
2014 I heard, and God confirmed, that I heard the first of
the SPIRITUAL "trumpets" mentioned in Revelations 8:1-6
while in prayer:
"When He opened the seventh seal,
there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 And I
saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were
given seven trumpets. 3 Then another angel, having a golden
censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much
incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the
saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4
And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the
saints, ascended before God from the angel's hand. 5 Then
the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the
altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises,
thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 So the
seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves
to sound.
NKJV]"
(*) "the prayers of all saints upon the golden alter
which was before the throne" (see Rev. 7:9-17 thru
8:6, above, or in your Bible): You may also want to
read: Susan O'Marra's, "The Vision of The Circular Prayer
Alter" at www.intheimageofhisglory.com or Openheaven.com
Then on November 8, 2013 in the
Vision,
"I Saw
The Universe From
Within
Christ"
we read:
|
“I [Chris]
then heard Him [Christ] say, “I am your Husband, and I want
you
to REST (see Hosea 2:4-23; Rev. 21:2-4; Rev. 19:7-8). I
want you to REST now
(see Heb. 4:9-10)…” As
He said this I realized that this is a time of REST, and
that this
is the one half hour referred to in Revelations 7:93-17 thru
8:1-6 (also seen above).
This Vision and its Interpretation went on to say, “…
However, the
"REST" within this
Vision/Visitation is different. I [Chris] have never had Him
[Jesus] tell
me so many numerous times, within a Visitation or Vision,
that I/we are to REST [within Him and His care]. Because
we know
what
happens after this one half hour of heavenly
[SPIRITUAL] REST
(read at least Rev. 8-11) we are
being given a great gift. Our
God is preparing His people for the events that will
transpire
after
the one half hour is over. Notice,
in the scripture above,
the one half
hour is a Heavenly
REST as well as physical. God
is saying “REST” so that you/I/we are prepared according to
His will. Cease from the cares of the world and REST within
His care NOW!...”
|
[END OF EXCERPT]
I personally believe that the two
words, embryo and fetus, are used by Jesus in order to show
us that this birth is
both progressive and is within us, His people.
(2)
"Breastplate of Judgment":
We cannot begin to understand the Breastplate of Judgment
without understanding the role the “High Priest” within
God’s congregation.
"Consecration. A high priest was
consecrated (installed in office) by an elaborate
seven-day
[holy number]
service at the tabernacle or Temple (Ex 29; Lev 8:1). He was
cleansed by bathing [water baptism/washing of their
flesh], then dressed in the garments and
symbols he must wear in his ministry
[to God Almighty] and anointed with
special oil. Sacrifices of sin offering, burnt offering, and
consecration offering were made for him; and he was anointed
again with oil and blood [as we are in Christ] of the sacrifice. Thus "sanctified"
to serve as a priest and "consecrated" to
(3a)offer sacrifice
(Ex 28:41; 29:9), he became "the saint of the
Lord" (Ps 106:16).
Dress. The
high priest's special
dress represented his function as mediator between God and
man [intercessor; also an advocate for God's people; like
Christ]. Over the trousers, coat, girdle, and cap, worn by all
priests, the high priest wore an EPHOD, a two-piece apron
reaching to his hips, made of royal [Kingly] colors (blue, purple,
and scarlet), and sewed with gold thread. By two onyx stones
bearing the names of the twelve tribes of Israel fastened to
the shoulders of the ephod,
he brought the whole nation
before God in all his priestly acts (Ex 28:5-14).
The
"breastplate of
judgment," made of the same material was attached to the
front of the ephod (Ex 28:15-30).
On its front were
12 precious stones engraved with the names of the 12 tribes.
In its pocket,
directly over his heart, were the URIM AND
THUMMIM
(Ex 28:30),
the medium through which God could communicate His will. By this
the high priest was Israel's
advocate before God and God's spokesman to them
[as Christ and His Holy Spirit are today].
Over the breastplate he wore the
(2a)blue
"robe of the ephod"
(Ex 28:31). Around its hem were pomegranates, pointing to
the divine law as sweet and delicious spiritual food
(Duet.
8:3), and bells that would ring as he went "into the holy
place before the Lord...that he may not die" (Ex 28:35). The
bells announced God's gracious salvation for
He had accepted
the people in the person of their advocate, the high priest [who is now Christ].
On his forehead the high priest wore
"the holy crown" of gold engraved with the words, "Holiness
to the Lord" (Ex 28:36-37). Thus he was represented as
bearing "the iniquity of the holy things" (Ex 28:38) which
Israel offered to God and crowned mediator, making atonement
for the [one] nation so God might accept their gifts and show them
favor [like Christ].
All these garments stood for
the "glory and beauty" (Ex 28:40) which God placed upon his
priests, sanctifying them to
minister in His name
(Ex 28:3)…"
(3) "they have been absorbed
[consumed] into Him
through this water baptism":
[Below is an excerpt from our new
book,
Christ's Love Letters" ;
February 1 "Spend Quiet Time With Me
Daily"]
"...
Allow Me to
consume [absorb]
you within Myself.
I am Light, all Light now and forever.
Today, begin to walk with Me in the peace and
rest that Eternity brings.
I AM He, Amen Amen and again Amen.
Love sees only Christ.
Love inhales and exhales only Christ.
Love is all that I am, Amen.
Do not consider the cares which satan brings
before you daily.
Instead, turn toward Me and stand face to
Face with Me.
Look into My Face and see My personal love
for you, and you alone.
Now see that we are indeed one and that we
are all in all, Amen (see Eph. 1:22-23).
Christ, who is your love toward others:
toward all the saved and unsaved, Amen."
(4) "minister to Him [God Almighty;
God our Father] in and through My Spirit":
[Ex
28:1-2 ] "Now take Aaron [High
Priest] your {Moses']
brother, and his sons with him, from among the
children of Israel,
that he may minister to Me as
priest, Aaron and Aaron's sons: Nadab, Abihu,
Eleazar, and Ithamar. 2 And you shall make holy
garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for
beauty. NKJV
[Ex 29:43-46] And there I will
meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle
shall be sanctified by My glory. 44 So I will
consecrate the tabernacle of meeting and the altar.
I will also consecrate both Aaron and his sons to
minister to Me as priests. 45 I will dwell among the
children of Israel and will be their God. 46 And
they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who
brought them up out of the land of Egypt, that I may
dwell among them. I am the Lord their God. NKJV
[Deut 10:8-9] At that time the Lord separated
the tribe of Levi to bear the ark of the covenant of
the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister to
Him and to bless in His name, to this day. 9
Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with
his brethren; the Lord is his inheritance, just as
the Lord your God promised him.) NKJV
[1
Chron 15:2] Then David said, "No one may carry the
ark of God but the Levites, for the Lord has chosen
them to carry the ark of God and to
minister before
Him forever."
NKJV
[1 Chron
23:13-15] The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and
Aaron was set apart, he and his sons forever, that
he should sanctify the most holy things, to burn
incense before the Lord,
to minister to Him, and to
give the blessing in His name forever. 14 Now the
sons of Moses the man of God were reckoned to the
tribe of Levi. NKJV
[Jer 33:19-22] And the
word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, 20 "Thus
says the Lord: 'If you can break My covenant with
the day and My covenant with the night, so that
there will not be day and night in their season, 21
then My covenant may also be broken with David My
servant, so that he shall not have a son to reign on
his throne, and with the Levites, the priests, My
ministers. 22 As the host of heaven cannot be
numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured,
so will
I multiply the descendants of David My servant and
the Levites [Levites]
who minister to Me.'" NKJV
[Heb 8:1-6] Now this is the main point of the things
we are saying: We have such a High Priest
[Christ], who is
seated at the right hand of the throne of the
Majesty in the heavens, a Minister
[Christ] of the
sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord
erected, and not man. For every high priest is
appointed to offer both gifts and (3a)sacrifices.
Therefore it is necessary that this One also have
something to offer. For if He were on earth, He
would not be a priest, since there are priests who
offer the gifts according to the law; who serve
the copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses
was divinely instructed when he was about to make
the tabernacle. For He said, "See that you make all
things according to the pattern shown you on the
mountain." But now He
[Christ] has obtained a more
excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator
of a better covenant, which was established on
better promises. NKJV |
