“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” (Psalm 91:1). The shadow of the Almighty is the covering of the Almighty. A shadow is a shade over something, just like the Cherubims of glory cover the Throne (Heb. 9:5). Another word for shadow is a covering cast (Isa. 25:7). The Cherubims depicted this in the way they cover the mercy seat. All they are doing is creating a cast – a covering. When there is a cast, there is a trust for those beneath (Ps. 91:4).
“I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.” (Ps. 91:2). There are believers who only consider the physical body of man when referring to fortification and salvation; they do not regard the soul. However, this scripture refers to the protection of man’s entire being – spirit, soul and body. This is the end of salvation. A man who is at this point has the honour to be sealed completely because he dwells in the secret place of the Most High.
“Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.” (Ps. 91:3). The fowler is the dragon which stops birds from flying. The fowler stops a man from flying in the realm of the spirit. Man depicts the bird that the fowler wants to stop from flying by making him remain carnal.
“He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.” (Ps. 91:4). Feathers are an extension of arms. Wings alone are not enough; feathers are also needed. Feathers are an attachment to the flesh of the wings and they help an animal take off in flight, cover its young ones and gather them under itself for protection. As such, the wings of God are the protective stretch or expanse of God.
Cherubims are dangerous; they can both protect and kill. This can be seen in Satan who is using what he ought to use in guarding beings to kill them, and no one can break through his covering without being helped by God. No human can undo the expanse of his wings. The spreading of his wings is the expansion of himself. Winged creatures who behave this way do so because of the secret laws that they have. Their behaviour is found in the law of expansion.
There is a pride in every bird, which is the height advantage it has over every other creature. It does not want to be caught because it does not want to be brought low. When a bird takes off in flight, it sees (looks upon) other creatures as low. The fowler is a bird that does not want other birds to fly. What God is using to protect His children are His thoughts. God's wings are His thoughts in the form of truth and buckler. Truth is a shield while buckler holds one up (Ps. 91:4). Feathers are also a pile of thoughts in the extended arms of God. Thus, when God extends His arms, He is projecting His thoughts for the covering of souls. When we are being taught the laws or thoughts of God, it is to protect us from the plan of the enemy that has been on ground for ages.
The shape of a wing is a corner piece. The sign of a wing is the sign of God’s name. Wings look like the letter “L”, which means “Lord” or “Elohim” (the name of God). This is what God attached to the body of some creatures just to describe Himself (Rom. 1:20).
Everybody has a beast. Your beast is your everlasting creature which you must kill. A beast in this sense is not a physical creature; it is an evil law in a person. One whose pillars have not been hewed will be unable to kill his beast. You cannot kill your beast without being taught by the seven Spirits of God which are evidenced in the two works (first and last works) of God. This is how a soul will be furnished with life. To furnish the table of a man's soul is to dress it with life.
“And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.” (Rev. 12:5). The man-child was caught up to God and His throne because the dragon wanted to kill him. The dragon here is not necessarily a physical dragon; it depicts a being with the laws of a dragon. The laws inside such a being are beastly. This means the dragon wanted to devour the man-child company through such laws.
There would not be a physical dragon wanting to devour a physical child; the Scripture is only using physical attitudes to describe something spiritual. The dragon can eat up a man even though he is still alive. This is why we are told to be sober and vigilant because our adversary the devil is walking about looking for whom to devour (1 Pet. 5:8).
When someone walks out from among the flock of God, such a person has been devoured – he has been eaten up. A flock can be going about its normal daily activities but may have been devoured. In the face of God, such a person is lost or taken by Satan. Satan uses his life (via his laws) to devour a man. If Satan provides a life and a flock enters into it, the life of God in that flock can be swallowed up. Evil spirits can devour the life of Christ in a man; but it will take the law of the dragon to completely take a man away from God.
One who has an evil heart of unbelief and wants to depart from the living God is being devoured (Heb. 3:12). As such, the departure of a man from the living God means he is devoured from the living God. There is a kind of devouring from which a man can still be recovered; but a man is irrecoverable if the dragon devours him. The frame of a sheep who has not been fully devoured can still be reproduced (brought back) when his hears are exposed to the hearing of the word.
“And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.” (Isaiah 25:7). Satan devours by his thoughts. Thought is life. When the adversary spreads himself by casting a shadow, it is because he wants to devour. The covering cast upon people is a devouring posture upon men. Satan has devoured men for ages and he is still feeding on souls. However, a time will come when some souls will stand against him and prevent him from devouring them.
The man-child did not leave the earth physically; he was caught up to a higher life that Satan could not do anything about. Satan will war with a man who has everlasting life. However, a man can overcome Satan by the blood of the Lamb and the testimony of Jesus (Rev. 12:11). Jesus used the testimony and the life of God to overcome Satan. This is how Satan will be brought down from his vantage position as a dragon to a serpent, by the man-child company. This means just as Jesus brought the dragon down to the level of the serpent, His brothers will also do the same (Rev. 12:9).
“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” (2 Cor. 3:18). The Lord in this verse is not Christ; it is the Lord of the Most Holy Place. “Spirit” here is not the seven Spirits of the Lord (Isa. 11:2); it is the seven everlasting Spirits of God (Rev. 4:5). The image in this Scripture is the Son of the living God, who is the begotten of God. It is this begotten Son that would be raptured and taken into eternity when the last glory is revealed. The work of sons is to keep beholding, so that they can change. If they stop beholding, they will stop changing. As such, the key to glory is change.
Satan also seeks to change us in order to devour us. Therefore, one can either be devoured or saved by changing. In order to be saved by God, we must partake of the the glorious gospel which belong to Christ (2 Corin. 4:3-4). There is a darkness that will be dealt with in the light of Christ, so that the knowledge of the glory of God can be revealed in the face of Jesus Christ (2 Corin. 4:6).
The wings of Satan is the conducive atmosphere for his face to thrive. What wings carry is face. Another word for wings is “palm” and it depicts a face. That was why Solomon carved Cherubims with palm trees and flowers in 1 Kings 6:32; it was an illustration of face. Those who overcame in the book of Revelation had palms in their hands, signifying to God that they were ready for His face (Rev. 7:9). God's face is where the food is (Rev. 7:17). The face of God is administered under the covering of God. To destroy the covering cast, another cast has to be created. You need a cast (of God) to make you think against the way of Satan. The stretch (expanse) of Satan is a course/pathway which one cannot turn from without receiving mercy (2 Cor. 4:1).
When we are about to defeat Satan, there is every tendency to faint because we are undoing evil laws. However, we must continue changing until we overcome every of his effort to make us faint. This is how an eternal weight of glory will be accrued to us.
"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. [2] I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust." (Ps. 91:1-2). If the eternal God is a refuge, then He is a place one can hide. The secret place of God is a cast of God; it is a refuge in which one can hide. This cast is a house not made with hands (2 Corin. 5:1). We can only wear this cast by coming under the shadow of the Almighty. God will not bring anyone automatically to this place; you have to go through light affliction for something to be worked out for you in the realm of God (2 Corin. 4:17). When a man is going through his "light affliction, which is but for a moment", it is working out an eternal deposit for such a man.
A man cannot lay treasures in the eternal heavens dimension from the realm of Christ; he can only lay treasures in the everlasting heavens. This means there are three heavens where treasures are kept: Christ, Everlasting and Eternal. The treasures which one has laid up is what will constitute one's eternal house (Matt. 6:20). Obedience in everlasting life is the process by which God translates treasures into eternal riches. This is what God will give back to us after we have obeyed. The coming of the eternal weight of glory is the coming of God as a house to be put on us. However, there is another house which must be dissolved from us before this house of God can be put on us.
The process through which the devil is fighting to take the eternal treasure from a soul is the same process he uses to make an abode in such a soul. You will turn your righteous (everlasting) treasure into eternal treasures when you overcome the dragon; thereby using the change of the moment to purchase eternal glory. Eternal weight of glory is Eternal Life. Thus, the sending of eternal thoughts to us is the sending of Eternal Life which gradually swallows us up until mortality is swallowed up by life (2 Cor. 5:4). This is the operation of the first trumpet.
Mortality is a seed already planted in the soul of man. This is what gives a man the knowledge of how to expire. To kill that seed, some high powers and high glory is needed. Once a man is born into the world, he is already planning to die. This comes from a deep program which man has become one with its writing.
For every cast, there is a face. This is because the face is directly under the cast. When men come to see the face, they must look continuously until the cast is formed. It is a covering cast that had trained man for years, but a time will come when mortality will be swallowed up by life. This has to occur first. This life refers to Eternal Life. Eternal Life differs from immortality. Immortality is the hidden version of Eternal Life; it is where Eternal Life springs from.
We had previously drank from the fountain of death which brought a curse upon us; but the fountain has been changed this season. When this life is found, the Eternal God is found. To find this eternal house is to have fled for refuge (Heb. 6:18). To be caught up to God is to flee for refuge; and the next stage is to be caught up to His throne. This is the point where one is fed with all the rewards and the throne is given to man.
We are expecting a great escape into eternity this season. This is the place where the devil can do nothing to us because we would have become children of God who have been taught of God and His testimony, then caught up to Him and His throne. God is bringing the day close to us and showing us the reward, so that we do not grow weary.
