ARCHANGEL.Michael
is the chief angel, the special envoy and the one who says to Satan: 'The Lord
rebuke you!' Jude 8-9, Zech 3 /2. At the voice of an archangel, just
after the given signal and just before the trumpet of God, the Bride will be
taken up. We believe that the archangel Michael of 1Tess 4/16 is the
spirit who will animate the living Bride on earth. She will reach the perfect
stature of Christ, her Bridegroom Eph 4/11-13. See Adam.
Michael. Actually, the Bride is the most important envoy that the Bridegroom
can manifest on earth just before his coming on the clouds. In this way, Jesus
has been the second Adam 1Cor 15/45, we are the second Eve living on
earth. Archangel means 'super-envoy' see angel.
It
was a wooden coffer covered with gold. The propitiatory, which was its top,
was considered the place of residence of the Eternal. Exo 25/22. The
Ark of the covenant was in the Holy of holies, the Most Holy Place of the Tabernacle
and the Temple, in Jerusalem.
Moses
then built the Ark, on the order of God Exo 25. The sons of Levi must
take care of the Ark Nb 3/15, 31. The Ark went before them Nb 10/33.
The
book of the law must be placed in the Ark Deut 31/ 24-26. The waters
of the Jordan open before the Ark Jos 3/13-17; 4/1-7. The conquest of
Jericho Jos 6/6-20. The Philistines steal the ark 1Sam 5. Benediction
of the house of Obed-Edom 2 Sam 6/11-12. Uzza

Sanctuary where the ark should stay 1Chron 22/19. What is inside
Heb 9/4.
No
one seems to know where the Ark of the Covenant is. I don't say that it is a
revelation that God has given me, but I believe with my deepest heart that the
Ark is in the mountain of Moab. 2 Maccabees 2/4-8. According to this
apocryphal text, Jeremiah concealed the Ark and it will be discovered only when
God gathers his people and has mercy on them. This will take place when the
144 000 are sealed. See Apocalypse. But
it will not have the same importance it had at the time of Moses. Jeremiah prophesied
it in Jer 3/16-17. Because Jesus will be their God and their king. They
will haved passed from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant.
The
disciple of Jesus-Christ should put the Divine Armour Eph 6/10-18.
It
is the word used to talk of Jesus ascending to heaven fourty days after his
resurrection. The ascension took place on the Mount of Olives, in front of his
disciples Mk 16/19; Luke 24/51. Two angels came to tell the disciples
that Jesus-Christ will come back the same way he was gone Acts 1/9-12.
ASK.
It
is our part of the Covenant concluded in our pre-mortal life. The part of God
is to give to whoever asks. Matt 7/7. Thus, when the Word of God refreshes
our memory, we start to take part in the Glory of God, and we ask and receive
everything from Him. (even
wisdom Jm 1/5)
Those
who are called or ordained act in the name of the Lord Jesus-Christ in the fulfilment
of God's work.
Jn
15/16 Commissioning. There are also authorities established by God in this
world Rm 13/1 -7. These authorities exercise the power they have received
from God and we should obey them provided they don't force us to disobey God.
Acts 4/19-20.et 5/29. See Power.
BAAL.
God
of the sun in Phenicia mainly. Baal is masculine. The Moabites call him Baal-Peor
Nb 25/1-3. In Sichel, he is called Baal-Berth Jg 8/33; 9/4, in Ekron
Baal-Zebub 2 Kgs 1/2. Baal is Bel of Babylon. He is the Zeus of Greece.
The
classical symbol of Baal is an ox. Astarte is the goddess generally worshipped
together with Baal. The word Boscheth is the pejorative name of Baal. Boscheth
means 'shame'.

It
is the capital of Babylonia. Babel had been created by Nemrod Gn 10/8-10.
It is there that God confused the languages of men Gn 11/1-9. This took
place while they were building a tower. They wanted to make a name for themselves.
The ruins of Babylon still exist. It was a perverted town which symbolizes the
wickedness of the world. For us, Babylon is Rome. Rome will fall Rev 17-18.
A true disciple of Jesus-Christ cannot remain in the Roman system of the church.
Because this church was prostituted with evil spirits.
(It
is what the reformer Luther believed and what we still believe with all the
protestants who still dare to protest). On the other hand there are children
of God in this church as well as in all others churches. God knows his own people
and we should not judge. Simply we have the possibility, we have the legal right,
not to be part of these churches and to say why we don't want to be part of
them. Rev 18/4-5. If the descendants of the 'killing cults' of the 20th
were coming today to ask forgiveness, it would not be enough to make us join
their organizations. It is the same for the killing cults which held sway in
the past, we shall not join their international organizations because their
gurus speak on television and ask forgiveness for the crimes commited in the
past. As a conclusion, I say that we love the Catholics, but we don't love Catholicism,
and its dignified religious daughters. Rev 17/5 in relation with the
nakedness quoted in Rev 3/18.
Perfect
type of the falsely-anointed. He is anointed, but is false. Nb 22/22-24.
His
donkey talks to him Nb 22/22-35.
In
the Holy Scriptures, it is a flag around which the people of a similar identity
gather because they have the same goal. The Community is the banner which God
has raised so that those who have only one heart and one only soul can join.
Acts 4/32.
God
raises up a banner for the remote people. Is 5/26. The root of Jesse
will be there like banner Is 11/10.
