THE TRUE GNOSTIC (2)

"Wherefore He saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light." Eph.5:14

"I awaked up last of all, as one that gathereth after the grapegatherers: by the blessing of the Lord I profited, and filled my winepress like a gatherer of grapes." Ecclesiasticus 33:16

It is only the true Gnostic, the heavenly Christian, the true bride of Christ, that awakes from her sleep, and in Christ's baptism arises in the flesh and bone of her heavenly lover Lord ( Rom. 6:3, Rom.6:4, Eph.2:6, Eph.5:30), and escapes from the dead carnal mind ( Rom.8:6), by flying with her eagle wings ( Exodus 19:4, Rev.12:14) up into the light of the heavenly Spiritual laws of her heavenly lover, Lord God ( Proverbs 6:23). 

And flying with heavenly wisdom's wings in heavenly Sion's celestial school above, i.e., the Church, ( Heb.12:22 ), she hears these heavenly Spiritual laws, and believes in them, and sets out to walk in the Holy Spirit of them,  gathering these heavenly Spiritual laws unto herself, as one gathers grapes.

And she knows that the blood of these grapes is a principal thing for her, for she knows that the blood of these grapes is of the firstfruits doctrine of her heavenly lover Lord, along with the salt, and the other things ( Lev.2:13), and that His doctrine is all powerful, and that in the end it will shake all things ( Proverbs 4:7, Ecclesiasticus 39:26, Heb.12:24, Heb.12:25, Heb.12:26 ,).

It was mentioned in The True Gnostic part one:

Because of the current rise in popularity today of what many falsely call "Gnosticism", we who are the true heavenly Christians, must bring forth the truth on "Gnosticism", so that all may come to know the great pearl of it ( Matt.13:46), and may come to know just what a Gnostic is, and who is a true Gnostic, and who is a false Gnostic.

Now the true Gnostic, is a heavenly Christian, the true bride of Christ. But how do we know that? Because the Bible tells us so.

Let us continue now to look and see that the Bible tells us so, for it is written,

"For God, who (1)commanded the light to shine out of darkness, (2)hath shined in our hearts, (3)to give the light of the knowledge of (4)the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." 2 Cor.4:6

The LIGHT

Here we see in 2 Cor.4:6, that (1), our beloved apostle Paul is speaking about the light that was commanded to shine out of the darkness. For he says: commanded the light to shine out of darkness.

The true Gnostic, the heavenly Christian, the true bride of Christ, knows that this 'light', that our beloved apostle Paul is speaking about in 2 Cor.4:6, is the LIGHT THAT IS IN GOD THE WORD.

And the true Gnostic, the heavenly Christian, the true bride of Christ, knows that this light, IS THE LIGHT OF ETERNAL LIFE FOR ALL MANKIND WHO WILL COME TO IT. For it is written,

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and (1) the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.(2) In him was life; and the life was the light of men.(3) And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." John 1:1-5

In John 1:1-5, we see that (1) GOD IS THE WORD. And we see that (2) IN GOD THE WORD, IS THIS LIGHT THAT IS ETERNAL LIFE FOR ALL MANKIND. And (3) we see that, THIS LIGHT, THIS ETERNAL LIFE, DOES SHINE, BUT THE DARKNESS CANNOT COMPREHEND IT.

This ETERNAL LIFE, this ETERNAL LIGHT, IS THE HEAVENLY ETERNAL SPIRITUAL LAW OF GOD THE WORD, WHO NOW GOES BY THE NAME: THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. For it is written,

"The knowledge of the commandments of the Lord is the doctrine of life: and they that do things that please him shall receive the fruit of the tree of immortality. The fear of the Lord is all wisdom; and in all wisdom is the performance of the law, and the knowledge of His omnipotency." Ecclesiasticus 19:19-20

And again,

"For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:" Proverbs  6:23

And again,

"I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant (i.e., law) of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;" Isa.42:6

The LIFE

This is THE HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL LIFE GIVING LAW, That Moses spoke about, and set before the people. As it is written,

"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:" Deut. 30:19

And again,

That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey His voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto Him: for He is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. Deut. 30:20

Here in Deut. 30:19,  we see that Moses set before the people, THE HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL LAW, THE IMMORTAL WORD OF LIFE.  And we see that this HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL LAW, IS THE BLESSING.

And in Deut. 30:20, we see that it is confirmed;  THAT THIS LAW OF ETERNAL LIGHT, ETERNAL LIFE, IS GOD HIMSELF, for Moses says: for He (i.e., the Lord God) is thy life.

The BEJEWELED ONES

It is only the true Gnostic, the heavenly Christian, the true bride of Christ, that knows that this HEAVENLY ETERNAL SPIRITUAL LAW, THIS HEAVENLY ETERNAL SPIRITUAL LIGHT, is what is going to set the true Gnostic, the heavenly Christian, the true bride of Christ, on the THRONE OF GOD'S HONOUR, IN RESPLENDENT (BEJEWELED) HONOUR, FOR ALL ETERNITY, as it is written,

"And I will bring forth in shining light those who  have loved My holy name, and I will seat each on the throne of his honour. And they shall be resplendent (bejeweled) for times without number; for righteousness is the judgement of God;" Enoch 108:12-13  

The LIVING WATER

It is only the true Gnostic, the heavenly Christian, the true bride of Christ, that knows that this HEAVENLY ETERNAL SPIRITUAL LAW, THIS HEAVENLY ETERNAL SPIRITUAL LIGHT, COMES AS HEAVENLY WISDOM'S LIVING WATER OF GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS, IN ORDER TO WASH, AND SAVE HER SOUL. For it is written,

"And righteousness flowed before them as water. And mercy like dew upon the earth" Enoch 39:5

And again,

"Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: Because I will publish (i.e., Preach) the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God." Deut. 32:1-3

And again,

"For wisdom is poured out like water, and glory faileth not before Him for evermore." Enoch 49:1

And again,

"He that feareth the Lord will do good, and he that hath the knowledge of the law shall obtain her (i.e., wisdom) . And as a mother shall she meet him, and receive him as a wife married of a virgin. With the bread of understanding shall she feed him, and give him the water of wisdom to drink." Ecclesiasticus 15:1-3

And again,

"The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death ( Rom.8:6)." Proverbs 13:14

Oh, the heavenly wisdom baptismal living water of eternal life THAT COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!!!

OH, WHAT CAN BE SAID ABOUT IT!!!

The SAMARITAN

The true Gnostic, the heavenly Christian, the true bride of Christ,  knows that this living water, is the very baptismal living water that our Holy Lord was speaking about when He spoke to the woman at the well ~John 4:1-18~. 

For the woman at the well was a Samaritan who had the five husbands, (i.e., the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible, for the Samaritans only used the first five law books of the Bible, and the law is as a husband unto the soul ~Rom.7:1-4~), and our Holy Lord told her to go call her husband, and we see that she had to confess that she had no husband. And indeed, she did not have the true husband, because she did not ask.

For our Holy Lord Jesus Christ told her that she should have asked. And again, the Spirit of our Holy Lord Jesus Christ through Moses ~1 Peter 1:10-11~ , told her that she should have asked THE FATHER ABOUT THIS LIVING BAPTISMAL WATER THAT COMES AS RAIN AND DEW ( Deut.32:7).

She should have asked the Father, about THE HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL LAW, OF GOD'S SPIRIT AND TRUTH THAT IS IN PENTATEUCH, SO THAT SHE COULD HAVE WORSHIPED GOD, IN THE LORD'S SPIRITUAL LAW OF ETERNAL LIFE ( Psalms 119:142, Rom.7:14, John 4:23, John 4:24). 

Amen! They heard all these things from Moses. But just like the false carnal, so-called Christian groups today (and even the so-called Spiritual Christian groups today), who say that they believe in the Messiah, and say that they worship God the Spirit, but as soon as they see this truth about the true Christian Spiritual baptismal water of our Lord Jesus Christ and His Church, and the true worship of God, still, they will not ask THE FATHER about it, but instead welcome their dead carnal customs of natural earthly water baptism, which affords no salvation at all for their soul. 

Oh, the heavenly wisdom baptismal living water of eternal life THAT COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!!!

OH, WHAT CAN BE SAID ABOUT IT!!!

NICODEMUS

The true Gnostic, the heavenly Christian, the true bride of Christ,  knows that this is the very baptismal living water that our Holy Lord Jesus Christ was speaking to Nicodemus about, when our Lord said to him:

"Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to thee, but a man be born again of water, and of the Holy Ghost, he may not enter into the kingdom of God." John 3:5 Wycliffe Bible (A.D.1382).

To whom is our Lord (the immortal Word, the baptismal fountain of life) speaking to here?

As we know, our Lord God the immortal Word, is speaking here to Nicodemus a ruler of the Jews (John 3:1), Nicodemus a master (doctor of the laws), of Israel (John 3:10).

But Nicodemus, not understanding what the water was that our Holy Lord was speaking about, showed that he (Nicodemus) did not know the mother womb of THE CHURCH, THE MOTHER WOMB OF all living.

Nicodemus was of the Sanhedrin, in the council of the 71 Jewish sages who constituted THE SUPREME COURT OF THE LAW.

This tells us that Nicodemus, BEING A MASTER OF THE LAW, SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THE LAW!!!

Nicodemus (a doctor of the law), SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THE IMMORTAL PROPHETIC WORD OF GOD, I.E., THE LAW, CAME IN MOSES AND THE PROPHETS AS LIVING WATER, SAYING THAT IT WOULD COME AS WATER AND SPIRIT IN ORDER TO WASH MANKIND CLEAN, AND REGENERATE MANKIND (~Ezek.36:25-27~).

Indeed, the heavenly spiritual prophetic law does come to regenerate mankind. For in Rom.7:14, it is written,

"For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin." Rom. 7:14

The word "SPIRITUAL" being used here in Rom. 7:14, is very important for us to understand; for it means = "REGENERATE".

Strong's Lexicon Search Results:

#4152 pneumatikos pnyoo-mat-ik-os'  .....  (divinely) supernatural, regenerate, religious:--spiritual. Compare 5591.

The word: REGENERATE, according to Funk & Wagnalls Dictionary, means = <again to generate, i.e., to beget, born again, born anew Spiritually>, etc. 

So here we see that the law that is Spiritual, GIVES LIFE, GIVES A NEW BIRTH  to mankind. Causes man to be BORN AGAIN.

This is the TRUE heavenly Spiritual Word, the TRUE heavenly Spiritual law, THE TRUE HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL TORAH, that indeed comes to wash mankind.

And lest any soul reading this should think that the law does not come as water to wash one clean, the word; "law", is proven to be from the root word #3384 in Strong's Bible concordance, meaning that the word; "LAW", comes out from the word which means: a teaching which flows as water.

The teaching of the heavenly Spiritual law, is a teaching which flows as living water, and therefore, washes, cleanses, purifies,  refreshes, and quenches the thirst of the soul of one who is seeking for the TRUE heavenly Spiritual Word, the TRUE heavenly Spiritual law, THE TRUE HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL TORAH.

That is why our Holy Lord said to Nicodemus, one must be born of water and Spirit. For one must be born from above of law (water) and Spirit.

For looking at Strong's Bible concordance in the Hebrew Dictionary, at #8451 we see that is says,

Lexicon Results for towrah (Hebrew for law) #8451:

Pronunciation Guide towrah {to-raw'} or torah {to-raw'}
TWOT Reference Root Word TWOT - 910d from #03384;

Here we see that the word; "TORAH" (Hebrew for law), comes from the root word found in #3384.

And looking at #3384 in the Strong's Hebrew Dictionary. We see that it is says,

#3384 yarah yaw-raw' or yara; {yaw-raw'}; a primitive root; properly, to flow as water (i.e. to rain); transitively, to lay or throw (especially an arrow, i.e. to shoot); figuratively, to point out (as if by aiming the finger), to teach:--(+) archer, cast, direct, inform, instruct, lay, shew, shoot, teach (-er,-ing), through.

Here we see the word; "TORAH", (Hebrew for law), comes out from the word which means = A TEACHING WHICH FLOWS AS WATER, AS RAIN.

That is why it is written,

"Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth."
Hosea 6:3

And again,

"Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for He hath given you the former rain moderately, and He will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month." Joel 2:23

And again,

The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.” Proverbs 13:14

That is why king David (a man after God's own heart), and his faithful companions, cried out to our Lord,

“I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast QUICKENED (the word 'quickened' used here means = saved, give life to) ME.” Psalms 119:93

Nicodemus should have known these things. Nicodemus was a teacher of the congregation. He was a doctor of the law. But he did not know the law that gives eternal life, so that he himself could have washed in it, and also taught the congregation to wash in it.

THE TRUE LABOURERS

If Nicodemus would have known THE TRUE HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL LAW, then all who would have heard Nicodemus teach, could have been warned by him, to enter into this heavenly Spiritual law, and to "labour in it", so that they might be saved, and receive the "reward of their labour in it", which is the great "reward of eternal life". That is why it is written,

"The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.” Psalms 19:8-11"

And again,

"...but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." Matt.19:17

And again,

"Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward." 1 Timothy 5:17-18

As we showed forth from scripture in part one of: "The True Gnostic", it is only the heavenly Christian, it is only the true Gnostic, it is only the true bride of Christ, that is truly labouring rightly in the Word, in order to bring: THE ADVANCEMENT OF HER LORD’S HOLY SPIRIT OF HIS DIVINE GLORY, SO THAT IT MIGHT BE PLACED IN HER SOUL, IN HER MIND, IN HER HEART, AND IN ALL HER STRENGTH.

Fallen carnal, so-called Christianity today, (like Nicodemus back then), does not see, nor understand this true labouring in the heavenly Spiritual law, in the heavenly Spiritual Word, that only the heavenly Christian, the true Gnostic, the true bride of Christ, is doing.

And so, not understanding this labouring, when they hear about it with their carnal dead minds, they make no account of it, not seek to learn of it, so that they may walk in its light. But it is written of them,   

"Then shall the righteous man stand in great boldness before the face of such as have afflicted him, and made no account of his labours. When they see it, they shall be troubled with terrible fear, and shall be amazed at the strangeness of his salvation, so far beyond all that they looked for. And they repenting and groaning for anguish of spirit shall say within themselves, This was he, whom we had sometimes in derision, and a proverb of reproach: We fools accounted his life madness, and his end to be without honour: How is he numbered among the children of God, and his lot is among the saints! Therefore have we erred from the way of truth, and the light of righteousness hath not shined unto us, and the sun of righteousness rose not upon us. We wearied ourselves in the way of wickedness and destruction: yea, we have gone through deserts, where there lay no way: but as for the way of the Lord, we have not known it. What hath pride profited us? or what good hath riches with our vaunting brought us? All those things are passed away like a shadow, and as a post that hasted by;" Wisdom of Solomon 5:19

And again,

"For they were worthy to be deprived of light and imprisoned in darkness, who had kept thy sons shut up, by whom the uncorrupt light of the law was to be given unto the world." Wisdom of Solomon 18:4

THE SHINING

Let us continue now to look 2 Cor 4:6. For it is written,

"For God, who (1)commanded the light to shine out of darkness, (2)hath shined in our hearts, (3)to give the light of the knowledge of (4)the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." 2 Cor.4:6

Here we see in 2 Cor.4:6, that (2), our beloved apostle Paul is speaking about the light that is to shine in the believers heart. For he says: hath shined in our hearts.

The true Gnostic, the heavenly Christian, the true bride of Christ, knows that this 'light', that our beloved apostle Paul is speaking about in 2 Cor.4:6, is the LIGHT OF THE HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL LAW that was just spoken about.

For the word; shined, used in 2 Cor. 4:6, means= "GIVE LIGHT". And The true Gnostic, the heavenly Christian, the true bride of Christ, knows that it is the immortal law of God, that is the light, for she has THE KNOWLEDGE, THE GNOSIS OF THIS LIGHT.

THE TRUE GNOSIS

That is why in (3), our beloved apostle Paul says: (3)to give the light of the knowledge of. When we look up that word knowledge being used here in 2 Cor.4:6, we see in Strong’s Bible Concordance, that the word knowledge being used here in 2 Cor.4:6, comes from the Greek word, “gnosis”.

This is the "knowledge", “THE gnosis”, "THE LIGHT", that is only found in GOD'S BOOK OF LIFE. GOD'S HOLY "SPIRITUAL" COVENANT LAW.

And so it is written,

"All these things are the book of the covenant of the most high God, even the law which Moses commanded for an heritage unto the congregations of Jacob. Faint not to be strong in the Lord; that he may confirm you, cleave unto him: for the Lord Almighty is God alone, and beside him there is no other Saviour. He filleth all things with his wisdom, as Phison and as Tigris in the time of the new fruits. He maketh the understanding to abound like Euphrates, and as Jordan in the time of the harvest. He maketh the doctrine of knowledge appear as the light, and as Geon in the time of vintage." Ecclesiasticus 24:23-27

So when we look at 2 Cor. 4:6, #(4), we see that it is ONLY THIS KNOWLEDGE, "THIS GNOSIS", THAT BRINGS THE LIGHT OF THE GLORY OF GOD, IN THE FACE OF JESUS CHRIST, TO THE SOUL OF MANKIND. Not that there is a need for anyone to be called a "Gnostic". But! We do see from scripture, that there is a need for everyone to be of this knowledge, "THIS GNOSIS", in order to be a heavenly Christian, the true bride of Christ.

But I keep myself pure for thee, O Bridegroom, and holding a lighted lamp (Proverbs 6:23) I go to meet Thee (Matt.25:1-11).

Let us continue now looking into the truth on "Gnosticism", so that we all may come to know the great pearl of it ( Matt.13:46), and may come to know just what a Gnostic is, and who is a true Gnostic, and who is a false Gnostic. Please enter part three.
