Wormholes, blackholes and God moving around

(new article tomorrow)

"Psalm 18 is one of these wonderful psalms; it's a psalm of David and it was sung in the day the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. It's actually repeated in II Samuel 21 and it's a picture of the Second Coming of Christ, the deliverance of Israel by their Messiah.

Verse 7: [7] Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

"God's wrath shakes the earth; that's the Second Coming," explains Richard Jordan.

[8] There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
[9] He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
[10] And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
[11] He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

"Israel had a pavilion, a tent, a tabernacle made out of skin. You go inside of it and it's pitch-black dark. They had it all layered over and you couldn't see anything inside. That's why they had to have the seven-candelabra lamp stand. Without that there wasn't any light in it.

"God shrouds Himself in darkness. His presence is in the third little room back there; the Holy of Holies, and only the high priest could go in there. But the glory of God would fill that place.

"There's a supernatural manifestation of God's glory. Ezekiel sees it in Ezekiel 1. He sees this great light; it's like a rainbow. Instead of being a white light like that, it's all facets of the light refracted. Like the coat of many colors kind of thing and it demonstrated the glory and the majesty of God.

"When He wanted to demonstrate His glory to Israel that's what He did. You remember when they're in Egypt and He put darkness on the land? There's a verse that says it was darkness that 'could be felt.' Just completely consumed all of the light.

"There was a darkness that God laid on that land and then there was a supernatural light that He put in those houses.

"God has this glory that manifests Himself, but He blocks it off so that it can't shine down from the third heaven.

Job 26: [9] He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it. [10] He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.

"There's a sea up here and He puts clouds on it. Clouds make a pavilion of darkness, but when you see in Psalm 18 where it says 'He made darkness His secret place,' He hides himself. 

"Genesis begins, [1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

[2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

"God is light and darkness is the absence of Him. He literally put a tent around Himself. Now that tabernacle is the picture of something bigger. He made the tabernacle after the pattern in the heavens. Isaiah 40:22 says when He made the universe, He was making a tent to dwell in.

[21] Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
[22] It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
[23] That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.

"The third heaven is like that Holy of Holies in that third place in the tabernacle where He's boxed Himself off and creation can't see Him, except they have the light that He gives them; the candlesticks that show light on the table of shewbread.

"You know what's on that table of shewbread? Twelve loaves of bread in two rows of six each. So the light shines on the six six. Sixty-six. 'Man shall not live by bread alone . . . 

"You see, I told you this stuff kind of gets weird. It just goes bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop.

"If you look back at verse 9, it says, [9] He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

"I don't know how much you've studied Einstein's theory of relativity but what he postulated was that if you could bend the universe . . . One of the things he demonstrated is we don't live in space and time, but we live in space-hyphen-time. The time is an integral part of the universe we live in.

"If you could bend the universe like this, then you could reduce the time it takes to go across there, by going from here to here. You remember Star Trek and the Starship Enterprise where when they wanted to go somewhere, what speed did they go at? Warp speed, and you know how they defined warp speed? It was that you warped the universe; you warped the time shape of the universe and you created from this point to that point a worm hole (we call them a black hole) through which things are sucked.

"What they're theorizing has to do with an explanation of how you can travel, you know, 850 million light years in a span of just a moment. What they're doing is taking what we can understand from science and observe through the application of mathematics to the creation and they're working.

"Now Einstein, if had not been for this theory of relativity, we would not have gotten to the moon. Because he demonstrated that the closest route between two points is not a straight line but it's that curvature and that bend. But he wasn't saying, 'Travel the bend.' He was saying, 'Realize that you can go from here to there and you don't have to go that way--go this way.'

"That verse says, 'He bowed the heavens and came down.' You ever wondered how the Lord Jesus Christ can get, physically, with all the armies of heaven, from the third heaven which is millions of light years away, down to here, instantly like that? He knows something about travel; He knows something about worm holes and black holes and moving around.

"I'm just saying there's stuff about the universe long yet to be discovered and I tell you repeatedly, when you read something in the Bible and it doesn't make sense, chalk it up to your ignorance, not the Bible's.

"You read a word and you don't understand, chalk it up to the fact the Bible knows more about your language than you do. It knows more about things than you do. You say, 'I'm the ignorant one; I need to keep studying,' because you know what you do? You study and you find answers.

"If you work that out, you can see where that fire comes in and my point in Psalm 18 was that fire. That stuff's associated with the Second Advent over there. Fire is taking molecules and releasing the energy. Think about what fire does and the chemical catalyst involved in fire and what it does to creation."

Here is a related study on the tabernacle's untold dimensions:

God’s original intention was to dwell with man in His Creation and then sin threw a monkey wrench into the plan.

“The great issue in the universe all along has been God dwelling in His creation and sharing His life with His creation," says Jordan. "The tabernacle God gave Israel is a foreshadowing of that. As the verse says, ‘The Lord chose Zion and desired it for his habitation. This is my rest forever; here will I dwell for I have desired it.’

“His intention is to put His throne in the city of Jerusalem on the hill of Zion; that special place in Jerusalem that was the dearest to David’s heart.

“The tabernacle, built by Moses, is a picture of the first coming of Christ and the temple, built by Solomon, is a picture of the Second Coming of Christ.

“The tabernacle was a temporary structure--made to be moved from place to place—but the temple was a permanent place built in the city of the great king, Jerusalem. Moses is the prophet who builds the tabernacle and it’s the king who builds the temple.

“The temple is the second meeting place; the tabernacle’s the first. The temple was renowned for its glory, majesty and beauty; it was like the city on the hill. People would come and marvel at its majesty.

“The tabernacle was just the opposite. It wasn’t built in the city; it was built for life in the wilderness. Not life in the kingdom reign of glory, but in the wilderness of nomad life. It was humble and unattractive in its outward appearance.

“When you walked up on the tabernacle, what you saw was a funny-looking wall made out of boards and skins and post. It was not outwardly attractive.

“What does Isaiah say about Christ in His first coming? ‘There was no comeliness about him.’ He was a man of sorrow, acquainted with grief.

“The tabernacle was a place where God’s majesty dwelt but it was veiled behind the skins of that building. I keep emphasizing that the building was made out of badger skins and goat skins and all kind of skins. Well, where does God put His life? If He puts it in you, where does He put it? He puts it in a body of flesh. That’s the idea back there.

“God gives Moses the dimensions of the tabernacle. It’s going to be a tent and there’s going to be an opening and an altar and then there’s a laver to wash. Then there’s another little building inside, and in that is the table of shewbread and the altar of incense and the candlestick.

“After you get saved and have forgiveness of all of your failures and your guilt and shame for all the things you’ve done, you begin to walk and discover that you still have stuff inside you that seeks to manipulate you.

"God takes that righteousness that you have and brings it into your life and how does He do it? The priest goes in and lights the candle. That’s the light of the Spirit of God working. The oil that lights up, it shows light on the table. What’s on that table? That table is the table of shewbread.

“They had six loaves of bread in one column and six loaves of bread in another. Six plus six because there’s provision for the whole; every tribe in the nation Israel. But when you see 66, what have you got? You ever count the number of books in your Bible?

“Now how in the world, before Moses ever wrote a book in the Bible, did he know how to lay out the number of books on the shewbread?! Well, Moses didn’t, but God did! Amen, amen, amen! This kind of stuff makes me want to turn into a Pentecostal for a morning.

“The Word of God is the bread of life. He puts light on there and when the Spirit of God works in your life through the Word of God, the altar of incense is prayer. Prayer is like the breath of your new nature. The Word of God is like the food of your new nature. Prayer is simply talking to God about the light His Word puts upon the details of life.

“You and I often forget that the footprint of Adam’s sin resides in us and it distorts us. We’re born with it. God didn’t make you that way. Sin did. People excuse their sin, saying, ‘Well, I was born this way!’ Yeah, but it isn’t the way God intended for you to be born. You’re born that way because of Adam’s sin. It puts a fingerprint on you.

“That’s why this whole tabernacle is housed in boards. You remember how many boards there were? Twenty boards on one side, twenty boards on the other and then another six boards. What’s 20 + 20 + 6? There are 46 boards that make up the structure of this little tent that hold the linen that make the wall. They’re made of shittim wood, which is the Hebrew word for what we call acacia wood today. That is, it’s a thorn bush.

“Thorns in the Bible are associated with a curse. Genesis 3. God says, ‘I’m going to make my house inside of some walls made out of a curse.’ Now, the way you hang those boards up with the sockets and stuff, you’re to have silver sockets. Silver in the Bible is a picture of redemption. Are you beginning to get the picture?

“You know where God lives in you? He lives inside of a house. You’ve got an old sin nature. That ‘body of sin,’ as Paul calls it. And He lives inside of your body.

“By the way, the altar and the Ark of the Covenant is also made out of that cursed tree. The difference is that inside the tabernacle, the shittim wood on the altar is covered with brass, which is a symbol of judgment in the Bible. God has judged our sins at the Cross of Christ and put us inside the protective covering. Your life is hid with Christ in God.

“Then when you get into where the ‘mercy seat’ is, where the Ark is, that little box in the most holy place, it’s made of the same shittim wood that that altar is made out of.

"The altar is covered with brass and the Ark is covered with gold; a picture of the deity of Christ. Do you know how God sees you? He’s accepted you in the Beloved. There’s not a precious metal more beloved than gold. But there you are, covered with Him!

*****

“When God saw the altar, He didn’t see the shittim wood; He saw brass. When He looked down from between the cherubim on the ‘mercy seat’ He saw the gold and He also saw the blood that came off of that altar. And because of that judgment that Jesus Christ suffered at Calvary for your sins, God can reside, look down and see you in His Son.

“The outside walls are made of 46 boards. Because this tabernacle is not simply a picture of redemption, God’s conquest over sin—actual sin, indwelling sin and original sin . . . It’s not just a picture of man—our body, our soul and our spirit—it’s also, literally, a picture of the cellular structure whereby He made you! Because as you sit here right now, you originally started as one cell.

“Do you know we all started as a female? There’s the egg and then it’s fertilized. When they’re 23 chromosomes from mom and 23 chromosomes from dad joined together, it creates a cell, a little zygote, that’s you and everything you are. How you look, all about you, was all in that original cell. We now know it was all in what we call DNA, and in those 46 bundles of chromosome pairs that make up you, everything that you are is there.

“David says in Psalm 139:15, ‘My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.’

“That’s talking about when God made Adam, He made him out of the dust of the earth. Genesis 2:7 says, [7] And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

“He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and Adam BECAME a living soul. David says in verse 16, ‘Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.’

“That’s describing the development that takes place in every person from the time you are conceived to the time you get to be an adult. There’s a book of DNA written in every one of us. DNA is literally a book written in the nucleus of your cell.”
