�For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush. The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart. Luke 6:44-45
Why is the Spirit (Ruach) of God (Elohim) speaking here of men as trees, each having its own fruit if this were not true?
Does your heart align with mine? Are we two hearts (offspring of God/Elohim) beating as one? The Word states over and over in the teachings of the Mashiach that �I and the Father are ONE�. He even prays, �Father, I pray that they may be ONE as we are ONE.�
Are we �ONE�..?
Are we both from the same household, �the household of faith�..?
Wait.. Did you get that, "the household of faith"..? Do you recall the doctrine of THE TWO HOUSES, one built upon the rock, which is God the Father, and the other build upon the shifting sinking sands?
Two of the greatest mysteries of the scripture regard metaphors of �men as trees� and �the Spirit of God, as a Father, reigning in and dwelling in men and women� which is contrasted by �the Spirit of the Devil, which is referred to in Romans 8:15 as �the Spirit of Bondage�. So now we have happened upon a third interacting doctrine, which is that the scripture refers to TWO SPIRITS..
So, we have men referred to as �TWO TREES� (�I see men as trees walking� Mark 8:24), and then we see all of this verbiage used which refers to those two trees bearing fruit being either GOOD or BAD. Now we have the doctrine of THE TWO HEARTS.
So, we can safely concluded that the following doctrines are found in the scripture:
1) MEN AS TWO TREES (Matthew 7:17-20)
2) GOD AND THE DEVIL BEING PRESENTED AS TWO FATHERS (John 8:38, 42-44)
3) THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND THE SPIRIT OF THE DEVIL BEING TWO DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT SPIRITS �OF BONDAGE� & �OF ADOPTION� (Romans 8:15-16)
What is most interesting is that in the epistles of John (3:11-12) we see him write that Cain was �of that wicked one�:
�For this is the message that we have heard from the beginning that we should love one another. NOT AS CAIN, WHO WAS OF THAT WICKED ONE, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother�s righteous.�
Now we have THE TWO WORKS doctrine.
Why would John write that CAIN�S and ABEL�S works were different if it were not true?
We see the Mashiach Yshua, speak, in Matthew 23, of the Pharisees being �serpents� and �vipers�, which is a reference to the Devil who was in the Garden in the form of a serpent. NOTE: The Mashiach (Messiah) blames the shedding of blood, of the righteous, from the beginning on �ye serpents, ye generations of vipers�, those men whose spiritual nature or fruit has been connected genealogically to the Serpent in the Garden:
�Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.� Matthew 23:27-36
Why would we see all of these dichotomous truths be written of in the scripture of the New Testament if they were not true as well as being a true explanation of the Father being YHWH Elohim of the Old Testament reigning in and dwelling in the Son of God of the New Testament�.?
44And Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me.
45"He who sees Me sees the One (GOD THE FATHER) who sent Me. 46"I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness
John 12:45
6 Jesus said to him, �I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
7 �If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.�
8 Philip said to Him, �Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.�
9 Jesus said to him, �Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, �Show us the Father�?
Truly only a wise woman, one anointed (mashiach) would see and comprehend this..
Praise be to Abba that He has humbled you with His Torah (Instructions)...
Yes, it is true that Abba has dwelt in men since the Garden, Adam was the second. I write this out of respect to "Ha' Mashiach", who is called "the Firstborn among many brethren."
The Old Testament priesthood was a type of that which was to come and did. Ha'Mashiach, Who would not be revealed until later, was/is the Cornerstone. All other men who were or are "anointed" are also "mashiach". Most do not comprehend that the Hebrew word for "anointed" is "mashiach". All sons of God/Elohim are mashiach, or priests and the women become their Tabernacles. This is represented in the type of each son of Israel taking a lamb, and the blood from that lamb and applying it to their doorposts during the Passover. There is no salvation for any apart from the true priesthood:
"And brought them our, and said, 'Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they spake unto him the Word of the LORD (DaBaR), and to all that were in his house." Acts 16:30
Notice that there is no mention of "individual salvation" in this passage. It speaks of the Blood of the Lamb covering a whole house..
May it please Abba to bless your faith exceedingly~
Yes~ The absolute beauty of the passage in John 14, with Philip, is that it is the Father Who speaks out of Jesus (Yshua) to Philip, after Philip had asked to see the Father..
The Father says, speaking through Yshua to Philip, "Have I been so long (since birth) and yet you do not know Me, Philip?"
Then the Mashiach tells Philip "he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, 'Show us the Father"? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, He doeth the works."
This, the Father's claiming of His chosen ones from their mother's ovaries and wombs, is what the Father is referring to, and then Isaiah and David and Paul, in these following verses. Notice how the Father states that He will carry you all the days of your life (He is walking in you, dwelling in you. He is your God/Elohim, and you are His people):
"Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb: And even to your old age I am he; and even to your hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry you and will deliver you." Isaiah 46:3-4
Listen O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD (YHWH) hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name." Isaiah 49:1
"But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's brea-ts. I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God (Elohim) from my mother's belly." Psalms 22:9-10
"But when it pleased God who separated me from my mother's womb and called me by his grace, to reveal his son in me that I might preach him among the gentiles, I immediately conferred not with flesh and blood." Gal 1:15-16
This is what Peter was referring to in I Peter 2:9:
"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out darkness into his marvelous light." I Peter 2:9
There are 1,000 generations of the Sons of Darkness and the Sons of Light to be born:
"He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the Word which he commanded to a thousand generations." Psalms 105:8
