Do not overlook small details in Scripture

We update studies as the Lord Jesus leads us. You can find the latest update of this study at ChurchAges.net

Foolish virgins say, "Must we know?"  Wise virgins say, "We must know".

Jesus expected the disciples to understand why 12 baskets and 7 baskets of rejected scraps were picked up when the crowds were fed.

The Jews rejected the words of Jesus but the disciples collected these rejected words into the New Testament.

That fed the church during the 7 church ages. Then it will feed the 144000 from the 12 tribes of Israel during great Tribulation.

Two numbers, 7 and 12.

Christ is the Head of the church (the Pastor is not the head).

The backbone connects the head (Jesus) to the body (the church).

The first 7 vertebrae form the neck. The next 12 vertebrae hold the ribs. Two numbers, 7 and 12.

God's Word is more than perfect.

Every word and every verse in the Bible is important

MATTHEW 4:4   “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone,

but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”

How do we tell the difference between the wise virgins and the foolish virgins? Virgins are clean women, representing saved Christians in the churches.

Ask them a difficult question from the Bible.

The wise virgins want to understand the meaning. They say, “We must know”.

Their safety lies in believing and understanding the written Word.

DANIEL 12:10   but the wise shall understand.

The foolish virgins avoid the question and disregard it as unimportant, just a detail.

They say, “Must we know?”. They are scared of having their Bible-ignorance exposed.

Their safety lies in regular church fellowship, not in what they actually believe. Gathering together in a church is not necessarily beneficial. There is too much unscriptural deception in the churches.

 I CORINTHIANS 11:17   Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.

Saved Christians have been fooled into believing that God has got no name because they cannot find one name for three Persons. This makes them foolish or fooled virgins. A nameless God is blasphemy as it contradicts the Third Commandment to honour God's name. Only foolish people can believe in a nameless God.

PSALM 74:18   Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.

Consider the following example of an overlooked detail, the amount of rejected bread and fish fragments that Jesus made the disciples gather up.

After feeding 5000 men with a schoolboy's lunch, and then feeding another 4000, Jesus questioned His disciples.

MATTHEW 16:9   “Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?”

:10   Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

Jesus did not emphasize the huge amount of bread that He created to feed 9000 people.

We think that is great. He did not. He pointed to a detail that we ignore.

The importance of the rejected bread and fish -- the bread and fish fragments that were left over and discarded as unwanted.

He 'over-created' 12 baskets of bread and fish, and then another extra 7 baskets of bread. Why?

Feeding the 9000 was obvious. They were hungry.

Why did He create too much? Why those quantities of 12 and 7 baskets of rejected scraps?

These are the same numbers that appear in the Tabernacle. 12 loaves of shewbread representing the 144000 Jews from the 12 Tribes of Israel. There was also a central candlestick with 6 branches. These seven lamps represent the seven Gentile church ages. Only the central candlestick, representing the first church age of the apostles, is important as it supports everything else. Thus it is important that we are restored back to the beliefs of the early church apostolic fathers.

In addition, only Jesus is the Head of the church. The apostles never put a pastor in charge of a church.

The human head is connected to the body by means of the backbone. The first 7 vertebrae form the neck. The next 12 vertebrae support the ribs.

The 7 Gentile church ages that form the Bride and the 144000 Jews from the 12 tribes of Israel who come to the Lord in the 3.5 years of great Tribulation are the key to understanding the Bible mysteries of how God joins with man.

Five represents grace.

The 5 lumbar vertebrae represent the 5 saved foolish virgins who rejected the revealed truth of God and perish in great Tribulation but still, by grace, make Heaven, though not as the Bride.

The 5 fused sacrum bones are the Jews in the 5th Seal who rejected Christ during the 7 church ages, but are saved by grace if they are killed and martyred for their faith. That is why Jews are endlessly persecuted and killed. That is their path to Heaven.

Four represents redemption. Four bones are fused in the coccyx. Some unsaved people will make Heaven just because they were kind to the Bride. Thus the Bride has a very special place in Heaven.

MATTHEW 25:40  And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Jesus expected His disciples to understand.

Understanding is the key to being part of the wise virgins.

DANIEL 12:10   “but the wise shall understand.”

Thus Jesus expects you to understand too.

You will not find safety by hiding amongst the ignorance of your fellow churchgoers who also do not understand. Shame on them.

If you do not understand, then something is wrong with your insight into Scripture. You need to wake up and start searching for truth outside the restricting confines and blinkers of your church.

Jesus preached the Gospel to the Jews but they rejected Him.

This was symbolized by the rejected fragments of bread and meat which symbolize doctrine. He told the disciples to collect the rejected fragments (rejected Gospel) and write it up as the New Testament. The seven baskets of rejected scraps represent the seven Gentile church ages where the Gentiles would accept the New Testament doctrines that the Jews rejected. Then after the 7 church ages are over, God will turn to the Jews, the 144,000 from the 12 tribes of Israel. They will then accept the rejected Gospel that the Jews did not want when Jesus was on earth. The 12 baskets represent the rejected New Testament beliefs that will finally be accepted by the 12 tribes of Israel during the 3.5 years of great Tribulation.

The fourth beast around the throne in Revelation Chapter 4 is a flying eagle.

Eagles have a tremendous eyesight. They can see small details that we overlook.

We need that spiritual insight from that great spiritual eagle. That was the last promise to the church.

For example, atheists condemn Elisha for cursing 42 children who were then killed by two she bears. Have you any idea what that event represented? The churches obviously have no clue what this refers to.

II KINGS 2:24   And he [Elisha] turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

Persia (Iran) was a bear in Daniel's vision. Today Russia is symbolized by a bear. At the end, Elijah must restore us (the children) to the beliefs of our apostolic fathers who wrote the New Testament, according to Malachi Chapter 4.

John the Baptist turned the disobedient Jewish fathers to the wisdom of their just children, Jesus and the disciples.

Then the disciples matured to become the fathers of the first church age. Being at the end time, we are their spiritual children. Elijah is the Hebrew name. Elias is the Greek name.

LUKE 1:17   And he [John the Baptist] shall go before him [Jesus] in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

MALACHi 4:5   Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:

The end-time prophet comes before the 3.5 years of the dreadful great Tribulation.

MALACHI 4:6   And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children,

[this first part was done by John the Baptist]

and the heart of the children to their fathers,

[William Branhm's teachings have to turn us children back to the beliefs of the apostolic fathers]

lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

[The curse involves nuclear explosions during the 3,5 years of great Tribulation where the deadly radiation lingers in the ground].

Great Tribulation is a cursed time for the saved foolish virgins who are left behind when the Lord comes. Despite being saved, they are doomed to die during that time.

Elijah was caught up to Heaven, representing the wise virgins who were restored to the beliefs of the first church age.

Those 42 children were left behind as they represent the foolish virgins who stayed in their churches, despite the wake-up cry at midnight that told them to go out. They then mock Elisha, one of the two prophets to the Jews. But by then, God has left the church to turn to the 144,000 Jews. So, Jesus has left the Mercy Seat and mercy is over for the Gentiles. Consequently, the 42 foolish virgin children are cursed to die in the 42 months of great Tribulation (even though they are saved) as Russia and the Muslim hordes are unleashed on the churches. Notice how many Muslims have already infiltrated the West.

We must wake up and get out of our unscriptural church beliefs. Or do you just prefer to sleep on complacently in your church?

MATTHEW 25:5   While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

All ten virgins (clean women) representing saved Christians in the churches at the end-time are all fast asleep.

:6   And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;

go ye out to meet him.:

If you stay in your church beliefs you will never be ready for the Coming of the Lord because you will not have enough light to read and understand the Bible.

:7   Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

When they finally woke up, everyone realized that they had to improve their dedication to understanding Scripture and improve their standards of holiness

:8   And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

:9   But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

The resurrection of the New Testament saints happens 40 days before the wise virgins are caught up to Heaven. In that short time the wise virgins have to puzzle out how to get their bodies changed into immortal bodies by the seven mysterious unwritten Thunders. They will not have enough time to first coach the foolish virgins into an understanding of the mysteries of the written Word.

"Buy".

Pay the price of rejection and leave the church and hunt for the truth on the internet. But that will take them too long. They have too many false doctrines to correct.  The unscriptural doctrines like Trinity, water baptism in the three titles of God instead of the name of God, Christmas, Good Friday, having a pastor as the head of the church, thinking that William Branham is infallible as the Voice of God and thinking that the seven Thunders uttered way back in the past and are still uttering now before the resurrection of the New Testament saints. They still think that the supernatural cloud of 1963 just north of Flagstaff, Arizona, was the Coming of the Lord or the coming of the mighty Angel of Revelation Chapter 10, etc.

:10   And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

The wise virgins have the oil of the Holy Spirit. The evidence of the Holy Spirit is that it guides you into all truth. If you do not understand the mysteries and the details of Scripture, then you do not have the Holy Spirit baptism.

JOHN 16:13   Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: 

We need to learn the mysteries of Scripture now, while there is yet time.

Soon it will be the last Trump, and the dead in Christ will rise.

President Trump is the best known politician on earth today, whether you love him or hate him.

His name of "Trump" is twice mentioned in Scripture. Both times linked to the resurrection. Thus God has used him as a sign of the times that the end is getting close.

I CORINTHIANS 15:52   In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,

at the last trump:

for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

The last Trump. Trump has just won his second and last time in office as President. He recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in his first term. This fulfills Scripture. God is leaving the church and turning to Israel. So God needs Trump to protect Israel. We live in an exciting time.
