We present to you Sidewalks [music] by Apostle Thomas, a series where stories are told and interpreted alongside the word of God. [music] Firmly grounded in scripture, offering wisdom and understanding. Sidewalks [music] by Apostle Thomas. [music]

In this video, Apostle Thomas teaches that [music] part of maturity is learning to appreciate the efforts of our parents. He explains [music] that our parents take time and make sacrifices to prepare meals for the family and that [music] it is neither right nor fair for children to neglect eating from the house. Referencing Ephesians 6:1, Apostle encourages children [music] to honor and obey their parents, demonstrating gratitude and appreciation for their care and labor.

You know, even in the streets uh where people uh sell food, um if you have observed or you have been part of that population, uh you will know that you get to a place where your stomach seems to receive well from this mother. To an extent that that's where you eat. If it's lunchtime, that's where you go. Not that there is not other mothers that are selling food in that area. You know, maybe you have been part of it. May perhaps you have not been. I have been. I was selective. Once I know that my stomach that food is made for my stomach, I stay there. Glory to God. And I found that very beneficial compared to running around all the mothers and eating all the different uh hands if I can use that expression. So, so it is with the word of God. There is a certain menu that's being saved from this table. Glory to God. Glory.

So you subscribing it means that you continue to eat and I believe you are here because you have realized that the kind of menu that comes from here is good for you. Glory to God. Not that there is not other uh platforms and there are so many platforms you know but you are here because for you to grow to develop you have to get to a place where you realize well my primary menu will come from here everywhere else it will be a supplement but this is where I get nourished. The reason being you will hear as I share uh tonight about Melkisedc that there are certain things you are going to receive because you stayed. There are certain things that you are going to receive because you stayed. Glory to God.

And you will not receive them if you are not stable. You see they they there they there are things that are received by stable ones and there are things that are received by mobile ones. So when I say mobile ones, oh they can get few things here and there and run with it and think they got it only to realize that after long they lose it. They don't have it anymore. You know that's the reason why never ever be threatened by when you hear people say well I went there for impartation and then they don't follow the teaching of the one who imparted them. That impartation will not be sustainable because what they received is supposed to be sustained by the teaching associated with the one who imparted. So you can't ignore the teaching of the one who imparted. And this is what brings us to um the understanding about MelkiseDC. Let me remind you that we are um learning about the paths of righteousness you know which uh Psalm 23:3b says he leads me in the paths of righteousness and we are leaving it there. We are not focusing on for his name's sake. We will visit that. But you know we are looking at that part. You know he restoreth my soul. Thank [clears throat] God our souls have been restored. Oh what a great journey we have been here >> of soul restoration. Glory to God. And for some who are still paying attention to those teachings. The spirit of God is continuing to restore them. Glory to God. Is is restoring that. You know that that is the glory of God in the soul. It's not the only glory but the glory of God in the soul is called tam. There was glory in the spirit but it has its own name. The one in the soul is called. So the lord continues to restore a people's tam. And I hope because now we have gone to part B where he leads us in the paths of righteousness. You will not forget the teaching about the soul, the restoration thereof, the composition and what happens to it. So that you do not lose your soul while we are supposed to be progressing.

Amen. Because there are some people who think maybe God has called us for deliverance. Maybe God has called us uh yeah let me use and limit it to that. Maybe God has called us for deliverance. We are not called for deliverance. We conduct deliverance as a means to an end.

Deliverance is not an end. It's a means to an end. What is the end? It's for you to be a free soul that loves Jesus. Amen. With all your heart and serve him. So we are not called just to be conducting deliverance all the time. What I mean by this is after we have taught you, after you have received prayer and deliverance, now we move to the next teaching. You start to let loose your guards in the areas where you should be guarded and protected by the knowledge you received. Now when we should be progressing in other things, we now have to deal again with the soul. Not because you were not delivered. You were delivered but you went back because you think that as long as we keep delivering you uh you are keeping us at work as servants of God. No. No, we are not called to run around the same mountain.

No, no, no, no, no. Let that be clear. We are not called to run around the same mountain. We don't get you out of the river where you are drowning. And then after we have taken good care of you and you are out and safe, you jump in again >> and then you scream, "Help! Help!" At some point, we'll let you drown. Amen. Maybe you will learn a lesson beyond drowning. [laughter]

So we have to understand that you know we are not called to waste each other's time. Yeah. We are not called to waste each other's time. Glory to God. Which means if we are learning on the path of righteousness, we must understand that you know the Lord has restored our soul. We are not going to put our soul in danger of going back to where it was. You know that happened when we were in ignorance but the Lord sent us lie. So he sent us deliverance. He has helped us. He has put us together. He has resto restored our soul. Hey if he has restored our soul he's leading us in the path of righteousness. What is next? He has something from glory to glory from glory to glory. Glory to God. So, I hope you'll understand and remember that.

We present [music] to you Sidewalks by Apostle Thomas. A series where [music] stories are told and interpreted alongside the word of God. Firmly grounded [music] in scripture, offering wisdom and understanding. Sidewalks [music] by Apostle Thomas. [music]

In this video, Apostle Thomas teaches on the love language of doing the one thing that is needful. He discusses the importance of focusing [music] on what matters most when ministering to someone. Apostle explains that true service is not merely about performing tasks but about identifying [music] and engaging with what genuinely captures the attention, burden or heart of a leader or mentor. By understanding what [music] is truly important to them, one can minister more effectively and demonstrate [music] genuine love, honor and understanding.

with his wickedness, he was able to tap into something that will get Elijah's attention, which is humility. Amen. Let me take a sidewalk. The people you live with, even men and women of God, they have a they have whatever you want to call it, whether you want to call it love language, something that gets their attention. And it's not about doing everything. It's about doing the one thing that is needed. Amen. Mary, the younger sister to Martha, the sister to Lazarus, she knew the love language of Jesus. You know the Lord Jesus, if he has an opportunity to eat food and he has Heat. Heat. [music] [music] [music]

And let me appreciate all of you that join us week in and week out uh without fail. We truly appreciate and celebrate you. And let me also celebrate those that switch on their videos. Uh we appreciate you as well. Thank you so much. And uh make sure you've got your Bible everybody and a notebook and a pen. And take notes so that you can think about these things. take notes so you can go back to the scriptures and confirm that the things that um this man of God is teaching you are really so. Hallelujah. I believe they are really so. Glory to God. And so tonight I am so excited about what I'm about to share with you. The foundation uh for this teaching will be more and more understood, especially by those that uh will have taken time to uh to watch um the teaching from two weeks back on the 28th of June. uh when we went deep into the encounter that Jacob had with Melkisedc and how he was taken through a journey to correct historical errors. The childish things that he did, what he got by manipulation and deception, he was given a chance to obtain through righteousness. Hallelujah. Glory to God.

Praise God. He was given a chance to obtain through righteousness. And Jacob being a humble man of God, a dear, plain, sincere, innocent man, he was brought to that place. So that's the foundation that teaching has. So, if you haven't listened to it, I think do so and tie it up together with today or tonight's teaching. For those of you who have been with us for a while now, you will understand that whatever teaching today, it's a building block. So you have not wasted your time following all those teachings um that we have been on for quite some time now. And God is using this teaching to deliver his people but also to grow them to advance them to understand that in Christ Jesus there is so much more in this life. There is so much more. And I'm going to show you tonight that with Jacob's encounter with MelkiseDC, he was advanced and he was taken to um a certain place which I will tell you about and you will appreciate and understand the scripture. Perhaps this will also make you understand why I keep telling you that what Jacob achieved to become Israel and today I will tell you his other name. What he achieved to become Israel cannot be undone. The children of Israel today are recipients and beneficiaries of what their father did. And for those who are generational in their thinking, this will bless you to know that actually you can obey God and serve him and your decisions could affect positively generations to come. I want to prove that to you. And so the foundation for understanding this teaching is certainly the 28th of June teaching which was on Sunday. It will help you a great deal to go into that. And I know last week Sunday we we went a little bit more uh zooming in on uh Father Abraham and his journey. So far we have covered the encounter that Abraham has had with Melkisedc. We have covered the encounter that Joseph has had with Melkisedc. And also it's on our YouTube channel. So under the video section because we uploaded it um after we could not bring it live on YouTube. So it's uploaded. So it's under video. So these things form foundation. So you can understand this one man that seems to revolve around this family. And there is so much that he has done that we are still feeling today. And the Bible says he abides a priest continually. So he may not be physically here on earth but he has a place he has a role as the priest of the most high God. And we know as we will remind you again the moment you hear the most high God you are talking about the God that rules over the affairs of man. So we are looking at the human administration uh human governance and uh all those things that affect um the life of men here on earth. So that will help you to understand reminding you again that we are on the path of righteousness based on Psalm 23:3b you know and we understand why David was quite clear that uh the Lord restores my soul and he leads me in the paths of righteousness. uh because you understand that David had an encounter um with the king of righteousness Melkisedc. Now with today uh as teaching you will begin to understand certain scriptures that maybe you didn't understand them before. I believe you will about um places that exist and they are not in heaven. They are not on earth but they are outside just outside the earth. And this will help you a lot to also understand such beings as the great Enoch and some of the experiences they had. So so much that will come alive tonight um as you hear God's word. It was quite clear that we cannot learn the path of righteousness without understanding the king of righteousness. The king of righteousness is called Melced. He's a king of righteousness. But he was allowed to manifest here on earth after the intimate uh conversation and intimate uh plan that involved righteousness and peace in what Psalm 85:10 says they accused. And we shared on Sunday that actually the word used there for kiss rather than just to attach or to join or to fuse together is to release to form or attach to form a weapon. So when you say mechisedic you are looking at a weapon. A weapon for what? You see a weapon for what? So he we know he was allowed um to extend to us the kingdom and the priesthood. And when we say in Christ Jesus we are made unto God and his father kings and priests it's after the order of Melkisedc. Now this melisedc it's a lot easier to pass him by because you have to get a lot of things by interpretation and you must dig uh because he's not he is not u an ordinary man. The Bible says now consider how great this man was. That's Hebrews chapter 7:4. And the reason he says you you you consider it's because he is not an ordinary mayor.

And not being ordinary what it means is you will not meet me in the street. You are not going to find him without digging because he is not an ordinary man. I hope you understand what we mean by an ordinary man. Ordinary people are seen um in the streets of social medias and the streets and the ways of men here and there. They are common. Maybe that's the right word I can use. Common man. He's not a common man. He's he's he's an extraordinary man. He is so extraordinary. He came according to his class in the way he was born. It's the fusion of righteousness and peace manifesting a being. And that being was allowed to manifest here on earth. And when he descended here on earth, he came with the kingdom of Salem because he was a king of righteousness or also the king of Salem. and Salem he was allowed to manifest it here on earth and later it became to be known as Jerusalem. By the end of this teaching I'll be able to tell you how Salem became Jeru Salam. How Salem became Jerusalem so that we can understand. And so we see how this man is so great that he is allowed then to spread kingdom both universal kingdom and local kingdom. So when I say local kingdom is the kingdom that is localized around Israel and you are talking about the king of Judah, David and others. But when you say global, you're talking about being a king or a leader. They may call you a prime minister, a president, you know, a head of state. But when you are like that, after the order of Melkisedc, as a king, you are operating like Joseph, like Daniel. They are not in Israel, but where they are, they are kings. Whether you those kind of kings are called presidents or what what what the issue here is you are there operating in the order of Melkisedc. So it is even with the priesthood that we see that the priesthood was both universal and local. The local priesthood of Melkisedc um is that of Levi Levi, you know, the one of Aaron, Aron, Levitical um Levitical priesthood rather. And then the global priesthood of Melkisedc. Example of that is um the priest of Midian known as Jethro who was a mentor of Moses and there was a key connecting point between MelkiseDC and Moses very important to take note of that although they are years apart he was practicing priesthood in the order of Melkisedc so the teachings of Melkisedc were so much entrenched in him. And two of those key teachings was first concerning the key points here on earth. And I'll talk about the key points. We have spoken about the key points here on earth um which are very important in coordinating heavenly activities. That knowledge was passed on through Melkisedc because the transfer of Melkisedc and the kingdom of Salem here on earth, it had to be coordinated through the entry points. So that's very important. So when we say Bethl, when we say Jerusalem, um uh when we say Hebron, all those areas um that rich vein that run north to south, um all those areas were key points which at one stage had been occupied by giants understanding that those are the key points of the entrances into the earth. So that knowledge it's Melkisedc who passed that knowledge to such priests ultimately leading to um Jethro understanding that that's why Jethro told Moses that when you are going about with my sheep and livestock be aware that mountain you see there it's one of the key point and I'm going to read and show you that because the um some of The other key points were were occupied by Esau. Esau and his children they occupied the other the other key points. But that knowledge was passed on. understand that uh when we say that Job was a king which I think I've proven that to you in the other teaching the other day that Job was a king his palace was located in Bosra in the land of Woos and Bosra is one of the most important key point in the movements of God here on earth. So today I will I'll be able to show you that that actually Jacob and Esau they occupied key points that are key in coordinating the movement of God to an extent that when uh uh God is uh has identified a key point if he moves and then you hear he moved from that key point and that key point that key point that key point almost you will ask yourself. How can the same God move from three or four areas at the same time? So you will understand what that means and I'll show you in the scriptures. Um MelkiseDC the second lesson that he passed on to Jethro it was the the lesson around uh rest. Okay, rest the rest for uh the human body. That lesson was taught to um Jethro. Uh it's part of the teachings of Melkazed and he passed on to Moses. If you remember Moses uh when Jethro came to see him, he was seeing the children of Israel. And Jethro looked at him and thought, "Oh, my son here is going to wear out and this might reduce his life, but I'll talk to him." And he spoke to him wisely and even told him, "Check if this advice I'm giving you is from the Lord." And Moses did check and he found out it's from the Lord. And that advice when Moses listened to it at that time he was uh um you know he was anywhere between 90 and 80 but listening to that and the way he went about resting it took him to 120. So even when you got to 120 he couldn't die. He was not worn out. Even his eyes were not dim. And God had to tell him, "Look, you have to go. You have you have to die." Think about what that one advice from that great man did to the life of Moses and his longevity. So we are not to underestimate the role that Melkisedc has played. We have learned also that the reason Melkisedc we cannot ignore him is because as he came like or in the likeness of the son of God. He became the prototype. He became the precursor. He became the representative of Christ in the Old Testament. And if you are not careful, you will miss him. That's what the Bible says. You have to consider him how great he was because in certain occasions he seems to be manifesting as the angel of the Lord but it's him. He's manifesting as a certain man but it's him. You see? So understand and the hallmark of the proof that it's him is there. And I think we've shown you a lot of those scriptures uh to show you that it's actually Melkisedc who was operating as the son of God. the son of God. Later on that son of God will come and be manifested to us as Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

This Melkisedc we see how he goes about um in his assignment he looks for those that had the promises of God upon them. And he looks for them because he's going to bless him that had the promise. So basically he's going to effect or to bring to pass the promise of God which God has promised that individual. Abraham had the promise of God. He met Melkisedc. Melkisedc blessed him and that promise was come to pass in his life. We see how he he met um Joseph and blessed him, pointed him where his dream will come through are true. And he as for Joseph, he thought he was lost and there he sees a stranger and we have shared that to show that it was Melkisedc that man that certain man that found him. It was not by mistake. It was purposefully he manifested to guide him there. And we see how in the journey of Jacob, which is the teaching that I just shared with you, how he took care of Jacob and allowed him to receive the genuine blessing that he had been looking for from his childhood when he had been sitting at the feet of his father um Abraham. Um and so we understand um this Melkisedc is the one that wrestled with him. And tonight I want to to dwell a little bit more on that wrestling. Where did it take place and what happened? So we're going to go a little bit deeper. So basically that's why the foundation of that teaching you know it leads up to this uh the Sunday 28th June don't forget go back there because we end up that teaching with the wrestling so but we don't go further or where did Melisedc take uh Jacob and what happened there. So that's what we're going to share tonight. What I want to highlight to you and remind you or emphasize is Melkisedc. One of the things that he came to introduce to us is that he had a revelation of the most high God and he revealed the most high God to us and he is the priest of the most high God. Don't forget that the moment you hear the most high God, you are talking about the ruler of the affairs of men. And when you say the most high God, you are talking about the priest being the Melkisedc. Don't forget that. So when Melkisedc heard how Abraham slaughtered the kings, he went out to meet him and to bless him. And when he went out, although he was a king of Salem, he went out as the priest of the most high and he went with the elements of priesthood being the bread and the wine. And he went out to inaugate Abraham and show him that Abraham indeed you are a king and bless him. So in him all the families of the earth will be blessed and show him his promotion in how he has become the possessor of heaven and earth. And that's what he did. And we see how this Melkisedc reveals Ellelon the most high God. When Ellelon manifests or is revealed to man always it has to do with ruling over the affairs of man. In ruling over the affairs of men, he can promote, he can demote, he can influence the outcomes of even leadership contests. So we see how he gave a kingdom to Nebuchadnezzar. We see how he took a kingdom from Belshazza, his grandson, and gave it to the Mes and the Persians. here on earth. People could say there was a contest, there was a war and the outcome of a war resulted in somebody becoming a a king or a ruler. But behind all that is the most high God. Hallelujah. Is the most high God. You see, so he is involved in the affairs of men. Leadership where human being is concerned and and governance is the most high God with his high priest called Melkisedc. Do not forget that. The other thing I want to remind you is when the most high God manifest with his priest called Melkisedc, there are other stakeholders that are involved and I'm going to introduce some of them to you tonight. So some of those that are involved are called the watchers. The watchers. So we saw how the watchers were involved in giving a decree concerning Nebuchadnezzar. And the other ones are called the holy ones. The holy ones. They just called the holy ones. Now these holy ones may also be called thousands of saints. When you hear the Bible says he came with thousands of saints, those can be the holy ones or what the Bible will call heavenly hosts. So when the most high God has his high priest, the other stakeholders involved is the heavenly hosts or the holy ones and the watchers or thousands of saints. Don't forget that. And you will begin to also understand what the Bible calls principles which in in the Bible they may be termed principalities or dominions or authorities and these are not of darkness. In fact, the principalities of darkness are imitating the principles of the kingdom of light. Don't forget that the dominions of darkness is the mirror image of imitation of the dominions and authorities of the kingdom of God. So don't do not forget that that the most high God when he manifests as the most high Elonor his high priest is Melkisedc and it has to do with the rulership of a man and that rulership will involve watchers holy ones thousands of saints heavenly hosts principles and representatives dominion ions and authorities. So you can hear judges all those have to do with ruling over the affairs of men. Blessed be the name. If you have seen the kings especially in the east, you will see them sitting on a chair that has been carried by men on their shoulders. That chair is a throne that is mobile and you see a king moving from one place to another. You may not get much of it today because of different modes of transport, but that's as close as it is to the most high God who rides upon the wings, you see, the wings of cherub beams.

Hallelujah. When he says he rides upon the wings of cherub beams, the idea is that they are these cherub beams that are mobile and they've got eyes and faces in different directions. And because they are responsible for carrying u the the throne, they carry this throne and when they move this way, they use this face. When they move that way, they use that face. And their coordination is so strong that almost their engine that coordinate all of them. It's it's a wheel. You know the Bible speaks about the spirit that is in the wheel. You know the life that is in the wheel that connects them and they are moving very accurately and with high speed and they will never tilt that that throne not even a little bit you know very very wellcoordinated but there it's a mobile throne now what you need to understand is that throne get carried and get set up in certain places. I'm going to introduce one of those places to you tonight. After this, you will understand such scriptures as we are blessed, you know, with all blessings in heavenly places. You will understand what are those heavenly places. You will get to understand those heavenly places. You will understand such things as where did Satan appear in the day of Job? Which place was that? [clears throat] Hallelujah. So there are places that are meeting place that uh can be visited. Some of you, some of you, and when I say some of you, it means people listening to me now and those who will catch this teaching later. Some of you have had experience in these places. You had no idea what that place is. I'm here to explain to you so you can understand. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

We also saw that Jacob was mentored by Abraham for about 15 years. Because when Jacob was born by Isaac his father, Isaac was 60 years old and Abraham being 100 years older than Isaac. Abraham was 160 and he lived Isaac who didn't seem to be very much impressed with the career choice of Jacob. But Jacob became a mentee of his grandfather and one of the things that it planted in him was the importance of birthight and blessing. He became obsessed if I can use that word with the blessing of Abraham and he went about getting it the wrong way. We shared how he got the birthright by manipulation, how he got the blessing by deception. And those things were not obtained the right way. He needed to obtain them the right way, which is called the path of righteousness. So we know how he was taken on a journey to bring him to truth so he can receive the right way. And when he got it the right way, that's when he encountered Melkisedc. So in uh Genesis 32 we see how he is coming to um before he encounters Melkisedc we see how he first meet the angels and the angels were aware of the danger ahead. He was not aware that actually his uncle has sent people to stir up and provoke Esau to come and meet him and kill him and the the children and Laban. The reason he did that, he was doing so with the hope that he will recover the the property that u uh Jacob was walking away with. In fact, the instruction to Esau uh was kill Jacob. Um and then if some of his sons fight uh also do away with them and then as for my daughters, I want them back because I will give them to somebody else uh and make more money from them. That's Laban's thoughts. And as for the grandchildren, those who become violent to defending their father, kill them, but others spare them for me. They will become my servants and then I'm going to get the livestock. That was Laban's thoughts. You will keep some of the livestock. When that message got there, Esau quickly got 400 men, strong men, to go and kill his brother. Look, he understood that it's not easy to kill Jacob. That's why he went with a big army. So, Jacob was not aware of what transpired. You know what may be the common place of evil people against you? You didn't hear what I said? There are thoughts, evil thoughts that evil people regularly visit those places against your life. And you in your innocence, in your sincerity, you may not think to that level and therefore you may not be able to perceive the danger. I hope you hear what I'm telling you. Why innocent and sincere people have to take heed of the warnings and the reason why also it's easier for them to be harmed. It's easy for them to be harmed because they think everyone thinks like them. So when Laban left him, remember they made a covenant. Laban said, "Let's make a covenant." And Jacob is so evil. Oh my uncle, instead of harassing me, we are making a covenant. Good. Let's make a covenant. He made a covenant. But the Bible says Laban left to his place. And it's quite clear what he did. He sent messengers to provoke. So Jacob is leaving. He's so me and my uncle finally although he did all he did, you know, and I tried to run away without him knowing, at least we are good. We even made a covenant. He's innocent. He's sincere. His mind cannot go down to the level of the evil plan that his uncle has against him. I I hope you are hearing what I'm saying that when you are sincere, you must hear the warnings and heed them. That's part of your defense because in your thoughts, in your mind, you may not be able to visit the level of evil that people think against you because your mind just does not visit those places. You just don't think like that towards people. So that's the reason why the Bible says and the angels of God met him and it was not one angel, it was many. When he said they met him, it was a meeting to warn him >> and [clears throat] there were many. Not only warning him, they were on standby to defend him. They knew that he is going to be in danger. He was not aware. He was not aware. He didn't think about it. But you see when the angels met him, it registered that I am in danger. That's why I started to make a plan. The first thing he does, he send messengers and says, "Go and tell my brother Iso that I'm coming." That was by the Lord. The messengers found indeed that Iso actually is coming to ATTACK HIM. THEN HE became afraid. It started a prayer. A prayer that he prayed. He started to divide the people. He started to send the gifts or the presents. And he found out certain presents are not sufficient to appease the level of anger that can come from your own brother.

Because Esau in his anger, he had reached the highest level of anger. where you are ready to kill your brother like Cain killed Abel. You see before he meets him he realize I have to meet that man that my grandfather Abraham told me about that when he met him he blessed him. That's what he was desperate about that before I meet Esau, I have to have the real blessing. But the real blessing can only come by him that blesses those that have promised. And so when he sent everybody away, he was left then alone. And it is this occurrence when he's alone that I want to draw your attention to because when he's left alone, he is desperate to get the blessing and to get the blessing of God from the man that his grandfather told him about. And he's going to find some things about this man which he didn't hear from his grandfather because the Bible says consider how great this man was. What it means is if we consider the greatness of Melkisedc in relation or as revealed to Abraham we will not have considered everything. We have to consider that greatness as manifested to Abraham as manifested to Isaac. That part we have not gone to as manifested to Joseph. We have visited it as manifested to Jacob. Part one we have done it. Part two is today. How great was Melkise Zedc. And if you want his greatness or understand the full dimensions of his greatness, you have to see whoever he encountered including David. That David that encountered him in Psalm 110. It's worth visiting because there is something there are aspects and dimensions that each one of them will say this is what I experienced of MelkiseDC. Glory to God. Glory. And in that we also understand the function of the son of god. If he came in the likeness of the son of god then you can understand how the son of god works. I gave you an example. Uh you see meedc the great when he blessed Abraham he blessed future generations. He bless the the the the blessing is so advanced. He he interacted with Levi while he was looking at Abraham. And I shared with you that when we look at the master, the Lord Jesus Christ, when they brought little children and the little children were coming in uh to uh to him and the disciples said, you know, it must go away. They must go away. And he said, allow the little children for for such is the kingdom of heaven. And then he led them and then they they came and then he laid hands on them. Now what you may not see is this young boy that was there who later we will know him as Steven. He was one of those little cubes and when he locked eyes with the master his life was never the same. Never the same. the revelation that he had about Christ. He understood Christ from the Old Testament which was the only testament available at his time. He could narrate from the start and show people Jesus in the Old Testament. Glory to God. He could show them >> and they could see and understand Christ Jesus in Melkisedc. And that's why at the end when he was speaking the Bible says his lie his face looked like an angel and they looked at him and said we cannot oppose the wisdom that is in this man. It was coming out the more he was sharing the Old Testament to show them Christ Jesus even in the Old Testament. And those who had ears to hear, they could hear and understood and see Christ Jesus in Melkisedc of the Old Testament. And that's why they said we have to kill him. Have to kill him. But you know what? that hand when Jesus blessed him as a young kid which helped with the revelation and now when they killing him he looks up he sees the master the one who's often seated was standing in honor of this young boy who has become of age and is now standing for the master and something else is going to happen here which is generational he's going I offer a prayer that only the master offered at the cross. Look at the power of that blessing. At the cross, the master said, "Forgive them for they know not what they are doing. In pain, the master prayed that prayer." Not many can pray that prayer in pain. Say forgive them that are causing the pain and say, "Forgive them." But here is rocks hitting him. And the main culprit is the one who has potential to write 14 out of 27 books of the New Testament including the revelation of MelkiseDC. His name is Saul. He's standing there. And this prayer of this young man who encountered Jesus as a small boy and and and received the benefits in Christ Jesus where that way early introduced by Melkisedc generational blessings he stands there this Steven he offers prayer father don't lay this scene to their charge you know people ask who's the spiritual father of Saul is Steven. That's when he gave birth to that soul who later became Paul. The spiritual father of Apostle Paul is Steven. He saved him by that prayer. That prayer is not common. There are not many people you can cause pain to them while they are in the same pain you cause they pray for you. No, there are not many. And if you find those, they are rare, they are precious, they are of a different kind. Glory to God. And so we see how this kind of of the blessing of Melkisedc is so generational and so important. And so that's why for for Jacob his cry now is I want to meet that man. So he was afforded the opportunity. This brings us then to the encounter that he has with this man. If you turn your Bible to Genesis 32, Genesis 32, watch this. Verse 24. And Jacob was left alone. He was left alone. What you will see is in most encounters it's when people were alone when they encountered Melkisedc. Joseph was lost alone. Yes. For Abraham in one of those encounters because it was inauguration he was before the people the kings of Sodom. There was a reason why Melisedc went there. But here he was left alone and there very important it says and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. Now we will come back and read the rest of the verses. He wrestled with the man. And the word wrestle there, I think I shared with you the Hebrew word transliteration, it's abac, which means to wrestle or to grapple. But it also conveys the idea to float away as vapor. To float away as vapor. And that's important. When you study the Bible and you study words, they can unlock understanding. And I want to show you that. So this word aak which means to float away. Yes it means wrestle grapple but it carries with it an idea to float away like vapor. It tells you that actually Melkisedc went somewhere with Jacob. Now I want to show you where he took him and what happened there. And it's in your Bible and that's a good thing about it. Glory to God. It's in your Bible. That's the beautiful thing about it. Now go to Deuteronomy 32 and uh you know we shared with you that you must read 33 and uh 32 is one of those that you must read. I

Want to start it with verse 8. In verse 8, we hear something that happened, and we'll understand where it happened also. Verse 8 says, "When the Most High, the moment you see the Most High, which priest do you see? The high priest." Who's the high priest? Melchizedek. Who else do you see? Who else do you see? Heavenly hosts, holy ones, watchers, principles. Okay, don't forget when the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.

Now we're going to read all the verses that are coming. But I want to just explain what this is saying. This verse is telling us the Most High God, He divided to the nations their inheritance, and He separated them. These are the sons or descendants of Adam, and He set boundaries of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. Now, what is the number of the children of Israel? It's how many? It's 12. Okay. Let me tell you their names. Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Zebulun, Issachar, that's six. Zilpah, which is Leah's maid. It's Gad and Asher. And then you have got Rachel, Joseph, and Benjamin. And then Bilhah is Rachel's maid. She is the mother to Dan and Naphtali. That's 12. If you remove Levi and you remove Joseph, you replace them with Ephraim and Manasseh. But for our understanding now, leave Ephraim and Manasseh out. Let's look at these 12 sons of Jacob. And their only sister was Dinah. Now the Bible says God divided nations and gave them boundaries according to the number of the children of Israel, which is what? 12. Do you know that is so true? Today on earth today, there are 12 geographical boundaries for human population according to environmental factors, human factors, cultural factors. You can Google this, but I want to spare you the Google. Can you bring it up to show them that this is there? They are confirming the Bible. You have it. 12 major geographic realms of the world. The world is divided into 12 major geographic realms based on human cultural and environmental similarities. You can take a prince killing. The first one, North America, which is made of Canada and USA. Middle America, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. South America, the Andes, the Amazon, and the Southern Core. Europe, the densely populated, cultural diverse peninsula. You know, Europe, Russian realm, the massive Eurasian expanse of Russia. North Africa and Southwest Asia, that's the Middle East. Sub-Saharan Africa. South Asia, the Indian subcontinent. East Asia is what? China, Japan, and the Korean Peninsula. Southeast Asia, the mainland and the south of China. Australasia, Australia and New Zealand, and the Pacific realm, which is made of the islands. Now, these groupings, these people, they have got general common cultures, common to them. They say we like common things. They don't know they've been grouped. Now, if the population of the world has been verified by those who gather states, they are confirming Deuteronomy 32, verse 8. They're confirming it. The sons of Adam have been distributed according to this, and according to them, they might just say we just like what we like, but they don't know they are being ruled from somewhere. They have been controlled from somewhere.

But the story gets better because it tells you if these realms are like this, these realms will have principles. These realms will have representatives where the division took place. We still have to go a little bit further. So that's why when it's the Most High, if you are talking rulership over all these realms, He is involved with His priest. So the priest of the Most High God, Melchizedek, is responsible for spreading kings in all those realms. Number two, priesthood in all those realms. You and I, we exist in one of those, right? We are in South Africa here. So there is a realm that we belong in. We are part of it. Glory to God. Hallelujah.

But watch this. Oh, this gets beautiful. "For the Lord, for the Lord's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance." That's verse 9. "He found him in a desert land, take note, and in the waste howling wilderness; and he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye." When did the Lord find him in the wilderness? The time he was wandering alone and stumbled upon a place called Bethel. Stumbled upon the altar that was made by his grandfather Abraham. It's a certain place. He didn't just stumble upon it. He had heard from his grandfather that when I landed here, my first altar was at Bethel, and I was taught the significance of that Bethel as a key point from Melchizedek. Melchizedek had to know the key points because to transfer a spiritual kingdom to become natural, you must know how to enter. You must know the coordinating points. You understand that? Glory to God.

So he says, "As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings." So the Lord alone did lead him. Lead him who? Jacob. And there was no strange God with him. I will come back to this strange God thing. All right. He led him. Verse 13 begins to tell us what he did with him. "He made him ride on the high places of the earth." Uh-uh. He made Jacob ride on the high places of the earth. When did that happen? When did Jacob ride on the high places of the earth? Which one are the high places of the earth? Aha, we're getting there. "That he might eat the increase of the fields. And he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock, butter of cow, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs and rams of the breed of Bashan, the rams that are in the class of Bashan." So the rams that he saw in a vision limping upon the animals producing according to the kind of animals that will go to his favor. He went to a place where he saw these rams. Now. Mhm. "With the fat of kidneys of wheat: and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape." "But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the rock of his salvation." Don't forget that.

So at this point, let me first tell you about the high places of the earth. Firstly, when the Bible says the high places of the earth, it's referring to places that are, you can call them part of the earth, but not on earth. Here, you may say, considered as part of the earth's atmosphere, considered as the heavenly places. Now, when you read your Bible, you will find different kinds of high places. There are high places that exist here on earth, like on the land here on earth. In the Bible, when you read, you must ask yourself, which high place are you talking about? Are you talking about the high place located here on earth, or are you talking about the high place that are on the extreme end of the earth as you leave the earth and you enter other realms outside the earth? So you are with me, I am hoping you are following. So if you look here on earth, they will have places where they worship other gods. They will call them the high places. For an example, Numbers 22:41 tells us there were high places of Baal. Okay, those are high places of Baal. You see that they brought him up into the high places of Baal. If you were to visit this place, you will find it in a mountain here on earth. It's a high place located here on earth. So I'm first defining the high places that are on land, located in the mountain. There are others that are located in waters. I'm not going to those. Then there are high places that were used in the days of Samuel, in the days of Saul, and even in the days of other kings. Some were good high places, some were bad high places in the life of the children of Israel. For an example, in 1 Samuel chapter 9, verse 13 and 14, it tells us about, you know, the high places that, um, uh, you know, Saul was being spoken about by Samuel, you know, when he says, "As soon as you come into the city, you shall straight away find him before you go up to the high place to eat." You see, when they went up into the city, that's verse 14, and when they were come into the city, behold, Samuel come out against them for to go up to the high place. Samuel was going to that high place. These are places where they were worshiping the Lord at the time before they got what? The temple. Okay. Before they got the temple. Are you with me now? That's the high place that the Bible is talking about, which is here on earth. But the one I'm telling you about, it's outside the earth, but it is considered part of the earth, and to go there, you have to ride there, you have to be carried there, you have to float there like a vapor. So look at an example of this. Can you look at Micah 1:3? Micah 1 says, "For behold, the Lord comes forth out of his place." Uh-huh. He's coming forth out of what? His place. "And will come down." Which means his place is up there. He's coming down. Where is he? "And he will tread upon the high places of the earth." So he's coming out of his place and then he's going to pass through the high places of the earth. It's not referring to those places, the high places of the mountain. It's referring to the high places which the Bible in a certain area calls it heavenly places. Are you with me? Glory to God. These high places. If you go to Isaiah 14:14, remember the highest seat that Lucifer is aiming for is the seat of the Most High, because as the Most High, He rules over the affairs of men. Here he says, "I will ascend above the height of the clouds; I will be like the Most High." That word "height" is the word for high place. It's the word *bamah*. B-A-M-A-H. "I will ascend above the *bamah* of the clouds." The high places of the clouds. Now, the one who got a clear revelation of *bamah*, the high place, Ezekiel 20:29. Quickly. Ezekiel 20:29. "Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name whereof is called *Bamah* unto this day." That word *bamah* is the word that refers to the high place. You just need to ask, what kind of high place is that? Is it the high place here on earth, or is it the high place outside the earth but part of the earth? This will help you understand even where such people like Elijah and Enoch went. Glory to God. Hallelujah.

Now we go back to Deuteronomy 32, and then I'll tell you more about this place. Verse 13. This is God talking about Jacob. "He made him ride on the high places of the earth. He made him ride on the high places of the earth." How did he do it? He did that through Melchizedek. Melchizedek carried him into a place called Jeshan. The place is called Jeshan. Put that. Jeshan. Verse 15. And let me tell you about Jeshan. "But Jeshurun waxed fat." Now you can take it out. Let us go a little bit further. Let me tell you about Jeshan. Jeshan is a place, and what it means is righteousness. It's Jeshan means righteousness. This word Jeshan in the whole Bible, it occurs four times. So the first place I showed you in Deuteronomy 32, uh, 13, right? 32:15, sorry. The next one I want to show you, it's in 32, verse 2 and 5. But first of all, let me explain this place to you. Jeshan is a place, and Jeshan, it's a name of a person. I'll tell you who it is. And the is the name of a nation. That place, it's not located here on earth. It's one of the high places that are revealed in scriptures to us, and it's one of the high places on earth, and I will prove the other high places in the scriptures for you. This place, you know, when you are coming to the lower regions, we have already seen in Micah that when God comes out of His place, He treads upon the high places of the earth. So there are places He first goes to, then He comes on earth. If you study the Bible, you will see that God does not just walk everywhere. The Bible speaks, "The way of the Lord, make straight these paths, the rough places, make it smooth and plain." Okay.

Look at Deuteronomy chapter 32. Oh, it's chapter 33. Sorry. We're going to start reading from verse 1. Let's start with verse 1, and then we'll get more about this. "And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. And he said:" So Moses is speaking about before he blesses the children of Israel. This is what he says first. "The Lord came from Sinai, take note. The first place he sees is coming from Sinai. Sinai is a mountain. That Sinai peninsula has a mountain. He's coming from Sinai. And he rose up from Seir unto them. Take note, he's coming from Seir. Which is Mount Seir, which was under Esau or Adam. He shined forth from Mount Paran, another mountain." Mhm. "He shined forth from Mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints." Aha. These are the holy ones. These could be the watchers. These could be the principles. "From his right hand went a fiery law for them." Then he says, "Yea, he loved the people: all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words." And it's happening now. You are receiving of his words at his feet, right? "But Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob." The inheritance of the congregation of who? Jacob. Verse 5. "And he who Jacob, that the previous verse is talking about, was king in Jeshan, was king in Jeshan." You get it? When he's told you are a prince that wrestled, where did the wrestling take place? In Jeshan. He was made to ride upon the high places of the earth. He was taken. They floated away back like a like a vapor to Jeshan. There he met principles. There he understood the subdivision of the earth. And this is the reason why when he comes out of that as a prince, then they know him as a king. Are you with me? This is the reason why when he comes out, his children, none of them will be defeated by those that are subdivided on earth. Verse 5, "He was king in Jeshan." Uh-huh. Let's look. "When the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together, he was a king in Jeshan." When the heads, the word "heads" there is the word *rosh*. R-O-S-H. It's a Hebrew word from which we get Rosh. Rosh Hashanah, the head of the year. The word means *rosh*. It means principles. It means chiefs. Principalities. Chiefs. Chiefs of who? Of the people. The word "people" there, it's nations. "And the tribes of Israel were gathered together." So when he was made to ride in the high places of the earth, he was taken to Jeshan. He experienced a dimension of Melchizedek that his father, his grandfather had not experienced. Abraham had told him that man was strange. There are some things about him that I did not know. You will discover. That's why before he met Esau, he was praying that prayer, "I need to meet the man that blessed my grandfather. He needs to bless me." And therefore he was left alone, and there he wrestled the man. There he was taken, and they floated away like a vapor. He rode upon the high places of the earth, and which means there is more than one. But the one where he landed, it's not heaven. It's not here on earth. It's in the extreme end of the earth in the classification of God. It's classified as part of the earth, just the higher places of the earth. When you tip over the boundary of the higher places of the earth, you get into heavenly places or you get into higher realms. That place called the higher places of the earth, in our language, in our terms, we may call that place heaven. If you are taken there now, and you meet the people who have not reached heaven, you will think those people are in heaven. Sometimes when you hear people say, "I went to a place and I saw a lot of people, it's not even paradise." They went to the high places of the earth.

Can you take a little bit more? When he got there, the Bible says Jacob saw the heads of the nations. Wait a minute. Which nations? The ones that have been divided into according to the 12 children of Israel, which in our own research here on earth, we say we have 12 geographical realms, confirmed. Hallelujah. Glory. "When the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together." Now, when he got there, he found the heads of the people. These are representatives. These are the principles, and in here, they are holy ones. And remember, in this occasion, verse 2 tells us that himself, He came out of Sinai, He rose up from Seir, He shined forth from Paran. So this was a coordinated visit. Man said, "They just went to take this boy. I'm going to take you to meet the one that loved you before you were born. The one who chose you." Did you hear what I said? "I am taking you to a place where you are a king." Huh? Y is going to be in that meeting, and He's coming with thousands of saints, and there you will see the heads of the nations. And when he comes out of there, he will come as the king of Jeshan. Before I get ahead of myself, Isaiah, the great Isaiah that can pierce through all the realms with his eyes, he saw just run. Isaiah who could see in the day of Christ, he sees higher places. Can you take a little bit more?

Look at Isaiah chapter 44. Isaiah 44. It's one of those chapters you want to read because it talks about God and His involvement in the affairs of man to an extent that He can tell you of Cyrus, who will be born and become a king of Persia, and he doesn't know God yet. God anointed him, and God knew him before he was born. But He does not only talk in this chapter about Cyrus. He talks about Jeshan. Watch this. Remember I told you Jeshan is a place. But because the king of Jeshan is Jacob, Jacob is also called Jeshan. Because the children of Jeshan are called Israel after Jacob, they are also called Jeshan. So Jeshan is a place where Jacob visited with Melchizedek, and he became a king there. That's why he was called a prince. He goes out as the prince of God is Israel. He comes down as a prince, but there is a king. Are you with me? And his people will also be known as Jeshan. But look at the great prophet. I love this man. "Yet now hear, O Jacob, that's verse 1, my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen. Thus saith the Lord that made thee, and formed thee from the womb; which will help thee: Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen." When when He tells him, "Fear not, thou Jeshurun," He's trying to tell him, "You are Jeshan. You are a king where all the nations are represented, and you have conquered their representatives." Whom I have chosen. Hallelujah. Glory to God. Glory. Came you did this. So that's why when you go down, you know, when you go down, look at verse 21, Isaiah. Remember in Isaiah, you find yourself, even Jacob can find himself in Isaiah. Those who want to know themselves, they must read the book of Isaiah. Glory to God. All right. "Remember this, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant, O Israel; thou shalt not be forgotten of me." Are you with me? All right. I love this. Look at verse 24. "Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb." The emphasis here, "I formed you from the womb. I formed you from the womb." "I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself." Verse 26. "The Lord that confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof. That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers. That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid." You will see as we close the relationship. Why? He says, Joshua, Jerusalem, Yeshua, Jerusalem. Some of you already got it. You get it? The "U" of "Salm" it's coming from "Juran" is the "Juran." Juran. Close with that. Some of you are still awake. Some of you are asleep a little bit. But anyway, go back to, uh, Isaiah, I mean Deuteronomy 33. "He was king in Jeshan, and the tribes of Israel were gathered together." Are there places like this? What happens in places like this? What does it mean? The heads of the nations. If you can take a little bit more. Go to Revelation chapter 5 and show you something. I think we started to share about this last week when the Bible speaks about a throne was set in heaven. You remember that? And one set on the throne. If it was set, you know, in Revelation 4, verse 2, a throne was set. It's that word "set" like it's set up, which means, you know, you are setting it up in heaven. You know, when we read the Bible, when we think heaven, we just think it's set up there in heaven where He sits. You don't need to set it up. That one is stationary. You understand? Come boldly to the throne of grace. Glory to God. But you know, there are other thrones that are set up in different places. So this one was set up, and then we are seeing that it's set up because they want to read a book. Watch when verse 2 says, chapter 5:2, "I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?" And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. This verse is telling us that on this occasion, in this area where John is allowed to attend for the opening of the book, which he will be allowed to read, when he read it, revealed, right? And he records what he sees. That's the book of Revelation. The book that is going to read here, we are reading it. That's what the Bible says. Blessed are they that hear this book. To think that Satan doesn't want people to get the blessing of reading the book of Revelation. People run away, says, "I don't like the book of Revelation because I'm afraid of it." Some of us have been getting all these blessings alone, and we're still getting there. Glory. Even now, when we read, you know, you know that's what the Bible says in Revelation chapter 1, verse 3, "Blessed is he that readeth." Amen. I receive the blessing. And that that hear the words of these prophecies, I also hear them. Glory to God. "And keep those things which are written therein." I keep them. Glory to God. "For the time is at hand." Blessed is he that readeth. Some people say, "I'm not blessed." Just read the book of Revelation, you are blessed. Hallelujah. Glory to God. Hal. You know why it's a blessing? It's because this book reveals one of the dreams of His many dreams that Almighty God had. This one is the dream that has to do with the segment called the end of age. Not the whole of life, the whole of creation. No. If we go now and say we are going to read the books of the dreams of God, and now you just read His dream about your life, you're just reading. You have a book. This one, you know, when He says, "I know the thoughts that I think toward you, those thoughts that I contain in a book." The book has your name in it. If you go and you look into that book, it's like you travel into His world about you. And it's like you are living as you are reading. You are living and you are experiencing it. You are experiencing that life. You are seeing. Oh, that's why it's to be regretted if people end up in hell. Those people who say, "I would rather go to hell because I'll be with my friends. We're going to party because heaven is a boring place, and, um, you know, uh, you will just be praising and worshiping and so forth." They have no idea. They have no idea about life. Absolutely no idea. I'm not even talking about the book of Jesus about Jesus. I'm talking about the book that contains the thoughts that is for I know the thoughts that I think toward you. Those thoughts that I think toward you, I have expressed them, and they are contained in a book. That's why heaven is full of books. It's full of books. One of the books that you want to read is about your life. Where you come from, who you were before you were formed and made and come and have a human experience. What is your primary objective and purpose? What is your assignment in the universe of universes of the Almighty God? Oh, sometimes you wish you can express it in a way it will burn in somebody that there is more to life. We may have made mistakes sometimes as church people, and sometimes we don't convey the message right. Sometimes instead of life, maybe we convey religion. We may have been wrong in certain cases. It's because what we are trying to convey, sometimes we are understanding also as we go, we are growing as we go. But there is more to this thing, much more. And when you talk Revelation, it's just a segment of human history or the future of the human race that has to do with the last days. It's just that fragment which Almighty God says, "I want to give them so to know what is coming so they can prepare for it, where they should avoid, they must avoid, because I have a part of righteousness for them to avoid this, but this is coming." And I, I, I, if you will, I want to scare the hell out of them so they can come over here. I've got a grand plan for them. So this book that John is allowed to read, take note that in this occasion, there is no man in heaven. That's verse 3, nor in earth, neither under the earth, who was able to open the book, neither to look there. When you read here, when he says there is no man, how will you know they were not able to read unless they were representatives? These three realms had representation in this area, and all representatives, they attempted to open the book. They attempted to look, they couldn't. Are you with me? Amen.

"And I wept much because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders said, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David has prevailed." You mark that word, "has what?" Prevailed. "To open the book and to loose the seven seals thereof." The measure is "prevail." Somebody say, "prevail." Prevail. In this life, you have to prevail, and you are prevailing against the representatives. Are you with me? "And to those seven." "And I beheld, and lo in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent forth into all the earth." "And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne." "When he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of the saints." "And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation." Ah, verse 10. Watch this. "And hast made us unto God kings and priests." The moment you hear that Melchizedek is there, Hallelujah. is there, and we shall reign. The moment you hear kings and priests, Most High God reign, rule, you hear, we shall reign where? On the earth. "And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and an hundred million." In this realm, Jeshan can take how many? This place where he was, it's a 10,000 * 10,000. That's not telling you the capacity of heaven. It's telling you the capacity or potential capacity of this area where the throne was set up for the reading of the Bible. It can contain an invitation of 100 million. And then he says, you know, 10,000 * 10,000 is 100 million. "And he says, and thousands of thousands, thousands of thousands." It's telling you, look, this is an estimation from my eyesight. These are thousands of thousands in this realm. I am privileged to come, this is John, to come to this to witness this and to see the Lamb who is the Lion of the tribe of Judah, and to see the book, and to see the saints. You follow now? You take that, and then you go back to Deuteronomy. Now you have more understanding. Watch this. Let's see the rest of saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing." And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing. How did he hear all the creatures? He heard them by their highest representatives, principles from all those regions. They were there. When they bow, that realm is bowed, because there is no one in that realm who is higher than them. Now take this picture. Let's go to Jeshan. And the three persons in Jeshan, it's Jacob. In this occasion, it's Christ Jesus. Where we are reading, it's Jacob. Who's there? The Most High. He's also here. Who's there? Melchizedek. He's also here. Who else is there? It's 10,000 saints. That's what it tells us. We don't hear these millions. Who else is there? Is the representative from where? From the subdivision of the nations that have been divided according to the tribes of Israel, which is 12, and their heads are there. I think it's landing. It's getting inside. Now, with that understanding, let's just read this a little bit. Deuteronomy 33. You see why Moses, with this revelation he had, why he escaped? Huh? That's why Moses, he escaped because he knew of a place called Jeshan. And when you read, if you read Genesis there in the encounter of Jacob, he just wrestled with men, and then you pass on, just pass and go. You don't know that you have you are reading about a man that has passed the test. Watch this now. Let's read 33:3-2 with understanding now. "And he said, This is the this is Moses. The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them. He shined forth from Mount Paran." Who, how can the Lord come from there and come from there and there and then there? What are we hearing here? You are hearing those spots, those locations, and these are high places that are located on mountains. There are representatives there. They came, those mighty beings. When they come, you think it's God. You hear even in the case of John, the angel that announces, the strong angel. That angel, if he comes here on earth, will say, "God has arrived." Even Melchizedek himself, when he manifests, who will bow down and say, "Oh, God is here. God is here." Anyway, if you can receive it, the God of Abraham. Hallelujah. "The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir; which means the representatives that were in those locations, they come forth, they rose, they shined." And He came with ten thousands of saints. From his right hand went a fiery law for them. So 10,000 of saints. And then this Jacob was the king. Verse 5, "He was king in Jeshan, when the heads of the people and of the tribes of Israel were gathered together." In this realm, there was a test. There was something the heads were supposed to do, like that opening of that book. They were not able to do it, like those representatives from the earth, under the earth, they were not able. But one was able to do it. Now, this is the reason why now you understand here in Deuteronomy, I mean, in Genesis 32. Wow. You still here? In Deuteronomy 32, verse 24. Now read with understanding. "And Jacob was left alone. And there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him," remember the word, "prevailed." "He touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he said unto him, What is thy name? What is your name?" Uh, do you, when you ask people's name, do you say, "What is your name?" or "Who are you?" Is it okay? He said, "Jacob." He said, "Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with man." And has done what? Has done what? He prevailed. Who else prevailed? Christ Jesus. Glory. Hallelujah. Woo. Glory to God. The king of. Can you take a little bit more about Jeshan? Verse 26. Deuteronomy 33:26. "There is none like unto the God of Jeshan." That's the fourth and the last occurrence of Jeshan. You saw the one in Isaiah. You saw this one. You saw the one where he's a king. I will take you to when he says he waxed fat. And what the Bible is talking about there, "There is none like unto the God of Jeshan, who rides upon the heavens in thy help." Who rides upon the heavens in what? In thy help. He rides upon the heavens. In thy help. Now hold it there. "And in his excellency on the sky." His excellency where? On the sky. "He rides upon the heavens in thy what?" In thy help. Can you just visit again? Isaiah 44. "Thus saith the Lord, verse 2, that made thee, and formed thee from the womb; which will help thee." It will do what? "He rides upon the heavens in thy help." The help for who? For Jacob. "Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen." When you talk about God riding in the heavens in the help of Jeshan, Jacob, including now his children. This also talks about the wars that actually happen also in those realms. If you can take more, I will give you a little bit more. Amen.

In Jacob, remember his grandfather told him that man blessed me and said, "I'm a possessor of heaven and earth." Jacob's cry was, "I want to see that heaven that you are the possessor of." Jacob went where his grandfather, Father, did you go? Part of the settlement Abraham possessed was Jeshan, but it will be his son who ascends, riding upon the high places of the earth, and finds himself in Jeshan and realizes, "I am here for a test." And it's possible to pass that test, and he did. Jeshan means righteous, righteousness, or upright. If you see Jeshua as the name of Jacob, he is the upright one. That's why he had to be taken through a journey on the path of righteousness so that the childish things, the false things, the fake things can be removed out of him. He can then be introduced to righteousness. He was not going to prevail if he had not been brought to the truth, which he was asking, telling God, "I don't deserve the least of these mercies and of the truth that you have shown to your servant, where you took me through a journey of cleansing me from unrighteousness, and now you took me to Jeshan, and when you took me there, I prevailed." There are certain things that he gained by righteousness, and when he entered there, he found himself able to prevail. Now, if Jeshan, it's a subdivision, it's called *rosh*, it will be like a subdivision of Melchizedek. The king of Melchizedek was Melchizedek. He manifested, but had its own subdivision, which that's why it's called righteousness. Will be a subdivision of, you understand that? When Jacob became a king there, prevailing there, and came back with a name Israel, so Israel is a prince of God and a king of Jeshan. He understood that the location of Salem, where this Melchizedek is king of, what peace, peace and righteousness must merge to form Jerusalem. The "Je" of "ru" coming from the "Ju" of Jeshan, the "Ju" and the "ru" of Jeshan. When you take those two, you beat them, you merge them, you fuse them, you join them to form Jerusalem. That is now the city of righteousness and peace, which is here on earth. And because it's a physical manifestation of these two cities, righteousness and peace, Salem and Jeshan, which is a subdivision of Melchizedek. Are you with me? Mhm. Instead of having the Salem, you have Jerusalem. And that's why it's a cup of threat. When you hear South Africa taking Israel to court, and we have our own challenges as a result of poking our nose in matters that are too high for us, trying to fight him that has conquered even our representatives, trying to wrestle with him who has conquered our representatives. Huh? The representative of him that we are submitting to the court. The representative of him that we are submitting to the court is Israel, and he is the king of Jeshan. And our own forefathers, our own representatives, they could not pass his test there. He passed, and he came out, and he was a king. What are we? Who are we? That's why I tell you, even if the whole world, and it's scriptural, all nations, the Bible says, will gather against Jerusalem, they will not prevail. What did them? They will not know what did them, because in Jerusalem, the one that fought, He rides upon heavens in the help of Jerusalem. Huh? That's why even those Jewish people, whether they know what belongs to them or not, the fact is it belongs to them. When people fight against them, even in the heavenlies, their helicopters can meet trouble in the heavenlies. Huh? All nations. And that's why there is a hatred that people can't even explain towards Jewish people. There is war about Jerusalem. And people can't even explain why is the world so occupied and obsessed with Israel, with Jerusalem, with Jewish people. They don't know what's pushing them. They can't explain what's pushing them. The jealousy, they, they just don't know. So the king of Jeshan, he prevailed, he conquered, he ruled. Now, as we look towards closing down, the following will start to make a lot of sense about scriptures such as this. Remember the story of Micaiah. Ahab, Jehoshaphat. Ahab wants to go to war, take over Ramoth-gilead. Jehoshaphat is visiting. He's a righteous king. Ahab is a bad king. 400 prophets are prophesying. They say, "Oh, we are telling you about God, you will win." And Jehoshaphat says, "I hear these 400 people agree, but in my heart, the majority doesn't rule. My conscience rules. Can you hear somebody who can verify what these prophets are saying? I have say there is one man. I don't like him. This man, he does not have any good thing to say about me." So they say, "Go and get him." So they went to get him. When they got him, they coached him and say, "When you get there, all 400 of us are saying this thing. You must say the same." He said, "I will say what you want." When he got there, say, "Shall I go to Ramoth-gilead? Will I conquer?" Micaiah said, "Go. He will conquer." He gave him what he wanted. And if he says anything good, he knows there's nothing good. Because if you are walking in the path of unrighteousness, you mustn't expect any blessing, you should expect warnings rather. So he said, "Tell me the truth." Said, "Do you want to know the truth? I saw Israel scattered like sheep without a shepherd." He said, "Do you hear him?" He said, "I'm not finished yet." He said, "I saw the Lord." Let's look at that scripture quickly in, uh, in 1 Kings 22. 1 Kings 22. Verse 17, he said, "I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills as sheep that have not a shepherd." And the Lord said, "These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace." And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, "Did I not tell you that he will prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?" And he said, "Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne. And what? All the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left." This is the Most High God, right? The host of heaven are there. "And the Lord said, Who shall persuade him, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?" And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner. These are representatives. They are speaking and say, "Oh, we can do it like this. We can do it like this." But remember, good people, righteous people don't have evil suggestions. It's like gathering pastors and say, "Let's go rob the bank. How do we go?" Right? Only a crook pastor will be the one who will come with an idea. But most of them will say, "Let's pray in tongues." You know, some will say, "Let's pray." The other ones will say, "Let's sing so the wall can come down like in the day of, um, Joshua, you know." But the crook one is the one who say, "Look, boys, I know how we can rob the bank." You understand? So you can imagine when the suggestion is being asked, these are righteous ones. Nobody is going to come here and have really an idea. But this real, this is the thing that you must know about such places as Jeshan. They can be taken over. That's very important. Okay? Don't be afraid of, don't forget what I just, those places can be taken over. That's why Moses says, "Jacob was a king in Jeshan." He says he was. Did you see that's what it says? Was a king in Jeshan. Was. This is 400 years later. Remember, was who's in charge of Jeshan at the time Moses is writing? Was when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together. Was. So you will now understand that verse where he says, "Joshua grew faith." How people invite spirits to some of these places, okay? Don't forget. I'll go back to. So Jeshan is, is for Jacob, right? What, what did Abraham get into? Abraham's bosom. That's a realm. Abraham's bosom. It's a realm that he discovered, and there the *rosh* were gathering there when they die. Abraham's bosom. Jeshan saved another purpose, part of the high places. Are you with me? So I'll go. So we can see. Hallelujah. So he says in 1 Kings 22, we are just seeing another example, right? "I saw the Lord sitting." So he says, "Who will persuade?" So one said this, another said that. So God can tell you, "Oh, I am so happy that none of you are evil, because none of you came with a suggestion that is evil enough to catch that evil king called Ahab." God was happy that none of them on the right and the left came with such an evil suggestion. He was happy. What happened? "And there came forth a spirit." You see, it came forth. Which means it was not part of this occasion. Yes, it was not on the right. It was not on the left. It came forth. So these territories can be breached. There came forth a spirit and stood before the Lord and said, "I will persuade him." And the Lord said unto him, "Wherewith?" And he said, "I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets." And he said, "Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so." Do you see the word in this territory? The word is "prevail." The key word in the in the territory, it's a language. The language of this kind of realms is the word "prevail, prevail, prevail." So mighty grew the word of God and prevailed, prevailed. That's the key word. Now I want you to see now, if you now go to Deuteronomy 32, verse 15, first of all, I want you to read verse 12 so you can see why God took Jacob. "So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange God with him." Do you hear this? He led him. So in leading him, He made him ride on the high places of the earth. Why? Verse 12 says, "Because there was no strange God with him." This is very important. So you can hear where strange gods come from and are ruling from, when you hear wicked, wicked spirits, where? In high places. Which high places of the earth? So Jacob was taken there because he had no strange God. This man never served other gods, regardless of the difficulties he had in his life. If you can understand the value of a man or a woman of God who, regardless of difficulties, even when they suffer for righteousness' sake, there are certain things they will not go down to. Jacob was one of those. Look at Genesis 35. We'll go back. Verse 1. "And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother." Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, "Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments: and let us arise, and go up to Bethel: and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went." And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings, which were in their ears. And Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem. Jacob knew that his family members, they visit Sangomas in today's expression. He knew that yes, when they are with me, they say, "The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac," but on the corner, they are worshiping a strange God. He knew it. When God appeared to him as a job, I want you to go to Bethel, he knew, "I'm going to a place where these people that are mixing stuff, they're not bringing this stuff there because evil likes to attach itself to such places." Are you here? There are Christians. They could be even listening to me now or in the future, because of difficulties in life, they visit Sangomas, they make stuff. Those kind of people, they deny themselves. The way Jonah put it, he says, "He that followeth lying vanities forsaketh his own mercy." Those that observe lying vanities, they forsake their own mercy. They are following them. You forsake your own mercy. When, when, when Jacob says, "I don't deserve the least of the mercies you showed me." Why? It's because even when his uncle was mistreating him, instead of becoming an evil man, he took it to, "I am reaping what I've been sowing. I'm understanding the pain I was causing the other, my twin brother." I'm not going to become wicked, and then he obtained righteousness. When he obtained it, he doesn't have strange gods. Those people that have options when they meet difficulties in life and say, "Look, if I meet difficulty, I do this my own way, I do it that way, I do this way, that way, that way." You know, they are under pressure. They resort to drinking, they resort to this lifestyle, to that lifestyle. These places, they might TV.
