The Observer and The Observed Pt.2
JEREMIAH 1:5
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
This is showing us something very deep here of our pre-existence of how that we all had our existence in the mind of God before we came into this life here on earth. Because we find here that Jeremiah had already been ordained a prophet in the eternal thoughts of God before he had even been born.
*Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
PROVERBS 16:9
9 ¶ A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
We may choose our way in life, but all along life’s journey, it is the LORD that is directing our steps.
Your way is your general direction, but your step is to do with the details of your journey. “Each step it take, my Saviour goes before me, and with His loving hand, he leads the way” – “and I am strong, when He is by my side”.
PROVERBS 21:1
1 ¶ The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
**Every detail concerning your life is under the complete control of Almighty God for the purpose of bringing you to an expected end – and that term expected end means “a positive outcome” – an outcome of our greatest hope and joy.
I CORINTHIANS 13:12
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
Amplified Bible
For now [in this time of imperfection] we see in a mirror dimly [a blurred reflection, a riddle, an enigma], but then [when the time of perfection comes we will see reality] face to face. Now I know in part [just in fragments], but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known [by God].
The Observer and The Observed Pt.2
This word “Observer” is to do with a person who notices and watches, or studies something. And the word “Observed” means something that has been noticed by someone. Or in other words we could say something that is being noticed and studied by someone who is noticing and studying - its two half of the same thing.
And so these two words go together almost like a husband and wife in that they both need each other in order to fulfil each other.
*When you observe a great work of art, you are become observer and the art is the thing that is being observed – and so it requires both in order to give purpose and fulfilment to the other and to complete experience.
**Brother Branham preached a message called the deep calleth to the deep and explained to us that is impossible for you to have a desire for something if that something does not first exist to satisfy that desire.
*And so the first thing that is require for a human being in order to be able to visually observe something, is light.
If there was no light, then there would be no observation of things by our sense of sight.
*For us to be able to see and to appreciate the great realm of nature and creation that God has created – it first requires light to be shining onto that realm of nature.
***Most people love to observe nature – it awes and inspires us, and it pulls something up from deep within us like how a great painting by some great artist may do.
When great art is observed, it can often move your emotions in a way of what can even transport you as it were into another world – but for any of this to occur, it first requires the presence of light to strike the surface of that painting in order for the glory of that painting to be reflected and revealed back to you.
ZECHARIAH 14:6-7
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
When light shines, then things that were once dark and mysterious can now be revealed and observed and understood and appreciated.
*And so we notice with all of this that it requires an observer to observed what that light is revealing. In other words, without the observer, there would be no purpose or need for the light.
**Something else that we need to realise, is that it is the light that conveys the information from the observed to the observer, and unless you have the presence of light, then there can be no connection and information pass between the observer and the observed in order to satisfy the purpose of both parties – this is how they can tell so much information about stars thousands of light years away. The light has all that information stored within itself.
**That is why that when the seven seals were opened, then that was light shining and conveying information to the observer of what had been sealed up since the foundation of the world. And this is why we have messages like “The Mighty God Unveiled Before Us”, and all these kind of titled sermons – because the one that we are to observe in this hour had arrived on the scene.
GENESIS 1:3
3 ¶ And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And so light was created by God in order to reveal and convey the information of things that were once hidden in darkness and of what would have remained a mystery to us unless the light had come.
And we know that it was God Himself who was actually the one who was the greatest mystery of all – and so the purpose of all light was to ultimately reveal and unveil that God to us.
REVELATION 10:7
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
And we can connect this scripture with…
ZECHARIAH 14:7b
7b: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
The mysteries of God are finished because of the presence of the light that has been promised by God to shine at the evening time – but there needs to be observers of that object that the light is shining on, or there would be no use for sending that light.
IS.THIS.THE.SIGN.OF.THE.END.SIR_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-11 SUNDAY_ 62-1230E
15-1 And said, "Then you picked up something, like from the air, something like a wrecking bar, or--or a crowbar," wasn't it, brother? Something like that, a wrecking bar, real sharp, and said, "How you done it, I don't know." And said, "You struck the top of that mountain, ripped it around, and lifted the cap of it off. It was in the shape of a pyramid. And you ripped the top of it off." Now, that was months and months and months before the pyramid message was preached. And said, "Beneath that was white stone, granite, and you said, 'The sun, or the light, has never shined on this before. Look in on this. Watch this.'"
And that's right, because in the formation of the world, the world was formed before there was light. We all know that. God moved upon the water, and--and then in the beginning He spoke for light. And naturally, down under there in the age that formation was, that light had never come upon that stone.
15-3 And he said, "Look upon this. Light has never come upon it before." (in other words, the information of this rock revelation has never been observed and comprehended before by human beings) And when all of them got up, and I told them to watch that, and all of them come up to look in.
*He told them to stay and observe what this light was shining on, this portion of rock that had never had light shone on it before – but we know that very few stayed and kept observing as he had told them to do. They became distracted by other things.
**It is very evident to us that light was created by God for the purpose of conveying information to the observer of the thing that that light shines upon or reflected off – everything that we see with our eyes is carried to us by light that is reflected off of something.
And we know that God is the greatest thing that is to be observed, because in Him all things consist.
**And so it takes this light along with both the observer and the observed together to complete the full purposed for the expression of God to be completed – for the Mighty God to be fully unveiled to the observer.
*Every great artist needs to have observers that can understand and appreciate his art or there would be no real purpose for that work of art to have been created into existence in the first place – because if art could not be expressed and comprehended by an intelligent and observing people, then it would never actually be able to be expressed at all.
***It would be possible for the art to still be created (just like God could have gone on and created a beautiful and glorious creation), but that art could never be expressed in a way of being appreciated and admired and comprehended if there was no one that was able to receive that expression.
***And this is why that the message of the hour teaches us that it was God’s ultimate purpose to express Himself – and so in order to express Himself, He had to create us with the full capacity to be able to receive and comprehend that expression – in other words, He would need out of necessity observers that would be able to give fulfilment to that expression by their full comprehension and appreciation. And it is this that is what true worship is connected to. **Worship is the capacity to fully observe and appreciate God – to comprehend the great nature of His character and the works of His creation.
CHRIST.IS.THE.MYSTERY.OF.GOD.REVEALED_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-7 SUNDAY_ 63-0728
141 The first thing was, that, God wanted to reveal Himself to the people.
142 He couldn't do it as a great Jehovah God Who covered all space, time, and Eternity. He could not. He is too great to ever be revealed to people, because it would be too mysterious.
How could that great Being that never did begin... that after you went beyond the cycle of a hundreds of billions and trillions and trillions of years of light space, and on out into the infinite, into the Eternity, and a great Creature that was all that, and still is.
143 But what He wanted to do, He loved fatherhood, for He was a Father. And the only way that He could express it was to become a Son of man. That's the reason Jesus kept saying, "The Son of man." See, they didn't know what He was talking about, many of them. But now you get it? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] See? He wanted to express Hisself. That was His, one of His great threefold purposes, was to express Himself, identify Himself with human beings, to reveal Hisself in Christ.
**Scientists are beginning to realise that consciousness is the fundamental of everything, because we know that everything had its beginning in a conscious mind (the mind of God).
**And out of that great consciousness of God’s great mind came the expression of his eternal thoughts in the form of the spoken word of God (from thought to word), and so then it goes through a process of being spoken as a word to then being expressed in creation of what we can see and touch and taste and feel and hear.
**And all of that was for the purpose so that the original thought of God could be transferred into our conscious mind from His thoughts to our thought – the thoughts of the observed becoming the thought of the observer.
***And that is how the mystery of God is finished – when we as the observer have come into the full comprehension of the original thought of the one who is the Observed.
Opening scripture:
I CORINTHIANS 13:12
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
Amplified Bible
For now [in this time of imperfection] we see in a mirror dimly [a blurred reflection, a riddle, an enigma] (An enigma is a person, thing, or situation that is mysterious, puzzling, and very difficult to understand.
There was a WW2 cipher device known as the Enigma Machine, and it was used by the Germans to encrypt and decrypt top-secret military communications. It looked a bit like a typewriter, and its purpose was to scrambled text through a complex combination of rotating wheels that actually generated around 159 quintillion combinations – that’s 159 with 18 zeros. And that is what the opening of the seven seals was all about – it unlocked the entire encrypted mystery of the entire bible, and the bible unlocks the entire mystery of yourself, of who you really are), but then [when the time of perfection comes we will see reality] face to face. Now I know in part [just in fragments], but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known [by God].
**When you are revealed to yourself so that you are able to see who you really are in the same way that God sees you, then that is when you will also really see who God. “but then shall I know even as also I am known.
Article titled: The Earth is in the Best Position to Observe the Universe
These are some excerpts copied from that article.
Earth is perfectly positioned not only for life but in order to observe life and the universe around us.
There are astronomers who are astounded by the fact that the positioning of the earth in the universe around it means that we have a clear view of the universe in order to study it. It is almost as if God intended for us to learn about His creation by virtue of the position where He placed Earth. Look at the image above of our solar system (in the box) and its relationship to the Milky Way Galaxy in which it is placed. Earth is not buried in the midst of a dense cluster of stars, it is positioned high and free to give us the best position to observe our surroundings.
Furthermore, the fact that Earth is position in a radial arm galaxy enables us to look out on the universe around with an unimpeded view. We are not buried in the midst of the galaxy we are in with dense patterns of stars around us, neither are we clouded or enshrouded by meteor clusters or space detritus. We have a clear and unimpeded view of the universe from which to observe the heavens and the Earth.
Another article stated:
We live in a distinct epoch (precise period of time) of the universe's expansion. If we lived much earlier, the universe would be too dense and volatile for life; if we lived much later, the expansion of dark energy would push other galaxies beyond our visual horizon forever, leaving us in a dark, unobservable void.
REVELATION 10:7
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God (the hidden things) should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
*The hidden things cannot be finished until there is a shining of the light and a people on earth that can first receive and observed and comprehend the mysteries that that light reveals.
**And so it takes both the observer and the observed together to fulfil and complete the prophecy for this hour.
***And so we must realise that this is what we have been raised up for in this day – to be the observers of the things that God has revealed to us in this hour.
This is what we have been called for in this day – and that is why that we are required to eat the book of the truth of what God has shone His great light on of for this hour.
God needs observers of the light of this hour in order to fulfil prophecy.
And so we are called to be faithful stewards of these things.
I CORINTHIANS 4:1-2
1 ¶ Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
**Our lives are not just an accumulated bunch of random events that happen to us during our life time, but it is God that has planned our lives from the foundation of the world to match the prophecies of the scriptures that He has spoken about us concerning this hour of an end time bride of Christ that was to appear on the earth in these last days.
