Messages of End Time Truth

PREFACE

The chapters of this book are made up from a series of messages written and published in booklet form in the early days of this writing ministry.

Searching for some sound scriptural key by which every revelation could be measured and tested, I discovered that the life of Jesus in His humanity here on earth was a divine pattern for the perfect end-time Body of Christ.

In quoting God’s command to Moses in Exodus 25:40, it says in Hebrews 8:5: “See, saith He, that thou make all things according to the pattern showed to thee in the mount”. Moses, while on the mount and in the presence of God, was introduced to the pattern of the tabernacle planned and designed by God Himself. Moses was instructedto return to the people and reproduce in physical, visible form a replica of that which he had seen.

So in these last days, men are being caught up in the Spirit to the “mount of God”, and in His divine presence they are seeing the glorious pattern of God’s Son. Thi s ” Mose s Company” of Overcomers are instructed to reproduce, by the power of the Spirit, this glorious life of the Son on this earth, in mortal bodies, in physical, visible form for all the world to see. With these “Sons of God” being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ, He then will truly be the firstborn of many brethren.

These first six messages are only an introduction to this pattern. Every thing about His life, in His humanity, applies to His Body. What He was to the Father, we are to Him. His image, His glory, His witness, and much more. Unless you go on into the Gospels and discover the many glorious truths pertaining to the Body of Christ in its perfection, then you are missing the purpose of the messages of this book. The tabernacle was the “type”, Jesus was the “prototype” (meaning the original hand made model of the intended construction, having everything in it that the finished product would have), the early church was the “first-fruits” or “earnest”, while the perfected glorious church of the end-time (both in heaven and on earth, and including those who obtained a good report through faith) is the “anti-type” or finished product.

Any revelation which does not fit into the pattern of the life of Jesus, can be safely discarded. Side issues, tangents, strange doctrines, heresies, and traditional fairy tales cannot measure up or fit into the purpose of God for His Son and His many-membered Body. So we present to you, for your safety on this journey to Sonship, JESUS the Pattern Son.
