↝ TOUCH THAT HEALED AND IMPARTED DANIEL ↜

[Daniel 10:16 AFV] — "And behold, one looking like the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who stood before me, “O lord, my sorrows have overwhelmed me because of the vision, and I have retained no strength."

[Daniel 10:16 LG] — "And behold, as it were the likeness of a son of man touched my lips; and I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him that stood before me, “O my lord, at the sight of you my insides were turned within me, and I had no strength."

[Daniel 10:16 BSB] — "And suddenly one with the likeness of a man touched my lips, and I opened my mouth and said to the one standing before me, “My lord, because of the vision, I am overcome with anguish, and I have no strength."

These three components of this bible verse in red are what we are called to behold, to see, to notice or to mark for this very verse: If you learn of these three points, and keep them in your learning, you will do better spiritually.

■1■ — Behold (or see, notice or mark), one looking like the sons of men touched my lips.

■2■ — Behold (or see, notice or mark), as soon as he touched my lips — Then I opened my mouth (for the first time or I had ability power or boldness to even talk to him which I didn't have before), and to address him (like I couldn't do before. His touch on my mouth gave my mouth abilities to speak with him, talk to him).

■3■ — Behold (or see, notice or mark, the first thing) I said to him when I first talked to him or with him, — “O my lord, at the sight of you (at the vision of you) my insides were turned within me, and I had no strength."

Now, I should say I am done here, but I don't feel it's enough yet. I have to still help you to behold, see, notice or mark these things, better. So let's see or notice them together:

■1■ — Behold (or see, notice or mark), one looking like the sons of men touched my lips.

Three things to notice here: — One, what he looked like when he was touching me; Two, where exactly he touched me; Three, sudden, unexpected or unanticipated nature of his touch.

♡A♡ — This was the second time he touched Daniel, and yet each time he touched, Daniel could not pinpoint who or how exactly he looked like apart from he looking like a man or like sons of men.

It's good to know who or what is touching you, especially touching or kissing your lips, but don't always insist on knowing the person first before allowing him to touch you or your lips. I say this because spiritual beings sometimes come or want to touch you without them making you to know them first. Some would even extend their hand to touch you, while hiding their faces, so that you do not know exactly who is about to touch you but just his hand coming to touch or kiss you. Even the Lord does this, putting out His Hand to touch, while hiding His other Body Parts:

[Jeremiah 1:9 BSB] — "Then the LORD reached out His hand, touched my mouth, and said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.”

But the moment someone touched Him secretly, the Lord Jesus stopped what He was doing to findout and to know who touched Him. So, you may not insist on knowing him before he touches you but, insist on knowing him when/after he touches you powerfully:

[Luke 8:45-46 BSB] — "“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.” But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.””

This woman with the issue of blood touching just the hem of the Lord's garment, and the Lord Jesus picking the signal and message of just that clothe touch alone, was liken to Elisha picking up the signal and message of Elijah’s clothe cast on him in ‘1 Kings 19:19.’ In both cases, the touch was not even body to body touch, but was body to cloth’s touch only; and yet, the sensitivity was very high.

♡B♡ — Though this Prince with golden waist belt touched Daniel physically three times, Daniel only specified where exactly this one of his three touches touched him on his body. He touched Daniel’s lips in this specification. This means, this touch was not just another “Laying on of hands” but a “Specific Touch” (by lips).

I tell you this: — In bible, Laying on of hands are different from touching specified parts of the body of man or woman. Difference:

~ * ~ Laying on of hands are for “Impartation” of spiritual gifts or blessings on those hand-laid. Usually, the Laying on of hands are on the heads, shoulders or hands, of the ones getting laid. While,

~ * ~ Touching Specified Parts of another man's or woman's body in spiritual ministration are for “Healing or Restoration.” So, you can tell this touch to Daniel by that Principality was a “Healing Touch” or “Restoration Touch;” not just Impartation: Or was both.

The Lord Jesus Christ in doing Healing sometimes, touched the ears of the deaf and sighed “Ephatha” (Be opened), sometimes spat on the tongue of the dumb, sometimes spat on the ground and made mud to rub on the eyes of the blind etc. All in Healing. A related difference between Elijah—Elisha Cloth Touch mentioned here above, and that of the Woman—The Lord Jesus Cloth Touch, was that one of Elijah—Elisha was “Impartation Touch” because no specific place or point of touch was mentioned, but that of the Woman—The Lord Jesus was “Healing Touch” because it was specified she touched, not just His garment but the Hem of His Garment as in, the edges of His Garment. Others or the crowd were touching Him anywhere, but she was specific because she was after the Healing Touch.

The Healing Touch wants its touch to be precise or specific, and by faith, for the Healing to spark and react. And thanks to this woman with the issue of blood, we now know that the sick can also touch the Healer to get healed, not just the Healer touching the sick to be healed. If the Lord Jesus was to touch her to heal her, where would He have touched her? On her breast standing above her chest under which her heart that issues the blood was? Or where? But to avoid having to touch specific private parts of a woman or man based on where exactly needs Healing on their bodies, let them instead touch the Healer on specific points and still be healed like that woman with issue of blood taught us. Or just speak the word, and heal them by just the Word of Healing.

The Man that wrestled with Jacob performed two touches on him: one, touched a specific part of his marrow within his bones and dislocated his limb (reverse of Healing Touch physically, but actually Healing Touch spiritually to him). Afterwards, He blessed Jacob having changed his name to Israel (Laying on of Hand). All the other touching during their wrestling together did not count.

♡B♡ — His touch on Daniel came suddenly, unexpectedly or was not anticipated by Daniel. Actually, none of those I mentioned here anticipated the “Healing Touch” as I described here. This means, the faith or expectation of those being touched did not matter to the Healing Touch from those doing the touching. So, a Healer does not need to start preaching, announcing or encouraging you to expect your Healing or Touching today or tonight, as if your permission, authorisation or belief is required for Healing Touch to work on you.

■2■ — Behold (or see, notice or mark), as soon as he touched my lips — Then I opened my mouth (for the first time or I had ability power or boldness to even talk to him which I didn't have before), and to address him (like I couldn't do before. His touch on my mouth gave my mouth abilities to speak with him, talk to him).

The reason why the touch was Healing Touch was because of the Specification and the Restoration associated with the Touch on Daniel. However, it was also an Impartation Touch because it gave or added some ability to Daniel that was not in Daniel before. That was the ability to talk or speak before the presence of the Prince with the golden waist belt.

Spiritually, there are beings, who by you just seeing them in full manifestation would stroke you dumb, blind, marred, disfigured, or even dead. The Lord God told Moses, no man can see Me (in full manifest glory) without him being struck dead. That was beyond being struck dumb, but struck dead.

The touch healed or restored Daniel’s abilities to speak again, but also came with upgrades that enabled him to endure talking with such manifest Principalities and Powers. This Principality was the highest Being Daniel encountered physically, and so when he encountered Gabriel subsequently Daniel was not that much struck again. You now understand better why John had to encounter the Lord Jesus Christ Himself first in the book of Revelation, before John encountered other lesser but highly great Beasts and Beings and Principalities without all such effects again.

■3■ — Behold (or see, notice or mark, the first thing) I said to him when I first talked to him or with him, — “O my lord, at the sight of you (at the vision of you) my insides were turned within me, and I had no strength.”

Did you notice that though John saw the Lord Jesus in the book of Revelation, John couldn't speak to Him throughout the book of Revelation. The same Lord Jesus he, John, was so casual with and leaning on then; but herein John saw Him and became like a dead man before He, out of Who's Mouth proceeded Sharp Double Edged Sword and, who was having the Voice of Multitude, having Lightnings and Flames of Fire in His Eyes etc.

According to Daniel here, the first word Daniel was able to say to or before this great presence and Principality was the word of prayer, confessing how weak, frail, inadequate etc. he was and had become just by see him or by the sight (vision) of him. Some men of God like Daniel confessed their weaknesses or inadequacies as excuses, during their first of such encounters. Moses confessed or complained he was slow of speech - a stammerer, perhaps by that encounter; Jeremiah confessed or complained he was too young of speech - perhaps by that encounter. Daniel was like, your presence or appearance is so majestic and awesome that they destabilise my inwards, making me defenseless, and I had no more strength.

[Song 6:4-5 NCB] — "You are as beautiful as Tirzah, my beloved, as lovely as Jerusalem, as majestic as an army with banners. Turn away your eyes from me, for they leave me defenseless..."

Therefore, the disfiguration of Daniel by this vision was not from outward to inward, but rather from inwards to outwards. Daniel’s was manifesting the disfiguration he was experiencing inside, out.

[Lamentation 4:10] — "The hands of loving women have cooked their own children to eat during the destruction of Jerusalem."

↝ FROM MOTHER TO IDOL RITUAL: TO THESE, SHE SACRIFICED CHILDREN OF GOD BY HER ↜

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Still in the series of to whom or to what the unfaithful Bride gave or used up all the good things the Lord, Her Husband, had given to her: — In this fifth episode or in this bible verse in red, it was the “Sons and Daughters” the Lord her Husband gave or pregnanted her with, and to whom or to what she eventually gave those. She gave them in sacrifice or offering to be devoured by her idols.

She took her children that were also children of the Lord, and offered them to her idols to be devoured or sacrificed: — This act of maternal filicide made her worse than a harlot, because she was also a murderer and the blood of the children of God was found in her. Thus, she was worse than Sodom and Gomorrah: — For she was in the class of mystery Babylon the great mother of harlots and abominations of the earth. This Classification I have declared here, I will justify here also.

Though there are harlots, whores or prostitutes in the bible, those among them that saved lives were honoured above those of them that only destroyed lives by fornications. So, we can group harlots or prostitutes into two groups based on “Saving a Life” and “Not Saving any life.”

■1■ — Prostitutes, harlots or whores, that saved Lives:

This group of harlots are those who had regard for lives or souls, even though they were in business of fornications (which destroys lives). Proverbs said her guests died and ended in hell [Proverbs 9:18] but these harlots ensured they saved some of their guests from death and hell. This group of harlots or prostitutes included:

Rahab the Harlot: — Her guests, the two spies, at her house were saved from death and hell in Jericho. Rahab the harlot did for the spies in her country opposite of what Delilah the harlot did for Samson in her country. As it is written,

[Hebrews 11:31 NEB] — "By faith the prostitute Rahab escaped the doom of the unbelievers, because she had given the spies a kindly welcome.”

Prostitutes or Harlots that would neither Abort their children nor kill children: — The two women dragging oownership over a living baby before king Solomon were harlots that got pregnant but did not abort their pregnancies. One of them carelessly caused the death of her own child, and then coveted the living child of her fellow harlot. When suggestion of killing the only living child between the prostitutes came up, since the child was born bustard or born of fornication, one of the prostitutes agreed to destroy the life of the boy, but the true mother would rather give the boy child up to another mother or for adoption than to see the child dead or killed. Though she's a harlot, her saving even her child was good.

Gomer, the harlot, was married by a prophet of God named Hosea. Though married, she still committed fornication in her adulteries that got her pregnant 3 times after being married. Her husband, the prophet, knew they were not his children even without any “DNA-Report” on those children. Infact, he named one of them, “Not-my-People” and another, “No-mercy.” The point is, she knew he would know the children were not his, for he had not slept with her since he married her, and she knew he had such hostility against those children; yet inspite of these she still had and saved those children without abortion or rejection of anyone of them. Later, her husband eventually adopted them as his, and changed their names: renamed “Not-my-people” to “My-People;” and also renamed “No-mercy” to “Mercy.” As it is written,

[Hosea 2:23 MKJV] — "And I will sow her to Me in the earth. And I will have mercy on No-mercy. And I will say to Not-my-people, You are My people. And they shall say, My God.”

What of the woman caught in the very act of adultery, on whom no one without sin was to cast the first stone, after the Lord Jesus Christ ruled on her accusers’ appeal? Many only saw she's saved by the Lord Jesus, but did not see she also saved people. How did she save anyone in that incident? By her not talking to implicate anyone, not even accusing those accusing or condemning her. She was caught in an act of adultery, but she did not mention the man or men she was in that act of adultery with. She knew the sins of some of those condemning her, but she wouldn't revile, accuse or condemn them in return: she was willing to be stoned alone and to die alone, without even pleading her own case. That was saving.

■2■ — Prostitutes, harlots or whores, that did not save but destroyed Lives:

In the bible verse in red, the unfaithful Bride, Jerusalem, after giving birth to the Children of God (like Mary gave birth to the Son of God), as virgin — when she became a LovePeddler she offered those children of God to be devoured by her idols: and God, remarked that this was beyond her being just harlot or prostitute, for she also became a murderer of the children of God. The blood of the saints and children of God was found in her, like it was found in Babylon the great mother of harlots & abominations of the earth:

[Revelation 18:24 MKJV] — "And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all those who were slain on the earth.”

Jezebel was so bad, but at least Jezebel still had feelings for her children though she killed God’s prophets in days of Elijah.

[Revelation 2:20-23 LG] — "But I have this against you, that you tolerate your wife Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit fornication and eat things sacrificed to idols. And I gave her time so that she might repent, and she does not wish to repent of her fornication. Behold, I am casting her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, if they do not repent of her works. I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.”

Threatening to kill the children of Jezebel would scare Jezebel, but threatening to kill the children of the unfaithful Bride in the bible verse in red would not scare her, seeing she was the one who even killed her own children and gave them in sacrifice to be devoured by idols. She became as foolish as this woman complaining below:

[2 Kings 6:28-29 BSB] — "Then the king asked her, “What is the matter?” And she answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him, and tomorrow we will eat my son.’ So we boiled my son and ate him, and the next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him.’ But she had hidden her son.””

[Lamentation 4:10 FBV] — "The hands of loving women have cooked their own children to eat during the destruction of Jerusalem."

↝ FROM FEEDING TO IDOLS: TO THESE, SHE GAVE THE FOODSTUFFS THE LORD GAVE HER ↜

[Ezekiel 16 :19 NKJV] — Also My food which I gave you—the pastry of fine flour, oil, and honey which I fed you—you set it before them as sweet incense; and so it was,” says the Lord God.
⇵
[Ezekiel 16 :19 BBE] — "And my bread which I gave you, the best meal and oil and honey which I gave you for your food, you put it before them for a sweet smell, says the Lord."
⇵
[Ezekiel 16 :19 NCB] — "You also took the food that I had given you— the fine flour, the oil, and the honey with which I fed you— and set it before them as a pleasant odor, says the Lord GOD."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Still in the series of to whom or to what the unfaithful Bride gave or used up all the good things the Lord, Her Husband, had given to her: — In this fourth episode or in this bible verse in red, it was the “Fine Flour, Oil and Honey” the Lord her Husband gave or fed her with, and to whom or to what she eventually gave those. She gave them in sacrifice or offering to her idols.

The Lord's Foodstuffs to her included the Flour, the Oil and the Honey: These three are enough for bread, cakes or pastry (where the honey replaces sugar). She took the food given to her, offered the food to her idols: though her idols do not literally eat the food, aroma or scent of the food is dedicated to perfume or to perform for the idols. After the idols receive the aroma or scent of the food offered to them, she then complete the ritual by eating the food or get others to eat the food sacrificed to the idols, like Jezebel would

[Revelation 2:20-23 NCB] — "Nevertheless, I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and who by her teaching is luring my servants into acts of fornication and encouraging them to eat food that has been sacrificed to idols. “ ‘ “I have given her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her fornication. So I will cast her onto a bed of pain, and all those who commit adultery with her will suffer intensely unless they renounce her practices. I will also strike her children dead. Thereby all the Churches will be shown that I am the One who searches minds and hearts and I will give to each of you what your works deserve.”

Figuratively, a LovePeddler or harlot makes people eat of the leftovers of what others have eaten of her. Some of the harlots would even make thousands and more to eat of each others leftovers of her in what is called “Body-Counts.” - In the bible verse in red, she made her toys or idols to eat leftover of her food even if just the smell of the food, and after they had eaten she would still make others to eat of the leftover of the same food. — There's an even greater harlot that has graduated from levels of “Body-Counts” to now levels of “Nations-Counts:” — She is making nations drink of the leftover of the same cup of her in fornication. As it is written,

[Revelation 17:1-5 MKJV] — "And one of the seven angels who had the seven vials came and talked with me, saying to me, Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot sitting on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and became drunk with the wine of her fornication, those inhabiting the earth. And he carried me away into a desert by the Spirit. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored beast, filled with names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet. And she was gilded with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication. And on her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”

Not as if all of them will tell you they are offering you leftovers of what they had eaten or others had eaten of them. Many of them would wipe their mouths after eating, and make you eat; by the time you realise she offered you leftover to eat, it's already late because you too have already eaten it: you are a partaker thereof.

[Proverbs 30:20 NCB] — "This is the way of an adulteress: she eats, then wipes her mouth and says, “I have done nothing wrong.””

[Proverbs 9:16-18 NCB] — "“You who are simple, turn in here.” To the fool she says, “Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret tastes good.” But little does he know that the dead are there and that her guests are headed for the netherworld.”

●~A~● They were “Virgins” not prostitutes or whores — by neither giving nor selling their bodies in fornication to any.

↝ FROM PRIESTHOOD TO IDOLS: TO THESE, SHE GAVE THE EMBROIDERY AND APOTHECARY WORKS THE LORD GAVE HER ↜

[Ezekiel 16 :18 NKJV] — You took your embroidered garments and covered them, and you set My oil and My incense before them.
⇵
[Ezekiel 16 :18 GNT] — You took the embroidered clothes I gave you and put them on the images, and you offered to the images the olive oil and incense I had given you.
⇵
[Ezekiel 16 :18 NCB] — "Furthermore, you took your embroidered clothes to cover these images and set My oil and My incense before them."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Still in the series of to whom or to what the unfaithful Bride gave or used up all the good things the Lord, Her Husband, had given to her: — In this third episode or in this bible verse in red, it was the “Embroidered Garments, the oil and incense spices” the Lord her Husband gave or ordained her with, and to whom or to what she eventually gave those. She gave them to her Idols, honoring them.

One of the things a LovePeddler, harlot or prostitute, neither knows nor values — Is the Sacred Things that must neither be given nor sold except to the Lord God or to the Husband: Giving or selling such things to another person for whatever reason is what makes the giver or seller either a LovePeddler, harlot or prostitute, respectively.

One of those things that should never be given or sold to any other person in fornication or sexual intercourse except to the Lord God and to one's husband only in marriage includes, “One's Body.” Another of such things whether in marriage or outside marriage includes “One's Soul.” But here, I intend to bring out three of such things from the bible verse in red, which unfortunately were the three things the unfaithful Bride gave out to other figures or idols: — Those things include: Her Embroidered Garments, Her Oil, and Her Incense. Let's understand each of these better.

■1■ — Embroidered Garments: — Spiritually, those Garments were the garments of her priesthood, her royalty, her wedding or bridal, her ministry or simply put, her “Mantle.” — She took her embroidered garments and clothed her Idols or images with her embroidered garments. This is a great spiritual error, not just because she was doing so to idols or strangers, but also because it's spiritual error to strip oneself of spiritual garment or mantle and clothe or put them on another person in any form of transfer.

Some people say, “I transfer my mantle of leadership to someone,” but that's spiritually inappropriate. You don't transfer or give your mantle or spiritual garments to anyone while you are alive, unless you must die; and even at that, you still don't do that yourself, but by someone else stripping you off your mantle or spiritual garments to give to another. I give you few examples:

Aaron did not pull off his priestly garments even to give them to his own son as his successor; rather Moses had to strip them off Aaron, and then put them on Eleazar the son and successor to Aaron: then Aaron died as soon as the mantle or garments were stripped off him. I didn't say he retired from ministry, but he died as soon as the mantle was transferred. God does not have “retirement” after mantle is transferred in priesthood or ministry, though He allows such in government or among kings. So, if truly you as a minister have your spiritual mantle transferred or given to another, and no more on you, then you should have died. If you have not died, your spiritual mantle is still with you even though your ministry acts or activities have decreased.

[Numbers 20:25-28 AFV] — "Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor. And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son. And Aaron shall be gathered to his people, and shall die there.” And Moses did as the LORD commanded. And they went up into Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation. And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments and put them upon Eleazar his son. And Aaron died there in the top of the mount. And Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.”

I used to think Elijah gave his mantle to Elisha twice: the first time while Elisha was still a herdsmen and the second time while Elijah was taken into heaven. But I now understand that the first time did not count, while the second time was what counted: and even then, the mantle fell from Elijah, not Elijah stripping himself of it to give it to Elisha. Moreover, Elisha tore his own mantle (which I think was an error) because he found Elijah’s mantle fallen to him.

I know someone who stripped himself of his only shirt and gave it to another man who needed the shirt more than him, and he went home through the public eyes wearing only singlet or almost naked himself. He did that in sacrifice and offering.

But I tell you, it is not wisdom spiritually to give another naked person your clothes while you the giver goes naked to clothe another. You only clothe the naked if you have extra clothes or garments. And for whatever reason, do not strip yourself off your spiritual garments or mantle to give to another, even to successor after you; rather be stripped of them at the point of death, even as the Lord Jesus Christ was stripped of His Garments for which they casted lots.

What?! — She stripped herself of the Embroidered Garments, her spiritual garments and clothed her Idols with them?

[Matthew 22:12-14 LBP] — "And he said to him, My friend, how did you enter here, when you do not have wedding garments? And he was speechless. Then the king said to the servants, Bind his hands and his feet and take him out into darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are invited, and few are chosen."

Next::

■2■ — Oil: — In spiritual priesthood of the Lord, oil applies in any of these three applications: One For Anointing; Two For Fuel to Lamp, Lighting or Fire burning; Three for cooking or baking stuff. Which one of these three was contemplated in the red verse?

In the bible verse in red, she set the oil before the Idols as offering. It did not say she anointed them, but said she offered the oil to them. So, it's either for the second or for the third application. But let the other things she brought together with the oil decide which one of the applications: She brought the oil together with incense, which means the second application takes it — the oil was for fire, burning or lighting (lamps). In the next Bible verse after this one in red, she will bring another set of oil with Foodstuffs to imply the third application (cooking or baking).

The difference between her and the wise virgins is clear here: She would give her oil for her light or lamp to idols or to other people, but the wise virgins would neither give nor sell their oil to anyone even to their fellow virgins or as an offering to idols.

[Matthew 25:7-10 AFV] — "Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘ No, lest there not be enough for us and for you. But instead, go to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.”

●~A~● They were “Virgins” not prostitutes or whores — by neither giving nor selling their bodies in fornication to any.

●~B~● They were “Wise” not foolish — by neither giving nor selling their oil in business or transaction to any.

●~C~● They were “In the Marriage” not outside — by neither giving nor selling their wedding Garments in folly to any.

■3■ — Incense: — Do not give or offer your incense to anyone, but to the Lord God and King. Your incense offered carries your prayers — to whom you will direct all your prayers is to whom you should offer your incense and spices to. Neither sell the costly perfumes as Judas Iscarriot suggested to sell the perfumes Mary poured on the Lord Jesus.

Still in the series of to whom or to what the unfaithful Bride gave or used up all the good things the Lord, Her Husband, had given to her: — In this second episode or in this bible verse in red, it was the “Gold and Silver ornaments” the Lord her Husband gave or adorned her with, and to whom or to what she eventually gave those ornaments of hers to. She gave them to get “SEX-TOYS

In simple terms,

She used her treasures of gold and silver to acquire sex-toys (male images or manhoods) that were made like male sex organs: In today's terms they are called Dildos, Vibrators, Stimulators [stims], Suction Toys, Strap-Ons, Panty Plugs, Butt-Plugs, Balls, Magic Wands, Strands, Eggs, Ears, Lubes, Candles, Massagers, Mannequins, Trainers and Lubricators: some for clitoral, some for center of gravity/vaginal, and some for anal attachments. None of these objects of male images have life in them, but some of them are electronically powered, computerised, chemically or biologically programmed, or robotic by machine language. And though they are images of males, some look like men’s male (manhood), some of them like dogs’ male, some like stallions’ or horses’ male, or some like fowls’, reptilians’, amphibians’ etc., male, images.

[Deuteronomy 4:16-18 WEB] — lest you corrupt yourselves, and make yourself an engraved image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female, the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the sky, the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth

The Bride was indeed adorned: Heaven dressed her with Gold from God, and Silver sealed by grace. A beauty bestowed, not earned. A love covenant, etched in precious metal.

But what did she do?

She melted purity into perversion. Forged love into lust. Took what was sacred, and sculpted sin. She didn't just stumble into idolatry and fornication — She handcrafted it. Made male images from metal, and gave herself to what her own hands had made or acquired.

The Giver gave dignity—But she chased domination.
The Lover gave honor—But she craved sensation.
She didn't just fall—She designed her downfall, and fell in it.

She handpicked them to them to be her masters, having acquired them with her treasures, and she prostrated or laid in posture of submission in sexual intercourse to whom or what she seeks to dominate or master over her. For to whom (or what) she yielded her body to for service, became her master or lord.

[Romans 6:19 NEB] — "(to use words that suit your human weakness)— I mean, as you once yielded your bodies to the service of impurity and lawlessness, making for moral anarchy, so now you must yield them to the service of righteousness, making for a holy life.”

[Romans 6:19 BBE] — "I am using words in the way of men, because your flesh feeble: as you gave your bodies as servants to what is unclean, and to evil to do evil, so now give them as servants to righteousness to do what is holy.”

↝ FROM LINEN TO LURES: TO THESE, SHE GAVE THE CLOTHES THE LORD GAVE HER ↜

[Ezekiel 16 :16 MKJV] — "And you took from your clothes and adorned your high places with different colors, and fornicated on them, such as had not come, nor shall be."

[Ezekiel 16 :16 ICB] — And you took some of your clothes and made your places of worship colorful. This is where you carried on your prostitution. These things should not have happened. They should never happen again.

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

There's an adage in my local dialect that says,

“If they are doing good things for a woman, she will be doing those good things for the one she likes”
Or
“If they are giving good things to a woman, she will be giving those good things to the one she likes”

Though this does not apply to all women, the adage implies that whatever good things people do or give to a woman will eventually get to another person (either a man, a pastor, a priest, an idol, a cosmetic, a god, a spirit, a pet, etc.) that she loves or likes. So, it is the person or thing she likes that gets to enjoy her, not the person or people that like her: they may spend so much on her, but hardly would she spend or give that much back to those who gave to her in gratitude or reciprocity, for she's wired to take from them and then give to the one loves or likes so much.

In line with this, behold the bible verse in red, which begins a series of to whom the unfaithful Bride gave or used up all the good things the Lord, Her Husband, had given to her: — In this episode of this bible verse in red, it was the “Linen clothes or Garments” the Lord her Husband had given or clothed her with, and to whom or to what she eventually gave those Linen clothes of hers to.

In simple terms,

She was clothed in fine linen—pure, radiant, and sacred—garments given to her by her Lord, her Husband, to cover her unclothedness and crown her dignity. But instead of honoring the Giver, she took what was holy and turned it into bait. The linen that once marked her as set apart became the fabric of her seduction—draped over high places, spread across foreign beds, and woven into the decor of abominations. What was meant to symbolize righteousness became a lure for unrighteousness. She did not just fall into sin; she dressed it with divine blessings and called it beauty. From linen to lures, from covering to corruption—this is the tragedy of a soul that forgets who clothed her and why.

She used those linen clothes gifted to her by her Husband to make bedsheets, curtains and multi-coloured decorations for places she wanted to get laid, becoming instead of a priestess, a temple prostitute or ritualistic sex worker, whose brothel or sex house was as a temple or shrine that elicited and connected worship with deitification of the pleasures and idols of fornication.

She adorned her high places with many colors but defiled holy people. Upon it she spread her bed in which she spread her legs, and there she multiplied her fornications. The wind carried her perfume, and many came from afar to defile themselves with her. Her high places were no sanctuaries, but stages of abominations—painted, perfumed, and profaned.

She turned rooftops and high places into spectacles —splashed with multi-colors and draped in shimmering Linen fabrics. They weren't just places of business, but statements: bold, brazen, unapologetic. From there, she transacted pleasures, her altar not of sacrifice but of seduction. People came not to just worship, but to forget themselves in the sensations and defiling ecstasies.

So, what became of the fine linen the Lord, her Husband, clothed her with to cover her unclothedness?

She had decked her bed of fornication or adultery with part of the linen just as the woman in the next Bible reference did, using linen from Egypt::

[Proverbs 7:13-23 FBV] — "She grabbed hold of him and kissed him, and with a bold face she told him, “I sacrificed my peace offering today, and paid my vows. That's why I came out to meet you. I was looking for you and now I've found you! My bed is made, covered with colorful linens from Egypt. I've sprinkled perfume on my bed— myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. Come with me, let's make love until the morning. Let's enjoy one another in our love-making! My husband isn't home; he's gone on a long trip. He took a bag of money with him, and he won't be coming back until the full moon.” She convinced him with all that she said; she seduced him with her smooth talking. He followed her right away, like an ox to the slaughter. Like a stag that's caught in a snare until an arrow pierces its liver, like a bird flying into a trap, he's unaware he will pay with his life.”

A virtuous and wise woman with both cover her bed and clothe her body with linen: but a prostitute metaphorically covers her bed to expose her body or covers her body to expose her bed. To a virtuous and wise woman, her body is also her bed. Hence:

[Proverbs 31:22 BSB] — "She makes coverings for her bed; her clothing is fine linen and purple.”

The unfaithful Bride forgot she herself was the Temple, the High Place, the Bed and Sanctuary: and she being ignorant of who she was to the Lord, she foolishly took the linen clothes off her and gave them to other high places inferior to her, and went to be laid on them and to worship in their shadows. These things should not have happened both in past and in future: —

[2 Corinthians 6:16] — "What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.””

Here's wisdom: Your own body is more important as a temple than that church building you go on Sundays or Saturdays. Do not strip off the covering and linen garments of your body to go cover or decorate any church, place of worship or holy ground, at the expense of the holy garments with which the Lord clothed you. No church building will enter into heaven no matter how much heaven enters into it; but you and your body can be translated into heaven if you keep your garments and do not walk naked.

[Revelation 16:15 MKJV] — "Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is the one who watches and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”

↝ CORRUPTION OF PERFECT BEAUTY ↜

[Ezekiel 16:15 AKJV] — "But you did trust in your own beauty, and played the harlot because of your renown, and poured out your fornications on every one that passed by; his it was."
⇵
[Ezekiel 16:15 ICB] — “‘But you trusted in your beauty. You became a prostitute because you were so famous. You had physical relations with anyone who passed by.
⇵
[Ezekiel 16:15 BBE] — "But you put your faith in the fact that you were beautiful, acting like a loose woman because you were widely talked of, and offering your cheap love to everyone who went by, whoever it might be."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

■1■ — True Beauty is of Holiness, but Beauty does not hold Holiness rather it is Holiness that holds Beauty.

■2■ — When a woman is strongly convinced and obsessed with the reality and powers of her beauty, her trust or confidence in her beauty's worth and influence will both empower her and also corrupt her.

■3■ — So, “Beauty is something perfect that can also corrupt.” Usually, perfect things do not have imperfection, corruption or abusive fault in them; but Beauty is an exception because Beauty can be perfect and at the same time be a dangerous corrupter. In this bible verse in red, the Bride that was perfect in beauty but became corrupted by her own beauty, because she trusted in her beauty. Another example of one who was perfect in beauty but was corrupted by his own beauty is the one refered to as Lucifer:

[Ezekiel 28:17 AKJV] — "Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty, you have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I will cast you to the ground, I will lay you before kings, that they may behold you.”

To include perfection he attained in beauty before the corruption by his beauty or brightness, let's add more preceding verses:

[Ezekiel 28:12,15,17 AKJV] — "Son of man, take up a lamentation on the king of Tyrus, and say to him, Thus said the Lord GOD; You seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. … You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, till iniquity was found in you. … Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty, you have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I will cast you to the ground, I will lay you before kings, that they may behold you.”

■4■ — When a woman is obsessed or driven by a consciousness and influence of her beauty and charms, she advances into losing her purity (getting corrupted, defiled, losing holiness or virginity); but on the other hand, women or daughters who are obsessed or driven by the consciousness and preservation of their purity more than their beauty, and would most likely preserve their virginity.

Oh, why should something be perfect and still be deceitful? The answer is because it is Beauty or Charm, which is both perfect and deceitful at the same time to those who trust it. As it is written,

[Proverbs 31:30 ICB] — Charm can fool you, and beauty can trick you. But a woman who respects the Lord should be praised.

So, just as power can corrupt people, beauty can also corrupt and trick people. Now let's focus on the bible verse in red:

The Bride had perfect beauty, which her Lord built in her and that spread her fame abroad all over the nations because of her beauty. So by her beauty she became both “Perfect” and “Popular.” There was another “P-word” she became in the bible verse, following her becoming “Perfect and Popular:” — she became “Prostitute.”

When she was just perfect and popular, she was still faithful; but as soon as she put her faith (trust) in her perfect beauty, placing her faith in her perfection or in her popularity meant losing her faith in her faithfulness to the Lord or her Husband: Thus, she became “Unfaithful” or “Infidel” because of where her faith lies.

It did not come by Her losing faith in her Husband, but by her putting faith in or on her beauty and influence as Celebrity and queen worldwide. Suddenly, it resulted in her losing faith in her Husband, and losing respect for Him as well, because she's now seeing herself outgrown Him in fame and acceptance worldwide. Suddenly, one Husband alone or her Husband's Body alone was not enough for her anymore. The idea or thought of having as many body counts as possible filled her, after all she's beautiful and would always have men and options: in her reasoning, “Why should I waste all these beauties and charms in settling for just one Body (Husband), when I can have a thousand and more bodies to explore and to enjoy their diverse energies?” She then decided to explore as many men that passes by, who are bold to just as her for it and she would willing give him.

[Isaiah 1:21 BSB] — "See how the faithful city has become a harlot! She once was full of justice; righteousness resided within her, but now only murderers!”

That was how she who was married as a virgin later turned out to become LovePeddler, harlot or street prostitute, looking for passers by.

[Proverbs 9:13-18 NLV] — "A foolish woman makes much noise. She is open to sin, and knows nothing. She sits at the door of her house or on a seat in the high places of the city. She calls to those who pass by and are making their paths straight, "Whoever is easy to fool, let him turn in here!" She says to the one without understanding, "Stolen water is sweet. And bread eaten in secret is pleasing." But he does not know that the dead are there, and that the ones who visit her are in the bottom of hell.”

[Daniel 10:15] — "By speaking these words to me, I had my head paralyzed so that my face was frozen by being stuck towards the ground (unable to turn or swing), and my neck so choked that I became speechless or mute."

↝ STROKE THAT BENT AND CHOKED DANIEL BY NECK ↜

[Daniel 10:15 AFV] — "And when he had spoken such words to me, I bowed my face toward the ground, and I became dumb."
⇵
[Daniel 10:15 NEB] — "While he spoke to me I hung my head and was struck dumb."
⇵
[Daniel 10:15] — "By speaking these words to me, I had my head paralyzed so that my face was frozen by being stuck towards the ground (unable to turn or swing), and my neck so choked that I became speechless or mute."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

These here, in this bible verse in red, described the last stroke of the “Disfiguration” (instead of Transfiguration) that struck Daniel in that encounter with a manifest Principality visibly (physically).

However, unlike the previous, this disfigurement came upon Daniel later or after sometime of already adjusting to, and getting used to, bearing the presence and enduring the intensity of the aura from this Principality with golden waist belt.

○ - ● -A- ● - ○ What Daniel was seeing on this Principality was the cause of the initial disfiguration Daniel suffered, which included — His comeliness (beauty or visage) was corrupted into ugliness, and his strength drained, so he emaciated according to “Verse 8.”

○ - ● -B- ● - ○ What Daniel just heard from this Principality was the cause of this trending disfiguration Daniel suffered, which included — His head was hanged on his neck as if he was dead while on a standing or sitting posture, or as a man sleeping in such posture with his face downwards while his neck or body is upwards; and there was also a choking or freezing of his vocal cords in his neck so that he couldn't speak or even cryout like one strangled in prowrestling submission by choking of neck until such person passes out: These according to this bible verse in red.

You may recall the first case brought to the Lord Jesus Christ immediately He and His three core disciples came down from His Transfiguration: — It was a case of disfiguration of a deaf and dumb spirit, which also choked and shocked the victimised boy with epilepsy or seizures. It was the same demon or spirit that the Lord Jesus taught His disciples saying, “This kind does not go unless by prayer and fasting.” That evil spirit was like a higher kind of demon, than the other ones they had encountered. The Lord Jesus addressed the demon as “You deaf and dumb spirit:” infact let me cite the bible text here below:

[Mark 9:25-29 AKJV] — "When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the foul spirit, saying to him, “You dumb and deaf spirit, I charge you, come out of him, and enter no more into him.” And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; so that many said, “He is dead.” But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. And when He was come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why could not we cast him out?” And He said to them, “This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.”

Notice that even though He addressed the foul spirit as “Deaf (and dumb) spirit,” He still spoke to that deaf spirit with authority or faith, knowing that evil spirit of the deaf will hear His words spoken to them. Notice also that even though He addressed the foul spirit inside the boy as “Dumb (and deaf) spirit,” yet the spirit cried out, shouted or spoke outloud though was a dumb spirit. Notice in the preceding verses, the father of the boy did not mention anything about the boy being either deaf or dumb in connection with the foul spirit, but yet the Lord Jesus addressed the foul spirit as “Deaf and Dumb spirit” to which He commanded.

Technically, the foul spirit was deaf to what other disciples were saying or commanding it, but not deaf to what the Lord ordered it; and was dumb to speak to other disciples, but not to the Lord. There was connection between what it’s hearing and it’s speaking.

Now back to the bible verse in red:

The disfiguration or dislocation of Daniel’s neck and vocal ability resulted from, or connected with, the words that Prince with golden waist belt spoke to him about “what shall befall his people in the last days.” As the Principality was speaking to him about what shall befall his people in distant times, things instantly befell him in the interim. The “badnews” caused him that stroke. Not that it would end in badnews but that he was not having the capacity to bear such news at his condition by then, since he was already drained of strength and had been mourning for long.

These next bible references are about things that befell some by just hearing badnews of what had befallen their people, while they were in no conditions to bear the hearing of such badnews:

[b][1 Samuel 4:15-22 WEB] — "Now Eli was ninety-eight years old. His eyes were set, so that he could not see. The man said to Eli, “I am he who came out of the army, and I fled today out of the army.” He said, “How did the matter go, my son?” He who brought the news answered, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people. Your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and God’s ark has been captured.” When he made mention of God’s ark, Eli fell from off his seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck broke, and he died; for he was an old man, and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years. His daughter-in-law, Phinehas’ wife, was with child, near to be delivered. When she heard the news that God’s ark was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth; for her pains came on her. About the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, “Don’t be afraid; for you have given birth to a son.” But she didn’t answer, neither did she regard it. She named the child Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel”; because God’s ark was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband. She said, “The glory has departed from Israel; for God’s ark has been taken.””
[/b]
[1 Samuel 25:37-38 AFV] — "And it came to pass in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal and his wife had told him these things, his heart died within him and he became like a stone. And it came to pass about ten days afterward the LORD struck Nabal so that he died.”

Do you see the wisdom of God revealing similar news of “What shall befall your people in future” to Abraham while Abraham was sleeping, avoiding these complications we now see in Daniel, who received this while awake a similar news Abraham received while in deep sleep concerning what shall befall “your people in future, but you would by then died in peace and buried when those things happen to your people or your descendants?

[Genesis 15:12-16] — "As the sun was setting, Abraham fell into a deep sleep, and suddenly great terror and darkness overwhelmed him. Then the LORD said to Abraham, “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years. But I will judge the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will depart with many possessions. You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a ripe old age. In the fourth generation your descendants will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.””

But here, the Principality had only began to speak on what shall happen to Daniel’s people, and had not yet assured Daniel that he would die and be buried in peace by then, before these happened. It was towards the end of tell Daniel all these that he later assured Daniel that he would have escaped by having died or be buried before those things befall his people. This assurance he made to Daniel became the very last sentence or verse in the book of Daniel, assuring Daniel would be in place when those things come

[Daniel 12:13 LG] — But you, go your way, and rest; for there are yet days and seasons to the fulfillment of the end; and you shall stand in your inheritance at the end of the days.”

↝ GET UNDERSTANDING
BEFORE AND AFTER
GETTING VISION ↜

[Daniel 10:14 AMPC] — Now I have come to make you understand what is to befall your people in the latter days, for the vision is for [many] days yet to come.
⇵
[Daniel 10:14 GNT] — I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the future. This is a vision about the future.
⇵
[Daniel 10:14 GWN] — "I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the last days, because the vision is about times still to come.""

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Here in this bible verse in red, the Principality with golden waist belt stated a purpose for his coming. This has both the prayers of Daniel and the answers to his prayers: — To humble himself to understand the Vision.

Again, I say, the Prince of Persia did not oppose or block this Prince just to stop him from giving understanding of vision to Daniel or against any prayer request of Daniel. I don't know where that notion sprung from — that the Prince of Persia was opposing Daniel’s prayers by opposing the angel bearing his prayers.

Ignorance appears like knowledge at first to the ignorant or deceived: for Ignorance is counterfeit or false knowledge that distracts or preoccupies the place for truth and true knowledge.

But learning from Daniel is to humble oneself to understand. Daniel was a very sound and intelligent person, vast in various fields of knowledge, and a great researcher. Spiritually, he had understanding in visions and dreams and mysteries to degrees that the wise men of the East and of Babylonia gave him title or name, “Belteshazzar” — meaning wisdom of the gods. But behold, after attaining such vast degrees of knowledge, understanding or enlightenment, Daniel humbled himself before his God to seek knowledge and understanding.

[1 Corinthians 8:1-2] — "Now as touching things offered to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but charity edifies. And if any man think that he knows any thing, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.”

Indeed knowledge puffs, and as you advance deeper in revelations and knowledge of the mysteries of God, you realise that the more you supposedly thought you know, the more you are yet to know. Thus the wisehearted would humble themselves to seek understanding and knowledge that come from direct tutelage of Divinity, Principality and the perfected spirits of men.

Now, in this bible verse in red:

The Prince with golden waist belt promised he came, not really to explain the entire Vision to Daniel, but to explain the aspect of the vision that would befall or happen to Daniel’s people — Israel, in the endtimes or last days; especially because the vision is for many days stretched to latter or last days. Here are my deductions from these:

■1■ Daniel’s understanding of the vision would cover just his understanding of what will happen to, and what will become of, Israel his people: — Not necessarily what will entirely happen. — Understanding everything that will happen before they happen makes you the man who saw tomorrow and all things therein. But we are not called to know all things to come; rather we are called be watchmen who's job is to watch out for our people, our families, our interests etc., things that may potentially affect us. It is the knowledge or understanding to love or serve your people in the will and pleasure of God you should seek, not just knowledge or understanding of all things that do not concern you or your people — since you are not omniscient or “All-Knowing.” Solomon was not asking for wisdom or understanding of all things, but was asking for wisdom or understanding that concerns his people and how to govern them and things affecting or pertaining his people.

■2■ Daniel’s understanding of the vision will also cover what will befall his people in the last days or in distant future: this makes this understanding to also qualify as both Prophecies and the Watchman’s Witnessing, Testimony or Report: — Daniel wasn't just receiving prophecies as messages, but receiving insight and understanding that became both Prophecies and the Watchman’s Warnings, Signalling and Trumpeting (whistling). Before that generation of his people would be born, Daniel’s watchman’s outcry had already been written and preserved to forewarn and forearm the wise among them and among us.

Prophecies and understanding go together: understanding that goes or comes with Prophecies is called “Interpretation.” Do not just prophesy without the understanding (Interpretation) or the interpreter.

[Daniel 12:1 GNT]
— The angel wearing linen clothes said, “At that time the great angel Michael, who guards your people, will appear. Then there will be a time of troubles, the worst since nations first came into existence. When that time comes, all the people of your nation whose names are written in God's book will be saved.

[Jude 1:9] "Now when Michael, one of the chief angels, was fighting against the Evil One for the body of Moses, fearing to make use of violent words against him, he only said, May the Lord be your judge."

↝ THE PRINCE OF PERSIA AND PRINCIPALITIES WARS ↜

[Daniel 10:13 NKJV] — But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia.
⇵
[Daniel 10:13 ICB] — But the prince of Persia has been fighting against me for 21 days. Then Michael, one of the most important angels, came to help me. He came because I had been left there with the king of Persia.
⇵
[Daniel 10:13 FBV] — "But the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was being detained there by the kings of Persia."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Here in this bible verse in red, the Principality was explaining to Daniel the reason for the lateness, including the cause and extent of the traffic hold-up (that lasted 21 days) on his way to deliver the answers to the heard words (prayers) of Daniel. According to his excuse, the cause of the hold-up delay was opposition of the Prince of the kingdom of Persia against him, while the extent of the delay was twenty-one days (three weeks) of his detention.

However, the person that was more disappointed with all these, and especially with the duration of the delay, was not Daniel but the Principality himself: he had his own fightback against the Prince of Persia, but he had inexpressed disappointment towards his fellas or colleagues who did not come to help him out, until Michael (one of the chief Principalities) came on the 21st day to help him. It's like a saying,
“Evil thrives because the good people refuse or neglect to act and do goodworks to preempt the evils.”

It shouldn't have taken up to 21 days of detention if those other chief princes like Michael and princes among angels quickly came that first day or earlier to help one of their own on God's mission. I have seen, and I still do see, such fakeness, gross insensitivity, selfishness, falsehood and untrustworthiness of lack of true love and kindness among mankind. But to see those things also among the angels of God is more heart rending to me.

I wish I saw wrongly, and that those imperfections are not found among the angels of light and of God. I wish I was wrong to have the impression that I shouldn't even entrust myself to angels of God, especially those of them that carry out their goodworks only because they are commanded or duty-bound to do them and not because they have love or true friendship in them for me outside their official programs or duties as robots or artificial intelligence.

It is the lack of true friendship, lack of true compassion, lack of true patriotism or compatriotism (on national regards), lack of true neighborliness or brotherliness, lack of selflessness and true kindness, or lack of true love, that I lament against. How can an angel and minister of God on the Lord's mission be in detention suffering opposition for 21 days, and the entire heavenly angels and fella of his showed no affection until Michael, one of the chief princes, came of his own initiative and sensitivity to help him?

[Daniel 10:21 FBV] — "But before that I will tell you what is written down in the Book of Truth. No one helps me fight against these princes except Michael your prince.””

Now I can focus on the bible verse in red:

●1●— Principalities and Rulers of this world:

In the bible verse in red, the Prince of Persia actually refers to the “Prince of the kingdom of Persia” — for even in the same verse, there were also “Kings of Persia” among whom the Prince with golden waist belt was detained. Actually, here the Prince is higher than the kings; unlike how humans rank the title of a king above the title of prince always, among angels the Prince maybe above the kings: for “Prince” means “Principality,” but “Kings” means “Rulers.” So, here the Prince of Persia is the head of the kings of Persia or head of the kingdom of Persia. He was the Prince of the kings of Persia, even as the Lord Jesus Christ is now the Prince of the kings of the earth. The Lord Jesus Christ is not the Prince of this world, but He is the Prince of the Kings of the earth:

[Revelation 1:5-6 AKJV] — "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful Witness, and the first Begotten of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. To Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own Blood, and has made us kings and priests to God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”

Also, the Lord is not God of this world, but He is God of the earth [Revelation 11:4 AKJV].

Princes of this world, gods of this world or Rulers of darkness of this world are like the Prince and kings of Persia then: they are Principalities and powers in opposition to the Lord of the earth. So also are the rulers of darkness of this world and the spiritual wickedness in high places or in the space over this world. Actually, Prince of Persia is one of the princes of this world that foolishly crucified the Lord of glory [1 Corinthians 2:8 AKJV]

But he was not the Prince of this world during the walk of the Lord Jesus Christ on earth, though he was one of the princes of this world. In the gospels, two of the prominent princes of darkness were mentioned:

One was “Beelzebub” — Prince of Demons (Mark 3:22)

Another “Prince of this world” (John 14:30)

To further describe the Prince of this world, he is the Prince of the powers of the air and the spirit (demon) working in the children of disobedience.

[Ephesians 2:2 AFV] — "In which you walked in times past according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now working within the children of disobedience;”

●2●— Principalities and Rulers among Angels of God:

In the bible verse in red, Principalities or Princes among angels of God in heaven were also mentioned. The Prince with the golden waist belt himself was a Principality but held 21 days, and Michael too was one of the chief princes or one of the chief Principalities, but there are other chief Principalities or chief princes that are not Michael. Michael is an Archangel, and one of the Archangels.

Just as the Prince of the kingdom of Persia is in charge over Persia, Michael is the Prince of the people of Israel (as in Iran (Persia) and Israel in recent wars): There is another Prince in charge of Greece called the Prince of Grecia, Etc. Basically, there are seven different Principalities or Angels in charge of the seven different Churches in administrations: and Michael is the Angel in charge of the church of Israel.

Now, just as this angelic Prince with golden waist belt suffered opposition and detention from the powers of Persia until Michael came to help him in the fight, there was occasion that reverse was the case and it was Michael in trouble needing help and this Prince with golden waist belt was the one that helped Michael too. In prowrestling terms, I would describe both of these (Michael and the Prince with golden waist belt) as Tag-Team Princes or Tag Partners in the Warfare.

But Michael do also suffer opposition or resistance like this alone:

[Jude 1:9 BBE] — "Now when Michael, one of the chief angels, was fighting against the Evil One for the body of Moses, fearing to make use of violent words against him, he only said, May the Lord be your judge.”

Next::::

●3●— The Bone of Contention:

You just read that Michael was in contention against the devil, but for the body of Moses. All the fights Michael involved in the bible was for someone in Israel or for Israel, including fighting for Moses, helping out this Prince with golden waist belt for Daniel who was an Israelite, and fighting against the Dragon in Revelation 12 to protect the Child born of the Woman that represented Israel.

[Daniel 12:1 GNT] — The angel wearing linen clothes said, “At that time the great angel Michael, who guards your people, will appear. Then there will be a time of troubles, the worst since nations first came into existence. When that time comes, all the people of your nation whose names are written in God's book will be saved.

So we know Michael's interest in basically any warfare he engages but yet to know his Tag Partner's interest or charge in warfares.

Why was the Prince of Persia opposing the Prince with golden waist belt, and opposing his mission to Daniel? Is it just because they had no other important work to do except to oppose every prayer answers or angels on good mission from heaven to earth?

I tell you, the Prince of Persia here was not in opposition to the words or prayers of Daniel or anyone's prayers, contrary to what you may have been told. Rather, the Prince of Persia was actually in opposition to the main mission that Prince with golden waist belt came to do on earth by that journey. Apart from coming to answer Daniel’s prayers, that Prince with golden waist belt had other mission to do, which would affect or drain the times and reigns of the Kingdom of Persia. So the Prince of Persia was actually fighting for his own kingdom of Persia, and the mission of the Golden waist belt holder was a great threat to the kingdom of Persia, like some form of spy entering one's airspace or country under the disguise of coming to answer Daniel’s prayers but undercover is another mission that would begin the process for ending the kingdom of Persia when the kingdom just started.

Now, if it was Gabriel or any other angel that was sent to Daniel in answer to his words or prayers then, I tell you that the Prince of Persia would not care about even confronting that angel talkless of opposing and detaining the angel. Answering Daniel’s prayers was not a threat to the prince of Persia, but instead answering Daniel’s prayers was great benefit to the kings of Persia. Daniel was not an enemy to the prince or Principalities of Persia; neither were they in opposition to Daniel or his mission or for his people then. But on the other hand, the Prince with the golden waist belt coming himself instead of another angelic being, was a great threat and danger to the Kingdom of Persia but in favor to the kingdom of Greece or Grecia (Europe) then.

As we proceed in subsequent verses in red, we will understand the influence and effects this Prince with golden waist belt caused on “Changing of Governments or overthrowing of kingdoms and setting up others instead, through his command over times and seasons.” At some point, this Prince with golden waist belt determined even the times and seasons for the endtime events, antichrist days of reign, and times or days for the fulfilling of Prophecies. — He was a great Timer, Time-Keeper, Prince of the Kingdoms Time allocations or the great events time planning and scheduling Director.

Recall how when Demons saw the Lord Jesus on earth, they were alarmed thinking He had come to destroy them before their time. Seeing the Son of God on earth would threaten the Prince of Persia with fears of destruction either before their time or at the end of their time; but seeing that Prince with golden waist belt on earth would threaten the Prince of Persia or any other reigning princes of this world with shortening or changing of reigning days or times.

At those levels, having time means having place: losing your time means losing your place or your position in kingdom. So being in power or government is basically a tenor — time of your reign.

■■ When the devil contend Michael over the body of Moses, the devil was contending for a body that could no longer be affected or depreciated by time changes, as in, immortal body (of Moses).

■■ When the devil fought Michael over the body of a new born male child in Revelation-12, the devil was fighting for a kingdom that could no longer be affected or depreciated by time changes, as in, an everlasting kingdom without end (of Christ). The devil or dragon lost that fight, meaning he lost his last shot at gaining time and therefore he had no more place in the heavens; and on earth he had only a short time left before he also loses his time or place.

■■ When the Prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed and detained the Prince with the golden waist belt, he was fighting for the prolonging of his kingdom times by keeping the Prince from reaching earthrealm and from being witnessed by a man on earth. The Prince of Persia eventually lost that fight, and therefore the fate of his kingdom of Persia was taken away from him and given to the Prince of Grecia, just as during the handwriting on the wall the kingdom was taken away from Prince of Babylonia and given to the Prince of Persia.

Judg 13:8-9: "Then Manoah prayed to the LORD, “Please, O Lord, let the man of God You sent us come to us again to teach us how to raise the boy who is to be born.” And God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the angel of God returned to the woman as she was sitting in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her."

Luk 1:13: "But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias: for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elisabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John."

↝ THE FEAR NOT AND THE HEARD WORDS OF DANIEL↜

[Daniel 10:12 AKJV] — "Then said he to me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to chasten yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I am come for your words."
⇵
[Daniel 10:12 GNT] — Then he said, “Daniel, don't be afraid. God has heard your prayers ever since the first day you decided to humble yourself in order to gain understanding. I have come in answer to your prayer.
⇵
[Daniel 10:12 BSB] — "“Do not be afraid, Daniel,” he said, “for from the first day that you purposed to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

You don't have to shout aloud to be heard by the Lord God and by His heavens. Yes, the heavens abound with loud voices, thunders, shouts, voices of many or voices of multitude, roars etc. But these great and loud voices do not necessarily imply that little still and small voices or even voiceless thoughts are not heard audibly and loudly as well among them. It is for ornamentation, glorification and majestic vibes. Such loud voices would not be necessarily for just hearing alone, because the heavens are neither deaf nor of heavy ears to hear things spoken even without voice or with no sound to the spoken speech. The heavens are very sensitive in hearing and perception, even to degrees that hidden thoughts are like open broadcast. Among them is, “You have said in your heart.”

In this bible verse in red, a heavens’ messenger with mighty Voice of multitude is testifying to an earth man with relatively little or no voice loud enough for such distant heavens apart, that the man's words were heard among the heavens from the very first day the man proposed in his heart to understand and to humble or chastise (discipline) himself before the Lord his God. Mystery, but also gospel, that those who command and communicate with the greatest and loudest voices also sense, hear, perceive and respect the tiniest voice and the voiceless words of a man's heart set before God.

I said it as general gospel to all, but in this bible verse in red it was specifically to Daniel or to those who have built such relationship with the Lord God as Daniel here. So, let's split some fragments of the bible verse in red in such ways as to show out ‘Daniel’ in them.

■1■ The name and person “Daniel” (not “whosoever”) is the one to whom these were addressed to:

This Principality mentioned Daniel by name atleast Four times in that one manifest vision and communication with him; this bible verse in red holds the second time he had addressed Daniel by the name Daniel. Recall, I said, he received this revelation with the name the heavens recognise for him, which is, Daniel; and not the other name which he was popularly known or called among men of his time and neighbourhood then, which was, Belteshazzar.

■2■ He said “Daniel, fear not (don't be afraid);” And not, “sons of men, fear not (don't be afraid):”

The same Principality here who does not want Daniel to fear or be afraid, also struck great fear on those who were with Daniel. “Fear not” (be not afraid) is not usually a general statement to all men or women in the manifest presence or revelation of angels to men; rather, “Fear not” (be not afraid) is for specific persons in specific places and times during interactions with the Lord or with Angels.

■3■ He said “Daniel, fear not (don't be afraid); your prayer is heard (from the first day you decided to understand and to humble yourself before your God).” Even these do not apply to all:

I know two other people or places in the bible used to this express words from angels, Fear not, your prayer (word or voice) is heard.

To Hagar concerning Ishmael, an angel said this:

[Genesis 21:17] — "And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, What ails you, Hagar? fear not; for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.”

To Zechariah concerning Elizabet, an Gabriel said this:

[Luke 1:13] — "But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zechariah: for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elisabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John."

But in this case of Daniel in the bible verse in red, it was more because it was “Your words” (plural) or “Your Prayers” were heard, and not just singular word or prayer is heard as in the case of Zechariah or Hagar. So Daniel’s “Fear not” carried more weight, for all the words or prayers of Daniel were altogether heard.

Angels are involved in our prayers getting to God, and His answer or response for those prayers back to us. Recall how Bartimaeus the blind man was praying to the Lord Jesus for mercy: many of the men there that should play the role of angels of God to take his prayer request to the Lord Jesus were instead playing the role of demons in trying to silence the man from praying outloud. But the man became even louder like a morning cry Evangelist that men tried to silence but she became even louder in outcry. Then the Lord heard his voice and paid attention, calling for his attendance: immediately, men switched from the role of demons into now playing the role of angels of God, saying to the man, fear not (be of good cheer) your voice is heard and the Lord is calling for you.

[Mark 10:47-49 BSB] — "When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Many people admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called the blind man. “Take courage!” they said. “Get up! He is calling for you.””

Don't be surprised if someone from the Lord's disciples then was among those that tried to silence him initially, perhaps in zeal for the Lord but without knowledge. Recall how they even asked the Lord to send that Canaanite woman away, for she was crying after them for the Lord Jesus to heal or deliver her daughter. Angels of God do not act like demons to keep praying seekers away from God, no matter how busy God their Lord is. Here on earth among us, there are people who would not allow seekers to meet their pastors, their bosses in office, their masters/mistresses, etc, as in claiming they are busy or not available for them to meet based on their low class appearance or underrating of such seekers, thus playing the role of demons, obstacles or stumbling blocks. But the true angels of God love it when even the poor and the unworthy people seek after the greatest and highest King and Most High, no matter how much busy they see He is or even how busy they themselves are. Men ought always to pray, even with importunity.

But why “Fear not (be not afraid), because your word, voice or prayer is heard?”

Be careful, the last angel, Gabriel, I cited as used that expression to a man who's prayer was answered, still struck the same man with Dumbness afterwards for the man questioned the Angel's gospel. So, that angel told the man not to fear in his presence, but he still struck the same man for not fearing to disrespect such an angel.

Therefore, even when Angels tell you, “Fear not (be not afraid)” your word or prayer is heard,” still retain some degree of fear to keep your respect or regards for them and more importantly for fear of God before them. “Fear not still means fear God.”

Actually, “Fear not” from the heavens or angels of God simply means “Goodnews” or “Gospel” — Hope, expected end or positive outcome: The corresponding response or reaction such “Fear not” requires from you is called “Only Believe.” Zechariah, by doubting the goodnews or gospel was not even responding well to the “Fear not,” which required, “only believe.”

[Luke 8:50 ABU] — "But Jesus hearing it, answered him: Fear not; only believe, and she shall be restored.”

■4■ He said (to Daniel) “...from the very first day you proposed in your heart to understand, and to chasten or humble yourself before your God, your words were heard:”

Notice, he did not say from the first day you began to speak those words or speak in tongues, your words were heard. It was not Daniel’s speaking of those words that got “Your words were heard” to him; neither was Daniel speaking in tongues, seeing he set his heart to understand and not to speak mysteries he cannot understand: You aren't heard by much speaking or even speaking:

[Matthew 6:7-8 AFV] — "And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions, as the heathen do; for they think that by multiplying their words they shall be heard. Now then, do not be like them; for your Father knows what things you have need of before you ask Him.”

It was not “much speaking” that got Daniel’s words to be heard; rather what got the words (plural) of Daniel heard was the person of Daniel ruling (subduing) the heart of Daniel to understand and ruling (subduing) flesh (body) of Daniel to be afflicted, humbled or chastened before his God.

Daniel subdued/subjected his heart to learning or understanding spiritual things, and subjected his body or flesh to humiliation or mourning for the said purpose. The mechanism here works like how the voices (cries) of the oppressed get more magnified or amplified before God and the heavens; except that in this case, the oppressed here was the heart of Daniel and the flesh (body) of Daniel, whom the Lord and the heavens greatly loved or respected

The first time I read of Daniel doing similar things to his heart and body was when Daniel proposed in his heart to not defile himself with the portion of the king's fried or cooked meat and the king’s great wine or juice in “Daniel 1:8.” Then Daniel did that just to not defile himself; but here Daniel did it just to learn, to understand and to humble himself before his God. And for the worth of every single word of the words of Daniel, the heavens quickly heard the words of Daniel in that same first day, and a very high Principality was sent from to honor the words of Daniel on earth.

Behold, for understanding and for humility, Daniel gave such diligence to add to his virtues:

[2 Peter 1:5-8,10 AFV] — "And for this very reason also, having applied all diligence besides, add to your faith, virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; And to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, endurance; and to endurance, godliness; And to godliness, brotherly love; and to brotherly love, the love of God. For if these things exist and abound in you, they will cause you to be neither lacking effort nor lacking fruit in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. … For this reason, brethren, be even more diligent to make your calling and election sure; because if you are doing these things, you will never fall at any time.”

■5■ He said (to Daniel) “...to humble yourself before your God..:”

Even a Principality from heaven refered to the Lord as “Daniel’s God” or “God of Daniel.” Stop using, “My God delivered Daniel” for it is not “your God” that delivered Daniel; rather “Daniel’s God” delivered Daniel and heard the words of Daniel. Even this great Principality or Entity respected Daniel’s relationship with his God.

■6■ “I (the Principality or Angel) come in response or answer to your words or prayers:

Some people have prayed that God would send angel to them physically, and God heard them and made angel come to them face to face:

[Judges 13:8-9 BSB] — "Then Manoah prayed to the LORD, “Please, O Lord, let the man of God You sent us come to us again to teach us how to raise the boy who is to be born.” And God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the angel of God returned to the woman as she was sitting in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her.”

Some others did not expressly prayed for angels to come to them, and yet angels came in response or answer to their prayers, as in this bible verse in red. I don't think Daniel specifically asked for angels to appear or come to Him before they came. Even Manoah, who prayed for the angel to come before the Lord granted the prayer request, did not know the man of God was an angel. To me, it's easier to pray for angels to come to me and they come, than to pray for a man of God among men to come me and they come without me booking a classy hotel, paying consulting fee, preparing logistics packages and offerings, etc for the man of God.

Nevertheless, to see an angel or angels, do not just pray to see them but rather pray to see visions, revelations or experience spiritual, hidden or heavenly things: and when God answers such prayers, you will also see angels so easily; for to see such things requires seeing angels as well: for the angels will show them to you, or by seeing the Lord God Himself or the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jn 5:20: "For the Father loves the Son, and reveals to him everything he does; and the Father will show to him even more incredible things that will completely amaze you."

↝ OUT OF GREAT LOVE AND RESPECT FOR DANIEL ↜

[Daniel 10:11 NKJV] — And he said to me, “O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you.” While he was speaking this word to me, I stood trembling.
⇵
[Daniel 10:11 ICB] — The man in the vision said to me, “Daniel, God loves you very much. Think very carefully about the words I will speak to you. Stand up because I have been sent to you.” And when he said this, I stood up. I was still shaking.
⇵
[Daniel 10:11 NLV] — "And he said to me, "O Daniel, you who are loved very much, understand what I am about to tell you, and stand up. For I have now been sent to you." When he said this to me, I stood up shaking in fear."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Sometimes, when Angels of God are sent to men on earth in the battle, those Angels carry out their assigned duties out of their obligations or tasks they are charged with concerning those men. But from some of them, like this one in the bible verse in red, one can tell they are doing their tasks and relation with the men both out of duties and out of their love and respect for these men also.

You see this principal angel here revealed how much Daniel is loved even before disclosing his duty or assignment for which he was sent to Daniel. He put love for Daniel ahead of his duty for Daniel, not duty ahead of love or duty without love. He showed Daniel was greatly beloved or loved, before asking he who is greatly beloved to pay attention to his ministry and message he was sent to him for.

Someone said this to express the same point I intend here:
“People may not care how much you know, until they know how much you care.”

Like this Principal angel in this bible verse in red:

-A- You may have to touch them (as this angel touched Daniel in preceding verse to awoken or excite him), in showing you care;

-B- You may have to call them by their names (as this angel knew and mentioned Daniel by name), in showing you care;

-C- You may have to tell them how much God and the heavens love and respect them (as this angel revealed, not how much title, rank or respect he himself commands, but putting the focus on the feeble Daniel and showing how much the feeble or fearful Daniel is greatly loved and highly esteemed), in showing you care. The angel here did not begin to introduce himself as “Arch–” or “Title” as in “Archangel, Archbishop, etc.” infact, as great as the angel was he did not even mention his own name, title, or authority he has in the heavens among angels or before God, not even introduction of himself: Rather, the great Prince (angel) was focused on the name of fainted or feeble Daniel and showing of the great love (great respect) that Daniel had before God and angels in heaven. Do you see these things?

-D- It's after this great Prince and Minister of God has shown so much care, love and respect to Daniel, that he appealed to Daniel’s attention and attendance to his words or messages.

-E- And though this great figure had the power, authority and the voice of multitude to command Daniel to stand up and Daniel must stand up, he was rather using psychological “Engagement” or “Motivation” to make Daniel stand up instead of using force to achieve the upstanding of Daniel. You know there are people who by the way they would have spoken to you, if they tell you to stand you will make yourself to stand; and there are other people you may not stand up for, even if they invoke their authority over you.

To be frank, I myself do not even practice these, and I haven't been great at these leadership qualities and of carrying people along as I outlined here concerning this great Prince and Minister of God from heaven to Daniel. There are pastors, ministers and leaders, among us that are far better at these qualities of carrying people along and caring for them before, during and after, their messages. Someone described me with this saying,
“He who is leading without anyone following him is just taking walk alone.”

I would just drop the messages, whether they hear or not, I would not care — showing I am more compelled by duty than by love for those to whom my messages were sent or meant for. Well, I do care, and I love to love those to whom I am sent. In anycase, the focus should be on this great Prince Angel and Minister of God, who knows both “Warfare” and “Welfare.” In Warfare, he is a great Warrior with Golden Belt around his waist, and in Welfare he knows how to care for and carry people along making them feel they really matter before making his messages for them to also matter to them.

As for Daniel:

The Lord greatly beloved Daniel, and this bible verse in red will help to expose how angels and Principalities of the heavens relate with men on earth who are greatly loved by God. We call John, “John the beloved” because he was known as the disciple whom the Lord Jesus loved; should we also call Daniel, “Daniel the beloved” according to this bible verse in red showing he's greatly beloved or loved by the Lord? No need, for no popular man again in the bible bore the name Daniel to warrant adding “the beloved” to his name, unlike in the case of John, one is “John the Baptist” and the other is “John the beloved.”

Well, both Daniel and John the beloved were both beloved special and were both given revelation of things to come in the endtimes or last days. The love of God brings revelations of God and angels to those whom the Lord beloved. From this bible verse in red only let's list 3 things to ministers whom the Lord God loves specially:

■1■ — To ministers God loves specially, He shows or reveals things — giving them revelations and visions of endtimes:

[John 5:20 FBV] — "For the Father loves the Son, and reveals to Him everything He does; and the Father will show to Him even more incredible things that will completely amaze you.”

■2■ — To ministers God loves specially, higher degrees or higher ranking angels, Principalities or Cherubim will reveal their body's surface anatomy to them face to face:

■2■ — To ministers God loves specially, higher degrees or higher ranking angels, Principalities or Cherubim will reveal to them.

Song 6:8-10: "There are sixty queens, and eighty concubines, and virgins without number. But My dove, My undefiled is one alone. She is the only one of her mother. She is the choice of her who bore her. The daughters saw her and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines saw her, and they praised her. Who is she who appears like the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, awesome as an army with banners?"

↝ THE SPREAD AND THE CREDIT OF THE BRIDE'S BEAUTY ↜

[Ezekiel 16:14 AFV] — "And your name went out among the nations because of your beauty; for it was perfect through My splendor, which I had put on you,” says the Lord GOD."
⇵
[Ezekiel 16:14 BSB] — "Your fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, for it was perfect in the splendor I bestowed on you, declares the Lord GOD."
⇵
[Ezekiel 16:14 GNT] — You became famous in every nation for your perfect beauty, because I was the one who made you so lovely.” This is what the Sovereign Lord says.

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

The Lord said that a city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Now this saying is not just applicable in the courses of Light, but also applicable in the courses of Splendor (Beauty). To have certain Light, Splendor or Beauty powered by the Lord on you is to be raised, elevated, exalted, exposed and announced to all nations, without you necessarily visiting or meeting those nations or people prior. Unless they are too blind to see, even as such lights, splendors, beauties are now abounding in abundance in the heavens, but the blind world cannot see or know them.

In this bible verse in red, the Bride of the Lord had a beauty and glory that could all be seen by all the nations, and not hidden to any even as the sun can be seen to all and not hidden to some. Two things from this bible verse in red:

■1■ — THE SPREAD OF HER BEAUTY — The Lord, Her Husband, wants the Bride’s beauty to spread abroad like the gospel to all nations:

There's an African adage that sounds like this:

"A man who marries a beautiful wife has no rest, like a man who plants a fruit tree by the roadside.”

It implies that marrying someone considered extremely beautiful may attract persistent attention from others to her, which can lead to anxiety or unrest for the spouse. In the Bible, we saw Abraham and Isaac had that fear because of their extremely beautiful wives, Sarah and Rebekah, especially when they were among other nations. They claimed their wives were their sisters, for fear of being killed for having such extremely beautiful wives among those nations.

Guess who in bible actually killed a man and took his extremely beautiful wife: — David, anointed king David, fulfilled that fear of killing a man and taking his extremely beautiful wife, Uriah's wife.

But in this bible verse in red, the Lord is more bold, than king Xerxes was bold when the king would bring out and display his extremely beautiful wife (Queen Vashti) before all officials, nobles and politicians, covering 127 provinces across the world, without fear of any of them attempting nonsense on or for his beautiful wife in “Esther 1.”

So, you now understand better what I mean by, “The Lord, Her Husband, wants Her beauty to spread abroad like the gospel to all nations.” He has no one to fear, and none to covet His Bride, but all to glorify Him through the beauty and elegance of His Bride.

"In the same way, let Her Beauty so outshine before men, that they may see Her Splendor and glorify Her Husband in Her.”

Next:

■2■ — THE CREDIT FOR HER BEAUTY — The Lord, Her Husband, makes the Bride the Most Beautiful in all nations and He perfects Her Beauty:

Understand that the Lord did not marry the most beautiful among women; rather He made whom He married the most beautiful among women. So, she was not always having that beauty in her, neither was she born so of her mother: Rather, the perfect beauty she attained was because of the Splendor (ornamentation) and investments the Lord God invested into Her according to the revelation of the Word of God declared in the bible verse in red.

— It is not, “Marry whom you love,” rather it is “Love whom you married.”

— It is not, “Marry the most beautiful woman you meet,” rather it is “transform or transfigure the woman you married into the most beautiful woman.”

— It is not, “Marry the richest lady,” rather it is “make the lady you you married the richest lady and queen of them all.”

He is testing His works out by looking for any competition among beauties that can even come close to match the perfect beauty He has built into Her. Who else is dragging the Crown of Beauty with Her in all nations of the earth? Where are the 3 daughters of Job?

[Job 42:14-15 AFV] — "And he called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren—Happuch. And in all the land there were not found women as beautiful as the daughters of Job. And their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.”

Daughters of Job, can you three combined together or multiplied by three match the Bride in beauty contest? Behold, even the combination or multiple of the beauties of 60 beautiful Queens, 80 beautiful concubines, uncountable beautiful virgins, altogether can still not be able to match the Perfect Beauty of the Bride.

[Song 6:8-10] — "There are sixty queens, and eighty concubines, and virgins without number. But My dove, My undefiled is one alone. She is the only one of her mother. She is the choice of her who bore her. The daughters saw her and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines saw her, and they praised her. Who is she who appears like the morning, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, awesome as an army in battle aray?”

[Psalms 27:4 AFV] — "One thing I have desired from the LORD, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in His temple,”

[Revelation 22:17 AFV] — "And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who thirsts come; and let the one who desires partake of the water of life freely.”

[2 Corinthians 11:2] — "For I am jealous over you with the jealousy of God because I have espoused you to one husband, so that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ."

↝ PRESENTABLE STATE OF THE BRIDE ↜

[Ezekiel 16:13 AFV] — "And you were adorned with gold and silver; and your clothing was of fine linen and silk and embroidered work. You ate fine flour and honey and oil; and you were exceedingly beautiful. And you advanced into a kingdom."
⇵
[Ezekiel 16:13 GWN] — "So you wore gold and silver jewelry. You were dressed in fine linen, silk, and embroidered clothes. Your food was flour, honey, and olive oil. You were very beautiful, and eventually you became a queen."
⇵
[Ezekiel 16:13 GNT] — You had ornaments of gold and silver, and you always wore clothes of embroidered linen and silk. You ate bread made from the best flour, and had honey and olive oil to eat. Your beauty was dazzling, and you became a queen.

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

From this bible verse in red, let's study “The Presentable State of the Bride” to the Lord and King and Her Husband. Presentation matters to presents and to presence with the Lord. It matters even more how the Lord's Bride is presented both to the Lord and to witnesses or watchers in attendance before the Lord. Presentation can make or mar acceptability: something presentable is most likely acceptable, and something unpresentable is most likely unacceptable. Therefore, present it both holy and acceptable to the Lord, which is your reasonable service.

[2 Corinthians 11:2 AFV] - "For I am jealous over you with the jealousy of God because I have espoused you to one husband, so that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.”

To show you how Presentability matters to the Bride and the King, the Lord, He told us in warning a parable in which a man came into the “Wedding Hall” without a wedding Garment or without being Presentable. Written:

[Matthew 22:11-14 AFV] — "And when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not dressed in proper attire for the wedding feast; And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you enter here without a garment fit for the wedding feast?’ But he had no answer. Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind his hands and feet, and take him away, and cast him into the outer darkness.’ There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen.””

In this reference, that penalised man was present in the King's presence or wedding, but he was not presentable. I know a man who a “Bouncer” at party turned back or refused him entering a night party simply because the man was not presentable (or not properly dressed to attend that event). He was present, but was not presentable.

Both Vashti (the first Queen) and Esther (the last Queen that replaced the first Queen, Vashti) committed a very grievous or deadly offence against their lord and husband that was also the king of kings then:

●A● — Queen Vashti's offence — was not appearing or presenting herself in her glory, beauty and presentable state, before the king (her husband) and before his lords and guests in attendance, especially when the king summoned the Queen to come and present herself then to them.

●B● — Queen Esther's offence — was appearing or presenting herself in her glory, beauty and presentable state, before the king (her husband) and before his lords and guests in attendance against the law, especially when the king did not summon the Queen to come and present herself then.

So, Esther's offence was like opposite to Vashti's offence, and even more deadlier than Vashti's offence. Here:

[b][Esther 4:11,16: 5:1-2 BSB] — “All the royal officials and the people of the king’s provinces know that one law applies to every man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned—that he be put to death. Only if the king extends the gold scepter may that person live. But I have not been summoned to appear before the king for the past thirty days.” ... “Go and assemble all the Jews who can be found in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day, and I and my maidens will fast as you do. After that, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish!” On the third day, Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the palace across from the king’s quarters. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the royal courtroom, facing the entrance. As soon as the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, she found favor in his sight. The king extended the gold scepter in his hand toward Esther, and she approached and touched the tip of the scepter.[/b]

Esther was in jeopardy of breaking the law and of death by forcing herself into the King's presence without the King's invitation. But she was “Presentable” (for she changed from mourning or fasting attire into her Presentable state attire before she dared entered the King's presence). I will use this again later.

But compare the two bible references I have cited already here: You saw in one, a man had invitation to come and he came before the king at the wedding, but because he was not Presentable (though he was invited) he was cast out and enslaved with bonds and torments in outer darkness. On the other hand, the woman (the queen Esther) that had no invitation and broke the law to come into the King's presence, but was Presentable, had the king stretched out his scepter to save or acquit her of the offence, and even favored her with promising to give her anything she asked to half the kingdom.

Now, let's focus on the bible verse in red, while looking at “The Presentable State of the Bride” to the Lord and King. Before then, let me state that some of the things here that apply to the “Bride of Christ” here may not apply to the “Body of Christ.”

■1■ The Bride was adorned with gold and silver —

In the bible verse in red, the Bride was adorned, decked or ornamented with gold and silver. I already told you “Gold and Silver” here stand for ornaments or treasures for glory and for beauty. The Queen or the Bride must come into the King's presence in gold ornaments. Compulsory? Yes. If Her dressing is without Gold ornaments, she is not presentable before the king. Therefore it is written,

[Psalms 45:9,13 AFV] — "Kings’ daughters are among Your honorable women; on Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir. … The king’s daughter is all glorious within; her clothing is trimmed with gold.”

To test this, Moses was commanded to dress the high priest (Aaron) with gold and silver jewelries (ornaments) for glory and for beauty, especially when the high priest would enter into the holy of holies. [See Exodus 28].

Now, in contrast to the Bride of Christ, the Body of Christ was told not to let their adornment or ornaments be that of outward wearing of gold or costly…. See:

[1 Timothy 2:9-10 AFV] — "In like manner also, let the women adorn themselves with clothing that shows modesty and discretion, not with elaborate braidings of the hair, or with gold, or pearls, or expensive apparel; But with that which is fitting for women who profess to have reverence for God— with good works.”

[1 Peter 3:3-5 AFV] — "Whose adorning, let it not be the external adornment of braiding the hair, or wearing gold jewelry, or dressing in costly clothing; But let your adornment be the inward person of the heart, manifested in the incorruptible jewel of a meek and quiet spirit, which is of great value in God’s sight. For in this way also the holy women of the past who hoped in God adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands;”

So, it's not compulsory for the body of Christ to wear gold ornaments before the Lord, but it is compulsory for the Bride of Christ to wear Gold ornaments before the Lord.

■2■ The Bride's clothing was of fine linen and silk and embroidered work —
In the bible verse in red, the Bride’s clothing was of fine linen and silk and embroidered work. It is compulsory for the Bride to come wearing embroidered work on her linen clothes. It not just She putting on fine linen, clean and white, but also she must have embroidered work on her clothing as the ornamentation on her clothing. Written:

[Psalms 45:13-14 AFV] — "The king’s daughter is all glorious within; her clothing is trimmed with gold. She shall be brought to the King in embroidered garments; the virgins, her companions who follow after her, shall be brought to You.”

Her wedding Garments or Presentable Garments must be of fine Linen and Silk and embroidered work. To test this, Moses was commanded to make embroidered works on the Garment and Ephod of the high priest (Aaron).

[Exodus 28:3-8 AFV] — "And you shall speak to all the wisehearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron’s garments to consecrate him so that he may minister to Me in the priest’s office. And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and an embroidered coat, a miter, and a girdle. And they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, and his sons, so that he may minister to Me in the priest’s office. And they shall take gold and blue and purple and scarlet and bleached linen. And they shall make the ephod of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet and fine-twined bleached linen, skilled work. It shall have the two shoulder pieces joined at the two edges of it. And so it shall be joined together. And the embroidered girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according to the work of it: of gold, blue, purple and scarlet, and finetwined bleached linen.”

These garments of the high priest or the Bride means three basic things: 1. The wearers are anointed priests to the Lord, 2. The wearers are clothed with holy garments, 3. The wearers are not mourning or weeping or sad.

They are Presentable Garments to both the High priest and the Bride, because both of these offices forbids mourning or weeping. The body of Christ may mourn or weep, but the Bride of Christ must never mourn or weep in Her being Presentable before the Lord. Aaron's two sons were just killed by the Lord, for they offered strange fire before the Lord; but Aaron could not Mourn or put on sack clothes (mourning clothes) especially because the presence of God was always there manifest, and he must not put off the high priest garments, lest he loses his Presentable state before the Lord.

You saw that even though Esther was mourning or fasting she had to switch into her royal or Presentable garments before appearing in the King's Presence.

The Lord Jesus could appear before God and the heavens the same way He was stained, as the Lamb was slain or crucified: He entered Holy of holies still bearing the blood, the wounds or marks of His sufferings, Mourning, weeping etc. But the Bride of Christ can not appear before God in anything lest than fine linen, embroidered works and silk. She must not even come wearing mantle of Humility or sack clothes: Rather She must be all glorious within and without, with garments of praise and joy.

[Ecclesiastes 9:7-8 AFV] — "Go your way, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God now accepts your works. Let your garments be always white; and let your head lack no ointment.”

■3■ The Bride ate fine flour and honey and oil —
In the bible verse in red, the Bride also ate these food stuff that are meant for feasts. By default, these listed items of food are “Feast Foodstuffs:” Honey for juices of sweetness, and the flour and oil for confectioneries including bread, cakes etc.

They are not mourning food or food taken for bitterness. Basically, the Queen or Bride must not fast or mourn especially while the king Her Bridegroom is with Her.

[Matthew 9:15 AFV] — "And Jesus said to them, “Are the children of the bridechamber able to mourn while the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast."

See, the Bride eats of the Tree of Life and drinks of the Water of Life: and She calls together with the Spirit to whoever is willing to come drink of the water of Life.

[Revelation 22:17 AFV] — "And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who thirsts come; and let the one who desires partake of the water of life freely.”

■4■ The Bride was exceedingly beautiful —

Her charms are not deceitful, and Her beauty is not vain: — For She is beautiful for situation and She is the Joy of the whole earth.

Her being Presentable requires Her being beautiful in all ramifications of beauties, charms, favors, elegance and excellence.

[Psalms 50:2] — "Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shined forth.”

Don't forget, He made “Beauty” to dwell where He also dwells, which is, inside His Sanctuary or Holy Place. Beauty does not dwell in fairytale, or in hell, or with mermaid, or with the beast, or with devils, or with prostitutes: Rather, Beauty and Strength both dwells with the Lord God inside His Holy of Holies or His sanctuary. To look for beauty, do not go to cosmetic shops or beauty centres to look for beauty; rather go into the most holy place where God dwells and find beauty. As it is written,

[Psalms 96:6 GWN] "Splendor and majesty are in His presence. Strength and beauty are in His holy place."

Thus, beauty is called ‘Beauty of Holiness’ as in Holy place

[Psalms 29:2 AFV] — "Give to the LORD the glory due to His name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.”

Also called “Beauty of the Lord inside His House”

[Psalms 27:4 AFV] — "One thing I have desired from the LORD, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in His temple,”

■5■ The Bride advanced into a kingdom. —

Thus, the Kingdom of Jerusalem. This also means she became the Queen, the City or Capital of the Kingdom of God and of the Lamb.

Her beauty contributed to the brightness of Her rising into becoming a Kingdom or Queen. And “Beauty” here is inseparable from the holiness of the Lord's Dwelling and Lord's Glory inside Her. His Holiness is the source of the rising Glory and Beauty inside Her.

If your gift made it into the Master's house, but failed to make it into the Master's use, you dishonor the Master's house because your gift makes the Master's house look like a warehouse or dumping site.

↝THE BRIDE AND THE LORD'S OFFERING↜

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

The Bride shall come to her celebrated state. She'll become the Celebrity Bride, the Queen, and advance to become a Kingdom — “The Kingdom of Jerusalem.”

See the future and high calling of the Lord for His Bride: Let's help ourselves to see these things better: I show you three of those perceptions I have seen concerning Her:

■1■ — The Bride will be the one Receiving all the Lord's Offerings: — I see even the Lord brought offerings and gifts to Her. — During Her time, offerings to the Lord will be brought to Her. She alone receives all offerings meant for the Lord or to the Lord, including the Lord Himself making offerings to Her.

No more giving offerings to priests, to pastors, to levites, to prophets or to any minister in the name of giving offering to the Lord God: Rather, all offerings to God are brought to Her. Any pastor, priest or person, receiving offerings on behalf of the Lord God shall be a robber, a thief or a fraud: — All offerings to the Lord come to Her.

However, at that time, offering will no longer be called “Offering” or “Sacrifice” or “Tithe.” The word “offering” will be replaced with the word “Bringing Glory” or “Bringing Honor.” For example: — The Nations or kings will bring their glory or Honor into Her means they will bring what used to be refered to as offerings or tithes into Her. But in the new earth, the word “tithes” has no place in it, and the word “offering” will be unworthy. Therefore, the acceptable terms to use is, “they shall bring their glory or honour into Her.” As it is written

[Revelation 21:24-26 AFV] — "And the nations that are saved shall walk in its light; and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honor into it. And its gates shall never be shut by day; for there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.”

■2■ — The Offerings [I mean the glory and honor] acceptable in the Bride must come in as Ornaments of Silver and Gold (Precious Stones, Ornaments of Glory).

Gold and Silver here do not mean “Money,” but means “Glory.” For example, the glory of the Latter House shall be greater than the former means the gold and silver of the Latter House shall be greater than the former, in this context. Here,
Glory = Gold + Silver
Gold + Silver = Glory

This is because Gold and silver are not just literal gold or silver, but refer to Ornaments, jewelries or treasures that store or emit glory, honor and grace. Notice how the Lord, when talking about glory, talked about gold and silver, as He promised the nations or kings will bring their glory (offerings) into the latter house:

[Haggai 2:7-9 BSB] — "I will shake all the nations, and they will come with all their treasures, and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of Hosts. The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine, declares the LORD of Hosts. The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former, says the LORD of Hosts. And in this place I will provide peace, declares the LORD of Hosts.””

So when I say bring your Gold and Silver into Her, I mean bring your glory into Her, but never bring your money into Her.

Don’t bring Money as offering to Her, neither give Her any thing that is exchangeable as medium of exchange, trade or transaction: Money is corruption to Her, and trading (transaction) is forbidden to Her. Do not even bring anything to Her with the mind of exchanging it for something else from Her, or give Her offering to buy Her blessing, favor or something in return for your offerings or gifts: that's is abominable to Her. Anything or offering you give Her with expectation of a reward or exchange from Her to you, such thing or offering is not pure because your mind has trading or transactional motive and thus it is not pure to Her.

[Act 8:20-21 AFV] — "But Peter said to him, “May your money be destroyed with you because you thought that the gift of God might be purchased with money. You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.”

■3■ — Your works will be in your Offerings or Gifts to Her, but your works are not to feed Her, clothe Her or adorn Her — Those are Her Husband's duties: The Lord Himself will Build Her, Wash Her, Dress Her, Ornament Her and Feed Her, by Himself as Her Groom, Husband or Lord.

Just ensure your offerings meet the Master's use, not just meeting the Master's house: If your gift made it into the Master's house, but failed to make it into the Master's use, you dishonor the Master's house because your gift makes the Master's house look like a warehouse or dumping site.

[2 Timothy 2:20-21 MKJV] — "But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor. Therefore if anyone purges himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honor, sanctified and useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.”

Which one did she become first: The Body or the Bride?

↝TO CHRIST:— IS SHE THE BODY OR THE BRIDE? ↜

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Paul the apostle of the Lord taught us in Scriptures, that the Church is the Body of Christ: — Paul unveiled this in revealing the mystery of marriage between Christ and His Church, given that the two became one Flesh or Body [Ephesians 5:30–32]. Thus, the Church is members of His Body, of His Flesh, of His Bones, and one spirit with Him.

But the same Paul had earlier written [in Ephesians 4] of the ministers gifted (Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers) to the Church for the edifying (building) of the Body of Christ — to a “Perfect Man” and to “Measure of the Stature of the fullness of Christ.” [Ephesians 4:11-13].

My question to Paul here and there are these:

■1■ — Is the Church supposed to be built “To a Perfect Man (measuring up to the Stature of fullness of Christ)” or rather the Church is supposed to be built ‘To a Perfect Woman (measuring up to the Stature of Bonding, Companionship and Helper meet for Christ)’?

■2■ — Are we to build the “Body of Christ” for Christ, or rather we are to build the “Bride of Christ” for Christ?

If you don't understand my questions at Paul here, you may understand them as I proceed to tell you there is difference between building (edifying) the body of a man and building (edifying) the body of a woman, even though a woman is built for a man. Not only Paul, but even John taught saying that when He (Christ the Lord) shall appear and we see Him, we shall be like He is. And Paul wrote that we all in a mirror/glass are changed into the same Image of the Lord from glory to glory by seeing Him through the Spirit of the Lord.

Then the Revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ and His Bride came to John in the book of Revelation: — And we saw that the Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ is built differently from how the Lord Jesus Christ (the Lamb) is. If the word, “Christian” means “Like Christ,” then I say the Bride of Christ is not a “Christian.” The disciples of Christ should be Christians, but the Bride of Christ should not be Christian. The essence of discipleship is to raise a student to be like his teacher or a servant be like his master: — But you don't raise a Bride to be like her Husband but rather groom a Bride to be with her husband, be for her husband, and be filled by her husband.

Therefore, becoming “Like Christ” was not promoted anywhere in the book of Revelation; rather being “With Christ” is the call.

●A● — In the book of Romans, you have to be predestined to conform to the image of the Son before you are called or chosen and then after you are called He will then justify you, and then after you are justified He will then glorify you, all according to Paul in “Romans 8:29-30.”

●B● — But in the book of Revelation, "Those who are with Him are called, and chosen, and faithful." [Revelation 17:14]

The Lord Himself said, “Whoever is not with Me is against Me.” It is not, ‘Whoever is not like Me is against Me;’ rather it is “Whoever is not with Me is against Me.” Being like Him is not the same as Being with Him.

As we advance deeper into endtimes, you can be distracted or deceived the most by those who are the most like Him (Christ Jesus). The more someone is with Him, the less the person can distract or deceive you; but the more someone is like Him, the more the person can distract or deceive you. Satan and devils come as or like angels of like, even like Christ, to deceive many.

Stop looking to be like Christ or do like Him, but seek more to abide with Christ and walk more closely with Him. Do not fall for the same thing that Eve fell for, which was, “you shall be like God knowing good and evil;” even the devil used the same lies to himself saying, “I will be like the Most High” in Isaiah 14.

Your highest goal is to be with Him and joined to Him as His Bride in marriage: Yes, we still need His likeness to be with Him — we must be pure as He is pure, we must be holy for He is holy, we must be perfect for He is perfect, and we must be faithful and true because He is faithful and true — if we will be with Him. But remember, the goal is to be with Him, not just to be like Him or to do like Him.

It is also a difference between “Cloning or Reproducing Christ” in a person and “Wedding Christ with a person.” One refers to reproduction, the other refers to marriage. Paul laboured until Christ is formed inside the church of Galatians [4:19]. He was busy labouring to form Christ Jesus inside the People: — so that Christ may see Himself, image and likeness inside them. Like one of the songs says, “Let others see Jesus in you…keep telling the story, be faithful and true, let others see Jesus in you.”

I tell you, The Bride of Christ will have the Glory, the Light, and Presence of the Lord Jesus Christ and of God in Her. This will not come by Her own self effort, labour or works, to imitate Christ; rather this will come by the Lord adorning Her with the necessary Ornaments and then filling Her with Himself. Therefore, it is not Her that will come to the fullness of Christ; rather Christ the Lord is He that comes to the fullness of Her.

↝ TOUCHING THAT RATHER KEEPS YOU TREMBLING THAN LEAVING SLEEPING ↜

[Daniel 10:10 MKJV] — "And behold, a hand touched me, which set me shaking on my knees and the palms of my hands."
⇵
[Daniel 10:10 ICB] — Then a hand touched me and set me on my hands and knees. I was so afraid that I was shaking.
⇵
[Daniel 10:10 NCB] — "But then I felt a hand touch me, and as I trembled I was raised to my hands and knees."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Thrice of Daniel’s physical encounters with Principalities of heaven were written in the bible, and in those three distinct occasions Daniel was touched physically by those Principalities five times altogether: Gabriel appeared to Daniel twice and touched him physically twice, and this Principality appeared to Daniel once but touched him physically thrice. Hence, this bible verse in red is the beginning or first of the three times he touched Daniel physically. Also they were real matter, material or tangible touch, and not a mere ghost-touch.

You may have seen where a minister laid hands on people, and someone begins to vibrate and fall especially backwards with trembling and convulsing. Some of them are true, but there are fake ones by actors. Also some of such convulsions are caused by two or more conflicting forces jamming and striving in and over the person convulsing or a spirit simply throwing the man into some form of electrocution from within even without visible contact with electricity: — that is, I am not giving a neurological or medical explanation to convulsions or seizures here, but spiritual explanation to them. For example, see a next B. reference:

[Mark 9:26 FBV] — "The spirit screamed and threw the boy into severe convulsions. Then the spirit came out of the boy and left him for dead— to the extent that many of the people said, “He's dead.””

Now let's focus on the bible verse in red:

A hand, (whether it was the hand of the Principality or that of another being like that which came to write the handwriting on the wall), yes a hand touched Daniel. That “hand-touch” awoke Daniel from deep-sleep or from fainting, and raised him from lying on the ground facedown to his knees and hands basically on as his ground bases instead of his whole body lying on the dust.

As soon as Daniel became awoken from the deep sleep, he was reconnected to his trembling and convulsing fears. He was like a man who slept for sorrow, and while asleep forgot his worries but as soon as he awoke from the sleep or dreams he remembers and reconnects back to worrying. Thus is Daniel in the red bible verse.

Like Daniel here and there, there are some of us that are here now and there are also rest of us that are there:

■A■ Some of us here now — are those of us who have been and are being awoken into awareness of the realities and Presence of the Lord and things that cause us to fear and tremble, shaking and sweating because of these realities of His Presence, His Judgments and True Realities. Our song is, ‘We know His Terror or Judgment.’

[2 Corinthians 5:11] — "Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest to God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.”

Like Daniel or Like Jacob in this next bible reference, those of us here are awoken to realities of the Presence of God, and are afraid:

[Genesis 28:16-17] — "And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.” And he was afraid, and said, “How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.””

■B■ Rest of us there now — are those of us who are spiritually in deep sleep and have not been awoken yet, for we‘ve not yet been touched to wake us up into the intensity of these presence, terrors and realities: we are figuratively sleeping in the very battle or war front, as well as figuratively sleeping during messages or warnings ongoing. We hear Speaker with many voices or Voice of multitude speaking and making sounds, but in our deep sleep we do not really understand or hear the words he is saying to us. Besides, our faces while sleeping is pinned to the ground minding earthly things, instead setting our mind on the things above in the heaven where the Lord Jesus Christ presides. Our song is: “I know who I am because of what He said or did for me, He lives for me, He died for me, He is powerful and mighty for me, He works miracles for me, He fights for me, His riches and blessings are for me… etc, when I give Him tithes (10%), seed faith, Firstfruits offerings, etc, He will open the windows of heaven and pour abundance to me to increase my prosperity in cars, in houses, assets, power and fame.” — those of us under these influence are in deep sleep and foolish.

[1 Corinthians 15:34 AFV] — "Awake to righteousness, and do not sin, for some of you do not have the knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.”
