TWELVE SENT
Jesus was more than a Prophet. HE WAS GOD IN FLESH. His manner of prophecy was sometimes different from the ordinary, but they were prophesies, none the less. Here is one example of how they were different.
One day, according to Matt 10, He sent His twelve disciples out to act out a prophecy about the end of the age. It reads like this: Matthew 10:1 And when he had called unto [him] his twelve disciples, he gave them power [against] unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. z These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into [any] city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, Nor scrip for [your] journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. And into whatsoever city ortown ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. And when ye come into an house, salute it.
This was not a permanent arrangement, as we can see from other Scriptures that those same disciples were not able to do the job placed before them. The power,or Authority was given to them by Jesus, as proof that it could be done, and as a demonstration of what will be done by a few (comparatively) who are close enough to receive what will given to ardent followers on the Day of Atonement, and to reap the benefits from it.
I marvel that the truths of the Day of Atonement are not being taught more than they are. It seems to have "slipped through the cracks" of modern Theology.
But it is there, bright and clear, if we care to examine it.
The biggest problem will be letting go of some of the "standard" teachings before we can grasp this truth of future events in God's Calendar.
I will not bore you with facts you may not care about. BUT IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE, drop me a line, and I will send you material on it.
"Freely ye have received (without limitations or restraint). Freely give (no limitations on what you will be able to accomplish)." NOTHING can resist this God-given authority, as guided by the Spirit Itself.
The Mission? Preach, heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out devils, and have no worry about living expenses nor clothing. It was a prophecy of the days follow-
ing the Day of Atonement. I am hoping to see it, and participate in it, by the Grace of God.***
