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. ú 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,ú 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 or
_town 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.
"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 expens-
es 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.
