Life in Tree Language

 

‘On exactly the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the crops of the land, you shall celebrate the feast of the Lord for seven days, with a [o]rest on the first day and a [p]rest on the eighth day. 40 Now on the first day you shall take for yourselves the [q]foliage of beautiful trees, palm branches and branches of trees with thick branches and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days. 41 So you shall celebrate it as a feast to the Lord for seven days in the year. It shall be a permanent statute throughout your generations; you shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42 You shall live in booths for seven days; all the native-born in Israel shall live in booths, 43 so that your generations may know that I had the sons of Israel live in booths when I brought them out from the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’” NASB

gather some branches from the beautiful trees in the area: palm fronds, limbs thick with leaves, and branches from the river willow. VOICE BIBLE

And ye shall take you on the Yom HaRishon the fruit of the citron tree, branches of temarim (date palms), and twigs of plaited trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before Hashem Eloheichem shivat yamim. ORTHODOX JEWISH BIBLE

What is Citron ?

A citron tree (Citrus medica) is a small, thorny evergreen tree or shrub known for its large, lemon-like fruits with thick, warty rinds. It's one of the oldest citrus varieties and is cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions. Citrons are primarily used for their fragrant zest and thick, white pith, which is often candied or used in preserves.

  Now on the first day you shall take for yourselves the foliage of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick (leafy) trees, and willows of the brook [and make booths of them]; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days.


So linking this up with Matthew Mark Luke John personalities and the four living beings we have a kind of rough mix of impressions in the Spirit, not mane easier by the fact that the three lists of 4 beings aren't even standard but catching different shades of our humanity eg Mark type stolid Ox dependability and project  completion , but also the Lord of the Rings  Sam Ganges, Cherub face quality.

Some translations take citron tree as comely trees which they are also having a fresh lemony fragrance.
Date palm trees for fruitful trees.
Thick  trees is sometimes read as thick boughs, or thick plaited branches.
But the willow tree idea remains standard.

We all wrestle something n earth to be fruitful.

Mathew types wrestle at quite large scale to pull off direction and ordering, and it can be quite a confrontation with Status quo or other unruly spirits and ideas in the other quartiles.

Marks are often wrestling with order dates and deadlines to see tasks completed.

John types are actually seeing into the unseen realm and bringing these things  into our current reality. Like the bowed willow, the fourth quartile carry this stuff but the other quartiles think we are doing nothing at all.
 This is born out in this description.

Some Rockers look like willow trees

Jesus didnt look like He was doing anything  at the very height of His prophetic work ., His Lamb calling. It fools Jews to this day .

On one level the life of Watchman Nee and my own life look an absolute waste. Nee's old headmaster actually said that to him.

But this is why we must get  this message out to the rest of the quartiles. We are indeed labouring to bring in manifestation here, but we arent using natural means.

Maybe some write, some sing some are playwrites and poets, some are mystic teachers and prophets, but our value isnt   a load of citrin bling or date palm taste or , lots of thickly interwoven branch waving. Franz Kafka explains the sort of things we are doing in parables.
100 years in people do know Kafka is describing things like impersonal scary bureaucracy, but there are many more details than this in his short stories and novels.

Impersonal Logical Agenda ? No ,Childbirth .

 

From Norma on Instagram

Agenda in pyramid terms is very mind centric . Agenda in Divine terms sounds mindcentric in Greek , but thank God for prophets , for the fourth quartile who are God's living gift to everybody of what Word is .

All the time people flushed out from seminaries quote Logos as if Greek is Divine . Hebrew is Divine . Greek is a product of a tribe who went AWOL. Greek is a product of a tribe described as the Snake in the Way .

Logic isn't our centre .

Word is something Born .

Word is a conception .

The fourth quartile curate spirit . It is vital the fourth quartile connect properly .

" In whose hearts are the highways to Zion ".

The fourth quartile speak . Orate .

Orate is different from ' write a book '.

The fourth quartile are the Face of the Eagle . The Eagle Face is the only Living Being that gives the top down view . John's gospel is called the non  synoptic gospel . It's stating a truth , but almost disdainfully . " Why can't he be like the rest ! Why does he have to be different ".

John's gospel is a top down blueprint view , a Tabernacle Layout view , as well as a Feasts view .

Like my blog it's telling you of the different heavenly spaces .

John 3 is our entrance into God's outer courts 

John 4 is our entrance into the inner courts to become part of the Priesthood of the Order of Melchizedek .

John 5 and John 6 are catching us up with the theme of Bread  and Food . Why ?

Because our spiritual Bread is to do the Will of God .

We are eating of His actual life as we DO THE WHAT'S NEXT OF GOD , which is revealed only by moment by moment live Fellowship with the Father . This is what the ' heavenly manna ' concept is . It's what the Psalm 19 concept of Word is , day to day pouring forth speech . It's what the Psalm 123 concept is . All this is related to the Table of ShewBread idea in the Holy place .

The Holy Place is Word and Spirit .

The Holiest Place is  chucking yourself right in lock stock and barrel : the altar of incense / Day of At -One - ment , Exekiel 47, Romans 12.1  but based on the FACTS of Galatians 2.20 and Colossians 3 .3

It's not something we attain .....it something Christ already did in His work 

So the adjoining thought with the Holy Place is that the Holiest Place is also Word and Spirit , but we are now grounded in our soul in what Christ did in our born again spirit .

We are now acacia box humanity covered on the inside and out with gold , and in our members are now stacked the three forms of Word . And accompanying us is Khavod. Or Spirit .

So everything was always Spirit and Word .

It is true that during this present period we have been living through since Acts , it is very like the transitional Feast of Pentecost .

Why ?

In Pentecost we have the High Priest waving two loaves . So we have improved some , from the Day of Christ's resurrection , which was the waving of the first Sheaf of corn before the Lord .

We have got as far as two loaves .

Israel and a separate Gentile house of the Lord 

Catholics and Protestants 

Protestants and Evangelicals 

Evangelicals and Charismatics 

God has allowed a God TV which is more candlestick in nature and Revelation TV which is more Berean and Word Centric .

But the point of Christ the Lamb / Brazen Altar

                            And 

Laver / baptism in water  plus oil anointing / baptism in the Spirit 

The point of candlestick and ShewBread 

Is God's insistence that if we want manifestation it's always been Spirit and Word .

The book Surrounded by Idiots is a book about the four quartiles written by somebody raised in the West outside the Bloodlines , outside the Upper levels of Tavistock Institute . As Minority Report showed and Xmen , which I haven't seen , shows , Tavistock Institute and Pulman's Magisterium or Jesuitry and Templars , they well know what we all are and especially the curators of spirit , the fourth quartile .

Word is not Logos or logic centred . It may percolate through the mind , but spirit is our whole inner being . Spirit is our main identity .

We have a soul , mind will and emotions , but who we are is spirit . In baptism in the spirit we were given the gift of tongues .  Tongues is so much part of a revelation of a different part of us . This direct connection bypassing our limited comprehension strengthens us and empowers our inner man .

The Four Faces are only the primary faces of the Living Beings . Take a look at Ezekiel 1, Ezekiel 10, and Revelation 4.  Each living being may have a primary face, but each has three more .

This is how we connect with each other . This is how we add to each other's lives .

Matthews make all of us more executive . Whatever Tony Robbins and Think and Grow Rich Napoleon Hill are , and I'm not advocating on " passing through fire " , they speak to our executive function .

Marks also get us up and at em . They speak to our caring function .

Lukes speak to clear thinking . Prioritisation . Through Golgotha and Romans 12 .2 they speak of not losing rationality to fear based thinking but having a sound mind . Legion after deliverance was found quited and having a sound mind .

Johns are well described by Franz Kafka . He describes them as the ' artist in society ' , but in pagan societies they are shamen , in Christ we are the prophets and Intercessors . Rees Howells and Mother Basilea Schlink were opening and closing doors over nations to do with dictators .

St John was revealing to us the Revelation of Jesus Christ Himself . Norman Grubb , who was a Cambridge mind as well as Intercessor was opening up for us the how of Genesis 3 and the how of the Total Solution in Christ . Way beyond the gospel of evangelicals or the gospel of victories of Morris Cerullo . This is the unsealing of the third Feast .....the work of the first 12 apostles and the more precise descriptions to Gentiles knowing nothing , by St Paul .

Madam Guyon was again opening this doorway as was Jacob Boehme in the 1600s.

GH Warnock was laying out the blueprint to us in a more Body Centric version like Book of Ephesians .

Logos is more than logic . Word is birthed in the spirit man . We are children of our Father ,going into the same birthing process of manifesting , not just an impersonal agenda , like the devil .....but a very Child of Promise in the earth .

Chris Welch's Facebook Reels June 2023

As each week progresses I take random photos and  film of what I'm involved with plus incoming details. Some of my posts are made into Facebook reels with media.
If you are on Facebook you can easily get through to my profile from the lefthand side of this page.
The setting is public.

The Quartile

Below is one of Franz Kafka's tales .
they are exactly midway between a Jesus parable and the detail of a short story or novel. In linear terms they are midway between a Jesus type  brevity of the line drawings in the The Good New Bible 1960s and the caricatures in Punch magazine which were often mini paintings.
Jesus always said the Kingdom is like....
He didnt say in a parable the Kingdom is.
Don't take the story below and think
Haha!!! The Emperor IS Jesus who died, because this Emperor never resurrected, which would have had to be the case if the "Message" was the gospel message.
We have just been in the Hapsburg Palaces. That is Kafka's context of Emperor and enormous palatial rooms with huge staircases where elite throngs of nobles and their partners can fill halls. Of cities where the castle is in the centre of cities surrounded by the ordure and trappings of normal life outside the palace. It is the period of revolutionary throngs cramming out cities with their gatherings and protests during the last European decades.
So NOTHING is exactly anything in Kafka. And nothing in Jesus parables is exactly anything either.

One hundred years after Kafka, what was Kafka actually doing? Don't know. But this is somewhere in the mix:

There are four personalities that write the gospel.
If Matthew is all out Kingdom, legal rights,geneologies, about the announcement of Kingdom and WILL in the sense of administrative will
If Mark is all about action, and written by a serving pragmatic sort who likes to get things done, a people person and WILL in the sense of BULLOCK like determination to see something through
If Luke is about sweating out the details, and planning, and the mind, and what actually happened in the nerdy sort of attention to detail thing like a train spotter
Then John is about recording everything from an internal topographical viewpoint. We enter the Kingdom by being born again. We have to learn and experience the "ways of the Water of God" this new way of living and flowing in the Spirit, of going where the Spirit leads, like John 7. But also NAILING the bottom line of the gospel in John 6....it's not about an outside God answering daily needs, nor a healing crusade.
It's about EATING Christ as opposed to living in Genesis 3 delusion.

IF largely the three other writers are writing in the external realms of "Some say it thundered". John is writing in the realm that says God spoke from heaven and said " Behold my Beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.".

Now if the whole population are 3/4 outer people , and they were designed that way so we could live in an outer world, then it seems to indicate, like Kafka, like poets, like caricaturists, like artists and musicians, like futurologists who advise kings and institutions like Patrick Dixon then there is a quarter of us who deal with the "Arriving on Platform 3/4" but not yet here department. Or in terms of bad things.....this is actually appearing from within right now inside mankind but it hasnt fully manifested and taken over yet.....
Bonhoeffer and Hitler
Or the prophet type rabbit in Watership Down.

The Hunger Artist by Franz Kafka is another such tale about "the artist in society" as bigwhigs at universities like to say.

It's the struggle to communicate what is actually on its way as a spontaneous move to an Empire run in heirarchy.
In this tale the Emperor is giving the message from the top, but it clearly isnt the sort of message that he would normally pass down a heirarchy, or why invite such a man from nowhere to be the envoy?

But this is the essential problem that all societies have lived with since Genesis 3 when the first heirarchy order virus seized the planet. All information comes through heirarchy, so who exactly are these nobody upstarts, this quarter of society without proper linear accreditation to give very critical information that will change our manner of life?
And that continual misunderstanding of why God even created this quartile continually impedes their journey.

HERE IS THIS MORNING'S THOUGHT.
Supposing that very impedance in the will of God is part of the process that all of us make......the messenger in the sheer struggle, similar to a wife in labour then giving birth,....and the VISUAL of a struggling Hunger Kuenstler or Hunger Artist to the rest of the public, that is actually part of the process of a whole community learning to turn inward, away from heirarchy living to inward based living which is Galatians 2.20 and the actual arrival of the Kingdom of God like a cloud the size of a man's hand.

Perhaps the arrival of the Kingdom of God is a man's hand doing the simplest of things like giving, and not letting the other hand even know, but out of consciousness and not of a sick orphan Genesis 3 appeasement.
Just a thought.



This is Mark Harman's 2011 translation
from his blogpost on New York Review of Books
https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2011/07/01/message-emperor-new-translation/

A Message from the Emperor

The emperor—it is said—sent to you, the one apart, the wretched subject, the tiny shadow that fled far, far from the imperial sun, precisely to you he sent a message from his deathbed. He bade the messenger kneel by his bed, and whispered the message in his ear. So greatly did he cherish it that he had him repeat it into his ear. With a nod of his head he confirmed the accuracy of the messenger’s words. And before the entire spectatorship of his death—all obstructing walls have been torn down and the great figures of the empire stand in a ring upon the broad, soaring exterior stairways—before all these he dispatched the messenger. The messenger set out at once; a strong, an indefatigable man; thrusting forward now this arm, now the other, he cleared a path though the crowd; every time he meets resistance he points to his breast, which bears the sign of the sun; and he moves forward easily, like no other. But the crowds are so vast; their dwellings know no bounds. If open country stretched before him, how he would fly, and indeed you might soon hear the magnificent knocking of his fists on your door. But instead, how uselessly he toils; he is still forcing his way through the chambers of the innermost palace; never will he overcome them; and were he to succeed at this, nothing would be gained: he would have to fight his way down the steps; and were he to succeed at this, nothing would be gained: he would have to cross the courtyard and, after the courtyard, the second enclosing outer palace, and again stairways and courtyards, and again a palace, and so on through thousands of years; and if he were to burst out at last through the outermost gate—but it can never, never happen—before him still lies the royal capital, the middle of the world, piled high in its sediment. Nobody reaches through here, least of all with a message from one who is dead. You, however, sit at your window and dream of the message when evening comes.
