There are three major feasts of the LORD:
1) The Feast of Passover which is about justification
2) The Feast of Pentecost which is about Sanctification
3) The Feast of Tabernacles which is about Glorification
There have been 4 universal Ecclesias over history:
1) The Melchizedek Ecclesia = The Servants, Children and Sons of the current Melchizedek on The Earth from Adam to Jacob
2) The Passover Ecclesia which began with the fulfillment of The Feast of Passover in Egypt and ended in 70 A.D. with the destruction of Jerusalem and The Temple and the end of The Aaronic Priesthood. (There was a transition period from Jesus’ death until 70 AD.)
3) The Pentecost Ecclesia which began when The Day of Pentecost had fully come and will end with a judgment on it that is the equivalent to 70 A.D.. (We are currently in a transition period while The Pentecost Ecclesia comes to an end and The Tabernacles Ecclesia fully emerges. Actually we are probably during a period of time when Tabernacles is proclaimed and when Tabernacles will fully come.)
4) The Tabernacles Ecclesia which will begin with a fulfilment of The 8 days of Tabernacles which will be 8 days that is the equivalent the day of Pentecost fully coming in Acts 2.
Most of us are still in the process of fully being Sanctified.
Each Ecclesia begins with a fulfillment of the Feast on The Earth Timeline. It continues with individuals personally coming into a fulfillment of that Feast. This personal fulfillment begins with a personal experience of the Feast. This has happened for Passover and is happening for Pentecost. This personal fulfillment for Pentecost begins with receiving The Spirit, goes on to coming into function in some or all of The 9 Manifestations of The Spirit, goes on for some to functioning in one or more of The Stones of The Kingdom Age and is to include with fully manifesting The 9-fold Fruit of The Spirit.
Each Ecclesia faces a divine fruit inspection. Jesus came, in part, to see if The Passover Ecclesia had produced the required Fruit. As a whole, it had not produced fruit while some individuals did. When he cursed the fig tree he cursed Israel as The Passover Ecclesia.
This is the background to glorification.
Glorification is a journey that is The Journey that we are to do corporately and personally in The Passover Ecclesia.
Jesus personally foreran Tabernacles and glorification while building The Pentecost Ecclesia beginning with training The 12.
Jesus’ glorification journey began with:
“And the glory which You gave Me I have given them (The 12), that they may be one just as We are one: …” John 17:22 NKJV
When was Jesus given this glory?
When The Holy spirit Descended upon him as a dove.
When did he give The 11 this same glory?
When he breathed upon them and said, “Receive The Holy Spirit”.
Receiving The Holy Spirit is both the beginning of Pentecost and being sanctified and the beginning of Tabernacles and being glorified.
Receiving The Holy Spirit is the beginning of being glorified.
All of our journey into Oneness with the first and second persons of The Godhead is part of our Tabernacles / Glorification Journey beginning with being given the glory when we receive The Holy Spirit.
The Glory is one of many names / manifestations of The Spirit:
1) fire
2) water
3) wind
4) smoke (the glory cloud)
5) etc.
Notice how Jesus defined the purpose of receiving The Spirit in John 17:22:
“And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one…”
The purpose that he states here is one of Tabernacles and Glorification
We know that there is also a Pentecost and Sanctification purpose for receiving The Spirit which is not completed until we are dead to sin and have crucified the flesh.
When will The Pentecost / Tabernacles purpose for receiving The Spirit be complete?
When we are fully One with both the second and the first persons of The Godhead in each of their names. Oneness begins with position and ends with function.
Highest Oneness is with God and The Word in The Realm of Eternity.
The Modern Melchizedek Progression is part of The Tabernacles / Glorification / Oneness Journey.
The 12 were part of two universal Ecclesias:
1) The Pentecost Ecclesia that Jesus began to build upon Peter’s confession of Jesus as The Christ and The Son of The Living God and
2) The Tabernacles Ecclesia built upon Oneness with the first and second persons of The Godhead
Pentecost is revealed throughout The New Testament. Tabernacles is revealed on John’s writing primarily in The Gospel of John and the Revelation of Jesus Christ. These two books are structured around Tabernacles. This is revealed in Stephen E. Jones multi-volumed commentaries on each book.
Tabernacles is one of my mandates in my New Name of “John”.
Jesus trained The 12 as Melchizedek Apostles. Towards the end of his training he began to reveal the upcoming ministry of the Spirit. He also revealed that Lordship in The Realm of The Kingdom of God was imminent for The 11.
As part of his last-minute training of The 11 just before his death he said this in John 17:
“Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” John 17:24 NKJV
We know that no one comes to The Father except by Jesus as The Way, The Truth and The Life.
This is speaking of The Father in the second level of Godship. Which is followed by coming to The Majesty on High, The Ancient of Days and The Power all also at the second level of Godship.
I recently saw that Jesus prayer for The 11 was about them being with him and seeing him at the first and highest level of Godship. Jesus wanted The 11 to be with him as The Word and behold his glory as The Word. This is the beginning of the highest level of The Glorification Journey:
1) be with The Word
2) Behold The Word’s glory as The word
3) receive
4) seek to enter into
5) enter into which means to begin to function as Word
When did The 11 Apostles begin this level of The Glorification Journey?
While they were still alive!
The Apostles had 2 major levels of Journey going on simultaneously:
1) The Journey on the earth that is recorded in The Acts of The Apostles. This is a journey of living out Pentecost.
2) The Heavenly Journey of living out Tabernacles / Glorification / Oneness.
This second Journey is hidden from most believers.
There are 2 aspects of The Tabernacles / Glorification / Oneness Journey:
1) The Journey with respect to The Word that I have revealed above. Jesus as The Word dwells in unapproachable light and cannot be seen. Unapproachable Light = The Invisible God at the highest level of Godship.
2) The Journey up through New Jerusalem as The Bride of Christ up to The Lamb and then to The Lamb as The Word of God functioning to have victory over the enemies of God just before The 1000 Years.
This is The Big Picture of Tabernacles and Glorification.
Question: “At what point are we glorified or are we at the start already – just saw a post saying we are glorified already and just awaken?
I see it as degrees.”
Yes. It is degrees.
Seeing something that has up until now been hidden = awakening.
I don’t see awakening as always being awakening to something that we already are. At the higher levels of awakening we are awakening to something that we can become by doing a Journey.
There is no way that The 11 were already The Word and just had to awaken to it. They were not yet in that place. They were about to awaken to Jesus being The Word. They were about to awaken to a Journey with respect to Jesus as The Word. That Journey would soon begin when the Father answered Jesus’ prayer that The 11 might be with him as The Word so that they could behold his glory as The Word.
