3 2 THE NEW CHURCH PART 2 A Prophesy for the Church in these Last Days: THE LAW OF THE HOUSE Given to Timothy II on August 23, 1993 (Please Note: Part 2 should not be given out unless approved by Timothy II or Staff) VI. SHOW THE PATTERN OF THIS CHURCH BUILT BY THE LORD, TO THE OTHER CHURCHES BUILT BY MAN: This in-depth Study of paragraph VI, is for the Pastors/Priests of the churches that are built by man. It is to be shown to them, only after they have read Part 1 of The New Church, and as a result have become ashamed. After reading Part 2, hopefully they will Repent! The Pastors/ Priests of the Churches built by God, have no need to read Part 2 of The New Church, because God has already put this knowledge within them. 1. SHOW THE HOUSE: Ezek 43:10 10 Thou son of man, (1) shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern. What House? The New House with the Glory of the Lord. Ezek 43:4 4 And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east. Show it to Whom? To the house of Israel, which represents the churches built by man, because God has made a New Covenant with His New Church. Heb 8:8

4 3 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: This New Church is different! The New Church will go find the sheep, and preach, heal, cleanse, raise, & cast out. Matt 10:6-8 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. The New Church s foundation will be Jesus Christ and no other! Jesus will be restored as both Lord & Christ, and will remain as the foundation of the Church. 1 Cor 3:11 11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Acts 2:36 36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. 2. THAT THEY MAY BE ASHAMED: Ezek 43:10 10 Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, (2) that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern. Some will refuse to be ashamed. Jer 3:3 3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed. Soon it may be too late! Joel 1: Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished. 12 The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.

5 4 13 Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God. 14 Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD, 15 Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come. Joel 1: How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate. 19 O LORD, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field. 20 The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness. Therefore, be ashamed now, and Repent, before it is too late! Joel 2: Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. 14 Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God? Joel 2:17 17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? 3. AND LET THEM MEASURE THE PATTERN: Ezek 43:10 10 Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: (3) and let them measure the pattern. The pattern of the New Covenant is Jesus. Heb 8:1-6 1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; 2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. 3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.

6 5 4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: 5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. 6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. Who is not in Holy Places made with hands. This is especially important for Catholics to understand. Heb 9: And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. 23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: These churches that are built by man, may have been started with the right motives, but they have left their First Love - Jesus! Rev 2:1-5 1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; 2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: 3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. 4. AND IF THEY BE ASHAMED: 11 (4) And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.

7 6 Hopefully, they Will Repent! 2 Cor 12: Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying. 20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults: 21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed. Matt 3:8 8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: Rom 2:4 4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? I Jn 1:9 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 5. THEN SHOW THEM THE FORM OF THE HOUSE: 11 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, (5) shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them. The Form of the House is that of a Servant. Phil 2:3-7 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: There are Church Leaders of today who s churches are built by man, that act like Servants, and show a form of Godliness; but they have no power, nor do they believe in it. 2 Tim 3:5

8 7 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. These, obviously have not received the outpouring of the Holy Ghost. Acts 1:8 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. 6. AND THE FASHION THEREOF: house, (6) and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them. The Fashion thereof is Obedience. Phil 2:8 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Not fashioned to former lusts. 1 Pet 1: Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

9 8 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 10 Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. 13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: Obedience must be to God and not to man. Acts 5:29 29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. Without which we do not have the Holy Ghost! Acts 5:32 32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. If a Church is built by God it will last; but if it is built by man it will become nothing! Acts 5: And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: 39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God. 7. AND THE GOINGS OUT THEREOF: house, and the fashion thereof, (7) and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.

10 9 The Goings out thereof, is to Obey and Go out, not knowing where you go. That is true Faith! Heb 11:8 8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. Go out into the Streets. Luke 14:21 21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. Go out into the Highways and Hedges. To the rich on the highways and the drunks sleeping in the hedges. Luke 14:23 23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. 8. AND THE COMINGS IN THEREOF: house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, (8) and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them. The Comings in thereof, is to Compel them to come in. Luke 14:23 23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. 9. AND ALL THE FORMS THEREOF: All the Forms thereof, is the form of going out and coming in. house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, (9) and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and

11 10 all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them. Jesus is the door or the form. John 10:9 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. Ps 121:8 8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. 10. AND ALL THE ORDINANCES THEREOF: house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, (10) and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them. The Church built by God is Set free from the Ordinances of men. Col 2: Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. 20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, 21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not; 22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. And Set free from the Old Covenant to Serve the living God. This is especially true for the Jews.

12 11 Heb 9: Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. 2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. 3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; 4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; 5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. 6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. 7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: 8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: 9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; 10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. 11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 11. AND ALL THE FORMS THEREOF: house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, (11) and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them. And All the forms of the Ordinances. Jesus has abolished the Ordinances of man and the Law. Eph 2:15

13 12 15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; Eph 2: For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. 12. AND ALL THE LAWS THEREOF: house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, (12) and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them. His Laws are now in our Hearts and written in our Minds. Heb 10:16 16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; His Royal Law is: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. James 2:8-9 8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: Those Pastors/Priests who have churches built by man, become a Respecter of Persons. Because their churches are built by man, they admire man and not God. James 2:8-9 9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. Those who are in the Perfect law of Liberty, are doers of the Work. (not word). James 1:25

14 13 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. 13. AND WRITE IT IN THEIR SIGHT: house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: (13) and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them. This Law of the House is to be written in plain sight of the Pastors/Priests of the churches built by man, who have become ashamed. This is so that they that read it will understand what the Lord wants for His Pastors/Priests in His New Church. The results will be, that if they Repent, and are truly Called of God as a Pastor/Priest, they will keep the whole Form of the House and all of the Ordinances of the House, and DO THEM! CONCLUSION: This IS the Law of the House! The results will be Holiness in the churches. Ezek 43:12 12 This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house. AMEN!
