COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE

by I Am Thomas

”Nicodemus saith unto Him, ‘How is a man able to be born, being old? Is he able into the womb of his mother a second time to enter, and to be born?’ “ (John 3:4; YLT)

  Nicodemus was applying the same thinking which many ’born-again’ believers may be using today…

Hi, I Am Thomas…NoDoubt you may have known me as Tommy Rheman, a naive child unable to comprehend the depths of depravity the mind of man is capable of. But this is not about me, Kaila. This is about Him and I must decrease while He must increase. *

…the lack of spiritual insight into the world’s woes. Selah – you will have to pause and consider those words by turning them over in your mind many times before you’ll be able to cleanse it of the dross it has accumulated from the years of formal education, not the least of which is the organized religious institutions, which we have named the “Church “. My challenge in presenting this to you is much like the dilemma a woman from the 60’s was faced with before going on a date - “which dress should I wear?” And the answer is the same: “short enough to be interesting, but long enough to cover the subject “. Perhaps it will benefit our understanding to apply the precept**, “The spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven. As is the earthy one, so also are those who are earthy; and, as is the heavenly one, so also are those who are heavenly. Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.” (1 Corinthians 15:46-49 NAS)

  We are admonished to “Take heed therefore how you hear, for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken, even that which he seemeth to have.” (Luke 8:18 21st Century King James). Do not gloss over that word, ‘how’ you hear, for therein lies the crux of what Jesus was saying. For contrast, imagine being a teenage boy in the early 60s, who somehow got caught watching the playboy channel when your mother bursting into your room, seeing what’s on the screen and shrieks, “how are you listening?“ The logical or sense -common to the time- would answer “with my ears!” However, the context of and the meaning behind the question entreats us to dig deeper. Likewise, when we hear with spiritual ears, we get a spiritual understanding of how we are to listen.

  To come out of the mindset of the world, is the deeper meaning behind his words, but could there be something of greater significance lurking within? Are we guilty of straining out a gnat while we swallow the camel? Think about this scripture,

  “…they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean. “Whom shall he teach knowledge? And whom shall he make to understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk and drawn from the breast. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, and there a little.” For with stammering lips and another tongue, will He speak to this people, to whom He said, “this is the rest herewith you may cause the weary to rest,“ and, “this is the refreshing”. Yet they would not hear. But the word of the Lord was to them precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, and there a little, that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken and snared and taken. “ (Isaiah 28:7-13 KJ21) “ Therefore, hear the word of the Lord, you arrogant men who rule this people who are in Jerusalem. “ (Isaiah 28:14 AMP)

   The precepts and lines spoken of are not the commandments of God, which He is referring to here, but the snares disguised as Commandments from God. To carry that thought a step further, what if we couple together that warning in Isaiah with the one in Revelations 18:4,

  “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, My people, so that you will not be a partner in her sins, and receive her plagues;… “. (Revelations 18:4 AMP)

For those of you unfamiliar with the “who“ is riding the beast depicted there, the short answer is the bride who has turned back to the world and its alternative system to God‘s kingdom on earth. She is the same woman described as “foolish virgins“ in the parable of the ten virgins Jesus spoke of in Matthew 25:1. And as for the beast she is riding, this is known today as the military, industrial, entertainment, medical, governmental, religious, educational, economic and banking system.

  No pay close attention to the word “partner “and think about how a partnership in business is made. A partnership means each partner is legally responsible for the business’s debts and actions, and is established through the signing of legal papers and documents to that effect. You may be asking yourself right now, how have we partnered with the beast? And when did I make that legal? Every contract you have signed created a partnership between you and each arm of the vast interconnected (MIC, etc.) complex beginning with the birth certificate, followed up by the social security contract, driver’s license, and every contract known as a bank check you have ever signed.

  We’ll explore these thoughts further in another episode of how the world turns tomorrow… Until then, Shalom!

  • ‘ he who has the bride is the groom; but the friend of the groom, who stands and listens to him, rejoices greatly, because of… he must increase, but I must decrease… “ (John 3:29-31)
  • ** precept: rule of personal conduct… Higher law, a principle that takes precedence over the laws of society, moral principle

All Creation Is Groaning

by I Am Thomas

Waiting for the revealing of the Sons of God, who are you and me, my beloved family of THE ONE WHO DIED AND GAVE HIMSELF UP FOR US ALL!

Good morning, the revealing is here: Now ask yourself what that scripture penned in Romans 8:22 can possibly mean? Have you ever wondered, like I have,

HOW CAN A WOODEN TABLE OR AN INANIMATE OBJECT POSSIBLY ‘GROAN’???

When I looked up the meaning of that word, it is the same word used of a woman ‘travailing’ or ‘groaning’ to give birth. That didn’t seem to illicit any new light upon my dilemma though. But as I kept digging deeper into the subject, God slowly began imparting revelation to me. The parturition of childbirth is a tearing, a ripping & an expanding from the confinement of the womb into the universe of possibilities. That revelation came to me after my own ‘cocoon’ experience of ‘The Boy With The Broken Brain’ had happened to me. 

‘THE MATRIX’, a movie most of us have seen or heard about, is the best picture-image of what that experience of childbirth must be like when Neo, the main character, experiences this ‘jacking-in’ back into the ‘matrix’, as it is described in the movie. There is so much symbolism in there of this experience of ‘groaning’ in childbirth and the flood of emotions and trauma passing through us all around us, igniting our senses in a panoply of feelings, sights & sounds through wave upon wave of echelons of patterns designed to distinguish this from the soupy mixture of chaotic formulaes into the coherent pattern of distinguable objects as the first words penned in the book of Genesis describes:

“In the beginning God created the heavens and earth, and the earth ‘became’ formless and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”

Now, for you Bereans of the Word, you’ll notice I’ve changed the word ‘became’ from its King James translation of ‘was’ as it is mis-translated in most, if not practically all Bible. That word ‘was’ is the metaphorical leaven that has messed up this whole earth and kept us in this matrix of lies surrounding our senses. We are admonished to ‘come out of her My people’ in the last book of the Bible. If you are not beginning to sense this dawning of the new day forming around you now, then close your eyes and imagine with me that you are a fish in the depths of the ocean. You’ve been born into the water-world, lived in it your entire life & know of nothing else than the matrix of water surrounding you, supporting you and supplying for your every need. Year after year while living in this water matrix, you’ve grown accustomed to it providing and fulfilling every passion and every desire you can imagine & as your elation elevates your spirit, you begin to rise higher and higher until you notice above you a formless movement of glittering sparkling objects dancing in the distance. As you get closer you notice this as a school of fish just like yourself, but they seem to have reached the edge of creation as they dart in and out of your existence that we know as water, into the unknown matrix above them. More excited than ever now, you race upwards toward the top, but then, out of nowhere, something breaks through that barrier of the matrices and violently brutalizes one of your newfound friends, mercilessly ripping him into pieces before your eyes. You’re shocked, traumatized and paralyzed!!! As you stare in disbelief, slowly absorbing this convulsive turn of events, your mind screaming at you telling you “RUN” HIDE!!! … but your heart is gently tugging at you beckoning you to intervene, to somehow help your friends. This syndrome has now become enshrined in our vernacular as the

‘FIGHT-OR-FLIGHT’ response, the ‘DO-OR-DIE’ mode.

I AM here today to tell you that is a lie…and that lie is the concomitant results in our senses which Adam and Eve first experienced in the Garden of Eden when they chose the tree of Knowledge of good & evil rather than the Tree of Life.

Let me take you back to that school of fish and imagine that you are one of those fish living amongst the hundreds and hundreds of others and you have only ever known a violent existence such as you’ve just witnessed and another ONE, just like yourself tries to tell you there is another world beyond your traumatized senses of good and evil. That world, HE says, the world beyond the ‘fight/flight’ ; ‘good/evil’ is only a ‘belief’ ; a ‘thought’ away from this lie of the matrix known as ‘good/evil’ that has morphed its way into the consciousness and enshrined itself as the defacto way of life they have known. 

That is the conundrum men and women are in today and as we are approaching the final culmination of events prophesied that must occur, we recognize this feeling of uncomfortableness in our spirits as we see, outside of ourselves that the animals are beginning to behave ever more strangely. This is that ‘groaning’ and sighing we are experiencing today.
