discuss a certain chapter that I believe that uh could use some further explaining to help people that Wonder whenever I make the statement that uh there's not one promise in the Bible for heaven to the believer if you followed our ministry for very long you know that one of our Cardinal teachings here is that we have been mistaught about the subject of Heaven We believe that heaven is coming to Earth that we're not flying away anywhere we don't (00:42) believe that the reward of the Overcomer is heaven we do believe that heaven will be here on the earth and that the Saints of Yahweh will rule over the Earth for a thousand years and then over the universe for all eternity the minute that I make such a statement people automatically want to take us to the Book of John chapter 14 so we're going to go there if you want to get your Bible let's go there and see what John chapter 14 means now you've heard this chapter at every funeral that you've ever been to um you've heard it in most gospel (01:29) songs Paul speaks about uh I go away to prepare a place for you and in my father's house or many mansions and so that scripture leads our minds to believe that indeed uh there are mansions in heaven waiting for the believer and that uh that's where we're going so if that's true then that totally contradicts contradicts our teaching that we're not going to heaven so if we take an honest look at chapter 14 of the book of St John and I'd like for you to get your Bible don't ever believe anything I teach because I'm a (02:13) man but let's do believe the word of Yahweh in its proper context so real quickly let's turn there one thing you're going to notice when you get to chapter 14 is that this chapter has absolutely zero to do with Heaven that's not even the context that is not even the setting of this conversation keep this in mind as we begin to read the entire context of this chapter is the infilling of the Holy Ghost it is in this chapter that yua is getting ready to bid his disciples goodbye and this is a very sad time in their life uh they believe that he was (03:08) going to restore the Kingdom of Israel and here he is telling them that he's going to depart so he is now going to comfort the disciples in this chapter he's going to give them a beloved promise in this chapter and that promise is not Manion in glory land matter of fact the word Mansions is not even in this chapter it is a gross mistranslation by the King James translators as we start at verse one the first thing he says is do not let your heart be troubled believe in God and believe also in me for in my father's house are many (03:58) mansions and if it were not so I would have told you I go to prepare a place for you you know that's great funeral sermon messages right there and you know if our carnal Minds just read it the way that it looks from the scripture then we would believe in mansions and Glory but the truth is verse two does not use the word mansions in the original in the original the the word there is dwelling places and in my father's house are many Dwelling Places not Mansions so let's perish the thought of a mansion right now that's simply not what it says now (04:44) let's deal with another phrase here in my father's house before I explain what that means do you know what the desire of the heart of Yahweh is do you have any idea his prom iial and primary desire oh it's the same as every father to have sons and by having Sons reproducing ourselves in those Sons I have three beautiful boys handsome young men wonderful children and all three of those boys carry my DNA they carry my name they are in fact reproductions of myself as long as they live I'll never die and so it is an inherent fact that fathers (05:39) desire to reproduce themselves in a family of sons so it is with the heavenly father he desires to reproduce himself his character his nature his name his identity His Image his likeness through a family of sons and this is what Yeshua has in mind Jesus when he makes this statement in my father's house are many Dwelling Places the word house here is not about a literal house or even a place called Heaven my father's house I'm sure you've heard of the House of David or the house of Windsor a house is the allegory that we use for a (06:35) family you know my family would be the house of V that's our family name and that is our house name well here's what Yeshua saiding I'm about to leave but in the father's family which you are members of because you are my disciples there are many Dwelling Places for the father not for you but for the father and if you'll begin to read this the way it's supposed to be read it will open up before your eyes so wonderfully so he says in the father's family there are many Dwelling Places now remember up until this time the father dwelled only (07:22) in the son y Yeshua Jesus Christ that was the dwelling place of God was in in the man Christ Jesus Yeshua hamashiach that was where the father dwelt fully in that body in that man the father dwelt there and there alone but this was not the plan of God this is not what he desired he did not desire to dwell in one son he desired to dwell in many sons he desired to dwell in a corporate body of sons uh a plethora of of children that would bear his Spirit would would would would be The Dwelling Places of his Spirit but this could not (08:15) happen these many Dwelling Places could not happen as long as the son the first son the elder brother was still on the earth as long as Yeshua was on the earth he would be the only Dwelling Place in the family of Yahweh you and I would not be Dwelling Places of his Spirit unless yua Jesus was to leave the Earth and make room or prepare a position for us to also be the dwelling place of Yahweh let's read it to prove this fact verse three he said if I go to prep prepare a place for you now that word place there (09:03) actually should be position because in verse two he says I'm leaving to prepare a position a dwelling to prepare you as a dwelling place for the father so verse three says and if I go to prepare a position for you in this family I will come again and receive you to myself and where I am there you will be also where was yua when he made that statement yua said I am in the father and the father is in me Hallelujah so he said the position that I now hold of being in the father you're going to hold that same position because (09:56) you are going to be in me because my spirit is going to be in you and so now you are in me I am in the father therefore the position I now hold as a Son of God you will now hold how awesome wow oh I just it's very late at night about midnight here if it was any earlier I promise you I would preach this because it's amazing to know the truth let's keep reading and I won't read all of this chapter but I'll just skip to some of the highlights um let's actually skip verse three you can read that later we'll skip on down (10:36) uh to verse number let's go to verse number uh eight Phillip said to him master show us the father and it will be enough for us Yeshua said to him have I been with you so long that and you have you not known who I am Phillip he who has seen me he has seen the father not because I the man the Flesh and the father but because the father is in me fully and I am revealing the nature the character and the Very Spirit the Holy Spirit of the father when you look at me you see the Lamb of God therefore you see God so he said uh continuing to read in verse 9 (11:37) he he said show us the father verse 10 do you not believe that I am in the father now listen closely remember we started this chapter with yua talking about positions in the father's family at this point he says in verse 10 I me alone am in the father this is how he was he was the representation of the father because he was in the father and then he says uh verse uh number 10 I am in the father and the father is in me notice he never said I'm the father he never said this flesh man is the father but rather the father is (12:28) in me I am a dwelling place for the father I alone am a dwelling place for the father to reside in this is the context of this whole chapter Dwelling Places for the father now let's read on verse 10 and the father is in me the words that I speak to you I do not speak from myself but the father who stays in me does his work believe me that I am in the father and the father is in me and if you don't believe me at least believe in the works that I do verse 12 truly truly I say to you he that Believes In Me The Works that I do he shall do also (13:25) and greater than these he shall do because because I'm getting out of the way in other words the position of the father being in me is allocated to me only right now but when I move out of the way when the son of man is glorified and I leave then everything that I have done and expressed and show what works did josua do he revealed the father he was the man estation of God he said every one of you are going to do the exact same thing these great works that I have done and when he says those works we immediately (14:09) think of miracles signs and wonders far be it from your mind to think that that's what he's referring to the work that he did was the preaching of the Gospel of the coming Kingdom of his father this was his work this is what he did he said now you need the Holy Spirit to do that work I'm moving out of the way he's coming and going to dwell in you let's keep reading and I'll try to hurry now we're going to skip uh verse 13 and 14 uh let's go to verse 15 he said if you love me guard my Commandments and I shall ask the father (14:52) and he shall give you another comforter to stay with you forever this is where the context comes in as to what he meant in verses 1 and two here is what he saiding I'm leaving but next is coming my spirit which is the holy spirit that lives in me he is coming now and he is going to put you in the same position that I'm in right now in the father let's keep reading verse 16 or verse 17 the spirit of Truth whom the world is unable to receive because it does not see him or know him but you know him how did they know the (15:42) spirit of Truth he says because he is with you meaning yua the spirit of Truth was in yua alone no one else it was in him but he's about to leave so that the Spirit of Truth can be poured out upon the congregation of Israel listen what he says but you will know him for he's now with you but he shall soon be in you he shall soon dwell in you in my father's family are many places that he desires to dwell but at this point he only dwells in me but when I move out of the way and go and prepare a position for you then he shall come and dwell in (16:34) each one of you listen what he says in verse number 18 I shall not leave you as orphans I am coming to you in other words the very Spirit of Christ was the spirit of the father and as he goes back to the Father the spirit that was in him the dwelling spirit of Yahweh will now rest upon all of the sons of God verse 19 yet a little while and the world will no longer see me but you will see me because I live and you shall live in that day you shall know that I am in my father and you in me and I'm in you here's what he says right now I'm the (17:29) only one that is in the father and I'm the only one that the father is in but that's all about to change if I go away if I get out of the way now many Dwelling Places are going to open up H Hallelujah and what the father desired from the beginning to have many sons many Dwelling Places a large family the reproductions of himself it's about to happen because I'm going away and then you are going to be in me and you are going to be in the father just like I am verse 21 he who possesses my Commandments and guards (18:13) them it is he that loves me I want to say this to you if you say that you love God but you're not a commandment keeper including the Sabbath day then according to yeshua's own words you don't don't love God you love religion you love your church but the Commandments there's 10 of them and here's what he said if you keep them that proves that you love me and he who loves me shall be loved of my father is't that interesting he just told you how to love him keep his Commandments and he just told you how to be loved by the father father keep the (19:00) Commandments and yet all these people out there say that we're bringing people back to the law because we're bringing them back to the Commandments oh brother and sister no we're not bringing you to the law we're bringing you to the lawgiver oh we're bringing you to Yahweh himself and his son yua that's where we're bringing you because he said here the only way you can get in the father is is to keep the Commandments and that's how the father gets into you and the next verse and he who loves me Will Be Loved by the father and I shall love (19:35) him and reveal myself to him verse number 23 Yeshua answered him if anyone loves me he will guard my word and my father shall love him and we shall come to we shall come to him and make our abode with him did you hear it our Abode our dwelling place with him who the Commandment Keepers remember yua was a commandment keeper and at that time he was the only one that had kept them perfectly but now the holy spirit's going to come and make you a commandment keeper and because of that the father and I are going to come and we are going (20:22) to make our jewelling place now in all of you it's such a beautiful story when you get the whole meaning of it verse 24 he who does not love me does not guard my Commandments and the word which you hear is not mine but the father's who sent me these words I have spoken to you while still with you but the helper the comper the Holy Spirit whom the father will send in my authority he shall teach you all and remind you of all that I said to you peace I leave with you my peace I give to you I do not give to you as the (21:06) world gives do not let your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid you heard that I said to you I'm going away and I'm coming to you a't that beautiful only Yahweh or yua can go away and come at the same time it's beautiful thing if you did love me you would have re re joice that I said I'm going to the father for my father is greater than I and now I have told you before it takes place that when it does take place You Shall Believe ladies and gentlemen there's not one part of that chapter about you floating off to mansions in (21:52) heaven but rather it is about you not letting your heart be troubled that's what he told the disciples it's so beautiful don't let your heart be troubled if you knew what was about to happen if you knew that you were about to be in the same position that I'm in yua the dwelling place of the father then you would bid me go away so that I could come again I hope that helps you understand John chapter 14 may God bless you thank you for all of the wonderful inboxes that I receive from around around the world from people
