Buy and Sell

Many people today are buying and selling. This study is to align in our minds exactly what it is that is being bought and sold. If you don=t close your eyes to the flesh you will not see what the spiritual ramifications are, nor what the deeper meaning of this is. We know today there are many people that have something to sell and many that are in the market to buy. Question is what are they selling and what are the buying.

In order to understand this study you must think in chronological order.

Lets go to Proverbs chapter 23 this 23rd chapter is about personal character.

Proverbs 23:22 Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

The 5th commandment which is the 1st of the 5 civil commandments. Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. It is parents that are to lay a good foundation instructing their children in the way of God and sparing not correction.

Proverbs 23:23 BUY THE TRUTH, AND SELL IT NOT; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

Buy in the Hebrew is qanah it means to procure, especially by purchase; to own, or possess; it is used 84 times ( double probation + creation, this earth age). Sell in the Hebrew is makar it means to sell, litt.( As merchandise, a daughter in marriage, or into slavery); it is used 80 times ( double probation). That is 4 things(creation-this earth age) in which we should possess truth, wisdom, instruction, and understanding.

Proverbs 23:24 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.

Righteous in the Hebrew is tsaddiyq it means just it comes from the prim tsadaq just upright, which is were the name Zadok comes from. The father of the just shall rejoice that is the qualifier for the father to rejoice. Rejoice in the Hebrew is giyl it means to spin around ( under the influence of any violent emotion) usually rejoicing or cringing fear; it is used 44 times(probation + creation-this earth age.) Wise in the Hebrew is chakam which means to be wise ( intelligent, skillful,artful) it is used 137 times ( 100-children of the Promise + 37-The Word of God). Don=t look past those qualifiers.

Lets go to Matthew chapter 13 keep in mind what Christ was teaching in this chapter 13 the parable of the sower, and in the 38th verse he would tell us that the field is the world, the good seed is the children of the kingdom, but the tares are the children of the wicked one, which is the Kenites. Also keep in mind we are to possess-buy truth, wisdom, instruction and understanding.

Matthew 13:44 & Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

Kingdom-King and his dominion that is here on earth and heaven. We are told in Isaiah 33:6 is the reverence-fear of the Lord is his treasure. We know from Proverbs 9:10 that the fear-reverence of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. We are also told in 2 Corinthians 4:6-7 that this treasure is the light that shineth out of the darkness that shines in our hearts to give the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, and we have this treasure in earthen vessels which is the Holy Spirit which is the Spirit of Truth that guides us in truth. When one reveres the Lord he will part from the things of this world because he is not of this world, in order to depart from sin and obtain eternal life which is the eternity the 3rd earth age-world age.

Lets go to Rev. chapter 13 remember to think in chronological order.

Revelation 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

That is 6 different characteristics of all 6 being( manifestation of sin- weakness of man- evils of satan. Notice it says in the forehead your brain is in your forehead this simply means the mark is what you believe-worship, mark in the right hand the right hand is symbolic of power this means you are doing work for him to further Satan=s cause. Notice there is a colon at the end of the sentence which means what follows is a further elaboration to what has been said.

Revelation 13:17 And that no man might BUY OR SELL, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

At this time we are instructed to agree with our advesary in the way in order to not be brought before the judge and cast into prison Matt.5:25. We were likewise instructed to possess truth, wisdom, understanding and instruction and to sell it not.

Lets go to Matthew chapter 25

Matthew 25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

All ten virgins made it up to this point the twelfth hour which is the beginning of the 3rd watch which is called the cockcrowing. Bridegroom the return of our Lord and Savior Yashua.

Matthew 25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

Trimmed in the Greek is kosmeo it means to put things in proper order ;snuff a wick it is used 10times (testimony) In Matthew 12:44 it is translated garnished. Lamp in the Greek is lampas it is used 9times (judgment). Lamp being light that dispels all darkness, which is what the truth does. These 10 trimmed their wick to make their light shine brighter- they were preparing themselves.

Matthew 25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

Oil symbolic of the Truth that flows from the Holy Spirit. The 5 foolish virgins didn=t have enough truth in their lamps. We know from Rev. that 5 churches will not make it but their candlestick shall be snuffed out. Gone out in the Greek is sebennumi it means to extinguish; it is used 12times ( gov. perfection) We are instructed in 1 Thes. 5:19 not to quench the Spirit.

Matthew 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

Remember in Proverbs we are instructed to buy-possess truth and to sell it not, so these 5 that are wise are wise indeed. So we see these 5 foolish virgins are gone out to those that sell false doctrine. We know that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth that teaches us the truth, so what is the Spirit that they are gone to buy from? Nothing more than a cheap imitation that will give you a small amount of scripture and then turn the rest in a 180 degree angle which will point you going in the wrong direction and by the chronological order of things this would be those who have the mark, and the number of the beast that are doing the selling. By this time we should have enough truth-whole armor of God on and in place to quench-put out the fiery darts of Satan- it is to late to possess the truth.

Lets go to Luke chapter 19 lets pick it up in the 37th verse to synchronize our watches.

Luke 19:37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

We know from Zech. 14:4 that Christ shall at his return stand upon the Mount of Olives. Likewise we know from Rev. 15:2 & 3 that those that had gotten victory over the mark, and over the number of his name, stand on a sea of glass, having the harps of God, Singing the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb, saying Great and marvelous are thy works. Mighty works here in the Greek is dunamis miraculous power the word that are English word dynamite comes from. Notice the tense in which this is said in they had seen that is past tense.

Luke 19:38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

We know at the return of Christ his 2nd advent he is no longer a babe but riding a white steed and has a rod of iron and is called the KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS Rev. 19

Lets go to Matthew 21 to see the same account of this and the end thereof.

Matthew 21:12 & And Jesus went into the temple of God, and CAST OUT ALL THEM THAT SOLD AND BOUGHT in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the SEATS OF THEM THAT SOLD DOVES,

We see that the 5 foolish virgins went to the temple to these here that Christ is casting out. Here it gives us a good look at what they were selling, Doves- that, that is symbolic of the Holy Spirit the Spirit of Truth. However though these were pedaling fake religion false doctrine a Familiar spirit.

Matthew 21:13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Were is this written? Isa 56:7 which is speaking of the gathering of God=s children at the return of Christ.

Lets go one more place to conclude this study Rev chapter 18

Revelation 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

We know from Rev. 19 that Satan is locked away for a 1,000 years which is the Lord=s day a time of teaching, those teaching during that time will not be pedaling any familiar spirits or false doctrine it will be strictly the Word of God.

Revelation 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for THY MERCHANTS WERE THE GREAT MEN OF THE EARTH; FOR BY THY SORCERIES WERE ALL NATIONS DECEIVED.
