This is not the first link on my site to James' Web Site. He
and I have seen many things alike even though we have not know each
other. He also has good insight in regard to Esau. I
have added emphasis to some key statements that spoke to me. Then
I give an added note at the end. |

Zion,
The City Of God
BY: James Cunningham E-Mail: harvestvision@tds.net
The Site of the physical Zion is a Mystery that goes back to the Days of
Melchizadek, King Of Salem. There, Abraham gave the Lord 1/10th of all
he possessed, and Melchizadek was it's High Priest. This High
Priest is perhaps the Founder of the Original Zion, and is equated with
Yahshua Himself, by the Apostle in our New Testament Book of Hebrews,
Chapter Seven.
King David, whose Kingdom is a direct type of Christ's Kingdom, captured
the Site from the Jebusites, who controlled both Zion and Mount
Moriah - the place where Isaac was figuratively offered up by his
Father Abraham; where Jesus Christ (Yahshua) died on the Cross
to save us from sin!
Across from Moriah was Mt. Zion, the City Of God whose beginning is
believed to have been within The Garden Of Eden, according to
Jewish Rabbis.
Nearby, David and Solomon prepared for and built a Temple "not made
with hands" inasmuch as a Workman's Hammer was not heard during the
entire construction, which continued non stop for Seven Years! 1 Kings
Chapter Six.
The City Of Zion was the object of a number of Psalms, written by David
and the Priestly Singers who followed. In these Psalms, Prophecies
are given, which speak of The Heavenly Zion, the City spoken of by the Apostle who
stated that Abraham "looked for a City...whose builder and Maker is
God." Hebrews 11:10. The True Zion is therefore a "HEAVENLY
CITY."
The Apostle Paul identifies The New Jerusalem as "The Mother
Of Us All," (Galations 4:26), while in the Book of
Revelation, we see the completed City descending from God out of Heaven
as "A Bride" for her Husband. Revelation 21:10. In
that same Verse, and from a distance, John beholds Jerusalem's
descent from "A GREAT AND HIGH MOUNTAIN" where he is
standing! John has been placed upon this Mountain by The Lord's Messenger.
Now, Jerusalem was considered The Holy City, but Mt. Zion was a
Special Place, a High Mountain, a Perfect Fortress above the
City, placed there by God. It had to be taken with Force
by David and His Men, for the Jebusites had taken possession of it.
Zion is The City Of Our God, the Habitation Of Holiness! Psalms 48:1.
The natural City of Zion became corrupted through sin, and was destroyed
by the Babylonians, again by the Romans, and many today seek to rebuild
the Site and to set a World Ruler on the Throne (the antichrist).
The Heavenly Mount Zion
Apart from the Church as it exists in Heavenly Places, is a "Great
and High Mountain" representing the Rulership of Kingdom
Authority. From there, John saw wonderful Mysteries unfold before his
eyes. It is this Kingdom Mountain of Authority, that Yahweh
calls us unto. It is Mt. Zion, the Mountain Of God. It is
not for just anyone to approach this High and Holy Mountain, but
for those refined by the Refiner's Fire, washed by The Fuller's Soap,
and brought forth out of The Mystery Babylon System of Religion,
Economics, and Politics, by the intervention and personal Invitation of
Yahshua (Jesus Christ). Indeed, this Holy Mountain is inaccessible,
except by Divine Power and Might at work within those who are
Called into this Place. No "tool" of man is to be brought
there, and no work of man will cause us to approach this Site! It
is by Invitation only and it is by ASCENSION in the Holy Spirit
that we are brought there!
Prepare for the death of the "soulish" old self (old man) and
"Believe" the Angel Messengers of this Last Day and Hour who
prepare the way before us to that Mountain. The works of the
soulish old man (flesh) must be laid aside as the soul enters into the
Instruction Rooms of the Kingdom, knocking down the idols of men's vain
(Religious) imaginations as we advance!
This is GROWTH in the Kingdom, and it comes by
"realization" that the New Man in Christ "already"
sits in Heavenly Places, sits in Zion, established upon that High and
Holy Hill, not by will of man, but of Him who calls us! (Ephesians
2:6)
Not by our own righteousness, or any fruit of our own doings,
but by reason of Him who has Ordained us in Himself and who has REVEALED
this unto us! This is "THE FINISHED WORK OF CHRIST" as it
pertains to the Born Again Spirit of the Sons Of God! It applies to
the Spirit Man, and by realizing this Ascension and Perfection in
Him, we can then APPLY this inner
Perfection to the Soul or Intellect! Few indeed are the
individuals who are entering in! Yet, this Man Child Company is sitting
in Zion Spiritually, and now we are entering into and realizing that
same perfection in the Soul! The same Holy Spirit that brings
us in Spirit into the Finished Work Of Christ, also leads us into
the Manifestation Of His Sonship, in the SOUL, and finally in the
Physical Realm!
When The Sons Of God find out who they are, when our MINDS
are enlightened by the Spirit within, LOOK OUT WORLD! The mighty
coming forth of the Sons of God will then be in manifestation!
In Mark Chapter nine, verses 1-9, the Transfiguration of
Christ is recorded. This Incident is a mystery to most
Christians, but it is commonly known that it relates to The Kingdom Of
God, and as the Scripture says, "WITH POWER" (VERSE 1).
Now, I want us to consider just WHEN this Event occurred.
It is BEFORE His Crucifixion, Death, Burial and
Resurrection! It stands out like some isolated incident, and
basically without explanation, yet it is known to speak of His
Kingdom Of Power! This Event is Prophetic in it's Last Hour Ministry
implications! The Holy Spirit will reveal this in fullness and soon!
Here, I am not trying to elaborate, but to whet the Spiritual appetites
of the Sons of God.
Next, WHO was allowed to witness this Event.
Peter, James and John who were the Inner Circle with Jesus
Christ. The other 9 Disciples did not witness this
Manifestation of Power and Glory! In fact, they were not on the
Mountain at all! They remained in the valley, struggling with
the demoniac! They were neither Called nor Invited
to this Mountain Top Experience.
They could not cast out the evil spirit, yet Christ immediately
delivered the boy from Satan's power (Verses 25-26).
Now, in this Chapter, we are seeing a contrast between two kinds of
Believers, two types of Christians, just as we witness today in the few
Churches where Christ is actually being followed, worshipped, and
emulated.
In the first Group, are the 9, no doubt sincere, full of love for God
and obedient; yet lacking in the Spiritual Qualities that the
other 3 possessed. Due to these Special Inner Qualities, Christ
"CALLED" them; (Peter, James and John) and "INVITED" them
to this Mountain Top Experience! This Supernatural Experience,
was more than a "Vision" even though it is called that. If
you can receive it, THIS WAS REALITY!
On this High and Holy Mountain, abiding in Almighty God, is found Moses,
Elijah, and the Glorified Christ! A Divine time warp has
occurred, wherein the Disciples receive a foretaste of the coming
Kingdom in it's Power and Glory! They have actually been transported
into Eternity for just a few brief moments! It is not just a
simple "Vision" but a true Reality in the Spirit of God.
Here, they Witness His Majesty and Glory. Here, they actually
"hear" the Voice of Almighty Yahweh, even as Moses and Elijah
once heard it upon the Mountain Of God! They have also heard and
SEEN the two Prophets (Witnesses) speaking of Christ's Coming Kingdom!
Think about it! The Riches of this Experience with very DEEP and
hidden meanings to be revealed within the Sons Of God in the Last
Hours of this Day!
Upon "the Mountain," is the Glory Cloud, wherein dwells the
Creator, robed in Holiness and Majesty, the Ark Of His
Covenant, and the Overshadowing Cherubim over The Mercy Seat!
These are present in this place, but unseen - not to be revealed except
in His Time. Yet, the VOICE OF GOD is clearly heard, The
Kingdom Mysteries are in open manifestation, and the Center of all
attention is Yahshua, in all His Glory, Power and Majesty!
YOU
ARE INVITED - COME ON UP!
Now
is the Time Of Invitation, the Calling Forth Of Sons Unto Glory!
One
cannot hear, neither can one accept this Invitation, unless his
Spiritual Man is prepared by God. Others will remain in
the valley, struggling with the needs of Ministry, but those Called and
Chosen of God will ascend The Holy Hill. They will go on up to the
Mountain Top with Him! In this Place, the Mysteries
of The Kingdom will flow forth into the Manifested Sons, and FROM this
Place will flow forth DELIVERANCE to a demonized world,
tossed to and fro in the throws of great tribulation!
These are the Sons of Power and Dominion, The Sons Of Light, The True
Sons Of The Kingdom! They are learning to experience Eternity's
Power and Mysteries in the here and NOW! These are the things
that are taught by the Spirit of God. They are not learned in a
Seminary, or taught by man. They that are "taught of
God" are receiving even now into their Spirits, the Glories of The
Kingdom in it's Power and Majesty! From the "INNER MOST
BEING" will flow forth, like "Rivers of Water" the
Kingdom in it's Fullness.
Just take a look at our Lord and Master, before His Death,
Burial, and Resurrection; THE MIRACLES, THE HEALINGS, THE TEACHINGS, THE
INTERCESSORY PRAYER, THE PROVISION, THE FULLNESS OF THE KINGDOM IN
MANIFESTATION, all for the benefit of His Covenant People. He did
not have to wait until He got to Heaven to operate in this Fullness
and Power - He was ALREADY in Heaven!! Read His Words in
John 3:13: ."...Even the Son Of Man which is IN Heaven."
Just as He did then, even so NOW, the Born Again Believer sits in
Heavenly Places IN HIM (Ephesians 2:6). Can YOU hear this?
Is this Mountain Top YOUR ABODE? Or are you just content to
remain in the valley and go through the "routine?"
YOU WILL KNOW IF THIS IS
WHERE YOU BELONG, and you will take "THE LEAP OF FAITH"
to enter in! Transported, not by the will of man, but by the Will
of YAHWEH, in fellowship with Angel Messengers, "ascending and
descending upon the Son Of Man." John 1:51. Christ our example has
ENTERED INTO THE HEAVENLIES FOR US, having paid the full price.
Seated with His Father upon His Throne, we sit with HIM.
It's about time we ascend in the realm of the Renewed
Soul, as well as the Called and Chosen Spirit Life. Are
you Called, are you Chosen; then His INVITATION IS THIS, "COME ON
UP TO MOUNT ZION, the City Of The Great King!"
"Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy
waterspouts (Psalm 42:7)"

James states above: "Apart from the Church as it exists in Heavenly Places, is a "Great
and High Mountain" representing the Rulership of Kingdom
Authority. . . . . . It is this Kingdom Mountain of Authority, that Yahweh
calls us unto. It is Mt. Zion, the Mountain Of God." This statement reminds me of a vision I once had, and relate in the article, "The Restoration of ALL Things." Quote:
In 1970, during an intense praise with two other men, I was given an
alarming vision. It was so
startling to me, that it has kept me going through hell and high water all of
these years to see it come to pass. This is what I saw:
This WAS the True Army of Jah, and I knew they would have to COME OUT of going THE WRONG WAY, the prophesied “Great falling away” produced by the Serpent’s Illusion from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil that was to come to pass in this day. And, in coming out, would have to be turned completely around by the entrance of Truth to go the right way.!! This was the “coming out”, and they would be greatly condemned by the one’s rebellious to the Truth who in their sociopathic denial mode, would not turn around. It
has been thoroughly proven to me this was a VISION
FROM
Jah, for oh how we have been led astray into the serpent’s illusion of
Babylon. All of the lies have
taken us the WRONG WAY, while
the Truth turns us around to go the
RIGHT WAY!!! All of this goes hand in hand with a prophecy written in 1679. If you have enjoyed the above, you might then also read this one. CLICK HERE |
