FISH GATE & OLD GATE

SEPTEMBER 22, 2011

Today is the 23rd of Elul, the 6th month on the sacred Calendar. We would like to acknowledge and thank those that responded and acted in faith regarding the prophetic vision Eye saw September 18. There is no doubt in my mind that you have triggered the supernatural to manifest on your behalf as a result of believing the word of the prophet. "Believe in his prophets and you shall prosper." 2 Chronicles 20:20 We will soon feature testimonials that have already come in validating what was released.

We are (1) day from the Fall Equinox (September 23) and the Sun moving into Libra. This is our next major shift as we cross over to enter into a "time in between time". Then September 24-26 and the few days there will be another shift. So from sunset today, September 22-September 30 New Moon, we will be in a series of energetic shifts on the planet. Major world events will be captivating news headlines.

We studied some of the prophetic clues of Nehemiah's 12 Gates that he was assigned to restore. The work took him 52 days and he finished Elul 25. The 52 days are a metaphor for 52 weeks, one year, a 360 degree cycle based on the biblical Calendar. The 12 Gates represent 12 experiences we must have on the path of spirituality. Yesterday we repaired the Sheep Gate and found out that it represents a life of Sacrifice and Freedom from Guilt (sin). We should point out the each level of consciousness lesson is in (2) parts; what may appear as positive and negative. Many may view sacrifice as a challenge or something negative.

FISH GATE

We can not say with 100% certainty that each soul will cycle in the exact order the Gates are restored in the Book of Nehemiah. However, we can say, that for all the first level of consciousness must be the Sheep Gate. One must behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. In the manner the revelation comes may be different from another, but the results will be the same.

The 2nd level of consciousness is the Fish Gate. In the literal sense, this is the gate that merchants brought fish through to the fish market into Jerusalem. Keep in mind that each of the 12 gates brings one into Jerusalem. Jerusalem means Place or city of Peace. We know that the modern Jerusalem is everything but that, therefore, we know it speaks of a metaphysical state that actually dwells within. It is the New Jerusalem from above, a higher consciousness.

The Fish Gate was one of the main entrances into Jerusalem, it was familiar and filled with a lot of noise. In this level of consciousness there will be many times the Disciple must deal with the external and internal voices competing for attention. There will be many things to distract you from your purpose and goal, it is imperative that you stay focused.

The fish is a symbol of blessings, multiplication and abundance. Jesus told his disciples he would make them fishers of men. This represented the great number of people that would be converted through their message. This is the level of consciousness where one sees the need to impart living words of hope and deliverance to others. This is how the soul is watered and refreshed during this cycle. Sharing your experience empowers you and releases the power to overcome circumstance. One of the key words for the 2nd level of consciousness is Multiplication.

In John 21, Jesus performs a miracle after his resurrection. His apostle miraculous immediately catches 153 fishes at His command. One might wonder, why would they take time to count the fish and why is that important. It is that it was not just the153 fishes, that was so fascinating, these were experienced fishermen. It was 153 kinds of fishes that so amazed the apostles to the point that this was recorded. What does that mean? The Judean (Jews) had perceived that God was Only interested in them and others were just animals not worthy of salvation/enlightenment. The miracle of the 153 different kinds of fishes represented all of humanity- every race, color, religion and culture. They would all be brought through the Fish Gate into a New Jerusalem experience. Plus, the reversed gematria of 153 = Sons of God.

WHO BUILT THE FISH GATE

"But the fish gate did the sons of Hassenaah build, who [also] laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof. And next unto them repaired Meremoth the son of Urijah, the son of Koz. And next unto them repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabeel. And next unto them repaired Zadok the son of Baana." Nehemiah 3:3

The sons of Hassenaah. Hassenaah means thorns, thorny, to pierce. Koz means a thorn and briers. Baana means afflictions. Each of the names give deep prophetic clues to this cycle of the soul's purification on the path to expressing divinity. The sons of Hassenaah were the main builders. We have further confirmation through other definitions of names the most important hidden message. The second key word is Affliction. In a very unique way blessing (Berechiah) and multiplication seem to follow a time of affliction or persecution, this is what the thorn and briers symbolize.

PISCES THE FISHES

The astrological aspect of the Fish Gate is the Zodiac sign of Pisces (Fishes). Pisces is the last sign on the Zodiac map, it correlates with the Feet of the body. (Yesterday we saw the first sign correlating with the head of the body in the Sheep Gate). The Fish Gate of Pisces deal with our walk. After one understand the principle of sacrifice and grace that frees us, he must walk in the path of righteousness.

Walk softly and circumspectly, using the word to be a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path.

Allow this phrase to be your affirmation: I AM MULTIPLIED & BLESSED THROUGH MY TEMPORARY AFFLICTIONS.

THE OLD GATE or JESHANAH GATE

The 3rd level of consciousness in the cycle of the soul brings us to the Old Gate. The word "old" in Hebrew is Jeshanah. There was a literal Gate called Jeshanah or the Old Gate. This was where the elders gather daily to discuss issues, hear the complains and solve the problems of the people. All the things that appear as problems are resolved within the soul at this level of consciousness.

This is the level of consciousness that brings us to the Wonderful Counselor within the soul. All the elders and guardians of many lives can be summoned to speak the secrets of the kingdom within. They are here at this gate, this portal of the soul. The elders must gather to give you insight and foresight, whether in your awaken state or unconscious state of dreams; they will speak. They will appear in different forms, some as your deceased relatives, people you have never seen, other versions of you and even as animals communicating with you. This is where divine and ancient wisdom is revealed. This wisdom is necessary for the soul's long journey to full restoration.

One of the key words to this level of consciousness is Guidance. The divine help of Guidance appears when the old man (old nature, old paradigm =ego) is considered dead. Guidance may come forth as the Holy Spirit, spirit guides, angels and even nature spirits.

OLD GATE REPAIRERS

"Moreover the old gate repaired Jehoiada the son of Paseah, and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah; they laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors thereof, and the locks thereof, and the bars thereof." Nehemiah 3:6

Lets look at some of the main builders of the Old Gate. Jehoiada means God knows, the knowledge of God. Paseah means one that is lame or limping (someone needing help walking). Meshullam means a friend. Besodeiah means with the counsel of the LORD, the secrets of the LORD. (All of these definitions can be verified with the Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Hebrew & Greek languages of the Bible).

Using the definitions of these names, we find a hidden message of encouragement the Creator is relating to us: God knows when your spiritual walk becomes a limp. He is your friend. If you seek the counsel of the LORD and He will reveal His secrets.

There are many other names associated with the restoring of the 3rd level of consciousness that time will not allow in this blog. Study Nehemiah 3:7-12

ANCIENT PATHS

I am reminiscent of the voices of my Native American (Indian) Elders many moons ago, while sitting in the sacred circle and passing the "Talking Stick". The talking stick is used in ceremonies when the elders gathers and as a courtesy to not interrupt anyone. It is also used in other gatherings to discuss and share. Only the person holding the talking stick could speak. My grandmother was part Native American, she always told me; "the old path is the best way." I did not fully understand what she meant until much later in life.

The Lord said to his people: "You are standing at the crossroads. So consider your path. Ask where the old, reliable paths are. Ask where the path is that leads to blessing and follow it. If you do, you will find rest for your souls. But they said, "We will not follow it!" Jeremiah 6:16

There were ancients keys of knowledge and wisdom dispensed that brought humans in balance with nature and the universe. Much of this wisdom became forbidden as the Crusades spread into all the world destroying the old paths and elders. While experiencing the 3rd level of consciousness, unknown desires may emerge that somehow link back to Indigenous types of spirituality. These may be paths that you have no conscious connections to, however, on much subtle energetic and genetics levels they might summon you. In the scripture above, the people had moved from spirituality to dead religious works. The Spirit was encouraging them to Return, as the month Elul represents. The people outright rejected true spirituality (the Old Gate) and chose religion. "Is there anything new under the Sun?"

Humanity is standing at the crossroads and contemporary religion has very little to offer. Yes, they have become masters at marketing, entertainment and attracting huge crowds. They know all the psychological trigger words to arouse the emotions, tickle the ear and rob you blind while smiling in your face. They have polished orators skills and their empty words are smoother than butter. Yet, the near comatose masses are drawn by the hypnotic sounds week after week; only to leave empty and on the verge of spiritual death by starvation. "You are standing at the crossroads, so consider your path" the Prophet Jeremiah is yet shouting.

Many have lost their way trying to follow the contemporary fabricated religions of Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Each of these religions have moved very far from the true path of the ancient leaders, Jesus, Mohammed and Moses. We are not talking about returning to man-made "old time religion". We are talking about the true paths of spirituality that existed before they became a religion. This is the path of the soul and experience of the Old Gate.

The next key word for the Old Gate is Contention. At the Old Gate the people gathered daily to argue and eventually fine resolution. We must get rid of the old man that's filled with contention and look for the old ways and walk therein. Don't allow a limp to keep you off the path, it will heal as your start to move forward. Don't just sit there complaining and die- Get Moving!!

Let this be your affirmation: I ACCEPT MY GUIDANCE TO LEAD ME OUT OF ALL CONTENTION
