Q> We need more information on the two Covenants, and how
David Koresh could be savior? We thought the power of salvation
is in the fact of the savior never sinning and coming under the
condemnation of the torah. If such a person was killed or died,
THEN he would receive the key of life having never deserved to die.

A>
There are two Covenants: the old (first) and the new (second).
The first covenant contained ordinances which required God’s people to
physically perform. The first covenant (testament) is the physical covenant
as compared with the new covenant which is a spiritual covenant. The
spiritual new covenant requires followers of God to apply the old physical
covenant in a spiritual sense. The new covenant is the mirror spiritual image
of the old physical covenant. The people who are under the new covenant
(which began after the death of Christ 2,000 years ago) must still perform
all the ordinances of the old covenant, except in a spiritual (new covenant)
way.

All the ordinances which were performed by the people of God during the
old covenant period (Adam to Christ) pointed to the coming Messiah of 2,000
years ago who brought an end to the old covenant. The Christ of 2,000 years
ago died for those who were under the first covenant by being the human
sacrifice on behalf of those who were physically keeping the ordinances of
sacrifices. After the death of Christ 2,000 years ago, the new covenant was
enacted for the people of God to spiritually perform. At the end of time the
Man-child came to reveal the Seven Seals Scroll and thereafter became a
sacrifice for the people of God who kept the new covenant.

There are two Covenants, there must also be two sacrifices of the Messiah.
The sacrifice of John the Baptist and Christ 2,000 years ago, brought an end
to the old covenant. The sacrifice of the latter day Lamb (Man-child) and the
Chosen Vessel brings the end conclusion to the new covenant. Logic alone
would show this makes sense. However, all things must be found in the
scriptures of Biblical prophecy.

Heb.9:15
And for this cause (the sacrifice of Christ) he (Christ) is the MEDIATOR
(intercedes spiritually for the sinner; no more need of physical sacrifices)
of the NEW TESTAMENT (second spiritual covenant), that by means of
death
(human sacrifice), for the REDEMPTION (salvation) of the
TRANSGRESSIONS
(sins) that were under the FIRST TESTAMENT
(the old physical sacrifices and ordinances),
they (people who performed
literal sacrifices from Adam to Christ)
which are called might receive
the promise of eternal inheritance.

In Heb.9:15 it states that Christ is mediating for the New Testament (new
spiritual covenant). Therefore those under the new covenant do not need to
keep the physical sacrificial ordinances but the spiritual sacrificial ordinances.
It states in Heb.9:15 that Christ of 2,000 years ago had died for those who
were under the first (old) covenant. The spirit of Christ was manifested in the
latter days to be a sacrifice for those under the new spiritual covenant.

Heb.9:16
For where a TESTAMENT is (there are two: Old and New Testament),
there must also of necessity be the DEATH (sacrifice) of the testator
(there needs to be two deaths for two Covenants).

Heb.9:17
For a testament is of force (strength) after men are dead (two sacrifices): otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

In Heb.9:16 it states that if there are TWO Testaments (Covenants) then there
needs to be a death for each testament. In Heb.9:17 it states that a covenant is
of no strength until the savior dies for that testament. Christ of 2,000 years ago
only died for those under the first (old) physical covenant according to Heb.9:15,
and thereafter resurrected and had been mediating for those under the new
(second) testament (covenant). The new covenant is of no strength until the
spirit of Michael (Christ) was manifested in the latter days, as the Man-child of
Rev.12:5, to die for those under the new spiritual covenant.

Heb.9:28
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of MANY (not all; those under
the first covenant only);
and unto them (Christians) that look for him
(according to the book of Revelation)
shall he (spirit of Christ) appear
(as the Man-child of Rev.12:5)
the SECOND TIME (the Man-child is born
to fulfill the new covenant)
without sin (without sin according to the
spiritual law of prophecy)
unto salvation (the Man-child redeems the
sinners who are under the new covenant).

There was always meant to be two sacrifices of Christ according to the two
Testaments (Covenants). The Apostle John on the isle of Patmos wrote the
book of Revelation in A.D.90. Christ was killed in A.D.30 being 33½ years
of age. In Rev.4:1, John was told to write the things that were to take place
after (hereafter) A.D.90.

Everything that is written in the book of Revelation from chapter four to
chapter twenty-two is of the future from A.D.90. With this in mind the birth
of the Man-child in Rev.12:5 refers to the latter day Lamb who fulfills the
New Testament prophecies with his Bride.

The following verses refer to Melchizedek who has within him the same spirit
of the Christ of 2,000 years ago. The spirit of Michael is the same spirit which
was within Melchizedek, and Christ of 2,000 years ago, as well as the latter
day Lamb.

Heb.7:1
For this Melchizedek (High Priest, having the spirit of Michael), king of
Salem, priest
(High Priest) of the most high God, who met Abraham
returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

Heb.7:2
To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by
interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of
Salem, which is, King of peace;

Heb.7:3
Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither
beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of
God; abideth a priest continually.

Michael (Christ) who sits upon the throne, had manifested himself in
Melchizedek by raising up a body from the dust of the ground for his
(Michael’s) spirit to dwell in. The experience of Michael’s spirit within
the perfect body of Melchizedek was very limited. Melchizedek was not
born from an earthly mother and father as stated in Heb.7:3, therefore
the spirit of Michael within Melchizedek could not experience temptation
or experience birth and death.

Melchizedek was the sinless experience for the spirit of Michael. Once the
experience of Michael’s spirit within Melchizedek was achieved (limited
as it was) the human body of Melchizedek immediately transformed to
dust as the spirit of Michael returned to its Angelic body which sits upon
the throne.

At the appointed time the spirit of Michael was manifested in a body which
was born from a virgin woman without the seed of man. The Christ of 2,000
years ago had within him the spirit of Michael. Christ being born of an earthly
virgin woman and not of an earthly man, meant he was half God and half
human in his flesh. Christ could only be tempted to sin, but he could not sin.
The experience of temptation and of being born, made the spirit of Michael
a better mediator for the lost sinner. After the death and resurrection of Christ
2,000 years ago, his spirit returned to the Angelic body of Michael and his
human body dissipated into atoms on its ascension from the earth. The
following verses refer to the Christ of 2,000 years ago.

Is.7:14
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a VIRGIN
shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Lk.1:31
And, behold, thou (Mary) shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a
son, and shalt call his name JESUS
(Yeshua; Joshua).

Lk.1:34
Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know
not a man?

Heb.4:15
For we have not an high priest (Michael) which cannot be touched
with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points TEMPTED
like as we are, yet WITHOUT SIN
(could not experience sin).

Melchizedek could not be tempted in sin because he was not born from an
earthly mother or father.

The Christ of 2,000 years ago could be tempted to sin because he was born
from an earthly mother though no earthly father. Yet Christ could not commit
sin, firstly because Christ was the written Word made flesh, and secondly
Christ was not fully human, therefore he had complete control of his physical
being while being tempted. The spirit of Michael dwelt within Christ and
accomplished the things written of him in prophecy, see Jn.5:19; Mk.14:21.

Melchizedek did not die for anybody. When Christ 2,000 years ago was
sacrificed upon the cross, this fulfilled the sacrifice for the salvation of those
under the first (old) covenant only. The Christians who were supposed to
be waiting for the manifestation of the latter day Lamb, would receive
salvation from the Man-child as stated in Heb.9:28. The book of Revelation
that was written by the Apostle John is called "THE REVELATION" of
JESUS CHRIST. This means that the last book of the Bible will reveal
Christ in the future of John’s day (A.D.90).

If there is no literal human manifestation of the latter day Lamb (Man-child
of Rev.12:5), then the book of Revelation was a pointless endeavor.

The spirit of Michael was manifested within an earthen vessel (human body)
in the latter days, which was born from an earthly mother and father. The
latter day Man-child of Rev.12:5 is born like any other person under the
curse of sin. The Man-child has the spirit of Michael within him, thereby will
experience the temptations and sins just like any other person. Surely God
cannot judge a person unless God has personally experienced the weaknesses
of humans. The latter day Man-child was manifested according to scripture
that God may judge clearly. The following verses refer to the latter day
Lamb (Man-child).

Ps.51:4
Against thee (God), thee only, have I (Man-child; latter day David of
Hos.3:5)
sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that THOU (God)
mightest be JUSTIFIED when THOU (God) SPEAKEST, and be clear
when THOU
(God) JUDGEST.

Ps.40:3
And he (God) hath put a NEW SONG (Seven Seals Scroll: Song of the
Lamb, see Rev.15:3)
in my (Man-child) mouth, even praise unto our
God: many shall see it
(Song of the Lamb), and fear, and shall trust
in the LORD.

Ps.40:7
Then said I (Man-child), Lo, I come: in the VOLUME (all prophecies)
of the book (scroll) it is written (Word made flesh) of me (Man-child of
Rev.12:5).

Ps.40:12
For innumerable evils have compassed me (Man-child) about: mine
(latter day Lamb)
INIQUITIES (sins) have taken hold upon me, so
that I am not able to look up
(experiences the guilt of sin as all
humans have, which causes him to be ashamed and not want to
look up to God’s throne);
they (sins) are more than the hairs of
mine
(Man-child’s) head: therefore my heart faileth me (feels lost).

The latter day Lamb (Man-child) having sins more than the hairs of his head,
is for the reason that Michael may judge clearly. The spirit within the latter
day Lamb is the spirit of Michael, being the same spirit which was in Christ
and Melchizedek. Now through the experiences of the latter day Lamb,
Michael will receive the experience of the Lamb when the Man-child’s spirit
awakens within the Angelic body of Michael who sits on the throne.

The latter day Lamb being a sinner in the flesh does not excuse those who
follow Present Truth to lower the standard of righteousness. On the contrary,
those who follow Present Truth must uphold the Truth in a manner fitting to
the requirements of God’s revealed Word. This means that one must be wise
as serpents and harmless as doves, in all their day to day activity in the land
of confusion. The Kingdom of God does not condone foolishness and frivolity.
The advancement of Present Truth, to those who have an ear (interest), is to
be done wisely and peacefully, with a contrite heart and mind.


First (old) Physical Covenant
In the old covenant, God commanded the males of the people to

spiritual unclean (abomination) foods: being other biblical interpretations
(unclean foods) which are not the Seven Seals Revelation (clean food: Hidden
Manna),
see Is.65:3,4; Eze.4:12-14.

First (old) Physical Covenant
In the old covenant, the people of God placed a mark (seal) of blood
upon the door post and lintel of their house as commanded, see Ex.12:22.

Second (new) Spiritual Covenant
In the new covenant, the people of God place the spiritual mark (seal)

during the three and a half days (see Rev.11:11) in the spiritual dreamworld.
The prophecies of the Seven Seals Scroll is replayed in every generation for
the past dead, see Rev.9:14-16.

First (old) Physical Covenant
In the old covenant, when a person sinned a sin not punishable by death,
then that person would offer an unblemished sacrifice to cover his sin that
was committed against God’s Word of Law.

Second (new) Spiritual Covenant
In the new covenant, when a follower of Present Truth sins (except the sin
against Present Truth/Holy Ghost, see Mt.12:31)
the mediating of the
unblemished Christ provides a spiritual sacrifice on behalf of the sinner.

First (old) Physical Covenant
In the old covenant, there were two goats offered on the day of atonement
to atone for sin, see Lev.16:5,8.

Second (new) Spiritual Covenant
In the new covenant, the two goats represent the latter day Lamb and
the Chosen Vessel who are written on each side of the Seven Seals
Scroll to cleanse the sins committed during the new covenant period
at the Sixth Seal (day of atonement).

First (old) Physical Covenant
In the old covenant, one goat was sacrificed upon the altar for a sin
offering, see Lev.16:9.

Rev.12:6,14)
are in the spiritual wilderness, eating the spiritual Manna.
The Chosen Vessel and the Remaining Bride bear the sins of the Firstfruits
who are born in the spiritual wilderness. Thereafter the woman (scapegoat)
is devoured by the Babylonian Beast, see Rev.11:7; 12:15.

First (old) Physical Covenant
In the old covenant, all the pardonable sins that were committed during
the year were covered by the unblemished physical sacrifices.

Second (new) Spiritual Covenant
In the new covenant, all the pardonable sins that are committed during
the new covenant period are covered by the mediating spiritual sacrifice
of the unblemished Christ of 2,000 years ago.

covenant period are fully cleansed on the spiritual day of atonement,
being the Sixth Seal (great and dreadful day of God’s wrath) which cleanses
the spiritual sanctuary (minds) of the Great Multitude, see Dan.8:14.


The Seven Seals Revelation is the wine (doctrine) of astonishment,
see Ps.60:3. The spirit of Michael was dwelling in the latter day Lamb
to experience temptation and also sin. There are many in Christendom
who judge with their eyes instead of the Word of God (thus saith the
Lord). Therefore they have an attitude of believing they are holier than
the Man-child because he (Lamb) claims to be the spirit of Christ
(Michael) yet being a sinner.

Is.65:5
Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than
thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.

There be many who could not bear the thought that Michael could dwell in
a body of sin to experience sin on behalf of the sinner. The latter day Lamb
was a true stumbling block to Christians. The latter day Lamb reveals the
characters of those who are offended against God’s Word made flesh.

Is.8:14
And he (Man-child) shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling
and for a rock of OFFENCE to both the houses of Israel
(European and
other Christian nations),
for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of
Jerusalem
(capital of the Great Christian Nation).

The Man-child who revealed the Seven Seals Scroll came born like any
other person as prophesied in scripture. The Man-child was to see his seed
(children), as the scripture reveals the latter day Man-child having physical
children.

Is.8:18
Behold, I (Man-child) and the children whom the LORD hath given me
are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which
dwelleth in mount Zion.

Ps.89:35
Once have I (God) sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David
(latter day David, see Hos.3:5).

Ps.89:36
His (latter day David: Man-child) seed (children) shall endure for ever
(the spirits within his children are those same spirits which dwell in the
righteous Angels),
and his (Michael: Man-child) throne (in heaven, see
Rev.4:2)
as the sun before me.

Is.53:10
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him (Man-child); he hath put him to
grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he
(Man-child)
shall see his seed (physical children), he shall prolong his days, and the
pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

The latter day Man-child is the spirit of Michael placed into a human body
born from a man and a woman. The latter day Lamb fulfilled the scriptures
which applied to himself. Therefore the Man-child (Lamb) is sinless in spirit;
though in his flesh he was a sinner as required by the prophetic Word of God.
If you fulfill God’s revealed Word, no matter how it is perceived by rebellious
humans, this shows that you have a righteous spirit within you.

Many prophets of the past were commanded by God to do things contrary to
the old law. Present Truth means that God may require you to do things which
God had previously not required, see Eccl.3:1-8. The Israelites crossed the
river Jordan to possess Canaan (Promised Land). God instructed the Israelites
to kill everyone (women, children, men, cattle) in Jericho, even though the sixth
commandment says, thou shall not kill, see Josh.6:21.

The riddle of Samson was found out by his companions at his wedding,
therefore Samson had to provide them with thirty sheets and thirty change
of garments. One would think that Samson would buy or trade to acquire
the garments to give his companions. Instead the spirit of the Lord helped
Samson slay thirty men for their garments, see Judg.14:19.

King Saul of Israel required one hundred foreskins of the Philistines in
exchange for the marriage to Saul’s daughter Michal. David, the man
after God’s own heart, slew two hundred Philistines and cut their penises
off and presented them before king Saul, see 1Sam.18:25-27.

Jacob who acquired the birthright from Esau, deceived his father Isaac to
obtain the blessing meant for the firstborn. God had no objections to Jacob
deceiving his father (Isaac) to obtain his blessing, see Gen.27:19-29.

Pharaoh of Egypt commanded the Hebrew midwives to kill all the male
babies. The midwives did not do as Pharaoh commanded, and when
Pharaoh inquired why they had not done as he asked, the midwives
deceived Pharaoh by saying the Hebrew mothers were lively (awake)
even after giving birth. God was pleased that the midwives lied unto
Pharaoh, because the midwives feared the Lord, see Ex.1:15-22.

The prophet Hosea was told to marry a whore, and thereafter to also marry
an adulteress who was being sold to the highest bidder, see Hos.1:2; 3:1-3.
God’s ways are not as our ways, for God uses the seemingly foolish things
to confound the so-called wise. To judge someone according to how things
outwardly appear can be disastrous. Out of the mouth of two or three
prophets who wrote the Word of God, shall all things be tested. None of
the wicked understand because they do not have an ear to hear what the
spirit says.

Those who accept the Seven Seals Revelation will be killed (spiritual or
physical) by those who think they are doing God’s work, see Jn.16:2. The
people who are made wise by the Seven Seals Revelation shall be hated by
those (their brethren) who reject it. Many Christians in the name of Jesus
hate the latter day Lamb and those who follow the Seven Seals Revelation.

Is.66:5
Hear the word (Present Truth) of the LORD, ye (believers of the Seven
Seals)
that tremble at his word; YOUR BRETHREN that HATED you,
that CAST YOU OUT for my
(Christ) name's sake, said (the rebellious
say),
Let the LORD be glorified: but he (Christ) shall appear to your joy,
and they
(rebellious) shall be ashamed.

Mt.24:9
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill (Fifth Seal)
you: and ye (followers of Present Truth) shall be hated of all nations for
my name's
(latter day Cyrus) sake.

Mt.24:10
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another,
and shall hate one another.

Mt.24:11
And many false prophets (teachers; preachers; prophets in Christendom
without the knowledge of the Seven Seals Scroll)
shall rise, and shall
deceive many
(most Christians besides the elect, shall be deceived).

It is evident that the adversary of Present Truth inspires individuals to speak
falsely against those who understand the Hidden Manna (Seven Seals Scroll).
All manner of evils shall be spoken against the New Light from God’s Word,
because these are people filled with an unholy spirit who turn many away
from the path of salvation.

Mt.5:11
Blessed are ye (followers of Present Truth), when men shall revile you,
and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely,
for my sake.

Mt.5:12
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for
so persecuted they
(rebellious) the prophets (writers of biblical scripture)
which were before you.


Do the Ten Commandments still apply?
