Revelation 10 No. 8 August 2018 portions for the prince: and it shall be the holy oblation; and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof.” How many times does God repeat that? He is saying, do you get it? How many times does He mention the measurement? He is wanting somebody to get it. Of course, Israel will, but He is drilling this into their heads because He knows He is still dealing with a natural people. “Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince’s, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.” See? Everything to the sides of the city will be for the prince. You can see here Benjamin has changed places from the Old east side unto the west side, Testament times. Before he was on Simeon shall have a portion.” the north side of Judah, but in the See? Simeon is next to Benjamin Millennium he will be on the south now. Instead of next to Judah he is side. So God is going to give this next to Benjamin. “And by the land to Israel and it is going to be border of Simeon, from the east prosperous just like it was before the side unto the west side, Issachar a Dead Sea became dead.

But whenever the Millennium “Moreover from the possession of comes, there will not be that kind of the Levites.” God has a great pressure. Because God is going to remembrance. He remembers, why? be Father and Jesus Christ will be Why does He do this? He sees that Lord. He is our Lord because He is the hearts of these Levites are not our Saviour. We baptize in the name the same as in the hearts of the sons of Jesus Christ.

The Jesus Christ will not be Lord over spirit, the makeup of the spirit in the whole universe, He will be Lord these Levites, is different than the over the earth during the makeup of the spirit in these sons of Millennium time. Then it goes back Zadok, because of their love for the to the Father after that. So, we see things of God.

They will still be looking in the world today. I am looking at for it in the tribulation because they the coming of the Lord and the think the coming of the Lord is catching away of His Bride. There is going to be at the end of the much being said today on television tribulation. It will be, but that is not on this topic lately. They say the when he is coming for the Bride. We tribulation will come and go before have words that prove that. We the Bride leaves. They are looking at
