White raiment and a new name

[StewardoftheMystery]

Jesus said in Revelation 3:18 “18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see”

The gold tried in the fire is the faith of Christ, and the eyesalve is the anointing of the Holy Spirit. But I want to talk about the white raiment and the new name Jesus said would be given if we overcome, as both these are connected.

The shame of thy nakedness Jesus mentioned in the above verse is the exposure of one’s sins. We saw in Adam and Eve, that after sinning and eating of the tree of knowledge, they then saw their own nakedness and were ashamed. God then gave man a temporary covering of animal skins, but God had a more permanent solution in mind, that was to be revealed later.

Jesus said in
John 15:22
If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.”
In this we see it is the words of God that exposes sin, just as by the law of God came the knowledge of sin. We also see in Jesus’ words above that we need a covering for our sins.

In the law God gave us a shadow of things to come by using natural things to symbolize spiritual truths to be revealed later by His Spirit. God told Moses to make garments for those who were to minister in the priesthood. God said These garments were to be holy garments for glory and for beauty. God also said these garments were to cover the priests nakedness, so that they bear not their iniquity and die.

Before we go any further into understanding the meaning of the garment, let’s go to the prophecy of the new name, as they are both connected.

Isaiah 62
For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.”

This name is the name which Jesus said would be His new name, and that he would also write it upon those who overcome. And here is the name…
Jeremiah 23:6
In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord OurRighteousness.”

And here is the same name given to the saints of the Lord…
Jeremiah 33:16
In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord our righteousness.”

This is what Paul meant when he said put you on the Lord Jesus Christ, like a garment. This garment and name is shown here in
Revelation 19:8
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.”

When Jesus came preaching he said to seek the Lord and His righteousness. This is the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ that Paul spoke of, that is imputed to us as a gift if we believe. And the faith to believe is also a gift, as it is the faith of Christ.

Romans 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:”

Romans 5:17
For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.”

Philippians 1:11
11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.”

Philippians 3:9
9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:”

This is the imputed righteousness of God we receive when we are born again of Gods Holy Spirit. We are made righteous by our Maker.

2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
And if you have been made righteous by the faith of Christ, you will also walk in righteousness as did Jesus Christ.

1 John 2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

So put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Peace and God bless​

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God hath appeared to all men bringing salvation,
12 instructing us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present age;
13 awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a people for his possession, zealous of good works.

Christians never Cease to amaze me! Many act like they are the only one that can read their bible in this 21st century and that they are the only one that can read it. And they are the only one that have to teach other Christian’s and the “Parakletos” walk with them only and not other Christian’s. ! The Bible says in one place; Blesseth is he that reads or hears the things in this book,, then a Christian comes alone take it upon his own Initiative and Defy those very WORDS and try teach it! In complete “Rebellion” and begin leadings others into rebellion as well and the two has become Allie’s now two go out on missions making “disciples just like them. Teaching others to walk in total Rebellion as well and they do not know it, now they have create a whole Army of Rebellious Christians!
Marching across the whole world! Teaching others how to be rebellious Christian’s, And they spread this system also.

The time is here in full Bloom!

“the time will come when Christian’s will not endure sound doctrine”. BUT with Itching ears..ff.


The “WORD of GOD” says, I do not mean what The “Translation” says; But What The “WORD of GOD” says: Jesus said: MANY we come saying That I AM Truly is “The CHRIST But They will deceive MANY!

You have to be on your Guard For Satan will appear as “An Angel of LIGHT” and slip you A “ MICKY” in your Drink!

So JESUS has already told us! MY Sheep Hears MY VOICE and I Know Them and They Will Not Follow the Teachings of Another About ME! My Sheep they know ME! For mY FATHER will Teach Them by HIMSELF, HE DOES not need HELP! FOr HE is GOD their FATHER for HE will Not need another and commit HIS sheep into The Hands another!

You may teach The Goats, but not The Sheep, and don’t pull that Peter stuff! Today they have a Book in their own common language, and they know how to Read. And GOD, knows how to open their ears and their minds so they comprehend! He is good a Father! And HE Writes upon Their Hearts!

How do I know? For in 1977 He wrote on mine! And I experience A “Theophany”, and was Born of HIS SPIRIT, wash in HIS BLOOD, Born of GOD, Created in “CHRIST JESUS” a “New Creature” not of flesh nor The Will of man BUT of “GOD”! He Chose Me and did not choose HIM! “Now LORD, what will you have me to do”
“take up your cross and follow me! Come learn of me! And I been learning everyday , taught by My “GOD” “My LORD” My “ MASTER”!

So many want to bees and they make arguments like GOD need them to teach “”The Elect of GOD! Like he is to busy to teach everybody individually at one time, And many Thinks, He needs help! From a corrupted piece of Dirt to instruct another. Piece of Dirt!

Now do that tells you something? When a person thinks he have to explain what GOD your Father want you to know.

Now think real nice and easy now. Think real good now.

PS. You ain’t no “Goat”

And there is only “One GOOD SHEPHERD”” all the rest are hireling and “Goat Herders”

You choose who you will follow.
