The spiritual image of a person or angels can be manipulated into different function and usages depending on the believe and faith someone has already developed on the original person during his life time on earth and his past action and character. The caved image does not speak, sees and walk but the spirit behind the image sees more than as you can see and also speaks and walk as you do.
Therefore, image is the symbol of the spirit being which is worshiped and not the image based on the fact that whenever you mention the name of that image of the angel or ancestor anywhere by faith, it works according to your faith and believe.
Evidently, Moses Ark carried the image of the two angels. As he went in to pray, he had the voice of God above the two carved image of the angels called the “Cherubim”. Now if someone sees Moses alone with the Ark carrying the image of the two angels, he is seen as worshiping idols or image of angels in the real sense because the voice is not visible to see but the image of the two angels like wise the priests of other gods hears the voice of their oracles or spirits and not their caved image that speak. Angels are called “LORD”, “GOD” “ JEHOVAH” in the bible. So the angels represent the image of God; so Moses was worshiping God’s image as angels.
Evidently, the bronze serpent of Moses did not heal the wounds of Israel but the spirit behind the image and that image on the pole represents the Messiah who shall be hung on a pole or cross in the New Testament of whom Prophet Isaiah said, “…by his stripes we are healed…” ( Isaiah chapter 53 and John chapter 3).
The two angels on the Ark carved did not perform the miracles but the spirit of the two angels which represent the two witnesses namely Moses and Elijah whose angelic names are Gabriel as Moses the introducer of the law, Michael as Elijah the re-enforcer of the law which was kept in the Ark of the Covenant carrying the caved image of the two angels.
Moreso, the image of the Blessed Mary does not perform those miracles but the spirit of the Blessed Mary, the Goddess and Queen of the Universe and the Mother of God the Son.
The golden image of the king of Babylon did not give him the power to rule the whole world under heaven but the god or spirit behind the image of whom Prophet Jeremiah said God had given him dominion over all nations including animals and birds to serve him and that Israel must submit and bow to him if not he will come an invade their land. Not only to serve him but to serve his gods and bow to them as well. In that case, they were not worshiping those images but the spirits of the gods of Babylon behind the image as Moses as earlier predicted in accordance with the prophecy of Jeremiah about the 70 weeks of years in Babylon as interpreted in the prophecy of Daniel (Jeremiah chapter 27 and Daniel chapter 9).
Therefore, right in the wilderness, the whole nation of Israel were worshiping the caved image of the two angels positioned on the Ark of the Covenant that was kept in the Holy of Holiest performing great signs and wonders which lead them into the battle field and returned with victory just as the gods of other nations do to their people such as the Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Meia-Persian, Greece, Rome and other great kingdoms that had ruled. They all believe in the spirits and angels which they called “gods” and made image for them as well.
Therefore both Israel and other nations did not worship those images in the real sense but the spirit and power behind those images like the carved image of the Blessed Mary and the crucifix of Jesus whose names they mentioned in prayers and they get instant result like the Roman Catholic churches and others.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ANCESTRAL SPIRITS
In Matthew chapter 17, the two ancestral spirits of Moses and Elijah that appeared to Jesus Christ on the mount of Transfiguration implies that ancestors has a great rule to play in the lives of their people by giving them the right direction to follow based on the customs and tradition of the land. The law is that you must not invoke out the spirit of the ancestors or angels for consultation but they can appear to their people either in person or through vision and dreams when they pray for revelation or direction through their prophets or Priests. It is an abomination to invoke a spirit out and send it to do harm. Just lay down your request and the gods will do it for you in the manner it seems right in their own eyes. This will be detailed in the last article of this message.
The ancestral spirits do appear and give warning when there is danger ahead or when people are going contrary to the customs and tradition of the land. That is their responsibility as Moses and Elijah did to Jesus Christ. He did not invoke them out to consult them but they appeared on their own as the two witlessness to encourage him about what he was about to face in Jerusalem as the last assignment because he is their leader and if he fails they whole universe will be disappointed. So spiritually, they did not leave him alone even in the Garden of Gethsemane one of them still came down and encouraged him in the night he was arrested.
The same way your mother or father who is late would come to you in the dream even physically in disguised manner to warn you of the danger to come if you are doing what is not right and that depend how she passed her life during her life time. The wrong person would appear to tell you to do sacrifices to him or her else he or she will deal with you. This is a bad spirit but the right spirit will always remind you of the ways of the Lord and to encourage you to continue and never give up as they did to Jesus Christ. That is the difference between the two spirits.
A spirit is like the negative of a photograph which can be reproduced into millions of copies from the same image and can be manipulated into several styles and designs like in the electronic media showing the recoded or live images of persons performing one thing or the other and transmitted into several television sets . This is the same omnipresence factor of the spirits. Thus it is written “ I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh……” (Joel chapter 2:28-29). The spirit is released and possesses people with various gifts known as spiritual gifts but all is from the same spirit being .
The main spirit being lives in heaven but releases his spirit and possesses millions of persons at the same time performing different functions and assignment based on their individual gifts given by the same spirit being. For example, you can hear the sound of an engine of a motor car but as you open the brunet, you could see all kinds of metal, wire, oil, fuel etc all performing different factions in order to make the car moving.
In science, there are certain elements whose atomic structure can cooperate to form electrovalent bond while other elements do not agree to come together to form a specific function. So there are different group of elements. Also in human being not every man and woman would come together in marriage to produce children unless they are of the right genotype and blood group although they are all human beings even though they look alike in appearance.
Now if you are the good type and you die, your image will still function in the spirit world to be giving good advice to others as an ancestral spirit as a Saint while your real soul leaves in Paradise with God. In the same way if you are bad, you image will function in doing evil to others but your soul is tormenting in the lake of fire burning with brimstone after you have died.
They can invoke your spirit if you are bad to do all kinds of wickedness but they cannot invoke the good spirit of yours to do evil because your are not of the same group. The appearance of the spirit as image of the dead is known a familiar spirit – meaning something that looks alike or very familiar. The evil spirit is what the bible called “unclean spirit” in order to differentiate it from the good spirit. Consequently, when King Saul sinned, the good spirit of God departed from him and evil spirit from God possessed him according to the book of 1 Samuel chapter 16.
In another development, the spirit of a leader can posses his followers when he is still alive and after dead. For example, the spirit of Moses possessed the Seventy Elders of Israel and Joshua before and after his dead. The same applies to Prophet Elijah and Elisha after his ascension. Jesus gave power to his Apostles to heal the sick before and after his ascension and the very spirit was passed on to the church till today.
More evidently, the gift and attitude of a church founder also possesses the members who also perform like him because his spirit is in them so they possess his image in their action like father –like- son.
REINCARNATION
Reincarnation itself is the reflection of the image of the original person displaying similar character and action in another person but is not the original person. Therefore John the Baptist came in the spirit and power of Elijah but was not the real Elijah but reflected the same image of Elijah in actions, character and lifestyle just like Prophet Goodnews Adolphus does. Therefore in that sense John the Baptist was the re-incarnate of Elijah as Jesus testified (Matthew chapter 17).
For example, in music production, the master tape which is the original tape of the composer, can mass produce into millions of copies likewise is the spirit of the ancestors depending on the group he belongs either good or bad. Similarly, Jesus Christ was the reflection and image of King Solomon the very Son of God and likewise the very spirit of the Son of God reflects in the life of other world religious founders such as Moses of Judaism and other world religious founders and their own history would look alike like the lifestyle and character of Prophet Elijah and John the Baptist case. Moses had the same character with Jesus Christ (Number chapter 12) same as King Solomon of old who was given the title “SON OF GOD” and the Prince of Peace from the root of David while Moses was of Levi. Therefore the real Son of God was King Solomon the son of David which was reflected in the image of Jesus Christ the Son of God being the son of King David in conformity with the prophecies.
.
Also for an example, the spirit of an ancestor is like the broadcaster in a television station facing the cameras and his image is transmitted live into millions of television sets in their living rooms but the quality of each television set vary from one manufacturer to another. Some televisions are made of a very high quality standard showing very bright pictures, good audio and powerful reception but other do not have the same quality like them but all are television sets. Also on each product we have best and largest producers in the whole world. Therefore, the spirit of the Son of God reflecting on world religious founders may be called by different names in several world religions such as Avatar, Messiah, Christ, Inman Madi, etc. to appear again in the end-time. In all these, Israel has produced the world most famous and popular religious leader called “Jesus Christ” founder of Christianity followed by Prophet Mohammed of Saudia Arabia founder of Islam.
