Going YONDER!
YONDER:FROM GETHSEMANE TO GOLGOTHA TO ARMAGEDDON
This is a lesson in "Biblical Geography". Since I was a student I developed a fascination with the subject of geography, moreso as I became a student of the Bible.
NOW I SHOULD GET ON WITH MY OWN TEACHING.... OUR JOURNEY INTO POWER AND AUTHORITY!!
As our Lord Jesus aligned His will to the Father at Gethsemane so he could then go to Golgotha and, laying down his own life, took authority over all sin. At Armageddon we will see the Power to Heal and Deliver the entire world. We cannot walk in our authority until we lay down our will and align to the Father's will [a process of intimate prayer]. Authority must be established before power is released.
Mat_26:36 Then comes Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder...
['Yonder'] is a place sacrificial worship, as Abe went to Moriah]. >> 'Yonder' is a place on both sides of the Kidron Valley, Moriah and Gethsemane. See Gen 22:1-5 where Abraham obeys when God instructs him to lay down his son Isaac. In vs 5 he tells his servants “Wait here while I go Yonder to Worship.
After Christ and his OT shadow-type Isaac went yonder to worship and fulfill the Father's will we go to the next stop on our journey:
Mat 27:33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
Joh_19:17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
>> 'skull' the place of 'dead heads'. If we are to have the 'mind of Christ' then we must die to our own mental constructs.
Rev_16:16 And he [the Returned Christ] gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
>> Megid'do. (place of crowns). Armageddon is the 'hill of Megiddo'.
Before we talk about the release of power at Armageddon, I need to talk about the 3rd 'Yonder' found in Matt 17:20 And he saith unto them, Because of your little faith: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
>>Yes, this third 'yonder' is one of Mountain moving faith. When we are aligned in obedience to the Father's will, we will release supernatural power. Obstacles will be removed so that you can receive the fullness of God's promises in your life.
>> We are going 'yonder' to the hill of crowns [crown represents your authority , to release power against the forces of evil.
>> From the place of 'dead heads' to 'place of crowned heads'!!
There are places that we must go to and thru as we carry our cross. It may happen in different ways with individuals and churches. Let us look at three places and some prophetic meaning for them.
GethseMANE – Lay down our will, our flesh is crushed and the oil of the spirit is released.
Laying down our will is the first step to laying down our life.
it is a place of prayer; and we are invited to pray with our Lord.
- so often the church slumbers at crucial moments.
2. Golgotha – Pick up your cross. Having laid down your life on the Cross, that you may carry your own cross forward.
Christ had already laid down his life to fulfill his Father's purpose.
So too we are crucified in the flesh, to find our own cross
as Christ carried his cross to Golgotha so too must we pick up our cross at the condemnation of the world and religious structures
Armageddon – The final conflict between the Soldiers of the Kingdom and all who oppose the Kingdom.
Rev 16:16 Those armies came together in a place that in Hebrew is called Armagedon.
The mountain gave us a vantage over the struggle of good and evil. Armageddon has become associated with the prophetic fulfillment of the final earthly conflict.
In actual fact it is located on the plain of Esdraelon, which was famous for two great victories, of Barak, over the Canaanites and of Gideon, over the Midianites; and for two great disasters, the deaths of Saul and Josiah.
1Jn_3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
Armageddon1 (place of crowns) This valley was a challenge for the chosen people of God to add to their inheritance.
“It had been originally one of the royal cities of the Canaanites Jos_12:21, and was one of those of which the Israelites were unable for a long time to take possession.” [Barnes on Rev 16:16]
Zec 12:10 I, the LORD, will make the descendants of David and the people of Jerusalem feel deep sorrow and pray when they see the one they pierced with a spear. They will mourn and weep for him, as parents weep over the death of their only child or their first-born. 11 On that day the people of Jerusalem will mourn as much as everyone did for Hadad Rimmon on the flatlands near Megiddo.
According to the Popular commentary, the name was “derived from the Hebrew verb signifying to destroy; so that, apart from any particular associations, the simple meaning of the word is ‘the mountain of destruction.’”
It will also become a place of sadness for the “descendants of David” but it will 'turn them to prayer when they see the one pierced with a spear.” [see John 19:37]
We are inheritors of the covenant of David, we will have legacy and an eternal seat. In the same way Armageddon is the place of fulfillment when we shall take our seat.
We however, are have the authority and the ability to take 'our' Armageddon. We are empowered by the Holy Spirit.
1Compare 2Ch_35:22, where it is said that Josiah “came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.” Megiddo was a town belonging to Manasseh, although within the limits of Issachar, Jos_17:11.
