THE PLATE OF PURE GOLD

Taught by:  Pastor Carolyn Sissom

Tuesday, November 9, 2010

 

This past weekend we were corporately lifted into the Shekinah Glory.  Keith Miller preached in the Glory under the anointing of revelation knowledge.  Steve Mitchell and the Eastgate praise and worship team lifted us into the throne room of the Lord.   Then John Sielski took us through the Word into the “the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel.”   Through the Grace of true humility, these messengers brought us to a place in the Word and Spirit that quickened to me a Prophetic word in vision the Lord gave me in July 2001.

 

Vision:  I saw a plate of gold, a cobalt blue cup, a cluster of grapes and a loaf of bread.

 

I was preparing to preach in a conference in Louisiana.   I searched the scripture for references to a plate of gold.

 

 (Ex. 28: 36-39):  “And you shall make a plate of pure gold, and engrave  upon it, like the engravings of a signet, Holiness to the Lord.  And you shall put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon the MITRE; upon the forefront of the MITRE (turban), it shall be.”

 

Ex. 39: 28-31: “And a MITRE of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and lined breeches of fine twined linen, and a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple and scarlet of needlework, as the Lord commanded Moses.  And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.”

 

At that time I wrote and felt that there was an alignment going on with the Body of Christ by the Holy Spirit moving His Elect from the Feast of Pentecost (the blue robe) to the Feast of Tabernacles (the Ephod).  The linen coat of the Priest revealed Jesus the Way.  The Blue Robe revealed Jesus the Truth and the Ephod is revealing Jesus the Life. (Jn. 14:6)  “Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth and the life; no man comes to the Father, but by Me.”

 

The Priestly Garments (not a comprehensive study):

 

The linen coat, linen breeches, linen girdle and hem of the linen coat are the same principle as  the Feast of Passover, the sin offering, the trespass offering, and Outer Court.  This is symbolic of  justification by faith, repentance, regeneration, redemption,  water Baptism, Sanctification and Divine Healing.

 

The Seamless blue Robe, bells and pomegranates; and hem of blue robe are the same principle as the Feast of Pentecost; Two wave loaves; Trumpets;  Beginnings of awakening;  The Holy Place; Candlestick (oil); Table of Shewbread; Meal Offering; Holy Spirit Baptism; Fruit and Gifts of the Spirit; Laying on of Hands; Tabernacle of David (worship).

 

The Breastplate of Judgment; and  Urim and Thummim  are the same principle as Day of Atonement – time of cleansing and purification.  Sin is judged; The Ark of the Covenant and the Mercy Seat;  Everything is the Lord’s (100%).  This is the Melchisedec order of Priesthood, full son-ship, the Glorious Church.

 

The MITRE (crown) and the Plate of Pure Gold – Holiness to the Lord are the same principle as Feast of Tabernacles, the rest of God;  God tabernacles in a people, the Coming of the Lord.  Everything is washed and burnt by fire.  The Shekinah Glory, perfection, the adoption and the redemption of the Body .

 

(The above taken from a chart by Kelly Varner)

 

The Ephod was worn by Aaron the Priest, Samuel the prophet and David the King.  All three offices meet in Jesus and those overcomers in His image.  The Ephod restoration to the Five-fold is the principle of the ninth major move of the Lord in the church since 1517 when the revelation of  Justification by Faith was restored to the Church.

 

The Lord spoke to me, “Carolyn I want my ministers to be living, color Kodak copies of Jesus.”

 

It is a pretty high bar to desire to be in the image of Jesus.  Now the Lord is raising the bar on us. 

 

The plate of pure gold then is symbolic of the perfection and maturity of the Church.  Have we arrived in that place?  No, but there are those who have been brought forth in these past ten years as first fruits of the Harvest.  These are now being positioned to usher in the Harvest.  There was a gathering at Eastgate Ministries, Inc., Houston, TX this past weekend of November 5-7^th, of a firstfruits company of those whom the Lord chose.  I do not boast when I say, the Lord supernaturally appointed this gathering.  “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by His own authority.” (Acts 1:7)   Keith Miller preached in Acts 1:1 “The former account (Book of Luke) have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach. Until the day in which He was take up, after that He through the Holy Ghost had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen.:”

 

THE PLATE OF PURE GOLD (Divine nature) was engraved with the words (like a signet or seal “Holiness To the Lord. 

 

“The word for Plate is ‘TSITS” meaning glistening, a burnished plate; to blossom, flourish, bloom, growth of plants; gleam of a crown; shine,  sparkle.”

 

The Plate is called the Holy Crown in Exodus 39:30.  The word Crown means, “set apart, dedication, Nazarite, royalty”.

 

Peter describes this in 1 Peter 5:4: “When the Chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive a crown of Glory that fades not away.”

 

In the next five verses, Peter tell us how to live that we may receive this Crown:

 

1. You younger submit yourselves to the elder.
2. All of you be subject one to another.
3. Be clothed with humility.
4. God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.
5. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God that He may exalt you in due time.
6. Casting all your cares upon Him; for He cares for you.
7. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour.
8. Whom (satan) resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

 

In verse 10, Peter tells us the program of how we will receive this crown:

 

“But the God of all grace, who has called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that you have suffered a while, make you perfect, establishing, strengthen, and settle you.”

 

Here again is the program:

 

1. After you have suffered a while, make you perfect.
2. Establish
3. Strengthen
4. Settle You.

 

I wrote in my notes the following”  A settling is now going on in a first fruit company.  On July 11, 2001, we entered a time set by the authority of God a new move of the Holy Spirit for Christendom”  I thought at that time, that we would soon see the Harvest come forth in great numbers.  I was wrong on the timing.  It was a firstfruits company of saints who were being prepared in a crucible of fire as leaders in the Harvest.

 

I continue to quote from my notes:  “In Numbers 13:20 is a key to the vision.  “Now is the time of the first ripe grapes.”   The Feast of Pentecost is a feast of the foretaste of the Fullness of God.  In Pentecost, we can do no more than raid Canaan in the Spring and Fall. 

 

A cluster reveals the manifold or many-sided fulness of Christ (Col. 2:9) "For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily."  The local church is also a cluster. (Isa. 65:8) "Thus says the Lord, ' "As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants sakes, that I may not destroy them all." This is the church rightly related without prejudice or isolationism.

 

 In the year 2011, the church is experiencing the abiding Presence of the Lord where we abide in Canaan.   “Blessed by the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” (Eph. 1:3)

 

Eph. 2: 1-6:  “Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience:  Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.  But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us.”

 

Isa. 28: 5:  “In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a Crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, to the residue of His people.”

 

There were three signets in Aaron’s garments.  The signet of the Plate of Pure Gold was engraved with “HOLINESS TO THE LORD”.

 

1. Signet of Breastplate –1^st Sealing —Water Baptism – Exodus 28:21
2. Signet of Onyx Stones – 2^nd Sealing —Holy Spirit Baptism—Exodus 28:11
3. Signet of Golden Plate—3^rd Sealing---Full Stature – Mind of Christ Ex. 28:36

 

The three sealing’s on Aaron’s garments correspond with the three spiritual realms of growth and maturity of the believer and the spiritual journey of the Overcomer.

 

I have written in my notes with no reference as to the source the following:  " The difference between innocence and purity is,  in the Garden was innocence.  New Jerusalem is Purity.  Innocence has never been subjected to good and evil.  Purity has overcome both good and evil." 

 

Life flows after we have suffered, been tempted and overcame the temptations.  The Tree of Life speaks of the partaking of Divine Life.  The River speaks of the out-flowing of giving forth of Divine Life.  The Plate of Pure Gold speaks of Divine nature.  The Divine nature and son-ship of (Christ in us coming to maturity) will ultimately result in the reward of Life.  Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

 

Isa. 62: 1-3: “For Zion’s sake will I not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, unto the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burns. And the Gentiles shall see your righteousness, and  all kings your glory; and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.  You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.”

 

The Mind of Christ is a Mind of Holiness (the Divine nature),  (Mt. 5:48) “Be you therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”

 

The MITRE and Plate were joined by a Blue lace.  The Mind of Christ is a heavenly Mind (1 Cor. 15: 44-49 – Amplified). 

 

The forehead speaks of purpose, will, mind (sealed with the Mind of Christ).  The very word for Crown (revealing the King-Priest ministry of Melchisedec) shows a separation unto holiness which ultimately results in a separation from sin, sickness, poverty, and death.  The reward (or crown) of holiness is life and immortality (Rom. 1:4).

 

Aaron fully dressed pictures Jesus Christ in all His glorious perfection as High Priest.  He also typifies man in glorification, having put on Christ in fullness (fully clothed as in 11 Cor. 5: 1-5).

 

The shape of the MITRE is not given, but it was made of linen.  (Lev. 16:4).  The Mind of Christ is a mind of righteousness.  Jewish tradition says that the MITRE was in the shape of a large dome with a small dome on top, representing a clay oven (for baking bread or melting metal).

 

Rev. 14:4 “These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins.  These are they which follow the Lamb wherever He goes.  These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.  And in their mouth was found no guile; for they are without fault before the throne of God.”

 

The Lamb Company is a first fruit Company. God uses many illustrations to reveal what He is doing in the church.  As Overcomers, we are on a journey from Egypt to Canaan Land.  He is preparing a corporate body in which He will be glorified as the Head.  He is building a Temple.  He has planted a garden.  He is the husbandman who waits for the precious fruit of the earth.  He is the Chief Musician of the Sanctuary.  He is the King and Priest of the whole earth.  The earth is His and the fullness, thereof. 

 

I have been blessed to be able to see this Glory for many years.  I do believe it has begun and we will see it cover the whole earth through the saints of God.

 

I submit this message to Keith Miller, Steve Mitchell and John Sielski as ministers of the Sanctuary. (Heb. 8:2) “A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.”  I pray you will find worthy words in this message to bless you as your messages blessed me. 

 

Ez. 45:4: “The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests the ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister to the Lord.”
