INTRODUCTION
We are living in the days of great expectation. Even the very air
seems to be holding its breath as all creation anticipates an
imminent outpouring of God to set us free from our captivity.
Indeed, in this day, we are much like the children of Israel who had
been sent in Babylonian captivity for seventy years, & like Daniel
we have been searching for God’s way out of our imprisonment to
a flesh nature.
It was in response to Daniels persistent beseeching that the angel
Gabriel appeared to give God’s directive concerning Israel’s
release from bondage. Even today these thousands of years later,
we can find in this reply to Daniel an application for us as well.
“Seventy weeks are determined for your people for your holy city,
to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, To make
reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness,
to seal up vision & prophecy, & to anoint the Most Holy.” Dan
9:24. NKJV.
We notice it says, “Seventy weeks are determined upon thy
people & upon thy holy city to finish, the transgression.”..... That
is an important reality for us to understand. Ever since Jesus Christ,
transgression is finished, & sin is no longer the issue, Moreover,
the conduct of men’s ways is not the issue.
The verse goes on to say, “to make an end of sins, & to make
reconciliation for iniquity, & to bring in everlasting
righteousness.” In other words, Jesus Christ’s death, burial &
resurrection was a turning point to the whole span of time. He is the
end of an old world & the beginning of a new one. He is the third
heaven & the third earth. He is the beginning of a new world & a
brand new race of people.
It happened just as it was prophesied; there came a spiritual One,
unlike anyone who had ever walked upon the face of the earth. He
came in insignificance & in obscurity, & then He went away. But
4
He sent the Holy Spirit to bring us remembrance of all things & to
lead us into all truth.
Now the scriptures clearly indicate the coming of another man.
This coming of another man has been made to seem like it is only
going to be wrapped up in Jesus. The coming of this other man has
been called the second coming of Christ, the return of the Lord, &
so on, but the scriptures show us that the reason He went away &
sent the comforter was that through joining with the Lord we could
become a part of the appearing of that man. So this new spiritual
man that is coming again, represents a new kind of humanity,
whose whole life has been turned inside out.
Armageddon is a battle that is going to bring an end to a life that
we have known up till now, & a new kind of life will be introduced
into our being. But, we have to realise that some things die hard.
This is no small thing. It is tremendously difficult to comprehend
the loss of the perception of life, as we have known it. All our days
in the flesh have been spent in the building up of ideas & thoughts
& concepts that are as far from the truth as night is from day.
I want to get to the very last part of the word to Daniel where it
says, “and to anoint the Most Holy.” The Most Holy referred to
the innermost compartment of the Tabernacle of Moses, & there
was no way to enter that innermost part except through the Outer
Court & the Holy Place. The significant thing about this Daniel 9
scripture is that there was going to come a time when God would
anoint the Most Holy.
5
That word anoint in the Greek is Christos or Christ, the
anointing. Christ is the visible demonstration of the invisible. Jesus
was the Christ; He was the visible out-raying of the invisible God.
That’s why He was Jesus the Christ. In Him dwelt all the fullness
of the Godhead bodily. Now there is a people who are being joined
into Christ, and are coming into this same en-christ-ment so that
they are going to become the visible expression of the invisible.
More specifically, they are going to be a walking, living & moving
Most Holy Place.
That which has been obscured, that which has been encrusted,
with traditions & lies is now being ripped away, & a revealing is
coming forth, & the anointing of the Most Holy is taking place &
the knowledge of the Most Holy is coming forth to bring this
people into that truth.
The time has come for us to Anoint the Most Holy.

ANOINTING THE OUTER COURT

first experience we have when when we, are, being brought by the
true Spirit of God. A lot of people have spiritual experiences, but if
the spirit they are having the experience with doesn't bring them to
the brazen altar, they haven't experienced the true God.
Now, the brazen altar represents the principle of the cross. There
are other concepts found here too, but the very first thing we
experience is Jesus on the cross. We don't stay there, but we begin
there. We come to the knowledge that there was a cross & a
sacrifice on it. In terms of New testament vocabulary, we meet
Jesus as our Saviour. In terms of the great feasts pictured in the
Bible, this experience is the celebration of Passover. One New
Testament doctrine sums up the principle of the brazen altar as
justification by faith. All these various characteristics become real
to us when the Spirit actually begins to deal with our lives.
It will separate what we do, & how we walk in the world. It will
separate our mentality. It is more than just physical separation. It is
an attitude, a state of mind. Through this, we begin to enrich &
deepen our experience.
Many people make this their end; they are saved & in the Word
of God. They have met Jesus as their Saviour, & they seem to have
a better human condition. They feel better about themselves & are
freed of guilt & bondage. Their thoughts are primarily centred on
changing outer conditions of dis-harmony, discord & evil. When
they see someone sick or hurting, they pray to change it, & they
7
very often see answers to prayer. However, there is another
principle found here that the brazen laver represents that those who
would stop with the Outer Court experience do not understand. The
brazen laver also represents washings. Every priest was required to
wash his hands & feet in this piece of furniture under penalty of
death before proceeding onward.
-------------------------

ANOINTING THE HOLY PLACE
The Doorway.
Next we come to the door of the tent, the passageway into the
Holy Place. The doorway speaks of a whole new level of
experience, the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Every priest was
required to be anointed with oil at the doorway. The significance is
that the baptism is not just a doorway; it is an entry way. The
baptism of the Holy Spirit is an earnest, a down payment, but
religion has made this an end. All this does is give us an entrance
into a new realm, the realm of anointing where we meet Jesus in an
experience that is much deeper than we had previously known. It is
where we meet Him as the Christ, the Anointing.

the bowls. The oil represented the Spirit, & it all points to Jesus, the
Light of the World. In addition, it represents how we start to
become to become the light. We do that by having oil, the Spirit
poured into our vessel. It is then that we actually begin to give off
light. In the Outer Court, we were still in natural light, but in the
Holy Place, we start to get delivered from traditions .As we come
into truth, we begin to give off true light, revelation- knowledge.
The word becomes alive. The same verses of scripture we read
when we were in the Outer Court suddenly have new meaning, &
we experience revelation from God.
It is significant that in Samuel's day the light went out in the Holy
Place, which meant there was no more revelation knowledge. Now,
the candlestick is also a type of the Church. Surely, in this hour,
there is a Samuel company growing up, hearing a word from God,
while the church is dying with no light. Moreover there are other
things to learn about the lamp stand. The way the fixture was made
with its knobs, bowls, & fruit & the number of them also point to
the nine gifts & nine fruits of the Spirit.
In the “fruit of the spirit”, we have the light, the nature of God. In
the gifts of the Spirit, we have the motion, the ministry of God.
9
other side of ourselves, & we saw that we were living in two
worlds. This is a realm of duality, but there are times when we truly
are anointed. Sometimes we feel like God, & we reach out &
minister. But there has been a lot of ministry done in the flesh,
because there is still a lot of the flesh left in this realm. I have seen
people get bitter, because a person would stand up in the
congregation & prophesy & then go out & have a smoke. But really
there was nothing wrong.
10
sitting in the hospital that day saying to myself, “Now I'm a
preacher; I'm supposed to have faith; I have to live what I preach. I
needed to personally find that I believed. However, the only reason
that I was in the hospital was because of the opinions of all my
family & friends who said to go. Now, I had to reconcile that whole
set of issues once again when I was there, because I had already
settled them before I ever got there, but then I listened to that which
was outside of me. I was moved by the opinions of others.
Because of the up & down nature of this realm, we are like the
wicks of this candlestick, & we have to be trimmed, since we have
not attained to the stability of the God nature. Sometimes we need
to be lifted up. Other times, the High Priest has to cut the wick,
because it is too high, too exalted. But it is all part of the process.
We are trimmed & shaped until, we give off an even, pure light.
11
we start eating His life in the light of the truth. We begin to
experience true communion with Jesus. In the book of Ruth
chapter 2, Ruth had gotten into the field Boaz owned, but she hadn't
yet met Boaz. He came to her & spoke to her & invited her to his
table. At the table he told her, “Honey, come here & dip your
morsel in the cup of vinegar.” Now, this is what we find out when
we have true communion with God.
We thought He would prophesy & tell us how great we are going
to be, but instead, at the communion table, He invites us to partake
of His sufferings. Then, He takes a piece of parched corn &
reaches over & feeds us personally, one on one.
Prior to this time, we were only gathering what the reapers left.
We were just tasting a little bit of the true bread of God. But when
we come to the communion table, Jesus personally feeds us in the
light of the Spirit of revelation knowledge.
In addition, on the table are two crowns of gold typifying the five
fold ministry of God: apostles, prophets, evangelists, teachers &
pastors. The five fold ministry is given to perfect the saints, not the
church. Who are the saints? The word “saints” means sanctified-
ones. The five fold ministry will never perfect the Church. They
don't want to be perfected. It is given to perfect those called-out
ones who are going all the way with Jesus.
12
to worship, praise, intercede & minister. But as wonderful as this
is, we are still in an in-part realm In the Outer Court the feast we
experienced was Passover. In the Holy Place the feast we
experience is Pentecost. However, neither of these is an end! We
cannot stop at either of these places & think we have arrived. We
must move beyond the veil that stands between the Holy Place &
the Most Holy Place; This veil is the realm of appearance; it is the
veil of flesh. When we get beyond this veil, we begin to partake of
the Most Holy Place.
-----------------------------

UNDERSTANDING THE VEIL OF APPEARANCE
13
But this third realm, this anointing of the Most Holy, requires us
to come to terms with some things in order to enter it. One is that
nothing has been against us; everything has been FOR us.
Another is that our attention must now begin to leave the sense
realm & turn into the spiritual realm.
Now this is where Armageddon begins. All our kings are being
drawn into the battle as we find the substance of our true nature.
We will never see the “revealing of Christ” apart from His own
nature in us being expressed. We will never be like Jesus any other
way than this. It doesn't matter how many doctrines we memorise
or how much knowledge we have.
The first thing which we encounter when entering the Most Holy
Place is the veil at the doorway. This veil represents the external
realm of appearance or flesh. HEBREWS10:19-20, describes it
this way.
19. “Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the
holiest by the blood of Jesus.
20. “By a new & living way, which He hath consecrated for us,
through the veil, that is to say, His flesh-----
14
touch & think about. It doesn't operate in the spirit but in what I
call body revelation--the knowledge we have gained by touch,
sight, hearing & smell, & by the realm of emotions, intellect &
reasoning's. All our lives we have learned, through body revelation.
Our body makes judgements & sends the judgement into the mind
which acts as a projector, projecting the judgement onto the screen
of our life. The result is what we minister to other people. God
is saying to literally shrink back from this. This is where all the
sin, guilt feelings, & perceptions of evil operate.
Religion has taught that evil is real & good is opposite from evil.
The BIBLE says that the fruit of both good & evil is death.
Religion teaches that God is good, & the opposite of God is the
devil. This is not true. God is God. We cannot put the devil on any
level with God. The only thing opposite of God is God. He can be
His own opposite, but there is nothing that is Opposite God.
However, this is how religion & life have taught us to judge things
by good & evil, & both produce death. Only man lives in this
consciousness. Duality means the quality or state of being made up
of two elements or aspects. Interestingly enough, WEBSTER'S
DICTIONARY also gives an additional definition of the word
“duality” as the doctrine that the universe is under the dominion of
15
two opposing principles, one good & one evil. But now God is
bringing us into oneness, a singleness where we behold only the
Lord. God is God, & the devil is nothing.
Man lives in the consciousness of light & darkness, good & evil,
but God does not. From His perspective, He looks & sees all things
working together for good. God is now lifting us up into this realm
of knowledge, into a God consciousness.
16
Since judgement is a decision-making process, we are not to
make any decisions based on anything in the outward realm. We
may look at a situation we are in & think that we are having
problems or that the devil is after us, but we are making that
judgement on what we are experiencing. God would say we are
judging by appearance. We can't even begin to judge righteous
judgement unless we know the end from the beginning. If we don't
know where someone is coming from & where he is going, we
cannot, pick out a point in time & look at his life & say this is what
is happening. If we judge by appearances we miss the reality. Some
elect are sitting on barstools; some are on drugs; they are just not
aware of who they are.
We are to make no decisions about ourself or anyone else based
upon outward, body revelation. If we want to begin to understand
this, we have to leave the realm of appearance. Leaving the realm
of appearance means taking the emphasis off what is happening in
the physical & how we are feeling.
“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things
which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal,
(passing) but the things that are not seen are eternal.” (Age
abiding) 2 Cor, 4:18. KJV.
17
The world as it exists today, is an illusion, because it causes us to
misinterpret what is really happening & the true nature of things.
We see all the wickedness & rebellion that is going on, & we say,
“Oh God, what's happening it's out of control.” But the BIBLE
says, “The earth is the Lord's & the fullness thereof....” Unless
we get it by the Spirit, we misinterpret what is actually existing.
All our self condemnation & guilt feelings are an illusion causing
us to misinterpret who we are. “WE ARE SPIRIT.” We are the
offspring of God. When we, begin to think this way, as we begin to
leave the realm of appearance, our whole view of things takes on a
new reality.
“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened (Jesus is the
door into the spirit realm) in heaven. And the first voice which I
heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me which said,
“Come up hither,” Rev 4:1. KJV.
Today I could say it this way, “The veil is rent, the door is
open.” John went beyond the veil, his flesh; he went within his
outward form.
His flesh was merely his outward form. He went within himself to
the Father, into the realm of Spirit. If we want to come to this
place, we have to go within our outward form. Getting beyond the
veil getting beyond the flesh, getting beyond the outward, the
externals, the appearance.

ANOINTING THE MOST HOLY PLACE

sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of
the Spirit; for the letter kills but the spirit gives life.”
The old is an outward covenant which was supposed to be
operated by reading & doing it. This proved vain, simply because
man does not have the ability within himself to keep the covenant.
So, Paul is saying that the Spirit is going to do something new. He
is going to write this covenant inside us, & make it our nature. The
nature can then function within us to keep the Word of God.
When Moses was upon the mountain receiving the Law of God,
it was given to him, as he, in his own sense of being was elevated.
When he came down from that mountain, Israel was worshipping
a golden calf, & the Psalmist says that they changed their glory.
20
not have an effect in their life. The only way that those
commandments can really find expression is if the people were to
climb the same mountain that Moses did. This is why we do not
find much expression of God in the earth, or for that matter, in the
church. Why? Each one has to climb that mountain. If we remain
in the level of consciousness that all Israel was in, we still have an
image of ourselves that is like unto a beast. We don't have an
image of ourselves as God. That is the only place that those
commandments are going to operate effectively. Our own
conscious awareness of what we are by nature must be raised to
what He is.
So in these scriptures, God was saying, “I'm not going to give
My people a covenant of do's & don'ts & rights & wrongs,
because they can't do it anyway. I'm not going to give them a
religion that tries to change their effects; I'm going to make a
covenant where I'm going to write My laws, or the principle of
My being, My very nature, in them, & also in their minds & in
their hearts. And I will be their cause.”
The very nature that we are produces the effect. It produces the
performance of the covenant. This new covenant is not like the old
one. It is not based upon what we can do; it is based upon
Himself. He swore by an oath that what He has begun in us He
will complete. He took the responsibility of it upon Himself &
said, “I'm going to be their Cause.” They are going to find out that
I am them, & they are Me, & we are one, & there is no difference.
I am going to be their Cause, & they are not going to fail.
21
He has not left this thing up to chance; He has not left it up to
us. Even the universal plan has been in His hand the whole time.
The entire program has been progressing according to the
universal purpose that He has purposed in Himself. No matter
what it appears to look like in the outer realm, God is in control.
The scriptures clearly indicate that He is Lord. Fear not what man
can do unto us. God is in control.
In this realm there are no other gods before us, not the devil, not
Adam- no carnal god. It is here, in the Most Holy Place, that we
begin losing our duality. This whole process is happening within
us. We start partaking of the hidden manna & the resurrection life.
And this experience is now finding expression in this third day
from Jesus, the day of resurrection.

THE COVENANT WITHIN THE ARK
22
letter of the law, & trying to read it & do it resulted in death for
us, because every failure we encountered pushed us further &
further toward self-condemnation &, consequently, further &
further away from God.
The Law of Life is not actually a new law, for its substance is
ageless & eternal; it is the Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the
Ending, God Himself. When the Bible says, “In the beginning,”
it is not referring to a place in time, but to a realm of
consciousness, a state of being. The beginning is a Person, whose
name is the Word, & this Word is Spirit & Life.
Now, this word formed itself into a book called the Book of
Life, & it is this book that we encounter, in the Ark of the
Covenant within ourselves.
When the apostle John was on the Isle of Patmos, he entered the
experience of opening this book & Revelation 5 deals with this
very book contained within each one of us. John said;
“And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a
book written within & on the backside, sealed with seven seals.”
Rev 5:1.KJV.
The book was sealed with seven seals... Here we have this book
within us, the Book of Life, the word of God, the Law of the Spirit
of Life, our very own being & nature, but it is sealed. In order for
23
it to do us any good, the seals have to be broken so that we can get
to what is within the book.
Now, we also have an outer book that we call the BIBLE, and
many have stopped with that book, calling it the “word of God.”
The Bible could be defined by the word “exoteric” which is the
opposite of “esoteric”, & it means, “to be imparted to the
public” (everybody), belonging to the outer or less initiate circle,
lay-man, outsider, the doctrines or discourses for the uninstructed
or general public.
The Bible is the outer-book. This book is written for the general
public, but it is to lead us to the book within. We can't read the
Bible & meet meet God. This book is one big fairy tale, unless the
spirit initiates us into the book that is written within the book. If
we get the Spirit, the spirit will bring us to the book that is written
for only those who are initiated. The mysteries are given to those
who are instructed.
The book was sealed. The word “sealed” #4972 in Strong's, &
it means a stamp or a private mark for- security & preservation
from misappropriation, to keep secret.
24
The Spirit is taking some of us within. It is as we go inside that
we begin to discover Spirit & God who is Spirit. As we begin to
discover God, we discover who we are, because we came out from
Him. Paul said that we are, offspring of God, & like begats like.
The first reason the seals are there is to do this whole thing in
secret. What God has been working within us has been a secret.
However, it was only supposed to be a secret to the world, but
unfortunately, it has been as secret to most believers as well.
“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed
unto the day of redemption.” Eph 4:30. KJV.
Our inner book of Spirit has been sealed, & the seals are what
have kept the expression of spirit locked away, but only until the
day of redemption.
The day speaks of the day of the Lord, & redemption is a word
that means to free fully, relieve, release, & loose. We've been
sealed till the day of loosing. The day of the Lord is the day of
loosing. The day of the Lord is when the seals begin to be loosed
& we see the performance of Spirit, which had previously been
sealed. This is why we are hearing this now. We must wake out
of our sleep! We are not our mind! We are not our body! We are
SPIRIT! We are coming into union with the Spirit of Christ, & the
25
seals of our inner book are going to be opened, & we will bring
forth the performance of the new covenant.
-------------------------
6
OPENING THE SEALS
The Book of Revelation says that John was in the spirit on the
Lords day, the day of loosing. When he became in spirit, he began
to tap into that book within his Ark. He saw this book was sealed
with seven seals, & he heard an angel proclaim:
“Who is worthy to open the book, & to loose the seals thereof?
“And no man in heaven, or in earth, neither under the earth,
was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.” Rev 5:2,3.
KJV.
And one of the elders (someone with maturity) said unto John,
“Weep not. There is an elder, people who are gaining some
insight, & they are not crying any more, because they have a new
message.
26
Their message is, “There is one who is worthy; there is
someone to open the book”. There is someone in us that can
release the seals within us. Behold look, see, there is somebody
standing up in the Most Holy Place! There is a Lambkin, a lamb
standing up in the heavens within us, He is worthy. Don't cry, See!
“---behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David,
hath prevailed to open (not will open) the book, & to loose the
seven seals thereof. And I beheld, & lo, in the midst of the
throne & the four living creatures, & in the midst of the elders,
stood a Lamb”---
Rev 5:5-6. KJV.
This means the Lamb of the tribe of Judah has stood up to open
the book. Understand we are not taking the place of Jesus. The
more I see this the more I want to worship & glorify Him. But
Jesus, in His human form, speaks of something else to us.
“And I saw no people there: for the Lord God Almighty, & the
Lamb, (lambkin) are the temple of it.” Rev.21:22. KJV.
We know who the Lord God Almighty is. Jesus is on the throne.
In Rev 4:11, the living creatures were worshipping Him saying,
“O Lord, thou art worthy.” As they were worshipping Him, they
were saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty.” If He
is the Lord God Almighty, who is the lamb? We are the Lamb.
27
This is what happens when we start to come into the Most Holy
Place. A lamb nature stands up in us, & begins to open the seals
of the book.
This lamb had seven eyes, perfect insight, which flows out into
a ministry of seven spirits which is the spirit of perfection. This is
not seven different spirits; it is one spirit flowing out in perfection.
If we look at the seven spirits of God in Isaiah 11 & we count
them, we find there are only six listed. Why are there only six?
Because He is the seventh. We get the first six, & they bring us to
the seventh.
“The seven Spirits of God are sent forth into all the earth. And
He came & took the book out of the right hand of Him who sat
upon the throne. And when he had taken the book the four
(living creatures) & four & twenty elders fell down before the
Lamb, having every one of them harps, & golden vials full of
odours, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new
song, saying thou art worthy to take the book, & to open the
seals thereof, for thou wast slain & has redeemed us to God by
thy blood out of every kindred, & tongue, & nation, & people; &
28
hast made us unto our God kings & priests; & we shall reign
upon the earth. And I beheld & heard the voice of many angels
round about the throne & the ( living creatures) & the elders: &
the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand,
thousands of thousands (myriads of myriads); saying with a
loud voice, worthy is the lamb (lambkin) that was slain, to
receive power, & riches, & wisdom & strength, & honour &
glory, & blessing (as a result). And every creature which is in
heaven, & on the earth, & under the earth, & such as are in the
sea, & all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing & honour,
& glory, & power be unto Him that sittest on the Throne, & unto
the Lamb for ever & ever. Rev 5:6b- 13. KJV.
When the Lamb stands up & the seals are loosed, a people with
the Lamb nature will come forth, & having insight into the,
ministry of perfection, they will go forth as the Lamb company
bringing reconciliation to the entire creation.
