By Daniel Yordy - August 28, 2010

In a recent letter, I made the suggestion that the word God speaks, including the prophetic word, has a fulfillment on several different levels, both in the realms of physical nature, in the realms of the spiritual heavens, and as a symbol, as the Spirit wishes to use it in the present moment.

Some expressed the thought that I was missing it by seeing any kind of fulfillment of the prophetic word in the natural world. I think this is because have never seen clearly how all things exist.

When we were first born again, we had little understanding of the realms of spirit. As we grew up in the Lord, we began to hear His voice. Great emphasis was placed on hearing His voice and obeying what He speaks. Yet this level of walking with God was still a separation from Him and impossibly in-part.

Now we realize that the next level of relationship is that of seeing. "We shall be like Him for we shall see Him as He is." This is not some future event when He appears in natural form. Rather, it is the transformation of our minds from hearing to seeing.

And thus the Scripture says, "I heard of you by the hearing of the ears, but now my eyes have seen . . ."

Our eyes are opening and we are seeing that which has always been true.

All things are of God; all things exist inside the realm of Spirit. All things live and move and have their being in God. Even evil spirits gain their existence and power operating inside the realm of spirit as extended to them by God. They serve only His ultimate purpose.

When I wrote that some of the symbolism in the revelation of Jesus Christ given to John on Patmos has a fulfillment both in nature as well as a fulfillment in the spirit realms, I was still seeing these things as slightly separate occurrences.

They are not.

My eyes and yours are opening like never before. I see with an inner knowing the realms of spirit. Granted, I see as a baby sees, yet I see. A month ago I did not see, except by occasional glimpses. Now I find that I see all the time. In saying that, I do not set myself above anyone in any way. Rather, I am sharing with you that the door into the heavens has opened for all of us.

The times have changed. Open your eyes and see as God sees. See by the perception of your spirit. You are able to do so.

The Spirit of God is like the air or the ocean - which are two pictures we have of the medium that contains all forms of life. All physical life exists in one or the other. Birds and fish typify this reality best since they move entirely in air/water. In exactly the same way, all things that exist move about in the Spirit of God. Just as all creatures draw breath from air/water, so all created beings, both in heaven and on earth, draw their continual breath of existence from the Spirit of God.

All birds/fish move about by pushing against the air/water. Even the tiniest movement of either sends ripples and currents flowing outward far beyond the immediate reach of the creature. In exactly the same way, every created being in heaven and earth moves about in the context of spirit and every movement sends ripples throughout the realm of spirit.

But we never think of Spirit as a "force." It seems at times to exist in that way, but spirit is always a Person - the Holy Spirit.

All sin is committed in the Holy Spirit - NOT by the Holy Spirit - NO! But you can't go somewhere else to commit sin or cruelty. There is no where else to be. If any created being were to find itself where Spirit did not exist, they also would not exist.

David said, "If I make my bed in "hell" (Sheol), behold You are there." Nothing and no one is ever separate from God. God is always close, up front and personal. We cannot sin except we draw the functions of life to sin from the Spirit in which we live and move and have our being.

In fact, all waste of fish and bird is carried away by the air/water in which they move. All evil entities or negative personal frequencies, exist only in the larger context of God. This is a puzzle, but reading through some of Annie Schissler's visions of reality in the heavens gives us some understanding of how this works. If you have not obtained her book of visions, I urge you to do so. It is the last booklet, "I Looked and I Saw Visions of God," that speaks the most clearly to me. You can find a link to her books on my website.

Now, here is another of the first things I see. There is not one thing that exists on the natural, lower level of expression or frequency that is not an extension of reality in the spiritual or heavenly realms.

Everything in the natural is simply a visible form of spiritual reality.

At the same time, everything in the heavens, everything in the spiritual realms, has a visible outworking in the material, physical world.

Nothing exists separate and disconnected. Nothing.

And the earth with the work God is doing upon it is the central focus of all things; it is the place where God is forming His sons, the ones through whom all creation is set free.

The "mark of the beast" exists fully in four ways all at the same time. First, it exists in the realm of spirit unrelated to time. This is a spirit, or a spiritual quality that sits upon all men through the history of this earth. However, humans are physical as well, and thus the spirit beastliness that sits upon them shows itself in many outward physical markings and ways of doing things. Those outward marks are directly connected to and are the visible expressions of the spiritual reality called the "mark of the Beast."

"And Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him."

This is the first "mark" or outward form of the Beast - manipulating and controlling, ruling over others by violence and by the threat of violence.

What is America's answer to every problem in modern society? Throw them in jail. Locking people up behind bars is almost the only solution any more to any difficulty in human life. This is a mark of the Beast, one of many.

From Cain striking Abel all the way to America's infatuation with keeping millions of people behind bars, so many of them for "made-up" crimes, you see the thread of the mystery of iniquity, of the spirit of the Beast manifesting outwardly in various outward forms, imposing control on others through various violent means.

You see the direct connection.

The lust to dominate (the Beast as a spiritual force) through various violent or subversive means (the Beast outwardly) to the voluntary submission of people to the dictates of power, (the outward marks) shows the direct connection between the reality in the heavens with the outward forms in the earth.

You cannot have a spiritual quality that does not have its expression on the physical plane. You cannot have something on the physical plane that does not come out of a spiritual quality in the heavens. Both the spiritual quality in the heavens and the outward physical marks in the earth are the same thing manifesting on two different levels. Nothing is separate or disconnected.

But there is a further reality that exists for all things spoken by God in the prophetic word. And Jesus is the prophetic word, "For the testimony (the witness) of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy." The revelation of Jesus Christ is a prophetic word, a word that calls those things that "be not" as though they are.

That reality is called "the fullness of times." God requires everything to come to its full reality, its full expression and form, its full position or potential. That is His nature, the nature of Spirit. All things hidden shall be made known; everything secret becomes visible; things whispered in the dark must be shouted upon the housetops.

Everything is revealed as it really and truly is.

The best example of "the fullness of times" is the blood of Christ. When God says, "The Lamb slain from before the foundation of the ages," He meant that the Blood of Christ exists in God in eternal form in all of its redemptive qualities and powers and is an integral part of who and what God is, separate from time or creation.

Then, as sin unfolded in the earth, so did the blood. Blood is implied in the acquisition of animal skins by which God clothed Adam and Eve, and it is shed in redemptive offering by Abel in verse 4 of human life after the garden.

That shedding of blood by Abel was the very blood of Christ manifesting in physical outward form in this world. Every offering of blood from the lamb offered by Abel to the lamb offered up in the temple of Herod as Jesus hung upon the cross was simply the outward physical form of the heavenly spiritual reality of Blood.

But here is what so few people seem to comprehend.

The Eternal Blood of Christ in the heavens AND every one of its physical manifestations upon the earth DID NOT satisfy God.

God required the Fullness of Times.

Before the fullness of times, the Blood began in the heavens and then revealed itself in the earth.

But in the fullness of times, God sent forth His Son -- and the most incredibly bizarre change occurred. The Blood began in the earth and then revealed itself in the Heavens.

Neither the Blood filled with all redemptive power in the heavens, nor its ongoing manifestation in the earth, the shed blood of lambs, of bulls, and of goats, COUNTED for God. God required physical human corpuscles, the life of the human body, falling into the physical dust of this earth out of which our physical bodies, our flesh, was formed.

Then, beyond all comprehension, that which began in the NATURAL was taken by the Lord Jesus as He ascended to the Father, which He then sprinkled before the throne upon the mercy seat in the heavens as the SPIRITUAL power of redemption.

And suddenly, at that moment, the BLOOD counted for God, and eternal redemption was extended to all creation.

In the fullness of times.

But the fullness of times is a spiritual reality that exists for everything. Everything that is in God, in the realm of Spirit, with all of its manifestation in the earth, the realm of physical matter, also has its own FULLNESS of Times.

I cannot know for certain, we can only wait and see, but I have the sense in my spirit that this day, this October of 2010, the dispensation, the age, the time period of the fullness of times is begun. It is the shortest of all God's created ages.

Let me repeat the pattern of the first "fullness of times," the 3 ½ year ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ, culminating in His ascension into the heavens 10 days before Pentecost, and beginning at the moment that John the Baptist lifted Him out of the waters of the Jordan into the fullness of the Spirit coming upon Him.

The Lamb was already slain in the eternal Being of God, that Blood of the Lamb was able to manifest itself all through human history in the form of the shed blood of sheep and bulls and goats. By that physical side of the heavenly blood, God could walk with man, He could dwell among them, in spite of the presence of sin.

But from the shed blood of the lamb offered by Abel to the shed blood of the lamb offered in the temple while Jesus hung upon the cross - all of it - was
