1. (Cont.) Repentance from dead works and faith towards God.
      When Luther saw that the "Just shall live by faith," it was like Samson being released from the "prison house"
      of the "dark ages." The Philistines / religion1 made "sport" (i.e. mocked Samson / the "Reformation." Judges.16 
       :24-25) They were confident that Samson (the Reformation) was no treat because his strength was gone and his 
      eyes were put out. (Judges.16:23-25) This is evident in the Council of Trent (1546 AD.) when the Roman Catholic  
      Church declared that Jerome's Revised Latin Vulgate was the Word of God, and rejected the Greek Text of
      Erasmus, and the truth the "Just shall live by faith." (Review Phase 1) This making sport (or mocking) has continued
      unto our present day.

       Note this recent "mocking" statement by the head of the Roman Catholic Church. (The Church of the spiritual decline and dark ages)
        "Pope Benedict XVI released the primacy of the Roman Catholic Church, approving a document...that says other Christian communities are
        either defective or not true churches and Catholicism provides the only true path to salvation."
        (The Register-Guard INTERNATIONAL Wednesday, July 11, 2007 AD. p.A14)

        What they (the Philistines / the Church of the "dark ages") did not realize was that God had purposed to use
      Samson / His Church in spite of his short comings. (Judges.13:1-5, Eph.3:1-12, Heb.6:16, 2Tim.2:13, Num.23:19,
       Jam.1:17) They failed to see that his hair (of his separation unto God, his strength. Num.6:1-12 2) was growing  
      back!
                

2. The doctrine of Baptism. (Water Baptism) 
      The second lock of Samson's hair. This truth was lost to the Church in the 2nd.century and replaced (cut off)
      with infant baptism by the Roman Catholic Church, (Delilah) and practiced by the Lutheran, Episcopal and 
      Presbyterian Churches until the Ana-baptists, (The re-baptizers) about three centuries later. (Luther had not yet
      understood Water Baptism by immersion) Now the Spirit of God was again, calling out a people from a people
      and opening  their understanding (1Cor.2:1-14, Luke.24:44-45, Heb.13:8, John.16:13-15) to the truth of Water
      Baptism by immersion. (Matt.28:19, Acts.2:38, Acts.8:14-16, 37-38; 10:47; 19:5) 
      a. This compares with the "Red Sea" in the blueprint
              Review God's Purpose and Plan, Page 1 of 3  "Note Peters message on the Day of  Pentecost. #1-4
      b.  Denominations that formed
            Out of this restored truth came, the Baptist, Methodist, Evangelicals, Church of God and the Christian
            Missionary Alliance. However God was not finished building according to the pattern. The pattern calls
            for entering into the land and the building of Solomon's Temple, where the Church in the wilderness would
            "move no more." (Gen.12:1; 15:13-21, Deut.12:1-12, 1Chron.17:1-15; 22:1-19, 2Chron.5:1-14, Ezk.10:18,
              John.2:18-20, Matt.17:1-5; 23:36, 1Cor.6:19-20, Eph.2:20-22)
            _________________________________________________________________________________

            Note: Now there is division (or two groups, camps) that have developed in the restoration of the Church.
            (The "called out ones") There are those that accepted "Justification by faith,"and another group / camp, that
            accept "Justification by faith and Water Baptism by immersion." The "Justification by faith camp" fought against
            the "Justification and Water Baptism camp" just as the "Catholic camp" fought against Luther. 

            Today, in any City, these two camps (denominations) can be seen continuing in the truth that God gave
            them, but refusing to embrace the next truth. This is why there are so many different Churches today.

            Note how the restoration of truth is growing! God has not finished!
 
        In the "ensample" (1Cor.10:1-11 / blueprint) Israel was brought out of Egypt, to be brought into the
              Land (Deut.6:23)  The Red Sea was not the end of Israel's journey, and neither is the truth of Water Baptism! 
            There is the "mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." (Phil.3:1-14) This is the Church today
            coming into the fulfillment of the Land, to the ultimate purpose, Solomon's Temple. (Gen.12:1; 15:1-21,
              Deut,12:1-12, 1Chron.17:1-15; 22:1-19, 2Chron.5:1-14, Ezk.10:18, Matt.23:36, John.2:18-20, Matt.17:1-5,
              Eph.1:22-23; 2:20-22)
         
            For the next three centuries (1500's -1800's) there were two Bibles. The Roman Catholic Bible which comes from the Revised Latin
               Vulgate of Jerome's, and the Protestant Bible which comes from the Greek Textus of Erasmus.(The Textus Receptus, the text of the
               Reformation, the text that the restoration of the Church was based on) Review Phase 1. 

            Compare this period of time (1500 - 1800's) with the Church at Philadelphia, (Rev.3:7-13) and the Parable of the Pearl of Great
               Price. (Matt.13:45-46)

                   
            Note: When the writer of Hebrews says "doctrine of baptisms" (Heb.6:2)  he was speaking of the baptism in
            Water and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. (Matt.28:19, Acts.2:38; 8:16, 36-37; 9:18; 10:48, Acts.19:1-6)  

3. The doctrine of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. 
      The third lock of Samson's hair. In the next century, in a place called Azusa St. there were people in the U.S.A.3
      began to hunger and thirsted after righteousness. (Matt.5:6, John.7:37-38) God honored their hunger (Matt.5:6,
       John.7:37) and poured out His Spirit upon them as He did at Pentecost and restored of this truth which included the
      Gifts of the Spirit and the structure of the Church, as the Body of Christ. (1Cor.12-14)  "National and international    
      expansion...resulted from the Azusa Street revival that began in 1906 at the Apostolic Faith Gospel Mission at 312
      Azusa Street in Los Angeles...This building on Azusa Street became a great spiritual center that for many years
      attracted rich and poor, blacks and whites, Anglos and Latinos, as well as many preachers whose own ministry
      had become staid."4
      a. This compares with "Mt. Sinai"5 in the  blueprint
           Review God's Purpose and Plan, Page 1 of 3  "Fifty (50) days after Passover they arrived at Sinai. #1-4 
      b. Denominations that formed
           Out of this restored truth are the Assembly of God, The Pentecostal Holiness, The Four Square Churches
           and the United Pentecostal Churches.
           ___________________________________________________________________________________

          Now there are even more divisions in the Restored Church. The previous two camps (Lutheran,
          Episcopal, Presbyterian, Baptists, Methodist, Church of God, and the Christian Missionary Alliance) now join
          together to fight against the new visitation of God, the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. "Pentecostalism grew
          throughout the 20th century in North America, even though it was dismissed by mainstream denominations and
          denounced as heresy by conservative Evangelical groups that rejected the notions of faith healing and
          speaking in tongues."6  Jesus said He would bring division. (Matt.10:34-39) His presence causes people to
          reject or except His visitation.

          Remember: The Church in the wilderness was NOT to stop at Mt. Sinai, (Pentecostal movement) because
          they had not reached "the place" (Deut.12:1-12) where they would be planted and "more no more." (1Chron.17:9)

       God was not finished restoring His Church!

            
     
4. Next: The doctrine of the "Laying on of hands." (Heb.6:1-3)  
      The fourth lock of Samson's hair.This truth was realized in Canada (1948 AD.) by another group of God's
      people, that hungered and thirsted after righteousness. At this same time came the understanding of the apostolic
      and prophetic ministries and their vital role in the last day Church. Paul told Timothy to "Neglect not the gift that is
      in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of hands of the presbytery."(1Tim.4:14)  The
      "Laying on of hands" imparts, (Lev.16:21, Acts.19:6) identifies, (Deut.34:19, Acts.6:1-7) consecrates, (Num.8:12,
       Acts.13:3) and sets members in the Body of Christ as it pleases God. (1Cor.12:1) It also is used in healing,
       (Mark.16:8-20) for  blessing (Matt.19:15) and in being filled with the Holy Ghost. (Acts.19:6) This truth was
      replaced by the "Church of the decline," (approx.130 AD) when the wisdom man set people in places of authority
      as it pleased them.
      a. This compares with Israel being placed around the Tabernacle in the "blueprint."
            (Review Page 1 of 3 "What was in the Land")
      b. There have been no denominations formed
           Out of this restored truth. Instead there developed independent Churches, (Church Families, Network of
           Churches9) with Christ as the  head of each of these Churches. (Eph.1:22-23, Col.1:18)               
           __________________________________________________________________________________

           Note: Our generation is now living in the reality (fulfillment) of the "ensample" (the type, 1Cor.10:1-11,
            Rom.15:4) from Sinai until the time of David's Tabernacle, from 1906-200_?5 AD. (Review  God's Purpose and
               Plan, "What was in the Land? What was the Church in the Wilderness about to enter into?" Page.1 of 3) 

           This History has not yet written in our Encyclopedia's or History books, because we are presently living this
           portion of the blueprint.
       
               Sinai was NOT the end of the journey! God was NOT finished leading Israel. (Deut.6:23)
                        God is a finisher! (Luke.14:25-33)
                        "Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in 
                            you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." (Phil.1:6, Eph.5:21-33)

                      

There was a new thing that was about to happen!
Since 1906 AD. the "present truth"10  (2Peter.1:12) of Pentecostalism (Sinai) carried the Church 7 for the next 60-70 years. This was illustrated (or blueprinted) by the "Church in the wilderness," after they left Sinai until the time of king David, (Num.10:13 - 1Chron.13) who ushered in a new present truth.10 (1Chron.28:19) Up to this point the Ark of the Covenant was only available to the high priest once a year, but now it is being made available by king David in time of need. This was the "Tabernacle of David." This was the  NEW present truth! 
(Review: God's Purpose and Plan,"What was the Tabernacle of David?" page 1 of 3) 

This would stretch everyone of the in the "Sinai / Tabernacle of Moses movement" of David's time, just as it did for the Pentecostal movement. (1906-70's?)

1. This NEW present truth was the "Charismatic Movement" 
      This was where God poured out His Spirit on the Denominations of the Church world, making His presence
      available to those outside of the Pentecostal movement. (i.e. The Sinai movement) Unfortunately this visitation
      went the way of all previous moves rather than "coming out from among" (2Cor.6:14-18) the denominations, people
      stayed and mixed in the Charismatic visitation with the "philosophy...vain deceit and the tradition of men" (Col.2:8)
      and made the Word of God of "none effect." (Matt.15:6,9)  God's intention was to incorporated the truths of 
      Pentecost with the new present truth, not to go backwards and put new wine into old wine skins. 
      a. In the "ensample" (or the "blueprint) 
           David did not ignore or do away with the Tabernacle of Moses. (1Chron.13:3-14; 15:1-29, 1Chron.16:37-43; 23:26,
             30) It was still needed. The Spirit of God will NEVER deny the previous truth that has been restored from the 
           Reformation until our present day! God always goes from "glory to glory." (2Cor.3:18) "Line upon line"
             (Isa.28:9-11)
      b. At this same time of "refreshing" came the "pattern" of music and worship (Acts.3:19) 
           The Tabernacle pattern was expanded given to king David, by God, "in writing with His hand upon" him.
             (1Chron.29:18, 2Chron.29:25-27) This was the pattern for music and worship for the House of God from David
           to the Cross. After the Cross, the apostle Paul confirmed this pattern for the New Testament Church. (1Cor.12:26,
             Eph.5:19, Col.3:16 "bring a Psalm")
      c. For the last 40+ years, there has been a revelation of  music and worship
           This has NEVER been seen in the Church since the Reformation. This matches the pattern (blueprint).
           The revelation of Worship did NOT come until king David. The only reference to a song was Moses,
             (Exod.15:1-21) and Miriam who danced with her timbrel, danced and sang. (Exod.15:20-22)  There was
           nothing until David.    
                          

To Summarize: The Reformation until now
Almost five hundred years may seem like a long time to restore the Church, compared to our lifespan of 70 years. (Psa.90:10) However we must remember that "one day is with the Lord as a thousand years," (2Peter.3:8, Psa.90:4) making our lifespan of seventy plus years about two to three hours before the Lord. No wonder  Peter wrote "For all flesh is as grass and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away." (1Peter.1:24) Don't be as the "scoffers" in Peter's day, who said, "since the fathers fell asleep, (died) all things continue as they were from the beginning.." (2Peter.3:1-9) They made the mistake of measuring God's "time table" by themselves (2Cor.10:12) and their father's generation. God's "timetable" is far greater than our generation or the generations before us.

                            A Review of the Truths Restored

                     

1. Repentance from dead works and faith towards God (Heb.6:1) 
      a. Martin Luther / Just shall live by faith 1517 AD
         From this move of God there developed the Lutheran, Episcopal and Presbyterian denominations. Some
           out of these Churches, stopped here and did not allow the Spirit of God to lead them into all truth concerning
           the doctrine of Christ. (Heb.6:1-3, John.16:12, 1Cor.2:9-14)
     b. The compares with Israel being set free by the Passover Lamb
           In the blueprint (pattern, model, sketchy outline), God's purpose was not to stop there, (Gen.12:1; 15:13-21, 
             Exod.1-12, Deut.6:23; 12:1-12, 1Chron.17:1-15; 22:1-19) but to come into the Land promised to Abraham.
      c. At my salvation, I an crucified with Christ my "Passover"(1Cor.5:7-8, Exod.12:1-15)
           I am not to stop there! God has a purpose for our lives to conform us to the image of Christ, (Rom.8:28-28,
             Eph.4:11-16)  which is foreshadowed by entering the Land and Solomon's Temple.
       d. The first lock of Samson's hair

2. The doctrine of Baptisms (Water Baptism)
      a. The Ana-Baptists (The baptizers by immersion) 1800's AD
            From this move of God, there developed the Baptists, Evangelicals, Methodist and Christian Missionary
            Alliance Churches. Some out of these Churches, stopped here and did not allow the Spirit of God to lead them 
            into all truth concerning the doctrine of Christ. (Heb.6:1-3, John.16:12, 1Cor.2:9-14)
      b. This compares with the Red Sea
           In the blueprint (pattern, model, sketchy outline), God's purpose was not to stop there, (Gen.12:1; 15:13-21, 
             Exod.1-12, Deut.6:23; 12:1-12, 1Chron.17:1-15; 22:1-19) but to come into the Land promised to Abraham.
      c. When I was Water Baptized, I was buried with Christ (Rom.6:1-6)
           This buried all the old crucified life as the Red Sea did to the Egyptians. This was not the end! 
           There was still more!
     d.  The second lock of Samson's hair

3. The doctrine of Baptisms (Holy Spirit)
      a. The Pentecostal Movement 1906 AD
           From this move of God there developed the Assembly of God Churches, the Pentecostal Holiness, The Four
           Square Churches. Some have stopped here and not allowed the Spirit of God to lead them into all truth 
           concerning the doctrine of Christ. (Heb.6:1-3, John.16:12, 1Cor.2:9-14)
     b. This compares with Mt. Sinai  
           In the blueprint (pattern, model, sketchy outline), God's purpose was not to stop there, (Gen.12:1; 15:13-21, 
             Exod.1-12, Deut.6:23; 12:1-12,  1Chron.17:1-15; 22:1-19) but to come into the Land promised to Abraham.
     c.  When we are Baptized in the Holy Ghost 
         I was resurrected with Christ to walk in newness of  life. (Rom.6:1-6; 8:1-11)  This was still not the end! 
           There is still more!
     d.  The third lock of Samson's hair

4. The Laying on of hands
       a. The Latter Rain / Understanding of the Eph.4:11 Ministries and the Laying on of
          hands and Prophecy
             From this move of God there developed many fellowships, independent local Churches with no Denominational
             headquarters.
       b. This compares with Israel being being around the Tabernacle
             Some have stopped here and not allowed the Spirit of God to lead them into all truth concerning the doctrine of
             Christ.(Heb.6:1-3, John.16:12, 1Cor.2:9-14) 
        c. This is being placed by God in the Body of Christ (1Cor.12:18) 
             This is still not the end!
       d. The fourth lock of Samson's hair
        ______________________________________________________________________________________

        At the same time the truths of Repentance from dead works and faith towards God, the doctrine of Baptisms
        and the Laying on of hands were being restored, the Church of the "spiritual decline and dark ages" (the Lord's of
        the Philistines) were making "sport" (mocking) God's purpose. (Samson / Church. (Judges.16:23-29) The evidence
        is in the Council of Trent (1546 AD.) and the introduction of a new Greek text (1881 AD.) to mock the Church of the
        Reformation. (Review Phase 1) U

        Unfortunately some of the "reformation" have "mingled themselves with the people of those lands..."(Ezra.9:2)   
        They have not remained separate unto God. They have "turned aside (Judges.14:8) to touch, taste (Col.2:21)
        and look upon the vain deceit, philosophy and traditions of men." (Col.2:8)

        The Church of the "dark ages" failed to recognize (1Cor.2:1-14) this restoration. (i.e. Samson's hair of his
        separation unto God Num.6:1-6, Col.2:21, 1Cor.6:15-20, 2Cor.6:14-18) was growing back. They failed to recognize
        that he had been "set ... between the  pillars ...upon which the house (of Dagon, i.e. the "god of this world"-
         2Cor.4:4, 1John.2:16) stood."- Judges.16:22, Judges.16:26-29) 

        This would eventually would bring about their defeat. (Gen.3:15, Col.2:15 , Rom.16:20,
         Rev.4:1-2; 12:1-17)

        The Church, like Samson shall fulfill it's destiny and overcome and destroy our adversary (Lucifer, serpent, devil,
        Satan) when we come to end of ourselves. (Judges.16:28-31)  
 
         "So the dead which he (Samson) slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his
       life." (v.30 / Rom.6:1-11) The same will be true for the Church. Up to now the Church has been like
       Samson, experience a victory here and there, but entangled with the affairs of this life choking our
       spiritual life. (We are like Laodicea - Rev.3:14-22)
         ___________________________________________________________________________

        These next three truths, 5. The Resurrection of the dead. The fifth lock of Samson's hair . 6.  Eternal Judgment. 
       The sixth lock of Samson's hair and 7. Going on to Perfection. The seventh lock of Samson's hair. These all have 
       to do with laying down ourselves. Paying the "full price." Taking up our Cross and following Christ. Not my will but    
       thine be done.

       These are all foreshadowed in the "ensample" (type) of Solomon's Temple
