The Second Ship
2 Timothy 2:19-21 KJVS
“Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. [20] But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. [21] If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.”
Purged to be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use.
Let’s look at those who are also destined to serve as vessels, that first must be purged to be meet for the master’s use (Proverbs Chapter 25:4).
Daniel 11:33 KJVS
“And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.”
In verse 33, of Daniel Chapter 11, they that understand among the many are the final remnant of the 7000 first fruits of the First World Age, the 232 Very Elect who will keep Christ in their vessel up to and throughout the five-month long hour of temptation.
From 1969 when the fifth trumpet sounded, up until the Woe of the Fifth Trumpet comes to pass, when the four winds are released, the final remnant which I believe are the 232 very elect will instruct many by planting Gods seeds of Truth. We are in the grace period of sealing, and the seeds of the Seal of God have and are already in the process of being planted in the 144,000.
”Yet they” as we also see in verse 33, are the 144,000 who will fall by Satan’s sword, flame and captivity along with the most of Christianity at the Woe of the Sixth Trumpet.
Daniel 11:34 KJVS
“Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.”
When they fall, that is to say stumble into Satan’s deception with the rest of the third (who are Christians) they will be helped by what the Holy Spirit will say through the 232 very elect (the church of Philadelphia) when they let down their nets during their delivering up.
Daniel 11:35 KJVS
“And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.”
By the testimony of the Holy Spirit through the 232 very elect which I believe symbolizes the first ship in Luke chapter 5, which are the church of Philadelphia, the 144,000 (the church of Smyrna) will be purged and made white through their repentance, and will be ready from that point on, to assist their partners, who are part of that same Heavenly calling as it is spoken about in Hebrews Chapter 3.
Hebrews 3:1 KJVS
“Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;”
Purged as vessels of honor, they will sail forth in the deep which symbolizes the deepness of Satan during the Woe of the Sixth Trumpet, and at the Holy Spirits words (not theirs) will assist the first ship by also letting down their nets.
With this understanding, let us continue where we left off from Part One of this study when the first ship which again, I believe, represents the 232 very elect (the church of Philadelphia) lets down their net at Christ word.
Luke 5:5-6 KJVS
“And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. [6] And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.”
At that point when the delivering up begins, the net will begin to fill, thus bringing many back (and those who never had) to salvation through the words of the Holy Spirit.
Luke 5:7 KJVS
“And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.”
The 144,000 vessels that are purged which are the church of Smyrna, and made meet for the master’s use, that are partners (partakers) of the same Heavenly calling, will assist the church of Philadelphia to bring many in and many back to the fold of our Heavenly Fathers flock before the Seventh Trumpet sounds.
In the book of Jeremiah these fishers who will also become hunters are mentioned.
Jeremiah 16:16 KJVS
“Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.”
These fishers which symbolize these two ships (Philadelphia and Smyrna) spoken about in Luke Chapter 5, are those our Heavenly Father have predestined to be part of a Heavenly calling to be used as vessels of honor, in their respective time frame of service. Although many with freewill who will hearken to what the Holy Spirit will say during that time will also be used, however this study specifically focuses on the ones who are predestined for that service.
These predestined servants will then at the Woe of the Seventh Trumpet, upon the TRUE Christ return, join the rest of the Zadok who are the armies that were in Heaven (Revelation chapter 19: 11-15) that return with Christ, in hunting those who don’t come out of the depths of Satan deception before that deception is destroyed upon the TRUE Christ arrival.
They will go from fishing during the woe of the sixth trumpet, to hunting during the Woe of the Seventh Trumpet, to hunt those souls who are in the dens and rocks of the mountains, using and distributing Christ millennial correction throughout that thousand-year period, so they may live!
This is of course the opposite of those who hunt souls to destroy many in Eziekiel Chapter 13 verses 17 through 19). Different topic different time.
Moving on.
Luke 5:8-9 KJVS
“When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. [9] For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:”
Astonished I’m certain, with the first ship in this particular part of this chapter of Luke representing a type for the 232 very elect.
Luke 5:10 KJVS
“And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.”
Also, the 144,000 will be astonished, for it will be not of them, but by the power of the Holy Spirit that will also let down their net for a draught.
From the time those who are of the church of Philadelphia which are the 232 very elect who were chosen like the rest of the 7000 Zadok from the first world age, are called by Christ in each of their individual lifetimes to serve , they forsook and will forsake (if they haven’t done so already),all that they thought they knew , and followed Him who is way the truth and the life, Jesus Christ.
Also, the church of Smyrna that are the 144,000 who were also chosen from the first world age to receive the seeds of the Seal of God, will do the same when those seeds come to fruition by what the Holy Spirit will say through the Church of Philadelphia.
For a moment the 144,000 will forsake Christ, and they will repent and be purged and made white and will forsake that darkness they will stumble into and will follow the Heavenly calling that they and their partners were destined for.
In conclusion let’s look at Mark Chapter 13.
Mark 13:1-4 KJVS
“And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here ! [2] And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. [3] And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, [4] Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?”
Christ will go on in Mark Chapter 13 to give us the Seals of God that correspond to Revelation Chapter 6, and we can see who asked Jesus when shall these things be? And what sign when all these things shall be?
Peter, James, John and Andrew.
Two Ships, vessels of honor, which I believe are symbolically used (specifically in Luke Chapter 5) for these partakers (partners) of a Heavenly calling.
These are my beliefs, my walk with our Heavenly Father through Christ, study to show thyself approved.
The End.
