Many Things on Earth Are Made According to the Pattern of Heaven

Over the past period, our understanding of the spiritual realm has been further enhanced, and we have discovered images of animals. The earliest we saw was the serpent, followed by dragons, wolves, horses, and many similar-looking animals. Sometimes we even saw crabs and scorpions. When we shared this, it caused a lot of confusion among the brothers and sisters, so I will share with you the mysteries of this spiritual animal world.

First, I want to talk about the serpent. In the Garden of Eden, God created many animals. If you look carefully at the Bible, you will find that the serpent was the most cunning. The serpent could also speak; now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. When we read this passage, we find that the serpent could speak to Adam and Eve. How could this serpent in the Garden of Eden deceive Adam and Eve? Moreover, the Bible says that it was more crafty than any of the wild animals. That is to say, besides the serpent, there were many other living creatures.

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” (Genesis 3:1)

When Adam and Eve were created, they communicated directly with God. God is a spirit, and they were spiritual living beings. We do not know whether the serpent they saw in the Garden of Eden was a real serpent or an earthly serpent. However, we are very certain that the living creatures created by God should be earthly creatures. Although Adam was a spiritual living being, he could directly communicate with God face to face, talk to God, and at the same time see earthly creatures.

Isn't it surprising that a serpent can talk to humans? What exactly dwells inside the serpent? Later, we discovered that it was the ancient serpent, also called Satan, also called the dragon, with many names. Can we imagine what relationship the serpent created by God has with the fallen Satan in heaven? Isn't it very interesting? God created the serpent, and the spirit of Satan, an angel, descended upon the serpent. This is my bold speculation.

Is this actually the case? In fact, it is. We see in the Bible the four living creatures. In heaven there are four living creatures: one head is an eagle, one is a lion, one head is an ox, and one is the face of a man. We wonder: Did these four living creatures already exist when God created the earthly creatures? In fact, these four living creatures existed long ago.

Later, there was something in the temple called the Ark of the Covenant, and on top of the Ark was a cherub, a creature with two wings. In the Book of Isaiah, we also see cherubim, with several wings flying. Can we also infer that the earthly eagle is made according to the eagle in the spiritual realm, the earthly man is made according to the image of God, and the earthly serpent is also made according to the serpent in the spiritual realm? We can also deduce that things on earth are made according to the pattern of heaven. Everyone should think carefully about this statement.

When Moses built the tabernacle, God revealed the tabernacle in the spiritual realm to Moses and asked him to build one according to it. The temple built by David and Solomon was built by God revealing the heavenly pattern to David and Solomon and asking them to build it according to the heavenly pattern. The church we are talking about now is built according to the heavenly pattern. Many things on earth are made according to the pattern of heaven. When we say this, many things become very interesting.

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. From this passage, we can see that besides the serpent, there are many other things, such as weasels and foxes that we talk about today. In this case, can we boldly speculate that there are many things in the Bible that give us reason to say that things on earth are made according to the pattern of heaven? So, what is the relationship between the earthly weasel and the heavenly weasel? In fact, there should be a relationship.

We Must Continuously Understand the Spiritual World Through the Word of God

There is such a passage in the scripture:

And God spoke all these words: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. “You shall have no other gods before me. “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. (Exodus 20:1-6)

You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. This matter is definitely a spiritual matter. You shall not carve or worship images of things that fly in the sky, walk on the earth, or swim in the water.

We ponder: Why do people carve these things? Don't you think it's very interesting? Because behind these things there is a spirit that drives people to do these things. People carve these things and then worship them. After worshiping them, miraculous things will happen.

Do not think that these idols are nothing. No, there is a spirit operating behind them. In fact, there is a reason why these idols are worshipped in the world. The evil spirits behind the idols will drive people to carve things in the heavens, on the earth, and in the waters. This is definitely a spiritual matter. Some people think it does not matter, our God is the greatest. But that that is not how it is. Because after these things are carved, these spirits will attach to them, these spirits will affect people, and people will follow the evil spirits.

In the New Testament, when Jesus spoke of foxes and the like, he was referring to King Herod, and behind him was a spirit. We must clearly know that these things are clearly stated in the Bible, and they exist not only in the spiritual realm but also in the world. When we are praying, we will see this and that.

For example, when a person has a fever and no longer sweats, we often see reptiles, which are cold-blooded animals. Cold-blooded animals do not have the habit of sweating. When the spirit of a cold-blooded animal attaches to a person, the person's ability to sweat will be lost, and they will develop a fever.

Later, in the process of practice, we will find that evil spirits have various shapes. Especially a thing called a horse. Horses are mentioned a lot in the Bible. For example, do not go back to Egypt to buy horses, do not rely on chariots or horses, but only on the Spirit of the Lord God, can things be accomplished. These words are very interesting.

There are many such verses in the Bible:

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. (Psalm 20:7)

The horse is a very spiritual animal. Besides horses, there are also cattle, eagles, lions, and snakes, all of which are clearly mentioned in the Bible. The Bible records many unclean animals, such as pigs, dogs, and crows. Is the Bible wrong? No, it is all viewed from the perspective of the spiritual world.

Whether something is clean or unclean depends mainly on what it is in the spiritual realm. That is to say, the snake is unclean because it has the spirit of a snake. Many animals have spirits. For example, in the countryside, we can see weasels standing there, with their hands folded in prayer. The weasel is a very spiritual animal, and we gradually discover that the weasel has the spirit of a weasel.

Can everyone understand? The Bible does indeed talk about the appearance of these living creatures, and some are described in detail, such as the appearance of snakes. Weasels are not in the Bible. I have not seen weasels, but the Bible does have unclean things like vultures. In fact, weasels are among these unclean animals.

Before Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, we see that Moses performed the plagues of locusts and frogs. Are these things in the material world or the spiritual world? This is definitely in the spiritual world. The plagues of flies, locusts, lice, and frogs are closely related to the spiritual realm. This does not prove that weasels have anything to do with these things, only that we are gradually recognizing the spiritual realm.

Our understanding of the spiritual realm is still very limited. Once I saw a hydra, and I also found that these things are very similar to the monsters recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. So I went to read the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which talks about what mountains, what waters, and what kind of living creatures there are, such as nine-tailed foxes and hydras. I was very curious. When I was praying, the Spirit of God revealed to me not to understand the spiritual realm through the Classic of Mountains and Seas, because that is the world of demons, but to understand the spiritual world revealed by God through the Bible.

The spiritual world is very interesting. We must constantly understand the spiritual world through the Word of God. These things are not the most important. The most important thing is faith. Operate according to faith, and the Spirit of God will constantly reveal the spiritual world to us, allowing us to have a deeper understanding of the spiritual world. Having a deeper understanding of the spiritual realm is of great benefit to releasing those who are captive and oppressed.

I am saying so much to let everyone know that animals are very spiritual. Do not have any more doubts or entanglements about these things. If you see them, you see them, and if you do not see them, so be it. In fact, we did not see anything at first, and we still cast out demons. Later, God revealed some things, and we spoke them out, but these are not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the truth of God sets people free.

Since God has revealed these things, like Isaiah, Ezekiel, and John the Elder in the Bible, who saw the four living creatures and the wheels of fire, it did not affect us much after we read about them. We only know that these things exist in the spiritual realm, and that is all. We Christians must operate in faith, and through faith and the Word of God, set people free. This is the most important thing.

May God bless everyone!

In Numbers chapter 22, Balaam's donkey also opened its mouth to talk to Balaam, the Bible records 'The Lord opened the donkey’s mouth'. According to the pastor's logic of explaining the snake opening its mouth to talk to Eve, then it was also the Spirit of God that caused the donkey to open its mouth to speak. If we reason this way, the spirit behind the animal can be an evil spirit, or it can have the Holy Spirit, right?

问题:BMW - 在民數紀22章那裡,巴蘭的驢也開口 同巴蘭對話,聖經記載“耶和華叫驢開口”,按照牧師解釋蛇開口和夏娃對話的邏輯,那也是神的靈令到驢開口說話了。如果這樣推理,動物背後的靈可以是邪靈,也可以有聖靈,是嗎? 回复:这是很有趣的问题。但我研究的不够深,可以继续探索。这里的分享,只是一个见解,真的不敢说我们完全了解。
