The beast realm, in the natural, represents the flesh that we were lowered into with all its beastly desires and attitudes and strengths.
Remember how God told Noah that he intended to make an end of all flesh? Then why did he tell righteous Noah to take every living thing of all flesh into the ark with him, the clean and the unclean beasts? If he was going to make an end of all flesh, why didn’t he leave the animals to all drown in the flood? That’s because this was going to serve as a living object lesson of the complete redemption of us spirit, soul, body and also the complete redemption of all creation. That ark was 300 cubits long and 3 stories high of the manifested word of God given to Noah.
The beasts all found a place of deliverance or salvation just as Noah and his family did. The rising waters of the flood represented the spirit glory that was to inundate the earth swallowing up all in its glory. And Noah and his family and all the beasts in the ark with him represented everything that we are body soul and spirit being pushed above all earthly dimensions by the rising of the spirit waters within.
Then remember how Peter was instructed to eat all of these beasts in his vision and how he protested because he didn’t want to defile himself with what was unclean? But the truth of the matter was that he had already done so, when he took on a fleshly form.
But the Lord instructed him that he could eat them after he had killed them. “Rise Peter, kill and eat.” Because when you eat an apple you don’t become an apple, the apple, instead, becomes you by transmutation.. So when the Spirit Man eats of the beastly realm or takes them into himself, they are transmuted into a higher form of Life. What was carni or meat is transmuted into spirit life.
So you might ask am I suggesting that we are to freely partake of all carnality? Yes and No!
“Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound. Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?” No, we are not to partake of the carnal without killing it first as the Lord told Peter.. And Yes, we are to eat it when it has been rendered lifeless. And how we do that is to see all men after the spirit and not after their flesh. “Don’t call common or unclean what I have cleansed.” “If one died for all, then all are dead.” You can only eat dead meat….LOL
So, if one died for all and all are dead….. if that is true, then it is equally true that if one is raised from the dead, then all are raised.” But for this heavenly truth to be translated from just a nice platitude we are going to have to be demonstrators of it. That is what I am hearing in my spirit about those who will not tell the world how wrong they are, but show them how right they can be. Salvation is not theoretical. In other words, we are not to just know this truth hypothetically.
Isaiah 11 gives us a good picture of how the animal kingdom within us will be transmuted. What once was part of the ‘wild’ kingdom will now be part of the ‘peaceful’ kingdom. Do these ‘animals’ lose their identity? In other words is the lion any less powerful? Is the leopard any less swift and cunning? The bear any less strong? The wolf any less swift-footed or crafty? No, their natures are just taken up a notch or transmuted to serve the spirit instead of trying to lead in place of the spirit. Every animal attribute is in reality an attribute of the spirit’s power and abilities within us. That’s why Isaiah shows us how they can feed together.
Isaiah 11
And there shall come forth a Shoot out of the stock of Jesse [David’s father], and a Branch out of his roots shall grow and bear fruit.
And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the reverential and obedient fear of the Lord.
And shall make Him of quick understanding, and His delight shall be in the reverential and obedient fear of the Lord. And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, neither decide by the hearing of His ears;
But with righteousness and justice shall He judge the poor, and decide with fairness for the meek, the poor and downtrodden of the earth; and He shall smite the earth and the oppressor with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
And righteousness shall be the girdle of His waist, and faithfulness the girdle of His loins.
And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatted domestic animal together and a little child (of such are the kingdom of God) shall lead them.
And the cow and the bear shall feed side by side; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
And the suckling child shall play over the hole of the asp, and the weaned child (mature one in Christ) shall put his hand on the adder’s den. (our mouth)
They shall not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.”
And on down a bit further in the chapter:
“…and they who vex and harass Judah from OUTSIDE or INSIDE shall be cut off….”
And Isaiah 65:25
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt or destroy in all My holy Mount [Zion], says the Lord.
The lion when used by the spirit KILLS CARNALITY - it does not carnally kill creation…..there is a vast difference in the two.
