Lorenzini sensibility

As you may know, animals are known for their keen sense of smell and sight. Sharks, however, possess a rather unusual set of organs that do more than smell or see. These organs, which very few animals possess, are known as the "ampullae of Lorenzini", and they act as electroreceptors that allow sharks to detect the electromagnetic fields emitted by other animals, as well as allowing them to perceive the electric fields produced by oceanic currents. As indicated on wikipedia.org, of all the animals who possess ampullae of Lorenzini, sharks are the ones with the greatest sensibility to electric fields, being able to sense as little as 5 nano-volts (i.e.- 5 billionths of a volt) for every centimetre of ampulla. The glycoprotein-based substance that the ampullae are made of allows them to transduce temperature changes into electrical currents, thus enabling the shark to detect temperature gradients in the water. Therefore, we can safely say that the shark's ampullae of Lorenzini are an example of a rather innovative sensory mechanism that allows sharks to have a deep perception of the atmosphere around them. This correlates with the remnant as they advance through the latter stages of their spiritual walk. Green-horse remnant believers become keenly perceptive of the spiritual atmosphere around them. As sacrificial watchmen, they can sense subtle changes in the air; they can sense when the kairos for the vision's fulfilment has come, and they can sense when the vision is slipping away. They can sense the oncoming of transcendental spiritual events. They can sense when the enemy is getting stronger and when the enemy is getting weaker. They can sense when those around them are close to falling, and they can sense what is holding others back from the fulfilment of their calling. This is why Jesus at green-horse Gethsemane could sense what was in the air and what was about to happen, even when those around Him failed to discern the transcendence of oncoming events. This is why green-horse Yeshua could sense that Simon Peter was about to crumble under the intimidating influence of the Amorite spirit despite of all of his bravado and loyalty in the natural. This is why He could sense that it was time for Judas Iscariot to take the bait and enable satan's intrusion into His inner circle, and He could sense that satan's door into Iscariot's life was prompted by the fact that Judas Iscariot was willing to be "dipped" into the anointing but was against being fully immersed in it. Judas was willing to die enough to enjoy the blessings of the anointing, but not enough to enable God's purposes on Earth. Judas Iscariot was OK with the death of baptism, as long as it did not involve a full immersion, i.e.- a full surrender unto God. This is why Jesus dipped a piece of bread and gave it to Judas just before he went off to hand Jesus over to the enemy.

"²⁶ Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. ²⁷ And after the sop satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly." (John 13:26-27)

The word "dipped" in verse 26 was translated from the Greek word bapto, which is different from the Greek word baptizo. As you may read at blueletterbible.org, a clear example of the fundamental difference between these 2 similar Greek words is a recipe for making pickles that was written by the Greek poet Nicander around 200 B.C. The recipe says that the raw pickle must first be "dipped" (bapto) into boiling water and then "baptised" (baptizo) in a vinegar solution. As can be seen, both words involve the immersion of the vegetable in a solution. However, the first word (bapto) is a temporary, in-and-out immersion; the second word (baptizo) produces a permanent change. Whereas bapto points to baptism in water, baptizo points to baptism in fire (John 3:3-5). Therefore, the dipped morsel that Yeshua gave to Judas was His way of signifying that Judas dipped himself into "Christianity" but was never interested in a permanent surrender. Judas was OK with an external cleansing in water, but was not interested in a burning transformation that would penetrate into his innermost being (like the pickle in vinegar). As a close study of Matthew 26:1-16 reveals, Judas Iscariot applied this approach not only to himself but to the world around him. Just like Judas Iscariot, the matriarchal Church is only interested in an external cleansing of the world, but is hostile towards the judgement-fire process required to forge a lasting transformation.

"²⁰ Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. ²¹ The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ" (1 Peter 3:20-21)

[Notice how the Holy Spirit equates Noah's flood with a water baptism of the world. Notice also how the Holy Spirit compares the baptism of water to a cleansing of the flesh. A literal baptism in water "puts away" the literal "filth of the flesh", and a spiritual baptism in water puts away the spiritual filth of the "flesh" to produce a "good conscience toward God", i.e.- a conscience that can stand before God without the shame of sin's stain on its external spiritual clothing (Zechariah 3:1-7).]

"⁶ Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: ⁷ But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. ⁸ But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. ⁹ The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. ¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. ¹¹ Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, ¹² Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? ¹³ Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. ¹⁴ Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. ¹⁵ And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; ¹⁶ As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. ¹⁷ Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. ¹⁸ But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen." (2 Peter 3:6-18)

[Notice how verse 13 declares that those in the Spirit are in the expectation of a new heavens and a new earth "wherein dwelleth righteousness". This contrasts with the believers in the matriarchal Church, who are longing for a new heavens and a new earth "wherein dwelleth happiness". Because the matriarchal believers' expectations are different from God's, they have a very hard time understanding and discerning God's plans and purposes. This is the reason why Peter then proceeds to speak of how so many are prone to not understanding Paul's wisdom along with Scripture in general, often distorting it for their own perdition (v15-16). Righteousness is forged through judgements, and judgements are released as wisdom is increased. This is why the deep wisdom of God is so reviled by matriarchal believers and why they are not at all interested in the transcendental transformation of the world wrought by God's fire baptism. Matriarchal believers do not want the God of Consuming Fire; they want the God of many goodies. Their "God" is satan claus, not the God of Israel.]

Those operating in the green-horse anointing develop the innovative sensory mechanism that enables them to discern very relevant movements in the spirit realm that most others are completely oblivious to. Since they are longing for the wrought-by-fire transformation of the world, their Lorenzini ampullae enable them to detect those with the spirit of Judas who are only interested in being "bapto-ed" but not "baptizo-ed", and they can sense when that treacherous spirit is taking over the atmosphere, just as the Lord did at Gethsemane. Green-horse believers understand that they must go through this betrayal once, but they realise that there is a deep problem when they are forced to go through it twice, for those who crucify the Son of God twice can only expect harsh judgement from God, along with the casting off of their calling (Hebrews 6:4-8).

The Cosimo enemy

The ampullae of Lorenzini were named after Stefano Lorenzini, who described them for the first time in 1678. Interestingly enough, there is very little about his life available on the Internet. The only significant titbit of information that I found was in a very brief article about him in the Italian version of Wikipedia. According to that article, Stefano Lorenzini fell into disgrace with the grand duke Cosimo III de' Medici, who locked him up along with his brother Lorenzo Lorenzini, a famous mathematician. As described on wikipedia.org, Cosimo III de' Medici was a rather legalistic and obstructively inept monarch, a man clearly imbued with the anti-David spirit of Saul, a repulsive fat man who made it his calling to actively persecute Jews. During his long reign of proactive mediocrity, he imposed tariffs, bureaucracy, and taxes that pushed Tuscany into stagnation and poverty. He also imposed foolish and unnecessary restrictions on education, banning any student, for example, from attending college outside of Tuscany and banning any professor in "his" university at Pisa from teaching "the philosophy of Democritus, or of atoms, or any save that of Aristotle". His educational measures were so counterproductive that a contemporary wrote that not a single man in Florence could read or write Greek, which contrasted with the days of the Republic of Florence, when Florence was a city-state independent from the rest of Tuscany. This only goes to show how knowledge has always been the worst enemy of the staunchly mediocre, for it constantly accuses them of being stagnant and incompetent. By the time Cosimo III died, this pathetic ruler had left Tuscany one of the poorest nations in Europe and with its treasury empty, which illustrates how the spirit of Saul is tied to long-term poverty and backwardness. Wherever you find chronic poverty, you can rest assured that the spirit of Saul is lurking somewhere in the background.

As all of the above clearly shows, this man was a man dead set against the spirit of innovative "David" wisdom. Therefore, it is no spiritual coincidence that such a man would imprison Stefano Lorenzini, a man so spiritually connected to the spirit of David wisdom.

Stefano

The fact that the name "Stefano" is the Italian version of the name "Stephen" is no spiritual coincidence either. As you may know, Stephen is also the name of a man spoken of in the book of Acts who was full of "irrefutable wisdom". The fact that his wisdom was irrefutable points to the fact that he was endowed with the David spirit of innovative wisdom, for it requires fresh and creative insights into existing information to produce arguments that even the "wisest" amongst "Saul's troops" cannot overcome.

"⁸ And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. ⁹ Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen. ¹⁰ And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake." (Acts 6:8-10)

As we have studied before, Stephen was eventually murdered and "temporarily silenced" by his enemies because he dared to speak word of harsh judgement against them. As a man endowed with the David spirit of innovative wisdom, he was an "exterminator" by nature, a man who was unwilling to "coexist" with the unrighteous status quo. Through his words and deeds, he was intent on pushing through and breaking down the unrighteous paradigm walls that were erected all around him, using the sledgehammer of God's fractal wisdom and judgements. Contrary to the matriarchal understanding of what "wisdom" is, a strong impartation of God's wisdom leads to conflict and to the release of judgements against all the folly around it that has been simplistically tolerated for so many centuries. God's wisdom does not turn you into a "peace-and-love" hippie guru who treasures "conflict avoidance" as the epitome of "wise behaviour". This does not mean, however, that God's wisdom turns you into an indiscriminate bulldozer that blindly razes everything around it. As you grow in God's wisdom, your understanding becomes more and more intricate. You begin to discern subtle defects and qualities that others do not detect. You begin to deeply abhor the defects that you discern and to love and value the good qualities that you discover. You therefore begin to issue more nuanced judgements that are calibrated by the full spectrum of reality, and, as long as you do not lose your "first love", you become an agent for both the cleansing of the atmosphere around you and the enabling of all the hidden potential that surrounds you.

As you may know, Stephen's death was instrumental in the eventual conversion of Saul into Paul (Acts 7, 9). Therefore, it is no coincidence that Paul received the impartation of apostolic wisdom that he did. As Saul was standing with the mantles of Stephen's murderers at his feet (Acts 7:58), he was unwittingly guarding one extra mantle: the mantle of Stephen's anointing, the mantle of the David spirit of innovative wisdom. Even though he did not pick up that mantle immediately, it was suddenly heaped upon him on the road to Damascus, and he was turned from a man with the anti-innovative spirit of Saul into a man imbued with the David anointing of innovative wisdom. Saul had collaborated with the men who murdered green-horse Stephen and sent him to 5th-seal hibernation. Therefore, the Lord sent Saul through 3 days of "Sheol hibernation" in the darkness of blindness (Acts 9:9), after which a wary Ananias came to complete the mantle impartation by laying hands of him (Acts 9:13-18), just as a Samuel wary of Saul came to David to anoint him (1 Samuel 16:2-13).

Stephen's spiritual presence in the midst of this prophetic word is a sad prophetic omen of what is currently taking place in America's (and the world's) spiritual atmosphere. Even though a Stephen-type sacrificial death was an inevitable part of God's restoration process, the American Church has clung so staunchly to its tradition-centric ministerial spirit of Saul that it is thrusting the David-spirit remnant into a deeper and wider pit of Stephen-type death, thereby sealing the latter-rain outbreak shut for yet another generation.

The maths connection

The fact that Stefano Lorenzini's brother, a famous mathematician at the time, was imprisoned along with Stefano is no coincidence either. As the famous mathematician and scientist Carl Friedrich Gauss once said, mathematics is the "queen of the sciences". This is due to the fact that mathematics provides the language and framework for all the other sciences. All the major innovative advances in science have required an initial breakthrough in pure mathematics in order to formulate and advance them. Einstein, for example, required the breakthrough of Riemannian geometry to formulate his general theory of relativity, and quantum physicists required Galois Theory to advance their science. Thus, it is safe to say that there is a strong connection between mathematics and the spirit of innovative David wisdom.

{If you want to read a little more on the relevance of mathematics in innovative thinking, we recommend a very informative paper posted on dpmms.cam.ac.uk. If you are interested in the history of mathematics, we also recommend an interesting article posted on fabpedigree.com.}

Different people may give different answers to the question of who the "greatest mathematician of all time" is, but this writer would dare to argue that the greatest mathematician of all time is Carl Friedrich Gauss, who is known in maths circles as the "prince of mathematicians". The spirit of abstract innovation is clear throughout Gauss's work, a work that is impressive not only because of its revolutionary influence on abstract mathematics but also for its transcending influence in many practical fields, including statistics, geodesy, geophysics, electromagnetism, astronomy, and even optics (as indicated on wikipedia.org). Just as with so many people with the "David spirit of innovative wisdom", Gauss had the influence of a "Joseph the protector" who helped enable his manifestation. Gauß grew up the son of poor working-class parents, which made the manifestation of his talent more difficult, given the relatively low social mobility of the time. Even so, Gauss's talent, which became evident from his childhood, attracted the attention of the Duke of Braunschweig, who sent him to what is now known as the Braunschweig University of Technology, and later to the University of Göttingen.

Interestingly enough, the University of Göttingen was founded by King George II of Great Britain, a man whose life betrays a strong connection to the David spirit of innovative wisdom. As indicated on wikipedia.org, he was the first British king who allowed Parliament the freedom to exercise independent government over Britain, thus paving the way for the rise of the current Parliamentary government system in place in the UK to this day. Interestingly enough, it was for George II's coronation that the German composer Handel was commissioned to write 4 new anthems, one of them being "Zadok the Priest", which has been sung at every British coronation since. "Coincidentally", that anthem's text is derived from the account of the anointing of Solomon, son of David, in 1 Kings 1:38-40. As opposed to Abiathar, Zadok the High Priest proved himself faithful to David, even when David was fleeing from Absalom with the Ark of the (New) Covenant. All of this strengthens the spiritual connection between George II and the David spirit of innovative wisdom.

It is also worth noting that the song "God save the king" was developed during George II's reign. As you may know, this song has endured through the centuries, to the point of becoming the unofficial anthem of the UK. Another "interesting" fact about George II is that, during the first London performance of "Messiah" by Handel (on 23 March 1743), George II stood up during the famous "Hallelujah" chorus (which is based on Revelation 19:6, Revelation 11:15, and Revelation 19:16), remaining on his feet until the end of the chorus. It is believed that George II did this as a sign of recognition that his earthly kingship was subservient to that of the King of Kings. Since the protocol was that no one could remain sitting whilst the king stood, the entire audience stood up and remained standing until the end of the piece. For this reason, it became customary, even to this day, for audiences to stand during the Hallelujah Chorus, even when there are no royalty present. Notice, therefore, how George II's reign created changes that stand to this day. This is typical in people with the David spirit of innovation. They forge brand new paradigms that leave a transcending impression that lasts even after they are physically around no more.

An electromagnetic anointing

As we shared above, the ampullae of Lorenzini are electroreceptors that allow sharks to detect electromagnetic fields. Interestingly enough, the smelting process to create aluminium (discovered by Charles Martin Hall) requires the passing of a direct electrical current through molten aluminium. As we also shared earlier, silicon has been instrumental in the advancement of modern technology because of its electrical properties. And, as we also shared above, Gauss made significant contributions in many areas, one of the main ones being electromagnetism. All of this shows the intimate connection between electricity, magnetism, and the David spirit of innovative wisdom. If you look through human history, you will notice that mankind's scientific progress skyrocketed (literally) once man began to grow in his understanding of electricity and magnetism. It is as man began to tap into the properties of electromagnetism that technology was taken to a completely new and higher level.

Because of this connection between electromagnetism and the David spirit of innovative wisdom, it is not surprising that scientists are currently speaking of the solar storms that will be bombarding the earth between 2010 and 2012. As indicated on sciencecastle.com, the last major solar storm was in 2003, which had significant effects on Europe. The storm caused a power outage in Sweden that left some 50,000 people without electricity, and it also caused the navigation systems of several airplanes to stop working. The next storm, however, is expected to have far more dramatic consequences. As indicated in an article posted on npr.org, a massive solar storm could leave millions of people around the world without electricity, running water, and phone services, meaning that solar storms "could be the Earth's next Katrina", according to the article.

Interestingly enough, these solar storms seem to occur every 11 years. This is no spiritual coincidence, for, as we have shared before, the number "11" is the number of judgement, and the sun (when contrasted against the moon) speaks of the Spirit, as well as speaking of God's righteous judgements, for the sun is referred to as the "Sun of Righteousness" in Scripture. The sun also speaks of kingship, for the sun is the dominant star in the heavens. As we have also said before, the apostolic ministry is the one most directly related to judgements, and the evangelistic ministry is the one most directly related to the expansion of kingship, and, as we shared above, angels are apostolic-evangelistic in their behaviour. Therefore, we can conclude that the 11-year solar storm cycles and the storms' resurgence around this time all speak of how God will establish His kingship through angels, through "ruthless" tin-men sharks whose innovative wisdom will fill the Earth with God's judgements. Since the American Church has callously allowed God's tin men to disintegrate, the judgements shall be all the more severe for America. What angers the Lord God of Israel is how the Church (not only in America but in the UK and other places) continues to see the "sinning and perverse world" as the cause for the increased judgement, stupidly failing to realise that God's anger is stirred by the arrogant stubbornness of the Church. The world "does not know better". They are trapped in darkness, and the Church, which is supposed to act as the light of the world, as the light that exposes the darkness of the soul's matriarchy, has chosen, like Vashti, to do things "her way". And, despite God's exhortations to "male up", to begin to act in the judgements of His "male" Spirit, she continues to feel "snug and comfy" in her niche of worthless and shallow traditions, thinking that preventing some people going to literal hell is all that she needs to do on behalf of God. After her grandiose "salvation work", all that she feels compelled to do is to keep these "saved" people entertained in her "sinkhole" pews until "time runs out". Meanwhile, the Lord's purposes are stifled as His "male" Spirit Kingship is hindered from being manifested, and the world continues with its decay and its emptiness, with billions of spiritual callings and potential dying away without ever being manifested (both in and outside the Church). Cursed be the matriarchal Church, and cursed are those who uphold her!!! Cursed are the bastards who want the matriarchal Church to continue with her spiritual scam!

Cold green exterminators

According to wikipedia.org, sharks were known up until the 16th century as "sea dogs". This name is actually a misnomer. As you may know, dogs are rather affectionate creatures that are quick to develop bonds of loyalty and emotional attachment. Cats, by contrast, tend to be rather "stand-offish" and independent creatures who, at times, give off the impression that they could not care less about their human owners. In that sense, therefore, you could say that dogs are "warm-blooded" and cats are "cold-blooded". Thus, when you consider the fact that sharks are by no means creatures that you would want to "cuddle" in your arms, it would be more appropriate to associate them with "felines" than with "canines". Sharks tend to be "stand-offish", as shown by the fact that many of them perform a threat display when approached too closely. Many shark species are solitary predators by nature, which emphasises their spiritual connection to "felines".

Given the above, it would more appropriate to label sharks as "sea lions" than as "sea dogs". If you consider both the physical qualities and the behaviour of the animals that are officially known as "sea lions", you will notice that they are anything but "lions". They are, for the most part, gentle, sociable, and often defenceless creatures that like to gather in groups of hundreds on land to sunbathe. Sea lions are so docile that they have even been trained for underwater recovery (as indicated on wikipedia.org), just as dogs are trained to find specific items using their sense of smell. Therefore, it would have been more appropriate for them to be called "sea dogs" rather than "sea lions". Sharks, by contrast, share a great many similarities with lions. They are fierce hunters that inspire terror just by "showing up". They either hunt alone or in small groups, just as lions do. They are, in essence, the "supreme predators" of the sea, just as lions are on land. They may be outsized by whales, just as lions are by elephants on land, but there is no doubting that sharks have enough of an edge in the "respect" department to be considered the "kings of the sea", just as lions are considered the "kings of the jungle" on land. In the same way that a king inspires reverent fear through the broadcasting of his name, sharks inspire reverent fear through the broadcast of their name in the waters.

The fact that the true sea lions were called "sea dogs" and that the true sea dogs are called "sea lions" reflects the lack of understanding that natural man has about the spiritual "sea". As we have said before, the "sea" is intimately related to the "green horse" of the Apocalypse, and, as we have also shared before, the "fractal" nature of green-horse riders makes them the most misunderstood of all believers, especially by believers trapped in the religious structures of man (and even by those who have broken off of many of those structures but who are not willing to let go of them all).

Given that sharks are the true "sea lions", their connection to the green horse becomes all the more evident. As we have seen before, green-horse riders are God's "seafarers" who come with an extermination anointing. They come to execute ruthless "terminal judgements" on the soul matriarchy, and they are utterly unwilling to compromise with the current system that rules over the Church and the world. As we have said before, lions are associated with God's judgements. Therefore, we can say that green-horse riders come like lions in the spirit realm to destroy the structures that underpin the Church's and the world's current judgement system. They are the "seafaring lions", the sharks who navigate the spiritual realm to annihilate the matriarchy of the soul. This "shark nature" remains within them even as they go through green-horse death and 5th-seal hibernation.

Green sea sentinels

According to wikipedia.org, some sharks can lie near the sea floor in a state of sleep, actively pumping water over their gills as they lie there, and even remaining with their eyes open. Even in that state of sleep, their wide-open eyes have been known to actively follow divers who swim near them. This further strengthens the spiritual connection between sharks and the green horse, since, as we have said before, green-horse riders are God's spiritual watchmen who are constantly gazing out towards the sea horizon, attentively perceiving the spiritual atmosphere around them (like the sons of Issachar) whilst profoundly longing for God's latter-rain manifestation.

Green lean killing machines

As you may know, sharks are very muscular creatures whose streamlined body design turns them into efficient "killing machines". They can locate their prey using their electromagnetic receptors, and once they have honed in on their target, they go after it with laser precision and speed. This technological efficiency and prowess correlates with the tin-man wisdom anointing we have studied so far. This correlation is further emphasised by the sharks' intelligence. As indicated on wikipedia.org, recent studies have indicated that sharks possess powerful problem-solving skills, as well as a high level of curiosity. Unlike other fish, their brain-to-body mass ratio is similar to that of mammals, making them the fish with the highest such ratio (as indicated on wikipedia.org).

An example of sharks' intelligence was spotted in 1987, near Smitswinkle Bay in South Africa, where a group of up to 7 great white sharks were seen working together to move the dead body of a partially beached whale to deeper waters in order to eat it. Sharks may seem in popular wisdom to be nothing more than "mindless feeding machines", but they are actually creative problem solvers who exhibit an impartation of innovative "tin-man wisdom".

The 5th-seal connection

As we have studied before, the enemies of God take on a Jebusite-Hittite nature during the remnant's 5th-seal hibernation. As we have said before, apostles "gone bad" turn into Jebusites, and prophets "gone bad" turn into Hittites. Therefore, we can say that the 5th-seal enemies of God are apostle-prophets gone woefully awry. This correlates with the nature of sharks.

Because of their "killer" nature, we can say that there is a strong "apostolic" nature in them, since apostles are judgement-makers, and God's judgements are like sword thrusts and fire that kill off unrighteousness. As evidenced by their Lorenzini ampullae, sharks also possess a "perceptive" and "intuitive" nature; thus, we can also say that sharks have a strong "prophetic" nature, which means that sharks have a strong apostolic-prophetic manifestation. Therefore, we can say that "sharks" are God's spiritual response to the Jebusite-Hittite attackers of His remnant during their 5th-seal hibernation. In other words, the shark nature in God's green-horse remnant that is only evident in the spirit realm becomes more and more evident in the natural realm the longer God's remnant continue in 5th-seal hibernation, especially as that apostolic-prophetic shark nature begins to pave the way for God's 6th-seal vengeance against His enemies. Just as Hittites have worked to torment and terrorise God's 5th-seal righteous, God's sharks begin to torment and terrorise God's enemies; and, just as Jebusites have worked to ambush and murder God's righteous, God's sharks begin to ambush and kill God's enemies. These sharks are released full-force into the natural realm upon the green-horse riders' death, and their numbers become greater and greater as the 5th-seal stage continues.

Just like sharks, 5th-seal believers can "smell blood". They can smell the open opportunity to unleash the vengeance upon God's enemies that will usher in God's kingdom on Earth. This is why Scripture shows 5th-seal believers saying the following:

"⁹ And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: ¹⁰ And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?"

As the 5th seal is prolonged, the fullness of the spiritual spectrum in God's remnant is revealed. As we have shared before, the remnant take on a weakness role of pastor-teacher during the 5th seal as they await their redemption. However, as we can infer from all of the above, their sacrifice releases an apostle-prophet shark attack on the Earth that becomes increasingly evident in the natural realm. Thus, 4 out of the 5 ministry endowments begin to get activated during the 5th seal (apostle, prophet, pastor, and teacher), with only the evangelistic endowment awaiting its full and deadly manifestation during the 6th-seal stage of God's vindicating vengeance.

Not as cold as they appear

Even though sharks may portray many traits of solitary behaviour and cold-blooded ruthlessness, they are not as "cold" as they appear. As indicated on wikipedia.org, some shark species do show strong social interaction qualities. The scalloped hammerhead, for example, congregates in large schools whose numbers may reach the hundreds. It must be stated, however, that scalloped hammerheads are a relatively docile species, as indicated on wikipedia.org. Thus, from their social propensity for "herd" congregation and their docile behaviour, we can conclude that this shark species exhibits "pastoral" tendencies.

Another example of social behaviour in sharks can be seen in silky sharks, who often defer to the (solitary and fearsome) oceanic whitetip shark during feeding, even though both species are of similar size and exhibit similar traits of aggressiveness in their hunting styles. This reveals an acceptance of (cross-species) "hierarchies", which is very consistent with the teacher endowment, which focuses on specialisation, functionality, and methodology.

From the above, we can conclude that literal sharks do exhibit traits spiritually consistent with the "female" ministries of pastor and teacher. In the same way, God's remnant "sharks" are not men and women born "without a heart" and who couldn't care less about people or about order and structure. The only reason why they cannot exercise their pastoral and teacher endowments more freely is because the circumstances do not merit it. When you are in the middle of a to-the-death war, it becomes more difficult for you to make outward exhibitions of kindness and empathy. And, when that war involves fighting enemies enabled by the current structures, your opportunity for exhibiting submission to external order diminishes considerably. Even though the hypocritical matriarchal soul may be unable to perceive it, God's remnant "sharks" are indeed compassionate and do care for others, for, as they battle in the Spirit, their longing is to see the manifestation of God's Glory in others. They are enraged by the structures that cause the potential in others to go to waste, and they are enraged by those who are comfortable with their own potential being thrown in Gehenna, for, not only do these men and women squander their own potential, but they also become passive hindrances that hamper the manifestation of God's potential in others, as well as hampering the Kingship of God's righteousness on Earth. By the same token, God's remnant sharks are not anarchical mavericks who abhor order just for the sake of it. They are, in fact, the believers whose souls are the most submissive to God and His righteousness. They become enemies of the current order because they realise that what passes for "order" and "appropriateness" is actually rebellious insubordination against God's order and righteousness, and they realise that submitting to this "order" is actually equivalent to organised insurrection against the Lord's deep purposes.

Rachel's Ramah

As we shared earlier, it is believed that the "Arimathaea" mentioned in the New Testament is the same as Ramathaim-Zophim, Samuel's birthplace and "seat of judgement". This town is also referred to simply as "Ramah" in Scripture, as shown in verse 17 below:

"¹⁵ And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life. ¹⁶ And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places. ¹⁷ And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD." (1 Samuel 7:15-17)

The name "Ramah" appears in the New Testament, in verse 18 of the following passage:

"¹⁶ Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. ¹⁷ Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, ¹⁸ In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not." (Matthew 2:16-18)

Notice how the passage above speaks of the enemy wiping out an entire age group in the region of Bethlehem, all because Jesus had been there as a child. This begs the questions, "Why did all those children have to die, and why did God allow it? Why would Jesus' presence in the area bring so much heartache? Wasn't His presence supposed to bring joy instead of pain, blessing instead of destruction, life instead of death?" To answer these questions, we must consider the reason why the Holy Spirit mentions "Rachel" and why the Lord portrays the massacred children as "her children" (v18).

The name "Rachel" literally means "female shepherd"; in other words, "Rachel" means "female pastor" (since "pastor" and "shepherd" are synonyms in the original Greek, in the original Hebrew, and in languages such as Italian and Portuguese). A close study of Genesis 24 and 29 reveal that, when Jacob kissed Rachel and gave his soul to her (Genesis 29:11), it was a prophetic figure of Jacob handing himself and his future generations over to slavery under the pastoral matriarchy. This is the reason why Jacob went on to endure 14 years of indentured servitude under Rachel's father shortly after his fatal kiss, and it is also the reason why the Israelites eventually ended up as slaves in Egypt after they were taken there by means of Joseph, Rachel's first biological son. Through his life of sacrifice, Joseph paid a redemptive price for the sins of his father's surrender to his mother, paving the way for the Israelites' eventual exodus from Egypt; this is the spiritual reason why Joseph's last recorded words in Genesis are a prophecy about God taking the Israelites out of Egypt, along with a request for his bones not to be left in Egypt but to be taken back to the Promised Land (Genesis 50:24-25).

The above means that the massacre at Bethlehem was a judgement from God on those whose hearts remained enslaved by the pastoral-matriarchy spirit. Due to their faithfulness to the pastoral matriarchy, they opened up a spiritual door that allowed Herod to walk right in and destroy their spiritual future (represented by their children). All the children slaughtered were 2 years old at the most, meaning that they had not reached the age of 3. This is a figure of believers who call God "Lord" twice but not thrice , i.e.- in their minds and in their emotions, but not in their hearts. It is a figure of believers whose body and soul are sympathetic to God but whose spirit remains stagnant and immature. It is a figure of believers who go 2 thirds of the way but who never enter into the fullness of life in the Spirit, remaining at the soul level at best. This is what happens to those who choose to be "children of Rachel" (i.e.- children of the pastoral matriarchy) rather than sons and daughters of Father God. This is the reason why they unwittingly expose themselves to having Herod come in and devastate their spiritual calling.

The "children of Rachel" live under the Old Covenant, enslaved under a spiritual nanny system that focuses on Girgashite hierarchies and teachings, a system in which everyone follows patronising Canaanite pastors who keep their children immature by constantly shielding them from the reality of God's judgements. Therefore, it is no spiritual coincidence that the passage in Matthew 2:16-18 quotes from a prophetic word in Jeremiah 31, a chapter that then goes on to speak of the coming "New Covenant" between God and His people.

"Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not." (Jeremiah 31:15)

"³¹ Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: ³² Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: ³³ But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. ³⁴ And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." (Jeremiah 31:31-34)

Notice how the Lord points out the covenant that He made with the generation of Israelites whose bodies left Egypt, but whose hearts never left that place (Acts 7:39). Egypt was destined by God to be a temporary place of refuge for the Israelite nation, a bunker where they could take shelter from the famine that hit the land during Jacob's earthly days, and where they could gather the strength required to take the Promised Land. Yet, the Israelites, as a people, turned it into a permanent place; they were comfortable "eternalising" the Old Covenant, acting as if that was all that they could or needed to expect from God. Therefore, it is no coincidence that the Holy Spirit speaks of Yeshua going to and returning from Egypt shortly before speaking of the children of Rachel being slaughtered:

"¹³ And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. ¹⁴ When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: ¹⁵ And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son." (Matthew 2:13-15)

We can therefore say that the people of Bethlehem who were alive during Yeshua's earthly days were strongly committed to the pastoral matriarchy spirit of Rachel. As shown by Luke 2:8, that region was a region of many shepherds, and, as such, it was susceptible to the seductive Rachel spirit of distorted pastoring. This bond to the pastoral-matriarchy spirit can be seen in the fact that, when the time came for Jesus to be born, Bethlehem offered him no place to be born except a stable full of animals. As we have shared before, animals are, in essence, spiritless souls; therefore, when human beings are stripped of their spirit potential, they become little more than "glorified animals". Because of their focus on the soul and their disdain for the things of the "male" Spirit, matriarchal pastors unconsciously "animalise" those who follow them. And, since they like to play the role of "soothers of the broken", they are quick to patronise those who follow them. Surreptitiously, as they stand over their "animal" brethren, playing the role of "spiritual experts", these pastors eventually become the "only humans" in the midst of a flock of lesser "animals". This is the reason why matriarchal pastors love to refer to their followers as "sheep", and "their" sheep, at that (in their adulterous possession of their brethren, they become enraged when another "human" pastor dares to "steal" one of "their" "animals"). Thus, when they stand over "their" flock, they see little more than a bunch of "needy people" who would be "lost" without their "guidance" and "leadership". They forge a relationship of dysfunctional interdependence between them and "their" flock: on the one hand, the flock of animal believers depend on their "non-animal" leader for their spiritual "survival", and, on the other hand, the "non-animal" leader depends on his flock of animals for recognition, self-identity and his "provisions", for, what is a shepherd worth if he has no flock of needy beings surrounding him, and how will the shepherd survive if he has no sheep to shear? This subtle and patronising "animalisation" of their brethren carried out by matriarchal pastors explains why the Son of the Most High God was forced to be born amongst animals in the matriarchal region of Bethlehem, a region full of people who could live at the biological level and the soul level (2 levels), but who were unable to live at the spirit level (the 3rd level); the region was full of people who were up to "2 years old", but who had not reached the age of 3. Even as Yeshua was physically amongst them, they continued in their spiritual immaturity, which did nothing but invite Herod's massacre over them.

The fact that the Holy Spirit is using the Nickells' dream to point to Rachel's Ramah at this point in time is no spiritual coincidence. As we have been saying in recent months, the Lord has been speaking in the spirit realm about this entire generation no longer being allowed to see the latter-rain manifestation. Just as an entire age group was literally wiped out in Ramah some 2000 years ago, an entire generation of human beings is being banned from the opportunity of living out God's latter-rain visitation. This "wiping out" was, in a sense, an inevitable part of the process. However, the more stubbornly this generation behaved, the less figurative and the more literal this "wiping out" became. Since this present generation of American believers proved itself uninterested in God's New-Covenant "technology" due to its satisfaction with Rachel's paradigms, it is being wiped out from God's latter-day purposes, even as we speak.

The fact that Jesus was forced into Egypt during the "Ramah wipe-out" is a figure of how the remnant are, in a sense, forced to disappear from the visible "spiritual scene" and into a more "secular" role as God deals with those who hindered His visitation. This is sadly going on even as we speak. This temporary retreat to Egypt was an inevitable part of the process. However, as America persisted in her Rachel stubbornness, the retreat has become more and more literal, and it is being prolonged to last an entire generation.

Scott's issue

As we shared earlier, tin is susceptible to suffering "self-accelerating disintegration" under extreme cold temperatures. As indicated in the German version of Wikipedia, it is strongly believed that this was what led to Robert Falcon Scott's kerosene cans leaking during his South Pole expedition in 1912, which contributed greatly to him and his crew perishing. The kerosene cans had been soldered with tin, and they apparently became leaky when tin pest began to undo the soldering, leading to 75% of the kerosene leaking out.

As indicated on wikipedia.org, Robert Scott was a Royal Navy officer and explorer (born in Plymouth, England) who led an Antarctic expedition that was attempting to be the first to reach the South Pole. After much heartache, they were able to reach the South Pole on 17 January 1912, only to discover that Norwegian Roald Amundsen's expedition had gotten there first. Scott and the 4 men from his crew who had gone with him on the last leg of the journey to the South Pole all died on their return trip. By contrast, all of Amundsen's men not only survived, but were in great health at the end of their expedition. We strongly recommend that you read an article by James Glover posted on www.wild.org, which will give you a strong sense as to why Amundsen's expedition was so successful and why Scott's was such a tragic failure.

We can find the first seeds of Scott's failure in the fact that Scott went into Antarctic exploration, not out of love for adventure, discovery, or even the outdoors, but as a means to further his naval career in what was then a very competitive Royal Navy environment. As we said above, the "wisdom spirit of David innovation" is strongly associated to mathematics, and mathematicians are known for the fact that they love to study mathematics out of its inherent beauty, even when the "practical application" for what they are studying is nowhere to be seen (yet). You cannot be a true innovator, a true groundbreaker, without an intrinsic, disinterested love for that which you are innovating in, regardless of the ancillary benefits that you may derive from it. Therefore, the fact that Scott's motivations for exploring the Antarctic were not totally "pure" reveals that Scott lacked the innovative wisdom to successfully accomplish a feat such as being the first to safely reach and return from the South Pole.

As pointed out by Glover in his article (mentioned above), Scott also seemed to reveal an "English propensity for unnecessary suffering" in the planning of his expedition. This propensity can be seen in his decision to use "man-hauling" rather than "dog-sledding" to move through the Antarctic territory. Instead of using dogs to pull the team's large sledges, he forced his men to pull them, apparently thinking that that would make their expedition all the more "praiseworthy". As we have shared before, the British people have a strong impartation of the apostolic anointing, which enables the British to have a very high pain threshold. When misguided, however, this ability to endure hardship can turn you into a masochistic "flagellant". This correlates with the "flagellant spirit" that blinded believers in America from seeing God's latter-rain vision, and it is the same spirit that contributed to God's faithful remnant having to go through suffering that would have otherwise been totally unnecessary.

Whereas Scott was trying to reach the South Pole "the old-fashioned way", Amundsen decided to approach the expedition from an innovative mindset, as shown by all the innovations that Glover points out on page 5 of his article:

	Amundsen had goggles specially designed from a pattern that was originally conceived by Arctic explorer Frederick Cook.
	Amundsen used special pemmican made with peas and oatmeal to add bulk and fibre to their diet.
	Amundsen created a dog pemmican with fish meat and additional fat that not only helped the dogs but was also edible by humans in case of any emergency.
	Amundsen designed sledging cases made of ash from Denmark with circular lids that were easy to open.
	Amundsen designed his own 8-foot-long skis from high-quality hickory that he had purchased many years earlier.
	Amundsen had special sleeping bags that were designed using only fur from 1-year-old reindeer calves slaughtered in the fall.
	Amundsen ordered dogs from North Greenland, which were considered to be the best cold-weather dogs in the world.
	Amundsen packed various layers of Eskimo furs and sealskins.

	It denotes liquid pouring downwards, not upwards
	It denotes a desire to keep 100% of the liquid in a "stationary" state within the container, not a permanent stream of liquid that intends to constantly move that liquid out of its current location.
