The Promised Land is in your Mouth and your Heart

Since it was founded, the geographic area of Jerusalem has been a cause for conflict. Yet, in Jewish law, the promised land is mostly a higher state of consciousness, rather than a specific geographic location (Heaven at Heart).

Upon entering the promised land, synonomous with elevating in conscious perception, the israelites came upon giants, so huge that they compared themselves as grasshoppers. These giants were descendants of the Nephilim (Giants), called the Anakim which means 'long-necked ones'. Also associated with the Rephaim, another race of giants. Giants, whether viewed as physical and/or mental, occupied these higher planes of awareness in the promised land.

Deuteronomy 30:11-14
"Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it."

the word Mountain is often used to described this elevated state of consciousness, in which your heart is beating in accordance with the natural divine Law. For example, Moses received the Law on Mount Sinai. He also saw the promised land from mount Nebo - Nebo meaning prophet or learned one. Moses never entered the promised land, instead, Joshua was the one to passover the Israelites into this new state of consciousness.

Just like John the Baptist prepared the way in the wilderness for the coming of Yeshua (Jesus), Moses prepared the way in the wilderness for Yeshua (Joshua). In Hebrew, Jesus means Joshua. After Moses died, As commanded, Joshua passed over into the promised land in fifties (Joshua 1:14). Similarly, when John the Baptist died (Matthew 14), Jesus called the people who followed him to be grouped into 50s (Luke 9:14) to witness a miracle that exemplified the abundance of the land promised to the ancestors of Israel.

Shortly after the miracle of the multiplying bread, "he went up to the mountain to pray,
and it came to pass, in his praying, the appearance of his face became altered, and his garment white -- sparkling."

This shift in consciousness also allowed the disciples to see and talk to Moses and Elijah (Luke 9:30). Surely this was the timeless eon where the children of Light communicate with each other. In this way, Abraham saw Jesus's day, and he was glad. Just like the promised land is in your heart, so too is the Kingdom of Heaven within. Those who seek it outside of their self are denying that they are children and temples of the Most High God.

Let all people be liars and God be true, for you look to others to find the truth. Yet they are just a reflection of you. Walking in a temporary state of ignorance until they find what is true. In this way, God hides the birthright of those who have not yet earned their inheritance:

Revelation 2:17
"Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it."

We have given our testimony, but who can believe it (John 3:31-33)? Only those who are ready.

Implied with regard to your presentation would be the return of St. Michael who is also an Archangel and with regards to Revelations? What is hidden could be the issue of Prophets and Saints (as well as Demons) returning to Earth.

In interpretation a point would be that with, regard to Christianity Angels as well as Saints can Reincarnate.

An interpretation would be that the War in Heaven never really ended.


With regards to Jacobs Ladder one implication IMHO is that Consciousness transcends all states that can be perceived as matter.

Meaning that an interpretation of Jacobs Ladder relates to matters that could be Developmental, like learning how to walk or talk.

What do you know of the God of Jacob?

Not exactly. While "Jewish law", otherwise known as the commandments, were supposed to be etched in their minds and their hearts, the promised land that they were supposed to be able to possess as long as they kept the laws and commandments, had the boundaries as outlined in the link below.

It's been said that the head of prophecy was cut off with John the Baptist, meaning that all had come to pass when Jesus fulfilled his mission. This current construct of time, i.e. Satan being allowed to rule for a little while longer, is only necessary for our limited being to inevitably reveal our connection with the unlimited nature of our Father.

Most interesting is his dream, upon awakening, he says, surely God is here. The ladder indicating a connection of dream with wake consciousness - heaven with earth - mind with matter - unlimited nature with lucidity. Jesus said He was going up and down the ladder connecting heaven and earth communicating with angels during his days on earth (John 1:51).

Certainly. I chose my words carefully and said "mostly" a state of consciousness. The meaning of the city names are very telling - Jerusalem meaning foundation of peace, Ephraim meaning fruitful, etc. When the prophets refer to these places they are referring to these states of consciousness as well. God is omnipresent, so I am not sure why God is ever limited to certain geographic regions.
