I wrote a very long message on the fall of the OT. This shows from Lamentations how every phase or part of that old law nation was destroyed. This took place on the Day of Pentecost. This is when that fig tree was cursed and dried up with no fruit forever more. This was when they were left DESOLATE.

Jesus is the one who pronounced them desolate. He is the one who made them desolate. But in actuality it was that ‘law�?which made them desolate. Jesus was made under that law. So he came here as part of that law nation. He came here in ‘first man Adam flesh�? This is the vile body and must be done away with. It is synonymous with old Jerusalem or law. The Word says in Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

God sent his Son here in the likeness of sinful flesh. This is not the glory of God. This is not the ‘flesh�?that His Word was made into, for that flesh was glory. So here we link Jesus with first man Adam and old Jerusalem, law. This is important to understanding this message.

Another point which is needful to understanding this message is to know what the seven heads on that beast is. I have most certainly never heard the truth of this taught. God showed me that the first head of the beast, mankind, was Adam. Yes this head started in the Garden of Eden. It ended there at the flood.

Then the second head was Noah. The third head was those four who came up after Noah; his three sons and Abraham. This is the third kingdom which had four heads. Now this makes six heads of the beast of the OT. The last or fourth kingdom and seventh head was Moses (law).

So the Old Testament heaven and earth ended there at Calvary. This is where, when and how Jesus killed that old head with the sword. He nailed that law to his cross and took it out of the way. But that old head of law was revived and brought right back up. Why? Because old Jerusalem made a church and of course went right on in their idol worship and law.

They could never come into grace because of their idol worship. So they set about killing all the saints of God who followed Jesus. They also set back up their priest system. Hebrews tells us that God did away with that earthly priesthood and now we have the Heavenly priesthood of Jesus. But the church still keeps that priest system, of one man ruling over the church. Every church today follows this pattern and their tithe paying. So they are back under this old, destroyed head of law. This why they cannot ever hear, or understand the truth of God’s Word.

Then that same old Jerusalem, law nation of Jews, made an image to the first beast before them, which was the law of Moses and idol worship. So then, old Jerusalem is actually the ‘mother�?church and not the Catholic church. The Catholic church is just her first daughter. She then produced other daughters, or harlot churches. Seven of them to be exact. See those seven heads again? -- the image to that first beast.
