(This relates to the pink house and its contents. Pink, of course refers to that which is occurring in the flesh.)
Anna: (speaking to Bob Jones) It looked like a box.
Bob: Jerusalem. That’s the way they look in Jerusalem. They look like a box. The waves off the side of the cliff are humanity. Ships represent leadership…leadership chained to humanity. The buildings will be as high as they are wide. They are square….like 15 feet wide and 1 5 feet high and 15 feet long. The heavenly buildings are like that.
Wood speaks of anointed flesh. So the treasure that you saw was the treasure of the past. But the sons of thunder—their mother made a request of the Lord that “my” sons sit at your right hand and your left hand. Jesus said: “it is not Mine to give.” Then He said: you don’t know what you asked– for this is required of me. You’ve got to drink of My cup. They ( the sons of thunder) said: “Lord we can do it.” And so they did drink of His cup. They could do it. I’ve never heard them preach on that. James was the first to be martyred—killed like Him, wasn’t he? John remained behind to live for Him, didn’t he?
So they did live in this persecution, didn’t they? So—those were old cups, weren’t they? ….that men did drink out of, didn’t they? And so men did drink. The church was birthed on persecution. And there is something old and something new that comes in the wedding. This was the treasure of the church…of the early church.
These are treasures that religious men have usurped. This speaks of coming into the property that the soul has taken over. The soul in our churches has no vision of persecution and suffering. But the LAST DAY CHURCH will come out with great suffering. And so, those are the cups. Can we drink from them? It is only those who will drink of them—(the leadership that was not chained to humanity in the dream) that will no longer be chained. So they are not coming through the system…but outside of the system.
But the system—that which controls—has got to give up and bring a new wedding. And what you were seeing was that those who really owned it were coming “into their own.” They had inherited that “stuff”. The spigot that was sitting on the floor was the widow woman’s spigot. They brought vessels from many churches and they got oil from it. It was the oil to keep her son from slavery…religious slavery.
But isn’t that in the treasure of our past? Didn’t that spigot continually run oil so that everybody that had a vessel had them filled? And it ran the best of the oil….the best for light and life—for well-being which speaks of the Spirit. And hasn’t the church usurped the authority of the Spirit?…..and put Him out? But when the Spirit—the spigot of oil—comes won’t the spigot run continually then? And who will it touch?
FLESH ….”I’ll pour My Spirit out on all flesh.” And so did the early churches die in the spirit or did they die in the flesh?
Anna: The flesh.
Bob: Dying in the flesh is easy. It’s living in the soul for Christ that’s hard. So can we drink of His cup? Yes, we can.
Albert: (my husband) He told them they could.
Bob: And we can too. We do drink of His cup of what we see going on in this world. Every time you’re grieved….for sin grieves God, doesn’t it? You see, I saw satan’s trophy room and so many things of God were there in his trophy room….and he usurped it. They have usurped so many things through knowledge….the tree of knowledge….and taken away from us….but they are all there in scripture. That old dead piece of stick is there in scripture—when Moses lifted it up. There are all kinds of vessels in scripture and we are many different vessels, aren’t we? There are awesome treasures there, aren’t there?
(Speaking of the table in the dream) The acacia wood is probably what you thumped…..thorns like a locust.
Albert: It does have thorns.
Bob: That’s what they made the ark out of. So you were testing the wood of the table of the Lord. So this table of the Lord was really the communion table of God. Here is where He communes with His people. Here are the cups where He communed with them. The sopping cup of the Last Supper was there.
And can we drink from His cup? Of course, we’re going no place until we do…and don’t we continually?
Albert: Where else do we have to go? Is there any other option?
Bob: The righteous will absolutely suffer persecution—that’s drinking from His cup. And are we not persecuted and brought low by the world every day? We’re made fun of.
But where she was and what He’s bringing back to the church—what she saw there—I’d study to find out what that letter means in Greek. You’ve got a letter there—did you notice it? Turn back (He was talking about turning back to the beginning of the dream as it appeared in the journal originally) and look at that letter. That house is shaped in the form of a letter. I’m just wondering what the letter for Koinonia (Greek for fellowship) is? See that letter? That’s a love letter to the bride in the book of Revelation, is what that is. I know for me, the thing it makes is a “k”. In these things, the width and the height is always the same. It’s a cube….so is that.
Al: And you remember those scriptures.
Bob: That’s a gift. You surely have seen that I can’t even remember my own name at times. But when I get into something like that (looking at a dream or vision) a gift starts operating. That’s a gift that’s quickening those scriptures to me. Jeremiah 9:23-24. “Thus says the Lord, ‘Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; (24) but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me…’”
Al: We’re reading where Solomon goes astray.
Bob: Yeah, he married all those foreign churches. Nehemiah would not. Why not? It came through his mother’s blood line. She knew that the only one who could see her was King David. So she presented herself to him to tempt him. David got all the blame for it and took it because he was a man—but Bathsheba was presenting herself nude…presenting her body to him knowing he was up there. So it came on down into Solomon. So Solomon said, there are several things I don’t understand and one of them is love. I don’t understand the difference between love and sex. So they could get to him because all he was after with a woman was sex. So he did not have a compatible companion. So he was always seeking it in a new conquest, wasn’t he?
Albert: He had one thousand wives and three hundred concubines.
Bob: He was one busy man.
Albert: That shows you that he didn’t know what love was.
Bob: And therefore in searching for it, he never really became holy. So he really didn’t seek after righteousness and holiness did he? He went the way of perversion. In that perversion, he tells what he didn’t understand in scripture. So his wisdom was of the earth, wasn’t it? It wasn’t a godly wisdom. But, it was an earthly wisdom.
Albert: He knew a lot about the things of the world.
Bob: He asked God for the wisdom to deal with man, didn’t he? So he was brilliant, wasn’t he? Did he have godly wisdom? Only when he sought it. And he was a cruel ruler. And he didn’t have compassion for anything that wasn’t a Jew. He put everything to the whip except the Jews.
So he didn’t know God’s way and he didn’t have God’s wisdom. He had the greatest wisdom that man has ever had—and so who did they give the credit to? They gave it to Solomon—the wisest man that ever lived.
Anna: They gave it to Solomon and not to God.
Bob: So who is the church giving the credit to now?….the charisma gifts. Who looks so foolish to the church (this is speaking of himself for he was often mocked) he can’t talk straight so that we have to answer for him. He’s always making a mess of it.
But wisdom comes by the fear of God, doesn’t it? Over a period of time that wisdom begins to bring in the proper application of it—which is understanding. And real understanding is fear God in all your decisions. I think you can only get understanding from Him. So you’ll notice when I’m trying to interpret a thing in understanding, I’m quoting scripture to you. So I don’t think we’re going to get any understanding at all apart from scripture.
The thunder that’s coming, we better understand it. And we better understand it by the Word. We better filter it through the logos. Then with the understanding of it we better totally obey it.
Albert: All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are in Christ Jesus—of the things that are really valuable.
Bob: (speaking of the buffet table in the dream) That’s the Lord’s table, that’s who that is. The Lord is the buffet table. So that’s really the Lord isn’t it? And all of His goodies are there. Everything there is Christ—His cup—His spigot. That’s where the oil ran out. When the prophet prayed for it, the oil never ceased, did it?
So prophets play an important part in this thing. But the vessels are of the Lord and the prophet must remember that He must be the Lord’s vessel for the oil to pour through it. And he’s got to have that wisdom and understanding. So knowledge to me is an invitation and wisdom is the application—but understanding is the ‘’know-how’’.
Albert: And the prophet can’t be controlled if he wants to stay a true prophet.
Anna: Understanding, what brings it?
Bob: It’s a gift that works through the Word. Then all of a sudden it is like a key that begins to unlock. Here’s the beginning of it. Here’s the next meaning and the next thing you know you can interpret every bit of it yourself. So that’s why you need an old eagle who can teach you to understand. And the understanding is: “Look at it.” Turn it every which way. If you’ve got a diamond, you’ve got to look at it from every aspect. Turn it in every way and then “ah” this is the direction its saying.
So you knew it was a house.
Anna: But I didn’t know it was a letter.
Bob: Well, you didn’t turn it. But once attention is drawn to it, the next time you’ll know it. So with revelation I turn it every direction I can. And all the time praying for a scripture on it…..for its got to be filtered out of the logos.
I personally think you’re talking about the house of Koinonia. That’s a “K”. The house of “k” or friendship. That’s what you saw was the friend’s house. It was a friendly house of beauty.
Anna: It was a beautiful place inside.
Bob: You know what bothered me? There were no windows in it. There must be windows in it….those are prophets. But again, the House of the Lord has no outside glory. The glory is within. In every vessel the glory would shine. It doesn’t look beautiful to mankind on the outside. That was Him, wasn’t it? The Friend. Was He beautiful on the outside? The Word says that He was not: (Is 53:2-3) “For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot and like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty that we should look upon Him, nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him. He was despised and forsaken of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.”
The “K” is for Koinonia….the coming forth of the House of Friendship—-the friendly house. You’ll be joining the House of Friends up on the mountains.
