Chapter 52: Obtaining God’s Power

​​In this chapter, we’ll review the aspects of God’s Sons/Servants who obtain God’s power as His Seraphim/Angels/Joint-Heirs. Topics will include the implications connected with the forty days of fasting that we see in Yeshua and the abuses of divine power; Moses and Elijah and the types of miracles God’s servants have performed in the past and the sealing power that becomes operative during the Endtimes.

God’s Seraphim/Angels/Joint-Heirs have Divine Power
For God’s Seraphim/Angels to gather God’s people at the Endtimes, God endows them with divine power.
 
Dr. Gileadi,
“Seraphim…worldwide ministry is characterized by divine intervention. They gather God’s [people] throughout the earth.”
“Like Moses, Elijah, and Isaiah, however, those who serve on the earth on the seraph level are as “angels” of God because God imbues them with extraordinary powers.”
“As Moses exercised power over the elements to bring God’s people out of Egypt, so the servant and other seraphs/saviors will exercise power over the elements to bring them out of Greater Babylon.”
“With their voice, seraphs can shake the earth. They demonstrate mastery over fire and all the elements”

​
​Fasting for Forty Days
In the Bible, a key aspect of receiving God’s power can be connected to a forty-day period of fasting that we see in Moses, Elijah, and Yeshua/Jesus. The number 40 in Hebrew connotes a new beginning and transition. It’s associated with the concept of water baptism but at a higher level here with fasting for forty days. The Hebrew number for 40 is the letter mem – מ – and is associate with water.
 
Immediately after Yeshua is baptized in the Jordan river by John the Baptist – Matthew 3 – Yeshua begins a forty-day fast in Matthew 4. After forty days of fasting, in a weakened condition, Satan appears and tests Yeshua’s resolve to properly use divine power. The three tests of power include -

Abusing power to feed man’s carnal passions – turning stones to bread.
Abusing power to unrighteously prove God’s authority – casting himself to be saved.
Abusing power to debase God and His authority – worshiping Satan for power.

We also see Moses and Elijah fast for forty days indicating this new beginning and transition.
 
Moses – Exodus 24:18 and Exodus 34:27-29
Elijah – 1 Kings 19:7,8
 
This occurrence of forty happens with the prophet Isaiah in the fortieth chapter Isaiah.
 
Dr. Gileadi,
“Isaiah introduces seraphim in Isaiah 6 and parallels their role with his own in Isaiah 40. Through a sequence of linking ideas, Isaiah’s seven-part structure traces Isaiah’s ascent from son/servant to seraph. The structure shows that just as God has empowered the seraphs, so he empowers Isaiah. After more than forty years of serving as a prophet of God, Isaiah receives a new commission. “The Ascension of Isaiah,” which book exists in four ancient languages, describes Isaiah’s ascent to heaven and compares him as a prophet to Moses.”
 
​
Moses, Elijah, and Yeshua/Jesus
When we consider men in the Bible who demonstrated God’s divine power and who fasted for forty days, three emerge as examples – Moses, Elijah, and Yeshua/Jesus.
 
Moses
Moses is associated with at least 42 miraculous events that can be categorized as signs for Pharoah, the ten plagues, deliverance, sustenance in the desert, judgment and healing.
 
Elijah
Elijah is associated with 16 miracles that include shutting the heavens, multiplying oil/flour, raising the dead, calling fire from heaven, bringing rain, parting the Jordan River, etc.
 
Yeshua/Jesus
Yeshua is attributed to 37 miracles that include healing, exorcisms, nature miracles, and raising the dead.
 
 
The Sealing Power
The most important power we see given to God’s Seraphim/Angels is the sealing power. We see this power given to the Apostle Peter by Yeshua. Notice here that the sealing power is connected with the keys to the kingdom of heaven.
 
“And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” – Matthew 16:19
 
This sealing power is used for two purposes that are connected with establishing the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven –
 
Provide Divine Protection
Empowers with Supernatural Abilities
 

Divine Protection
This sealing action provides divine protection and sustenance until God’s endtime servants have fulfilled their missions – gathered the righteous and established justice in the earth under God’s Servant.
 
Dr. Gileadi,
“Isaiah draws on the type of Moses to depict the servant’s status and his role as Israel’s lawgiver: “Neither shall he himself grow dim or be bruised till he has established justice in the earth.  The isles await his law: Isaiah 42:2., Deu 34:7.  - Endtime Prophecy, Gileadi, p. 228.

Revelations 7:2,3
“And I saw another angel ascending from the east [God’s Endtime Servant], having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants [144,000] of our God in their foreheads.”

We also see this divine protection with the two witnesses who prophesy(preaching the everlasting gospel) to the gathered Jews in Israel mentioned in Rev. 11:5.

“If any man hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.”

​
Empowered with Supernatural Abilities
These 144,000 servants also receive power to seal up life and destroy.  In other words, they have the power to save life and to destroy. 
 
Dr. Gileadi,
“The power of persons who operate on the seraph level “seal on earth and in heaven… Those who possess this sealing power are able “to save life and to destroy… to seal up unto life or to cast down to the regions of darkness. (Jeremiah 1:19; Revelations 7:1-4)."   - Endtime Prophecy, Gileadi, p 211, 212.​
