The Bible tells LIS we are rich.
Some might question this fact in
light of their worldly possessions;
however. the Bible isn't always referring
iJur,e-r-itnuc-e­
to worldly possessions when teach­
ing us that we are rich. We are
going to analyze the word inherit­
of tqe- 1£1e-c-t
ance in this lecture. Many become
rich in worldly possessions as the result of an inher­
itance. There are businesses whose sole purpose is to
locate lost mends and relatives who are named in a
will and stand to gain an inheritance. My point is you
must claim this inheritance or lose it.
What makes us ricb? There are seven churches
mentioned in the book of Revelation. Only two of them,
Smyrna and Philadelphia, were without fault in the eyes
of Christ. The most simple way to check out your
theology is to read what Christ said to the seven churches.
If your basic beliefs do not parallel those of the two
churches Cbrist found not wanting, you may wish to
reconsider your theological beliefs. Christ is speaking to
the church of Smyrna in the following verses ..
R£veLA TION 2:8-9 And unto the angel of the church
in Smyrna write, 'These things saith the First and the
Last, WhIch was dead, and is alIVe; i I know thy works,
and tribulatIon, and poverty (but thou art flch) , and I
know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews,
and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
The Englbh word "rich" is translated from the Greek
word "pl"usios" (ploo'-see-osl. "Plousios" may also be
translated "abounding with". Christ is telling the church
nf Smyrna they are abounding with truth and are rich
I because they also understand the blasphemy of the Kenites
claiming to be of the bloodline of Judah. Those that
a:'ound with this knowledge today please God very
much. They possess the Key of David.
R£VELA nON 2: 10 Fear none of those things which
thou shalt suffer.' behold, the devil shall cast some of
you mto pflson, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have
tflbulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and
I will gIVe thee a crown of /ife.
Christ is speaking of the same trials He talked about
in Mark 13:9. Those elect that remain faithful unto Him
unto death will receive eternaJ life. Your Father has given
you a rich inheritance. Will you be in a position to
claim it by knowing His Word and His Truth'! Let's
follow up on this word "inheritance" a Httle further.
MARK 12'1-2 And He began to speak unto them by
parables. "A certam man planted a vineyard, and set
an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat,
and built a tower, and let It out to husbandmen, and
Newsletter # 179 - September 1993
went into a far country Z And at the
season he sent to the husbandmen
a servant, that he mIght receive from
the husbandmen of the fruit of the
vineyard.
i God created the earth and placed
Adam there to tiJI the soil. "At the
season" God sent a servant to collect
fruit from mankind.
MARK 12, 3-5 And they caught him, and beat him,
and sent him away empty. ~ And again he sent unto
them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and
wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully
handled, ~ And again he sent another; and hIm they
killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
These are the prophets God sent in succession, from
the beginning through the last prophet before Christ.
John the Baptist.
MARK 12,6-7 Having yet therefore one son, his weI/­
beloved, he sent him also iast unto them, saymg, 'They
will reverence my son.' 7 But those husbandmen saId
among themselves. 'This is the' heir,' come, Jet us kill
him, and the mheritance shall be ours,'
These husbandmen were the Kenites that would scream
"Crucifv Him". With the true Heir out of the wav, they
could steal the inheritance. Study God's Word so you
know your inheritance and claim it boldly.
MARK 12'8-10 And they took him. and killed hIm, and
~ast him out of the vineyard. Ii What shall therefore the
lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the
husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others !ll
And have ye not read this scripture; 'The Stone WhIch
the builders rejected is become the head of the corner.
Christ was asking them if they had read the Old
Testament where these exact words were wri"en,
MARK 12: 11 This was the LORD'S doing, and It IS
marvellous in our eyes'·?
It is marvelous in our eyes because the saCrifice
Christ made on the cross gave us eternal life That
is your inheritance. You don't have to carry the weight
of your sins around with you. Get rid of them. Tell
Him you love Him and ask. for forgiveness. Let's tum
to Hebrews and continue our study concerning Inhent­
ance. How does this inheritance make one rich. or
abounding with, even in the present time','
HEBREWS 9: 1 Then verily the first covenant had also
ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary
A covenant might be thought of as a will. The Bible
 consists of two wHls. the Old Testament and the New
Testament
HEBREWS 92 For there was a tabernacle made,
the first, wherem was the candlestick, and the table
and the shewbread; which IS called the sanctuary'
Through this ceremony one could be symbolically
cleansed and made whole.
HEBREWS 93-4 And after the second veil, the
tabernacle which IS called the Holiest of all; 4 Which
had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant
over/aid round about With gOld, wherein was the golden
pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded,
and the tables of the covenant:
The manna in the ark of the covenant is svmbolic
of God's willill!;lleSS to teed you. if you are" In the
covenant. Aarun. the first Levitical Priest. carried forth
God's Word and the tables. or tablets: which were the
writings of the covenant.
HEBREWS 95 And over it the cherubims of glory
shadOWing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now
speak particularly
You mav nm\' speak particularly, because you ha\'e
ears to hear. Lucifer was a cherub. As it is written
in Ezekiel chapter 28. God made Lucifer more attrac­
tin' thall the rest. and He favored him. But Satan blew
it. He \\anted to sit on the mercyseat. Satan wanted
to be Illessiah. He will have one more opportunity to

I antlchrist that you will stand and witness against. Jesus
i made it clear in Mark D that a fake is coming first.
I That is why the cornerstone will be a stumbling block
to most. nley won't know they are worshipping the
allti<.:hrist rather than Messiah.
HEBREWS 96-8 Now when these thmgs were thus
ordained. the priests went always into the first tab­
ernacle. accomplishing the service of God. 1 But Into
the second went the high priest alone once every
year, not Without blood, wh,ch he offered for himself
and for the errors of the people 8 The Holy Ghost

present, in

9.9 Which was a figure for the time then

could not ma,'<e him that did the service
pertamlng to the conscience;
The gifts and sacrifices could not make the high
prie;;.t perfect. Only through the b100d of Christ and
repentance is man pertect. At that moment of perfec­
tion your conscience is able to feel the Holy Spirit.
HEBREWS 9 10-11 Which stood only In meats and
drinks, and divers washmgs, and carnal ordinances,
imposed on them until the time of reformation. 11 But
Christ being come an High Priest of good things to

HEBREWS 9.12-14 Neither by the blood of goats and I
calves, but by His own blood He entered In once into
the holy place. haVing obtained eternal redemption for I
us. 1) For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the .
ashes of an heifer sprinklin9 the unclean, sanctlfleth to
the pUrifying of the flesh: L How much more shall the
blood of Christ, Who through the eternal Spirit offered
himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from
dead works to serve the living God?
The perfecl ion you are able to obtain through the
blood of Christ allows one to purge their spirit of dead
works, or the old ways. and serve the living God.
Sharpen up for me here.
HEBREWS 9.15-16 And for this cause He is the
Mediator of the new testament, that by means of death,
for the redemption of the transgressions that were under
the first testament, they which are called might receIVe
the promIse of eternal inheritance. 1.~ For where a
testament IS, there must also of necessity be the death
of the testator.
For the conditions of a will to become effective the
person that wrote the will must first die. How does our
inheritance make us rich. or abounding with. today'!
Christ. the Testator. died in the tlesh tor our sins. Are
you recei ving your share of the inheritance,) Do you
know what the inheritance is'! If vou have read the '
Father's letter. you know. Those of you that are receiv- I
ing the inheritance are rich and abowlding with now ... .today.
God promised an inheritance to the elect. or the Zodak.
in Ezekiel. Let's tum there in closing. This is your
inheritance.
EZEKIEL 44:28 And It shall be unto them for an
inheritance.' I am their inheritance and ye shall give
them no possession In Israel. I am their possession
It is impossible tor the human mind to grasp the
significance of this verse. This is God speaking. He
owns everything and He IS saying the Zodak possess
Him.
EZEKIEL '44:29 They shall eat the meat offering, and
the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every
dedicated thing in Israel shall be their's.
There is your inheritance, if you are one of the
elect. We are rich. We are abounding with today. Thank
the Father.
