Malachi


Man rejected God the first time in the Garden, and then the second time at the Mountain, it is now time for God to return for the third time.

The last Prophet, in the last three verses of the last chapter in the old testament, prophecies the form of the return of God to man for the third time.

John 1:1-39 fulfills the last warning in Malachi, God must return in the form of the thing you chose at the mountain.
— Remember at the mountain, you chose Moses, a man to speak to you, and not God —

The Jesus Prophecy
God’s 5th Church – God’s 5th Visit

This is the “What’s in your heart” Prophecy, the new law.

Once the religious leaders decide on the fate of Jesus, Jesus will use His own life and words to show the result of that decision.
The time frame that this prophecy encompasses is from the command to capture Jesus, through His return to John, and then up until His return to you today. Jesus will use His return to John which was prophesied in the Lazarus Prophecy as proof that He returned before John died (as a “thief in the night”) and now He is returning one more time to you today. This time Jesus is showing you how He is completely fulfilling the down payment of the Holy Spirit. Jesus even prophecies your response to His return.

John will record these events always using the three fulfilled stories from above.

John will use:
# 1) The Garden: Adam/Eve,
# 2) The Mountain: Moses/Israelites,
# 3) The Roman Court: Jesus/Jewish people,
as the means of telling the remaining life of Jesus,

and then is some cases,

John will also add:
# 4) the time until Jesus returned to John,
# 5) the time while Jesus returns to Gentiles now.

John hides this method of telling the remaining stories, but once you see it, it will be as if the light has been turned on and you can never un-see it.

Devil enters Judas Iscariot, washing of feet, eating at table, whom eats bread shall betray Jesus, Jesus says He must be glorified and must go away, Jesus tells Peter that he will deny Jesus three times, Jesus must go to prepare the many roomed house, you will do greater works, comforter will come, keep Jesus’ words, and Jesus will not talk to them much after this.

#6 Grace-in (Jesus knows it is time to change realms, He must depart this world and go unto the Father.)

Garden – Devil puts in heart and naked/towel covers
Mountain – Water in basin and wash and dry feet
Jesus – Son of man glorified, Jesus to die
Future to them – Jesus is to leave, and more/greater works to come
72
John 15 and 16 The 2nd Garden/Mountain/Jesus way of telling a story.
Jesus is the vine, gives commandment to love one another, will lay down His life, comforter will come, Jesus must go away, you will see me again, says everything is proverbs, disciples say they understand now, and Jesus says they will leave Him.
Garden – Tree, vine, gardener
Mountain – Law given
Jesus – Lay down life for friends
Future to them – Holy Spirit/Comforter to come
Today – Saying understood
You – Still man rejects
73
John 17 Jesus pauses from the Garden/Mountain/Jesus story telling and talks about the works He has done and that He has manifest God’s name. Jesus says that He will declare God’s name some more again. Jesus pauses to tell you to look to His work, His manifestation of God’s name and life eternal. Jesus has been using a pattern in His works that might be hard to see but He will make the next story very short and sweet. The same pattern will exist in a single 45 word verse.
74
John 18:1-2 The 3rd Garden/Mountain/Jesus way of telling a story.
Jesus is finished with His prayer and travels over a brook and into a garden.
Jesus – Jesus speaks
Mountain – Crossing body of water
Garden – Entered garden
75
John 18:3-12 The 4th Garden/Mountain/Jesus way of telling a story.
Three different things happen when Jesus is found in the garden and will be taken. (Garden Story)
All three will take place in a Garden
(Garden reference)

Garden – They don’t reach for Life and they fall
Mountain – Let my people go
Jesus – They finally choose Jesus, but, to kill Him.
76
John 18:13-27 The 5th Garden/Mountain/Jesus way of telling a story.
Jesus is led out of the garden and into the palace of the high priest. Peter denies Jesus three times. (Mountain Story)
All three will take place at Government gated building
(Tabernacle/Mountain reference)

Jesus – Peter denies at door
Mountain – Peter denies at burning “mountain” of coals
Garden – Peter denies being seen in the garden
77
John 18:26-40, John 19, John 20:1-18 The 6th Garden/Mountain/Jesus way of telling a story.
Jesus taken to the hall of judgement, Jews choose to release Barabbas, Jesus is scourged, dressed like a king, Jesus crucified, has side pierced, wrapped with clothes and spices, placed in a sepulchre in a garden, Mary finds stone moved, Jesus not there, disciples come, disciples go home, Mary sees two angels, Mary sees Jesus but only “sees” a gardener, Jesus says, “Mary”, and Mary now knows it is Jesus, Jesus says, “Touch me not…”, and finally Mary goes and tells all the disciples. (Jesus story)
All three will take place as “judgement”
(Jesus reference)

Jesus – In Hall of judgement with no fault found in Him
Mountain – Scourged/skin removed on the way to deliver His people (Moses also has skin removed, circumcised, on the way to deliver His people)
Garden – Jesus laid in a new sepulcher located in a garden next to place of crucifixion
78
John 20:19-31 and 21:1-14 Jesus returns 3 times and builds the 3 room tabernacle with the appearances.
Jesus returns in a closed room the first time back, He returns in a closed room the second time, and then He returns in an outside area with water and a fire pit.
Building a prophetic tabernacle with Jesus appearing three times

1st appearing (Holy of Holies) – Closed room giving down payment of Holy Spirit
2nd appearing (Holy Place) – Closed room

—John pauses to tell you that he is only writing very specific stories, and these stories should make you believe.—

3rd appearing (Outer Court) – Outdoors by water and fire pit

79
John 21:15-24 The 7th Garden/Mountain/Jesus way of telling a story.
Jesus ask Peter if he loves Him three times, Jesus tells him to feed my lambs, feed my sheep, and feed my sheep. Jesus tells Peter his future and then Peter wants to know John’s future. Jesus prophesies the time frame of His return back to man using John’s life span. So Jesus has told them what man should have been looking for each of the three times God stood before man in the past and then Jesus tells them when He will return to stand before man in the future.
Look to the sheep to see the pattern

Jesus – Feed my lambs, Jesus the lamb of God
Mountain – Feed my sheep, Moses was feeding sheep
Outside Garden – Feed my sheep, Abel was feeding sheep
Future to them – Disciples will be led away and killed
Jesus’ Second Coming – Jesus will return before John’s death

John 21:25 John refers to the impossibility that books in this world can contain all that Jesus did in this world, but maybe a book could contain all that Jesus did if it followed the same pattern of the Garden/Mountain/Jesus story only and then also used a tabernacle in the pattern also. Since John was reversing most of the past stories, could he be making this last statement so that you will read it with the inverse meaning. Try it a see.
Also, could the Book of Revelation be written the same way as the Book of John, he did write both books?
