This is the fourteenth Psalm of degrees.

Psalms 133:1 "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!"

It is wonderful for a family of believers to dwell in unity. This family is drawn together not by blood, but as one body in Christ.

Psalms 133:2 "It is like the precious ointment upon the head, That ran down upon the beard, Even Aaron's beard: That went down to the skirts of his garments;"

That High priest Aaron was anointed of God, for he was anointed by divine truth of the Word and he brought forth the Word for us even to this generation. That is the bond and cement that holds the body of Christ together. When we are in one mind in Christ, then what one does affects the entire body of Christ. The duty of the priest is to teach God's Word, and not the words of men. However, as is recorded in Ezra and Nehimiah, we see that the Levitical priests left their duties and turned their duties over to the Nethinims, the oriental or better called, the Kenites, which in turn changed or turned from the Word of God, to teach only their traditions. Though they started as the wood cutters for the altar, [a job of labor]; four centuries later they had completely taken over the priesthood from top to bottom. Ezra writes,

Ezra 8:15 "And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava: and there abode we in tents three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi."

God anointed Aaron, and the Levites to be the priests to Israel, Here it is that Israel is returning out of captivity, and all the priests that are with the flock, some 287 Nethinims in their robes, are pretending to be the anointed of God; However they are teaching their traditions of men. I Chronicles 2:55 tells us exactly who they were.

I Chronicles 2:55 "And the families of the scribes which dwelt at Jabez [Jerusalem]; the Tirathites, the Shimeathites, and Suchathites. These are the Kenites that came of Hemath, the father of the house of Rechab."

Did you get that, they are Kenites, sons of Satan through Cain from the garden of Eden. These sons of Cain are not of Israel or of God, but they had assumed the duties of the priests from top to bottom coming out of captivity. Is it any wonder that their offspring sought to murder Jesus Christ from the start of His ministry. Their traditions are from Satan, and presented as teaching from the law of Moses. They were sitting in the seat of Moses and planning their murderous plots. In John 8:44 Jesus faced them directly and let it be know exactly who they were.

John 8:44 "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is the a liar, and the father of it."

Genesis 4:8 "And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him."

So ask yourself: who was the first murderer? Of course it was Cain, and from Genesis 4:10: "And He said, "What hast thou done: the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto Me from the ground."

The thing that throws most religious leaders today is the fact that they like to play games with the Scriptures and turn their backs on what happened in the Garden of Eden between Eve and the two men. Adam and Satan. They both took part with Eve sexually, and from those unions, two sons were born, Cain from Satan, and Abel from Adam. Cain had his father nature, as a liar and murderer, and Abel was murdered by his own half brother. That is what Jesus pointed out to the Jewish religious leaders and for that, they sought to murder Him every day of His teaching life.

The Kenites took over the duties of the priests in the Temple coming out of Babylon, and they have controlled things for the past two and a half centuries. Ezra pointed this out on the trip back from Babylon captivity to Jerusalem; there was not one son of Levi left to do the work of the Temple. Can you see now why things in the church are so messed up. Had those Levitical priest kept that truth and unity, we would not have denominations today. Denominations come from division within the body of Christ, and that is not God's way. The churches of today are listening to men speak and not to God's Word, for there is no division with the Word.

Had the priest kept the anointing, then there would be only one priesthood. However there is only one true priesthood at any time, and that is the priesthood under our Shepherd Jesus the Christ: The priesthood after the order of Melchisedec. Very few have the key to understand Melchisedec; you must or you are not in the right priesthood. If your outside that priesthood, your a division, and not a priesthood that works together in unity.

Psalms 133:3 "As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: For there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore."

Hermon and Zion are the two mountains within Israel: Zion representing Judah, and Hermon the other tribes. Just as sure as Mount Hermon marked the north border of Israel, and Zion in Jerusalem itself, that is as sure as the priesthood of Melchisedec is. Within the priesthood of Melchisedec, the Lord commanded the blessings be given, and offered eternal life. It is the priesthood after the order of the Zadok, and is the priesthood that the crown would be there eternally. To hear and see the truth of that priesthood you have to go to the Word of God. If you have spiritual eyes to see, and ears to hear, then get the tools to study God's Word, ask God to open your mind to these truths. Pay attention to what is taught in the church house you attend, to see if you are being taught after the order of Melchisedec, given the entire Word, or by some division that is not weaned in the truths of God's Word. The hour is late and the time is short, for the events of the latter days are becoming history to us living today. It is time to mature in the Word of God and become sealed, for if you are not, God has warned you what will happen to those that are not. Satan and his fallen angels are coming to this earth in person at the sixth trumpet, and to those that are not sealed with the truth, God will allow Satan to have his way with them.

Revelation 9:4 "And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads."

Revelation 9:5 "And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man."

It is time to come out of those houses that simply do not teach the truth, to seal your mind with what shall and is happening today around you. We are in the fifth trumpet: The one world system is a reality today; The Jews have gone back to Jerusalem; The world is forming into a world religious system; The borders of the world are open to trade and movement; God is being removed from governments around the world; and all the other things that are to happen under the first five trumpets are history to use living today. Those men and women that are not sealed are going to be turned over to Satan, and he will have a field day with them. If you are banking on the rapture theory, the idea that came from the mind of a mentally ill woman in 1830, you have just built your house on quick sand, for the rapture they talk about will whisk you away into Satan's camp.

It is time to come into our Lords beautiful truth, all of the Word. Being a Christian is living in reality, and being mature in your life where you know the direction your spiritual feet are going and the path you are on. There are not many paths, but one path. You are either on it, or you are not. It is to late to play church, and sucking milk bottles of truth, but going into the meat of the entire Word. There is a famine in our day, and that family is not for the food we eat but for the hearing of the Word of God.

Amos 8:11 "Behold the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:"

Amos 8:12 "And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the Word of the Lord, and shall not find it."

You are living in this day Amos was talking about some twenty seven hundred years ago. This prophecy is reality today.
