Last night I couldn't sleep, so I opened my blinds to take a look at the night sky. There was just one blinking red star staring at me from my window. So of course I pulled out my phone. I have a stargazing app on my phone, you know, to identify what that star was, and I found out it was Mars. I would love to own a telescope one day. I think I would I enjoy it stargazing. I would enjoy it, you know, with a with an advanced equipment. The stargazing app on my phone actually does amazing things because it will display the constellations so that you can easily identify them. Sometimes it's kind of a distraction, so I try to turn it off. But I think it's really awesome. Now, the remarkable thing about stargazing is realizing just how many stars there are in space. When you think about it or when you check the statistics, it's truly mind-boggling because astronomers estimate that the observable universe contains approximately 26 million stars. This is really a staggering figure, but the reason they came up with this figure is from the estimated number of galaxies, which is about 2 trillion. Estimated. So, like this cannot be the entire number, and each of these galaxies, these 2 trillion galaxies, would have an average of 100 billion stars. So that means if we want to put this into perspective, we're saying that the number of stars in the observable universe would exceed the number of grains of sand on all the beaches on the earth. This tells us that our cosmos is really vast and that the multitude of celestial bodies are quite a lot. Again, I want to emphasize the fact that these estimates that I just gave you pertain only to the observable universe, which you know scientists are able to currently detect and study. So that means we don't know what lies beyond the observable. We don't even know if the observable universe is about is it one-third of the rest of the universe. We don't know how vast the universe really is. But we know that the entire universe will be significantly larger and will contain even more stars beyond our observational reach. When I was looking at the star last night, Mars is an entire planet, but to me, it was just a twinkling light, really pretty, standing out in the night sky, majestic, impersonal, like it has nothing to do with me. But the Bible paints a very different picture. The Bible tells us that these heavenly bodies, the stars, of course, Mars is not a star now, but to us, it looks like a star is a planet. But the stars that we see, they are not just mere light. Mars is a planet. Do I believe that there is life on Mars? Yes, we just can't see them. We do know that all these stars that we see in the sky, they are connected to a spiritual and intelligent reality that the Bible calls the host of heaven. In this episode, this is going to be our focus. We are talking about the host of heaven. We're talking about the mystery of the host of heaven. We're going to be exploring who they are, what they do, their relationship with God, and also their interaction with us. In our previous episodes, I've said this over and over and over again. We are not alone in the universe. So if you've been listening to DIY Salvation, you know what I'm about to say. We are not alone in the universe. In our discussion today, we're going to break it down and make it easier for you to understand. The cosmos is organized, it is alive, it is populated with spiritual persons. And these persons are what are known as the host of heaven. They are part of God's divine, you know, administration in some aspects, beings that control they're like in leadership position. The term host in the Bible refers to a great assembly or a vast multitude of persons. So if stars were not actually living beings, they wouldn't be referred to as a host. Okay, so several times in the Bible you see the host of Israel. Even when it's talking about other nations, maybe in in terms of a war, you hear maybe the host of media and the host of Philistine, but the host of Israel is used most of the time to explain the collective of the nation Israel. The host of heaven specifically points to spiritual beings that are intelligent, they are intelligent entities that exist within the physical universe. Although they inhabit the physical universe, they are in a realm that we cannot yet reach or see. So I've said this several times that the physical universe, what the Bible calls earth, the one that we see, our universe right now that we're living in, it's all the physical universe. So many times when we refer to the spiritual realm, we oftentimes refer to the spiritual realm as you know, maybe the realm that Satan inhabits, which is the underworld, or the realm that angels inhabit, or the realm that hybrid beings also inhabit. And many times, because we just can't see them, we say it's spiritual. But the truth of the matter is that that's not what the Bible says. The Bible says that there is a heaven and there's the earth. The heaven universe is the actual spiritual realm, the earth universe is the physical realm. But based on our makeup as three-dimensional beings, 95% of this physical realm of the physical universe is not visible to us. We are not able to see, although we do interact with these invisible aspects of the universe, but is invisible to us based on our physical makeup. Okay, so that's what we're talking about. That these beings, these intelligent beings, they exist within the physical universe, but in a realm that we cannot yet reach or see. Now, the host of heaven operates under divine command. It's God who controls the entire thing because he's the king of the earth. Stars are therefore not merely inanimate objects or poetic symbols. They are living spirits with roles, they have responsibilities, they have personalities. Our son is an angel, he has roles to play, he has responsibilities, and he has his own personality. If we're reading biblical stories, the term host even carries the weight of a military or a governmental body that is organized, it is ranked, it is purposeful. Alright, so we're going to be looking at some facts about the host of heaven so that you can understand this a lot better. I told you that understanding the nature of the host of heaven will help us to better understand our place in the universe and our place in the story of redemption. Number one fact about the host of heaven is that the host of heaven from the Bible specifically refers to all stars. The sun is a star. So even our own Son, I told you, is part of the host of heaven. In Daniel chapter 8, verse 10, we see this verse of scripture that says, And it was great even to the host of heaven, and it cast down some of the hosts and of the stars to the ground and stamped upon them. In this verse of scripture, speaking about the rebellion of Lucifer, we see that the temp the word stars and the host of heaven are one and the same spiritual beings that are cast down in rebellion. It works great even to the host of heaven, and it cast down some of the hosts and of the stars. So you see some of the host and of the stars, one and the same group of people, and stamped upon them. Okay, so they are one of and the same spiritual beings that were cast down during the rebellion. Deuteronomy chapter 4, verse 19 warns us and says, And least thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the host of heaven. So the host of heaven includes the moon, the stars, and the rest of whatever is in the universe, even all the hosts of heaven should th be driven to worship them and serve them, which the Lord thy God had divided unto all nations under the whole heaven. You can see in this verse of scripture that the moon, the star are also part of the host of heaven, and God was saying, Don't worship them, don't be driven to we should not be driven to worship them or to serve them, because he the Lord He has divided the host of heaven unto all nations under the whole heaven. That means the host of heaven, as we're looking at the entire universe, it's not just random, it's been divided into nations under the whole heaven. What heaven are we talking about? The universe heaven. I told you heaven is the original universe, so it sits on top of the firmament, and then we are now the the reflection, the inverted heaven, which is now the inverted universe, which is now the earth universe that we're in. So we are in a mirror dimension of the heaven, the original universe. So is it's the inverted world we're living in right now. Okay. The second fact about the host of heaven is that I've I think I've just said this now. God has divided the host of heaven into nations under the whole heaven. I just mentioned that now. The Hebrew word that is translated as unto all in Deuteronomy chapter 4, verse 19, is cole, cole is the same word that is also translated as whole. So a more precise reading of the verse will be, and the stars, even all the hosts of heaven, which the Lord thy God had divided whole nations under the whole heaven. So this phrasing now conveys a sense of completeness and totality that every galaxy, every star has been apportioned into nations. All planets, galaxies, stars, they all have been apportioned into nations with leaders. Even Mars, as you see, has a presiding person on our earth, our planet Earth, right? Adam was supposed to be the king of this earth. He was the number one man. So he was supposed to cultivate and then, of course, be the king of this earth. But he handed it over to Satan, and Satan messed up the entire thing. But now we still have a king of our of this planet, which is Jesus Christ, all right? So every planet you see, even Mars, has a presiding person, has someone that is the king of that planet. Do you get? So when the Bible talks about the kings of the earth, it's not just talking about the kings of this, our planet earth, it's talking about the kings of the earth universe also. There are some, depending on the context, of course, depending on the context you're you're reading it, you would know. You would know he's talking about the kings of the the world, the kings of the earth, the the universe earth. The implication is staggering, which is that the universe itself is structured into nations, and the host of heaven governs all these nations. So the host of heavens that the the collective of these kings, the kings of the earth, basically, they are the collective of the kings of the earth. Number three fact is that the host of heaven is made up of conscious spiritual persons who serve in God's administration. If you read 1 Kings chapter 22, there is a throne room scene, you know, where there's a meeting in heaven, basically, and God is having a meeting with this group of people. And the Bible calls this group of people who the host of heaven. They are seen standing on either side of God's throne, and they were participating in a divine meeting and also engaging in dialogue with God. God asked the question and they answered, and you can see that they are described as standing, speaking, and also volunteering for divine missions. So the picture of the host of heaven we see having a conversation with God is that they are humanoid, they look like men, but then there are stars. How is that possible? I've told you. Because when they appear to you, the stars we see in the sky is the representation of their glory. Even you yourself, when we eventually get to heaven, that's how we're also going to be represented. We would all have stars in the sky. Do you understand? We would have stars, but then when we come to when you appear, you appear humanoid, you look humanoid. But that's the that's your your power, that's your real estate, that's everything. And remember that stars from stars they have stars birth planets. Do you understand? And planets orbit the stars, so nations will come out of you, just like the Bible says, nations truly will come out of you. The next fact is that the host of heaven engages in meetings with the most high God, which we have just seen. Another example of such meetings will see in Job chapter 1, verse 6, and Job chapter 2, verse 1. Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. So you see now that the sons of God and host of heaven, the same group of people, and Satan was counted among them. That's the reason why we say Satan is was also a star. And after he crashed, Jesus said something. Jesus said that I beheld Satan fall like lightning from the sky. When a star is supernovae in, that's what happens. It looks like lightning from the point from depending on the point of view where you're looking at it. It looks like lightning and he fell down. Is it down to the earth? No, he fell down into the underworld because it's the earth universe we're talking about. When he says down to the earth, it's the earth universe, down to the ground, is the earth universe. So he's a star supernovas and it stretches the fabric of reality and it bec forms a black hole. That's exactly what happened to Satan. Okay, so Satan is no longer hanging up there. That's the reason why he's down down Satan now. The next fact is that the host of heaven is called spirits, so they are in fact not aliens. The rest of the universe is inhabited, they are not inhabited with aliens, they are inhabited with spirits. The beings in the universe are uniform. That's what I'm trying to tell you. The fit beings in the universe are uniform. Spirits are either humanoid or bestial or multifaceted. That means you find humanoids, you find spirits that look like humans, with which we've talked about. You find spirits that look like beasts, all right. All right, and then we also find spirits that will look like they are multifaceted, not hybrid. I I refrain from using the word hybrid because they are not breeded. Okay, these are beings that God created. So you can find a spirit that has cow cows' feet and four faces, for example, and the body of a man, okay? Multifaceted beings. So that's how spirits are. So that's like the makeup of what we call spirits. Those are that's the makeup. So of course, there are also birds, fish, marine life, right? And all of those things in the rest of the universe as well. But when we're talking about beings that will speak, have personalities, will talk, you know, and are going to be given responsibilities, and they will be punished if they do otherwise, you know, beings that have free moral agency. We're talking about spirits. Okay. So they are not alien, they have the same spiritual reality as us. That's why we don't call them aliens. In first Kings chapter 22, verse from verse 20 to 21. The Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab that he may go up and fall as Ramad Gilead? And one said on this manner, that's one of the hosts of heaven, said on this manner, and another said on that manner. So there was a back and forth, okay? And there came forth a spirit. So we now see that the host of heavens, they are spirits, and stood before the Lord and said, I will persuade him. So when we say spirit, yes, we cannot see them from our point of view, but they do have bodies, they have spiritual bodies, okay? They are beings that look like they look humanoid, but their bodies behave like wind. That's the reason why the Bible calls them Roach. The translation for the word spirit is Roach, like breath. Okay, breath, that's what they are. So that's who you are, also. You are a spirit that is living in this body. So once your spirit leaves this body, people that do astral projection, their spirit leaves the body, their body lives life lifeless, and the spirit is able to, you know, fly and go different places in a split second and all that. Yeah. So there came forth a spirit and stood before the Lord and said, I will. So the spirit spoke, said, I will persuade him. So the host of heaven, they are not inanimate stars alone, they are spirits, they reason, they speak, and they are free-thinking agents. They can stand before God and offer counsel or even solutions. We also see the same account in 2 Chronicles chapter 18, from verse 18 to 21, which is the same thing. I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne, all the hosts of heaven, standing on his right hand and on his left hand. Then there came out a spirit and stood before the Lord and said, I will entice him. And the Lord said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail. Go out and do even so. So we know that when you see a spirit said, I'm the one that's going to go, and God says go, you know already that this spirit is an angel. An angel is a messenger of God. The next fact about the host of heaven is that the host of heaven are spiritual beings who worship God. Nehemiah chapter 9, verse 6 says, Thou, even thou art Lord alone, thou hast made the heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their hosts, and the host of heaven worshiped thee. So you see the differentiation. There is heaven, that's the heaven universe. There is the heaven of heavens, that's the topmost heaven, the highest heaven. He now says, With all their hosts. So all these realms that have been mentioned, and he says, With all their hosts, so they all have the host in them. Then at that ends with the verse with saying, and the host of heaven, which is talking about our own earth now, they all do what? They worship thee. So the host of heaven are they are not mindless, you know. They are they they worship, they are alive, they are interactive. God preserves them just as he preserves us as well. Okay, so they are beings that worship God, not just inanimate stars, they are intelligent spiritual worshipers as well. Psalm 148, verse 3 says, Praise ye him, son and moon. Ah ah, son and moon should praise. Do you see that? Praise ye him, sun and moon. Praise him, all ye stars of light. These things are not poetic. I told you the Bible is literal. Okay, King David knew these things. These are things that people in the Old Testament, in the New Testament, they knew these things. Okay, praise ye him, Son and Moon. Praise him, all ye stars of light. So stars can praise God. It calls on the celestial bodies and the stars, they should praise God. Imagine if the mountains can praise God, stones can praise God. Why do you think that stars cannot praise God? They are intelligent beings that praise God, all right? Fact number seven the number of the host of heaven is beyond comprehension. Jeremiah chapter 33, verse 22. As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured, so will I multiply the seed of David, my servant. Wow, is that not awesome? The host of heaven cannot be numbered. So, with all the statistics that science has given to us, truthfully, they cannot be numbered. In human tense, how are they going to reach there? They cannot be numbered. But I believe that when it comes to the spiritual realm, when we get, you know, when we are when this world ends and all of that, we would know the number because God knows every one of the host of heaven, every single spirit that is born of God that came out of God, God knows every single person by name. If God knows every single strand of hair on your head, imagine that He He knows definitely. If He can know up until that point of numbering the sand on the seashore, God surely knows how much the host of heaven is. The number is beyond comprehension for us, but not for God. Fact number eight: the host of heaven is not incorruptible. Okay, we were told when we're growing up that angels are beings that just do the work of God, they don't have free moral agency, that they are just like robots. No, angels are not like robots, spirits are not like robots, they all have free moral agency. This earth universe is a testing ground, it is a testing ground for all free moral agents. So it's not just us on this planet earth that are actually being tested, the rest of the universe is being tested, and that's the reason why stars still die. Entire civilizations are going down with stars that are crashing as well. So they are not incorruptible. Stars can sin, they can fail, they die spiritually, they fall literally, like fall from the sky. When stars sin, they begin to die, they are caught up from the hydrogen supply because they are separated from the light of God and they now walk in darkness, just like how Lucifer and his cohorts are right now in the underworld, and they eventually burn out and fall from space, taking down entire civilizations with them. So the host of heaven would sin when they go off their assigned path. For example, the angels who came down to marry the wives of the children of men. Why would the king of a star that is the king of entire civilizations decide that he wanted to come to our small planet earth just to make sure that he has children with the children of men because he wants to partake of redemption? I don't even understand the mindset, okay? But they did these things to try to corrupt the work of God on this earth, which is that God wanted to have pure breed because he knew that Jesus was going to be born. But you see, these angels came down to deliberately corrupt the bloodline of Adam on purpose. Do you see? So they sinned, and so we know that all dead stars are fallen angels, black holes are their prisons where they experience the blackness of darkness forever. When the host of heaven accepts worship from nations, for example, they also step out of order and then they also fall. Isaiah 24 from verse 21 to 22, it says, In that day the Lord will punish the host of heaven in heaven and the kings of the earth on the earth, they will be gathered together as prisoners in a pit. One day, all the host of heaven that sinned, and including all the kings of the earth that sinned, will all be gathered together as prisoners in a pit. So this shows us that even heavenly beings, these heavenly beings and angels and spirits, they are accountable to God. When they rebel, they are also judged, just like the kings of the earth. And this connects to our earlier discussion about the underworld, which we've talked about, that reveals that both fallen angels and human beings will all end up confined in the underworld, in the prison. Right? Fact number number nine the host of heaven is also referred to as the sons of God. I'd mentioned this before, just break it down a little bit more. The host of heaven are actually the first species of the sons of God that was ever revealed. Job chapter 38, verse 7 says, When the morning stars sank together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy. So you see that these beings were present at creation. Okay? They were present at creation, they were singing, they were rejoicing, they were actively involved, and they sing. Stars do sing, okay? Angels sing. When Jesus was born, you saw that all the angels they sang beautiful songs and they also spoke. We talk about angelic voices, we talk about angelic music, we know that angels sing, but did you ever think that these angels are stars and stars actually sing? That's the reason why the Bible says, when the morning stars sang together. So, as sons of God, what this will mean is that they are also humanoid in form. But because they have existed and advanced for ages, possibly millions of years, right? They have become fully developed stars themselves. That's where their glory is. Right now, I cannot see your glory. Okay, I can't see how bright you are, you know, but you you can tell, you know, the glory of God in our realm usually is seen, you know, through how much influence somebody has, for example, and so on and so forth. Do you understand? That's how you know that, okay. The glory of God, that you there's something connected to the glory of God. The person is healing people or the person is doing like some strange acts of God, you see. So you now say, Wow, this person's life is full of glory. Okay, but there'll be a time when we'll I will be able to see you as you are, you'll be able to see me as I am. Okay, when we are revealed like that, then you can you can we can now see our stars, our stars will be up in the sky, you know. There's a space, there's a place. Jesus said, In my father's out there, many mansions. So there is actually a space that is marked X in the New Jerusalem, okay? Because our stars are not supposed to be here. That's what the new Jerusalem universe is for. So in the new Jerusalem, it's it's it's marked for you already. Jesus already promised us that, okay? So it's marked for you already, and the more you do here, that's the more your star is burning brightly. I mean, how do we know that I don't already have a star in the new Jerusalem right now? How do you already know that you're you don't already have a star? That's where the the collective of your glory or your your cultivation, that's where it's being held, you know. So how do you know it's not there already? But when it's time and you're transformed to your spiritual body, it'll be easy for you to now see, oh wow, this is who I am. Okay, as sons of God, I said they are humanoid in form and they have existed and advanced for for ages, okay? And they have become fully developed stars, you know, themselves with entire civilizations emerging from them, which the planets represent. Okay, each star connects the planets, and those planets the host life forms that are tied to the stars. So these celestial beings are often referred to as angels, sent ones, messengers of God. Therefore, every star you see in the observable universe, I told you, is an angel. However, there is a key difference between the host of heaven as sons of God and us, the redeemed sons of God. Although the host of heavens are ancient and they are powerful, we, the redeemed human beings, we are actually a superior species of the sons of God in God's divine order. Why? We are different because we are one spirit with the Lord. The Holy Spirit lives inside of us, but he does not live inside the rest of the host of heavens. We are chosen for this particular duty that God will recreate us for lack of a better expression as avatars of himself, you know, of his children, he's in us. That's what I'm trying to say. That's the reason why the book of Hebrews highlights the supremacy of Christ over angels. He said, To which of the angels did God ever say, Sit at my right hand? Why was Christ being compared to angels in this verse of scripture? The reason for this comparison is because even Christ Himself is a star. I've told you this. If you have not listened to the episode, God is a star. That is the beginning of cosmic edition for you. You better go and listen to it before you listen to any other thing. God is a star. So Jesus is a star. All the rest of the angels are also stars. Okay, they are also spirits. God is a spirit. That's what the Bible says. We are created in his image. Okay, so Jesus is a star, and he's also a firstborn son of the sons of men. That's the reason why the comparison is necessary. We have a unique authority and inheritance that we got through Jesus Christ, and this is something that the angelic hosts, despite their glory, they do not share. This is the reason why those angels had to come down to marry the marry women. They are not even supposed to marry because they're already angels now. They've cultivated till that. But what is the reason why they had to come and do that? It's obvious that they were already sinning. These are sinful angels already. They wanted to corrupt the pure bloodline of the Messiah. In the Bible, there are a lot more verses where the sons of God and the host of heaven appear either interchangeably or in overlapping context. Alright, fact number 10: the host of heaven they are also referred to as the watchers or the holy ones. In Daniel chapter 4, verse 17, this matter is by the decree of the watchers and the demand by the word of the holy ones. The word watchers in Aramaic actually describes heavenly beings that are fully awake, vigilant, observant of the affairs of both heaven and earth, and they are called holy ones because they belong to God, set apart to serve his purposes. So this tells us an important truth about the cosmos. It is not silent, it is not inactive. The universe is overseen by a divine counsel of God. Spiritual beings who are also called watchers or witnesses, whom some of them came down to marry women. They witnessed the participate in even pronounce judgments in alignment with what with God's sovereign will. Alright, fact number 11 God set the boundaries of the nations in the universe according to the number of the host of heaven. We've seen this verse of scripture that tells us that God divided the nations, alright, the host of heaven into nations. Deuteronomy chapter 32, verse 8, in the older translations give us a different reading that is quite significant. And this difference in reading is key for us to understand the idea that God set the boundaries to keep the nations in the universe apart on purpose. Okay, these boundaries were determined mathematically according to the number of angels of God or according to the number of stars. This is how God divided it. The existence of these boundaries implies that God intended for each of these nations to have autonomy. So those angels had no business coming into our world to come and mess up the system. They had no reason at all. In the Septuagint, that's the Greek Old Testament. This is how it reads. It says, He said that God set the boundaries of the nations according to the number of the angels of God. Wow. In the Dead Sea Scrolls, it says, God fixed the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God. You see, angels of God, sons of God, used interchangeably. So these older readings reflect to us a cosmic worldview that the King James Version has removed. Okay? God assigned each nation its unique territory, his unique place, his unique boundary, and his unique spiritual overseer. Whom, of course, for us it was Adam, Adam messed up, but to tell you that God will never leave a system like that. After Adam messed up, Satan took over. So there's always a king of each planet. This whole thing that we think we're having governments and then we're not having grassroots, we now have the presidency, we have states, we have counties, and so on and so forth. We think that maybe we came up with them. No, this is how God ordained it from the beginning. Just get a brilliant idea. Oh, yeah, let's do it like this, and then we do it, and then the system is working. No, this is how God created us, this is how He put these things in our heart from the beginning. It has always been so. Fact number 12: the host of heaven are morning stars. We've already read in Job chapter 38, verse 7, that tells us that the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy. So it connects the host of heavens with the morning stars and the sons of God. So it tells us that the celestial beings are not just merely distant lights, but they are living, joyful, intelligent spirits that are celebrating God's creative work. The question now is what are morning stars in the Bible? A morning star in the Bible is a sun that rises and sets. That means the host of heaven are all what stars. Very literal. The morning star will signal the dawning of the new day. In Isaiah chapter 14, verse 12, Lucifer was an angel. Lucifer was also a son, he was also a star. When Lucifer fell, the entire civilizations connected with him were destroyed as well. Hebrews tells us that that civilization was a dispensation of angels. In Revelation chapter 22, verse 16, Jesus calls himself the bright and morning star. As you already know, God is a star. So morning stars are portrayed as radiant, brilliant, bright, and powerful beings. They stand in God's presence, but they are stars, though. Do you see? They love singing, they shout with joy, they participate in the cosmic celebration of God's creation. So, yes, they are stars, but they are also living intelligent spirits that are endowed with personality and purpose. So that means when we're talking about the host of them, we're talking about is a study on stars, is a study on angels. Okay, is a study on angels. At the birth of Jesus, the morning stars or the heavenly hosts, they sang and praised God. Suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly hosts. This is Luke chapter 2, verse 13 to 14. There was a multitude of the heavenly hosts. That's the host of heaven. What were they doing? Praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest and on earth, peace, goodwill unto men. This is very key for you to understand because understanding the host of heaven will reshape your view of the universe. So, and I hope that this would imprint upon your heart that the cosmos is truly alive with spiritual reality, and that you are part of a much grander story than just, you know, your family story, your background, you know, your job, your church. You're part of a much grander story. And it includes divine beings, you know, that have assigned roles, responsibilities, and even missions. Okay. So I hope that this inspires in you like a deeper reverence for God, you know, to see how majestic God is and have a greater awareness of spiritual realm that are at work around us. The final thing about the host of heaven is that the host of heaven shall be dissolved. Isaiah chapter 34 from verse 4 to 5 gives us a profound glimpse into a divine transition of authority. And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll, and all their hosts shall fall down, as the leaf falls off from the tree, and as a falling fig from the fig tree. For my sword shall be bathed in heaven. Behold, it shall come down upon Idumir and upon the people of my curse to judgment. So you see here in this passage, there's this a prophetic word talking about the dissolution of the governmental order, the the heavenly order of the host of heaven. When this happens, the physical structure of the universe is going to be altered and the spiritual offices of the host of heaven will be dismantled. So that means every spiritual being that once held delegated authority over nations and over regions, they will all be removed. Because it is not only Lucifer who rebelled. I told you many among the host of heaven have also failed in their divine assignment. In fact, it was this particular information that God told me when I first started doing this study, and God told me he's a star, and then I continued following with the instructions he was giving me and the telling me or teaching me all of these things, right? When I learned about the heaven universe and then the earth universe, I was overwhelmed. I was like, wow, this is so beautiful, this is so wonderful, God. And then God said, I'm going to destroy everything. I was like, why? Then he told me, Are you not seeing what's going on? The rebellion continues. It was not only Lucifer that rebelled, the rebellion continues. Why? Because this realm is a testing realm. Not only did it continue, there is a gap. There's a cosmic gap that needs to be filled. Okay, I don't know if I'll be led by the Holy Spirit for us to talk about the cosmic gap, right? There's a gap that needs to be filled, and that cosmic gap, for it to be filled, this entire system needs to be dismantled and renovated. So God was telling me, He said, There is far more rebellion in the heavens than commonly understood. The continued decay and death of stars in the natural realm, it shows us a deeper spiritual breakdown. You know, and then he led me to Esau and Jacob. He told me, Esau and Jacob represent two lines of inheritance, one rejected, one chosen. He says, the same way the host of heaven is Esau, representative of Esau, has been set aside in favor of a new spiritual lineage, who is who? Jacob and Israel. If you know the story of Esau and Jacob, Esau seems to be like the child who was, you know, he was after his father's heart. He was more into personal works, doing things the right way. But he had no respect for spiritual things. He had no honor for God. Because, see the way he just threw away his bedright, just like that, for a for a bowl of what porridge. So Esau is going to be set aside for Jacob. Jacob, the unruly one, Jacob the supplanter, Jacob that his head used to touch, is the same Jacob that God chose. So we now see that it was not because of anything that we did that God chose us. God chose us in his own love, in his own kindness, in his own divine selection or election. Do you see? It was not based on anything, he just chose us, not based on our works. So that's the reason why we have to depend on him. Okay? Like Malachi chapter 1 from verse 2 2 to 3 says, I have loved you, said the Lord. Yet you say, Wherein have you loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother, said the Lord? It's the Lord is now answering. Jacob was Esau's brother now. Yet I love Jacob. That's what I'm trying to tell you that we are there are no aliens in the rest of the universe. Do you get? These angels are our brethren. We are all spirits made in the image of God, sons of God. Yet God loved Jacob and he hated Esau and He laid his mountains and his heritage waste. So although Esau was the firstborn, just like the host of heaven were the firstborn, he despised his birthright. In the same way the host of heaven, those original sons of God, created long before Adam, they were entrusted with rule and order. Many of them failed. Psalm 8 reflects, he says, he tells us of how bewildered they were when God decided to favor mankind. Psalm 8 verse 4 to 5. What is man that thou art mindful of him, and the son of man that thou visitest him? For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and you have crowned him with glory and honor. Well, who is this man? He's not even he has a spiritual body like us, but he's not even able to use utilize his spiritual body. He's now trapped in a physical three-dimensional body. So you made him lower than us, in other words, because we are like multidimensional beings, right? Because they can, if they can go to the heaven of heavens, they are multidimensional. So they are free. So they're like, uh-uh, why is this man like this so limited? And yet you crown him with what? Glory and honor. The angels were astonished at God's plan for mankind, because they themselves represent Esau in the prophetic analogy. They are the stronger than the older sibling, they are also bypassed for the younger, weaker sibling. But you see, as I told you before, God's choice is rooted in his purpose, not in the natural order. Isaiah chapter 24, verse 21 to 22 clearly reveals that judgment is not limited to only our planet earth, but it also extends to spiritual powers in the heavens. On that day, the Lord will punish the host of heaven in heaven and the kings of the earth on the earth. They will be gathered together as prisoners in a pit. They will be shut up in a prison, and after many days they will be punished. So we see that both the host of heaven and the king of the kings of the earth, spiritual and natural authorities, all of them will be held accountable. They will also all be imprisoned within their final punishment. Of course, this further supports the truth that many among the host of heaven have betrayed their divine mandate, and that God is actively bringing about a complete restructuring of both the heaven universe and the earth universe and their governments. Their positions, the position of the host of heaven will be removed, and in their place, we the redeemed will become kings and priests and we will rule with Christ forever. In Isaiah chapter 34, we now see a judgment upon Esau, who is now spiritually understood as the fallen or the unfaithful host of heaven. For my sword shall be bathed in heaven. Behold, it shall come down upon Edomiah, which is Edom, Edom is Esau, and upon the people of my curse to judgment. Edomia is Edom, is a nation that descended from Esau. In this prophetic vision, Edom symbolizes those who were firstborn in position but rejected in purpose. These heavenly powers, as I told you, will be judged, their positions will be dissolved, their legacy will be removed. And when it talks about in heaven, it tells us that it's not just talking about an earthly kingdom, it's talking about celestial kingdoms. Can't God redeem them also, just like us? The host of heaven cannot be redeemed. Once they sin, they die. The reason is that God's dealings with the host of heaven is different with God's dealing for us. In fact, even us in this dispensation, the way God deals with us right now, is very different from the way he dealt with the Israelites. Several dispensations on the planet earth alone with different dealings of God with us. Do you get? Not to talk about the host of heaven. God's dealings with them is different. They have their own set of rules. They had things that God told them, do this, otherwise it will be accounted unto you as sin. And they failed. In the Old Testament, they needed to obey the laws of Moses, then it will be accounted unto them as righteousness. But for us, it doesn't give us a set of laws. He puts the Holy Spirit in us, and we have to obey the leading of the Spirit. Otherwise, it's accounted to us as sin. If we're not walking by faith, it's accounted to us as sin. Which one is more difficult now? A set of rules or the one that you have to listen to your heart. Some people don't even know when they are the Holy Spirit is talking. They are confused. They'll be saying, okay, they don't know when this is God talking to them. They don't even know the voice of God. Okay, so which is more tough? Everybody's own is difficult for them at the end of the day. But God in his wisdom knows that this is what fits us, the people in our dispensation, this is what fits us. This is we are appointed for this time. So the same way the host of heaven were also appointed for whatever system that God uses to judge them, you know, and but and once they sin, they die. Okay. And when they die, we mean they are spiritually caught up because spirits cannot really die. Do you get no not die like the way human beings die, right? But they are caught off from God. That's what is death. Some people among the host who maintain their status and their place, they may be reassigned in a new Jerusalem, right? Or in the new heaven and the new earth, you know, or even perhaps they'll be merged among the nations under the new administration. But you see, the vacant offices of the heavenly host, yeah, the host of heaven, will be filled by a new and eternal government or eternal order. Jesus, the when Jesus was born, it says, and the government shall be upon his shoulder. That means there will be a complete, you know, supplanting, just like Jacob supplant supplanted Esau, right? There will be a complete overthrow of the order, and a new order will come. And in that new order, that new administration, Revelation chapter 4, verse 4 says, And round about the throne were four and 20 seats, and upon the seat I saw four and twenty elders sitting. These 24 elders represent the 12 sons of Jacob, and which also represent the 12 tribes of Israel, and also the 12 apostles of the Lamb. This is the unified body of believers, Jews and Gentiles, old covenant and new covenant. That is, through the foundation of the apostles, God would establish, or God has already established, a royal priesthood, a race of kings and priests who are going to govern the entire creation. So the picture of the new heaven and the new earth will no longer be a dwelled universe, which is just heaven and earth. It will now be a tripartite universe, which is actually God's best, because you know, man is tripartite, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, you know, three in one. So the perfect universal system will be there. New Jerusalem universe, sitting on top of the heaven universe, sitting on top of the earth universe. That will be the final reordering of the world. Revelation chapter 5, verse 10, and God has made us unto our God kings and priests, and we shall reign on the earth. This is the new spiritual lineage, the Jacob, whom God has loved. And from this point forward, God's kingdom will be administered by those that are redeemed in Christ. We will rule, we will serve not only on the earth but also in the heavens, maintaining justice, maintaining peace, maintaining joy in the Holy Ghost forever and ever. Because by then, the cosmic gap. This is what I mean by the cosmic gap would have been bridged by then. Glory to God. If this episode blessed you, if DIY Salvation has been blessing you, please pray about supporting this show.
