Richard Pleasant

In 1968 Richard lived in Dana Point California. One Sunday morning at about 2 O’clock he was looking over the Pacific Coastline from his balcony, enjoying the view of the fishing boats, seeing their running lights reflecting off the surface of the water he recalled how big and bright the moon was that night. It was a beautiful sight as it shined along with all the different colors cast from the fishing boats and the reflection of it all on the water was enticing as if it were a tapestry he could walk upon. Richard enjoyed this beautiful sight so much he wasn’t aware of a cloud that was about the size of a man’s hand which had cloaked the moon off in the distance which caste the light of the moon majestically. From this cloud there appeared to be a host of Angels.

... In front of these was a a curtain of the same length, Babalonian tapestry embroidered with blue, white linen thread, scarelt and purple, a marvelous example of the craftman’s art. The mixture of materials had a clear mystic meaning, typifying all creation: it seemed that scarlet symbolized fire, linen the earth, blue the air, and purple the sea. in two cases the resemblance was one of color; in the linen and purple it was a question of origin, as the first comes from the earth, the second from the sea. Worked in the tapestry was the whole vista of the heavens except for signs of the zodiac...

The Foreword

This book is based on what Paul said: For indeed I did not receive it for a man, nor was I taught it, but rather by revelation

Galatians: 1:12.n

Who is Jesus, besides He is the first Son of God. but who is Jesus as a person.

If we understand who He really was, as a person, what makes Him tick

You might say, He is God. But according to the the Word. He first had to learn obedience, so He could, became the Son of God. And in the learning He suffered.

And in this learning, he became obedient, and by this obedience, it was a complete experience, which made Him perfectly equipped, which formed Him Into the True Son of God. What did Jesus learn, what walk did he walk? To become perfectly equipped. To be the truth Son of God. What did Jesus learn to become obedient? He learned to LISTEN to His Heavenly Father So if we can learn how to LISTEN We can become spiritually strong as He is,. Jesus did not really know about His destiny,

until He came to the age of 12, when He was in the temple for three days and nights. And when He was 20 Joseph is earthly dad, passed away. And since Jesus was the oldest of the family, He had to go to work to provide for the family, so He went to work in a rock quarry. And there in the quarry, just like in the Temple. His Heavenly Father, showed His Son, how He would build His kingdom, Jesus would become the Chief Cornerstone of His Glorious Church.

Psalm18: 22, Acts: 4:11, Ephesians: 2:19 - 22,1 Peter: 2:5 - 7.

• In the days of Jesus Christ, the buildings and the dwellings and the Temple, were all made of stone. The architects were so skilled in their work, they would look at the size of a lot, and determine what size of the structures, and by knowing the size of the structures they would know what size of a cornerstone they would use, which would support all the other stones. So it would depend on what size of the structure would be, to know how large to: hone the cornerstone. So by knowing the size of the cornerstone, they would hone all the other stones to the same proportion. Therefore that structure, would be able to withstand, any violent storm.

• For us to really understand the true meaning of Christ being the Chief Cornerstone. We need to understand, what does the Scripture means when it says "but about the day and the hour, no man knows, not even the angels, but my Father only.

• Mark: 13:32. Matthew: 24:36

• This do not sound like Paul in any way, when he said: But as to the suitable time and the precise season and dates brethren, you have no necessity for anything being written to you.

• For you yourself know perfectly well that the day of the[return of the] Lord will come[as unexpectedly and suddenly] as a thief in the night.

• When people are saying,All is well and secure, and, There is peace and safety, then in a moment unforeseen destruction(ruin and death) will come upon them as suddenly as labor pains comes upon a woman with child; and they shall be no means escape, for there will be no escape.

• But you are not in[to the power of] darkness, brethren, FOR THAT DAY TO OVERTAKE YOU BY SURPRISE LIKE A THIEF.

• 1 Thessalonians 5:1 - 9

• if you are saying, that Christ is said one thing, and Paul another. You’re right, because Christ is speaking of, when the Son of Man comes into His kingdom. And Paul is talking about, with the churches, meet the Lord,in the air forever to be with the Lord.

So when Christ is speaking of, the day and of the hour, no man knows, not even the angels, but my Father only. He is speaking of the Son of Man coming into his kingdom. And for us to get a clear understanding of this. We need the picture, a spiritual house being built, it is being built with living stones, and once the final living stone, has been placed in this spiritual house. Then the Son of Man will return, and take His place, as the Chief Cornerstone, and then the spiritual house will be completed.

When it is completed, then the kingdom of priests, according to the order and rank of Melchizedek will rise. .

So only the Father, knows the day and hour, when the last living stone. Will be placed in the spiritual house.

The book will give you more detail Of, when the spiritual house will been totally complete.

And when the kingdom of priests, is set up And then the Divine Presence of the Heavenly Father will return to Earth Shekinah glory.

This is the time when the final 10 kings, will rise on earth. Which is the sign, of the Antichrist setting up, to be the one world dictator.

Daniel: 2:44.

Look carefully what this passage of Scripture is say. This kingdom of priests according to the order and rank of Melchizedek, will ever be destroyed or shall it be left to another people, but it shall break and crash and consume ALL these kingdoms and it shall stand forever.

So if you want to learn and understand how to walk in Jesus Christ steps, and become a member of the kingdom of priests, according to the order in rank of Melchizedek.

Then read this book, and see how the kingdom of priests never dies, they never see the grave.

And if you are having any problem in believing in this spiritual house being built out of living stones. Then remember what Paul says"We are children of the light we will be aware when the churches is caught up..

1 Thessalonians: 5: 1 - 9, 11 Peter 3:9 - 14.

There are scholars and teachers who say there is a secret rapture.

John: 14:1 - 3.

Christ promised That He Would Return to Earth,

In acts 1:9 - 11

Christ will return to Earth the same way "in like manner the same way He went to heaven Matthew: 24:37 - 42, explains the Son of Man coming into His kingdom. In which some call this, a secret rapture. This kingdom of priests, will become a manifestation sons of God. There will be people side-by-side, but one that is manifested, will be taken away from the one who is not.

It would be spoken more in detail in the book.

But history tells us, when a king was raising his son, about the age of 12 or 13, a king would have his son to become familiar with the weapons, and also the enemy’s weapons. And a king would send his son out daily, for the son to practice with the weapons. That a king would use against his enemy. And a king’s son would become skillfully using the weapons, day by day. And then finally one day when the king’s son, would be so skilled in the weapons, that he would be able to overpower the king Caption. That is the Way It Was with God’s Son. The Heavenly Father equipped His Son to defeat Satan and his kingdom.

You have heard the saying not of this world, you might even have a sticker. I have spoken to the person who originally made the sticker.

John: 18:36 - 37.

When Christ made this statement, He Was Really Referring to, His Glorious Church. As Paul spoke of it in. Ephesians: 5:27.

Some scholars and Bible teachers, who said that, the Bible does not speak of a spiritual church.(a spiritual house) But it does

And if you want to know more about it, then read the church beyond the veil.

There is another sticker, that I’ve made, which says, make this day your masterpiece. Which comes from Ephesians: 2:10.

We are God’s workmanship created IN Christ, this word workmanship means masterpiece.

When we become saved, our inward person becomes a new creation, in some translations new creature. And It Is Our Heavenly Father, which created this new creation by His Spirit, and everything that God has ever created, is nothing to compare with the beauty of our inward person. It is His masterpiece.

The gospel of the kingdom of God, teaches us how we will become a manifestation Sons of God:

Christ said the purpose that He came, was to preach the kingdom of God.

The first miracle:

First miracle was at Cana. When Christ turned the water to wine.

Mary, said to Him "they have no more wine! Why He call his mother dear woman
