PREFACE

Ipray that as each garment is explained that at the end of each section you can allow the Holy Spirit to clothe you with that particular garment or portion thereof. Then allow each garment to help you grow more intimate with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Keeper of the Wardrobe

According to 2 Kings 22:14 and 2 Chronicles 34:22, there was a keeper of the wardrobe for the priestly garments. The garments were to remain undefiled because the priests at that time had defiled themselves by burning incense to other gods (demons and fallen angels). This keeper was Huldah the prophetess. Her husband was a Levitical priest. She represents the prophetic Bride that keep the wardrobe of the priests pure and undefiled. Because Jesus is our High Priest, and we are His priests after the Melchizedek priesthood. This priesthood supersedes the Levitical priesthood of the Mosaic covenant. Huldah’s husband represents those priests that wear their wardrobe undefiled. As part of the prophetic people, in the name of Jesus, I release the undefiled priests’ garments to be put on/(en dü o).

Purpose of the Garments

In the Epistle of the Revelation of Jesus Christ chapter 2, verses 18-29, Jesus declares the spirit of Jezebel has corrupted the church of Thyatira. Through the progression of each garment, each one gives you a new battle technique against this spirit and the whole satanic/demonic kingdom. This spirit along with the Delilah, and the Leviathan/Python/Anaconda spirits represent a major force and portion of the controlling spirits of the harlot church spoken of in Revelation 17. These spirits and those associated with it are part of the beast, Queen of Heaven, and the anti-Christ system. They are exalting spirits commissioned in the last days to try to rub out the true Church, the Man Child of God. The Man Child of God is also known as the Christ or body of Jesus here on Earth according to a different interpretation of Revelation 12. Just to remind you, this Christ spoken of helps put down the counterfeit spirits that exalt themselves above Jesus and His Father, who blasphemy the Holy Spirit.

As His Body, we will overcome the spirits that were just written about, and any other controlling spirits. Now let us investigate the garments of the Warrior Priesthood. Every part of the garments are aspects of the Lord Jesus Christ that He wants to wrap around you.

PART I – CLOTHED IN THE GARMENTS OF THE PRIEST

Chapter 1: The Garment of Salvation

After the garment of the rainbow colors of light is put on, discussed in detail in Generation ZION , written by the author, we then (en dü o)/put on the garment of salvation. Isaiah 61:10 (World English Bible (WEB)) proclaims that God clothed me with the garments of salvation. Please note that this says garments not garment. Why garments? Because salvation comes in many stages. Each garment is put on or wrapped around us where they represent an aspect of salvation brought forth to clothe you. It is written that in remembrance of Zion that the Lord clothes her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy (Psa. 132:16 Dar).

According to Vine’s Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words, the Greek word for salvation is Soteria which is Strong’s Number G4991. In context to the meaning of the Believer and follower of Jesus, it is spiritual deliverance from eternal separation from God, the power to deliver from the bondage of sin, the continual national establishment of Israel, and eternal life to rule and reign with Jesus Christ.

WHAT SALVATION ESTABLISHES

The spiritual deliverance from eternal separation from God is found in repentance. Repentance is the action of turning away from your sin due to Godly sorrow. In Acts 3:19 it is written that you must repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord. Jesus is the only One who can save people [Salvation is found/present in no one else]. ·No one else [No other name given to people] ·in the world [under heaven] can save us. (Acts 4:12 (The Expanded Bible (EXB)).

At His coming, our physical salvation becomes a reality and with-it vengeance against the unbeliever and disobedient of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is written that when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, punishing those who don’t know God, and to those who don’t obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus, who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might, when he comes in that day to be glorified in his saints and to be admired among all those who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed (2 The. 1:7-10 WEB underline mine) and anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death (see Rev. 20:14-15). Are you glad that your name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life (see Rev. 13:8)?

Salvation in the aspect of deliverance from the bondage of sin will be discussed in chapter 3 The Garment of Salvation/ Deliverance.

Salvation also entails the national establishment of the Kingdom of Israel from the Throne of David. First and foremost, we are grafted into the true olive tree and the commonwealth of Israel and covenants of promise with the Nation of Israel whereupon national Israel (Jews/Israelites) will be saved (see Rom. 11:17, Eph. 2:12, Rom. 11:26). It is written that Jesus will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom (Luk. 1:32-33 WEB underline mine).

Salvation to the Christian and those who overcome will be saved by fulfilling the Father’s will/business in their lives by believing and looking towards Jesus by keeping His word and working through their commissioned works to the end of their lives. They will be part of the first resurrection; those who are changed in the twinkling of an eye from mortality to immortality, death has no more power in us; they will have the power of the nations, and they will rule and reign with Jesus (see John 6:40, 1 Cor. 15:53-54, Rev. 2:26-27, Rev. 12:5, Rev. 20:5-6).

What does this Garment of Salvation look like?

The garment of salvation is white due to being dipped in the Blood of the Lamb (see Rev. 7:14). Part of the Warrior priesthood ministry, though the above description is about those slain during the Great Tribulation is that they will serve God, day and night in His temple (see Rev. 7:15). We are the Temple of the Holy Spirit or the Temple that is not made with hands (see 1 Cor. 6:19; Act. 7:48).

The Apostle John was taken up in the Spirit, yet he was on Earth simultaneously. John is a type of the end-time Warrior who will be able to see into the Heavenly realm by being physically placed on the Earth and call the hidden things out from God that needs to be made spiritually or physically present in these last days.¹ For Paul could do those things, and Paul was the apostle to the Gentile Bride.

SALVATION ALLOWS US TO BE HIS MOUNT ZION

Again, we are Mount Zion because we know that we are living stones being built as a habitation for Jesus, the Chief Cornerstone. We are part of the church of the firstborn who are registered in Heaven, who are becoming a spiritual house that we praise Him for making us His people and called us out of darkness into His marvelous light (see 1 Pet. 2:4-6; Heb. 12:22-23; 1 Pet. 2:9-10). Father God tells Zion, You are My people (Isa. 51:16).

God promises that for His choosing Zion, He has desired it for His dwelling place:

"For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation. ‘This is my resting place forever. I will live here, for I have desired it. I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread...I will make the horn of David to bud there.
