NOTE: Jim White says that we can learn much through converted
mediums. Raphael Gasson in his book “The Challenging Counterfeit,”
unveils satan and his demonic minions as clearly as any book that has
been written. He is the one that following his conversion found that
the “white spirit,” is as evil as the black spirit. It is truly
“the angel of light.” Jim White wholeheartedly concurs.</b></font></p>
<p class="western" style="margin-top: 0.01in;"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><b> Raphael
Gasson was an Englishmen and perfected the art of mediumship to the
highest degree. He spent up to 16 hours a day for 10 years to perfect
the manifestation of ectoplasm. How many Christian believers would
give such devotion like Rees Howells to be possessed by the Holy
Spirit – and spend such a time to perfect oneself as a selfless
channel to allow the Spirit to have His complete and wonderful way?</b></font></p>

<h1 class="western" style="margin-top: 0.01in;">HARMONY OF ISRAEL AND
THE CHURCH: APOSTLES AND TRIBES</h1>
<p class="western" style="margin-top: 0.01in;" align="CENTER"><br>
</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-top: 0.01in;">Our Lord Jesus linked
Israel and the church for post resurrection events in a most lucid
manner. In Matthew 19:28 and Luke 22:30 Jesus promised the twelve
apostles that in the regeneration or “restitution of all things,”
they would sit upon twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of
Israel. This indeed will finally bring Israel and the church into
harmony. In another section of this paper we see that the qualities
of human character in the tribes of Israel correspond to the key
doctrinal series in the New Testament church epistles. In Revelation
21:12 we read that each tribe in the New Jerusalem is represented by
a Pearly Gate, upon which the corresponding name is inscribed. In the
same City each apostle is a foundation stone and a pillar of witness
concerning the death and resurrection of our Lord, the chief corner
stone. Now, see this wonderful correspondence between each apostle
and the tribe over which he will rule. We should walk in the light
that each represents. Note: no pretense of absolute dogmatism is to
be assumed in this attempt to link the apostles with their
corresponding tribe. This also applies to the linkage of each tribe
with a corresponding New Testament series. However, some unusual
insight does appear in these guided linkages.</p>

HARMONY OF ISRAEL AND THE CHURCH</h2>
<p class="western" style="margin-top: 0.01in;" align="CENTER"><br>
</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-top: 0.01in;">This fourteen-lesson
survey constitutes a crash program for training lay eldership. The
twelve sons of Jacob plus the two sons of Joseph each represent a
dominant truth that finds a parallel in the natural series
represented in fourteen of the New Testament Epistles. Just as there
are seven churches of Revelation, so there are seven churches of
Paul. The first nine of the surveys are the keys to Paul’s seven
churches: Rome, Corinth, Galatia, Ephesus, Philippi, Colosse and
Thesssalonica. Ephesus is the fulcrum of these seven, and is the
church containing more than one of these natural series. Colosse
finds its series in John, and Thessalonica in Revelation.</p>

BENJAMIN</b></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"> is the
wolf-man, desperately needing conversion. King Saul and Saul of
Tarsus were of this tribe. Hebrews 6:1-2 (the Gospel for Jews) and
Romans (the Gospel for Gentiles) provide the steps that lead to a
true conversion experience. Study these twin presentations carefully,
for they are foundations for all that follows. A vital experience in
the Holy Spirit following water baptism leads naturally into all
further truth.</font></font></p>

Missions. 1 Corinthians 12:8-11, the gifts of the Spirit, make
Missions powerful and apostolic. Christians are to manifest gifts as
soon as saved. Missionary Paul justified his apostleship on the bases
of powerful gifts (1 Corinthians 12:12). Note that the Church of
Corinth, though a carnal church, yet manifested all the gifts of the
Spirit! Note also that in 1 Corinthians 12:28 and Ephesians 4:11, God
“set” (Aorist tense) and “gave” (Aorist tense) gifts and
ministries to the church for as long as there would be a church. God
did not intend them to cease with the apostolic age.</font></font></p>

the soul winner. Qualification for the soul winner is the Fruit of

guard against returning to legalism, man’s traditions, natural
man’s way of doing things and walking in lusts of the flesh
(Galatians 5:16). Sow to the Spirit that which you received after

JOSEPH </b></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">is the man of
fruitfulness and revelation: the two go together. See Daniel also.
Joseph united all the sons of Jacob for preservation in Egypt. The
spirit of Joseph is the spirit of Ephesians 4:3-6, which will unite
Israel and the church in the Millennium. These seven unities bind
together the whole body of Christ. If we are clear on the definitions
of this survey, we can fellowship together as Christians in these
great essentials, until 1 Corinthians 1:10 and Isaiah 29:24 are
fulfilled.</font></font></p>

EPHRAIM </b></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">is also a
Fruitful one. He is a type of the church even in her backsliding. The
ministry-gifts of Christ in Ephesians 4:11, 1 Corinthians 12:28,
Titus 1:5 and 1 Timothy 3:12 lead individual members into obedience
and faith unto baptism, and all the glories of Kingdom privileges.
This Ephraim ministry will bring forth the goal of Ephesians 4:12-16
for the church.</font></font></p>

GAD</b></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">, a lion, a troop,
is he who is overcome, -- but overcomes at last (Revelation 12: 11)!
He does so through the Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-20). Like God, we
should recognize that we overcome satan when properly defended and
guarded. We may lose a battle, but we shall surely win the war
(Ephesians 6:12 and Revelation 12:11).</font></font></p>

NAPHTALI</b></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"> is the
wRESTling hind. He enters REST through overcoming the trials of life.
Self-denial and reckoning oneself dead, allows the restful beauty of
Christ to shine through. The self-denying mind of Christ on behalf of
others is seen in Philippians 4:8.</font></font></p>

JUDAH </b></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">means Praise!
>From him descends the Lion of the Tribe of Judah; Colossians sets
forth this same truth in the Pre-eminence of Christ! Just as Judah
was first among the tribes in order of the march (Numbers 2), so
Christ is pre-eminent in all of God’s creation. John, the spiritual
gospel, whose emblem is the eagle, sets forth this same pre-eminency
through the seven “I Ams.” Through Christ and Judah, the shout of
a king is in the midst of Israel and the Church (Numbers 23:21). Like
Wigglesworth, we should challenge one another, “Can you shout the
shout of joy and faith?”</font></font></p>

DAN </b></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">means Judge. Dan
finds his New Testament parallel in Thessalonians and the Second
Coming. We must through the Holy Spirit have a sanctified and holy
work done in our lives, so that as overcomers we might have part in
the first resurrection! All God’s promises are to overcomers! to
disciples! To those who deny themselves, take up their cross daily
and follow Christ. The words of the Lord Jesus to the seven churches
of Revelation form a composite picture of the conditions for the
overcoming life.</font></font></p>

LEVI</b></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"> means Joined.
Though Levi shared a curse of scattering with Simeon, yet in Numbers
27:7-13 we read that the zeal of Phinehas caused God to modify this
curse and turn it into a blessing. Through his scattering Levi became
a blessing through teaching the twelve tribes, and leading them in
true guidance and worship. Ironically, it was a member of Simeon’s
tribe that Phinehas slew! The wisdom of the priesthood has its
counterpart in the spirit of wisdom of James 3:17. Clyde Narramore
sets froth this passage as the guide for all counselors! “Competent
to Counsel” by Jay Adams parallels this.</font></font></p>

MANASSEH</b></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"> means
Forgetfulness. Ephraim was set before Manasseh just as the church
presently has pre-eminence over Israel. The greater spiritual
blessing came to the church, composed of Jew and Gentile; yet Israel,
like Manasseh, has not been FORGOTTEN. 1948 witnessed the return of
Israel to her homeland as a nation. June 1967 witnessed the occupancy
of Jerusalem by Israel: Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the
Gentiles or non-Jews until the end. Soon the time of Jacob’s
trouble will commence under a worldwide ruler called the Syrian. 1
Peter 4:7-11 reveals the changes that ought to take place in our
lives in the light of the end times, when consummation for both
Israel and the Church takes place. Romans 9-11 reveals this coming
union.</font></font></p>

REUBEN</b></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">, a man of
weakness and indecision, could have prevailed had he availed himself
of spiritual resources. Sin, disgrace and great loss came to him
because he did not lay a good foundation, could not curb his lust and
weakness. Fasting helps to overcome weakness and lust of the flesh. 2
Peter 1:6-8 reveals eight virtues, which if diligently built into our
lives, cause us to abound and be fruitful. Blindness and lack of
purging from old sins come upon us if we neglect them. Judah gained
the Kingship of Reuben – Levi gained the Priesthood of Reuben –
Joseph gained the double blessing of the firstborn due to Reuben.
What a threefold loss, all because lust was not curbed.</font></font></p>

SIMEON,</b></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"> cruel,
vindictive and unrestrained, suffered loss in Israel, and eventually
became swallowed up in Judah. We have modern counter-parts like
Simeon, who fiercely resisted his father’s rebuke, and justified
himself in a lawless act. He who is truly repentant and believes the
gospel, will show a different type of evidence of God’s working in
his life. 1 John reveals six evidences of a truly converted, born
again man. The new birth reveals itself in unmistakable changes,
which should be studied carefully. Those who mistake profession and
intellectual assent for true possession and transformation will
profit from such a study. By their fruits ye shall know them!</font></font></p>

ASHER </b></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">is the happy
man of true heart religion. The Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:5-15)
leads to the truly blessed life. Only a man of union with God through
the true pattern of prayer can evidence the Beatitudes, the true
fruit of the blessed man.</font></font></p>
