Part Two; The ungrateful woman at the market

 To all the invisible Bloggers out there who follow this Blog, like Paul Harvey use to say, "Here's the rest of the Story" for when I went back to the Ramsey One Unit after my first furlough and my wife dropped me off at the first Check Station. I do remember that I went and immediately began to search in the Bible to see if I could find Mr. David Wilkerson's message, but I had to give up because the stories were way over my comprehension level. It wasn't until the early 2000 that I began to piece together this great story after much hard reading and research, and asking "God" for help in understanding. I went to the Pastors and Minister to help me decipher this message by Mr. Wilkerson and they couldn't help me either. And as I dreamed my strange dreams about the goddess; like the one about the girl dressed in American money paper bills as a mini-skirt, things started to fall into place. Remember the old rich man that she was playing for a fool? Well, as I read the Bible I had to piece part of a story from one Old Testament Book called The Prophet Hosea and his prostitute wife named Gomer, and other stories from The Prophet Isaiah, and the best piece from the Prophet Ezekiel. But first let me say that I was shocked by the language used by these Prophets, Ezekiel especially. And after deep research I learned that what I was reading about in these stories that I was investigating, had been sanitized immensely because of the graphic sexually explicit language originally used. It was the Royals and Nobility like King James the First of England in 1611 that cleaned up that language in those Bible stories because they claimed that the Noble Men didn't want the Elite Noble Women to read such sexually graphic language. Well, I had done enough historical research about such Nobles that I knew that part was a lie. Therefore, Mr. Wilkerson was being careful not to use that original language in the text because it would not only be offensive to women now but to The Nation of Israel and especially ancient Jerusalem. Nevertheless, the story about the Ungrateful Virgin girl is really about how one day, "God" is walking on a path through an open field in the countryside in the ancient Middle- East on a cool day. And as "He" walks out there 'He" heard a baby crying so "He" goes to see what is wrong. And there lying on the grass is an abandoned baby girl who has been discarded out there by her parents who most likely didn't prefer girl daughters to boy sons, or whatever other reason. Nevertheless, she is left out there to die. The baby is still in her blood and other impurities from the mother's womb and still has the umbilical cord attached to her navel. So "God" in the form of a man picks the baby up and cuts off the umbilical cord and washes her body with clean water and rubs her body with salt, and wraps her up in a warm blanket. And then afterwards the man takes her to his house to raise her up himself. And as it turns out in this story from Ezekiel's vantage point, the man who rescues her is filthy filthy rich. Therefore, this baby girl is spoiled with the finest things in the World and even as she matures into her teenage years she receives only the best and most expensive clothing and jewelry. And as she continues to mature physically the man decides to marry her himself by making a Covenant of Marriage with her. Keep in mind that all the language is symbolic and there is no sexual union between "God" and the virgin young girl, only The Great Promise to her through a Covenant that she belongs to him and him alone. So now they are legally married and the man is completely in love with her. But one day he has to go off on a business venture and leaves his young bride at home while he is gone. So as this young girl is left alone she is enticed by other neighboring soothers and she begins to flirt with them and even learns to call on them when she needs them for help. The Cat is away she thinks to herself and so she decides loosely to play with her younger soothers all around her and enjoy the new found freedom. The royal men come to her house and have sex with her and she pays them for their services from her husband's  money and treasures before they leave. So when the rich man comes back home he finds out about her adulterous affairs that she had with his arch enemies and he hands her a bill for divorce. She reacts angrily and says that she didn't need the old man because she was rich now and had many children. So she leaves and comes to find out that now she is older and not as good looking as before and her lovers all despised her. From this point one has to connect the story of Ezekiel to Hosea's wife Gomer at the marketplace. At the marketplace Gomer is now at a slave market and is being sold for less the price as compared to when girls are very young female slaves. Now with the wear and tear of aging and having babies for Hosea she was not that marketable and was now looking for anyone to buy her at less than half price but no one was buying. Therefore, Hosea; a type of "God Himself" finds his former wife standing in humiliation there on the market stand trying to find a buyer when Hosea her former husband enters the picture and makes the purchase himself. Here the story ends and the reader can see the great redemption story being played out in favor of an ungrateful woman who betrayed her man not once, but many times. Yet, The Love that the rich man; her husband, had for his wife was greater than the wrongs committed against him and he was willing to forgive her. But not for her sake, but for "His" name sake. Because after all "He" did make a Promise. Now the short analysis or commentary about this message. It is said by the experts of the Bible that the Baby girl represented Israel during the great famine that drove Jacob and his family into Egypt and when they were in Egypt as slaves. They say that if it hadn't been for Joseph; a type of "God," the son of Jacob who had been promoted only second in command to the Pharaoh himself, that they would have perished as an infant Nation. And I believe that the young teenage virgin represents Israel in her Royal splendor as a Nation under King David and King Solomon. From there Israel begins to come undone until they are defeated first at Northern Israel by the Assyrians in 720 B.C. and at South Israel in Judah c. 586 B.C. by the Babylonians who sack them. Israel turned against their "God" who personally chose them to be the Priesthood to the World and as "God" said, they played the Harlot and decided to serve idols instead. If you bother to read this story in Ezekiel, it is still graphic. But as one can see things are moving prophetically speaking in favor of restoring Israel back to "God" again. Some of that movement is being manufactured by powerful people in the world in order to expedite the completion of the bible prophesies in the way that they want them to happen, nonetheless, that is a bad mistake on their part. I'll try to comment on those people and that movement of theirs later. Remember that although earthly Israel is a Nation again since 1948, she is older now and not a virgin anymore. Well a day is coming when she will shine brighter than ten thousand suns rising at the same time, and she will be restored to her former beauty and that will be a sight to see. Even her sisters Sodom and Samaria will be restored in the Millennium. Some experts say that Sodom is speaking symbolically of Egypt. And in the Millennium Assyria will be restored also. Moreover, since Hosea and Gomer had children, Jezreel, Lo-ruhamah, and Lo-ammi, these names speak symbolically to "God's" condemnation and restoration of Samaria and Jerusalem. And because Egypt and Samaria had practiced abominable and detestable sins like Jerusalem later did commit, they were bunched together as sisters. But all this story is about The Great Redemption story that will be finalized at the end of time here on earth. However, in the meantime, there are extremely bad times coming for all of us and especially Israel. Israel has been a bad girl for a long time. And she and everything else outside of The Third Heaven will be cleansed through Fire. And "God" has reasons for allowing that to be so. And for now however, the beauty of this story is that we still are granted Free Will Agency and the proverbial ball is now in our hands. It's about Free Will and "God's" Will. And as I close..., I have to  say what Howard Wilkin said about digging for truth. He said, 'Remember, learning is not an abstract intellectual game. If you want to learn, you have to jump in, demand truth, and wrestle with the ideas until you are clear on what they mean. You can't blindly accept the truth as it is taught.'  Thus and therefore, I have done that much so far with my Bible studies and History studies as well. And I hate to plagiarize anyone else's material. That is outright lying and laziness and cheating. Do you see that Mr. Wilkerson went in a direction with this story and played it safe. I know that he took artistic liberties with his personal expressions about the virgin girl's wedding dress, nonetheless, it does appear symbolically that Israel did do just that with their end of their marriage Covenant with "God." Like I did with my wife. What I did to her I did to "God" too. There is still much to tell about what took place here with this Marriage and the ramifications for how to resolve the Divorce issue. However, the Death and Resurrection of "Jesus Christ" resolved that issue to satisfy The Law of Moses concerning divorce based on adultery etc.. As for my telling of this story I just told it like I learned it by my own studies about this message. And again, Dreams do reveal the spiritual aspects about our lives. As I relate more stories one will see the Power of dreams and the effects it leaves on our minds. And last, I did get to tell my wife this story a few years before she died. I don't recommend relating this story in Ezekiel in front of children. But just google "God" finds an abandoned baby girl, and you have to read the commentaries on this subject in order to understand it as much as its possible. This story is Compressed History for sure. So let us sleep on that and I am gonna think about my Baby, my deceased wife. And then after that I am gonna continue trying to find one more good woman to lay down on a bed with before I die. And yes..., we will be married. Thanks again.                                                  Respectfully,                                                                                  Ruben N.
