Building the "Resting" Church - UBM [David Eells]

I dreamed I was driving east (face toward the Son) toward Dallas on a large highway with very sparse traffic on it. (This is the highway of holiness going to Dallas, which means "meadow dwelling", according to Wikipedia. This is where shepherds feed their sheep.) It was dark but I could see a little light on the horizon in the east. (Near to the coming of the Lord in the Man-child on the morning of the seventh thousand year-day.) I was going to an eight-story hospital building that was under construction (the true Church of the called out ones is being built) at which my husband Eddie (meaning "wealthy friend", representing Jesus) had instructed me to meet him. The building was oval-shaped and not square. (The building was eternal without beginning or end because of its shape and its eight floors. (An "8" lying down is the sign for infinity or eternity and "8" is the number of Jesus. Since it's lying down, it could mean resting in Jesus. A hospital is a place for healing the sick, spiritually and physically, which the Church is supposed to be.)

I pulled into the parking garage and parked my old, gray (indicating mixture of good and evil, white and black), five-speed (grace received to get to this point) manual (not automatic, works by self), 1980 Toyota Corolla that had been my first car when I learned to drive. (Our first car represents our first ways in the Lord. To park it is a sign of coming into maturity through rest. {1Co.13:9} For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; {10} but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. {11} When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things. {12} For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known. )

I went inside the building with my son's blue backpack that had surgical instruments and food packed in it that my husband had asked me to bring to him. (Man's burdens and works that we bear until we reach the seventh floor of rest and give them over to Jesus. {Mat.11:28} Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.) I went into the ground floor lobby that they had recently put a highly polished wood floor in (the human nature is under our feet to serve the spiritual man). I waited at the only elevator (there is only one way to God) to go up to the seventh floor (entering into the rest) (The first six floors represent the first six days of the different levels of man's works we do until we rest on the seventh spiritual day). I had to wait a bit because it was the only elevator and I was the only one waiting to go up. (The Bride will be the first to fully enter into the seventh-day rest.)

When the door opened, Robin from UBM was the elevator attendant, but she was white and looked like me. (The white represents holiness.) (Robin is a representative of Unleavened Bread Ministries and assists people going to the higher floors, as in getting in contact with ministry leadership that helps people to understand how to enter into the Father's rest.)

She greeted me and started to tell me about how old the elevator was. She was an expert on the elevator. It was her assigned job in the building and she knew everything about it. She told me that, currently, the elevator only reached the seventh floor but that when the construction was complete it would go all the way up to the top which was the eighth floor. (The eighth floor is Jesus and Heaven. When the building representing the Church is finished, we will go all the way to the top eighth floor, the heavenly floor.)

When I got off of the elevator on the seventh floor, my husband Eddie passed by me with metal leg braces on that were supported by a blue, padded waistband that girded his waist and metal crutches that braced around his forearms. (This reminds me of the command in Deuteronomy to bind the phylacteries, which are Scripture verses, on the forehead and hand, because the phylacteries that are bound on the hand are laced on from the forearm.) (David had a similar revelation where he also had these leg braces on. They strengthened his walk and helped him to stand.) (God's power is made perfect in our weakness.) He looked at me as he passed by with a knowing look (seeing eye to eye) and a smile, as if we shared a common understanding of something. (A common understanding of faith in the same promises brings people to the seventh floor of rest.) (Amo.3:3) Shall two walk together, except they have agreed?

Suddenly, I realized that I left my backpack on the elevator or I thought I did, but it wasn't over my shoulder anymore. (We can't take our own provision or burdens with us to the seventh floor of the rest.) I became concerned (we will lose the rest if we think on our burdens) and turned around to push the button to go back down (falling away from the rest). As I was waiting for the elevator doors to open, I overheard an accountant from the hospital discussing a debt of $20 that they said I owed with another employee. (If we leave the rest of faith, we begin to bear the debt again. The first mention of 20 in the Bible is {Gen.6:3} And Jehovah said, My spirit shall not strive with man for ever, for that he also is flesh: yet shall his days be a hundred and twenty years.) They were saying that they had tried to call my cell phone to give me this report, but I wouldn't answer my phone because I knew it was not really my debt and that I wasn't required to pay it. (The accuser will always try to convince you that you still owe the debt that Christ already paid for you.) (If one leaves the rest, they will be tempted even more so.)

When the elevator doors finally opened, a horde of people out of nowhere rushed into the elevator, as if they were desperate to get out of the building. (They were getting in their flesh and leaving the rest.) I calmly walked in but there was barely enough room. When the doors shut, Robin warned us that the ride down was much scarier than the ride up because the elevator went down really fast, and it did (because this represents the falling away). But it slowed down midway for safety precautions (this could represent those who are neither hot nor cold -- the fence-sitters in the middle) (also, God makes a way for His people to change their mind and Return unto thy rest, O my soul {Psa.116:7}) and then again sped back up until it reached the ground floor.

As I got off the elevator, the morning sunshine was coming through the lobby windows (Jesus in the Man-child is manifested) and a surgeon from the hospital who was going up said to me, "Isn't it exciting that the building construction will be completed in a week?!" (After the seven years of the 70th week of the tribulation, the Church will be complete and I believe this week will start very soon.) I turned around and said, "Yeah". But the importance of what he had just announced didn't register with me. I was concerned about finding the backpack because my husband needed me to bring it to the hospital (to give that burden to him).

I hoped I would find the backpack out in my car in the parking garage, since it had not been left in the elevator. I ran out to the car and found it (the burden was in the car, representing immaturity) and brought it back into the lobby and pushed the elevator button again. When the doors opened my sons Noah and Elijah came out of the elevator and were passing me as I went in. They were eight-foot tall, grown men! (Their "8" size indicates they are grown up in Jesus.) They gave me the same knowing look of common understanding and smile that my husband had given me. (The faith that brings relief from our burdens and works.) They said, "Don't worry, mom. We have everything under control". (Jesus in the Man-child ministry beginning to reign [having given their burdens to God].) Then I woke up.

Why would we bear the burdens of the curse, if we believe what Jesus said? {Mar.11:23} Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it. {24} Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. {Mat.18:18} Verily I say unto you, what things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. {19} Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven.

When we pray and believe, we rest from all the curse. {Gal.3:13} Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: {14} that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Not entering the rest or keeping the spiritual Sabbath is because of unbelief. {Heb.3:11} As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest. {12} Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God: {13} but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called To-day; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin: {14} for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end:...

{18} And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient? {19} And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief. {4:1} Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it. {2} For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard. Unprofitable servants are cast forth into outer darkness.

{3} For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said, As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. {4} For he hath said somewhere of the seventh [day] on this wise, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works; {5} and in this [place] again, They shall not enter into my rest.

{6} Seeing therefore it remaineth that some should enter thereinto, and they to whom the good tidings were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience, {7} he again defineth a certain day, To-day, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as hath been said before), To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts.

{8} For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day. {9} There remaineth therefore a sabbath rest (Greek: Sabbatismos; meaning "a continual rest") for the people of God. {10} For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his. {11} Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no man fall after the same example of disobedience.
