Benches

9/25/2020

The first Benches that we saw were Benches of 3, 7 & 12.

The Pattern for a Bench of 3 is The Godhead. 

  • The Spirit
  • The Son
  • The Father

The Pattern for a Bench of 7 is The 7 Spirits of God.

  • The Spirit of The LORD
  • The Spirit of Wisdom
  • The Spirit of Understanding
  • The Spirit of Counsel
  • The Spirit of Might
  • The Spirit of Knowledge
  • The Spirit of The Fear of The LORD

The Pattern for The Bench of 12 is 3-fold.

  • The 12 Sons of Jacob
  • The 12 Apostles
  • The 12 Foundations of New Jerusalem

OUB has had a Bench of 3, 7 & 12 at various times in our Journey as an Ecclesia.

  • This was originally based on the Teaching of Heavenly Realms fathers.
  • The only Bench that I still see as valid for a House is The Bench of 12.

 

Here is what I currently see about Benches.

Ya Sod is a Bench of 3.

  • It is the highest Heavenly Court / Counsel.
  • It is made up of the 3 members of The Godhead.
  • I see that after an extensive Journey each of us comes to sit on these 3 seats.
  • Beginning with The Spirit Seat.
  • Then The Son Seat.
  • Then The Father Seat.

Benches of 7

There are many Benches of 7.

  • The 7 Spirits of God
  • Wisdom’s 7 Handmaidens

Every Bench of 7 is a Journey of Growth for each of us.

  • Beginning with the 1st.
  • Ending with the 7th.
  • We mature with respect to The Bench once we have been fully trained by all 7.
  • One after another.

Benches of 12

This is the only Bench that I see relating directly to a House.

  • Beginning with a Bench of 12 Apostles.
  • Then a Bench of 12 Sons.
  • Then a Bench of 12 Fathers.

It is important that at no time does The Bench of 12 function as a Church Board.

  • A Church Board is a function of The Church Age.
  • It has no place in any higher Ages.
  • A Church Board supervises the work of a Church Age Pastor / Pastors.

When a Church Board function remains in a higher Age it is a major problem.

  • Those not yet functioning in that Age supervise those who are functioning in it.
  • This never works out well.
  • Benches are meant to be made up of people who are doing the work.

Benches of 12 function in an Age.

  • Benches of 12 Apostles function in The Kingdom Age.
  • Benches of 12 Sons function in The Age of Melchizedek.
  • Do Benches of 12 Fathers function in The Age of Peace?
