Isaiah 61 calls the kings and priests made after the Order of Melchizedek by Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ) Himself “oaks of righteousness,” which is the planting of YHVH so that He may be glorified: “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, Because the Lord anointed me To bring good news to the humble; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim release to captives And freedom to prisoners; 2 To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, 3 To grant those who mourn in Zion, Giving them a garland instead of ashes, The oil of gladness instead of mourning, The cloak of praise instead of a disheartened spirit. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified” (Isaiah 61:1-3 NASB).
While listening to Chuck Missler recently, I received a key connection to His royal priesthood’s transformed, resurrected body. Chuck Missler pointed out the Greek word oiketerion, which refers to the body as a dwelling place for the spirit. Amazingly, oiketerion appears to be both the heavenly body that Fallen Angels abandoned as well as what humanity aspires to be clothed with. It is only used twice in Scripture:
[1] “And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation [oiketerion], he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day”(Jude 6 KJV)
[2] “For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house [oiketerion] which is from heaven: 3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life” (2 Corinthians 5:1-4 KJV).
The way Mr. Missler pronounced oikererion – oak-ka-tear-ion – made me think of the oaks of righteousness that displays God’s splendor, so that He is glorified and His Name is made great. In that same chapter, we are told that YHVH clothes/covers His oaks of righteousness with robes of righteousness fit for the kings of the King of kings. These kings of righteousness are are part of the Bride of Christ who are intimately one with Him and His ways: “I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels” (Isaiah 61:10 KJV).
With this robe of righteousness that covers His Bridal Ones, the Holy Spirit spoke to my spirit about His divine process of our mortality putting on immortality “For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality” (1 Corinthians 15:53 KJV).
This is mysterious and glorious key for the Messiah’s Transformed Ones. Enoch Walkers will rise and shine when our Heavenly Father gives the signal. But for now, we have a part to play in our own preparation for being clothed from on high: “That you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness” (Ephesians 4:22-24 NKJV).
May you and your be called oaks of righteousness, and may you display His splendor!
Give em heaven!!!
