Interesting. I am glad you brought these verses up, although they lead to more questions than answers. Why does the word say: Behold, he is in the desert;
go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers;
believe it not.
Why desert? Jesus often departed into the desert. John came from that direction.
Luke 1:76-80
[76] And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; [77] To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, [78] Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, [79] To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. [80] And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
Mark 6:35-37
[35] And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed: [36] Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat. [37] He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
Why secret chamber? Are we not told to go into secret and close the door to pray. Would secret chamber not imply saying: the Spirit is within me? In my heart.
Why are those the two chosen by the Holy Spirit in regard to false Christ rising? Instead we are told: 27 For
as the lightning cometh out of the east, and
shineth even unto the west;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
now I am just more confused...
