This revelation was divided into two separate sections in the former Covenants & Commandments but has been joined together again. The first part of the revelation was received in response to the question: "Wilt thou speak, O Lord, on wine?" New Covenant Christians are not to drink alcoholic beverages. The wine of God's Spirit. The second part of the revelation is about the fall of man. A dispute had arisen in the Church as to whether those who lived before the Crucifixion were truly "saved" or not, and it had been claimed that great prophets like the prophet Enoch and King Melchizedek of Salem, who were taken from the earth without tasting death, were completely free of sin and therefore not bound by the laws established by God, and in particular, the law requiring that a women be subject to her husband. Though the faithful in the past were justified by their godly walk, they were not without sin, for the means offorgiveness -- the blood of Jesus Christ -- had not then been provided. This event had been eagerly anticipated by all of God's prophets from the beginning. Enoch and the others were, like everyone else, subject to the same laws, and, whilst declared forensically righteous by God on account of their faith and obedience, were not finally washed in the blood of the Lamb until the atonement had taken place in the meridian of time [Rosenborg, Oslo, Norway].

1. Behold, wine is a mocker, and he that loveth wine shall not be made rich in the things of the Spirit.

2. Did I not command My servant John (the Baptist), the son of Zechariah, that he should not drink, neither wine nor strong drink, that he might be great in the sight of the Lord and filled with the Holy Spirit?

3. Yea, from the day of his mother's womb did My servant John not drink wine, and did I not say that there was no prophet greater than John the Baptist?

4. Thou shalt drink only a little wine for they stomach's sake, as a medicine, as I have commanded you, but thou shalt not drink wine to make merry, nor to hide from thy sorrows, nor for carnal lust.

5. For inasmuch as any man drinketh wine, or strong drink, among you, behold, it is not good, neither meet {acceptable} in the sight of your Father.

6. When ye assemble together to partake of the wine of the Lord's supper, this should be pure wine of the grape ofthe vine, which meaneth new unfermented wine, preferably of your own make.

7. And, behold, ye have supposed that this was fermented wine, which thing ye have supposed wrongly, for fermented wine is the poison of dragons.

8. Be ye emulators of My Word, and not of men, saith the Lord, for did I not rebuke My servant Jeremiah when he purposed to make the Rechabites drink wine in the House of the Lord? (Jer. 35:1-16)

9. And did I not bless My servant Daniel when he purposed not to drink the wine of the King of Babylon? (Dan.1)

10. Behold, I shall give you wine, saith the Lord, but it shall be the wine of My Holy Spirit, even as I have spoken through the mouth of My servant Joel:

11. "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountains shall drop new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth out of the House of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim."

12. Ye shall live by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of the Lord. Have I not spoken plainly unto you? Behold, the Gentiles may drink wine in moderation, but you I have called to better things.

13. By the grape of the vine men fell, yea, by obeying the voice of Satan;

14. And by the grape of the vine shall man be saved, by repenting of his sins and cleaving with his whole might, mind and strength unto Christ his Saviour.

15. And, behold, if he doeth this thing, he shall be justified. Amen.

16. It hath been supposed by some men that because Enoch and his people were lifted up, and others also, on account of their great righteousness, that these people were redeemed from the Fall and were without sin.

17. But this is not so, My son, for no atonement had been made for them, and thus there was no remission of sins, until Messiah came and paid the penalty at Calvary.

18. And thus, though translated, Enoch and his people were still under the bondage of sin, for though they had met all the demands of the preparatory Firstborn Gospel, nevertheless the demands of the Law of Justice laid hold upon them, for they were still in bondage to sin. And the Lord raised them up.

19. Art thou redeemed from the Fall, My son, and art thou without sin? Behold, I say unto thee: Nay.

20. Canst thou name one man or woman who is without sin and redeemed from the Fall? Nay.

21. Therefore, all are under the law of the Fall, from the highest to the lowest, from the celestial {heavenly} to the earthly.

22. And behold, it is written that woman shall be subject to man on account of the Fall, and he shall rule over her, and her desires shall be towards him, yea, and she shall bring forth children in pain.

23. And man, because he is subject to the Fall also, shall obtain bread by the labour of his own hands, for the earth willnot yield unto him her fruits as she did in the days before the Fall.

24. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, and to all who have desires in the knowledge of God, that until redemption cometh unto Zion, and the children thereof, that the woman shall be subject to the man, and he shall rule over her in righteousness, as Christ ruleth over the Church. Amen
