Mantles released through the Seven Spirits of God
1 Kings 19:19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth; and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantel upon him.
This is one of the most fascinating parts of Scripture for a person who enjoys the study of Covenant with God. It is during a time where the Lord appeared to "Elijah at Horeb" after a time of seeking the Lord. Elijah had a complaint that He wanted to tell the Lord. This complaint was that "The children of Israel forsook the Covenant God made with His people." [1 Kings 19:10] Not only did they forsake Covenant with God but they threw down the LORDS altar, and killed the prophets with their swords. At this time we read the words of Elijah to the Lord, "I am the only one left of the prophets" yet the Lord told him, "I have seven thousand more." [1 Kings 19:18]
Our first question is "What is a mantle?" In 1 Kings 19:13 we read that "Elijah wrapped his face in his mantle." Did you notice here that a mantle is 'a large vine; a wide dress] garment, and glory.
It is with this thought in mind of a mantle representing a 'large vine' that Elijah wrapped his face in. Many times the word face represents the whole body inwardly, and outwardly. I remember reading this about five years ago [from the time I write this post] in the study of the Ark of the Covenant where we see: the tablets, the vine of Aaron's Rod, and the Golden Pot of Manna representing a Mantle. There, I received revelation that it is what you carry and develop from within is what appears outwardly. For this reason we learn that the word Mantle, represents power and excellence of Spirit. In this case, since the Vine is represented as a Tree: many fruits that appear I am reminded of the words of the LORD to Joshua, "You shall be like a Tree" [revealing the Mantle.] So, a mantle is constructed as a Vine, and expands continually in power and glory.
It is through the simple inward acknowledgement of the Father's Love flowing through the Sacrifices of Covenant that Jesus became into you [from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet continually] made alive by the Holy Spirit. All day long you are Harvesting the Fruits of Father's Love through the Spirit of Christ [the Seven Sacrifices of Covenant] into you by the power of the Holy Spirit.
On the inside of picture purposefully understand that you are already hidden inside of God: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.
In the inner circle we see initials, such as: L, J, P,P, etc. These initials represent the revelations of the Harvest of the Father's Love as found in Galatians 5, also known as the Fruits of the Spirit of Love. It is from the Fruit of the Vine, or Wine, that Blood Covenant is revealed. On the outer circle we see the Covenant Sacrifices that Jesus became as represented in His death and resurrection revealing the Spirit of Christ. Without these Covenant Sacrifices Jesus would not be the Christ: the Anointed One in His Testimonies and Oath to Covenant.
How is the Mantle Released:Part 1?
Just as Moses hid in the cleft of the rock and the LORD passed by, so it was with Elijah as he was instructed to go into the cave [the cleft of the Rock: inside the God-Head: God the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit.] The LORD taught Elijah something profound: He would not be found in the earthquake; the wind; or the fire that came but "He would hear the LORD'S voice--inwardly, or a still small voice." [1 Kings 19:11-12] Yet, even in the still inward voice this does not qualify how the Mantle is released. Far too often Modern Prophetic people want to prophesy, decree, and declare at this moment of time by saying, "I hear the Lord say, or--thus sayeth the Lord." Silence is where the inward audible voice of the LORD is discovered and awakens God's prophetic people.
How is the Mantle Released: Part 2?
Here, Elisha began to plow twelve yoke of oxen, which reveals the revelation of power; authority and the ability to release a Mantle from Elijah. As you look at the picture of the Spirit of the Seven Covenant Sacrifices of Jesus we see there an Ox. The Ox is prophetic of what Jesus became, which made Him the Christ 'through the stages of the carrying of the cross." It was during this time that Elisha communed with the Lord "Inwardly flowing in the Harvest of the Father's Love through the twelve-stages of the cross of Christ wrapping the children of Israel [inwardly] into the Vine which was learned as part of the Priesthood. "
We conclude then that a Mantle is inward commune of the Harvest of the Father's Love [Vine that expands] inwardly, through the Spirit of Christ Jesus revealed [twelve Oxen] in a time when the Prophet Elijah placed the Mantle upon Elisha. Here, Elisha took his yoke of the oxen, and slaughtered them and gave it to the people and followed Elijah to become his servant. This is a prophetic enactment of the children of Israel being 'sown' the revelation of Restored Covenant with God as a Nation. Hallelujah!
