    Thank you for this excellent study, the only problem is I was unable to download Chapter 11 because of a bad gateway. Is there any way of getting hold of Chapter 11.

    Does Harry Gaylord have a ministry, or an address, I’d like to support his work.

    Yours faithfully

  2. Elizabeth,

    I had an error in my link to Chapter 11 that I corrected, so it should work fine now for downloading. This website is my only ministry, so I don’t have a contact address and I don’t accept funds from anyone, but thanks for the offer.

  3. Wonderful material about the stones and names of the tribes. I am eager for more. I pray monthly for the Hebrew people and Jerusalem as well as the unsaved Muslims. I know this “sounds” weird but I have a group of people of prayer who dedicate every month to the Lord and stand in intercession for these people groups at the New Moon. There is a teaching on my website. I too have been saved for 31 years and am a student of the bible. God has revealed many things to me as well. However, I love the way you teach so carefully and scripturally. Great work. If you had a book, I would buy it. Not a lot of information on this subject that can be trusted. blessings Kathy Black

  4. Kathy,

    Thanks for your comment. It had crossed my mind as I was writing about the breastplate to find a publisher and sell it on the market, but then I decided it would be best to share it for free with everyone since not every Christian would have the money to buy it. The scripture came to my mind “Freely ye have received, freely give.” This knowledge came from God and I didn’t feel right charging for it since someone may need it who doesn’t have the money to pay for it.

    You mistake “GOD” for the creator. The one who created this world is not of whom the prophets spoke. The gospel of truth is joy to those who have received from the Father of truth the gift of knowing him by the power of the Logos, who has come from the Pleroma and who is in the thought and the mind of the Father. I say “Father” you say “God”. As for the prophet, he it is who is called “the Savior,” since that is the name of the work which he must do for the redemption of those who have not known the Father. For the name of the gospel is the manifestation of hope, since that is the discovery of those who seek him, because the All sought him from whom it had come forth. You see, the All had been inside of him, that illimitable, inconceivable one, who is better than every thought.
    For this reason, do not take error too seriously. That is the gospel of him whom they seek, which he has revealed to the perfect through the mercies of the Father as the hidden mystery. Maddness knew the truth is not readily accepted.
    Your struggles are mine as well, We are to be enlightened then given a path. And that path is the truth which we are taught.
    You may have been led into the fog, but that does not mean you cannot see.

  7. Gnostic joe,

    Your comment makes little (if any) sense and goes against the simplicity that is in the Lord Jesus Christ and his gospel. I know that you must think that your gnosticism, or hidden knowledge, has enlightened you but it has done the exact opposite. You see, God made his word so easy to understand that even a person with a learning disability or mental defect can understand it if they are humble.

    God is the Creator of the heavens and the Earth and all creatures in them. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” [Genesis 1:1] Jesus Christ is also the Creator of the heavens and the Earth since he “is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist (exist).” [Colossians 1:15-17]

    Additionally, the Holy Spirit (the spirit of God) is also the Creator as Job himself acknowledges in Job 33:4, “The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.” Genesis 1:2 lets us know he participated in creation when “the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”

    Jesus said “I and my Father are one.” [John 10:30] In other words, Jesus said they were the same, or equal. Therefore, John the apostle brings us to the conclusion of this matter–”For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one (the same).” [1 John 5:7]

    God is the Father and is the Creator. Jesus is God the Father physically appearing in the flesh and is the Creator because he that has seen Jesus has seen the Father [John 14:9]. The Holy Spirit is also God and is the Creator. God, the Father, the Creator has displayed himself in three forms but he is one God. Now I don’t understand everything about how this is, but I accept it since no one has ever caught God lying.

    Whether you call him God, Elohim, Jehovah, Yahweh, Jesus Christ, Holy Ghost, Holy Spirit, Creator, Father, or Almighty, he’s one and the same as all of these and accepts being addressed as all of them. So please save your confusing, vain words for someone else.

    I have read a couple of your responses to messages about OES and the one I am commenting to now. In exploring the meanings behind the OES and its ritual I struggle to accept your point of view due to the overt meanness of your responses. Please explain?

    • Could you be more specific? What parts of my comments do you consider mean? Then I can explain if you’re interested.

  9. Harry, I just read through this teaching and it is absolutely inspiring and wonderful. Thanks so much! I hope to use it as a basis for an adult ed Bible study…If you ever put this on Kindle, let me know.

    • Glad you were blessed by it Susan. Never considered putting it on Kindle, but now that you mentioned it I’ll look into it.

    I have just downloaded your teaching but have not studied it yet, however, it has certainly got my attention. Your layout is great and easy to comprehend. We have on many occasions paid attention to the Breastplate with reference to prayer. I so look forward to this time I’ll be spending on it and sharing with our team. God bless you.
