The modern view is sequentially  laid out on a timeline to be fulfilled on certain days by certain events that would be experienced with the Adamic nature and looking for another day for the Christ to finish His work of salvation but lets hold that up to all of scripture.

Jesus the man said a lot of things that do not fit the time dispense theory commonly used like when the Jewish leaders were claiming to be from Abraham. Jesus wraps up His discourse with them by saying “Abraham rejoiced to see My day and he saw it and was glad”. What day is that? The “day of the Lord”. This to many is an outlandish statement but bear with me and you will see more scriptures open up to you. The purpose is to show a sequence but not one bound by emc=square big bang time and matter.

The day of Pentecost came and the Holy Spirit was given for this could not happen until Christ returned to the father and many things He spake to the disciples that they remembered after Christ was glorified. They were instructed to keep silent on some things until after He was glorified. And the scriptures say “Now the son of man is Glorified and God is Glorified in Him. As God is Glorified in Him, He will Glorify the son immediately”. You see all power from heaven and earth were invested in Christ on earth.

The Son must be Glorified in all power to move forward in the Spirit. The hour is coming and now is (depending where you are in the sequence) when you will not on this mountain nor in (earthly) Jerusalem worship the Father. For the Father is Spirit and truth and is seeking such to worship Him. Maybe you. And if the Son is not in all power and authority then there is yet another work of the Jesus man then salvation is later but Glory is the trophy of the finish.

We need to ask “who is our Jesus”? Mary wanted to worship Christ when He rose from the dead at the time the tomb was empty and He said “do not cling to me for I have not ascended to the Father”. I would like to point out here that many do not distinguish between the resurrection from the dead and the ascension into heaven. For this reason the ascension is later but scripture says that He made us sit down in the heavenly’s.

A spiritual truth is that you can only be as developed as your teacher and if your teacher is a man, then you shall be a good man but if you are not beholding the fully Glorified Christ in the mirror you are not receiving the full gift. Even as the disciples said when they saw Christ at the transfiguration. Why do the scribes say Elijah must come first? Well he does come Elijah has already come if you are able to receive it. Well what does that mean? If we are not able we do not receive it? Yes! Precisely! If you are not able to receive things by faith you can’t have it! Bingo!

This is the whole point of faith and how to receive the eternal, timeless gift that is in Christ. All must enter through faith. If you see it, it is not faith for faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. You get that? Proof of the invisible. You see the Jewish people of that day were looking for a physical, visible kingdom with the God man sitting on a throne and this was their condemnation. “Oh Jerusalem if you would have only known this, your hour of visitation, but now these things are coming upon you!” What a sad reality. They missed it because they would not receive it by faith. What about us?

The book of Hebrews describes this timeless gift we are talking about and the Lord says “so I swore in my wrath they shall not enter my rest, although the works were finished from the foundation of the world”. So here we are in modern day Christianity speaking of another day like many have done throughout time. The scripture goes on to say “Since there remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because they lacked faith. For the Gospel message was preached to us as well as them but the word they heard did not profit them not being mixed with faith. But we who have believed do enter that rest.”

Now here is the thing. The works were done the 6th day. All of the trees that were yet to grow were created, all the seed of every man was already in Adam, every detail was complete the 6th day and just needed to be played out. Even as scripture says that they will look upon the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. This is the place we are invited to now.

This is the gospel message. (Hebrews 4.2) The timeless gift. Enter His realm, His Rest.
