Scriptures Rules of Interpretation.

Many people go to scripture to find answers for many things. Scripture speaks to us on many levels. Some to practice, some to ponder, some for growth in ourselves and enrich our relationship with the Father, others for family or entertainment. But if we overlook the main purpose of God’s scripture, it may be one of many teachings you go to, but there is a level in scripture not found by many. Do you understand what it means that “The Kingdom of God is at hand? Or was that a passing phase? Or maybe it’s later. This is a critical question because you will be judged on how you respond to the call to “The Kingdom of God at hand”

The person of Jesus Christ made His debut appearance healing all manner of diseases, raising the dead and casting out demons. Many marvelled and wanted to see more. “How spectacular”!

But this is NOT why the Son of God appeared. He did NOT come to perform and be cheered on like a form of entertainment, but He came to search out and collect, to seek and save the lost. He did this for our return home to God the Father thru Him and He has left us sojourner a map for our return. We call it “The Gospel” for in it are the instructions and tools for you to return to from where we fell collectively through Adam and Eve. And our return is to a vital relationship with God as Father, each one in their own birth order through Adam’s replacement known as “The Christ” of those who are born again. This is the reason scripture calls Jesus “the last Adam” for this cause.

As Paul pleaded for you to; be ye reconciled to the Father. For He made Christ who committed no sin, to become the sin we committed and our just reward of death, to enable us to become the righteousness, (meaning right way of doing things) of God in Him”. Which includes our permission to approach the Father. Our approaching the Father is the proof of our ascention and the primary purpose of the gospel, and not another encore presentation by Gods Son who already made all this possible thru the cross.

His purpose on earth was NOT to entertain with miracles. As a matter of fact miracles are for the dead in faith. Looking for miracles and proofs does not please our invisible Father. Miracles are resuscitation devises for those who are dead in the faith and have no real connection to the invisible living God, other than to ponder His existence. He is the One who is ever ready to save and help you transcend your lower carnal nature that keeps you fixed on your needs and perceived wants driven by a vast variety of distractions that appeal to your carnal senses and appetites.

This should give you a clue to one of the first things you should master, because that’s where the gospel takes you. Into a mastery. Not like with the arts sciences or a doctorate, but learning from the Heavenly Father to do what He teaches and does. This is our mastery, that “when we see Him as He is? We will be like Him. These are our credentials because for some of us that has already happened.

That’s why the invitation goes out that “The Kingdom of God is at hand” even now! Meaning it is attainable and enables us to be seated at the right hand of the Father as Ephesians 2 describes, and graspable even now. But you need to know what the Kingdom is, and what the gospel really offers. A circus show of miracles is NOT what God is about. And a parade like freak show from Heaven should not be your focus either. Christ has already come and done His marvelous work, whose grand finally was the time frame of the Cross, the resurrection and the ascention. From where Christ calls us to be reconciled to the Father by following Him there. This is us transcending. When scripture says that “,He comes with the clouds and every eye will see Him”. There is no indication that He comes any closer.

It’s like this, since all the earth and all that’s in it will be burned, why is it necessary for Christ to come back and renew something He has already put an expiration date on. Don’t you know that we are in a evacuation process? That is what the gospel supplies because  “flesh and blood does not inherit the Kingdom of God because Gods Kingdom does not associate with such? “For God is Spirit and God is truth and seeketh such”?

We are to transition into a form like Him. This is what it means to “put Christ on”. He doesn’t want to become a human again. That’s an unnecessary redundancy. Everything He’s already done is to try to elevate you to Himself, and the resurrection through baptism is a first step. Now you have the ascention, which is largely overlooked in our day. Miracles can not help you with any of this because all of Gods giftings happen by faith. Meaning that if you are waiting for another visible work of God or another Christ to appear, you are still grounded from flight with no ascension to the Father. That is a faithless place to be, but do not be insulted by this observation because you still have the opportunity.

Hebrews 11 teaches that “Faith is the (invisible) substance of things hoped for, the evidence that there are things unseen” (as are ALL of Gods things). Meaning without faith it is impossible to please God because “one must first believe that He is, and that He diligently rewards (with invisible things) to those who seek Him”. Meaning as He is and from where He is from. This one’s works are valid, primarily because it is NOT a work of the flesh but the work by the spirit. And why do we say that? Because it’s not of your person, and it’s not with tools that associate with anything physical. Do you believe that He is? And that He rewards this kind of diligence in seeking Him? Then why would you suppose He should do another humanitarian effort on earth as though sending His Son was insufficient?

Think about it like this, if someone’s heart stops, you can bounce on their chest or give them an electrical shock to give them a jump start. That is what a miracle does. That is ALL that it does. Because if the heart stops again soon after the jumpstart, at some point the doctor gives up on plugging that person back into the power source over and over to resuscitate them and let’s them go. That’s why Christ told the onlookers, “lest I show you miracles will you not believe?” Meaning He was loosing His Patience because all they wanted was a geek show.

For us who know Him, we don’t want the miracles. Why? Because we have Him because “we are complete in Him” who completes Himself in us. And because all of His things are invisible, the only way to show you what we have is to describe it. That’s what the gospel does and all it does. The rest is up to you.

That is the main purpose for scripture. To write things on your hearts. As Jeremiah said of the days that were coming with the new and final covenant that “after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and these shall be My people.” This is completely done outside of human perception, other than a change in the mind and heart, the invisible part that affects behavior. This is to be born again.

Scripture says of the Christ, Christ being His first task as a human because Christ is a title for a job that He needed to be do, but does not accurately depict His totality of purpose. And when He is done and for some He already is, the saving may continue but He surely is not on the cross and He’s obviously still not dying.  Christ means “the one who saves”, and that’s just a task He did for us through His substitutional death to jump start us to lay hold of eternal life, but He is not still dying on the cross. After you have been brought this far, He is no longer a Christ for you but a brother. And because of this we share the Father too.

He is not limited to the act of saving or by the title Savior, but the title “Savior was associated with something He did once for all time, and not who He is because He was around way before a saving was needed. Even as the Godhead conferred in Isaiah of Christ who volunteered saying “who shall go and who shall We send from among Us, and the Son said “here I am, send Me”. So the Godhead did and He was sufficient for the cause. He became a man for that task, then promptly went back to where and who He already was before creation, being “the same yesterday today and forever” (Hebrews 13.8). That is why He was born a king. He didn’t have to become something, He knew who He was, He was incognito. For had the powers that be had known, they would not have slain the God of Glory.

Just because man was made in a likeness of Gods image. Man may have had similarities , but man is a far cry away from His God given potential, and the need for one among the Godhead to put on a human form because man fell, so a man had to reverse that trend because the repair was in the thinking of humans, in the spirit of their minds , and the reason the Son of God had to put on a body such as we have, to replace Adam and give us a do over as though we hadn’t fallen with the first carnal father.

So the miracles are designed to awaken us from inside. For us to turn inside to the gift within and see that everything you really need is within you (Luke 17.22). That is where a miracle can jump start someone’s faith in the invisible, or disqualify such a one, to let them go about themselves and hopefully have another scheduled time for another time of visitation,,, if Grace allow.

Even as Peter said for some that “they may glorify God in the day of visitation” because His visitations are many throughout time, but of a certain number for each person, so don’t think you have unlimited opportunities, because “today is the day”  of this kind of saving, tomorrow may not be. And of the Jews “who knew not their day of visitation”? Or that their timeframe to turn and repent was over? For them their time in grace was over, expired and that whole culture was recalled as having failed. So don’t expect you can linger too long to respond to the full Gospel message of Gods Holy Son, lest the same thing happen to you. And however miracles are important for some, they are distractions for those who are already saved “while we look not to the things that are seen but the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are temporary but the things that are unseen are eternal? Meaning that once you get them, you keep them.

Miracles are NOT for the faithful. Miracles are for those who are dead in the faith. Much like electrodes on a dying patient can jolt them back to life, but once they are made alive, another shock just might kill them again. So don’t follow the miracles. And because “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things that are not seen”. (Hebrews 11). Once your faith has been jump started by a miracle, you need to stay in “the substance of things not seen”.  “For without faith in (the invisible) God, it is impossible to please Him, for one must first believe that He is (because we can’t see Him) and that He rewards this who diligently seek Him” as the ongoing byproduct of a vibrant relationship with Him who did not show you Himself to you in a physical way when He saved you.

And so we do, and we share our rewards. Freely we’ve received and freely we give. Besides whatever we give out, we receive back, some ten fold, some a hundred some a thousand fold and more. So why wouldn’t we? Besides, the early apostles chided some who thought that God could be bought and they replied “you money perishes with you”. That’s because we have our own reward on the inside. Remember? “The Kingdom of God is within you?

To help you understand this Truth, we go to Christ’s debut appearance which took place after He went through His 40 day testing to Satan and retrieved what he stole from us. Which is the gift of godliness given to the first father Adam, which he promptly lost. This is why scripture calls Christ “the last Adam” because He started a new assembly line of those reimagined like God the Father. Yes Adam and Eve (Havah) were made in the image of God and lost it. The result is humanity would be limited to serving and seeking to fill themselves with some sort of satisfaction, all of them temporary of course. But for those who press into Christ to get the gift of godliness spelled out in the gospel? They’ve become “wells of living water”. (Last great day of the feast John 7)

The parable of sowing (or planting) seeds was given to us by Yashuah to teach us internal, eternal principles. We are taught that “He only spoke to the people in parables and without a parable spake He not”. Meaning that the instructions from scripture are not to be taken literally. Not that they can’t be factual or physical because in many cases they are that too. But if the expectation is to have another Christ in human form and one miracle from Christ after another, you’ve found yourself a really good genie in a book and then who serves whom? And He would need to be NOT transformed like we’re suppose to do, but sub-formed, meaning to be put back underneath who He truly is.

The purpose of scripture is for your transference from old to new, from the old you, to a new you. A you like Him in His element. To claim the image that Adam lost and the man/God Yashua who retrieved it. And because the fall and departure of God happened in the invisible realm of faith, that is where the fix has to take place too. Then naturally the rest of Gods giftings for our inheritance follow accordingly for those who “diligently seek Him”.

Escentially, you pick back up where Adam and Eve got off course. To “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling”.  What does this have to do with miracles? Let us go up from here.

The Kingdom of God is at hand. Amen!

Heavenly Jeru-shalom is The City of Peace and the Fulfillment of all things.

Christ came forth with an invitation saying “The Kingdom of God is at hand”. If you remember the Jews chided Him about Him being a King with a Kingdom. Christ’s reply? You have rightly said I am King, however My Kingdom is not from here” thereby distancing Himself from them and that blasphemous city. So what about His Kingdom? Where is it and who lives there?

1 Peter 2.6 states that; Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion A Chief Cornerstone, elect and precious, And whoever believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.” And subsequently, whoever believes in Him shall be set in stone, in a proverbial sense because those who are truly “in Christ” are in the immovable unshakeable and eternal composition of Spirit and Truth.

We learn here from 1 Corinthians “Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. ¹² Now we have received, NOT the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, for us to know the things that have been freely (already) given to us.” Meaning, we have His things with Him From before the creation, being the Eternal. And “the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. ¹⁴ But the natural man DOES NOT receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to them because they must be spiritually discerned” and carnal senses do not pick up on things that are invisible. And just as someone can try to explain the flavor of something they have already eaten, so too we give you these accounts. That the things of God are at hand even now.

It is NOT then that we are literally stone, but we have the parallel in the spirit of something rock solid hard and immutable. Peter also says of us that, “you (meaning you who have this faith) also, as living stones, are built up (and assembled together) a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual (not carnal) sacrifices acceptable to God through Christ. And this being “built up a habitation of God ­in the spirit”, is with spiritual members and not physical because all creation and the heavens cannot contain God, but because we’ve been grafted in, like stones set with mortar with Gods Holy Word and Holy Spirit. So we can interact perfectly with the Godhead because He has given us the infrastructure to do so for “in us dwells the fullness of the godhead body and we are completely in Him who is Head over all principalities and powers”. Having accepted this Heavenly station, we need no other surrogates or instructors to secure this. Us being “seated far above all principalities and powers”, prophets priests and kings. We have cast off all mimickers, wanna be’s detainers and anchors of the soul. We’ve learned to use what we’ve been given.

This is what it means to “abide in Christ”. It is to be with Him where He is with what He’s had before time began. And who He was before and after He put on the flesh and dwelled among us. And upon the completion of creation in the beginning and on the 7th day when God rested from all His works, He has asked us to join Him there. Meaning for you to profess the promises NOT from the stand point of being a beggar to a master, but a co-equal, co-owner. That’s what it means to be an heir, to sit side by side and see eye to eye with the Father This is the gift of God.

So you need to learn to regard the promises in His word, as greater value and strength than all the visuals and mental constructs that try to distract you from aquiring your inheritance in this Rest. This is our abiding in our sanctified safe zone. This is being saved and anything short of this, is not very safe.

And again “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of (the natural) man
the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.“¹⁰ But God has (already) revealed His things to us by His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep (and hard to understand) things of God. ¹¹ For what man knows the things (of hidden thoughts and preferences) of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the (hidden) things of God except the Spirit of God (and whom He reveals them to). ¹² Now we have NOT received the spirit of the world, but (we have received) the Spirit who is (eternal) from God, for us to know the things that have (already) been freely given to us”.

These are laid out cryptically in scripture for our discovery of knowing our new home and who our new self is that lives there. The one imaged, wired and formatted like the Only Begotten that we are to emulate and pattern ourselves after, as “we work out (the details) our own salvation”.

Paul goes on to give a parable of his purpose saying “as a wise master builder, I have (proverbially) laid the foundation, and another (proverbially) builds upon it“. This is speaking of laying down Gods Word as a sure foundation and as the invisible brick and mortar suitable for this building project we are living stones assembled to.

Understanding this just obliterates the whole idea that we have to wait for God  at some illusive second coming, to bring His realities into view in a way to appease your carnal senses.  That this would be something to become true, real and reliable later? Those things are not eternal but in the making. And the only making taking place now is in your realization. That’s where it doesn’t exist yet and needs to be made because you haven’t recognized it. For this we have each other and scripture being the blue print. Hopefully you are getting this because it is more sure and endiring than the ground you walk on.

So you think then, okay so I kinda get that, but how is this all put together? Well the scripture says that “we are a habitation of God in the spirit” showing us that His building blocks are us, because if He used elements of creation including human flesh to make us new, He would violate His own law of “kind begets according to kind”. And because Christ said “My Kingdom is not from here”, meaning of the 6 days of creation, we should never expect it to be from composition down here on earth.  For “as the Heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways” says the Father. And His things are different then the earthen composition we are carnally familiar with.

Paul spoke of the building and the body of Christ as one as seen here “For we, t many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread.

Also from Paul in Corinthians 15 “flesh and blood does not inherit the Kingdom”, but the re-newed and re-spirited mind of faith does and it does it NOW! And not at an elusive 2nd coming. And as Christ said to Nicodemus, that which is flesh is flesh, and that which is spirit is spirit, you must be born again and those of us who believe? We have. Yes we possess the things of which we speak of which we heard from the Father.

These concepts (invisible reality) are our eternal building blocks we get to keep and use even today and every day, for “today is the day of salvation” and the application thereof. This is our saving and being safe. None of the several powers on Earth, even collectively all working together can do this.

Didn’t God say of humanity after He had defined them that “God had looked upon all that He made and said NOT only was it good, but it was very very good. No modifications deletions or addendums. Meaning, there is nothing wrong with the human body other than the mind that uses it. That’s because it’s void of Gods Holy Spirit. If the flesh was bad, the only Begotten could not have used a human body to reverse the Adamic infection that was only associated only with the spirit of the mind. For this we have scripture for the scribing of the mind. The mind is the place of both the fall and the resurrection happen as well as the ascention. As we’ve frequently said. There were no broken bones, contusions, concussions or wounds at the fall, just an inversion Into fearful and selfish thinking. That’s where the fall took place and those are to two main mindsets that fuels all other barriers to the Spirit.

That is the purpose of being born again and our do over of being born of the spirit. This is where the reversal takes place outside of human perseptions.

(Please read John chapter 3. 1-10 if you don’t understand this for this is also where you get your new citezineship before your expiration and duty on Earth)

So we can see the inverted thinking like this when it comes to Jerusalem. The Jews had their solid stone physical temple. What they had was NOT so much Gods temple but a copy and a similtude of His Eternal temple in the Heavens awaiting our occupation. And that copy was for instructive purposes only to help you gain access. For even in the law they were told, “when you build a temple for Me you shall NOT build it with chiseled stones. For in the day that you use any tools upon them, you have defiled them. DO NOT ASSOCIATE ME WITH SUCH! God doesn’t like your brick and mortar cathedrals. The adoration you appropriate there belongs to the invisible.

So you pretty much have to put off the idea that Gods building is a physical church as many erroneously assume. For even the Greek word translated church is “ek-klesia” and means “the called out ones” and not a physical building, which confirms what we say. The church is the people, that “wherever two or more are gathered (assembled) together in My name, there am I in their midst”. That’s because He is our focal point and plumb line for building purposes.

For this you still have time to make the exchange old thinking for new. A physical for an invisible. This should be your posture and crossover point for every new revelation you see and comprehend, which also means unveiling. That is how we see and understand our Heavenly Jeru-shalom meaning our city of peace, in contrast with that monstrous-city from earth like compositions.

Heavenly? Get it? Come down of God from Heaven? And NOT of human effort or composition on earth!

This they forgot and the teaching tool became mistaken as the real deal by the Jews of old and the entrance to the real deal was closed to them because “they sought it NOT by faith”, but as it were to be fact, and were condemned and expired. Which is a word that means exhaled and breathless, referring to the Holy Spirit leaving that place to become that God forsaken place that was overthrown “till not one stone was left upon another” because that was the day God without remorse forsook it.

That was displayed after the last Pentecost and in the upper room. Then everyone from all nations spoke of the glories of God, of something the Jews thought they had the corner on the market. In order for the promise given to Abraham, that “in you all nations of the earth shall be blessed” as being the primary source of His offspring for “God shows partiality to no one for a select carnal DNA . That earthen made Jerusalem no longer had a purpose but to show us how NOT to do it. That temple became adulterous.

That is why Christ told those leaders, “not only are you NOT entering My Kingdom, but you are also diverting those who are trying to do so”. Ever since then, the gospel is preached and all are entering” regardless of those buildings and the Jewish leaders interference.

Meaning, any such gospel message that does NOT teach that the Kingdom of God is at hand even now, is likely as blasphemous as those of old and may be listed for judgment in a similar fashion. So, repent for the Kingdom of God IS emphatically at hand, and it is NOT over there.

If you remember what God spoke to Moses about using earthen stones and buildings to put His name on. He said “whenever you use any stone to build a temple for me, if you use any tools or tooling on them, you have defiled them, you have made them unholy, DO NOT ASSOCIATE ME WITH SUCH”.

As you see we are NOT suppose to associate God and His things with modern masonry.  It is encumbant upon us to build His things with His stones, living stones we know to be the hearts and minds of His people. Didn’t He say “wherever two or more are assembled in My name, there am I”? What do you need brick and mortar for?

For this reason “we are His living stones assembled together a habitation of God in the spirit. This is His composition assembled and joined to The Chief Cornerstone.

If you understand that fish live in water, creatures on earth and flying things in the air. The same way spirit lives in Spirit and as Christ said to the women at the well “the time is already here when you neither worship the Father in Sameria or Jerusalem, for God is Spirit and God is truth and seeketh such to worship Him”. So you can see that physical places can’t get you there, but the re-newed spirit of the mind can (Romans 12.1)

With that corner stone called Christ being set in eternity, that is the first likeness of the adjacent bricks. So we too take on that composition and His features to do what He does. That “when we see Him as He is, we shall be like Him because we shall see Him as He is”. And because “it is with the heart that one must see and hear to receive the things of God”. With this key you can understand that the sender and receiver components are Gods Word and Spirit.

For this reason we see Christ the Chief Cornerstone, then the apostles are the foundation and the prophets are the gateways because they are the open doors. to access.

It was Paul who put it like this ”

 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are Gods building. ¹⁰ According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid (explained) the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. ¹¹ For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. ¹² Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, ¹³ each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is (visible or invisible). ¹⁴ If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures (is eternal), he will receive a reward. ¹⁵ If anyone’s work is (of earthen composition it will be) burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

¹⁶ Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? ¹⁷ If anyone ^[b]defiles the temple of God, God will destroy them. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are. (At least that part that doesn’t wear out.)

So be like the wise Stewards whom when the Master found them watching, He made them rulers over all that He has. Have you been found watching, listening, learning, taking notes and putting these things together in your mind? Because that is where they belong. Even as Christ said “for the time that is coming is already here when you will NOT worship the Father in Jerusalem, but in spirit and truth. For the Father is Spirit and Truth, and searches out those who seek Him in Spirit and Truth.

So in this way we are Begotten into and are participants as part of the structure of Heavenly Jerusalem associated with Gods Holy Spirit. This is why Paul called “Heavenly Jerusalem the of Mother of us all”.  In this way we are adopted into the family of God because we took Him at His Word.

So we will direct this discourse with the dream Danial warned Nebuchadnezzar with saying “⁴⁴ And in the days of these kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall ^[n]break in pieces and ^[o]consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. ⁴⁵ Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands (or human equipment), and that it broke in pieces the (the one that was with) iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold—the great God has made known to the king (and us as well) what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure.” And because it crushes and consumed all others, that it is the last and the only one that makes it through the fire and the consumation. And you know what? We are that culmination and that consumation revealed by fire because there was nothing left standing.

And now from the Angel in The Revelation who told John;

⁹ Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came ^[f]to me and talked with me, saying,“Come, I will show you the ^[g]bride, the Lamb’s wife.” ¹⁰ And he carried me away into the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the ^[h]great city, the ^[i]holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, ¹¹ having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.

¹⁴ Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the ^[j]names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. ¹⁵ And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. ¹⁶ The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand ^[k]furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height are equal. ¹⁷ Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. ¹⁸ The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. ¹⁹ The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, ²⁰ the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. ²¹ The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

The Glory of the New Jerusalem

²² But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. ²³ The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine ^[l]in it, for the ^[m]glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. ²⁴ And the nations ^[n]of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor ^[o]into it. ²⁵ Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). ²⁶ And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into ^[p]it. ²⁷ But there shall by no means enter it anything ^[q]that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.”

As you can tell there are no physical stones here but like stones but each one of them clear stone, invisible stone

Having made clear these specific truths, you might like to know that the Angel that showed John these visions and Heavenly Jerushalom, is the same “Angel who had the seven bowls filled with the last seven plagues. But the most interesting thing about this Angel is that after he revealed all these things he said to John as if He was Christ “Behold, I am coming quickly and my reward is with me to give to each one according to their work. And upon the Angel saying this, John fell down to worship him as if he was Christ and the Angel said  “see that you do not do that, for I am a fellow servant and one of thy brethren of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.

What John just witnessed was a Glorified Saint, a fellow citezine and member (or structural beam) of the household of God” who was fully employed. Wasn’t one of the promises in this book that “To those who overcome, that Christ would make them “a pillar in the house of my God”? And what would a pillar do?  Uphold the Testimony.

The Kingdom of God is at Hand as seen by the events that happened in John’s day. Amen and Amen!

The Day of our Lord is thought of as that coveted time for most believers. It is taught as that place that after all the dust settles from the sqirmishes of this age have been settled, and all the powers that be have been measured and judged, and that the seats of the elect have been fulfilled, that all rogue powers have met their demise, and all others have been measured, meeted and rewarded accordingly. This being Gods last and final reset, we can then enjoy the time unhindered in the place wherein only righteous dwells. But is this true?

Some use the venaculure of “Christs second coming” to refer to this period of time. Yes we know that there is a first coming for the cross and His last coming for His final judgement, but His comings are many.  This time is not “the acceptable year of our Lord” because that’s been fulfilled, but a time that is known as “The Day Christ comes to be Glorified in (and with) His Saints” as God’s final prossesion and proof that God made man in His image and likeness as He declared from the beginning, the purpose of creation itself, for each one of us to realize, to reach out to own and actualize the empowerment given to us as evidenced at the cross. Then pursuing  with the further trials and testings, for each one of us to lay ahold of the prize, each one in their own order over time for the number to be fulfilled.

Having clarified the end of ALL things, let’s discuss what things will look like in that coming age because it takes on features we can define with modern day concepts. However, because Christ said that “it is with the heart that we need to see and hear to understand the things of God”. And scripture also says “For as the Heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts are higher than your thoughts”. That Gods things are immensely different than what’s carnally common and taught to us by way of contrasts. We are talking about the place wherein only righteousness dwells. (2 Peter 3)

We see a picture of this with Heavenly Jerusalem come down of God from Heaven, whose adornments are the righteous acts of the saints. We understand this city whose foundation are the apostles and whose gates are the prophets, 12 in each category as being a structure you should be familiar with “Today if you hear His voice”. Then of those who built upon this foundation. For no other foundation can be laid but that Which Christ (The Chief Cornerstone) laid, and let everyone be careful how they build upon that platform for it will be tried by fire. Then each ones praise will come from God. This is the place in the Spirit rightly called, Heavenly Jerusalem, the Mother of those born from above of the God. (John 3)

We see inside those around the throne of thousands upon thousands and ten times those thousands of those who worship the lamb of God who gives light to Gods Kingdom. We see those dressed in robes which are really not clothing as many suppose but “the righteous acts of the saints”.

We also see the account that there is no longer the need for a sun and a moon as many suppose because the lamb of God is our illumination. That because God is light and in Him is no darkness at all, there are no shadows, discrepancies, ambiguities, uncertainties or un-answered questions here. That “we walk in the light as He is (that) light”. It is here that all things make sense. There is therefore no need for a sun or a moon, or for that matter, the Earth or the Heavens that pertains to the 6 days of creation, because we are talking about the immovable, unshakeable eternal. As eternal as the one scripture defines as the Son of God, “the same yesterday, today and forever”.  You don’t think He’s seated in the heavens in a temporary apartment waiting to come back here and live do you?

What we just defined pertains to God in the Spirit in His realm with His securities, pleasures and goods, for “flesh and blood does not inherit the kingdom” but the re-spirited mind of faith does. And that’s our point. Like Paul said “who shall say, let us go into the Heavens to bring Christ down? Or, who shall descend into the deep, that is to bring Christ back up? But no the word is in your heart and your mind that you may hear it and do it”. To do what? To be so emphatically connected and linked to that one that you quit looking forward to something or someplace or another time to be fully enveloped in the love of our Almighty Father, for “what shall separate us from the Love of God in Christ His Son? Neither height, depth, powers , principalities or any other created thing” can do so and that “we are (already even now) more than conquerors through Him who has loved us”.

As Peter concludes “therefore since all these things shall be resolved, what manner of persons shall you be in all Holy conduct”?

It is here that we can conclude that this new creation is unlike the creation made for humanity in their human condition. And the truth be told, is that this “New Creation” is a creation because of its design and features but it is NOT a creation of something being made.

You see there is a creation and a Kingdom made, having already been made and in existence, from the foundations of the world. Meaning that the creation we are referring to is the original that the creation common to humans, is patterned after, however by way of contrasts and likenesses.

So the original is not being made in the sense that it is not yet. It is however being made in the sense that you don’t know it. We who do, know it as “The Kingdom prepared from before the foundations and beginnings of the world”.

It is because this building takes place not on earth, or in the physical but in the spirit of your mind, that makes it hard for many to receive. We cannot show you pictures of this place because “eye has not seen nor ear heard the things that God has prepared for those who love Him. But God does reveal (unveil and make known) them to you by His Spirit, ya, even the deep things of God”. And it is more than just making them known by mental picture to think about, but as invisible realities that coexist, however was is totally blind and ignorant of the other. That is why Paul had prayed that you may know with the eyes of your understanding looking inward and not out.

And if you remember the Samaritan lady at the well inquiring about these things, Christ told her ” assuredly and truly I say to you that, the Day that is Coming is now here when you will neither worship the Father in Sameria or Jerusalem (on earth). For the Father is Spirit and Truth and seeks such to worship Him”. Having you taken your spot here?

The Son of God hereby shatters any concept of creation as we know it in a human sense. That any expectation of any future victory or another coming savior, needs to be extinguished before you can fully enjoy the spoils of our victory of the cross. For there in the payment was rendered “paid in full”. And Christs final words at the cross “it is finished”. Our safe passage home is secured, for everyone willing to take God at His word and return home.

And this is the purpose of The New and final Covenant of God signed NOT with ink as are all others. But this covenant, and Will and Testament is signed by the blood of the death paid by His Son for more than just a redemption available to all creation. No, His blood is the very ink on that Will and Testament, assuring us that the inheritance has already been made available to all who return to God the Father in Spirit and Truth to claim our inheritance defined by that one and only, eternal, unchangeable, already dispensable inheritance of “everything that pertains to life and Godliness” spelled out in that Will and Testament reserved for the saints, but NOT for some supposed time in the future other than it is a realization you wake up to, to find out that Gods been standing here arms wide open the whole time been.

Flat out! Irrefutably, The Kingdom prepared from the foundations of the world, is one and the same as Christ’s first words upon NOT His inauguration but His first revealing. He went into the temple and read from the scribing of Isaiah about the setting the slaves free, the healing the lame and blind and announcing “The acceptable year of our Lord”. He then said “today these words are fulfilled in your hearing”. And from that moment on He went about teaching that “The Kingdom of God is at hand”. Meaning, open for the heirs. And you know what? This Kingdom call is still the main point of scripture even today. And even from before Christ announced it the prophets said “today is the day of salvation. So do not harden your hearts (in unbelief) as those who did in the wilderness where they saw My works and would not enter in”. God the Father also saying “That’s why I was grieved in My heart and swore they would never enter My Rest because they would not enter it by faith, but the works were finished from the foundations of the world”.

So the big elephant in the room here is, are you willing to set aside your carnal expectation of seeing the Kingdom of God in order to enter into the Rest of God. As scripture says “and on the seventh day God rested from His works (of any further creating in this realm) and in this day they shall not enter, although the works were finished from the foundations of the world”.

You see, God is all Glorious, full complete and absolute utter perfection. This kind of creation can not be made and cannot be duplicated. It can only be realized or rejected or destroyed. In this way “The Kingdom of God is at hand”. Welcome Home.

The Coming of Christ stirs up much controversy and has sign seekers theorizing and date setting for years and in each case be wrong.

So we have to ask ourselves, what does Christs coming mean, and what does His coming really look like so we know more clearly what to expect, lest we too be scoffed at by the secularists and deniers of this age as the false prophets come and go.

Remember, it will be “as in the days of Noah” and everyone is caught off guard. That people will live their lives seemingly normal, untill the ramps of the Ark were lifted up.

And also of the parable of the Master of the feast who rises to close the doors and many were left outside? They said “Lord Lord, open unto to us. And He said “I do not know you of where you are from”. Ouch! You don’t want to find yourself there where His coming came and went without you because you were not in the ark, meaning the ark of the covenant, the safety zone of living by His promises as seen spelled out in His word we call the New Will and Testament or Covenant. Same thing.

The Ark of the Covenant pictures the security for us through the storms in life. The New Covenant, Will and Testament, instituted by the blood of Christ is our place of sanctification. Whether it’s Noah’s Ark, the Ark of the Covenant or the New Covenant, Will and Testament, being “in Christ” and Heavenly Jerusalem, they are all descriptives of our heavenly home and safety zone with God in the spirit. Where “no weapon formed against you shall prosper”. But you must abide and remain in the “Ark of the Covenant” meaning”in Christ” because unfortunately for your human, it cannot see nor comprehend what we are talking about because “it is with your heart that you must see and hear to recieve the things of God”.

When we abide in that agreement, covenant and testament of God, we are saved, safe and protected by Gods Word and Holy Spirit. This is what it means to be “in Christ” by an act of Faith, which means we can’t prove it.

So let’s get rid of some confusion first on what to look for with Christ’s last  coming because His comings right now are many. He is the ” lol I am with you always”, so you need to quit expecting Him to appear before you in a form more soothing to your carnal senses because He has said “I will never leave you or forsake you”. I am right here right now! Says the Almighty God and Father.

Paul in scripture is a hard one to understand, for even Peter had this to say of Paul that, “¹⁶ as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures”.

It is primarily because Paul went through a huge transition. That Paul was a full blown Pharisee, being of a”brood of vipers and sons of satan”, untill Paul had this encounter when “suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. ⁴ Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me”? We learn here that when someone does something to one of Gods people, they are doing it to Christ because His body is a body of believers such as us. 

So with the tools Paul aquired from the gospel, he was able to climb up and clamor out of his vial disposition by degrees at a time, as a road map for even the most vile as was he. Pauls testimony was that he was “chosen first as a pattern for all to believe”, to show us that God does, then and now, change even the most despicable.

Paul was a prototype, because the Greek word for “first” is “protos”, and in context it indicates that others would follow Paul’s journey through the gospel and his contributing letters. Like an assembly line of those “putting off the flesh” and “putting on Christ” as scripture commands. Even as Paul had conveyed to us by the time he wrote Colossians saying; In Christ you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, (but not the flesh itself, just the sins of ignorant and neglectful thinking) by the circumcision of Christ” as a done deal.

Now if Paul in his beginning wasn’t in his words Chief sinner, he could not qualify as that prototype because then the gospel would need another testifier to fill Paul’s short fall of not being bad enough. But because Paul had led the charge in the antagonism to track down and kill those of the body of Christ because that’s what he was doing when God apprehended him, he delighted in the stoning of Stephen. He was the worst of the worst.

As Paul said “That God would show in me first a pattern (meaning progression) for all to believe”. So you know that there is no one out of reach from grace and the truth of the gospel, because Paul was that example’. He was implicit in hunting down and killing believers in Christ, but God had mercy on him only to demonstrate His forebearance.

Now then, because  Paul started a long ways off, and his letters shows this progression. For this reason his letters are progressive. His epistles are NOT all equally relevant at the same time. Like all scripture, it’s like Jacobs ladder. Paul had to climb up and clamor out of his antagonisms and weaknesses too.

Because of this we can see that salvation is progressive as seen here with Paul in Corinthians saying “⁵  that you are enriched in everything by Him in all ^[b]utterance and all knowledge, ⁶ even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed ^[c]in you, ⁷ so that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for  the (next) revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁸ who will also confirm (and visit) you (all the way) to the end (meaning a completion), in order for you to be blameless in/at the day of our Lord Jesus Christ”.  Or as it says in another place “for those of you who love His appearing”.

It is here that we will report the warning to stay away from those who say “look here and look there! Because it cometh not with (carnal) observation for The Kingdom of God is within you”.  So this should correct your focus.

Now having explained this, let’s take a look at Paul speaking of “the Lords coming” in his earlier understanding.

In 2 Thessalonians Paul wrote, “concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him”. Paul then spells out the obstacle and seemingly an event that has to happen for Christ to appear to your carnal features. That “the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, and will do so until he is taken out of the way”. And if Paul stopped with this, we would all be left thinking that we ARE waiting for another humanly visible work from another coming of Christ to accomplish this task but WE ARE NOT. Because if we were, then Christ would not be the Savior yet and the cross would not have accomplished your rescue for that’s what a Savior does, he saves. For “on Him was laid the inequity of us all (all humanity) and by His stripes you are healed) if you can learn to leave your old self in exchange for the new one like Christ, that He purchased for you at the cross. None of this happens later. It happens in a progression “each one in their own order” at their own time and NOT some collective end time coming.

Their are NOT 2 types of saving or 2 comings to save. There is one saving for all time looking forward and backward because of the permeation of Him who created time, is not subject to time. Therefore you have a time to accept that saving, then to grow in the knowledge of that saving and to put on the implements of that salvation while you sojourn here on earth. We do that one revelation, and one revealing and another coming after another as you are personally able untill the scripture is fulfilled in you that “of His fullness we have received”. Meaning “to work out your own salvation (unto completion) with fear and trembling”. Does this start to dispell the illusion that the Christ must make a camio appearance? In a sense this is a freedom from gravity and your initiation to ascend, to “come up hither” like John was instructed to do for his Revelation.

Paul breaks down this transition saying “Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s at His (consecutive) comings, (Meaning His last coming and not a 2nd coming) then comes the end when He delivers the Kingdom up to the Father”.

The glorious thing is that the “delivering up of the Kingdom” is, as the Kingdom is manifest and fully developed in you, that is your ascension to the Father and the delivering up of the Kingdom because “the Kingdom cometh not with carnal) observation for the Kingdom of God is in you”. And do you what? This happens “in the twinkling of the eye”, which is a fraction of a blink, and completely un-noticable to carnal perseptions. And that is the point. “The Kingdom of God is at hand” apprehendable  and attainable. If it is “at hand” it is within reach, but NOT to the carnal senses. And all  those who are looking for a second coming carnal appearing, alege themselves with those whom Christ said “they will say to you look over here and look over there, but do not go after them for the Kingdom of God is within you”! This is why His coming is imminent. And this is why some of you get this and some don’t. And if you understand this, and have received this, you will quit directing people to physical events and predictions to bring Him back to earth.

The gospel message was given solely as the evacuation process to save you from your Adamic fall of inverted thinking that made you dead in understanding the invisible things of God, to set you back up in your thinking. To “be ye renewed in the spirit of your mind”.

Now being raised back up meaning resurrected, you can commence your journey in your ascention to these stated (invisible) facts, as being totally apprehendable (meaning within reach or at hand) and completely attainable during your carnal existence. This is why Paul said “I plead with you by the mercies of God, BE YE RECONCILED TO THE FATHER! Meaning become one with. You can’t get any closer than this. In this way “The Kingdom of God is at hand”. For further explanation read on.

Now having been saved or made safe, then to implement  the full saving by putting on the instruments God gave you one revelation at a time, then to reach the full realization of all of Gods gift to us. This is what it means to “put on Christ”, “then comes the end”. But when the saving or being safe, and the time of implementation is over. Then the saying at the end of the Revelation from John will be implemented that “He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him [e]be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.” And salvation is over, time freezes and you are what you are, the gospel gets retracted, the invitation expired.

Then woe to those who haven’t received these new garments, the wedding garments. You don’t get them later for as in the days of Noah, the doors will be closed. For now the Kingdom is still at hand, and the wedding garments are still available.

The question is, did you press in to lay ahold of why Christ laid hold of you? Did you explore the depths and riches of the gospel? Because from this point on you can’t do that anymore, and now everyone will be seen by what they attained to while their sensors of the flesh were distracting them.

So now with Christs coming to save and his multiple comings and appearances to mature us made clear, we can go back to Paul in 2 Thessalonians and where he says of satan “whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and the brightness of His coming”. This has already happened for some of us. We can realize that this does NOT have to be experienced physically. Even as John in his 1st epistle said to the young “you are strong, the word abides in you and you HAVE overcome the wicked one” who also said “what overcomes the world is our faith” and not some second coming event on Earth.

Now with Pauls verbiage saying of the anti-christ, “whom the Lord shall consume with the breath of His mouth and the Brightness of His coming”, could appear to be all future. But let’s look at what Paul writes next in 2 Thessalonians because it contains the very tools Paul needed to defeat “the mystery of lawlessness” in his lifetime. “Whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming”? Because the breath of His mouth is Word and the The Holy Spirit, and the Brightness of Christs coming, is the same bright light Paul first encountered on the road to Damascus. 

We say that because Pauls first encounter with The Son of God was That great light on the road to Damascus and not a man as many suppose, meaning “the Brightness of His coming” had already happened to Paul at least once. Even then Yashuah told Paul “for this reason I’ve appeared to you for you to testify of what I have revealed to you and what I will yet reveal to you” indicating that “the breath of His mouth and the Brightness of His coming would continue to make multiple appearances and NOT just a first and second coming as many suppose.

And we will challenge you here. There is NOT one verse in scripture that reduces Christ to a first and second coming. Go look! The verbage of “the second coming is not in scripture. It is unscriptural because His comings are many. And there is a last coming which will surprise everyone, unless you get this figured out, because “today is the day of salvation”, meaning the completed package all the way to the end. Amen! There is no other time for you to attain what God has for you than the here and now. Your time invested into this has eternally greater benefits then clocking in and out for pay. If people really knew this, corporations would NOT be the dominant powers of today. “Choose you this day who you serve!”

 So then what Paul describes by “coming”, applied to himself as well as for is so that we don’t stay locked into that pattern of stagnation and lack of growth because we need another physical manifestation like the man Jesus was to come again, and then you still don’t believe? If “flesh and blood does not inherit the kingdom”, how is it many people think that’s what Jesus is and that’s what He must appear again like before they give Him proper credit?

Christ the Savior is still that Bright light thousands times a thousand throughout the ages. Didn’t He say “I will never leave you or forsake you? Why then won’t you take Him at His word? Can’t you hear the intensity of Paul saying “I plead with you by the mercies of God, BE YE RECONCILED TO THE FATHER!

For in fact, Paul had already seen Christ who justified his stewardship of the gospel as he told the Corinthians saying “9 Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord?” With these words, Paul by this time had already experienced the Breath of His Mouth and the Brightness of His coming, as we are hoping you are too.

And if this isn’t yet quite clear, let us quote from Paul even later on in his apostleship. To Timothy Paul explained what Christ looks like quite well commanding Timothy “¹⁴ that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s (final) appearing, ¹⁵ which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only ^[e]Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, ¹⁶ who He alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, WHOM NO MAN HAS SEEN NOR CAN SEE, to HIM be honor and everlasting power. Amen.

There is nothing else for us to do now but to continue in the Bright Light. Now it’s up too us to believe and except that the only block between God the Father and His fullness for you is your misconceptions and lack in faith. Do NOT insult the Father and return to a first and second coming mindset set, or you may miss everything in-between.

Since we started with Peter saying that Paul’s teachings were hard to understand. Let’s return to Peter who agrees with us saying to pay attention to “The Bright Light” saying, “^19 [i]And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts“. Here Peter shows us our part to play, and where the conclusion of the gospel takes place, in your inward part of the heart.

And don’t forget Christs first teaching in the gospel. “ For seeing with their eyes they see not, and hearing with their ears they hear not, for it is with the heart that one must see and hear to receive the things of God”.

Can you receive The Breath/Spirit of His mouth and The Brightness/Revelation of His multiple comings now?

In this way today, as it was first spoken back then, The Kingdom of God is at hand, the Kingdom is preached and all (who are able) are entering. Are you?

Next we will differentiate Christs multiple comings as a Bright Light from Heaven, from His final coming to do His last reset on all of creation.

When The Lord Comes to be Glorified in His Saints!

There is coming a time when the plan comes to completion, production ceases, the assembly lines gets shut down and dismantled. The quotas are filled all systems are go. The manufacturing plant is no longer needed.

As applied to creation and the Creator/designer and engineer, the command was given in the beginning to “make man in our image and likeness”. The product off the line are those who’ve obtained godliness, meaning God-like-ness of being re-made in His image. All of time and creation as well as the Gospel message itself, was given for Gods offspring to come into fruition. For God to have a harvest of those who have become uniquely like Him, “having put off the old man” in the fashion of Adam and “having put on the new” one like Christ. And they do this during their lifetime here as sojourners. This was the plan from the beginning and has been the purpose for all creation and of the workings of the Gospel as it transforms the hearts and minds of everyone who responds to the invitations.

This is why Christ told us that “the wheat and the tares mature together”. There is a final harvest different from the earlier gleanings and this happens when the opposition (the counterfeits and thieves) seems the most fierce. “First the seed then the stalk, the leaves then the full head of grain.

Paul said that the purpose of the Gospel is for the body of Christ to have equality among His members as seen in Ephesians saying 4 “¹¹ And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, ¹² for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the [e]edifying (development) of the body (and the building) of Christ, ¹³ till we all come to the unity (and an equalization) of the faith and of the (full) knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man (a completed saint) to the measure of the stature (equal in height, weight and value) of the fullness of Christ; as joint heirs and co-equals with the only Begotten Himself, us now having all things in common, having already been “given every spiritual blessing in Heavenly places”, and then learning how to use them. Ephesians 1

Christ then being the Chief Cornerstone and the first one set in place, and “we are all living stones assembled together (each of us in our own order to be) a habitation of God in the Spirit”. This is what the gospel supplies in the here and now.

Here we will emphasize “in the Spirit” for those who think God should appear as a man in a certain place at a certain time for you to become like Him? That is simply just a scriptural misunderstanding because the working of the gospel produces NOT beggar’s, but those authorized being “seated  in the Heavenly places in Christ”. Eph 2.8

Upon this completion of “the body of Christ” with the full number being reached, Him at the command center, there is equality and cooperation among His members. There is no preference one over the other, for we are all co-equals. The spoken of differential treatment and the rewards “according to works” are for those pictured at the final Judgment as seen in Revelation. 20.12+13 and 1 Peter 1.17

When the quota called the elect is reached, creation as we know it is no longer needed. Then it is time to impliment the next phase.

That is why 2 Peter 3.10 says, ⁷ But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and ^[b]perdition of ungodly men and why Jude says, Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, ¹⁵ to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”

These are proof that creation delivered the goods, and why a second coming expectation is confusing, which actually just means the last coming because His comings are many. (1 Corinthians 15.1+)

The last coming is not to save, fix, redeem or repair but to shut down the production line. If that’s not the case, Christ wouldn’t be “seated waiting for His enemies to become His footstool”. We’d all be fighting along with Him

And why Paul says “¹⁰ when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who ^[d]believe.

Yes the seeds He’s sown, have taken root in our hearts and re-spirited in our minds, and with our dedication and persistence to “lay hold of why Christ laid hold of us”. His seeds brings forth His fruit. Seeds meaning words because His words are His DNA, coupled with His Holy spirit, not just in part but as Christ said “be ye filled”. We now have no gaps or blank spots. And as He said “those who believe in Me shall be gushing fountains of living waters. We then being filled to the full, shaken up and overflowing, we’ve received all He has said and own them as if they are our own because they are.

Despise not the gift or the gift giver ye despisers lest He take away what you think you have and ye be found poor blind and naked.

You see the production line we call the gospel doesn’t just make vessels to be used by God as though He wants us to vacate and give up ourselves and become dead without the new because you are found waiting. (Think of the wicked servants) But to put on our new self like His self. We have our own self like His self to put on and use. To have put off the old without the new is to be “poor, blind and naked”. Where then is your body?

The distinction is this. If God wanted you to leave your vessel emptied of youself for Him to live in Himself without you, He never would have put you in human form to begin with.  So quit abdicating your responsibilities by doing so. He doesn’t want you to vacate it for Him or He wouldn’t have made you. He wants you to own up and co-operate with Him. He gave it to you for you to own up to the gift and use it for His cause. What He wants is for you to adopt and own your own version of Him for you to operate as if you were Him because you have his word and Spirit, then you also have His desire, empowerment and authority. It is the Elect who are the authorized versions for others conversions. “For even the angels behold the face of our Father” in us,and even demons tremble and cowar.

And from 1 Corinthians 6, ² Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? ³ Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?

And when our number and training is complete? Then  “The Lord comes to be glorified in His saints”, holy ones and the Elect.

The point of all of this is for you to understand that the gospel was given not for you to die to self and remain dead. If you are a believer who has “put off the deeds of the flesh” and feel dead, it is because you didn’t accept the exchange.

Each time we put something off, we get a new empowerment in return. This becomes the new you in contrast to the old you. “Old things do pass away and all things do become new” before this age expires. “What was sown corruptible is raised incorruptible because everything that arises in the ascention is in contrast to what it previously was and our ascention activation is now. A weakness for a strength. “And all things are of God”. What a blessedness. This gives you the ability to laugh when your outward man does something stupid, but to give glory Glory to the Father for learning how to walk incognito, despite your human looking exactly the same.

And from 1 Corinthians; ²⁶ For ^[k]you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many ^[l]noble, are called. ²⁷ But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; ²⁸ and the ^[m]base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, ²⁹ that no flesh should glory in His presence. ³⁰ But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption— ³¹ that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”

It is those whose works have been accomplished, having completed our exchange, having entered our Rest. We have ceased from our works as God has ceased from His,  which is the prize for our carnal exsistance. And in this way God has re-made us in His image and likeness in our invisible parts like His invisible parts.

For those who are reformated and refit through the gospel and being empowered by the Holy Spirit. You are the watchers and the holy ones. Watchers because you are observant for discovery purposes. You are holy ones because of God the Fathers protection guards you as you walk among the enemy. If you remember the Jewish leaders sought to apprehend Christ at the feast to kill Him and “He walked right through their midst” as though He was not there. That’s what the sanctification looks like. We call this, walking in cogneto because we have the natural ability to blend in.

Wasn’t Christ seen after His resurrection as a Gardner? And as a stranger on the road to Emauas? And on another form behind closed doors in the upper room? Same for us. Own it and have fun with it. Get used to the favor and protection of the Holy Spirit who was a pillar of fire by night and a cloud by day. She was the Brooder of Jeru-shalom, the helper and comforter, the teacher and protector of the elect. What a blessed new reality of being hidden “in Christ”, then when Christ is revealed to the world, it will not be to reveal to us our new self, no it will be to reveal us too when He drops our covering of walking incognito and taking charge because “we are complete in Him who is head over all principalities and powers, accept the power He shares with us the Elect. The gift is complete. This is  the “behold the Lord comes with thousands of His Saints to execute judgement. But for now? The Kingdom of God is at hand

Amen
