*A Glorified Saint seen before the End of the Age?

A Glorified Saint seen before the End of the Age. Is that possible? It is commonly thought that the glory given to Christ to give to the elect comes at the end of this age.

We have been going through a series of articles describing that our purpose on earth is to climb up and clamor out of the obstacles of our age, to lay hold of why Christ laid hold of us of things eternal. For us to be able to participate in His Glory more and more now as we do this. Does not scripture say “We are beholding as in a mirror the Glory of the Lord, and are being transfigured into His self same image from the Glory to the Glory as by the Spirit”? (2 Corinthians 3.18)  Shouldn’t we then know what the Glory is and how to enjoy it if not at least in part? That is if we are really (beholding) looking at Gods Glory and obtaining any of it.

If you remember Paul prayed for us in Ephesians 1. 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, (because that’s the only way the Glory is transfered from God to us.) and 18 the eyes of your [f]understanding being enlightened; (meaning to see the invisible) that you may know what is the hope of His calling, (His Glory to be shared with us to know and experience in) what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to (meaning just like) the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality[g] and [h]power and [i]might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.” 

Once again we demonstrate here from 2 Peter 2 that “God has given us everything that pertains to life and Godliness (including His Glory) through the knowledge of Him who has called us to (share in His) Glory by virtue”. By virtue that you can learn to hear and understand that this is the goal of your pilgrimage here on earth as becoming the elect and the purpose of  the gospel. It is for the Glory, and not for us to focus on a second coming or an end time scenario as tho we are held bereft to the things of God till then, except by ignorance.

And ignorance doesn’t mean being stupid, but it does mean to NOT be aware or take seriously the gift God gave us as being this significant, that is repugnant. Hopefully here you can advance now with the Heavens wide open to take the spot here with your new name on it. Do not insult the spirit of grace by whom you’ve been sealed.

Now if we were to show you someone in scripture who was once a simple human, turned prophet, testifier and judge and then was actually mistaken as Yashua/Jesus Himself, would you believe that this type of person exists? And that this one could fool even one of the most regarded among the apostles into thinking that this one was Christ Himself, would you believe it? Not that this one was intentionally trying to fool John. He was just doing what comes naturally as being “a new creation in Christ” before this age expires. He looked into the mirror of scripture and put on to own what he saw. What are the chances of that?

I mean, John was seen seated with the ten others at the last supper. Judas now being gone, so 12 minus 1, minus John, equals ten. And the account says that John’s head rested in the bosom of Christ, he was that close. You can tell by John’s gospel, his three epistles and the book of “The Revelation of Christ” that John the Apostle knew Christ as well or better than anyone else.

So if John who knew Christ like that, and mistook another in Glory like Christ, and this one was so much so like Christ that he spoke in the first person indicative as Christ without insulting Christ Himself. How else would you describe someone who has displayed equal authority over the affairs on earth as “The Only Begotten Son of God”? Is this one a crook? A dreamer? Some kind of mistake? An imposter? No! This one was an accomplished specimen of the gospel before the “end times” as many look to for their completion. Can you believe this?

Doesn’t scripture say that in Christ dwelled the fullness of the Godhead body, and “you are complete in Him over all powers and principalities”? And “of His fullness we have received”? And that “God has given us every spiritual blessing in Heavenly places”, minus none, not even the Glory. And even from John 17 where Christ prayed to the Father on our behalf saying “Father, I want those whom you have given Me to be with Me where I am that they may behold My Glory”, “and Father, the Glory you have given Me I have given to them also that they may be one with us. Them in Me,I in you, and You in Me that the world may believe”? (For the exact account go to John 17). I think we have made this quite clear.

Having shown you here the allocation of our union to the Father and the Son, and Them giving us Their Glory and Their love, showing us that these are not with held for a future event.

And if you think that it’s strange that, that same glorified saint was employed as opening the last seven seal in “The Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ” ends with this account

Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the [b]holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants (John and Us) the things which must shortly take place.

“Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

Now I, John, [c]saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.

Then he said to me, “See that you do not do that. [d]For I am your fellow servant, and OF YOUR BRETHREN they prophets, and of THOSE WHO KEEP THE WORDS OF THIS BOOK. Worship God.” 

10 And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.

(But when it is not and the doors are closed?) 11   then let those who are unjust, let them be unjust still; those who are filthy, let them be filthy still; those who are righteous, let them [e]be righteous still; those who are holy, let them be holy still.”. What category do you suppose you are in?

We’ll end our discourse with Pauls words  from 2 Timothy 2. 10 Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the [a]elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

The Kingdom of God with Eternal Glory is at hand, in this way. If you can receive it if even just in part or momentarily, and it is right here right now. Amen!

*Our Progression with Christ, Our Journey to Our Father


Posted on January 1, 2022 by ADMIN

The progression of Christ. Our Journey to our Father.

We learned early on about the birth of the Savior, Emmanuel and God in the flesh because that is what Emmanuel means, God is with us. That God took on human form and became one of us. Yes Word is another conception of who God is and how we can know Him. For this reason scripture says “and the Word became flesh and dwelled among us” like us and for us. However that was to be short-lived.

For this reason the gospel is progressive in nature, and beacons us onward and upward to a greater and larger understanding of who and what God really is, and in cooperating with the Holy Spirit, when we discover God, we recover ourselves as well. A baby in manger is a baby step into the Kingdom. That is only the introduction but there is a whole lot more.

We then learn of Christ as the inquisitive boy, who was not the Christ yet because Christ was a title for the job He had to do, however He is so much more. He stayed behind at the temple questioning the religious  authorities as His family left for home. When his parents realized he wasn’t with them on their journey, they came back and Jesus reasoning with his (Earthen) parents, they asked him what He was doing and He replied “I must be about My Father’s business. He knew He had another Father other than the carpenter.

We later see the Son of God in His 40 day stint in the wilderness doing what the Israelites couldn’t do in 40 years. It was there that He was offered by Satan all the kingdoms of the world and to Satan’s demise Christ left there with all of them anyway because He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. He was born King but was incognito, He didn’t want to blow His cover, for them they would not have killed The Lord of Glory.

From that day forward He went into the temple and proclaimed that “the Acceptable year of our Lord is fulfilled in your hearing” which is the way all things are fulfilled and from there He also proclaimed “The Kingdom of God is at hand” as being synonymous. This is something that confused many because they thought their Jerusalem was God’s Kingdom. But nevertheless He proved Himself by healing the sick and raising the dead, to fulfill old testament expectations of the savior, because these are a few things a savior does. He did this to expire all the old testament prophecies, to fulfill and shelve the whole Old Covenant (of death through sacrifices) as being fruitless because of a “New and Living way” had been provided for us to the Father. “Be ye reconciled to the Father” is the true object of our faith and the purpose of the gospel. To be once again joined to the Father in the way that Adam and Eve had before they invested their faith into the counterfeit ruler of providers.

The rituals of killing animals were for teaching and removed as unnecessary. Even as God spoke through the mouth of Isaiah saying

“To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me?”
Says the Lord.
“I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
And the fat of fed cattle.
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
Or of lambs or goats.

12 “When you come to appear before Me,
Who has required this from your hand,
To trample My courts?
13 Bring no more futile[f] sacrifices;

This is the Father’s heart of that whole era. They could never see the corolation and contrast between their sacrifices and the Fathers singular sacrifice of His Only Begotten that all others were supposed to teach about.

However we can learn of the true sacrifice of faith in the heart when father Abraham (who pictured our Father in Heaven). Abraham, like God, delivered up his son Isaac as a sacrifice and Abraham said to Isaac “do not worry my son for God will provide us a sacrifice”.  And He did, He provided the Lamb that was stuck in the thicket, which was a picture of the law.

That is why Christ came as “The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world”. To work His way through that briary stinging thicket of bushes called the law, as something no one else could ever do. And He did that to reverse the curse that separated us from the Father. To do away with the old testament law that made us good and dead and available to impliment the new that brings us life, eternal life. To trade one life for another, but make sure you do not still see Christ as dying.

The purpose of the cross was to shelve the Old Covenant Will and Testament, to Establish the New Covenant which when implimented, makes available to us our inheritance because the blood spilled for this Will and Testament was the hurt aimed at us that He took unto Himself. This provided to us our inheritance as the kin next in line. And because Christ experienced death at the cross, the inheritance was given. Yes the Creator God sent forth His only begotten, meaning the only one whose original source is eternity unlike the rest of Gods offspring.

“To as many as received Him (in this way) to them He gave power to become His children, even to those who (simply) believe in His name”. And we did not say “believed in His name” meaning past tense act, because we are beaconed to continue to believe in His name to each consecutive generation. (1 John 5) And we do this because the gospel was for that time and this time, and is progressive for all time, for each one in their own order of becoming saints.

If the gospel wasn’t progressive you would be immediately removed from this life but you have some learning and growing to do. And because scripture and the gospel is progressive you see The Son of God becoming a baby then growing up, and because scripture says “when we see Him as He is, we become like Him” we don’t want to be stuck worshipping a baby Jesus. Don’t stop there. Now, having come this far and understanding the progression of the gospel is a journey. That we are sojourners and pilgrims parabolically shown in the old testament, with the destination we call The Father.

We see Christ the man become the sacrifice Lamb “who takes away the sin of the world”. This is the one time the scripture that says “when we see Him as He is we will become like Him”. You don’t want to do that here because it was at the cross that He was NOT Himself. He took that on for our cause. He became the old you, He became the old me, He became all the sin and all the stench for all of mankind so that they would have a way out if they so choose.

Even in the old Covenant, the sacrifice was burned “outside the camp” as being infectious stinky and dispicable. We are not to stay focused on that. Even as Paul told the Romans that “God made Him who knew NO sin to become our sin, in order for us to become the righteousness of God that was in Him”. Having diffused the sin that leads to death He gives us life now, and not later. Otherwise you would not have professed (spoken into existence) that you are raised in newness of life as scripture commands. Unless maybe your leaders did not explain this to you correctly. You have your new being, and the gospel helps you learn how to use it. However because of this “those who have the Son have (eternal) life, and those who have not the Son have not life but the wrath of God abides on them.

What The Son of God did at the cross was to take every crime humanity would ever do onto Himself and became the pole, the tree and the cross where the lightning bolt of Judgment would land, with such precision and accuracy so as to neutralize any judgment, at least to as many as received Him. But what is hard to do is to relieve everyone from their self imposed separation from God of having a guilty conscience. Stop with your confessions at the cross! A sin focused conscience does not understand the cross.

God did not leave us in our sin. He did not leave us weeping at the cross begging for more forgiveness and crying and waiting for Him to come back to take you to a better place or a new level, rapture or whatever your eschatology may be, they are all wrong, because Today is the day of salvation and any salvation that is partial is a bandaid at best and leaves you struggling with sinning in your mind which is simply defined as unbelief. Unbelief puts you outside of Christ fending for yourselves.

For even the Israelites in Egypt and at the Exodus, meaning departure. After they applied the sacrificial blood to their door posts, they were suppose to eat the sacrifice in haste and get the heck outa there. Why? Like the cross, that belonged solely to Christ. As scripture confirms that our inequity was laid upon Him. He was striken for us all, and by His stripes we are healed. (Having already been given the healing in this lifetime).

For this reason we profess at baptism to be buried in the likeness if His death to be  meaning, resurrected in a new life because He became our sin for us to become His righteousness in Him. To be in Him in this way qualifies us to he “in Christ” “for even the angels in heaven behold the face of the Father in these little ones.

Now being passed the death and the resurrection is behind us having been provided to us through the cross.  We can now join Mary at the tomb, the stone rolled away, where no body lay. She then turns to one supposing him to be a gardener and asked him “where did you put my Lord. He exclaimed, Mary! And immediately she recognized it was her Lord and as if to try and hug Him He said “see that you do not do that because I have not yet ascended. But go tell thy brethren that I am ascended to My God and your God, to My Father and your Father”. You see He did not want Mary to cling or hold onto the wrong concept of who the Son of God is.

Every step that Christ took so far was to pull them out of themselves. Out of there death, out of sleep and indifference, ignorance and misunderstandings to arrive at the conclusion of the Gospel of being reconciled to The Father. Remember, when “we see Him we will become like Him because we shall see Him as He is” and he is no longer a baby, he is no longer a boy, he is no longer a just a prophet, He is no longer on the cross, He is no longer in the flesh and He is no longer in the tomb. DO NOT CLING TO THESE! “For I have ascended to My Father and your Father”. In a proverbial way Christ took your hand and put it into the hand of your Father too.

Side note: For this reason Paul in Timothy warned of those who say the resurrection is past, because it did happen with Christ and it did happen to many others, but that doesn’t mean you can’t expire the resurrection in yourself in your lifetime. In this way it is not past for some but for others it is. They ascend.

That is a point we are trying to make. That the gospel is progressive in purpose to “each one in their own order. Christ the first fruits then afterwards those who are Christ’s at His consecutive comings. (1 Corinthians 15)

That’s the glorious thing about scripture is that it meets everyone exactly where they are according to their need and abilities. That in actuality nothing is expired for you untill you receive it. That you move on in your own “transfiguration into His self same image from the Glory to the Glory by means of the Spirit”. 2 Corinthians 3.18 +

You can learn to expire in your mind those incidents as bygone conclusions, and reach for a greater understanding.

You can then realize if you understand this teaching, you will be able to see the book of Romans as an explanation of the expiration and the purpose of the whole old Covenant. That it is emphatically expired and shelved for historical reference only,  then to reach out NOT for the “Anastasia” the Greek word for resurrection but the “ex-anistadsia. Meaning out-of the resurrection”. Or a better term is the ascention. This  concept from the Greek taken from Philippians chapter 3.

So there is a difference from being resurrected and being raised up together in Heavenly places, which is the ascention and NOT the resurrection. You go from being dead to the things of God, to being alive, awake and spiritually alert, to then to go on to arise (which is your ascension) to take possession of the gift given. This is the Prodigal coming to their senses. The Father sees them a long way off, goes to meet them and says “this one of Mine was lost but now coming to their senses they are found. Therefore prepare a feast and cloth them with the finest attire and we will celebrate. For even the angels in Heaven resound in praise and jubilation at the arrival of anyone of God’s children to reach these truths and conclusions and closeness to the Father. Not conclusions, but THE conclusion because The Father is the end of the gospel. For the Kingdom is preached and the violent (or aggressive) take it by force).

Even as James said “recieving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls”. Your invisible parts stitched together with His to be indistinguishable one from the other. As Christ said follow Me that where I am ye may be also.

 

…Paul’s letter to the Romans was Paul expiring the resurrection, which is the first big leap. But even the first, or basic tenant of our faith is baptism which is nothing more then the conclusion of the old because both the baptism and the old Covenant take you to the same crossover point. The resurrection is different from the ascention, and our main point with Christ after His resurrection He said “do not cling to Me yet” do not stop and camp here for “I am ascending”.

…The Son of God having us follow us this far. Through the sin and death of the cross, to the burial and the resurrection they were not in limbo. “Tell them I have ascended? To My Father?. You have the resurrection, do you want the ascention? Because many don’t. They sit and wait like it’s like an intermission at a movie for the second half and they call it a second coming. But Christ said “do not cling to Me now” meaning you can do better. I am ascending to the Father. Didn’t He say in John to ” follow Me that where I am you may be also”? Are you now ready for the ascention? This is the reason we were left the comforter and helper who “will take what is mine and manifest it to you”.

…From now on you have known Me and you have seen Me! And “Those who have seen Me have seen the Father”. And our Father is God. “Let us make man in our image and likeness”? Our God and Father

The object of the faith was always the Father. Even as Paul said of our Father God. “Our Father who art in Heaven”?

“No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.” And if you remember it was John the disciple (He had not earned his apostleship yet) he was seen with his head in the bosom of Christ because Christ is the bosom of God our Father. The Son declared God because they had a heart to heart connection, as do we.

18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the (residents of the) world to Himself, not [d]imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.” Reconciliation means linked back together, to become one. And in case it is heart to heart and not like a place or a building because they said “I will never leave you or forsake you” we don’t have to go somewhere to get this, and we don’t have to wait as though it is in the making. “Be ye reconciled”.

20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf (in His stead), be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, for us become the righteousness of God (that resides) in Him.” For us to be on Him and with Him in the here and now, without faltering.

And as John finished his epistle with the Father, so too he started out with these words, “the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us— that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you that [a]your joy may be full.

All things the Father has are ours. This is The Kingdom. Amen!

What is it to be Godly and have Godliness?


Posted on January 1, 2022 by ADMIN

What is Godly and Godliness? And what does it mean for us to be godly in accordance with scripture?

The use of the word “godly” simply means God focused and driven to be like and emanate. So a life given to Godliness, is one in harmony and compliance to godliness. And this is generally according to scripture. This is the primary purpose of scripture is to re-image us into what God designed for us to be from the beginning, a look alike according to scripture, another represent or re-present the Father who said “let Us make man in our image”. This image was lost “in Adam” and found “in Christ”. That is why you want to be found “in Christ,”.

The word “accord” and “according” means in compliance and in harmony with. As this relates to the God of scripture, we are to be in compliance and harmony, meaning to harmonize and synchronize, with the things written therein. To become one with. As John put it “to know Him even as we are known” is to know Him as we know ourselves.

The book of James says that “we are Begotten by the word of Truth to be a kind of first-fruits of His creation”, or to become a new creation, meaning a harvestable ripe, juicy fruit, just like and “in accordance or compliance to godliness, being re-imaged like God.

Paul put it like this, “If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with (agrees with harmonizes and produces) godliness”. This is to correctly use scripture for this cause of our transformation, which is synonymous with transfiguration.

And scripture is not an idolistic notion. An idol is an object thought to possess power. And however scripture conveys power to our understanding that accords to godliness, without the proper integration of this godliness, or an ownership of a god-like-ness, scriptures and the bible itself just becomes idolistic and not idealistic.  “having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! Idols in escence is falsely placed power. It is that you have the power in yourself to wake up to be like the Father, you own branch of god-like-ness in the here and now, but to idolize is that you give that object, thing or person a power that came from you by subjecting yourself to another. And to idolize God the Father is not a loss of self power like with and idol, but He explains and amplifies some things that are dormant and resident in you, usually tucked in behind fear. With fear being neutered, you are no longer handicapped but more fully opened up for development that accords, or harmonizes with the Godhead body of whom you are called to associate with as your primary reason in exist in a developmental stage. Once you are done in this creation, there are things that can no longer grow and develop. That is why we are called to work on our own salvation with fear and trembling” instead of being an onlooker for another event from Heaven..

And such is the case in our day. People idolize Not so much the the gospel that accords (leads) to godliness”, but seem to be either be stuck in confessions and kneeling at the cross, or idle waiting for a second coming saving Savior to do something for you as though His first saving was on part, but He said at the cross “it is finished” and He didn’t mean just the first chapter. This is a faithless place to be and is akin to any idol worship being any object that you look at thinking that God dwells in that.

The bible and Gods words itself should be viewed as the only thing that can keep you alive and on track. You should consume the content untill it’s NOT second nature but first nature and the new nature because that’s the new you and that’s the truth. You should shred up God’s word and wear it out. That is the only Manual that can instruct you to “put off your old man” and put on your new person imaged like Christ, in true righteousness and Holiness, that accords to godliness.

Like Peter said that ” You do well to pay attention to it as to a light that shines in a dark place (your mind and heart) till the dawning of this age happens and the morning star (being the first light rays of various revelations of Christ) rises in your hearts”. Because “it is with the heart that one must hear and see to understand the things of God”. So there are your tools.

So to be Godly is someone whose focused on God, to become god-like or godly, to emulate and imitate. And some would say, well wasn’t man from the beginning made like God, in an image like God in Adam and Eve? Yes for tutorial purposes only. True godliness would not include a physical “image” to be like God because God has a different composition for us to be like Him we call “spirit and truth”. That is why the root word of “imagination” is to “imagine“, means to develope an image not of stone, but through mental constructs that we obtain from scripture and transfer to the mind, because it is in the mind where the transfiguration into the “image” of God takes place. It has to be etched or scribed (scripture) on your heart. And because “in the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God and the Word was God.” His words are what we become, but more than just the words, but the things the words describe. Otherwise we would not truely become godly, but just talk about it and recite it with no real change. However if you can talk about godliness with great ease, it is because the author of that word has given you authorization, as long as you don’t attach your old self to it.

This is why “if anyone is in Christ they are a new creation, old things pass away and all things become new”. And the “new” is the new image that accords (looks just like) to godliness

Just as Paul taught in Romans 12, be ye transfigured by the renewal of your mind.

And quite differently than like a fairy tale, which generally means tales of fallen fairies because fairies generally have superhuman cognitions that kids are taught about. So the point here is that the image or imaging of God, takes place in the mind and what is called the heart, describing our invisible parts….

But that too does not refer to your physical heart that goes thump, thump, but your seat of emotions, because that too is invisible like the seat of your thoughts called the mind, so that your thoughts and affections, being your heart and mind, these are the components you have now to clearly associate, ruminate to articulate and manifest the will of God

So then to become godly and god-like indicates that a person has obtained the mindset and emotions that come from a relationship with God, as God relates to us internally first and then eternally then externally.

This is why Christ warned us in scripture of those who scattered his flock, “they will say, look here and look there, DO NOT go after THEM but behold, the Kingdom of God is within you”. And if you can think, ponder and construct these concepts in your mind with scripture, to conseptsualize God’s things in this way, then you’ve made a suitable home for Gods word and Holy Spirit. Even as Christ said in the book of John “if you abide in Me and My words abide in you, you can ask what you want and it shall be done for you.” And “we will come to you and make our home in you”. This is abiding “in Christ” and Christ abiding in you.

This is the oneness, the koinania 1 John describes of being one with God through Christ. The word koinania is Greek and also used for intercourse. “that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship/koinania with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

If you remember God made all of creation in 6 days. Therefore God cannot be a creation as such, because Creation is something that is made after God by God. And if God is of this creation of created things, then who made this god you are referring to?

A designer, fabricator, maker and maintainer existed prior to creation. And that one said “Let there be light” first, because that light existed with God before anything of creation was made. So light was thing that came from God because every other mandate for creation was “let there be” and it was so . So light is the first from the source as a delivery mechanism from the eternal almighty God.

John says that Christ was “the true light that cometh into the world”. And even the Testimony about John the Baptist was, “he was not that light, but he was sent to bare witness of that light, He is the true (original) light that shines in the heart of every man.” Something the sun can’t even do.

So if Gods first expression was something, and the one and only thing that came forth from the Father, and that expression is light, then truely “God is light and in Him is no darkness”. And because God is light, then the Son who was and is a byproduct of the Father, who was in the beginning, is light Himself, and this rightly so. For this reason Christ said “those who’ve seen Me have seen the Father”. This shows us that both the Father and the Son from the beginning are light. Even as it also says that “He is the light that shines in every one’s heart”. From this we can understand that we are not speaking about a light such as we have, or even like the noon day sun. Those rays can’t shine in a heart. That’s the wrong composition because light rays of Earth’s realm fray and diffuse.

So when Saul/Paul was blinded by a light brighter than the noon day sun, where do you suppose that came from? That is right. And it did not fray and diffuse because after all that time it converts the souls of willing observers even now.

From these we can ascertain that God is light, but not like the light of this age but far superior and brighter. This is what God was like. This is what God is. Even as it is told that Gods Jeru-shalom has “no need for the sun because the Lamb is it’s light.” So even the sun has no place in this place we are inviting you to because it is other worldly. It’s made up of things eternal that were really not made but just exists.

Now then, when we’re asked, what is Godliness? Like all of Gods work it starts with light, but like all of Gods elements and features, the carnal man cannot understand them for “they must be spiritually discerned” and NOT carnally assimilated. Even as Paul said that “the gospel I preach to you did not come from man, nor was it taught by man but by revelation of Jesus Christ”. Therefore we can understand that the word “revelation” is associated with That Light whom we know as Jesus Christ. Not so much that revelation is that light as much as revelation is what happens when Gods light shines into your heart and mind, which are escentially referring to our invisible part that cannot be seen by anyone else, because “eye has not seen, not has ear heard the things that God has for those who love Him, but God has revealed them to us by His Spirit, yah even the deep, and hard to understand, things of God.

It is God alone who truely knows what is in the hearts and minds of everyone, including the data crunchers and info gatherers, forecasters and predictors of the day.

Paul said in his beginnings, for we know in part and we see in part and we prophecy in part but when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part shall be taken out of the way, and then we will know even as we are know. And that which was “in part” was not referring to creation but your old carnal understand. That we will know (God) even as we are known. This is absolutely correct. “We beholding as in a mirror the Glory of the Lord are being transfigured into His same Image, from the Glory to the Glory as by the Spirit”? This has absolutely nothing to do with creation as you know carnally. We have a different knowing, a different understanding and a different assimilation and activation than such is common to man outside of scripture.

 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is [d]perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now (being unperfected) we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part and I see in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.” Yes, to know God as we know ourselves.

As said Paul so say we, we are “a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect and the acknowledgment of the truth which accords with godliness,

This is the gospel completed in us that accords to godliness, to be a duplicate and re-presentation. Amen!
