The Testimony of Christ is Complete

The Will and Testament of Christ is complete.

It was Christ who said “I go to the Father and you see Me again no more”, who also said “follow Me that where I am, you may be also”as our intended goal.

That “we once knew Christ according to the flesh, but henceforth know we Him that way no longer”. Why? Because He who “in the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God”. That also “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us”. Who then put off the flesh and returned to the Father, who now calls us to Himself. How? By doing the same thing. We too become “word”.

That is why we are instructed to “put off the body of the sins of the flesh”, and not so much the flesh itself but the aspects of the flesh that are antagonistic to the reality of “spirit and truth”. And we do this with our tools in the faith. That “when we see Him as He is (WORD), we shall be like Him”? This has nothing to do with physical features, of something carried out by a poof of magic they call the rapture, but by pressing into the Kingdom, one revelation after another, in spite of the obstacles hurled at us from religious institutions claiming to work for God. You will know them as being profiteers for pay of money and Mammon.

For it is “the law of the spirit of life in Christ that sets us free from the law of sin and death” and not having to physically die to do so.  We say this so as NOT to bludgeon the physical body. No, for that is the innocent bi-stander, but we “put off the body of the sins of the flesh”. Which is a body of beliefs and principals or lack thereof. That is what we must put off as being substandard and antagonistic to the things of God. To then receive the exchange to  the truth and not new physical features. That we are to “be ye renewed in the spirit of your minds” as something that precedes and supersedes our carnal experience. “That we may prove what God’s good, acceptable and perfect will is”. That we can have both lives simultaneously, where the demands of the flesh have been squelched. It becomes a servant for a higher order of life. And that it is “the law of the spirit of life in Christ that has set us free from the law of sin and death”, and not our physical death or some second coming or end of life experience when we get our goods. This is the “Kingdom of God at hand” that Christ brought to us as He put out of business and shelved the old order of that day.

That is why it is “the slothful stewards” approach that says “my master delays his coming” as though Christ saving us is incomplete, that the cross was temporary, and He must do something more for our completion than just give His life for ours at the cross. For Him to have to do more, is blasphemy!

For we each one of us “shall stand before the Bema seat of Christ to receive for what we did in the body, good or bad. That we are responsible for what we do in the here and now of our life in the flesh where we are called to “work out our own salvation with fear and trembling” as our purpose here. This is us doing our part, because we have been given the way to overcome “the fall” as portrayed with Adam and Eve. And we do this through the application of the free gift we get through the gospel.

With this understanding, there are no good excuses for us not acquire godliness. Why? Because salvation is the restoration of the fallen image of God, to be raised back up in understanding where the fall took place. For there were no broken bones or sutures needed when Adam fell, but just to be set back in place of reflecting the image of the Creator who is a self governing sovereign indebted to no one. (This is the key) To no longer be lorded over by which we can once again say “Abba Father”.

This is the true gospel of salvation being our empowerment in the here and the now as being more than possible, but more so what is expected of us from Him who paid such a high price for our retrieval. As we read from in Hebrews to “let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God.

So the proof that it is now, is that the price was paid “in full” at the cross where Christ said “it is finished” and NOT “that’s all I can take”. Proving that the New Will and Testament is NOW in full force. And like all inheritances, they are in effect upon the death of the testator, and not some 2 thousand plus years later as most suppose. That we have access to “everything that pertains to life and god-li-ness by way of the knowledge (or of knowing) Christ who has called us to glory and virtue”, which takes place right now, in the spirit of our minds with eternal ramifications.

This is our inheritance as a result of the death of Christ. Yes He rose too to show us that He overcame. But He only did that because there was no other way. Even as He prayed in the garden. “Father if there is any other way”. All He had to do is to look at those saved by the Old Law Covenant and concur that “there is none righteous, no not one….

As it was written in the book of The Revelation, “The Testimony of Jesus Christ which God gave His servants of things which must shortly take place.” Was not to be a long drawn out process. If it was, the gospel would NOT be complete, but it is now. Even as we read in Hebrews, after He had purged our sin, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, and has become greater than all the (messenger) angels (and the law with the prophets), who now waits till His enemies are made His footstool”. How? It is us that apply these truths in the spirit of our minds, and in this way we are counted as being among The Elect.

This is THE message first spoken by the Son of God inviting us to “The Kingdom of God at hand” of “the Kingdom prepared from the foundations of the world”, as a testimony that preceded, superseded and  replaced the Law era that “shortly took place” because it took place and happened to them back then. And The New Testament is irreversible, un-expire-able, irrevocable, unchangeable, eternal and always “at hand”. And it is always new because of its ubiquitous nature, as “The Kingdom prepared from before the foundations of the world”. Eternal things can not be newly made, but brand new in their eternal glory, indicating that it is not in the making or coming later at a rapture or some second coming event as many suppose. And it is NOT time sensitive or location specific, or it could not be “at hand” and it could not be eternal. That is because God and His things are not subject to such.

But the Apostles who were sent out to the four corners of the earth, did so to preach that The Kingdom of God is at hand”, as not being time sensitive and location specific for if it was, it would NOT be “at hand” and it would not be eternal because it would have limitations, and it does not, but the impostor does,

From the opening of the book of the Revelation “God signified it and sent it like a letter to all the congregations pertaining to the things that are at hand. For even after all the testimonies and prophecies old and new had ended by the time of The Revelation of Jesus Christ saying “seal not the prophecies of this book for the time is at hand”. This was to remind us that the immanent return of Christ was associated with the invitation of “The Kingdom of God at hand” as being ubiquitous, eternal, surpassing space and time, proving to us that it is eternal. Meaning, all powerful and within reach anywhere and anytime, or else it could not be “The Kingdom of God at hand” but one that is coming later or that you must go to visit as many suppose. But their fruits expose themselves of being powerless as needing another because that is what they were taught and what they believe. But that simply is NOT the gospel, meaning the “Good News”. And that is not salvation but an empty hope to be realized later. Do you really believe that? Well that is NOT the gospel, which means, the good news. And “all the promises of God are yes and amen” and not maybe or later or at a secondcoming.

What this means to us today is that christian-dom  as a whole, has run it’s course. And the proof of this is that by and large, people believe the same things about Christ as the Old Testament Law era people did who were condemned and replaced for doing so. For they were not bearing fruit and had said “are you the coming one, or do we seek another”. So then again today they are seeking another coming one and the term “at hand is irrelevant. Hmh! What do you suppose the consequences are of that? Another time change? However the New and Old Testaments have had their turns for bearing fruit. Remember the parable about the farmer? Dig down around the roots and water it. Then if their is no fruit, pluck them out”.

,,When the gospel message that Christ died to give us,matches with and looks like the age in which He was rejected and crucified, don’t you think that would be another “last generation”? That the gospel once again has run its course? If God now wants to honor another fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, then He has to apologize to the last Jews and make repairations to them for Him being a hypocrite. And if that is the case, then the Jews are in control and God serves them. This is their agenda. “Whose coming is according to Satan with ALL lying signs and wonders if possible to decieve the Elect”, of the likes of us who participate in “The Kingdom of God at hand” that Christ was crusified to instill in us. This is the battle today for the souls of people.

As Christ stated “I have not come to bring peace to the world but to start a fire, and how I am … till it is set ablaze. That scripture only has relevance in the context of which it is written, of the invisible. That all the law and prophets era along with all the parables were just tools we use to understand invisible realities that are not time sensitive or area specific. For if it were, then the message that The Kingdom of God is at hand, would not be because it would have limitations but it does not. The limitations belongs to us. Our shortfall is in the spot of our understanding.

For those who ascribe any future relevance of needing something else to happen, meaning prophecies and end times, or another time of the Jews, are doing so without authorization. Meaning, without the Authors intent or permission. In this case the Creator God’s. Why? Because you have to re-use expired texts to do so. Think about it. Old Testament, New Testament, back to Old Testament prophecies again? They really do not know what they are talking about when in truth even the four Gospels are primarily in The Old Testament because The Old had not expired till the death and the Resurrection of Christ that happened at the end of the Gospels. That a Testament is a will and only in force after the death of the testator happens, meaning after the cross, which is the cross over from Old to New Testaments. And testaments has to do with the dispersion of the deceased testators goods.

The scriptures are an evacuate plan into the spirit. This is us “ceasing from our works as God did from His”, as ‘”all things being deposited to our eternal account. We cannot add to it or take away from it. Just accept it or reject it. And to accept it is to grow into the knowledge and the application of it. To “be ye renewed in the spirit of your mind”, is where this all takes place. This is the gospel.

The gospel message is about God’s Only Begotten. It is His story, and of no coincidence, it is “history” as having happened. He is the object of the vernacular of God. That those who are truly “in Christ” are “in the rest” of God called The Sabbath days rest, and with the rest of God of those who have accepted the Gospel in its entirety. No loose ends, no open ended phrases or time frames. No incomplete or unexpired texts. And surely no room for more prophecies to happen to give us something else. The cross was sufficient for these things.

For this reason the last book in scripture called Book of The Revelation, opens with “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly (means immediately) come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. 3 Blessed are those that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. Meaning, at your finger tips.

And that same “end times book” at the very end says “12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and that they may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For outside (for those who dis-beleive) are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the rooAnd if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.t and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth  say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 

The Kingdom of God really is “at hand”, meaning graspable and within reach, or Christ Himself would be a liar. Choose you this day. Amen

*The End Times Cult

The End Times Cult

In Christs early teachings He described the gospel as a drag net that caught fish of many kinds. That once the drag net was brought in, the fish would be separated, the good from the bad. This parable is an  analogy (because that is what a parable means) of how the scripture works. It appeals to a broad spectrum of people, and the fisherman is looking for those who seek the truth.

In another parable, he separates the goats from the sheep

And Hebrews says “12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. So that we know what tools to use to attract the sheep.

And goes on to also say 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and exposed to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

So for those who go to scripture for its intended goal of “Salvation” by a Savior, (think of the application of salvation from its core word “salvage” from the wreckage from Adam and Eve, as the reconstruction of something back to its original purpose), they would likely find favorable results because this is the genuine purpose of scripture and why The key figure in the scriptures is called The Savior, verifying our claim. Whether you call Him Jesus, Yahweh, Jehovah or Frank, if you go to scripture to obtain your own salvation, which means restoration, that the “division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and and the thoughts and intents of the heart? You have come to the right place for the right thing.

This is where Gods work of salvation takes place to affect their status of life, meaning a forever life. This is the Authors intent and purpose of the scriptures, is your salvation. That the wreckage of the fall of humanity that took place in the Garden of Eden, and with the restoration pictured in The Garden of Gethsemane (in Greek meaning garden of the “skull“) indicating to us where the restoration of the fall we call “the resurrection” takes place, is in the spirit of the mind, and why we need to use parables and analogies to help us with our invisible components for us to “work out our own salvation with fear and trembling”.

This is us taking responsibility with the gift of salvation that was given to us at such a high price of the Christ at the cross, for many to in turn wait for a second coming Savior to do something more like His blood was not enough. That is NOT gonna happen. That is the “slothful steward who said “my Lord delays His coming”, for His comings are many. So let us do this with diligence lest we insult the gift Giver and the giver becomes a taker as He retracts His offer and His help from the slothful stewards and wayward souls who use scripture out of context for other causes.

Because of this, Paul said “16 Therefore, (meaning from now on), we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ in human form, yet now we know Him (as a man in the flesh) thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is [in Christ], they are a new creation; old things having passed away; behold (or, check it out), all things have become new. 18 Now all (these) things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us (the tools of His word for) this ministry of reconciliation, 19 to witness, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing peoples trespasses to (as many as would receive) them, and has committed to us this word of reconciliation.

In other words, it is here for the taking. That “the violent take it by force. And from Corinthians “Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may be the winner. Not that you have to literally fight or scramble for it. But you do have to be this serious. This is The Gospel!

We are not dealing with an angry God under this premise. And this is why the Gospel means “The Good News” because the antagonism was neutralized by the cross. Remember Christ asked the Father if there was any other way” it must’ve been no because He still went to the cross.  And when the question was asked “ What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision?

It was the past record of the Jews of the the Law and the prophets that wasn’t too good, because the answer to that question was “10 As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one; 11 There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. 12 They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one.” 13 “Their throat is an open tomb; With their tongues they have practiced deceit”; “The poison of asps is under their lips”; 14 “Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.” 15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood; 16 Destruction and misery are in their ways; 17 And the way of peace they have not known. (Hmm, sounds like them again today)” 18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” 19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 

So however much people may go to scripture to feed other interests, like “end times” or holidays or wise saying or history, salvation is the purpose of its Author and why we have a Savior for the world who did so through the cross (John 3.16), meaning He is the Savior for all who would accept this message. Even as the Son had said “Lo, the volumes of the books were written of Me. I have come to do your will oh God. And by that one act, He took away the first (old covenant) to establish the second”. Meaning the Old Testament culture is irrelevant and that the the world is operating just fine as “the wheat and the tares mature together”. They can both get their nutrients from the same source being scripture.

This should clue you in as to who the “ill intended” seekers are? End timers. That is not the focus desired by its Author. Does this seem far fetched? Go and look. There is not one scripture that uses the phrase “second coming”. That is the focus we were warned of , saying “ the evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ Because they have to see to believe. What does that have to do with faith? (Hebrews 11)

So if you are not seeking the purpose of the Authors intent, it is an unauthorized ill-intended application of their word, in this case Gods. His word is taken out of context, hence the analogy of the two edged sword that Gods word is meant to “discern between the thoughts and intents of the heart.

And like the spies with Rehab who were sent out another way? Because they were “ill intended”, meaning looking for the wrong things.

The Failure of All The Old Covenant.

And as a side note, the True God, who is the God of scripture is NOT a God of war for the same reason so that those who use scripture for wars, genocides and holocausts, or to get permission to kill others like the modern Jews do? They are more wayward then the Jews of old who were given up to their own demise of temple and Jerusalem worship. That’s why they were destroyed “till not one stone shall be left upon another” to become unrecognizable. Why? Well first because the punishment must fit the crime and their city with its presentations and entanglements were blasphemous, so God did a forever annihilation on them to detour any other attempt to try to re-create it. Because those Jews just could not and would not agree with nor understand these truths and principals in scripture. Even like Christ spoke at the Sermon on The Mount “The Kingdom of Heaven is like…” They were all only analogies. “Is like”?

That is what is meant by calling them “parables”. Sounds like, looks like but not really like. And to further compound this point, it was at The Sermon on the mount where Christ taught to “turn the other cheek” and to go the extra mile to settle a dispute, unlike the war mongers in the impostor Jerusalem of today. Because in truth, “the weapons of our warfare are not carnal (tanks, guns and bombs) but mighty through God for pulling down strongholds (mindsets and contracts), 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, (yes, an invisible, spiritual war) bringing every thought into captivity to (ensure our) obedience to Christ, 6 and being ready to punish (with the sword of the spirit) all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.”

And to punish or avenge has to do with matters of conscience and arguments has to do with words and mindsets which quite likely has an intended association with the word as “sword of the spirit”, or s-word as being analogous too. As “pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing” that competes with God as God in our hearts and the spirit of our minds, and not some silly plot on an earth. For where was His throne before He created? Right where it still and will always be.

What does the sword of word have to do with worldly wars? We are taught “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled;? Why? Because of fake news! (for more on fake news, read Isaiah chapter 8. You are not suppose to use the world news)

Part 2.

Understanding this may help you reconcile with the bloody sacrifices of the Old Covenant era as analogies having to do with our hidden parts like our soul, our heart and our thinking. It is here that is the correct application of those bloody sacrifices. They are the analogies and not the bloody gory stuff you see from only the surface. And if you want to see the anger of God for the Jews using the sacrifices without any change of heart, as if those pleased God, read the first chapter of Isaiah to set the record straight. Here is a portion of that speech where God says “To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me?” Says the Yahovah. “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[a] sacrifices; Incense is an abomination to Me. The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies— I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.


He does not now, nor did He ever take delight in any bloodshed accept to retribution those who do. And as far as God not liking their feasts, you can also add to that list ALL the Pagan holidays that have infiltrated the faith even today. And remember, we were instructed to content for the faith once and for all delivered to the saints”. Because of the long slow drawn out process of deception.

Today’s Jews.

It is really rather fascinating that a modern day rendition of another Jerusalem like of old of the time of Christ, is being presented in the last era of the analogous Kingdom of Israel and Jerusalem of the Jews from the time of Christ. That they seek to return to that as if that Jerusalem was Gods, good, acceptable and perfect will? For them today to militarize their attempt to work for God by literally conducting war and genocide for this cause? That they wage war and kill to do so? For the gospel of peace? Really?? Blasphemy!

It is really quite evident that they do not know the Savior because they seek to save their Jerusalem  to re-implement that bastardized version like the city of God called Jerusalem back then, meant to be the city of peace. This is an inversion of the Gospel and evidence of the Gospel turned upside down back to what they were back then before it was said “till not one stone shall be left upon another” was the promise from the Real Christ, the saving one. As we were warned of a coming time “with all lying signs and wonders if possible to deceive the Elect”? Is just the reimplementation of the old. It is that clear. Better check your status!

The Gospel of Peace

The word “Salem” in Hebrew means peace, and Jeru-Salem means city of peace. But look at what they are doing in Jeru-salem today? Not my Jeru-salem, not my Gods Jeru-salem, not the Gospel of The Christs Jerusalem. He is the one who destroyed that Jerusalem in His day, because of their wayward ways.

The name the Palestine’s had for the place that is now called Jerusalem was “Al-Quds” and means “The Holy Place”, and it was called that until the modern “Jews” went in by war less then a hundred years ago and started changing things. Look what they are doing now! This is murder. This is NOT the work of the Creator God, or sanctioned by the Redeemer God. “For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son, to save? Do these two fit together those of the world. He did NOT save the Jews. If God was that unhappy with Al Quds, He could just do another destruction like with He did with Jerusalem. That is what He did to the Jerusalem of Old Testament times. Yes, God did that. That is why scripture called the last Law era Jerusalem “the great city which spiritually is called Sodom, where also our Lord was crucified. Because they were that wayward too. To restore that today as the modern Jews portend to do? Why would anyone who knows the Author of scripture believe any of what is being presented today?

This is a litmus test for the coming destruction. If you are behind this or supporting it in any way, you have chosen the side of the judgment from the Almighty God who settles His own disputes. He doesn’t need a modern jew or their useful idiots (Americans) to carry His banner and promote His cause. It is not His banner or His cause that is taking place over there today. God is NOT depending on them to do this! This is a total inversion of the gospel for another gospel to kill. And it is not competing in benefits, because all who associate in this and with this are slated for damnation. This is a separation process between sheep and goats” And Jews are rearing their ugly heads like the ugly goats they are.

Yes the God of Love Patience and Salvation has an end. And when the last time He made such an end was with the Christ era Jerusalem because it forsook its counterpart it was to re-present. The City of Peace! We understand because we “know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. Yes, because we say to them (the Jews of today) “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do (as is evedent by the non-stop war footage). He was a murderer from the beginning, As these are carrying out murders!!

They have been exposed and YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. This is to separate the wheat from the tares, the goats from the sheep and the faithful from the disingenuous and confused to get right or left. Choose you this day!

As Peter said “it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them(and change the gospel of God to war). 22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”So too, these people return to their old reactions from their fallen instincts.

And we will go even go further and say, it would be better off to be judged in the same fashion of the Old expired Testament city of Jersalem that was destroyed because of those Jews “till not one stone was left upon another” for their blasphemies, then to be judged by what they are doing again today because you’ve got the scriptures and historical facts to correct you and you are so blinded as to use the gospel, meaning “the good news” for war. To support the modern day Jews who have no real connection to anything scriptural that they didn’t make up or steel. That one is expired (another word for dead). So as then there go the Jews again, “Fill up the measure of your fathers guilt? Yes, Go to Hell! Because that is where you are headed too if you are a Christian in support of the Jewish movement today.

We say that “The Kingdom of God is still at hand” in the way Christ intended when He first spoke it as other than the one that was destroyed back then. And we have been warned of “a coming which is according to Satan with all lying signs and wonders”. Can you see this?

Yes, to take expired scriptures and try to reinvigorate the ones that were condemned, will end up with the same results. Especially when it is questionable as that what they call Jerusalem today with the “wailing wall”? Wasn’t Jerusalem of old destroyed till “not one stone was left upon another. That the only buildings that were left from back then were the barracks for the armies of Titus? What they are trying to present as Jerusalem today, it is not and cannot be because there are stones left upon another.

The main point of all this is that Christ came preaching that “The Kingdom of God is at hand” as something other than their Jerusalem. That “the gospel is preached and all are entering”, had nothing to do with an earthen Jerusalem. Even as Christ answered during His interrogation by the Jews about Him being King. And He said “You have correctly called Me King, however My Kingdom is not from here (of your bricks or buildings) or I would fight. However, My Kingdom is not from here”, to mean DO NOT MAKE AN EARTHEN COMPARISON .So what do you suppose they are re-presenting today?? The LIE with all signs and wonders to deceive.

Checkmate.

The Kingdom of God is still at hand for a short while. If you are waiting for another Christ to rescue? You are rejecting the One who already did that. There is only One saving for humanity and that is the one of the cross.

Amen!

The Promise to Abraham was Stolen

The Promise to Abraham was Stolen.

Genesis 17.4-6 God told Abraham “4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. 5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. 6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and (plural) kings shall come out of thee.

If you remember, God had previously made a promise to “Abram” before he was “Abraham”, that he would father the twelve tribes of Israel. Meaning that this promise to Abraham of “many nations, supercedes the promise to “Abram” as the replacement. This has to do with the “time of the gentiles as superceding the Old Covenant era.

Yes the promise to Abraham, that He would father many nations (meant the Gentiles) has been stolen by the Jews because “many nations is translated else where in scripture is the Gentile nations. Not that it has been stolen from God or Abraham but from us who are of the Gentiles, meaning from all nations that scripture refers to and not the Jews whose time was fulfilled along with the old testament with all it’s offices, persons, places, and holidays. That we are the heirs to the promises of Abraham that he would be the Father of many nations as a portrayal having to do with the New Will And Testament time of the gentiles. As Christ instructed the Apostles to leave Jerusalem before its destruction. To “go ye therefore to all the nations teaching and preaching all that I have commanded you”as having to do with the New, after the expiration of the Old Law articles, persons, place and Old Covenant associated with that bygone era of old with their expired relics that did not work any way.

Because of this, the modern Jews are  irrelevant because even if they were bonifide they would at best be qualified as being just another member nation with equal footing and status as all of the  other gentile nations as being one of them and among them. However they set themselves outside and above the rest of the gentiles and propose to revert back to the days of old with another earthen Jerusalem in competition with “Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all (meaning Gentiles of all the nations) according to The Book of Galatians in the Bible.

This is why Christ commended those who knew “the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Because the Jews who claim to be of Judah, one of the twelve tribes associated with the promise to Abram and NOT Abraham. Those Jews are from the last generation of Old Covenant persons that expired with it.

So then to go back to the Old Covenant is a blasphemous rejection of the new and spits in the face of the Christ of the cross who bore the judgment for our discrepancies, that all of the Old Testament law sacrifices looked forward to as their replacement, so that we in turn are restored to what Adam and Eve lost thereby giving us another chance to discover who we are, not as slaves to a Lord under Law, but by which we call out “Abba (the root word for Abraham) Father” as being inducted into the family of God through the death and blood of His Son that all the law and the prophets with all their feasts and procedures only dimly alluded to and prophesied about. That is the reason that they are fulfilled and expired as historical relics that only anticipated the new. The Old Law and the prophets (meant to speak of coming things) showed us how NOT to do it. If the Old Covenant had worked, it would NOT be old. And if the New was just a reversion to the Old or a temporary injunction for another it is NOT new.

Their are only two covenants and Abram represents the Old and Abraham represents the new with God saying “5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

Thereby equating a name change with a purpose change!

Now we have “a New and Living way to the Father” . And father in the Hebrew scriptures is “Abba”, Hence Ab-raham. We see Christ calling His Father “Abba“, And Paul taught the difference between Old and New covenants by saying “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again (meaning the Old Covenant mandates) to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. This is something the Old Covenant could not deliver.

Who also taught “And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

Referring to the fulfillment of the promises. Even as scripture says “for all of the promises of God are yes and amen in Christ”, for those who are “in Christ” are in the New Covenant that replaced the Old.

Just like the Only Begotten of The Father. Then we in turn are born into the family of God by confession and profession, by accepting Christs sacrificial payment for our differences and being rewarded and sanctified by receiving the Holy Spirit of promise through baptism. Not the ceremony so much but more so the understanding and accepting it. That just as Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit and became dead to the things of God “for in that day you shall surely die”. They died because the breath of God left them and they experienced a spiritual death by the Holy Spirits departure. For God had breathed, not oxygen but His spirit into Adam and he became a living being as being alive to God. When Adam died, it was a spiritual death for the Spirit had left. And to be brought in again is our rebirth. Us being “born again, and borne from above. (John chapter 3)

So when we receive Gods Holy Spirit, this is what qualifies us as being “born again” and “born from above” and “born of the spirit”. And our proof is our understanding of these truths and having the ability to be able to convey them.

With these truths, Hopefully you can see here the difference between Abram, and Abraham as being names that portray in picture form, to different between  the covenants, New and Old. The new obviously has to do with the Holy Spirit associated with baptism. Of which when John baptized Christ, he said “and I beheld the spirit of God descend upon Him like a dove”. And with this sign, John the Baptist, as the last and greatest prophet knew his time was over, and the law era was over because he then said “and He must increase and I must decrease”. Therefore verifying our claim.

The Modern Day Deceivers.

For you see we are in a time where some people who claim to be Jews pretend to be Gods people and the heirs of the promises of Abraham but they are not. God had earlier given a promise to Abram, that He would make Abram a great nation, singular. But when Abram had his name changed to Abraham and Sarai to Sarah, It was because there was a change of character. Therefore there was a name change also.

In scripture a name is NOT selected because it is pretty or sounds nice but because of the persons ingredients, and Abraham had reached a greater stature in the eyes of God. In essence Abram portrayed in picture form the Old Covenant era, being promised 12 tribes, whereas Abraham, Abrams  replacement portrayed the time of the Gentiles, meaning from all the nations of the world. And Abraham replaced Abram.

That is why in the book of the Revelation Christ said “17 Those that hath an ear, let them hear what the Spirit saith unto the called out ones; To them that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give them a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no one knoweth saving the one that receiveth it.  Meaning that some are called another name by their Heavenly Father then the name they were born with like we just showed you with Abraham and Sarah. And Abram had his name changed that correlated with him being not only the father of one nation as was Abram, but “many nations to Abraham, to mean multiple nations. This correlates with the old and new covenants. That the New Covenant for all nations, does not elevate one nation above another as the modern Jews do of themselves. That is a reversion of covenants as if God needed to repent for removing them.

If you remember, it was the 12 disciples turned prophets who were commissioned to preach the Gospel to ALL the nations to the ends of the earth, as they were instructed  “do not leave that Jerusalem until you have heard from me”. With the Holy Spirit swooshing in, (remember , Adam lost the Spirit, Christ reclaimed it for us, and the Apostles were commissioned to commence with the introduction of the Holy Spirit through Baptism. Then their were people from every language and nation glorifying God, showing us that the Old Covenant reached its intended goal and conclusion. Hence “expired” like a moldy product on a shelf to be discarded.

AFTER the expiration of the Old Covenant era and its nation (singular) of whom “Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”

as having to do with the expiration, the dismantling and destruction of the Jews kingdom to make way for a New King, Kingdom and a new people called Christians from “every tribe language and tongue. And this testimony began where the Old Covenant ended on the day of Pentecost where people spoke in tongues from every nation

As we quote from the book of The Acts of the Apostles who replaced the prophets saying “36 Therefore let all the house of Israel (to include Jews) know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord (meaning to serve this one as your replacement ) and Christ. 37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent (from your old covenant failures), and be baptized every one of you (of all tribes including Jews) in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins (something the law era could not do), and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call (from all the peoples of the world). 40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this (old testament law) untoward generation.

Meaning that Jerusalem and those Jews. They were the final trusties of that Old(expired) Testament, that Christ called “a brood of vipers, sons of Satan doing the deed s of their father”  Showing us that that by the time judgment of the Old Testament era was over. That Jerusalem would be destroyed beyond recognition. To never be able to be rebuilt again. And further proof of that is that, that Jerusalem was built on a fault line whereby an earthquake destroyed part of the city where the temple stood when Christs body gave up His spirit on the cross as seen here. 50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. 51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,

And further proof that that was the time of the beginning of the end of That Jerusalem, of that Old Covenant kingdom and era, was by witnessing a resurrection as seen here. “and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

 

that was a promise realized only for the New Covenant that was a new reality put into effect with the sacrificial death of the Savior who implemented The New Covenant by being “Savior of the world, (the word “world” in that text should’ve been transcribed “aeons” meaning “ages” to the intent that a new age started different from the old.

And that is the point and why Christ said not to mix the new wine in old wine skins and visa versa. The only lapse of coverage was while Christ “became flesh and dwelt among us” to then have Him say “I return to the Father and you see Me no more” in that fashion of the flesh.

This is the reason Christ was first to preach that “The Kingdom of God is at hand” as being different then the one they were accustomed to. And for that to be true, there had to be a resurrection because that was part and parcel of the coming  of a new age different from the old.

This is how Matthew described this event 27. 52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went out and appeared to many.

And many remain alive today

To make the point irrefutably clear that we entered a new era for the “resurrection was the symbol given and the coveted product the Old anticipated.

To then have the 12 disciples turned Apostles, a higher office than prophets. To be told to “go ye therefor to the ends of the earth (meaning all the nations called “the Gentiles” teaching and preaching all that I have commanded you”, as proof that the time of the salvation message to the whole world in their localities, had come. They were instructed not to depart from Jerusalem until the promise that you have heard from Me (about the comforter helper to take Christs place). And the book of Acts gives the account of the disciples being in the upper room, to have the Holy Spirit sweep through and have the glories of God being spoken in all languages and dialects proving that the Promise to Abraham would come into effect as something different and not complimentary of the Old, but its replacement had come, being the visible in exchange for the invisible. Even as Christ said “you have heard it said of old (meaning the Law), but I say to you… defining a demarcation line between the covenants. The Old Testament verses the New Covenant. And just like old wine in a new skin spoils, and new wine in an old skin breaks, so too the Old and New covenant kingdoms have commonalities only in contrast of each other, and why the Old Covenant Law was called the Law of Death, in contrast to the New because they are THAT different.

And with Christs death to cover that payment rendered for us, this gives us permission to participate in the true gospel of salvation to the gentiles given way back when to father Abraham who was promised to be the father of many nations. So we knew that the Law Covenant given to Moses was weak and frail because it was continuously broken over and over. Which was the reason for the continual, non-stop animal sacrifices.

But even as with the departure of Hagar from Sarai become Sarah. Hagar had to be out of the picture for Sarah to come into fruition in the same way that we have to disregard the demands of the law as having had its fulfillment “in Christ”. It was expired, rendered weak and  ineffective, for “how many righteous were there? None, no not one!!”

So any other rendition of the Old Law era and its kingdom could only come from an opposing influence and why we are commended by God saying  “for you know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

This is why we can convey this with such clarity and power.

In truth that scripture should read that “I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Gods people and call themselves Jews are not, but are of the synagogue/church of Satan”, because Gods people have their roots and their heritage in the promises and person of Abraham, picturing our Heavenly Abba. As it was written of Him that he would be the father of many nations and nations is a word synonymous with gentiles.

The book of Galatians teaches that Abraham had two wives. The first one was Hagar who represented the Old Testament Law culture, in contrast with Sarah as the Mother of the promises that supersede and replace the Old, Law covenant concepts that only brings about death, as we quote from Galatians “4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the (Old Covenant) law, 5 to redeem those who were under that law (and put it out of business and shut it down), for us to receive the adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” (and not master or Lord (which are Old Covenant understanding of God whom we call Father) 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave (under Old Testament Laws or Prophecies) but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ

(of The New Covenant founded on better promises. 

 

4 Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, 2 but is under (tutors called) guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. 4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, for us to receive the adoption as sons

(of the New Covenant founded on better promises)

6 And because you are God’s children, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave (subject to old covenant law but an offspring, and if an offspring, then an heir of God through Christ (because of the cross and demarcation line between the old and new).  8 But then, indeed, when you did not know God, you served those which by nature are not gods. 9 But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements (associated with Old Covenant Law), to which you desire again to be in bondage? 10 You observe days and months and seasons and years. 11 I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain. 12 Brethren, I urge you to become like me, for I became like you. You have not injured me at all. 13 You know that because of physical infirmity I preached the gospel to you at the first. 14 And my trial which was in my flesh you did not despise or reject, but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. 15 What then was the blessing you enjoyed? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me. 16 Do I now become your enemy because I tell you the truth? 17 They (the jews) zealously court you, but for no good; yes, they want to exclude you (from the New), that you may be zealous for them. 18 But it is good to be zealous in a good thing always, and not only when I am present with you. 19 My little children (seeing themselves connected to the Old Covenant), for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you, 20 I would like to be present with you now and to change my tone; for I have doubts about you. (Think of yourself here and the Two Covenants) 21 Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, 24 which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage (called the Old Covenant Law), which is Hagar— 25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children— 26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. 27 For it is written: “Rejoice, O barren, You who do not bear! Break forth and shout, You who are not in labor! For the desolate has many more children Than she who has a husband.” 28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. 29 But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. 30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the (earthen Jerusalem ) bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. (You cannot have Heavenly Jerusalem while you are focused on the one on earth)” 31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman (earthen Jerusalem )but of the free.

In this way, The kingdom of God is at hand, but it is not the one talked about in the daily news.

You have Heard it Was Said of Old…

You have Heard it Was Said of Old…

These were some of the words first spoken from The Christ, after He had come from His Baptism by His cousin John, whereby John beheld the spirit of God descend like a dove to remain upon Him. This was the man called Jesus who proved He was the Christ through these series of events.

You see He had to undo the curse from Eden where Adam became dead to the things of God by losing the Holy Spirit. When God breathed into Adam and he became a living being”, that had nothing to do with the oxygen in his lungs, but the breath of God, He calls His Holy spirit This is The Breath of God, His companion/counterpart of His Son and our Savior called The Christ and Adams replacement being “a life giving spirit” as explained here by Paul the Apostle.

42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam (Christ) was made a quickening spirit. Read full chapter

Even as John the Baptist testified of Jesus that “ when He (Christ) was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he (John) saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

This is what qualified Christ to be Adams replacement of putting all who believe in Him, back on track as practicing images of the Living God  who are “working out their own salvation with fear and trmbling”.

This is the one time reversal of the fall, even as the voice of Heaven said “the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him (Christ), and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

Of being the new creature we become like after we receive the Holy Spirit too.

And again”And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun (think about Pauls encounter with Christ as “the Bright light form Heaven) , and his raiment was white as the light. 3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with Him. 4 Then Peter said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; Him, shall you hear (and focus on Him and NOT Moshe or Elijah). 6 And when the disciples heard this, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

That until Christ as a man, was baptized with the Holy Spirit, that the Law would remain in place as a holding mechanism “till faith comes”. But “after faith has come” the law was done away with and put off like a filthy rag. That “the law was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; 

And “24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, for us to be justified by faith. 25 But after faith is come (meaning acquired), we are no longer under the schoolmaster (called Law). 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ (and not slaves serving masters and lords). 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is no longer Jew nor Greek (classifications), nor is there bond nor free, nor male  or female: for ye are all one (and co-equals) in Christ”

And as Peter describes our gift saying “According as his (Christs) divine power hath given unto us everything that pertains to life and godliness (of living life on a godlike fashion the way God lives), through the knowledge of (knowing) Him who hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby we  were given exceedingly great and precious promises: that through these, you are already partakers of the divine nature, having (already) escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust (of following the needs of your old lower nature). Providing that you use these provisions in the “renewing of your minds).

Showing us that Christ was the un-doing and the expiration of the Law because the law becomes irrelevant being “expired” because of the New Covenant, Will and Testament” associated with new like in the Spirit, for the heirs to have access to their inheritance, being us  who are adopted into the family of God through the same means being our Baptism and our cross over from death to life as was dimly portrayed at the Red Sea with Moses whereby at that collective baptism, the angel of death passed over, then to have all their enemies drowned in the Red Sea for them to go on to acquire and apply the provisions of the gift of God in Christ as pictured in Israel the people and not in the land of Israel.

As it was said in the beginning “in that day you shall surely die”, mankind became dead and unresponsive to the things of God. Now for those who associate with Christ, “And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam (Christ) was made a life giving spirit.

Do NOT insult the giver of this “life in the Spirit by reverting to old forms of religion that are powerless to save and an insult to the giver of life who paid such a high price for you. ”

It was Christ, the Son of God and son of man, who became the prototype and manufacturer of a new species in that we willnever die. Even as Christ said “And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? And we hope you say yes because to believe in what is presented here is the pre-qualifier of your new citizenship in the New Creation.

Not that the new creation is new in the sense of just being made. For it is new in the sense that it is eternally new and never gets old, and it just may be made new for you, but Adam and Eve had it from the beginning and why 1 John says “Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

Here is a high Point we would like to make.

When Christ came to put in place the replacement of the Old called The New Testament/Covenant, He also had to expire the whole Law era interlude. And He started by saying “You have heard that it was said to those of old…”

The ironic thing is was the institution of the New through the blood of Christ that made the Old Covenant old and expired as a testimony on how NOT to do it. Christ was the first One to call the Law era old because He was the Law eras completion first as the first one who could keep it because the Law is a picture of Him. And because the New came, the Law some call the Ten Commandments, and the laws of Moses, should now only be referred to as Old, because they had lost their relevance with the one time coming of Christ. There is no other coming or another saving of any sort but to grapple with this by faith, one on one with God by yourself. That the whole law era interlude anticipated this. Even as it is said of the Old. The Coming of Christ did this!

 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace (apart from the Law) through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: for Him to be just, and the justifier of those who believeth in Christ. Read full chapter

 

SO for us having our do-over as a result of this New Union to replace the Old, we have another heritage other then the death that comes upon all of humanity of the old law order. And to ensure that all the old order would reach the obvious conclusion of breeding death, the Law era was given for “Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made;

Meaning that  “till the seed should come to whom the promise was made;

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

Being The Savior and Christ some call Jesus all meaning the same thing. With His arival on the seen as the last sacrifice, the law era interlude was over. If this was NOT true, Christ in no way could say “The Kingdom of God is at hand”, nor could He forgive sin because He became the payment for it and where payment has been rendered there is no longer a reckoning or an accounting of sin because keeping track of it was only a book keeping method. Even as Paul taught to Rome, for us to “reckon it to be so”,

These are things already given and appropriated, to be forgotten and lost, to have many if not most, to go back to reckoning and accounting their sin as though there is more that needs to be done but NO. That would be double jeopardy. Christ does not have to come back but for one thing. As 2 Peter states “10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall beburned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

 

And just as a quick note here. Sin is singular. Meaning that when we receive the gift of salvation, our sins (plural) are forgiven in that there is no longer a tracking method and no accuser. The sin nature has been covered in two senses. One is by way of payment rendered and two by way of covering it up to make it disappear for “Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) 3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

The Kingdom of God is at hand in this way still.

Amen

The Resurrection Made Simple The Destruction Made Clear


Posted on January 7, 2024 by ADMIN

The Translators of scripture were given something to translate that they did not understand as a collective whole. Meaning that there had to be a consensus. The original writings they transcribed from did not have the ambiguities that English has. Words like, could, should, might maybe and, in order to, are all used at the translators discretion. Meaning that if they had not received a promise of God as touching the invisible, then they quite obviously being carnal, must see to believe, and thereby nullify the need to believe as being the only necessity for a thing to be true. In essence they inserted ambiguities to convey falsities as though the promises from God were meant to be fulfilled later at another carnal event called a second coming as opposed to implementing when you have the faith to believe and are doing so in the right progression. And because the faith is progressive, some things have to be received in a certain order. For this we are called to press in to attain, to reach out and lay hold of why Christ laid hold of us”.

The loss and mis-conveyance of this truth became the birth of the now popular and pervasive idea that Christ must come again in a “second coming” scenario because they have to see a thing to believe. But “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” For they shall receive the thing that is said. Because it does not take any faith to believe a thing you can physically prove. And so they sit in the pews and wait week after week, and say in their hearts like the wicked servant who said “my Lord delays His coming”. But Gods hands are stretched out still.

And The New Will and Testament translators bludgeoned the texts with this kind of a physical sense that becomes nonsense when it comes to the things of God because in truth “one must first believe that He is, and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him”. And since our Heavenly Father rewards us with new portions of Himself each time we allow, then why would we reduce his word to the expectation’s by those who have no understanding of the invisible? Because “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence that there are things not seen’. It is by these that the elders gain repor with the Father. As touching the invisible.

We are talking about real encounters by the invisible God and His Son who said “I will never leave you or forsake you”, but never the less most still sit and wait for another savior. And they call it a second coming” a saying that is NOT found in the scriptures. And because Gods things don’t take on a form in creation, if we expect it to, we have false expectations of what God and His Word are about.

His words are about our transformation and our transfiguration to be like Him. To be spitting images of the Father, and not the other way around. As a matter of truth, the gospel itself becomes useless in a people that expect spectacular events to validate their faith.

And more dangerous than that is a people who have been so inverted from the faith to believe in “just the facts”. This is the generation that we are warned of who would expect a second coming Jesus in the form of a man as the focal point of their  gospel “a coming one who is according to Satan with all lying signs and wonders if possible to deceive the Elect”. It is because that (maybe even today with us) they take all the scriptures that define Gods “Heavenly places”, to include the parables and Old Testament word pictures meant to take them into the Eternal, and they reinterpret them to be manifest again on earth as if that was ever Gods intention or the purpose of the gospel. Because if it is, and God wants a Jerusalem on Earth with the modern day Jews, (a name that has no true association with the original language). Then God would have to apologize to and make reparations to the Jews of old for expiring, putting them out of business, destroying their livelihood, subjecting their mothers to eat their babies, to then have “not one stone to be left upon another that shall not be rummaged through by the armies of Titus first, and bring them to the point of extinction, because that is what the testimonies said happened to that era. A genocide. Even as The Christ and Savior cried saying “41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city (That Jerusalem), and wept over it, 42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. 45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; 46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. 47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to kill him, Read full chapter

And from Matthew “ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! 38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. Which indicates an extinction.

And the Jews of today are trying to rebuild that? Blasphemy! They are not suppose to as we are taught from Leviticus 26. “27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; 28 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. 29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. 30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you. 31 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours. 32 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it. 33 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. 34 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies’ land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths. 35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it. 36 And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth. 37 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies. 38 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them. 40 If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me; 41 And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity: 42 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. 43 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.

How is it that now again in our day that it is okay for a people to reclaim that land to renew it as it was?? That is so far off the mark from “Gods good, acceptable and perfect will, that here today they’ve aligned themselves with the thief of the things of God because Gods things are Heavenly. They are Eternal. They are indestructible, for this we know because “we look to the city whose builder and maker is God”. And to tie this back to the beginning with Moshe, God said “when you build a temple unto Me, the minute that you have used tools upon it? You have violated it. Do NOT associate Me with such”. But nevertheless the people world wide are glorying over that monstrous rendition of the last blasphemy. All the while they think God is behind it. But as it is written “when you see the abomination spoken by Daniel the prophet in the Holy place? Let those who read understand”. And the understanding is that if you see, and since we do see a modern day expectation, then you know the time is ripe for the judgment from God.

If this doesn’t strike you as blasphemous, then think about this. If the gospel was given for our benefit for godliness, and we then in turn, turn it around to make God a man again. Wouldn’t that be a problem. Because if that was Gods plan, He wouldn’t have to wait. But because the change and the transformation belongs to us? That is what He is waiting for, the final number to transform. But if we are found waiting and watching without our own transfiguration, then for what purpose were you given this life?? Because if you are tracking the scary stuff in the news, you know what? You my friend are being carried away by the flood of lies by the mouth of the dragon referred to in the Revelation. And if you are familiar with the foolish virgins who went to the world for their wedding feast preparations and were left outside with the damned? It is because they got caught up in the visuals and DID NOT CHANGE! The Gospel had no lasting effect but only temporary entertainment. And just as condemning is that their Jesus had to come as a man again because they were let unchanged.

Do you really think the gospel is about Christ putting on the flesh again?

Scripture is given for our transition, our transfiguration and our metamorphism. Christ became a man once and blazed for us a trail to the Father. Him now calling us to Himself, even as Paul said “therefore I plead with you by the mercies of God, BE YE RECONCILED to the Father. For He made Him who knew no sin, to become our sin, for us to (in turn) become His righteousness in us”. That is our transfiguration in the here and now that we are accountable for and what scripture is given for. If you throw all of your end time fascinations away and walk away with this one truth you will be okay. But if not? If you go back to your addiction of end times fascinations? BEWARE! For God may not spare you either but give you the tribulation you have been glued to because you become your dominant focus. And since God has given us everything that pertains to life and god-like-ness through the knowledge of Him who calls us to His Glory and virtue”? If you got NOT these, you’ve got nothing but the burning sensation of lost opportunities. Woe are they! For the time is upon us when “10 And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand. 11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him [a]be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”

With that,now maybe we can be as serious about our transfiguration as is our Heavenly Father, and NOT be so focused on making scripture palatable to the carnal mind having been translated by such. Let us go up from here.

PAUL TEACHES ABOUT THE RESURRECTED CHRIST HE SAW WHO WAS A BRIGHT LIGHT FROM HEAVEN, NOT A MAN!

Seeing Christ AFTER the boulder was rolled away from the tomb is the qualifier to be an apostle as being greater then The Old Will and Testament  prophets. Even as we were told speaking of John the Baptist being the greatest of All the prophets “Those in the Kingdom are greater than he”. Such are we. Here is the qualifier.

1 CORINTHIANS 15.1  Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, (it did not come by man nor was it taught by man but by revelation of Jesus Christ) by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain (if you need to see to believe). 

For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by [a]Cephas, then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once (Matthew 27.52), of whom the greater part remain to the present (in that day), but some have [b]fallen asleep. After that (His resurection) He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born in my own time. (But these who saw Him, saw Him differently then those before or this demarcation line would not be described here because only people away from the event of the crusifixion did not see the pre-crusified Christ. Only these saw Christ in His post incarnate form of being a resurrected man, along with the 500.

For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 11 Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

The Risen Christ, Our Hope

12 Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ cannot be risen. 14 And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty (and unchanged) and your faith is also empty (and still looking for a saving to rescue you from a dying world). 15 Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up—if in fact the dead do not rise. 16 For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. 17 And if Christ did not rise, then your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! 18 Then also those who have [c]fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable. 

The Last Enemy Destroyed

20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have [d]fallen asleep. 21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all are made alive. 23 But each one in there own order (not first and second coming only): Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His (successive) comings. 24 Then afterwards comes the closing of the invitation, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. 26 The last enemy death is destroyed. 27 For “He has put all things under His feet.” But when He says “all things are put under Him,it isevident that  (only) He who put all things under Him is excepted. 28 Now all things are made subject to Him, and the Son Himself is also subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all. (It is in Him we live and dwell and have our being).

Effects of Denying the Resurrection

29 Otherwise, what will they do who are baptized to be dead (as you vowed to be buried in tge likeness of His death to be raised in the likeness of His resurrection as yo promised (vowed) at your own baptism in your own order when you were able to believe unless your vows are broken promises you made to resmain waiting for another resurrection that is not by faith for another Jesus of another resurrection), if the dead do not rise at all? Why then are they baptized for the dead? (To be on hold for another saving the cross couldn’t deliver on?)30 And why do we stand in [e]jeopardy every hour? 31 

I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I recon my old self dead daily. 32 If, in the manner of men, I have fought with beasts at Ephesus (to profess and defend this newness of life), what advantage is it to me? If the dead do not rise, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die (anyway)!”

33 Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.” 34 Awake to (the) righteousness (of God by faith), and do not sin (disbeleive)for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

A Glorious Body

35 But now you may say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?” 36 Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. 37 And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain—perhaps wheat or some other grain. 38 But God gives it a body (completely different from the one you use to interact with on earth) as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.

39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind [f]of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, andanother of birds.

40 There are also [g]celestial bodies and [h]terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for onestar differs from another star in glory.

42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption (at your baptism acknowledgement). 43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. 44 It is sown a natural body, IT IS RAISED A SPIRITUAL BODY! (To further assist you here, read John 3. …

There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45 And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam (Christ verse…) already became a life-giving spirit.

46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the earth, made[i] of dust; the second Man is just like the Lord from heaven (that was seen by Peter first, then the 12, then the 500, then Paul as one born in his own order). 48 As was the [k]man of dust, so also are those who are madeof dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the man-of dust, we also bear the image of the heavenly Man. (Old things have passed away, behold all things have become new and all things are from God” and not earth)

Our Final Victory

50 Now this I say brethren (at this stage of my faith), that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I tell you a [m]mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” (For this reason we profess that we have passed from death to life as vowed at baptism, and we press on in this main feature of faith to grow in it till it consumes our carnal nature  not being a physical body but a body of beliefs of weaknesses and fears we’ve adopted from fallen Adam. To cast these aside to associate wuth tge last Adam. Flesh Nd blood does not inherit tge Kingdom? Correct, but tge re-spirited mind of faith does. And even Adam in the garden was made resurrected because he could not fall if he was not made upright. And that is all resurrection is, is being stood back up from the fall. It is the reversal of the fall, hence resurrected and raised back up to “that which is from the beginning”. 

55 “O[n] Death, where is your sting?
O Hades, where is your victory?”

56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (Because the Law was given to make sin exceedingly sinful, so that you being good and dead from the law, being delivered from that law by the deliverance of Christ, for you to walk in newness of life now like Adam had. This is a restoration to that which was from the beginning. That is your do over, you born again.

58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. (Nor are you on hold or in limbo left waiting for another Jesus as though the cross was insufficient.

The Art of Sowing and Reaping.

The art of sowing and reaping
Paul spoke about sowing and reaping in 1st Corinthians 15 for something to be sown or buried corruptible raised incorruptible. First is the carnal body, second is the body of beliefs in the spirit. It is these little jewels that we find in Scripture that we sow in our hearts that we process in the spirit of our mind to be raised in understanding. This is our resurrection that is NOT a one-time event of the body dying to be lifted back up or raised back up at some end ties event, for it shall return to the dust. Even as we see here in 2 Corinthians 6 “ by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by [a]sincere love, 7 by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 8 by honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true; 9 as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and yet not killed; 10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
So this is us putting on our new garments much like Joseph’s coat of many colors or like Isaiah “shake yourself from the dust of the earth and put on your beautiful garments. Because God is eternal invisible and immortal, it is as we put on these things displayed for us by word, we become more God-like or godly. So, when Paul says that “since we then be risen with Christ (as a foregone conclusion), which if you believe that scripture, you are too. Then the resurrection is a foregone conclusion. Now that we are risen, we should seek the things that are above” to acquire and put on in the loins of your mind as if to dress your thoughts where this takes place. These are your new garments. As the New Covenant frequently instructs us to “put on Christ”, lest we be found naked.
It as we look into the law and the prophets and the feast and the ceremonies, that we learn and understand of the invisible attributes of God in the way that he relates to us and our humanity. God is Not going to become a construct of time and matter again.  Oh contrare. We transform, meaning transfigure into Him who “in the begging was the Word. The word was with God and the word was God”, and for us to become His Word, is to become godly, which has nothing to does with piety or religion. This type of renewing is our whole purpose of faith. As for your physical body? It returns to dust.
And from 1 Corinthians 15 “42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44 It is sown a natural body;  IT IS RAISED A SPIRITUAL BODY. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven. 48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. (When the carnal, flesh body has put it on. (GAME CHANGER ALERT!! IF YOU THINK YOUR PHYSICAL BODY HAS TO PHYSICALLY DIE? YOU ARE WRONG!! RE-READ THESE VERSES FROM 1 CORINTHIANS. Then it will be brought to pass 15 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Read full chapter
With “the strength of death being in the Law and of the Law era? And Christ put an end to the law era by bringing in the New Covenant founded on better promises that gives us eternal life while we have our physical processing mechanisms of logic (from logos meaning the “Logos of God”called “the Christ” and savior who did His mighty work at the cross.
Let us clarify. The fall of mankind happened when Adam and Eve had a discourse (a spiritual intercourse) with another that affected a DNA. Not so much of the flesh but a way of thinking. Having a polarity reversal from faith to fear, Adam and Eves way of thinking was turned inside out and upside down. We call this the fall. And much like a bird on a perch to fall while remaining in tact to the thing on which he stood. But now everything was inverted. The result of this is that the harder it tried to get up it was really trying to go down because of an inversion of perception. But this too is just a parable or an analogy because in the real, all the bird would have to do is let go. So this analogy only works if there is no gravity. But never the less, you get the point.
Now to apply this to Adam and Eve. They felt fear for the first time. This became their go to interpretation and motivation, That is why First John teaches that those who fear have not been perfected by (in) love because fear involves torment. Torment is the reward or automatic outcome for that struggle against sin. As Paul said “oh wretched man that I am. Who shall deliver me from the law of sin and death?” Then preaches the saving of Christ. So we can understand that those who operate of the old fallen fear way of thinking, can never rise above their circumstances no matter how hard they try and no matter how hard they try to get help from other sources be they doctors or psychiatrists because fear still exists. You know that faith works because as soon as we quit fighting the man in the mirror by trying to fix what you see. You then realize that your problem was your expectation and outlook based upon experiencing failure. And through repeated failure you became your own worst enemy through your doubts and fears that were the proof of your polarity reversal. Much like with electricity. And much like with travel.  Like the bird flipped on a perch going up found itself to be going down to think that to just try harder it would get better but only gets worse and worse.
 So, we are not stuck in our humanity waiting for more help as the second coming seekers suppose. Our physical body is perfectly capable of experiencing the fullness of the Godhead because Christ who became man, did so to show us how to do it because the first man Adam had it and lost it. Christ showed us the way by the renewing of the mind. Our mind being a greater expanse than the external heavens with the capability to interact fully with the spirit of God, and the word of God of which we call communion.
Communion is to be one with God, to have all things in common to co-mingle with Him. And we do this with His word. And we having confessed out what we could, we now profess as a positive affirmation that “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life (as if Christs bodily death happened to us!)
And God forbid that we again fall short of providing these re-sources.
, “We are a new creation, old things having past away and all things become new in our understanding by sowing and reaping. And the things we have in common with him is him. In this way we are heirs and Joint heirs with Christ. The forever things are unchangeable, always new, never fading. We are te change agents and the change is inside Creation fades. Creation will be burned for the eternal to remain. (2 Peter 3.10 ) Let us be found “in Christ” “clothed and seated in our right mind” like the demon driven man to be re-newed like what we have said, by what we have reaped from the other side of death while the doors are still open.
And Not! We Repeat, NOT at an illusive “second coming” a saying not found once in the scriptures
What can’t be seen with the human eyes can be seen through God’s holy word. And understanding this is the place of our transformation, our Golgotha, which means the place of our skull. 
And from 1 John 3. “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the children of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every one that hath this hope in him purifieth themselves, even as He is pure. 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to (expire and make dead the Law to) take away our sins; and in him is no sin (And we are in Christ). 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. (And we are “In Him” this is true). Read full chapter
We see him as he is, we become like him. We become pure even as He is pure. Pure meaning invisible. That is why John the Apostle in his first epistle said “the world does not know us because it does not know Him. And the part about us the world does not know is the part about him they could not know carnally. They reject the invisible attributes seen in the Son. We accept them and receive them. And it is these invisible attributes that we received that they reject because they want to see Him again with their physical eyes because in the Spirit of their minds, they deny Him.
“No man has seen God at any time but the Son declares Him”. And it is written of the Holy Spirit that “will take what is Mine and manifest it to you”. Yes, but not in a carnal way. Christ said “he who has seen Me has seen the Father”. This thing we are talking about is seen with a different set of eyes and ears than of the composition of time and matter but our new eyes and ears. “To him who has eyes to see and ears to hear” of another nature. LET THEM SEE AND HEAR. So we do.
And the sowing that we do, and the reaping that we do is in our hearts. These things are not planted in dirt. This becomes our Garden of Eden, in the spirit of our hearts and minds that our Heavenly Father is enamored with.
Paul, in his discourse of sowing and reaping in 1 Corinthians 15 used a term “each one in their own order” showing us that it has nothing to do with a collective time called a 2nd coming. Those who wait to transfigure in that way are neutralized and side lined from their growth and don’t understand that we are to “follow those who through faith and patience inherit the promises” is your transfiguration because they may say “look here! Or look there! But nay! Do NOT go after them for “The Kingdom of God in within you.” And for those who think the inheritance is later? They are confused. For it is “the slothful steward who says the Lord delays His coming”.
The Kingdom of God is at hand
