If That Which is From The Beginning Abide in You.

The prophet Ezekiel described a “wheel within a wheel” that gather’s and scatters, dissolving and thrusting out matter and collecting into the middle  an assemble of either, hydrogen and other none material, gaseous substances into One.

This is the purpose of the gospel. Not so much a separation of time frames however it does take time but a separation of elements.

Those who are in the eye of the storm, are those who have been gathered together in Christ. Christ extended an invitation to this timeless place beyond matter as “The Kingdom of God at hand”. And however lofty this may sound or seam to the carnal mind, for this we have it simplified in terms called “The Gospel of Christ the Savior” because He calls us to Himself in the “midst” of the storms of life. This is how “The Kingdom of God” is “at hand” anywhere anytime, because it (He) permeates everything all the time. “For there is nothing hidden from His sight, that all things are opened and exposed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.” And “for that which is flesh is flesh, and that which is Spirit is spirit, you must be born again” (John 3). And “ye must be born from above” and beyond in the spirit of the invisible, ethereal and eternal as pictured in the eye of the storm. This is our destination.

The scriptures are meant to expedite this process with truths as of utmost importance for us to grasp hold of and maintain our coarse. For us “to have a strong consolation,  (for those) who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:, (of things declared to us from the beginning). And “19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. As a goal within reach, even despite the turbulence of time.

Even as the writer of Hebrews taught “There is a rest for the people of God”, 3 For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said: (from the beginning )“So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest,’ ” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day (of creation) in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”; 5 and again in this place (The Kingdom of God at hand): “They shall not enter My rest.”

Which has absolutely NOTHING to do with end times prophecies and “last days” expectations of another work, or for something else has to happen, because if it does, then when The Son of God at the cross said “It is finished”, it would not be. And that is why He is described as “The Lamb slain from the foundations of the world” so as to silence any dissent and idle, unproductive talk of another day, any other day and surely silence the critics of the gospel of truth, to then sit and wait for another coming Jesus to leave His rest to rescue you? To save you again? That is not going to happen.

And again from Hebrews 4.

Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. 3 For we who have believed do (and have) enter that rest, as He has said: “So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest,’ ” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world,  As we have been saying.

And again with the Jews Christ said “How I morn for you as a Mother hen morns over her brood, NOW this destruction is upon you because you knew NOT your time of visitation”, As being “TODAY! (Meaning everyday) if you can here His voice, harden not your hearts like they did in the wilderness (wanderings too).

It is the “against the time to come,” that we have been warned about (like “end times” and “last days”) as something that would come along afterwards to dilute these truths and offer counterfeits so as to scatter the fold by the winds of doctrine and cause great divisions and consternation. To present ideas and half truths using expired and transitional, and inductive verses to circumvent the process to make people forget.

It is for us to know “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; (that is if you can keep it) 2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and(we) bear witness, and (we) declare (like, let there be light)  unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested (unto us;) 3 That which we have seen and (we have) heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is (already ) with the Father, and is (already) with his Son called The Christ. 4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may (already and continually) be full.

These are the words from John the Apostle from his first epistle. He did NOT direct us to some end time scenario, but back to “That which was from the beginning” as our objective to secure and maintain as our place of abiding in the Son of God also referred to as “The Word of God“. Word is the only place of abiding peace, meaning no turbulence or tribulations, for it is our obedience to God’s Holy Spirit to be here. Where? God’s Holy Spirit that fills all things all the time who brings to your rememberance God’s Words having been sown into your hearts and minds, who is also the conclusion of (the) matter, of ALL matter. And the more real this reality becomes for you, the more “the things of this world grow faint and fun in the light of His Glory in Grace”.

That is because ( “1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And (He is) the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came to bear witness of the Light, that all men through Him may believe. 8 John was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That (Christ) was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world did NOT know Him. 11 He came unto His own, and His own did NOT receive. 12 But as many as received Him,(from every nation, tribe and tongue called Gentiles) to them He gave power to become the children of God, even to them that believe on His name: 13 It is these who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh (in human form), nor of the will of man, but of God.” For those who responded to the gospel.

With this displayed so clear here, to in turn go to Gods Word broken down into words, to use for any other purpose other then Him calling us to Himself, could be considered out of context away from its intended goal, and a sign of your avoidance to your responsibility to the things already given. Because if “you have known Him who is from the beginning”, it is important to know what is given to you as part of the package deal of “the gift of godliness, meaning God-like-ness.

Yes. Adam was imaged like God and fell. Christ took on Adams and our curse from the fall unto Himself. Meaning He defeated death, and packaged that gift and calls it “salvation” as having to do with the reversal of the wreckage with Adam (John 3.16). To then have us put back where Adam left off from being an image of God that we are re-imaged after. Because even Adam was given this life to discover the place “far above all principalities and powers in Heavenly places”. To then spend the rest of our lives if necessary, to explore, discover and “put on Christ”, the gift of godliness and NOT to put on a religious form of piety and rest waiting for some other occurrence to happen to help them. For “you have heard and I have helped. That today is the day of salvation” because Christ already came and did His marvelous work of Saving humanity, one time for all time, past present future. And all we have conveyed thus far, certainly has nothing to do with a second coming Jesus or another installment from God of any sort, for that would be an insult to The Son of God who is also the Savior of mankind already. This is the true form of godliness that needs no renewals or updates and has no binding clauses of terms and conditions or contracts for arbitration’s like the gods of this age that bind you up against the gift of God. That is the enslavement of humanity.

Yes! You choose your providers. You may feel empowered by their enticements, but they are a false type of godliness that is seen as adulterous in the eyes of the Heavenly Father and in competition with the “gift according to godliness already distributed and left here for our retrieval as sojourners, pilgrims and travelers as being “in the world but not of the world” and abiding in the peace of God, against the odds.

Even as we read in 2 Peter that “2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of our Lord and Savior, 3 According as His divine power hath (already) given unto us everything that pertains to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue (For the completion of the gift in us): 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these (invisible  morsels) ye are partakers of the divine nature, having (ALREADY been given the way and) escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

This is The New Covenant if you can keep it.

And this was all instituted at the beginning of the gospel as having to do with the institution of The New Will and Testament of an inheritance distribution after the death of a testator, and that testator is “the Only Begotten Son of God, and His death opened up that will for all who would be born again by leaving their old self at the cross too to receive this do-over in the realm of faith. In truth, Christ is “The Lamb slain from the foundations of the world, to ensure this offer is eternal forwards and backwards.

So then to hope to attain some new physical body at some other installment or visitation or a second coming, is to run rough shod over these promises, in disrespect to the Giver of these gifts. Why? As John said “flesh and blood does not inherit the kingdom”, but the re-spirited mind of faith does. This is the midst of the storm.

And it is packaged in this gift given “from the beginning” John also says, “I write to you, because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father. 14 I have written to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one”. As a packaged deal called salvation.

And again from Johns Gospel. ²⁷ And you also will bear witness (about the things from the beginning), because you have been with Me from the beginning. And as Jude writes “3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common (meaning without prejudice) salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend (as we do) for the faith which was once (and for all time) delivered to the saints. And WE do!

So you can see that the gospel is more about preserving “that which is from the beginning” as being the promises of God given when we first believed. That we are not left half saved looking for another carnal event. That the Cross of Christ, our understanding, and applying what was given to us there, is more than sufficient to complete our own salvation. Now is the time for full disclosure and discovery but NOT the time to implement your sovereignty for in doing so, you spend your inheritance in an age that has an end.

And our proof,  Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

And from Paul in 2 Thessalonians “13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord and Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, 17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

And these are important truths because of all the “End Times prophecy’s (meaning, foretelling and future casting events) and all the expectations of scripture to yet be fulfilled? They have been fulfilled. Unless you think God becomes man again, in need for someone to build Him a temple. For “ye are living stones, built up a habitation of God in the Spirit, if you’ve been able to receive these things. Don’t let thean in the mirror fool you. Reckon that dead.

There are only two covenants. The first (Old Testament) is expired and the second one was instituted after Christ was first baptised by His cousin John, then after His stint with Satan in the wilderness, He then entered the temple “15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

That from that moment on the Old Covenant with all its persons places and events had expired. That NOW “the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

Now to make the point that, “End times” prophecies  has never been the recommended focus or intention of the gospel. Scripture is NOT given to forecast the future. Because of this, we were warned that “evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. “. The truth be told, the term “end times” is NOT found once in scripture. Maybe the term “last days” is. But even the term “last days” and “last time”, has to do with the time frame of the New Covenant era and NOT some end of the world end times destruction of the world. Even as we read in Hebrews 1″God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things,  And has past the “ all things” on to us who are His as “heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. When “10 when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.  Of “that which was from the beginning.

In God’s eyes, end times beliefs are all repugnant. It is the wrong focus and NOT the purpose of scripture. Partially because those who are focused on “end times”, do so to be “in the know” so that they can be prepared to save themselves. Think about that. Who saved whom and how are we saved and what does saved really mean because today, none of the end times preparations makes sense to a clear mind. If you remember the testimony of the demon possessed man whom Christ saved. He was seen at rest, seated and in his right mind”.

Oh for that testimony to be true for every professing believer today. Maybe they too should go back to the beginning. How about you?Are you focused on “end times” end of the world?

For you see, we have never been instructed to focus on “end times”, end of the world, last days, unfulfilled prophecies because in truth, the only open ended prophecies that are yet to be fulfilled are the ones left unfulfilled like of Satan who was; “cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

And from 2 Peter 3.7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

And Peter gets more specific saying “ 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 (created) elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned 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 (final conclusion of creation called the) day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements (from the 6 days of creation) shall melt with fervent heat?

And because you are still here you know things haven’t been burned up. So where does that leave us? Well the obvious answer would be that we are in the final days of the last days after the thousand year reign when Satan has his last chance deception “with all lying signs and wonders if possible to deceive the Elect”. But those who have obtained their rest in Heavenly places have insight as watchers over “The lying signs and wonders”. And the lying signs and wonders?? It is the re-branding and re-institution of old expired scripture, that has created more dispersion, discention and confusion among professing believers today.

If you do not think you are of the Elect and because the earth and all it’s works are NOT burned up yet, then you can still be saved from this wicked and adulterous generation of “end times seekers” Satanic ridden perversion of the gospel, who are Hell bent and Hell bound to get to the end of the “End Times”, for what?? To be rescued? To be saved?

If you remember the parable of the wedding feast and of those who did not enter the Bridal chamber to in-turn go to the world to buy what they needed. Unfortunately for them, when the doors were closed and they woke up outside, they were told “I do not know you where you are from!” And “depart from Me you workers of in-iquity” and “for you are not mindful of the things of God but of men.” And “the things of men” is about the preservation and saving of self. That is why “those who seek to save their lives will loose it and those who loose their life for My sake’s “said Christ “, will gain life for eternity.

You end time seekers will have your day. But it will end with “wailing and knashing of the teeth” because of all the lost opportunities. Could’ve, should’ve, would’ve if you only knew. So now you do and you can still repent which means to do an about face. To face what? “That which is from the beginning”.

The Kingdom of God is still at hand. And even as Christ said to the Jewish leaders who ussered Him to the cross. “You have correctly called Me King, however My Kingdom is NOT FROM HERE! Meaning of time and matter but Eternal. Amen
