Circumcision Of Putting Off The Deeds of the Flesh.

The point of “putting off the deeds of the flesh is that “flesh and bone does not inherit the kingdom”, but the re-spirited mind of faith does just as expediently as it puts off the needs and the deeds of the flesh as antagonistic to the faith, to include fears and doubts to dis-believe the Gospel as pertinent and relevant Today! For “today is the day of salvation.” Tomorrow might not be.

And NOT to mean to put off the carnal body itself, as we read from Colossians 2.11 saying “ In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, It is to put off a body of beliefs! For in doing so, this is the restoration of the fall each one of us inherited from Adam and Eve.

For it was the flesh that was the innocent bystander. And because the fall happened in the spirit of the mind, for there were no broken bones, bruises or cuts, but the upside down way of thinking as the only thing needed to restore you back to “that which is from the beginning” before the Fall.

It is a wayward way of thinking that resulted in the fall that needed to be restored and not the flesh body resurrection, or an end time last days Jesus thing at all.

So lets look further at how we “put off the body of the sins of flesh” and put on righteousness of faith, by faith as the reversal of the fall from the beginning. For this is the salvation of God through His Son, who is also His word (John 1.1). Because (12 to as many as received Him (meaning Christ), to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to those who believe in His name: 13 Who were born, NOT of blood, NOR of the will of the flesh, NOR of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

So “He became flesh and dwelt among us” to show us how to “put off the body of the deeds of the flesh” by changing our ways of thinking. This is why we are instructed to “Be renewed in the spirit of your mind, that you may know Gods good, acceptable and perfect will. This is our work in the faith, in the invisible, spirit and truth as to how we receive the gift of life given from that cross, as a job finished and well done.

Paul writes about those in Christ in Colossians 2 “11 In whom ye also are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh (as a wayward way of thinking) by the circumcision of Christ:

Showing us that it is NOT putting off the physical body itself, but putting off the body of disbeliefs called sins. That is us trying to protector save the flesh in carnal ways. To mean saving the carnal man is a wayward way of thinking, to include all of your coverages and policies.

These things we put off are promotionals and motivators that are the sins that are antagonistic and not the flesh itself. For if it was the flesh that was antagonistic, then that would mean that Adam and Eve were already sinners the moment they were created even before they committed sin, and that just cannot be so. For Paul to go on and teach us “13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath He (Christ) made us alive together with Himself, having forgiven you all your trespasses;

And From Romans 7 “5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were (past tense) by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death (or, that killed us). 6 But NOW we are delivered from the law (accusations and condemnations that killed us), that being dead (and un-responcive to the Spirit) wherein we were held; for us to serve in newness of spirit, and not in the (flesh prompted by the) oldness of the letter.

For Paul to finish this explanation with “25 therefore I thank God through Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God;

We also have Peters perspective where he wrote that “18 For Christ also hath suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, in order to bring us (back) to God, (by) being put to death in His flesh, but quickened by Gods Spirit.”  In our flesh.

The spirit becomes our new habitation for us who are born again and borne from above. We have our do-over

To finalize the deal by saying “21 The like figure where unto even (on the picture  of) baptism does also save us now (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh (itself), but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: As having happened to us as well.

Of which baptism itself is just a physical ritual to make visible the spiritual realities, and the invisible reversal of Adams fall that happened to us as well, that everyone was born into. So that Baptism negates our association with Adam, to associate with Christ for them to be “born again” and “borne from above” as being newly created, or in bible lingo, born again.

This is our rectification and our salvation from the fall. And this salvation all takes place where the fall happened, in the spirit of our minds.

Even as we read from Hebrews 11 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things are not (carnally) seen. ² For by faith (in the invisible) the elders obtained a good report (with God the Father).

And this “report” was written down in scripture for our retrieval. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruptible (word), 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 (all by the working of faith), then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

To mean that we have past from death to life in this way, all by our tools of faith in the invisible where the fall took place.

So then to take this at face value, it is when you have “put off”the old habits inherited from Adam and Eve as a wayward way of thinking as having to do with being dead to God, for us to in turn put on the gift of Godliness by faith.

This is the reversal of that fall, the redemption and the salvation from God, given to us just as simply as we inherited sin from Adam and Eve, saying “12 To as many as received Him (who is invisible), to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to those who believe in is name.¹³ Who were born, NOT of blood, NOR of the will of the flesh, NOR of the will of man, but of God :

And this all takes place by faith to mean the invisible, outside of view of carnal perceptions, ALL in the spirit of the mind where Adam and Eve fell.

Even as we were instructed to “be ye renewed in the spirit of your mind. For He made Him who knew no sin (Christ) to become our sin for us to (in turn) become the righteousness of God (by being found) in Him. “For in Him is no sin.”And we are in Him this is true

Here are some more verses from scripture showing us to put off the flesh by the workings of faith, and to put on the new you in the image of Christ, of who He “was and is and is to become” who is “at hand” right now.

That if you have NOT understood this, it is likely because you expect Christ to perform another type of saving? Like the end times, last day cult do by promulgating the farce of a “second coming Jesus” which in truth is not found once in scripture. Because we are to “put off the old man and its deeds, to include those illusions and lies, to put on the new. And only in this way can you be saved. As for those who sit and wait? Or go to the world for their needs? It is they who will be regarded as those who went to the world for their wedding garments, to be told “depart from Me you workers of inequity for you are not mindful of the things of God (to put on) but the things of man.

So unless you want to face these charges, “put on Christ” one revelation at a time as the Gospel demands while the invitation is still at hand. And how? Keep reading, for.

12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13 Let us walk in honesty, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to (the likeness of) God, in true righteousness and holiness. As an attainable goal.

9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And having put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge (showing you the neccesary tools to accomplish this) after the image of him that created him: 11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew (as a preferance), circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfection.

1 Thessalonians 5.8 “8 But let us who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

14 knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.

And just as we are showing you. Those who put off the deeds and needs of the flesh associated with canal needs, greed, and fears and self protection.

18 For Christ also hath suffered once for (all of our) sins, the just for the unjust, in order to bring us to God (The Father), being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: Amen!

It was as He suffered He set us free from the promptings of fears, short comings and appearing to be naked. So that we NOW being clothed in His Word? This is His original essence of who He was before “The Word became flesh and dwelled among us. And we beheld His Glory, the Glory of the Only Begotten of the Father full of grace and truth”. As is this testimony, to be able to chime in with the rest who have gone before us as “to the spirits of just men made perfect, while they were sojourners seeking this goal. This is an accomplishment that doesn’t require our carnal visual death because that is the price Gods Only Begotten paid for us.

This is the Gospel, and This is The Kingdom of God at hand”. To mean proverbially reachable and attainable like this.

Amen!

The Kingdom of God is at hand.

The Body of Christ.

ENSURING OUR COMPLETION AND OUR CROSSOVER.

There is a promise in scripture that “We are a new creation in Christ. That old things HAVE past away, behold all things HAVE become new and all things ARE from God.” (2 Corinthians 5.17-18)

However we must understand that the “all things are FROM God” are NOT of THIS AGE of “time and matter” but something that pre-existed, before God ever said “let there be light” by which He jump started creation as something different from the Creator. We are not saying that God doesn’t bless the tangible things, but the things of this age have an expiration date, and  that should help us define our goal, to “cross over”. There are many parables in scripture to help us do so. .

The point is that “Gods” things remain sanctified, isolated and away from the infections, sickness, disease, death and destruction’s of “this age” (of which He is also the cure), and from mixing with “creation” itself.

Creation is an enclosed and controlled environment. Creation has purposes and one of them is to filter out, to trap, to contain and hold spell bound all the evil doers in their attempts to steal control over all aspects of creation. Yes their lust and quest for the dominance of this realm is their snare and their occupation, their pre- occupation and trap that keeps them spellbound. They are occupied with creation and why scripture calls Satan “the god of this age”. This age is our training grounds and the trap for fallen angels who try to detain us. But for us? They are food for fodder. In this way the Heavens get purified.

For this reason we are called “pilgrims and sojourners”. This is NOT our home because our departure from here is to advance to another place we call “The Kingdom of God at hand”. Because it is “at hand” for those who are accounted as being “in Christ” as opposed to being “in  and of the world” or “in Adam” because we have a different heritage.

We are in a secure place called “sanctification“ by implementing the safety features called the promises of God as outlined in scripture. There we find our tools and the directions with our empowerment of how to employ them NOW. But this is past up on by the ill-intended seekers who are filtered out as being disingenuous. For them scripture is something else.

Our sanctification and our protection from God is also referred to “Heavenly Jerusalem” because “nothing unclean shall enter Her”. We who are “born again” are “born from above” and “borne of the Spirit supersede the creation of 6 days . We are encapsulated, preserved and protected by Gods word and Holy Spirit in this fashion. This is what scriptural sanctification is. And a fortuitous strong tower and safe haven for all who call upon Yahovah with a pure heart. (untainted by the worlds illusions meant to detain the disingenuous).

The truth be told, creation is the trap because in it will bring forth the contrast and the anti-types of things Eternal, as was the whole old law culture era and why the Israelite’s were called children some 1200 times in The Old Testament scriptures. This was because they just could NOT put away their toys to cross over in their understanding into the invisible as attainable before their carnal conclusion, to make the connection into the real being as the Eternal. Even as Paul said. When I was a child, I thought like a child, when I became a man (past tense), I put away childhood toys” to mean all the old Covenant look alikes.

Similarly with Moses who spoke to the Israelite’s (not the jews, that title is English slang) saying And the Lord spoke to you out of the midst of the fire. You heard the sound of the words, but you SAW NO FORM; you only heard a voice. And “Take careful heed to yourselves, for you SAW NO FORM when I spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire”. (Deuteronomy 4) Showing us that our realization of God and His Eternal things gifted to us DO NOT TAKE ON A FORM TO PLEASE YOUR CARNAL SENSES. This is for our conclusion, that we are in the world but NOT of the world.”

This is why Christ appeared as a pauper on a donkey to expire in purpose that Jerusalem in that Israel on Earth with all their officers  laws and feasts once and for all! (Genesis 49.1 and 8-10 of “what will befall you in your later days”) their last days came snd left with the whole Old Covenant era. That is what “fulfilled” means. Expired.

And confirmed again at Horeb by Moses saying “Only take heed to yourself, and diligently keep yourself, lest you forget the things your eyes have not seen (as training tools of the invisible), and lest they depart from YOUR HEART  all the days of your life. And teach them to your children and your grandchildren. (as joint heirs of the Kingdom of God at hand).

This is why Christ said that “all the law and the prophets were (only) till John the Baptist (STOP). Now the Kingdom is preached and all are entering”, as being something different than their kingdom, and is also their replacement.

So you can see what kind of mess we are in today. But luckily for us the call is still  “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

Like our Father said “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.’  This is our need for His Word and Holy Spirit.

So don’t expect His things to look like your things made with hammers and chisels except to be used by way of contrasts for educational and explanation purposes only as we just showed you. This is why Paul said “when I became a man (an adult), I put away childhood things” referring to the whole Old Covenant as being only teaching tools for tots. (Children)

This is why we were warned of those who would re-present another coming people called the Jews of another Jerusalem , with another physical rendition of the old covenant to include blasphemous sacrifices as though Gods Christ was on par with their sacred cows, of what the people were expecting in a carnal way, to make the distinction crystal clear for those who are called to “come up hither”, not to associate with the false images on earth for: 9 “The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, in order to be be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie (another Judaism/jew, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” In other words, God lets them occupy themselves with such falsehood for their own damnation because “they refuse to accept the love of the truth that they may be saved”.

Like many who have gone before us that just could not comprehend that Gods things CANNOT BE MANIFEST outside of there original Eternal composition of Spirit and Truth, to please their carnal senses “for no one can see God and live” (Exodus 33.20) “But the Son of God, also called The Word of God, declares Him, with perfect articulation.” And we see Him “in Spirit and truth”. That is why we were instructed from the beginning to remember that they “SAW NO FORM”. And that is the demise of those who expect another physical manifestation of Christ. God is going to give it to them “with all lying signs and wonders” will be manifest because “they worship and serve a lie with the creation over the Creator who is blessed forever Amen! Why? Because they will not let go of the demands of the flesh. They will get their coming one “with all lying signs and wonders” in a physical way as  a sign of the end, but that one is the impostor. And as creation is a trap for Satan and his minions because they are jealous of mankind, but we are with those whose focus is in “Heavenly places in Christ”.

God will give them up to themselves to accomplish the desire of their own hearts, a Jerusalem on earth in waiting for a Jesus to come as though His only incarnation could NOT complete the task, but He said “it is finished, and His spirit departed” . So it is to all who reject Yahovah Elohim in His original construct of ‘Spirit and Truth‘.

THOSE WHO HAD COME OUT OF THE LIES

Yes as with Noah, with Lot and his family and with believers described in The Book of The Revelation, the bugle call has blasted to flea, to leave and to depart. To ‘come out of her My people”‘ because Babylon the world system connected by a www. eye in the sky, worldwide web, with your name, address, phone numbers, passwords, bank and health records, all of which you have submitted to with terms and conditions, likes and subscribes as blasphemous and insulting to God the Father who has us covered in EVERY PERCEIVABLE, SND NECESSARY WAY! They say “the borrower serves the lender”. In this way many have sold themselves with liens, contracts and terms and conditions on everything when scripture tells us “let your yes be yes and your no be no for whatever else comes from this is from the wicked one”. Why? Because terms and conditions are as “legal and binding” as marriage vows when you are to be wed to One, the Creator who made you into His image. But then you submit which is tge same as to bow, and how you become restricted. This is an insult to The Gift giver of life that who harlot yourself for such provisions as though the Father over looked your need of such things. Blasphemy! Even as it is written in Genesis 49.14  “Issachar was as a strong donkey, lying down between two burdens; 15 He saw that (Gods) Rest was good, And that the land  (of promises) was pleasant; (But instead) He bowed his shoulder to bear a burden, And became a bound up of slave.

This is how “Babylon has fallen (and inverted in purpose) and become a snare and a trap for every foul bird and unclean thing (because they are lusting for human souls to be subdued so they may cohabit-ate in human bodies, also called demon possession. Paul spoke of these in 2 Timothy 2. 26 and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.

Fortunately for us we have the Gospel for our empowerments.

For it is Babylon (obscured and confusing contracts, think of pregnancy contraction pains)  that takes on the contrasts of the eternal in a way to appease the carnal infatuations. These have not been truly born again because John 3 says that “Only those born again can see the kingdom of God.” And “only those born of water and the Spirit, can enter the kingdom of God. Where does this put you??

Think of your baptism vows here, because if you are not born again “in Christ” you may be subject to Gods wrath by an disingenuous  association. 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.”

To mean they never learned to employ their empowerment’s gifted to us from the Cross as joint heirs of an Eternal sort.

The modern era Mystery Babylons destruction will be “in the blink of an eye” meaning faster then humanly noticeable. That they will come into full contact with the strong hand of God Who will smite them with a flaming damnation from the Almighty God who has been toying with them (the demonic entities) in order for them to “fill up (to the full) the measure of your fathers guilt”. Their expected joy will vaporize like a puff of smoke. (2 Peter 3.10-13).

Therefore “come out of Her My people lest you partake of their sins and receive of their judgements. To never be influenced by them  again other than educational as a testimony on how NOT to do it. (Isaiah 66.24 which states “And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against Me, for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

And of Babylons testimony? “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!

Then the judgment will be 8 “Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.”

NOW FOR THOSE WHO ARE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE AND “THE IN-BETWEEN”

This is why Christ spoke to the woman the well, of which she said erroneously that “you jews say in Jerusalem is the (preferred) place where God ought to be worshiped. And Christ replied “woman I tell you in truth that the time that is coming (of which you inquire of) is ALREADY HERE when you shall Not worship the Father in (any) Jerusalem (on earth, back then or now) but in spirit and truth for the Father seeks such”. (John 4.19-26) And because of that, that Jerusalem was wiped out “till not one brick shall be left upon another” were the words of Christ (Matthew 24.1-2), and He is the word of God, so that Jerusalem is to be no more forever. Amen.

Where does that put those who again  that, TODAY is NOT the day for salvation? Why? Because they are expecting another coming Jesus to another brick built temple in a brick built Jerusalem with supposed replications of the important features for more sacrifices? To return to the old Covenant as a way of doing things on earth? As though that would make their Jesus happy. Did He turn die in vain?

That concept totally defies every quote from scripture new and old as we’ve presented such to expose their fallacies, it is an act of scriptural defiance to associate with the old in any other way than the wrong way because how many were righteous. NONE, NO NOT ONE!

Woe is them! It shall not be the place of God’s blessing. It is the cursed defiance and object of the scorn of Eternity for mimicking eternal things to detain humanity. To keep them from rising up to the call from the Holy Spirit to “come up hither”. Where? To the Jerusalem that comes down from God from Heaven, and seen actively open as described by Paul in Galatians as “The Mother of us all” who are now borne from above from the original the old was only to teach about with toys. Let The Original in Heaven be your joy, be your love and aspiration and not the blasphemous rendition built with the bricks of men. If that had worked, there would have been no need for A New Will And Testament of God founded with eternal blood and eternal provisions…..

This is the purpose and the encapsulation of “all the promises to us from God. They are all eternal, they are all “spirit and truth. You see if we have pursued Christ and put Him on as scripture commands, then you have nothing to worry about as the powers of this age try their last ditch effort to detain you from your inheritance by you trying to preserve yours here. With all the news and fake news and big bad boogie men of the day that try to keep you distracted through their various forms of fear.

So we say, Let them have it! We are not saying kill yourself, for you forever live if you live by the Spirit. What we are saying about them, is that their words, warnings and threats of persecutions have no power over us because the Son of God purchased our deaths with “the blood of the Eternal Spirit, be it slow or fast, because we belong to Him. That is why we say when Christ at the cross asked the Father why He forsook Him”? He didn’t. Christ nearly  just tasted death for us so that we wouldn’t have to.

Oh the blessedness of such a massive gift of eternal life. And we know that Christ, after paying for the death of all mankind, He walked away unscathed because of the empty tomb, the grave cloths lying on the ground and the head cloth folded and set on a ledge (signifying a scroll on a shelf). Dead people can not do that. And because someone with eternal life did do this, it was sufficient. We know this because if you added together all the years of all the people who have lived and died, there is a number and that number which is in the billions, is far short of eternal. But the point here is that not only did Christ take on Himself the count of dead years of all of humanity, He also took to Himself all the pain and agony associated with it, or else the penalty of death in fact has not been paid. But we have come to know and believe that when The Christ on The Cross let out His agonizing, screeching, blood curdling cry’s, they were not for Himself, but the collection of ours from all humanity (John 3.16). That is the Testimony of the cry’s at the cross that He truly bore our sins AND the consequences thereof. (Those who the Son sets free are truly free”? Yes, from the consequences of death too. That is why the gift is eternal life.

That is why the Apostle Paul could convey to us (if you are willing to receive it) that “Romans 8

That’s the size of the gift of God in His Son. “For God sent His Son into the world not to condemn those in it, but to save them. (John 3.17)

This should encourage all of us to seriously discover the gift of eternal life given by the sacrifice of Gods Son. Had Christ not been eternal and from the Father, He would not have prevailed, but this was all part of the plan from the beginning and why even Adam and Eve experienced a sacrifice showing that they understood that the price for a life was death.

The fact of the matter is, every hope, every belonging and every entanglement you have with this age, and primarily with the gods of this age, must be put off because any thing you hold on to here is going to weigh heavy on your spirit and make it hard for your departure. If you have put off the works of the flesh of self and self preservation, your reservation in the Kingdom is secured. Primarily because there is no mixture of substance. Christ said “the god of this age that’s coming, has nothing in Me.” So much so in fact that there is nothing to be afraid of for those who are “in Christ”, as opposed to those who are in and of the world.

You see every generation had to go through a series of tests to disenfranchise themselves from this age.

“Mark 10.9 So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother [a]or wife or children or [b]lands, for My sake and the gospel’s, who will not receive abundantly more.

We can start with Noah and the Ark. That family was so withdrawn from that world that they were on the Ark with the doors closed before the first drop of rain fell. And if we are Covenanted with God, we are in the ark of safety.

And of Lot and his family with Sodom and Gomorrah. They had Angels tugging them until the last moment. And even then they settled for the low country and would only go up so far. This was their snare. Remember Lots wife? She failed to let go of the old and she was turned into a statue of salt for all successive generations to see how NOT to do it.

It was when God spoke through Moses to the Israelite’s that He purposed to them “The Passover”. We see this where the angel of death past over them because of the blood applied to their doorways. Then they were instructed to cross over the Red Sea to start to learn through trials and testings, to live in the promises God gave them from “The Ark (like Noah’s) of the covenant”.

Like us who are “in Christ“. He is our Ark and our Covenant, to mean that we are in Gods promises because the Son of God the Christ is also the promise land because we also walk in the promises. And as it is said in Exodus 4 that “Israel is Gods first born”. Meaning that God the Father was not referring to a land called Israel or a people. Those were just pictures. And because Gods only begotten is portrayed throughout scripture, you can now see that to be in Christ” is to be in Gods Only Begotten Son, and to be in The Son is to be “in Christ”. So then those who are “in Christ” are in “the promise land” and the place here the promises are activated and realized is “in Christ”, because “if anyone is “in Christ” they are a new creation. That old things have past away. Behold! All things become new and all things are from God”. It is to us who are in Christ “ that are in the promise land where all things new are realized.

All these descriptions define the invisible spiritual realities, picture in a physical way of what we are to do in the spirit, in an invisible way. Simply put, we need to put off the things of this age that make us look like anyone else. If you didn’t have the promises from God, you would have to find other providers, provisions and protections from other sources. But you don’t want to do that . These differences distinguish us from the rest of the world.

“We are in the world, but not of (like) the world”.

Amen!

The Book of the Revelation opens with:  “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to Him, to shew to His servants things which must shortly take place; and He sent and signified it by His angel to his servant John: (saying) “Blessed are those that read, and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

To mean that the Kingdom of God is within reach and graspable. That it was expiring at that time for that is what the saying “at hand” means.

To then have the same book close with, Revelation 22: 9 Then said he unto me: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the testimonies of Jesus Christ, worship Him. 10 And (then) he said to me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book (is now): for the time is at hand.

To say that the book of The Revelation, from front to back was happening starting with those who were first to hear it, to close and be fulfilled for them.

To mean for us that the whole Book of The Revelation is history, past tense and fulfilled.  With the exception of one warning of Satan’s temporary release saying “ and He cast him (satan) into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he could NOT deceive the nations any more, untill the thousand year (era) is expired.”

So that after these things, Satan must be released for a little while.

And that is the main point for us, is that because this is NOT correctly understood today, that we ARE IN THE “after these things Satan must be released for a little while.

To mean that the “thousand year” era is history, along with the rest of scripture, with the exception of Satan’s release for his short season.

Revelation Chapter 1.1 where it is written ” —of things which must shortly take place.”

The word “Shortly” from Strong’s Concordance #1722, means a fixed position in time. And #5034 , means to be quickly and without delay.” To happen immediately or as in “at hand” close to that point it time in which it was written. To HAPPEN SUDDENLY…. 

So all of The Book of The Revelation opens and closes saying not to seal it. So that it is His-Story. Christ came in the flesh to return to the Father and He said “I go to the Father and you see Me again no more.” At least in a carnal way. This is how “The Kingdom of God is at hand” in the way it always has been but will not always be because the invitation has an expiration saying “16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root 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 And 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….

Meaning the story of the Redeemer, the Savior and the Christ, to now become an historical account for that generation, just as the flood for Noah was “at hand” for them to respond to that in their day. However their testimonies remain true and left as reminders and patterns of what to expect from the Creator.

It was the Book of the Revelation that was not only written for that generation back then. To also mean that it was NOT meant to be used years later as a playbook of things yet to come some 2000 plus years as many suppose. GO BACK AND LOOK! THEY ARE LYING TO YOU! Even as we read ” for this reason God will send them a strong delusion that they would believe a lie.

It had its fulfillment, to mean a completion soon after it was written. And NOT to be concluded some 2,000 plus years later in the future, as the modern day “end times” “last days” seekers use it for.

Remember the warning; Neither shall they say, look here! or, look there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

And to reassure us with another quote in chapter 22 “6 Then he (the Angel) said to me, “These words are faithful and true.”

As well as reliable and dependable.

And “will be faithful later and then true, as if to keep people in limbo

And the Lord God of the holy prophets, who sent His angel to show His servant John  the things which must “immediately” from Strong’s Concordance #1722+5034) take place. 7 (saying) “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed are those (even back then) who keep the words of the prophecy of this book for the time is at hand..

So then this phrase also supports the fact that the  Revelation was”AT HAND” back then, and a saying that serves as book ends to that book and applied to that generation of what was happening to them NOT FOR US.

To then have John in the last chapter of The Revelation, in turn confess and say “8 Now I, John, SAW and HEARD these things. As a matter of record of bygone events.

So then the term “AT HAND” is the foundation of The New Will And Testament Gospel! That “the Kingdom of God is at hand now as always as it was back then. So that no, we were not left here Orphans or without a parent.

Further more, the book of the Revelation addressed the Gentiles through the 7 churches, or more accurately Assemblies that “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

And if these are not challenging enough to the modern day, last days, end times seekers, the word “Church” is also eschewed. It is to mean Assembly’s of people and not brick and mortar churches at all Because “you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ

To mean that when the the deception “with all lying signs and wonders from Satan is complete, that these are the deceptions we were warned that would come….

. And Christ was first to preach that “The Kingdom of God is at hand”. To mean graspable and attainable as well. Or Jesus Christ misled everybody but HE DID NOT!

That it is for us to keep in context the phrase “the time is at hand” in the same why Christ used it. For if “The Revelation” was meant for a final era scenario as modern believers read into it, then every time the term “at hand” was used in scripture, to find out it wasn’t, then they could put it in anytime frame they wanted. That it was NOT at hand. But Christ is the way the truth and the light.” So we must NOT use the term “at hand” any other way than immanent, at any moment and about to occur. That is, unless you want to contribute to the  “the later days deception” where people will give in to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons“. For that is who and what is responsible for re-applying scripture out of context for another saving called a second coming. It is from seducing spirits and doctrines of demons.

And “At Hand” means within reach and close by. Just as a hiker hanging from a cliff to swing a rope past his face. The rope was at hand. Weather it saved him or not we don’t know.

And the word Shortly.

Now then, for the meaning of “shortly“. As in the beginning of the Book of The Revelation of “things which must shortly take place”, to mean it will happen quickly back then. Now for us who are here before the judge and the jury of your mind which will be tried by the Father to see if you are awake. That a messenger went to John with a timely message and expected for him to see, observe, look listen and remember of “things which must shortly take place. So that he could testify as a matter of public record of History. For us to be able to rely upon these truths as actual and factual. For “man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God”. So that Gods word is subject to scrutiny in this way. Where do you think all the denominations came from? Just as pennies, nickels and dimes are a small part of a greater whole, that they are subjected too for we serve One Christ and Savior.

These words shortly and  are quickly spoken, and written down to be part of the Canon of scripture. That we know we are to “let your yes be yes and your no be no. What’s more than this is from the wicked one.” That we too who accept His testimony (WORD), we say “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place DID and DO. And He sent and signified (or authenticated) it by His angel to His servant John, 2 who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw (back then). 3 Blessed are they who read and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it (as historically actual and factual from that time. To be true and reliably at hand); for the time is at hand. Has to mean “about to happen or occur” to take notes and document as it happens, and testify to starting back then.

To then wrap up the book with these words as the fulfillment not just of a vision but something available;

22 But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine (TO MEAN ITIS OTHER-WORLDLY)in it, for the Glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. 24 And the nations [n]of those who are saved shall walk in its (REVELATION) light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. 25 Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). 26 And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into [p]it. 27 But there shall by no means enter it anything [q]that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie (as do the second coming, end times seekers and deniers of this testimony do), but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

And we know that we shall be judged (good or bad) by every word that proceeds out of our mouth” or from our pen. And for John to confess this as such, that “this is legal and binding proof that The Book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave to His servant John of things which must shortly come to pass” is now all history. That it has happened, that this is The Foundation of New Testiment Christianity. And because the person many  call Jesus Christ, went to the Father just right before the cross and said “17 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify Thy Son, (with His Throne and Power) that Thy Son also may glorify Thee: 2 As Thou hast (ALREADY) given Him power over all flesh, for Him to give eternal life to as many as Thou hast given Him. 3 And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gave me to do. 5 And now, O’h Father, glorify thou Me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. 7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. 8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. 9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. 10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. 11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. 26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

If you remember the disciples turned Apostles were commission first to “19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you;? 

These are them. This is the testimoney

“1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must immediately take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of  Christ, to all things that he saw (and wrote).  Blessed are those who read and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time (of the Kingdom of God) is at hand (which is a phrase coined by Christ Himself.

To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, 6 and has (already )made us a kingdom of priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Who went on to say; 7 Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen. 8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says YHVH, “who was and is, and is to come, the Almighty.”

So for however much these texts are being manipulated  as useable again today, they are adding to the “with all lying signs and wonders if possible to deceave the Elect’ and creating re-directs from the saving that happened to validate a saving to come they call a second coming. For if there must be a second coming to deliver you from ANY impending doom, then anything and everything that has been passed on to us by The Savior of The Cross, HAS BEEN LOST.

They are super-imposing another era to come that already came.

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

And for those who pass up on this opportunity bought with the blood of Christ, may end up with this;

14 Blessed are those who do His commandments (believe in Him who was (past tense sent), that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie. 16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things to the congregations. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.” 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. A Warning 18 [i]For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, [j]God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God[k] shall take away his part from the [l]Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. I Am Coming Quickly 20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”

And He did. The Kingdom of God is STILL “AT HAND” in the way is was meant to be back then, throughout time and again for us even today.
