The Promised Land or The Land of Promise?

This might not seem to be a problem at a glance however there is a big difference between two.

A promised land infers to a plot of land, to mean a physical place. But a promise land as having to do with scripture, is more specifically to do with the spiritual promises given to us in scripture. That is NOT a land so much but are all metaphors and parables. That “All these things spake Christ unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable (sounds like, looks like) spake He not unto them: To mean that Gods promises to us especially from the “Old Covenant” were ALL just metaphors  whereby they could walk out physically what they were suppose to learn about in the spiritual and invisible. That because “God is Spirit and Truth and seeketh such.” And “Flesh and blood does not inherit the Kingdom”. Then we shouldn’t see (or perceive, same Greek word origin) any scripture at all as needing to be fulfilled, actualized, or come to be in a carnal way. For “flesh and blood does not inherit the Kingdom, for the Kingdom of God is within you.”

For this reason the tribes if Israelites were called children nearly 1200 times because they failed to make the distinction that everything they did was them playing physically with carnal things, to learn about the invisible things they were supposed to grow into. For this they were judged and put out of business “till NOT one stone shall be left upon another.  Even as we read in Romans. “How many were righteous? None? No not one!”

And if that was not true, then why was that Jerusalem promised to be reduced to rubble and to be overturned “till not one stone shall be left upon another”? Showing us that it all their toys being children, became blasphemous notions for their expectations were all physical as again like today.

If you remember that “those who are of the flesh do not inherit the Kingdom because the Kingdom of God is (supposed to be) within you.”

And another place says “The Kingdom cometh NOT with (carnal) observation for they will say “look here, and look there. But do NOT go after them.”

For this reason, all scripture has to be mentally ruminated, then spiritually assimilated, to come into fruition. For it to come into fruituon. That in this way, The Kingdom of God is at hand still.” Even now

And again from Christ Himself about the Kingdom “for they will say look here, and look there, but DO NOT Go After them for they are the blind leading the blind. That “the Kingdom of God is within you.”

So then to live in the promise land, is to abide (synonymous with live) in the words Christ spoke as being where we abide. As we quoted before “those who abide in Me, (to mean His words and Promises) then I will abide in you. And you shall ask what they want and it shall be done for you.” As true for us still in our day. Even as He said “Lo I am with you always , even till the end of creation.”

These are our rewards for putting off the deeds and the needs of the flesh. That “the carnal mind is enmity against God. It is not subjective to the things if God and neither indeed can be so that those who are in the flesh cannot please God.” “Because God is Spirit and Truth.”

That if we do not learn to walk in truth, with truth being a spiritual acquisition, then woe is us too for we have a greater testimony from the Son of God, and then to still end up stuck in old Testament pictures, patterns and toys, stuck on our knees at the cross? You failed to cross over to abide proverbially in the Promises. They were ALL meant for our deliverance from the providers from this age through “The Prince of the power of the air” with inner-net, which is under and intended by God to test your resolve saying “choose you this day who you will submit to! Me or Mammon” are the words of the Almighty.

The Old Covenant was a simple contract that “if you do this, then I will do that” from Yahweh God. But The New is not a covenant as much as it is a “Will and Testament” of the distribution of the dead mans goods upon His death. And Christ performed that. He was crucified just for that cause. We call it The New Will and Testament”. For us to realize . For us to wake up and become heirs and joint heirs of the things of God. That we live and abide in Christ. And in the Fathers eyes, all He sees in us is His Only Begotten. This is what it means to be in Christ” as opposed to being in and of the world. We have a new heritage NOW!

In this way we are the body of Christ of which He is the head. We are NOW! “Fellow citizens, saints and members of the household of God having been built upon the foundations of the Prophets with Christ the chief cornerstone”, in whom “we are built up a habitation of God in the spirit.”

That “all the promises of God are yes and amen in Him.” To mean to be “in Christ” is to be in Gods promises and Gods kandt. That as we abide in Christ, we abide in The Fathers Only Begotten Son. So that in this way we are “in Christ” and in the New Creation.

So then those who walk according to the flesh, need carnally factual fulfillments for Gods words. But those of us who “walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit”, we “look to the city whose building and maker is God” as an obtainable goal. Whose composition and design are eternal in the Heavens non-composite structures.

Amen! In this way, The Kingdom of God is at hand even now!

Expired means to breath the last breath and release the spirit to become dead. Ex=out as in exit and exhale.

Expired is commonly known with products goods and fruit. When they have expired they are to be discarded as unusable.

Expired is similar to the word “fulfill” in that fulfilled means to be satisfied as with a debt to have that debt cleared to no longer be in effect so that in essence the debt is satisfied, fulfilled and expired. These words can be interchangeable in some sentences to teach the same conclusion.

Like with a loan agreement that has been fulfilled is expired. It just becomes a dead contract, but may remain archived as a matter of testimony. So that one may testify to the fulfillment and expiration of that contract.

And this is exactly what Christ did with the Old Covenant. To become the messenger of the New Covenant, who came with the authority as more than just the “messenger of the covenant” but with the authority as the One with the power implement it and expire the Old Covenant too as was evidenced at the Cross. All old debts were paid, for Him then to become NOT just the “The Messenger of The Covenant” as anticipated in the Old. But also the One with the power to enforce The New Testament, and open the door into the New Covenant era, because He was also the way to the Father saying “those who have seen Me have seen the Father. As being “The way the truth and the light” too, to all who would respond in kind, of “kind begats according to kind” to proclaim  that “The Kingdom of God is at hand” as spelled out by Him because He is also, “The Word of God”.

And because of this, after giving His Life as payment for the sin of all of mankind at the cross, past present and future . Then Him having been seen and heard by the disciples, after the cross, and that “by many infallible proofs“. That He had been raised from the dead as the disciples , who became Apostles because the qualification for being an Apostle much greater than Disciples and Prophets.(Acts 1.3). That His resurrection was the proof of power over sin and death, and His testimony of the gift an Eternal life given “to as many as would receive Him”, as the price paid and as tge executor of The New Will and Testament from that point on. It was soon after that, the disciples were waiting as Christ instructed them “not to depart from (that) Jerusalem to be expired as well. To wait there until you receive of the promise that you have heard from Me.” We’re the words of Christ. So that the “not many days from now, you (meaning the disciples) will receive the fulfillment of that promise and NOT some 2000 plus years later! As many suppose. That because of the empowerment of The Holy Spirit the disciples now Apostle’s were told now “you shall be witnesses for Me unto the ends of the earth and the end of the age preaching and teaching all I have commanded you”, and so we do. This has to do with the New and final Will And Testament, where Christ at the cross said “it is finished”. Then offered to humanity, to as many as would receive Him that way

That “to them He gave power to become His offspring, even to those who believe in His name” who came in the name of the Father.

It was then that the distribution of the dead mans goods to the heirs would take place as a result of that death. And why the Kingdom of God has been “at hand” ever since because Chris that Will and Testament because He is also The Word of God, John 1.1)

And not only did they have their inheritance made available to them back then, but then for us who would come later as those who are “born again” and those who are re-spirited by being “borne from above”. To mean that “To as many as receive Him, (speaking of Christ) to them He gave them power to become His children, even to those who believe in His name, who were not born of blood or man but of the Holy Spirit”. And this is still happening today!

Saying again “Today if you will hear His voice, harden not your hearts like they did in the wilderness!”

Meaning it started back then when the spirit went to the disciples behind closed doors in the upper room of the Old (to be destroyed) Temple, to have the Holy Spirit descend and remain upon them. These are “the New Covenant pillars” of the New Covenant House of God as being “where ever two or more are assembled (an Assembly of God) together in My name (meaning the Son of God) and there am I in their midst.” And NOT of a man made structure, but with the disciples assembled to the chief cornerstone. And if you remember Christ told Peter. I no longer call you Simon but Petros (meaning rock and Peter) saying,”and on this rock I will assemble (or gather) to My habitation. To “wherever two or more are gathered in My name” as Christ proclaimed!..

This is a transference of purpose from the Old Covenant Structures to the New. Whatever they were expecting in the Old Covenant, came into fruition in the New “from the beginning”. To mean the cross is our storehouse of goods to become godly, to realize and activate our inheritance with the immediacy of learning how to do so. How else could “The Kingdom of God” be “at hand” if this was not true? This is the Gospel!

That this is “the New and living way to the Father”. And of The Old expired Covenant? It was a Covenant like a contract saying “of you… Then I will… It was NOT a Will and Testament of a deceased as was the new as it pertained to the death and the resurrection of Christ as the empowerment and new life by inheriting the riches of That Kingdom.

The Old Expired so much so in fact that there would no longer be any use for such a failure, not of Testament, but because fallen humanity failed. And why would we say failure? Because how many righteous did the Old Covenant produce? “None, not not one”. That all though the old there were stewards called prophets and scribes, however no produce ever took root in the people to make them righteous otherwise that proverbial tree would NOT have been chopped down as the parable implied.

So that now here many years latter, and with another attempt to replicate the former Jerusalem on the final era. We say final because “The last days” started with Christs cross. So yhen to try to breath new life into that old covenant, dead body of beliefs and believers, would be to side with the condemned, despicable and fruitless branch.

For this was the reason for the prophecy of “The Man called the Branch” to insure that you don’t go back to any of the concepts of The Old Covenant. That He, meaning Christ back then, would branch out to the nations through His resurrected body , being a body of believers that replaced the temple made with hands, ALL TEMPLES. That Him, (meaning Christ) growing out of the Old Covenant as if it were dung, or fertilizer. Him being the Head of the body of Christ, being a class of believers, that He would instruct them, His body of believers, what to do and where to go with the first one of the promise of “having heard from Him to “go to the Gentiles” meaning Nations. To go “preaching and teaching all I have commanded you”. This is the replacement of the Old, to be last and final Covenant, that is in contrast with the Old Covenant that was just a testimony of how NOT to do it. Why? Because how many were righteous? None no not one.

And what we testify about the Jerusalem of Old, is that is was just as much a part of the “expiration” of that covenant for a habitation for the heirs to associate with. And just as they were in that Jerusalem. We are in The Son of God’s counterpart and wife called Heavenly Jerusalem come down of God from Heaven.” Which can only be true if She was of the same composition as The Son of God, and why we are “born again, as borne from above”. Of the Body of Christ. That we accepted the invitation to the wedding.

So for this reason “In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh and dwelled among us. But because before the beginning was the word who put on that flesh, only did so so that we in exchange would learn how to “put off the body deeds of the flesh as antagonistic and not the flesh itself, for us to in turn put on the righteousness of the Christ of the cross as a free gift of eternal life. So that “to as many as would accept Him (on His terms and conditions) to them He gave the power to become His children, even to those who (understand this) and believe in His name, to mean not a pronunciation but the very name that means “Savior”.

This was said to make it crystal clear that it was to save as the cause for all the incidents and actions of Christ from that time on. That the Savior came and saved. Any expectation of any other form of saving is ONLY done in competition of that one and only, perfect savings plan from the Father. You have to go to and through the Christ of the Cross for Eternal Life. And having done so, to walk in faith is to live a life as though it had happened because although you may have  not experienced a physiological change, the change was given. It is you who needs to act upon these truths,, or remain unchanged and looking for another act of God to then be accredited nothing to your account but unbelief. For one must first believe, and believe that He rewards those who diligently seek Him as an ongoing lifestyle. For in doing so, The Kingdom of God is still at hand. The rest is up to you and your ability to walk by and in faith. Amen!

The First Fruits, The Gathering and the Final Harvest.

These harvests are like creation and are laid out naturally to fit times and seasons of a normal years harvest. What happens with creation, are just shadows of what happens in the Spirit. That all of Old Testament Scripture does just that.

Christ said He only spoke to people in parables. “Without a parable spake He not to the people.” So that all the way up through the Law and The Prophets, and up through the birth of Christ and up until The Cross these were all just teachings through parables of looks like, sounds like but not really like of things pertaining to “The Kingdom of God at hand”.

As Christ said, 25 These things have I spoken to you in parables: but the time cometh, when I shall no longer speak to you in parables, but I shall shew you the Father plainly”

And so, Welcome to The New Covenant and to “The Kingdom of God at hand”, plain and clear.

So that it is us who are able to decipher the parables and turn them into New Testament realities where they have their fulfillment in the New Covenant era. That the Holy Spirit left that Jerusalem. It was at the last supper, in the upper room where they were assembled as one, when the Holy Spirit came swooshing in and instructed them to go and preach to all the world, to mean Gentile nations, saying that “The Kingdom of God is at hand” in this way, as having nothing to do with the Jews and their idolatrous man-made structures. Amen!

The Time of the Gentiles had been jump started back then with the swooshing in of the Holy Spirit with the new the last and the final “New Covenant”.

We are those whom He speaks plainly to, and just to set the Eternal truths in context, the New Covenant era started with the first-fruits harvest from the cross, to extend to the completion of the elect in the final era. For this reason “the first shall be last and the last shall be first.” And as the obstacles become greater, so does the reward. That God rewards those who diligently seek Him”, especially in the face of the end times deceptions “with all lying signs and wonders if possible to deceive the Elect”. To mean that THAT deception is impossible, primarily because we heard the warnings and have accepted the challenge for a greater outcome. “To the degree you have attained? SO walk ye in it.” Amen!

This is The New Will and Testament about the distribution of the deceased mans goods to the heirs starting then. That we are heirs and joint heirs of the things of Christ in this way, apart from the dillusional seekers for a second coming. Christ death is our cross-over point into Eternal life. And only in this way “The Kingdom of God is at hand.” Amen!

To also mean that the four Gospel accounts are technically associated with the end of the Old Covenant era too. That the New started with the Crucifixion, the blood shed, and the death of Christ as our needed one time sacrifice and savior of the world, past present and future and all time.

That people only sin because they were born sinners, at least until their Adamic predisposition gets reversed from fallen, to be raised back up “in Christ” through faith in His name. His name means “Savior”. This is what it means to be born again, is to have the Adamic curse reversed to pick back up where Adam jumped the track at and went off course.

That as Adam fell in understanding, for there were no broken bones or bleeding. That we who are of the resurrection are raised back up in understanding in the same place and way it happened, in our thinking. Because the mind is where the fall took place, so too the resurrection.

To make the point that the New Covenant  to all the Gentile nations era started with the disciples who became Apostles by receiving the Holy Spirit to become the first fruits. They were told NOT to leave that Old Jerusalem “until you received the promise of the Holy Spirit of what you had heard from Me”, were the words of Christ to them.

It was the disciples not yet Apostles, were in the upper room behind closed doors and experienced the swoosh of the Holy Spirit, to “come down and to quote “remain upon them”. Then they started speaking in tongues from every language to signify the time of the Gentiles of all tribes languages and tongues. That the Law era was irrefutably over, for the time of the Gentiles to be in full swing, to be “from every tribe language and tongue”, to include Judea but just as another Gentile nation.

The New Covenant harvest time was in full swing. And that even the Jews could qualify, but ONLY as just another nation in the collection of the “Gentile nations”. Their Old Covenant privileges were as expired as the Law and the prophets. The New and final Covenant gave no preference of one nation over another. As a matter of fact they were told of that Jerusalem, that there would not be one stone left upon another that shall not be cast down.” This was to make the record straight. DO not be fooled by the modern day deception with all lying signs and wonders if possible to deceive the Elect.

So what started in the last (earthen) Jerusalem, and in the upper room, was that an exchange took place. That “old things having passed away, behold all things have become New and all things are from God. Hence “The Kingdom of God is at hand.” A phrase that had no relevance as long as the first covenant remained in effect. Even as we are taught in Galatians 3.16 Now to Abraham and his SEED (singular) were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds (plural as Jews), as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ (And we of the New Covenant are in Christ too as joint heirs of the things in Christ. Amen) 17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before (as pictured in Abraham) of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. 18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. 19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed (meaning Christ) would come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

Simply and irrefutably put. Amen!

So that us of “all Nations called Gentiles, in the time of the Gentiles are born again and borne from above and born of the Spirit during our time frame of the New Will and Covenant. Unless you disqualified yourself by believing in another coming one because what we have, is from the Spirit of Him who said “I will never leave you or forsake you.” And “Lo I am with you throughout the ages even to the end”. To mean He is here for us today in the same way as “at hand” for them who rejected Him who said it first. Who also said “I go to the Father and you see Me again no more.” At least in a carnal way.

It is this that the modern naysayers reject so as to find more comfort and solace in a second coming Jesus because they know that they are not saved. That just as Christ said “those who have seen Me have seen the Father”. He was NOT talking about carnal features but words and behaviors. For this Christ said “I and the Father are one”. To mean indistinguishable One from the Other. Even as Christ said, those who have seen Me has seen the Father, speaking of His Eternal self and not the flesh He became on our behalf, for us in turn to put on His body of truths as we espouse.

To mean one and the same, indistinguishable one from another.

That just as to be NOW one with and in Christ who said “I will never leave you or forsake you.” It is in the person of Christs Holy Spirit, of spirit and truth and the Kingdom at hand, that we are never left alone, without or forsaken because of these invisible truths that made the heavens and earth, but the truths surround us. For if there is any forsaking taking place it is by those who are ground bound and looking down at their circumstances in need of help! (let that sink in! Submitting to terms and conditions to whom?)

We who are “in Christ” are in Him in the way He was before”The Word become flesh and dwelt among us” WORD!. And as He calls us to Himself, we have to use the tools given to us to go to Him whose original construct is not the flesh. “For in the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God and the Word was God”. So that we who are cloaked in His words, are in perfect sanctification, and “the gods of this age that come cannot touch us”.

For this reason we had to be born again. That “flesh and blood does not inherit the Kingdom.” But the re-spirited mind of faith does and it does so just as succinctly, precisely and quickly as when Adam fell. In the proverbial blink of the eye, is how we are born again and borne of the spirit.

This is why Christ said that from that time on, that “The Kingdom of God is at hand.” To mean within reach in a proverbial sense. Not to mean it is not real, but that it is more real then the flesh because all flesh returns to dust, while those who are born from above, as being born again and borne by the spirit, can come and go at will. Even as scripture says that “The wind blows where it wishes. You can hear the sound of it but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the spirit.” So as not to confuse or try to mix flesh and spirit together. And so we don’t.

With these truths laid out as such, and with the book of the Revelation, to have it open, close and sealed with this next quotes, insure for us that, all of what has been written has been expired and played out to a tee. All of the book of The Revelation has been expired with the exception of Satan’s final deception that we are likely in today.

And whereas modern day Christians try to use the Book of “The Revelation” as a play book of things yet to come that they call end times. This is the end times “dillusion” with all lying signs and wonders, if possible to deceive the Elect”, that Jesus needs to reappear as in the days of old? Blasphemy! This is being exploited and played out by Satan, by him taking scripture out of context by re-using expired prophecies as though Jesus has a second coming for people to look forward to.

But go Look! The phrase “Second Coming is not found once in scripture. You have to deny the saving for us from the Christ the Savior as evidenced at the cross, to impose another coming as if His cross was insufficient to reverse the fall of Adam, of which we opened up with the fall as just having to do with the spirit of the mind. For there was no blood shed broken bones at the fall just a misconstrued way of thinking, as The Second Coming Savior seekers suppose.. And by them doing so, they set themselves in danger to Christs previous threats of damnation for those who “add to or take away from the prophecies of this book” as we can read and understand from the opening and closing portions of the last book in the canon of scripture, but lets read this warning from 2 Peter first who wrote “18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh (as those who want to save their flesh) and through much wantonness those who had clean escaped from those who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption; for by whom a man is overcome, by the same is he brought into bondage. 20 For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again (become) entangled therein to be overcome (again), the latter end is worse with them than in the beginning. 21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness (through the saving of the cross), than, after they had known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it has happened unto them according to the true proverb: “The dog turns to his own vomit again,” and, “the sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.” So too these go back to scripture over and over for another dose of saving so as to keep Christ on the cross, and in doing so never receive the finished works of Christ who said at  the cross “it is finished”, but you keep Him there for confessions sake?

And as far as the last book in the canon of Scripture, the book opens with “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly (quickly and 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 they that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep (all) those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

To mean within reach , being played out, happening and at hand, back when it was written. Showing us that what many call prophecy is really just expired History, as evidenced by the term “at hand”. That the Book of The Revelation opens with the events as happening to them as we just quoted, to then have the Book of the Revelation close similarly saying;

“6 And he said unto me, “These sayings are faithful and true,” and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show unto His servants the things which must shortly be done. 7 “Behold, I come quickly.” Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. 8 And I, John, saw these things and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things. 9 Then said he unto me, “See that thou do it not, for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them that keep the sayings of this book. Worship God!” 10 And he said unto me, “Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.

16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the Assembly’s. 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 those that heareth (us) 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. 20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

So then it is the first as last and the last are first in the harvest because they have had to brush off the dust of time and reassemble these truths in order for us to resemble the first fruit harvest, by us returning to “that which is from the beginning” and not an end time thing at all as many suppose. This is the gospel of truth which is quite different than the prominent “delusion with all lying signs and wonders”. The “delusion” is a hybrid word from illusion and dilute. It is the dilution of truth through time and translations that gives way to the delusion. But it is Gods Word and Gods Holy Spirit in us that still prev-ales. Gods words are eternally true for us who have awakened and risen up from the Adamic sleep as some call death as being dead and asleep to the Eternal reality that God is ubiquitous and need no formal introduction, other than we who believe we are in Christ who is in the Fathers, in Spirit and truth and time eternal. That there is nothing hidden from His sight. That all things are open and exposed in the sight of Him with whom we have to do. Amen
