The Resurrection Verses The Acension.
This may seem to be a needless clarification, but in truth even in scripture it is hard to tell.
There are a couple things going on here, of which have to do with misunderstandings. Some may have to do with lack of insight from early believers and others have to do with where the writer/ translator was in their journey of faith. That the whole idea of “going up to Jerusalem was similar to Moses going up Mt Sinai. Heavenly Jerusalem is the object of the New Testsment as the acquisition of the promises of God were the acquisition of the Old Covenant. The Covenant was an agreement between two parties whereas a Testsment is the distribution of the estate upon the death of the testator. That when the death happens (as with the cross) the opening of the Will and Testsment, along with the distribution to the Heirs happens. In our case, in one in our own order of existence. To mean that God the Father is not waiting for all the Heirs to die to receive their inheritance. But that as we grow in understanding, in the spirit of our minds is where we receive our inheritance. To be “renewed in the Spirit of our minds, which is where Adam died because he walked away from that wreckage being spiritually dead to the things of God. Tge fall of Adam was rectified with the resurrection of Christ, the last Adam. We once knew Christ according to the flesh, but henceforth know we Him that way no more. And do as to proove a point, how is it that Paul can say we are raised up together in Christ, seated far above all principalities and powers” unless it is true that the gift given in Christ not only erases Adam’s curse, but also includes the full package beyond the scope of the fall to include the Dispensation of the inheritance. Thstwe are joint Heirs of the Kingdom of God. And how can we prove thus? Because not only go forth teaching, but sent out His first believers to fo the same thing. And that is? That “The Kingdom of God is at hand. And this seems contrary to commonly held views today. And this all has to do with the interpreters so that if we take the times that resurrection is used in scripture, if it has to do with baptism, that has to do with a new birth. And since Christ’s Baptism from John was the witness if a spiritual birth because the Holy Spirit was seen descending like a dove, to remain, (essentially eternally) eternally as having to do with Christ’s Wedding. If this was NOT true, John would not have said “Ajd I saw the Spirit descend (come down) upon Him like a dove. That the Bride is with The Bridegroom, therefore my joy (and purpose) is complete. They must increase but I must decrease. ” Enter NOT The New Covenant, but The New Will and Testsment. And fiery those who are birn again? These are your parents. So that you are borne of the Spirit too, to mean “Heavenly Jerusalem, the Mother of us all.
That is the difference between the Resurrection and the Ascention. So that when you read of those raised up or reserected, you have to determine if it is from the dead? Or up to “Heavenly places in Christ”. This is why we “reach out to lay hold of why Christ laid hold of us.” And to “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” Lest you too be judged fir being a sloth full or wayward steward of the things of God. Remember the parable (meaning a story) of tge Bride and thf Bridegroom? That there were those who went in while the doors were open. And there were those who went to the world to aquire their accruments for the wedding. And when they came back with their carnal views were still in tact, to here the voice say ” department from Me you who work inequity for you are not mindful of My things but you are mindful of the things of man” being carnal. And if you are also a believer in a second coming? You are likely double dawned because the term “second coming” is not found once in scripture. For “that which is flesh us flesh and that which is Spirit is Spirit. The Ascention is a Spiritusl work. That “the wind blows where it wishes, so do those who are born again, who are borne about by the Spirit. You may say where? To Heavenly places in Christ.
This is the reason Paul in Roman’s can be confusing, because he only taught of how resurrection from the dead. To then go back and dabble in the law era believers saying he wished he was a cursed on behalf of his countrymen who went about to be justified by law. Who taught later that because the law was added till faith came. And what came by faith was this understanding. That “faith is the things we hope fir, the evidence of the things we cannot see” are more real then you can see because “all the earth and all its works shall be burned for the Eternal to remain, (without competition). Becour inheritance is “thst which was and is and is to come”? Can only be eternal, whereas “that which was not, yet is, must go into perfition.” What might thst be? The creation of the first 6 days. And it is not that we just enter His rest because a rest means a reprieve, and a reprieve means a rest to mean it turns on and off. But the eighth day is the New Creation. And NIT thst it is new as never having been before. But it is Eternally new in a never fading illustriousness and forever new. And this is called,
The Kingdom of God at hand, as spoken directly following the Marriage Ceremony of The Lamb of God and His Bride. He is the last Adam and creation restored. That Adam and Eve were God’s creation, the earth and all its works? Are just the platform. Those who are birn agand borne of the Spirit? And “borne from above”? These are “fellow citizens, saints and members of the household of God. If you got this? Welcome home and sit down. Yes! Seated far above all powers and principalities on Heavenly places in Christ. Of this was not true? We could not explain it to you.
So now you can see the expiration of the Book of The 1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants (an Old Covenat term) things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified 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. 3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time AT HAND.
And sinse She is The Mother of us all, She has to be Eternal as well, which is in standing with each one according to their own kind” as with the creation account of kind begets kind.
