John in his book called the Revelation of Jesus Christ, not revelations but Revelation singular, goes on to describe our Lord in His heavenly Glory. “Grace and peace from Him who was and is and is to come”. Not to become as though He is not yet, but being the same yesterday today and forever He is a coming one meaning a constant coming each and every earthly day for He cannot be isolated to a singular event in space in time as though He has limitations as everything of the creation of time and matter has because He is the faithful and true witness being 100% reliable anytime and all the time eternally the same not waning or fading but constantly and always equally there and reliably for ever saying “come to the feast prepared for you from before the foundation of the world, the place that was before I ever spake a word to create for the Kingdom of God is at hand. To the heavenly voice that calls us.
It was John the apostle who said he was in the Lord’s day for the testimony of Jesus Christ, showing us that we too can be in the spirit on the Lords day. Not a 24 hour day but the day which has no beginning or end which needs no sun for the Lamb, being the death and blood of Jesus, is the light and not another as though He is not yet but must become as though He has limitations. And it is He who is in the midst of the throne of God calling the shots in all power and authority His possession. This Lords day, Thee day like no other day that all other days faintly resemble. Thee day that already was in full splendor and glory for it is the origination of all such attributes the place from which the voice of God calls us to Himself, this we can behold.
I see Him in the place of time and matter of this creation like Ezekiel who explained of a cloud enfolding from the north. This engulfing cloud that has been gathering and scattering with a mighty wind of God, are His breath and spirit. Him in whom is no variableness nor shadow of turning is the calm in the midst of the storm.This storm that all other earthly storms resemble slightly, whirls about all creation casting to the outer regions of ignorance and spiritual darkness all things that reject and scorn the testimony of His Son, and simultaneously gathers together to Himself the one who excepts the invitation. “Come to the wedding, the feast is now, and always ready” being as ready in any day and every day for it is not in the 24 hour day that mimics, but the eternal day that has no beginning or end.
This is The Lords Day. That which was from the beginning, that already is.
And He does not need a second coming Jesus to come and jump start this day as though it is an event in limbo and waiting or as though it is all together not yet and must must become or be completed, as though it must be constructed, because His word that said “Let there be” and it was, doesn’t work anymore, for this day is just beyond the veil of human understanding, meaning those limited to their carnal senses that only see in time and matter being ignorant of Him who whisks about at will all the time and any time for He is not of time as though He must wait in line anxiously ringing His hands like He were a man, but He is the Immortal, eternal, invisible, the only wise God.
The Kingdom of God is at hand, the proverbial stage is set. The trumpet blasts, Da-da-da-dah! The heavenly choir sings. The place of this gathering of non-elemental born again of the spirit beings not born of time and matter also whisk about at will (John 3.8) at the throne of God just outside of time and matter being “In Christ”. I see the Heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God, an inumerable company of angels general assemble, the collection of the first born and the spirits of just men made perfect. (Hebrews 12.22+) And with each age, the crowd grows the engulfing cloud draws to himself a thousand, and a thousand thousands and ten times ten thousand to behold this Glory. Even now the angels rejoice at every new soul who wakes up to this reality. Glory halleluyah.
I see this glorious ensemble of heavenly beings harmonizing and beautifying making sounds that man has not heard growing with each new addition when all the sudden the tone changes. It is as if the orchestra-tor is distracted and drops his sticks. Horns start to blow off key, bows on the violins break, gasps and shrieks are heard and everyone turns to see. Look what the cat drug in. The 21st century second coming believers come shuffling on stage, blowing on their corn whiskey bottles, raking their wash boards with their knuckles, playing their Jews harps and slapping their knees singing “He”ll be coming around the mountain when he comes”. They are dancing to a different tune.
