Nicodemus said I know that you are a teacher come from God for no man can do what you have done and this is the first recognition for one to be born again that Christ had come from God the father. That Christ was the pre-existent word who became flesh and dwelt among us. (John 1) That there was something other worldly about this man. To this Jesus explained that “you must be born again to see the kingdom of God”. Some see this as a 2nd coming concept.

We need to make a distinction between that which was made by God and that which came forth by God. That there are two creations. One of time and matter and one without time having no beginning and no end being of design without origin. The creation that was not created.

The man Jesus then goes through clearly communicating the difference between the two elements saying “that which is flesh is flesh, that which is Spirit is spirit”. And the main point that needs to be made here is that the Lord from the Old Testament is the same one as the man today commonly called Jesus. He was in the beginning at the place not created as though it at some point had not been.For even before He put on humanity he was God’s representative to man. Him even then. This is the pre-existent one, “He who came forth from heaven” who is “the same yesterday today and forever”.

It is written that “no one has seen God at any time? But the Son declares Him”. It was the Son of God Abraham saw and called Him Lord. (Genesis 18) As Jesus said Abraham rejoiced to see My day. He saw it and was glad”.

Abraham saw something the 2nd coming seekers die or wait to be raptured to see. Which is? God the Son. Abraham called Him Lord. He saw the Son and called Him Lord. And experienced “The day of the Lord”. Abraham saw it and was glad. The original day. The day all other days mimic. Not a 24 hour day but the day that has no beginning or end. Where there is no need for the sun because the Lamb of God is the light” The Lamb that comes into the world to save the world. The Lamb slain from the foundations of the world. And He did. A 2nd Jesus is the wrong Jesus. This is He who said “whoever believes in me has eternal life”? So we do.

This man in a human body had His existence before time when it was said “let there be light!… It was there that the Word had dwelled pre incarnate. Before the beginning the Word of God and the mind of God were one without being spoken. Both pre-creation. This is the place we are called. “Come up hither!” The word of God carries the will of the Father. The Word of God is the will of God manifest. And the will of God is salvation for His offspring. This age produces offspring.

The Son declared the Father. The Son returned to the Father and “you see Him again no more” John 16.8 This is the “follow me that where I am you may be also. Christ returned there for us to “follow me that where I am you may be also”. So we do. And this is the purpose of the Gospel. God the Father saying “my Word shall return to Me void but shall accomplish all that I desire ” And that is? “You shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace”. This is the Gospel of Salvation. And salvation is the restoration to the Father. To be “begat by the word of truth to be a kind of first fruits of His creation”. Through the gospel and implimented through faith to the invisible.

The calling is to Him as we put on word. As we keep these things the Son comes to us and manifests invisibility. We except them as they are we keep the words. They come to us and make their home in us and the gospel is complete. This is our gathering together to Him and not a carnal fest through a 7 year tribulation as some suppose.

In this way salvation is complete as it says in 1 Peter 1 “receiving the end of your faith the salvation of your soul “. Yep. No carnal transfiguration but the renewal of the mind. In this way we have the mind of Christ. God Himself. They are one and the same.

So as you are in the word you receive the word. The word is tried. If you keep the word in the fire? You keep the word. You obtain the very attributes of God defined as invisible. You become Christ-like. In this way you are perfected. No second coming carnal Jesus involved. You see Him as He is. Not with the carnal eye for “no man has seen God at any time, but the Son declares Him”. The Son is the word we receive and keep saying “if you receive my words and My words abide in you, We will come to you and make our home in you. And this is the new you. Just like Christ. Not the man, but the Word

The exact duplicate of the Father.

Jesus Christ said to Nicodemus we speak what we have seen and testify of what we ever heard this is he who came forth from God who is speaking of heavenly glories he testified of God the Father himself him and his father are one his father that is in him does the work so in Christ as we speak he was referring to the plurality of God in the unity of God and this is the unity we are called to in the gospel so we two can say we speak of what we have seen and testify to what we have heard

We speak of what we hear and testify to what we’ve seen and these things are heavenly glory is not seen with human eyes or ears in the we part is solidarity with God and this is the Gospel message in this is what Adam lost and this is what we get back through the gospel and not a second coming for he is the low I am with you always even unto the end of the age this is he who is the same yesterday today and forever in this is he who is the same Lord as the disciples walk worth as Abraham walk with and as all the prophets testify to.

The Kingdom of God is at Hand
