The New Creation is not new in the sense of being just made. It is new in the sense of never getting old. In this place time as we know it has no value or effect. For time is a measurement of the “getting old creation”. The one of the big bang of time and matter.

God created man in His image; male and female. God chose to display His hidden attributes in the male and female as they came together. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his bride.
We know from the creation account that God spoke. When God spoke His Word came forth. When God spoke His Breath/Spirit came forth. The Father, being the source, then the Son and Spirit. The Spirit brooded over the face of the waters. Not that one was lessor or greater than the other, but different in purpose, being equally God with all the attributes, displaying complimentary characteristics.
It was said of Christ that He declared the Father. He said, “If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father.” It was necessary that Christ was also the fullness of the Father, His completeness, as scripture says, and that if He was the fullness of the Father, He had to be male and female.
For Christ to appropriately display the fullness of God, and He did, for in Him dwelleth the fullness of the Godhead, He had to display the same attributes as the Father before it was said He made male and female to display His likeness, before this split.
How did Christ on earth do this? The first creation started with the Word and the Spirit leaving the mouth of God, and they split as they departed. The Word creates, the Spirit incubates. This is what happens inside us when we receive them; the Word and Spirit. The new creation we become occurs when the Word and the Spirit become one again. We can catch a glimpse of this phenomenon in other unions or marriages. We call this the procreation of a species. The two becoming one and begetting according to their own likeness, be it a mammal or a fish or a reptile. You get the picture.
In heavenly terms, this is what is referred to as the Wedding banquet that we are invited to. It is the coming together to be one in the Holy Word and the Holy Spirit, the true union. This has to take place before there are any offspring. This is the union that takes place in the heart of believers when they accept Christ and The Holy Spirit.
How and when did Christ on earth display the Father in both male and female? It was at His baptism that Christ received the Holy Spirit, thereby fulfilling all righteousness. It was at that time the Father said this is my beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased. https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Matthew-3-17/ God the Father could only be pleased if the Son were a true chip off the ol’ block, correctly displaying who He was from before the beginning, before His Word and Spirit went forth.
The first creation started with the split. God divided light and dark. earth and sky, land from water, etc. But more importantly, when the Word and the Spirit come back together, being united, or wed, or married, this was the union of the new creation. God Says, For my Word will not return to me void but shall accomplish all that I desire https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/search.php?. What is it that God desires? That we shall go out (birthed) with joy, and be led forth with peace. We are those born of that union, the union of the Word and Spirit, reunited to procreate true images of that union born in His likeness, in His fullness. We receive the engrafted Word, and are begotten by the Word of truth to be a kind (kind begets kind) of first fruits of His creation. Male and female made He them in His likeness. From the book of John, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, that which is born of the Spirit is spirit, you must be born again.” This is pretty radical if you can grasp what we are saying.
So back to Christ’s baptism for a fuller explanation. The Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove and remained upon Him. The Spirit was given to the Son without measure. They received of each other’s fullness.
John the Baptizer knew this, and knew this was his purpose. “Make straight paths the way of the Lord” he said.
John the Baptist did not know Him but was told, “Upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon, THIS IS HE! I have seen and testify that truly this is the Son of God.”
But it doesn’t stop here. John made an even more radical remark when his disciples were asking about this Christ man. They asked, “Who is He whom you testified of back at the Jordan?” John then replied in present tense. Meaning then! Not later. He said, “He who Has the Bride is the Bridegroom, but the friend [John meaning himself] of the Bridegroom, who stands and hears Him, rejoices greatly because of the Bridegrooms voice.” That is why this joy of mine is full. And from the Greek, THEY must increase but I must decrease, THEY who come from above are above all. That is the two in one, the Word and the Spirit. As Christ said to Nicodemus “WE speak what WE know and testify what WE have see and you do not receive OUR testimony”. How about you?
If you are still here, without any further adieu, may we introduce to you “The Bride and Groom. The Word and the Spirit. For John did not talk about THEM as engaged, or as though THEY would be married on a future date, or the soon to be or THEY would have been called fiance. He said “He who has the Bride is the Bridegroom”. This is an introduction only for the newly weds and completely in-appropriate for the un-wed couple. Stay with us for there is more.
The baptism of Christ was necessary “to fulfill all righteousness”. To accomplish the full task and purpose of the Son on earth. To Accomplish all! For the Word and the Spirit to come together to have offspring. That is those born of Word and Spirit. Which is us! If you believe. And if this is not the truth, and the wedding has not taken place, then those who claim to be born again are born out of wed lock. Then we would all be born from pre-marriage fornication, we would be bastards.
If you are waiting to see a future wedding, you are walking by sight using the reason of your carnal mind as it relates to the physical senses. For “He is the God who calls things that do not exist as though they do”, because they really do where it counts. In Spirit and truth. This is a message for those who are “called out”, which comes from the Greek word Eklisia, the word translated Church. The “called out” of the world. To be be called into. And the into is “In Christ”. This mystery and many more are “in Him”. Which is where “all the hidden treasures of God are”. Be it a mystery or a revelation, be it the Spirit or the body.
None of these are realities to the human senses. Kind begets kind and kind associates with kind and ye must be born of the spirit to associate with us.
If you have stayed with us this far you are of this kind. If this is the first time you have seen and accepted this the Bride and the Bridegroom, Welcome home.
We will explore this new creation in greater depth. What is the new creation? For those who believe, it is you, it is Him, it is us, it is Them. This is how we put Them on. It Is now, He is now, the Kingdom of God is at hand! The King, the Queen, the City, and His government. If this was not true you would have a King without a kingdom. And what is a King without a kingdom? What is a judge without a court? What is a husband without a wife? He is or He isn’t. Check mate. The true King is always standing.

I know you know these things but it’s good to keep it fresh.
Col 1.13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the Kingdom of His Son.
2 Pet 1.3 His divine power has given us everything that pertains to life and godliness.
2 Pet 1.4 We are partakers of the divine nature having escaped the corruption of the world.
These are all past tense.
Since we have these things our spirit is already where our body wants to go, but our body will never go there.
He has (already) qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance. We don’t need another day.
We are a digit, A singularity, a human, defined as a person in place and time. This is our old nature. It was Christ who became a man for us to become like Him. We knew Him once as a man, a digit, a singularity, but henceforth know we Him like that no more. He is no longer a singularity and if anyone is “in Christ†they are no longer constricted to their old humanity, but are a “new creation†in His image, being ubiquitous. Not being restricted to this creation of time and space. God is spirit and He seeks those to worship Him in spirit and truth.
So being “in Christâ€, “in the Spiritâ€, we have been quickened, we have been translated, we have been Raptured, we are where flesh and blood cannot go. This is why we “know no man, who is a believer, after the flesh†being a digit, a human. “For we have this treasure in earthen vessels for the excellence and the Glory is of God and not our digit. And since we are “in Christâ€, “in the Spiritâ€, we too are partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light right now. Col 1.12
Our carnal desire is to be with Christ in our bodies but this can never be. Flesh and blood does not and cannot inherit the Kingdom and this body does not go there. It is not for the physical eye or the physical ear.
If we were Raptured, or taken away from this world in our current condition, we would freeze in our current condition. “Let him who is unjust be unjust still he who is filthy let him be filthy still, he who is righteous let him be righteous still, he who is holy let him be holy still†Rev 22.11. God would have to re-create the same current earthly conditions to finish His work in us. That is why we are here.
This is why eschatology and end times fascinations can be dangerous by being an escape from the greater work God wants to do in us now. Eschatology focuses on and speaks of another day and derails the work of the Holy Spirit now. Today! If you hear His voice. For there remains a rest for the people of God.
If anything is unfruitful, it is a teaching to the body of Christ that morphs with every new fear, to keep people spiritually paralyzed and focused on that and not real growth. Who does that sound like? I mean Nibiru? Blood moons? What will they think of next? These are carnal fascinations with no eternal fruit.
So why do we need a rapture? To be saved? To be delivered from this evil world? To be quickened? To be translated? This has already happened if you are “in Christâ€. And if you are already in His will, why would you want to go somewhere else?
What shall separate us from the love of God “in Christ†Jesus? Height? Depth? Government powers? Demonic principalities? A sword? A famine? Martial law? Through all these we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
As in Daniel there were 3 men threatened with fire, and their reply? God is able to deliver us from the fire, but even if He doesn’t I will not worship your image. It was in the fire where the forth man was seen. We know who He was. Fear not these end time images they present for they will expire and they will present another. We are where we need to be. In Him.

The interpreters of the book of John used great liberality to defend their understanding of the Godhead they call the “trinity”. They homogenized the various terms and Greek words, like “autos” which means self, “that one” and ‘they”. These gender neutral terms are all brought forth into English and capitalized into the male words “He” and “Him”. These words they applied to verses that described the Holy Spirit, the helper, the comforter, our other parent, so that we are not left to be orphans. I sure hope He doesn’t share this task with another male.
These gender neutral words should have been interpretated as female. Below is how those passages would read if they knew the Holy Spirit, whom “the world cannot receive for they do not see her or know her. But she will be with you and in you.” That is where you see Her.
Christ said in John 14.16 I will pray the Father and He will give you another comforter, my helper, (helpmate) that She may abide with you forever 17. the Spirit of truth whom those of the world (of the carnal mind) cannot receive. because it neither sees Her or knows Her, for She dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans, meaning without a parent. (And He wasn’t talking about the Father)
25 these things I spoke while being present with you 26 however My Help mate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name (who shared My name as being wed to Me), She will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all things that I have said to you. (She will nurture you.)
26. but when the Help mate comes whom I shall send to you from the Father, She will testify of Me. (And verify who I am and who We are)
15.5 But now I (the Son) go away to Him (the Father) who sent me, 7. nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, My Help mate will not come to you, but if I depart I will send Her to you. 8. And when She has come, She will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement.
(His Help mate is clearly not the father either, but the third person of the Godhead of which the Father said from the beginning “So God made man in His image, male and female made He Them.)

Abraham the father of the elect himself was a picture of God the Father, our Father who is in heaven. The one who ‘made man in His image male and female made He them”. Abraham and Sarah are pictures of our invisible parents.
Abraham broken down in three parts from the Hebrew concordance.
Ab, means father.
Ah is derived from Eve and is female. Eve in Hebrew is Chavah and pronounced havah. Meaning female inside out. If you understand Eve, or Chavah was the one protected inside the man. That a deep sleep was put on Adam to have her extracted, the one His rib, then you can understand that she was in Him, then turned inside out. That man being made in the likeness of God, male and female made He them in His image. That it was the female that portrays the Holy Spirit.
So then Abrah=father and mother. That leaves us to understand ham, the last syllable in the name Abraham. That the “ah” from Havah was added.
Ham or Cham, once again the c like in Chavah is silent, and means “tropical habitat, or Paradise. This name is patronymic meaning: a name derived from the name of a father. This would be Jesus, or rather Yeshuah corrected from the Hebrew. Yeshuah derived from the father, who came from the father, in the name of the father means Ab-ah, or Abba
So we see the three components of the Godhead body in the Name Abraham. It is interesting that Abram was tested and his new name was given, showing God’s female we call Ah, was in Him. Hence Abr-ah-ham. The same with saria became Sar-ah. You can see this pattern throughout names in the Hebrew script as well as El. The El comes from the Aramaic and symbolizes a similar transition of charecter in the recipient. As it was said of Jesus/Jeshua, EmmanuEL, meaning God is with us. You get the picture.
The Lord in the beginning brought forth Eve from Adam. She was in Adam and from Adam. God brought her out to display distinguished complimentary characteristics of Himself in the first parents. Eve was Adams hidden insides brought out or made visible for us to understand our heavenly Father being displayed in two parts male and female. As He said in the beginning “let us make man in our likeness male and female”.
This image takes on more light in Abraham when The Lord said that from him would come the seed, and Hagar with Ishmael did not count. Abraham’s seed was in his hidden self, the one he was covenanted with in marriage, Sarah. Sarah was  hidden in him. She was identified as in Abraham’s tent.  Abram gave seed to Hagar, but technically and spiritually she was not one with him. Hagar was of Abram’s work of his flesh but Sarah was of a promise by an invisible word, of the spirit. This one shall come forth from you. He meant Sarah.
Isaiah 51 brings this into view. “Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek the Lord; Look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which you were dug. Look to Abraham your father and to Sarah who bore you.
He directs you not to Abram and Sarai but to Abraham and Sarah after the name change they portrayed  our parents, but were they? In a sense being the father of faith but more so in the sense of being a type, a picture or a model of God Himself. Abraham means “father of a multitudeâ€. God is really our Father and not Abraham.
Paul expounded on this in Galatians referring to Hagar as being in bondage to the earths elements being a visible city bound by time matter itself, but the invisible city which is Heavenly Jerusalem, who is free the mother of us all. As Isaiah put it “Sarah who bore youâ€.
We being born by the Word of God and the Spirit of God are not born out from a woman like from Eve who was visible, to come into being from an invisible place called the womb, to live in  a visible place called earth, but keeping in contrasts, we are born from the visible to the invisible. We are born into the Spirit, into Christ. Just as Sarah was in Abraham’s tent,  and Eve was the rib in Adam, so too the Holy Spirit is hidden in Christ. This is the one the world cannot receive because it neither sees her or knows Her.  The one Christ said I will not leave you orphans, I will send you my helper and I don’t believe He meant another male. It was Adam and Eve pictured not Jesus and Steve.
As the Spirit is in Christ so too are all born of that union. We too are hid in Christ. That when He is revealed we shall be seen with Him in Glory. The earth itself will be delivered from corruption to the glorious liberty the sons have already experienced.
There you have the two births. Nicodemus asked how can this be? Of this being born from above and Christ  said “If I tell you earthly things and you don’t understand, how can I tell you heavenly/invisible things? Nicodemus should have known Abraham and Sarah as family pictures, as Paul did. He understood allegories, so can we.
Once again the prophesies and pictures point to, and have their fulfillment in the eternal. Explaining eternal unseen realities. As we understand these realities we can enter.
Something to enhance your study of the scriptures and understanding our parents, “male and female made He themâ€. Abram had his name changed to AbrAHam, Sarai to SarAH It was at the name change when they recieved the Spirit and the child of promise was birthed. AH is feminine. Watch the “AHâ€. RebekAH, HannAH. You get the picture.
Another common thread is that all the fathers of faith married their sister be it Abraham, Isaac Jacob and even Moses. This is because not only is the Holy spirit Christ’s wife  but she is also a sister because they display the Father in two parts sharing their origin. They likewise share the same destination going back to the Father the Bride and Groom now being Parents of all those born of the Spirit. To be eternal, having the gift of eternal life our parents have to be eternal. For more on this read the other articles on the Plurality of God.
Abraham in Egypt  referred to his wife as his sister and she was, but it wasn’t until Pharaoh recognized her as his wife and restored her to him that his kingdom was able to have children.
These truths we are talking about brings further understanding to when the 2 faceless angels went down to Sodom. The men of the city wanted Lot to bring them out so that they could know the angels carnally. Meaning with their physical senses. They wanted to define them in this creation of time and matter. Â This was despicable to the two angels and itself is spiritual fornication.
This is as it says in Revelation 11.8 the great city which is spiritually called Sodom where the Lord was slain. They want to know Him carnally. The representatives /angels of God being the word and the Spirit, the Bride and Groom.  Again from Revelation 18.23 and Jeremiah 7.34,16.9, and 25.10 that “no more in you will be heard the voice of the Bride and the Bridegroom. The voice of the parents of the new creation. Let the just be just and the unjust be unjust still.
In Sodom they reached out and pulled Lot in. They struck the men with great blindness so that they could not find the door. Is this not like the end time seekers who  are blind to the door to the Kingdom at Hand right now? It is so close yet so far away for it does not come with observation but is inside. But They want to know Christ as a man king, and the spirit/Bride as a physical reality at a place where time and matter intersect that they call Jerusalem. This is knowing God carnally and completely misunderstanding Him. It is the sin of Sodom, spiritual blindness and wearying themselves trying to find the door.  This is why their story changes with every new wind. But we who know Him who is true and Faithful…
To the immortal invisible who alone dwells in unapproachable light whom no man has seen or can see. 1st Timothy 6.16
In 1st Peter 3 the women are taught  to let their beauty not be the outward adorning, but let it be the hidden person of the heart. And that is what the Holy Spirit is. The hidden person in the heart of Christ.
The Holy Spirit is the Bride, the wife and the Holy City. As in Jeremiahs day and described in Revelation, of the Voice of the Bride and the Groom. They say come. And, While it is called today, today if you will hear His voice, male and female made He them. Word and Spirit. Even with us our word goes nowhere without our breath/spirit. The two are one/ Echad and we are one in them in Him, that which is from the beginning which we have seen and we have heard we declare unto you that you may have fellowship with us and with the Father and Jesus Christ the righteous in whom is hidden the spirit.
Blessings

Simply put the Bride becomes a city in our understanding, realizing that which already was. We become citizens. Like Christ becomes a King in our understanding but He already was for they are unchangeable.
The Bride is eternal and the third person of the trinity. We are born of the Spirit and of the Word/DNA. Our citizenship is heaven (Phil 3.20) When you see this She will come up every where in scripture. But we must plant it in the spirit to reap the spirit and be raised in our understanding. The carnal mind is enmity against God and rejects this. It has to be spiritually discerned, or assimilated.
As Abraham portrays the father of all, his wife portrays the mother of us all. Isaiah 51.2 “Look to Abraham your father and Sarah who bore you”. Not that they were our parents but they portrayed our heavenly parents. She was the barren persecuted by the one with child, Hagar, inferring to the law culture. (Galatians 4) Yes Jerusalem of the earth had her day but we are from the one who was barren, the one of promise, of faith. As seen in Sarah, Rebekah, Hannah, you get the picture. These are all shadows of Heavenly Jerusalem the mother of us all. (Gal 4.26-27) Jerusalem above is the mother of us all. As it is written; rejoice oh Barren, you who did not bear, break forth and shout you who did not travail, (not having the curse of Eve) for the desolate has many more children.
The old covenant mother was earthly Jerusalem in bondage to time and matter. The new covenant Mother is Heavenly, spiritual, and free. That which is born of the flesh is flesh but the spirit renders spiritual beings. These are invisible, hidden “in Christ”as is She. The hidden person of His heart.
The City of God is as eternal as the Son and the Father. She is not becoming anything She already wasn’t. As Christ is the same yesterday today and forever so is She. Just as Christ didn’t have to become something for His sake but ours, so too with Her.
It is our understanding that becomes clear to those who are led by Revelations. That is why she is seen as the final revelation in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. But She already is our mother. Ss Christ said “another Helper” not Himself, not the Father. (see articles on Ekienos)
Here is a truth to help us understand this better. Our new citizenship is from Heaven and is not accessible to our human body. In Zechariah 3 the Lord said of Joshua the high priest; Take away his filthy garments, see I have removed your iniquity from you. He was then clothed in rich robes. The robe of righteousness.
This refers to our inheritance eternal in the heavens. And as we put this on by faith, we get “a place within My house and My courts, says the Lord. I will give you a place among those who walk here”. We have received it, meaning Her. This is the same as Hebrews 12.22 “you have (already) come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to the feast gathering, and ekklesia of the firstborn. To the spirits of just men made perfect.” This have all His saints and holy ones, two terms that mean invisible.
There is nothing you cannot bury by faith. Paul counts all thingd as dung. Put it behind you that you may become the unleavened loaf.
The Kingdom at hand Has the King of kings in the City of cities. The one whom all others are modeled after.
The Kingdom of God is at hand!

We see historically Jerusalem as the place where the Israelite’s gathered to celebrate the feasts and perform the sacrifices. Jerusalem means city of peace, or city of Shalom. Strong’s concordance connects shalom, with who we know as King Solomon. Solomon means peace. JeruShalom was the city of Solomon. Solomon was the physical representation of the son of David.
We know Christ is the real object of the son of David prophesy because all the gospels refer to Christ as the son of David. Solomon was an earthly fulfillment but he was not eternal so Solomon could not have been what God was referring to with the promise of “your son will build me a house for my name”, 2 Sam 7.13+16.
And this house was the center of the city. It was this city Yerûshâlaim (corrected to Hebrew) that all believers would come at the appointed times to celebrate the feast’s with the sacrifices and rest on the Sabbath. This is what Yahweh meant in Due 12. The Israelite’s having come out of Egypt were told by God to seek the place of the 12 tribes where Yahweh puts His name. It was in this place that the sacrifices would be performed, where they would rejoice and where His rest for them would be.
Jesus comes from the Greek name Joshua, which comes from the Hebrew yehôshûa, and the name means Yah-saved and he brings into the land as promised, meaning the place where the promises are fulfilled.
Now after the land was split up between the tribes they went back to war. In other words coming into that land was not the literal fulfillment of the promise or they would have no wars. They would be at rest. But the Holy Spirit was indicating to them and us, that the promise was not literal. see Hebrews 4.8 .
With this in mind we look at Solomon in the same light. The promise is not literal. If Solomon was the literal fulfillment he would still be alive and reigning in Jerusalem. The people got that and spoke of Christ saying “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord”.
A question then arises. Does Yahweh put His name on a land or a people or a person?
The old covenant picture was the city. All the sacrifices and the feast’s were in the city. The city was in the land. And from Heb 1.1 god spoke at appointed times in various ways in times past to the fathers, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son. Meaning God communicated to them through these various ways but now the Son supersedes the pictures of something eternal, and brings you into the Eternal saying “The Kingdom of God is at hand”, an invitation still in effect at the time of this writing.
As Christ said “I will no longer speak to you in parables but I will tell you plainly about the Father”. What the land, the city, the sacrifices and the feast’s had taught about God, are now manifest by the son. Meaning, He brings the real deal.
When Moses first saw the Lord he was told “Take your sandals off for where you stand is holy ground”. Then he was instructed to make the things he saw on that mountain that was holy ground. This is where the blueprints and the calendar was obtained for the old covenant.
The whole purpose of the old covenant was to bring a certain people with a certain language to the place to worship God, in a certain land at a certain city on certain days with certain activities. This is very pinpointed and specific, to the law and the Jerusalem back then.
With Christ, John the Baptist said “it is He who comes after me who was preferred before me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to unloose”.
Instead of taking off sandals like Moses because the ground was holy, this time it was the man that was holy. Don’t touch his sandals. This marked the start of the new covenant. The promises of God were no longer at a certain place on a certain day but a certain person. This is the true place where God put His name, is not a land or a city like the old covenant, but a man, the Son.
Paul says that all the promises of God in Christ are yes and amen. That “in Christ” the promises dwell. All eyes were on the land and the city, are now should be on the Son. We can see that the Holy Spirit indicated that the land was not of this age, that the Son was not of this age. Does it seem strange that the land is not of this age? That the Son is not of this age? It is not the land that is Holy but the true son with Holy sandals He is Holy, and those who are “In Christ” are in the true land where the promises have their reality.
If the “holy land” has been replaced by the son who is Holy and those who were pictured “in the land” were just learning how to live “in Christ”, meaning the same thing. The same way those who honored King Solomon were learning to honor Christ as the real King.
Earthly Jerusalem or JeruShalom was given a king Sholom/Solomon. The city wears his name. We bear the name of Christ. We are of his city, we are a royal generation, a holy people. Why? Not because we are in a holy land, for that is an oxymoron but we by faith are in true Holiness or Holy land “in the Son” who has the Name, who sanctified all of this by His blood. He sanctified a people not a place.
So who are the citizens? John 1.13 those born not man or flesh but of God. Who then is the Jew? Rom 2.28 the jew is not the outward appearance but the inward circumcision of the heart.
Where then is Israel? Gal 6.15-16 “in Christ”. The only thing that matters is the new creation, as many as walk by this rule, peace, or Shalome be upon them, upon the true Israel of God.” Amen
It has never been about land and lavished buildings and extravagant festivities. These were all tutors to bring us to faith. To understand their eternal counterpart. (Galatians 4)
In this way, The Kingdom of God is at hand. Amen!

1 Peter 4.1 Therefor since Christ suffered in the flesh arm yourself with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin.
It does not say arm your body, or kill your body but arm your mind. It is here we find the gift, for Christ by the grace of God has tasted death for every man, especially those who believe. The question then is if we arm our mind what happens to the sin? Isn’t God watching that? Having put off the flesh by faith we have to redefine sin.
In Zach 3 we see Joshua the high priest standing before God and Satan accusing him. The Lord rebuked Satan, then says of Joshua “Is this not a brand plucked from the fire? The Lord instructed those who stood by to remove the filthy garments and to cloth him in rich robes.
So then here is how we define sin now as it pertains to the clean conscience, the new man.
In Romans 14 Paul was talking about our freedoms when it comes to what day to worship, what foods to eat, what to drink and in general what is our mind set now that we are past sin according to law. Verse 22 do you have faith? And, Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. But he who doubts is condemned if he eats because he does not eat of faith, (and here is the key) for whatever is not of faith is sin.
Sin relates now to faith being actions in the mind as it pertains to the leading of God, verses the body carried away with cravings. If we understand as it says in Hebrews 11.6 that without faith it is impossible to please God, we learn that it is more important to follow His Spirit then to go back to law. We know if an external law helped, Christ would not have gone to the cross. This then is the struggle of the flesh, we would rather have a list of “thou shalt not” on the refrigerator than to follow the spirit. Then to follow the unction of the Spirit.
So then when Satan, ourselves or anybody accuses us and tries to put us on the defense and throw our minds into a whirlwind of apologizing, making excuses, and confessing we have an answer of a good conscience. This becomes the act of faith that pleases God. With Joshua the Lord had the sin removed and had him robed in fine linen and we do that by faith. This pleases God.
I do not taint my relationship with my heavenly Father by dwelling on sin in the flesh. It is an insult to the Spirit of grace. The sin factor is gone in the spirit, in the heavens and in our minds if our mind is set on the Spirit, the things that are above, This pleases God. We are unobstructed and unhindered, without excuse to relate to God. Let nothing come between you and that. When we hear correction from the heavenly voice we make the necessary adjustments in our walk and move on.
Back to 1 Peter we read that Satan is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same is being experienced by your brotherhood in the world.”
Here is the key. Are we “in Christ” or “in the world”? If we succumb to the accusations like Joshua, we have to ask ourselves are we in the flesh or in faith. For if you are in the flesh, you are in the world where Satan is active. If you are in the faith Satan’s words fall on deaf ears. God is not listening, He is not imputing. Why are we.
This is where we appropriate our faith and give God the Glory. Instead of apologizing for yet another short coming on our part, bless God because he paved the way once for all. This is faith and this pleases God. He really is not happy with continual apologies and confessions as though that keeps us clean like the continual sacrifices of old. He didn’t like that either. But he likes an answer of a clear conscience washed by the blood of the lamb. The accuser of the brethren is cast down when we do that. We are accounted as seated with Him in heavenly places. Far above all powers and principalities. The roaring lion becomes toothless road kill .
Here are a couple other verses that expand on this
Heb 10.1-22 with sin gone by faith, another act of faith is to enter the holiest of all by the blood of Christ.
John 17.15 Christ prayed not that we would be taken out of the world but that we would be protected from evil.
1 John 2.12-14 are the words that “you have overcome the wicked one’.
My work of faith is to follow the Holy Spirit. I do not glorify Satan for any of his mischievousness for he is limited to what God allows him. Like the serpent who was a staff in Moses hand, so is Satan in the hand of Christ, all power and authority having been given to Him. It is when I test the boundaries of the promise. To be in Christ by faith, or in the world. If I fill myself with the spirit and not the world satan stands no chance.

I have found it unfortunate that steps taken by the church fathers to protect their form of religion and to promote their doctrines have truncated the word and purpose of God.
Having seen the Holy Spirit in the bible as the comforter, another helper so you are not left orphans and as the gift given in place of Jerusalem, I decided to dig a little deeper and this is something I found to help me understand the 3rd person in the Godhead. The Wisdom Solomon knew is this person. Solomon,s name means “peace”. With Solomon as Davids son and king, with his wife and city Jerusalem, meaning city of peace. So you have the king of peace in the city of peace. But these were only pictures given to teach us about those whom we cannot see. So may we introduce to you “King Shaloman in Jerusalem-shalom. Same root words. This ones name is Wisdom.
Blessings
1.3Â For froward thoughts separate from God: and his power, when it is tried, reproveth the unwise.
4Â For into a malicious soul wisdom shall not enter; nor dwell in the body that is subject unto sin.
when unrighteousness cometh in.
13 She preventeth them that desire her, in making herself first known unto them.  John 14.17
14Â Whoso seeketh her early shall have no great travail: for he shall find her sitting at his doors.
17Â For the very true beginning of her is the desire of discipline; and the care of discipline is love;
19Â And incorruption maketh us near unto God:
20Â Therefore the desire of wisdom bringeth to a kingdom.
23Â Neither will I go with consuming envy; for such a man shall have no fellowship with wisdom.
7.6Â For all men have one entrance into life, and the like going out.
8Â I preferred her before sceptres and thrones, and esteemed riches nothing in comparison of her.
11Â All good things together came to me with her, and innumerable riches in her hands.
13Â I learned diligently, and do communicate her liberally: I do not hide her riches.
7
28Â For God loveth none but him that dwelleth with wisdom.
8.
1Â Wisdom reacheth from one end to another mightily: and sweetly doth she order all things.
4Â For she is privy to the mysteries of the knowledge of God, and a lover of his works.
6Â And if prudence work; who of all that are is a more cunning workman than she?
11Â I shall be found of a quick conceit in judgment, and shall be admired in the sight of great men.
14Â I shall set the people in order, and the nations shall be subject unto me.
19Â For I was a witty child, and had a good spirit.
20Â Yea rather, being good, I came into a body undefiled.
9.
1Â O God of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, who hast made all things with thy word,
4Â Give me wisdom, that sitteth by thy throne; and reject me not from among thy children:
7Â Thou hast chosen me to be a king of thy people, and a judge of thy sons and daughters:
17Â And thy counsel who hath known, except thou give wisdom, and send thy Holy Spirit from above?
10.
2Â And gave him power to rule all things.
9Â Rut wisdom delivered from pain those that attended upon her.
11Â In the covetousness of such as oppressed him she stood by him, and made him rich.
15Â She delivered the righteous people and blameless seed from the nation that oppressed them.
18Â Brought them through the Red sea, and led them through much water:
19Â But she drowned their enemies, and cast them up out of the bottom of the deep.
21Â For wisdom opened the mouth of the dumb, and made the tongues of them that cannot speak eloquent.

We are Pilgrims. Yes we have an eternal hope, which means we are on a heavenly journey. This journey is pictured in scripture as, going up to Zion and going up to Jerusalem. It is growing in the understanding and the internal likeness of our risen Lord.
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect (of which they acquired while they were in the flesh). 24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.”
25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, how much more shall we NOT escape, if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, 26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” 27 Now this, “Yet once more”, indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.” So we should know what composition to expect.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear (not to be mistaken for an Adam like, self preserving fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire.”
Now we will see that the mindset of pilgrimage is a key to the kingdom now, by faith, from Psalms 84.5-7
Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca,
They make it a spring;
The rain also covers it with pools.
7Â They go from strength to strength;
Each one appears before God in Zion”.
In the mountain of Your inheritance,
In the place, O Lord, which You have made
For Your own dwelling,
The sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established.” And not the works of men.
That is the focus. Eternal, Holy, separate from sinners and this created realm down here.

The eternal gift of life is timeless. What has been given to us “In Christ†cannot not be lost or taken away because it is not related to the creation of emc=square of time and matter or any of things made from the Big Bang. That is why we are instructed to not look at the things that are seen for the things that are seen are temporary but the things that are unseen are eternal. The gift from God can never be seen with human eyes. “Flesh and blood does not inherit the kingdomâ€. For even Christ himself, the one who brought immortality to light through the gospel, did not appear in His royalty. And His own words? “My Kingdom is not of this ageâ€. Meaning this creation that we physically experience.
We are called to His eternal Glory. Paul said “to be found “In Him†not having my own righteousness but that which is by faith in Jesus Christ. Paul also said of his listeners that it was his desire to present them to the Lord as “chaste virginsâ€. This has nothing to do with our humanity or our past, of which Paul counted all as dung, but it has everything to do with us being found “in Christâ€.
We see in Zechariah 3 Joshua the high priest standing before the Lord and Satan accusing him. And what did the Lord say of Joshua? Is this not a brand plucked from the fire? The Lord proceeded to instruct those who stood by to “take away the filthy garments, see I will clothe you with rich robesâ€. Those who stand before the Lord, and we all do if we have His Spirit, are never seen by Him in our old nature. For “even the holy angels behold the face of the Father when they see these little onesâ€. Us. It is only our guilty conscience and the fallen angels that try to drag our stinky old carcass into the presence of our Father. Like a cat dragging a half dead rat into the house. Get that thing out of here!
And this is what we do whenever we bring before the Lord our failures or our human accomplishments, good and bad. Our continual confessing of sin or bragging are equally repulsive to the Father. When it comes to sin His answer has always been the same. He dealt with it at the cross. Both of those actions deny the perfect offering, the sinless sacrifice, the lamb without spot or blemish. The one who died to free us from sin. Anytime we try to drag are old carcass into His presence it is as if we say †No Christ wasn’t enoughâ€. Even from Hebrews 10.2 that the worshipers once purged should have no consciousness of sin. Receive this gift for it is part of the package.
The Lord acknowledges those who exist on the resurrection side of the cross. This is why “if anyone is “In Christ†he is a new creation, all things are made newâ€. We offer ourselves living sacrifices which is our new spiritual man. As we learn to put on Christ we find ourselves in a place where no man can go, where no man has been, meaning those born from Adam.
You see Christ came to us by a virgin birth and He lay down after the cross in a tomb no man lay in before to display this truth. The place where He came from and where He went has nothing to do with man or time and matter And as we accept the gift, the new creation in His like likeness, the one who is spirit and truth, we too are found, that is our souls that have been purified by the word of truth, we are found as a tomb where no man lay and like the virgin whom no man has defiled. A place before and after all humanity Why? Because that is the timeless eternal gift spotless, pure and undefilable reserved for us in heaven. Which cannot be tainted by humanity and that includes our old dead carcass of a man.
Our human body and our mind as it relates to our old self are non existent and have no place before the throne of God. They are pre-Christ and unclean and nothing that is defiled can enter. The sacrifice you take into His presence is His Son Himself and that is what He sees in us. If there was any other acceptable gift then the Son, then the Son died in vain. This is what it means to be found “in Him’.
Are we “in Christ†or “in the worldâ€? Are we trying to bring the half dead rat into the house of God? Are we offering up continual efforts of doing the best we can and covering our short comings with confessions instead of His blood? This is where Satan wants you to confuse you. The roaring lion who is seeking whom he may devour, knowing that this suffering is experienced by our brotherhood where? “in the worldâ€. To that I say, get “in Christâ€. Put on the “new manâ€.
I John 2.12+ I write to you children because your sins are forgiven for His names sake. I write to you new men because you have overcome the wicked one, and because you are strong and the word of God abides in you.

Lk17.20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’[a] For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.â€
22 Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come (like today) whenyou will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 And they will say to you, ‘Look here!’ or ‘Lookthere!’[b] Do not go after them or follow them.
John 19.36 36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.â€
Christ clearly states that His Kingdom is of a different make up. He indicates that with the temple too when He said He would rebuild the it in 3 days. He was talking about His body. Subsequently we see the brick temple of that day ripped from top to bottom to where “the earth quaked, and the rocks were splitâ€. Mt 27.51. Totally condemned and put out of business. Any structure of our day with that damage would not allow access but tear it down. But He rose victorious. And of that old age of a physical kingdom being Jerusalem, in Mt 11.13 that “all the law and the prophets were until John†the baptist. Meaning that all the pictures that were played out through the feasts and the sacrifices in the tabernacle/temple, were pictures of the eternal reality, the invisible kingdom, but not the kingdom itself. So when Christ kept saying “the Kingdom of God/Heaven is at hand†He meant right here right now! The whole old order had expired as seen as the main theme in the book of Hebrews. 8.1 Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who isseated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2 a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man. And again in Heb 8 13 In that He says, “A new covenant,â€Â He has made the first obsolete.(mosaic) Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away. (the city the temple and the sacrifices up to 70 a.d.by Titus) So then the law, the sacrifices, the temple, the city, and the land have all expired as having had only temporary, pictorial meaning to describe the eternal. Eye has not seen nor cannot see the kingdom of God, nor ever will. But it is revealed by the spirit. So Christ truly set up the Kingdom to those born of the spirit, even as Paul said in Galatians that we are born from above, heavenly Jerusalem. So it is from that place that we are of the new creation, as Paul said in 2 Cor  17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.  So flesh and blood does not inherit the kingdom. I Cor 15.50  Once again in John 4 when Christ was talking to the lady at the well, 21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.â€Â I plead with you not to follow the seekers of a kingdom on earth. Or even as Paul pleaded in Cor 5.20 “be ye reconciled†6.2 2 For He says:
“In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.â€[a]
Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
Too many people are looking over there when it is right here, “at handâ€
Is Christ really coming down in this age to sit on some silly chair in a temple made by men?
Look at what YHWH told Ezekiel when he was taken up in visions to see something like the structure of a city. Ez 40.2. After an in-depth examination of that city in that heavenly vision he was instructed to “describe the temple to the people of Israel that they may be ashamed. Ez 43.10
Ashamed of what? At the notion that YHWH dwells in buildings made in this age by masons. Acts 17.24, Ex 20.25
This may be hard to receive but that whole thing going on in modern day Israel is anti-Christ. Not only is Christ the Temple, but the true city is a timeless eternal one (Heb 12.22, Mt 25.34) Anything else is a counterfeit. And we can say this also of “the landâ€. Let me demonstrate from scripture.
In Ex 4.22 the Lord said “Israel is my son, my firstborn“  Well we know Christ really is, but Israel is a picture of Christ. And we know they divided up the inheritance in Joshua and Israel became a land, hence “The promised landâ€. But Christ is the true son and the true land. That is why the “promised land†is not mentioned once in the New Testament, because those who are truly in the land, are in Christ, are in the firstborn, are in His Son, are in the spirit, and livingin His promises they are born from above and of that kingdom.
So since we are hid in Him (Col 3.1) let us seek the things that are in Him and not in the world. Keeping our eyes on Him and His kingdomthat is “not like this worldâ€. Let us now enjoy the things He reveals to us by the spirit and the fruits of that Kingdom, looking for the blessed hope of being revealed with the One of whom we now enjoy being in His presence .

I find it interesting that Judaism, Messianic’s, Ephramite’s, Nasarene’s and sacred namers for the most part use the lesser light of the night to rule their days, months and years. Doesn’t Islam, Wickans, Pagans, satanist and other cults do this?
Let’s look at this.
In the Strongs concordance from the Hebrew it translates chodesh # 2320 as months with the exception of when it is used for new moon only 8 out of about 250 times, and only in connection to the phrase “new moonâ€. Other than those 8 times, it is never used in equation with the luminary called the “moonâ€, just in reference to the measurement of time. New moon could easily be a mis-translation.
Strongs translates Yareach # 3391-4 as moon. These are associated with luminaries and the heavens. There are few times this word for moon is translated “monthâ€. Usually in connection with pagan month names possibly in reference to pagan names brought up from Egypt and in exile in Babylon.
Other than the already mentioned minor exceptions moon/yareach and, month/chodesh are not interchangeable. New moons [2320] should be translated new months because it refers to times, not luminaries, where it is always translated months.
There goes the verses supporting a moon month from the scriptures.
Think about the moon as an anti-type. In size its about the same as the sun to the naked eye, but infinitely smaller. It possesses no light of itself. It is called the lesser light in importance but it determines the days months and years? Mmh! What does the sun do?
The only feast celebrated by night is the Passover. Which pictures coming out of darkness into the light.
My research has led me to Enoch’s calendar or also known as the Essene calendar, which is more stable then the Gregorian calendar.
The point is this. God gave a miraculous clock in the sky and it’s not the moon. To the one who sets us free, why would he bind us to laborious task of following the moon?
More important is the admonition by Paul from Galatians 4.9-11
But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? 10 You observe days and months and seasons and years. 11 I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain.
The point is this. There is more indications that the Holy Spirit is feminine. God in the beginning chose to reveal Himself in male and female. Gen 1.27 So God created man in His image. In the image of God He created him male and female. The purpose was to reveal Himself through Adam and Eve the parents of the first creation who were contrasts of the Bride and Bridegroom of the new creation, being the Word of God and the Breath, or Spirit of God. Those of the new creation are born of the Word and Spirit, both being equally and fully God. Please read the 1st article on this topic for a fuller understanding before you proceed.

Holy is a funny word. Sometimes we think it means to be pious or self righteous, a state of being perfect or clean or religious. But the truth is, simply put, holy means other dimensional, not of this world, unlike what we can comprehend naturally.
