Kind begets kind and Bone of My Bone.

Here we have Gods eternal laws of the distinction of creatures. From the 6 days of creation He designates categories for the different creatures. He divided day and night, heavens and earth, land and sea, and filled them with their respective creatures. “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures and let the birds fly above the face of the earth; each according to their kind” and “let the earth bring forth the living creatures, beasts and insects according to its kind. And God saw that it was good”. Each had their respected category and family. Each one according to its own kind.
 
We understand that fish don’t mate with birds and cattle don’t mate with insects, man doesn’t mate with beasts. Cat begets cat, dog begets dog, worms from worms. 
 
The rule of kind brings forth according to its kind has spiritual value. John 3.6 “that which is born according to the flesh is flesh and that which is born according to the spirit is spirit”. And Jesus spoke to Nicodemus as rendered correctly from the Greek “You must be born from above”. Not born again.
 
This eternal God given law is why flesh and blood does not inherit the kingdom. It is totally the wrong make up. And just as fish cannot live on earth, and oxygen breathing creatures cannot live in the sea or they would die, so too only spirit can live in the spirit and even the spiritual invisible world has subsections. As the earth has lower depths of the sea, land and atmosphere and the heavens, so too the spirit. And God lives in what is described as the highest heavens. Above all the created realms visible and invisible. He is non-material, invisible, non dimensional, before all things.
 
So here is the mystery. Why is it theologians speak of a bride that is being made to be a wife for the Son of God? If Christ was made then it would be okay, but Christ has always been, for He is eternal. God would have to violate His own eternal laws of creation and make His own hybrid. The very thing the people, creatures and fallen angels were judged and wiped off the face of the earth for in the days of Noah. Saying ” The sons of God came into the daughters of men”. They bore mighty men of old who were renown. The laws of distinction of species of kind begets kind were abridged. 
 
But somehow in peoples understanding God can violate His own principles and not be a hypocrite? No disrespect meant to our creator here. This should jar our mindset. This should help us re-think the concept of becoming a bride, a thing to be made for a Groom with eternal attributes. Him from before time mating with a creation of time and matter? Our brains have committed the same crime as those in the days of Noah. A created thing to beget offspring with the eternal Son of God. Hmm! Sounds like the days of Noah to me.
 
Adam after scanning and naming all the creatures recognized that he had no counterpart and God said “it is not good for man to be alone”. So God brought forth Eve to Adam and he said “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh”. She didn’t have feathers or gills or hooves or antennae. She was in all ways similar to him. Just as pre-school children are taught the male female association for procreation, similarly we need to understand  that the same type of make-up applies to the Son of God and His Bride. His Bride surely is not a building on earth. For He says “Heaven is my throne earth is my footstool, where is the house you will build for me? Can an ant make an anthill to house a human? That is more logical than man building something to house God. Man creating something for the creator? Listen to yourself. 
 
Some would say, well that is silly. We are becoming the bride of Christ. But if the bride is becoming, as though she had not been, she would be totally unsuitable to be the bride of Christ, for Christ just is. (Hebrews 13.8) The same yesterday today and forever. He could not say to her “you are bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh, for she is of time and He is from eternity. That is like mixing heavenly beings with earthly like in Noah’s day. But that which is flesh is flesh and spirit is spirit. It violates Gods own laws of creation given for us to understand Him. Christ said repeatedly things like “I am not of this world” “my kingdom is not from here” And if kind begets kind then Christ has a Bride that is not of this world. She is not from the lower created heavens or the earth or sea. She must, according to His laws, be pre-existent. She must be from before time and matter and before the manifestation of the spoken word. She must be before all creation and in the beginning. If she is not then she simply cannot qualify as kind begets kind and bone of my bone but She is.
The Bride of Christ is the complimentary counterpart with the same composition and makeup of being eternal. No feathers no beaks no fins no antennae no fur no flesh no angel. She is before all things and co-creator.  
 
May we introduce to you the third person of the Godhead and seen in the act of creation. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and the Spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters”. God the word and God the Holy Spirit created all things by the edict of the Father. He spoke Word and Breath and they are in Him, all co-equally God. The Godhead being original Thought which produced Word, coupled with the Breath, who departed from Thought we call the Father. Who being joined together in the mind and heart of a believer being joined together there. This is what we call The Wedding Feast. We testify with John the Baptist and say “He who has the Bride is the Bride’s Groom” and we are estatic. 
 
The Holy Spirit is the only one who qualifies by being eternal, by being before all things that were created, and by being instrumental in creating. No created thing is bone of His bone. Anything that is becoming is in transition from a beginning and is disqualified. The church on earth is not becoming the bride of Christ. It is only in the understanding by the renewing of our minds that we become aware of these eternal truths. That we awaken to these eternal realities, but She was and is and is to come as is He. Bone of His bone of the same structure of non-matter. All matter is temporary. For the earth and all it’s works shall be burned for the eternal to remain. Heavenly Jerusalem that comes down of God from Heaven,  being “the Kingdom from the foundations of the world. The before time. Being “that which is from the beginning. While we look not to the things that are seen But to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are temporary but the things that are unseen are eternal. In God’s counterpart is as Eternal as is He
Adam displayed a split image of God, but in Christ they are united. John the Baptist said in the Book of John chapter 3  He who has the bride is the bridegroom. It’s a done deal. They are one but not androgynous.
It was God that said “let us make man in our likeness”. This mystery is also pictured with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and others who married their sisters and cousins. They reunited with their kind all from where they came picturing those from above. 
 
The breath of God is the mysterious 3rd person of the Godhead “whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Her or knows Her, and does not come from, but you know Her for she dwells with you and will be in you”. She is as Christ said “another comforter”. Like Christ but not Christ but another comforter like Him. Yes bone of His bone. Yes the Bridegroom has the Bride therefor this joy of mine is fulfilled. John 3.29 And John 3.31 with better Greek rendering “They must increase, I must decrease, They who come from above are above all, he who is of the earth speaks of the earth. They who come from above are above all”. And who are the they? The Bride and the Groom.They who replace Adam and Eve.They create a new creature. That is us, we are His new creation.
 
This is speaking the truth, this is in the scripture. Adam and Eve the parents of the first man were a type of the Bridegroom and Bride of the new man, and as They are from above it is from Them we are to be born from above. As Paul said in Galatians four of heavenly Jerusalem, she is the mother of us all. We are not waiting for the bride-to-be Manifest or to appear for as it was set of Christ my kingdom of not of this age she is the kingdom. She is that City come down from God Of Heaven being kind of his kind in bone of his bone.
So think about it. If the church is waiting to become a bride, how then are they born again and from whom? If there is not a replacement for Adam and Eve, then there is no new creation, no heavenly offspring, no one born from above. You have to wait for His bride to become for you to be begotten like them. Your hope is in vain. Either you are this new creation or you are still in your sins and what did Christ accomplish if not for us to be new? What did His blood wash us from if not to be new? A limbo creature waiting for another 2000 years? From Him who spoke and immediately it was? But we are new if we are in Him and in His Spirit.
 
Kind begets kind and those born from above are His begat kind. Are you of this kind? Who are your parents? This is the before time kind pictured in Kind begets kind, bone of my bone. Truth from the truth. The Heavenly city that “descends down from God”, being from Him in make up and composition. This is the Kingdom prepared from the foundation of the world. This is why Jesus said “my kingdom is not of this world”, distinguishing it from the “The kingdom of God at hand”. This was Christ’s opening statement in His ministry and the reason for all His words.
The kingdom of God is at hand! And She is Heavenly Jerusalem, the Kingdom prepared from before the foundations of the world.

**A REMINDER OF KINGDOM REALITIES NOW

A REMINDER OF KINGDOM REALITIES NOW

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 Christ”, “in the Spirit”, 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 Christ”, “in the Spirit”, 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 Christ”. 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.

**GODS UBIQUITOUS KINGDOM

Posted on January 26, 2014 by ADMIN

Ubiquitous meaning, existing or being everywhere at the same time : constantly. In other words every where, all the time, forever.

This is how I explain the Kingdom of God and Christ, also being heaven. This place cannot be defined as a single place and this place is not related to time. It is a timeless truth, hence, eternal. Meaning eternity past and eternity future. We usually think that eternity means from now forward but that is not true. To be eternal is to be timeless. Either God is or He isn’t. We know Him as alpha and omega, beginning and end and this doesn’t do justice to what eternal means either because it points to a start and an end. The truth is time has a start and an end but eternity does not.
Same way with the attributes and characteristics of God broke down for our understanding as seen in the law and the prophets, then seen more clearly in Christ in a human body, which is the mystery of God, the infinite, becoming a digit, a singularity, a man.
But this break down of the nature of God was for us to grow in an understanding of God. God never changed in who He was for that is impossible, but through the word we understand different attributes of God. So we can see Christ as the lamb of God and we can see Him as Son of God and many other aspects, but He is all these things simultaneously.God did not become anything or He was not God. Christ was made man for a little while so that He by the grace of God ,would taste death for every man. He laid aside His deity for this purpose, but He never un-became anything, and He never becomes anything. Hebrews 13.8 Christ the same yesterday today and forever.
Knowing God this way we can say of His eternal gift to us, that it is of His same nature and character that He is, or it isn’t really eternal. His reward is with Him. He is the reward or His gift would have a start and an end. Now this is hard for our brain to apply this principle when reading His word. We like to bring it down here and put perimeters on it, a beginning a timeline and an end.
There are two aspects of creation that define it. The beginning and the end. All of the ubiquitous aspects of God are not of the 6 day creation. They are pre-existent. The 6 day creation can only dimly describe it. But this is what we do. We lay the feast’s out and wait for them to happen. We do this with end time views too. We see on a timeline and think God is subject to that, and He is but not as it relates to time. Some people are under Gods judgment and others confess and are saved, while yet another receives His spirit and another receives the kingdom, but because these are eternal aspects of God, each person understands in his, or her own order. (1 Cor 15).
So Christ came in the flesh to redeem mankind, but there are those who were redeemed before Christ came, showing the timelessness of His gift being the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. As Abraham saw “The Lords Day” and was glad, before it happened in time. And John on the Island of Patmos was in the spirit on the Lords day before the end of the world. Christ died and was resurrected but He was the “resurrection and the life” before He died or Lazarus could not have been resurrected. Or what about the angel John went to worship, who was of those who “keep the testimony of Christ”? How does that fit our human timeline? That person had a glorified body.
Paul referring to Isaac and Ishmael said that the flesh has always persecuted those born of the spirit, meaning them way before Christ came, but in our timely, carnal thinking no one was born of the spirit until after Christ was on earth, putting God on a time frame. And teaching that no one received the Holy Spirit until the time of Pentecost, but Joshua and David and Daniel as others already had the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, for in their mind Christ was the already Glorified King. John 7.39 for the spirit was not given for Christ was not yet glorified, pointing to a revelation. You can’t prove this anyway, except with scripture.
Here is the truth of the matter. Yes Christ has to be Glorified in ones mind to receive His spirit but that relates to a sequence of revelations, if you are able to accept it, not a day a month and a year. Like when the disciples asked why the prophets say Elijah must come. He has come if you are able to receive it. Are you? We all have the same stages in our walk with Christ, but because one person knows Him only as having died on the cross does not mean that another cannot know him as being seated with Him.
Here then is the error of time dispensational thinking. It makes it easy for the carnal mind to think that God became, or is becoming and must still do in this age. Leaving people looking for another move by Christ or to come later and be King another day, he has always been a king. But the Holy Spirit has repeated throughout time that “Today is the day” “in an acceptable time I have heard, I have helped” and “now is the acceptable time”. He was born King and never denied He was a king. This thinking puts people in a holding pattern in their relationship with Christ, making the eternal God a subject of His own creation, bound by time. Yes He is revealed through a sequence but of revelations not time. From Hebrews 4 “And in this 7th day they shall not enter His rest, although the works were finished from the foundations of the world”. It is the revelation that takes us closer to God, it is not as the event seen happen, for if it is seen it is not of faith. As with Isaiah, in the year that king Uzziah died he saw the Lord high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Many are still looking for this to happen in time as a 2nd coming.
We can take the same principle of “Ubiquitous” and apply it to the gift of eternal life, and us being joint heirs with Christ. God is, or He isn’t. The gift is or it isn’t. It is Him or it is not eternal. If it is locked into space and time it is not of Him.
When a species is born it is identified by it’s features, A fish by it’s fins, a bird by it’s wings. A human has specific features, a head, arms, legs, and a torso, having fingers and toes. After it is born it doesn’t grow new arms or add toes. As with us, we “are complete in Him who is the head of all principality and power”. And “now we are the children of God”. We each, individually as born again believers have His Fullness.
The point I would like to make is that as His offspring we are now becoming only in understanding not in nature. Meaning, we are or we are not. Now that we bear His image in the spirit, being born again, we put on this new man. That we grow in understanding and applying our new nature, the transformation of our understanding in the inward man being renewed day by day as or outward man perishes, but we have already been birthed or we are not born again.
So we ask, Whats the difference between growing and becoming. Well becoming indicates that He is not yet or we are not yet, that we are partial and limits our ability to understand and receive. But we are complete in Him who is the head of all principality and power. Of his fullness we have all received  And He has given us everything that pertains to life and Godliness through the knowledge of Him who calls us to glory. The work He is doing now is awakening us to this in the spirit, to these realities. As Paul says, I press on to lay a hold of that for which Christ laid hold of me
If we believe we are not yet and that Christ also must become, both being progressive in nature, we take the power out of our conversion and are enticed to lay things out in a time dispensational manner thereby distancing ourselves from some of the promises of God and God himself which is the very nature of our inheritance. . To wait for the work of God to happen like in a 2nd coming for our carnal senses of site hearing, taste and touch, to believe it? This is the very enmity of God by the carnal mind to subject God and His timeless eternal gift to the “time sensitive” created realm by which carnal man is uncapsulated in, not God, and not the new man. Hence “the kingdom of God does not come with observation.
As scripture says “as He is so are we in the world” and “we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the glory and the excellency may be of God”.
An invitation went out from the beginning of creation to enter the rest of God. This can not happen in a dispensational brain for it tell us it is later, being subject to the laws and nature of this creation we need to see it physically. This is the snare of eschatology. But we are a new creation, a timeless one,, a Ubiquitous one.
I challenge you at this point to think about what the Holy Spirit has shown you by revelation the things that are yours now by faith. If we are “seated with him in heavenly places”, what does that mean? To accept the cross and resurrection is really just the basics from baptism. Can we see past the cross? Let us go on to maturity not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works of faith of baptisms, laying on of hands and resurrection from the dead. Resurrection is a foundation doctrine, it is the milk of the word.
John 3.8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
So if we are waiting for another work of Christ, be it a “latter rain”, the “manifest sons”, a “rapture” a tribulation a resurrection or whatever, we make null some promises of God and put ourselves in “unfaith”, “unbelief”.
The old testament picture was to go up to Jerusalem. This should be our current focus in the faith. Colosians 3.1, if you are then raised with Christ seeks the things that are above. And I will add, seek not the things on earth regarding the faith.
Blessings.
