The writer of The Revelation of Jesus Christ had these words to say to the faithful.

¹⁰ Because you have kept ^[g]My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. ^11 [h]Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown”. 

However keep in mind that, just because God has promised to keep us from the hour of trial that comes upon the whole world, that doesn’t mean we can stop our pursuit from pressing in to God, because we may then be counted as a slothful steward of the things of God. And that is going backward. Especially when the time comes because you will need His strength. For some He comes as a thief. The giver becomes a taker and we don’t want to know Him that way.

Even as it says in another place, “let no one steal your reward”. A constant vigilance and participation in the things of God is required on your part to secure your inheritance with “the spirits of just men made perfect. (Hebrews 12)

Just as John the Apostle said in his second epistle, “Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward”. 

And some excerpts from Hebrews say “let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Yashua the author and finisher of our faith”and “For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise“. Meaning, to aquire the things that were said and laid out cryptically in scripture and made known by way of revelations, visitations and comings of Christ. Even as Paul said, the gospel I’ve made known to you I did not receive from man but by revelations from Yashua Christ”. And His Revelations are many. Hopefully you are being bombarded right now.

You see those who were counted as faithful was because in their efforts to persevere during the hardships and testings they endured in their daily lives, having been found undaunted and un-detoured from obtaining the promises of God, and having held their ground of standing on God’s Word through all the turbulence against them. Not being tempted by putting their faith in the provisions and providers of this age, but being found faithful, trusting “in Christ” not having their own righteousness, or ways of doing things, but the righteousness which is by faith in Christ for eternal Glory.

From this they did not sway but stayed strong in their reliance upon God. They endured as seeing Him who is invisible as being their sole provider. Even as Abraham said “I lift my hand to the Lord God, possessor of Heaven and Earth, that I will take not a stitch of clothing or a sandal strap from you lest you say you made me rich.”

Paul describes his work and reward like this “by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” This is what Paul cooperated with.

And from 1st Peter, ³ Blessed be the God and Father of Yashuah the Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Christ from the dead, ⁴ to an inheritance ^[b]incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, ⁵ who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation (already) ready to be revealed in the last time.” It is not the salvation that is revealed in the last time, but those who possess it. Salvation came from the cross.

The saving from God comes by confession. That if you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth you shall be saved. Once you receive the “saving” package, it is up to you to learn what it is, how to put it on, and how to be ready “for the salvation to be revealed in the last time. There are many who are ready already. They are on standby even now. These are the watchers and the Holy ones of the spirits of just men made perfect.

This concept is further developed by Jude who speaks of how “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, ¹⁵ to execute judgment on all, to convict (spell out their punishment) all who are ungodly”describing for us those who have aquired the full package of godliness before this age wraps up as evidenced by their participating in judging it before this age expires.

Even as Paul said “know ye not that we shall judge angels? How much more things that pertain to this life “. Yes those who “kept not their proper domain” shall be put in their place, their new place. The place we call “outer darkness” where”the worm never does” and the “unquenchable fire” never cools down.

And as Isaiah said “they shall go forth and look
Upon the corpses of the men
Who have transgressed against Me.
For their worm does not die,
And their fire is not quenched.
They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.”

With these testimonies laid out for our preponderance, why then would it seam strange that us, having past the tests one skirmish after another, that we the Elect, could forgo the test that “comes upon the face of the earth to try those who dwell there in”? That testing happens to them in the end by mandate, however we did it willingly and ungrudgingly as we faced one trial after another. So we don’t need a crash course at the last moment.

Remember the account of Lot and his families extraction from Sodom? But Abraham was even more fortunate because him and Sarah were already detached from the megalithic monster of Sodom and Egypt, where also the Christ was hung. There are some like Lot in our day too.

And because we followed God’s Holy Spirit in judging ourselves first, then by observing mankind at large under the sway, persuasion of fallen angels with their obsessions, we learn to make a judgment and select a verdict. And based upon that verdict, God calibrates us along the way so that we will be ready to “judge angels” because we took the course and passed the test, “we know them by their works”, we know them better than they know themselves. Even those who hide behind masks of benevolence. We know who they are and what to do with them.

And as Paul said in Ephesians 3 to the intent that now the ^[d]manifold wisdom of God would be made known by the Eklesia (meaning us who are called) to the principalities and powers in the high places, ¹¹ according to the eternal purpose.” We are those who they have been trying to detain, because the agencies they’ve stolen, belongs to us and they know it. They attempt to detain, to entertain and maintain people’s attentions here to keep them from their ascension. That is why Lot was found in the gates of the city enforcing his humanity as though that’s the prize. So for him, he was physically removed. As for his wife? She chose to turn back into the trap.

Do for those still in training? Ad Paul said, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, ⁶ and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.” Because this is our call to Godliness. To share in the Father’s works.

So we know what our purpose is.

We followed the command to “come out of her My people lest you partake of her sins and receive of her judgments”. We now know what her sins and judgments are.

Yes and “therefore cleanse yourself from all filthiness of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. And “come out and be ye separate saith the Lord and I will receive you. Then you shall be my son’s son daughters says The Lord.” And so we did, being flesh of His flesh and bone of His bone of Glorious Spirit and truth, we ascend to our inheritance “for the Father seeketh such”. (John 4) We were highly sought after that they tried to detain.

We are “in the world and not of the world”. So the rapid fire succession of events have no sway on us. We are of another per-sway-sion. Having been tried and tested and coming forth as gold while we willingly cooperated in “such a great salvation spoken by the Lord first and confirmed by those who heard it,” speaking of us and our confirmation. Our crossover is done and ascension is complete and now we are conscientious observers and onlookers as these things unfold. We are in the stands, not in the skirmishes, at Rest with the Father.

“God sent His Son into the world not to condemn the world but to save it”. Did you receive that saving? Because that has already been allocated and completed to those who have been tested. Those who reject that saving will be tried and judged accordingly.

What we went through voluntarily, is what others will have to take the cram course for with no repreave because the time is short. Hence the “rapid fire succession of events” made to “try those who dwell on the earth” who are still attached to the carnal associations, and failed to complete their cross over while there was time.

While faith is required, the doors are still open. When everything is seen, you won’t need faith, but faith is the door. Then this saying from the Revelation will be implimented that “¹¹ He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him ^[e]be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.” Like musical chairs, when the music stops, the place you are at is the place that you stay. This is why Paul in essence  said to compete as one who wants first place.

Many are still in the middle of their preponderance and decision making but can not make the break. This testing is God’s last push to have you rescued. But you have to attentively cooperate, whole hearted.

Our crossover and pre-qualifying is complete and we have received the promise that “we are complete in Him who is the head over all principalities and powers”. So you can see why those below can’t touch us.

Even as scripture says “do not think it strange by the trial that is to try you as some strange thing is happening to you, but rejoice to the extent that as you participate in these things, you are partakers of the Divine nature, and escape the corruption that is in the world through lusts”. So you know what our tools are for departure.

We are counted as those closest to the Lamb with tall stature. Meaning we have oversight of these things. How else could we speak in such a matter if it were not true.

That “²² Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth ^[i]through the Spirit”. We have aquired something from God, by passing a test we need not repeat. We were called to follow Him where He is. And that place is in the ever present ubiquitous nature of Gods Holy Spirit, our Helper, Comforter our Teacher and new environment.

¹⁸ knowing that you were not redeemed with ^[g]corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, ¹⁹ but with (something much greater being) the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. ²⁰ He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was ^[h]manifest in due time (in Greek, your own time) for you ²¹ who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.” As is your dependancy

Jesus Christ is the only human throughout all time, that has a grave with no body in it. There is a testimony from that one, that is qualified to instruct us. All other prophets and religious leaders can only speak of this life because they died. That’s where dead men take you. The testimony of Christ is that He ever lives, so He has some things for us others don’t.

And from 2nd Peter “⁴ by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these (promises) you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the ^[c]corruption that is in the world“. This is spoken as an established fact, and a foregone conclusion, of promises fulfilled of things we have received from the Son of God as written in His Word. So now you know where you need to go to aquire these provisions from the Father. To His Only Begotten and allocated to as many as receive Him.

For these are the implements for your passage and your safety and sanctification during your journey, for your crossover from here to there, so you are protected. As God said through Jesus Christ “be ye Holy as I am Holy. His scripture is the owners manual for those who are practicing godliness, meaning God-like-ness.

Welcome home my friends, if you are of this sort.

You have heard it said that “it will be as in the days of Noah”, that the fallen angels would be at work again? That they would be active again? The trap is laid, they are now being exposed for judgment and we are on standby. This service have all the Elect.

Remember Lot and his wife. Do not look back as though you left something behind. You won’t need it where you are going.

The Kingdom of God is at Hand.

​­

In your patience possess ye your soul.

Jesus Christ said these words pertaining to a time that would come upon the whole world and test the hearts of people. Their affections for the things they have and the things they think they need, would distract them from what is really important, and the only thing they can obtain to keep, and the only real thing God is concerned about, being your invisible part that is uniquely designed to interact and cohabitate with Him called your heart, mind soul and spirit. Even as Jesus said “what does it profit a man to gain the world and loose his soul”, given that the world and all its embellishments will be removed for the eternal to be unhindered. (Hebrews 12.26) So you know what the real meaning of life is, to live eternally with the Father undistracted.

We use words  like soul, heart and conscience to define this expanse in spirit and occupied by those who are of “the body of Christ”. Not like the body of a man, but somewhat like a political body of edicts, but much greater, being a collective ownership of selves/cells that make up the Body of Christ. His body is a conglomeration of those who have obtained the things given to us described in scripture and called them their own, as co-owners and joint heirs of the things of God in Christ. We are the Elect and the purpose of this time is our preparation and maturation.

In possessing your soul, when there are those who seek to hurt or kill you, God said “not a hair on your head shall be lost” showing us that our physical body is not what we hold on to tightly. That is only a vessel, a container, a bag and a rag that gets put off and returns to the dust.

And again from Jesus “do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell”. Which shows us what really matters and it is not the flesh.

In truth, our new person is an embodiment like God is, and not confined to a time or place, but your physical body is. We don’t let that define or limit us. We know we don’t keep that. It was said of the Israelites that “seeing with their eyes they see not and hearing with their ears they hear not because it is with the heart that we must see and hear to understand the things of God”. So let’s be sure we don’t make the same mistake.

As Paul teaches in Colossians 3. That “we have put off the body of the sins of the flesh, and (we have) put on the new person who is just like Christ”. This was spoken as being operational and active for us today and not being crafted with elements specific to time and matter for that is completely unsuitable for eternal beings.

But our constructs are of eternal words, Gods words. These all collected together and re-assembled inside us. This qualifies us as “the Elect”, of those having received the gift of God seen in His Son through scripture then appropriated to us for the aquisition if the things unseen. As we read from 2 Corithians 4.18, ¹⁸ while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.”

Some prophets call Gods collection a “terrible crystal” and others “a sea of glass”, as being a congruant, harmonious transparency of saints and holy ones. Did you know the word holy means transparency, a clarity, to see clean through? That those who are called saints are a piece this? Even as Jesus said “be Holy as I am Holy”. He didn’t give us a task that He didn’t empower us to do.

To put off the body of the sins of the flesh, is to detach from the dependency, services and products of this age that appear to empower people, but have them bound by contracts, terms, conditions and services and such. Do not touch, handle or taste for those that do will perish with using them them. Stay clear of these and you can say like Jesus said “the god of this age comes and has nothing in Me” because we have put off the deeds of the flesh with all its glitter and embellishments, and put on true righteousness which is according to (or just like) Godliness. This is our task God willing.

There are no deposits we need to return, there are no contracts that we are beholden to, there are no balances of services we need to use or perform. All our accounts are paid in full. We remain paid in full with no real obligations but to love God and the souls God has given us. In doing so, we have come clean. The god of this age comes? Let him blow right on by. There are no entanglements for him to hold on to, to slow his fall.

This is why the Psalmist says “Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; The snare is broken, and we have escaped.” So you see maybe you have permission to do this too.

What a blessedness to be beholden to nothing but the grace of God. What a tender love.

Christ, when asked about His Kingdom He said “My Kingdom is not of this age” so we know what our inheritance is. It’s a timeless piece.

As a matter of fact, every time we were withheld from accomplishing and attaining to something in the world and denied, it is because God already gave it to us, but He reserved it for us in our rightful home with Him eternal in His Heavens. We have lost nothing. This is why Paul wrote to the Colosians “For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. ⁴ When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.” And not a moment sooner.

Where our treasure is, there our heart our heart is also? The things of this age comes and goes, but “the Word of the Lord endureth forever”. Word is what we keep. Word is our eternal consumable product that needs no preservatives and never wears out and needs no subscriptions, just persistence. Moses called it  “the burning bush that was not consumed”.  There is nothing in this age that’s good that doesn’t have a Heavenly counterpart that never wears out. That’s why we set our sights above where Yeshua sits.

For the things we were denied or stolen from us, in truth we were kept from spending our inheritance here. If you are of this sort, Thank you for your patience and perseverance, there is a reconning coming your way. Rejoice, your reward in Heaven is Great. And it is not that it is reserved in some far away place because we partake and participate with it even now. And it is not as if the reward is an it. It is a Him and we call it Christ and The Word of God. He is called Christ first because that is central to what He does, but He has many other names, like wonderful counselor, almighty God and King of kings.

The modern name Jesus has lost its true meaning, so we know Him as savior. He saves us from the rapid fire procession of distractions that try to pull on you as if to hold you back. But these things have no gravitational pull on us who are born of the spirit. We know what to let go of.

And from David in Psalms 11.

In the Lord I put my trust;
How can you say to my soul,
“Flee as a bird to your mountain”? As if to defy gravity? According to Isaiah some of us have done that. We know how to flee like a bird to His mountain. We have taken God at His Word as the rightful heirs and co-owners of the things of God, that He had before He ever said “let there be light. We are seated in the Heavenlies in Christ Jesus” the Originator and architect of all of creation. We know it as “that which is from the beginning” which is the same as all that is left after the dust of creation has been recalled. It served it’s purpose to some. God’s Word accomplished all His desire and we are done. Like bread in an oven. We have risen and been taken out. We are His desire of those that have made it home.

Does this all sound strange to you? Well think of the testimony of Enoch, ⁵ By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.” This one was not distracted by the unfolding events in the place that is in constant change, creation. He rested by faith in the Everlasting. So can you. We call it The Rest of God. (Hebrews 4)

So you have to ask, why did God put that testimony of Enoch being taken in scripture? It is to entice you, to spur you on to “the upward call of God in Christ Jesus”. He is resting too “waiting for His prescious cargo called the Elect”.

Yes the action plan is in play and needs no more effort on His part. If Enoch obtained such a reward, so can we because we have the same composition, design and calling, providing that we stay focused and keep on growing in the knowledge of Him. This grants us access to Him and His things that are with Him beckoning us upward.

In this way the Kingdom of God is always at hand. It is a timeless call of a place that is always open. Where there is no need for a sun because the lamb of God is its light.

From Enoch to Moses, from David to Elijah, from to Joshua the high priest, and on to us in our day.

It is “The Kingdom prepared from the foundations of the world”,,, if you can receive it, then welcome home. Pull up a chair and join in the discussion because “²² 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 ^[j]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,  (Hebrews 12)

The Kingdom of God really is “at hand”

The judgment of God, according to their works.

Peter makes this peculiar statement in his first epistle, “for this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, for them to be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit“. Showing us that those in the previous generations before Christ appearing, that did not know the gospel in its fullness, they had another opportunity to hear it in its entirety, so they could live in the same way as God.

They had another chance to respond more appropriately to the gospel invitation. That Christ after his bodily death descended down into Hades and gave to the spirits of humans a way out, that “they may live according to God in the Spirit” as we just quoted from Peter the Apostle. God had some unfinished business in the previous age.

We see some of a byproduct of this in Matthew 27

⁵² And the graveswere opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

⁵³ And came out of the gravesafter his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many”.

Even as Paul described of this event in Ephesians 4, that “Now that he (Christ) ascended, what is it but that (first) he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

¹⁰ He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, in order for Him to fill all things.“

Meaning, Jesus Christ saturated everything everwhere in His original construct of Spirit and Truth. This was all done while His human body was in a cavewith a stone placed in front of it.

This is why scripture says in Hebrews 4 that “¹³ Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and exposed unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do”. And of the Old Testament passage that “known to God from eternity are all His works. That God pre-played every outcome meticulously and His purposes are played out to perfection. All things make perfect sense on the other side of the veil of human reasoning, and what God planned for happens to a tee.

1. That the Elect obtain God’s Glory. 2. that wickedness is trapped and treated. 3. and God extends His forgiveness and forbearance to those made in His image. That all of His edicts are carried out to perfection. God is sovereign, and that “God does nothing but what He reveals to His servants and prophets”. How much more to us the Elect who are seated with Him in Heavenly places.

The Righteous Judgement of God.

We know according to scripture that God is just. Meaning that God is fair. That He judges and presides over everything. That any question anyone would have about fairness of the why’s, where’s and the when’s, that God is just and the justifier. He makes things right.

Even Peter says that, “God is not willing that any should perish but that all should repent (the individuals responsibility) and receive eternal life”. God abstains from annihilation and goes out of his way to do so as seen in the previous text and as evidenced by Christ at the cross where He paid the price for our short comings so we wouldn’t have to. A fair God wouldn’t do that. You would have to receive life based upon your own merit and you don’t have any.

God gives everyone ample opportunity to repent and come clean by being washed by His sacrificial lamb, a concept that Israel portrayed on holy days as a foretelling of the Christ that would come into the world. A just God wouldn’t do that. You don’t deserve a full pardon. Even during your best behavior on your best day, God owes you nothing on your own merit. That too is a testimony to His patience, in hopes that you will come clean in His prescribed way to receive eternal life.

To think that you could come clean on your own, is the sin of “self righteousness. That was the sin of the Jews. They thought they were the right for others to try to emulate when in reality they were a testimony to the patience of God “because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed” Romans 3.25. But then they too were judged.

Gods forbearance with the Israelites lasted a few thousand years. His testimony with the Jews was a show of His patience as shown here. “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, those who kill the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under herwings, but you were not willing!” God had patiently pleaded with a Israel through the mouth of the prophets for a few thousand years. And how many of them were found righteous . According to the Psalms and quoted by Paul “none no not one”. Romans 3.10

God need not answer anybody. When the account of things are finalized, everyone will see that God is more than fair, He witholds His judgment all along the way. He gives mercy and grace and extends His favors over and over and over.

God doesn’t need to explain anything to anyone, but He does to His Elect.

As we see Paul say in Romans “Eternal life to those who by a patient continuence of doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, but indignation, anguish and wrath on the soul of everyone who does evil. To the Jews first and also to the gentiles” meaning other nationalities as well. Even as we saw judgment with the Jews first, so shall it be to other people “for their is no partiality with God for He is no respecter of persons”. He loves all nationalities equally.

The Jews were given to show us that the patience of God has an end. And that God had consistent mercy on them for a few thousand years, and in Gods final judgment of the Jews how many were worthy? How many of them did what was right?

¹⁰ As it is written:

We can understand more clearly the judgment of God from Paul here in his letter to the Romans, that they were ^[b]treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, ⁶ who “will render to each one according to his deeds” ⁷ eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; ⁸ but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, to them  indignation and wrath, ⁹ tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first (as an example) and also of the ^[c]Greek; ¹⁰ but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. ¹¹ For there is no partiality with God.”

So you can see a full pardon is offered to all of humanity indiscreetly. The Jews were used as an example but they have no preference with God.

We have to trust the processes and patience of God.

Your limited understanding should not triumph over God’s word in your decision making process. You have to trust what is written more than what is presented to your view through common events.

Paul puts it like this in Romans 2 saying “God in His forbearance had passed over the sins that were previously committed, ²⁶ to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, for Him to be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.” Here again showing us that God has mercy, meaning He gives you favor you don’t deserve.

And again from Romans 3.

²¹ But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, ²² even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all ^[f]and on all who believe. For there is no difference; ²³ for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, ²⁴ being justified ^[g]freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, ²⁵ whom God set forth as a ^[h]propitiation (a payment rendered) by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, (and levied against our soul) ²⁶ to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, for Him to be just and the justifier of the one who has faith/trust in Jesus.

²⁷ Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. ²⁸ Therefore we conclude that a person is ^[i]justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. ²⁹ Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also, ³⁰ since there isone God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.”

So the question is then, if God had that patience and forgiveness to the previous generations held in the earth, who were in the dark about God, will He not have the same Mercy to other generations and cultures in the same circumstances? The answer is yes, or God would be unfair.

David had this to say of his son from Bathsheba, that “I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.” This boy had no opportunity to be saved according to the gospel but was still seen in the place past time, with the potential to “live according to God in the spirit” like Peter talked about.

We see here another time given, like those souls Christ preached to in the underworld. There is another collection of souls who get the same opportunity at the end of the New Covenant era, to receive eternal life as spoken of in Revelation 20, ¹² And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before ^[c]God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Bookof Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books”.

This was all done after God’s first fruits were already established in His presence as evidenced in Revelation 20, showing us that God harvests His elect to Glory first, then deals with each one “according to their works”. God is just, and judge of all His own works. God is supreme.

We see that God has a day of reconning for those who did not repent and seek to persue to attain to all the riches of Christ in their lifetime, but however they will recieve a reward based upon what they did attain. But be careful what you think you deserve because we see in Peter that “the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the earth and all man’s works shall melt with fervent heat, for the eternal to be clean.

Meaning that people’s kingdoms and everything they did in a carnal way has no place in God’s Heavenly Kingdom . He is concerned only about peoples invisible part of their mind, soul and spirit. After all that is the only part of you that can interact with God of being like His things. The emotions is the energy that motivates good deeds done by faith without mandates of laws. Not just the laws of Moses, but any law. God looks at the motives of the heart.

Christ used the parable of the loaves in fishes, when explaining what He collects. That when everyone was done eating bread, even all the fragments that were dropped were picked up. For us there are some people who are the fragments who are gathered up last. This is the final harvest of miscellaneous scraps with great importance to God. None were lost. Whatever God sowed into the earth, was harvested back to Him, even as He said through Isaiah, so shall My Word be that proceeded from My mouth. It shall not return to me void, but shall accomplish all My desire”. And what is God’s desire? That His Word in us, returns to Him, with us in it. Are you in His Word? Because that is the vehicle that takes you home. Word.

I personally would rather be found and counted with the Elect of God who ” attain to all the riches of Christ” while we are in this life, then to find myself on the other side regretting lost opportunities.

For those who ask “are there many or few that are saved?” Paul in Romans says this “as by one man’s disobedience manywere made sinners (Adam), so by the obedience of one, Christ, shall manybe made righteous. And “For as by one man’s disobedience manywere made sinners, so by the obedience of one, Christ, shall manybe made righteous.” Meaning more than are not.

God gives eternal life to as many as He wants. So even the Elect cannot be smug in a self righteousness.

Christ making “many righteous”, is the fulfillment of the promise given to Abraham to “Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be”. So is the seed of Christ of those who are born into Him. They are many like the stars of heaven. Blessed be God for His Glorious works of salvation. Not one crumb was missing from the several loaves, but all were collected, so don’t think “the world is going to Hell in a handbasket”. You can’t see what is taking place from down there on earth.

If God’s promise to Abraham is not enough, we need to go no further than to the Throne Room in the Book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ, where people from every culture are present ‘for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, language, tongue, and people, and nation”. And may we add, throughout time, even to the end of creation.

But, Woe to those who collect people like trophies to validate their cause and denomination. To vindicate and justify themselves over others.

Even as Paul preached in Corinthians “one says I am of Appolos, are you not just acting like silly men? However there are many competing demons doing the same things, collecting people like trophies. However they will have nothing to brag about from the fire.

Paul expounded on this more in Romans

Since “no other foundation can be laid which Christ laid”, however we can build upon it, this shows for us that the things that we build physically would fall through because His Kingdom is Spirit and Truth. So the things that are built upon it are Spirit and Truth, being motivators of the heart and love.

So the kind deeds that many have done inhumanity, are not overlooked.  Even as Christ said, for in that you’ve done it to the least of one of these you’ve done it for me. Meaning that those who have sacrificed their lives for the souls and welfare of others, may get another piece of that pie in the sky we call Glory.

Warning!

There are many that confess in Jesus, that are stuck at the crossed waiting for the second coming to save them. These are farther away from the kingdom then those that reject elements of modern Chritianity and still do what’s right in the spirit.

1st Corinthians 15 spells out that Jesus Christ is first, then the Elect being first fruits are next, then those who are Christs at his coming” as the order of those He collects.

The lesson from Peter discussing Christ going to the underbelly of the Earth to preach faith so the spirits of the dead can live according to the spirits of men, shows for us that everyone has equal opportunity. This should also strike at the root of modern-day Phariseeism, that if somebody doesn’t sit in the pews of your church doesn’t mean they’re going to hell. “God doesn’t dwell in buildings made with hands” but He does live in hearts filled with the love of God. They made a home for Him.

Just a note of caution: do not think you can hear deep things of God and go back to your old self. You are responsible for what you do with the revelations and understandings God has presented to you. I would not want to be found a lazy or pre-occupied servant where Christ said “take the talents from him who buried them and cast him into outer darkness where there will be wailing and knashing of teeth. Woe to them for failed opportunities. Hear what the Word of God says.

The Kingdom of God is at hand.

The writer of The Revelation of Jesus Christ had these words to say to the faithful.

¹⁰ Because you have kept ^[g]My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. ^11 [h]Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown”. 

However keep in mind that, just because God has promised to keep us from the hour of trial that comes upon the whole world, that doesn’t mean we can stop our pursuit from pressing in to God, because we may then be counted as a slothful steward of the things of God. And that is going backward. Especially when the time comes because you will need His strength. For some He comes as a thief. We don’t want to know Him that way.

Even as it says in another place, “let no one steal your reward”. A constant vigilance and participation in the things of God is required on your part to secure your inheritance.

Just as John the Apostle said in his second epistle, “Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward”. 

And some excerpts from Hebrews say “let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith”and “For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise“. Meaning, to aquire the things that were said and laid out cryptically in scripture and made known by way of revelations, visitations and comings of Christ. Even as Paul said, the gospel I’ve made known to you I did not receive from man but by revelations from Jesus Christ.

You see  they were counted as faithful because in their efforts to persevere during the hardships and testings they endured in their daily lives, having been found undaunted and undetoured from obtaining the promises of God, and having held their ground of standing on God’s Word. Not being tempted by putting their faith in the provisions and providers of this age, but being found faithful, trusting “in Christ” not having their righteousness, or ways of doing things, but the righteousness which is by faith in Jesus Christ for eternal Glory.

From this they did not sway but stayed strong in their reliance upon God. They endured as seeing Him who is invisible as being their sole provider. Even as Abraham said “I lift my hand to the Lord God, possessed of Heaven and Earth, that I will take not a stitch of clothing or a sandal strap from you lest you say you made me rich.”

Paul describes his work and reward like this “by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which waswith me.” This is what Paul cooperated with.

And from 1st Peter, ³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, ⁴ to an inheritance ^[b]incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven foryou, ⁵ who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

This concept is further developed by Jude who speaks of how “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, ¹⁵ to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly”describing for us those who have aquired the full package of godliness before this age wraps up as evidenced by their participating in judging it before it expires.

Even as Paul said “know ye not that we shall judge angels”. Yes those who “kept not their proper domain” shall be put in their place. The place we call “outer darkness” and the “unquenchable fire”.

And as Isaiah said “they shall go forth and look
Upon the corpses of the men
Who have transgressed against Me.
For their worm does not die,
And their fire is not quenched.
They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.”

With these testimonies laid out for our preponderance, why then would it seam strange, that us having past the test, one skirmish after another, that we the Elect, could forgo the test that “comes upon the face of the earth to try those who dwell there in”? That testing happens to them by mandate, however we did it willingly and ungrudgingly so we don’t need a do-over. And because we followed God’s Holy Spirit in judging ourselves first and applying mercy, then by observing fallen angels with their obsessions, we learn to sellect a verdict. And based upon that verdict, God calibrates us along the way so that we will be ready to “judge angels” because “we know them by their works”, we know them better than they know themselves, even those who hide behind masks of benevolence.

And as Paul said in Ephesians 3 to the intent that now the ^[d]manifold wisdom of God would be made known by the Eklesia (meaning us who are called) to the ^[e]principalities and powers in the heavenly places, ¹¹ according to the eternal purpose.”

And again from Paul, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, ⁶ and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.” Because this is our calling. Godliness. To share in the Father’s works.

So we know what our purpose is.

We followed the command to “come out of her My people lest you partake of her sins and receive of her judgments”. We now know what her sins and judgments are.

Yes and “therefore cleanse yourself from all filthiness of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. And “come out and be ye separate saith the Lord and I will receive you. Then you shall be my son’s son daughters says The Lord.” And so we did.

We are in the world and not of the world. So the rapid fire succession of events have no swayon us. We are of another per-sway-sion. Having been tested and coming forth as gold while we willingly cooperated in this “great salvation spoken by the Lord first and confirmed by those who heard it, like us.

God sent His Son into the world not to condemn the world but to save it. Did you receive that saving? Because that has already been done. Those who reject that saving will be judged accordingly.

What we went through voluntarally, is what others will have to take the cram course for with no repreave because the time is short. Hence the “rapid fire succession of events” made to “try those who are on the earth” who are still attached to the carnal associations, and failed to complete their cross over while there was time. They were still in the middle of their preponderance and decision making. This testing is God’s last push to have you rescued. But you have to attentively cooperate, whole hearted.

Our crossover and prequalifying is complete and we have received the promise that “we are complete in Him who is the head over all principalities and powers”. So you can see why those below can’t touch us.

Even as scripture says “do not think it strange by the trial that is to try you as some strange thing is happening to you, but rejoice to the extent that as you participate in these things, you are partakers of the Divine nature, and escape the corruption that is in the world through lusts”. So you know what our tools are for departure.

We are counted as those closest to the Lamb with tall stature. Meaning we have oversight of these things. How else could we speak in such a matter if it were not true.

That “²² Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth ^[i]through the Spirit”. We have aquired something from God, by passing a test we need not repeat. We were called to follow Him where He is. And that place is in the ever present ubiquitous nature of Gods Holy Spirit, our Helper, Comforter and Teacher.

¹⁸ knowing that you were not redeemed with ^[g]corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, ¹⁹ but with (something much greater being) the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. ²⁰ He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was ^[h]manifest in due time for you ²¹ who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.” As is your dependancy

Jesus Christ is the only human throughout all time, that has a grave with no body in it. There is a testimony from one, that is qualified to instruct us. All other prophets and religious leaders can only speak of this life because they died. The testimony of Christ is that He ever lives, so He has some things for us others don’t.

And from 2nd Peter “⁴ by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these (promises) you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the ^[c]corruption that isin the world“. This is spoken as an established fact, and a foregone conclusion, of promises fulfilled of things we have received from the Son of God as written in His Word. So now you know where you need to go to aquire these provisions from the Father. To His Only Begotten.

For these are the implements for your passage and your safety and sanctification during your journey, so you are protected. As God said through Jesus Christ “be ye Holy as I am Holy. His scripture is the owners manual for those who are practicing godliness, meaning God-like-ness.

Welcome home my friends, if you are of this sort.

You have heard it said that “it will be as in the days of Noah”, that the fallen angels would be at work again? That they would be active again? The trap is laid, they are now being exposed for judgment and we are on standby. This service have all the Elect.

Remember Lot and his wife. Do not look back as though you left something behind. You won’t need it where you are going.

The Kingdom of God is at Hand.

God’sBenefit Package for the Elect

David said in Psalms 116.12 “What shall I render to the Lord
For all His benefitstoward me?
¹³ I will take up the cup of salvation,
And call upon the name of the Lord.
¹⁴ I will pay my vows (our only payment due) to the Lord
Now in the presence of all His people”. 

It is Us the Elect that are called out of the world to secure our place “in Christ”. Being found “in Him”, having his righteousness, and his right doing. Meaning we have a better way of getting things done.

It is important for us to know how to appropriate our benefitspackage. “That we may know the thingsthat God has freely given us” to secure our residence with Him, using His machinations for our needs and short comings and not the counterfeits of the god of this age or crafty men.

We need to know how to effectively manage and use our tools from God, lest we be classified as “lazy stewards” of “the mysteries” of God”. It is required of a steward to be found faithful. Since God gave us His things, let Him not find them dormant.

You can be sure you will be tested, so make sure you correctly know how to apply what God has given you. You are gonna need them. Even as Paul said to the Ephesians “ Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day”. How can you do that if you don’t know what you have?

You must know word, Gods word. God calls His Son Word. In the beginning was the word, the word was with God and the word was God. It is when we adopt the things the Father says to call them our own, we become the adopted. And Jesus said “I will not leave you orphans” so He sent His comforter and His helper to complete that task. We are never alone.

Being adopted in this way we partake of the fullness of the Godhead body. We are complete in them and need no earthly surrogates to help. What we have are given to us for our benefit. This is our benifits package. You cannot add to it or take away from it. You reject it or accept it “to the degree you are able”.

God did not leave you orphans or forsaken to fend for yourself. He said “I will never leave you or forsake you”. We know this is true. We just gave you a clue on what you should use to overcome your tests. Word, Gods word He has written on your heart.

Like Satan said to Jesus in the wilderness “has God really said?” How well can you answer? How well do you know scripture?

God puts Us the Elect in precarious situations to see if We use the world’s safety nets in our apparent shortcomings, or if we apply God’s provisions made known to us in His word, being the collection of the Fathers words whom we call “The Son” and “The Only Begotten”. It is He that is the only element that came forth from the Father that completes us. He makes Himself known to us by words, which is why He is the Word of God before and after “He became flesh and dwelled among us’.

What the words describe are our choices and our options from our service providers from God, for our life, our health and and our safety plans for expressing godliness. Scripture says “when we see Him we shall be like Him”. This is how you do it.

And having found the coverages, providers and perveyors of the things of this age lacking, we accept the terms and conditions of The New Covenant signed with the blood of Christ as sufficient. In this  is way God is our sufficiency. Even as Paul said “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things,may have an abundance for every good work.”

Because of this, let us be found under God’s coverages and His service providers, that He makes known to us in scripture and clearly defined by the training of Gods Holy Spirit. That we may be found “in him” fully sanctified and protected, under His covering, and not in another health or safety provider. For “our God is a jealous God”. And He doesn’t respond kindly to us if we give ourselves to others for their services because our God is a jealous God, He’s got us covered.

It was Gods Holy Spirit in His Son who said “oh Jerusalem how I weep and morn for you. I would’ve gathered you as a mother hen gathers her chicks but you were not willing”. The question is, are you?

That is what “sanctified” means. That is why He says “be ye Holy as I am Holy”. To be of another sort, unearthly, putting on the things of God. To “put on Christ”. You can be sure if Jesus had, or did something, we can have it and do it too. And we should be able to do it as He did it because “as He is, so are we in this world” according to scripture. Not as He was when “He became flesh and dwelled among us” but we can be like Him as He is now in His pre-incarnate embodiment of “Spirit and Truth”. John 4.24 Let us be found here. This is the gift.

God forbid that I be found outside of His provisions and coverages by stepping underneath another’s. That is what spiritual adultery is. To put your trust in another provider.

Like with Adam and Eve in the garden. Having partaken of another, when He was tested. God said “Adam, where are you?” Adam thought, oops! And he felt ashamed for turning from God. Having believed anothers words for god-likeness, Satan, who said “You shall become like God” and actually took that likeness from Adam and Eve and now exercises himself as god over the unsuspecting.

That was mankind’s doing not Gods, and the reason a man had to undo it. This is the reason “the Son became flesh and dwelled among us. Let us be found in His lineage and not Adams.

It wasn’t so much that Adam put on, or subscribed to another provider and coverer, he did that too, but when he did that, he put off God’s protection to do so.You cannot partake of God’s table and demons. They just don’t mix. And don’t anger the Creator God for seeking protections elsewhere.

Adams discourse with Satan was a type of intercourse and made him feel cheap and naked. He was un-covered. He stepped out from underneath Gods safety and was exposed. The very thing he thought he got, is what he did not get. When you turn from God to various other providers, you don’t get the next best thing, but the exact opposite. That is why repent means do an about face and go the other way, to turn.

That is why in our day there are more insurance coverers, health care providers and services, but there is more sickness death and disease, anguish, depression and suicide than any time in the history of mankind. So much so in fact that these and other types of providers are counterfeits of things God has given us, that keep us from God.

These new providers are gobbling up most of the efforts of humanity measured by money, and turned into never ending payments for their profit. This is slavery. But don’t worry. When you really need to use them, they have ways to make you sicker, to kill you quicker. That’s the plan. Population reduction.

“In the day that you eat you shall surely die” were the words of God to Adam. And so too for all those that follow his lead, started their life of being dead to God, of trusting in others for their life, safety, health and quality of life,  one contract at at a time, one payment at a time, and by accepting terms and conditions one click at a time, untill you are fully enveloped in the worlds safety nets associated with the www.eye in the sky and not Gods.

You are in the world and of the world. Of this we are​ called to come out of “lest you partake of her sins and receive of her judgments” and truely trust in the living, loving God.

You have insulted God one rejection after another. Because you are covered by the Baal’s of the day, the  counterfeits and competitor service providers, but who serves whom?

You can’t understand the things God has for you. You are dead to the things of God. In the day you eat you shall die? Yes, many experience a slow death and denial being blind to Him who is “At Hand” ever ready to save you from all your woes, not just your last breath.

Everytime you accept another’s services to make yourself complete, the very thing you think you got, you didn’t get. If you did, you wouldn’t be beholden to them. You wouldn’t make continuel payments, or empowerments to them. That’s what payments do. God’s things are free, but you empower the competitor and insult the true God who made you “in His image and likeness”. But you would have none of it. Even as Satan said, surely you shall not die, but you shall become godlike, without God.

Satan knows that if you do a disconnect from God, he owns you. If he can lure you away from godliness according to the gospel, he can offer you counterfeits. So many so much in fact a collection of all his lies believed by others equals “the dillusion with all lying signs to be wondered, if possible to decieve the Elect. Why? Because it can be described as being godlike, being all knowing and all controlling. Hmm, that sounds like “the internet of things). But it cannot fool us who know that they have the replicant.

So if your provider is growing and getting bigger? You got the lie. This is “The wheat and tares mature together” God told us about. Are you Wheat? Or tares.

Here is a rule of thumb; If you are paying for it, it is not of God. If you are praying for it, it likely is, if it is according to faith in the Spirit. You cannot serve God and money. Even as James says, “you have not because you ask not. And when you do ask, it is to use it on your carnal nature”, showing that you are taking God’s word out of context. You cannot serve God and Mammon, and you cannot buy the things from God the owner of all things. For that it an insult to offer to God any sort of payment. “Your money perishes with you”. Even your own good works. For when you do that, you insult the Father and the Son because if your best efforts on your best day could please God, Jesus would NOT have signed The New Covenant with His blood. He spilled His blood so that you wouldn’t have to and to make good on His promise to provide for you a safe return to Himself. Which we do now if you are willing. That is what Gods word provides. The gospel with eternal Glory. No one else provides this product.

Even as Christ said at the cross “Father, if their be any other way, please let this task pass by me. Without a redirect from the Father, Jesus went forward with the plan, for you to be coveredby His plans and His coverings. Like abiding under the wings of The Almighty. As it was in the beginning.

Isn’t that what Jesus did? He said “oh Jerusalem! The one who stones and kills the prophets and all who are sent to you (including Himself). Oh how I would’ve coveredyou as a mother hen gathers her chicks, but you would have none of Me. Now this destruction is upon you”.  Showing us that they thought they were “in the good hands of God, but we’re really under the care of another. But they too were exposed to the very dangers they thought they were protected from.

If you have found a provision given to you in scripture, and you have the faith, then use it, because “God rewards those that diligently seek him”. Since we in our humanity know how to give good gifts to our children, how much greater gifts do we get from our heavenly father?

If you see a provision in scripture and don’t use it and you look to others, you insult the gift giver. “For if the word spoken to Angels proof steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received its just reward, what makes us think we will escape such judgment if we neglect such a great salvation”. Salvation, meaning saving, are Gods interventions for us on a daily basis. To have a dependency in Him and the things He has thought and said about us, to help us, to be there for us, to make us complete, with no gaps in coverages! We are complete in Him, no exposures, no other dependancies. We depend on Him. We truely trust God.

“What shall I render to the Lord
For all His benefitstoward me?
¹³ I will take up the cup of salvation,
And call upon the name of the Lord.

Part 2. The test.

There iscertain retribution for those who have been opened up to know the mysteries of God and then walk away from them and count them as common things.

Jesus commended the widow for trusting in God for giving her last two pennies away. It was because she knew that she had a more enduring treasure.

The principals for using that treasure is that you have no back up plan for “just in case” as if Gods providers have lapse of coverages.

The widow gave what she had because she knew how to activate her real treasure. That it was opporational and active then, even as it is for us today, if we have that same kind of faith.

The way we aquire is not money.

Jesus Christ claimed to do the works of the Father, because He is The Word of God, and when we do as Jesus did with His words, the Father listens and answers us too. Because we come in the name of His Son, we are cut from the same cloth. “Even the angels see the face of the Father in these little ones” and obey them too.

This is what it means to be in Christ. God’s Words that come out of our mouths sounds like His Son because when we express these requests by faith, that pleases the Father. That is the conduit to receive a provision from God. And because God and Jesus Christ speak a word and it is so, so do we if we do it according to the principles of faith. God accepts no other form of payment.

Even as James says “a perfect person bridles their mouth, who also said to those who did not ask in faith, let not that person recieve anything from the Lord. But some of us ask and receive to move mountains “be thou moved into the sea and it shall be done for you”. So you know there are no obstacles too big to stop you.

Let’s look at our example of Jesus when “He became flesh and dwelled among us” before He finished His task and returned to the Father. Even as Jesus said to the Father “Father I have completed the task you have given Me. I have manifested My Word to those whom you have given Me out if the world and they have kept it. They know truly that I came forth from you, that I return to you, and that they see Me again no more” at least in a carnal way, yet they see Me as I (truly) am. An exact image of You because He who has seen Me has seen the Father. As long as they are not fixed upon the flesh, they can know Me, and they can know You”. And because God is Spirit and God is truth and seeketh such? Such are we. We take Him at His Word. We see Him as He is, and become like Him. And because We accept Him as He is, He accepts us and become the amalgamation of that one.

This is how and where we go to receive, assimilate and appropriate the things of God, so that we can enjoy the reality of who He is, and the blessedness of apprehending the gift of God according to Godliness. Even as John said of Jesus and us, that “in Him dwells the fullness of the Godhead body, and you are complete in Him who is Head over all powers and principalities”. This is true in this age and every age. You are only hindered because you don’t have the faith or the understanding. Faith comes by hearing the word of God because we become that Word, we read to become like God’s Son who “in the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God”.

For us we receive Him in that form, we receive Him as He is and we are like Him. His Word in us equals our likeness of Him. Even as Christ condemned some saying “if you abide in Me and My words abide in you, you shall ask what you want, and it shall be done. Here are your tools to implement what God has given us. This is the currency we need to acquire these things. Not paper instruments with pictures of dead men, but to reiterate word, God’s Word, God’s Son in us. He sees Jesus. In this way we are in Christ, the owner and executor of The Estate, we are joint heirs of the Glory. And we beholding as in a mirror the Glory of the Lord, were transformed into His self-same image from the Glory, to the Glory as by His Spirit. That verse is expired in us. And because God is eternal, and God is complete, we don’t have to wait for anything for the allocation of this but perfect faith. Isn’t this what Paul acknowledged his purpose was? To bring us to this point? ¹³ till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; can you receive this?

For the nay sayers and deniers, you haven’t really got it until it comes out of your own mouth. But here is the promise to those who can receive this.

When He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.

Come join us in examining and reciting these truths until you too are renewed in the spirit of your minds with scripture to become like us because there is no other way to the Father and there is no other way to implement the things, He has given us. Lest any of us fall short of the Glory of God, because that is what has been given to us.

The things that stand between you and the full acquisition of the benefits and coverages provided to us through the Christ of the cross, is by trusting in others and by not being renewed in the spirit of your minds and accepting all the gifts of salvation. For the time is coming when Rev 22.7

It that day many will say “Lord Lord, didn’t we do many good deeds in your name?” And maybe so, but you did not receive the provisions I have for you. Not only did you push the products of the gods of this age, but you did it in My Name, says the Lord. As if God has any association with such. You cannot partake of the Lords table and the table of demons. Even as the Lord says “come out from among them and be ye clean. Then I will receive you. (2 Corinthians 7.1)

You see if you are waiting for a second coming savior to deliver you from the gods of this age, you are deceived. That makes the Christ of the cross a liar. The Son of God came into the world to save is a hoax if He indeed did not accomplish that. And anyone who is waiting for the next Jesus to save them believes a lie and insults God and His Son who spilled His blood and implemented the last and final contract for all our needs called “The New Covenant”.

There is only one saving act and that is the cross of scripture is untrue because “God sent His Son into the world not to condemn those in the world but to save them”. And the Spirit testifies of the words of Jesus that “I go to the Father and you see Me again no more, at least as a human. Because if Jesus has to come again to perform another act to secure your place at the Throne with The Father, His previous Testimony is a lie. And that cannot be because lies are the attributes of Satan, because he has lied from the beginning and he is the father of lies.

So we know the things that are offered to us in this age for our safety, health, happiness and longevity, are illusions at best because “all the promises of God are yes and amen “in Christ” and not ‘in the world’.

So we must understand our distinction. We are those distinguish among Christ as being His guests and co-inhabitants of the Father, enjoying even now the things they enjoy being complete in themselves with no need for others, and so are we. That is why John says in his first epistle.

“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life— ² the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us— ³ that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have oneness with us; and truly our oneness is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. ⁴ And these things we write to you that ^[a]your joy may be full”. And we are absolutely ecstatic.

So let us observe how Jesus implemented His benefits package so that we can learn to implement it ourselves as well.

Jesus Christ was tested in the wilderness to see if He would give in to the god of this age, Satan, whom we call the tempter. You see Jesus Christ had to go through a series of testings to help others through theirs. As it says in Hebrews, “For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.” In this way Christ qualified Himself as the “Author and finisher of our faith” concluding that He is with us in our journey as the closer.

Hebrews also said of the Christ that He “was in all points tempted as we are, without sin. (Meaning He mastered sin) ¹⁶ Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need”. 

So we can understand that we are not alone with our journey, and because we can go to the storehouse of all things, being the Throne room of God, we can “find grace and help” and whatever tools we need to help us in our transformation.

I know some understand God’s throne by the thunder and lighting, but we have a simpler access point. Even as Jesus said while He was in the flesh “ask the Father anything in My name and He will do it, showing us that we have everything we need for any test that comes our way. Even as Peter affirms that “that according to these exceedingly prescious promises, we have been given everything that pertains to life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who had called us”.

And from Ephesians “we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the Heavenlies”.

So we see with Jesus in his wilderness test not succumbing to the god of this age but drawing upon the riches and promisesory provisions of God’s Holy Writ. That if God said a thing and Jesus repeated it as His own, we can be certain that if we reiterate His sayings too, that we would have the same results. Today these things are fulfilled in your hearing, because today is the day of salvation without surrogates.

Doesn’t scripture say that we are joint heirs of the things In Christ? That “it’s the Father’s good pleasure to give us the Kingdom” with its safety features, health prosperity and fullness of joy?

The Kingdom of God is at hand!

It was Mary who was first to the tomb where Jesus lay after His crucifixion and burial. The stone now rolled away, the tomb is empty and Christ has Risen from the dead.

Jesus Christ was Resurrected from the dead, however this is not what Jesus wanted Mary to focus on, as evident with His next words.

¹⁷ Jesus said to Mary, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.

Jesus Christ wanted to adjust their focus and ours as well, on the Ascention. To go to our God and our Father. Even as Paul pleaded with those in Corinth, to be reconciled with the Father. 

In other words do not affix yourself to the crusifixion, death or resurrection of our Lord so much but the Ascention that follows, be fixed on that as your Heavenly gaze. Even as Paul said he reached out to lay hold of why Jesus laid hold of him. To share in His Glory.

It was Adam and Eve who were told “in the day that you eat of the forbidden fruit, you shall die”. Just as simply and precise as that, they died to the things of God. Just as simple and immediate, from the cross we live. Even as it says in Galatians “cursed is everyone who hangs from a tree” meaning Christ who took our curse there, for us to have life in the spirit now. We no longer associating with Adams death, we associate with the life of God in Christ.

Hebrews says, to move past the resurrection with these words;

6 Therefore leaving the elementary principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on all the way to perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,² Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and this we will do if God permits.” So we know the Ascension as our special calling and priveledge

The resurrection is associated with “dead works”. It is an elementary first principal. It is base and foundational. This is why you are to publicly confess at Baptistism, to be buried in the likeness of Christ’s death, to be raised in newness of life right now. This is the main message from Paul in his Epistle to the Romans. If you can receive it. The book of Romans really is simple.

 Christ went to the cross for us to have eternal life. He packaged it and presented it to us as a gift of a debt free life of joy in the Holy Spirit, now being deposited to our account, being “paid in full”. Having defeated Satan Sin and Death, He gave that to us. We are now instructed to follow Him that “where He is we may be also”. Let us go up from here, standing on the resurrection like a platform. Let us be on our journey in the “upward calling of God in Christ Jesus”. Let us walk out our own Ascention as our work of faith..

When Jesus said “follow Me that where I am, you may be also” He ascended to the Father and calls us to Himself. Who also said “where I go you know and the way you know” so He expects us to know this. Who also said “I am the way the truth and the light”, and “no one comes to the Father except through Me”. And if He had not ascended to the Father, we could not have the Ascension as our goal. But even Paul pleaded with the Corinthians “be reconciled to the Father”, because Christ who committed no sin took on our sin for us to take on His self to be reconciled to The Father” as a free gift. Despise not the gift nor the gift giver.

A tremendous price was “paid in full” for you to enjoy unhindered access to everything in The Kingdom of God at hand. This is the objective of your journey as pilgrims and sojourners on earth. And the amazing thing is that, you can be both places at the same time because God is right here right nowq. You can follow us in and out and (proverbially) find pasture. (John 10)

This is why the writer of Hebrews says to some who finish their journey “For you have not come ^[g]to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire” speaking of the Old Covenant, it’s un-profitableness and need for the replacement.

The writer goes on to say “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 (meaning you’ve checked into Heavenly Jerusalem like a hotel registery). You have come to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect (of those who have met their arrival), ²⁴ to Jesus the Mediator of The New Covenant” as being implimentable and fully operational and active today. Today! If you can hear His voice, harden not your heart like the Hebrews did and were stuck in the wilderness for 40 years.

As a side note; the word “church” comes from the Greek word “Eklesia” and is correctly translated about us who are The Called out ones“, which is us who hear the voice saying “come up hither” meaning, to ascend.

Do you hear this ? “But you have come”? Jesus said “follow Me that where I am, Right Now, you may be also. Some of us have done that. It is a foregone conclusion. This is expected for you to arrive here and take your proverbial “seat in the Heavenlies in Christ Jesus far above all principalities and powers”. To rest in that fact throughout your daily challenges.

As Hebrews goes on to say “²⁵ See that you do not refuse Him who calls you. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape certain judgment if we turn away from Him who calls us from heaven. This is the Ascention that is largely overlooked with believers today. Today they don’t here His voice. Do you?

Jesus after He told Mary not to cling then said “Mary, go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father”. So we should not be confused at what direction we must go and what the price is. A

As our Lord would say while He was in the flesh, “let us go up from here”? So let us not rise do much like from the dead. That was our baptism. Let us ascend. Let’s follow our leader, the Author and Finisher of our faith and ascend to His voice. 

It The Son of God, also called The Word of God who became like us, for us in turn to become like Him and follow Him. Where? To our Father and your Father, to our God and your God. How? If Jesus was the Word, became human for a time, then returned to word to return, then it should be perfectly clear which direction you should go and which tools to use.

The Christ of the cross gifted us the resurrection. The Ascention is our focus, our new task and work, but not of human endeavor, but as it were by faith. We now use the Word of God at the behest of The Holy Spirit mingled with our faith to accomplish our tasks. Yes “if you have faith of a mustard seed you shall say to this mountain, be moved into the sea, and it shall be done for you”. We move mountains in the spirit, to arrive at our new domain.

Even Paul said that he sought out, if he may attain to the resurrection, as being the limited focus of the Fathers. But our calling is much higher. Why? Because Paul’s mission as he explained to Festis while he was on trial was that “it was our fathers objective to aquire the resurrection, think it strange we would too? The resurrection is our starting point thanks to the work of the cross and by the New Covenant explanations, this should be clear.

This is what makes believers Christians, the Eklesia and the called, and “People of the way”. They are on a journey but not a horizontal plain, but a verticle ascent.

It is us who build upon these works whose works are greater than his. Even Jesus while He was a man said “greater works shall you do than Me because I go to the Father“.  Because listened to Paul who pleaded with us to be reconciled to the Father, and we are, and we heard Jesus say “follow me that where I am you may be also” and we did. We are now invited to build upon their works, by inviting you to participate, as seen also with these words from Paul from 1 Corinthians 3.

Because“we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. (Not some building on earth). ¹⁰ According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the (invisible, proverbial) foundation, and another builds on it (in an invisible and real way). But let each one take heed how he builds on it. ¹¹ For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. ¹² Now if anyone builds on this foundation with (invisible proverbial) gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, ¹³ each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 

The greater works that we do are not more important, but they are higher in stature. Whoever builds upon these works shall receive a reward. With the foundation being so secure . Let us go up from here with some Old Testament style pictures.

Paul referred to these pictures when he said “When I was a Child, I thought like a child and played like a child and spoke like a child. When I became a man (mature in the faith) I put away childhood things.” And the Israelites were called children some 1200 times throughout their wanderings in the desert, showing for us they were not able to put away the old teaching mechanisms to advance.

The writer of Hebrews says “Today, if you will hear His voice,
⁸ Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
In the day of trial in the wilderness,
⁹ Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,
And saw My works forty years.
¹⁰ Therefore I was angry with that generation, (for not advancing)
And said, ‘They always go astray intheirheart, showing us where our journey takes place
And they have not known My ways.” 

They deveated from the Heavenly Calling.

It was in Old testament times they would say let us go up to Jerusalem. However if you think about that, Jerusalem was not so much up. The Mount of Olives and Mount Zion as well as other places were higher than Jerusalem. Like many cities, Jerusalem was in a sprawled out flat. You could go down from Jerusalem which would take you ultimately to the Dead Sea which is the lowest elevation on Earth. From there you would have to go up.

The Dead Sea is also called the Sea of Galilee which Galilee means gentiles or the Sea of nations. showing for us that the Dead Sea is the sea of gentiles, because those who are without Christ are The walking Dead. It’s a sea of people.

It was for this cause that Jesus Christ recruited the disciples first from the Sea of Galilee/nations. Because his message was sent to the Gentiles, and it was the first disciples that were fishermen, and Jesus Christ said follow me and I will make you a fisher of men. This too was a parable, for without a parable spake he not to the people and this parable had direct reference to the Christ coming to all the Gentiles. To all the people. This is also indirect reference to the promise made to Abraham that “I will make you the father of many nations/gentiles or Galileans, and “in your seed (meaning Christ) all the nation’s/Gentiles of the earth shall be blessed”. This has always been God’s intended target, all nations.

A topographical map would show the progression from the lowest elevation on earth of the dead sea to Jerusalem as a non-written, functionable parable to walk out so that even if you can’t read, you could understand “the call” and “the way” of the Gospel of salvation, was to proverbially go up .

This is why there were many people from every nation, tongue and dialect who would proverbially come up to Jerusalem for the feasts. The conclusion of all the feasts is Resurrection and the Ascention.

It is a shame the forefather’s hope was stuck on the resurrection. The resurrection for us in New Testament nomenclature is the Baptism where we recon our old man dead so we can walk in newness of life. That we identify with the death of Christ, to be raised from the dead, as Romans and elsewhere teaches. It is our starting point.

So now you know “The Ascention”.

The Kingdom of God is at hand.

The Psalmist said “My heart is overflowing with a good theme;
I recite my composition concerning the King;
My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.”

You see this can only be if the King has a Kingdom, and the King has a Queen, or He is no King at all but a dreamer.

When Jesus Christ was on trial for blasphemy, which is impersonating concepts of God, they asked Him if He was a king. He answered saying “you have rightly said however My Kingdom is not from here”.

If you understand scripture correctly, you would know that Christ was born King in a manger and an eternal being doesn’t need to become something they already are. But He hid his Deity momentarily to become one of us to show us The way. Where? To His Kingdom. Not one that is in process associated with the world, but “The Kingdom prepared from the foundations of the world”. The one that presides in a place that is not time sensitive, whose construction is not from earthen specific materials. The one that never fades or needs remodeling, but is in Eternal Glory of being forever new.

It was the call of the prophet Joel who said “Blow the trumpet in  Zion, Consecrate a fast,

Call a sacred assembly;
¹⁶ Gather the people,
Sanctify the congregation,
Assemble the elders, and
Gather the children and nursing babes;

Why? Because of Joel’s next declaration.

“Let the bridegroom go out from His chamber,
And the Bride from her dressing room”. 

It is the Wedding of Christ and His Bride that are laid out in Old Testament literature because it was as relevant in their day, as it should be in ours because eternal things are not seasonal. They are packaged in picture form for our understanding, to reassemble them in the spirit of our minds.

The Wedding Feast is Central to the Gospel message. It is so important in fact that when a culture is blind to this feast, it is because they have forgotten about what is important to God.  This is The Kingdom of God at hand. They have been blinded from the full Gospel and cannot hear the invitation that “The Wedding Feast is now ready” as stated in Matthew 22. They are too busy with playing church and things on earth that distract them from pressing into This “Kingdom of God” and more clearly identifying with those who live there.

The Wedding Feast is an invitation that has not expired. It is part and parcel of The Kingdom of God at hand. However the invitation has an expiration point. Even as Jesus spoke of those who did not prepare for the Wedding in Matthew 25.10 that “while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut”.

Then afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ ¹² But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you. Where you are from.” They failed to cross over into Gods realm. Instead of preparing for the wedding with God’s things, they went to the world to buy. 

Science describes DNA as information, and we understand that scripture is God’s information. Understanding information is knowledge, and “we are begotten by a word of truth” to things of God. In this way we are like Him. You can’t buy these things.

Even as Paul spoke in Galatians “now that you know God, or rather are known by God”. Meaning like Adam knew Eve by transferring information about himself called genetics, and DNA and she bore Adam a son.

When God knows us, and we know God, there is genetic information that is transferred to us. Like Paul said “be ye transfigured by the renewal of your mind.” Be re-scripted by scripture so that “ye may know the things that have truely been given to those who are in Christ” in contrast to those who have preserved themselves in their old Adamic nature, called the flesh. It came from the dust, and returns to the dust. However there are those of us who are born from above that Jesus Christ was trying to explain to Nicodemus about in John 3.3.

So it is important to know from where we are born, and more importantly from whom we are born. That we have both Parents. Even as Jesus said before His physical departure “I will not leave you orphans”. He sent us His helper like Adam had a helper.

As Jesus spoke of the general assembly, and congregation in that day “to what shall I liken this generation? Hmm. It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their companions, ¹⁷ and saying:

¹⁸  But John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ ¹⁹ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!”

They could only see His outside, but there is something much greater within Him that we know in a different way. 

Jesus goes on to say “But Wisdom is justified by Her children.” Whose offspring we are if we understand correctly who our Parents are. Wisdom is the application of knowledge and a nickname for The Bride of Christ, the mother of us all. (Galatians 4.26) the Comforter and Helper like Adam had, being bone of Christ’s bone, and flesh of Christ’s flesh of Glorious Spirit and Truth. These are insights into The Kingdom.

The Lord spoke through the Old Covenant prophet Jeremiah saying this in his day “I will take away from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the Bridegroom and the voice of the Bride.” Showing us the eternal relevance of The Son of Gods Wedding Feast and that, a generation may be under judgement when the wedding seams so foreign to them. Hmm!

They were denied access to The Kingdom of God and the Wedding feast because of their assorted distractions.

Even as Christ scolded the antichrists in His day saying “Pharisees and hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are trying to do so”. Funny thing is they thought they were in God’s Kingdom in that day called Jerusalem on earth, but that was just a physical mimicker made of elements specific to time, whose notions became idolitrous because they failed to associate those things as teaching tools of things eternal.

Man-made things are totally unsuitable for the Creator. Earthen things can only symbolize things invisible. This they forgot, and for this they were rejected and judged. They thought God was earth bound, but oh contrare.

His chosen are on The Way, they are Heavenly bound. We are in transition, not God. God’s Son temporarily tabernacled with us, so we could follow Him back to where He came from.

This is why He is The Way, The Truth and The Light. Who also said Follow Me, that where I am you may be also. He is The Bread of life who left us bread crumbs to Himself. These crumbs we call verses. Let us go up from here. Let’s go into The Wedding Chamber with the correct attire from scripture.

Christ with his own words explained the invitation to The Wedding like this, 22.² “The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, ³ and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the Wedding; and they were not willing to come. ⁴ Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are NOW ready. Come to the Wedding.” but they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. ⁶ And the rest seized his servants, treated them ^[a]spitefully, and killed them. ⁷ But when the king heard about it, He was furious. And He sent out His armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. ⁸ Then He said to his servants, ‘The wedding is NOW ready, but those who were invited (those in Jerusalem on earth) were not worthy. ⁹ Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find (from the Gentiles), invite them to the wedding.’ ¹⁰ So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And The Wedding hall was filled with guests.” Of all nations

If you have followed us this far and you have ears to hear, then this may be your access point to The Bridal chamber, for the gospel is not complete without this feast. 

We need to ask ourselves, if The Wedding Feast from God was proclaimed through the Prophets Joel and Jeremiah, then taken away because they didn’t listen, where does that leave us today in a time when this message seems so foreign to the church at largdy? Has it been taken away from us as well? I mean if it was central to the gospel in those ages, shouldn’t it be of monumental importance to us today as well? That The Wedding Feast is still Now still ready? Hmm.

If we can understand that scripture was given to make visible the invisible, concurring, eternal realities of God in Christ. That there was a “Kingdom prepared from the foundations of the world” as scripture says, that  “The Kingdom of God” is always at hand, that a Kingdom infers to us that there is a Kingdom and a King, a culture and a Queen, then we should accept the fact that the invitation to the Wedding of God’s only Begotten Son is relevant anytime. Think of the wise virgins who went into The Bridal chamber. (Matthew 22)

Why else did Jesus say when they asked if He was a king, that “you have rightly said that I am King, however My Kingdom is not from here” thereby distancing Himself from their Jerusalem and thereby polarizing our focus to focus on something way more substantial.

His Kingdom is not of this creation? So we shouldn’t expect Those who are of this sort to take on a form that is Earth like. “Flesh and bone does not inherit the Kingdom of God”, but the re-spirited mind of faith does. And because “God is Spirit and Truth and seeketh such”? (John 4)  Such are we. This is how we do it.

The Wedding Feast is the Bridal Chamber of Glory. It is about God’s Only Begotten Son being reunited with God’s Holy Spirit. She is the incubation chamber inside of us that God’s Word grows in. Where the two become one in us, and we are collectively assembled a habitation of God in the Spirit, in His comfort zone of His things inside us.

The Disciples come to this realization.

The disciples were instructed not to leave Jerusalem, but go and wait in the upper room “untill you receive My promise that you heard from Me. The promise that Christ would send His Comforter and His helper.

The Tabernacle in that Jerusalem expired and as Jesus said “destroy this Temple and I will rebuild it in three days, showing us that the temple is our human body, and more importantly, the upper room of our temple is the one on our shoulders. Our upper room is the spirit of our minds as being the only thing that we have that the invisible God is akin to. Our upper room becomes The Bridal Chamber where God’s Word and Holy Spirit become one with us and fulfill the scripture inside ourselves that says “and you are complete in Him” and “of His fullness we have received”.

God in the beginning was male and female, we accept God as such. We get the whole package. This is The Wedding Feast, if you are able to receive the bride and groom.

Gods image was split in the beginning when God put Adam into a deep sleep and extracted his rib called Eve. Adam was formed from the earth, Eve was not. She came from man, she was hidden inside him. She was there the whole time but Adam couldn’t see her. And with Jesus being “the last Adam” He has someone hidden inside Him too, and we learn to see Her as not visible as was Eve before she was extracted from Adam.

Here it wasn’t the atom that was split, but Adam. All that are born from them are born into the world and are in a deep sleep from the things of God and need a do over to erase the I’ll effects from the fall in the garden of Eden.

This is why Jesus said you must be born again. The split of Adam and Eve were a prophecy of something invisible because the real split of the image of God is when God first spoke. God said… And the Spirit of God brooded over the face of the waters. From the proverbial mouth of God came forth His Word/Son and His Breath/Spirit. They split when God spoke. To bring these back together in us is The Wedding. This takes place inside of us. Jesus said “The Kingdom of God is within you”, and here is the place God’s male and female components reunite and become one in us. And because the disciples assembled in the upper room, we can understand that the upper room where The Wedding takes place is the upper room on our shoulders, being “the spirit of our minds. Our bodies are the Temple of God, and our minds are our invisble domain suitable for the saturation of God’s Word and Holy Spirit we call “the unction”. These are our parents. And if you understand the contrasts of creation verse the eternal, you could see that all that are human are born out of from their mother crying, but we are born into the family of God with unspeakable joy. Even as scripture says that “we are hidden in Christ and that in Christ “are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge”.

So we who are hidden in Christ see Her here. We see The Bride with The Bridegroom and agree with John the Baptist who spoke of this and said “therefore my joy is fulfilled” ours is overflowing full as well.

The male and female aspects that came forth from the proverbial mouth of God in the beginning, find their union in us in this way. It is not so much that we are invited to the Wedding as much as it is we invite the Wedding to take place in us.

It was Jesus who said “destroy this temple and I will rebuild it in three days, speaking of His body. He was showing us that our body rescripted with scripture and refitted with The Holy Spirit is His temple too, and our mind is the upper room. When we join together around these truths, this is the oneness, the “koinania” 1st John talked about. This is what God said to the Israelites before He Gave them the Old Covenant. “The Lord your God is one” Echad!

Even as Paul said “we knew Christ once according to the flesh, but henceforth know we Him that way no more” meaning never again.

Just as various genes when laid out under a microscope display the makeup and information of a creature, so too when we closely examine the information and make up of The Son of God, being The Word of God, of information about God, we use this for the transfiguration of our mind, being renewed in the spirit of our minds. Our minds being fit with Gods Word, then joined by the expansion of the Holy Spirit for incubating these truths of God, we become one with God. We are in agreement. That is why She was seen as a cloud by day and fire by night in the wilderness in the times of Moses, and she only brooded when all God’s things were assembled there. Where? In Spirit and Truth.

That is why She is The Brooder, Comforter and Christ’s other Helper, like Adam had a helper, “so that you are not left orphans. She is our embrionic sac for the expanse of the Spirit, with God’s word in us, this is our new creation, or us newly made. In this way we have our do over. We are born again.

The male aspect of God’s Word

The Word gene comes from the word Genesis. Genes are information, information received is knowledge. We receive God’s information through knowing Him through His Word. Peter says “we have been given everything that pertains to life and godliness through the knowledge of him who calls us. He is The Genetic strands laid out in our understanding for our conversion, which is where the word conversation comes from, indicating a translation from here to there, our own personal rapture that happens without carnal observation.

We adopt God’s Word and become adopted into the Family of God. We are His offspring with His genetics

Paul said, how is it now that you have known God, or rather been known by God, meaning like Adam knew Eve genetically, how is it that you seek to go back to the weak and beggarly elements of creation? Must I labor again until Christ is formed in you?

So when Nicodemus asked Christ “must we go back to our mother’s womb to be born again. Here is the answer.

The Female aspect of God for us now is The Teacher, Christs Helper and other Parent so that we are not orphans, that teaches us all things concerning Christ. ” She will take what is Mine and make it known to you”. The Brooder will take the Words of Christ we receive from the Gospel and rearrange it in our minds to perfect us.

Paul put it like this, ¹⁸ But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as ^[b]by the Spirit of the Lord.”

This is how and where the Collection of All God’s things, that follows the Joining of The Word of God with The Spirit of God take place. THIS IS THE WEDDING. We are Children of God. It is in our invisble parts we call our heart, soul and mind where this all takes place. Where God’s Word incubates in God’s Holy Spirit inside of you for “The Consumation of All Things” God specific takes place in you. This is The Wedding of God’s Son, and our personal invitation for our inauguration. Welcome to The Wedding.

Because in the beginning God was male and female and made Man In His image, and so he is in the end as well as always.

In this way The Kingdom of God is always at Hand!!!

It was John the Baptist who said of himself “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness. Make straight the paths of the Lord”. With these words the proverbial baton pass was made from the last old Covenant prophet, to the bearer and institutor of The New Covenant, to expire the old way and to blaze “a New and Living Way to The Father“. Because the old way didn’t work.

You see it was after nearly 4 thousand years that the Israelites had failed to accomplish their journey that Christ at His last words to His Father before His crusifiction said “Father if there be any other way”. The answer was no. From this point forward it could not be said from anyone, that mankind could do this on their own. Their journey was always meant to be verticle one and not to stop short in some silly manmade kingdom for God on earth. That was never meant to be our destination.

The old covenant with it’s wanderings, sacrifices, buildings, laws and feast were only shadows of heavenly things used for explanatory purposes only. We have a Heavenly calling. Even as Paul said that “I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ”. So that Jerusalem was not to be their final destination.

It was this same Jesus who said “I go to prepare a place for you, and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. ⁴ And where I go you know, and The Way you know.” ⁵ Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know The Way?” ⁶ Jesus said to him, “I am The Way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me”. Who also said “follow Me that where I am you may be also”. He who ascended to the Father said this for us to acknowledge our journey.

Jesus came to expire the old, so that we would recognize something new. The journey of the ages is now more clear, and the Jerusalem we seek is a Heavenly one. With the first one dismantled we should not be confused. As long as the counterfeit with all lying signs and wonders doesn’t blind you.

Jesus came to fulfill all the law and the prophets as well as that whole culture and give us a more clear direction. Meaning His followers had to depart from that Jerusalem because God was done with it. He said “if they persecute Me, they will persecute you also”, and so they did. They killed Him. They were not welcome there. They would soon be on The Way. Even the Israelites who escaped that time were called “the 12 tribes scattered abroad” and those of the disporia.

After Christs resurrection and right before He was taken up, He told the disciples not to depart from that Jerusalem “until you have heard from Me”. Then they were to depart because that Jerusalem had expired in purpose for God because it became idolitrous. The disciples were on The Way. Jesus Christ then said “go ye therefore unto all the earth teaching and preaching all I told you”. So you know they were called away from there.

Right before Paul’s conversion scripture says, Then Saul/Paul, still  breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest ² and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of The Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound (back) to Jerusalem” to stand trial. Of whom Christ in the spirit as “the light seven times brighter than the sun”, He immediately came to their defense and said “Saul why are you persecuted Me? Meaning, if you come against one of Mine you come against Me. Christ was defending the people of The Way. It was here followers of Christ were first called the people of The Way. The way that is still open for us in our day too.

Then there was a demon possessed girl who saw Paul after his conversion “and cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us The Way of salvation”. It was seen here first that Paul was converted and now known as one of those among the people of The Way.

A spiritual polarity shift had taken place in Saul/Paul, and now the persecutor became the persecuted, as seen by Paul being let down through a window in a basket on a rope to escape the Jews who took a vow to kill him because of his departure to The Way.

It was Aquila and Priscilla who explained to Paul “The Way of God more accurately”.

At Paul’s first visit to Ephesis he prayed for them “to receive the Holy Spirit, then he went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading concerning the things of The Kingdom of God. ⁹ But when some were hardened and did not believe, but spoke evil of The Way”, showing us that the indwelling of The Holy Spirit and The Kingdom of God at Hand were part and parcel of the Gospel, and harmonious with the goals for the believers of The Way.

In Paul’s self defense to Felix the Gentile Governor he said “this I confess to you, that according to The Way which they call a sect, so I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets.” Meaning that the conclusion of The Old Covenant and it’s culture was their starting point, because it had all been fulfilled. Like a stale product on a shelf it was expired and rendered useless.

Peter in his writings acknowledged the people of “The Way“, by calling them “The pilgrims of the Dispersion” of those who departed from Jerusalem having heard from Jesus.

The message of The Way was to be preached to all the Nation’s as being something different from the old one that brought people to the Jerusalem they departed from. And it was the apostle James who called the people of The Way, The 12 Tribes scattered abroad.

The New Covenant started with the Judgment of that Jerusalem so their time frame was short. As scripture says that Christ did a short work on the earth and cut it short in righteousness.

For the many on The Way out from that Jerusalem, it was their persecution from the Jews that dispersed them like Paul participated in. But God chose Paul first from the Satanic bunch, as a prototype so that the other Jews could understand that it wasn’t too late to repent and that they could leave the coming persecution as well. If you remember that Jesus said to His disciples of that Jerusalem that ” not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be cast down” showing us that the destruction of Jerusalem was His intention.

If Paul could be saved from that brood of vipers, anyone could be. Which is important for us today too because Today we still preach The Way of salvation that Aquila and Priscilla taught to Paul for his conversion to another Jerusalem. The Heavenly one. So we must ask, which one do you put your hope in?

Even the writer of Hebrews attested to old testament people on the way calling them “strangers and pilgrims on the earth, which is alsi quoted from David who after finishing the temple preparations for his son Soloman said in prayer “we are aliens and pilgrims before You, (meaning God)
As were all our fathers;
Our days on earth are as a shadow”. So what we are explaining has always been Gods intention.

This shows us that David knew that his journey and Gods temple we’re of a Heavenly sort, for “they looked for a City whose builder and maker was God”, and not one made by David, Solomon or the Jews.

Didn’t Jesus fulfill the promise that David’s Son would build God a Temple? That in the time of Jesus they called Him “The Son of David” for that cause? He said, destroy this Temple and I will build it in three days and Jesus wasn’t talking about Solomon’s Temple or Herod’s as having any relevance or importance. He was talking about His body called “The Body of Christ, of which we become joint heirs of with the completion of our journey of as being “living stones, built up a habitation of God in the Spirit”, as our new domain, as being fellow citizens, saints and members of the household of God”. This is the objective of The Way. That you have a conscience interaction with the reality of the fullness of God even now?

So you see, when it comes to Jerusalem, He wasn’t talking about the Old Covenant one. He was talking about “The Kingdom of God at Hand” as being the objective of our journey of following Christ where He is that we may be also. It was David’s Son Solomon who at the dedication of his temple, acknowledging that “God does not dwell in temples made with human hands”, asking God to hear the voice of those who look at his temple as a memorial, finished his prayer saying “that You may teach them The good Way in which they should walk;  by which we may know and understand that they were on The Way even back then.

And even beggars in Jerusalem in the time of Christ said “son of David have mercy on me” for us to know that Christ fulfilled the prophecy, and that Jesus was the son of David that would build God a temple, and not Solomon. For even David looked for the City whose builder and maker is God”, whose composition and design was of a Heavenly sort.

It was the old Covenant wilderness wanderers, and those before the 10 commands, back to Abraham knew they also they were on a journey, and that it was a Heavenly quest. Flesh and blood doesn’t inherit the kingdom of God, so feet can’t take you there.

So knowing that the believers were called “The Way“. They were also called aliens, strangers, pilgrims and sojourners. The fact is none of Gods people took stock in this age. Like Jesus, we are in the world but not of the world.

To understand the meaning of the word church correctly, it comes from the Greek word Eklisia, which means “the called out ones” indicating that they were to leave and go. They were instructed to be on The Way because they were called to somewhere else. Like Jesus said, follow me. They knew they were going somewhere Heavenly. As their vision became clearer along The Way, they could see Heavenly Jerusalem coming down of God from Heaven. Heavenly Jerusalem, the Mother of “the all” as Paul put it in Galatians 4.26.

The writer of Hebrews had this to offer. After explaining all the law and the prophets purpose, he got to the main point by saying “8 Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, ² a Minister of the ^[a]sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man.” Who then says “therefore, or, because of this, let us go boldly to the throne room of grace”. 

¹⁹ Therefore, brethren, having boldness^[f] to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by a new and living way which He consecrated for us.” Do not despise the gift or the gift giver.

Isn’t this the “follow Me that where I am ye may be” Jesus Christ was speaking about?

As always, The Kingdom of God is at Hand awaiting your arrival. Some of us “go in and out and find pasture”, some look on from a distance, some wait for another. How about you?

For those of you who have completed this journey and accepted this portion of the gospel, take note of the articles written To The Elect so you know what your next work and goal is as becoming a saint and a holy one, speaking of the aquisition of your “new person created in the likeness of Jesus Christ” gifted to you at the cross that you acknowledged at Baptist that you being dead in trespass and sin, are now raised in newness of life. Amen.

The Kingdom of God is at hand!

In the beginning of the Book of Acts, Jesus Christ after His resurrection and before His acsention, now with His Disciples “And being assembled together with them, He commanded them to “do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the Promise of the Father, of which you have heard from Me”. 

If you remember the disciples heard from Christ that He was going to the Father, and when “the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father who testifies of Me”.

Christ saying He would not leave them orphans, meaning without a Parent, that He was leaving and He would send them another Comforter, Helper and Teacher. That the replacement was on Her way. Up until now these features were dimly depicted in the Kingdom of Jerusalem on Earth of whom Christ’s Helper replaces.

If we understand things correctly, before Christ became flesh and dwelt among us, He was “The Word of God”. Meaning something from the mouth of God as being invisble and not a time based construct. Then we should not be surprised that Christ’s counterpart was “bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh”, of Glorious spirit and Truth. She too was from the mouth of God from the beginning, being the breath of God and not a time based construct either.

It was God the Father who said of His Son after His baptism where Christ was filled with The Holy Spirit “this is My Only Begotten Son in whom I am well pleased”. Christ is the Only Begotten of the Father, however we are Begotten in Christ throuth the Gospel to be “a kind of firstfruits of His creation”. This is why Christ said through the prophet Isaiah ” here am I and the offspring who God has given Me. We are for signs and wonders. Isaiah was testifying of Us and Our coming of age.

And why was the Father well pleased with His Only Begotten at His Baptism? Because for the first time since the beginning, the split that started with Adam and Eve, when Adams rib was extracted from him called his helper, this was mended in Christ when the Holy Spirit descended upon Him and remained in Him.

Adam, during his sleep, was halved male and female. At the Baptism from John, Christ is portrayed whole, having both parts in Him, fulfilling in Himself the command from the beginning for the two to become one. To be whole, full and wed together as one. This is why the Gospel says “in Him (Jesus) dwells the fullness of the Godhead body. Meaning “male and female God made them in His image”. The original Male and Female from God are in Christ.

He is the original Adam and Eve dimly portrayed by being turned inside out with the rib removed, Adam and Eve reveal invisible entities of The Godhead.. Now being outside in with the proverbial rib re-installed as displayed with the Holy Spirit descending upon Jesus to remain in Him.

Ever since the sin in the Garden of Eden creation has been off course of producing children of God. This is the need for all things to be restored to that which is from the beginning.

This is why Paul called Jesus “the last Adam” signifying that there was a new assembly line of offspring of those made in the image of God, that was previously allocated to Adam, but is now fulfilled “in Christ”. The Adamic race was eternally lost and going the wrong way without Christ. But that race was salvaged through repentance, meaning re-turning to God. This is what the Savior did. For this Christ is The Savior, to all that believe in His Name. “To them He gave Power to become His offspring. That Power is The Word joined with the Holy Spirit.

Jesus having received the Holy Spirit at His baptism, became The Restored image of God by having both parts male and female being The Word of God and The Breath/Spirit of God united in the man vessel called Jesus. Like us when we speak, our word comes out with the thrust of our breath by the will of the designer we call The Father.

They are all one in composition and design, and invisble. Then in the spirit of our minds they are melded and Wed together equalling the total fullness of God, both male and female as defined by the Father and why Christ said “I and the Father are one” meaning fully cohesive. Christ said “it is the Father in Me that does the works”  and showing they are totally congruent. 

It was John the Baptist who  performed Christs Baptism, of which John had said, it was necessary to fulfill all righteousness. (John 3.29) John then gave the formal announcement of the Newly Weds saying ” He who has the Bride is the Bridegroom; but the friend (and Best Man at the wedding) of the Bridegroom, who stands and hears Him, rejoices greatly because of the Bridegroom’s voice.” Meaning the Wedding event was accomplished at Christ’s Baptism where the two became one. The account from Luke says, The Holy Spirit descended upon Christ “in bodily form” and fit inside of him perfectly.

The terms bride and groom correctly associated are only valid with a wedding event and Newly Weds. They are totally unsuitable for the unwed or engaged or they would be Fiance’s. John goes on to say about the Newly Weds (here amending from the Greek word ekionos) “They must increase and I must decrease”. John was speaking of decreasing as the last old testament prophet in the succession of old Jerusalem’s prophets that were at their time of expiration. All the law and the prophets are emphatically fulfilled “in Christ”. That is why Jesus said, among those born among women there is none greater than John the Baptist, however those who are of the kingdom are greater than he, clarifying the demarcation line and speaking of Us who are brought forth through these things.

The prophets of old could only testify of a coming one, and Christ had come and closed that era. Christ is the conclusion of all they said. Even as Christ said to Nathaniel “I saw you when you were under the fig tree”, showing He was the “Man called The Branch” spoken from Zechariah to fulfill the last sign to perform to close that book.

This is why The Kingdom of God is at hand, of something un-graspable, but totally aprehendable to the renewed mind of the Spirit.

This is why the writer of Hebrews opens up with these words describing the prophets limited role in the things of God “ God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, ² has in these last days (being The New Covenant era) spoken to us by His Son”. Spoken is a past tense term. There is nothing left to say but to repeat it. That is why it is called the Gospel, meaning good news, and the reason Jude says to “contend earnestly for the faith once and for all delivered to the saints”.

This verse from Hebrews shows the batton pass was completed from old to new. The Prophets of old speak of things expired because it is through the continual revelations of things in Christ is the full restoration of what they were talking about.

If you remember, Jesus said “it is not for you to know the things the Father has put under his own authority”. Meaning, the disciples who are still yet carnal and in their old testament thinking when Christ spoke that to them. Meaning if you are in the old, that could be true of you too. But We assure you that the new wine us better.

They could not understand that the restoration of all things is not an event on planet Earth but something each one of us experiences in our own order, of things we receive by The Teacher, comforter and other Parent who now dwells within us.

Even as Paul spoke of in 1st Corinthians 15. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. ²³ But each one in their own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His (consecutive) comings”. The Gospel accommodates each one in their own order. So that each age would have a harvest. “If you can receive it”. Otherwise the verse is true for you too that “it is not for you to know the things that the Father has put in His own authority”. But Christ told some of us that “I have made known to you all things from the Father”. That’s why we speak with such clarity.

Christ said “Lo the volume of the book is written of Me”. And “Father I have finished the works you have given me to do” so that old Covenant is done. All things are restored to “That which is from the beginning”. Each according to their own order, showing that the Gospel is progressive according to what you were able to receive. No one is held back or in limbo because “Now the gospel of The Kingdom is being preached and all are entering”, and “the violent take it by force” meaning, we take the Father at His Word and We don’t take no for an answer, regardless what the obstacles may be. Like Joshua and Caleb, “if God gave as a thing, we are more than able to possess it” and We do. For “all the promises of God are (a resounding) yes and amen in Christ, the author and finisher of our faith, and He does not tarry.

Like fish coming out of the ocean, to swim up river to the spawning waters from which they were from, we clamour up the things God has said, taking Him at His Word and become heirs, joint heirs with Christ and the recipients of the things that are Heavenly. We come out of the Sea of Galilee, meaning nation’s, or gentiles, through the gush of the Living Waters, to receive the promises in Thr Gospel of the things the Father has said to Us. The Works are Finished? Yes, in us. Gods Word does what He said. We are those who have the full Testimony of Jesus Christ.

From The Beginning.

What Adam and Eve had lost, Christ regained. In the day they died, Adam and Eve lost the Holy Spirit and became dead to the things of God. When we receive God’s Word and Holy Spirit, we are made alive agian to the things of God. This is The Restoration of All Things for becoming children of God with “the image of God” corrected in us having the male and female components of God fully functional. You are in Adam, or in Christ. You are “In that day you shall surely die”, or in “The day of The Lord” and in “That Day” and “The Day of The Lord and “The Day of Christ”  all the prophets eluded to, that pointed to Christ’s on earth. By a man all sinned and by a man the fall was corrected. This why we are resurrected because we are “The Offspring of The Ressurection”. Being born of a new nature of The Word and Spirit, our Heavenly Parents. The Word of God is the seed sown in our hearts, and The Spirit is the embrionic sac that becomes an expanse greater than the heavens above the earth. And as a catapillar cannot understand the life and flight if a butterfly, so too the carnal man cannot receive the things of God, but The Elect have.

Even as Peter said “Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, ¹¹ searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow”. We are those Glories.

You see in the beginning Adam was split in half when his counterpart called the rib, was separated and became Eve. This is why the quest was given for man and woman were called in Holy matrimony to be one.

Then to reunite the breath of God with the word of God in us, is a full collection of all that God is. Even as scripture said of Christ “for in him dwells the fullness of the godhead body, (male and female) and ye are complete in Him”. We have everything He has. This is because we accept Christ as he is, and we were not left orphans, He sent us His helper, our comforter who teaches us All (these) things that dwells in us now. And it is the Word of God and the Holy Spirit of God, in Us, that generates The Kingdom of God in Us. The Holy Spirit confirms to our spirit in Us that we are the Children of God.

Now the Kingdom of God that does not come with (carnal) observation is clearly seen with the eyes of our understanding, that the Kingdom of God is within us and not without. Spirit does not take on carnal form. This is why Paul prayed for the eyes of your understanding to be opened, because these things are not for the carnal minded. “The carnal mind is enmity against God, and us who have received.

Now we have the word & Spirit, that Wells up inside of us, and becomes a kingdom. This is what Christ meant when he said “the kingdom of God is within you”. If we adopt God’s Word and God’s Holy Spirit, we are the adopted.

The only way that Jesus Christ could have said that “The kingdom of God is at hand” and for it to be true, is if there is an Eternal Capital City, completely function and open for business. And there is. She is called “Heavenly Jerusalem, the Mother of us all” as Paul put it in Galatians 4.26. And “The Kingdom prepared from the foundations of the world.

I mean “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever”. So it is fitting that His counterpart is as well. And She is a component of “The kingdom prepared from the foundations of the world” because she too is just as eternal as Christ himself. She has an equal share in the Kingdom with the father in the Son. Is she really eternal? But of course, she was seen in the beginning during creation brooding over the face of the waters.

This is the same Brooder who spoke through Jesus to old Jerusalem “oh how I mourn for you, how I would have gathered you as a Hen gathers Her chicks but you were not willing. Showing us that the female aspect of God was present in Christ.

If that is not proof enough, then we can see Her brood over the Israelites in the wilderness as a cloud by day, and a pillar of fire by night. When She swooped down on the disciples in old Jerusalem, they were seen with cloven tongues of fire.

The difference between the Israelites in the wilderness and the New testament believers was, for one the fire was above them and the others the fire came from within. Even as the disciples said on ­The Way to Emmaus as they discovered these things “Didn’t our hearts burn within us?”Doesn’t your heart burn within you?

Whereas some teachings used to come from Jerusalem on Sabbath days, now the full Gospel comes from the spirit as being the teacher.

Even as Paul had said, for we are being transfigured into the selfsame image from the glory to the glory as by the spirit. Showing what Her purpose is. Even as Christ said when the Holy Spirit My Helper comes, it is to break down the things of Mine and make them palatable to you, to help you understand them.

Now it is a sort of blasphemy to think that Christ’s counterpart and helper is another male, and The Father, Son and Spirit have no feminine? It is also blasphemy to think we could allocate a place on Earth to centralize the things of God for carnal fascinations. Be amazed in the Spirit of your mind!

Did not the Christ speak to the Jews “you are not entering the Kingdom, nor are you allowing those who are trying to do so? That is why that Jerusalem became “The Abomination that makes desolation”. And from the mouth of Jesus about the copy of Jerusalem on earth that became idolitrous and full of adulterers, ” Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down”. And of Her rulers? Jesus called them, brood of vipers, sons of Satan, how shall you escape the fires of Hell?

So we need to clearly understand who our Mother is and support Her cause lest we fix our eyes on something on earth and remain blind to these truths.

John the Revelator had this to say.

“Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.” ¹⁰ And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the ^[i]holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, ¹¹ having the glory of God.

And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. ²³ The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. 

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

Amen
