Part 1 The Parakleet. Christ’s comforter/ helper, mother of His children.

We know Them who said “let Us make man in Our image and Our likeness” showing us that God is plural, saying Us and Our. Then They, the plurality of God, proceeded to make us male and female. They did that because They wanted us to know Them that way, male and female. That is why we have these similarities. That is why the mandate went out for the two to become one and there is no reproduction of a species without this. This is what “wed” or “wedding” means. To put the halves together to make a whole. Then there can be an offspring or a multiplying. 

We draw upon this truth, and  we can call God “They” and “Them” just like They referred to themselves as “Us”. Let Us make mankind in our image, a likeness thereof.  We call them Adam and Eve, and “they” and  “them” too because man projects God through these two components. This is what Marriage ceremonies portray, “the two become one”. This is what and why we are called to the Wedding Feast in Matthew 22.

And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables (of similarities) and said: 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 fattened cattle are killed, and all things are (already) ready. Come to the wedding.

So you can see that God has all the male and female attributes inside Himself for self replication. They originated from Him. God has the original that a bride and groom were pattered after. Creation reflects this in a man and women who are wed saying “for this reason a man shall leave father and mother and cleave to His Bride. They become husband and wife.

Here are some words we need to know from the Greek to understand the Bride of Christ and Mother of those born again of a Heavenly sort. These are the basics of being “born again”. And more precisely “borne from above”. John 3.

In the book of John, Christ said that He would not leave us orphans, that He would send a replacement of Him. Like Him but not Him being a co-equal in and of the Godhead.

Another comforter and helper” like Adam had a comforter and helper. Someone like Christ but not Him. She has to be in all respects complimentary to Him, being “bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh” of glorious Spirit and Truth. Unless you think there are 3 men ruling from Heaven, then God would only be male and His statement that Adam and Eve were a similitude of Him would be false but they are not. Like ALL of scripture, Adam and Eve portray invisible realities and Heavenly attributes in God. As it says in scripture “eye has  not seen, nor heart the things that God has for you. But God has revealed them to us by His Spirit. Yes, even the deep things of God.

Christs other helper like Adam had Eve, like Him but not Him. Meaning bone of His bone and Flesh of His flesh, in composition and design similar to Him of non-matter before creation “spirit and truth”. That He would send this “comforter”, whom “the world can neither see or know, but you will know for she will be with you and in you”. Some of us call Her “The Unction of God”. 1 John 2.20

Here we have the hierarchy of the family of God and the parents of those who are “in Christ” and born of Them.

If we look at the Son of God and His Bride in the Greek, it takes on a clear meaning. The English translators committed a huge blunder.

This is the first part in a series that deal with these obscurities in the English translations from the Greek and Hebrew scriptures. And we will use scripture to back this up.

Here is the Bride of Christ, “Heavenly Jeru-shalom, the Mother of us all” (Galatians 4.26) of those who are in the faith.

Para-klete is the Greek word we get “comforter” from. “Para” means over arching, like a parachute. A sort of covering. We see this in the times of Moses as the cloud by day and the fire by night that covered and protected them.

We see Her again when the feminine in Christ said “oh Jerus-halom, (meaning city of peace) how I would’ve gathered you as a Mother hen gathers Her chicks, but you are not willing!” The question is, are you? He said He wouldn’t leave us orphans (which means parent-less), that He would send another like Him but not Him. That the helper would come and show you all things that pertains to God, who “will come and take what is mine and declare it to you”. The question is are you ready for this declaration?

 

The Greek word “Klete” comes from “klesia” which is plural and means “the called out ones” . Klete is singular and the covering is over the klesia. The Holy Spirit is also referred to as the Para-klesia, so this should be fairly obvious. Klesia and Klete have the same origins in the Greek. And para means stretched over like a para-chute. Think of the cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night they had with Moses.

Klesia means the called. Ek means out. Ek-klesia means “the called out ones”. This is what the translators call “church” which today is commonly thought of as buildings of men’s devising. We are warned not to associate God with human devising’s. Exodus 20.25. And in truth, the term church is etymologically related to circle, circus and sorcery.

But it is the Holy Spirit who is the other Parent so that you are not left orphans, She is our Mother and Comforter, another Parent, called the Para-klete over Her brood of children and the Elect, of those who are “the called” who are “in Christ” of those in the world but not of the world.

This comforter/helper comes from the Greek word “parakleetos” which is from the word “parakleesis” meaning comfort, consolation and exhortation. The “parakleetos’ is the one that brings comfort, consolation, and exhortation. It is the actions of the parakleetos that brings comfort to the “ekleesia” meaning the “called out ones”‘

We have the giver, the gift and the receiver of the gift. We have the Motherer of the Ek-klesia/church/the called out ones.

We know even in English that “para” means over. Like parachute, paratroop, and so on. So also with the Greek. But who is the “parakleetos” over? The Kleesia. And who are they? Well “kleesia” means the called, the invited, the saints, and is where the word “Ekkleesia” comes from. This is the word  translated into “church”. So the “Para” is over the church, meaning not the building or earthly hierarchy but the heavenly called ones. Those who hear the voice from heaven. Not in a building but “where two or more are gathered together in His name”, underneath Her.
Like the old testament picture when the Tabernacle of meeting with the Holy of Holies was set up, with the priests and all the articles assembled on feast days,
the cloud that over shadowed them was the Holy Spirit, as described in Exodus 40. 34 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys: 37 but if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up. 38 For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys”. This is a picture of a work and function of God’s Holy Spirit. Like baby chicks under Her brood.
It is here that you have to remember that what God taught them in picture form, He teaches us through words called scripture.
As understood in Gods city in the old testament, “for His name is on Her”, He has Her covered, they are wed, they are one.
The para is over those gathered to the eternal truths found “in Christ” for the “called out” are the called “in Christ” Like one of the plural in the man Jesus said, “Oh how I would’ve gathered you as a (mother) Hen gathers Her chicks, but you were not willing.  It wasn’t so much that Yeshua/Jesus was saying that, but His counterpart the Holy Spirit inside of Him spoke out. The two are one.
She is “in Christ” as we are “in Christ” and we are under Her care, comfort and tutelage. She is the other comforter the helper, help mate, wife and Bride, “the Mother of us all”, meaning all who are “in Christ”.
When the body of Christ comes together, meaning us the living stones gathered a habitation of God in the Spirit, that may have the prophets apostles evangelists and teachers, meaning the ekklisia, this is when we practice these truths collectively. This can be as simple as “where two or more are gathered in My name”.
Just as earthly Jerusalem was a comforter, teacher, tutor and mother by mirroring the eternal, to bring us to Christ so also is our gathering to these truths for She is “Spirit and Truth”. Your local meaning places are temporary having the same purpose as Jerusalem on Earth did, to bring all into the full stature of the son of God, but when what is mature has come that which is in part will be done away with. When faith has come, you put away the visual instruments of faith, they Expire.
Paul said it like this. “When I was a child, I thought like a child and spoke like a child. When I became a man, or an adult, I put away childhood things”. It is all the law and the prophets, with all the feast articles, places, times and procedures, that become irrelevant if you can make the transition. For this reason the Israelites were called “children” over a thousand times with Moses, even those 80 years of age, because they could not make this connection.
Here is the break down from Strong’s Greek concordance for your verification
#3874 = parakleesis, meaning helper and comforter,the other parent.
#3870= para, over
#2821= kleesis, and means an invitation, and the invited are the called, from 2564
#2564= kaleo, meaning to call
#1577 ekklesia , are the called, from #2564 . This is where the translated chose to use the word “church”. A better translation is “general assembly” or “congregation” as understood from Hebrews 12.22+.
In English the helper/comforter/other parent like Christ but not Christ, is over the Assembly. Christ is over Her. She is hidden
in Christ as are we. The church is not the bride of Christ, the Holy Spirit is for She is the covering over the brood. There is nothing on earth or time and matter that is of the right design and composition to qualify being the Bride of Christ but Her, of being “bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh” of glorious “Spirit and Truth” (John 4-). It is not 3 men in heaven who create and govern all things. It is clear “in the beginning God created man, or humanity in His image and likeness, in His image made He them make and female. The female is of equal value and importance as the male. She has contributions the male does not. Her attributes are eternal. The collection of Her attributes were with God from the beginning of time as “The Kingdom created from (before) the foundations of the world”. She is as eternal as the male counterpart. You cannot have one without the other.
So we have the caller calling an invitation,calling to a people to be gathered to the place of the calling under the Holy Spirit, the Parakleet. This is the family structure of the spirit. This is partially spelled out in 1 Corinthians 11 in the topic of “coverings”. We will discuss this topic more later.
As all born from the flesh from Adam and Eve die. The replacement for Adam and Eve is Christ and His comforter, helper, Holy Spirit, the parents of the new creation. And we are this kind if indeed His spirit dwells in us.
You are counted “in Adam” unless you are born again, then you are “in Christ” a new creation. You have a new set of parents.
And again from Galatians 4.26 “the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all” And She is the city/bride/wife of Christ/comforter/another helper/Holy Spirit the two come together under the New Covenant to be one for the propagation of the species for the procreation of the new creation of those born of Word/ Jesus and Spirit/ helper.
John 3.29 says “He who has the Bride (the helper, another comforter, parent so we are not orphans) is the Bridegroom”. (past tense) If They were not united, or wed, there would be no offspring and we would still be dead in our sins, but now they are and so are we. If you are of this kind. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the Children of God. As many as are not led by Her are not born of Her and Him. They are not His. For the world cannot know Her or see Her. God’s things are spiritually discerned. And this birth too is not a time dimensional truth started with Pentecost, For even Isaac was born of the Spirit. way before the time of Jesus. (Gal 4.29). Pentecost just showed in the physical the eternal realities like the man Jesus did. As we always say, scripture is to make visible the invisble things of God. Any other uses divide the fold of God.
The Bridegroom Has the Bride, The King is in the City on the throne even now! Like He was before He came in the flesh to show us the way. Hebrews 13.8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday today and forever. He never was not King. He was born King in the man Jesus the ever lasting Father and king of Kings but not of “earthly” Jerusalem. That also was for demonstrative purposes only. For His kingdom is not of this world, and not of this age of the 6 days of creating.
The Bride is Heavenly Jerusalem come down from Heaven of the Father to us as we , the called, are assembled together in our upper room, being the one on our shoulders, of the spirit of our mind, anywhere 2 or more are gathered in His Name.
She is as eternal as Her King, in the kingdom “finished from the foundations of the world”. He always has been as with Her also.
Ekionos.
This is the Kingdom of God which is always at Hand!

New Creation part 5 Heavenly Jerusalem

Posted on November 1, 2014 by ADMIN

The carnal man interprets Gods words into time and events to come into being for the carnal senses. Something that is not yet but will be. They call this prophesy. But prophesy is just the speaking forth what already is and always will be that is to be revealed, or unveiled. We are instructed by scripture to look to the invisible. Not the future. 2 Corinthians 4.18

 
It is like a pioneer who travels lands for new discoveries. There are many who have traveled to name new lands mountains and species for each new discovery they find. But what they discover did not just come into being the moment they found it. Other peoples had names for these things according to their culture. But a new people forage through the land and come across something they have not seen before and call it new. It was only new for them. It became new because they just found it, but it had already been there.
 
This is the way it works with what we call the new creation in scripture. It is what was there from the beginning (1 John 1.1+). So it is not new in the sense of just now come into existence for God is not that. It is that you just discovered it.
 
Even like today some talk of having a new house or a new car, but somebody had it before them. This is the way it is with things of God. We don’t wait to possess them later but to discover. We don’t wait to be with Him later as though He is not yet for He said He would never leave us. He is like a vast land with innumerable treasures for you to discover about Him for the first time as you sojourn with Him in the here and now. This too is the Kingdom of God.
 
Think about with Columbus giving his first account of the new land. It was old for the Indians. Or some of the early travelers coming back with news about a new culture and a new tribe or city they discovered. It was only new for them because they had just experienced it for the first time.
 
This is the way it is with the “New Jerusalem come down out of Heaven from God” (Revelation 21.10). It is not new in the sense of it just being made or Jesus would not have said to the Samaritan lady at the well “the time that is coming now is when you will no longer worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem (on Earth), for the Father is spirit and seeks such to worship Him in spirit and truth”. The city that comes down out of heaven is spirit and truth.
 
And this is the new city in the new land, the promise land “In Christ” where the promises have their fulfillment. Which is the reason why in all the new testament there are no references to the land as though it is future for in Christ is the fulfillment of all things. Not Jesus the man but His invisible eternal self. Not in time and matter but spirit and truth. All things are In Christ and all the promises of God are yes and amen In Him. 2 Corinthians 1.20. They are actuated In Him.
 
So if you are looking forward to an event in the future to see the Kingdom of God having the New Jerusalem with buildings and a temple with the Holy of Holy’s on earth you are seeking something that will not be, and missing out on what already is because it is not of this age of this creation “For Christ entered not the Holy place made with hands, but into heaven itself now” And as long as this place on earth to come into being exists in your mind you are closed off to the heavenly one (Hebrews 9.8) to a greater more perfect temple not made with hands, that is not of this creation (Hebrews 9.1+24) The one at hand.
This is why the final unveiling in the Book of the “Revelation of Jesus Christ” is “Heavenly Jerusalem come down from God”. Maybe the book should have been called “The Revelation of Heavenly Jerusalem”. But then you would not understand that she too is “In Christ”. She is spirit and truth and not of time and matter at all.
However amazing it is that she is listed as the last revelation may be, Paul the apostle knew Her, Heavenly Jerusalem as our origin saying; the Jerusalem above is the Mother of us all”. (Galatians 4.26)
So did John know her as the beginning or the end? Was his testimony of something yet future? Then why would he write this? 1st John 1.1 That which was from the beginning which we have heard which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon which our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life” And 2.7 I write no new commandment but the old one from the beginning”. Not a new reality as though it is not. It is just new to you at the beginning, at your beginning. And 2.24 Let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father”.
So He doesn’t point to a future event for our focus but that which already is. This is our discovery.
First John goes on to say 2.26 these things I have written to you about those trying to deceive you”. Yes they teach of another Jesus. A future one, like a second coming one and a second coming city, not that which is from the beginning. 
 
2 Corinthians 5.17 If anyone is In Christ they are a new creation. Old things pass away all things become new. And all (New) things are of God”. Yes in spirit immovable unshakable pre-existent truth. Hebrews 12.27 “Yet once more” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as the things that are made (time and matter) so that the things which cannot be shaken may remain”. (the eternal). And this too is not a singular event in time but a process that happens to each one of us.
 
So each one of us in this journey for new discoveries should seek this city from God. (Colossians 3.1) Not as a construct of time and matter but “The Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world” (Matthew 25.34)
 
The Kingdom of God is at hand.

EKEINOS # 1 MEANS THEY AND THEM NOT HE AND HIM

Posted on June 22, 2014 by ADMIN

Download PDF

In the notes at the bottom of the page in chapter 2 of the book of John, in my Greek interlinear it states of the translaters, “John repeatedly uses the demonstrative adjective ekeinos in the sense of “he” referring to Christ”.
This is uncommon. Ekeinos is translated “them , they and that” in all the new testament with the exception of the book of John and 1st John. In other words John was referring to Christ as a plurality by using “ekeinos” and better translated “they” or “them” in those passages.
The reason John did this I believe is that John was revealing the nature of the God head.  As I wrote in “The Bridegroom has the Bride” Christ and the Holy Spirit are two portions of the Godhead and are correctly interpreted as “they” and “them”
In the Strongs #1565 ekeinos means they, them ,those, meaning a plurality.
Here are some verses I am referring to.
29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled. 30 He must increase, but I must decrease. 31 He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.32 And what He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony. 33 He who has received His testimony has certified that God is true. 34 For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure. 35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand.
So John the baptist’s ministry as “the friend”, witnessed the union through baptism, “On whom you see the spirit descending and remaining upon”. So then in clarifying 3.31 the one from above is above all, uniting and becoming one with Christ. This is like Adam and Eve, the two become one, reuniting the true split and through that union are those born from above. The spirit from above in union with the Son for the new creation. II Cor 5.17
I believe that John was pointing to this union by using the word ekienos for Christ so that the reader would know the plurality of Christ. The translators muted that plural word. In fact throughout the book of John the translators took every liberty and opportunity they could to turn all adjectives pertaining to Christ and the Holy Spirit to “HE”. Not only did they interpret “they” and “them” as “He”, but they also capitalized “He” and “Him” This was all done to elevate their distorted view of the Godhead, of which God said He made it for us male and female. Gen 1.27.
He /They who also said “let US make man in our image, in OUR likeness.
This same distortion is evident in John writing about the “helper” the “comforter” the other parent so they are not “orphans”. Unless it is Adam and Steve that reflect the Godhead being only male. I have a problem with that.
Anyway I don’t know the Greek well enough to understand why they did this, but I know man.
I can rest just fine in this but it is those who are erroneously waiting to become The Bride when you can no more become The Bride then you can become The Son. We can only take on characteristics of our parents.
Paul says in Galatians 4.26 The Jerusalem above is free, which is the Mother of us all.
So the union is complete unless we are all born out of wedlock. Heavenly Jerusalem is the final Revelation of Christ in the book “The Revelation of Jesus Christ”.
Blessings

Revelation of the Bride

Posted on June 8, 2014 by ADMIN

I don’t understand why the church today thinks that it is the literal bride of Christ. It is no more the bride of Christ than Eve or the tabernacle or the temple. These are all female images displaying eternal things unexposed to the carnal mind, unveiling the intimacies of the living God, His helper, another comforter, the one sent so we would not be orphans. To those who are born of the spirit.

If you have a view from above, a heavenly one, looking down on the tabernacle of meeting with the holies and most holy, or even the temple in Ezekiel, you see it is laid out like a human body taking on human form having the head facing east. The Holy of Holies being the mind and reason.

God called Israel His Son in Exodus 4.22. But Israel was not really Gods son but an image like Adam and Eve. The same with Solomon, meaning peace, (Shalome)and Jerusalem (Yeru-Shalome) meaning city of peace.  These portray the King and His Bride. The male and female working together fully portray God being made “in His image and likeness made He them male and female”. This is what Adam, Israel and Solomon portrayed, but then expired by Jesus Christ who said, “he who has seen Me has seen the Father”.

As with the tabernacle so too with Jerusalem. The twelve tribes are positioned around the tabernacle or the city as if to protect her. To protect her, to cover her. She is hidden in them. Israel is the same picture as the body of Christ, the prophets were the eyes.

We know the prophets cried over the city Jerusalem and called her “mother”, but she was not really their mother any more than Israel was Gods Son. Israel and the kingdom are like Adam and Eve. Unlike with Adam who’s bride was taken out of his side, the city/bride, is hidden inside of Israel, from within ,portraying “In Christ”. And outsiders or foreigners were not to partake in the workings of the temple which are the invisible things of God.

Paul defined himself as a steward of these mysteries of God, to dispense to the elect of God, those in Christ, not Adam. These mysteries are the interpretation of the physical into the eternal spiritual counter part. This is what a prophet does. He is to make simple the eternal realities of God through pictures and patterns and visions. You see the Jewish leaders thought the temporary pictures were the real deal when Jesus said that He would re-build the temple in 3 days, they said that it took Solomon years to build. The Lord was never talking about the physical. The earthen pictures always refer to an eternal counterpart. Jesus was talking about His body, the invisible Kingdom.

Now I hate to break it to the church on earth but what we are is the same as was earthly Jerusalem, a temporary picture of the eternal realities of the Kingdom of God which are at hand, within grasp. If this were not true, why would Paul say of the body of Christ on earth that “prophesies will fail, tongues will cease, knowledge will vanish”, being temporary, but when that which is perfect has come then that which is in part will be done away with. That is right. Tongues and prophecies end with the understanding of what already was.

The church is a means to an end like all the other pictures and patterns given for us to understand God. And what is the purpose then of these things given in part? To hold us over until the illusive second coming? To keep us in a holding pattern til He comes to deliver us? Wake up! He already did that.

These things were given “til we come to a mature understanding, to bring us into the full stature and measure of Christ”. And if that is to happen to each one of us now, what are you standing around for? Know ye not the parable of the talents?

And of Paul again “I press on to lay a hold of why Christ laid hold of me. This is walking with God, to press on toward the upward call in Christ. As many as have this mind are mature.

The church like Israel, is a guardian or a tutor to bring us to faith, but after faith has come, or after you receive the eternal counter part, you are no longer subject to the repetitious cycle of the patterns. It brings you to the eternal invisible, ever ready kingdom of God. You are not at some train station waiting for a man named Jesus to come and save you. He already did that if you have an ounce of faith.

And of those who understand the spiritual counterpart? Galatians 6.16 As many as walk according to this rule, peace (Shalome) and mercy be upon them, (upon us) upon the Israel of God”

We speak what we hear and testify of what we see and man does not receive our testimony. If I tell you earthly things and you don’t understand, how can I tell you heavenly. They were never meant to be earthly, but to teach us eternal.

If we are not talking about the “Kingdom of God at hand” we may be like those who Christ said “you are neither entering the Kingdom nor are you allowing those who are trying to enter to do so. We may be found false stewards if we stop short of this one thing.

Behold I stand at the door and knock!
The Bride is in the Groom.
The Kingdom of God is at Hand!

Gah-den and the Garden of Eden

Posted on June 7, 2014 by ADMIN

Download PDF
As I was researching the Garden of Eden in the Strong’s and Englishman’s Hebrew concordances, the name Eden has some interesting things. It is spelled with a letter that carries the same sound as our “G”. It is the 16th letter in the Hebrew alphabet which is called “gah-yin”. And Eden in Hebrew is correctly pronounced “gah-den” not Eden. From Strongs # 5729,  This word “gah-den” sounds like “garden” but here is where it gets cool. “gah-den” broken down into syllables comes from two words. #5704 means, unto, forever, and until. It is used in Genesis 3.19 “UNTIL thou return to the ground”.  #2004 is translated, thee, therein, they, them, and (in them). Gah-den can mean “forever (in them)” or “until in them”. This helps define Edens purpose.
Because of the fall Adam was to eat bread until he return to the ground.He was kicked out of the Garden of Eden. Adam was judged by God. He was kicked out of being (in Them) and was told “cursed is the ground, in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life, in the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the dust for from dust you were taken and to dust you will return. This is the judgment of the man of flesh, which is in contrast to the man of the spirit. Blessing in the  Garden are you or “Gahden” which was “blessed are you, by cultivating in Eden/spirit and joining God in His rest you shall eat the produce of the trees and live forever (in them). And who is (them)? The one who said “let Us make man in our image.
The object of Eden was for man to be forever (in them). God is the (they), or (them) in Eden, in the Gah-den. So then the purpose of Eden? To live forever (in THEM). This is what it means to be (In Christ). Jesus who said “We speak what we hear and testify what we have seen” He is (they) and them being we and “let us make man” (The father the spirit and the Son are them).
 Man was made from the dust of the earth and given the breath of life and became a living soul. He was made of contrasting compositions, earth and spirit. When he transgressed he lost the spirit. The spirit that made him a living being departed and he became dead. Meaning not only that he would die and not live forever but that he was dead in the spirit.  When he left the Gah-den, he left the spirit. His actions of sowing and reaping that before brought life while he was in Eden, now brought forth death. From the sweat of his brow he worked to eat bread till he returned to the dust for from dust he was taken, but we know Him who is the bread of life and we eat of Him, we return not to dust but to the Father. This is Eden, gah-den. This is to be in the spirit, (in Them) in Christ.
This is why man must be born again, or made over. He must be made new like he was in the beginning. To enjoy the “Gah-den” he must be born of spirit, meaning get again what Adam and Eve lost, the breath of life. And having this breath of life not of oxygen but the Holy Spirit, an eternal composition of non composition, we now have a sweet relationship with the invisible God like Adam lost, hence the garden of Eden is restored “in Christ”. This is the redemption. To redeem from the fall to restore to the beginning, to Eden. To him that overcomes.
So fallen man eats produce of the earth to grow up to be a full man of dirt, but we eat of a different produce. Not like the manna in the wilderness though. They all died in unbelief except Joshua and Caleb with the new generation. Josh 5.11+12 “they ate the produce of the land on the day after the passover” (from death to life) “the manna had ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land”. These verses refer to spiritual food. Like Jesus said he only spoke in parables, but to the disciples he said He spoke plainly about the father.
The Lord planted a garden and there He put the man whom He had formed and instructed him not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Scripture says “cursed is the man who hangs from a tree”, and it was Christ who hung on a tree for us, and He is the fruit of that tree and He is life. He is the tree of life. “Lo the volume of the book is written of Me” and Eden too is about God and is God in make up and composition of being invisible to the naked eye and carnal senses as are all aspects of God.
As the name Jesus in the Greek is the same as Joshua in the Hebrew and means savior, for his name is what He came to do. He was His name so too the Garden of Eden (Gah-den) carries with it, it’s purpose. We work it not with the sweat of the brow but being leisurely (in them). This is the rest of God.
We then being redeemed, are redeemed from a curse to be restored to the pre-curse relationship. And we sow in the gah-den to reap in the spirit as it was designed for Adam and Eve.
Since we put off the old Adamic man by the working of faith at baptism, are we then naked? If we are waiting for a visible work of God we are. But if we put on Christ we are clothed, and we do this by sowing and reaping, and God is not mocked for whatever a man soweth so shall he reap and what we reap we don’t reap some 2000 plus years after He said it or that is a mockery. You see Mary sat at the feet of Jesus and He said that “she has chosen the good part, that will not be taken. He did not give her an I.O.U.
Before Adam died he was put into a deep sleep then he was split in two, so are all who are of his image. They are sleeping and cannot discern those who said “Let Us make man in Our image and Our likeness.
We have some understanding of the term “In Christ” but simply put, to be “in Christ and the spirit” is to not be “in Adam of the dust”. Hence the term in scripture “Awake!” This is what we do after we put off the old man symbolized by baptism and receive the life Adam was denied being now quickened, or made alive we then “wake up” and reverse the first condition from Adam.
Jesus went to another garden to complete this task after He had said “I go to prepare a place for you that where I am you may be also. Here is the purpose of this garden called Galgatha, meaning the skull which is a the dead head, and as Adam died and all flesh returns to dust, the place of the work Christ begins is to renew the mind, the spirit of the mind. The skull is the dead to God mind, being the carnal mind that is enmity against God, this is where redemption takes place. “be ye renewed in the spirit of your mind”.
The human mind attached to the eyes ears and lusts of the flesh is totally unable to see Him who is invisible and close at hand. Christ redeemed us from the garden of the dead skull to restore us to another garden, to a new way of thinking. This garden is an eternal place not associated with time and matter, but of the spirit being the composition of non-matter. It is in our renewed mind that we sow the word of God and reap things of the spirit, not of the dust. what grows, or transforms here is the renewed mind. Not of things seen with eyes of flesh because that just inflames the flesh and the carnal mind, but with the eyes of understanding. What we see we put on, we become.
This is the new life. We put on Christ. As Mary had chosen that which was needful, the part that will not be taken, an eternal gift, so too with us we receive several needful things. We sow, we see, we reap, we receive, we keep. And He who has said “I come and my reward is with Me”, He is invisible and leaves invisible deposits with us that grow within us and we become new in His Kingdom. But this is not a new kingdom in terms of existence but only new in understanding for the kingdom was finished from the foundations of the world. This is why Jesus’s message was “the Kingdom of God is at hand”. Learn of it in the gah-den, meaning in the spirit and become what you learn, be ye transformed in the spirit of the mind that you may know what Gods  good acceptable and perfect will is. Which is?  To be forever (in them).

The Revelation of Adam and The foreshadowing of Christ’s Revelation

Posted on May 22, 2014 by ADMIN

Genesis 1.26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Jesus in John 3 said of himself “We speak what we know and testify what we have seen”. He spoke of himself as being plural which is not surprising for He is the same one who said “let us make man in Our image and Our likeness”. When John wrote he specifically used the Greek word “Ekeinos” which means “they” and “them” when talking about Christ, but the English translators interpretation was that into “him”, a singular person.
 So what John was trying to convey by choosing the word “ekeinos” is lost. John was speaking of the fullness of the Godhead being a plurality and being present in Christ. We have other articles that go deeper into this, but our point here is that Christ is a plurality and John called Him “They” and “Them” and not “He” and “Him”.
From Genesis
Now when we go back to the beginning of scripture at the 6days of creation and on the 6th day when God made man in His likeness he made Adam whole. Adam had not entered his deep sleep to be halved yet. It is in the first words about Adam that God “made him male and female created He them”. And “God blessed them and said to them let them be fruitful, let them multiply let them fill the earth. The Lord called him them, like John called Christ them.
Adam in his beginning was a plurality in one as Christ is a plurality in one. “Let us make make man in Our likeness”.
That from the beginning which we have heard and seen we testify to you. Now for what came next.
The Revelation of Adam and The foreshadowing of Christ’s Revelation

Adam was half the man of Jesus because his rib was taken from him. His hidden insides were seen when his rib called his wife was exposed. This was the Revelation of Adam, the unveiling, the exposure of what would not otherwise have been seen. That is why the command was given that “the two shall become one”. To mend that tear. This man Adam who was made in the image of God. For God had said “Let Us make man in Our image and likeness” and “in His image he made them male and female”. So when Adam was halved, when his rib was removed he exposed not so much his own insides but the invisible workings of the eternal God, broken down for human consumption. For our understanding of Him divided in the two parts male and female. She was his hidden person.

 
But Christ did not do this. His Eve was not exposed. She was not unveiled physically. His Eve was ushered directly to the Son at the baptism when God said “this is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased”. God told John the baptizer “upon whom you see the Holy Spirit land upon and remain, this is He!” The true Son who replaced Adam. When the Holy Spirit descended “in bodily form” like a carbon copy she fit inside Him perfectly. She descended and “remained upon Him”. The Word of God and the Spirit of God became one. The two halves were fitted. They were united. They were wed.
Jesus could not of been “well pleased” of the Father if He were only half the image by being without His counterpart, because God made His image “male and female” and only when the two are one, do they reflect the nature of God. This is what qualifies Jesus to be The new man. The Adamic replacement and true God. Not just an image or likeness. “For in Him dwells the fullness of the Godhead” in bodily form. Both parts together, “male and female made He them. For us to understand Him, He turned His image inside out in the persons of Adam and Eve. Jesus was right side in.
 
This is why John the baptist was called the “friend of the bridegroom”. He witnessed at the altar as the best man being called the friend of God. And John was able to testify to what he truly witnessed and he said “the Bridegroom has the Bride” “therefor my joy is fulfilled. His mission was accomplished. He saw the Word of God unite with the Breath of God who being united are the parents of the New Covenant of all those who receive the Word, who are born by the Spirit. This is what Christ meant when He said “I will not leave you orphans, I will sent you my helper My helpmate, the other comforter. He was talking about His hidden counterpart, “whom the world cannot know”. His Eve that was not taken from His side but remains “in Him” eternally. This is something Adam and Eve could not do. They were just a parable but now “in Christ we are told plainly about the Father.
 
In all of creation it is not common for a male to birth, nurse and raise offspring in any of the kind begets. The kind begets in scripture repeatedly states “after their own likeness and kind”. And in Noah’s ark it was “male and female” taken into the ark. The protected image. All others were washed away in the flood as abominations as should happen in the renewed mind. 
 
It is God in these two parts, being the origination of the male and female image that unite for reproduction of a species, is “The Father and Mother eternally one. God is one. It was the Adam He split for us to understand Him in the two parts male and female, this pictures the Word and Spirit being “bone of my bone” being the same kind as each other, spirit. We understand Jesus as the last Adam and first new man, but the Holy Spirit as the Bride? Yes! She is just behind the veil of understanding of the carnal mind “whom no man can know”.
 
It is in the creation of time and matter from the first 6 days that the Word of God and the Spirit of God appear to be separate persons.  And scripture says “the Spirit brooded on the face of the waters” showing Her anticipation of the baptism that would show their true oneness.
 
And in truth the baptism of Jesus by John just showed the union that took place when on the 7th day God rested from His works. Rested not in His works of creation but back to where They came. To the beginning is those who said “let Us make man in our image. The Word of God that created and the Spirit of God that co-created returned to the mouth of God from where They came. “His word does not return void”. It is only in time and matter that they are seen separated. This is the split thinking of the split Adamic nature in time and matter.
 
This then exposes the carnal mind that is enmity against God. The mind of unbelief against the Spirit. It cannot see the Bride and Groom united with physical eyes therefor it must not be now but at a 2nd coming. It has a hard time understanding that Christ was born the King of kings because He pre-existed that way. People have multiple formulas of raptures and resurrections  blood moons, Nibiru and catastrophe’s and such before Christ can be crowned King in a city built on earth.
 
A physical man king in a physical city is a fascination of the carnal mind, a fairy tale of fallen fairy’s, doctrines of demons blowing fresh winds with every change in the news, being hardened of heart having not the eyes to see or the ears to hear. These are at odds with God’s eternal un-changeable existence. That which is flesh is flesh, that which is spirit is spirit and it is God who is seeking such to worship Him in Spirit and truth not flesh stuck in time and matter looking to another Jesus to save them.
As Paul had said in that day, you observe days, months, seasons and years, I am afraid for you that I have labored in vain. Or as we would understand in modern English. You have taken the realities of God that are understood only by the Spirit and you have His coming laid out on a timeline defined by raptures and catastophies and resurrections that point to a single event on earth. It is To Him who is eternally as He always was and does not have to become. This is a true and faithful saying.
 
The Kingdom of God is At Hand! The King is in Zion. The invitation still stands, “Come”

*Kind begets kind, bone of my bone

Posted on May 20, 2014 by ADMIN

Kind begets kind and Bone of My Bone.

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

THE NEW CREATION MYSTERY REVEALED PART 4. HEAVENLY JERUSALEM

 LEAVE A COMMENT EDIT

It has been given to us to know the interpretation of the things God has spoken for “we have the mind of Christ”. There is a one to one correlation from the physical to the invisible realities. All the pictures and patterns with all the physical representations have their invisible counterpart. After we understand this we no longer need the visible. 

 
Paul wrote how the law was our tutor but after faith has come we no longer need a tutor. Or as he says “when I become a man I put away childish things. This is the purpose of all the law and the feasts, to learn the spiritual counter part. The everlasting realities of Gods kingdom. Which is “at hand”.
 
So keeping this truth in mind and appropriating principles from the book of Hebrews like “He takes away the first to establish the second” and “the Holy Spirit thus indicating that the way into the Holiest was not yet manifest while the first one was standing”. This was speaking of the temple. An earthly one being replaced by an invisible one.
 
Why then would it be strange that Jerusalem is an eternal non time dimensional reality? Doesn’t the “kingdom at hand” have a city too?  The same principle as with the tabernacle. As long as the first one remains there is no access to the second. Our understanding is veiled from the eternal as long as a physical one still exists in our understanding. This is the law of sowing and reaping. Sown corruptible, raise spiritual. 
 
The writer of Hebrews meant nothing short of this when he wrote “For you have come to Mt Zion, to the city of the living God, to the Heavenly Jerusalem, to the general assemble and church of the firstborn, to the spirits of just men made perfect”. He was not talking about a city on earth.
 
Earthly Jerusalem being sown corruptible to be raised incorruptible by faith, was pictured at Pentecost in Jerusalem. In a specific city, on a specific day,to a specific people who spoke a specific language, and whoosh! The Holy Spirit descended in power and shattered the specifics. Paul referred to the Jerusalem on earth as “Hagar which corresponds to Jerusalem which is in bondage”  bound to specifics.  The spiritual counterpart in the heavens is available without the specifics to any language, any where, anytime, to every body. To the gentiles in any place two or more are gathered. As Paul says of the spiritual Jerusalem  is free, the mother of us all. This was his living reality as it should be ours if we are able to receive it.
 
The 30 plus times Jerusalem of old was attacked and taken was to sow it corruptible and raise it incorruptible in the understanding of each one of those generations. They were all spiritual harvest’s into the ever ready always present kingdom of God, finished before the foundations of the world. 
 
Ezekiel 11.16 
16 Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Although I have cast them far off among the Gentiles, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet I shall be a little sanctuary for them in the countries where they have gone.”   
 
So Pentecost wasn’t the first time this phenomena happened but the last as far as the physical goes. “He takes away the first to establish the second.
 
So one other point to consider about the current reality of Heavenly Jerusalem. Earthly Jerusalem in the Old testament was referred to as female. She was the mother the comforter and the nourisher. She was the widow. This was the wife of God in their understanding. And from Romans 7 of the women who’s husband must die to marry another, so too heavenly Jerusalem cannot exist without a death.
 
From John 4 “the hour is coming and now is when you will neither in Samaria nor in Jerusalem worship the Father. For God is spirit and He is truth and He seeks such to worship Him”  So we being “in Christ” “in the spirit” are in the city that has no earthly specifics or physical features. 
 
You see our inheritance is Him. We are joint heirs of the eternal pre-existence which is God himself. Anything eternal is another aspect of Himself. The book of “The Revelation of Jesus Christ” culminates with the “revealing” or the “unveiling” of the city being an aspect of Jesus Christ to be unveiled. 
 
This city is the one who is always hidden in Christ. As Peter instructs the women to let their adorning be the “hidden person of the heart”. If we are hidden in Him we see her who is Christs hidden person of the heart. And as John speaks of the Holy Spirit “whom the world cannot see for it neither sees her or knows her.
 
I will stop here but there is plenty more. I discuss this further in the series of articles under “The Mystery of The New Creation Revealed”. 
Blessings

THE NEW CREATION MYSTERY EXPLAINED PART 1

 LEAVE A COMMENT EDIT

God created man in His image; male and female. God chose to display His hidden attributes in the male and female as they came together. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his bride.

We know from the creation account that God spoke. When God spoke His Word came forth. When God spoke His Breath/Spirit came forth. The Father, being the source, then the Son and Spirit. The Spirit brooded over the face of the waters. Not that one was lessor or greater than the other, but different in purpose, being equally God with all the attributes, displaying complimentary characteristics.

It was said of Christ that He declared the Father. He said, “If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father.” It was necessary that Christ was also the fullness of the Father, His completeness, as scripture says, and that if He was the fullness of the Father, He had to be male and female.

For Christ to appropriately display the fullness of God, and He did, for in Him dwelleth the fullness of the Godhead, He had to display the same attributes as the Father before it was said He made male and female to display His likeness, before this split.

How did Christ on earth do this? The first creation started with the Word and the Spirit leaving the mouth of God, and they split as they departed. The Word creates, the Spirit incubates. This is what happens inside us when we receive them; the Word and Spirit. The new creation we become occurs when the Word and the Spirit become one again. We can catch a glimpse of this phenomenon in  other unions or marriages. We call this the procreation of a species. The two becoming one and begetting according to their own likeness, be it a mammal or a fish or a reptile. You get the picture.

In heavenly terms, this is what is referred to as the Wedding banquet that we are invited to. It is the coming together to be one in the Holy Word and the Holy Spirit, the true union. This has to take place before there are any offspring. This is the union that takes place in the heart of believers when they accept Christ and The Holy Spirit.

How and when did Christ on earth display the Father in both male and female? It was at His baptism that Christ received the Holy Spirit, thereby fulfilling all righteousness. It was at that time the Father said this is my beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased. https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Matthew-3-17/ God the Father could only be pleased if the Son were a true chip off the ol’ block, correctly displaying who He was from before the beginning, before His Word and Spirit went forth.

The first creation started with the split. God divided light and dark. earth and sky, land from water, etc. But more importantly, when the Word and the Spirit come back together, being united, or wed, or married, this was the union of the new creation. God Says, For my Word will not return to me void but shall accomplish all that I desire https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/search.php?.  What is it that God desires? That we shall go out (birthed) with joy, and be led forth with peace. We are those born of that union, the union of the Word and Spirit, reunited to procreate true images of that union born in His likeness, in His fullness. We receive the engrafted Word, and are begotten by the Word of truth to be a kind (kind begets kind) of first fruits of His creation. Male and female made He them in His likeness. From the book of John, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, that which is born of the Spirit is spirit, you must be born again.” This is pretty radical if you can grasp what we are saying.

So back to Christ’s baptism for a fuller explanation. The Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove and remained upon Him. The Spirit was given to the Son without measure. They received of each other’s fullness.

John the Baptizer knew this, and knew this was his purpose. “Make straight paths the way of the Lord” he said.

John the Baptist did not know Him but was told, “Upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon, THIS IS HE!  I have seen and testify that truly this is the Son of God.”

But it doesn’t stop here. John made an even more radical remark when his disciples were asking about this Christ man. They asked, “Who is He whom you testified of back at the Jordan?” John then replied in present tense. Meaning then! Not later. He said, “He who Has the Bride is the Bridegroom, but the friend [John meaning himself] of the Bridegroom, who stands and hears Him, rejoices greatly because of the Bridegrooms voice.” That is why this joy of mine is full. And from the Greek, THEY must increase but I must decrease, THEY who come from above are above all. That is the two in one, the Word and the Spirit. As Christ said to Nicodemus “WE speak what WE know and testify what WE have see and you do not receive OUR testimony”. How about you?

If you are still here, without any further adieu, may we introduce to you “The Bride and Groom. The Word and the Spirit. For John did not talk about THEM as engaged, or as though THEY would be married on a future date, or the soon to be or THEY would have been called fiance. He said “He who has the Bride is the Bridegroom”. This is an introduction only for the newly weds and completely in-appropriate for the un-wed couple. Stay with us for there is more.

The baptism of Christ was necessary “to fulfill all righteousness”. To accomplish the full task and purpose of the Son on earth. To Accomplish all! For the Word and the Spirit to come together to have offspring. That is those born of Word and Spirit. Which is us! If you believe. And if this is not the truth, and the wedding has not taken place, then those who claim to be born again are born out of wed lock. Then we would all be born from pre-marriage fornication, we would be bastards.

If you are waiting to see a future wedding, you are walking by sight using the reason of your carnal mind as it relates to the physical senses. For “He is the God who calls things that do not exist as though they do”, because they really do where it counts. In Spirit and truth. This is a message for those who are “called out”, which comes from the Greek word Eklisia, the word translated Church. The “called out” of the world. To be be called into. And the into is “In Christ”. This mystery and many more are “in Him”. Which is where “all the hidden treasures of God are”. Be it a mystery or a revelation, be it the Spirit or the body.

None of these are realities to the human senses. Kind begets kind and kind associates with kind and ye must be born of the spirit to associate with us.

If you have stayed with us this far you are of this kind. If this is the first time you have seen and accepted this the Bride and the Bridegroom, Welcome home.

We will explore this new creation in greater depth. What is the new creation? For those who believe, it is you, it is Him, it is us, it is Them. This is how we put Them on. It Is now, He is now, the Kingdom of God is at hand! The King, the Queen, the City, and His government. If this was not true you would have a King without a kingdom. And what is a King without a kingdom? What is a judge without a court? What is a husband without a wife? He is or He isn’t. Check mate. The true King is always standing.
