ADAMIC ELEVATION [3]

(…continues from part 2…)

3)            The One who created the Adamic entity in absolute sinlessness, and who did substitute an innocent ram for his well-deserved death also ultimately offered Himself for the sacrificial atonement. The same gave Himself to Adam to keep Adam in an incorruptible righteousness. Jehovah is God of legality. So, how was the attainment of this incorruptible righteousness perennated, à la evergreen? Jesus Christ sits on the right hand of the Majestic Rainbow Administration, interceding always for the Adamic elevation. Eden sacrificial use of animals was never an afterthought. The Creator had planned it all from the eternity past. Does the word of God not say, in Genesis 1:26 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” The ‘likeness’ of Adamic being is of the anthropomorphic dimension of the Godhead, and the ‘image’ of him is of the Christ, who also, is the perfect physical manifestation of the Godhead. Hallelujah! God had thought it through and through.

God spared not the angels that sinned (2Peter 2:4)

                Jehovah’s bourne was to have enough legality to send Lucifer and his demons and the other fallen angels to hell forever. Hebrews 7:3-25 “Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. 21) (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:) 22) By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. 23) And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: 24) But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. 25) Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.”  If Melchizedek could assume the type and shadow status of the Christ, spiritually, for His eventual emergence, the protocolary legality has been duly satisfied. CHRIST, it is, – not Melchizedec – Who remains the High Priest of the elevation of regenerate Adam forever! Amen!

The throne room of the Majesty is roofless.

                1Timothy 2:3-6 “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4) Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5) For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6) Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” Jesus is truly the providential gift to the fallen Adam, an offer already disposed in the eternal mind of Divinity.

                John 14:1-3 “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2) In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also”. The splendiferousness that marks celestial pageantry of Adamic elevation is evident in this verse. I have heard it from very famous pastors and evangelical giants that God had shown them their empyrean homes. Are there truly physical, palatial houses of empyreal realm? The words of this scripture will unveil the truth. The Greek word for ‘house’ in the second verse is oikia (oy-kee’-ah): ‘properly residence (abstractly), but usually (concretely) an abode (literally or figuratively); by implication a family (especially domestics).’

The throne room of celestial Majesty

                ‘Mansions’ is monē (mon-ay’): ‘a staying, that is residence (the act or the place); room’. ‘Place’ is topos (top’-os): ‘a spot (generally in space, but limited by occupancy; – whereas chōra (kho’-rah) is the space lying between two places or limits; a region or country, i.e. a tract of land is a larger but particular locality), that is, location (as a position, home, tract, etc.).’ We understand that academical definition of ‘mansion’ makes it not only more grandeur but much bigger than a conventional ‘house’. How to fit a ‘mansion’ under or into a ‘house’ looks like a problem here. If there are mansions in the celestial realm, the LORD GOD will be living in one.

                Can you fathom God Almighty residing in a roofed edifice? Well, for God to place His Divinity under a roofing structure limits His Almightiness. The entire expanse of celestial realm is the abode and palatial throne of His Majesty. This is the only place in the entire scripture where ‘mansions’ is scripted – making its couch a hapax legomenon –; and it simply means, from the understanding of monē, a room as in ‘space’. There are many spaces or simply put, the throne room is ‘roomy’ enough to take those who believe in and receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour. His going before us is to make room or a spot or place for us. Jesus Christ definitely must be the Host from Whom we learn to be a good host. He is the Host before any other. Why? That in all things He must take preeminence (Colossians 1:18) where ‘preeminence,’ proteuo (prō-tev’-ō) means: ‘to be first (in rank or influence).’

Billions of angels around the throne

                Am I missing something? Oh, yes, the ‘house’. What about the ‘house’? Being more subjective, it is in reference to the heavenly ‘family’. “In my Father’s ‘family’ are many ‘spaces’; and I am going to prepare a ‘spot’ for you. That where I am visibly seen, there you will be seated together with Me,” rendered paraphrastically are the words of our Lord Jesus. Most exhilarating is the very place of our celestial sojourn. It is sacredly beside the throne of the Majestic Rainbow Administration! Talk about being the heir of God Himself! Where is the seat of Jesus in heaven? Right hand of God. That is where Adamic elevation promotes us! Hallelujah!

Acquitted and discharged is the BRIDE

                Spiritual acquittal and discharge takes place only when one is born again. To be born again, say, with all your heart, this simple prayer:

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”

Death [5]

(…continued from part four…)

5)            “We shall not all sleep” simply means that not all Christians will taste of death. Paul included himself, not knowing when the end will come: for ‘no one knows when the actual day of the end is, save the Father’. “But we shall all be changed,” he concluded, in 1Corinthians 15:51,  meaning that when Jesus shows up to receive the Bride, even His Body, the Church, every Christian (born again) will be given a new body to befit his celestial citizenship. This is the secret even the philosophical minded Greek did not know. Concerning death, the true Christian remains much unperturbed. Philippians 1:21 “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” As a living entity, the Christian lives to preach the Way, Truth and the Life –of Jesus, the Saviour. At his earthly cessation of life, he is never a loser; he is going to be with his Lord, Saviour and God who made the promise of John 14:1-3, “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2) In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”  Throw or toss the deciding coin of fate; and, head or tail, the true born again Christian will never lose! Amen.

                The worst that can happen to a careless Christian is found here in: 1Corinthians 3:14-15, “If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15) If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.” One begins to work for the Kingdom of God only after one is born again, and never before. The work of the Christian can be hay, wood or stubble, each of which is unacceptable in the heavenly assizes.

Those tried by fire of judgment burn up to ashes: of worthlessness. Good works acceptable are gold, silver and other precious stones, which when tried by the same fire, come forth most purified, handed back to the good worker, to determine his hierarchy among fellow children of God, before the Lord God. This is what really ensures one’s heavenly citizenship. A born-again person becomes four.

Four is the number of creation. As a tripartite being, at the spiritual regeneration, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell permanently with you: making four; and this can be said to be one of the reasons why a born again Christian is a new creature [2Corinthians 5:17]. The unregenerate remains three, believing the deceptive sermons of Satanism, telling you that you are god: your own god. Your tripartite nature makes you a trinity: a god as well. The irreconcilable predicament will come and stare guiltily at you when death comes calling. Your body must be dropped; it cannot accompany you to the afterlife. So, you are actually two, not three of the Divinity. You cannot be your own mediator; it is not allowed in the heavenly assizes. You cannot be your own witness. Empyreal impossibility. You will be guilty as divinely charged!

       Let us make an observation of the born again Christian. At the cessation of earthly life, he inevitably drops his cadaverous body, leaving the terra firma not two, but three. His soul and spirit plus the indwelling Holy Spirit of the Divinity make him three. He has a Witness, God the Holy Spirit, the Third Member of the Godhead is the Witness that the unregenerate cannot present before the thrice holy God. Jesus, seeing the Holy Spirit is very ready to be his Mediator: for Jesus is the only recognised Mediator between God and men. The Eternal Father beholds those coming before Him having His Spirit dwelling in them and immediately welcomes them, “Welcome, my heirs, into my Kingdom of your abode.” Without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, you are not truly born again.

Whether you own a reward of celestial elevation or not, as long as you did, truly receive Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, the Bible is quite unequivocal about your empyreal stance, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved! QED! “Ye must be born again,” Jesus made the asseveration.

                Rid your mind of unscriptural thoughts. Get born again. Say this simple prayer, believing it with all your heart. Say:

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”
