The Daily Word of Righteousness
Revelation 10:7
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. (Revelation 10:7)
The seventh angel is the last angel. The victorious saints will be transformed into eternal life when the seventh angel sounds.
In the days of the voice of the seventh angel the mystery of God will be finished, or accomplished.
The mystery of God is Christ in us, the hope of glory.
The idea of Christ in us has remained largely a mystery until the present hour but now is unfolding. It is in our day that the Church will travail and the holy nation will be born "at once."
Many years ago, after receiving the baptism with the Holy Spirit in an Assembly of God Bible school, God began to speak to me. I have written previously of what God said to me at that time about the Jewish Day of Atonement, implying that the Christian churches were to be visited with Judgment. This was long before I was taught that the Jews regard the ten days from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, as the time when God judges the world.
However, the principal burden of what God spoke to me at that time had to do with Christ in you. I felt that the Lord was telling me His next great move had to do with Christ in us and the construction of the Temple of God. In those days I wrote a short booklet titled The Temple of God. It was fifteen pages in length and I think I still have a copy. Today it is over four hundred pages. I'm not positive I added anything of worth to it.
I am talking about 1948, probably before you were born.
To this day the Christians, while they say they have Christ in their heart (which is true), have not come to realize the importance of this fact. This may be because Christ has been conceived in us but has not been formed to any great extent.
Messiah is in us. The Jewish Messiah has been conceived in us and today is being formed in us. This is the mystery of the Gospel of the Kingdom.
Christ is the Kingdom. As Christ is formed in us the Kingdom is formed in us.
I don't think we Christians have the foggiest idea of the importance of Christ in us.
Our traditions without exception are built around the concept of Christ with us, not Christ in us.
Our celebration of Christmas has to do with Christ with us.
Our idea of Heaven is that of going to be with Jesus.
I have never read a single vision of Heaven that placed any stress whatever on Christ being in the person.
So Christ in us remains a mystery to the present hour.
But things are changing. As we have said previously, the Day of Atonement, the time of judgment and reconciliation to God, comes after the Blowing of Trumpets, the experience of war and the forming of the army of the Lord. We are in the midst of these experiences now because they come after Pentecost.
But the objective of all the experiences is that portrayed by the Jewish feast of Tabernacles, or Booths. The feast of Tabernacles is the culmination of the work of God.
To be continued.
