The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Galactic Christ
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: (Ephesians 4:13)
The mature development of Christ, the Anointed Deliverer, the eternal Temple of God, is expressed in the above verse.
It is God's desire that each member of the Body of Christ come to the stature of the fullness of Christ. When each person has been made ready he will be fitted into the whole so the Body becomes the conquering Christ—the one Seed of Abraham (John 17:21-23; I Corinthians 12:12).
The pattern of the Tabernacle of the Congregation (Exodus 25:8,9) portrays Christ as the Son of God, galactic in size, authority, and power, and complete in Divine Substance and Life.
The Head—Christ—is the Ark of the Covenant (Exodus 25:10).
The Mercy Seat, with the overshadowing cherubim, is the Glory of the Godhead that rests on Christ.
The Holy Place portrays the Body of Christ, "the fulness of him that filleth all in all" (Ephesians 1:23). The Courtyard represents His Kingdom.
The mouth of Christ is the Altar of Incense (Exodus 30:1), continually giving worship and praise and making intercession and supplication to the Father in Heaven.
In the right hand of Christ is the golden Lampstand, the manifestation in revelation and power of the seven Spirits that abide before the Throne of God (Revelation 1:4).
In the left hand of Christ is the Table of Showbread, the body and blood of Christ—the tree of life bearing fruit for food, and leaves for the healing of the nations (Ezekiel 47:12; Revelation 22:2).
The loins of Christ are the Laver (Exodus 30:18), declaring that the Divine fruitfulness and strength rise from purity; that Christ—Head and Body—is cleansed and ready for ministry to God Almighty.
The feet of the Anointed Deliverer are encased in the Bronze Altar of Burnt Offering (Exodus 27:1) representing the authority and power of the cross. The blood of the cross brings peace to all who obey the Gospel, and fierce judgment on all who sin—both human beings and angels (Revelation 1:15).
This colossal Head and Body is Christ, the holy Anointed Deliverer who will crush all His enemies under His feet and rule in God forever, bringing righteousness, peace, and joy through the Holy Spirit to the whole creation.
Here is the living Word of God brought to flawless maturity. Here is the eternal Temple of God, the Servant of the Lord (Isaiah, Chapter 42).
Christ Is the Resurrection. Christ Is eternal resurrection Life and every righteous, holy, and worthy thing associated with life. He Is the opposite of death and of every other abominable condition associated with sin, rebellion, and death. We have been called to be part of Him for eternity.
When we say the gifts and ministries given by the ascended Christ are for the purpose of bringing each member of the Body of Christ to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to maturity as measured by the stature of the fullness of Christ, then the above description of the galactic Christ is the model we are pursuing.
