The Daily Word of Righteousness
The New Creation and the Resurrection, #14
You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. (Isaiah 55:12 NIV)
In the beginning of the creation there were spiritual trees in the garden of Eden, such as the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, that were a convergence of the spiritual and physical realms. When sin entered, the spiritual life left the creation. We know that the day will come when the trees of the field will clap their hands.
So our problem arises, no doubt, from our inability to think of material objects that no longer are bound by the restrictions of time, space, and activity to which we have become accustomed.
The Beast and the False Prophet will both be thrown alive, meaning in their bodies, into the Lake of Fire.
But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. (Revelation 19:20 NIV)
The throwing of a material body into a spiritual prison reveals a relationship between the physical and the spiritual that we do not understand as yet. All shall be made clear in the Day of the Lord.
The Kingdom of God itself is the union of the physical and spirit realms such that the physical enjoys all the liberty and incorruptibility of the spiritual, while the spiritual enjoys the substance, opportunities, and delights of the physical. What fantastic realms of fellowship, service, and fruitfulness await those who are faithful to God!
The Kingdom of God is an inner rule of God. The Kingdom of God is the rule of God in Christ in all those who have found their place in Christ as part of the one new Man (Ephesians 1:10; 2:15).
God dwells only in Christ. Christ dwells only in the new creation that has come into being from His body and blood. Christ abides in the new man of the heart, not in the adamic nature.
As soon as the new creation has been formed in us, the Father and the Son will enter us and make Their eternal abode in us in fulfillment of the Old Testament feast of Tabernacles.
Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him." (John 14:23 NIV)
We see that the new creation is the Kingdom of God, the Temple of God. Every creature and aspect of the new creation reveals Christ, and God the Father is All in all.
The adamic creation came to an end on the cross of Calvary. The adamic creation never will enter resurrection life in the new age. The new creation is the resurrection from the dead and will live to the ages of ages, a world without end. (from The New Creation and the Resurrection)
