The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Convergence, #8
But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just [righteous] men made perfect, (Hebrews 12:22,23)
The spirits of righteous men are being made perfect through much tribulation. As we see it, the purpose of tribulation is to bring the Bride of the Lamb to unblemished beauty—the beauty of holiness to the Lord—in preparation for the Lord's coming to receive her.
Today the elect of God and all the other peoples of the earth are to repent, because the Kingdom of God soon is to come to the earth.
Every human being is to turn away from his sins, be baptized in water, and live in humility before God. Those who do so will be saved when the Kingdom comes. Those who do not will experience the wrath of God. It is the meek, the humble who will inherit the earth in the Day of the Lord.
The spiritual fulfillment of the feast of Tabernacles is the entering of the Father and the Son through the Spirit into the elect. The Kingdom of God is God in Christ in the saints ruling over the nations of saved peoples of the earth.
Therefore the spiritual fulfillment of the feast of Tabernacles is necessary if the Kingdom of God is to come to the earth.
Because the Kingdom of God is the doing of God's will in the earth as it is in Heaven, and because the peoples of the earth are under the control of Satan and are rebelling against God's will, it is clear (and the Prophets confirm this) that the Kingdom of God will be installed on the earth with violence.
The Kingdom of God will be established on the earth by the army of the Kingdom. Christ-filled warriors of the Lord will descend from Heaven on the war horses of God. They are the great and strong soldiers of the second chapter of Joel, the third chapter of Habakkuk, and the nineteenth chapter of Revelation. They will execute the fury of the Lord. The wicked will be crushed to powder under their feet.
And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts. (Malachi 4:3)
In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them. (Zechariah 12:8)
It is not too difficult to understand, therefore, that these six current burdens of the Holy Spirit are interrelated and that they will converge and culminate in the return of Christ to the earth.
Let us turn to the thirty-seventh chapter of the Book of Ezekiel, the chapter of the "dry bones." This chapter is an excellent example of the principle of convergence.
Convergence is an important concept to grasp in the present hour.
The Kingdom of God is a convergence of the spiritual and material realms. The fullness of what today is in Heaven at the right hand of God is destined to find material expression in the earth in the Day of Christ. The spiritual will clothe itself with the physical. This is the Kingdom of God—the clothing of righteous spirits with the physical creation.
To be continued.
