The Daily Word of Righteousness
Four Aspects of the Kingdom of God, #8
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; (Matthew 13:41)
First, "all things that offend." After that, "them which do iniquity."
The Wife of the Lamb will be made holy and without blemish, not only in an imputed (ascribed) sense but also in an actual sense. We know from the Scriptures that this is a fact. We have labored in the bondages of sin for so long that it seems to be beyond the power of God to actually cleanse us from sin. But it is not beyond God's power to cleanse us or heal us from any sin or sickness. God is ready today to begin the work of purging us from all sin and unrighteousness.
And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. (Malachi 3:3)
Aspect Four—The Role of Israel Among the Nations of the Saved
The purpose of God's Israel, the olive tree, the Seed of Abraham, is to serve as a royal priesthood over the nations of saved peoples of the earth. The nations of the saved will walk forever in the light of the new Jerusalem.
And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. (Revelation 21:24)
This means that the Torah of God has been made radiantly glorious in the personalities of the saints. The saints have been made God's covenant with mankind.
The saved peoples of the earth will be enabled to live righteously because of the Glory of God in Christ that they see in the saints and hear from the saints. The nations of the saved will keep the feast of Tabernacles by coming to Jerusalem to experience the Glory of God in Christ in the saints.
The nations of saved peoples of the earth will believe in the Lord Jesus and will receive Jesus when the saints come into the spiritual fulfillment of the feast of Tabernacles, that is, when they become one in the Father and the Son.
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. (John 17:21-23)
"That the world may believe." "That the world may know."
The members of the nations of the saved will be able to come to God through the saints to the Lord Jesus, and then through Christ to God the Father. The saints will receive the blessing of God's Presence in Jesus. The saved peoples of the earth will be able to receive the blessing of God's Presence in the saints.
To be continued.
