The Scriptures are a vision of the restoration of all things, as promised by the Hebrew Prophets. Because of the marvelous love and Glory of God's Personality, the restored inheritance will be infinitely greater than what was lost through inexperience.

The restoration has been completed in vision and God now is resting. Our task is to enter this rest of God, to flow with the flowings of God's Word as the almighty Word brings into existence the fulfillment of the finished vision.

The world, Satan, people, and our own lusts and self-will strive to keep us from entering God's rest, to keep us busy with our dead secular or religious works. Indeed it is a warfare and the spoils go to the victors. The rewards go to the conquerors. Christ will divide the spoil with the strong (Isaiah 53:12). If we suffer in the conflict of the ages we will divide the inheritance with Him.

There is an aspect of the work of restoration that has been assigned to our generation, as has been true of every other generation. Since we are close to the end, Christ is opening the scroll (the Scriptures), loosing the seals thereof (Daniel 12:9; Revelation 5:9). As a result we are able to understand the Scriptures more clearly than has been true previously. The knowledge of the Scriptures will increase as the Lord's return draws near.

Today there is moral chaos in the Church of Christ. This is because of the wrong approaches that have been employed to cope with the finished vision, to bring into existence what God has promised.

God has stated that the Church will be without spot or wrinkle and will be one as Christ and the Father are One. How do we respond when God refers to something as being a fact when as yet it is not in evidence? We have, in many instances, responded incorrectly. Therefore the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is not as righteous and holy as we could wish.

There are many voices in the land, but the voice of the Lord also is speaking. There are those who have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.

As we turn away from what obviously (by its fruit) is false, and begin to separate the precious from the worthless, God will make us a reinforced bronze wall. We will speak as His voice. God working with us will build a wall of separation between His elect and the world (including worldly Jews and Christians).

The Spirit of God will breathe on the slain and they will stand on their feet—an exceedingly great army. When this army marches a tremendous work of restoration will take place in the earth. The promised Kingdom of God will come to the earth.

Yesterday a man and a woman in a garden with God. Today an unbelievable cesspool of filth and violence as God permits the heavens and the earth to witness and understand the end result of obeying Satan, of disobedience to the Father.

Tomorrow the stupendous grandeur of the holy city coming down from a new heaven to rest forever on a new earth wherein there is no sin, no death, no crying, no pain.

Let us serve our own generation by the will of God so we shall not be ashamed to have fellowship with our brothers and sisters of past ages. They through faith and patience have brought us closer to the Day of all days when God through Christ through the saints reigns in glory over the nations of saved peoples of the earth. Let us continue in the same faith and patience. (from Fulfilling the Vision)
