The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Fullness of God, #9
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. (Ephesians 3:19)
The Scripture indicates that there is a fullness of God beyond the baptism with the Holy Spirit. This fact is borne out in Ephesians 3:14-19. We are being strengthened by the Holy Spirit in order that we may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Today the Holy Spirit is dwelling in us. We minister and grow in righteousness and holiness by the Holy Spirit. But the manifestations of the Spirit are fragmentary. We are seeing in a clouded mirror, as it were.
The Lord Jesus Christ did not walk and minister in a fragmentary manifestation of the Spirit. Christ was (and is) filled with all the fullness of God.
When the work of reconciliation has been accomplished in us, God will fill us with all the fullness of Himself in the personal fulfillment of the Old Testament feast of Tabernacles. There is coming an experience in God that will exceed in glory our most wondrous dreams. Jesus and His Father will take up Their abode in us as the Father dwells in Jesus.
When will this take place?
We submit that this glorious experience, this climax of redemption, will take place in the victorious saints just prior to the return of Christ to the earth. The entrance of the Father and the Son into us will serve as a "trumpet" announcing the worldwide appearing of the King of kings and Lord of lords. The Glory of the coming of God will flash as lightning through His saints from one end of the heavens to the other.
Antichrist will behold the Glory of Christ but will be helpless before it. Christ will, in full view of Antichrist and the nations of the earth, call up to Himself His Church, now glorified and ready to be revealed in glory.
The nations of the earth will behold this glory. In that hour, all earth's peoples will know that God has sent Christ.
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. (John 17:21)
Some of the nations, knowing that Christ has come from God, will fight against Him, attempting to prevent His entrance into the earth as King of kings and Lord of lords. They will be destroyed. The birds of the earth will be filled with their flesh, as David warned Goliath.
This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. (I Samuel 17:46)
And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. (Revelation 19:17,18)
