The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Marriage of the Lamb, #26
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. (Matthew 5:8)
A thorough work of transformation and reconciliation must be performed in us before we are able to see Him as He is, to be with Him where He is.
There may be spirits in the heavenly realm who see the Lord Jesus from afar off, in a diminished glory. But the Wife of the Lamb is being called into that holy Fire who is Christ—the Lord of Israel. We are being created "bone of His bones and flesh of His flesh." Everything we are and do is undergoing change from mortal soul and flesh into the eternal fire of the life-giving spirits.
We shall behold the Glory of God just as He is and not be consumed. We are being created the eternal completion of Christ who Himself is the Fullness of the Glory.
This is why we are not to complain or become impatient because of our fiery trials. If Christ was required to learn obedience through the things He suffered, what will be true in our case?
Christ comes to us through the Spirit and personally supervises our transformation and purification.
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. (John 14:18)
This is a real coming of the Lord to the believer, not merely a figure of speech. Jesus comes to us and enters us in the spiritual fulfillment of the feast of Tabernacles. This experience will increase in substance throughout the great tribulation period causing us finally to be filled with Christ, and the Father in Him.
The indwelling fullness will be made manifest at the "marriage of the Lamb." Then the nations of the earth for the first time will realize it was the Father who sent Christ, and that He has glorified His saints and loves them just as He loves Christ.
Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. (John 14:19)
We see the Lord faintly now, but as the spiritual fulfillment of the feast of Tabernacles increases in power we will be able to see Christ with ever-greater clarity. Also, the external tribulations and pressures will become so intense we shall have to depend on His Life to enable us to survive. We shall learn to lean on the Lord Jesus and to look to Him for every aspect of our personality and actions.
Trouble is soon to come. With it will come revelation and glory if we truly are serving the Lord and are not caught up in the "Laodicean" errors of the churches.
At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. (John 14:20)
The expression "at that day" refers to the Day of the Lord. Whenever the spiritual fulfillment of the feast of Tabernacles begins to come to maturity in us, the characteristics of the Day of the Lord are revealed in our personality.
"The Lord alone shall be exalted in that day." In the Day of the Lord, Christ is All and in all and God in Him. We rest in Him. He is our Salvation. He is our Joy. He Himself is our Strength, our Peace, our Wisdom, our Sanctification, our Song.
To be continued.
