The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Resurrection and Eternal Judgment, #39
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. (John 14:23)
The feast of Tabernacles portrays the rest of God, the dwelling of God and Christ through the Holy Spirit in and with the glorified inner man of the saint in a glorified body. Each saint so filled and glorified constitutes a building block in the new Jerusalem, the holy city. Such are the Throne of God. They shall reign forever—ages without end.
All nations will partake of Christ through redeemed Israel, as the Prophets have declared. The nations that remain after the destruction of Armageddon will come up to Jerusalem to keep the feast of Tabernacles, to receive the Life of Jesus into themselves.
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. (Zechariah 14:16)
When we first receive the Lord Jesus we come under the protection of the Passover blood. At that time, if we truly have repented and drawn near to the Lord, the Seed of God is planted in us.
After this the Holy Spirit, the third Member of the Godhead, enters us to be our Comforter, our strength, and our wisdom.
Now the work of establishing the Kingdom in us commences. The feast that follows the coming of the Holy Spirit (Pentecost) is the Blowing of Trumpets. The Blowing of Trumpets announces the new year of redemption. Today the Blowing of Trumpets is called Rosh Hashanah (the head of the year).
The King has come to enter the gates of our inner man, there to drive out the enemies of God from His sanctuary. As soon as this process has been completed, the Father and the Son enter and make our personality Their eternal abode. We become one in the Father through the Son. This is the marriage of the Lamb, the Kingdom of God.
Driving out the enemy from the inner man, and then from the outward man, is the work of eternal judgment.
Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (Hebrews 6:2)
"And of eternal judgment"!
What is being accomplished now in the firstfruits of the Church will be performed in the future on a worldwide scale. God through Christ will come to the nations of saved peoples of the earth and drive from them all the works of Satan. They too will receive regeneration by the word of truth and the Spirit of God, and God and Christ through the Spirit will enter them and find rest in them.
To be continued.
