The Daily Word of Righteousness
Fifty-two Kingdom Concepts, #5
Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. (Genesis 5:2—NIV)
Eve was Adam in another form. Every part of Eve was formed from Adam. There was nothing of Eve that was not Adam.
Adam's first remark upon awakening was: "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called ‘woman' because she was taken out of man."
There are no "queens" of the Kingdom of God. This is because a queen is not the same person of the king and can, in fact, be hostile toward him. She is a separate person with a will of her own.
The various Christian organizations may view themselves as "queens," but they are queens of Babylon, not of the Kingdom of God. We are not separate from Christ, if we are the Wife of the Lamb. We forever are an integral part of the Lamb.
When the slain Lamb appears in the sky, the "eagles" who live by eating His flesh and drinking His blood shall be caught up to be with Him forever. Correct doctrine will never raise anyone to meet Christ in the air. It is His body and blood in us that will raise us.
We must gain a glimpse of the nature and power of the love that motivates the Lamb in His dealings with His Church. The intensity of the Divine love will change our understanding of the new covenant, particularly the Communion service. The Song of Solomon will become real to us.
Then we will understand all of our religious doings are only the necessary scaffolding of the building. When we are ready to come up out of the wilderness leaning on our beloved, the scaffolding will be swept away and we forever will be an integral part of His Personality. There is no temple in the new Jerusalem for the entire city is the throne of God and of the Lamb.
The holy city is the glorified Church, the wife of the Lamb.
That all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so the world may believe you have sent me. (John 17:21—NIV)
Brothers of Christ
For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. (Romans 8:29—NIV)
The fact that the elect have been predestined to be the brothers of Christ, He being the Firstborn among many brothers, brings many concepts to our attention.
For one thing, it tells us we have been truly born of God. Being born again is not a mere figure of speech referring to our adopting the Christian belief system.
It tells us that when the Lord rose from the dead He became the Firstborn of many sons of God. The Lord, the Word, the Christ chose to become human in order that He might raise up an entire company of sons of God. The sons are not as great as He, of course. But make no mistake—God has given birth to them and they indeed are sons of God in the truest sense of the word.
To be continued.
