The Daily Word of Righteousness
Seven Steps to the Rest of God, #37
I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. (John 17:23)
As soon as the saints have entered the Tabernacles experience, the nations of the earth will perceive that God has sent Christ, and that God loves the saints as He loves His only begotten Son.
The invisible, spiritual Glory of God that is being created within us will be brought into visible glory in the land and people of Israel. God's promises through the Hebrew Prophets will be fulfilled letter by letter. God still loves His people whom He knew in time past.
Then the nations of the earth will be required to come to Jerusalem, bringing their wealth and acknowledging that God is in Christ in the saints in Jerusalem.
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)
For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted. (Isaiah 60:12)
And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. (Revelation 21:24)
We are being brought into union with the Lord Jesus Christ. This is the marriage of the Lamb. This is the "tabernacles experience."
Notice that the holy city, the new Jerusalem, is the "tabernacle of God," and also the "bride, the Lamb's wife":
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. (Revelation 21:3)
And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. (Revelation 21:9)
The promised-land rest of God is God in Christ in the saints. This is the Kingdom of God. This is the goal of our redemption.
All the accomplishment and rulership that have been assigned to man can come into being lawfully and harmoniously only when God in Christ is at rest in the saint and the saint is at rest in Christ in God.
All the workings of redemption are for the purpose of bringing us to the place where God is at rest in us through Christ.
God is seeking a house in which He can live among the nations of the earth, in which He can be approached, and from which He can rule and bless His creatures. The invisible God is making Himself visible: first, through the Lord Jesus Christ; second, through the Body of Christ. As Christ, who is the only Temple of God, the only House of God, is formed in the Body, the Father and the Son will then dwell in the Body.
Thus the saints through Christ are being created a part of the incarnation of the God of Heaven, who is the Creator of all things.
To be continued.
