This is how the kingdom of peace and joy will be established on the earth, not by the feeble attempts of flesh-guided dust to invoke the power of the Spirit in order to accomplish their own perceived ends, to slay their own perceived enemies. The power of God to establish the Kingdom upon earth will work through Christ through the saints who are in His moral image and in total, restful union with Him.

It is possible to work miracles and not know the Lord. It is not possible, however, to be in the moral image of Christ and in perfect union with Him and yet not know Him. The choice is between performing our own will with the help of our Christian faith, or becoming part of the Wife of the Lamb. Do you want to be like Christ or part of Christ? Satan wants to be like Christ but he would never consent to being part of Christ. Do you desire to be another Christ or a branch growing from the one true Vine?

The purpose of God in the present hour is to build the Body of Christ until it is ready for the Head to be placed upon it. When the Body of Christ has been prepared, the Lord will appear. Then justice will be brought to the nations of saved peoples of the earth.

We are working from an incorrect model of salvation. One of the underlying causes of the inability of God's people to perceive the error of the current attempts to organize the elect into a political force is that we have an incorrect understanding of the Divine redemption.

The current model of redemption is that the blood of Jesus is a ticket that once acquired guarantees entrance to Paradise in the spirit realm after we die. Since we already have been "saved," in this sense, our main task is to bring this good news to others. Meanwhile we would like to prevent non-Christians from aborting fetuses, living in immorality and perversion, and using drugs and alcohol.

This is an incorrect model of salvation.

The Christian salvation is moral transformation without reference to a place, such as Heaven. There is a literal Heaven and there is a literal Hell. But a glance at the writings of the Apostles will reveal that our walk of discipleship is occupied with a new creation, not with where we shall reside.

The Presence of God and immortality in the body were lost in the garden that God placed in the country of Eden. The Lord Jesus came to redeem us, that is, to restore the Presence of God (eternal life) to us and to give us immortality in the body.

It is not at all true that the goal of our salvation is to live for eternity in mansions in the spirit realm. The goal of our salvation is that we may fulfill the many roles and tasks that God has appointed to the royal priesthood. None of the roles and tasks, such as being a member of the Body of the Anointed Deliverer, a part of the Wife of the Lamb, a living stone in the eternal Temple of God, a judge of men and angels, is possible apart from our transformation into the moral image of Christ and our entering total, restful union with God through Christ.

To be continued.
