The Daily Word of Righteousness
One in Christ in God, #48
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. (Revelation 3:12)
The priestly responsibilities and privileges of Abraham in his day, of Abraham's descendants at a later period, and of the Christians now and during the Kingdom Age, will be brought to fulfillment in the new heaven and earth. The Wife of the Lamb, the new Jerusalem, will be immersed in the fullness of God Almighty, will gaze in resurrection purity on God's face, and will serve and represent Him throughout the ages of ages, the world without end.
Christ Himself will write on each overcomer the name of God, the name of the new Jerusalem, and Christ's new name. The purpose of the three names is to seal forever the identity of the individual. He now belongs to and is an indivisible part of God.
The overcomer is forever a pillar in the Temple of God, a supporting, integral, essential element of the structure. Apart from him the building collapses. It is marred, losing its symmetry and perfection. Each overcomer is an inseparable unit of God's dwelling place in the earth.
Christ writes on each overcomer His new name. What the new name of Christ is we do not know. But he who bears the name of Christ is of the Personality and Presence of God Almighty. Under God, Christ is All in all in the new heaven and earth, and those who have His new name written on themselves are His Presence wherever they may go (Galatians 2:20).
The peoples of the new heaven and earth will recognize the priests of God. They will understand God has sent Christ and loves those whom Christ has chosen as He loves Christ (John 17:23).
And the Gentiles [nations] shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. (Isaiah 60:3)
But ye shall be named the Priests of the Lord: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles [nations], and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves. (Isaiah 61:6)
And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles [nations], and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed. (Isaiah 61:9)
The new Jerusalem, the holy city, the Wife of the Lamb, will be a kingdom of priests among the nations of the earth.
And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. (Revelation 22:3,4)
The members of the Body of Christ will serve God throughout eternity. Eternity will be a "new week" because the memory of the fall of Adam and Eve, and the subsequent thousands of years of rebellion, uncleanness, tragedy, and anguish, will have been erased from the consciousness of the saved peoples of the earth.
To be continued.
