AND HEAR THE WORDS OF EXHORTATION TO HIS CHURCH (Typical to the description of blessing and covenant after Noah emerges from the Ark) TO THOSE WHO WOULD BE DWELLERS THEREIN…. “Come hither, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife…..and shewed me….” Here written, the mystical Bride and City meet,… to be seen in future literal reality. “….that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious….” [Revelation 21 Verses 9,10,11] We are here looking at the anti-type, of that which was represented to the Nation of Israel in Temple and City in type: 1) the place wherein God dwelt 2) the centre place of worship 3) the seat of government 4) the very heart of the Empire; the place from where all else extended. These are those vital future things Divinely appointed that we are to carefully, reverentially and marvelously consider. Keeping in mind the Spirit’s contrasts seen in the Harlot, Beast and Babylon with the Bride, the Lord and this, the New Jerusalem, as He reveals the future written before us. THE GREAT WORK of forming the KINGDOM OF GOD has been at last finished, it is no longer the mysterious dynamic of these thousands of years in the making. [Matthew 13:11; Ephesians 1:9,10] It is and always will be composed of ranked or graded individuals. Those who are the greatest are in closest proximity to God. Gazing into the future through the eyes of John, we have that which represents and discloses to us who those are. They are the Bride. These are they who have His Glory. These are they who are now to take up permanent residence with Him. Christ’s Words are instructive: “Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heavens?........Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heavens.” “But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.” Love has banished all vile selfishness. [Revelation 21:8] And although there is ranking and grading, there is therefore, nor could there ever be, any neglect to the least in His Kingdom. And that because of the Great Work of Atonement. As the greatest serve the least. As the parent does the child. All the while the child loves, admires, honors his father and mother. Is this not the struggle of the flesh? Those who have authority abuse, while those under authority despise those who have it over them. And the abused rebel and topple those in authority, and then they soon become the abusers. To be found worthy to reside with Christ as the Bride, one must be capacitated to serve in love. To have authority, and to be under authority, are the daily experience of us all. Death to selfishness must be self- administrated. [Matthew 16:24; Colossians 3] The weapon for its destruction is to be the Word and the gift of the power of the Holy Spirit. [Hebrews 4:12; Ephesians 6:17; John 7:34-37; Acts 1:8] God’s GLORY will fill the void of that death. [1Peter 5:10; Colossians 1:27] Daniel 2:34 “Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.” Psalms 118:22 “The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.” “To whom (Christ, you) coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, and holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ” [1 Peter 2:4-5] John17 discloses the consecrated disciple of Christ’s personal dynamic, as it describes the Son of Man/Son of God dynamic. “And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was…..Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are....
