I beleive so ,too,Lee. I beleive on every man's last day He is
dragged into the eternal. But, I also beleive that as He sent us
down here[sowed] us in the earth..that He also has a time
when He reaps us. He has such a multitude of children, that the
earth that now exists could not hold them all at once. Each in
their order. I also beleive there are seasons, rains and growing
of this 'wheat' before it is reaped into the barns of Heaven.
And also, when we consider the progressive revealing of God
and His son and the sons of God, this too, is progressive
revelation revealed through generations sown in the earth
Until every last child is bearing the image of Jesus Christ/
immortality/perfection it will not be completely 'finished'
At present Amos 9;13 The days are coming, declares the Lord
WHEN THE REAPERS WILL BE OVERTAKEN BY THE PLOWMAN
AND THE PLANTER BY THE ONE TREADING GRAPES
Old Adam will be reaped and New man in Christ sown in
plowed soil...Note the running over of seasons? This continues
to occur as His spiritual offspring is sent down and sown in the
earth[subjected to vanity] sown in corruption, and is raised in
incorruption. Even the Holy spirit bore wittness to that fact
with the sheet that come down from heaven,with all sorts of
animals on it..and returned . All the different animals signified
man's understandings in this life. Christ signifies understanding
at ONE WITH THE FATHER. Many return after their expierence
down here and are enlightened...Some understand more down
here than others,this by the will of God only. Others perish
without understanding much of God and His GRANDE PLAN
totally veiled by the prince of this world[only reality they
comprehend] this, too, in the plan of God to work all things.
Babies are born[sown] in this earth, while others are reaped
simultaneously.
