As universal salvation of all men is a truth that most of the professing church today denies, we should look a bit closer at the doctrine with regard to the "fabric of time". As most know, God does not exist in "time". He is eternal, and without an A to Z. Therefore hear me on this.....when one physically dies, they are INSTANTLY with all of humanity that has ever lived - EVEN THE ONES WHO WERE STILL ALIVE WHEN THAT ONE DIES!
When we leave this carnal world at death, time ceases to exist. Therefore all are present at one's death. Your death is your "judgment" day for all who perish prior to the resurrection of the LIVING SAINTS of the last generation. That said, we should look THROUGH THIS LENSE, in order to understand how ALL will be saved. You see, all of humanity was not only in Jesus Christ, but also is in YOU!
What I am trying to say here is that the last "CHANGED" saints of God will have ALL of humanity in them as the body of Christ. We shall be made incorruptible, but the world will perish around us. As unbelieving people die, their spirits move to inhabit other vessels - until there are no more vessels to be housed within. It is at this point, that those who are left and REMAIN will be the living atonement for ALL, as ALL will be in them in Christ.
What I am trying to convey here, is to prepare the Saints for what is coming. Things will get pretty ugly in this external carnal world of ours, as ANY WARRING AND BLOODSHED, OR NATURAL DISASTER IS SIMPLY THE REFLECTION OF what is still a reality in the hearts of men - EVEN GOD'S PEOPLE. As we know that WE ALL are still short of the "Perfect" today, any remaining wars of the flesh in us is REFLECTED AND MANIFESTED IN THE EXTERNAL CARNAL WORLD. As flesh will perish in the coming "purge", the "wars" inside us will die as well. When the world is approaching its apparent demise, God's people will be made full only to redeem all IN THEM, not OUTSIDE OF THEM. This carnal reality will be NO MORE. ALL WILL BE IN US, AS WE ARE IN CHRIST, AS CHRIST IS IN THE FATHER. THEREFORE WE AND THE HUMANITY IN US WILL BE ONE WITH THE FATHER.
Be ready Saints, because your external carnal reality will soon begin to be "destroyed". But, be of good cheer, because as our carnal world is "judged", we see THROUGH this carnal destruction, and in turn with our spiritual "eye", we know that redemption for all is quite near - but NOT A REDEMPTION BACK INTO THE CARNAL REALM! This is where many have slipped a bit in some sort of hope to SAVE THIS LIFE, AND NOT ENTER THE TRUE SPIRITUAL REALITY.
Its coming folks, have peace in your hearts, and keep the faith, and LOOK PAST WHAT YOU ARE SEEING AND PHYSICALLY EXPERIENCING, TO SEE YOUR DELIVERANCE IN THE SPIRIT - NOT IN GLORIFIED FLESH, as the church has adopted from paganism.
Grace to all of you, and the peace IN JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD - OUR BROTHER WHO LEADS US INTO THE FATHER'S BOSOM, AS WE ALL HAVE NEVER LEFT GOD IN ADAM IN THE FIRST PLACE - AS WE HAVE BEEN SHOWN AT CALVARY. ADAM AND THE FATHER ARE ONE in CHRIST!
P.S. I welcome any disagreement with the above as IRON ALWAYS SHARPENS IRON in a unity of love.
:cloud9: First of all, welcome to the board.
I agree with most of what you've said here, with the exception that I see the glorified body as Spirit, ie. "celestial", not natural flesh.
The unbelieving enter into unbelieving flesh, the believing enter into Christ within. The legion cast out AFTER SEVEN DAYS (fullness of the darkness of men's hearts of the last 2 days/2000 years) who were cast into the swine (outer court of the flesh; will eat anything, husk or grain), and then into the water (Spirit), bear this witness. As does, in a rich man's house, there are many different kinds of vessels. As does, the feet that are clay and iron.
Now get ready for the stones.... :winkgrin:
I had to force my self to read it all.
Dismissed.
