There are layers and layers of mystery within our God. They can be summed up as manifold.

The manifold wisdom of God is so vast we in our earthly sojourn barely scratch the surface.

Manifold = polypoikilos =

Multi- dimensional.

Large variegation in colour and intensity.

Combination of polys and poikilos.

Multifarius in diversity & variety.

"To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God."

"And so here I am, preaching and writing about things that are way over my head, the inexhaustible riches and generosity of Christ. My task is to bring out in the open and make plain what God, who created all this in the first place, has been doing in secret and behind the scenes all along. Through followers of Jesus like yourselves gathered in churches, this extraordinary plan of God is becoming known and talked about even among the angels!" ~MSG


Are our broadest hopes broad enough? Shall there be a nook or abyss, in all the universe of God, finally unlightened by the Cross? Shall there be a sin, or sorrow, or pain unhealed? Is the very universe, is creation in all its extent, a field wide enough for the Son of God?

Brother Ed: our God is an awesome God. He takes us from our viewpoint into His by a mighty awakening of Spirit and life. For all of us it is a matter of timing, "in His good pleasure."

I appreciate the place God has given you with these guys who live in the realm of what they think, blah blah blah.

There comes a day when each of us must come to the end of ourselves, the old man swallowed into the New, our thinking eclipsed by His.
