THE
SON OF MAN SHALL BE “REVEALED IN US” FOR
GOD
IS WITHIN US
(Luke
17:20-23)
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the
kingdom of God [an interchangeable phrase with “the
kingdom of
heaven”] [1] should come, he answered them and
said, The kingdom
of God cometh not with observation [Gk: ocular evidence]: Neither
shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the
kingdom of God is within [Gk: inside] you. And he said unto the
disciples, The days
will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of
man [in
the 1,000 year Millennium], and ye shall not see it. And
they
shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them,
nor
follow them [because the kingdom of God (Heaven)] is inside
you].
1.
(Matt
19:23,24) Then said Jesus
unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly
enter
into the kingdom of heaven. And again
[AGAIN] I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go
through
the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the
kingdom of God.
(Luke
17:24,25)
For as the lightning [1],
that
lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth
unto [Gk: to beam, radiate brilliancy: give light]
[i.e., give
rays of light prostelytizing eternal conversion (love)] the
other
part under heaven [i.e., shineth unto the whole earth under
heaven, instantly];
so shall also the Son of man be in
his
day. But first must he suffer many things, and be
rejected
of this generation [2].
1.
lightning
= Dict.: 1. a flash of
light in the sky caused by the discharge of atmospheric electricity
from one
cloud to another or between a cloud and the earth.
a.
lightning
= [SPIRITUALIZED] Dict.:
1. a flash of light in the sky caused by the discharge
[the
release of edifying or converting impartations] of atmospheric
electricity [invisible power (words)] from one
cloud [clouds
are a biblical symbol of “risen” soldiers in the army of God] to
another
[cloud of saved soldiers] or between a cloud [of
saved soldiers] and the earth [unsaved soldiers].
b.
(Matt
5:14) Ye are the light of the
world [Gk: cosmos]. A city that is set on an hill
cannot
be hid [Gk: concealed: kept secret].
2.
Commentary:
“generation” = a spiritual
generation extending from “Jesus”
the
41st generation unto “Christ”
the
42nd generation (Matt 1:16,17), i.e., a lengthly spiritual
generation extending from Jesus to us the Christ [Gk:
anointed]
generation, we are the Christ generation.
(Luke
17:26-30)
And as it was in the days of Noah [Heb: rest /// quiet] [the
past],
so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat,
they
drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage [the
present],
until the day that Noah entered into the ark [“and it was lift
up above
the earth” Gen 7:17; symbolically a type and shadow of the “rapture”],
and the flood came [symbolizing the Holy Spirit in
judgment;
i.e., Holiness came], and destroyed them all
[the
future]. Likewise
also as it was in the days
of Lot [Heb: (a) veil:
(a) covering]
[i.e., over Sodom (over false doctrine)] [the past]; they
did
eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded [the
present]; But the same day that Lot went
out of Sodom
it rained fire and brimstone from heaven [symbolically a type
and shadow
of the “rapture”], and destroyed them all [the
future]. Even
thus shall it be in the day when the Son of
man is
revealed [Gk: to take
off the
cover: disclosed] [instantly, “in the twinkling of an eye” 1 Cor
15:52;
also ref. 2 Thess 1:3-12]
1.
(Gen
19:15-17) And when the
morning arose, then the [two] angels hastened
[Heb: hurried] Lot [“just
Lot… that righteous man” 2 Pet 2:7,8], saying, Arise, take thy
wife, and
thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed [“For
our God is a consuming fire” Heb: 12:29] in the
iniquity [Heb:
perversity, moral evil: sin] of the city. And
while he lingered [Heb:
hesitated,
be reluctant: delayed, tarried], the men laid hold upon his
hand, and
upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the
LORD being merciful [Heb:
compassionate] unto
him: and they [the
angels] brought him forth,
and set him without [Heb:
outside] the city. And it came to pass, when they had
brought them
forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee,
neither
stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain [of God],
lest thou be consumed.
a.
(Gen
19:26) But his wife looked
back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt [Heb:
powder, salt (as easily dissolved /// to disappear as dust, vanish away].
2.
(Rom
8:18.19) For I reckon that the sufferings [tribulations]
of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory [of God] which shall be revealed [Gk:
to take
off the cover: disclosed] in us.
For the earnest expectation of the creature [Gk: creation]
waiteth for the manifestation [Gk:
disclosure: appearing, coming, revelation] of the sons of God.
Hi
Folks,
God bless you. We (you and I) are
growing up
together, becoming something rather amazing, incredible actually, the sons of God fathered by the Creator of the entire universe. But how
did God create the
universe? Answer: with His Thoughts.
First, God manifested
His Thoughts as angels (rhema) in Heaven, and then God “clothed” some
of those
angelic Thoughts with a protective covering (for our protection) and
presented
them to us as the Word (logos - seed) of God. Please note the joy of a happy responder 😊.
Our bodies are each the exterior pod (covering, container, shell) of an
inner
seed that was sown by Father God into the vineyard of this earth. However, the vineyard of the Lord (this
earth) shall
be destroyed.
WHY?
(Isa
5:1-7)
Now will I sing to my wellbeloved [Jesus
Christ] a song of my beloved touching his vineyard
[created to yield wine (symbol of the Holy Spirit)]. My
wellbeloved hath
a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: And he fenced it,
and
gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower
[Heb:
pulpit] in the midst of it, and also made a winepress [Heb:
a wine vat] therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild
grapes
[Heb: poison berries /// a stench: stink]. And now,
O
inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you,
betwixt
me and my vineyard. What could have been done more to my vineyard,
that I
have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought
it forth wild grapes? And now go to; I will
tell you
what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge [Heb:
to entwine, shut in (for formation, protection, restraint)]
thereof, and
it shall be eaten up [Heb:
consumed: burned,
set on fire, waste]; and break down the wall
[Heb:
inclosure: fence, hedge] thereof, and it shall be trodden down [Heb: abasement] [syn:
lowered,
demeaned, degraded, belittled, humiliated, subjugated, denigrated]: And
I will lay it waste [Heb: desolation]: it shall not
be
pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers
and thorns [Heb: scrub or trash, wild growth of weeds]
[piercing
thorns]: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain [i.e., no Word of God]
upon
it. For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of
Israel
[Heb: he will rule as God], and the men of Judah
[Heb: celebrated] his pleasant plant: and he
looked for judgment [discernment
between good and evil],
but behold oppression [Heb: slaughter]; for righteousness [Heb: rightness,
justice, virtue],
but behold a cry [Heb: a shriek] [syn: screech, scream].
Amen
