A whirlwind came out of the north,
a great cloud, and a fire enfolding itself,

There were awesome 4-winged beings of light,
and above the space that was over their heads
was a sapphire throne
on which sat the fiery amber gemstone form of a man
flashing forth rainbows.

This was the appearance of the glory of the Lord.

sick and in prison and you visited Me.
The righteous will ask,
8
When did we do these things?
And the King will answer, Truly,

In Eternal Glory

The Body of Christ

When Jesus ascended on high,

He led captivity captive and gave gifts to men.

Ephesians 4:8

www.truthofhim2.com.

When Adam ate the forbidden fruit,

that handed over to the title deed to earth

to God’s enemy.

At the cross,

Jesus took it back.

Now is the judgment of this world:

now the prince of this world is cast out.

And I, if I be lifted up from the earth

(crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension)

will draw all men to Me.

John 12:31,32

I drew them with bands of love:

I took off the ropes of evil

(their own pride and all the rules of the world,

the flesh and the devil,)

and fed them

(with the bread of life).

Hosea 11:4

For God so loves the world

that He gave His only Son,

that whosoever believes in Him

will not perish but has everlasting life.

John 3:16

Now about spiritual gifts, brothers,

I want you to know that

no man speaking by the Spirit of God

calls Jesus cursed:

and no man can say that Jesus is the Lord,

except by the Holy Spirit.

There are varieties of gifts,

but the same Spirit.

And there are different applications

but the same Lord.

The same God works all in all,

to profit everyone: wisdom or knowledge,

or miracles, or healings, or prophecies,

or discerning of spirits, or tongues,

or interpretation of tongues,

all by the Spirit,

as He wills.

For as the body is one,

and has many parts,

all the parts make up one body,

so also is Christ.

By one Spirit

we are all baptized into one body,

so the eye can’t say because I am not a hand

I’m not in the body.

Now you are the body of Christ.

And God set some in the church,

first apostles, second prophets,

third teachers, after that, miracles,

then gifts of healings, helps,

governments, tongues.

Are all apostles? do all work miracles?

do all heal?

I will show you the more excellent way:

Though I speak with the tongues of men

and of angels, and don’t have love,

or the gift of prophecy, and all knowledge;

and though I have all faith,

so that I could remove mountains,

or give all my goods to feed the poor,

and don’t have love, it profits me nothing.

Love suffers long and is kind;

love doesn’t envy.

love doesn’t flaunt itself.

It’s not puffed up.

It doesn’t behave unbecomingly,

isn’t selfish, isn’t easily provoked,

doesn’t think evil, doesn’t rejoice in iniquity

but rejoices in the truth.

Love bears all things, believes all things,

hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails.

Prophecies are fulfilled.

Tongues will cease because the Lord will turn all earth to one pure language.

Zephaniah 3:9

Personal knowledge will be inactive

in being one with the One knows everything.

For we know in part,

and we prophesy in part.

But when the perfect One comes,

then the part will be inactive.

When I was a child,

I spoke as a child,

I understood as a child,

I thought as a child: b

ut when I became a man,

I left idle childish things.

For now we see through a mirror, obscurely;

but then face to Face:

now we know in part;

but then we will know as we are known.

Words in a book don’t know us

but the Lord

even has the hairs of our head numbered.

Matthew 10:30

We have a high priest,

who is sitting at the right hand of the throne

of the Majesty in the heavens

serving the sanctuary,

the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched,

and not man.

The earthly tabernacle

being a shadow of heavenly things.

Hebrews 8:5

Jesus is the mediator of a better covenant,

established on better promises.

For the first made nothing perfect.

But the second says, I will write My law (love) in their hearts.

Galatians 5:14

I will be merciful to their unrighteousness,

and their sins and iniquities

I will never remember.

Because He is eternal He saves

to infinity and eternity

those that come to God by him,

seeing He ever lives to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7:25

Holy, harmless, undefiled,

separate from sinners, higher than the heavens,

with His love that never fails.

By one sacrifice perfected forever

those being sanctified,

thoroughly cleansing forever

the universe to come

from all hate, sin, sadness,

harm, and evil.

Thus, forever undoing all the works of evil.

Healing forever in Himself

the split caused by the fall.

I in them and You in Me,

that they may be one in Us. John 17:21-23

That all may be forever

filled with all the fullness of God.

Ephesians 3:19

This rich glory

of His inheritance in the saints:

showing the exceeding greatness

of His power toward us who believe,

that He worked in Christ,

when He raised Him from the dead,

and set Him at His own right hand

in the heavenly places,

and put all things under his feet,

and set Him as head over the church,

which is His body (us),

the fullness of Him that fills all in all.

Ephesians 1:18-23

The Creator and Lord of all,

invites all, Come to Me

all who are weary and loaded down

and I will give you

the rest of My Eternal Love.

Matthew 11:28-30, Jeremiah 31:3

I will come again and receive you to Myself

that where I am you will be also.

John 14:3

On the Eternal Throne

He is the fountain of it.

and one for Elijah. While he was speaking a cloud overshadowed them and a voice out of the cloud said,

This is My beloved Son: hear Him.

God that made the world and all things in it,

seeing that He is Lord of heaven and earth,

doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands;

He isn’t worshipped with men's hands,

as though He needed anything,

seeing He gives to all life, and breath, and all things;

and made of one blood all nations and set their times

and boundaries of their nations in a way

that they would seek the Lord and find Him,

though He isn’t far from every one of us:

For in Him we live, and move, and have our being;

For we are His offspring.

Since we are the offspring of God,

we shouldn’t think He is like gold, or silver, or stone, carved by man's artwork.

God overlooked this in times past,

but now commands all men everywhere turn to Him

for He has set a day,

when He will judge the world in rightly

by that man whom ordained;

and guaranteed this to all men

by raising Him from the dead.

and who it is that asks you, you would ask Him,

and He would give you living water.

will thirst again:

but whosoever drinks the water

that I give him

but the water that I give

will be in him

a well of water springing up

into everlasting life.
