-Christ came to
enable us.(even
though.we
see ourselves as imperfect).to
have a relationship
with the Father.(Ephesians
2:13), to make it possible for
us to become one
with what is God, to be an heir
of all the universe when in Christ; to enable
our
adoption into His family. And in this, we have the
same faith as all other spiritual persons whether passed on or alive
today. The Father only has a relationship with those equal to Him:.Ephesians
2:14,16,18,22; 2Corinthians
5:21.
To become equal with God.(Psalms
82:6;
John 10:34,35; Philippians
2:5,6;
John 10:30),
He.(the
Father of all).provided
the gift of righteousness.(Romans
5:17).through
Christ, so that now we can be His sons, adopted
into the Family, and share
in all Christ has:.Colossians
1:12,13.
Philippians
2:5,6 "Let
this mind be in you,
which was also in Christ Emmanuel...who
thought it not robbery to be.equal
with God."
That is how pure the
blood of Emmanuel made us.
Romans
8:17."And if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs
with Christ, if so be that we suffer with Him.(to
'suffer' with Him is to overstand.what
He did for us and for all humanity, with great import
for us individually; the original means 'to be affected by' and to become
like {1Peter 2:20,21; 4:1},
like someone tells you something about their life and you are moved by
it, and it creates intensity within you to become different in a better
way), that we may be also glorified
together."
You are now
a
new man or woman as far as God is concerned!
The commandments
of old.precluded
this intimate relationship with the Father.(Ephesians
2:15).as
they were not of the heart, but of the letter, of
the flesh and not the spirit:.Romans
7:6; 2Corinthians 3:6.
-Christ came to do God's
will in taking away the old
covenant and replacing it with the new
covenant:.Hebrews
10:9.
-Christ came not to lay His
life down for doctrine,
but for his sheep:.John
10:11,15.
-He came so that the world
would know that He loved the Father. He wants us to know the Father:.John
14:31 "But that the world may know that I love the Father and as the
Father gave me commandment, even so I do....."
-Christ
came and was to come
again:.Revelation
1:8.
If Christ is in
us, why then is he coming again?.Isaiah
40:10.
Hebrews
9:28;
John 14:3,28;
Luke
18:8; Acts 1:11; 3:21;
Revelation
1:7;
Jude 1:14; Acts
2:20,21; 1Thessalonians
5:2-11.(a
thief in the night comes unexpectedly, without notice);
2Peter
3:10-12; Zechariah 12:10;
14:1-21.
But when?.Matthew
25:13 "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour wherein
the Son of man comes." Matthew 24:44
"Therefore be you also ready, for in such an hour as you think not the
Son of man comes.".Matthew
24:37-39.
How
was He to come again?.1Thessalonians
4:14-18; 1:10.
Christ came to come again:.1Corinthians
15:21-23 "For since by man came death, by man came also the
resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ.(or,
in the same consciousness as He displayed).shall
all be made alive. But every man in his own order. Christ the firstfruits.
Afterward they that are Christ's.at
his coming.".You
too are a firstfruit by embarking
on the
road to higher consciousness?
Why doesn't Christ come
today or why didn't he come before, as the world has always been so bad?
God is doing a work that
will never be done again. The time is coming when there will no longer
be humanity, as the purpose for humans
being on Earth will have been completed:.Revelation
21:1-6. And there will be no
more physical:.1Corinthians
2:9.
1Corinthians
12:6 "And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God
which works all in all." 1Corinthians
15:28 "And when all things shall be subdued unto him.(for
what 'subdued unto him' means, see at the scripture link),
then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things
under him, that God may be all in all."
The notable coming is the
effectiveness of many in Christ eradicating
evil. How they do this
in a way that affects all for good?
The notable coming of Christ
is when
we reach the so-called tipping point, achieved by
this and rewarded with this.
One needs to comprehend
that when in
high consciousness, God, though
always in you and is expressed as you, as God, is also
everything else that is, for without what is this intelligent, powerful
and all sustaining energy that is God, nothing would even exist if one
can comprehend that. But in
spite of that, God is only active in an individual when one is of high
consciousness, which means to begin to think as God does. How does this
help?.Matthew
11:27.
Emmanuel
the Christ predicted His return
within
the lifetime of His first century hearers. And He did return, just
as He said! He is the Creator. He can be on time. The book of Revelation
details this momentous time which forever would shove away the Old Testament
Mosaic Law by destroying those who espoused it, corrupted it and
wanted it perpetuated
for selfish reasons:.Revelation
1:1 "The Revelation of Emmanuel Christ, which God gave unto him to
show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass and
he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John."
But this was not the 'notable'
coming, the coming mentioned in these scriptures
and in.Acts
2:20; 1Corinthians 1:8;
Philippians
1:10.
God is providing an opportunity
for each of us to gain as high a position
as is possible. Some just starting on the road to God will advance
extremely quickly.(Matthew
19:30; 20:8-16),
far
surpassing
those of us who may be dawdlers.
The.notable
coming.is those
in the Kingdom of God, which
is within you, those having what's called the Christ consciousness.(uppermost
in their minds), preparing the way
by changing the Earth from its ego ways to the higher ways of the Creator.
This can only occur once the collective mind on Earth has been made ready
for it. Again, how?
Christ is being held up from
coming until humanity fixes his
issues:.1Corinthians
15:28 "And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall
the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him,
that God may be all in all.".So,
the quicker they are fixed, the quicker will be His coming. What.can.you
do in that regard?
Many religious people still
believe that the great tribulation Emmanuel talked of Matthew
24:21 applies to today and has to occur before Christ comes back. Notice
the verse says that this tribulation was unique,
that there was none like it before and non like it after would happen.
Christ was with His disciples
after He returned from seeing His Father in heaven, where He went right
after His resurrection:.Acts
10:41;
John 21:12-14; Luke
24:36-43. He is now alive in a new way, a way in which He does not
come and go as humans do, but a way in which He is simply present! This
is the kingdom of God we can enter.(Luke
17:21), that of Christ consciousness
spread throughout the Earth in the hearts of humanity, inspiring others
to also prepare for Christ's
notable coming!
Some try to divide Matthew
24 into two comings, thousands of years apart. However,
Christ was supposed to fulfil all of the Old Testament predictions
about Him in that generation. The Old Testament predicted His
return. If that did not happen in the first century, the Jews have a legitimate
complaint against Emmanuel being
their Messiah. But it did happen and was
momentous
in its day, even though since having been submerged by the macerations
of the educated ignorant.
Emmanuel said to those contemplating
His
crucifixion that they would experience events that would soon substantiate
His assertion
that He was the Anointed One, the Son of God, the One the Old Testament
scriptures predicted would come:.Matthew
26:63,64; Hebrews
9:28.
Emmanuel
the Christ was also then to come soon:.Revelation
22:7,12,20. Did He? There are many passages that show Christ was to
return in that 1st century:.Matthew
10:23 ".....You shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till
the Son of man be come.".Matthew
24:14; 16:27,28;
Luke
21:22,31;
Romans 13:11,12;
Hebrews
9:26-28;
10:37;
James
5:8,9; 1Peter 4:7; 1John
2:18; Revelation 1:1,3;
22:6,7,10,12,20.
The books of the New Testament focused upon an imminent
returning Christ. In the minds of the writers of these books, there wasn't
any doubt. Things weren't "at the door" now, but would be when they see
these things happening: Matthew 24:33.
Albert
Schweitzer, a noted liberal theologian,
in his book.The
Quest of The Historical Emmanuel, has gone to great lengths to document
the fact that Christ predicted His return.in
His generation.(that
is, in the generation which was there when He left).
Josephus
also. And this was the generation upon whom the end of their world
was to come and this occurred in 70
A.D.
In.the
regeneration.(new
life, new 'birth', because of a
new and higher consciousness).the
twelve men who were with Emmanuel will be given high positions in the government
then to dominate
Earth:.Matthew
19:28. Being 'born again', regeneration
and kingdom of Creator-God are interlinked,
that is, one is in the kingdom of God when 'born again' and there's really
nothing you have to do to get there:.2Corinthians
5:18 "And all things are of God, who has reconciled us to himself by
Emmanuel Christ and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation.(what
does this 'ministry of reconciliation' involve?).".The
work is already finished:.John
17:4 "...I have finished the work which you gave me to do.".Regeneration
is the same as born anew:.1Corinthians
15:50-57.
From
Barnes
New Testament Notes.about
Matthew 19:28:."the
word 'regeneration' occurs once elsewhere in the New Testament,
Titus
3:5. It literally means a new birth or being born
again. Applied to a man, it
denotes
the great change when the heart is renewed or when the sinner begins to
be a Christian. This is its meaning clearly in Titus. But this meaning
cannot be applied here. Christ was not born again and in no proper sense
could it be said that they had followed him in the new birth. The word
also means any great changes or restoration of things to a former state
or to a better state. In this sense it is probably used here. It refers
to that great revolution, that restoration of order in the multiverse,
that new birth here when the
dead shall rise and all human things shall be changed and a new order
of things shall start up out of the ruins of the old, when the Son of man
shall come. The passage then, should be read "You which have followed me
shall, as a reward in the great day of the resurrection of the dead and
of forming the new and eternal order of things, the day of judgment, the
regeneration, be signally honoured and blessed."
