''Christ The Antidote Regarding Death''



                        CHRIST THE ANTIDOTE REGARDING DEATH

                                                      Part 43.

                          How To Exit This Lower Hopeless Earthly Realm!

There is a discovery among many, of a realm of living that supersedes the hopelessness that most are
experiencing in this negative world today. In the overall plan of God we can rejoice in the fact that we
have all been placed in this circumstance of seeming hopelessness for a wonderful reason & that is found
in the following encouraging inspired words of our great Apostle Paul which are!

       ''For the creation (nature) was subjected to frailty (to futility, condemned to frustration), not
because of some intentional fault on its part, but by the will of Him Who so subjected it--[yet] with the
hope. That nature (creation) itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and corruption [and gain
an entrance] into the glorious freedom of God's children. We know that the whole creation [of
irrational creatures] has been moaning together in the pains of labour until now.'' Rom 8:20-22. Amp.

        The thought that is uppermost in my heart is that this earthly realm that we are at present
experiencing, which to many is one of delusion, defeat, & finality, & also to many people the only escape
is alcohol, a drug trip, suicide, the grave, & the finality of DEATH. Incredible as it may seem to the
natural mind, the exact opposite of this is the TRUE 'existence of reality.' There is in an unseen
experience, a great unfathomable extent of love, order & eternal existence, which is not perceived with
the natural seeing eye but through an eye which is an eye that belongs to another eternal existence & it is
called FAITH. Which if we begin to exercise we can expect the following.

     '' I WAITED patiently and expectantly for the Lord; and He inclined to me and heard my cry. - We
know that the whole creation has been moaning together in the pains of labour until now - He drew me
up out of a horrible pit [a pit of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay (froth and slime), and
set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings. And He has put a new song
in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many shall see and fear (revere and worship) and put their
trust and confident reliance in the Lord.'' Psa 40:1-3. Amp.

     He drew me up out of a horrible pit this pit of seeming destruction, He then set my feet upon a
ROCK namely Christ who is actually a very real part of your being & is waiting for you to reach out
within yourself & then begin to experience this other wonderful eternal world & then you will no longer
be singing a song of hopelessness, but a new song & then you are promised that you will have trust &
confidence in the Lord of the one who controls this other unseen eternal existence; for you will have seen
& be experiencing it through the eye of faith which is already within you & needs to be used, for we are
told that ''He has dealt to every man the measure of faith.'' With use or exercise it will develop in ANY
man.

      ''Return to the stronghold [of security and prosperity], you prisoners of hope; even today do I
declare that I will restore double your former prosperity to you.'' Zech 9:12. Amp.

       Notice that Zechariah refers to the prisoners of hope, the reason for this is that our great eternal
Father has always had a plan even from the beginning that we would be lowered into the prison of this
carnal world so that in the turmoil of hopelessness we would reach out & each & every soul will in time
do just that, for is it not written that ''when I am lifted up I will draw all souls to myself.'' So all is not
hopelessness there is a purpose to every experience we have in existence & if you can believe it love is
the motivating force behind all that you & I are experiencing today for we must experience & endure
trials. But be encouraged.
         ''Who remembered us in our low estate; for His mercy endures forever;'' Psa 136:23.

''Christ The Antidote Regarding Death''



                              The Communication Between Two Worlds!

I am now quoting from a writer who I greatly respect. ''We would help you to raise your consciousness to
the spheres where harmony, truth & love prevail. The whole purpose of the unfoldment of these inner
powers, which all men & women possess in greater or lesser degree, is that you may become aware of
spirit, & be able to receive impressions of harmony & truth from the spirit world including angels & the
spirits of 'just men made perfect' Heb 12:22-23.

   Truth is a spirit law, a reality reflecting the law of God. But we have to prepare ourselves physically,
mentally & spiritually, before we can reflect the truth which exists in the spiritual world.

       We have heard much talk about psychic matters & the proofs of an afterlife obtainable through
psychic evidence, with great emphasis laid on the scientific viewpoint, rather suggesting thereby that the
spiritual viewpoint is not scientific. This idea we would like to correct, & make clear that there is nothing
unscientific in spiritual law. Spiritual law is eternally true, while the pronouncements of science change
almost yearly, so what is considered true today will be dismissed & forgotten tomorrow. With spiritual
law there is no change other than continual unfoldment & growth. More & more truth becomes revealed
to a human being as his or her inner self grows in awareness; but the law remains constant.

    Spiritual science is the true science, both on earth & in the celestial spheres. When a man or woman
becomes aware of, practices & lives these cosmic & spiritual laws he or she is truly a person of science.

    First then, let us understand that spiritual unfoldment of your inner faculties is an altogether scientific
process. If you ignore the laws of God, chaos somewhere in your being will be the result. But if you
study the laws of God & abide by them, if you obey the inner promptings of your spirit & go steadfastly
forward step by step on the path which lies before you, you will discover a deep well of wisdom within
your heart; & also cause your emanation to expand & it will emerge & be noticeable externally so that it
reaches out to touch both the heights & the depths of life & the lives of others.

      Notice that we have said the depths. Your consciousness & awareness must extend both ways,
reaching to both ends of the scale. Your consciousness & emanation must expand to embrace the height,
the depth & the breadth of life, & in the process of this expansion you will acquire great tolerance, great
love towards life & all creatures, & a deep calm & tranquillity of spirit. You will no longer be shocked or
repelled by anything: you will accept & understand that humanity in all its stages is in process of
evolution or return towards God, from whom all came.'' Unquote.

                      The Truth Of God's Overall Plan For Your Experience!

  ''For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for
welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. 12 Then you will call upon
Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. 13 Then you will seek Me,
inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your
heart. 14 I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you from captivity........ to which I
have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I caused you to be
carried away captive.'' Jer 29:11-14. Amp. This is a wonderful verse for all who have not yet broken
completely from the captivity of this position of hopelessness. God has wonderful plans for your spiritual
welfare NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, OR THE CONDITION THAT YOU ARE IN AT THE MOMENT. ''I am
going to give you welfare, peace & hope in your final outcome'' I will release you from your present
spiritual captivity to which I have driven you & I will bring you back to the original place from which I
caused you to be carried away captive. I ask the question, where & what was that place? As most of us
know we were created in Christ Jesus, Eph 2:10, the original tells us created not recreated. Where did this
take place? In the very first chapter of Genesis 1: 27-28, & we might notice that this one who was both

                                                           2
''Christ The Antidote Regarding Death''



male & female was commanded to be fruitful & multiply out of their one self, - which & who was a
complete man - & this is where you originally came into being in this most spiritual state. Might I say at
this point that this is exactly where we are headed at this moment that we would realise that there is really
no separation between the male & the female – the soul & spirit – only in our veiled understanding. The
apostle Paul makes the wonderful statement in the book of Ephesians.

    ''Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before
the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless
in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love. For He foreordained us (destined us, planned
in love for us) to be adopted (revealed) as His own children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with
the purpose of His will [because it pleased Him and was His kind intent]''-- Eph 1:4-5. Amp. So the
promise of our Father is that He is bringing us back to this realisation of understanding of who we really
are. You are not just a mortal human being consisting of flesh & blood but you are the 'offspring of
God', ''a partaker of His divine nature'' 2 Pet 1:4. This is your true heritage & as we were told a little
earlier in Jeremiah ''I will bring you back to the place from which I caused you to be carried away
captive.'' And once again I iterate that this place is the Gen 1: 27-28 experience wherein is that
realisation of your true identity even Christ.

                       Our Soul And Spirit Have Never Yet Been Separated!

Did not the serpent – which is representative of the carnal mind – say to Eve in Gen 3:5, that in the day
that you eat of the forbidden tree of good & evil you will be like God & you will know the difference
between good & evil & blessing & calamity Gen 2:17. Now the sad thing was that in their true spiritual
creation & understanding they were already in the image of God & were replicas of the Father & had this
high standing. How & why? Because Christ was already their true identity, but the moment they wanted
to be as gods in a lower realm they became deceived for the spirit of God will not be relegated to that
lower realm for ''flesh & blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.'' For the command ever stands that
in the day that you not only eat of that tree but even touch it you shall surely die & so they died
immediately they ate of the tree within themselves & even though the outward proof of the result was not
evidenced for 930 years which was the best part of one thousand years, they still died in the day that was
in God's calculations, for did not our respected Apostle Peter inform us that ''one day is as a thousand
years & a thousand years as one day.'' Now we well know that there is a deeper understanding to this
but we also realise that there are three depths or interpretations to the inspired scripture. And so from the
moment they partook of the fruit of the tree of good & evil, the evil was reversed & became a veil which
caused in their minds the delusion that there was a separation of soul & spirit which is a lie. Now without
seeming too pedantic is it only coincidence that the word lie is in both the words evil & veil? THERE IS
NOT AND THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A SEPARATION BETWEEN SOUL & SPIRIT. Only in the evil lie of the
veil.
       I hear someone saying but we are told that the veil is already taken away for all Christians; this may
be true but only in the same way that the blood that Jesus shed is for all, but until we come into that
understanding it is not yet effective in our experience. To further illustrate we read this verse. ''God who
is the Saviour of all men, specially of them that believe.'' 1Tim 4:10. Now even though God may be the
saviour of ALL MEN it has not yet been experienced by all, it is now especially to them that have so far
believed & taken advantage of the Word. This wonderful, wonderful, truth of the realisation that the
Kingdom of God, The Most Holy Place experience will eventually be understood by all, and that it is
ONLY WITHIN GODS TEMPLE which is both you & I. Let us now look very closely as this text proves that
it is an inward experience, in that it is saying that the veil is upon their hearts. Inward & not outward!
      ''But their minds were blinded: for to this day, when the Old Testament - the law of Moses.- is read,
the same veil rests over them, and it is not known to them that the veil has been removed through
Christ. 15 But even unto this day, whenever the books of Moses are read, the veil is upon their hearts.
16 Nevertheless whenever a man - repents fully and - turns to the LORD, - within - the veil is taken
away.'' 2Co 3:14-16.


                                                           3
''Christ The Antidote Regarding Death''



      When a man turns or fully repents of what? I believe it is partly outward religiosity. If in any way
we are still looking to the glory of Moses or our own works, the works of the flesh or doctrines of men
who think that the kingdom of God is anywhere else other than entos within we have missed the mark of
the high calling. When discussing this with some they are utterly convinced that the veil is somewhere in
the celestial realm in a place called heaven which is an outer concept. For those who are wanting to attain
to the man-child status the outer Pentecostal concept must be superseded for ''the secret place of the most
high'' or the Most Holy Place within understanding. Please allow me to close this thought, with the next
two verses from the Amplified, with the intention of also introducing another related theme.
     ''Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from
bondage, freedom). 18 And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the
Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own
image in ever increasing splendour and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the
Lord [Who is] the Spirit.'' 2Co 3:17-18.
                                   From One Degree Of Glory To Another!

We are told that in the spirit of the Lord that there is liberty, emancipation from bondage. What bondage?
The bondage of flesh & error. And wonderful news we are constantly being transfigured in ever
increasing splendour, & this is the wonderful punch line, from ONE DEGREE OF GLORY TO ANOTHER.
What is that glory? There is the glory of the stars, another of the moon & another of the sun. 1Cor 15:41.
Now interestingly the moon does not have its own light but is a reflection of the greater glory the sun,
which typifies the Sun of righteousness who is Christ. Mal 4:2. Each one has its own separate reason for
existing but each goes from one different degree to another & each one increases in splendour. Now
please take note each glory differs from the next. Let us now look at the Tabernacle, there is a glory of
the Outer Court which is wonderful in its own right & when we first experienced God in that realm I
could see nothing else & of course Jesus Christ was wonderful in this degree of glory. Then after a period
of time we were led to be interested in another higher degree of glory the Holy Place, Pentecost, which
again differed & was far more wonderful in experience from the first. In time I was told that there was a
higher way again. This was called The Most Holy Place. Now as the glory of the sun FAR OUTSHONE
the moon & stars, I was to learn that the reality of this experience far, far outshone the earlier two & was
also to learn that one of the reasons that it was also termed the SECRET PLACE was that nowhere as many
could see it, or wanted to know about it. This experience was to prove vastly different & this is why. As
light was revealed the geographical position of the Most Holy Place shifted from a place called by most
Christians ''heaven'' into God's true temple MAN, ''You are the temple of God'' the reason that we sit
together in heavenly places is that we have now realised that our Fathers dwelling place is no longer so
much in a geographical celestial sphere, but in us, His Temple, YOU AND I. This is now the different
degree of glory of ever increasing splendour that the inspirer of our great writer Paul was really
referring to.

                                   The Expansion Of God's Kingdom!

 According to the study of astronomy there is a wealth of diverse information in every beam of light, each
beam is different & has its own glory as it were & those who are experts in this field can read into &
glean so much information from each beam, it is simply amazing. Whether you can believe it or not, it
can be proven that the universe is actually enlarging & that there is an actual expansion of the universe. I
do not doubt this! I also as you no doubt do, believe that ''The heavens declare the glory of God'' if the
heavens are expanding, then as they declare the glory of God I see this as a type of the true Church & as
they are expanding so is the Church & if the space in the universe is expanding, how much more the
things of the spirit of God. The spiritual heavens - celestial spheres - are now enlarging & making room
for the expansion of God's Church, which is in actual fact in God's people, His dwelling place, His
abiding places, 'His Temple, which you are.' The understanding, the revelation, the realisation, is even
now expanding & is preparing to make room for a dynamic move into the sphere of a higher & larger
divine understanding & action. SPIRITUAL SPACE MUST MAKE ROOM FOR THE EXPANSION OF GOD
& HIS BODY. The action of this coming will be seven times greater than the book of Acts. Which God

willing I will show why you at another time! By the way read the book of Acts & get a full picture of the
what actually happened. One thing was that the whole of Asia heard the word. It was simply amazing!

     ''But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the Book until the time of the end. [Then] many
shall run to and fro and search anxiously [through the Book], and knowledge [of God's purposes as
revealed by His prophets] shall be increased and become great.'' Dan 12:4. Amp. And knowledge shall
be increased & become GREAT.

     ''And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall
be the LORD'S.'' Obadiah 1:21 KJV. These saviours of course are the extension of Christ Himself, His
corporate self, the man-child.

     ''And say to him, Thus says the Lord of hosts: [You, Joshua] behold (look at, keep in sight, watch)
the Man [the Messiah] whose name is the Branch, for He shall grow up in His place and He shall
build the [true] temple of the Lord''. Zech. 6:12. Amp. Once again this Man, this corporate man whose
name is the Branch - Christ in His complete fullness - will be used to build the true complete temple of
the Lord as found in the 21st Chapter of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. This temple of course is
comprised of people who have been completely transformed into shining lights which are the finished
work of the Branch. Can you rejoice with me? Isa. 4:2; Jer. 23:5; 33:15; Zech. 3:8.

      ''But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed
into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.'' 2Cor 3:18. ASV. Here we
have it again from glory to glory, are changed into what we behold, or what we have faith for. For
clarification what we are beholding in the mirror is the glory we are in & believing for. It is our choice if
we wish to go to a higher glory than where we are at the moment.

     ''The eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eye is sound, your entire body will be full of light. 23
But if your eye is unsound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the very light in you [your
conscience] is darkened, how dense is that darkness!'' Mat 6:22-23. Amp.

                                     But Wonderful, Wonderful News!

''in the wake of a background of gloom, judgement, and terror], a feast of wines on the lees--of fat
things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. 7 And He will destroy on this mountain the
covering of the face that is cast over the heads of all peoples [in mourning], and the VEIL [of profound
wretchedness] that is WOVEN and spread over all nations. 8 He will swallow up death [in victory; He
will abolish death forever]. And the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces; and the reproach of
His people He will take away from off all the earth; for the Lord has spoken it.'' Isa 25:6b-8. Amp.

       In the wake of a background of gloom, judgement, & terror. Isaiah is speaking of this lower,
hopeless, earthly realm. We also read that the the veil has been woven & spread over all the nations, this
means that every warp & woof of religiosity is affected. The word woven carries a strong message, when
something is woven well, it is almost impossible to tear, it is there to stay. To remove this veil it will take
only the power & anointing of the spirit of our Father on the deeply applied word to unravel it. This veil
is also one of profound wretchedness. When the scripture tells us that death will be swallowed up, the
greater part of the meaning is that God will so open our spiritual understanding & we will be so sensitive
& imbued with the reality of who we really are that the old or former understanding of our mistaken
identity or the old perception of things will be swallowed up even as light swallows up darkness. Why?
Because darkness does not really exist it is simply the absence of light, we will eventually come into the
full reality that Jesus had when he told us that I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE.

     Another way that we could say this concerning ourselves, is. I, the soul; - the mind will & emotions


                                                           5
''Christ The Antidote Regarding Death''



- & my Christ self are one, or inseparable. Now of course it is one thing to say it but in that day by the
spirit of God that we fully realise this, it will be the full enactment of Rom 8: 21-23.

           NOW THE TRUE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, THAT THEY NEVER WERE SEPARATED.

                                      The Two Are Already One!

I envisage that in the future, that as the anointed manifest sons or man-child begin to impart this news to
the hungry there will be such an enlargement of divine realisation that there will be a move of the Spirit of
our Father such has never been seen which reminds me of the story found in 1Samuel.

     ''And Jonathan said to his young armour-bearer, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these
uncircumcised; it may be that the Lord will work for us. For there is nothing to prevent the Lord from
saving by many or by few.'' 1Sa 14:6 Amp. When we read of the word ALL mentioned so many times,
we realise that it will be ''every man in his own order'' or time, rank or turn. When the above enactment
begins among the uncircumcised, believe me, it will not be by few. The next verse I believe also to be
prophetic.

      ''Moreover, the Hebrews who were with the Philistines before that time, who went up with them
into the camp from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were
with Saul and Jonathan.'' 1Sa 14:21. Amp. Notice that we are told that there were some Hebrews who
had gone back on their true faith & had joined with the Philistines - enemies of God's people - for
whatever reason, became convicted when they saw the power of God & the faith of the Israelites &
repented & returned to even greater than what they had experienced before they left. What wonderful
things we can expect. Which leads me to our next comment.

                    It Is The Goodness Of God That Leads Us To Repentance!

Because of past experiences of the goodness of God I wish to share the following, which is not a very
popular subject because of obvious reasons. This is not so much written to those in a high place in God
but to those who are intent on attaining.
      ''And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons, "My son, despise not the
chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are rebuked by Him; 6 for whom the Lord loves He
chastens, and He scourges every son whom He receives." 7 If you endure chastening, God deals with
you as with sons, for what son is he whom the father does not chasten? 8 But if you are without
chastisement, of which all are partakers, then you are bastards and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have
had fathers of our flesh who corrected us, and we gave them reverence. Shall we not much rather be in
subjection to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For truly they chastened us for a few days according to
their own pleasure, but He for our profit, that we might be partakers of His holiness.''
Heb 12:5-10.MKJV.
      What we have just read is a vital part of God's goodness that we increase in our understanding of His
love. Condemnation will never cause anyone to truly repent. Conviction never brings condemnation.
What is our true motive for walking the way of Tabernacles. I think that the motive of Moses in the next
verse would describe what should be the true motive of our allegiance. God's method in what He
perceives as goodness, may sometimes seem to some as madness.
     ''And Moses said, I beseech You, show me Your glory.'' Exo 33:18. Amp. Moses had seen so much
& yet what He mostly desired above all else was, 'Father show me your Glory'. Yet let us reconsider his
life, note what he went through right from when he killed the Egyptian, & then even before that he came
from the highest house - his adoptive family - in the land where he was raised as a Prince, yet when he
saw the injustice that was happening to his true people, Israel, he gave up all; & our wonderful God
eventually brought him to the place where he could say from a changed heart Lord above all else show
me your Glory. But it did not come easy, as he endured chastening that he might mature into a high
place. Do you think that our God who is no respecter of persons thinks any less of you. NO, NO, NO. The

chastening's of God are to bring us to a place that above all we wish our Father to show us His glory –
even within ourselves - for this is the motive that I believe He is looking for in all of us. One thing
further, this happened to a man who did not yet see the true meaning of the Holy Place let alone the Most
Holy Place as we see it today, but was totally under the LAW. Where is this Glory today?

     ''The God who said, "Out of darkness the light shall shine!" is the same God who made his light
shine in our hearts, to bring us the knowledge of God's glory shining in the face of Christ.''
2Co 4:6. GNB. This light that shines in our hearts within, is meant to bring us to understand that God's
glory is shining in the face of Christ. Who is where? Within us. Thank God for his chastening's!
HALLELUJAH.
       What a hope! ''which we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and
entering into that which is within the veil;'' Heb 6:19. ASV. How thankful we are for this calling. By
the way it is the second veil that is the important one for those who are yet aspiring to Tabernacles. There
was also a veil at the entrance to the Holy Place. Some are inclined to confuse the two!
    ''Behind the second curtain was a second section called the Most Holy Place,'' Heb 9:3 ESV.
    ''And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of holies;'' Heb 9:3. ASV.

                            The First And Last Man On The Sixth Day!

 On the sixth day God created, a man, the first Adam who was - even as we are – the Christ within being
his true identity. Gen1:27. Who is Christ? He is the son of the Father & is Spirit. He was told to be
fruitful & multiply, so Christ begat spiritual replicas of Himself. We must remember that this book is full
of metaphors & so there is more involved than the words that we read. In reading this Chapter very
closely I notice that the creating of man was left till last at the END of the sixth day, which to me is
significant. How long between Gen 1:26 & the time that He made man a living soul we can only guess, -
but it certainly was not a 24 hour day,- but in that time the Adam, who was both - male & female – in
spirit form & was the very manifestation of Christ was in constant spiritual procreation & that is when I
believe that we came into existence. ''for we are His workmanship, created - not recreated - in Christ
Jesus unto good works, which God before prepared that we should walk in them.'' Eph 2:10. 1:11.Amp.
This I believe is when we were created spirit beings, in Gods Image - for we were the image of Christ-
God had a great intricate plan ahead ''for who has known His mind?'' Answer; ''for He has revealed them
unto us by His Spirit.'' Which is what we are sharing now.

      Then once again on the sixth day or the sixth thousandth year 2Pet 3:8 Christ again creates another
man - which is now well in process - who is actually the same identity as the first spiritual man, Christ,
who is also the last Adam, 1Cor15:45. This is also the corporate many membered Christ, & are the
manifested sons of God or the man-child. Now the difference between these & the man in Gen Chapter 1
is that these have been through a process of realisation & have now come to the place where they will
manifest even as divine beings, yes, even as our forerunner, Jesus Christ, but this time with a glorified
body that has overcome death. This body will not be a trumped up carnal body for '' flesh & blood cannot
inherit the kingdom of God.'' I would also bring to your attention that the culmination of the revealing, or
the manifestation once again occurs at the END of the sixth day. Which brings me to conclude this
paragraph with; Is He not 'the first & the last?' This is all showing that the planning of God is incredible
& to perfection. ''After two days - A.D.- he will revive us; on the third day - A.D.- he will raise us up,
that we may live before him.'' Hos 6:2. ESV. The 2nd day here is from A.D. & is exactly the same as the
overall 6th day as is the 3rd day - A.D.- also equivalent to the overall 7th day.
             To Him who alone does great wonders; for His mercy endures forever. Psa 136:4.

     Hear what one of our great forerunners George Hawtin has to say on this very theme. “The answer
to the eternal question, What is man that thou art mindful of him is twofold because the question is
twofold. What is man? The answer by example is Jesus Christ highly exalted, His name being
above every name. He is the FIRST MAN & THE LAST MAN. He is the beginning of the creation of


                                                          7
''Christ The Antidote Regarding Death''



God & He is the end of the creation of God.......What He is, we are becoming to which the scripture
clearly attests saying, 'As he is, so are we in this world,' ” 1Jn 4:17. End quote.

                                     How To Exit This Lower Hopeless Earthly Realm!

Now to return to our original thought & that is the reality of life. The answer to our original question of
hopelessness at the beginning of this article is Jesus Christ who is the exact opposite to what this lower,
carnal existence would tell us. In the true Christ realm it is full of love, light, hope, power, eternal bliss,
but the greatest of all of these is LOVE. That which may seem almost impossible to many now, is
absolutely possible for you & with your dedication & resolution you can realise that you are already a part
of this other realm that you cannot see with the natural eye but is more that discernible through & by the
eye of faith. You see we are told the whole earth is about to awaken from its sleep of death as the sons of
God begin to move without inhibition under the Headship of our Lord Jesus Christ. ''Every knee will
bow & every tongue will confess'' Isa 25:43. This incidentally is rarely taught among Church circles &
to them it seems an impossible dream. But that which was taught by the Hebrew prophets of old; this
world-wide ministry of Christ is even now beginning to come to pass. ''When I am lifted up from the
earth, I will draw all men unto myself.'' This of course has a twofold meaning. The first is when He
was lifted up on the cross; the second is that when He is lifted up in our hearts & we are separated from
our earthy mundane way of thinking & we realise that 'He was not from this world but His glory is in
another' Jn 3;13, & in truth that is who & where we are. For is not His identity our true identity?

                           These Texts I Found To Be Of Great Encouragement, Thus The Sharing!

''Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 6 Then shall the lame man leap
like a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing for joy. For waters shall break forth in the wilderness and streams in the
desert. 7 And the burning sand and the mirage shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water; in the haunt
of jackals, where they lay resting, shall be grass with reeds and rushes. 8 And a highway shall be there, and a way; and it
shall be called the Holy Way. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for the redeemed; the wayfaring men, yes,
the simple ones and fools, shall not err in it and lose their way. 9 No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast come
up on it; they shall not be found there. But the redeemed shall walk on it. 10 And the ransomed of the Lord shall return
and come to Zion with singing, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and
sorrow and sighing shall flee away.'' Isa 35:5-10. Amp.

    ''Ho! Escape to Zion, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon! 8 For thus said the Lord of hosts, after [His] glory
had sent me [His messenger] to the nations who plundered you--for he who touches you touches the apple or pupil of His
eye: 9 Behold, I will swing my hand over them and they shall become plunder for those who served them. Then you shall
know (recognise and understand) that the Lord of hosts has sent me [His messenger]. 10 Sing and rejoice, O Daughter of
Zion; for behold, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you, says the Lord. 11 And many nations shall join themselves to
the Lord in that day and shall be My people. And I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know (recognise and
understand) that the Lord of hosts has sent me [His messenger] to you.'' Zech 2:7-11. Amp.           Mic. 4:2.

Once again blessings to all.

Part 43. ''How To Exit This Hopeless Earthly Realm''.

  • 1. ''Christ The Antidote Regarding Death'' CHRIST THE ANTIDOTE REGARDING DEATH Part 43. How To Exit This Lower Hopeless Earthly Realm! There is a discovery among many, of a realm of living that supersedes the hopelessness that most are experiencing in this negative world today. In the overall plan of God we can rejoice in the fact that we have all been placed in this circumstance of seeming hopelessness for a wonderful reason & that is found in the following encouraging inspired words of our great Apostle Paul which are! ''For the creation (nature) was subjected to frailty (to futility, condemned to frustration), not because of some intentional fault on its part, but by the will of Him Who so subjected it--[yet] with the hope. That nature (creation) itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and corruption [and gain an entrance] into the glorious freedom of God's children. We know that the whole creation [of irrational creatures] has been moaning together in the pains of labour until now.'' Rom 8:20-22. Amp. The thought that is uppermost in my heart is that this earthly realm that we are at present experiencing, which to many is one of delusion, defeat, & finality, & also to many people the only escape is alcohol, a drug trip, suicide, the grave, & the finality of DEATH. Incredible as it may seem to the natural mind, the exact opposite of this is the TRUE 'existence of reality.' There is in an unseen experience, a great unfathomable extent of love, order & eternal existence, which is not perceived with the natural seeing eye but through an eye which is an eye that belongs to another eternal existence & it is called FAITH. Which if we begin to exercise we can expect the following. '' I WAITED patiently and expectantly for the Lord; and He inclined to me and heard my cry. - We know that the whole creation has been moaning together in the pains of labour until now - He drew me up out of a horrible pit [a pit of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay (froth and slime), and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings. And He has put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many shall see and fear (revere and worship) and put their trust and confident reliance in the Lord.'' Psa 40:1-3. Amp. He drew me up out of a horrible pit this pit of seeming destruction, He then set my feet upon a ROCK namely Christ who is actually a very real part of your being & is waiting for you to reach out within yourself & then begin to experience this other wonderful eternal world & then you will no longer be singing a song of hopelessness, but a new song & then you are promised that you will have trust & confidence in the Lord of the one who controls this other unseen eternal existence; for you will have seen & be experiencing it through the eye of faith which is already within you & needs to be used, for we are told that ''He has dealt to every man the measure of faith.'' With use or exercise it will develop in ANY man. ''Return to the stronghold [of security and prosperity], you prisoners of hope; even today do I declare that I will restore double your former prosperity to you.'' Zech 9:12. Amp. Notice that Zechariah refers to the prisoners of hope, the reason for this is that our great eternal Father has always had a plan even from the beginning that we would be lowered into the prison of this carnal world so that in the turmoil of hopelessness we would reach out & each & every soul will in time do just that, for is it not written that ''when I am lifted up I will draw all souls to myself.'' So all is not hopelessness there is a purpose to every experience we have in existence & if you can believe it love is the motivating force behind all that you & I are experiencing today for we must experience & endure trials. But be encouraged. ''Who remembered us in our low estate; for His mercy endures forever;'' Psa 136:23. 1
  • 2. ''Christ The Antidote Regarding Death'' The Communication Between Two Worlds! I am now quoting from a writer who I greatly respect. ''We would help you to raise your consciousness to the spheres where harmony, truth & love prevail. The whole purpose of the unfoldment of these inner powers, which all men & women possess in greater or lesser degree, is that you may become aware of spirit, & be able to receive impressions of harmony & truth from the spirit world including angels & the spirits of 'just men made perfect' Heb 12:22-23. Truth is a spirit law, a reality reflecting the law of God. But we have to prepare ourselves physically, mentally & spiritually, before we can reflect the truth which exists in the spiritual world. We have heard much talk about psychic matters & the proofs of an afterlife obtainable through psychic evidence, with great emphasis laid on the scientific viewpoint, rather suggesting thereby that the spiritual viewpoint is not scientific. This idea we would like to correct, & make clear that there is nothing unscientific in spiritual law. Spiritual law is eternally true, while the pronouncements of science change almost yearly, so what is considered true today will be dismissed & forgotten tomorrow. With spiritual law there is no change other than continual unfoldment & growth. More & more truth becomes revealed to a human being as his or her inner self grows in awareness; but the law remains constant. Spiritual science is the true science, both on earth & in the celestial spheres. When a man or woman becomes aware of, practices & lives these cosmic & spiritual laws he or she is truly a person of science. First then, let us understand that spiritual unfoldment of your inner faculties is an altogether scientific process. If you ignore the laws of God, chaos somewhere in your being will be the result. But if you study the laws of God & abide by them, if you obey the inner promptings of your spirit & go steadfastly forward step by step on the path which lies before you, you will discover a deep well of wisdom within your heart; & also cause your emanation to expand & it will emerge & be noticeable externally so that it reaches out to touch both the heights & the depths of life & the lives of others. Notice that we have said the depths. Your consciousness & awareness must extend both ways, reaching to both ends of the scale. Your consciousness & emanation must expand to embrace the height, the depth & the breadth of life, & in the process of this expansion you will acquire great tolerance, great love towards life & all creatures, & a deep calm & tranquillity of spirit. You will no longer be shocked or repelled by anything: you will accept & understand that humanity in all its stages is in process of evolution or return towards God, from whom all came.'' Unquote. The Truth Of God's Overall Plan For Your Experience! ''For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. 12 Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. 13 Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you from captivity........ to which I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive.'' Jer 29:11-14. Amp. This is a wonderful verse for all who have not yet broken completely from the captivity of this position of hopelessness. God has wonderful plans for your spiritual welfare NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, OR THE CONDITION THAT YOU ARE IN AT THE MOMENT. ''I am going to give you welfare, peace & hope in your final outcome'' I will release you from your present spiritual captivity to which I have driven you & I will bring you back to the original place from which I caused you to be carried away captive. I ask the question, where & what was that place? As most of us know we were created in Christ Jesus, Eph 2:10, the original tells us created not recreated. Where did this take place? In the very first chapter of Genesis 1: 27-28, & we might notice that this one who was both 2
  • 3. ''Christ The Antidote Regarding Death'' male & female was commanded to be fruitful & multiply out of their one self, - which & who was a complete man - & this is where you originally came into being in this most spiritual state. Might I say at this point that this is exactly where we are headed at this moment that we would realise that there is really no separation between the male & the female – the soul & spirit – only in our veiled understanding. The apostle Paul makes the wonderful statement in the book of Ephesians. ''Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love. For He foreordained us (destined us, planned in love for us) to be adopted (revealed) as His own children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the purpose of His will [because it pleased Him and was His kind intent]''-- Eph 1:4-5. Amp. So the promise of our Father is that He is bringing us back to this realisation of understanding of who we really are. You are not just a mortal human being consisting of flesh & blood but you are the 'offspring of God', ''a partaker of His divine nature'' 2 Pet 1:4. This is your true heritage & as we were told a little earlier in Jeremiah ''I will bring you back to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive.'' And once again I iterate that this place is the Gen 1: 27-28 experience wherein is that realisation of your true identity even Christ. Our Soul And Spirit Have Never Yet Been Separated! Did not the serpent – which is representative of the carnal mind – say to Eve in Gen 3:5, that in the day that you eat of the forbidden tree of good & evil you will be like God & you will know the difference between good & evil & blessing & calamity Gen 2:17. Now the sad thing was that in their true spiritual creation & understanding they were already in the image of God & were replicas of the Father & had this high standing. How & why? Because Christ was already their true identity, but the moment they wanted to be as gods in a lower realm they became deceived for the spirit of God will not be relegated to that lower realm for ''flesh & blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.'' For the command ever stands that in the day that you not only eat of that tree but even touch it you shall surely die & so they died immediately they ate of the tree within themselves & even though the outward proof of the result was not evidenced for 930 years which was the best part of one thousand years, they still died in the day that was in God's calculations, for did not our respected Apostle Peter inform us that ''one day is as a thousand years & a thousand years as one day.'' Now we well know that there is a deeper understanding to this but we also realise that there are three depths or interpretations to the inspired scripture. And so from the moment they partook of the fruit of the tree of good & evil, the evil was reversed & became a veil which caused in their minds the delusion that there was a separation of soul & spirit which is a lie. Now without seeming too pedantic is it only coincidence that the word lie is in both the words evil & veil? THERE IS NOT AND THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A SEPARATION BETWEEN SOUL & SPIRIT. Only in the evil lie of the veil. I hear someone saying but we are told that the veil is already taken away for all Christians; this may be true but only in the same way that the blood that Jesus shed is for all, but until we come into that understanding it is not yet effective in our experience. To further illustrate we read this verse. ''God who is the Saviour of all men, specially of them that believe.'' 1Tim 4:10. Now even though God may be the saviour of ALL MEN it has not yet been experienced by all, it is now especially to them that have so far believed & taken advantage of the Word. This wonderful, wonderful, truth of the realisation that the Kingdom of God, The Most Holy Place experience will eventually be understood by all, and that it is ONLY WITHIN GODS TEMPLE which is both you & I. Let us now look very closely as this text proves that it is an inward experience, in that it is saying that the veil is upon their hearts. Inward & not outward! ''But their minds were blinded: for to this day, when the Old Testament - the law of Moses.- is read, the same veil rests over them, and it is not known to them that the veil has been removed through Christ. 15 But even unto this day, whenever the books of Moses are read, the veil is upon their hearts. 16 Nevertheless whenever a man - repents fully and - turns to the LORD, - within - the veil is taken away.'' 2Co 3:14-16. 3
  • 4. ''Christ The Antidote Regarding Death'' When a man turns or fully repents of what? I believe it is partly outward religiosity. If in any way we are still looking to the glory of Moses or our own works, the works of the flesh or doctrines of men who think that the kingdom of God is anywhere else other than entos within we have missed the mark of the high calling. When discussing this with some they are utterly convinced that the veil is somewhere in the celestial realm in a place called heaven which is an outer concept. For those who are wanting to attain to the man-child status the outer Pentecostal concept must be superseded for ''the secret place of the most high'' or the Most Holy Place within understanding. Please allow me to close this thought, with the next two verses from the Amplified, with the intention of also introducing another related theme. ''Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom). 18 And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendour and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.'' 2Co 3:17-18. From One Degree Of Glory To Another! We are told that in the spirit of the Lord that there is liberty, emancipation from bondage. What bondage? The bondage of flesh & error. And wonderful news we are constantly being transfigured in ever increasing splendour, & this is the wonderful punch line, from ONE DEGREE OF GLORY TO ANOTHER. What is that glory? There is the glory of the stars, another of the moon & another of the sun. 1Cor 15:41. Now interestingly the moon does not have its own light but is a reflection of the greater glory the sun, which typifies the Sun of righteousness who is Christ. Mal 4:2. Each one has its own separate reason for existing but each goes from one different degree to another & each one increases in splendour. Now please take note each glory differs from the next. Let us now look at the Tabernacle, there is a glory of the Outer Court which is wonderful in its own right & when we first experienced God in that realm I could see nothing else & of course Jesus Christ was wonderful in this degree of glory. Then after a period of time we were led to be interested in another higher degree of glory the Holy Place, Pentecost, which again differed & was far more wonderful in experience from the first. In time I was told that there was a higher way again. This was called The Most Holy Place. Now as the glory of the sun FAR OUTSHONE the moon & stars, I was to learn that the reality of this experience far, far outshone the earlier two & was also to learn that one of the reasons that it was also termed the SECRET PLACE was that nowhere as many could see it, or wanted to know about it. This experience was to prove vastly different & this is why. As light was revealed the geographical position of the Most Holy Place shifted from a place called by most Christians ''heaven'' into God's true temple MAN, ''You are the temple of God'' the reason that we sit together in heavenly places is that we have now realised that our Fathers dwelling place is no longer so much in a geographical celestial sphere, but in us, His Temple, YOU AND I. This is now the different degree of glory of ever increasing splendour that the inspirer of our great writer Paul was really referring to. The Expansion Of God's Kingdom! According to the study of astronomy there is a wealth of diverse information in every beam of light, each beam is different & has its own glory as it were & those who are experts in this field can read into & glean so much information from each beam, it is simply amazing. Whether you can believe it or not, it can be proven that the universe is actually enlarging & that there is an actual expansion of the universe. I do not doubt this! I also as you no doubt do, believe that ''The heavens declare the glory of God'' if the heavens are expanding, then as they declare the glory of God I see this as a type of the true Church & as they are expanding so is the Church & if the space in the universe is expanding, how much more the things of the spirit of God. The spiritual heavens - celestial spheres - are now enlarging & making room for the expansion of God's Church, which is in actual fact in God's people, His dwelling place, His abiding places, 'His Temple, which you are.' The understanding, the revelation, the realisation, is even now expanding & is preparing to make room for a dynamic move into the sphere of a higher & larger divine understanding & action. SPIRITUAL SPACE MUST MAKE ROOM FOR THE EXPANSION OF GOD & HIS BODY. The action of this coming will be seven times greater than the book of Acts. Which God 4
  • 5. ''Christ The Antidote Regarding Death'' willing I will show why you at another time! By the way read the book of Acts & get a full picture of the what actually happened. One thing was that the whole of Asia heard the word. It was simply amazing! ''But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the Book until the time of the end. [Then] many shall run to and fro and search anxiously [through the Book], and knowledge [of God's purposes as revealed by His prophets] shall be increased and become great.'' Dan 12:4. Amp. And knowledge shall be increased & become GREAT. ''And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.'' Obadiah 1:21 KJV. These saviours of course are the extension of Christ Himself, His corporate self, the man-child. ''And say to him, Thus says the Lord of hosts: [You, Joshua] behold (look at, keep in sight, watch) the Man [the Messiah] whose name is the Branch, for He shall grow up in His place and He shall build the [true] temple of the Lord''. Zech. 6:12. Amp. Once again this Man, this corporate man whose name is the Branch - Christ in His complete fullness - will be used to build the true complete temple of the Lord as found in the 21st Chapter of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. This temple of course is comprised of people who have been completely transformed into shining lights which are the finished work of the Branch. Can you rejoice with me? Isa. 4:2; Jer. 23:5; 33:15; Zech. 3:8. ''But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.'' 2Cor 3:18. ASV. Here we have it again from glory to glory, are changed into what we behold, or what we have faith for. For clarification what we are beholding in the mirror is the glory we are in & believing for. It is our choice if we wish to go to a higher glory than where we are at the moment. ''The eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eye is sound, your entire body will be full of light. 23 But if your eye is unsound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the very light in you [your conscience] is darkened, how dense is that darkness!'' Mat 6:22-23. Amp. But Wonderful, Wonderful News! ''in the wake of a background of gloom, judgement, and terror], a feast of wines on the lees--of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. 7 And He will destroy on this mountain the covering of the face that is cast over the heads of all peoples [in mourning], and the VEIL [of profound wretchedness] that is WOVEN and spread over all nations. 8 He will swallow up death [in victory; He will abolish death forever]. And the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces; and the reproach of His people He will take away from off all the earth; for the Lord has spoken it.'' Isa 25:6b-8. Amp. In the wake of a background of gloom, judgement, & terror. Isaiah is speaking of this lower, hopeless, earthly realm. We also read that the the veil has been woven & spread over all the nations, this means that every warp & woof of religiosity is affected. The word woven carries a strong message, when something is woven well, it is almost impossible to tear, it is there to stay. To remove this veil it will take only the power & anointing of the spirit of our Father on the deeply applied word to unravel it. This veil is also one of profound wretchedness. When the scripture tells us that death will be swallowed up, the greater part of the meaning is that God will so open our spiritual understanding & we will be so sensitive & imbued with the reality of who we really are that the old or former understanding of our mistaken identity or the old perception of things will be swallowed up even as light swallows up darkness. Why? Because darkness does not really exist it is simply the absence of light, we will eventually come into the full reality that Jesus had when he told us that I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE. Another way that we could say this concerning ourselves, is. I, the soul; - the mind will & emotions 5
  • 6. ''Christ The Antidote Regarding Death'' - & my Christ self are one, or inseparable. Now of course it is one thing to say it but in that day by the spirit of God that we fully realise this, it will be the full enactment of Rom 8: 21-23. NOW THE TRUE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, THAT THEY NEVER WERE SEPARATED. The Two Are Already One! I envisage that in the future, that as the anointed manifest sons or man-child begin to impart this news to the hungry there will be such an enlargement of divine realisation that there will be a move of the Spirit of our Father such has never been seen which reminds me of the story found in 1Samuel. ''And Jonathan said to his young armour-bearer, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the Lord will work for us. For there is nothing to prevent the Lord from saving by many or by few.'' 1Sa 14:6 Amp. When we read of the word ALL mentioned so many times, we realise that it will be ''every man in his own order'' or time, rank or turn. When the above enactment begins among the uncircumcised, believe me, it will not be by few. The next verse I believe also to be prophetic. ''Moreover, the Hebrews who were with the Philistines before that time, who went up with them into the camp from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.'' 1Sa 14:21. Amp. Notice that we are told that there were some Hebrews who had gone back on their true faith & had joined with the Philistines - enemies of God's people - for whatever reason, became convicted when they saw the power of God & the faith of the Israelites & repented & returned to even greater than what they had experienced before they left. What wonderful things we can expect. Which leads me to our next comment. It Is The Goodness Of God That Leads Us To Repentance! Because of past experiences of the goodness of God I wish to share the following, which is not a very popular subject because of obvious reasons. This is not so much written to those in a high place in God but to those who are intent on attaining. ''And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons, "My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are rebuked by Him; 6 for whom the Lord loves He chastens, and He scourges every son whom He receives." 7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons, for what son is he whom the father does not chasten? 8 But if you are without chastisement, of which all are partakers, then you are bastards and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh who corrected us, and we gave them reverence. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For truly they chastened us for a few days according to their own pleasure, but He for our profit, that we might be partakers of His holiness.'' Heb 12:5-10.MKJV. What we have just read is a vital part of God's goodness that we increase in our understanding of His love. Condemnation will never cause anyone to truly repent. Conviction never brings condemnation. What is our true motive for walking the way of Tabernacles. I think that the motive of Moses in the next verse would describe what should be the true motive of our allegiance. God's method in what He perceives as goodness, may sometimes seem to some as madness. ''And Moses said, I beseech You, show me Your glory.'' Exo 33:18. Amp. Moses had seen so much & yet what He mostly desired above all else was, 'Father show me your Glory'. Yet let us reconsider his life, note what he went through right from when he killed the Egyptian, & then even before that he came from the highest house - his adoptive family - in the land where he was raised as a Prince, yet when he saw the injustice that was happening to his true people, Israel, he gave up all; & our wonderful God eventually brought him to the place where he could say from a changed heart Lord above all else show me your Glory. But it did not come easy, as he endured chastening that he might mature into a high place. Do you think that our God who is no respecter of persons thinks any less of you. NO, NO, NO. The 6
  • 7. ''Christ The Antidote Regarding Death'' chastening's of God are to bring us to a place that above all we wish our Father to show us His glory – even within ourselves - for this is the motive that I believe He is looking for in all of us. One thing further, this happened to a man who did not yet see the true meaning of the Holy Place let alone the Most Holy Place as we see it today, but was totally under the LAW. Where is this Glory today? ''The God who said, "Out of darkness the light shall shine!" is the same God who made his light shine in our hearts, to bring us the knowledge of God's glory shining in the face of Christ.'' 2Co 4:6. GNB. This light that shines in our hearts within, is meant to bring us to understand that God's glory is shining in the face of Christ. Who is where? Within us. Thank God for his chastening's! HALLELUJAH. What a hope! ''which we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil;'' Heb 6:19. ASV. How thankful we are for this calling. By the way it is the second veil that is the important one for those who are yet aspiring to Tabernacles. There was also a veil at the entrance to the Holy Place. Some are inclined to confuse the two! ''Behind the second curtain was a second section called the Most Holy Place,'' Heb 9:3 ESV. ''And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of holies;'' Heb 9:3. ASV. The First And Last Man On The Sixth Day! On the sixth day God created, a man, the first Adam who was - even as we are – the Christ within being his true identity. Gen1:27. Who is Christ? He is the son of the Father & is Spirit. He was told to be fruitful & multiply, so Christ begat spiritual replicas of Himself. We must remember that this book is full of metaphors & so there is more involved than the words that we read. In reading this Chapter very closely I notice that the creating of man was left till last at the END of the sixth day, which to me is significant. How long between Gen 1:26 & the time that He made man a living soul we can only guess, - but it certainly was not a 24 hour day,- but in that time the Adam, who was both - male & female – in spirit form & was the very manifestation of Christ was in constant spiritual procreation & that is when I believe that we came into existence. ''for we are His workmanship, created - not recreated - in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God before prepared that we should walk in them.'' Eph 2:10. 1:11.Amp. This I believe is when we were created spirit beings, in Gods Image - for we were the image of Christ- God had a great intricate plan ahead ''for who has known His mind?'' Answer; ''for He has revealed them unto us by His Spirit.'' Which is what we are sharing now. Then once again on the sixth day or the sixth thousandth year 2Pet 3:8 Christ again creates another man - which is now well in process - who is actually the same identity as the first spiritual man, Christ, who is also the last Adam, 1Cor15:45. This is also the corporate many membered Christ, & are the manifested sons of God or the man-child. Now the difference between these & the man in Gen Chapter 1 is that these have been through a process of realisation & have now come to the place where they will manifest even as divine beings, yes, even as our forerunner, Jesus Christ, but this time with a glorified body that has overcome death. This body will not be a trumped up carnal body for '' flesh & blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.'' I would also bring to your attention that the culmination of the revealing, or the manifestation once again occurs at the END of the sixth day. Which brings me to conclude this paragraph with; Is He not 'the first & the last?' This is all showing that the planning of God is incredible & to perfection. ''After two days - A.D.- he will revive us; on the third day - A.D.- he will raise us up, that we may live before him.'' Hos 6:2. ESV. The 2nd day here is from A.D. & is exactly the same as the overall 6th day as is the 3rd day - A.D.- also equivalent to the overall 7th day. To Him who alone does great wonders; for His mercy endures forever. Psa 136:4. Hear what one of our great forerunners George Hawtin has to say on this very theme. “The answer to the eternal question, What is man that thou art mindful of him is twofold because the question is twofold. What is man? The answer by example is Jesus Christ highly exalted, His name being above every name. He is the FIRST MAN & THE LAST MAN. He is the beginning of the creation of 7
  • 8. ''Christ The Antidote Regarding Death'' God & He is the end of the creation of God.......What He is, we are becoming to which the scripture clearly attests saying, 'As he is, so are we in this world,' ” 1Jn 4:17. End quote. How To Exit This Lower Hopeless Earthly Realm! Now to return to our original thought & that is the reality of life. The answer to our original question of hopelessness at the beginning of this article is Jesus Christ who is the exact opposite to what this lower, carnal existence would tell us. In the true Christ realm it is full of love, light, hope, power, eternal bliss, but the greatest of all of these is LOVE. That which may seem almost impossible to many now, is absolutely possible for you & with your dedication & resolution you can realise that you are already a part of this other realm that you cannot see with the natural eye but is more that discernible through & by the eye of faith. You see we are told the whole earth is about to awaken from its sleep of death as the sons of God begin to move without inhibition under the Headship of our Lord Jesus Christ. ''Every knee will bow & every tongue will confess'' Isa 25:43. This incidentally is rarely taught among Church circles & to them it seems an impossible dream. But that which was taught by the Hebrew prophets of old; this world-wide ministry of Christ is even now beginning to come to pass. ''When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto myself.'' This of course has a twofold meaning. The first is when He was lifted up on the cross; the second is that when He is lifted up in our hearts & we are separated from our earthy mundane way of thinking & we realise that 'He was not from this world but His glory is in another' Jn 3;13, & in truth that is who & where we are. For is not His identity our true identity? These Texts I Found To Be Of Great Encouragement, Thus The Sharing! ''Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 6 Then shall the lame man leap like a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing for joy. For waters shall break forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert. 7 And the burning sand and the mirage shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water; in the haunt of jackals, where they lay resting, shall be grass with reeds and rushes. 8 And a highway shall be there, and a way; and it shall be called the Holy Way. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for the redeemed; the wayfaring men, yes, the simple ones and fools, shall not err in it and lose their way. 9 No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it; they shall not be found there. But the redeemed shall walk on it. 10 And the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with singing, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.'' Isa 35:5-10. Amp. ''Ho! Escape to Zion, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon! 8 For thus said the Lord of hosts, after [His] glory had sent me [His messenger] to the nations who plundered you--for he who touches you touches the apple or pupil of His eye: 9 Behold, I will swing my hand over them and they shall become plunder for those who served them. Then you shall know (recognise and understand) that the Lord of hosts has sent me [His messenger]. 10 Sing and rejoice, O Daughter of Zion; for behold, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you, says the Lord. 11 And many nations shall join themselves to the Lord in that day and shall be My people. And I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know (recognise and understand) that the Lord of hosts has sent me [His messenger] to you.'' Zech 2:7-11. Amp. Mic. 4:2.
