The world is in a very peculiar time period where we see several nations attempting to infringe upon the freedoms and liberty of their citizens. A global cabal takeover of several nations at one time is attempting to oppress the Godly and God fearing children of Yahweh. Who would do that? We are living in the administration of the completion of the proper time. We are close to the day of being released by ransom. We know the satan’s plan and how it will take place in the future after the harpazo. But should we allow it to take place now, while we are still on the earth? What do the prophets say? There are great prophets speaking today. Some prophets had their prophecies recorded several years ago and we are only now understanding the words of the Lord which they spoke. It’s sad to see that in this chaotic time that the church is a split church. We have some people who are leaders in the church taking dirty money from foreign men who are intending to destroy the church. There are still people advocating the murder of infants. There are plenty of people in the church who are in denial as to the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit. It may feel as if we are in desperate times, but desperate times are what is required to loose the captives; those that are blinded by the pseudo angel of light. Jesus throws out an invitation, and with help from Heaven we share that invitation. We have the testimony of Jesus which is the Spirit of Prophecy and we are nearing the day of redemption. This is why our spiritual enemies have caused the world to become more chaotic.
After the Exodus, Moses was setting up seventy men from among the elders to help him, as per Yahweh’s direction. The people at this time were also complaining because they wanted to eat meat. Something interesting happened; it seemed that two men who were counted as part of the seventy but who were not standing with the seventy, were prophesying in the camp. Moses had a wonderful response.
Numbers 11:24 G2532 And G1831 Moses came forth, G* G2532 and G2980 he spoke G4314 to G3588 the G2992 people G3588 the G4487 sayings G2962 of the lord . G2532 And G4863 he brought together G1440 seventy G435 men G575 from G3588 the G4245 elders G3588 of the G2992 people, G2532 and G2476 he stood G1473 them G2945 round about G3588 the G4633 tent.
25 G2532 And G2597 the lord came down G2962 G1722 in G3507 a cloud, G2532 and G2980 he spoke G4314 to G1473 him, G2532 and G3867.1 he lifted G575 from G3588 the G4151 spirit, G3588 of the one G1909 upon G1473 him, G2532 and G2007 he placed it G1909 upon G3588 the G1440 seventy G435 men G3588 of the G4245 elders. G5613 And as G1161 G1879 [2rested G4151 1spirit] G1909 upon G1473 them, G2532 that G4395 they prophesied, G2532 and G3765 no longer G4369 proceeded.
Yahweh came down in a cloud and spoke to them. Yahweh came alongside and separated away from the spirit on Moses and laid it upon the seventy men instead. As the Holy Spirit rested on them they prophesied and “added no more.” While this was going on, two other men outside of that meeting were in the camp.
Numbers 11:26 G2532 And G2641 were left behind G1417 two G435 men G1722 in G3588 the G3925 camp; G3686 the name G3588 of the G1520 one G* was Eldad, G2532 and G3686 the name G3588 of the G1208 second G* was Medad; G2532 and G1879 [3rested G1909 4upon G1473 5them G3588 1the G4151 2spirit], G2532 and G3778 these G1510.7.6 were G3588 of the G2608.1 ones delineated, G2532 and G3756 came not G2064 G4314 to G3588 the G4633 tent; G2532 and G4395 they prophesied G1722 in G3588 the G3925 camp.
The Holy Spirit laid upon Eldad and Medad too. They were recorded with the seventy but didn’t go to the tent of meeting so they ended up prophesying in the camp. A young man noticed this and told Moses.
Numbers 11:27 G2532 And G4370 [2ran up G3588 G3495 1a young man] G518 to report G* to Moses, G2532 and G2036 said, G3004 saying, G* Eldad G2532 and G* Medad G4395 are prophesying G1722 in G3588 the G3925 camp.
28 G2532 And G611 answering G* Joshua G3588 the G3588 son of G* Nun, G3588 the G3936 one standing beside G* Moses, G3588 G1588 his chosen one, G1473 G2036 said, G2962 O my master G1473 G* Moses, G2967 restrain G1473 them!
Joshua thought this was out of order. These men were not following the rules. They were not with the others at the tent of meeting. Joshua obviously thought this was unacceptable but Moses did not.
Numbers 11:29 G2532 And G2036 Moses said G* G1473 to him, G3361 Are G2206 you zealous G1473 G1473 for me? G2532 and G5100 O how G1325 it would be given G3956 all G3588 the G2992 people G2962 of the lord G4396 were prophets, G3752 whenever G1325 the lord should put G2962 G3588 G4151 his spirit G1473 G1909 upon G1473 them.
“Not you vie with me and anyone give all the people Yahweh prophets whenever give Yahweh his Spirit on them.”
Moses wanted to see more prophets. Moses scolds Joshua by telling Joshua not to contend with him, but that it would be great if all the people of Yahweh were prophets and that Yahweh would put his Spirit on them. Was Joshua jealous or angry over two men prophesying? There are plenty of Joshua’s today, who want to limit the Holy Spirit and who want to decide when and where the Holy Spirit will come upon people. Perhaps if there were more prophets among the people they would have been better off. As we know, while they were in the wilderness the people named and worshipped the cherubim on the ark. The people had a hard time following Yahweh.
From the time that Moses wrote Genesis 3:15 people knew of a coming Messiah. The righteous people and the prophets warned the citizenry to live correctly so that they would not see hades. The righteous who die go to Abraham’s bay, a separate place, until the day of redemption. The unrighteous go to Hades. However the Messiah came and took back the keys to death and hades, releasing the captives in Abraham’s bay and bringing them to paradise.
As John was recording the prophecies he was speaking to someone who told John not to worship him because he is a fellow servant and of “thy” brethren the prophets. We know this man to be Enoch, as John was on the mount of transfiguration and saw Elijah and Moses. He didn’t recognize Enoch and called him a messenger. John may not have thought that this being was an “angel" but used the word “messenger”. Enoch is a fellow servant and he is of the brethren, a prophet.
Revelation 22:9 G2532 And G3004 he says G1473 to me, G3708 See that you do G3361 not! G4889 [3your fellow-servant G1473 G1063 1for G1510.2.1 2I am], G2532 and G3588 G80 of your brethren G1473 G3588 the G4396 prophets, G2532 and G3588 of the ones G5083 giving heed to G3588 the G3056 words G3588 G975 of this scroll; G3778 G3588 to G2316 God G4352 do obeisance!
https://musingsofawinsomeheart.blogspot.com/2018/09/outside-new-city-entering-through-front.html
Both Enoch and Elijah will give heed to the words of the book because both will come back upon the earth when the called out are called up. Enoch tells John to worship the Elohim. Then he says not to set a seal on the prophecy.
Revelation 22:10 G2532 And G3004 he says G1473 to me, G3361 You should not G4972 set a seal upon G3588 the G3056 words G3588 of the G4394 prophecy G3588 G975 of this scroll, G3778 G3754 for G3588 the G2540 time G1451 is near. G1510.2.3
Why is John told not to seal the prophecy? Because the time is near. The Genesis 3:15 prophecy has been around for nearly six thousand years. The Revelation prophecy has been around for nearly two thousand years. If we back up a few chapters we see the prophecy of the Bride and the marriage supper of the Lamb. Then Enoch gives John an amazing insight.
Revelation 19:10 G2532 And G4098 I fell G1715 before G3588 G4228 his feet G1473 G4352 to do obeisance to G1473 him. G2532 And G3004 he says G1473 to me, G3708 See G3361 that you do not! G4889 [2fellow-servant G1473 1I am your], G1510.2.1 G2532 and G3588 G80 of your brethren G1473 G3588 G2192 having G3588 the G3141 testimony G3588 G* of Jesus; G3588 to G2316 God G4352 do obeisance! G3588 For the G1063 G3141 testimony G3588 G* of Jesus G1510.2.3 is G3588 the G4151 spirit G3588 of the G4394 prophecy.
Enoch told John not to worship him as he is a fellow servant and a brother having the testimony of Jesus, but to instead worship the Elohim. The testimony, witness, or evidence, moratoria, is something that the prophets spoke concerning future events. The prophets gave a report or record. The report or record of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy. The entire Bible testifies of Jesus. The scrolls say that the Messiah is coming, be prepared. To have the spirit of prophecy is to have the testimony of Jesus the Messiah. In other words, whoever has the witness, the evidence, the record, or the report of Jesus the Messiah, has the Spirit of Prophecy. No one need predict the weather (as many so called prophets do) because the prophet is to give the testimony of Jesus, that is the Spirit of Prophecy. The Prophet can read the Bible and testify of Jesus. The words are already given to us from John.
With this in mind, let’s look at Paul’s writings with regards to who we are and what we have in this dispensation. If we arrange Paul’s sentences differently then we may see something that we haven’t recognized before with regards to the mystery.
Ephesians 1:3 G2128 Blessed be G3588 the G2316 God G2532 and G3962 father G3588 G2962 of our Lord G1473 G* Jesus G5547 Christ, G3588 the one G2127 having blessed G1473 us G1722 with G3956 every G2129 [2blessing G4152 1spiritual] G1722 in G3588 the G2032 heavenlies G1722 in G5547 Christ;
We have already been blessed with the blessings of the Spirit in heaven by the Messiah, Jesus. We are in the high praise of His glory in Christ because when we heard we believed.
Ephesians 1:12 G1519 for G3588 G1510.1 us to be G1473 G1519 in G1868 high praise G3588 G1391 of his glory, G1473 G3588 of the ones G4276 hoping earlier G1722 in G3588 the G5547 Christ.
13 G1722 In G3739 whom G2532 also G1473 you, G191 having heard G3588 the G3056 word G3588 of the G225 truth G3588 the G2098 good news G3588 G4991 of your deliverance -- G1473 G1722 in G3739 whom G2532 also G4100 having trusted, G4972 you were sealed G3588 by the G4151 spirit G3588 of the G1860 promise G3588 in the G39 holy;
14 G3739 who G1510.2.3 is G728 the deposit G3588 G2817 of our inheritance, G1473 G1519 in G629 a release by ransom G3588 of the G4047 procurement G1519 in G1868 high praise G3588 G1391 of his glory. G1473
We hope in the Messiah and we have heard the word of truth which is the good news of our deliverance, the testimony of Jesus is the Sprit of prophecy. We believe in Jesus as Messiah and we trust Him, therefore we are sealed with the Holy Spirit. We have the Spirit of Prophecy. Now that we are stamped or marked with the Holy Spirit, we are holy and are adopted children. The seal of the Holy Spirit is our deposit, it shows that we have an inheritance when we are released by ransom, when we are acquired. When are we taken back? The day of redemption. When is the day of redemption? The day that Jesus calls from the clouds, the harpazo. That procurement will be the high praise of His glory. Why does he redeem us by the ransom of His blood?
Ephesians 1:4 G2531 as G1586 he chose G1473 us G1722 in G1473 him G4253 before G2602 the founding G2889 of the world, G1510.1 for us to be G1473 G39 holy G2532 and G299 unblemished G2714 before G1473 him G1722 in G26 love.
5 G4309 Having predefined G1473 us G1519 for G5206 adoption G1223 through G* Jesus G5547 Christ G1519 to G1473 himself, G2596 according to G3588 the G2107 good-pleasure G3588 G2307 of his will, G1473
6 G1519 in G1868 high praise G1391 of the glory G3588 G5484 of his favor, G1722 in G3739 which G5487 he showed favor G1473 on us G1722 by G3588 the one G25 being loved;
He chose us when we chose Him. He chose the path to salvation. He foreordained that whoever would believe on Him when they heard about Him would be adopted by Him. Through us as children, the glory of his favor honors us with blessings of love for the administration of the fullness of times.
Ephesians 1:10 G1519 for G3622 administration G3588 of the G4138 fullness G3588 of the G2540 times, G346 recapitulating G3588 G3956 all things G1722 in G3588 the G5547 Christ, G3588 the things G1722 in G3588 the G3772 heavens, G2532 and G3588 the things G1722 on G3588 the G1093 earth, G1722 in G1473 himself.
The “administration” is management or governance of the time period. The time period before Jesus came to earth was different than the time period after he came. The rules of humanity’s redemption changed. We live in the administration of the completion of the proper time. At the end of this present administration Jesus recapitulates, summarizes, or gathers up all things in Christ. All the people in heaven and in earth are gathered in Him at the completion of the proper time.
Ephesians 1:11 G1722 In G3739 whom G2532 also G2820 we were chosen by lot, G4309 being predefined G2596 according to G4286 the intention G3588 of the one G3588 [2all things G3956 G1754 1operating] G2596 according to G3588 the G1012 counsel G3588 G2307 of his will, G1473
He only gathers those that are chosen by lot. This takes some explanation as Paul said previously in verse 4 that we were chosen in Him. Jesus casts the lots, or rolls the dice. We then decide if we will follow Him. He gets what he gets; meaning he gets whoever chooses Him. When Jesus throws out the invitation he invites everyone, but not everyone R.S.V.P.’s. He predetermined the pathway to salvation. The path starts at believing in him. The path then is open for those who believe, and those on the path are like a public showing or the show bread. The word prothesis, translated intention, means “setting forth”, like the “show bread” in the temple. We are set out for all to see, downwards from heaven to earth. We are on the table of show bread, and we work or accomplish all things with help downwards from heaven to earth in His deliberate wisdom and His desire. This was His plan from the beginning.
The translators had a hard time with Paul’s ideas in this verse. Paul is saying that Jesus throws out the invite, and those who accept are on a predetermined path for redemption. Jesus chose the path of redemption, that is, by His blood we are released by ransom. We are the “shown forth”. The beings in the heavens see us. They can literally see Jesus’ called out church. Relating the invitation to others, we have help from heaven down to earth. This is His intentional wisdom and desire. The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy. Do you see it? The testimony of Jesus offers salvation and release by ransom on the day of the completion of times.
Paul was given this revelation regarding the administration of the completion of the proper time. Paul received the uncovering, apokalupsis. Paul says he already wrote about it for the Ephesians and they understood it.
Ephesians 3:2 G1489 if indeed G191 you heard G3588 the G3622 administration G3588 of the G5484 favor G3588 G2316 of God G3588 G1325 having been given G1473 to me G1519 towards G1473 you,
3 G3754 that G2596 by G602 revelation G1107 he made known G1473 to me G3588 the G3466 mystery G2531 (as G4270 I wrote beforehand G1722 a little, G3641
4 G4314 to G3739 which G1410 you are able G314 reading G3539 to comprehend G3588 G4907 my understanding G1473 G1722 in G3588 the G3466 mystery G3588 of the G5547 Christ),
5 G3739 which G1722 unto G2087 other G1074 generations G3756 was not G1107 made known G3588 to the G5207 sons G3588 G444 of men, G5613 as G3568 now G601 it was revealed G3588 to G39 [2holy G652 3apostles G1473 1his] G2532 and G4396 prophets G1722 in G4151 spirit;
6 G1510.1 [3to be G3588 1for the G1484 2nations] G4789 joint-heirs, G2532 and G4954 joint-bodies, G2532 and G4830 joint-partners, G3588 G1860 of his promise G1473 G1722 in G3588 the G5547 Christ G1223 through G3588 the G2098 good news,
Paul’s uncovering revealed that in other generations this mystery was not made know to men, or to the prophets, or to the angels. However, at this time, after Jesus came, and after Paul met Jesus on the road to Damascus (where Paul was going to kill the Christians in the Damascus Community), Paul was given the testimony of Jesus by Jesus Himself. Paul spent fourteen years studying with the Essenes in the desert, now, it is time to reveal this mystery. Now we are told that the nations are participants, united in one body, partakers with His announcement in the Messiah by means of the good news. The gospel brings us into the family of the Messiah. The Spirit of Prophecy is the testimony of Jesus. Jesus tells his disciples that they are blessed for seeing and hearing the things that they have.
Mat 13:16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
Mat 13:17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
Many prophets and righteous people desired to see the day when the Messiah would walk the earth. Because they knew something would happen, something would change. That change is our release by ransom through His blood.
Ephesians 1:7 G1722 by G3739 whom G2192 we have G3588 the G629 release by ransom G1223 through G3588 G129 his blood, G1473 G3588 the G859 release G3588 G3900 of transgressions, G2596 according to G3588 the G4149 riches G3588 G5484 of his favor, G1473
8 G3739 which G4052 he abounded G1519 in G1473 us G1722 in G3956 all G4678 wisdom G2532 and G5428 intelligence,
We are released from our sins because of His blood. This was His plan. And at the completion of the proper time, he will ransom us. When are we ransomed? When Yahweh commands.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 G3754 For G1473 [3himself G3588 1the G2962 2Lord] G1722 in G2752 a word of command G1722 by G5456 the voice G743 of an archangel, G2532 and G1722 with G4536 a trumpet G2316 of God, G2597 shall descend G575 from G3772 heaven, G2532 and G3588 the G3498 dead G1722 in G5547 Christ G450 shall rise up G4412 first.
17 G1899 Thereupon G1473 we G3588 the G2198 living, G3588 the ones G4035 remaining, G260 together G4862 with G1473 them G726 shall be seized G1722 in G3507 clouds, G1519 for G529 meeting G3588 the G2962 Lord G1519 in G109 the air, G2532 and G3779 thus G3842 at all times G4862 with G2962 the Lord G1510.8.4 we shall be.
18 G5620 So then G3870 comfort G240 one another G1722 by G3588 G3056 these words! G3778
This is the day that Jesus redeems his church, his Body, his called out. The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy. Anyone who speaks the testimony of Jesus is speaking prophecy because Jesus is coming for his bride. Peter has some insight for us.
1 Peter 1:7 G2443 that G3588 the G1383 proving G1473 [3of yours G3588 1of the G4102 2belief] G4183 (much G5093 more esteemed than G5553 gold G3588 that G622 perishes) G1223 [3through G4442 4fire G1161 1even G1381 2being tried], G2147 should be found G1519 in G1868 high praise, G2532 and G1391 glory, G2532 and G5092 honor, G1722 in G602 revelation G* of Jesus G5547 Christ.
The proving or testing of our faith is more valuable than gold that has been purified by fire. Once tested we are then found in approval, renown, or honor, in the revealing of Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 1:8 G3739 Whom G3756 not G1492 having seen, G25 you love; G1519 in G3739 whom G737 now G3361 not G3708 looking on, G4100 but believing, G1161 G21 you exult G5479 with joy G412 unspeakable, G2532 and G1392 glorifying;
Even though we have not seen Jesus in person like Peter and the disciples, we love him. Why? Because of their testimony. We believe the disciples. We are exceedingly joyful and cheerful, and we do not even know the words to explain our glorying in Jesus.
1 Peter 1:9 G2865 carrying on G3588 the G5056 end G3588 of the G4102 belief G1473 of yours -- G4991 deliverance G5590 of your souls.
We take care to the fulfillment of faith to the deliverance of our soul life. We trust that His shed blood redeems us.
1 Peter 1:10 G4012 Concerning G3739 which G4991 deliverance G1567 [2sought G2532 3and G1830 4searched out G4396 1 the prophets], G3588 the ones G4012 [2concerning G3588 3the G1519 5towards G1473 6you G5484 4favor G4395 1prophesying];
The prophets asked, sought after, and searched diligently, for the understanding of deliverance, the day of redemption. They prophesied about us looking for the time that the Spirit of Christ would be made visible.
1 Peter 1:11 G2045 searching G1519 in G5100 what, G2228 or G4169 of what kind G2540 of time G1213 [3was manifest G3588 G1722 4in G1473 5them G4151 1spirit G5547 2of Christ], G4303 testifying beforehand G3588 the G1519 [2in G5547 3Christ G3804 1sufferings], G2532 and G3588 the G3326 [2after G3778 3these things G1391 1glories];
The word dēloō means “to make visible” or “to make plain”. The prophets saw a time when the Holy Spirit would be visible in us. The prophets promarturomai, predicted in advance of the suffering of the Messiah and the glory in the middle of his suffering. This belief in the words of the prophets brought salvation to the people who lived before Jesus even came to earth. They trusted that a Messiah would come.
1 Peter 1:12 G3739 to whom G601 it was revealed G3754 that, G3756 it was not G1438 to themselves, G1473 but to us G1161 G1247 they were serving up G1473 those things, G3739 which G3568 now G312 were announced G1473 to you G1223 by G3588 the ones G2097 announcing good news G1473 to you G1722 in G4151 [2spirit G39 1holy] G649 sent G575 from G3772 heaven, G1519 in G3739 which G1937 [2desire G32 1angels] G3879 to lean over to see.
It was uncovered to the prophets, the ones serving us, that they would not have the Spirit of Christ visible in them. It was uncovered to those prophets that the Spirit of Christ would be visible in us. This is our administration, the administration of the completion of the proper time. The prophets are announcing the good news that the Holy Spirit has been sent to us from heaven. And this is what the angels set their hearts to look intently on. The old administration prophets and the angels wanted to see the time when the Holy Spirit would indwell us and be visible. The Holy Spirit indwelling us may not be visible to human eyes, but it is visible to heaven. The Holy Spirit in us is visible to the angels, the demons, the devil, the satan, Yahweh, the Elohim, and all the other sons of God, fallen or not, and the entire innumerable host of heaven. Coming back to Paul’s revealings.
Ephesians 1:17 G2443 that G3588 the G2316 God G3588 G2962 of our Lord G1473 G* Jesus G5547 Christ, G3588 the G3962 father G3588 G1391 of glory, G1325 should give G1473 [3to you G4151 1spirit G4678 2of wisdom] G2532 and G602 revelation G1722 in G1922 full knowledge G1473 of him,
What do we have? The Spirit of Wisdom and uncovering in the recognition of Him. The Spirit of Wisdom is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is given to us so that the Elohim can be uncovered to us. Notice what Solomon says.
Wis 7:24 For wisdom is more moving than any motion: she passeth and goeth through all things by reason of her pureness.
Wis 7:25 For she is the breath of the power of God, and a pure influence flowing from the glory of the Almighty: therefore can no defiled thing fall into her.
Wis 7:26 For she is the brightness of the everlasting light, the unspotted mirror of the power of God, and the image of his goodness.
Wis 7:27 And being but one, she can do all things: and remaining in herself, she maketh all things new: and in all ages entering into holy souls, she maketh them friends of God, and prophets.
Wis 7:28 For God loveth none but him that dwelleth with wisdom.
God loves those who dwell with wisdom and that is for those in the old covenant in administrations prior to Jesus. In our time, in our administration, Sophia dwells in us, we don’t dwell with her, she dwells in us. She makes us friends of God. She makes us prophets.
Ephesians 1:18 G5461 giving light G3588 of the G3788 eyes G3588 G1271 of your thought, G1473 G1519 for G3588 G1492 you to know G1473 G5100 what G1510.2.3 is G3588 the G1680 hope G3588 G2821 of his calling, G1473 G2532 and G5100 what G3588 the G4149 riches G3588 of the G1391 glory G3588 G2817 of his inheritance G1473 G1722 is in G3588 the G39 holy ones,
The Holy Spirit illuminates our eyes and intellect so that we know what the expectation of His invitation is and the abundant splendor of the inheritance in His Saints. He has an inheritance in us. We are His inheritance.
Ephesians 1:19 G2532 and G5100 what G3588 the G5235 exceeding G3174 greatness G3588 G1411 of his power G1473 G1519 in G1473 us G3588 the ones G4100 believing, G2596 according to G3588 the G1753 energy G3588 of the G2904 might G3588 G2479 of his strength,
The Holy Spirit also helps us understand the surpassing magnitude of His force, dunamis, in the ones who have faith and trust the downward energy of dominion strength. The Holy Spirit has a surpassing magnitude of power in the believer. The believer is the person who trusts in the downward energy of the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit’s might and strength. this should make us jump for joy.
Ephesians 1:20 G3739 which G1754 he operated G1722 in G3588 the G5547 Christ, G1453 having raised G1473 him G1537 from G3588 the G3498 dead, G2532 and G2523 seated him G1722 at G1188 his right hand G1473 G1722 in G3588 the G2032 heavenlies,
The Holy Spirit’s action was in Christ the Messiah when Jesus was raised from the dead and then sat down at the right hand of the father in the heavens. This same Holy Spirit, whose power raised Jesus, is in us. That same Holy Spirit dwells in the believer. This should make us shout “Hallelujah”!
Ephesians 1:21 G5231 above G3956 every G746 sovereignty G2532 and G1849 authority, G2532 and G1411 power G2532 and G2963 lordship, G2532 and G3956 every G3686 name G3687 named, G3756 not G3440 only G1722 in G3588 G165 this eon, G3778 G235 but G2532 also G1722 in G3588 the one G3195 about to be.
The Holy Spirit raised Jesus far above all exercised authorities, all the forces of heaven, all dominions, and all names named. Not only in this age but in the coming age. Everything was made by Jesus for Jesus and through Jesus. Just because some of his free-will created beings mutinied doesn’t mean that he is below them; he is above all, he always has been, and he always will be.
Ephesians 1:22 G2532 And G3956 all things G5293 he submitted G5259 under G3588 G4228 his feet, G1473 G2532 and G1473 gave him to be G1325 G2776 head G5228 over G3956 all things G3588 to the G1577 assembly,
23 G3748 which G1510.2.3 is G3588 G4983 his body, G1473 G3588 the G4138 fullness G3588 of the G3956 [2all things G1722 3in G3956 4all G4137 1one fulfilling].
Because of the Holy Spirit raising Jesus from the dead everything and everyone is in subjection to Jesus, and is under His feet. Jesus is now the head over all the assembly, the ekklēsia. The ekklēsia is His body; we are His body. We are the complete completion, the all in all. This was Jesus’ plan from the beginning. His blood would be our ransom and we will be released when he ransoms us.
It is a shame to realize how many reject the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit makes us the complete completion. The Holy Spirit makes us the all in all. This was Jesus’ plan.
Ephesians 1:9 G1107 having made known G1473 to us G3588 the G3466 mystery G3588 G2307 of his will, G1473 G2596 according to G3588 G2107 his good-pleasure, G1473 G3739 which G4388 he purposed G1722 in G1473 him,
The Holy Spirit declares the mystery that was designed beforehand in Him. The entire mystery was searched for by the prophets of old. They saw that it would be our generation that would have the Holy Spirit dwelling in us. This is something that the angels wanted to see also. The point is for our enlightenment and the enlightenment of all the other sons of God.
Ephesians 3:9 G2532 and G5461 to enlighten G3956 all G5100 as to what is G3588 the G2842 fellowship G3588 of the G3466 mystery G3588 of the G613 thing being concealed G575 from G3588 the G165 eons G1722 by G3588 G2316 God, G3588 to the one G3588 [2all things G3956 G2936 1having created] G1223 through G* Jesus G5547 Christ,
The fellowship or the participation in the mystery was hidden away in the ages in the Elohim, the one who created all by means of Jesus Christ. This plan was in place for a long time. It is not that humans were super special as compared to the other spiritual sons of God, it was that this race would be the race that would have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them. After Jesus was raised up, the mystery was made known to the sons of God.
Ephesians 3:10 G2443 that G1107 should be made known G3568 now G3588 to the G746 sovereignties G2532 and G3588 to the G1849 authorities G1722 among G3588 the G2032 heavenlies G1223 through G3588 the G1577 assembly, G3588 the G4182 multifarious G4678 wisdom G3588 G2316 of God,
The mystery of the Holy Spirit in us was now declared to the archē, the chiefs, and the exousia, the authorities in the heavens by means of the ekklēsia, the assembly, the called out. We are the chiefs’ and authorities’ enlightenment of the many various wisdom of the Elohim. We are the plan for the demise of the fallen sons of God. The depth of manifold insight of the Elohim was unfathomable to the fallen sons of God. They did not know or conceive of the plan to give power and authority to humans who have the Holy Spirit within. They thought they had taken over Yahweh’s creation. They thought that they would rule over Yahweh’s creation as they had in the past. The fallen sons of God believed Drakōn and Satanas who did not know that humans would be their judges. The innumerable host of heaven watched and strained to see the Holy Spirit made visible in humans.
The Holy Spirit residing in us gives us power to overcome the fallen sons of God, the demons, the prince of this world, and Drakōn. They did not know that humans could overcome their tyranny. They did not know that humans could overcome death and hades. They did not know that humans would judge them. They did not know that humans would be able to share the good news of the testimony of the Messiah, both before and after he came to earth. They did not know that by our faith, our trust in Him, we are marked for the day of release by ransom. They did not know that on a specific day, the Lord would call, and the dead believers in the Messiah and the living believers in the Messiah would meet Him in the air and then prepare to take back Jesus’ creation. Wouldn’t it be great if we subdued the fallen sons of God now, while we are on the earth?
Ephesians 3:11 G2596 according to G4286 the intention G3588 of the G165 eons, G3739 which G4160 he made G1722 in G5547 Christ G* Jesus G3588 G2962 our Lord; G1473
We are the downward showbread, we are seen from heaven, we are set forth and the principalities and powers all see the Holy Spirit in us. This mystery was hidden from the ages and was manufactured or constructed in our Messiah, Christ Jesus our Yahweh. The idea of us being the show bread means that we are set apart for Yahweh. We are His. We are the offering set apart for Him and we are visible.
Ephesians 3:12 G1722 in G3739 whom G2192 we have G3588 G3954 an open manner G2532 and G3588 G4318 access G1722 in G4006 reliance G1223 through G3588 the G4102 belief G1473 of his
In Yahweh we have freedom to approach in confidence by means of our faith. We can approach Him because we are already set apart for Him. We believe in his sacrifice on the cross. His blood releases us from being held captive for our sin. On the day of our redemption the tribulation on the earth will start. Drakōn and Satanas will have about three and one half years before they will be cast out of heaven to the earth. The second three and one half years they will attempt to revolt against the Elohim. Peter reminds us of what the mockers say.
2 Peter 3:1 G3778 This G2235 already, G27 beloved, G1208 a second G1473 [3to you G1125 2I write G1992 1letter], G1722 in G3739 which G1326 I awaken G1473 your G1722 [3in G5280 4recollection G3588 G1506 1honest G1271 2consideration],
2 G3403 to remember G3588 the G4280 before described G4487 sayings G5259 by G3588 the G39 holy G4396 prophets, G2532 and G3588 of the G3588 [7the G652 8apostles G1473 6of us G1785 1commandment G3588 2of the G2962 3Lord G2532 4and G4990 5deliverer].
3 G3778 This G4412 first G1097 knowing, G3754 that G2064 [2will come G1909 3at G2078 4 the last G3588 5of the G2250 6days G1703 1mockers], G2596 [2according to G3588 G2398 3their own G1473 G1939 4lusts G4198 1going],
4 G2532 and G3004 saying, G4226 Where G1510.2.3 is G3588 the G1860 promise G3588 G3952 of his arrival? G1473 G575 [2from G3739 3of which time G1063 1For] G3588 the G3962 fathers G2837 went to sleep, G3956 all things G3779 thus G1265 continue G575 from G746 the beginning G2937 of creation.
Peter says to remember what the prophets told us regarding the commandment of Yahweh our savior. In the last days mockers and deceivers start to taunt believers. This happens in the final days. They will make fun of the assembly and want to know where is the announcement of his parousia, his coming. They will chide the church, saying that everyone dies and and nothing has changed since creation. This is true that everyone dies once, and where they go after that is determined by whether they believed on Jesus as Lord or not. Remember, this is in the last days. They are assuming that people won’t die. There will be a generation of people who will be caught up with the saints who passed away at the time that Jesus gives the command and meets us all in the air.
If we understand that the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy, then we recognize that every believer has the testimony of Jesus. Therefore every believer can share the testimony of Jesus as it is prophecy. We believe in Jesus even though we have not seen Jesus as the disciples did. We trust in the cross, as we trust the testimony of the disciples. Notice what
John says in the beginning of his uncovering of the future.
Revelation 1:1 G602 The revelation G* of Jesus G5547 Christ, G3739 which G1325 [2gave G1473 3to him G3588 G2316 1God], G1166 to show G3588 to G1401 his bondmen G3739 what G1163 must G1096 take place G1722 quickly. G5034 G2532 And G4591 he signified G649 having sent G1223 by G3588 G32 his angel G1473 G3588 to G1401 his bondman G1473 G* John,
The uncovering of Jesus Christ is given to him by the Elohim for his servants. Now we are to know the inevitable that will come to be shortly. This was made known to John by a messenger. We know that the messenger was not an angel but a fellow servant, of “thy” brethren, John’s fellow prophets. Enoch was sent to John, but we do not find out who he is until the end of the uncovering.
Revelation 1:2 G3739 who G3140 testified G3588 the G3056 word G3588 G2316 of God, G2532 and G3588 the G3141 testimony G* of Jesus G5547 Christ, G3745 as much as G5037 indeed G1492 he saw.
John, the servant of Christ, heard from the messenger who testified the logos of the Elohim and the testimony of Jesus Christ. John wrote as much as he saw and knew.
Revelation 1:3 G3107 Blessed is G3588 the one G314 reading, G2532 and G3588 the ones G191 hearing G3588 the G3056 words G3588 of the G4394 prophecy, G2532 and G5083 heeding G3588 the things G1722 [2in G1473 3it G1125 1being written]; G3588 for the G1063 G2540 time G1451 is near.
Anyone who reads and hears the words of this written prophecy and watches over it, guards it, or observes it, is happy because the season is near. The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy. Prophecy is something that we all have. We, the called out, all have the Spirit of Prophecy because we have the testimony of Jesus. The Holy Spirit dwells in us making us friends of God. We are prophets. The Holy Spirit reveals the Elohim to us. With the Holy Spirit in us we are visible to those in the heavens. They see us. We have the same power that raised Jesus up from the dead. We have power within us; the fallen sons of God know that we can overcome them. Moses snapped at Joshua because he wanted the Holy Spirit to be on all the people and make them prophets. To human eyes the church doesn’t look particularly special, but to spiritual eyes the church has more power than the fallen sons of God. They are scared of us. This is the multifaceted wisdom of the Elohim, and we need to recognize the power we have to subdue evil on the earth today.
