BEHOLD, I SHOW YOU A MYSTERY
We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (1 Corinthians 15:51-52)
And, not only ourselves, but the entire created Cosmos will be resurrected and refashioned:
“Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.” (Romans 8:21)
THE BONDAGE OF CORRUPTION
MOST OF US DO NOT REALIZE JUST HOW DEEP THE PROBLEM GOES OR HOW INTIMATELY WE ARE CONNECTED TO THE ONGOING PROCESS OF CREATION, NOR OUR COMPLICITY IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE WORLD AROUND US.
The End Product for Mankind and for all of creation will be deliverance from the bondage of corruption into the Glorious Liberty of the Children of God:
THE END PRODUCT
The creature itself, which is to say, the entire created Cosmos, also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption…
What will that look like?
THE GLORIOUS LIBERTY OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD
CLAIRVOYANCE - CLEAR VISION - TO SEE THINGS CLEARLY, WITHOUT HINDRANCE, WITHOUT OBSTRUCTION OF ANY KIND, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WITHOUT SUBTERFUGE…
Time/Space and the Laws of Physics are meant to be the loosest of frameworks, if at all applicable:
A CONVENIENT FRAMEWORK
TECHNOLOGY, TIME/SPACE AND THE LAWS OF PHYSICS, BIRTH/DEATH ARE ELEMENTS OF A CONVENIENT FRAMEWORK WITHIN WHICH TO LEARN CERTAIN LESSONS AND TO GROW BEYOND…
How then shall we live?
The change that the Apostle Paul speaks of here may very well be like waking up from a dream
The thing is, we don't have to wait until then to ‘Wake Up’. We can wake up even now, if we so desire…
GOD GAVE NOAH THE RAINBOW SIGN - NO MORE WATER, THE FIRE NEXT TIME
I, like many, I would imagine, first came upon this phrase as the dedication to an incredible and eye opening book by the author, James Baldwin, called, “The Fire Next Time”.
Go in Peace!
Thank you so much for all that you post.
