John wrote the Book of Love also known as the Revelation of Jesus Christ, or known to most as “ the book of Revelation(s)”. This book completes the New Testament and provides us with the Revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ as John states in verse one of chapter one. From that point on, every word must be read in that context or I believe you will be missing the point of this book for this critical point in history.
As Dr. Vincent Speckhart thoroughly covered in his book “ “Quantum and Non-Quantum States of The Lord Jesus Christ” (available at www.unity153.net ), the Divine Intent of Love preceded all of creation. The book of Revelation speaks of the consummation of the marriage of Jesus Christ with His Bride, the Body of Christ. In the Book of Genesis, man is created in His Image and then separated into two. In the Book of Revelation, two become one, a return to complete communion.
The Body of Christ is made up of the Remnant, those who are included in the Book of Life. These are the ones who are called to be kings and priests in the coming age. These are the ones who are closest to the Lamb surrounding His Throne in Heaven. As shown in a previous writing, there are three groups or divisions of people who are depicted by their relative position to the Throne. In the Tabernacle in the wilderness, it was known as the Most Holy Place, the Holy Place, and the Outer Court.
Exodus 26:33 And thou shalt hang up the vail under the taches, that thou mayest bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony: and the vail shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy. KJV
The Hebrew word qodesh translated “Holy” means:
-
apartness, holiness, sacredness, separateness
-
apartness, sacredness, holiness
-
of God
-
of places
-
of things
-
-
set-apartness, separateness
-
It comes from the word qadash meaning: to consecrate, sanctify, prepare, dedicate, be hallowed, be holy, be sanctified, be separated, to be pure.
In the Old Testament, the prophets spoke “Thus saith THE LORD”. In Revelation, “saith THE SPIRIT” is the source of the words spoken to the ekklēsia , Called Out Ones, or the Remnant. The Greek word translated as “church” is ekklēsia and it is made up of two words combining to mean “called out ones”. Today’s meaning of church has been dramatically altered to include just about everybody. Have you been called out?
Those who have been truly called up into the Spiritual realm are those who will be included to rule and reign as His Body, to become one with Him has His Bride. His Bride will be without spot or wrinkle, in other words all the members will be perfected in Love, fully mature, and pure. They will have proceeded from the Outer Court of salvation, through the Holy Place where the candlestick provides the light of revelation and sanctification. They will not stop there however. They will enter into the Most Holy Place where Jesus is truly glorified and they will take their place in the Book of Life with Him where He will break the seals to reveal the fullness of Life or zōē. These are the living epistles who will be seen in white apparel, cleansed and purified. They will operate in the Seven Spirits as they operate in the ministry of priesthood serving all mankind.
Just as Jesus and FATHER are one, so will the members of His Body be One with Jesus and FATHER. Come up hither and ascend to Love where the purity of HIS Divine Intent resides. This is where the greatest ministry of giving is found.
Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
“According to your work” is the determining factor of your reward or placement in one of the three divisions. Will you partake, watch, or be in wonder? What occupies your time, focus, and resources? Each one of us will receive our reward accordingly.
:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.
As you see, the Spirit and the bride speak as One. The consummation and expression of Love is now complete.
