Peace in Christ.
We are members of Christ’s body…of His flesh and of His bones. Our mortal bodies are the members of Christ.
Eph 5:30 KJV
(30) For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
(31) For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
(32) This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
We are not to take our mortal bodies....the members of Christ...and make them members of a harlot (a church body of people who are centered around preaching things...their handwritings of ordinances/dogmas for money's sake). We then become ONE FLESH with them in their troubles and destruction.
1Co 6:15-20 KJV
(15) Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
(16) What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
(17) But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
This is the true "fornication" we must flee from. We sin against our own mortal body when we go to their "churches" as we become "one flesh" with them in their destruction as the wrath of God comes upon the children of disobedience.
(18) Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
(19) What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
(20) For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
We must come out from among them and be SEPARATE....no longer being "one" with them. This is the will of God...even our SANCTIFICATION...that we abstain from "fornication"...sitting together with them.... being one body with them.
1Th 4:2-4 KJV
(2) For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
(3) For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
(4) That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
By keeping the “daily” sacrifice of our Lord (always bearing about the dying of the Lord Jesus in our mortal body), then the life of Him shall also be made manifest (SHINE) in our mortal body.
2Co 4:10-11 KJV
(10) Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
(11) For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
This manifestation of His life in our mortal flesh is the revealing of the “Son of man” to the world.
But, the “Son of man”…that manifestation of His life in the mortal flesh…is currently being cutoff from appearing in this world.
The Son of man “goes”….that is, withdraws as if sinking out of sight.
Mat 26:24-25 KJV
(24) The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.
Many are following in the footsteps of Judas. They are the ones “speaking” …aka preaching…to us.
(25) Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
Because of this no flesh…no mortal flesh…is being saved….and deep spiritual darkness is upon this earth as His people are not shining His light to the world as they themselves are in darkness.
We…His people…are the “heavens” that have no light of Christ shining to this dark world as His life is not being made manifest in our mortal flesh so that the people of the outside world may see.
The “earth”…the people on the outside…then are in deep darkness because of this situation.
The earth is without form….without the form of His righteousness….and void…void of the knowledge of the glory of God as His people do not have the light. They cannot see the form of Christ as the light of Christ is not shining to them. They are void of the knowledge of the glory of God .
Jer 4:22-23
(22) For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
(23) I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was (became) without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
The manifestation of the life of Jesus in our mortal flesh (the revealing of the Son of man) is currently being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Mat 26:45-50 KJV
(45) Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
That is why we must “ARISE” from them who are dead in their trespasses and sins as they are at hand in our churches. We must arise and be going out from among them. Let us free from "fornication"...being ONE with them in the body. That is our sanctification.
(46) Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
For a “GREAT MULITUDE” is following in the footsteps of Judas. They come with “swords”…causing divisions among us. They come with “staves”…their “timber”…their dead stock of the church handwritings of ordinances to rule us with.
(47) And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
They come to take away the life of Jesus from being made manifest in our mortal flesh with a feigned kiss. They flatter us with their feigned, great swelling words of emptiness.
(48) Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
They come as friends and want us to REJOICE with them. “Hail” = rejoice.
(49) And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
(50) And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
They do not come to us with a “holy kiss” but with a feigned kiss: with good words and fair speeches.
Rom 16:16-18 KJV
(16) Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.
They come with “swords”….causing divisions. They come with their handwritings of ordinances (their "staves") rather then the doctrine of Christ.
(17) Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
(18) For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
They do not preach that Jesus Christ IS COMING NOW in the flesh….in our mortal flesh. This is glaringly absent in their preaching to us. They are not preaching that His life is to be made manifest in our mortal flesh….and so is His glory to be also….so that the outside world sitting in deep darkness may see His glory light shine from us.
They are preaching “another jesus” with another spirit…..the spirit/breath of the antichrist (instead of the true Christ.) Their “jesus” delays his coming and is not coming now in our mortal flesh (according to their “understanding.”) They are the host of the prince that SHALL COME rather than the Prince of Life who IS COMING NOW in our mortal flesh. They are deceivers and the "jesus" that they are preaching is from the spirit of the antichrist and not of the true Christ.
2Jn 1:7-11 KJV
(7) For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
(8) Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
(9) Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
They come and want us to rejoice with them (“hail, master”). Let us not receive them into our house.
Neither bid them “God speed”…that is, to REJOICE. This is what Judas did when he came to take Jesus away to be crucified.
(10) If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed (REJOICE):
(11) For he that biddeth him God speed (REJOICE) is partaker of his evil deeds.
We must come forth from the “waters of Judah/Judas”….from the multitudes who are following in the footsteps of Judas. They call themselves of the holy city and stay themselves upon the God of Israel. They make mention of Him but not in truth nor in righteousness.
Isa 48:1-2 KJV
(1) Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
(2) For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name.
We must “arise” and leave them so that the life of Jesus can be made manifest (the revealing of the Son of man.)
The coming…that is, the PRESENCE…of the Son of man SHINES as lightning coming out of the east (the rising of light in our hearts) and shines unto the “west”…the area where the sun had set.
Those who are in deep darkness (the “west”) shall then see His light shining in us. We shall then shine as the sun in the kingdom/government of the Father.
Mat 24:24-27 KJV
(24) For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
(25) Behold, I have told you before.
(26) Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
(27) For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
We are members of Christ’s body…of His flesh and of His bones. Our mortal bodies are the members of Christ.
Eph 5:30 KJV
(30) For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
(31) For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
