The Beautiful Garment
In a divine sense 'Hope' is define as joyous expectation. Glory is defined as that splendour, brightness, magnificence, excellence, preeminence, dignity, grace, and majesty which Christ exhibited in his reseurrection and sebsequent exaltation to the sit of power. In Christ own words it refers to the disciples of Christ being translated to be as angels. It is to sit with God in his throne. It is receive a new immortal body upon the arrival of Christ in glory. It is that we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is. Every disciple that has this hope in him purifies himself in obedience to the apostolic doctrine. Hope is the essense of faith. It is faith's infrastructure. Hope is extreme jouous anticipation of the salvation of our soul. Faith is the joyous receipt of our salvation. From a ministerial perspective, hope is the the extreme joyous anticipation of the salvation of soul through the preaching of the apostolic gospel. Faith is joyous receipt of these souls, in the body of Christ. The most astonishing and marvelous secret kept hidden from angels, and not revealed to the prophets; but made manifest in the preaching of the apostles, is the expectation we have, to sit with Christ in his throne, in a resurrected body of, immortal splendor, magnificence and majesty. Christ wrought this marvelous blessing when He raised himself out of death and ascended to his place of eternal power and dominion.
The Lord Jesus Christ ordained before ever the earth was formed, to accomplish this for his saints through the redemptive blood of his painful and glorious cross. Our inheritance is the rich glory of his inheritance. In this godly expectation we stand and have access into the riches of this glory because of, Jesus' own personal confidence and expectation. Jesus of Galilee gave this expectation to the apostles when after his passion he allowed the apostle to touch and handle his immortal and glorified body. They heard, saw and handled eternal life bodily. They saw and handled the literal body of God in his stupendous body of glory. What a marvelous blessing Christ has given us as a gift through faith in his blood. Only we must fight the good fight of faith and lay hold on eternal life. We must press toward the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. We must earnestly contend and remain faithful to the apostles doctrine delivered to us; for surely we shall reap if we hold fast to sound apostolic doctrine and do not faint.(Rom 5:2) (Eph 1:18) ,(Col 1:27)
The apostolic doctrine is the treasure, which Christ gave the apostles. The apostolic doctrine, is that interpretation and meaning of scripture, which the apostles received of Christ. The Apostle's Gospel, is gospel, which the apostles understood, to be that which Christ taught them. The doctrine of Christ and the apostolic doctrine, is one and the same; and when one finds it and understand, that which he has found, he rejoices. On the basis of this doctrine, we will hear the Lord say: “Well done, thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord”. As soon as the voice of this salutation is sounded in our ears, we leap for joy. As soon as the voice of this salutation is sounded in our ears, we hear a voice that says: ‘Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. As soon as the voice of this salutation is sounded in our ears, we rejoice and leap for joy, for great is our reward in heaven. The worship of the son of God, as Jesus Christ, the only living and true God, makes us split heaven and earth with joy. We earnestly contending for the faith, for Christ, who is our joy shall descend from heaven, with a trumpet sound of Joy; the dead in Christ shall rise first, and we that still alive at the coming of the Lord shall be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. Weeping may endure for a moment, but joy comes in the morning. We might weep, lament and be sorrowful, while the world rejoices, but at the appearing of Christ with his heavenly host, shall turn our sorrow into joy.
When we see Jesus, what a day of rejoicing that will be. Seeing our Lord Jesus Christ, erupt from the heavens, will make the saints cry aloud in joy. If, we have been filled with his spirit, before his coming; his coming will now literally over whelm us, and swallow us up in immortality. The shall we know him even as we are known. Literally, he will make us full of joy at his presence. The fire of His consuming presence, will change us, from mortal to immortality. Literally, he shall make us full of joy with his countenance. The in filling of the Holy Ghost, is , right now, the filling of his the joyous power of his resurrection. The in filling, of the Holy Ghost, which we experience right now in our mortal bodies, is God’s treasure in earthen vessels. The in filling, of the holy Ghost, right now is the earnest of our inheritance. It is a pledge of the immortality, we shall experience at the coming of Christ, in glory. The “earnest” is that which is given as a pledge or down payment that the full amount will be paid at a later time. (Mat 13:44; 25:21; Luk 1:14, 44; 2:10; 6:23; 24:52; John 15:11; 16:20, 22, 24; 17:13; Act 2:28; 13:52) .
All of creation is with persistent anxious expectation, yearning for the coming of Christ, when the Sons of God, enter upon the fullness of their inheritance. For, when the saints are changed from mortal to immortality: all the none human, (Satan, demons and the wicked are excluded) created things that have life, will participate in the glorious release from decay. Christ, has sealed those, to whom he has given the gift of the Holy Ghost; especially, those that continue steadfast in the apostles doctrine. Especially, those who still have, in themselves the quickening fruit, of the spirit. Especially, those whom the Lord, has taken back his spirit. Some the risk, of having the holy ghost taken from them. I pray God, that you are now one of those. God has sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. He has set his mark upon those that are his. Upon those that are his, Christ, protect from Satan and gives security from the wrath to come. Christ, confirms and authenticates his people with the spirit of sanctification. Satan, confirms and authenticates his people, with the beastly mark, of sin and ungodliness. The infilling, of the Holy Ghost, is evidenced, by a life striving for perfection in the son of God. The in filling, of the Holy Ghost, is evidenced, not only by glossalalia, but by the fruitful work of apostolic godliness. Many can babble; but only the Holy Ghost, filled can live free from sin. The Holy Ghost, and the life of power that emanates from him is God’s down payment, until the translation of the saints. (2Co 1:22; 5:5; 7:7; 8:16; Eph 1:14; Phi 1:20; Heb 2:1).
Only the apostles know the truth, of the word of God. God only speaks to us through the doctrine, which Christ gave the Holy Apostles. No other ministry, except the Apostle's Gospel, has the truth of God word. All others, are frauds. The death, resurrection and coming of Christ in glory, is tied together, like a well played divine symphony. Christ, died and rose again to be seen coming in the clouds of heaven. Christ, shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels, to reward every man according to which is being manifested in his life. Some shall not taste of death; for they will be alive to see Christ, coming in his kingdom. We who follow Christ, without spot or wrinkle, shall see Christ, sit in the throne of his glory. (Mat 16:27, 28; 19:28).
Christ, the son of God, shall come as quick as the lightning that comes out of the east, and shines to the west. The sign of the Son of God, shall appear in the heaven; and all the tribes of the earth mourn, as see him coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Christ will come at a time like it was in Noah’s days. They knew not until the flood came, and took them all away. Christ, is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Christ, shall return, in such an hour as we think not. We must be ready; for the Son of God, comes at an hour when we think not. We must be ready and be watching, for we know neither the day nor the hour when the Son of God shall appear. If you are ashamed, of Christ, and the doctrine he gave the apostles; the Son of God will also be ashamed, of when he returns in glory and power. Do not be ashamed of the apostle’s doctrine, in this adulterous and sinful generation; rather, watch and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of God. (Mat 24:27, 30, 37, 39, 44; 25:13, 31; Mar 10:33; 13:26, 34; 14:62; Luke 21:36).
Those that confess the doctrine, that Christ gave, the apostles, are those, which the Son of God, shall confess before the angels of God. Those that blaspheme the Holy Ghost, shall not be forgiven. For as the lightning, that lightens out of the one part under heaven, shines unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of God, be in his return. And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of God. It will like Noah’s time, when the Son of God is revealed. (Luk 12:8, 10, 40; 17:22, 24, 26, 30).
It is important, that when Christ returns, he find you steadfast in the faith of the apostles. It is important, that as the heaven open, and the angels of God ascend and descend upon the Son of God, that you be found of him, working out the salvation of your soul with fear and trembling. It is important, that, the same man that ascended up to heaven, finds you earnestly contending for the faith, delivered to the saints. For this same Jesus, that ascended up into heaven shall also descend and come down again from heaven. Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so the Son of God, by way of the cross, ascended up out of hell, into the heavens. The hour is come, that the Son of God should be glorified. Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. The heavens are open, and the Son of God, is standing on the right hand of God. (Luke 18:8, 31; John 1:51; 3:13, 14)
Christ Jesus, died and rose again; therefore, the saints that have fallen asleep, God will God bring with him. The saints, which are alive at the coming of the Lord shall not go before, the saints, which have fallen asleep. Christ, himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. The day of the Lord comes as a thief in the ; For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. Let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. (1Th 4:14-17; 5:1-6).
God shall recompense tribulation to them that afflict the body of Christ; for the Lord Jesus, shall be revealed from heaven, with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These, shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power. These, shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, when he shall come to be glorified in his saints. These, shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, when he comes to be admired in all them that believe the truth. The heavens and the earth, are preserved and reserved for fire on the day of judgment; and for the time of punishment for the sons of perdition. 2Th 1:6-10).
The word of God is sure and steadfast. The Lord, does not lie. He is not slack concerning his promise. The Lord is longsuffering. The Lord, is not willing that any should perish. The Lord, is willing that all should come to repentance. The day of the Lord, will come as a thief in the nigh. The heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat. The earth, and the works that are therein shall be burned up. All things shall be dissolve. The heavens will be on fire and the elements shall melt with fervent heat. We, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness. Therefore, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. Enoch prophesied that, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his saints. The Lord comes to execute judgment, to convince ungodly sinners, of their deeds, hard speeches, which they have spoken against him. The Lord shall send forth his angels to gather men from the four corners of earth. His angels shall separate the righteous from the unjust. The unjust shall be cast in a sea of burning with sulfur; but the just shall enter upon their eternal inheritance. (2Pe 3:7-14; Jud 1:14-15).
And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. . And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. Our greatest joy, will be, when we split heaven and earth with joy; at the appearing of Jesus Christ, coming on the clouds of heaven. Christ, shall appear, in the sky, with the saints and a host of angels,at his glorious appearance; and we shall brighten the whole earth with exceedingly, great joy. What, a glorious time that will be; when we see the king face to face.(Joh 5:27; 6:62; 8:28; 12:23; 13:31; Act 7:56; Rev 1:13; 14:14).
