Metamorphosis – Our Transformation Part Six A New Heaven And A New Earth 2 Pet 3:8-14 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. (KJV) When we speak of “our transformation”, it is necessary that we understand how much more reaching this transformation has been intended by our Father than just a personal, individual change. It is true that it must start with us, as individuals who have entered into a personal salvation and are now walking onward into the progressive evolvement of sons of God in the making. But, it will most certainly not end with us, floating around in the air as angelic butterflies meandering about through the eternities of God. There is a great consequence of our personal and individual maturation and transformation in the Christ Life, which will become a catalyst to everything around us, a universal upheaval and rearrangement that will mirror the same cataclysmic reformation that has transpired in the spirit, soul and body of the first fruit sons. For this reason, we walk in the spirit with a great sense of responsibility and soberness, knowing the time is at hand and we are pregnant with a New Day that speaks of greater things than what have thus far appeared. Everything around us is affected by our inner life and nothing outside of us is exempt from that effect. Before we condemn this dark, miserable world with our thoughts of righteous indignation toward such an ungodly atmosphere, it might behoove us to look inward, inside our own hearts, for the truth of the matter is that the outer world is only a mirror image of the condition and state of the heart, mind and spirit of mankind, including us that have been regenerated by the life of Christ Jesus. In fact, the only hope afforded to the outer world to become enlightened and restored is the transformation of the sons of God and the subsequent chain reaction such a change will initiate in the heavens and the earth. Billions of people are living their lives in small, inconsequential cocoons with only a bare glimmer of a symbiotic relationship with the outside world. They go to work, try to do their job so they can get paid at the end of the week, abide by the laws of the land, trying not to kill anyone or do themselves severe bodily harm, eking out some time to spend with their little circle of family and friends, avoid somehow the ravages of disease and sickness, lend a helping hand to others now and then, endeavoring to have a semi-fulfilled little life, and then grow to be old and collect their retirement and social security check, see their grandchildren and great-grandchildren, then hopefully die a quiet, fast death. Most people today would count this as a pretty good life, self satisfying and about all anyone can expect out of this cold world. However, we who have come to the knowledge of the saving and regenerating life of Jesus Christ, the Savior and King of the universe, those of us that have truly passed from our Self Life into the Christ Life, for us this is a mundane and pitiful expectation to live such a short sighted existence. The whole universe is relational! Everything in us and outside of us is connected by lifelines of God’s Divine Intent and Purpose! Nothing in this existence lives and dies by itself, for everything is held together and consists by the entwining presence of God Almighty. He holds it all together in Himself, things seen and things unseen, things that are physical and things that are material, organic and inorganic, high things and low things, terrestrial things and celestial things, natural things and spiritual things, He embodies it all and everything is complete in Him. YOU MATTER! You are not insignificant and alone on this great planet or in this life, whether you are conscious of it or not, you have an effect and you are affected by everything in and around you. Recently, I related to a congregation of folks how a good friend of mine used to greet me when he called me on the phone. He lived in Texas and we live in Tennessee, and when I would answer his call, the first words out of his mouth were, “How am I doing in Tennessee?” The first couple of times this happened, I let it fly over my head and just continued our conversation, but then I started to listen to what that statement was saying. “How am I doing there?”, and I started to understand the profound meaning behind that innocent little greeting. First, he was relating to the divine principle of God’s inclusive love for all His creation, the Oneness that He abides in, expressed so wondrously by Jesus in His great prayer to His Father. John 17:11 11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. (KJV) John 17:21-23 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me (KJV) Secondly, my friend realized the secret to perfection, which is not praying 24 hours a day in your closet, nor is it fasting for 40 days on a mountain top, but it is a very simple but selfless matter, “that they may be made perfect in one”, which means that I need you more than you need me, and I am only as good and complete in Christ as I am good and complete in you. If Christ is in you, and Christ is in me, then I must minister to the Christ in you in order for the Christ in me to become complete. Could this be what Paul was saying to the “children” he was ministering to? Gal 4:19 19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, (KJV) Could it possibly be that Paul was referring to a pure principle of being a minister of God’s life, a principle that reveals the true reason for being “ministers of the sanctuary?” Perhaps Paul had come to realize that although Christ was greatly formed in his own heart, Paul was not allowed to be satisfied with his own richness in Christ. Instead, he travails like a woman in birth pains for the forming of Christ in the little ones that was in his care. In other words, my friend in Texas was telling me that HE was only as good in Texas as WE were in Tennessee! Oh my, what a life changing expression that is, I am only as blessed and safe and well in Christ as the rest of the creation of God, and if there is any sickness, or death, or despair, or darkness, or hopelessness anywhere else outside of me, then I am commissioned by the principle of Oneness in God to groan and travail until all of my parts are made whole. Wow! No one wants to go there! It is so much easier to stay in the partitioned rooms of our own blessed existence than to identify with such a lost and undone creation. This is one of the most radical revelations available to the sons of God, and not many will be prepared to take such a step, including yours truly. But, if we can just get it written down and then let it wallow around in our being, then allow the Light of Lights to illuminate our darkened and selfish being, perhaps we can come to terms with this magnificent principle in the days ahead. It is one thing to wear the title of “sons of God” and other titles that we adorn ourselves with so readily and easily, such as “kings and priests”, “Melchizedek Priesthood”, “Light Bearers”, “The Lights Of The World”, and so on. It is quite another thing to actually BE those entitlements, to demonstrate the virtues of each title and to bring to this present world the full expression of such endearments. I hate to be the one to inform us, but we MUST become all that we have declared we are. If you are the representative of Jesus Christ to this darkened place, then I would think you would at least be aware of what He wants to express through you and have you represent. In our present state and condition, about the only thing we can change is the belief systems of mankind. We have become excellent salesmen for God! Boy, do we have the gift of gab! We can talk about God for hours at a time, preach ‘till the cows come home, reveal the hidden and ancient secrets of the mysteries of the universe, expound on the Hebrew and the Greek texts and show our dexterity with the Greek tenses and differentiate between the masculine and the feminine, venturing even into the definite and the not so definite articles for good measure. If we can’t dazzle you with our intelligence, we will baffle you with our profundity, wearing you down with the sheer weight of our proclamations, until your mind gives way to our mind, and you agree with our theological viewpoint and discard your old theological viewpoint, which will only last until someone else comes along with an even more weightier viewpoint, and then they can take away from you our old viewpoint and replace that with their new viewpoint, and so the wheel of mind control goes round and round, and where she stops nobody knows, but it sure won’t be on God! But, we won’t mind, because we will have already gone on to other minds to overcome with our superior viewpoints on God. Such has been the inconsequential ministry of the Church for the last 2,000 years! Nations waging war on other nations, societies imposing their will on other societies, just to implant their theological understanding into the minds of the conquered, until everyone lines up on the same ideological side of the room. The history of Christianity has been inundated with exactly this kind of war-like persuasion concerning Christ, forcing the idea of Christianity into the minds of poor, ignorant peoples the world over, which is the Harlot Church System’s idea of conversion, which is not a conversion to Christ, but is a conversion to the IDEA of Christ! Subsequently, the world has been on a fast track to destruction and the so-called conversions of the church system has not changed the world one iota. No wonder that God is wanting to wake us up out of our slumber and cause us to have a fresh vision of the purpose of our TRANSFORMATION. Truth is, the world will never change until a people arise from the dust of the earth and start to bring that change from an inner place in their being, a place that is made up of the throne and dominion of God and His Christ. There is a chosen generation to do such a thing. It is a generation that has been held back in the Father until a time appointed and this predestined, preordained, foreknown people will bring to this world a nuclear implosion that will cause the foundations of death to crumble. The death I am speaking about here is not a hole in the ground, but THE DEATH that has reigned in the hearts of darkened creation, which will have no authority over the chosen ones that have died to themselves and have come alive in God. The Dead In Christ will be the First Fruits raised into THE LIFE, which is JESUS THE CHRIST, the pattern Son and the First of Many sons. Our transformation originates from this Original Source, which is in the hearts of every man in seed form, but as our transformation continues to take place, the Christ in us will cry out to the Christ in each man, and deep will cry to the deep, spirit will cry to spirit, until our resurrection experience becomes the experience of every man. At the voice of Him that has been raised from the dead, even though they are dead in their trespasses and sins, when that voice reverberates throughout the heavens and the earth, then each one will rise to that sound and God, who is no respecter of persons, will reveal Himself to all that are alive and remain in their carnal state and condition. It is vital for us to be able to surrender to the death of our own self centered life in order for us to truly be made whole in God. I am not doing very well. Please read this with the understanding of the spirit. I have cancer. I also have Parkinson’s Disease. I also have Alzheimer’s. I have hardening of the arteries. I lost my job. I lost my child. I was raped. I am in prison. I am mentally and physically wore out. I am manic depressive. I am naked. I am hungry. I am all these things, because I am what you are. However, I am also blessed. I am well. I am whole. I am at peace. I am healed. I am restored. I am righteous. I am full of joy unspeakable. YOU are all these things, because YOU are what I AM! WE are crucified with Christ, nevertheless, WE live, yet not US but Christ lives in US, and the life that WE now live, WE no longer live according to OUR own faith, but now WE live by the faith of the Son of God. I am weak, but WE are strong, you and me and Christ. I can do nothing, but WE can do all things, you and me and Christ. WE are made perfect in OUR oneness, you and me and our Lord. I can’t change a diaper, but WE can change the world! You and me and Christ. Get it? Oneness. This is the sacred secret of our metamorphosis. It is not a secret of changing bad thoughts with good thoughts, behavior modifications or moral choices, although all of these things are beneficial to the individual, they will fall short of having any effect on the world at large. Now, this is where we must be spiritually minded, having an understanding of how the SPIRIT works and how it operates. We know what makes our cars run, or how babies are formed, or how to till a garden, but we must start to understand the WAYS OF THE LORD. His ways are not the ways of the natural world. It is true that the natural world is a type and shadow of how His world operates, but we must now be prepared to go into places that angels fear to tread therein. Angels and all other soulless creatures would know nothing about where we must trod, because they have no idea what it is to DIE! The experience of spiritual Death is uniquely ours, and the experience of spiritual Resurrection is uniquely ours, as no other creature but man has been given that experience. Animals die physically, plants die physically, but man is the only creature that God has created that will experience these two dimensions, spiritual death and spiritual life. Spiritually speaking, this is a great honor and is a gift from our Heavenly Father to us to be such a unique and rare creation in Him. In the Spirit, death is not the end of anything, but only an interim from one dimension and form of life into a greater dimension and form of life. It is a graduation process that can only end in a greater life. It is NEVER a demotion of life. When God spoke to Adam, “in the day that you eat thereof you shall surely die” it was not a curse of an endless state of death and deterioration, but rather a promise to be raised into a greater life! This is how the spirit operates and this is the law of the spirit of life, that death brings a greater life. Spiritually, throughout the ages of this Plan of God, when death takes place, the object that experiences death is always encased in a temporary form which it “lives” in until it’s time of release takes place. This is an ongoing cycle of progression for all generations, from one form into another form, until we arrive at our final dwelling, which is the New Man. To be sure that you know where I am coming from in this progressive changing of forms, I am not speaking of the popular belief called “Reincarnation”, which is a soulish attempt to once again humanize the spiritual elements of God’s ways. We only have ONE physical body, and we will not lay this physical body down and then come back again into another physical body, in a redundant attempt to become our finalized form. The TRUE DEATH that I am speaking of, is not laying down 7 physical bodies of flesh and blood in order to become perfected. The forms that I am speaking of are spiritual and not of this flesh and blood body, they are inward and are structured as boxes within boxes, as shown to us in the structure of the Tabernacle and the Temple. As the glory of God starts to move from the most innermost box, or room, of our being, it starts to incorporate each subsequent room or form into ONE FORM. Spiritually, this is the progression of becoming InChristed. He is in us now, but soon He will be in us and through us, we in Him, Him in us, taking on His Oneness. Now, it is important we understand the Oneness of which the scripture speaks. “That you would make them one (HEN) even as we are one (HEN)” This is not a singular oneness, but it denotes a wholeness of oneness, a completeness made up of a union of many parts, but viewed as a whole. Our physical body is a grand example of this oneness. If you see me walking toward you in a room, you don’t see me as a head, arms, legs, torso, ears, eyes, nose, etc., although all of those parts are there, you rather see me as one thing, Bob. You don’t say to me, “Hello to the many parts of the body of Bob” but you say, “Hi Bob!” Now, you are not ignoring all of my parts, it is just that you don’t see me as a bunch of parts, you see me as ONE, the corporate me. There is much more to me, however, than you can see or know, for I am made up of over 100 trillion “Bob’s”, individual cells that are put together into such a wondrous expression of oneness, they do not appear to be trillions of parts, but they appear to be one thing, me. So it is with us and God. He is in us, and we are in Him, and we are One with Him, and if you have seen us, you have seen Him, because we are ONE, but not one thing, we are a compoundment of each other. Now, that is true with us as an individual, and that is true for us as the entire creation of God. The same principle of oneness abides for all things created. You are me and I am you, so how am I doing? Very well, thank you, and I am getting better as each nano-second goes by! So, the glory of the substance and nature of our heavenly Father is inexorably moving within us, from the depths of our innermost being He is shaking Himself and at the appointed intervals of time I am dying to my self existence and coming alive by His eternal, assimilating Life. My temporal life is being swallowed up by His manifold, eternal life, and with far reaching consequences in the making. I say, “in the making,” because one does not give power of great consequence to an immature child, who is not fully formed in the knowledge of how his world operates. How could a child possibly understand the force and impact a speeding bullet would have on a person’s body? So, you don’t give a loaded gun to an infant. Likewise, the greatest keys of the kingdom of God have not been given to the first and second day ministries, for they would use those keys in self serving ways. God has allowed them to minister to the outer body, in healings and miracles, and has even allowed them to move in prophetic utterances, but nothing that would be earth shaking, just in their own little circles allowing them to play with the tinker toys of the kingdom. I don’t mean to minimalize the first two days of ministry, but am only making reference to them from the perspective of what has NOT been expressed yet by God in the midst of His people. To be sure, the toys of the five fold ministry has been foreshadows of things to come, but if put in scale to those greater things themselves, they would appear as a toy bulldozer set next to a true earth moving machine. This is how much more powerful the Feast of Tabernacles will be than the prior two feasts. The manifestation of the sons of God will be exponentially more powerful than the five fold ministry of the church order, which will seem like child’s play in comparison to the full order of kings and priests when they are set to appear to the world at large. The world has never seen a ministry in the earth like them, not even when Jesus was in His body. This is the result of the compoundment of God with man, an exponential power that grows as each part takes its place.John 14:11-13 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. (KJV) John 14:20 20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. (KJV) The “greater works” are possible because of the oneness that Jesus made available to us by dying to this world and His individual life in this world and graduating into His rightful place at the right hand of the Father, where we, the overcomers, will be gathered to sit with Him, to rule the nations and to judge all things. In order to get there, we must go through many cycles of death and life until we are transformed into our original design, which is the image and likeness of our Father. This is far from the general viewpoint of the Christian church systems, to just be a “good Christian” and get a cabin in the corner of glory land. To be truthful, that kind of thinking is nothing more than a child’s dreams of fields of lollipops and rivers of candy. So, let the children play with their toys and continue to grow up, but we are crying out to the sons of God, to put away our childish things and our childish understandings and start to comprehend with us what is the height, the depth, the width and the length of God’s provision and plan. Life and immortality have nothing to do with YOU! It is a by-product of the outgrowing seed of Christ Life in a chosen generation, which will bring us to our end, only to discover our Beginning! If we can grasp that all things are connected on a spiritual plane, both things in earth and things in heaven, then we will now start to understand how a single pebble thrown into the lake will create a ripple that will reach to the farthest shores of that body of water. In the past administration of God’s plan of the ages, each level of ministry was contained within itself, having no influence on the other parallel ministries that coexisted with it. To understand this, we should see that there is one administration of God’s glory to the general population of mankind which runs linear, in calendar years from one millennium to another. We are presently in the 3rd Millennium from Jesus Christ when He ministered on earth. Within that span of time, God has measured out His glory for each generation, and knowledge has been measured out to each generation, so that the world has increased in technology at the same rate as the Church has progressed in her spiritual understanding. As the spirit of God moved on the Church, so the spirit of God measured out natural understanding to the world at large, so that there has been a comparable ratio to the amount of glory given to the church and the amount of knowledge given to the nations. As the church has taken each level of glory and brought it down into their own clutches and used it in a self-serving way, so the world at large has taken the knowledge measured out to it and used it in a self-serving way. Almost all technological advances that started as an advancement of mankind, eventually has ended up being used to destroy mankind. Greed, lust for power, dominion over others, all of this has driven the world to corrupt the precious knowledge given to it by the Giver of all knowledge. But, this is not just in the world at large. I could retype the above words and use it to describe what the Church has done with the precious revealing of God’s glory to it. Greed, lust for power, dominion over others has been the thrust of the Church and it has created that same spirit of corruption in the world. The Church has been given some wonderful truths of God, and what has she done with it? She has kept it to herself, used it to condemn and control others, bringing people under her dominion and waging war against all others that do not agree with her agenda. Sounds familiar when looking at the world today, doesn’t it? In truth, we have not fully comprehended how much the spiritual state and condition of the Church has affected the world at large. The reason is that it is all connected. If the world is to be saved and healed of it’s despair, the Church must be saved and healed from it’s despair. In order for the Church to be saved and healed, a company of sons of God must be saved and healed. The Church will remain as it is, until the Manchild stands up in the throne room of his Father and starts to sound forth the voice of the trumpet of restoration and resurrection. Then, in a series of trumpet blasts, spiritual utterances and proclamations, the Church and the nations will turn to God and be converted. If we had eyes to see with, true spiritual eyes that saw things as they truly are, we would see in our midst the many dimensions that coexist with us. We would see the natural world that everyone sees, but we would also see other worlds, levels of existence separated from each other by veils of understanding. Paul spoke of a man that experienced 3 of these worlds, or heavens. There is nothing to say there are not more than these 3, but if that is all, it is enough for this writing. Notice the pattern that God has given us, 3 Feasts, Passover – Pentecost – Tabernacles; 3 parts of our being, body – soul – spirit; 3 partitions of the Tabernacle, outer court – holy place – most holy place. In this life, most people only live in recognition of one dimension, and others see another place in the sky somewhere called heaven, but we who are to enter into Oneness with our God must start to see with new eyes and understand with a new mind how these worlds interrelate and correspond to each other right now, in our midst. Jesus certainly walked in the knowledge of a multi-dimensional world, which caused Him to see Nathaniel under the tree, walk on the water, transport himself and others across the water to the shore, pass through the midst of those that would grab hold of him, speak to Lazarus to come forth from the world he went to, become transfigured and speak to Moses and Elijah from the world they dwelt in, and so on. When one looks at all the multi-dimensional things Jesus did while on earth, we should be able to see how such an intimate knowledge and understanding of these “rooms” of God would give us power over time, distance and life and death. Jesus could sit in one dimension and see into another dimension, without the veil blocking Him from what was taking place. I only speak that which I have heard my Father speak in heaven, and I only do those things I have seen my Father do. That must become our statement, dear ones, not just the statement of Jesus! There is an order and a procession of this Oneness taking place in God. We cannot move out of order and out of our rank and file in experiencing these dimensions. It is orchestrated by the spirit of God, in a grand parade of splendor and glory, each part of that parade marching in its place and in perfect time with the Grand Marshal. The scripture has told us that the glory of the latter house will be greater than the glory of the former house. This is not a diminishing of the former, but it is a statement of the nature of the procession of God’s parade. Each new element brings an added glory to the former element, not a separate glory, but a glory that heaps itself upon the former glory in an extravagant display of glory that is revealed then as the “more excellent glory.” So it will go on, each veil that is rent will reveal an accumulative measure of the grace and love of Jesus Christ exponentially greater than the former, and His Light will ever shine unto the perfect Day of His illumination in His brethren. Indeed, if there is one aspect of this next step of our transformation that will distinguish our course of order from the former orders, it is the accumulative power that will be represented in us. As I wrote above, in prior ages of procession, the ages unfold one after the other, but in this dimension that is being opened to the chosen ones, it is a place of oneness and fullness, a simultaneous appearing in earth of many levels of God. We had a glimpse of this in the Mount of Transfiguration, but can you imagine a mount where not only Moses and Elijah appear, but a full company of the living-dead appear, 144,000 strong, InChristed Ones, with His name and His seal upon them, virgins unto the Lord, clothed in His Righteousness, armed with His Word, led by His spirit, made one with their Captain of Salvation, for where He goes, they go. He has become the wheel within their wheel, eyes inside and out, they follow the spirit wherever it takes them, a multi-dimensional company of saints that see everything as it is, without veils or vaporous mists of carnal understanding, they are and they are not, they are dead and yet, they live forevermore, they walk the earth, but they live in the heavens, they speak from heaven and their voice fills the earth, the voice which they speak with is the voice of the Ancient of Days, it is the voice that every man’s spirit knows from it’s beginnings and every heart turns toward that voice at its sound and cries, ABBA FATHER!! Glory to God! This is where our transformation is taking us friends! This is our destiny and it is where our spirit is leading us. What will be the result of this transformation? What will be the effect of the passing of our own heaven and earth? What will take place when the final throne and dominion in our own heart will have been overthrown and within us there is only ONE that stands and speaks, only ONE that is seen? What is to be done when we have endured to the end of our self and we are made whole, a New Man in Christ, a fully manifested expression of Christ in the earth, with no mixture and no clang of cymbals or tinkling of brass, a pure and undefiled heart, with the mind of Christ fully operational, having become God’s love personified, His glory in the earth, His jewels and His diadem? What will this mean for the worlds? The answer is it will be the beginning step of making all things new! A new creation! Not only mankind, but ALL THINGS, which would entail all things in heaven and all things in earth. There is a new heaven and a new earth within the present heaven and earth that is waiting to burst forth. Just as we have within us the new house, eternal in the heavens, so it is that everything in a corruptible, temporal state has within its makeup an eternal figure that is to remain throughout eternity. Heb 12:26-29 26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 29 For our God is a consuming fire. KJV The shaking of the heaven and earth will not stop until only that eternal element from which all things have been birthed and formed will remain, and the rearrangement of the restitution of all things is finally completed. It is a reconstitution of the whole creation that this great Plan has been commissioned to perform, bringing everything lowered out from God back into an ascended restoration, so that the form and nature of that which remains is not that which it started out as, but it has been enhanced and glorified by the total experience of the progressive metamorphosis that it has taken part in. This is not only true in mankind, but in all of God’s creation. Many dear folks still believe that the old material earth and the old heavens themselves are to be destroyed and annihilated and a new earth and heaven will materialize out of the wild blue, but I declare that within the molecular arrangement of the entire universe as we know it today, there is a new universe waiting and groaning for the completion of the metamorphic unveiling of the sons of God that will then trigger the universal restitution of ALL THINGS. Many times I have traveled this great country and been in awe of the grand beauty of the diverse landscapes that declare the handiwork of our God. But, we haven’t seen anything yet! This world is only a mere shadow of the world to come, a world that is full of light and glory, with all things harmonic in nature, all operating out of the ONE MIND and lending strength and beauty to each part. Yes, this will and must start with the new creation man first, but it won’t end with that New Man, but ALL THINGS are to become NEW! Isa 11:1-9 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord; And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. KJV Rev 21:1-5 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. KJV God does indeed have a truly unimaginable Plan concerning all that He has birthed out from Himself. Out from Him and contained by Him, compassed about with His substance is this world and all that is therein. God is here, dear hearts, within and without, in all of His glory He resides within all of His creation, and He is getting restless and is starting to rise up to shake Himself, causing everything that HAS BEEN to come off it’s moorings and to crumble under this great upheaval. Only those that know the secret of the emerging of the new heavens and the new earth will be at peace during this time of ordered chaos. The systems of this world must come to an end, both ecologically and governmentally. A new Kingdom is at hand, a government of a King that will bring an end to all war and destruction. His order is an endless order which will bring an end to all other orders on earth and heaven. Everything that has been established in earth and heaven as an order will find its end in this Melchizedek Priesthood Order. This is the Kingdom of God, not the kingdom of men, and it will bring to His people a divine continuity that will remove the middle wall of partition from their beings and all duality and schism will be swallowed up into His perfect Oneness. As this Kingdom is established there will be great sounds of renting and elemental reconfigurations that will fill the air with the sound of change. Great thrones that have ruled over the minds of God’s creation will start to groan and shudder as the Word starts to speak against their rule and authority. Sickness and disease will sigh the last breath and will let go of their hold in all living things. Health and vitality will spring up as the King vivifies all creation with His Life. Hatred and violence will be defeated as the ONE THAT IS LOVE conquers these offspring of fear with a LOVE that transfigures all negative energy. Those that once lived a life of tearing and renting will now be known as peace makers and builders of paths to dwell in. As the Kingdom of God rises from the hidden shadows of man’s being, all other creatures will come into harmony with mankind, as a new system of life takes place. No longer eating dead things, but all creatures will exist by the substance of God, as the earth takes on its eternal state. A totally new way of living will take place for all organic life, as everything that once survived off the life of other creatures will now be sustained by the Life-Giver. Ah, and song will fill the earth, music that has never been heard before on the scale of such purity and harmony. All living things will break out in an expression of such worship and adoration for God that the whole earth will be filled with this spontaneous eruption of heart-praise. The trees will clap their hands, the birds will sing a new song, the rivers will gurgle with exclamations of joy and exaltation, the lions will roar of God’s greatness, the elephant will trumpet out His loving kindness, as the whole earth will join in a joyful sound of salvation and restoration.Does this all sound like a great fantasy to you, my friend? I understand. But, this is the reality of what is happening right now in heaven and earth. It is a fantastical reality, too much to comprehend as we think right now, but nevertheless, this is only a few thoughts on what the whole creation is moving toward. Earth is groaning, heaven is groaning, mankind is groaning, everything is groaning for this unveiling of God’s substance and the coming together of all things, both which are in heaven and which are in earth, into one thing, HIM. Truly, this is a glorious journey and I wouldn’t take anything for my participation in such a journey. Open your mind, see with new eyes, think new thoughts, be not afraid, the time has come for His will to be done, in us, through us and into all things. To Jesus Christ be all glory and honor, world without end. Written By Robert D Torango
