The perfect 'song' ...A Chapter by stranger-n-lifeGod's love of all ...You may note that there is not one heaven in scripture , but three ... the first two have a corresponding two earths, but there is no such physical realm in the third heaven , the paradise of God where is the tree of life [immortality of the spirit] ... this then is the 'garden' and the serpent is none other than the left-hand covering cherub at the throne of God , Satan.. the other covering cherub is the Word [Logos] which manifested as Jesus the man ... each cherub has four faces , one is a man [mortality], one a lion [destructive power] , on is an eagle [the spirit]... [note the poor translation in scripture, 'cherub' is the singular, 'cherubim' is the Hebrew plural, 'cherubs' is the English plural... so why is it translated 'cherubims' in scripture ! ...??? ] Thus we know Satan is redeemed to spirit , we know Jesus mediates the Wrath of the Lamb [destruction of this earth] and we see him standing as the cherub at the right-hand of God ...... Note that Satan is created [perfect] and dies as a man [Ezek 18] note that all created beings accept Jesus Christ's dominion as Lord in the end and thus obey his command to love and are thus redeeeed [e.g Ezek 18:21], not having to die again to free them from sin because they now obey Jesus Revelation 5:13 And, every created thing which was in heaven, and upon the earth, and under the earth, and upon the sea, and, all the things in them, heard I, saying"Unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, be the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the dominion, unto the ages of ages! Note the three baptisms necessary for redemption from the physical realm, water, spirit, blood [fire] :- 1 John 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. turning to face God , being enabled to resist Satan by God's truth given, and the precious trial of faith to show one will not turn back to sin, perfection of one's love... that is all that is required, but note that god alone decides when a man is baptised with His spirit... one cannot acquire true faith, it must be given by God :- Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: One can acquire empty faith in sinners and their icons/dogmas very easily in this world , and most men are far too much in a hurry to wait upon God ... unsurprising since God has said He will baptise but a few in this life and the many follow after death frees them from sin, grace is just for the few then... note how FEW in the first group saved by grace by the narrow strait way and how many in the second group saved by the broad way through death in Rev 7:3-10 The first group are the priests who minister to the billions in the second group ... salvation is thus a power process, using the first to help the second and the second then help the third but in different manner] ...the plan is ordered and carefully structured, and is thus not all-or-none as is taught by sinners, but a growth process of the kingdom of God, begun in this world with Jesus and the 144,000 saints , continued in the next world with the rest of Israel and billions of gentiles... a massive project ,so the priest-kings are readied first ... Exodus 19:6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. Note that Israel has never been a kingdom of priests and that Israel is still divided... the Messiah does not even finish that work until the new earth because many of Israel died sinners and never even knew the Messiah who would be their king after the second resurrection when all Israel are all alive again at once for the first time ever :- Romans 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: Ezekiel 37:22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all: Thus Jesus first tasks were to establish the new covenant of forgiveness of BOTH kingdoms of Israel , note that it is only with those whose fathers broke the old covenant [Heb 8:8-9], only with the House of Israel and the House of Judah... Now the Jews are easy to find because of Judaism, but the House of Israel have been living now for three millenia as gentiles, worshipping idols and pagan gods... Jesus thus starts with the harder task, enlisting a few Jews to continue the task after his death Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Matthew 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Acts 7:42 Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, ... Hebrews 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: The irony is than that the Jews will be united with the House of Israel they hate [for idolatry] and the two under Jesus will afterward in the new earth, serve as a royal priesthood to redeem all the sinner 'christians' who hate them now! ...all the hatred , all the anti-Semitism, , all just to make God's plan work smoothly ,so no-one gets to the truth too soon, no-one too late ! ... quite beautiful, like a perfect song ...
