Racial species and new spiritual species in the Anghelic Conflict.
Sunday, January 20, 2008
God: “I never promised you an easy ride.”
Unfortunately for many people on this planet they use the tough circumstances of everyday life as a crutch to disbelieve that there is a God. “Certainly,” they say, “if there was a God and He is good then planet earth would be a paradise where everyone is happy and healthy with no problems.”
God never designed man, believer or unbeliever, to be able to handle his circumstances alone.
2TI 2:4 No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier.
Mankind has purposely been created helpless and hopeless.
PSA 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate;
I am the captain of my soul.
I have no fear, though strait the gate,
He cleared from punishment the scroll.
Christ is the Master of my fate,
Christ is the Captain of my soul.
Do you want to be captain of your soul or would you rather put that soul in the arms of the Shepherd?
Mankind has been placed on planet Earth as witnesses in the appeal trial of the Angelic Conflict.
In the Christian way of life, when you are seemingly losing you are often winning, and when you are seemingly winning you are losing.
We all have been selected for birth for a very real and eternal purpose, both OT and NT believers, as witnesses in the Angelic Conflict.
In Gen 17 Abraham became the father of a new racial species called the Jew, which would become the nation of Israel over 400 years later.
At Pentecost, after the resurrection of Christ, the Church-age was interjected for the calling out of the new spiritual species, which would build up the body of Christ, known as the Royal Family of God.
Israel was created for a visible historical impact in the Old Testament (age of Israel) and in the Millennium through their client nation function.
The Church was created for an invisible historical impact during the Church-age and the times of the Gentiles.
1. Israel as the new racial species, getting ready for being the center of the next two dispensations, the Tribulation and the Millennium.
2. The United States as God’s client nation representing the Church or the new spiritual species in the present dispensation, the Church-age.
First, there is the formal presentation of the case: the prosecution presents its case, followed by the defense presenting its case.
Is God just or unjust?
Has God been fair with His creatures?
How can a loving God cast His creatures in the lake if fire?
His justice is revealed by His fairness in dealing with the fall of mankind and by judging sin.
His righteousness is revealed by the fact that He was willing to forsake His own Son while judging sin. His love is revealed by the fact that He offered salvation to anyone who would believe upon TLJC.
Phase 1: The trial phase. This begins with the fall of man in the garden and continues until the beginning of the dispensation of the Hypostatic Union.
Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Rahab (who helped the Jews), Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, Nathan, Gad, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Habakkuk, Zechariah, Malachi, Amos, Joel, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Zephaniah, and Haggai.
JER 5:14 Therefore, thus says the Lord, the God of hosts, “Because you have spoken this word, Behold, I am making My words in your mouth fire And this people wood, and it will consume them.”
JER 20:9 But if I say, “I will not remember Him Or speak anymore in His name,” Then in my heart it becomes like a burning fire shut up in my bones; And I am weary of holding it in, And I cannot endure it.
They were empowered out of weakness, much like Paul in 2CO 12:9, “for my power is perfected in your weakness” or 2CO 12:10b, “for when I am weak, then I am strong.”
Others = the anonymous ordinary believers who became doctrinal heroes.
None of these who obtained divine commendation because of the doctrine in their souls has yet obtained the ultimate promise, the blessings that follow resurrection life.
