The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Convergence, #6
Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this. (Isaiah 9:7—NIV)
We have listed six aspects of the present-day burden of the Spirit of the Lord:
The need for a reformation of Christian thinking.
The return of the Jews of the world to the land of Israel.
Repentance and righteous behavior on the part of all God's people.
The spiritual fulfillment of the feast of Tabernacles.
The coming of the Kingdom of God to the earth.
The organizing of the Body of Christ into an army.
We have stated further that these six aspects will converge in the near future, finding their ultimate purpose and oneness in the return of Christ to the earth to establish His Kingdom. Jesus shall reign on the Throne of David in Jerusalem and His Kingdom will include all the nations of saved peoples of the earth and all the territories of the earth.
Christian thinking must be reformed, because the current assortment of traditions and fables has left the believers in an appalling state of spiritual babyhood. They understand little beyond being "saved" or being "saved and filled with the Spirit."
The tentacles of humanism, Gnosticism, antinomianism, and dispensationalism have penetrated Christian thinking and preaching until the understanding of the nature and goal of the new covenant has been destroyed.
The Christians of today are not able to receive the solid food of the Word of God because they are babies, not having their senses exercised to discern the difference between good and evil.
When they are aware of the difference between good and evil they do not have enough spiritual strength to reject the evil and choose the good. Instead they claim it does not matter whether or not they serve the Lord because they are saved by "grace."
How can such spiritual infants serve as the ladder that joins earth to Heaven? How can the sinning, self-serving believers of today be transformed from mortality into immortality while standing on their feet, as will be true of those who remain physically alive until the revealing of Christ?
The appearing of the Lord depends on the coming to spiritual maturity of the saints, on the development of a great and strong people who can drive out sin and rule with the Lord Jesus. The coming to spiritual maturity of the saints depends on their having access to the solid food of the Word of God. The prevailing accumulation of traditions and fables is not the solid food of the Word of God.
The Jews must return to the land of Israel because the Prophets reveal that the Jews will be in their land when Christ returns. The second exodus, the exodus from the north country and from all the other countries of the dispersion, must take place before Christ descends to the Mount of Olives.
We Christians are to do all in our power to assist the Jewish people as the Spirit of God points them toward immigration to their land. God will bless those who help His original chosen people.
We Christians are not to force our doctrinal beliefs (many of which are incorrect) down their throats. We merely are to assist the Jews as the Spirit of God brings them back to their land in preparation for the coming of the Deliverer to them (Romans 11:26).
To be continued.
