The Daily Word of Righteousness

The Person and Work of Christ, #9

That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: (Ephesians 1:10)

God will establish the entire universe on Christ, on the Word—the Person who has issued from God Himself.

Every person and thing God saves, both in the heavens and on the earth, will be gathered together into one and headed up by the Lord Jesus.

In the present hour there is chaos in the earth. Men and devils run here and there, each following his own fears, lusts, and self-will. There is confusion, uncertainty, destruction. The Divine curse is on the earth. The inhabitants are destroying themselves. The large nations of our day will not be able to withstand the Divine testings and shakings that are at hand because they are not trusting in God.

But we saints are the firstfruits, after Christ, of the new, eternal world. Every area and particle of our personality is being filled with the eternal Life flowing from Christ. The old nature, the old world in us, is passing away. The new creation is being developed and it is of God through Christ.

The new creation is spiritual and eternal. It cannot be shaken by any test or stress. What dies and is raised again in Christ can never die again. It has been created in and founded on the unshakable, incorruptible Christ.

Christ Is the Resurrection and the Life. The Resurrection and the Life now are being fashioned in the members of the Body of Christ.

As soon as the Divine Truth that is the Life of Christ, which indeed is the true Light that illuminates every person who comes into the world, has been developed perfectly in the personalities of the saints, Christ will appear to the world along with all those whose life He is.

The Life of Christ will flow from the saints into the nation of Israel causing all Israel to be saved. Jerusalem will become the capital city of the world. The Holy Spirit will fill Jerusalem and its surrounding cities and villages.

At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart. In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers. (Jeremiah 3:17,18)

The Jews will return from Europe, from Russia, and from all other countries in which they have been dispersed. They will return to the land of Israel.

God gave Abraham two inheritances. He gave Abraham the Seed and He gave Abraham the land. The Seed is Christ and all who are part of Him. The land is the traditional Holy Land.
