“Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.” (Ps 45:2). Jesus is our Beloved; He is the fairest among the ten thousands (S.O.S 5:10). The ten thousands are the children of men. However, these men are men operating in the realm of everlasting life. Although these men are beautiful, Jesus is more beautiful than them all because He has been redeemed from among men (Rev. 14:4).
Jesus is an everlasting Priest who abides as a Son forever. One who abides is one who is proven to neither change nor repent. The essence of the gospel of God is to give us the abiding nature that can neither turn nor vary (Jam. 1:17). “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” (Jam. 1:17). God wants to bring us to a place where we neither turn nor lie (Num. 23:19). To repent is to turn and to vary is to lie. It is only the Father that can give one the ability not to turn or change because both gifts are resident in Him.
The gifts in Christ are gifts of purity; they make one pure. “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption...” (1 Cor. 1:30). Purity is attained in different levels. However, the highest level of purity in Christ is sanctification. Sanctification is a seal of purity. A sanctified person is very close to attaining redemption.
“Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” (2 Tim. 2:19). Iniquity has two major substances: lying and turning. Iniquity consists of “lies” which are resident in Satan who is the father of lies (John 8:44). Satan is a murderer from the beginning and cannot abide in truth because there is no truth in him (John 8:44).
God put a measure of truth in angels, but Satan chose not to use that truth continuously. Hence, he removed himself from the truth and fabricated a lie out of it. Thus, it is only a lie that comes out of him whenever he speaks. Satan has decked many souls with lies. As such, truth cannot be revealed to one who has not yet renounced the hidden works of dishonesty, who handles the word of God deceitfully, corrupts the word of God and works in craftiness (2 Cor. 4:2). When a man refuses to purge himself of these things, such a man cannot be brought into the realm of everlasting life.
We must do all we can to stay upright. “There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.” (Deut. 32:26). God is the God of the upright ones. He can only be God to those who have become His people (2 Cor. 6:16). The people of God are His treasures; they are the peculiar people whom God can rule over.
To be zealous is to be fervent in spirit, serving the Lord (Rom. 12:11). One must be fervent in service and in charity. The love of the brethren must be done fervently for one to find entrance into charity. At this point, we must love one another with pure hearts (1 Pet. 1:22). Charity will not be done well without a pure heart. Any impurity still present in our hearts must be dealt with by the searchlight of the Lord, so we can perform this feast of charity and keep it without spot for the purpose of everlasting life.
“Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.” (Ps. 45:3). The word ‘O’ refers to a reward call for the confirmation of a people. When the Eternal God uses the word ‘O’ for a soul, that soul is seated on the Throne. “But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.” (Heb. 1:8). God is the only being existing in the realm of 'O' – He is in Omnipotent, Omniscient and He reigns forever.
There are two kinds of words in Eternal Life: the seed and the fruit. The first kind of God’s word is the seed. The hidden manna which God promised to the overcomer is in the golden pot (Rev. 2:17). The vessel that keeps the hidden manna should be a container that can express the capacity of the food. A vessel can be empty but it is built to contain things. In the structure of the ark, God designed a vessel to keep the hidden manna. A vessel is an operation; it is a house that should best express the character of the manna when it is being given.
Jesus is an Eternal Vessel not made with hands, in which God kept the eternal seed meant for consumption. That vessel was eternally brought forth to express the character of the manna. In the Old Testament, the hidden manna in the golden pot foreshadowed something that has the life of God in the New Testament. Manna is not just a meal, it is a nature in God.
Jesus knows how to give the manna to one who overcomes (Rev. 2:17). The hidden manna and other rewards do not refer to the person of the Holy Spirit; rather, they are nature deposits in the eternal realm that are resident in the Trinity (the Godhead). The Trinity keeps them as a nature; they constitute Their power and strength which They do not share with anyone. When God sees a man who has been hewed from among men, He does not hesitate to give such a man the hidden manna.
The second kind of word in Eternal Life is the fruit. The fruit on the tree is also a kind of word. There is a mystery of trees and fruits, and also the mystery of shrubs with seeds – these both grow using different rain. Just as in the natural, there are also climates in eternity. We begin to learn of climate change when we come into the season of Christ – as He changes one from the climate of death to the climate of life. This climatic change is the challenge we are often faced with and this affects our understanding.
Passions are made in climates. A passion may be killed when introduced to another climate alien to it. One of such instances was when the Lord wanted to deal with the gods amidst Jacob – he was taken into a howling wilderness which had no respect for the gods and idols (Deut. 32:10). There are severe situations that God orchestrates for the purpose of severing one from idols. Some persons have to stay longer in some wilderness experience because of their attachment to idols and iniquity. Thus, it is sometimes difficult to break the agreement one has with idols, thereby, making it difficult for such a person to cross into God.
“He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.” (Deut. 32:10). The apple of God's eye is a finished everlasting man. This is a man whom God has thoroughly refined. Christ is an extreme fire in the Holy Place while the Most Holy Place is like the searchlight of a laser. This light of the Most Holy Place is required for the thorough cleansing of the soul; it is for expunging things that the fire of Christ cannot handle in the soul.
In Jane Lead's prophecy, she spoke about the eyes of God searching every part within us. There are seeds of iniquity hiding within the chambers of our souls and God cannot give the hidden manna to souls in such a state. Satan positions his things in souls with the aim of gaining the hidden manna through them; but he is mistaken to think he can ever receive the substances of God.
Manna is the word of God. Manna is the meat of God that fell in the wilderness; it was God's word in Christ. There is a difference between water and meat. The Israelites drank from the rock, which was a spiritual rock. The drink was also a spiritual drink and they also ate spiritual meat (1 Cor. 10:4). Both the water and the manna were spiritual. To be spiritual, one must eat and drink because it is the ordination in Eternal Life. In Eternal Life, there is eternal water coming out of the Throne.
“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.” (Rev. 22:1). There is a way water prepares the way for food. Water and drinking are involved in all of God's curriculum, even in the season of reward.
The celebration of the feast in Israel is an eye opener to God's ordinances; it uses the agricultural season to define God's calendar in the spirit. Rain and harvest time in the natural are a depiction of what takes place in the realm of the spirit. There are also climatic conditions in the realm of the unseen.
The season of seed is the season of the first fruit. The season of the fruit of the tree is the season of the precious fruit of the earth which God is waiting for (Jam. 5:7). God will also harvest us as botanical produce on the earth. He will harvest us as seeds, corn and also as the precious fruit of the earth. There are dimensions to preciousness. The first precious people are "charity beings" who are harvested into everlasting life. Such start with the learning of the incorruptible seed until they bear the fruit of the incorruptible life – they have both the nature of the incorruptible seed and the incorruptible life. When one has been fed, he is harvested. The season of eating is also a season of planting. As such, when one eats, planting also occurs and harvest will be made at the end.
At the end of the curriculum of the exceeding great and precious promises (2 Pet. 1:4), one becomes a jewel of the Lord. These are God's treasures who have become peculiar in nature. God hides them because they will be harvested and planted in Eternal Life. It is the divine nature that God sends to Eternal Life. Those who have attained divine nature are beings that have come into the life of the vine. The vine tree is an everlasting tree. Eternal trees are eternal men.
God does not want us to just eat of the Tree of Life, He also wants us to become the tree of life, such that people can come and partake of our fruits. God wants us to see the word as a seed and a fruit. The highest manifestation of the word is when it has become a fruit of the lips from the tree. The fruit of the lips is Eternal Life while the Eternal Tree is Jesus.
Jesus is in the midst of the Throne of God, just as the tree is in the midst of the paradise of God (Rev. 2:7). Satan planted his tree in the midst of Eden where the tree of the Godhead was planted. The tree Satan planted was a copy of the fallen program that God put in the Cherubims of glory. There are Cherubims, but there are also Cherubims of glory.
“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!” (Isa. 14:12). Lucifer was referred to as ‘O’, which signifies the god-factor. The ‘O’ signifies the ring that follows the Cherubims; it is the fusion of all the rewards. Without it, one cannot have the Eternal Throne. God gave the Cherubims the opportunity to epitomise Him. He did it in love for them and also for us to study. This is so that by reading them, we will know how to come to Him.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (2 Cor. 5:17). All things that are become new are not things of Christ; they are things of the ‘O God’. One who has attained this level of learning is no longer an ordinary man. No one without the reference of an ‘O’ can sit on the Throne.
The angels of God are under God. Under the Throne are wheels, which are the shield of the Cherubims. The Cherubims have eyes and wheels (Ezek. 1:16-20). The wheels and the Cherubims think the same way, so when the wheels lift, the Cherubims also lift. The spirit of the Cherubims is that which controls the Cherubims; whatever affects the wheel affects the Cherubims also.
The wheel is obedient to the Throne and the Cherubims are bound to the Throne; they are programmed to the beneath of the Throne. The Throne is an ‘O’; it is a roundabout body (Rev. 4:6). In other words, the Throne itself is a wheel. God does not sit on the edge of the wheel, but in the midst.
God wants His children to possess a sense of eternity and fear because we also have an enemy with a sense of eternity and he wants to take men away from God. There are evil spirits that have been joined with him because of his eternal power. He has also killed men to the utmost. The capacity of a man to die to the uttermost is as a result of the decision of the soul concerning its destiny. Satan can train a soul to get to a state where it chooses to die to the uttermost; he can train a soul not to love God.
The Throne is made up of eternal composition; it is a body of eternity. God brought things from the eternal realm to make up the Throne. Jesus is an Eternal Man – His spirit, soul, and body are all eternal. Jesus is currently lower than His original state as the Word (John 1:1-2). However, of all the beings under God, He is the highest being; He is the body of God where God can come to full expression without any limitation (Col. 2:9). Jesus is a tabernacle that God can dwell in; He is an example for man to come into this estate also.
The manifestation of the Throne is a great help; it is a figure of what is unseen. God sits upon His own circle where all things are connected to. ‘O God’ is a being with the full eternal stature, having all things, including the reward. A man must also come to this fullness before he will be made to sit on the Throne.
