(Dan. 9:24). To make an end of sin is to stop sin. As iniquity is being dealt with, righteousness is being installed. To finish transgression is to expire it.
Transgression is the breaking of the law. To transgress under the law of sin and death is not to commit fornication, adultery or other works of flesh (Gal. 5:19-21). It is only one who has knowledge of the laws of life that can transgress, as such, it can only be committed by one who has become a priest (one who has knowledge). A man that transgresses is one who knows the laws of life, yet consciously violates it.
Every time Satan gets a hold of a man, he teaches him how to transgress. When a man falls into adultery or any of the works of the flesh, Satan's intention is not for the man to stop there, but to further cause such a man to go against the ways he has learnt. Satan uses the works of the flesh to discourage men in their walk in the spirit.
The works of the flesh are not an end in themselves, but have an end that they are leading every man that engages in them to. God leads and evil spirits also lead. The purpose of leading by evil spirits is to teach man sin, just as God purposes to lead man by teaching him righteousness (Rom. 8:14).
Transgression can only be committed by one who has learnt the laws of the spirit. There are two major laws in scriptures: (1) the law of life and peace (first law) and (2) the law of everlasting righteousness (last law). The law of everlasting righteousness is also the law in the Son of God that must be taught to everyone that has become Christ. These two Beings are made up of laws and to learn these Beings (Christ and the Son of God), you must learn Their laws.
There is no law without its knowledge (Mal. 2:7). Sin is a law but iniquity is a greater knowledge than sin (this world). This world is made up of lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and pride of life (1 John 2:16). This is the corruption that makes up the world (2 Pet. 1:4). Anyone who obeys Christ will be cleansed from the corruption that is in the world. You are not counted guilty according to the book until you have been cleansed, but you cannot be cleansed until your eyes are opened.
There is no opening of the eyes without the giving of the law of life. The purpose of the law is to open the eyes. The opening of the eyes is the enlightening of the eyes. The law giver of sin fights man because he does not want the world to pass away before man. Satan wants to keep the world before our gaze, but it is supposed to pass away.
To leave faith is to cut off the soul from the sphere of faith. A man can decide to leave the faith of the Son (Gal. 2:20) and settle with the faith towards God for receiving natural things; such a man has short-changed himself. One who has known the law of faith is not ignorant. Anyone that does not come into this world of faith still has a lot of the things of the world in him. This world is a program of love; it is a life. Natural men see this program of the world as a success because of the privileges it gives on earth.
Life is generated through obedience to laws; there is no life without laws. However, if one who has embodied the law turns and decides to break the law, he becomes a transgressor. A man can obey the laws of the Father and then transgress against these laws if he does not take heed.
There is a place the conscience gets to as a result of knowledge where it is no longer ignorant of the laws of life. To obliterate God's consciousness in a man, a lot of work is needed. This is what it means to do evil to a man. Everyone on earth knows that God should not be tampered with within a man, for God has put His temple in every man. This is so that when He comes looking for man, he can respond to Him. This is why no matter how far a man has gone astray, he can always be called back by God.
The bringing in of everlasting righteousness is to teach us life everlasting and then seal up the vision and prophecy. To seal the vision is to seal men to salvation, and this is God’s vision. The vision is also a prophecy. To anoint the Most Holy (Dan. 9:24) is to give men Eternal Life. The Most Holy here is not just a place but refers to a people who have overcome the taste of breaking laws.
Such people who have become most holy cannot transgress; they cannot sin anymore (1 Jn. 3:9). God must see this in a man; he must prove to God that he has no shadow of turning nor variableness (Jam. 1:17). Transgression is that which is against what is on the inside of God. Men turn, Satan turns but God cannot turn. God's intent is to purge in a man tendencies of turning; it is to do a work in a man such that no matter the heat, God can still trust him.
“Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.” (1 John 3:9). “He cannot sin” here does not mean the man will not make mistakes, but it means he cannot transgress. Every sin is a transgression of the law.
“Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.” (1 John 3:4). The real law is the law of everlasting life. Works are in the law and laws are works. “Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.” (Ps. 119:18). Wondrous works speak of a high law, a wonderful law (everlasting law) or marvelous law. “Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty…” (Rev. 15:3). These works are in God; they obey a law and this is what God is trying to teach us. The everlasting law is also called righteousness. The learning of righteousness is the learning of the discipline of enduring to the end.
“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). We should take the issue of the gifts of God seriously. (Matt. 25:15) Laws in God are gifts (talents). They are not gifts of the Spirit but thoughts of the Spirit -- they show the personality of the Holy Ghost.
Sight is a gift; it is not part of the gifts of the Spirit but shows how the Holy Ghost thinks, reasons, and behaves. Partaking of revelation is partaking of holy things because revelation purges one of the lifestyle of darkness. Revelation upgrades one’s thinking capacity to veer into the spiritual and have fellowship with things that are holy.
It is in everlasting life that we receive the gifts (nature) of God. The gifts of God are lights. The Father is the Father of luminaries/illumination; and He gives them to us so that we do not vary, then we will learn not to turn. Variableness means lie; turning is to repent.
“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent…” (Num. 23:19). God neither lies nor repents. An everlasting man does not vary or turn; he cannot lie or repent. It will take good works for one not to vary but it will take wondrous works for one not to turn. A man can be free from lies but can still turn. The course of everlasting life starts with working the nature not to lie, but the end is to bring a man to the point where he cannot turn. This is the perfect law of liberty; it is what the mirror of the word serves (Jam. 1:23).
These are the works (first/good and last/wondrous works) that a man that is said to be blessed will do. These works will be done till a man becomes perfectly free. The realm of not varying or turning is the realm of the love of God. In Christ, charity does not fail (1 Cor. 13:8), but the love of God does not turn or lie and this is a higher activity than that which faileth not. One must come into the realm that is unfailing to move into that which does not turn.
Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah (Rev. 5:5); He has the nature of a lion, and as such, He cannot turn. He also has the nature of the Lamb, which is the attribute that does not lie. This is why it is not good to be a lion on the other (negative) side. We should be lambs, hardening not our hearts. When a man becomes a lion on the negative side, he is unable to turn to God anymore.
The cat family in scripture is not an ordinary family; it is a carnivore -- a family of strength. “And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.” (Rev. 5:5). The lion mustered a very high strength. This strength is to protect righteousness and our conscience. If not, the power of dogs will get us and the mouth of the evil lion (Satan) will crumble us.
“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. [9] Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.” (Heb. 1:8-9). Jesus was raised from the dead as an Eternal Man, not an everlasting Man because He attained Eternal Life.
Anointing the most holy is the end of all things in Daniel's vision (Dan. 9). You cannot anoint anyone without the life that God designated for anointing to come upon him. Both prophecy and vision is God's demand/requirement. Some people should fulfill prophecy, meaning they should put an end to transgression. Transgression cannot be dealt with until the laws of everlasting life have been acquired. The laws of everlasting life are to animate in us the character of a lamb and a lion. The character of the lamb is to be harmless. To be harmless means that when you are touched, you will not be stained (1 John 5:18).
Satan is evil from within which makes him harmful. Satan comes to do harm but the Son of God is harmless. It is not easy to train us to be harmless; God has to rid us of wrong properties and weaknesses -- things that will make us harmful. Sometimes, we may think we are doing good when we are actually causing harm. One must know the laws of a realm before the required works of that realm can be correctly done.
If there are two lives (everlasting life and Eternal Life) in the Most Holy Place, then there are two dimensions of ministry. Ministry in the Most Holy Place consists of two kinds of glory: everlasting glory and Eternal glory. The ministration of righteousness is also the ministration of glory (2 Cor. 3:9). This ministration is not Christ but everlasting life; it is the revelation of the ministry of the Father. The ministry of the Father exceeds in glory, meaning it has glory and this glory is in the face of Jesus (2 Cor. 4:6). The ministration of righteousness is the perfect law of liberty; it is the communication of the everlasting strength of God.
(2 Cor. 4:4-6). The glorious gospel of Christ is everlasting life. The glory of God is the light of righteousness. The knowledge of the glory of God is the knowledge of everlasting life, which is the first glory. It is glorious because it raises everlasting men. This is why it surpasses the glory of death. An everlasting man is higher than the heavens. Men are made by words; materials of the Kingdom are fabricated to raise him.
“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory…” (2 Cor. 4:17). There is another glory which works far more than the first -- the Eternal Weight of Glory. There is a ministry of Eternal Glory; it is this glory that raised Jesus from the dead on the third day.
As the season of righteousness exceeds in glory, the ministry of Eternal Glory exceeds the ministry of righteousness. These two glories are different and we must experience them. Glory can be defined but it means many things. Just before we get to the Throne of God is the realm of everlasting life. It's a world of Glory. The glory of everlasting life rests upon works but the glory of Eternal Life rests on rewards on the Throne of God. There is a ministry of the Throne heaven is opening to us, they want to make eternal men quickly. The two dimensions would shortly come to pass.
What raised Jesus from the dead is the Eternal ministry of God. Glory is a ministry. It took God's face to raise Jesus from the dead. Within the minutes Jesus was raised, He ate the hidden manna, of the Tree of life and had the rod of iron. He was given the white stone, morning star, everything before He sat on the Throne and it was in one day. That one day is Eternal day.
What makes a day is thoughts. What God gave to Jesus is unlimited years in some seconds. God is a master of seed, He can collapse everything into an unseen thing. Eternal seed is smaller than everlasting seed. This is why it is not seen- it cannot be found. Jesus is sitting on the Throne for us. There is a life called sitting. It is a formula of style, it is not walking. It is a crown conversation called sitted. It is a kind of life that is lived. It is God's highway of living that will be demonstrated by us.
When God places a demand on something, He wants it. Everything in us must give way- they should crumble. The ministry of righteousness breaks us completely for the real sense of reigning - the anointed life. The Eternal Crown is thoughts of Eternal Life. It is a higher wisdom of coming above everything.
We must finish our everlasting course. We must be quick to obey every lingering instruction that God has given to us. "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."(1 John 1:8) The foundation of salvation is to be poor. We must be purged of the tendency of transgression; we must not boast. We must not think of ourselves as anything, and our heart and core must be purged. May we find grace to have the right heart.
