Christ the Antidote Regarding Death

CHRIST THE ANTIDOTE REGARDING DEATH

Part 33.

Being Initiated Into A Mystery!

Jesus in speaking to the Twelve once said this. ''And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of
the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not
understand.'' Luk 8:10. The mysteries of God which are concealed to some & yet revealed to others are
never understood by the natural mind, they are revealed only by the Spirit & are only spiritually discerned.
We must realise that they can never be understood intellectually or even religiously apprehended. These
spiritually understood mysteries are always given to us in parables or metaphors. For example.

''That by revelation he made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in few words; By which
when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ, Which in other ages was not
made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
That the Gentiles should be joint-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by
the Gospel:'' Eph 3:3-6. I very much like the way that the Concordant version describes this mystery in
Rom 16::25. ''and the heralding of Christ Jesus in accord with the revelation of a secret hushed in
times eonian,''
To the Jewish Pharisees & Sadducee's this could not be remotely understood as they were thinking in
their natural carnal reasoning which was filled with tradition. Now we can all say yes, yes I understand
completely BUT, I would venture to say that - myself first included - all of us because of our past
understanding & TRADITION would have some reticence somewhere as to seeing revealed truth. WHY?
Because truth is SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED & is only revealed by the Father, the Spirit of God. ''For
they that worship Him MUST worship Him in Spirit & truth.'' Paul clarifies this mystery further in this
next verse.
''[For my concern is] that their hearts may be braced (comforted, cheered, and encouraged) as they
are knit together in love, that they may come to have all the abounding wealth and blessings of assured
conviction of understanding, and that they may become progressively more intimately acquainted with
and may know more definitely and accurately and thoroughly that mystic secret of God, [which is]
Christ (the Anointed One). 3 In Him all the treasures of [divine] wisdom (comprehensive insight into
the ways and purposes of God) and [all the riches of spiritual] knowledge and enlightenment are stored
up and lie hidden.'' Col 2:2-3. Amp. This wonderful mystic secret is summed up in three words, JESUS
THE CHRIST. But let us look a little deeper, as Paul further illustrates.

The Mystery Deepens!
Christ Knowing Christ !

''Consequently, from now on we estimate and regard no one from a [purely] human point of view [in
terms of natural standards of value]. [No] even though we once did estimate Christ from a human
viewpoint and as a man, yet now [we have such knowledge of Him that] we know Him no longer [in
terms of the flesh]. Therefore if any person is [in-grafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation
(a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold,
the fresh and new has come!'' 2 Co 5:16-17. Amp. Here in this verse I believe lies the key to the
problem of many of our downfalls including animosity toward one another. The KJV states, ''Wherefore
henceforth know we no man after the flesh:'' Even as the disciples knew Christ in the flesh & then
afterward they could no longer do so. Why? He was now in a spiritual realm, & might I add IN THEM, we
are also to know EVERY MAN in this same way & the secret & success to us of this mystery is to only see
CHRIST who is their true identity & is also our true identity in actual fact it is Christ knowing Christ. I

1


like this translation as regards judging one another. ''I tell you men, if you would censure not till you are
free from sin, the WORLD would soon forget the meaning of the word accused.''

When we come to realise that Christ is no longer just the head & that He is not only in the body but He
IS the BODY. The Christ in me responds to the Christ in you. Now we can understand why the baby John
leaped in Elisabeth’s womb when Mary greeted her & Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit & she
cried out with a loud cry, Blessed favoured of God above all other women are you! And blessed is the
fruit of your womb. And how should this honour be granted to me that the mother of my Lord should
come to me? Luke 1: 1-43. (Paraphrased). Christ meeting Christ. What a mystery! Now we might see a
further depth to the age old text, ''Deep calls unto deep.'' When I was a young man before I knew any of
these deeper truths of God I had an awareness or an innate knowing that there was something in all men,
that when I would speak to them spiritually I would concentrate on this awareness of spirituality that I
knew I could talk to & give life to & try to wake it up. I would not talk to the person, or the flesh man but
I would address in my spirit what I now know to be the Christ. God was very gracious to us in those days
& we were very blessed with success in soul winning. Now I am well aware that I am not alone in this &
I am not saying this to be vain as I know that the credit all goes to Christ for it would never have happened
if He had not caused it. It was then even as it is now the 'deep calling unto deep' the Christ in me
ministering to the Christ in them. Whenever we fellowship with one another & minister to each other it is
this very thing, the Christ in me ministering to the Christ in you. Even right now this is happening, we are
edifying one another Christ to Christ. All praises be to our most wonderful God.

Is This Man Beside Himself!

I would like at this time to once again share the words of George Hawtin. ''There are several definitions
of a mystic, but the one I like best is this. One who has been initiated into a mystery. Now when we
realise that a mystery is something incomprehensible in its nature, something that can never possibly be
understood apart from divine revelation, then consider how wonderful a thing it is to be ''initiated into a
mystery.'' Blessed be the man who has thus been enlightened by the Spirit of God! But such a man has
no ability to disclose the truth revealed to him until the Holy Spirit in loving kindness draws aside the
darkening veil & reveals the hidden truth that those who hear might understand. It is said of Jesus,
''Then opened He their understanding that they might understand the scriptures.'' Luke 24:45. The
heavens are closed because our minds are closed. Thus we grope in darkness & thus we remain until by
the miracle of divine revelation of our understanding is enlightened..... Let not those who enter into the
secret of God's presence imagine even for one moment that other Christians will understand, for they will
not. Tell them ever so earnestly, but they cannot hear. From this day forth the spiritual man will be a
'speckled bird' Jer 12: 9. Even while he tells them, their eyes will be heavy with sleep & he will seem to
them as one who has taken leave of his senses. This in a measure is true, for the celestial realm is beyond
the realm of time & sense. The people who listened to Paul cried, ''Paul thou art beside thyself; much
learning doth make thee mad.'' To which he replied, '' I am not mad, most noble Festus, but speak forth
the words of truth & soberness.'' Acts 26:24. Perhaps Paul had this same accusation in mind when he
wrote to the Corinthians, ''If we be beside ourselves, it is to God.'' 2 Cor 5:13''. Unquote.

Behold I Show You A Mystery We Shall Not All Die!

''Take notice! I tell you a mystery (a secret truth, an event decreed by the hidden purpose or counsel of
God). We shall not all fall asleep [in death], but we shall all be changed (transformed).'' 1Co 15:51.
Amp. This is a mystery that not all have understood or believed as it should be as yet, one of the reasons
is because of a recent tradition known as the rapture, which teaches that people are going to be zapped off
the earth to escape all the trouble, but I wish to suggest that as the three Hebrew boys went through the
fiery furnace - overcame - & then afterward ruled on this terra-firma, & as Joshua & Caleb who were
vastly in the minority & who overcame all obstacles & went into the PROMISED LAND & were
victorious, so it will be with the remnant, the sons of God, or the Man-child, they will stay & rule right

2


here on this earth & will be seated on Gods throne within themselves, - literalism is one of the deadly
enemies of truth - for that is exactly where they have overcome & are OVERCOMERS. I would add at this
time that once Joshua & Caleb had tasted the fruit of the promised land, there was no turning back as far
as they were concerned, remember that they were threatened with death, but with them it was DO OR DIE.

The truth is, that there is a rapture, a being caught up & it is happening within ourselves as the
revelation of truth becomes more pronounced to those who are hungering & thirsting after truth &
righteousness. As a number of writers are informing us that within ourselves is our lower self or our
mistaken identity & then also we have within us our true self Christ our true identity, whilst these two are
operating separately & we periodically confess that we have a second nature or part to us thus making
TWO, we cannot agree with Jesus who said that '' I and My Father ARE ONE.'' we still are prone to
change from one to the other to suit our five senses & we still have two natures operating within us. For
instance, ''Whoever finds his [lower] life will lose it [the higher life], and whoever loses his [lower] life
on My account will find it [the higher life].'' Mat 10:39, Amp.

So the lesson to be learned here is that the lower life our - mistaken identity - is to be swallowed up into
the higher life which is Christ our true identity. Now whilst any of us are operating from the two natures
there can be no real constant peace. Oh yes there can of course - if we are having a trial or such some
thing - come a wonderful peace from Christ to help us through the problem, but then if we do not stay in
that Christ consciousness, we return to what we were before; but of course will have hopefully learned
something from the experience. Lately I have been getting so much from the Gospel of Thomas, this will
explain a little further as to where we are heading, here are several excerpts,

''Jesus said: If the two make peace with each other in this single house, - our body - they will say to
the mountain ''Move away'' and it shall move.'' Also, ''On the day that you were One you created the
two; but then being two what will you do?'' Plus, ''When he is emptied he will be filled with light; but
when he is divided he will be filled with darkness.'' Then, ''When you make the two One, you will
become Sons of man.'' meaning as Jesus was the Son of man. Lastly, ''So that you will make'' the
male & the female - spirit & soul - into a single One, in order that the male is not made male nor the
female made female.'' The explanation is that Christ - our true identity - is male, & soul – our mistaken
identity – being female. The key of course is that the two become one, as the above Mat 10:39 text tells us
whoever LOSES his lower life, then coupling that with ''When YOU make the two ONE,'' also ''So that
you will make the male & the female into a single ONE.'' Now what I am suggesting here is something
that I have never mentioned before as in the last few days I have had illumination from the Spirit on this
very thing. Jesus said that '' I and My Father ARE ONE.'' There is no admission here of a second
mistaken identity, we can read that into it if we wish with the I, but His confession is ONE. As from two
days ago I will not any longer myself recognise a mistaken identity as a second part of myself, or a second
identity, if I do I am confessing TWO instead of ONE. I because of illumination or I might say a lifting of
the veil have now made the two ONE. Read carefully what I am now going to say. My identity is Christ &
none other, I am a Christ & I do not recognise any other, I have now made the TWO, ONE. If you are
grasping this you too can do the same, let me say this, this writing may be of some help to you but unless
the Spirit reveals this to you it cannot become a reality in your life, but there is a wonderful solution,
speak to your father about it, seek him & I am sure He will speak to you. ''Whatsoever things that you
desire when you pray believe & you will receive.'' This understanding of course is a lead into being a
part of the mystic company 'who shall not die.'

The Last Adam!

In conjunction with the above, I would now like us to look at this verse in 1 Cor 15:45. ''Thus it is
written, The first man Adam became a living being (an individual personality); the last Adam (Christ)
became a life-giving Spirit [restoring the dead to life].'' Also as a help I let us read the words of Moffatt.
''Thus it is written, 'The first man, Adam, became an animate being, the last Adam a life-giving

3


Spirit';'' 1Co 15:45. If we are identifying our identity with Christ, I believe that we are to go all the way
for in God we become what we believe for. The question I now ask myself is, was Jesus truly the last
Adam? If He was, then in reality there are no more first Adams; Yes But! Now we can yes but all of our
lives & miss out on deeper truths. We are not now discussing what we can see with our eyes we are
speaking spiritual facts, in other words TRUTH. As Christians we should know by now that what we
perceive with our five senses is usually far from spiritual truth. ''While we look not at the things which
are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the
things which are not seen are eternal.'' 2Co 4:18.

Jesus came to turn the whole human race around from the carnal into the spiritual so that in the final
analysis death would be overcome & for this to happen, our thinking needs not only a shake up but also a
quantum leap, not just new wine but new wine skins. If Jesus was the last Adam we need not only to
believe Him but to identify with Him. This also agrees with our becoming ONE & is also another support
for us not to identify & recognise our mistaken identity as being a spiritual fact in our perception of our
identity. The simple truth is if Jesus was the last Adam then SO ARE WE!! I think it is wonderful.

Who Told You That You Were Naked?

The answer is of course an adversary, an accuser, an opponent, satan or the Hebrew saw-tawn without
any capitals & the only person he ever was or ever will be is in the guise of what we have called our
mistaken identity & is the only real saw-tawn or adversary we will ever encounter, - & in this I am
including the events in the book of Job - does this seem far out to you, then my advice, if you are
interested, is to do some real honest research - not five minutes - into the matter. Who told us that we were
naked? Our mistaken identity of course & is from now on in my confession, no longer a part of the
equation. Christ & only Christ is my identity. I HAVE NOW MADE THE TWO ONE, & only ONE. Whilst
Christ is my only identity or my true self, all else is being SWALLOWED UP in Him. I might add that the
lie of my mistaken identity has only one destination; the bottomless pit for it is without any foundation &
has been a lie from the very beginning for we were never ever separated from God. Jn 8:44.

Once this is understood I can see that there will be such a progression that - the illusion of this lie which
is not eternal, & never will be, will be uncovered within yourself - Christ will then be gradually increased
in us until He is fully activated within ourselves & we will also become resurrected CHRISTS. The real
truth is that there is really only one in us as Christ cannot be divided but this is something that is only
being realised by those who the Spirit apprehends. The separation or - the valley of the shadow of death -
is really only in our spiritual perception & will only be with us until the veil is lifted.

Allow me to further illustrate; The reason that for so long through the ages we have thought that our
being was a five sensed flesh man, is that we have not realised that we were God beings & unless we now
consciously daily remind ourselves of the true nature of our being which is Christ & none other we will
come under the general belief that we are something separate & apart from God. And most of what
appears to us as real is really a false sense of reality. Also let me add that the veil is the flesh or our five
senses or our mistaken identity.

''Who told you that you were naked.'' or that you are two, or that you have no covering. Thank God
for the words of Jesus. ''I and My Father ARE ONE.'' To make this a little clearer the real truth is that the
I – my five sense perception - & my Christ identity are one & they always have been & to think otherwise
is a lie or - an illusion - & to me it means that the veil is still over our spiritual eyes. But wonderful news,
to the true seeker the veil is now being removed to a greater degree & that means it is happening to more
than we may realise.

I personally feel that after a further opening of my understanding - in reality – recently, that to ''know
no man after the flesh'' but to see the Christ in every man is a wonderful step for all of us in the right

4


direction - & I am not insinuating that others are not further ahead than myself - in reaching the required
goal of being fully transformed. Also I am not making any wonderful claims, I am endeavouring to
follow the leading of the Spirit, as we all are, but I do feel wonderful faith & hope for the future. What a
wonderful mystery this is & of course the beautiful part is that it has been & is now being revealed more
greatly. Now we can read different writings all day long, but unless the hunger is there to do & to
understand the will of God it will mean nothing & we can never know any secret of God by reading only,
it will only happen if the Spirit touches us. If it does not come to you immediately do not be discouraged
for there is a time for everyone in this wonderful mystery that we have been & are being initiated into.

The Mystery Of The Plan Of Redemption!

''Now to Him Who is able to strengthen you in the faith which is in accordance with my Gospel and the
preaching of (concerning) Jesus Christ (the Messiah), according to the revelation (the unveiling) of
the mystery of the plan of redemption which was kept in silence and secret for long ages,'' Rom 16:25.
Amp. This is a most delightful mystery. The plan of redemption incorporates a wonderfully large scope
of aspects which we will now share what I consider are the most important of them.

For over thirty years I preached faithfully what I was taught in the denominational system until the
command of Christ came to me '' Come out from among them & be separate.'' & though I preached with
fervour what I had been taught, toward the end I began to have many doubts & now I am convinced that
when you first begin to come into the knowledge of the Most Holy Place we need to - leave our spiritual
father & mother - whether it be associations, churches or people, both physically & spiritually to be
taught of God. We need to be apart from the association of blind guides & be taught of God, the great
universal & eternal purposes of God, who does not lie, & cannot change, & who cannot be swayed one
iota in His purpose of wisdom from what He planned before the ages were ever formed or time began.

The following is from the pen of George Hawtin, it is exactly what I wish to say but I so very much like
the expressiveness our dear brother. ''It is beyond my ken & understanding how the existing church
systems can possibly pretend to be bringing the good news of the gospel to the people who dwell on the
earth. In spite of the plain teaching of scripture, which clearly states that God has reconciled all things
to Himself, the preachers shamelessly tell the people that ninety nine people out of every hundred will be
lost & go to a burning hell to suffer its raging fires & agonising tortures ceaselessly & eternally, without
hope & without God for time unimaginable, for what creature of time can possibly imagine eternity? This
they call the gospel & this they call the good news. I cannot possibly imagine any news that could be
worse than this, no not if my imagination were to run rampant day & night forever! And what is even
worse they willingly admit that God, being omniscient, must have known all this harm & loss, & yet for
all His love & omnipotence He did not deter or hinder it.

Furthermore we are asked to believe that the ignorance of the masses of mankind has no bearing on
their fate. We are supposed to believe that, though billions of Chinese, Indians & Africans through no
fault of their own have lived & died without knowing anything at all of God's Son, still they are
inexcusable. Then these poor, blind leaders of the blind try to tell us that this is the good news. It is
dreadful news. It is completely out of harmony with all that God is & all that God does. He who said,
''Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn,'' must surely have some concern for an even
higher creation. If no sparrow falls without His notice, are we not better than many sparrows?''

What we have just read is certainly an indictment against the beliefs & religiosity of the so called
Church. Now I will tell you the truth! The Mystery of Redemption includes every man, woman child,
baby, those with any disease, those with hardly any mind at all, Hitler, Stalin, Alexander the great,
whoever you wish to name, but there will have to be a change in everyone who comes to God & this is
what our Christ Jesus accomplished on the Cross by shedding His blood, & by raising up from the dead &
resurrecting. ''If I be lifted up from the earth - the cross & the resurrection - I will draw ALL men unto

5


me. Jn 12:32. Plus ''For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every
tongue shall confess to God [acknowledge Him to His honour and to His praise]''. Rom 14:11, Amp.
[Isa. 45:23.]

Many are inclined to think that there is no hope beyond the grave but the good news is found in 1st Pet
3:18-20. This is when Christ addressed the disobedient ones who rebelled in the days of Noah, Jesus went
to these once disobedient ones & proclaimed the truth of what He had accomplished through His death
burial & resurrection, then we read in Eph 4:8, that He took those who He had captivated with His
preaching & led a train of vanquished foes & ascended with them up on high, & this was all done not by
force but by the lover of lovers, the spirit of God Himself. But before He did this He had to descend into
the lower parts of the earth. And before we can lead any into a very high place we too will have to
experience a descent-ion & that is to forego what we think is our life & exchange it for the truth of the
Christ-life.
God who is no respect-or of persons, has not selected only some to escape this so called eternal hell,
but He has made provision for ALL MEN, For He will have all men to be saved. 1Tim 2;4. And might I
add that God always gets what He wishes for. For God is NOT WILLING that any should perish. 2 Pet
3:9. The thing that God is WILLING for all men is the blissful fellowship that is found in His love to be
for eternity & it is all found in the redemption. If God has a time for the angels that left their first estate
& sinned, to be judged, Krisis, then He has a time for all men. And might I also say that all the
judgements of God are remedial, & part of the Mystery of Redemption is that included in it, is the
RECONCILIATION OF ALL THINGS. Col 1:20. Here is a wonderful verse. ''And God purposed that
through (by the service, the intervention of) Him [the Son] ALL THINGS should be completely
reconciled back to Himself, whether on earth or in heaven, as through Him, [the Father] made peace
by means of the blood of His cross.'' Weymouth states. ''To reconcile the universe to Himself.''

False Causes of Banishment.

This what we are sharing now is further consolidation on the Reconciliation of all things. Here is a case
in point where Absalom had murdered his brother, not without good reason as far as Ablalom was
concerned. As far as David was concerned he deserved to be banished from his presence, if you do not
know the story it deserves a read as it is very involved & interesting. Absalom stayed with his
grandfather for three years but David did not invite Absalom to return even though he longed to go to him
- this is showing the heart of God - for reasons that we could only guess he did not. Now David's very
good friend Joab knew the situation & sent a wise woman Tekoah to talk to David & in the following two
verses uttered these words under the unction of the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Sam 2:13-14. ''And the woman
said, Why then have you thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king does speak this
thing as one who is faulty, in that the king does not bring home again his banished. 14 For we must
needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither does God
respect any person: yet does He devise means, that His banished be not expelled from him.''

I want us to understand & digest these words that are coming from the Almighty God. ''YET DOES HE
DEVISE MEANS THAT HIS BANISHED BE NOT EXPELLED FROM HIM.'' As far as I am concerned there
is no greater message than the redemptive message of the reconciliation of all things. God has a way, God
has a hope for us beyond a Hell. The following verse.

''Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for You: and they have not revealed Your iniquity,
to turn away Your captivity; but have seen for You false burdens and causes of banishment.'' Lam
2:14.
''Thy prophets have seen for thee a false and insipid thing, And have not revealed concerning thine
iniquity, To turn back thy captivity, And they see for thee false burdens and causes of expulsion.'' Lam
2:14.Youngs. This is a warning both for then & also a future prophecy for today. In other words, the
prophets of God have not preached the truth regarding sin, allowed anything in their assemblies, & on top

6


of that they preach false doctrines regarding burdens & eternal causes of banishment & expulsion. Which
originates & come from the Harlot & makes those who teach an eternal hell children of their mother. I am
glad to say that the opposite is the truth & that is that there is a process where in the finality God has
planned a glorious provision that is for ALL MEN through that wonderful Plan of Redemption. WHAT A
WONDERFUL MYSTERY.

The Redemption Of Our Bodies!

Now we have touched on this in the previous heading 'We Shall Not All Die.' In the 8th chapter & the
23rd verse of Romans we read 'And not only they, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the
Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption -
ransom in full - of our body.'

There seems to be a difference of opinion among some on this very verse, I can only tell you what I feel
the Spirit has revealed to me thus far. My understanding is that the body means the body that we touch,
feel, & walk around in. When we are told ''And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray
God your whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless to the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ.'' 1Th 5:23.Webster. I believe what I read. After doing research on this word in both verses. I feel
that as in the Tabernacle plan if the Most Holy Place represented our spirit, & the Holy Place represented
our soul, then I am simple enough to believe that the Outer Court represented our natural body, the one
that Paul told us that we were to present as a living sacrifice holy & acceptable unto the Lord.

In the book of 1Cor 6: 13-20. The word body is mentioned 8 times. Every one of them come from the
same word as in the two verses above & are from Strongs # G 4983. Please allow me to cite these 8
mentioned.
V 13. Now the body is not for lewdness, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. V15. Know ye
not, that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make
them the members of a harlot? By no means. 16.What? know ye not that he who is joined to a harlot is
one body? for two, says he, shall be one flesh. V 18. Flee lewdness. Every sin that a man does, is
without the body; but he that commits lewdness, sins against his own body. V19 What, know ye not
that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God, and ye are not
your own? V20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit,
which are God's.
In every case the word body is speaking about our natural body which is the Temple of God. I see no
reason in this case to try to change the understanding to say that it is anything other than our natural body.
Having said that I believe that we have more than a strong case to claim that when Paul mentions that the
redemption - or the ransom in full - is referring to a change & that it is referring to our natural bodies.
Now to some this may not sit right, but I wish to quote again, ''and I pray God your whole spirit and
soul and body may be preserved blameless to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.'' Why? Because
God wants to change it our body or metamorphose it into a body like the Lord Jesus appeared in to the
disciples, one that could eat fish & yet walk through walls, a body that could touch the disciples & yet
disappear & be in contact with another invisible realm. When Paul speaks & tells us to be patient as we
''await the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ the Saviour, Who will transform & fashion anew the body
of our humiliation - not our spiritual body - to conform it to & be like the body of His glory & majesty,
by exerting that power which enables Him even to subject everything to Himself.'' Phil 3:20b-21, I do
not need to be a Rhodes Scholar to understand what is meant by the body of our humiliation, it is this
body that we are living in now, the KJV refers to our vile body which means exactly the same thing.
Notice that the body mentioned is a vile body & not a spiritual body, also notice the that letters in vile are
the same as in veil but are changed in presentation, when the vile is changed in appearance we will then
see the whole truth regarding the veil.

Furthermore if we are to follow the pattern Son to the letter? We are also told in the Acts 2:27,

7


''because Thou wilt not leave my soul to hades, nor wilt Thou give Thy Kind One to see corruption;''
then to nail it down we read in verse 31 ''having foreseen, he did speak concerning the rising again of
the Christ, that his soul was not left to hades, nor did his FLESH see corruption.'' Then in Acts 13:36.
We read, ''that as David saw corruption,'' then in verse 37 we are told ''but he whom God did raise up,
did not see corruption.'' or did not experience putrefaction and dissolution of the grave. This also is what
is meant when we read that this ''mortal must put on immortality.'' What a message of Reconciliation.

This is what we are awaiting, the adoption, to wit, the redemption - or ransom in full - of our body.
Incidentally there is a difference between to being changed to spirit alone & being changed or transformed
into a glorious spiritual body. God alone is Spirit, but he prepared Himself a body in Christ, & to myself
it is ridiculous to suggest that He had nothing to do with the creation of that body, ALL THINGS ARE OF
GOD, Rom 8:20. And now the Father through Christ is in the process of enlarging that body He has
prepared for Himself. I am going to say Hallelujah for in this Mystery is the wonderful Plan of
Redemption. But as we mentioned before, Jesus was & is the last Adam, so there are really no more first
Adams.

Saints what a mystery we are being initiated into, Oh the wonder of wonders & it is never going to end,
but will become deeper & more glorious as the eons progress. I feel an urge to leave you with one more
encouraging verse.

''For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more
abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all
measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and
blessedness never to cease.] '' 2Co 4:17. Amp.

Another Voice From The Past!

Ambrose, 340-397 A.D. “Bishop of Milan; converted Augustine by his preaching; the Father of Latin
hymnology; reproduced many of the writings of the Greek Fathers.” 15

“The mystery of the Incarnation is the salvation of the entire creation...as it is elsewhere said, “the
whole creation shall be set free from the bondage of corruption”....So the Son of Man came to save that
which is lost, all, for as in Adam all die, so, too, in Christ shall all be made alive. The subjection of Christ
consists not in a few, but in all (becoming obedient)...Christ will be subject to God in us by means of the
obedience of all...(then) when vices having been cast away, and sin reduced to submission, one spirit of all
people, in one sentiment, shall with one accord begin to cleave to God, then God will be All in All.--
Ambrose.” De fide lib. v. 7. 16
