Another
Coffee Break:
A Revelation of God's Glory, Part 6
September 18, 2015
So
far in the past week, we've laid the foundation for understanding a fundamental
principle of our relationship with the Lord in the picture of being literally
created for him. Just as Eve was taken
out of Adam's side -- and Jesus is referred to as "the Last Adam" --
we also have been literally taken out of Jesus' side. We will get into this picture more, possibly
today, and maybe not until next week, but let's return to the prophetic cry of
the Lord as it was given by Jeremiah.
We
wrapped up last week by saying that when Jeremiah delivered his prophetic Word
to Israel, the Lord was literally crying out because of the search that was
going on for His people, desiring to be joined once again to that special
people He had chosen for Himself. They
were the reciprocal of the Lord in the earth -- and they had gone astray,
seeking after other gods.
Consider,
then, the prophetic parable that Jesus shares in the 25th Chapter of Matthew as
he talks about the ten virgins. In this
parable, the ten virgins are supposed to be a picture of a people prepared as a
bride-to-be and betrothed to the Lord.
Matthew
25:1-12: Then shall the kingdom of
heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to
meet the bridegroom. And five of them
were wise, and five were foolish.
They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with
them: But the wise took oil in their
vessels with their lamps. While the
bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
And at midnight there
was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed
their lamps. And the foolish said unto
the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so;
lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell,
and buy for yourselves. And while they
went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to
the marriage: and the door was shut.
Afterward came also
the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto
you, I know you not. Watch therefore,
for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Before
we get too far into this parable, let's define some terms used here in the KJV
as "wise" and "foolish" from the Greek words used in the
original text.
The
word used to describe the "wise" virgins is the Greek, phronimos, and it comes from
a root word, phren, which means: to rein in, to curb,
to discipline one's minds and feelings.
The word, phronimos, by extension,
means: to be thoughtful, discreet, cautious and practical. There's a whole lot here in this description
of the "wise" virgins, and we'll break this out momentarily.
In
contrast to "wise," the Greek uses the term, moros. We get our English word, "moron,"
from this term, but its true definition is: thoughtless,
imprudent, without forethought or wisdom; empty, useless. J. H. Thayer adds to this definition, one who thinks he can operate outside of God's
wisdom; one who neglects and/or despises the sozo offered.
OK,
so far? Good! Then, let's put these terms in the context of
Jesus' parable.
What
was it that defined the "wise virgins?" Let's see if we can enumerate what the
Bridegroom was looking for in His betrothed.
(1) They had their lamps lit, and an ample supply
of oil. Throughout the Word, the lamps
have been a picture of passion and pursuit of relationship. In Psalm 119:105, David makes the statement,
"Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." That passion with God tells you where you are
with Him, and it lets you know (by revelation) where you are going with Him.
The
oil is a picture of the anointing that comes by and through Holy Spirit. One does not come by that anointing
carelessly and heedlessly. It comes by
being in His presence -- NOT occasionally, NOT when one just feels like it, NOT
because you want something from Him -- because you love Him. You WANT to be with Him. You desire to KNOW Him. You crave what He wants. Your purpose is to know His very heartbeat,
to feel what He feels. Your aim is to be
everything that fulfills Him, everything that completes Him.
(2) The ample supply of oil -- the extra beyond
what was needed for the moment -- indicates that the "wise virgins"
were prepared for the possibility that the Bridegroom might not come when they
expected Him, and that they could not allow their passion and pursuit of His
presence to wane during any potential delay.
(3) There is an extraordinary aspect of this
extra oil that often gets missed in the reading of Jesus' parable. That oil cost them dearly! It cost them -- in many instances -- their
reputation, their occupations, their friends, their resources ..... all that
might have been dear to them in the natural!
One thing they absolutely had been required to set aside was their
plans, their reasoning, their thoughts, their doctrines and ideas. They had come to the place where it just didn't
matter what it cost them; having the Bridegroom's heart, having His best wasn't
just important: it surpassed every other consideration!
(4) When the announcing cry sounded, "Behold
the Bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet Him," the Greek text uses the term, kosmeo, to describe the
virgins "trimming" their lamps.
In fact, this term, kosmeo, literally means: to put in proper order, to decorate (both literally and
figuratively), to garnish, to adorn.
[We get our modern English word, cosmetics, from this Greek word.]
Again
we get a picture of the "wise virgins" who put their lamps and the
burning flame "in proper order," who "adorned and
garnished" themselves with their passion for the Bridegroom. You see, they were ready for Him! They may have nodded off in the delay
incurred before His coming but they knew He was glorious; every fiber and cell
of their existence and preparation for Him was that they would be an adornment
for that Glory.
I've
probably just scratched the surface of this so far, but let's consider the
"foolish virgins." Remember
the Greek term that describes them? Moros. Thoughtless, imprudent, without forethought
or wisdom.
(1) The sad commentary on these virgins is that
they were virgins. They started off
right! They had been seen by the
Bridegroom as someone desirable, someone with potential, someone with a destiny
who could be a part of His destiny, someone in whom there was passion and
desire.
The
problem was not in how they started, but the fact that they were so sidetracked
by their preconceived notions of when and how He would return for them that
they failed to spend the requisite time in His presence to really get to KNOW
Him, His heart, His desires, His plans, His purposes.
(2) These five "foolish virgins" actually
started off with oil. Their lamps were
lit. They displayed a passionate love
for the Bridegroom. [Let me draw an
analogy here that some folks may take issue with.] As we have noted, the oil is a picture of the
anointing that comes through and by Holy Spirit. It comes by being in His presence.
The
five "foolish virgins" yielded themselves to what we have come to
know as "the baptism of the Holy Spirit." They experienced the initial flow as Holy
Spirit took their yielded tongues and began to speak through them with the
tongues and languages of men and of angels.
The problem was that they stopped there.
They treated the experience as a goal or an objective to be reached in
their preparatory walk with the Lord instead of a gateway to intimacy. They received enough oil in their lamps to
have a flame burning with passionate love.
(3) Ephesians
5:17-20: Wherefore
be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is
excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing
and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Reading
the above passage in Greek can be a hilarious experience, but let me focus on
the express verbiage in the second half of verse 18, but
be filled with the Spirit! The Greek text looks like this: Plerousqe en
Pneumati. Literally translated, it becomes, Be
being (continually) filled and furnished in and by (Holy) Spirit. I'll continue with this translation and
amplification momentarily, but there's no such thing as a one-time experience
of being filled with Holy Spirit. This
is a continuing daily, moment-by-moment, hour-by-hour experience.
Baptism
in the Holy Spirit is an initial immersion which takes place when we yield our
tongues over to His control. He begins
speaking through us with words and languages that go far beyond our learning
and natural reasoning. He shuts down our
minds so that we are not partaking of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and
Evil, and causes us to begin eating of the Tree of Life and drinking from the
River of Life. Our minds may be going a
hundred miles a minute, but what is coming out of our mouths has absolutely
nothing whatever to do with whatever is going through our minds. It becomes a gateway to being continually
filled and experiencing a dimension of intimacy with the Lord that is not
available any other way.
I've
said all of that to say this: the "foolish virgins" failed to keep
filling their vessels with the oil of the Spirit. They never really got to KNOW the Bridegroom. He was a figurehead in their life, a goal to
be achieved, a future provider and source of provision, but not someone to know
and be known by at the level of the Spirit.
The concept of what it would cost them to be in that place of
continually being filled was foreign.
Let
me take just a bit more of Ephesians 5 before we move on.
Where
our English translations render the word lalountes (lalountes -- from laleo) as "speaking," in fact
the proper word in the Greek to use if we want to render this as "articulate, reasoned, thought-out speaking" should have
been legountes (legountes -- from lego).
The difference here is that the word lego
is articulate speech, whereas the actual word used, laleo, means: to utter a sound, to
use the tongue or the faculty of speech.
If
you're looking at me cross-eyed, thinking, what
difference does this make, let's be clear!
If I articulate words to you, I'm speaking out of forethought. My words are planned. I have reasoned out what needs to be said.
On
the other hand, if I'm just making sounds, what comes out is what Episcopal
Rector, Dennis Bennett, referred to in his book, NINE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING, as glossolalia, describing his experience of being baptized in
the Holy Spirit. They are words, all
right, but they are words NOT formed from my forethought or reasoning: they are
words in languages that I know nothing about.
What
Paul is saying, therefore, is this: "speaking (or singing) to yourselves
in Psalms (the praise or worship or intercession) written (mostly) by David,
[that which has already been set forth as music with words], hymns (NOT what we
have referred to as "hymns" from the hymnal) -- repetitive,
celebratory short songs or phrases, and spiritual songs [supernatural,
spirit-driven, divine utterances], singing and making melody (the Greek term
is, psallo, which means to pluck or strum on a
stringed instrument) in your heart (the Greek phraseology here is to agree in
your mind with what is coming forth by the Spirit) to the Lord.
Let's
see if we can assemble all of this in a cohesive sentence:
Don't be intoxicated with wine, but intoxicate yourself with the
Spirit, being continually filled and furnished [saturated and satiated] in and
with Holy Spirit, freely allowing your tongue to become His vessel in speaking
and singing to yourself the Psalms, celebratory, repetitive short songs and
phrases, and supernaturally given, Spirit-driven, divine utterances, singing
and playing upon an instrument, agreeing in your mind with what Holy Spirit is
uttering [beyond your natural abilities or learning]. (Ephesians 5:17-18, RAC Translation &
Amplification)
THAT,
folks, is how the five wise virgins kept their passionate and fiery love alive
for the Bridegroom. THAT is how they had
an ample supply of the oil of the Spirit.
There's
one other factor that I will touch on briefly, here, but we will dig into it
more next week. The oil that was used in
the lamps, as well as the oil in the Golden Candlestick in the Tabernacle of
Moses, was an oil which came from a crushing process. It is a picture of the crushing that takes
place in those who have the oil of the Spirit.
That crushing is necessary in us to get rid of all of our carnality so that
the Glory of the Lord can be revealed.
This
picture has a lot to it, and it is germane to the cry of the Lord as revealed
in Jeremiah's prophecy, so let's stop here and pick it up next week.
More
next week.
I remind those of you in need of ministry that our Healing Prayer Call
takes place on Mondays at 7:00 PM Eastern (4:00 PM Pacific). As of Monday, September 14th, our call-in
number has changed to (712)
775-7035. The new Access Code is: 323859#. Our previous conference line experienced
drop-outs and periodic audio quality issues, so this was a needed upgrade!
At the same time, in case you are missing out on real fellowship in an
environment of Ekklesia, our Sunday worship gatherings are available by
conference call – usually at about 10:45AM Pacific. That conference number is (605) 562-3140, and the access
code is 308640#. We hope to make these gatherings available by
Skype or Talk Fusion before long. If you
miss the live call, you can dial (605) 562-3149, enter the same
access code and listen in later.
Blessings
on you!

Another
Coffee Break:
A Revelation of God's Glory, Part 5
September 11, 2015
The
Glory of the Lord is a promise in the Word, first seen in Abraham, promised to
Moses and the children of Israel, and prophesied by David, Isaiah and
Jeremiah. When Jesus came as the
personification of that Glory, He both prayed and promised that His Glory would
be revealed in a people who were intimate with Him. In today's Coffee Break, and possibly the
next one or two, I'd like to deal with the preparation in us for the revealing
of His Glory as Jesus laid it out, Paul described it, and John was given the
demonstration in Revelation.
The
picture I'm about to draw for you begins in the Garden. It flows throughout the Word, often concealed
in "hidden manna" -- Hebrew metaphors with literally extravagant
depths -- in the Song of Solomon, and Jeremiah's prophecy. It is revealed in Jesus' parables,
demonstrated in Paul's epistles, and wept over in the seventh of the seven
letters to the Ekklesia in Revelation.
Watch!
Genesis
1:26-28: And God said, Let us make man
in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of
the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the
earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them,
Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have
dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every
living thing that moveth upon the earth.
The
very beginning for all of us was that we were first created in the image and
likeness of the Lord God! Get it? His image!
His likeness! Understand, too,
that when we read, "And God said," the Hebrew word used for God is Elohim. This is the plural of Eloah. The plural usage here designates Father, Son
& Holy Spirit, all working together in harmony, in complete agreement with
each other. Hence, the DNA is the
combined DNA of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
That may seem like a stretch to put it that way, but consider that
Father has His overriding dominion, His authority, His character and
nature. Jesus, on the other hand, has
the nature, the character, the very essence of the relationship between Father
and Son. Holy Spirit has the makeup, the
personality, the very nature which imparts, which teaches, which broods and
meditates and infuses the nature and character and essence of Father and Son
combined.
It
takes a revelation from Holy Spirit to get this picture, but it is a critical
picture. We were created in the image,
the likeness, the character, the makeup, the authority, the very essence of all
THREE IN ONE!!! Therein lies the mystery
of the Glory!
Notice
the very first declaration God makes over man:
"And let them have dominion over the fish of the
sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth,
and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."
There's
a word for you -- dominion! It comes
from the Hebrew word, radah, which means: to rule over, to tread down, to
subjugate; metaphorically: to take possession of, to
possess oneself of; and in lesser usage: to teach, to bring correction to, to discipline and bring
under subjection.
We
know without hesitation that absolute authority and dominion resides in Father,
Son and Holy Spirit. The authority and
dominion that resided in Adam and Eve was nothing shy of stupendous. Think about it for a minute. Adam was given the responsibility to imbue
every single one of some 50,000 species of animals, birds, reptiles, etc., with
their character, their nature and their personality. And he did it simply by speaking and
declaring over them. "And it was
so!"
But
that's only a tiny part of the picture.
Adam was first created. For some
unspecified period of time, he was alone.
Here's where it gets really interesting.
Adam had no counterpart, no "other self" with whom he could
share all that he was. Yet completeness
is in Father God, completeness is in Jesus -- OOPS, almost (but that's where
we're going with this series) -- and completeness is in Holy Spirit.
You
see, here's the catch. Adam was
complete, but in his completeness, he was incomplete. This brings us to the whole purpose of
Creation....mmmm....just hold steady, folks!
You'll see it as things unfold.
Watch what happens next!
Genesis 2:18: And the LORD God said, It
is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for
him.
It
is really
important for us to make a distinction here. God did not say, I will make him an
helpmeet. He said -- and I'm phrasing
this for you from the Hebrew text -- I will make someone who will
surround him, protect him, provide assistance and nurture him -- one who will
be his counterpart, his other self, one who parallels him, who is appropriate
to his character, his nature and makeup. (RAC Translation & Amplification)
Now,
God puts Adam into a deep sleep. The
Greek Septuagint uses the word, ecstasis, meaning: a state of ecstasy! Adam wasn't simply knocked out or put into
some kind of coma, the Lord places him into an ecstatic dream state. Then he opens Adam up, takes out a rib -- the
rib closest to his heart -- closes him back up and creates Eve.
NOW,
Adam is complete! With Eve, Adam now has
full expression. Consider this: They are a picture of unity. Yes, Eve is different than Adam -- in the way
she thinks, in the way she talks, in the way she arrives at conclusions -- and
yet, no two people could be more alike.
They share the same existence.
They are a part of each other.
Without Eve, Adam is incomplete.
Without Adam, Eve is incomplete.
They share the same purpose. They are best friends. Yet they are spiritual beings, created to
have fellowship with the Lord, our Bridegroom, without whom they would be even
more incomplete.
Consider
Eve. She is the perfection of Adam. No woman could more compliment and finish a
man. Yes, she is beautiful -- stunningly
so -- but, that is not our focus. She
has been given an independent mind with which to think. She has been given the independence to
choose. Were a thousand other men
arrayed before her, she would still choose Adam.
Why? Because she was literally taken from
him. She was extracted from his
side. Before she was, he was. Before she was, he saw her -- if only in his
spirit. Before she was, they were one --
but incomplete. Adam had no separate
feminine expression of his onoma.
He was forever bound to exist in only one dimension as a masculine
expression. There was no independent
expression of love and commitment towards him from a like being who could share
his thoughts, his desires, his hopes, his purposes.
Though
Adam was ruler over the earth, though he had been given power over every living
species, though he had been given the wisdom and revelation to identify the onoma of every living
creature, he had no one with whom to identify his onoma.
Eve
is like him. Yet, she is different. Full of grace and beauty, Eve is the
expression of all that Adam could not be.
Her onoma is his onoma because she was taken from his
side. His onoma is her onoma because he is in
her as she is in him. Without Adam, Eve
is terribly incomplete. Without Eve,
Adam is incomplete, lonely, unable to fully express that onoma which was bred
into his genetic structure when the Lord breathed those first breaths into his
being. Together, they make one whole
being.
Even
though the Adam walking here in the Garden is a picture of masculine greatness,
authority and power, he is only that way because Eve is here to complete
him. Remove Eve from the equation and
you have a man unable to be whom the Lord created him to be. Remove Eve, and his destiny will never be
fulfilled. Remove Eve, and you will have
a partial man.
Eve,
for all her stunning beauty, is incomplete without Adam. Remove Adam from this picture and you have
grace, form, stature, loveliness, compassion, love, emotional expression and
tenderness that will never be fully expressed.
There will be no counterpart with whom to express those facets; there
will be no recipient of her love; there will be no complete demonstration of
the power, authority and greatness incorporated into her onoma.
With
Adam, Eve is the personification of greatness.
With Adam, Eve is the complete expression of love. With Adam, Eve is the visible manifestation
of grace and power. With Adam, Eve is complete. With Adam, Eve is Eve!
With
Eve, Adam has greatness. With Eve,
Adam's authority can come forth. With Eve,
Adam can rule the dominion he has been given.
With Eve, love will go forth in the land. With Eve, Adam is Adam!
Together,
there will be a full expression and demonstration of the onoma that is Adam. Adam is not Adam without Eve. Eve is not Eve without Adam. Adam pours out his being to Eve. She reciprocates of her own free will and
choice. They are Adam.
And
now we are beginning to understand the mystery of our Bridegroom, Jesus
Christ. OK. Wait a minute. I'm getting ahead of myself. Can't go there yet.
We
all know what happened when Eve first ate of the fruit of the Tree of the
Knowledge of Good and Evil, and then Adam ate of it. There's a story here that I don't have time
to go into today. We see Adam displaying
the very redemptive nature and character of the Lord Jesus Christ as he
knowingly partakes of the fruit. Eve got
tricked by Satan, deceived and seduced into eating the fruit. Adam wasn't seduced. He wasn't tricked. He knew exactly what he was doing -- and
that's a fabulous story we'll look at some other time. The point of this is that because Adam and
Eve ate of the fruit in disobedience to God's command and warning, it set the
stage for Satan to bring division between man and woman, husband and wife, and
to pervert the very plan of God in the union between husband and wife.
There
is a stupendous Hebrew metaphor revealed in the Song of Solomon, and repeated
in Jeremiah's prophecy. The metaphor
occurs in the Song of Solomon, Chapter 1, verse 5, and it is revealed in the
statement, "I am black." This
statement is actually rooted in the understanding of how God extracted Eve from
Adam, how she was specifically designed for him, how the two of them were
incomplete without each other, and how the two of them completed each other. Following is an amplification of the Hebrew
text of this verse, along with an amplification of the metaphor. As a point of context, it is important to
understand that this is the Shulamite speaking.
(Without hesitation, she
responds.) "Although I am beautiful and desirable for him to look upon,
the real answer goes much deeper. There is a "search" that goes
on in the heart of every person -- a seeking after one's counterpart -- for
their "other self." I have spent my life searching for the man who
would be my "other self," knowing deep inside that when I found him,
an inner joining would occur, a linking up to form a whole person rather than
two partial beings. That inner joining occurred when we met and came to
know one another." (Song of Solomon
1:5, RAC Translation & Amplification)
What
most folks don't realize is that the Shulamite (the Hebrew is Shulammiyth, which is the
feminine form of Solomon) was referring to the fact that Solomon had chosen her
above every other woman. (Everyone knows
of the very extreme search that went on in Solomon for his counterpart, his
other self. I Kings 11:3 tells us that
he wound up with 700 wives and 300 concubines.)
In this passage, the Shulamite was expressing her completeness in
Solomon. As you read through the Song of
Solomon, it becomes clear that Solomon was likewise expressing his completeness
in the Shulamite. Her name comes from
the Hebrew, shalam, and literally translates to the following: to be at peace, to be safe, to
be completed, to reciprocate (and, by extension, to be the reciprocal of). See the picture of Eve? See the picture of the joining between Adam
and Eve and how they completed each other?
Then
consider Jeremiah's prophecy where the Lord is crying out.
Jeremiah 8:21-22: For the hurt of the daughter
of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on
me. Is there no balm in Gilead; is
there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my
people recovered?
Get
it? We have the same exact metaphor
occurring here. The Lord had chosen
Israel as His people in all the earth.
He extracted them from Egypt in the midst of a great deliverance from
the most powerful army on the planet at that time, gave them incredible wealth
and provision, provided for them supernaturally during the 40 years they were
in the wilderness and gave them spectacular victories as they entered the land
He had promised to give them as their perpetual inheritance in the earth.
He
chose them, not because they were the greatest and mightiest nation on earth --
and in fact they were the least of all nations when chosen -- but because it
provided the opportunity for God to demonstrate once again in the earth what
other nations could have, with a people who were His people, joined in a
marriage covenant to Him, designed and destined to be His counterpart, His
other self in the earth!
When
Jeremiah delivered his prophetic Word to Israel, the Lord was literally crying
out because of the search that was going on for His people, desiring to be
joined once again to that special people He had chosen for Himself. They were the reciprocal of the Lord in the
earth -- and they had gone astray, seeking after other gods.
We
still have a considerable ways to go with this picture, so let's stop here and
pick it up next week.
More
next week.
