Another
Coffee Break:
A Revelation of God's Glory, Part 8
October 2, 2015
While
the parable of the ten virgins plays again into the picture of the release of
the Glory of God, we're going to take a different track today as we get back
into the picture we first drew with Adam and Eve of the union that God created
between them, and the union He has been building between us and the Lord Jesus
Christ.
For
that union to be built to the place where we are the reflection -- and the
completion -- of the Lord Jesus Christ, there must be some radical changes to
our nature, our personality, our makeup, the very essence of who we are. And that's where we take up with today's
discussion.
Revelation
3:12: Him that overcometh will I
make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will
write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which
is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I
will write upon him my new name.
I've
taken this verse out of its original context, so let me briefly take you to
that overall prophecy. This was a
statement made to the Ekklesia in Philadelphia -- the sixth of seven letters to
the seven Ekklesias in Asia Minor. These
seven letters comprise a single letter overall to the body of Christ, and
address a series of issues that still affect the body of Christ today. Each of the seven letters wraps up with the
promise "to him that overcometh," and each letter is
sequential in its promise from the first one to Ephesus, to the last one
addressed to Laodicea.
Each
promise to the overcomer adds a new dimension to the one previous. These seven letters begin with the rebuke to
Ephesus because they've been so caught up in doing good works that they've lost
their first love. (In fact, that same
issue affects several of the Ekklesias addressed in these letters.) They've turned their attention to the Tree of
the Knowledge of Good and Evil and are making decisions predicated on humanly
acquired reasoning and rational thought.
There's a whole lot more here than I want to even try to get into today
so let me simply summarize. The promise
to Ephesus is that if they will overcome their reliance on the Tree of the
Knowledge of Good and/or the Knowledge of Evil, the Lord will reopen the Garden
experience to them and give them to eat of the Tree of Life.
The
progression in the seven letters continues from there, and without recapping
each of the ones that follow, let me quickly move to the promise in the letter
to Philadelphia.
There
is so much contained in this one prophetic promise that it is almost mind-boggling,
so let's see what it looks like when we retranslate and amplify from the Greek
text.
He that overcomes [the temptation to rest on previous overcoming
and past victories] will I make to be a support (and a symbol of the Glory) in
the dwelling place of Yod Hey Vav Hey (Elohim), and from that place of dwelling
there will be no reason [or cause] to ever leave; and I will engrave within and
upon him the very nature, the character, the authority, the makeup, the very
essence of Yod Hey Vav Hey (Elohim), and the very nature, the character, the
authority, the makeup and the very essence of the city of Yod Hey Vav Hey
(Elohim), which is the new Jerusalem (*), which descends [to the earth] out of
Heaven from my Yod Hey Vav Hey (Elohim); and I will engrave within and upon him
my new (and completed) nature, character, authority, makeup and very essence. (Revelation 3:12, RAC Translation and
Amplification)
(*) Now,
put this together with Revelation
21:2: And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from
God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
This
isn't bad as a translation, but it still misses the whole picture. Let's try this one again:
And I, John, saw the holy, consecrated and set apart city [of
many people], the recently made and unprecedented Jerusalem, the city of double
peace (**), descending out of Heaven [to the earth] from Yod Hey Vav Hey, made
ready as the betrothed Bride, adorned, ornamented and embellished with honor
for her husband-to-be. (Revelation 21:2,
RAC Translation and Amplification)
I'm
starting to look like a broken record with these asterisks, but there is a
point to this.
(**)
A short history lesson, if you don't mind.
The picture of the "double peace" as the Hebrew translation of
Yerushalayim goes is based on David's capture of the city from the
Jebusites. The Jebusites had occupied
the fortress of Salem (Shalom) after Shem's death and renamed the city, Jebus,
after their father. Ironically, their
father's name had been, Jerus, meaning "foundations." Jebus meant "crushing," and that
was the military tactic of the father of the Jebusites -- hence the name change
given by Jebus' sons.
When
David took the city from the Jebusites, he restored Shem's original name of
Salem, but added to it the original name of the father of the Jebusites, Jerus
(pronounced "Yeroos"). Thus,
the City of David became Jerus-Salem, and the "foundations of peace"
were established in the now-combined ten tribes of Israel with Judah and
Benjamin, creating the nation of Israel with its capital.
That
was the first of the two pictures of peace.
The geographical city of Jerusalem lost its picture of peace when
Rehoboam (Solomon's son) disbanded the ministry of praise and worship in the
Temple at the urging of his counselors, and Jeroboam came up out of Egypt and
split the nation into two again, taking the ten tribes with him. Throughout the Psalms, David clearly had the
picture of Jerusalem as the City of God and as the heart of the Lord. In the years that followed after the division
of Israel, the prophet Isaiah made a unique distinction by referring to
Jerusalem in general as the people of God, but identifying Zion (where David
established his Tabernacle, and the Temple was later built) as a metaphor for
the Bride to come.
When
John, therefore, is given the picture of Jerusalem as the double peace, he is
drawing the analogy of reestablished, permanent peace, "the
peace that passes all understanding."
(Philippians 4:7)
Some
of you are looking cross-eyed at me wondering what all this has to do with the
Glory of God being revealed. This is a
quick illustration, but let me put it like this:
Once
you've been in or under the Glory of the Lord, you just don't want to
move. That's a bit of an exaggeration,
but the peace is so phenomenal that you NEVER want to leave it. I won't take time now to share some personal
stories, but let me simply say that whenever you have a time of very intense
intimate worship that continues on and on and on, you frequently experience the
Glory settling in over everyone in such a way that folks don't want to move,
they don't want to talk, and they just want to "soak".
Very
frequently, we launch into "soaking worship" as a fellowship. There is often a period of silence following
that worship such that no one says a thing, and everyone is just quiet before
the Lord, enjoying the enormous, indescribable peace.
OK,
I've kind of taken you down a rabbit trail for a bit in order to do some
clarification as to the translation and amplification from Revelation 3:12 and
21:2. Let's get back on track.
The
promise from Revelation 3:12 is for a transformation and radical change of our
character, our nature, our personality, our makeup, our identity and the very
essence of who we are. Consider the
change promised to the one who overcomes and gains victory over -- and I'll
take these in quick succession from the six letters up to this point -- the
Fear of Evil, the Fear of Death, the Fear of Man, the Spirit of Jezebel, the
Spirit of Compromise [we know it as "Democracy" in the body of
Christ] (and its companion, Legalism), and the tendency to rest on past
laurels, the overcoming one has achieved to this point, never mind the revelation
that comes with each of these areas of overcoming.
In
order to draw this characterization back to something we've shared in previous
Coffee Breaks, let's consider the message revealed in The Song of Solomon,
chapter 1, verse 5, along with the same message embodied in Jeremiah 8:21 in
which we see the statement repeated, "I am black."
As
already noted, this is a common Hebrew metaphor rooted in the extraction of Eve
from Adam's side, and the knowledge that for each of us God has created a
counterpart, an "other self" who completes and finishes our
makeup. In Jeremiah's prophecy (and he
draws pretty much the same picture in the sixth chapter), the Lord is crying
out for that people whom He created for Himself. Israel was a nation whom God had chosen,
blessed, protected, caused to multiply, set apart from every other nation on
earth to be the reflection of His Glory.
Israel was designed to become His counterpart in the earth and a
representation to the rest of the world of what could be available to anyone
who could and would walk by faith in and with Him.
The
cry of the Lord, therefore, in Jeremiah's prophecy is identical to the search
that continues to this day. The Lord was
speaking through Jeremiah and calling out for that people He had searched out
for Himself. The search was going forth
throughout the earth for that people. It
is the same search He has built in each of us for our counterpart, our
"other self" -- that one who completes and fulfills us (and that was
the message of the Shulammite in the Song of Solomon).
Revelation
3:12 is the completion of the search God has made on behalf of Jesus Christ for
His counterpart, His other self. Is that
clear so far? Then let me add to this
picture. Consider how Paul put it in
writing to the Romans:
Romans 12:2: And be not conformed to this
world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove
what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
The
Amplified Bible puts it even better.
Romans 12:2, AMP: Do
not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its
external, superficial customs [and
mindsets], but be transformed
(changed) [metamorphosed] by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its
new attitude [taking on the mindset
and manner of thinking of the Lord Jesus Christ],
so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and
perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and
perfect [in His sight for you]. (with my additions)
The
whole purpose of this metamorphosing is to change us back into that image in
which we were first created. But there's
more! You see, Adam and Eve were created
in the image and likeness of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. There is a difference, however, between Adam
and Eve, and that which we are being transformed into. Adam and Eve were imbued with the same
qualities and nature of God and they were given dominion over the earth. They had only one command or warning from the
Lord, and that referred to their NOT eating of the Tree of the Knowledge of
Good and Evil. What Adam and Eve DID NOT
HAVE was a Covenant. True, when they
were being evicted from the Garden, the Lord told Eve that her seed would crush
the Serpent's head -- and through that prophetic promise would come the
Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ.
What
makes our existence so different from Adam and Eve is that first of all, we
have a Covenant with Father, made on our behalf by the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a Covenant we can all freely enter
into, and it is a Covenant which guarantees our being changed, transformed,
re-created, molded and metamorphosed back into that perfect image and likeness
of Father, Son and Holy Spirit -- SO LONG AS WE RESPOND!
It
shouldn't be necessary to say this, but the Covenant that Jesus Christ made for
us is a Covenant we MUST enter into if we are to become partakers and
beneficiaries. Furthermore, this
Covenant was designed to fulfill the purposes of God which were set in motion
before time began. From the very
beginning, all of Creation was designed to bring into being, to grow and to
mature a species of being who would become the very family of God -- a species
of being unlike any ever created.
Creation was set in motion to grow and mature a people who would
overcome every conceivable obstacle, every temptation, every force pitted
against them, and choose an intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ
above life itself.
The
point of all this is that the Glory of the Lord is revealed in the earth,
throughout the Universe, and throughout all Creation. Holy Spirit brings Glory to the Lord Jesus
Christ through the teaching, the instruction, the filling up of us as a people
with the very presence and essence of the Lord God. Jesus brings Glory to Father because it is
through Him that these changes, and this maturing process all achieves the
destiny Father, Son and Holy Spirit set in motion when they agreed and said, "Let
us make man in our own image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion....."
We
need to talk about the changes Holy Spirit is working in us. Those changes are no small thing -- and it is
in those changes that the Glory of the Lord is being revealed. We are being changed from Glory to Glory.
And
that's where we'll go 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!

Coffee Break:
A Revelation of God's Glory, Part 7
September 25, 2015
Last
week we talked about the ten virgins in Matthew 25. We dealt mostly with the five wise, their
passion for the Bridegroom, and the oil of anointing that fed the flame of
their love. There's more, and we'll come
back to the five wise in a bit, but let's talk about the five foolish and why
they were rejected when they came back after trying to "buy" more oil
for their lamps. Here again is the
parable as Jesus shared it.
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.
Once
again, here is how the word in the Greek text defines the foolish virgins:
The
Greek word, moros, brings to mind the English term, "moron," (and
that IS where our English word comes from) which if frequently used
colloquially to refer to someone who lacks intelligence, (e.g., an idiot) or
someone who offends our sensibilities with totally illogical behavior. In fact the true definition of moros is: thoughtless, imprudent, without forethought or wisdom;
empty, useless. J. H. Thayer captures the real essence of how
this word occurs in the Word like this: one
who thinks he can operate outside of God's wisdom; one who neglects and/or
despises the
sozo offered.
It
is important to recognize that the foolish virgins were among those chosen for
consideration among the Bride. There was
real potential in them. They were
beautiful to look upon. They showed
passion. Their appearance was chaste and
their behavior to this point had been discreet and prudent. So what happened?
(1) Like so many believers today, they became
entangled with the affairs of this life.
The Bridegroom delayed His coming.
They got their focus on their own care, their livelihood and the ongoing
events of each day. I believe that (and
this is strictly an opinion) the Fear of Death overtook them. Why do I say that? The oil necessary to keep their lamps lit,
their passion alive and burning, comes with a huge cost.
(2) That cost comes in the form of what we know
as crushing. The picture of the oil in
the Word -- both Old Testament and New Testament -- is an oil derived by a
crushing process. Great pressure is applied. The Greek word for pressure is thlipsis. This is a word which Paul uses often in his
letters. In his letter to the
Colossians, Paul rejoices in the sufferings he is enduring, stating that there
was a necessity for him (and us, by analogy) to gain the anointing of the Lord
Jesus Christ by "filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions." (Colossians 1:24)
That
word, "afflictions," in the Greek text is, thlipsis. This is the same word that Jesus used when He
said, "These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye might have
peace. In the world ye shall have
tribulation; but be of good cheer: I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)
In
Acts 14:21-22, we are told: And when they had preached the gospel to
that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to
Iconium, and Antioch, Confirming the
souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and
that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
Here
again is the same picture. Get it? We MUST through much thlipsis enter into the
Kingdom of God! The ten virgins
absolutely HAD TO keep their lamps lit with that oil of anointing that comes
through thlipsis.
That
kind of pressure costs! The five wise
virgins paid dearly for the oil that kept their lamps burning. They paid with false accusations against
them. They paid with their reputations
being sullied by "the accuser of the brethren." They paid with their lives being put in
danger from time to time. They paid with
the betrayal of friends and would-be believers who turned their back on them as
being fanatics. Their devotion to their
betrothed Bridegroom was treated as "over the edge."
There
is one other thing that comes with paying the kind of price necessary for that
anointing oil: revelation! John opens up
the book of Revelation by declaring that it was "the
Revelation of Jesus Christ." We'll
talk more about this momentarily, but with the price that the five wise virgins
paid, there came an ongoing and continuing revelation of their coming
Bridegroom.
(3) The five foolish virgins simply could not
endure that kind of thlipsis. They succumbed to the Fear of Death and to
the Fear of Man. When faced with that
kind of cost, when faced with the loss of friends and reputation, when faced
with their lives being endangered and being put under attack, the crushing
ceased. They stopped producing the oil
necessary to keep the flame of their passion alive.
Consider
again the definition of moros: thoughtless,
imprudent, without forethought or wisdom; empty, useless. The five foolish virgins did not consider the
costs, and did not weigh the benefits of paying the cost. They were imprudent. They were without forethought or wisdom.
(4) We looked at this last week, and here it is
again. When the 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.
The
five foolish virgins were in disarray and sudden panic. No oil.
No flame burning. They were in
relative spiritual darkness. They had no
revelation of the coming Bridegroom. The
only thing they were aware of was that He was going to come. What He was coming for in a prepared
Bride-to-be was lost in their consciousness.
They were literally without the means to put themselves in proper order
or to adorn themselves as a ready Bride.
(5) Here's the tragedy of this picture. By having NOT paid the cost to have the oil
that would keep their flame alive, their actions demonstrated that they were
empty and useless. It defies any kind of
reason or rational thinking that they would have gone to the five wise virgins
and said, "Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out." Duhhh .....
Riiiggghhhttt!! "Let us
piggy-back on your anointing. Allow us
to skate by without having paid the price."
The
answer of the five wise was careful and judicious: Not
so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to
them that sell, and buy for yourselves. Why of course! The irony in this statement is inescapable!
Consider
what it cost them to have their oil.
That oil was not available in the marketplace! It wasn't something one could go and spend
money for and get across the counter. It
was tantamount to Simon the Sorcerer's request to Peter. Remember?
Acts 8 gives us the following picture.
Acts
8:5-24: Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria,
and preached Christ unto them. And the
people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing
and seeing the miracles which he did.
For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were
possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame,
were healed. And there was great joy in
that city. But there was a certain man,
called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the
people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: To whom they all gave heed, from the least to
the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
And to him they had
regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. But when they believed Philip preaching the
things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were
baptized, both men and women. Then Simon
himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and
wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria
had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: Who, when they were come down, prayed for
them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in
the name of the Lord Jesus.) Then
laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands
the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, Saying, Give me also this power, that on
whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said unto him, Thy money
perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be
purchased with money. Thou hast neither
part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of
God. Repent therefore of this thy
wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven
thee. For I perceive that thou art in
the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the
Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
You
see the picture, don't you? Simon, whose
first stage is that of one who is by nature, and by occupation a deceiver and
manipulator, is faced for the first time in his life with the real. We are told that he "believes and is
baptized." There's just one
problem. Simon may have accepted Jesus
Christ as the long-awaited Messiah, and goes through water baptism, but the
transformation of his character has not yet been changed.
Simon
sees what happens to people when they are baptized in the Holy Spirit. He sees that an instant transformation occurs
when Peter lays hands on people. What
Simon fails to understand because he is so caught up in the past ways of his
sorcery is that the gift of the Holy Spirit comes by yielding to Holy
Spirit. The gift of Holy Spirit is NOT
a commodity one can buy or sell. You CAN
buy it, but NOT with money. You buy it
with your surrender to Holy Spirit -- no matter the cost.
But
Simon pulls a "foolish virgin" stunt and thinks he can buy the Holy
Spirit. Riiiggghhhttt!! What Simon failed to realize is that the
presence of God in Peter's life had cost him everything! There was no amount of money that could take
the place of what Peter had paid in terms of his reputation, his persecution,
having his life under continual threat, having been jailed for being a
representative of the Lord Jesus Christ, having lost friends, his occupation,
etc., etc., etc.
What
is it with some folks that they think God is for sale to the highest
bidder? How do people come to the
conclusion that the "gifts" of Holy Spirit are for sale? The gift comes at the discretion of the giver
-- NOT the receiver!
In
this instance -- and we return to the picture of the five foolish virgins --
the response of the five wise virgins to "go ye rather to them
that sell, and buy for yourselves," has multiple facets. One might say that their response was a bit
tongue-in-cheek since there was no way that oil was going to be purchased in
the marketplace. On the other hand, it
also signified that a place was still available to them in the Kingdom. The Bridegroom's response to them was this, "I
know you not."
There
are two words in the Greek text that clearly delineate what the Lord was
saying. The first -- and this is the
word Jesus used -- is the word, eido.
The second word is, optanomai. The word, eido, indicates that He
didn't have intimate knowledge of them -- that there was no ongoing personal
relationship between the five foolish and Himself. The second word -- and this is NOT the word
that Jesus uses -- is the word, optanomai, and it denotes
the ability to see visibly, to see with one's eyes, to perceive by the seeing
with the eye. You get the difference,
I'm sure. There's a huge difference
between simply seeing someone, and recognizing someone you see because you know
them personally and have a real relationship together.
I
may have taken this discussion down a bit of a rabbit trail, but my objective
has been to make clear that a person can "get saved." They can be baptized in water. They can have their "fire
insurance" taken care of, but that in no way denotes having a real,
personal relationship -- an intimate, love relationship -- with the Lord Jesus
Christ. In the natural realm,
relationships are tested. Folks stick
with each other through the good and the bad.
They become inseparably linked together.
What
Jesus was making clear through the telling of this parable was that He has a
people who are inseparably linked to Him in a love relationship. They are folks who have paid the price of
relationship. Their walk with God has
been tested. They have responded -- not
reacted -- to every test and trial positively.
Their love for the Lord has only grown throughout the years.
This
is a people -- a bridal company -- who are continually being filled with Holy
Spirit because they continually give out that which is given. Their flame of passion burns brightly. No one who sees or knows them has any doubt
where they stand. These are a people
ready for the Glory of the Lord to be revealed.
And
there's more next week.
I remind those of you in need of ministry that our Healing Prayer Call
