The End:
Endure Unto The End: Revelation 22:21
Many so-called Christ-ians
are
not aware law "was" a
ministration of condemnation and
death, whereas grace
"is" a
ministration of righteousness and
life (2Corinthians3); Not to mention
law was a surely die lie,
as noted in John 1:17's allegoric comparison of law vs
grace, as
if lie vs truth:
Many pastors and priests are not even aware law had an expiry
date, and all law, everything written in stone and in ink, is done
away (1Cor 13; 2Cor3), abolished (Eph 2), blotted out (Col 2), taken
away (Heb 10), as by the "operation" of God removing such cancer in
time. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the
second: Law: press delete. Grace: press save.
Nor are many aware that it is not a matter of life + death
(grace
+ law), which is evidently a dead
end, but rather a matter of life or death
(grace or law); the Holy Bible ending with grace, life thereof, as
winner take all. For grace and law are contrary things which cannot
coexist in peace. They only combine as grace (is) + law (added).
Combined they make an oxymoron.
Many zealous seekers, even universalists, are still pretty law law,
comparing the two laws in Romans 8; And only so they can feel they are
better than others (kinda like holier than thou). When it's plainly
stated "there is no respect of persons with God", nor even with the Son
of God, who's the same
(yesterday, to day, and for ever): the "express" image, not the mirror
image of twain. What's best for us all, of good better best, is
to let law be the dead testator,
as intended. For thereby you
all (you and all the KofG within "you"), have a living end, as does a
living God (Spirit) of the living, instead of a dead end of a dead God
(Ghost) of the dead.
We are all in the New Testament of such Old/New, which is
called the
"better testament" of such good/better testaments and great/greater
things thereof. We are all living in AD now of such then/now of
such BC/AD. When it comes to good/better of old/new (then/now), we are
all the better one of twain;
Excepting those $ick, and to them we say: I
hope you feel "better" soon. Yet perhaps what we should be saying
is I wish you only the best of good better best.
I speak allegorically, for the Bible is allegoric.
The scriptures, which were "written aforetime for our learning" (Rom
15:4), are allegorical (Gal 4:24), and have a moral in the form of an
allegorical question and answer. Question: "what saith the
script-u-are" (of scriptures)? Answer: "cast out the woman and her
son", an allegory for cast out the law and the result of the law: sin
and death. The moral? No law (no sin): no dead end (sting of sin). It's
quite reason-able if law the strength (strong man) of sin, sting of sin
death (1Cor 15:56). Plug such into no sin is imputed when there is no
law (Rom 5:13), it reasons no law = no sin = no death.
To wit, "that
God" was in "Christ" (the end of the law) reconciling the world
unto himself,
not imputing their
trespasses unto them (not imputing any law, hence not imputing any sin,
hence not imputing any death), and hath given "us" the word of reconciliation
(2Cor 5:19). And there are many more proofs for the skeptics and
legalists, if they'd but even dare to compare the law/grace of Moses/JC
as lie/truth in Jn 1:17; or accusation/approval of Moses/JC law/grace
in Jn 5:45; or that perfect in Mt 5:48 is also merciful in Lk 6:36; and
law has no mercy. For all those who died under Moses's law died without
mercy (Heb 10:28; Jam 2:13).
The point being made is "grace is sufficient" (no law
req'd). For only
the law defines any thing a sin (crime) or any one a sinner (criminal);
so adding more law only adds more sin (crime) and sinners (criminals)
to the point all are sinners, none righteous, no, not one (God is one).
Is it any wonder then, that in the bible belt of Texas, having churches
on nearly every corner, there is also many jails (perhaps the most per
capita), and such are full of american criminals.
No law? How would there be any order? Indeed there would be
the second
and better of two orders compared in the Bible, the after of
before/after, the order (peace, rest) of JC being after the order of Melchesedic, for
by such law and order, even the priests died (Heb 7;23). Yet he whose
order is "after" such first order, which was as disorder, as adding dis to order by
adding "law worketh wrath" to "grace is
sufficient") is not dead, but alive for ever more. So, for those still
thinking there is any law in heaven, I say think again.
Understanding reigns in heaven, from a throne of grace. So,
Solomon the
wise guy exhorts: "with all thy getting (of wisdom, and there are two sorts of
wisdom), get
understanding". And as there are also two sorts of understanding,
Solomon clarifies in Pr 4 what sort to get, the sort which results in
thy head (allegory: head of every "man" is
"Christ": the end of the law, and his head is God: grace, understanding
thereof, is God) being crowned with "grace glory", the
exceedingly much more glory us one of twain glorys. And so
of twain blesseds,
the second and better sort is the man kind to which the Lord will not
impute sin.
Paul The Apostle, writer of more NT writings
than all other NT writers combined, has a theme prayer in his epistles
(which have a unique format):
that the God of
our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom
and revelation in
the knowledge of him: the eyes of your
understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his
calling (y'all come to repentance, so none perish), and what the riches
of the glory of his
inheritance in the saints, and what [is] the exceeding greatness of
his power (his power is the gospel: Rom 1:16) to us-wardbelieve
(grace is sufficient), according to the working of his mighty power,
which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set
[him] at his own right hand in the heavenly, far above all
principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that
is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come...
who
To come? Of good
better best, good/better law/grace have already come for both
them/us; as a twain shew, a comparative teaching of this/that to know
which is witch of all such things. Only the best of good better best is
yet to come, and as what's best for all (not some only). What's best is
no law, not even a mention of it in the end (no law: no dead end) of
the Holy Bible containing Old and New Testaments, where his angel (his witness unto
all men) plays
the last trump it in The End:
Revelation 22:21:
The
grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
(no mention of law: sin: death in "the
end" already written: Revelation 22:21)
