Gen. 6:7-8
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
God is a gracious and merciful, but God is also holy and just He will not strive forever with a people who no longer listen and seek His grace. God destroyed once the earth with a flood and was satisfied to start over with a family of eight. What does this tell us about how God Works? Maybe it has come to this again for the failure of man now unable to listen to Gods voice or to find Gods grace. Has the church failed to teach or to listen to Gods calling and direction? Lost souls are dyeing and going to hell for the lack of mercy from some Christians to give a word of encouragement or to share the faith because of an attitude of holier than thou. We all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
1 Co. 14:6 How can I be of benefit to you unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?
God is coming for His bride the high price has been paid. That’s the whole story of the Bible and what it’s all about. Not building great church buildings or large ministries on the backs of blinded sheep. If we lose sight of the fact that God said he will have a people, we miss the whole point of scripture, and the plan and purpose of God. We should not be devoting so much time and energies in trying to attain things from God, or in getting our doctrines in agreement with one another, or in building large congregations and bigger buildings, but in seeking the face of our bridegroom. Has the bride made herself ready? Ah, that’s the key. Yet, not I, but Christ who lives in me by His grace alone I am what I am. God planned for man before His fall a way back to Him.
The first Adam was made at the hands of God. From his side came forth his bride. Follow this so out of a man came a woman. Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary. She was conceived by the Most High God when the Holy Spirit came upon her. Lu. 1:35
Mary is a type of mother church. The Holy Spirit brought forth a spiritual Son, the only begotten of the Father. Mary was chosen because she found favor with God (GRACE). Lu. 1:30
Thus: Out of the woman came a man. Then Jesus died on the cross and shed His precious blood. From His side flowed both water and blood and in so doing He gave birth to the church. Follow this now, out of the man came a woman. Now in the last hour, God intends to repeat the cycle as the mother church according to revelation 12, travails in childbirth to bring forth the man child.
Jesus is the Son of God. Now God is revealing many sons brought to glory. Thus: Out of the woman came a man child. Then in the cycle, this man child will give birth to that prepared bride who is without spot or wrinkle or any such thing. Out of the man came a woman, the bride.
1. Out of the man came the woman: Eve
2. Out of the woman came a man: Jesus
3. Out of the man came the woman: Church
4. Out of the woman came the man: Man child—a many membered son.
5. Out of the man came the woman: The bride of Christ.
As it was in the beginning so shall it be in the end. From Passover to Pentecost to Tabernacles (Zion). Zion is a mountain in the believing heart where the tabernacle of God resides and Jesus Christ is enthroned.
When in the sight of God, a man is joined to his wife, they two become one flesh. The bride of Christ is one with Christ, made ready before He comes. She becomes Him, abiding in Him and He in her. When God reproduces children, He reproduces children after His own kind—seed of His seed.
The mother church therefore, being one with God, is bringing forth children of the God-kind. So, God is coming for Himself. He will catch up unto Himself and unto His throne those who bear His image, those sealed by His angel who are seed of His seed, sons of God. He, who has ears to hear, let him hear what the Spirit of Truth says.
