is an examination of the churches or assemblies of Revelation 2 and Revelation 3 , and that in fact they are NOT the Body of Christ. But future assemblies of Jewish believers that will be HERE, on earth, after The Harpazo, after the Body of Christ has been caught up to meet The LORD in the air. The letters to these assemblies, when read carefully, differ immensely from the Pauline epistles. The Revelation Epistles are addressed to servants and speak of works and judgment, while the Pauline Epistles are addressed to SONS and Daughters and speak of our standing IN Christ, as His Body, by GRACE. And it was to the Apostle PAUL, not tp the 12 Apostles, that the Mystery was shown and explained.
Therefore, The Ecclesia, The Church of the Dispensation of Grace, is the BODY of Christ, and cannot be Israel, or the Wife, OR The Bride. For we are part of the BrideGROOM. We are IN Christ. This is the MYSTERY that was withheld, and hid IN God, from ALL of the prophets, and revealed to the Apostle Paul. We are even NOW forever connected to the GROOM, IN Christ and He in us.
Teachers sure have not clarified the body from the bride well. No wonder Prederist are having so much success and so much confusion in the church/body!
I know a Prederist and he is a pastor too. This really concerns me because my confidence in him is weak. Sorry I got diverted. I have been two months studying Romans chapters 7 and 8 which are such wonderful writings from Paul who clarifies from Scripture that we are IN CHRIST when we believe.
I've now gone through the teachings " The Body,The Bride,The Wife and scriptures and praying for the HS to open my eyes and thinking. Now having gone through again the 7 videos so far re. this subject it is PERFECTLY clear what you are revealing to us, who have been sloppily, if I can use that term, Rightly Dividing the Word!! So much ignorance in the Body and with men coming out of seminary and much instruction, including Historical background this should not be! Seems something sinister by some and ignorance by other. I speak of the seminaries!!
Why is it man will believe UFOS, Aliens can come down from the heavens, but not believe God when He delares a heavenly city will come down. Maybe they need more Star Trek or Star Wars to inspire their carnal minda! lol It's incredible how man chooses to be blind to what he doesn't want to believe.
even before I found grace teachings .. the BRIDE doctrine didn't make sense to me .. if we are a part of JESUS (his body) then is he going to put a wedding dress on and marry himself? didn't make sense that we are 'the body' and 'the bride' .. but since I've come across teachings that made it clear and in Revelation alone by myself reading it I knew the bride was ISRAEL not just the NEW JERUSALEM but the PEOPLE that will LIVE there!
of course we don't know everything that is going to happen during the future .. just as we don't know how the day will play out at present and God wants it that way .. it's called living life as we go along second by second.
thanks for a good comparison of THE BODY and THE BRIDE .. it's great!
