One of the things mentioned in my last blog, was about the church, THE BODY OF CHRIST, coming together in the Spirit of unity not seen yet. What I am referring to is the unity of the spirit and the unity of the faith. In Ephesians, Paul speaks of us, the church, arriving at the same maturity that is found in the Messiah.
In fact here is the reference, [That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ’s own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him. So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead. Ephesians 4 vs 13 - 14.
The church, in her present state is, far from where she should be. Even as the Israelites rebelled, sought their own ways, were proud and boastful, so too, the body of Christ has behaved and conducted itself. The Lord uses punitive measures to bring about redemptive purposes amongst His people. When they wander from Him, rejecting His ways, He brings corrective measure to bring us back on track, even if that means years and years of time lapse.
The wilful disunity and fragmentation that exists amongst the body of Christ, will be dealt with in a way that will see the church repent and come to this place of oneness or unity. The Lord Jesus own request of His Father shall come to pass. ( See John 17 )
The final time of tribulation will be the time when much is accomplished in the life of the church and the nation of Israel. The mystery of Israel and the church will be clearly seen for what God intended it to be, a people being formed TOGETHER, to become a SINGLE habitation, a fixed abode for God by His Spirit ..... Halleluyah .... You can expect this to happen, the grace of the Lord be with you all.
