AUG 11/14: "Consider New Research On:
THE BRIDE OF CHRIST - For your info, we are studying with detail and depth on the Church and Israel. With so much confusion on the topic of Sexual Orientation in our culture today, you may find this 7 - part audio / video (with slides) series by Pastor Karl Tester interesting. He assists the church to find more authority and power for its male-identity in the Body of Christ as the Man-child of Rev. 12:1-5; 2:26;3:21. As well he assists the Redeemed Israel of God in Gal. 6:14-16; and Rev. 19:9; to find their identity and clarity as the woman or female Bride of Christ. If you are interested, you can find his teaching series @ http://truthinhistory.org/the-bride-of-christ.html "

PREAMBLE - CHRISTIAN UNITY IN DIVERSITY:
1Co 12:4 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
1Co 12:5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord.
1Co 12:6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.
Clarity On Unity Begins Under The Head Jesus Christ
Eph. 1:15 Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
Clarity On Unity Begins In Each One Who Attends Church On The GO
Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

Then the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were edified. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
Greet one another with a holy kiss. The churches of Christ greet you.
But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the churches.
But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also:
The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia:
And we have sent with him the brother whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches,
and not only that, but who was also chosen by the churches to travel with us with this gift, which is administered by us to the glory of the Lord Himself and to show your ready mind,
If anyone inquires about Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker concerning you. Or if our brethren are inquired about, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.
Therefore show to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love and of our boasting on your behalf.
I robbed other churches, taking wages from them to minister to you.
besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: my deep concern for all the churches.
For what is it in which you were inferior to other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong!
and all the brethren who are with me,
To the churches of Galatia:And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ.
For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans,
so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure,
John, to the seven churches which are in Asia:
Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne,saying, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
“The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” ’
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.” ’
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” ’
“I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’

Ephesians 4: 11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

“Go thereforefn and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
The Local Churches Or Spiritual Families
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, (ESV)
from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
Greet one another with a holy kiss. The churches of Christ greet you.
And we have sent with him the brother whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches,
and not only that, but who was also chosen by the churches to travel with us with this gift, which is administered by us to the glory of the Lord Himself and to show your ready mind,
and
all the brethren who are with me,
To
the churches of Galatia:
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” '
“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”
The Family Of God, Body Or Bride Of Christ
On Both Sides Of The Present And Eternity
Born Again - Local Church - Universal Church
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, (NKJV)
from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,
Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to mefn and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife.”
And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.
In Conclusion: Our Union Or Life Is In HIS Blood
As Believers As Children As Family
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
‘For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.'
20 Things the Blood of Christ Does For His Children
1. It remits sins (Matt. 26:28).
“For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
2.
It gives life to those who consume it (John
6:53).
Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.
3.
It causes us to dwell in Christ and He in us
(John 6:56).
“He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.
4.
It is the means by which Jesus purchased the
church (Acts 20:28).
“Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.
5.
It is the means by which Jesus becomes our
atonement through faith (Rom. 3:25).
whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,
6.
It justifies us and saves us from wrath (Rom.
5:9).
Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
7.
It redeems us (Eph. 1:7;
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
1 Pet. 1:18-19;
knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers,
but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
Rev. 5:9).
And
they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to
take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For
You were slain,
And have redeemed us to God by Your blood
Out
of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
8.
It brings those who were far away from God
near to Him (Eph. 2:13).
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
9.
It grants us the forgiveness of sins (Col.
1:14).
in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
10.
It brings peace and reconciliation to God (Col.
1:20).
and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
11.
It has obtained eternal redemption for us (Heb.
9:12).
Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.
12.
It cleanses our conscience from dead works to serve
the living God (Heb. 9:14).
how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
13.
It is the means by which we enter the most holy
place with boldness (Heb. 10:19).
Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,
14.
It speaks a better word than the blood of Abel (Heb.
12:24, NIV).
to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
15.
It sanctifies us (Heb. 13:12).
Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.
16.
It makes us complete for every good work (Heb.
13:20-21, NKJV).
Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
17.
It cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7).
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
18.
It bears witness in the earth along with the Spirit
and the water (1 John 5:8, KJV).
And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.
19.
It is the means by which Jesus washes us (Rev. 1:5;
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood,
Rev. 7:14).
And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
20.
It is the means by which we overcome the accuser of
the brethren (Rev. 12:11).
“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
Summary:
Thank God for the “precious” blood of Christ . . .
the “sprinkled” blood of Christ . . . the blood of
“the new covenant” . . . the blood of “the
eternal covenant” (1 Pet. 1:19;
but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
Heb. 12:24;
to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.
Luke 22:20;
Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.
Heb. 13:20).
Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
“The
life is in the blood” (Lev. 17:11).
‘For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’
Do you want this LIFE, through the BLOOD OF JESUS today?
Cry out – call upon Him – with all of your heart and soul RIGHT NOW in Jesus Name!
YOU can become a partaker in the THREE FOLD Revelation of God today.
Let’s Pray!

(Revelation Of Christian Unity – Part 3 Of 3)
From Glory To Glory To Save You
|
For
I am
with
you,' says the LORD,
‘to save you; |
From Glory To Glory - Daughters Of Zion
|
And in
that day seven
women shall take hold of one man, saying,
|
|
|
In that
day the Branch of the LORD shall be beautiful and
glorious; |
|
|
And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy—everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem. |
|
|
When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning, |
|
|
then the LORD will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a covering. |
|
|
And there will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat, for a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain. |
To Save You – Daughters Of Zion – Daughter Of Zion
You – Local Churches – Universal Church
|
I have
likened the
daughter of Zion |
|
|
“Arise
and thresh, O
daughter of Zion; |
|
|
Sing, O
daughter of Zion! |
|
|
“Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” says the LORD. |
|
|
“Rejoice
greatly, O
daughter of Zion! |
|
|
“Tell
the
daughter of Zion, |
|
|
“Fear
not, daughter
of Zion; |
“Zion” in the Old Testament was the center of David’s Kingdom, a type of the New Testament Church – You – Local Church – Universal Church
Religious (Priestly)
Political (Kingly)
|
and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. |
|
|
And have
made
us kings and priests to
our God; |
The Hebrew word for “daughter” is (Strong’s #1323 – “bath”
|
Transliteration bath |
Pronunciation bath (Key) |
|
Part of Speech feminine noun, proper feminine noun |
Root Word (Etymology) |
Meaning – (Strong’s #1129) – “banah”
to build, rebuild, establish, cause to continue
This is the feminine form of – (Strong’s #1121) – “ben”, the Hebrew word for “son”.
The term “Daughters Of Zion” is used to describe a circle of female relatives.
Jesus Christ is the Head of the woman, the Church, His Bride
For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.
Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,
that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,
that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.
So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.
For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.
For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.
“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”
This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
“Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.”
Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”
With respect to His corporate Body with its many local expressions, He declares,
“And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
Jeremiah described the Bride of Christ
I have likened the daughter of Zion
To a lovely and delicate woman.Jesus is the “salvation” who has come to us …
|
Indeed
the LORD
has
proclaimed |
|
“And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.” |
Jesus has been given all authority
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Jesus has the “first dominion”
And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem. (KJV)
Jesus fulfilled Zechariah’s prophecy …
“Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your King is coming to you;
He is just and having salvation,
Lowly and riding on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
“Tell the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your King is coming to you,
Lowly, and sitting on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.’ ”Hebrews declares a New Testament people to be as Mount Zion …
But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels,
to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,
to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.
For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman.
But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise,
which things are symbolic. For these are thefn two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar—
for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children—
but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.
For it is written:
“Rejoice, O barren,
You who do not bear!
Break forth and shout,
You who are not in labor!
For the desolate has many more children
Than she who has a husband.”Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now.
Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.”
So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.
Every believer who is a part of Christ’s universal Body should be a functioning member of a local body or a local church
For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.
For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink intofn one Spirit.
For in fact the body is not one member but many.
If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body?
And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body?
If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?
But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.
And if they were all one member, where would the body be?
But now indeed there are many members, yet one body.
And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”
No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.
And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty,
but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it,
that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.
And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
We are not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together
And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Christians show forth His praise in the gates of their gatherings
That I may tell of all Your praise
In the gates of the daughter of Zion.
I will rejoice in Your salvation.Sing, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem!Jesus has redeemed us from the hand of our enemies
Be in pain, and labor to bring forth,
O daughter of Zion,
Like a woman in birth pangs.
For now you shall go forth from the city,
You shall dwell in the field,
And to Babylon you shall go.
There you shall be delivered;
There the LORD will redeem you
From the hand of your enemies.Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”
that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Isaiah described this season of the Church’s restoration as a time …
When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning,
Today are you ready to accept the “Daughters Of Zion”? Are you ready to enter fully into the threefold revelation of Christian Unity – You – Daughters Of Zion – and the Universal Bride Of Christ In Heaven And Earth?

“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.” |

And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. |
Let’s Pray!
