Jesus Christ - Leading His Chosen to the Promised Land which would Ultimately become his Body!


This past week celebrated the Festival of Sukkot where the long journey of the Israelite's in the desert was reenacted. In the journey through the desert God's presence was evident by a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night – Exodus 13: 21-22


The journey through the desert wasn't just a forced march of judgment by God but a prophetic declaration of the appearance of God's son Jesus Christ in human form that would come later. Jesus Christ is God incarnate who was with his chosen believers in the desert as the pillar of cloud and pillar of fire and then in physical form later as the person of Jesus Christ who is God become man.


The Pillar of Cloud and the Pillar of Fire that led the Israelite's in the desert to the promised land was the same Jesus Christ who appeared later in physical form as God incarnate! Consider that the 12 Apostles represent the 12 tribes of Judah (hint: 12 tribes of Israel) and Jesus Christ is again the same Pillar of Fire and Pillar of Cloud leading them to a new promised land in heaven.


Jesus Christ was the pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire that led all the Israelite's in the desert to the promised land of the Old Covenant and today is once again leading his believers to a new promised land in heaven but this time a Promised land of the New Covenant.


For all those who believe in God's son Jesus Christ's Jesus will lead his believers through the valley of death back to eternity – Psalm 23. Eternity in heaven is the true promised land with God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit.


When we (hint: those who believe in Jesus Christ) stand before Jesus Christ in heaven we will be both in the presence of the Old Covenant promised land (hint: the body of Jesus Christ) and the New Covenant promised land ( hint: A New Covenant of spirit in heaven!)


God said that he will lead all of his faithful to the promised land and that promised land is Jesus Christ, God's only Son, in bodily form in heaven!


When Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead he took the Old Covenant Promised Land with him up to heaven. Jesus Christ's body was made from the dust of the ground of the promised land which Jesus led his followers too as the pillar of cloud and pillar of fire. The march in the desert was Jesus Christ selecting the parcel of earth called the Promised Land that would ultimately become his body!


This parcel of land, that would become the promised land and the body of Jesus Christ, had to have NO other claims on it by anyone, especially Satan. Since God's son Jesus Christ will use this ground to become his earthly body God's Covenant with Abraham was God insuring that there would be no other claims on the Holy Ground by anyone except God the Father!


Believe in the death and resurrection of God's son Jesus Christ, God become man, and rest assured that you'll be in the spiritual promised land of the New Covenant and be forever present with God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit.


God Bless

note:


When Jesus Christ was put on trial, and then crucified, the people were ultimately rejecting their very own promised land! Since Jesus Christ was sinless the small piece of the promised land that made up Jesus Christ's body was also sinless. Jesus Christ's body was their sinless Promised Land with no other claims on it except by God the Father, which the people put to death.


When we believe in Jesus Christ we become one with Jesus thereby nullifying all other claims on us, especially by Satan. Becoming one with Jesus Christ restores us to the Promised Land (hint: becoming one with the body of Jesus Christ) where only God has any claim on our body and spirit!


Satan will use the mark 666 to mark his claim on those who forfeit their salvation with Jesus Christ!


Amen
