God s Original Intention
DECEMBER 1 GOD S ORIGINAL INTENTION In Genesis Chapter 2 there are three categories of precious things. Why are there God Is Triune! exactly three and not two or four? It is because God is Triune the Father, the Son, and the Spirit!
DECEMBER 2 GOD S ORIGINAL INTENTION Gold, Bdellium and Precious Stones In typology, gold always signifies the nature of God the Father, bdellium signifies the produce of the overcoming death and life-secreting resurrection of God the Son, and the precious stones signify the issue of the transforming work of God the Spirit.
DECEMBER 3 GOD S ORIGINAL INTENTION How to be Transformed? How could we who are the muddy human beings be transformed? It is by God the Father s golden nature, by God the Son s death and resurrection, and by God the Spirit s transforming work.
DECEMBER 4 GOD S ORIGINAL INTENTION What Are You? If I ask whether you are gold, bdellium, onyx stone or mud, it would be hard for you to answer because you are in between. You are the mud with a little gold. You are the mud with some amount of bdellium. You are the mud with some amount of precious stone.
DECEMBER 5 GOD S ORIGINAL INTENTION The Question! But let me ask you: Don t you have God the Father s nature? Are you not in the death and resurrection of God the Son? Are you not under the transforming work of God the Spirit?
DECEMBER 6 GOD S ORIGINAL INTENTION The Answer! To these questions you can boldly answer yes! You can even boast that although you are muddy you have God the Father s nature in you. You are in the death and resurrection of God the Son. You are under the transforming work of God the Spirit!
DECEMBER 7 GOD S ORIGINAL INTENTION The Transformation! We are all under the transformation today. Hallelujah, we are the people under God s transformation! One day we will be fully transformed into the gold, bdellium, and precious stones!
DECEMBER 8 GOD S ORIGINAL INTENTION One day we will be the Bride constituted with these three precious elements to be God s Original Intention! ready (Revelation 19:7). This is God s original intention revealed in the first two chapters of the Bible.
DECEMBER 9 GOD S ORIGINAL INTENTION Let us rejoice and exult, and let us give the glory to Him, for the Revelation 19:7 marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.
The Ultimate Consummation of God s Intention
DECEMBER 10 The Ultimate Consummation! Now we come to the last two chapters of the Bible where we find the ultimate consummation of God s intention.
DECEMBER 11 The Consummate Tabernacle of God! God s intention will have a consummation, which will be the New Jerusalem, the consummate Tabernacle of God as His Bride (Revelation 21:2-3), bearing His glorious image to express Him (Revelation 21:11).
DECEMBER 12 Revelation 21:2-3 And I saw the holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a Bride adorned for her Husband. And I heard a loud voice out of the Throne, saying, Behold, the Tabernacle of God is with men, and He will tabernacle with them, and they will be His peoples, and God Himself will be with them and be their God.
DECEMBER 13 Having the glory of God. Her light was like a most Revelation 21:11 precious stone, like a jasper stone, as clear as crystal.
DECEMBER 14 Revelation 21:18-21 And the building work of its wall was jasper; and the City was pure gold, like clear glass. The foundations of the wall of the City were adorned with every precious stone... And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates was, respectively, of one pearl. And the street of the City was pure gold, like transparent glass.
DECEMBER 15 In that consummation, there is no more mud, no more dust. The New The New Jerusalem! Jerusalem is built of gold, pearl, and precious stones (Revelation 21:18-21)!
DECEMBER 16 The Transformation! All the dust and mud have been transformed! In Revelation we can see the same things as in Genesis gold, pearls, and precious stones.
DECEMBER 17 The only difference is this: the bdellium in Genesis Chapter 2 is a kind of resin, a The Bdellium Pearl! gum congealed into a plant pearl. This means it is a kind of pearl which comes from the produce of the plant.
DECEMBER 18 But the pearls in Revelation Chapter 21 are pearls from the animal oyster. In Genesis it came The Oyster Pearl! from the plant, and in Revelation it will come from the produce of the animal.
DECEMBER 19 Plant life in the Bible signifies the producing life of Christ, The Plant Life! and animal life signifies the redeeming life of Christ.
DECEMBER 20 No Need of Redemption In Genesis Chapter 2 there was no fall of man and no sin, so there was no need of redeeming.
DECEMBER 21 The Redeeming Life! But in Revelation after the fall and after sin had entered there was the need of the redeeming life of the animal. That is the significance of the death and resurrection of God the Son!
DECEMBER 22 The New Jerusalem! The New Jerusalem will be built up with God the Father s divine nature, with God the Son s death and resurrection, and with God the Spirit s transformation. That will be the universal Bride to satisfy God s desire for His eternal expression! This is the consummation of God s intention!
DECEMBER 23 God s Divine Intention! In the first two chapters of the Bible there is God s intention, and in the last two chapters of the Bible there is the consummation of God s intention!
DECEMBER 24 The Goal of God s Dispensation! Both sections show you the goal of God s dispensation, a Bride to be His counterpart, His expression!
DECEMBER 25 God s dispensation began from Adam and has been going on through all the generations. It will God s Ultimate Goal! consummate in the New Jerusalem where we can see the goal of God s dispensation!
DECEMBER 26 Today we need to contact the Triune God to be supplied and nourished with the divine life as the Contact the Triune God! River of Water of life and as the Tree of Life (Revelation 22:1-2).
DECEMBER 27 Our Cooperation with the Triune God! We need to contact the Triune God that we might be transformed with the Father s golden nature through the Son s death and resurrection and by the work of God the Spirit. We need to cooperate with the Triune God!
DECEMBER 28 And he showed me a River of Water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of Revelation 22:1 the Throne of God and of the Lamb in the middle of its street.
DECEMBER 29 Revelation 22:2 And on this side and on that side of the River was the Tree of life, producing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the Tree are for the healing of the nations.
DECEMBER 30 And there will no longer be a curse. And the Throne of God Revelation 22:3 and of the Lamb will be in it, and His slaves will serve Him.
DECEMBER 31 Revelation 22:4 And they will see His face, and His Name will be on their foreheads.
