How We Live Together In The World To Come
A New Day Has Come
The New Heavens and New Earth is a re-creation of this present world. Typologically speaking, it is the Last Great Day. It is a reset of all of that God originally made very good. In the restoration of all things, perfection reigns supreme in God’s holy mountain.
Relationships between men and women also reset to God’s original plan too. Although Adam and Eve sinned, thus dying, in Christ all are made righteous, causing us to live forever. Therefore, like us, our love relationships in the world to come are eternal. Divine Mates are what “happily ever after” is all about.
Seven creations of God and even an eighth
YHWH is the king over all. There are 7 unique creations of God each with its own covering Seraph. This creation is of the seven, but is an eighth. These cherubs that cover are the 7 Spirits we see before they throne of God in the book of Revelation. Seven Seraphim remained faithful during the rebellion, one has fallen, and one is to come. This is why God created the world in seven days and there are seven colors in a rainbow. This is also why God allots seven thousand years for man’s redemption. This is also why the eight day of the Feast of Tabernacles is called the “Last Great Day”.
Jesus says,
“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.”
John 7:37
The Last Great Day is the recreation of all things and is the time when we say “now has come salvation”. In that New Creation we are one with God and each other as he originally intended. However, we not only go back the the garden, but we go beyond the garden into the glories that YHWH planned for us.
Bear the image of the heavenly
Paul says,
“As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.”
1 Corinthians 15:48,49
Seraphim are God’s Divine Mates and are the equivalent of female to His male. Divine mates, created and joined together on earth by God, reflect this heavenly reality. Men mating with women in love, bringing forth children after their kind, is literally a picture of God’s family in heaven.
Conversely, the reason that the sin of adultery is such a big deal to YHWH is that Lucifer is the original adulterous. She took her beauty and sensuality, which was God’s exclusive domain, and literally seduced a third of the stars of heaven.
Therefore, we must make a conscious choice to bear the image of God’s family. It is in our submission, faithfulness, and reverence to God that we commend ourselves to Him.
Be conformed to God
Paul says,
*Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it.”
Ephesians 4: 21-25
The whole object of sin in this world is to make us into the image of Satan. This is why we are urged to flee fornication and not commit adultery. If we act like that fallen Seraph we will receive that same punishment she does. However, if we conform to the image of those Seraphs who remained loyal to YHWH, we will take our place among them as the Bride of Christ.
Only Divine Mates endure forever
Divine Mates, whom God pairs in our present world, are a picture and foretaste of the world to come. In fact, they are the only type of marriage that survives this creation fully intact.
We are the Adams and Eves of God’s new creation, the originals from which God populates the New Heavens and New Earth. As God wills, Divine Mates bring forth after God’s kind for eternity.
In that new day, people only have intimate relations with whom God wills. In that new day of holiness and purity, contrary to popular belief, there is a great amount of Spirit-led sexuality. We go forth, be fruitful and multiply as the stars of heaven, seeding the New Heavens and earth with spirit-filled men and women. We are translated in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, across infinite worlds to new homes among the stars.
Everyone is loved in the world to come
In the New Heavens and New Earth, there is no favoritism. All men, women, and children are beautiful and cherished as the people of God. We simply love without limits, but only inso. much as God wills. No one ever takes advantage of another on all God’s holy mountain. People love one another without thought for themselves, taking great joy in meeting the needs of one another.
In conclusion, on this side of eternity, it is difficult to imagine such perfection. However, through a foretaste of our inheritance, we experience a portion of God’s Divine Love here on this earth. As we yield to God’s Spirit, we love as He loves.
The Bride of Christ is a Seraph in the making
Finally, be ye transformed into heavenly Seraphs and be not conformed to the things of this world. We bear the image of the heavenly as we are made into the image and likeness of His son Jesus Jesus Christ. Amen.
How blessed we are that we can have a “foretaste of our inheritance” and “experience a portion of God’s Divine Love here on this earth. As we yield to God’s Spirit, we love as He loves.”
That was Jesus’ heart, I think, to bridge the gap between heaven and earth. So as we go deeper in Him and let Him take us deeper into all He has for us, it seems that heaven and earth begin to blend….maybe more like more “heaven” begins to manifest in our lives and less “earth”.
Although loving as He loves manifests differently depending on the situation, the relationships between the people involved, and the level of spiritual connection, Divine Love between Divine Mates is the epitome of what Jesus meant when He said they will know you are Mine by the love you have for each other, and it is a beautiful picture of Jesus and His love for His bride.
Beautiful writing! Thanks for sharing!
Much love and hugs
Dear CL,
Thanks for sharing that perspective. You are always very clear in the way you explain things.
I think what we are witnessing in these last days is God switching us from a doctrine based belief system to a revelation based walk with Him. When the scriptures say that “the common people heard him gladly” it speaks about the non-religious Jews, or those who rarely attended the synagogue. Therefore, Jesus simply spoke revelation as he was given it and they understood, not with their minds, but with their hearts (or spirits).
Jesus did not need to give chapter and verse because He was the author of all of it. In a similar way, as the Body of Christ, we simply say whatever God gives us to say. By His Spirit we speak the current word of God for that particular situation and audience, even if it is just one person. Therefore, we are not feeling the need to be constrained by doctrine because we are Led by His Spirit. The Rhema, which is much more expansive than our doctrine, leads us into all truth at the time we need it. Plus, because we are many membered body of believers, the word of God can manifest to a fuller extent through all the facets of Christ in us. Therefore, what one member lacks the other one can supply.
Without the need to insure doctrinal integrity, we lose the desire to control what other people do. This is a key perspective in the Tabernacle Movement because, if all goes right, this will not become a denomination, but rather an individual revealing of Christ in each one of us to the world. I don’t have to police you because you are hooked into God directly, therefore whatever you do is shepherded by the Holy Spirit.
When we eat of the Tree of Life, we are free to do anything in God. Nothing that God has made is forbidden, because we only do His will. His will is a vast as the Rhema of His Spirit and we never, ever feel constrained or lacking.
Thank you for sharing your own perspectives, all of us are richer for it!
Big hugs and lots of love,
Michael
