Its easterliness
its northernliness
and its upness.
We specify the Kingdom in three dimensions also.
Passover. Personal salvation. The total geographical removal at spirit level from Darkness to Light. What John 3 records as being born again.
Pentecost
Repent, be baptised and be filled with the Spirit.
As soon as you are baptised in the Spirit you enter into the second dimension of the Kingdom which is "the power of God on behalf of others" or ministry.
The third dimension of the Kingdom is Tabernacles.
Tabernacles is pictured in the Old Covenant but now fully realised in the New Covenant.
The Start of the Old Covenant year as a people happens in the Tabernacles Feast and is called Day of Atonement,
In the new Covenant Feast it is continual and is called
"Walking in the Light as He is in the Light" I John 1
Tabernacles or Feast of the Booths itself represents
the mobilising of the Body of Christ to live in Covenant community. See Acts.
If your Christianity is just about personal forgiveness. It isnt specific geographically.
If your Christianity is just about power and ministry like Benny Hinn or Morris Cerullo , the Kingdom isnt specific geographically.
You need a gospel that is specified in three dimensions for the actual Kingdom to come to earth.
----------------------------------
Ask Westminster Central Hall and their Catholic group that meet in the basement to help mums,
ask Salvation army activists on the streets...
ask lots of movers and shakers.....
and they all will reply that they are "doing".....that they are being three dimensional. Is this the three dimensional gospel?
NO. John 15 is much more subtle.
___________________
.God's revealed will -LOGOS was for the Israelites to go up to the Promised land.
At Kadesh Barnea the Rhema Word, the Now Word, was "Go up now".
Through fear at the reports of giants the people did not obey.
But there was but a window of opportunity.
When the time frame was refused, God announced the alternative. The whole of the first generaton would die in the wilderness.
At which point some of the people rebelled again, and tried to go up "in their own strength". They were killed by the enemy.
----------------------
This is a snapshot for us. A very KEY part of the Bible.
As well as the positive announcement regarding the whole EARTH.....As Surely as I LIve, says the Lord....
Really, a bit like the other key events in the wilderness and on into the Land....
Namely sending Moses up alone to God while the people "played"
Namely later choosing a KING instead of God and His order, which is the Order of Melchizedek and prophetic Voices......
THE WORLD HAS ESSENTIALLY NOT MOVED ON FOR 3000-4000 YEARS.....
bUT WITH OUR LIPS WE PRAY THY KINGDOM COME , THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN...
But the Kingdom CANNOT COME
because the Kingdom is in 3 dimensions
not Billy Grahams one dimensional Kingdom,
not Morris Cerullo or Benny Hinn's twodimensional Kingdom.
Jesus Christ preached a three dimensional Kingdom which
moved people from
JOHN 3
through to WATER and BREAD chapters 4-7
through to FULNESS and UNION in chapters 14-17
So through fear we Kowtow to the principalities over the world
OR like Salvation Army activists, or Westminster Chapel Methodists and Catholics WE DO HELPS and ADMINISTRATIONS in our own strength.
ofcourse nobody can actually KNOW precisely what is
in man's strength and in the faith of God....or else we could pull down Catholic Churches or Methodist places....
but as Mother Teresa showed.....SHE DID THINGS out of UNION, out of the knowledge she was eating Christ and having Christ consciousness.
But things are not endlessly fuzzy and God's LIGHT and FIRE always comes, and that which is left standing is revealed as the Work of God.
But instead of this "MIXED KINGDOM" of a Kingdom field filled with good seed and the devil's weeds and thorns,
how great it would be to specify things in three dimensions from the outset.
THE ACTUAL KINGDOM OF GOD IS 3D.
BUT IT'S GOD'S 3D.
NOT METHODIST OR CATHOLIC 3D !!!!!
OR ISRAELITES REBELLING AGAINST GOD AND GOING UP TO THE LAND ANYWAY 3D.
