________________________________________________________________

I awoke this morning hearing one word: Echad. And after echad was spoken, I heard, ‘a pure heart of worship, one heart of worship.’

Echad: The Hebrew word echad (אחד) primarily means ‘one’ or ‘first:’ While it can indicate a single, solitary unit, it frequently refers to a compound unity—a single entity made up of multiple parts, such as ‘one bunch’ (a day— evening and morning). Refers to things that are joined together yet function as one unit, such as ‘one flesh’ (Genesis 2:24), ‘one people, one body’ (Genesis 11:6), or a combined assembly.

The Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4): "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one (echad— unified)." This indicates God's absolute unity. The use of echad allows for it to be understood as a singular, yet unified— divine nature.

Ahava (אַהֲבָה, pronounced ah-ha-VAH) is the Hebrew word for ‘love’ encompassing a broad spectrum of affections, romantic and spiritual. Rooted in the verb ahav (to love) and the biblical term hav (to give), it implies that true love is fundamentally —a proactive act of giving.

This teaching was mostly finished yesterday— but it rested, or breathed overnight— as I immersed myself with the Lord in all its contents (marinated and mused over them with him). Unity is not only very special to the Lord— it is the only true existence of the Lord God: for all of him— is unified. And if we understand this— we ought to understand how we are to be with one another: I reckon we have a little way to go with that. 😉 But he always finishes what he starts.

If we understand God’s purpose for giving Israel the Shema meaning and meditation— we will come to understand what he is about to bring forward in the culmination of this teaching: divine unity. Not just unity as we humans would define unity— but divine unity: in God, by God, with God, as God is— divine unity, the divine human —of/by/with the Lord God.

Our Lord is desiring to take us from separation to unity, from ignorance to enlightenment, from enlightenment to abiding in the light (or knowledge, understanding and wisdom) of God, to grow, advance, move upward— as we are invited to ascend higher (spiritual divine nature reference— as God lives, form, shape, character, attributes, principles, truth, etc) —and to dive deeper (into the interiors of God’s heart and mind), from infancy— to adulthood or maturity: until divine unity is achieved at the top of the climb or ascension: what we encounter there— is the pinnacle apex of God’s dream. But what exactly is his ultimate dream, and how do we accomplish ‘his dream,’ in/of our lives? Let’s find out, at least from what he has spoken and shown to me.

But before we delve into his teaching here today— let’s think upon one (pun intended, unity reference) unified thing:

Ephesians 4:4-6

“There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”

Because if we can read those verses in context of echad and shema— then we shall understand our call in him: there is one body— and we are together to be echad— singular in nature; and we are to be shema— commanded to listen and affirm this singular, unified, nature— obey ourselves together in/of it: unity with God. Hence— one Spirit. For truly there is only one holy, true form (of love and truth), message and witness of the purity of light of life, spirit— and it is God. And yet— we are called to be one, as he is one: unified— within body, soul, and Spirit of us, as well as each other. And I spelled Spirit rightly so— capitalized— as we are to be of One Spirit— not many, One— in/of our living souls: and this is the hope or ‘expected pleasure with confidence’ (G1680) of our calling or ‘invitation’ (G2821) to join— One faith (reliance upon Christ Jesus and the truth, with fidelity to both), One baptism— into all he is— as he is, One God and Father/Author of us (and our faith) —who is above all of us (a headship and holiness reference), as well as through all of us, in all of us.

Ok, last statement before we begin: if he had his desire to be a father— in him, and in the father— that of a perfect model of Son to come forth (and all others would be born after the likeness of him, following him), and he is the Holy Spirit, the One Spirit— message (conduct and law, form, love, and righteousness) and witness— of the paradigm model and pattern in which we are all shaped after… Do we understand our heavenly Father/Author of life desired to, as the Spirit— habitat, inhabit amongst (inside) men— the creation of his attributes compiled, uniquely, in/of them all— to be made as he is, with the same message and witness— that he ought to walk and talk with them from the placement of the One Spirit within them— in the ruach or cool of the day, in unity of nature, desires, love, and true form? Do we understand he desired men to have physical bodies so that he could commune with them, never alone— not he or they— forever, One home, One mind, One heart, One way, One love, One walk, One life— that he could express himself through, of men in material body??

Because he desired to be with each of us, individually— but unified— collectively, as a family raised up under one name (character, nature, attributes, law and conduct of) —one Father and Author of life— as he is, all of us— together, moving, living, abiding— as God does: a unified family.

And folks— you are the apparatus, device, vessel, and embodiment, then— of the Lord God— to express his very person, AS HE IS, out from: but do we take the apparatus, device, vessel, and form of unified embodiment— unto ourselves— as little divided apart gods of our own, doing our own thing— whereby he does not have possession of the vessel, nor accomplishment of the embodiment of his Spirit, leading a living spiritual-soul-life in us?? Do we take up the rule and reign/reins in the life he authored— meant for harmonious unity?

If we can understand that God had within him the desire to be a father/author of life, to have a perfect model of this fatherhood and son relationship— modeled by Jesus; that we were all supposed to follow after in our predestination to be reconformed into the image of the Son. Then we would understand the call that emanates from his heart— as he knocks on ours (calls upon ours): unity, unity, unity— please unify, unify, unify: which takes humility, relinquishing, turnaround, reverence, exaltation, hearkening— obeying, and giving ourselves over to him: and we can join him in his dream— if we will. For he desires all would walk and talk with him in the ruach— unified, like/same/as— for all of eternity, in nature and maturity of.

There is a love— requited and reciprocal— that our Lord holds at the highest level of life, and it is ahava: and his ahava combines echad (nature, singular) and shema (the command to live, obey, and abide in it), and that produces a love that is an active product of giving and receiving, reciprocating— when mature in/of it. And THAT— is the crux in which all of the following balances upon.

Balance —the root definition of balance comes from the Latin phrase bilanx, meaning ‘having two pans’ or ‘two scales.’ It derives from bi- meaning- ‘twice’ or ‘two’ + lanx ‘dish, plate, scale.’ The term entered Middle English from Old French as balaunce, referring specifically to— a scale apparatus used to weigh objects.

And do we understand this verse a bit better now, of Daniel 5:26-27?

“This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE: God hath numbered your kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL: You are weighed in the balances— and are found wanting."

Belshazzar, who succeeded Nebuchadnezzar— who kept the holy gold and silver vessels of the Lord from the temple of God— called them to be fetched— that he may defile them by allowing unclean people to drink from them: unclean vessels cannot drink the cup of the Lord in his holiness— and live: they are polar opposites— and oppose each other: hence— we must die to be resurrected in life (holy form).

Daniel 5:3-6

“Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them. They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. And the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him— so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.”

He began to tremble before the holy God, as they worshiped the created elements (like souls of men) not the Creator (who is to be the Spirit of man): soul was raised above the Spirit of God— the One True God, Lord, and Spirit of us. There was no reverence, no honor, no exaltation of God, no respect— only dishonor and disrespect as a carnal enemy (material soul against God) in/of no unification with God— to be living as One, hence— enemies or polar opposites. God desires unity in his nature, law, conduct, order, way, and life— in/of love, reciprocal, balanced, requited in what was dished out to humanity from/of him— to be returned to him— in/of his giving— to our receiving, and of our receiving —to requite it back— give it back— for we love— because he first loved us (1 John 4:19): mature and unified nature, law, and conduct of our hearts, ways, and life— in him: as One.

Reciprocal— constituting, or resulting from, paired crosses— in which the kind that supplies the male parent of the first cross— supplies the female parent of the second cross— and vice versa; shared, felt, or known by both sides, mutual corresponding; root definition— originates from the Latin reciprocus, meaning ‘returning the same way;’ It conveys a sense of backward-and-forward motion, often derived from re- (back) and pro- (forward). Generally, it implies something that is— mutual, shared, or acts in return— such as reciprocal actions or feelings: give - receive, receive - give: connect and flow back and forth.

Requited— to reward, return, repay, or reciprocate a feeling or action —back. Synonyms include repaid, reciprocated, returned, compensated, and rewarded; also related to avenging a wrong (meaning— such as to come against sin/estrangement— into sanctification and unity). Root definition— to repay, reward, or avenge, derived from the 16th-century combination of the prefix re- ‘back again’ and the obsolete verb quite ‘to pay’ or ‘set free.’ And is a variant of ‘to quit,’ as in to stop, turn, and go another way. It signifies making a return— for a benefit, or service —rooted in the idea of balancing.

Two crosses— paired, one the parent (or author/husband) to the female (bride/woman) —receiver, and vice versa: two who are one now, who share mutual divine form, nature, love, and truth; we return the same that was given to us, first, by God: actions return. And a requited, or reward our God receives, as we repay him ‘in’ the same form, nature, love, and truth— he first gave unto/into us— back to him: whereby we quit the other way, and turn (repent), and come to the benefit and service to all, to One, and go the other way— unifying with truth, love, divine form, nature, and way, as we yoke, learn, and become as he is— and are set free: the return, the full-circle motion back to our Origin: the Author and Father of us.

Echad, Shema, Ahava— reciprocal and requited LOVE: to know God face to face, as he is— to be one with God, and thus— each other who are one with him.

There are times when things seem so simple to me after spending time in the Lord’s mind— in the meditations of his musings of concepts and understanding of knowledge; especially when spending time with him concerning the things of spiritual knowledge, and concepts of. Like all of the symbolic references in scripture: trees— as men, spiritual partners— as sons and a bride, priests— as people of righteousness, kings— as people who move from the righteousness in authority, a name— meaning character and witness/record of a person, peace— being actually quieted and set at one with the Lord, Lamb— being an innocent and pure sacrifice, etcetera and so on.

I’d like to explain some of these today; and see if we can understand our heavenly Father a little bit more (even father— is one of those spiritual references).

Trees as men walking: A spiritual reference when a blind man was receiving his sight. And if we take a closer look into sight itself— and we spiritually perceive the understanding of spiritual sight (which is figurative and symbolic thought, metaphor, analogy, and so forth). We can then observe that the Lord is speaking to us on many levels.

Jesus is addressing his students (learning children of the Lord) as Mark chapter 8 begins. He says several times— Why do you reason as such? Do you not perceive yet? Neither do you have understanding yet? Do you have your hearts hardened? Do you have eyes but do not see? And do you have ears but do not hear? And do you not remember? Now Jesus was speaking of the miracle of the fishes and loaves he had just done prior to this. But his point was: are you not connecting the dots? Are you not paying attention? Do you not yet perceive what is possible with your heavenly Father? Do you not have inner spiritual understanding yet— hence spiritual wisdom, yet? And that they do not— for their hearts are hardened. What does that mean? It means the meditations of their heart— are on carnal things, and not spiritual things. It means— loss of spiritual sight, hearing, knowledge of God— along with not gaining the understanding and wisdom of God comes from ‘hard heartedness:’ which is a result of not coming together to reason with the Spirit of God; but instead— reasoned with the intellect of man; because the heart was of man— was not turned toward God to receive of him, of his mind, of his knowledge or understanding— to gain wisdom.

And thus— the superficial understanding of this scripture, where Jesus heals the sight of the blind man; is that a man’s physical sight was restored: but I believe Jesus was demonstrating something far greater— with this physically blind man, and opportunity: he was going to show his students how spiritually blind they were; and how that caused them to lack understanding— and thus wisdom. All because their hearts were not turned toward God, and thus, the mind was not given over to the Lord God; and his thoughts could not reign in these men: they could not hear or see— and needed to be cleansed, corrected, and reformed— as well.

(Mark 8:22-25) “And he came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought (anything). And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.”

They bring a blind man to Jesus— to be touched by God through the Son; this signifies he ‘desired’ to not be blind any longer; and Jesus— takes the blind man by the hand. Is this not what he must do with us— when we are blind spiritually? And Jesus leads the blind man to a new location. Is this not what he must do with us when we are stuck in carnality too, that he must lead us to spirituality with him? He put his hands upon him— as he has need to do in reforming us as well: AFTER THIS PROCESS— of touching a man who desires to be changed, through humility in coming to God in dysfunction, malformation, bondage, captivity (this man physically, his disciples— spiritually) —whereby the Lord shall put his hands to this man now; then does God lead a man to a new location. A new spiritual location, ‘to be in Christ Jesus’ now, comes forth: new coordinates— no longer carnal— but spiritual— to the pulling down of strongholds: new mind, new heart, new spirit, new discipline of soul being— new creation: from new humility, desire to couple with God, be transformed into that in which God is, and to transcend the current human condition. That’s when Jesus will then ask a man— ‘What do you see now, anything at all spiritually?’ And indeed— that is when men shall see a little, at first— and as time spent worshiping God goes on— he shall continue to be touched of the Lord— and into clearer, and clearer spiritual sight: which means to perceive now as God does: which means— to not only see, but to KNOW as God KNOWS— as two are now joined— as one: restored.

And this is the parable of trees like men walking— and the clearing, cleaning, and reformation of a man— to see, and indeed, perceive spiritually— as one ought to, when in union with the Maker of him.

Spiritual Partners— to be set at/as one: A reference to the Lord’s desire that we would not only be in his form again (spiritual structure of person), but that we would become so mature in our structure— that we would begin to fruit out a womb product— hence a bride, woman, womb-bearing man-child produced.

1 Corinthians 6:17 “But he who is joined to the Lord is —one spirit— with Him."

Ephesians 4:4-6 “There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”

Philippians 2:2 “Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.”

John 17:22

“And the glory which you gave me— I have given them; that they may be one— even as we are one.”

All of these references are reflecting what it is to be ‘spiritually’ one: joined, married: of the same message and witness, same character, same principles, same spiritual form/likeness/shape, same structure, law and conduct of, same heart, same mind, same body (or vessel like/same/as), same calling, same Lord over all, same faith, same baptism— or immersion of spirit in/of us, same location— above, and through us all. As well as in living this— we shall fulfill the joy of the Lord, if we shall be like-minded— having the same love, being in one, and of one, accord.

Because if we become this with God, each of us— we shall be this with one another, as well: ‘spiritually’ one: joined, married: of the same message and witness, same character, same principles, same spiritual form/likeness/shape, same structure, law and conduct of, same heart, same mind, same body (or vessel like/same/as), same calling, same Lord over all, same faith, same baptism— or immersion of spirit in/of us, same location— above, and through us all.

Because the glory or dignity [G1391: doxa: dignity, glory, honor, praise, worship] that the Father gave the Son— he gave to us. SO THAT— we would be one with him, as/like he is, joined— and then— as thus with each other: one: like the Father, Son, and Spirit are —of all same spiritual structure, character, name, message, witness, principles, attributes, form/likeness/shape, law and conduct of— statutes upheld, same heart, mind, body (vessel that carries all out), same calling in/of life— that of righteousness, love and truth— in purity, same Head — our heavenly Father, same reliance in/upon the Truth — the true, pure, form and person of God, same immersion into/of all God is, residing in, and presiding from— the same spiritual location of elevation of spiritual life: God’s heavenly abode and kingdom.

To be ‘of one accord’ is to be— a product of sameness in exact proportions of structure or form, spiritually: the guts, and operations of— are the same, married, joined, jointly fit together, like puzzle pieces— that form a whole structure, no schism.

This is to be a mature spiritual partner with the Lord God: we partner in this— that all God is— we too shall be— until it’s fully accomplished in form/structure, and execution of.

This would be in the priesthood— one accord, same as he is, doing the same, being the same, under the same authority —the Head of heaven, serving the kingdom of God. This would be the government of God— kings, or authority figures in/of his kingdom: that they should be of the same mind that was in Christ Jesus, same judgments— from above, same ways— from above, same proceedings that take place in the government of heaven— in/of our spiritual souls here, same duties and responsibilities that the Lord God details out in heaven— upheld in earth, or soul— as well.

It’s the same call for our souls— to be in one accord with the Spirit: there is only ONE SPIRIT— we concluded that above in 1 Corinthians 6:17— one spirit, and as well in Ephesians 4:4— one Spirit, one mind— in Philippians 2:2, and that leads to one glory— or one dignity of person, as well— in John 17:22.

Our souls are to be given over to the Spirit of the Lord; and any human spirit that is not in accord with God— is not joined; and has a need to join— agree, and subject himself to the Lord God in humility— to be married to his Spirit, melded into all he is, and thus— to have the Lord God ‘be’ the Spirit that rules (brings his law and conduct of) in our soul being (faculties that operate in spiritual concepts and functions in/of a body), and reigns (is able to bring forth the law written in/upon our hearts— until it is a conduct in/of us) in our soul: this is to be one. Anything else— is schism, darkness, pride, and estrangement— as we couple with another god and kingdom; and thus— the house— is ‘given to’ another: like a wife is to give herself to her husband— but adulterates the intimacy, fornicates— hooks up with another spirit, and defiles themselves in idolatry; for they received the recompense of spiritual fornication into themselves— and fruited it out.

Everything is in a name— the character of a person; for it defines the structure it belongs to: that of God— or of satan: a name— carries forth the seed of the person— to be displayed to another: the witness, record, and principles of that person— into/toward another— the witness. In our case— the name of the Lord is to be married to— the character of the Lord God; and we are to display it— from the faculties of our living souls: because our hearts are to be placed upon the Lord God— in our affections, desire, and motivations— inclined to him, as our partner in whom we honor, exalt, receive— into ourselves: to seed out in us— and create fruit. That only happens— if we shall take his name unto/upon us: his structure of being— all that he is— in his ‘being.’ Then shall we come to a maturity in all that he is— as we give over to the finished workmanship— that is— Christ Jesus: that he should do it again— in us: we as his church, bride, mature, called out partner: who once were children/sons— but who are mature children/sons— who come forth as his wife (as mentioned in Jesus’ revelation to John). The people who have made the atonement— the at-one-ment— who are quietly resting/positioned in the form of God, nature of God, mind of God, attributes of God, ways of God, principles of God, led of God— as all sons are, who become the mature partners— of God— who are under him and being fed of him— as they take him in— and then fruit out that product (a man-child). These— shall also be— sacrificial lovers (selfless lovers) as he is— and shall lay their lives down like lambs upon the altar— to bring the others into this as well, as children of God— that they should go all the way— no longer remaining children, or on the milk of the word— but going onto maturity, as his woman or bride.

These are all spiritual concepts, roles, and undertakings— that speak to the depths of the word of God; which has been to the glory or dignity of God to conceal these things; but unto kings or authority figures born of God’s heavenly abode who serve him in it… It is to their dignity— to search out these things— by the mind that was in Christ Jesus: and to join— becoming living spirits— in souls of men. But there are a couple of spiritual concepts, and roles— that I would like to particularly pour over; as all the other roles we walk out with God— hinge upon our ‘spiritual’ understanding of male and female, and husband and wife— after we come out of spiritual childhood: but to be a child of God— matters, a partner, a mature partner as a bride or wife— all matters in our understanding: because if we can pour over these individually— we shall see, and perceive (the experiential knowledge) the progression of spiritual growth and union: and what God’s dream really is— as it concerns mankind.

First, let me explain meditation once again— as in, the meditations of our heart: the places we dwell in thought: where we reason, see, weigh, examine, entertain/host, consider— being immersed in spirit/Spirit, and our spiritual faculties of the living soul in operation— based in/upon/from the affections (the desire) of our hearts, that we are motivated by— to walk out and perform of actions. For we do, or— we will— right after we meditate, determine or decide— we then act upon: so to understand and mediate our meditations of heart within us— is of the utmost importance. For what and who we give ourselves over to (of thought and considerations) is very important— for it, they (what spirit/Spirit) will motivate us to do— or will.

Psalm 19:14 "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer."

Here David is stating that his mouth ought to extol the Lord God— and it will do this from the meditation of his heart— being on God himself; and in this— he shall bring forth the delight of the Lord (which is the definition in Strong’s of acceptable— the pleasure of God); whereby the Lord God should look upon David, walk up and down within his spirit-soul interface within his heart— and delight to abide there in all that is being undertaken within David’s heart. For David knows the only strength of his person— is found in the Lord; and the Lord in his right place in David— of Redeemer [H1350: gâ'al: which means— in the Strong’s— to be next of kin— like buy back next of kin's property, take up a widowed wife, avenge (which, remember, means to quit one thing— and take up another— on behalf of, in requited love), deliver, purchase, ransom].

David understands that his heart— and what he exalts and reveres in there— proves his god/God: who is in power, authority, and dominion —within him: his own spiritual soul running the roost, or the Lord God— as his spirit/Spirit moves within his living soul. The law, and conduct of— the follow through of the conduct of the law written on/in a man’s heart— will be displayed, or manifested, when the meditations of the heart— lead to the will of man performing the determinations of the heart: which are born of the heart’s affections or desires that are exalted (placed high in regard, up in it) —and it is then motivated to perform the actions.

David walked out different rulers within him— exampled in his life— many times over (as all our lives display): sometimes God, and sometimes himself (god): many times— that of God and his example: like in the way he dealt with Saul and Johnathan— from the motivations of his heart. But sometimes it was of himself as ruler most high— like with Bathsheba and Uriah: and each example of David’s life (and truly ours as well) displays, or manifests to all— what is within the human heart (where spirit meets soul walked out) there —worshiped and exalted— of affections or desires; and those affections and desires are exalted upon high; and then those exalted high affections— cause us to dwell there (meditate, reason, determine) —and then we are motivated to act upon them; which causes us to will our actions forward.

When we have the meditations of our heart upon the Lord God— to lift him up within us, and to cause us to seek his mind, thoughts, reasoning, desires or pleasure, and determinations; we shall then be motivated by the Spirit of the Lord God, within— and we shall then move from those motivations of spirit in the heart— to will the living soul to perform the mediations of heart (like deeds and speech): David was stating that if God is the one who bought him back— like a family member who needed to be avenged, delivered, and taken up for— as the Lord God by his own life— to do so (spiritually first— then physically— at Calvary, finishing it all); then David was to have the meditations of his heart— upon his beloved Kinsman Redeemer: hence the understanding of that statement.

It is when we shall turn our faces (spiritual souls) to anything, or anyone, that is not our Kinsman Redeemer— that we fall away from the Light— and into the darkness of the spiritual soul: because our heart failed to be lit by the hallowed flame of the Lord God— as we turned away from his Spirit— to exalt another— in the place where spirit/Spirit— meets the living soul of man, and motivates it to actions.

I want us to remember mediations of heart— and what it means to have them: what we think upon, where we reason, see, weigh, examine, entertain/host, consider— being immersed in spirit/Spirit, and our spiritual faculties of the living soul in operation— based in/upon/from the affections (the desire) of our hearts, that we are motivated by— to walk out and perform of actions. For we do— we will— right after we meditate, determine or decide: we act upon the mediations of the heart.

Because— when we get into the next section of spiritual concepts— spiritual knowledge understood properly— from above, in/of the Lord God; we will ‘see’ (observe) and ‘perceive’ (know) the truth— when we entertain, meditate upon, host, and revere— the mind of God— within our spiritual faculties of soul: because our hearts desire to know God, unify with God, and serve (within heart) —our Lord God, in deep and profound INTIMACY OF UNION— nothing more, nothing less. And I say that— because men can be enthralled with power, authority, signs, miracles, wonder, and dominion— and none of that saves a man: only intimacy and union.

For a man’s spirit can obey God (as the devils tremble and believe, and obey when he tells them what to do), and not be in unity of heart, in like/same form— as that of a son/child of God— who ‘is’ as God is; with a reverence, or exaltation of God’s person: only obedience to his command: devils obey when the Lord speaks— man must do something better than this, then. Devils— do not have a heart after what God is after; and this is where man— is supposed to. Devils will desire to do, be, and conduct themselves— as they see fit; as the mediation of their center-most being— is given over to its lusts/desires/pleasures. A son/child of God— is to be given over to the Spirit of the Lord (the only spirit of purity of love and truth, of righteousness) —in the true form of the purity of the light of life, in the spiritual soul faculties of him/her. And the mature partner of the Lord God— who is ‘in’ intimacy with the Lord God, in the proper spiritual form/structure/likeness/shape —his bride/woman; is the maturity of the form of the son or child of God— that now comes forth and produces fruit of their union: a man-child offspring (or fruit of the womb— that springs forth).

It is more than obedience— for some obey out of fear (devils, who also believe). It is more than power, authority, dominion, and performance: for some shall hear ‘depart from me, you who worked a lawlessness in your person;’ for they worked another law written in/upon their hearts— that of selfish love, not selfless love— whereby we have the best interest of ‘other’ (namely God himself, of whom we are to partner with) at hand/heart (and are motivated to serve). It is more than a performance— it's a union. And it’s a union— FOUNDED IN LOVE, and recovered— IN/BY TRUTH (both of which devils do not exalt within them). And for the sake of spiritual understanding— we may as much see and perceive devils to be— devolved human spirits who fell into the exaltation of themselves; and the lusts of their own hearts, and motivations of— led them into separation from the Lord God, separation from their true spiritual form, and separation from love: now only existing in lust— for power, authority, dominion, and control— to consume the desires of their own hearts: perversion of love and truth— hence— lust and falsities— dark light; turned away from the pure and true from of God’s image, message, and witness: human spirits that devolved from the purity of the light of life— because their center-most of them, and their mind— turned away from the face of God— to not only obey God, but to LOVE GOD: no union of intimacy, no joining, no marriage, no ahava, no shema, no echad, no— as one.

I’d like to speak of this ‘as one’ union— like that of the growth of child to adult, and from a husband toward a wife, and wife toward a husband: that we may understand some more spiritual concepts— and take them into us as we eat of them, and drink of them— that we may be one with the living God.

A son or child:

H1122 – Son

Transliteration: bên

Pronunciation: bane

KJV Usage: son (2,978x), children (1,568x), old (135x), first (51x), man (20x), young (18x), young (with H1241) (17x), child (10x), stranger (10x), people (5x), misc (92x).

G5207 – Son

Greek: υἱός

Transliteration: uihos

Pronunciation: hwee-os'

Definition: Apparently a primary word; a son —used very widely of immediate, remote, or figurative— kinship: child, foal, son.

KJV Usage: son (85x), Son of Man (with G444) (87x), Son of God (with G2316) (49x), child(ren) (49x), Son (42x), his Son (with G848) (21x), Son of David (with G1138) (15x), my beloved Son (with G27) (with G3350) (7x), thy Son (with G4575) (5x), only begotten Son (with G3339) (3x), his (David's) son (with G846) (3x), firstborn son (with G4316) (2x), misc (14x).

A son is an offspring, like the shoots that bear life coming off of a vine. They come forth in life— because the vine gave them life. They are the same structure, DNA, consistency, and form of life, of that of the original plant. They spring up from the posterity of the original parent plant. You can even graft them into the same parent vine— and they will be fed from the same source of life, and will bring forth life— from the parent vine: completely dependent upon the parent vine. And in this— they carry on the family name; which in our case— is the character of the Lord. And character means— the aggregate of moral/ethical traits, reputation, and/or distinct features that define a person; root definition— stems from the Greek word kharaktēr, referring to an engraved mark, stamped symbol, or the instrument used for marking (like a stylus or branding iron). It derives from kharassein, meaning "to engrave, scratch, or stamp", signifying a distinctive, indelible mark— that identifies or defines a person or thing.

A son is a child of God (male or female) —is relation, including posterity, meaning— grandchild as well. It is a nation, a quality or condition— hence— to be marked by God, sealed, stamped, that identifies (this is identity) a person based upon moral and ethical traits, reputation (witness/record/testimony) of distinct features that define a person; and in our case— that define a person who has the same character as our heavenly Father— demonstrated, shown, manifested— in the Son Jesus: and this— carries on the family name (character): hence— grafted in shall carry the same form, structure, life flow, divine nature attributes— of our heavenly Father— when one is a son of God (child of God). They are building upon the name of the family— in/of a heavenly kingdom— by what they become, are, be being— in spiritual structure— that of our heavenly Father himself: hence— he authors us life in/from him, meaning— he is the essence of our life— down to our operating system, and structure of, that flows from us: that of his character (name, spiritual signature of light of life) within/from us: a son, of the firstborn. A people who serve the Lord God in heart, in word, in mind, in actions, and in union— with our heavenly Father— as children being formed in the right structure, and brought up in the way— as we learn of him. And in this— we become good stewards of the Lord— in all he raises us up to be— in spiritual message, character, attributes, essence, obedience, love— a respect for all God is— in reverence, admiration, affection, and a desire to know God in an intimate way; so as to become as he is— all the way to maturity of being an offspring of the Vine— unto the full stature of Christ (the mature union with our Father, as he is).

Sonship is the first pursuit we are called to— as we are grafted in, adopted children, to be raised up, corrected, admonished, turned around, and reformed in our spiritual structure, essence, and relationship with our heavenly Father: we must become as little children to enter into life, and the kingdom. Sonship— is the beginning of being born anew and recreated in Christ Jesus. It is the way the Son shall show us the Father and son/child relationship— and how we are to watch and learn of our heavenly Father— as he leads us into maturity, being disciplined, as we gain the knowledge of our Father in the initial introduction of the Lord our God and Father (one who authors us life, and raises up in the way we are to go); where we learn the law and conduct of the kingdom of God, of that of our Father. The statutes, the principles, the precedent, the walk we are to unify with spiritually— and then accomplish with our heavenly Father— as we yoke to him to learn of him.

A bride is a woman or wife who is a grown spiritual partner— called to unify in of the soul and body— to her husband. She desires to serve the husband in/of/from true love. Not only to obey the lead of her mister or Lord— as the head of her— but with an absolute tender love/desire to do so; and it pleases her, it delights her to be under him, led of him, and given to him. A bride is a mature one— who not only comes forth in age or maturity— but in love; and from a love and desire to procreate— and make more of that of the seed of her husband: the bringing forth of more sons or children: that the posterity of him— his name (character/signature/form/legacy/posterity) would go on— by their union.

A bride or wife, a mature woman partner of a mister or lord— shall prepare herself for mature union; shall adorn herself in purification, aroma, and preparation. For he shall come unto her, lock himself in with her, and join her— when she is purified, prepared, consecrated, and the veil is removed— and they are lawfully wed. Then shall she be the travailing woman— who conceives of his seed in her— and comes forth to bare his young (raise up children); as it grows to maturity within her— and takes forth in/of mature form in the womb of love: she brings forth a mature, fully developed, child: they shall make and bring forth fruit together— based in their union. A bride/wife/woman is as if perfect— or mature, whole— not incomplete; and is the wife of a son, a spouse. She is established in the fullness of her pregnancy— when the lawful union is complete, and veil is removed, and they are locked in with one another— to be as one. As she is given to her lord or mister— to marry: she is Beulah— married or possessed, fruitful, and in divine union with God— not forsaken any longer as a partner— but married, joined (Hebrew root definition). And her lord, or husband, or master— has dominion over her: rule over her.

Genesis 3:16

“Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply your sorrow and (in) your conception; in sorrow you shall bring forth children; and your desire shall be to your husband, and he shall rule over you.”

In the beginning (Genesis) woman gained sorrow in conception— due to the desire to experience evil; as she partook in the knowledge (which means— we shall learn from) of the tree of good and evil: good— bring forth children— evil— via pain and suffering, including— because of separation from all which is only good: God. Now, I understand that part— we disobeyed, it came with consequential learning of evil, all mixed in with the good. But I do not understand how, except through the carnal mind— we got this verse so messed up in the latter part; to assume it was anything but divinely beautiful, as the order of heaven.

“Your desire, your affection, your longing, your good pleasure— shall be focused upon and given to your husband; and he shall govern, bear you up, have and hold power of care over you.”

How did we twist that beautiful ideal form and format up— to make it something of a power struggle, or vain, misguided, carnal undertaking? Our Lord designed the woman to be cared for— of her husband; that he would bear her up in responsibility, lead, govern over her life (that means oversee her life, to love and care for her) —by all his power to do so. And she— well, she shall have her heart set upon him, to love him, desire him, and revere him— from the good pleasures or depths of her heart. Where did we get this twisted? It’s the story-line type and shadow of our relationship with the Father of us— as we join him in spiritual maturity of persons: via— union to the only begotten Son, as we join ourselves to him in maturity— to bring forth fruit: the fruit of love, born of the form of God, now become— joined— and walked out: as one.

The woman/wife/bride— is to receive his seed— to bear fruit, make more after their kind, re-produce— SPIRITUALLY— more after their kind: it is why the bride and Spirit say— Come to the wedding supper of the Lamb: those who maturely became the form (as a son), went onto maturity in becoming the form as well as the execution of the form, divine nature attributes, under the headship, joined in same Spirit— message, witness, character, principles, statutes, law and conduct of— becoming one living spiritual soul— walked out.

The spiritual bride of the Lamb— is the soul of man who comes into sonship (form and obedience) all the way to LOVE and UNION— into the mature stature of Christ— in her. She received the seed— all the form of our Lord God— in his Spirit, his knowledge of him, his way of his kingdom, his character, his nature, his message, his witness— unto a maturity of her joining him (as a mature partner); who shall now go out and assist other souls (bride invitees, to be virginal toward him— pure, sanctified, consecrated) in going all the way (pun intended) to mature union: seeding out, fruiting out, making a man-child of their own— as they join to the Maker and Husband of us.

Isaiah 54:5

"For your Maker is your husband— The LORD of hosts is His name; And your Redeemer (Kinsman Redeemer— family redeemer) is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth."

The wife/woman/bride— is the Lord’s mature partner, over that of the son who shall learn of their Father, in form, in nature, in law and conduct— but who has not come into maturity yet, who shall walk in the fullness of this— and thus— produce the fruit of union: his mature woman does this— and she brings forth more, and raises up more— with her Lord, Mister, Husband, and Maker.

She— receives him ‘into’ her (like a wife receives her husband in consummation of conjugal relations); and he leaves his mature mark or seed within her: she brings forth fruit— of the womb of reciprocal love; as he oversees her life in holding responsible power of bearing her up under his own life— and governing her cares and concerns— as he loves her. And she— her reciprocal love in honoring him, desiring he be the governor of her, by the affections of her heart— longing for him to join her— as she focuses (worships) him, and gives herself to him: perfect spiritual essence flow (circuit complete) —and longevity produces fruit (a man-child).

Longevity— a long duration of life, or the state of living. Beyond biology, it indicates long duration, permanence, or durability in roles, or product (produce, fruit).

He— gives, she receives. He— the Spirit Husband— she, the spiritual soul that receives him into her, and flourishes in his seed of the light of life; as she brings forth life— and life abundantly, as they become one. He, Spirit— gives his seed (in the life of Jesus), and she— the soul, receives his seed into her— to produce fruit.

When we receive his seed into our souls, as his bride, we then not only hear what he is saying to us, and know what he is showing to us— as a child could; but we become mature to meet him in it: all his mind, all his heart— and affections and desires of, all of his attributes, all of his ways of his kingdom— in principled living, and love and truth. In all of this— she, the soul of man— gives herself unto him— to join him in it all, walk in it, and become one in Spirit— within her (the spiritual soul of man— the whole living being, spirit, soul, carried out in the temple of the Lord, the house of God— the body of man). She meets him, joins him, and becomes one with him in— his mind… in his heart— and desires and affections of— are that of his own… in his nature— and attributes of… in his spiritual walk, in his kingdom culture— toward our neighbor: she becomes all he is— as he gives himself to her (his Spirit) to couple with, and come ‘into’ all truth, together, maturely, and become one cohesive entity.

There is a place in the eternal life of man— where he reaches the pinnacle, the summit, the apex of mountain life with the Lord God: the mature bride— who made herself ready for him, ready for this wedding, ready for the veil to be removed— and to see one another face to face, or countenance to countenance (not as a child, learning, but not coming into the truth maturely), as to come into the fullness— of the stature of Christ Jesus: for he himself is now in her, of her, and ruling or governing her— as he cares for her, and bears her up in/of himself (the soul of man— given to his/her Maker and Husband).

The apex— the highest point, is the climb to the heights of spiritual purity. The depths of his heart— to know him in intimacies— is where we achieve those heights of spiritual purity, as he is, in maturity— walked out— in union: as we become as he is, and he becomes us— in all we are.

There is this place, this apex— where the Lord God is not only incarnate in intellect, knowledge and form, immaturely in a man’s soul (his partner), whereby obedience out of tenderness of love and admiration— has not come forth yet— as the soul is as a child. But whereby the soul comes into maturity, is ready for union in maturity— within— not just to walk alongside and teach— but to now ‘become’ as he is. This apex place at the top of the climb to join him up where he dwells in the elevation of the purity of the light of life once again; and into the depths of his heart— for we desire to know him as he is, our affections and desires are turned toward his person to love and obey him; and we join him in the heights AND the depths of spiritual intimate union: this is where Christ Jesus, his Holy Spirit, and our Father— get to live, incarnate, in maturity once again— in the souls of his cleaned up, consecrated, ironed out— bride/woman/wife/partner— to that of his Holy Spirit (the Mrs. to his Mr.): requited love that births forth mature fruit of union— who shall carry on his name in the earth (souls of men): for they married in heaven— Spirit.

If we understood spiritual union— we would understand union to our earthly marriages much more. We would understand that ideally— a man is to be given to the Lord, and love his wife— like the Lord loves his spiritual spouse. As the woman is to love the husband— as if unto, or as how she— loves the Lord god himself— in/of Jesus. And she would, in turn, have the desire of her heart affections— on him, her focus, her admiration (like how we are to adore, revere, and worship— or focus intently of our heart desires— on the Lord God, spiritually). This is the ideal union— when man is unified with God, and woman is unified with God— and each walks out their respectful roles toward God— then each other: the law— one and two.

When we are maturely joined— we walk in our thought life— as one. We walk in the Spirit in our affections, desires, motivations of, principles, law written in/upon our hearts— and the conducting of it— all like/same/as —that of the Lord God; as we are governed by his Spirit (our Mister), in our spiritual souls (his Mrs.): and then the union of God walking out his woman on his arm (power and lead of Spirit) takes place— and the fruit of this union is known— as more spiritual sons and daughters— are brought up in the same way: discipleship— unto full mature union.

Dominion— is of the Lord— as he is the governor of men’s souls/lives. Man is to govern by tilling the earth— disciplining the soul— to the Lord God’s person: that we should enter into mature union— as he comes forth of his seed— in a full maturity: unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given— the government is his— and he is the Mighty God, Wonderful, Counselor, our Everlasting Father, and the Prince of our Peace: and when we are given over to him in mature union of reciprocated love— to the birthing out of a mature fruit: we are his woman, his child grown to maturity, his spiritual partner that has resumed his form again— and maturely walks within it, under/by his leadership: we are the spiritual souls of men (living, spiritual, beings, called men) and we are to go all the way to the top of the apex of spiritual elevated life— where he abides, above. And we are to go so low, so deep, so intimately in our knowledge of him (our discovery + joining like/same/as) that we produce mature fruit: a man-child comes forth, a new creature, his name carries on— and men walk in his spiritual signature— as they emulate, and emanate— his very pure light of life— right from them: because he is them— in full expression of them now: this— is his dream.

That men would walk and talk with him in the Spirit (Ruach) until he gathers their faculties up once again (which is what ‘to be raised’ means): and he, and they, together— are one entity, under God, and indivisible— for his wife (eternal spiritual souls of men) gave themselves to him, received him into themselves (ate and drank him in), joined him— intertwined and jointly fit together with him— as he is, and — fruited this out— in full manifestation of: Christ in us— the hope of dignity (glory) once again: to be one with our Maker and Husband of us.

A son born anew— is the beginning— many born after Him, the Son. But the wife— is the ending, the maturity in culmination of the apex of unity, the mature fruiting out of elevated spiritual life in Christ Jesus— in the purity of the light of life: living and abiding in life— and abundantly so; that shall bring forth Christ in us— in the fullness of the measure: the man-child.

Isaiah 9:6-7

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government (governing us all) and peace (the at-one-ment of us all) —there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom— to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice— from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”

The great whore/woman of Babylon— is the impostor wife/bride of Christ— those who move in hypocrisy, actors, fakers; who are not living and abiding in the purity of the light of life, nor the purity of heaven’s love, and are not the representatives of New Jerusalem— but that of Babylon: two cities, two cultures, two minds, two laws, two loves— opposing one another: and the ‘church,’ in current state of being— is of both kingdoms:

New Jerusalem— those who are returning to the Lord God in reverence and exaltation, to cultivate and nourish the relationship with our heavenly Father, Maker, and Husband (spiritual partner) of us (the seed— the nature— and union); whereby they are joining themselves to the purity (sanctified structure— seed/nature) of love and truth— in their hearts; of which is demonstrated, manifested— through/by their living souls— walking and abiding in heaven (elevated spiritual life) within union to God— as he is; all the way to the full maturity of the seed (nature— walked and abided in) that was planted in them, structuring them as God is— from the very beginning. This is the pinnacle, the summit, the very top, the apex of mountain life— ascended on the Mountain of the Lord— or the heights of heaven (the elevated spiritual life, form, and union— with God). And it is the depths of the heart of God, known, loved, and joined to— which is now manifested in their spiritual souls; for they have seated on the throne of the heart— the Lord God— high and lifted up; whose mind is captured unto Christ Jesus, and his mind is in them— to know, love, and obey— serve— the law (and conduct of) the Spirit of Life (found in/of Christ Jesus): which is selfless, sacrificial, service-oriented— HEAVENLY LOVE: the hallowed fire (passions) lived.

And then those who are hypocrites in the church, currently, who have given way to the spirit of this world (hell), who are not returning to cultivate and nourish the seed (nature) of the Lord God in them— in the form of purity of love and truth; thereby not honoring or exalting their heavenly Father (only their infernal hellish father, the devil), nor their Maker (for they are made by the hand of satan— the selfish love of their own person who moves apart from God, and exalts spiritual ways and actions that God does not), nor the Husband of us— our spiritual partner— the Holy Spirit of Jesus; for they only walk in union with devils, via exaltation of satan (worship of satan, the carnal creation, in pride and lusts— not of God). These are not sanctifying their spiritual structure (message and witness— demonstrated in the law written in/of the heart— of God and his kingdom of elevated spiritual life— our true form and structure); nor do they discipline their hearts (spirit and soul) to obey God, unite with God— love God, nor move in the love of God; but instead— are high and lifted up upon the throne of their hearts— to obey their mind and law/conduct of the spirit of error-ed life (found in satan— devolved human spirit, darkness nature, the infernal passions of person): which is selfish, self-serving oriented— HELLISH LOVE: the infernal fire (passions) lived.

The people of New Jerusalem— the city of founded peace (of the hearts of men— spirit and soul); whereby Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit are high and lifted up in man’s heart (exalted in the high places, as well as revered there— respected); and this man is found in the atonement— where God and man make 1, no longer 2 individuals in the temple/house/vessel— but where the house, and contents of (faculties of the spiritual soul— mind, emotions, will, beliefs, ways, etc) are set as 1 now: one Spirit— the Lord God’s— ruling (bringing his law and conduct of) in a man, and reigning (highest regarded, obeyed, and loved) in a man: this is the pinnacle of relationship with God— when he raises the seed up (the nature of himself up) in a man’s high places; and it’s cultivated and nourished— that it should come into full maturity— and fruit out: birthing a man-child (a child of God who has come into the maturity of the Man, Christ Jesus); and the Man, Christ Jesus— now lives ‘as’ this child of God, through this child of God, this son of God— in the fullness of the stature of his spiritual person: the Holy Spirit of God— in rule (law/conduct) and reign (execution of the law and conduct of elevated spiritual life— heaven, and execution [success] of the leading of this man-child [mature partner— bride/woman/wife]): as now 2 = 1, echad, via shema, resulting in ahava. As the lesser (the spiritual-soul-man) melds into, joins, marries, and disappears ‘into’ the life of Jesus Christ, the Son of God— and is indivisible from his very person: as the Son is exalted into his rightful, exalted, revered, positions— in the spiritual souls of men: this is the new earth (souls of men), and the new heavens (spirits of men) who are now buried and arisen— into the resurrection and life of Christ Jesus: New Jerusalem— the Daughter (spiritual soul, wife/woman/bride, virginal) of Zion— into her maturity.

There is an immaturity of the seed, and a maturity of the seed— and our cultivating it, and our nourishing it— makes all the difference. The difference between cultivating a seed and nourishing it— is this: cultivating the seed lies in focusing upon taking care of the seed (keep my word and commandments, the form of the law of life) —providing a hospitable environment and protecting the seed (foundation and form of the nature— with its law and conduct of: attributes). And nourishing the seed— focuses on providing the essential nutrients for life and growth (eat of me, and drink of me— my truth and life— the Lord told us, his body and blood— or we have no life in us): one is to create the proper environment conducive to the light of life, in purity, in us: cleaning up the house/temple, kicking out darkness, coupling with the light and law and conduct of heaven. And the other is— how we do that— we eat and drink in/of the Lord God, and his Holy Spirit— coupling with God— and seeing, observing, knowing, obeying, loving— the truth (our true from in love and truth); his very life exalted AND revered in us— loved: the love of the Father in us: until we reach the perfection— or wholeness, maturity, in the stature of Christ Jesus— in/of us, ‘as,’ us: meaning— he becomes the Spirit, the Law, the Conduct, the Attributes, the Nature, the execution of the Nature— the unification of the purity of truth and love (law, and conduct of) walked and abided in: the seed that grew up into the Mighty Oak— the tree of Life, and Life— ABUNDANTLY— lived, within a man (Jesus Christ, the hope of dignity/glory in us): the Son/son —all the way to maturity in us (as we marry him), and birth out the fruit of the womb of unity (in love and truth), in maturity: the Man (mature) Child (son) of God.

A great truth is this— the whore of Babylon is overcome— when the spiritual souls of men repent, humble themselves, pray, seek God’s face to be revered, turned to, and exalted inside a spiritual soul-man’s life: religion can die, hypocrisy can die (be estranged, removed), darkness can be cast out— the light can once again shine unto and in us, the kingdom of God can be in rule (law written in hearts— spiritual message and witness/manifestation/testimony) and in reign (exaltation, and successful execution/accomplishment— of the spiritual message and witness) of the truth (true form of light of life— in purity), and love (the conduct of the law we live— of truth) —the kind that lays itself down to others, to life them up, and do what is right by them.

We CAN— come out of Babylon (the flesh, and law that is upheld in the hearts of men— there); and we can come into— New Jerusalem— the city and people founded in peace (the atonement, being set at/as 1): the Daughter of Zion:

Zechariah 9:9-10, Isaiah 62:11

“Rejoice greatly, O daughter [H1323: apple of my eye, branch, company of people, town, city, village, the first)] of Zion [H6726: the permanent capital of the mountain of Jerusalem]; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, your King (a reference to marrying the Lord God as our authority and husband of us) comes unto you (wise virgins— to lock himself in with, to marry, and bring forth the maturity of the fruit of the womb union): he is just, and having salvation [H3267: rescue, healing, deliverance, free and safe, defense, preservation, help, and victory], lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt— the foal of an ass. And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow [H4421: the fighting and warring, and archers— who shoot arrows] shall be cut off [H3772: shall be destroyed and consumed in covenant— in the making of alliance]: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen [H1471: the mass of foreign nations— troops of people]: and his dominion [H4915: empire— shall be parallel—beside one another (Ephraim and Jerusalem, and unto the masses of foreign nations)] —shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.

Behold, the Lord has proclaimed unto the end of the world— Say to the daughter [H1323: apple of my eye, branch, company of people, town, city, village, the first)] of Zion [H6726: the permanent capital of the mountain of Jerusalem] —Behold, your salvation [H3267: rescue, healing, deliverance, free and safe, defense, preservation, help, and victory] —comes; behold— his reward [H7939: payment of contract, reward, maintenance, benefit, price, worth] is with him, and his work [H6468: labor, reward, and payment/wages (like wages of life/union/honor, opposite of wages/reward of sin/disunion/dishonor)] before [H6440: in sight, present, and toward] him.”

Zion: Tsijon: the ‘marking,’ the ‘sign,’ or the ‘landmark’ of the mountain of Jerusalem.

The mountain of the Lord— the place where one climbs in ascension (upon the Son of man) —until he/she arrives at the summit: a sort of meeting ground where man and God interface— in mediations of heart and mind (the high places). Where one shall engage the Lord Jesus himself— and hear of God’s thoughts and heart, agenda, purposes, ways, and demeanor of; in the meditations, the contemplations, the reasoning in the Spirit (cool of the day) with him.

The summit of a mountain is essentially the place where one can climb up fairly well— meaning— one can reach it with effort, fortitude, resilience, and steadfastness. Up there in our meditations of heart and mind— we interface with God face to face. We place the focus/worship of our hearts and minds upon the things of the Lord. We meet him there to reason the things of life with him, listen, discuss, hear, heed, and obey the wisdom of the Lord God; as we bring him and his faithfulness (good & true) into remembrance; and we take captive every care of this world— to the rule and reign of our Lord, God, Father, Husband, Maker, and King. The summit is the topmost surface: the top most level ground: highest, rounded/broad, general geography or location commonly achievable.

The Pinnacle of a mountain is the sharp point, highest point of rock formation: it is described as a dizzying, narrow, potentially precarious in height— like the needle point of rock. While the summit of a mountain is the highest level of a mountain— a pinnacle of a mountain is a specific pointed tower tip of the mountain— separate from the main summit level itself. There can be many of them: dizzying, high & sharp, narrow, spire— like a steeple, steep rock.

{And interesting to note, as I love to look up root, archaic, definitions of words— where they come from, originate from: precarious originated from the meaning— derived from Latin prex (genitive precis), meaning ‘entreaty, prayer, or request’. Which would be EXACTLY what one would do at the pinnacle of the mountain of the Lord, where we meet God face to face— in our meditations of heart and mind (worship/communion)}

The Apex of a mountain is the uppermost point, or the highest pinnacle tower tip point; where all ascending lines or slopes— converge. It is the most geometric term— meaning— it represents the exact tip or vertex of the mountain: it emphasizes the culmination of the incline: the uppermost tip/point toward the sun: where slopes converge, and the pointed/vertex— or the top of the head— principle point— that comes from the root— to whirl at the top of the head, turning point, and the precise geometric top— is.

So— in relationship to the Lord God— and ascending the Son of man in relating–ship union with the Lord God at the highest levels (the mountain of Zion, where the land there is marked); we are to climb, endure, remain steadfast in giving God our whole mind, heart, soul, and with all our effort/strength; so that we shall reach the summit: where God and man see, perceive, hear, and hearken to one another— face to face. It is where man enters into the most hallowed place, the most holy place— where God and man interface. It is the place where all concepts and concerns, all matters of life, godliness, troubles, victories, attributes and supplies of heaven are entertained— and accomplished in this holy communion— as we exalt and revere the Lord God and his kingdom, rule, and reign.

But there are peaks, as well— upon this summit, highest level; where other men do not continue on to, because they are satisfied with the upper chamber conversations— where many of the remnant gather unto— to discuss the broad concepts of human life with the Lord; as he reveals himself in the ways of higher thoughts and ways— concerning them: and man and God meet— and join, and walk these concepts, circumstances, and undertakings out: as one. But there are high points, pinnacles, and even apex communion with the Lord God, as well: where one does not only desire to speak face to face with God— about all things. But where the communion changes, it shifts— and one finds themselves ‘in’ Christ Jesus— meeting with God in a different way, concerning different things; and maintaining a presence in the most holy communion that can take place with God, ‘in’ God, unto God.

There is a place in deep communion within/of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit— where God shall take a man from summit, mountain top, highest level conversations and reasoning with the Holy Spirit of God in Christ Jesus— concerning all things. Where the ‘concerning all things,’ dissipates… and the concerns, and topics, questions and inquiries about our lives, our experiences, heaven, hell, the earth, the realms, mantles, callings, giftings, power, dominion, authority, rule, reign, and all other concepts of created life— ceases: and the Lord God gives an invitation to come to the apex of unified communion and intimacy— where one goes beyond the summit highest level ground at the top; and God bids a man to come all the way into the mind, awares, heart, life, and person of the Son; that he should take you to his thoughts and contemplations upon— the Father of us.

This apex of mountain life with Jesus— for he IS the mountain or Rock. He IS the highest level summit of interfacing with God face to face— in the Holy Spirit: but ‘IN HIM’ there is MORE: there is the depths of his worship of the Father.

There is a place in the apex of the meditation of our heart, and mind— in what we give ourselves over to; that brings us face to face with the Father of us— ‘in’ — Christ Jesus; where he will bring you face to face, not only ‘with/unto’ your Father of you: but he will take you into the depths of HIS PERSON to see HOW HE INTERFACES WITH THE FATHER: where you shall see, hear, and perceive the intimate conversations, communion, between Father and Son— and he will show you his worship of the Father.

This apex— is to be able to join the highest levels of worship that the Son accomplishes unto the Father of us: he invites us to worship the heart and mind of the Father: where the only one who exists— is the Father of us. Where Jesus’ heart and thoughts are— concerning our Father: what they focus in and upon, what the experience is like in that perfect, quiet, gentle, interfacing —between Father and Son: where the only thing that exists— is the Father— in the eyes of the Son: and in that— he experiences the Father in the depths of his person. And all the Father is— the Son abides in, and as: and this invitation is unto all of us— in Christ Jesus.

When the world life, the realms, the concerns, topics, questions and inquiries about our lives, our experiences, heaven, hell, the earth, mantles, callings, giftings, power, dominion, authority, rule, reign, and all other concepts of created life— cease: then— does life and life abundantly— in the only one who truly IS OUR BEING— ITSELF— is brought to the forefront of our being (heart, soul, mind, intentions): and we are brought into true remembrance, true worship, true communion, true knowledge, awares, experience, understanding— of God himself: where all else is silenced, quieted, and only the person of God is what is left in the spiritual soul of man: and his worship is not only pure— but mature.

Our Lord God is desiring we would all put forth our full effort in this lifetime of the spiritual and eternal souls of men; that we should ascend, climb, continue, endure, and reach the summit of relating-ship with him: where we meet him face to face about ALL THINGS. But he would also like to invite us to come all the way back ‘into’ him, where all you see, hear, perceive, know, and experience— IS HIM: that is the apex of heaven it/himself.

Glory to God. He truly is giving us all things— and we need only to step into them with him, as he leads us higher: the seed must take— within us. The seed of communion with the Lord and Father of us— whereby we desire to learn of him— but then assimilate into ‘what’ he is; that we should be able to join him— ‘as’ he is: and be brought all the way around to— the depths of the knowledge ‘of God,’ himself: in/of Christ Jesus— and his Holy Spirit.

How far will you go with Christ Jesus, covenant, union, and toil/work/apply yourself in ascension in/upon life union with him? Because the apex is available, even if few ever reach that ascended, elevated, spiritual life with him— where the Son/son worships the Father— and unifies in all he is: that is the separated, fully mature, partner (wife) of the Lord God, in Christ Jesus: for it takes one to be ‘inside’ Christ Jesus, as the Son, whereby they marry him spiritually, bury themselves in him, and resurrect through him— to reach the climactic apex (highest point of intensity, importance, and purpose— nearing the end), highest pinnacle point possible— in the depths of intimacy with our Author of us (our Father): to see, perceive, know, experience— a perfect, mature, whole union— as how the Lord Jesus, the Word of God— meets the Author of all life; and comes into mature knowledge, understanding, experience, and union— with him: the mature sons/children of the Lord— who are sanctified (spotlessly cleansed), ironed out in form and conduct of the law of life (wrinkle-free), who joined to the Father, in and through the life of Jesus the Son— whereby they fruited out the produce of that union: and have come all the way back to the only thing that exists in the true reality of spirit: the Father of us: and to know him as he is.

John 15:5

"I am the vine, you are the branches: He who abides in me, and I in him— the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing."

HE DESIRES MAN WOULD YIELD TO HIS LIFE— that he would live from man, and express himself fully— to all of his creation (others, and the cosmos itself). That man would be his partner who shall receive of him, who shall grow up, and who shall reproduce— him— in the fullness of the stature; as Jesus and the Holy Spirit take us ALL THE WAY BACK— in reciprocal and requited love— to our Father/Author/Maker of our life: that we should be one with his Spirit— in our souls— as living beings in the spiritual and material: and walk and talk, and abide with him, as we join, as he leads— in the Ruach/Spirit of the day.

THAT— is his dream: and the seed (nature) of Christ Jesus— that has been planted in us all, through cultivating it (accomplishing the right environment of our inner man, heart, soul, mind), and nourishing it— feeding it the bread of life— can we come all the way to being mature sons/children/offspring; who marry the Lamb— and are sanctified, hallowed, consecrated, dedicated— to see, know/perceive, experience, heed and hearken unto the Father/Author of them; unto a mature union— that brings forth the fruit of the union of love and truth— all the way to the full stature of Christ Jesus in them: the man-child, which is also— the one who is at the highest level of union with the Father of us— as Jesus the Son was in his soul (earth) life.

The soul— receives the seed (nature) of life. The soul of man— is the Mrs. to his Mr. (the Spirit). He is the head of us, the apex, the uppermost pinnacle— that takes us all the way to perfect union with the Father part of God, our Author: whereby we were conceived in the depths of his inner person; and brought forth of his hand.

We, living spiritual-souls of men in bodies called the temple/vessel/house of the Lord… We were always the receivers of his divine person— into— us: he the transmitter, and we the receiver: he who is to speak— we who are to listen. He who is to lead— we who are to follow. He who is to take care for us— we who are to believe and worship him in his faithfulness of person. He who is the Seed Nature himself— we who are the ground who receive him. And we were told to toil or work— the ground, the earth— THE SOUL: that it should be a hospitable environment for him (in the mediations of our heart and mind); that we should nourish the seed of life (the nature of life) that the Lord God planted in us— from the beginning: feeding the divine structural nature of us— in/by/with— the Bread of Life: direct communion with the only, and one true God and Maker of us: who is our Husband.

These are all parabolic and metaphorical, symbolic, understanding of spiritual concepts we are to come into: he is the Father/Author/Maker of us— and of life and the construct of— the law of life itself: and we are to be his children who spring forth of what he authored us in: the seed of the nature and life of God himself: in the purity of the light of life. He is our Husband: because we are to come to maturity as an offspring of his— gaining the form again as children— through the cultivation and nourishing of the seed (divine nature and spiritual structure of us, and that law and conduct within us) of the pure light of life; to go on— to a full ‘union’ to the seed (nature and law) that he sewed in us— as children/offspring— coming forth of him on the Vine: that we would marry, join, assimilate, intertwine— with the fullness of the nature and law of life (seed); that we would grow into mighty oaks— from being fed of the tree of Life himself; that we would bring forth Christ Jesus himself— in us— as his mature spiritual partners: the bride who made herself ready.

Sons/children, bride/wife/women— these are all metaphorical roles we are to ‘be’ with God: all different stages of our growth (like, in perfect order, you cannot be a mother— before becoming a wife; and a wife cannot become a married spouse— before coming to maturity from childhood first. And a child must be raised up in the way, the proper structure and order— before they can ascend into adulthood).

We have not understood who God is— from his perspective, told of his very person— for so long in the souls of men (because we are of the natural man’s mind, mostly, and adopt what other men think and thus believe). But if we listened to him ‘spiritually,’ which is most closely understood in the way of —symbolically, figuratively: we would understand how he is the Author/Maker/Creator/Father of us; but also— the Holy Spirit, comforter, spiritual message and Messenger of the Covenant, the Witness— of God with men— the Word— as the Son; but also— our Husband of us: when we go all the way onto full maturity in/of God.

He is the greatest story teller there is— and he loves good metaphor and parables— to couple with the literal of all his history (his-story): we are to seek, dig, uncover— as much as he is to reveal, uncover, and show— himself, the truth, and his dreams of how he desired, how he envisioned his life with man would be: in the utopia of perfect union, environment, and fellowship.

One of the definitions of mountain is— promotion; and the root definition of promotion is— from the Latin prōmōtiōn- ‘a moving forward or advancement’, derived from prōmoveō, meaning to ‘move forward,’ ‘push onward,’ or ‘advance’. It entered Middle English (c. 1400) as ‘advancement in rank, honor, or position.’ And that reminds me of the position of the apex, the epitome of relating to/with the Lord God— in awares of his very person once again; but also— the onward, upward, to the highest calling ‘in’ Christ Jesus: to unite with and know our Father in the depths of him.

Philippians 3:14

"I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

And, once again, ‘the mark, landmark’ is the definition and placement of mount Zion/Tsijon— the capital and mountain of Jerusalem: (daughter of Zion) the apple of His eye, the branch, company, the first, children, and city: and the capital of New Jerusalem. Capital meaning— seat of government, chief, excellent, the preeminent city; root definition— The root definition of capital is ‘of or pertaining to the head,’ derived from the Latin caput (genitive capitis), meaning ‘head’. By extension, it came to mean ‘chief, principal, primary,’ or ‘the head city.’

I love the symbolism (spiritual context) of scripture: The land (spiritual souls of men in body) is marked, sealed, a landmark itself; and representative of New Jerusalem, and the apex of ascension in the Lord God himself— when the apple of His eye, the branch company, the first fruits, the children of the Lord and city of (New Jerusalem) —cultivate and nourish the Seed (nature of Christ Jesus, of God himself, and law and conduct of) inside of their souls; to the point of full maturity— as they partner, yoke— and learn of God— and then join him ‘in being’ that seed (nature) in union with him— in maturity of soul expression led of God himself: these are they who are the capital ones— who have exalted the Head of them: their Author of life, their Father, their spiritual partner— in the Holy Spirit of God, their Savior and Kinsmen Redeemer who comes to marry to them as the Lamb, the Son in whom all sons shall find their being; all thy way to being ‘as he is,’ by his leadership of them, as they become his wife/woman/bride: who got all cleaned up in the nature (seed), cultivated it within them, and nourished it as they ate of the Bread of the Life Himself— taking in all he is, bowing to him and it: to in maturity— fruit out the union of this— in the man-child (the mature offspring of God) come forth: reaching the full stature of Christ— in them— in full expression: the apex pinnacle of spiritual life.

THAT— is who and what New Jerusalem is: and who their God, Maker, Father, Husband, Savior, and King of them— IS: the peculiar people— both priestly (what he is, as he is) and kingly (how his person is ruled, and reigned within his law and conduct of): who shall come forth and BE the Living Message & Witness— for it is what they are, and it is who they are— IN HIM: He— comes forth— in them, to express the fullness of his life— through them: as they are now 1 entity— with him as the Head of them.

Top of the mountain (H7218: rosh): the Head, place, rank, beginning, captain, chief, chapiter (uppermost pillar/life who supports the whole), uppermost, excellent, first, forefront, height, highest, priest, lead, principal, ruler, sum— top: the apex pinnacle of God: Jesus, the Father, Lamb, Son, Kinsman Redeemer, Maker, Creator, Husband, Comforter, Savior, Healer, Reconciler, Headship of God: the Uppermost— to our uttermost.

Zechariah 9:9-10, Isaiah 62:11

Maturation— the process of becoming fully developed, ripe, or grown, covering physical, mental, or emotional growth —over time. It refers to reaching a final, advanced stage in humans, or substance. Root definition— rooted in the Latin mātūrāre ‘to ripen or grow ripe’ and mātūrus ‘ripe, timely’, it describes the natural progression of an organism, fruit, or entity— toward its final, fully developed state.

Transcendence— the action and state of transcending: to rise above, exceed, or go beyond the limits, boundaries, or expectations of something (growth & victory). It signifies surpassing a former standard. Key synonyms include exceed, surpass, excel, outdo, and surmount. Root definition of transcend: ‘to climb over or beyond,’ originating from the Latin trānscendere. It is derived from the prefix trans- meaning- ‘across, beyond’ + scandere -meaning- ‘to climb’. It signifies going beyond limits, rising above limitations, or surpassing expectations.

The seed (nature, law, conduct, form) was in Jesus— and when he died, the seed was buried— and died: that it should be birthed out again, born again— in us— via his Holy Spirit— that was shed unto us all— to fill all things, and bring us ‘into’ all truth (the seed, the form, the law and conduct of): to produce more fruit now: the act of propagation, which means— to increase in reproduction (fruit); by our joining to his Spirit and coming always ‘into’ the truth (the seed, form, law, conduct) all the way to maturity: transcendence, in/of ascension— in/upon the Son of man, to the apex of spiritual elevated union with the Lord God— as he is— through growth, until the fully developed, unified, state of being —comes forth: the man-child: Christ in us— the hope of re-dignification (re-glorified) —as the seed comes full circle: the circle of Life— where God lives in us, ‘as’ us.

John 12:24

"Verily, verily, I say unto you— Except a corn of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone: but if it dies— it brings forth much fruit."

That we should die— too: the old done away with, the new assumed, joined, lived: that others as well— should see the laid down life, no greater love— that they too should convert, and be saved to the uttermost: that the seed does not die alone— but dies and joins the souls of men (the dirt), as the seed is buried like treasure there— in the field; that it should bring forth life— and life abundantly: and then fruit out— that more seed of this kind should go forth in the earth (souls of men); that men should turn around within— and ascend, climb, the mountain of God (the Rock) —that the Lamb, who is the Lion— the Head of Judah (H3063) —the celebrated: the tribe descended from the ‘first’ —and of its/his territory: also used referred to as Bethlehem-Judah in conjunction with H1035, meaning— house of bread: Zion, New— Jerusalem (the people founded in the atonement/peace) —at the Apex himself— the Head, the Celebrated, the First— and His territory (rule and reign, domain, people): who are those of Bethlehem-Judah: the celebrated territory and people of the house of Bread: the Life of Jesus, YahShua Ha Mashiach, the Christ and Lamb of God.

These New Jerusalem, branch and company of people— the people of the daughter (bride reference) of Zion/Tsijon —the Chief, highest, Marked— anointed, of the City founded in/of the atonement/peace (Jerusalem) —are found in the life of the Apex of God himself: Jesus Christ: and they have come all the way back to the unified, like/same/as Jesus demonstrated— relationship with the Father of them; where all that is them— is in union with the Author of their life: and he does his works— in/of/from them.

John 14:10

“Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of/from myself (referencing originating— of the Father): but the Father that dwells (in me).”

That happens— when man as the vessel of God, the image— the likeness— not the Original: remembers his Father— and joins his/her life to His: and 2— become 1 entity— in the fullness of life— in the spiritual living soul of man: New Earth— souls and bodies of men who embody God himself, as he lives from them, as them: all the way to the culminating climax apex, or pinnacle of that embodiment: the fullness of the stature of Christ— in/from us: where the Father now does his works in his children, not sometimes— but all the time: in the man-child: visitation vs. habitation— whereby we STAY FIXED IN HIM, AND HE IN US— + obedience + reverent, + reciprocal + requited, in— LOVE and TRUTH (true form, nature, law/conduct): which brings a man unto maturity of the seed (nature) in them: and thus— into the maturity of Christ shining and working out of them: the bride— who has made herself ready— to receive the fullness of union.

1 John 3:2

“We are God's children now, and what we will be— has not yet been revealed. But we know that when he appears [G5319: manifests himself] — we will be like him— because we will see [G3700: gaze upon with wide open eyes (more than mechanical, casual, observation), with earnest inspection, watching] him as he is.”

We shall mature in his seed (nature and person) when we transcend, ascend in change— or conversion, through our meditations of heart and mind— taking all captive to him; as we climb up in him— to know God again: and as we earnestly inspect him there, face to face; and as we watch him— whilst yoked to him; and while we keep our eyes wide open spiritually (more than mechanically and casually, earthly) —we shall gaze upon his innermost: and that shall develop us to the uttermost— as we behold him (spiritually) we become as he is.

2 Corinthians 3:18

"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass (purity of light reflected— the form, the law, the conduct, the execution of) the glory of the Lord— are changed into the same image— from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."

The Spirit of the Lord has all the ability, skill, and know-how —to take us to the heights of God in the ascension (which is Jesus). And from there— all the way to the depths of the Father, in the heart and mind of God. How far we ascend, or delve into the depths— is completely up to us, our yield, our obedience, our love, our climb, desire, focus, worship, and meditations of our heart and mind: will we cultivate and nourish the seed of God in us? Because if we will— the heights and depths of God— shall be before us: mature union— man-child relating-ship with God; as our Father lives his Spirit, essence, and being— doing his works— with us, and through us: together— as 1, Echad, via Shema, into— Ahava.

He once said to me— and I will never forget this— he said: “You see me as a man. And I shall thank you for that— for all of eternity.” And as I have delved deeply into that since— it is because I see him as one who experiences all I do, but also has my best interest at hand— like a husband to his wife; as well as the Head to my thoughts— like the Father was to him in his soul life in earth; like someone that has feelings, and a will, contemplations, and desires, a structure to his inward parts, a way about him, likes and dislikes, attributes of his personality, messages, and contents of love, emotions, passions, pursuits, knowledge, understanding, wisdom, and more; that I actually desire and endeavor to KNOW him in/as.

Folks— that is the summation (to me) of all things, for this spiritual-soul-girl: to know God in what he is, in how he is, in what way he is— AND WHY: that I should join him there in the depths of requited love: where 2 now exist as 1 entity— completely given to each other in love, truth, righteousness, the nature and law and conduct of God and godliness; under him as my headship (the grownup, to my growing up): that is not only heaven to me— but the epitome of: perfect— or whole, divine, unified life— with our Maker and Father of us.

He is the Giver— I am the Receiver of all he is, has, and brings forth— who shall return to him what he sent forth and invested into me: and so are you to be: and in that— we are all 1 in Christ Jesus. He is our Mister, we are his Missus: he is the Spirit (we are buried in him) and we are his spiritual-soul— in earth (living vessel being— being 1 with us— in the faculties of us).

He shall light the mind with his person— and fill our hearts with his love and law (conduct, nature, seed): will we obey his seed— in our minds? For that is the fertile ground of love and obedience walked out: the heart is the place the mind is filled from: developing the soil in/of the heart and its affections, motivations, spiritual pursuits, and desires— feeds our minds (thoughts, reasoning, dwelling or ruminations); and our mind— thoughts that we ruminate upon (meditate on) shows us the god/God who is enthroned within— in whom we obey, in the mind: for the mind and heart working together— causes a man to WILL, to do. When we are loving, obeying, and disciplining ourselves in our reasonable service to mediate upon, dwell upon, ruminate upon, cast up the Lord God and his mind and heart: we shall have the will of God cast up— and we shall be moved by him, his lead; and we shall be the children of God who are led of the Spirit of God— to do the will (good pleasures of his heart): where the Father performs —his workings— in/of his offspring.

He has a bride for the Lamb. The Father has a bride, a spiritually mature partner to the Lamb: the one who gave himself to the people: and she is in love with he who gave himself for her. She seeks to exalt him to the highest, and go there with him— to the heights of spiritual maturation (the pinnacle); and when she does— she shall see him as he is: the Apex, the topmost, the uppermost of God himself— over the church— who leads all back to the Father, and Author of life.

The Father, the Author of life— KNOWS— who has/is given in heart (soul, mind, will, ways, nature, love, obedience) to the Lamb: he who sacrificed and spilled forth all of himself— for them. They are a people who desire to go ‘all the way’ with God, join, marry, become, yield to him, and let him have his way within them: birthing out a man-child maturity, the fullness of the stature— of the Anointed one— in them: who will go forth and make more of the very same: disciple makers of the nations (unified ones of the nations).

Our worship and obedience— is birthed of our mediations of heart, mind, soul, and affections of: we are to ‘give ourselves over to him,’ in the mind, heart (where his spiritual message and witness meets) the soul faculties of man, with all we’ve got: no laziness, laxity, or faithlessness (lack of fidelity, or apathy). And when we do love him this way, as he asked of us to do— it is then that we shall see him, know him, and become one with him— as he is: his dream for humanity.

The sons or children have had the seed of the Lord planted within them from the beginning; it was our original structure and knowledge of all things— of that of God and his kingdom. But for many children (spiritually immature persons) in/of this realm— that seed has not been nourished and cultivated (cared for). It is the reason that the Lord says— Put this yoke on you and learn of me: it is a call to the remembrance of our original structure, Maker, and Father of us. But it is when the mature child, or son of God, shall choose to couple with our original spiritual structure, operating system, and law and conduct of it— as that of our heavenly Father himself; when the bride of Christ shall come forth in union— to be as God is, now, no other way lived, only as God is; that she will be cleaned up— sanctified by the form of truth, made spotless; and ironed out in her law written in/upon her heart— love; and then that she shall beget the fruit of the womb of love— that births us out in our proper form, in the purity of the light of life— in Christ Jesus: a man-child: a mature child of God: a person who is in unity of form— as that of Christ Jesus, and in unity of the law conduct of Christ Jesus— walked in, and abided in— of love and truth— in maturity: full stature.

That is the apex, that is the pinnacle of not only learning of God, remembering God, and our true identity (form and conduct/law) of us— but it is WALKING ‘and’ ABIDING in love and truth— following his commandments (law and conduct of): the bride, when she is sanctified in/by the truth, and moving in heaven’s selfless/sacrificial/service-oriented love: this is when the child of God, becomes the manifesting children of God— in the fullness of the stature of Christ Jesus: for he is manifesting his spiritual maturity, and very person— in/of them: they are HIS VESSEL who HONORS him— as he the head, the Lord, the Mister— to his Mrs: this is the spiritual soul of man— given to his Father, Maker, and Husband: two living like/same/as in law and conduct of, in heaven’s light of life, in the same house (soul and body), as the only spirit now entertained— is the one spirit there is: the Holy Spirit of God— in message and witness of the kingdom of God, its Christ, our heavenly Father— and its righteousness: this is his dream— and what he tells me is— ‘His apex of accomplishment.’

Will we meet him in it??!! If you could make ‘God’s dreams come true,’ would you???

Because you can— for he told us his desire:

2 Peter 3:9

“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

The Lord does not have apathy toward us, he is not tardy, or lazy— he fulfills his side of the covenant— and is actively pursuing and recovering us, as he reconciles us to himself. Desiring that all would turn around and truly LOOK/BEHOLD HIM again: which means— gaze upon with wide open eyes (more than mechanical, casual, observation), with earnest inspection, watching— like 1 John said: actively observe (spiritually, in our worship time, focus, and mediations— to love and obey what, who, and how he is— as we see him face to face): and if we shall do this— in heart, mind, soul, with all we’ve got of motivation, effort, and pursuit in endurance: we shall not perish— but join and be saved— as we exalt him, revere him, and humble ourselves to ascend in elevated spiritual life once again: the path is narrow, tight, thronged, and arduous— BUT OH SO WORTH THE HUMBLING OF THE HUMAN SOUL!!! For the reward— IS GOD HIMSELF— FACE TO FACE— with the living soul of man!!!

Arduous —originates from the Latin word arduus, meaning ‘steep, high’ or ‘difficult to climb.’ First used in English in the 1530s, it originally described literal steep physical challenges before shifting to represent figurative, labor-intensive tasks that require great energy, effort, and endurance.

Endurance —originates from the Latin term indurare, meaning ‘to make hard,’ or ‘harden,’ derived from in- ‘in’ and durus ‘hard’. It signifies the ability to withstand stress, hardship, or pain —by remaining firm and steadfast, essentially ‘hardening resolve’ in/of oneself— from within— to continue, last, or persist.

Philippians 4:13

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

A son is raised up to know God, his rule or law, regulations of his person— his nature and discipline, his character, his principles, demeanor, general conduct and attributes of his form— yoke and learn of him, and be transformed into ‘as he is.’ His wife or bride, his woman— joins him in all of this— in mature fullness of stature, and EXECUTES his form, his law, his conduct, his presence— as she HOSTS HIM— in his headship role (her missus to his mister, her soul— to his Spirit, her mind— to his, her ways— to his, her law— to his, her works and words— given over to his): for she ‘gives herself over to’ her Husband and Maker.

And in THAT— his fullness of the stature of ‘walking in the cool of the day,’ is fulfilled in us: he— leading us in this walk/journey, race.

Hebrews 12:1-2

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset us, and let us run —with patience— the race that is set before us: looking unto Jesus— the author and finisher— of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him —endured the cross— despising the shame— and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

1 Corinthians 9:24

“Do you not know that those who run in a race— all run— but ‘one’ receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain.”

All who enter a race, run, and finish— but not all win the prize. We shall be in heaven with him (elevation of Spirit, see him, perceive him— as much as we put in effort, time, worship, focus, and yield to him); but do we go ‘all the way’ to his dream— for most stop short? Do we desire to obtain the ‘high calling’ (high invitation) in/of Christ Jesus?? Because there is one— and one is the answer: echad, shema, ahava— the apex. There is one high calling— and we can attain it!!! It will only take loving God with all we’ve got of soul— mind and will, all our heart of union and obedience to his Spirit— as we yield in/through reciprocal and requited love.

Philippians 3:14

“I press toward the mark (Zion/Tsijon) for the prize— of the high [G507: upward, on the top] calling [G2821: invitation] of God— in [G1722: positioned, resting in, at] Christ Jesus."

There is a people marked by God— as Zion, in/of New Jerusalem, who are at the pinnacle apex of the summit of this race of life— in/with Christ Jesus; who hear him calling them, inviting them, to come up higher: not all will. But it is the Apex Himself, the uppermost that we can ascend in him— where we come face to face with our Father, to behold him— learn of him, know him— as the Lamb himself did and does— in Jesus the Son.

Shall we press on— where most do not go?? Shall we obtain the prize at the top of the climb??

The seed— all the way to— the spotless, wrinkle-free bride— who makes herself ready to receive him— at his coming: the process of maturation (growth), transcendence (moving, converting, changing), via ascension (climbing up higher with effort) upon/in/of the Son of man (the Lamb), joining him face to face at the summit of the Mountain/Rock of God— to go forward all the way to the pinnacle Apex of God: to know and join the Father— as a son/offspring/child of the Most High Elohim. And in that— see the Father come forward in the greater works than that of any other generation!

The seed, the sons/children, the growth, the transcendence, the ascension— born of mediations of heart and mind obedience— captive to him— exalting what he does, the climb with effort, the yield with/of love, the conformation— with/desire, the joining, marrying, consummation, in sanctification and consecration— that leads to the mature company and people of God: like a wife gives herself to her husband, knows him, and brings forth fruit of the union.

I pray this blesses you richly in Christ Jesus— for it is by far— the culminating apex, or pinnacle, of spiritual understanding of all he has shown me of his people, himself, their union, their process, progress, opposition to this, and victory of this union: in the culmination of his dreams come true.

I pray— we will go all the way— to the Apex of the union: where dreams come true (both his and ours).

Apex: the unified mature wife of the Lamb: seed to harvest
