Psalm 102
18 Let this be written for a future generation,
that a people not yet created may praise the LORD :
25 In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
26 They will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
Like clothing you will change them
and they will be discarded.
27 But you remain the same,
and your years will never end.
THERE IS "A PEOPLE NOT YET CREATED" OR THERE WAS AT THAT TIME.
Isaiah 48
6 You have heard these things; look at them all.
Will you not admit them?
"From now on I will tell you of new things,
of hidden things unknown to you.
7 They are created now, and not long ago;
you have not heard of them before today.
So you cannot say,
'Yes, I knew of them.'
CONFIRMATION THAT CREATION IS CONTINUING
Jeremiah 31
22 How long will you wander,
O unfaithful daughter?
The LORD will create a new thing on earth”
a woman will surround [a] a man."
WHAT IS THIS? I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS TYPE OF CREATURE BEFORE. IS IT THE "PRESENCE," A FEMALE GIRASAS?
Ephesians 2
10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
One in Christ
11Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called "uncircumcised" by those who call themselves "the circumcision" (that done in the body by the hands of men)” 12remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
THE GIRASAS WERE ONCE FAR AWAY AND IN THE DESCRIBED PROCESS OF DESCENT THE TWO DRAW CLOSER TOGETHER AND BECOME ONE FOR A TIME BEFORE SEPARATING AGAIN.
14For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, 16and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. 17He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. 18For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
CHRIST PUT AN END TO THEIR HOSTILITY.
19Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, 20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
AS THE TIME IS RIGHT AND GOD HAS PREPARED US FOR THIS WORK, WE ARE BEING BUILT TO BECOME A DWELLING FOR THIS SPIRIT.
PERSONALLY, I THINK IT MIGHT HURT AND AS AFRAID AS I AM TO PARTICIPATE IN THE JOINING, THE THOUGHT OF THE SEPARATING THAT OCCURS AFTER A TIME TOGETHER CAUSES ME MUCH MORE CONSTERNATION THAN THE JOINING.
