12.3 The Kingdom Being Built
Consider the world as it is right now, including as it has been across the decades of our life experiences. Then, put your mind upon a conception of the world as it will be fifty years after the resurrection of the sons of God, that is, the world as it will be fifty years into the Age of Tabernacles, fifty years after the Apocalypse.
We have three questions. What will be the shape of that world and the interaction of all functions of society? How does it become? And – What is our personal role in the transition? The problem is that all human conjecture, whether Christian or non-Christian, about what makes for a “better world,” is fundamentally flawed because this age is not understood.
A Shattered Center. I continue to refine the wording of the pathways of power to increase our understanding.
The world we have known is built on these perversions of God’s speaking. The cause of this broken world is the horror at the center, shattering everything. Every person perceives himself as “on my own against all.” The result is that everything is externalized, pushed “out there.”
Silence. All conception of “making the world a better place” focuses on tweaking the externals, even while ignoring absolutely the horror at the center.
Here are two verses that deal with the horror at the center; they mean the exact same thing. That every mouth might be closed, and the entire cosmos brought under judgment before God (Romans 3:19). – Then, when the Lamb removed the seventh seal, there was silence inside of heaven for about half an hour (Revelation 8:1). In Romans and Revelation both, this silence is a momentary state BECAUSE the center must be filled immediately with the speaking of Christ.
Out from Fellowship. We have placed knowing the Father at the center, but what is knowing the Father through knowing Jesus Sent? And what is knowing one another through knowing the Father? For our present purpose, then, we place one word at the center. – Fellowship.
The world of today comes out from the core of accusation, a shattering of everything into isolated self for self. And the structure of society is ordered by the most ruthless, those most determined to control others for self-gain. The world as it will be fifty years after the resurrection comes out from the core of Fellowship, the continual Fellowship that the sons of God enjoy together, irrespective of anything else.
No Accusation at All. Now, someone who thinks by the tree of death might look at the last two lessons and say, “Are you suggesting that all you have to do is use a different set of words in your lingo and then everything will be hunky dory?” Changing the external, adjusting the laws, replacing the influencers, recalibrating the schools, all is a waste of time because accusation is unaffected.
The new Language spoken in a new Spirit as I have described thus far is descriptive of the Fellowship at the center, a continual conversation that contains no accusation at all. This Fellowship taking place, even if it is unseen by the masses, will order everything of human life and interaction by its very nature.
The Sharing from Every Part. Let’s bring in Paul’s description of how Fellowship builds the Kingdom throughout all heaven-earth. Out from [Jesus] the whole body, being joined together and being held together through every joint of its supply or provision, according to the energeia inside the sharing from every part, causes growth of the body into the construction of itself inside of love (Ephesians 4:16).
That word “sharing” is koinonia, fellowship, every resurrected son of God enjoying Fellowship together, knowing the Father together and knowing one another. The “construction of the body inside of love” extends entirely into the construction of the Kingdom inside of Love.
After the Apocalypse. Let’s think about some differences between the world fifty years after the Apocalypse and the world today. And for our present purposes, let’s define the “Apocalypse” as that moment when everyone realizes that Jesus has been here, walking this earth all along. The Church, which is His Body, the fulness of Christ who fills all inside of all (Ephesians 1:23). And they discover this is true when they see Christians loving one another as Jesus through them.
Possibly the most visible difference is that all demons are gone from the human experience, replaced by a more visible heavens and of true angels towards humans.
A Puzzle. It is obvious that we can know very little about how humans might operate with demons gone and angels visible. In Ephesians 2, Paul said that the demonic energeoes, that is, anoints, the sons of opposition in their hostility towards God. There cannot be a vacuum. All humans are symmorphic and must contain other persons inside themselves.
We have this puzzle, then, that humans are not made for the indwelling of angels; being energeoed by fallen angels is an actuality that goes contrary to nature. On the other hand, God still will never force Himself upon anyone. It seems evident that millions of people will live their lives without becoming resurrected sons of God.
No More Psychopaths. It is possible that all alive will be as outer-court Christians, energeoed by the Spirit in their spirits, but with zero knowledge of that inside their souls, living their lives with a limited awareness of God, matching their own desire. This is speculation only, and we can go no further.
With the absence of demons, however, there will be an absence of psychopaths, that is, humans determined to gain for self from the loss of others, without any conscience. Psychopathy, however, is an agreement between a human and demons, with the human always in charge. It is possible that all who would hold to the advantage of psychopathy will perish during the completion of this age.
An Absence of Politics. Political structures in the present world are how psychopaths at the top exert their control throughout all levels of society, of humans and demons interacting together. Political structures are found in all societal functions, not just government. You put people together with money and you get politics, a continual vying for power over others.
With the removal of all fallen angels from the human experience, all political structures will vanish as well, as fog before the wind. This absence of all political structures will likely be the single largest change in the outward appearance of human society from the moment of the resurrection.
Learning God’s Way. HOWEVER – our study of Revelation has confirmed to us that the sons of God cast all demonic influence out from the Church BEFORE they are removed from the world. This is the removal of the seven seals preventing Christians from knowing Jesus already written upon their hearts.
If this is 100 million or more people, as we hope, we are looking at multiplied millions learning to relate together without any political structures prior to the resurrection. Learning to relate by God’s governance for His people will be less important than just staying alive, and helping one another to do so. In fact, the first parts of learning God’s Way for human living will come out from helping one another to stay alive while the world all around has gone insane.
This Transition. Our purpose in this lesson is now coming into view. When we say, “the Kingdom to be built,” we mean – How will all human/angelic society be ordered?
The world does not end; history does not stop. The transition from the Age of God’s Patience to the Age of Tabernacles is a big deal. More than that, there is no “deux ex machina,” that is, no appearance of God apart from regular folk, His Church. There is a Kingdom to be built and NOT by force.
Yet here is our first certainty. That society, as it will be operating in full maturity fifty years after the resurrection, begins now out from those inside of whom is NO accusation at all, those who KNOW only the Father at their center.
Knowing God by Heart. This is the answer to – What is our personal role in the transition? – Everything begins out from knowing the Father by heart, those who share Hheart with God. Thus all the flow of power dynamics begins with one singular thing – knowing God by heart.
Now, we are not attempting to “predict the future.” But in order to see the flow and movement of the power of God flowing through us into our world, I want to set out a timeline from the present moment to a mature society fifty years after the resurrection. We set out the fifty-year mark because at that point, a second generation is moving into adulthood, and because fifty means Jubilee – creation set free.
A Timeline.
We remain real humans, as God made us, and learning Christ is a movement, a process, through time. The Church cannot do anything for the world until she knows Jesus for real.
Waiting for the Real. What about the millions, or even billions of humans still alive after the transition of the age? They are waiting for the REAL to begin to flow into their midst out from a Church that knows Jesus together, for real, out from Christ Community. But we can only speculate. Later in this text, we will look more closely at these things out from what God teaches us.
Then, E on our timeline is the transition time when a new generation begins to enter a pure world. And F is the time when that second generation begins to move into adult maturity inside a world that knows only Life and is ordered by the Ways of God.
Synergeia and Symmorphy. Again, our purpose is not the speculation, but rather to have a conception of that flow of the learning of Christ (Learn of Me) that is the golden oil, the rivers of living water, the establishment of the Kingdom of God for real among all society of humans and angels inside of heaven-earth. This is the picture we need in order to proceed with knowing the two BIG things of God in the human experience, Synergeia and Symmorphy.
We are speaking of the flow of LIFE in Power through the speaking of Christ forming the very rooms, the patterns, the Kingdom, inside of which God dwells among His people and is known by all through them.
Reading for Next Time. I have now split into two chapters what I was trying to cram into one. The next chapter is titled “13. Pathways and Patterns.” The first lesson in it, coming up next, will be “13.1 Language and Society.” This lesson is a continuation of our outline, two more topics regarding the new Language as it begins to shape a new society inside of a new Spirit. Then, in the remaining two lessons of the next chapter, we will lay out our approaches to developing a pattern language for the Pathways of Power and then our approaches to developing a pattern language for the Patterns of the Kingdom.
I think a better foundation would be for you to peruse “Lesson 3.1 To the Pure” in Symmorphy V: Life.
Let’s Pray Together. “God, our Father, You are wondrous to us, and sharing life with You is the most meaningful thing we could ever know. We believe absolutely in You, that Your Word is True and that You are coming now through us into our world.
“Father, we share Your Heart; cause us to know Your deep and immediate desire, Your intention to prove Jesus faithful and True inside of His Church. Father, cause each of us to know Your Personal intentions through us towards those whom You have brought into our lives, that each might know God through us. Father, let Your Golden Oil flow, this wondrously pure living Spirit Word, the Lord Jesus Christ, now into Your Church.
“God, our Father, cause us to know the full present meaning of the Golden Oil now flowing through us and cause us to know Your Church into whom that Oil comes. Oh God, light Your Church on fire with the present knowledge of the revelation of Jesus Christ, that the world would see and know Your Love revealed. And enable us to stand, here inside of You, even while the great storm passes across us, until every single believer in Jesus whom You have given to us knows Jesus as He is.
“Father, we are for You. We are in Your hand and in Your Heart. Be fully free to do through us as You desire, whether it be outwardly great or small. Sharing Hheart with You is the only thing there is for us. We ask these things inside of Jesus. Let it be so; it is so.”
