25. The Gate and The Camp of Israel
The Gate of the outer court is the first entrance into the knowledge of God and then, turned around, it is the final expression of God through us.As such, the Gate represents the resurrection, our physical bodies swallowed up by immortal and incorruptible life.
Yet this final aspect of the gate also represents our final agreement with God. God will never force anyone into being the expression of His incorruptible Person. It is the final agreement He enters into with us and we with Him.
The camp of Israel, then, in our model, represents for us all creation.
Lesson 25.1 Having Turned Around first places for us how our view of all things in Christianity and in the cosmos is entirely different from what we once new. We see that every verse in the Bible, now arrayed upon God's chosen structure, speaks of things we have never known.
Lesson 25.2 The Resurrection sets the resurrection of our bodies into its place in the Covenant and in our relationship with all creation.
Lesson 25.3 All Creation then positions the affect of our full and final Covenant with God upon all of creation, both the spiritual and the physical. Rivers of Spirit flow out from us as the very appearance of God into all creation giving life to all.
