God is Thought. The brightness of our revelations depends upon the correctness of our doctrines, our building blocks, our Godly Thoughts laid one upon another, ascending into the mind of Christ.

 

(Isa 45:7) I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD [Heb: Jehovah] do all these things.

(Isa 54:16) Behold, I have created the smith [Jesus the Christ] [1] that bloweth [with his breath, i.e., with His words] the coals [the remnant of burning wood (burning trees; symbolically, people)] in the fire [of purification] [2], and that bringeth forth an instrument [Heb: something prepared (made ready)] [i.e., us] [3] for his work; and [i.e., also] I have created the waster [Satan] [4] to destroy [5].

1.    smith = Heb: a fabricator of material: carpenter, craftsman, engraver, maker, +mason, worker.

2.    (Zech 13:7-9) Awake [Heb: (through the idea of opening the eyes): arise, wake up], O sword [the double-edged sword of the Lord, the “tongue” of the Lord, the Bible (John 1:14)], against my shepherd [pastor], and against the man that is my fellow [Heb: associate, companion, comrade: neighbour], saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon [Heb: against] the little ones [the sheep]. And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts [two thirds] therein shall be cut off and die; but the third [part] shall be left therein [a-e]. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine [Heb: melt, purify, purge away] them as silver [a symbol of Jesus Christ, and of salvation] is refined, and will try [Heb: test, fig. to investigate: examine] them as gold [a symbol of God, and God’s thoughts] is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.

a.     Commentary: “shall be left therein” = The “raptureis the progressive process of internally experiencing the fullness of the Holy Spirit, but we are not going anyplace:

b.    (Prov 2:21, 22) For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

c.     (Prov 10:30) The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.

d.    (Psa 37:29) The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

e.     (Heb 12:27) And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made [things made by man], that those things which cannot be shaken [things made (created) by God] may remain.

3.    (Eph 6:15) And [having] your feet shod [Gk: to put on shoes or sandals: bind on] with the preparation of [Gk: to prepare /// (being) made ready] the gospel of peace;

a.     Commentary = the two shoes that we are shod with and commanded to walk in are the Old Testament and the New Testament.

1.    (Jer 23:29) Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

 

(1 Cor 3:7-9) So then neither is he that planteth [Gk: fig. to instil doctrine] [seed] [1] any thing, neither he that watereth [Gk: irrigates: feeds] [nourishes the seed]; but God that giveth the increase [Gk: growth]. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry [Gk: cultivable, a farm /// a land-worker, farmer] 2], ye are God's building [Gk: compound, structure].

1.    (Luke 8:11) Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

2.    cultivate = Dict: 1. to prepare and use (soil, land, etc) for growing crops. 2. to break up the surface and soil around (plants) in order to destroy weeds, prevent crusting, and preserve moisture.

 

(1 Cor 3:10-15) According to the grace [Gk: the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life] of God which is given unto me [the Apostle Paul], as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed [Gk: beware] how he buildeth thereupon. For [any] other foundation can no man lay than that [which] is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work [Gk: toil: deeds, doing, labour] shall be made manifest [Gk: apparent: known]: for the day [of the Lord’s return] shall declare it [Gk: make plain], because it shall be revealed [Gk: to take off the cover: disclosed] by fire; and the fire shall try [Gk: test: examine] every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide [Gk: remain] which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned [Gk: burned down: consumed wholly], he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved [Gk: “safe”; delivered, protected: healed, preserved, save (self), do well, be made whole]; yet so as by fire.
