OVERLAP.
After the transition time there is an overlap of God`s purposes - for Israel and the Body of Christ. Let`s look at Israel first.
God gave Israel different Feasts to commemorate something in their past but also to be a prophetic calendar to be fulfilled from Calvary to the...
The Revelation from the Two Men.
`Now when He (Jesus) had spoken these things, while they (disciples) watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly towards heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who...
TRANSITION.
From Jesus` earthly ministry to Israel to His later ministry to His Body there is a transition time. The apostles were still focused on Jesus coming again to rule through Israel and coming out from Roman rule.
The book of Acts shows us this transition time, then, later how the...
OVERVIEW
Jesus said, “I will build my ekklesia, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.` (Matt. 16: 18)
Jesus told the disciples that He would build His ekklesia, however Jesus did not give any details of what that would be. The disciples already knew that Israel was an...
CONCLUSION
I believe we have just begun to know some of our Lord`s glorious character. There is so much more to look at and meditate upon.
May we be encouraged to read God`s word in a different light, not just for events and special verses, but to really look at Christ, how He thought, spoke...
RIGHTEOUS
Righteousness is that which is straight and accurate, wholly devoid of duplicity, double dealing, deviation or deceit.
`Gracious is the Lord, and righteous.` (Ps. 116: 5)
Christ is King of Righteousness.
` King of righteousness.` (Heb. 7: 2)
No one is qualified to be King of...
FAITHFUL
`Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God...` (Deut. 7: 9)
Faithful, is to be loyal and trustworthy. And God has shown Himself in many ways to be faithful `who keeps covenant and mercy to a thousand generations.`
The Lord Jesus reveals His faithfulness as -...
GOODNESS
`Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!` (Ps. 136: 1)
God`s goodness is the sincerity of His pure character that acts sacrificially in seeking and saving the lost. All His mercies and blessings, (physical and spiritual) emphasize the generosity of His great goodness.
The Good...
MERCY
`Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.` (Heb. 2: 17)
Mercy is what man needs most of all in his relationship with the Most High...
Agape - LOVE
Our word, `love` can mean many things, `I love chocolate, I love my cat, I love my children, etc.` However in Greek the word `love` has specific words for a variety of meanings.
- Phileo, love of a friend,
- Eros, romantic love.

HOLINESS
`Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts.` (Isa. 6: 3)
Holiness - Heb. `qadosh,` meaning sacred, morally pure,
The thrice proclaimed `Holy, Holy, Holy, `by the angels over the throne of God reveal that Holiness is the over arching attribute of God`s character.
Worship in response...
The Divine Nature. (character)
Jesus is called the `Bread of God.`
`For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives His life to the world.` (John 6: 33)
`I am the bread of life.` (John 6: 48)
Now bread is bought to nourish those who are alive, but Christ the Bread of God...
The Glory of God.
`And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth.` (John 1: 14)
Glory is the exclusive excellence of the divine character in its essence. Glory consists of all the...
The Godhead.
`God...who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see,...` (1 Tim. 6: 16)
The Godhead would be beyond our understanding except the Father sent His Son to be the true and faithful witness of Him. Christ alone reveals the Father for He...
INTRODUCTION
How do you express the inexpressible?
It is only by God`s revelation of His Son in His word that we can ever comprehend in part the Father. The Son clearly reveals the heart of His Father by His own character. And we are privileged to not only read of Him but to know Him in our...
CONCLUSION
What has been highlighted to me doing this study is the initial part the Father has in bringing about His great purpose through His Son and through the empowering of the Holy Spirit. The Godhead working together for the Father`s great purpose.
God the Father `...having made known...

King of Israel.
`Nathaniel answered and said to Him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel.” (John 1: 49)
