Peace in Christ.
Again, if we always bear about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus (keeping His “daily” sacrifice), the life of Jesus shall be made manifest (shine) in our mortal bodies/flesh.
This manifestation of His life in our mortal flesh is the revealing of the Son of man to the outside people of the world who will then “see” Him in us.
When He appears/manifests, then we shall appear with Him in glory to those who are in outside deep darkness who shall see His light shine through us. Those on the outside world who will then “see” Him and believe shall be saved. We His people HEAR and believe His testimony of these things....while the outside world will only believe when they SEE His life being made manifest in us. Blessed are those who believe without seeing Him as they believe by HEARING. Think of doubting Thomas here who only believed by SEEING Him.
2Co 4:10-11 KJV
(10) Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
(11) For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
But right now, His manifest life in the mortal flesh of anyone is being hid. His manifest life is in the “heart/belly of the earth.”
Mat 12:40 KJV
(40) For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
The enemies of the cross of Christ are denying His life from being made manifest to this world because they do not understand the gospel of the glory of Christ who is the image of God. They are removing the "daily" sacrifice (the power of the cross) from those they are deceiving and are not preaching the gospel of truth and so no mortal flesh is being saved.
They have no understanding because they are only “serving” Him (supposedly) to fill their belly. They "follow" Him because they are getting fed. They are not allowed to be entrusted with the gospel of truth because of their earthly-mindedness.
The Son of man is in the heart of the earth because they are earthly -minded preachers. They are only minding earthly things: how to get their earthly needs met by “preaching” the Word of God.
Their end is destruction of the moral body as they prevent the life of Jesus from being made manifest in the mortal bodies of those they are deceiving. The Son of man is in the heart/belly of the earth...the earthly-mindedness.
Php 3:18-19 KJV
(18) (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
(19) Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
Their end is mortal death (aka “perishing”) because of their lack of understanding of the gospel of the glory of Christ as they are serving their “god”…which is their “belly”…and so the life of the Son of man is not being made manifest in the mortal flesh of those they are preaching to….leading many down the broad way to their mortal destruction.
2Co 4:3-5
(3) But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost (perishing):
(4) In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
(5) For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
They are false prophets....deceivers...who do not confess/acknowledge in their "preaching" that Jesus Christ IS COMING now in the flesh....in our mortal flesh.. They are denying Him. The Son of man....the life of Jesus...is being prevented from appearing in the mortal flesh of anyone that they are deceiving.
2Jn 1:7 KJV
(7) For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
There is no understanding to the false prophets who cry “peace” (where there is none) to those who put food in their mouths. That is what they are "preaching" for....for their earthly necessities.
It is “night” unto them as they do not understand the Scriptures because of it. They shall not have a “vision”…a revelation of the Scripture of Truth. The Scriptures and the gospel is "dark" unto them...meaning they are not given understanding of them.
Mic 3:5-8 KJV
(5) Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.
(6) Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
(7) Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.
(8) But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
They only “serve” for reward…for hire…preaching for money...and so everything is in heaps.
Mic 3:11-12 KJV
(11) The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.
(12) Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
But IF the Son of man be lifted OUT of the “earth”, then He will draw all people unto Him. The people will on the outside world shall then see His manifest life in our mortal flesh.
Greek: ek = “out”
Joh 12:32-33
(32) And I, if I be lifted up from (OUT) of the earth, will draw all men unto me.
By the keeping of His daily sacrifice….bearing about the dying of the Lord Jesus in our mortal bodies, then the life of Jesus shall be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
This is the “death” we are to die so that we may live and that the outside world may “see” Him and live just as the people looked to the bronze serpent on the pole that Moses put up and also live.
(33) This he said, signifying what death he should die.
The Son of man is to be lifted out of the “earth”…the earthly mindedness… so that we may manifest His life.
We who receive His mercy must renounce the hidden things of dishonesty…no longer handling the Word of God deceitfully….
2Co 4:1-3 KJV
(1) Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
(2) But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
(3) But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
His “visage”…His view…was so marred by the false prophets so that His manifest life could not be seen by the outside people of this world who are sitting in deep darkness. His form is being marred so that they cannot “see” Him.
Isa 52:13-15 KJV
(13) Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
(14) As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
But when He appears in His people (His people being sprinkled among the nations), then the kings of this world shall shut their mouths at Him for that which they hand not been TOLD to them they shall then SEE.
(15) So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
The Son of man must be lifted up…for God so loves the world….the outside world that is in darkness…that He gives His only begotten Son so that they world may “see” and believe in Him and be saved. When Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, they LOOKED at it.
Joh 3:14-17 KJV
(14) And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
(15) That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
(16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
(17) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
