I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light...

Peace in Christ.

Again….and again: by the keeping of His “daily” sacrifice in our mortal bodies, His life is the be made manifest/to shine in in our mortal flesh.

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 always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

When we shine forth His life in our mortal bodies (the manifestation of the Son of man,) then it will bring His life to the people of the outside world who will see and believe. He gives His flesh for the life of the world. We manifest His life in our moral bodies.

Joh 6:51 KJV
(51) I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

It is the “showbread”….literally, the bread of faces (plural) …that is to be elevated in this world (upon the “table”.) We shine forth His face to others…reflecting His glory in our open faces to the people of the outside world.

Exo 25:30 KJV
(30) And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me alway.

“Give upon the table the bread of the face (FACES) before me continually.”


When we are given His presence ….we shine to the outside people of this world so that they may see the glory of God in this dark world. When He shall appear (His life appears in our mortal flesh,) we shall appear with Him in glory.

Col 3:1-4 KJV
(1) If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
(2) Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
(3) For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
(4) When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.


But if the gospel is hid, it is hid to those who are “lost”…that is, perishing. They are mortally perishing away to the grave without His life being made manifest in their mortal flesh.

2Co 4:3-6 KJV
(3) But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

The god of this age has blinded their minds. Their “god” is their belly that they are serving for.

They are minding earthly things while they “preach.” They are only preaching to get their earthly needs met rather than serving for the Lord Jesus Christ. The Son of man is in the “heart of the earth” and is not being revealed in the earth because of all of the earthly-minded preachers who are the enemies of the cross of Christ. They have no understanding of the gospel.

The light of the gospel of the glory of Christ does not shine unto them. It is “dark” to them as they have no understanding of it. They are not manifesting His glory to the people of the outside world who are sitting in deep darkness (because the man-based churches are void of His glory light.)

(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.

They are preaching themselves…for their own earthly needs to be met. They handle the Word of God deceitfully for their own gain.

(5) For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
(6) For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

No man-based church is manifesting His life in the flesh of their congregations nor are they shining the glory light of God to anyone.

The “heavens”…His people…have NO LIGHT. They have no understanding of the gospel of the glory of Christ who is the express image of His person and the brightness of His glory. We, in Christ, are also to be those things as well in Him in this mortal body.

Jer 4:22-23 KJV
(22) For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

And so the earth….the people of the outside world are without form…without that express image ….and void…void of the knowledge of the glory of God. The heavens...His people...have no light as they do not shine His glory to the people of the outside world (the "earth.")

(23) I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.

Darkness covers the earth and gross darkness the people….

Isa 60:2 KJV
(2) For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

His “visage”…that is, His view…is being “marred” so that He cannot be seen by the people of the outside world. The earth became without form….the form of Christ.

Isa 52:14 KJV
(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:

We must come out from among the man-based churches and be separate so that we may shine in this darkened world…so that they may see His form and be given the knowledge of the glory of God as they were once “void” of it.

Mat 13:43 KJV
(43) Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

In Your Jer 4 text above the earth is desolate and all its cities are destroyed before the fierce anger of the Lord, cities are destroyed and there are no humans on the planet.

In Jer 25:33 (actually vs 30-33) - the corpses of those slain by the lord are from one end of Earth to the other - and no humans alive on Earth to bury them.

That can only happen as a result of the 2 Thess 1:5-8 event combined with 2 Thess 2:1-4 -- which can be seen in Rev 19 last 5 verses.

A desolate Earth - Millennium right after the rapture and before the lake of fire event in Rev 20.
