In the Same Manner

"When He comes to be glorified IN HIS SAINTS.......with this in view, we constantly pray for you." ! 2 Thess.1:10

"This same Jesus"....the one made a Life-Giving Spirit....the glorified one, not the man Jesus before his resurrection.
"In the same manner that He went away."

The manner in which Jesus went away, was from the visible into the invisible....from matter to spirit....he dematerialized and he will re-materialize IN HIS SAINTS. He already did that on the day of Pentecost as someone just mentioned and that "coming" of the Lord is intensifying and will culminate in what some are seeing as this Quantum Leap for a collective whole.

"This event, anticipated by Christians as the second Coming of Christ, is in fact the first fully conscious incarnation of the Eternal One in the collective consciousness of a world's biosphere. Jesus came to help prepare human understanding for this event, to herald it as the morning star heralds the dawn."

He was the Seed and we are the Harvest.

Unless the seed dies or gives up its seed-ness, it abides alone, but if it relenquishes itself to death, it resurrests as a new plant.

Jesus Christ, a man anointed of God.....died to that identity to become
Christ Jesus, a Life-Giving Spirit. And we have been baptized in this same Spirit.

There is a pattern laid out in the Zadok priesthood in Eze 44. It is symbolic of the Melchi-zadok or Melchizedek priesthood of Christ Jesus. They are "dressed" in their linen (robes of righteousness, your spiritual body) to go in unto the Lord/invisible realms of spirit, but when they come out unto the people, they take off those spiritual robes (and put on their woolen garments or material bodies to appear among the rest of the 'sheep')

This is a pattern of those who can come and go between realms as Jesus did. Jesus fully intended to "dress" himself as us in this realm....we are his body....he presents himself to the world as us.

The Invitation

Mary, He spoke as only her Lord could
"Master", she replied as now her heart full understood.
"Do not now touch Me, for I must first ascend."
Showing us that if ever you would touch Him
It must be by spirit and never that flesh again.

If ever you would see Jesus
You'll have to look beyond the form
For He may appear
As any man, woman or child ever born.

He continues to say,
"I must ascend to my Father and your Father,
To my God and your God."
Showing us ever more clearly this 'way'.

So, back into spirit
He disappeared from earthly view
And is now seated beside His Father
That dwells in the heart of me and you.

He assured His first disciples
That upon His earthly departure day
He would surely come again
Driving their sorrows all away.

When on that day of Pentecost
He came again this time as flames of fire
Igniting in them all
A passion for God much higher.

This sacred fire has continued to burn
Consuming all our tin and dross
Leaving behind only the purest gold
Through the work of His holy cross.

For He said, "Where I Am there you may be too."
So, from His glorified heights within my spirit new
He extends an invitation
So my soul can come there too.

And through their perfect union
My earthly house is not left out
But it, too, will display a God renewal
During Tabernacles' trumpet shout.

With Love,
Karen
