Coats of Skin

I believe our coats of skin, is our natural animal bodies and our "change of garments" is putting on immortality....

"Who will transform and fashion anew our body of humiliation to conform to and be like the body of His glory and majesty, by exerting that power which enables Him even to subject everyhing to Himself."
Phil. 3:21

Our bodies do humilitate us....by sickness, aging, deformities and death.

But just as Christ is the savior of our soul, he is the savior of the body and every humiliation that we have experienced in soul or body cannot compare to the glory which will be displayed in the royally outfitted immortals.

But I want to add something....all the generations before us that have walked in the spirit, did not put on immortality in the flesh. Does that mean that they missed it in God?....or were somehow deficient in faith?
I believe absolutely not!!! Does that mean that immortality is not a truth? Again, I would say absolutely not!!!

Read the faith chapter of Hebrews 11 - some had marvelous deliverances, others were tortured, sawn in two, imprisioned, lived in caves and caverns....did this mean that they were not walking in faith?

Quite the contrary, God said that all of these, though they won divine approval by means of their faith, they did not receive the fulfillment of what was promised.

Why???

Because God had us in mind!!!!!....and had something better and greater in view for us, so that these heros and heroines of faith should not come to perfection or apart from us, or that is before we could join them.

All of God's saints that have come before us CONCEIVED IMMORTALITY.....that reality was imprinted in our spiritual genes....they were pregnant with the possibility
But
It is in us, the third day people, that God ordained that conception to be brought to birth!!!!!

Paul believed it was to come to fruition in his day, because he saw it...was shown it.....was even caught up into it....and believed that the fullness of that coming was to be realized in his day, but what he did not see or know was that Jesus' proclamation of being perfected and raised up in the third day, was not just about that singular man Jesus, but would involve two, one-thousand-year days to intervene that was for the calling out and preparation of His Body for the the resurrection birthing event.

Jesus' literal body was PREPARED for the Sabbath.

Luke 23:54

This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

Then he took it down and rolled it up in a linen cloth for swathing dead bodies, and laid Him in a rock-hewn tomb, where no one had ever yet been laid.

"It was the day of preparation [for the Sabbath], and the Sabbath was dawning or approaching."

These past two days Jesus said he would do cures and cast out devils.....he would heal the wounds of death in our souls and cast out our misperceptions
But
The third day he would be perfected.

This army of the Lord [with the sword of the spirit as its weapon of choice] is a twofold gathering. Enoch prophesied that he's coming with 10,000s of his saints, or his holy myriads, one translation says.....those who are present (living in this realm) and those who are absent (those who have passed on)become the prophet Joel's mighty army, a people numerous and mighty, the like of which has never been before and shall not be again even to the years of many generations." \o/
