The church under Moses failed to establish the kingdom of God in the earth for they only had realized a Passover anointing.
Then the church received a greater anointing to help usher in the kingdom of God at Pentecost 2000 years ago, but because this anointing or feast was accompanied with leaven, this leavening spread through the body, leavening nearly the whole lump, except God had kept a remnant unto himself. This falling away caused the church under the Pentecostal anointing to fail in establishing the kingdom of God in all the earth.
There is another anointing(realization of) to arise within the corporate body of Christ that the feast of Tabernalces has to teach us, I believe, that will enable this firstfruits company of people to bring forth the kingdom of God into this earth in a way that we have never seen before to make us "the restorers of the breach, the ancient ruins that have lain waste for generations, the restorer of paths to walk in."Hallelujah!
I think that most of God's overcomer people are operating Now to the best of their ability with what knowledge and power that they intimately know. I, for one, know for sure that I can't do anything without the anointing of God arising in this temple, be it in a 30, 60, or 100 fold operation.
We as this Overcomer Corporation, all together as One Man, I believe, are to be presented unto the Lord as the following pattern I will try to share was outlined in the OT for us. Everything in the laws of the OT were prophetic descriptions, pictures of the plan of God being worked out in us individually and then corporately and ultimately in all the earth.
Dan. 7
"Until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High, and the time came when the saints possessed the kingdom.
And the kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heavens shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominion shall serve and obey Him."
Now, one of these OT laws involved a cleasing ritual that was required when you touched a dead body. We need to remember that although all these pictures were drawn with a people that lived in the small land of Israel, they were adumbrations of truth(something that faintly foreshadows or prefigures a greater truth) and the greater truth was that God was using them to speak of his greater plan for the whole world.
The feast of Tabernacles was an 8 day feast...in order to fulfill the law of Ex. 22:29
You shall not delay the offering from your harvest and your vintage. The first-born of your sons you shall give to Me. You shall do the same with your oxen and with your sheep. It shall be with its mother seven days; on the eighth day you shall give it to Me.
According to the law, anyone that touches the dead body of a person would be unclean for seven days. Humanity is unclean for seven days until they are fully awakened in God. Num. 19:11 says,
The one who touches the dead body of any person shall be unclean for seven days.
God told Adam, "In the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." Man became mortal....dead men walking. All of us has touched a dead body....our own. Paul told us in Romans 8 that even if Christ lives in you, your natural body is dead because of sin and guilt,(imputed to us because of Adam) even if your spirit is alive because of the righteousness of Christ. But, hallelujah,if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in us then He will also restore to life our mortal perishable bodies. And this restoration from the grave of mortality will reveal or broadcast us as God's sons and our freedom from death will be an outward expression or sign to the rest of creation, representing the unvoiced longings that all men have in them for joy and peace and eternal Life to become a reality in their lives and ultiimately in this world. They have not known how to find this place within themselves...but just as Jesus was a pattern of freedom to us, we will serve as a pattern of freedom for them. Now, I know we are doing that now according to the level of our anointing and development in him, but there is a 100 fold dimension of this coming of the Lord within us that will enable us to fulfill this high and holy calling to the max.
This 7 days of uncleanness is true for the greater of humanity for this statement brings you to the end of the 7000 years or 7 days of man. (we have just completed 6000 years since Adam or 6 days) And also remember that Nebuchadnezzar had 7 years pass over him before his right mind was restored. He was a picture of the greater of humanity; that all would not be coming to salvation before the end of the 7 days. The age that follows this 7 is the 8th Day or eon which has been called the age of the ages or the eon of the eons. Just like there is a Holy of the Holies...it is more holy than just the Holy Place, so in this age of ages, all men will come to the realization of who they are in God, for God will be all in all...everything in everyone experientially.
But there is a firsfruits harvest of people unto God, to whom this cleansing and anointing happens earlier in order to make them kings and priests unto God in order that they might rule and reign in Love as restorers during this age that is now before us.
Will try to share a little more on this subject of touching a dead body later......I find that I really need to write to deliver my own soul, talking to myself, trying to give voice to that which stirs within me however well or poorly articulated it is. Most of us that have been in the wilderness have had to do that...encourage ourself in the Lord. King David said he encouraged himself in the Lord too.

I will just share these few scriptures with you from the Amplified version about body salvation. All that any of us can do is to share what is real in us, and hopefully with grace.
Phil 3:11, 20 & 21
That if possible I may attain to the [spiritual and moral] resurrection [that lifts me] out from among the dead [even while in the body].
But we are citizens of the state(commonwealth, homeland) which is in heaven, and from it also we earnestly and patiently await [the coming of] the Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah, as Savior,
Who will transform and fashion anew the body of our humiliation to conform to and be like the body of His glory and majesty, by exerting that power which enables Him even to subject everything to Himself.
God bless,
Karen

I totally agree with you(my response to someone who commented) about our on-going union of soul and spirit....but I'm still trying to share about physical immortality....probably just didn't make myself clear enough....the salvation of the body...that salvation that is demonstrated, I believe, at The Corporate birthing of the Body of Christ....or as Paul called it, the manifestation of the sons of God.
But this salvation, this eonian Life of the ages, encompasses so much more than just physical immortality....this is a salvation that brings us into a glory that I don't think that any of us have begun to know in its fullness. There was the singular coming of the Lord manifested through Jesus, and I believe that this Corporate Coming of the Lord fulfills his second appearance. We are that coming of the Lord that all the church is looking for..."Surprise, surprise", says Gomer Pyle. :)
Everything up until this birthing, I believe has been our training for the throne. In like manner, Joseph was pulled directly out of prison and placed upon the throne...who would've thunk it. We are that nation that is born in a day, too!
This is the first time I have written on some of these things, so I'm still trying to find my 'see' legs of presentation. But I will have to give credit where credit is due. Stephen Jones is gifted in bringing so many of these OT things up into the light of Christ. I have been blessed by many of his insights.
"It is certainly true that Christ came and now indwells us, for this is the mystery that Paul mentioned in Col. 1:27, “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”[my comment: this is the appropriation of God in us individually] However, this is not the whole picture, for God will also inhabit His corporate temple.[my comment:this is the firstborn corporate son, I believe] He cannot do this until every living stone has been quarried in the earth and shaped to fit in its place."
Do you recall how that all the stones of Solomon's temple were quarried off site...this has been our individual wilderness experiences that have shaped us, where the Christ was being formed in us. It says that the stones of Solomon's temple when brought together were assembled without the sound of a hammer.
1 Kings 6:7
When the house was being built, its stone was made ready at the quarry, and no hammer, ax, or tool or iron was heard in the house while it was in building."
Hallelujah! all the hammering and chiseling, and making of these perfectly fitting stones had already been done before they were brought together....they were temple-ready to fit together.
And as we have said elsewhere, at this temple's dedication, the glory so filled this temple made of many stones, that no man could stand to minister.
Ahh, but a greater temple than Solomon's is in the making and at its dedication ceremonies the glory of God will be seen radiating from a people who appear like unto the Son of God. \o/
