Getting To Grips With The Fullness Of JESUS CHRIST
Part 12 The fullness of JESUS CHRIST – expressed in substance [Gk: hupostasis] and witness [Gk: marturia], by the HOLY SPIRIT [John 16:14] - is the prophetic conduit of all fulfillment, in the FATHER’s will:
Colossians 1:17-20 [NKJV] declares: < 17 And He [YESHUA] is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. >.
Ephesians 1:23, points to the fullness of JESUS CHRIST [defining His Body &] filling all-in-all.
Ephesians 4:13 [NKJV], points to the necessity that: < 13 … we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ >. The Old Testament points to four prophetic realities that the fullness of YESHUA MASHIAH unveils and expresses, to achieve the prophetic intents of the FATHER’s Heart [unveiled by the SPIRIT, in and through the fullness of the only begotten SON in the bosom of the FATHER (John 1:18; Hebrews 1:3 b; Jeremiah 1:11-12)]:
The Ark of the Testimony: YESHUA MASHIAH is the Ark of YHWH’s Testimony [Exodus 25:16; Colossians 2:9; Ephesians 3:19; Ephesians 3:16-19]. Hence the declaration [in Revelation 19:10 c] that the Testimony of YESHUA is the Spirit of Prophecy. We are partakers in the Testimony of YESHUA as Epistles of MASHIAH [2 Corinthians 3:3, NKJV; Exodus 25:16; Exodus 31:18; Exodus 32:16] and, as Ministers [Servants] of MASHIAH, stewards of the Mysteries of GOD [1 Corinthians 4:1; Revelation 10:7]. The life-giving Spirit of YESHUA MASHIAH [1 Corinthians 15:45 + Php 1:19 c] is the Spirit of Prophecy that gives fulfilled expression to the Testimony of YHWH [Hebrews 1:3 b, 3]. The Spirit and Life of YESHUA communicates the Testimony of JESUS as the basis and framework of the prophetic; unveiling us as functioning Morning Stars in the fullness of YESHUA the Bright Morning Star [2 Peter 1:19; Revelation 22:16]. [We carry the Ark of YHWH in the fullness of JESUS CHRIST actualized in our inward parts!]
The Ark of the Covenant: YESHUA MASHIAH is the Ark of YHWH’s Covenant [Deuteronomy 10:8; Luke 22:20; Hebrews 1:3 b, 3]. Hence the declaration [in Isaiah 49:8] that the MESSIAH is given as YHWH’s Covenant to restore the earth [John 3:16; John 1:16-18]. The Covenant is written into [circumcised] hearts of flesh [Jeremiah 31:33-34; Ezekiel 36:25-27; Deuteronomy 30:6; Deuteronomy 30:8; Romans 2:28-29] sealed in the Blood of the LAMB [Luke 22:20; Colossians 1:19-20]. This Covenant expresses the FATHER’s love inscribed in the SON so that we can be filled to all the fullness of GOD [John 3:16; Ephesians 3:19].
The Ark of the Name: YESHUA MASHIAH is the Ark of YHWH’s Name [2 Samuel 6:2; 2 Samuel 6:9; John 17:6; John 17:26]. Hence the declaration by YESHUA that He has and will manifest the Name of GOD [YHWH] to those whom YHWH had given Him [John 17:6 a, John 17:26]. He would accomplish this as: < I in them > through Testimony and Covenant fashioned into our inward parts; and, made operational by the SPIRIT in a Witness [in Spirit, Water and Blood – 1 John 5:8; 1 John 5:7-10, NKJV] faithful and true - the Beginning of the Creation of GOD [Revelation 3:14 b].
The Ark of YHWH’s Might: YESHUA MASHIAH is the Ark of YHWH’s Might [2 Chronicles 6:41, NASB]. YESHUA was raised from the dead in the strength of the FATHER’s Might [Gk: Kratos] [Ephesians 1:19-20, NASB] and is seated at the right hand of the FATHER. Solomon [in 2 Chronicles 6:41, NASB] proclaimed the prophetic reality in which YHWH arises to His Resting Place, together with the Ark of His Might – His SON [Psalms 110:1-7]! Ephesians 2:4-7 declares: < 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. > Where YESHUA is, is where we are positioned [Psalms 91:1; Hebrews 12:22-24] according to the fullness of MASHIAH YESHUA we have actualized in our inward parts [John 1:16-17]. The fullness of YESHUA points to awesome realities that the Body of MASHIAH is appointed to actualize in the merits of the LAMB. [All of the prophetic stands in the fullness of YESHUA (Hebrews 1:3 b; Colossians 1:17-20)]. The prophetic is not just a position, a promise, an anointing, a gifting or, on outpouring; it is [and must be] YESHUA unveiled in us to actualize appointed positions, promises, anointings and, gifting’s in the eternal and the abiding [John 15:4-11; John 15:16]. The prophetic is YESHUA expressed [in His fullness, in substance and witness] that is the outpouring [and outworking] of the SPIRIT that expresses the FATHER’s Heart; because Scripture declares that YESHUA’s fullness must fill all-in-all [Ephesians 1:23] and, He must fill all things [Ephesians 4:10]! Scripture declares [in Colossians 1:17, NKJV] that YESHUA is before all things and in Him all things ‘consist’ [NASB: ‘hold together’].
[Clearly, YESHUA is the Gift [we are called to actualize and express] that fulfills the Law; defines biblical principle (through substance and witness); defines by Testament every function in the HOLY SPIRIT and, He is the exclusive basis of the prophetic (John 14:6).]
