DISEMBODIED

All of the Old Testament deceased people went to Hades upon their deaths. The O.T. non-believers waited DISEMBODIED in the torment side of Hades until the final judgement in 70ad. The O.T. believers were taken to the outer courts of heaven when Christ led captivity at His ascension in 30ad. -Psalm 68:18; Eph 4:8-9. They remained there DISEMBODIED until Christ’s Parousia in 66-70ad.

Therefore it says, “WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE, AND HE BESTOWED GIFTS ON MEN.” (Now this expression, “He ascended,” what does it mean except that He also had previously descended [from the heights of heaven] into the lower parts of the earth? -Eph 4:8-9

The Transition Period deceased saints went to the outer courts of heaven upon their deaths. They were also DISEMBODIED. They waited there until Christ’s Parousia in 66-70ad. The transition period deceased non-believers went to Hades and waited there DISEMBODIED until the final judgement in 70ad.

NOW this DISEMBODIED does NOT mean that they did not have any kind of bodily “form”, but these were not physical bodies of flesh and blood, which had died and returned to dust. Samual also, when he appeared from the dead to the necromancer or medium at Endor with Saul present, had a recognizable bodily “form” of kind of temporary body they many have in the unseen realm.

But now after 70ad, no saint is “DISEMBODIED”. Saints who die “Put On” their new immortal, incorruptible, glorified, spiritual, visible, heavenly bodies at death. Those new individual, immortal bodies are reserved in heaven for us born-again believers.

For we know that if the earthly tent [our physical body] which is our house is torn down [through death], we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. – 2 Cor 5:1

We get our new bodies to cover our “nakedness”, so we are NEVER unclothed.

For while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened [often weighed down, oppressed], not that we want to be unclothed [separated by death from the body], but to be clothed, so that what is mortal [the body] will be swallowed up by life [after the resurrection]. -2 Cor 5:2-4

*My thoughts: I never understood how other “Christians” didn’t understand the NEW HEAVENS were opened to Us at Jesus’ baptism. However, I do realize there was the ministry of completion of the gospel, (Jesus’s journey to bring us COMPLETE SALVATION).

I never understood how other “Christians” didn’t realize after the finished works of the cross that the heavens were now our eternal home. No waiting time after the FINISHED WORKS. We are not just dirt in the ground, for goodness’ sake, don’t we believe in our savoir and the Greatness of our heavenly Father? FOLKS, keep scripture in context and understand audience relevance! We are the audience (REPEAT AFTER ME, “AFTER THE CROSS, WE ARE AFTER REDEMPTION IS COMPLETE. WE HAVE INHERITED ALL THAT IS IN THE WILL & TESTEMENT! PROBATE IS OVER!!” IN the words of our Savior, “IT IS FINSHED!”

When Jesus Died (crucial to believe that JESUS died) in order to inherit all that was written in the N.T. (the new will and testament). NO one inherits anything if the testor of the Will hasn’t – (of course, Jesus’ death was about the death of the flesh to inherit the life of the SPIRIT- which is EVERLASTION LIFE!)

For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. -Heb 9:16

I couldn’t figure out for the life of me, how any “Christian” can think God/Jesus would keep us in Hades, (the holding place during transition from O.T. to N.T) The conversion of O.T. to N.T isn’t just some paper pages in a book, it was a written will and an blood oath covenant; it’s also crucial to understand that Jesus’ shed His perfect blood to clothe us in HIS PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS! It was going from an old worn out, tainted, adulterated covenant to one that had our perfect God come down Here Himself in the form of a “son born unto us” that we would one day call ABBA; Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

For to us a Child shall be born, to us a Son shall be given; And the government shall be upon His shoulder, And His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.-Isa 9:6

-And this government (Us- His born-again believers evangelizing the world (ahem the great commission– Matt 23:18-29; Mark 16:15-18; Luke 24:44-49; John 20:19-23; Acts 1:8) Is a NEVER-ENDING COVENANT, Generation after generation!

There shall be no end to the increase of His government and of peace, [He shall rule] on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness FROM THIS TIME FOWARD AND FOREVER MORE. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this. – Isa 9:7

Are we doing our part of evangelizing the world or are me filling ourselves with fear and doubt and keeping our hope on a future burn and destroy mission that God never spoke of in the scriptures!

I pray today, that we see that our God is Perfect and it’s our born-again duty to keep His Kingdom growing not cowering in fear to what we see with our eyes, but that we do the WILL OF the FATHER and that is to bring more and more saints into the family! We must build up the BODY OF CHRIST here on this earth, the one our creator created and is NEVER going to burn up! (Please seek thy heart for that is where all evil resides)- May we continue to clean it with only the purity of Christ and His Finished works at the cross! Generations come, and generations go, but the earth lasts forever. – Ecc 1:4

DEPRAVITY OF MAN

All humans are spiritually dead in their trespasses and sins. This death is inherited through their fathers, not their mothers. This does not mean that mothers are not also dead in their sins, but as far as the human race is concerned, this sinful “nature” is passed on through the father to the sons and daughters. All humans are not only condemned due to Adam’s sin, but all humans are also sinners by their own thoughts, deeds and actions.

Is there anyone who has not had a human father? Only Jesus Christ, the Son of God, born to the Virgin Mary, has NOT inherited the sinful nature of Adam. Christ is the only one who is righteous from eternity past to eternity future. Because of His righteousness, He is the only one who could pay for the sins of His elect people. He accomplished this by His atonement work at His first coming in 30ad; and also, at His consummation of salvation at His second coming Parousia in 66-70ad.

All Israel are sinners:

“Yes, all Israel has TRANSGRESSED YOUR LAW, and has departed so as not to obey Your voice; therefore, the curse and the oath written in the Law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out on us, BEAUSE WE HAVE SINNED against Him.”- Dan 9:11

All People throughout human history are sinners:

“As it is written: “THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NO NOT ONE; there is NONE who understands; there is NONE who seeks after God. They have ALL turned aside; they have together become unprofitable; there is NONE who does good, NO, NOT ONE.” -Rom 3:10-12

All humans sin and are born sinners due to Adam’s sin:

“For if by the one man’s sin (Adam) sin entered the world, and DEATH THROUGH SIN, and thus death spread to all men, BEACUSE ALL SINNED,” -Rom 5:12

All of God’s elect are made righteous in Christ:

“For if by the one man’s sin (Adam’s) offense DEATH reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness will reign in LIFE through One, Jesus Christ. Therefore, as through one man’s (Adam’s) offense JUDGEMENT CAME TO ALL MEN (In Adam by birth), RESULTING IN CONDEMNATION, even so through one man’s (Christ’s) righteousness act the free gift came to all men (all those in Christ by faith), RESULTING IN JUSTIFICATION OF LIFE. For as by one man’s (Adam’s) man’s DISOBEDIENCE many (fall but Christ) were made sinners, so also by one Man’s (Christ’s) OBEDIENCE many (the elect) will be made RIGHTEOUS.” – Rom 5:17-19.

Death, judgement, and condemnation came to all men through Adam’s sin and their own sin. However, grace, life, justification, and righteousness came to those who received grace from God and eternal life through Jesus Christ.

Isn’t it great to Know that we are no longer under the original sin of Adam because of what Christ did for us to RECIEVE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS!

I do not believe we are under the curses of Adam since the crucifixion. I truly believe Christ won us all back (I also DO NOT BELIEVE IN SATAN) For Christ WON IT ALL BACK AT CALVARY! We are not held accountable to our past generational sins or curses of our ancestors. We are NOT held accountable for the sins of Adam either. We are not tempted or overtaken by some “satan” to sin either. We are Now only tempted by our own desires.

But each one is tempted when he is dragged away, enticed and baited [to commit sin] by his own [worldly] desire (lust, passion).- James 1:14

For those of us In Jesus Christ through faith in HIS grace are made righteous! We are properly clothed in HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS! There is no other way to be RIGHTEOUS BUT TO BE CLOTHED IN CHRIST!

All my clothed in HIS RIGTHEOUSNESS, ❤ Diana xo 🙂

Clothed in His Righteousness

In the tapestry of grace, we find our place, A garment spun from threads divine. Not woven by mortal hands, but by love’s embrace, A robe of righteousness, forever thine.

The fabric whispers stories of redemption, Each stitch a promise, each fold a plea. It drapes across our brokenness, a sweet exemption, A covering that sets our weary souls free.

The warp and weft of mercy intertwine, Golden strands of forgiveness, soft and true. The hem bears scars, a testament to love’s design, Where grace and justice meet, forever new.

So wear it well, this robe of heaven’s making, For it was fashioned in the courts above. Clothed in His righteousness, our hearts awaking, We walk in light, wrapped in eternal love. 🌟
