Christ The Antidote Regarding Death.

CHRIST THE ANTIDOTE CONCERNING DEATH

Part 55,

Consumed By His Glory!

''He hath swallowed up death for ever;and the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from off all faces;

and the reproach of his people will he take away from off all the earth: forJehovah hath spoken it.'' Isa

25: 8. ASV.

It is very interesting to see that not only does the Amerian Standard !rite that ''He has swallowed

updeath forever.'' "#t also #nited in this o$inion is the RV, the ISV, %o#ng&s ' Conordant. It !o#ld

seem that the original te(t is stating it in the $ast tense 'HE HAS'!hih in )od*s o$inion ma+es it a done

deal as !ell as an e($lanation or o#r $resent #nderstanding. The meaning#l !ord here is forever. -e

annot in o#r ive sense realm yet see or #nderstand the onnotation o this verse "#t dee$ !ithin o#r )od

realm or Christ identity there is a !itness, an eternal !itness %es as it has "een !ritten that !e o#nt thosethings that are not seen asthough they were.

''For indeed, being in the tabernacle, we groan, having been weighted down, inasmuch as we do not

wish to be unclothed, but to be clothed, so that the mortalmay be swallowed up by the life'' 2Co 5:/.

0ITV. -onder#llythis is the $roess that !e are e($eriening no!, !hether !e realise it or not1

he rial f he "efining #rocess!

''utHe knows the way that $ take!"e has concern for it, appreciates, and pays attention to it#. $henHe

has tried me% $ shall come forth as refined gold !pure and luminous#.'' o" 23:4. Am$.

''utHe is unchangeable, and who can turn "im% &nd whatHe wants to do% that He does. For "e

performs &that which He has planned for me, and of many such matters "e is mindful'' ''For od has

made my heart faint% timid% and broken, and the &lmighty has terrified me,'' o" 23:43&4/,46. Am$.

Part o the glorio#s message in o" is that )od loved him greatly, as !ith all o #s, "#t as !ith all men,

he !as as !e are, $laed in this sit#ation o the im$eretion o the lesh ' there is a trial o o"ediene (

obedience is better than sacrifice (Hispurging ( our choosing)''Mark what we are sa!"# th!s !s "ot

7imsel, !hih !e already have !ithin #s ' is no! "eing realised, ' whe" He has tr!ed%e I shall $o%e

forth as Gold. It may seem a ontrary message "#t +no! this that in the end res#lt ''He has swallowedup death forever)'' And the inal res#lt is !e shall all "e ''Consumed By His Glory)''

*here $s his *onderful #rocess Happening+

the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves od and him who does not serve "im. al 3:49&

ans!er is o#nd in something that a great a$ostle has let #s. -e onsider !ith a!e this almost hiddengem along !ith Peters )odly given insight.
