The two likenesses…..

[Alive]

I am convinced that this subject and the teaching of it, is most important. It is where Paul was used of God to speak, as Peter mentioned, some things difficult to understand. The Lord used Paul to 'open up' the realities of the Cross, Resurrection and Ascension and what it all means for a son of God.

What that 'True' Sabbath is. The True Rest which is 'In Christ'. To cease from our own works and how it is that God makes that real in us and for us---to His Glory and where all Glory is to be placed.

If you wouldn’t mind be claiming, one is well on his way to getting his abundant welcome….

Be so very blessed in that increasing…

Psalm 119      I have gone astray like a lost sheep , seek thy servant for I do not forget thy commandments  

Psalm 121

121 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

² My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

³ He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

⁴ Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

⁵ The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

⁶ The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

⁷ The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

⁸ The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore

These scripture are underlined in my wife's Bible who passed some time ago

Though with the eyes of flesh, this birth can not be seen

People can see the resurrection power of God at work in us. Esp the doctors see health and healing at work in us that they do not see in people who do not have the power of God at work in them and their life. John 5:8 "Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day."

Hi, and thanks for your thoughts;  

I would agree it is true the fruit of the power of the resurrected life is to be manifested and seen by all…

But scripture does put forth it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, I hold true in that revealing we will see the new birth itself being manifested in an outward show, it was to that, that the not seeing was to address…

My thinks, may you be blessed in yours…

John is talking about when Jesus appears He will be the Lion of Judah and we will rule and reign with Him. Now we know him as the Lamb and the Suffering Servant.  The time will come when the meek will inherit the Earth.

1 John 3:2 (NKJV)

‘Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.’

As your understanding of this scripture is, may you be blessed..

Pulpit Commentary
Verse 2. - Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. The emphatic νῦν is in opposition to οὔπω: our present state is known; our future remains still unrevealed. Again (1 John 2:27, 29), we are in doubt about the construction. What is the nominative to "shall be manifested" φανερωθῇ, "he" or "it"? The context is strongly in favour of "it," i.e., "if it shall be manifested what we shall be;" 1 John 2:28 seems to favour "he," i.e., "if Christ shall be manifested." The context must prevail. "Our future state is not yet made manifest. We know that on its manifestation we shall find ourselves like God."
