NAS95S
Eph. 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who
has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in
Christ,
Eph. 1:4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world,
that we would be holy and blameless before Him.
In love
Eph. 1:5 1He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to
Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,
Eph. 1:6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed
on us in the Beloved.
Since
man
fell
from
the
glory
man
could
not
stand
in
the
Presence
of
God.
God
devised
an
elaborate
plan
so
that
He
could
dwell
among
men
in
the
Shechinah
in
the
Tabernacle
and
in
the
Temple
in
O.T.
times.
But
from
before
the
katabole
(overthrow)
of
the
world
(the
judgment
of
Satans
earthly
kingdom),
God
had
a
plan
in
place
to
prepare
a
people
who
could
stand
before
Him,
in
His
Presence,
forever.
Heb.
9:14
How
much
more
shall
the
blood
of
Christ,
who
through
the
eternal
Spirit
offered
himself
without
spot
to
God,
purge
your
conscience
from
dead
works
to
serve
the
living
God?
God
knew
man
would
be
tempted
and
fall.
But
if
One
would
go
and
live
a
sinless
life,
required
by
a
Just
One,
that
earthen
vessel
in
which
He
lived
could
be
broken,
and
the
Life
that
is
in
His
Blood
could
be
poured
out
for
all
mankind.
Somewhere
in
a
great
Eternal
Moment,
the
Anointed
One,
offered
Himself
through
the
Great
Eternal
Spirit,
The
Holy
Spirit,
to
the
Father
God.
He
offered
to
humble
Himself
and
live
in
a
mans
Body
without
spot,
then
to
offer
His
Blood
to
purge
the
sins
of
the
world.
The
Mystery
of
the
Ecclesia
The
Church
The
New
Testament
calls
Gods
plans
mysteries.
Some
of
the
mysteries
the
New
Testament
speaks
about
are:
the
mystery
of
Israel
(Romans
11:25,
26):
the
mystery
of
iniquity
(2
Thess.
2:7);
and
the
mystery
of
the
church
(numerous
references).
The
Companion
Bible
says:
The
English
word
mystery
is
a
transliteration
of
the
Greek
word
musterion,
which
means
a
sacred
secretsomething
concealed
that
can
be
revealed.1
God
concealed
His
plan
for
the
church
throughout
the
O.T.
Prophets
prophesied
about
it,
while
they
wondered
of
what,
and
of
whom
they
were
speaking.
Even
the
Gospel
writers
did
not
grasp
the
mystery.
It
was
not
until
a
man
named
Paul
came
along
that
God
revealed
what
He
had
concealed,
the
mystery
of
the
church.
The
Holy
Spirit
through
Paul
refers
to
it
as:
the
mystery,
which
was
kept
secret
since
the
world
began
(Romans
16:25)
the
mystery,
which
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
hath
been
hid
in
God(Eph.
3:9).
Brim
note:
When
I
heard
Satan,
with
fallen
the
man
cringing
behind
him,
mock
God
saying,
What-are-you-gonna-do
now?
What-are-you-gonna-do-now?
I
saw,
with
emphasis
upon
the
fact,
that
God
did
not
answer
Him.
I
knew
it
was
purposeful.
I
saw,
as
it
were,
a
door
in
the
midst
of
God
marked
Top
Secret.
God
did
not
open
that
door
then
to
Satan.
God
did
not
open
that
door
throughout
the
Old
Testament.
God
did
not
open
that
door
throughout
Matthew,
Mark,
Luke,
or
John.
Pauls
Revelation
When
Jesus
was
about
to
go
to
His
Passion,
He
said
to
His
disciples,
I
have
yet
many
things
to
say
unto
you,
but
ye
cannot
bear
them
now
(John
16:12).
KJV
John
16:13
Howbeit
when
he,
the
Spirit
of
truth,
is
come,
he
will
guide
you
into
all
truth:
for
he
shall
not
speak
of
himself;
but
whatsoever
he
shall
hear,
that
shall
he
speak:
and
he
will
shew
you
things
to
come.
John
16:14
He
shall
glorify
me:
for
he
shall
receive
of
mine,
and
shall
shew
it
unto
you.
John
16:15
All
things
that
the
Father
hath
are
mine:
therefore
said
I,
that
he
shall
take
of
mine,
and
shall
shew
it
unto
you.
John
16:16
A
little
while,
and
ye
shall
not
see
me:
and
again,
a
little
while,
and
ye
shall
see
me,
because
I
go
to
the
Father.
One
of
the
most
important
things
the
Holy
Spirit
would
reveal,
was
the
hidden
mystery
of
the
church.
It
was
not
revealed
in
the
O.T.
It
was
not
revealed
in
the
Four
Gospels.
It
was
revealed
first,
to
the
Apostle
Paul.
(During
17
years
easily
traceable
in
Galatians
1:122:2
?
Arabia
[1:16,17]
3
yrs
Damascas
[1:17,18]
15
days
Jerusalem
[1:18]
14
yrs
Syria,
Cilicia
[1:21,
2:7]
17
Years
Plus
And
it
is
revealed
in
the
Epistles
to
the
Church.
All
the
Bible
is
for
the
Church.
But
not
all
the
Bible
is
about
the
Church.
The
N.T.
Epistles
are
to,
for,
and
about
the
Church.
Brim
Note:
The
Holy
Spirit
recently
drew
to
my
attention
Psalm
25:14
in
the
ArtScrolls
Hebrew
to
English
translation,
The
secret
of
HASHEM
(LORD)
is
for
those
who
fear
Him,
and
His
covenant
is
to
let
them
(cause
them
to)
know.
Gods
covenant
was
to
reveal
this
mystery
(secret).
God
through
the
Holy
Spirit
caused
Paul
to
know
it.
He
made
it
known
to
Paul.
And
He
causes
us
to
know
through
the
Pauline
revelation.
2Cor.
4:6
For
God,
who
commanded
the
light
to
shine
out
of
darkness,
hath
shined
in
our
hearts,
to
give
the
light
of
the
knowledge
of
the
glory
of
God
in
the
face
of
Jesus
Christ.
2Cor.
4:7
But
we
have
this
treasure
in
earthen
vessels,
that
the
excellency
of
the
power
may
be
of
God,
and
not
of
us.
At
ones
new
birth,
the
Creator
who
said,
Light
be
in
the
darkness
of
Genesis
1,
says
to
the
darkened
and
dead
spirit
of
man,
Light
be,
and
the
work
of
glorification
is
begun
which
is
to
end
in
complete
glorification
throughout
Eternity
in
the
Presence
of
the
Father.
At
the
New
Birth,
the
creation
of
the
New
Creation
Man,
the
Glory
of
God
enters
mans
heart,
his
spirit.
At
the
New
Birth
man
has
within
him
all
the
Glory
of
God,
the
Presence
of
God
that
he
can
abide.
(Thats
why
hope
of
glory.)
That
Presence
is
to
grow
and
overtake
Him,
spirit,
soul,
and
body,
as
He
yields
to
the
plan
to
reflect
the
light
of
the
knowledge
of
the
Glory
of
God
in
the
face
of
Jesus
Christ.
That
knowledge
of
the
Glory
of
God
is
revealed
in
the
mirror
of
Gods
Word
and
the
desired
effect
is
brought
about
by
the
Holy
Spirit
as
He
changes
the
believer
into
the
very
image
of
the
Master.
The
Glorified
Body
of
Christ
becomes
a
Bride
fit
for
Him.
(Genesis
2:18).
The
Glorious
Church.
(Eph
5:27.)
This
passage
speaks
of
the
believers
open,
unveiled,
face
when
one
reads
the
Word.
2Cor.
3:18
And
all
of
us,
as
with
unveiled
face,
[because
we]
continued
to
behold
[in
the
Word
of
God]
as
in
a
mirror
the
glory
of
the
Lord,
are
constantly
being
transfigured
into
His
very
own
image
in
ever
increasing
splendor
and
from
one
degree
of
glory
to
another;
[for
this
comes]
from
the
Lord
[Who
is]
the
Spirit.
Example:
When
I
first
worked
for
Kenneth
E.
Hagin,
I
often
needed
to
talk
to
him
about
something.
He
was
on
the
road
ministering.
So
I
saved
my
questions
to
ask
him
when
he
came
in.
But,
when
he
walked
into
my
office,
I
became
tongue-tied.
It
seemed
to
me
like
God
walked
in.
I
beat
myself
up,
thinking,
Hes
not
God.
Why
am
I
acting
like
this?
As
I
grew
in
the
revelation
of
the
Glory,
the
Lord
explained
it
to
me.
He
made
me
to
know,
Some
people
have
yielded
to
the
plan.
They
have
been
changed
from
glory
to
glory
until
they
are
carriers
of
a
higher
degree
of
glory
than
others.
I.e.
a
higher
degree
of
the
presence
of
God.
