Yet to perceive that humanity pretation of the New Jerusalem, whose roots may come is just as central a character as God in the Bible takes divine from present, earthly anxieties, does not measure up to the revelation. Nevertheless, it is a fact. Humanity is the focal scriptural revelation of God’s lofty purpose for the believ- point of God’s creation and economy. While humanity may ers’ eternal destiny. A literal interpretation of Revelation 21 be focused on God, God’s thought is centered on human- and 22 that focuses on the physicality of our eternal exis- ity, His heart is set upon humanity, and His intention fully tence belies the fact that the preponderance of biblical rev- involves humanity (Psa. 8:4-6). Humanity is exceedingly elation concerning our eternal destiny emphasizes its spiri- precious in God’s heart, because redeemed humanity is the tual qualities that derive from the Triune God Himself and means for the manifestation of God’s glory (Rom. 9:21-23), are presented in the form of signs and symbols. the vehicle for God’s administration in His kingdom (Rev. 1:6), and the central object of God’s affection as His coun- he New Jerusalem as the ultimate sign in the book of terpart for His satisfaction in love (Eph. 5:25-27). The TRevelation is a symbol of the ultimate product of Bible’s celebrated message is that God so loved humanity God’s work with and within humanity as unveiled in the that God in Christ became a man, served, and died for entire Scriptures. On the surface, the Bible presents the humanity in order to bring redeemed humanity into His history of God in His relationship with humanity; upon eternal glory. Just as humanity needs God for the realiza- closer inspection, the Bible reveals the history of God in tion of its ultimate destiny, so also God needs humanity for His union with His elect. Perhaps the chief evidence of the satisfaction of His good pleasure. this intrinsic dimension of God’s history is His incarna- tion, which, through the union of divinity and humanity in Throughout church history, the mystery of God’s purpose the person of Christ, forever removed the chasm between and that of man’s destiny have been a continuous source the infinite, immortal God in heaven as an inhabitant of eter - for debate and discussion among Christians. According to nity and finite, mortal humanity on earth, confined in time the divine revelation in the Holy Scriptures, the ultimate (Isa. 57:15; 66:1). Because the holy city symbolizes the answer to these two mysteries is presented in the final culmination of God’s intrinsic history with His elect, the vision of the Bible—the vision of the New Jerusalem, the city cannot merely refer to a place where believers will holy city.

The Holy City symbolizes Given the New Jerusalem’s paramount importance as the a new order of human existence” (167). The holy city, the 32 Affirmation & Critique New Jerusalem, is the culmination of the union between (John 1:4; 14:6; 1 John 5:11-12). Although all things of God and man. The relationship between the new man as the old creation, including the heavens and the earth, will unveiled in Ephesians by Paul and the New Jerusalem as become old like a garment and perish, Christ, the Son of described in Revelation by John speaks of God’s intention God, will remain perpetually and remain the same, and to gain a corporate man who is joined to Him through the His years will not fail (Heb. 1:10-12). In Matthew 9:17 dispensing of His divine life for the expression of His Christ presents Himself as the new wine, since He is “the image and the exercise of His dominion. Thus, the New new life, full of vigor, stirring people to excitement” for Jerusalem is the consummate enlargement of this new the believers’ full inward enjoyment (Recovery Version, man,4 and the Triune God is Himself the very factor of note 1). In the same verse Christ reveals the church as the newness. God’s economy is His plan to impart Himself as fresh wineskins to contain Christ as the new wine.

In Ephesians 2:15 Paul declares that Christ created the believers “in In the entire universe Him self into one new only the Triune God is man.” The Greek word new; everything other translated “in” (ejn) here than Him is old.

This is corroborated by Titus 3:5, spirit (Ezek. 36:26), and He made a new covenant with which speaks of the renewing of the Holy Spirit. The His people (Jer. 31:31). The expression newness of life in Spirit, as the transmission and realization of the Divine Romans 6:4 indicates that newness is derived from the Trinity, functions to bear and communicate the Triune divine life and that the life of God has the capacity to God to humanity by becoming the intrinsic divine life, make us new.

  • BLACK Slavery As the Curse Of
    BLACK SLAVERY AS ‘THE CURSE OF HAM’— Bible Truth, Jewish Myth or Racist Apologetic? “And Noah said ‘Cursed be Canaan! A slave of slaves, a slave to his brothers! Blessed be God, the God of Shem, but Canaan shall be his slave. God prosper Japheth…But Canaan shall be his slave’.” (Gen., 9:25-27 Message) 1 Bro. Witness Lee (1905-1997) was an outstanding Bible teacher. His prodigious output of publications testifies to his ability as an expositor of Scripture. However, the “blended brothers’” posthumous exaltation of Witness Lee as the unique 2 “Minister of the Age” conferred upon him virtual infallibility. They assert that W. Lee’s 3 “ministry of the age subsumes and includes all the foregoing ministries. The whole New Testament ministry has been recovered…” His writings are ascribed a status equal to the Holy Scriptures, if not higher. To adherents W. Lee’s exposition of Scripture is the “Interpreted Word,”4 virtually inerrant, containing the Bible’s definitive interpretation. Given the undisputed primacy attributed to the “Ministry of the Age,” other interpretations (even on non- essentials) are not tolerated in the Lord’s recovery. “It is impossible for there to be different interpretations of the Scriptures…” LSM’s “blended brothers” assert,5 “Interpretational differences prove that some members have problems with the Head and are not under the Head.” Consequently LSM’s publication of the “gold bar” 6—the Recovery version of the Bible, enshrining W. Lee’s teaching in its footnotes,7 was hailed as the “canonization of the Interpreted Word,” an historic event on a par with the “canonization” of Scripture at the Council of Carthage in AD 397! These extravagant claims contrast starkly with the view espoused by most evangelical believers.

  • The Native Baptist Church, the First Jamaican Afro-Christian Movement Was Founded in 1783 by Ex-Slave, George Lisle
    The Native Baptist Church, the first Jamaican Afro-Christian movement was founded in 1783 by ex-slave, George Lisle. The American Methodist Society broke off from the Church of England in 1784 and called itself the Methodist Episcopal Church with Francis Asbury as its bishop. Methodists in Thirteen Colonies multiplied from 500 in 1771 to 15,000 in 1784, and then to 1,324,000 by 1850. The Second Great Awakening among Congregationalists and other New England churches began in 1792 and lasted for 30 years. Unitarians organized their own church in 1796. Widespread evangelistic camp meetings began in 1800 in America. The Kentucky Revival Awakenings had crowds of up to 25,000 and its meetings sweep through Kentucky, Tennessee and the Carolinas. When Martin Luther created the new religion of Protestantism he introduced a religion the focus turned to that of individualism. Each person could find salvation, read the Bible, interpret the Bible and live a Christian life as they saw it. The great revivals of the 18th and 19th centuries were very successful and many new Protestant churches were formed. Protestant influence probably played a role in creating the image of rugged American individualism of its pioneers. The newly created Protestant beliefs found a fertile seedbed in the American soil. The common man could study the Bible in his native language; the Holy Spirit would also reveal the true meanings directly to him. In addition, many local churches were self-governing and could choose their own pastors, teachers, elders, and deacons; most of whom had little or no formal education.
