The Daily Word of Righteousness
Requirements and Purposes of the Two Resurrections, #10
Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other. Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed. (Ezekiel 47:7,8)
There was only one tree of life in the midst of the garden of Eden. In the Day of the Lord there will be very many trees of life growing along the banks of the River of Life. The one tree is Jesus. The "very many trees" are the saints growing out from the roots of Jesus.
The expression "east country" signifies the rising of the sun of the Day of the Lord. The "desert" symbolizes the dead creation. The "sea" represents the mass of mankind. Truly, the creation is waiting for the revealing of the sons of God (Romans 8:19).
The deliverance and glory of the thousand-year Kingdom Age will come from within the saints. The glory will be revealed in us. Christ will be revealed in us :
When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. (II Thessalonians 1:10)
The glory and release of the thousand-year Kingdom Age is being created in us now.
The benefits of the thousand-year Kingdom Age are being formed in us who are the firstfruits of mankind to the Lord. We now are experiencing the Day of Atonement—the reconciling of every aspect of our personality to God. At times it is very difficult to cope with the prolonged, severe, detailed probings and cuttings of the Lord as He deals with each of our sins and each dimension of our self-will and self-centeredness.
God permits us to go many years with some prayers unanswered, while other desires are granted quickly. The unanswered prayers are for the purpose of developing Divine Life and Nature in us.
As we travail in prayer concerning our difficulties the wall against sin of the new Jerusalem is being created in our personality (Judges 2:21-23; 3:1,2). The precious stones of the foundations of the wall are formed in us under great heat and pressure. The transparent gold of the street of the holy city, of the way of faith, is developed and refined in us. The glory of the thousand-year Kingdom Age is being created in us now.
It is we who will go throughout the earth bringing the Presence, the will, the ways of God. The knowledge of the Glory of God will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea (Habakkuk 2:14). This means that the Glory of God will pour from the personalities of the saints as a river of life entering and purifying the "sea" of mankind (John 7:38).
And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. (Isaiah 61:4)
To be continued.
