God’s Purpose, Plan and Principles Regarding Man and Creation

What is God’s plan for the Church of true believers, the body of Christ, in these, the last days, when, at any time, the Lord Jesus Christ could come and take His bride, the Church, His body, every one who has believed on the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, into the heaven, both the living and the dead, for ever to be with Him?

God’s plan is the same as it was before time began. It was all planned, event for event, that God might keep us who are of a spiritual mind of worship toward Him informed of His principles, and His purposes and plans for all ages, till the culmination of the age of the Church upon the earth.

That plan is that the gospel be preached in all nations, both Jewish nations, and Gentile nations; Gentiles being all nations that are not Israel:

Mathew 28:18-20: Jesus commands the eleven apostles:

18) “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, ‘All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth.

19) “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations (Jews and Gentiles), baptizing them (that believe the gospel, the good news that Jesus came and fulfilled all righteousness in a pure and sinless body, prepared for Him when He came into the world: Matthew 1:18; Hebrews 10:5; Galatians 4:4; Hebrews 1:1-3) in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (the Godhead: I John 5:7; Genesis 1:26; Genesis 3:22; Genesis 11:6-7):

20) “Teaching them (Jews and Gentiles, every person who believe in Christ the Son of God, according to the scripture: John 3:16-18) to observe (do, keep, teach) all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I AM with you always, even unto the end of the world (when it begins to occur, lasting for a short period of time, upon those who did not believe in Jesus, the only Savior of the lost souls of men, and therefore are left behind after the Church of true believers is taken out of the world with ‘rapture’).’ Amen.”

So then, the preaching of the gospel of Christ unto salvation is the prime objective of the Church that Jesus built, even if that is all the denominational systems within the Church can work with together:

I Corinthians 2:2: Paul settles on one remaining point of agreement:

2) “For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified (the gospel).”

This, however is God’s ‘pattern’ for the Church, as it has been since it was birthed by the baptism with the Holy Ghost, on the day of Pentecost, as prophesied (Joel 2:28-29: the last (two days = two thousand years, the approximate time which the Church shall be upon the earth, until it is taken away from the world for ever: II Peter 3:8) ‘days’ the ‘promise of the Father’: Acts 1:4,5,8; Acts 10:43-49), fifty days after Christ ascended back to the Father in heaven, where He was before the world ever came to be: John 17:5. Also, see this:

Romans 11:25, which marks the ‘fulness of the Gentiles’, at which time the Lord will remove the whole Church of individual believers from the face of the earth altogether:

I Corinthians 1:10: The ‘pattern’ (Exodus 25:40) of God for the Church; precisely, and contractually:

10) “Now I beseech you (strongly, firmly, and lovingly), brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing (truths, doctrines), and that there be no divisions (denominations) among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind, and in the same judgment (same spiritural, scriptural understanding, utilizing the same procedure of performance before the Lord).”

For two thousand years, the Church has been more and more drifting away from the perfect plan of God, even as it began to do before the New Testament was even finished.

The apostles heard more than we could otherwise know from Jesus, Who commanded them to speak or write to all believers ‘all things whatsoever I have commanded you:’ That is the reason we now have the New Testament, which is the four gospels (which are the same message in four approaches), the epistles, and the revelation of Jesus Christ, which was given to John, the last living apostle.

It is, therefore, our individual and personal responsibility of each believer in Christ to be an ambassador sent from the kingdom of heaven to the world of the lost souls of men, who are, as we were, wandering, hopelessly and aimlessly, in the wilderness of sin, awaiting the fate that their sinful body has determined for them, rather than a ‘destiny’, which God has promised those who will come to Him by Jesus Christ, through the gospel; for the current heaven and earth, which are but a shadow of the real, the spiritual, will flee from the face of God Who at that time shall be seated on a white throne of final judgment of all wicked, both spirits (angels who sinned) and mankind, which shall all be cast into a lake of fire for eternal judgment.

And God will build for His eternal family of believers, sons of God, a true, and real, spiritual heaven and earth, which will be eternal in the heavens above all natural science: Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5.

Church of individual sons of God, we must return to God, as those Israelites returned after God had also chastened them (as He has the Church, for failing to conform to His 'pattern' for the Church): Jeremiah 30:11:
11) " 'For I am with thee', saith teh Lor, 'to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished (upon the earth).'."

Hosea 6:1-3:
1) “Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for He hath torn (apart, separated us), and He will heal us; He hath smitten (us with partial blindness, and spiritual departure from Him), and He will bind us up (bandage us).
2) “After two days (two thousand years) will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live (once again) in His sight.
3) “Then shall we know (not be blind any more, or departed from Him and His ways), if we follow on to know the Lord: His going forth is prepared as the moorning; and He shall come unto us as the rain (the outpouring: Joel 2:28-29), as the latter (rain, as upon Elishah, in a greater proportion of His Spirit) and the former rain (as upon the about a hundred twenty on the day of Pentecost, which included the eleven apostles) unto the earth (flesh, us).”
