GREAT BOOMERANG OF GOD

GREAT BOOMERANG OF GOD

“With a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things upon the earth.” Eph. 1:10

Here is the 1000 year reign of Christ over the Kingdom of God arriving from heaven which it is also called. [Rev. 20] The millennial kingdom is the time of blessedness on earth for Israel restored to God, for Israel reclaimed to Christ, and lies beyond His Second Coming, beyond the resurrection of the dead. In the NT such terms as 'the regeneration' Matt. 19:28; 'the times of refreshing' Acts 3:19; 'the times of restitution' Acts 3:21; 'the kingdom' 1 Cor. 15:24; 'the dispensation of the fullness of time' Eph. 1:10.

Eph. 1:3-14 Here, “He” refers to the Father, as also in Eph. 1:6. The Father’s work of predestination is expounded in Eph. 1:1-6, the Son’s work of redemption in Eph. 1:7-12, and the Spirit’s work of sealing in Eph. 1:13-14. This passage (Eph. 1:3-14) is said to be the longest sentence in the Bible.

Christ is both Creator and Consummator of all things (Col. 1:16-20).

As far as the things of God, all things come from God and also return to Him. The Great Boomerang of God.

This plan is realized in and through Jesus Christ our Lord. Christ is the key to the riddle of the universe. <fullness of times> Not too early, never too late. Had He come sooner He would have come too soon; had He come later He would have come too late. He came when the Hebrew nation had prepared in the history of the world the great spiritual atmosphere resulting from the monotheistic doctrine of God. The history of that people is a history of persistent sin against God. However much the Hebrew nation failed, after the captivity they never again set up an idol. They went back to their land a broken, poor, miserable remnant only, under Zerubbabel, Ezra, and Nehemiah; with no king, no prophet, no priest; but a people who had learned the lesson with which they started, “Hear O Israel Jehovah thy God is one.” (Deut 6:4).

                My new relationship between heaven and earth is based upon these two prepositions <In the heavens> and <upon the earth>. Christ gains an inheritance in every soul He indwells. Christ is richer for having you (Vs. 18). You also gain an inheritance in Christ (cf. Vs. 14).
