glory to GOD FOR TRUTH Amen ! I give the glory to GOD THE GlORY GOES TO MY LORD JESUS AMEN ! THANK YOU FATHER GOD !!!!!! The partaking of divine flesh (the celestial body) of Christ produces life. And what is this heavenly flesh, this celestial body? We know how the Word, the Logos, who had from eternity existed in the bosom of the Father, entered upon a new stage of manifestation when He was lowered into the earth realm and was made flesh, the Son of man. After passing through His earthly experience, when He ascended to heaven, back into the realm of the Spirit, He was still the uniquely begotten Son of God who had been witnessed to by the Father throughout His earth life — and yet not altogether the same! For He was now also, as Son of man, the first-begotten from the dead, CLOTHED WITH THAT GLORIFIED HUMANITY which He had perfected and sanctified for Himself, as the second Man, thelast Adam. And now, as we receive into our lives the Spirit of the firstborn Son we truly receive the Spirit of the LAST MAN ADAM, the SECOND MAN FROM HEAVEN, the GLORIFIED JESUS, yes, the Spirit of the risen and exalted Christ, the bearer and communicator to us, not merely of the life of God as such, but of that divine life as it has been interwoven into the perfect manhood of the person of our Lord Jesus the Christ. Let us now return to the passage quoted earlier from the epistle to the Hebrews. “Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, HIS FLESH…” Jesus passed through the veil. “Through the veil” is the new and living way He has consecrated for us! And what is the veil He passed through, and which also has been consecrated for usto pass through? Is it not the veil of His flesh? Dearly beloved brethren, consider prayerfully and reverently what I now say. NOWHERE IN THE BOOK OF HEBREWS DOES IT SAY THAT THE VEIL IS REMOVED! The veil was rent, not removed. The way into the most holy place consecrated for us is through the veil. Therefore the veil remains! We will understand a great mystery when we see that the veil is the converging point between time and eternity, between earth and heaven, between flesh and spirit, between mortality and immortality. Take the shoes from off your feet, O saint of God, for the ground upon which we stand is holy. There are two sides of the veil — that is the mystery. One side of the veil faces the holy place. The other side of the veil faces the most holy place. It is the same veil, but two sides, each side in a different realm. The side of the veil that is toward the holy place faces a realm of mixture and imperfection. Nothing in the holy place is perfect, pure, and incorruptible! There is the golden lampstand, but the oil in the lampstand burns out and must daily be replenished. There is a wick which must continually be trimmed. The light it sheds forth is a weak, flickering light. The loaves of showbread upon the table contain leaven, the very symbol of fleshliness and sin, and weekly they have to be replaced. Even the altar of incense must again and again be replenished with fire from the brazen altar and a fresh supply of incense. Nothing in this order is pure, unmixed, incorruptible, and eternal! This signifies the life of Jesus (and us) as He walked in the flesh, in a natural body, subject to all the sorrows, weaknesses, pain, and death of this earth realm. He was made in all things like unto His brethren, and was tempted in all points like as we are!
