Today, God Shines On Earth Through The Heavenly Jerusalem

The Table With Brother Joshua

At our last gathering at The Table, we saw how great our God is when we understood that His Throne is not in Heaven, but that Heaven is His Throne, with the earth as the stool for His feet.

Consequently, we saw the infinite scope of The Kingdom of our Father.

We saw that all of the greatness and all the authority of The Kingdom of God are vested in The Name of our Lord Jesus.

We also saw that the great love which our Father loved us with is revealed tangibly in The Name of Jesus.

The Name of Jesus delivers to us here on the earth the practical benefits of the love of God.

Amongst other manifestations of the love of our Father, we saw that in The Name of Jesus, we are absolutely immunized from all toxins and from the venoms of serpents and scorpions.

In other words, in The Name of Jesus, no poison from external sources — no airborne diseases, no water-borne diseases, no venom from animals like mosquitoes, snakes, scorpions, and all, can in any way hurt us.

Our Lord Jesus said this to us in Mark 16:18 and Luke 10:19.

However, we do not deliberately expose ourselves to poisonous substances or venomous animals in order that God may prove Himself: such thinking is to have fallen into the Tempter’s snare.

The Name of Jesus trumps every sickness and every disease, and He keeps physical death on hold until God’s eternal purpose summed up in His Son is accomplished in, and through us in our mortal bodies.

Furthermore, we understood that our Lord Christ was born again by His Father when God raised Him from the dead and brought Him out of hell.

And we saw His Father subsequently enthrone Him as His King on Mount Zion.

We concluded our meal by seeing that our Lord Christ is the great King ruling on the earth from the throne of His father David, in Mount Zion.

Today, our main dish is served from the words of our Lord Jesus taken from Matthew 5:14:
Mat 5:14
You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

We will note the following in these two sentences:

1. Our Lord Jesus was speaking to His disciples.

2. He said to His disciples that they are the light of the world.

3. He spoke to His disciples about a city situated on a hill, which cannot but be visible to all.

Our Lord Jesus would subsequently expound these words to His Apostle in Revelation chapters 21 and 22.

We will begin with chapter 21 and verses 9–11:
Rev 21:9–11
(9) And one of the seven angels who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, Come here, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.
(10) And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
(11) having the glory of God. And its light was like a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.

May you be nourished with the bread of life as you continue to listen, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
