    Lk.10.1 "Other Seventy" (3 of 3)

    God set the decree: " I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee."(Ps.2.7). This day from which seven days runs continually till God may be all in all. As God has blessed all whom He has called we hace the cuese by the same token on those who reject the call. It is thus we have the day of regeneration where the twelve thrones are set up to judge the 12 tribes of Israel. The everlasting gospel does not fall silent on account of it. The seventy other represent the Word which was with God whose authority is 'forever settled in heaven' so Law shall go forth from Zion. Until Satan is thrown into the lake of fire and second death is executed we have nations at war with one another. " for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem./And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."(Isa.2.3.4)

    We have the vision where St John is given a little book. The angel of the Lord " cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices."(Rev.10.2) The seven thunders refer to the gospel of Christ which has been fulfilled. While the everlasting gospel is not. Hence this command from heaven,"Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings." Here we have the seventy whom Jesus calls the other. They were sent under the authority of the Law of the Spirit, so they return from their ministry, "And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name."(Lk.10.17) The risen Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.(Heb.13.8) Jesus in humanity had an end but seated n the right hand of God seventy represents the whole number.
