    Dan.7.17-18 "Four" (3 of 4)

    "These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth./But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever" The Spirit instruct us that the saints shall take and possess the kingdom. This is what Jesus Christ shall do and he is the Word of God on the white horse coming out of heaven."And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." He is shown being accompanied by armies."And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God./And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. Firstly notice the vesture dipped in blood. It the another bookend to what we read in context of the fall of man. "Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them." (Gen.3.21) "and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."(1 Jn.1.7; Jn 1.29) The slain Lamb in the will of God when sent to the world is the Lamb of God. When the Son of overcame he became the Law and it is what Law of the Spirit confers on him. He was anointed with the oil of gladness before his Advent. So what is the Word? It explains Jesus in his flesh was the Saviour of the Word and his Atonement is complete. Jesus Christ the Law also reconciles the time element. We are predestined, "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love/Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,"(Eph.1.4-5) Ade we among the army of saints in spiritual bodies or ministering angels for heirs of salvation is not for us to say for certain. He that led us into the God's rest is faithful. The just shall live by faith.
