“Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the ‘Temple’ of God, and he shall go no more out; and I will ‘write’ upon him the ‘name’ of my God, and the name of the city of my God which is the ‘new’ Jerusalem, which cometh down out of ‘heaven’ from my God; and I will write upon him my new name.” Commentary: When does identity theft happen? When someone does something bad in your name! Lucifer became Satan! His name change was due to a change of character! We should do good things in the name of Jesus! We are not stealing his identity we are using his name with his power associated with his name to make the world a better place! What are we to overcome? Sin and the temptation to trust the world rather than Christ! ! We can only overcome in the name of Jesus! Christ takes our sin and paid the price for it! Death on a Cross! What is the Temple? The Temple is the habitation of God! Where he dwells! He shall no more go out! Evangelism has now been completed! The door is shut for any more redemption! Time shall be no more! Time means to honor! Honor to God here on earth has been complete The earth and heaven have become one as was intended in the Garden of Eden! The Lord’s prayer for us on earth as it is in heaven! The word “write” means engraved! Like the ten Commandments engraved into the stone with the finger of God! Jesus flesh was engraved with scars from the punishment for our sin! He became engraved so we could escape the grave! He has promised to raise us from the grave! Righteous and Holy! Forgiven not forsaken! Sacrificial love for the lost men! The word “new” means new in quality! Superior to the old Jerusalem! Heaven used here means all of his creation! Including earth, sun, moon, stars, sea, forests, clouds, rain, creatures small and great and man himself! To support the work of the Christian church is to reflect the likeness of God and his heavenly citizenship! His power Christ will be revealed to you in your hour of need! Christ with no beginning and no end will raise all from the dead! Some to everlasting life and some to eternal judgment! It all depends what you do with the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross for you! He took your judgment of death upon himself! Accept the sacrifice or take your own judgment! Forgiven sinners in heaven and unforgiven sinners in hell! You make the choice! Christ does not mean immunity from trouble but strength in the trial and the conflict! Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world! In this world Satan wars against the church but we prefer faith in Christ the unseen world over the seen world! We prefer the future to the present! The Christian life is always in conflict with the world! We have overcome the world through the strength and power of Christ! James & Hamsa Sasse. IndiaJesusLovesYou.com
