The Unique Blessing is the Triune God being Dispensed in His Divine Trinity into us

This week in our deeper study of Numbers we come Num. 6:22-27, The Eternal Blessing of the Triune God, and today we want to see that the unique blessing in the universe is God Himself, and this blessing comes to us through the dispensing of the Divine Being into us in His Divine Trinity.

In the Judeo-Christian tradition this portion in Num. 6 is quite a common benediction, usually toward the end of the “Christian service”, in the sense of blessing the congregation.

But this threefold blessing of Jehovah points to or foreshadows the Divine Trinity, the blessing from the Divine Trinity. We need to have a clear view of the Divine Trinity as the structure of the entire divine revelation, and we need to enjoy His divine dispensing, which is God’s blessing.

When we say “blessing” many times we say it in a loose, natural, or religious way; by general definition, blessing is something that is given or conferred for the happiness and welfare of the recipients of the blessing.

Blessing is always something wonderful. But what we refer to as blessing is not just blessing from man to man, but the blessing from God, even from the Triune God to His people. We need to look at this in a deeper way.

In the Old Testament, in Hebrew, blessing means to give or do something of value to another one; when Jehovah blesses His people, He gives, provides, furnishes, something of value for the needs of His people and for their participation.

In Greek one meaning of “blessed” is that there’s an extension of benefits in a bountiful way to someone who is happily placed in a very favored position to receive that blessing, to receive these benefits.

In Eph. 1:3 we see that we as believers are blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus. Bless here means to praise, to say something good, to speak well of; it is a kind of well speaking.

Blessing is a good speech, a fair utterance, a well-speaking, which also implies a benefit. In other words, to conclude, blessing is a speaking, a statement from God, of favor, of good will, and of happiness to us, and it is also the situation that fulfills that blessing, the condition that displays that blessing, which are all the wonderful, good, kind, blessed words.

It is not a small thing to have God say something good to us; when He speaks something positive, something good and happy, this means that God is blessing us. We need to be those who, by His mercy, are in a condition to receive this kind of blessing.

May we be saved from our natural and religious understanding of God’s blessing, and may we lift up our eyes to realise that God’s blessing is spiritual, divine, eternal, and inward.

May we all be under the Lord’s blessing; may we be enshrouded, enveloped, and embraced by the blessed speaking of the Triune God, and may the reality of these blessings fill us, saturate us, and permeate us!

The Unique Blessing is the Triune God, and this Blessing comes to us through His Dispensing

The unique blessing in the entire universe is the Triune God, and this blessing comes to us through the dispensing of the Divine Being into us in His Divine Trinity – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Physical things such as a good education, a nice house, a better car, a good career, a thriving business, and good health – even though they are good and not bad, they are not the blessings that God is mainly concerned about.

God wants to bless us with Himself, with His very being, and with all that He has done and accomplished. He first purposed these things, then He accomplished them and applies them to our being; He wants to dispense all that He is and has done into us to bless us with Himself bountifully!

There are many times that the Nazarites and the believers in Christ are outwardly stripped, in a state of suffering, and having nothing; if we look at Paul and the others, we may not say that they were blessed in a human sense when they were in prison, but they enjoyed the unique blessing in the universe, which is the Triune God, and they were blessed with God Himself.

What we’re talking here is not just the blessing of God Himself, but the blessing that comes through the dispensing of Himself; God’s blessing is God’s dispensing, and the unique blessing is the Triune God – and this blessing comes to us through His dispensing.

The entire process of God’s dispensing from eternity to eternity is one gigantic blessing.

This blessing is seen in the entire Bible, even before the creation of the universe – in eternity past, when the Father would select us, mark us out, and predestined us unto sonship to be holy.

Then in time, God was incarnated in the Son to be a man to accomplish redemption for our forgiveness of sins and, eventually, after His death and resurrection, He became the Spirit to indwell us, live within us, be one with us, and seal us, being a pledge and guarantee of the full enjoyment of the Triune God.

In all this process God is our unique inheritance, and we are His unique inheritance, and this consummates in the eternity future in the New Jerusalem!

This is the blessing of the Triune God eternally. Isn’t this so much better than something physical, some physical possessions?

God has blessed us by His dispensing of His divine being in this kind of way; without this blessing, everything in this universe is vanity of vanities.

Many men have testified throughout history that, no matter how much fame they had, how much fortune they have gained, how many things they have amassed, they are still not “happily ever after” but rather, everything was vanity of vanities.

When man is void of the unique blessing – the Triune God, everything is zero, everything is nothing.

Eph. 1 gives us a record of how the Triune God blesses His chosen, redeemed, and transformed people in His Divine Trinity, issuing in the church as the Body of Christ, the fulness of the One who fills all in all.

In these blessings we have the blessing of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit – the triune blessing from the Triune God, the triune dispensing of God into us, to make us the chosen, redeemed, and transformed people of God, the church as the Body of Christ.

God Himself is our blessing, and this blessing comes to us through the dispensing of the Divine Being into us in His Divine Trinity.

As men created by God in His image and according to His likeness, we have a “divinely implanted sense of purpose” in us, which works throughout the ages, and which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy.

Only God can satisfy us; temporal things may temporarily satisfy us, but the real, deep, and meaningful satisfaction is the unique blessing in the universe – the Triune God Himself.

There’s a deep sense of a purpose in us, in our heart, and only when we know God, enjoy God, and experience God are we satisfied.

God blesses us in His Divine Trinity – in the Father, in the Son, and in the Spirit, and His blessing issues in the church as the Body of Christ, the fulness of the One who fills all and in all.

The church as the Body of Christ is the total issue of the Divine Trinity as a flow to dispense all that God is into us, His chosen people; the church is the fulness, the totality, of the One who fills all and in all.

This eternal blessing of God is not just for you and I to have some enjoyment or happiness; ultimately, it results in the church and it consummates in the New Jerusalem!

Thank You Lord for putting in us a divinely implanted sense of purpose which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy. Amen, Lord, You are our unique satisfaction, our unique blessing. Hallelujah, the unique blessing in the universe is the Triune God, and this blessing comes to us through the dispensing of the Triune God in His Divine Trinity into us to produce us as the church, the Body of Christ, the fulness of the One who fills all and in all! Lord, we open to Your divine dispensing so that we may be blessed with the Triune God and be truly satisfied. Praise the Lord!

The New Jerusalem is the Ultimate Fulfillment of God’s Blessing to His People

In Eph. 1 we see how the Triune God blesses His people in the Father (vv. 3-6), in the Son (vv. 7-12), and in the Spirit (vv. 13-14). There is a flow of the Divine Trinity from eternity into time, into man, through man, and the issue is the church as the Body of Christ, the fulness of the One who fills all and in all.

The unique blessing is the Triune God, and He blesses us with Himself by dispensing Himself in His Divine Trinity into us to produce us as the church, the Body of Christ, the fulness of the One who fills all and in all.

The consummation and fulfillment of the blessing of the Triune God is the New Jerusalem, the holy city.

In this city we see the number twelve again and again: twelve gates with the names of the twelve tribes (Rev. 21:12), twelve foundations with the names of the twelve apostles (v. 14), the tree of life bearing twelve kinds of fruits (22:2), and the dimensions of the wall are multiples of twelve.

The number twelve is everywhere, and this number shows that the Triune God is being mingled with His people to be their blessing.

The consummation of the record of the entire Bible is God the Triune as the very particular and subjective blessing to His people.

In the holy city we see how the very God in His Divine Trinity – the Father, the Son, and the Spirit – who is fully mingled, dispensed into, constituted, and saturating His chosen, redeemed people as their blessing.

The New Jerusalem is the fulfillment and ultimate blessing of the Triune God to His people, and such a blessing will last for eternity.

This blessing is the ultimate fulfillment of God’s blessing to Israel in Num. 6; only when the New Jerusalem comes will this blessing be completely fulfilled.

Today we are in the process of the fulfillment of God’s blessing toward His people; we are enjoying the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity as our unique blessing, and we are being produced to be the church, the Body of Christ, the fulness of the One who fills all and in all, and we are being consummated to be the New Jerusalem!

Praise the Lord, for eternity we will be enjoying the unique blessing – the Triune God, by enjoying the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity into us until we and Him, Him and us, become one corporate entity for the corporate expression of the Triune God!

Lord, keep us enjoying You as the unique blessing today so that we may be mingled with the Triune God and become the church, the Body of Christ, the fulness of the One who fills all and in all! Keep us receiving the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity day by day, enjoying the Father’s selection, the Son’s redemption, and the Spirit’s sealing until we become Your fulness. Amen, Lord, keep us under Your blessing enjoying You as our unique blessing until we become the New Jerusalem, the ultimate fulfillment of God’s blessing!
