In Numbers two we see how the children of Israel were encamped in array as an army, each tribe by its own standard, all facing the center. After the numbering in ch. 1, the children of Israel were put in an array around the tabernacle – this is God’s first step of formation of the […]
Paying the Price to have the Upper-Room Consecration to follow the Heavenly Vision
January 12, 2019 by Leave a Comment
For us to be in the continuation of the book of Acts, we need to continue to live in the divine history by having an upper-room consecration, being willing to pay the price and be “married” to the heavenly vision of Christ and the church. If we read the book of Acts we will realise […]
We’re Washed and Anointed by the Spirit for our Consecration for the Priesthood
September 4, 2018 by Leave a Comment
It is very enlightening to see in Lev. 8 the details of the consecration for the priesthood for Aaron and his sons, and to realise that these details are actually a type of what happens with us as we consecrate to the Lord to be priests. We are a holy nation, a royal priesthood, a […]
Only what Comes out of Christ can be the Church to Match Christ as His Counterpart
January 10, 2018 by 7 Comments
Only what comes out of Christ can return to Christ to match Christ as His counterpart, just as only what came out of Adam and was built by God to become a woman could return to him to be his wife. It is important for us to see what did God do to gain His […]
God Desires to have Christ and the Church for His Expression and Dominion on Earth

![The third step of God’s procedure in fulfilling His purpose was to work Himself into man to make man His complement. Adam here [in Genesis 2:18] typifies God in Christ as the real, universal Husband, who is seeking a wife for Himself (Rom. 5:14; cf. Isa. 54:5; John 3:29; 2 Cor. 11:2; Eph. 5:31-32; Rev. 19:7; 21:9). Adam’s need for a wife typifies and portrays God’s need, in His economy, to have a wife as His complement.

In Genesis 2 we see a picture of Christ and the church in the types of Adam and Eve; God wants not only Christ (as typified by Adam) but also the church – God wants Christ and the church. Christ is the mystery of God, He is the explanation and expression of God, and He […]
Christ is God’s Appointed Heir, and we are His Joint-Heirs, Christ’s Partners
July 13, 2017 by 11 Comments
In this universe God has a great divine operation, which is to accomplish a glorious expression of Himself; the church is a corporate partnership with Christ, and we are Christ’s partners and His joint heirs in God’s corporation. Wow! All this can be seen in Heb. 3:14, 1:9, and in other portions such as Rom. […]
The Lord’s Ultimate Recovery is His Ultimate Move to Recover Christ and the Church
May 20, 2017 by 4 Comments
We need to see a vision of the world’s ultimate situation (how God arranged the world situation for the spreading of the gospel), God’s ultimate move (which is in man to have Christ as their life for the Body of Christ), and the Lord’s ultimate recovery. The world’s ultimate situation today involves the fact that […]
