Contributed by Herbert Armstrong Bosantog on Nov 7, 2012 (message contributor)
Summary: “God will do ALL His PLEASURES and ACCOMPLISH ALL His PLANS for MANKIND.” Jesus Christ was RAISED from the DEAD and is now SEATED at the RIGHT HAND of God, the HIGHEST POSITION (PINNACLE) in the entire UNIVERSE. The HOLY SPIRIT was SENT according to the
The PINNACLE of our FAITH:
1. Jesus CHRIST is the AUTHOR of our FAITH.
Jesus CHRIST is “the WORD.” ALL THINGS were CREATED by Him, through Him and for Him. Jesus CHRIST is the PINNACLE or SUPREME (“First Born”) over ALL CREATION. The CREATOR SUSTAINS and HOLDS everything together under His CONTROL.
“He will do ALL His PLEASURES and ACCOMPLISH ALL His PLANS for MANKIND.”
2. Jesus CHRIST is the PINNACLE or PERFECT, visible, IMAGE of God.
“The WORD” was made FLESH, begotten of the FATHER through the HOLY SPIRIT and is DECLARED the “SON of GOD”. He was born HUMAN to FULFILL ALL what is WRITTEN about the “Messiah”, (the “Awaited SAVIOR” of MANKIND), in the LAW of Moses, in the Psalms and by the Prophets.
3. The CROSS of Jesus CHRIST is the PERFECT REVELATION of the PINNACLE of God’s LOVE for MANKIND.
Jesus CHRIST DIED on the CROSS to REVEAL our HUMAN SALVATION, to REDEEM us from DARKNESS and to RESTORE our RELATIONSHIP to God. He represents the EXACT LIKENESS of God. For God was in CHRIST, RECONCILING ALL HUMANITY to Himself. “It is Finished!”
4. Jesus CHRIST RESCUED us from the POWER of SIN, BROUGHT us OUT from the DOMINION of DARKNESS; SAVED us from the CAPTIVITY of Satan’s KINGDOM, and CONQUERED the LAST ENEMY to be DESTROYED (“Death”), by His RESURRECTION.
He was RAISED from the DEAD and is now SEATED at the RIGHT HAND of God, the HIGHEST POSITION (PINNACLE) in the entire UNIVERSE. The HOLY SPIRIT was SENT according to the PROMISE as our HELPER to TEACH us ALL THINGS, to GUIDE us into ALL TRUTH and to give us POWER to OVERCOME evil.
5. Jesus CHRIST will REIGN in the PINNACLE over ALL the NATIONS as KING of kings, when He COMES BACK.
He is waiting until His ENEMIES will be PUT UNDER His FEET and SUBMIT to His LAW, then He will RESTORE the ETERNAL THRONE of David in Jerusalem, and establish the PROMISED KINGDOM. So that in His NAME, every KNEE will BOW and every TONGUE CONFESS that “Jesus CHRIST is LORD!”
6. The ORIGINAL KINGDOM or GOVERNMENT of God that was made CHAOTIC by the “Lucifer Rebellion” shall be RESTORED.
We, who OVERCAME the works of the DEVIL, will receive CROWNS and SIT at the RIGHT HAND of the ETERNAL THRONE as our GLORIOUS INHERITANCE. We will REIGN with Jesus CHRIST and EVERYTHING will be put in ORDER under the MIGHTY POWER of His COMMAND. Then, He will turn the KINGDOM over to the Heavenly FATHER. This is the PINNACLE of our “Blessed Hope.”
7. Jesus CHRIST is the FINISHER of our FAITH.
He will make ALL THINGS NEW, the OLD Heaven and OLD earth will disappear, NEW Heaven and NEW earth will SHINE. It shall be the ULTIMATE END of evil, war, hatred, gnashing of teeth, weeping, pain, sorrow, poverty, diseases, destruction and DEATH. ALL creation will WORSHIP and SUBMIT to His SOVEREIGN RULE in the entire UNIVERSE for ALL ETERNITY. This is the PINNACLE of the “SCOPE of God’s PLAN” for MANKIND before the world BEGAN!
