I wanted to share something that I believe was a revelation from the LORD has given me, while I was studying.
PLEASE FOCUS on the WORDS -- CONDITIONS and SURRENDER and the TREE OF LIFE.
JESUS met the "conditions of SURRENDER and OBEDIENCE", and paid the "penalty of the condemnation" that was required to bring us BACK into FELLOWSHIP and RESTORATION to the FATHER. THUS the VEIL was TORN INTO.
I am sure we know that already..
But here is an understanding the LORD gave to me.
ADAM FAILED the "CONDITIONS of SURRENDER and OBEDIENCE" that caused the VEIL to separate us from GOD.
It was through ADAM’S sin that caused the VEIL to cover the HOLY of HOLIES.
Condemnation and Separation came to all men because of his sin. Leaving us SEPARATED from the HOLY OF HOLIES.
What was ADAM’S sin?
(it surely wasn't an apple)
HE did not SURRENDER or OBEY HIS CREATOR, but rather choose a path of making himself a GOD unto himself, through his OWN knowledge of good and evil.
THUS he was cast out of EDEN, before he could partake of the TREE OF LIFE. ( to live eternally in that condition of sin)
Through the Surrender and obedience of JESUS CHRIST, we now have access to the TREE OF LIFE, and HE BECAME the TREE OF LIFE for us.
THUS the WORLD WAITED for the SURRENDERED and OBEDIENT heart to regain that access to the HOLY OF HOLIES.
(for the Sacrifices of LAMB and GOATS, were only a temporary measure, until the ONE that was TRULY worthy to come)
And the ONE THAT DID come, became the BLOOD sacrifice, and met the conditions of SURRENDER and OBEDIENCE, Humbling HIMSELF before the FATHER as an example to us. Because of HIM, The HOLY of HOLIES was REOPENED, torn for mankind.
JESUS CHRIST, Surrendered and obeyed, even when HE was TEMPTED in the wilderness to be a GOD of this EARTH, in essences HE was given an offering to eat from the tree of good and evil, He rejected it and choose OBEDIENCE to the FATHER.
HE chose to SURRENDER and OBEY HIS FATHER. Rather than LIFT HIMSELF up, HE remained HUMBLE.
Through that VERY SURRENDERED HEART, as the SON OF MAN, HIS FLESH was TORN and the VEIL was ripped apart. Leaving us the example of LAYING ourselves down, and SURRENDERING to our CREATOR.
WHAT HAPPEN from that VEIL being TORN?
Once again, exposing man to the PRESENCES of the HOLY OF HOLIES. That all MEN could be SAVED if they would enter in THROUGH HIM, JESUS CHRIST.
In essence.. HE RELEASED the HOLY SPIRIT upon mankind, that the HOLY SPIRIT could now DWELL among men freely. Giving us access to the TREE OF LIFE once again.
REMEMBER it was at HIS DEATH the VEIL was TORN, not the RESURRECTION.
Matt 27: 50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
Matt 27: 51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
So if WE think "surrender and obedience" aren't important, we might want to RECONSIDER that path.
For it was through the SURRENDER and OBEDIENCE of ONE, that we can NOW EAT of the TREE OF LIFE.<<< Through HIS OBEDIENCE, That HE was elevated to become the TREE OF LIFE for us
Praise HIS NAME for HE IS WORTHY.
