“And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.” ~Revelation 11: 12, 13 (KJV)
The Bride no longer perceives heaven or “God” from an earthly, Adamic point of view; She now sees, beholds the earth from atop the Mercy Seat, from atop the Throne of Grace… and through the very eyes of Her Beloved… where She is seated together with Him, in Him… even, in The Lamb. See, the Law was crucified and put to death, thereby fulfilled… YES, BOTH THE LAW & THE PROPHETS, OR MOSES AND ELIJAH, DIED TOGETHER IN CHRIST WITH US ALL! The pretentiously arrogant, narcissistic, modern Scribe declares, “But you can’t crucify and put to death two tablets of stone!” Very true. Yet this is precisely why the Word… both The Law & The Prophets, or Moses and Elijah… “became flesh, and dwelt among us…” What “word,” do we think, became flesh? In Jesus’ own words, “I did not come to destroy the Law or the prophets, but to fulfill them…” Well, pray tell, what happens to something once it is finished, fulfilled, or accomplished? It’s completed, and laid to rest for all to see, behold. And when, exactly, did this “finishing,” or “fulfilling,” or “completion,” or “accomplishment” occur?? That would be on The Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ; upon which, in Jesus’ own words, “…hang all the Law and the prophets.” From where, do we think, Moses and Elijah appeared on top of the Mount of Transfiguration? They “peek-a-booed” from within the flesh of Jesus’ own, physical body. And what was the subject matter, or substance, of all they were speaking, discussing with Him? Well, His decease or death (together with both theirs, and ours), which He Himself would accomplish at Jerusalem [*or, “The Lord shall Provide Peace (The Lamb),” giving us all true rest (*or “Sabbath”) from our thinking that we have to keep or obey all the Law and the prophets!]
