Over and over at the Democratic National Convention, speakers plead for “UNITY!” and that’s precisely their goal as so-called
“progressives”: Global Unity, taken right out of all their New Age bibles, handbooks,
manifestos, etc.
While “the children of this world” become more and more hyper-focused
on recreating a Tower of Babel life for this earth, the Body of Christ is
steadily gaining in ranks for its part in a new kind of humanity that will one
day carry on the government of the heavens and reign over the
universe with Jesus Christ as Commander-in-Chief.
As the Apostle Paul says in Ephesians 4:13, "Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ."
Preacher Richard Jordan explains, “Jesus Christ becomes the ‘first born
from the dead’ so He might be the head of the Body, having preeminence not just
in the earth, but in the heavenly places. So God’s got this one great plan to
glorify Himself in two realms—the heaven and the earth.
“When God says He’s going to gather them together in one,
everything’s going to think like the head thinks. You know how you ‘get
together.’ You all speak the same thing, think the same thing. The Body of
Christ is the great example. As Paul says, 'Many members, yet but one body.' We have all this
diversity, but we work together as one body.
“God’s purpose is to take His creation and turn it into a
living manifestation of how He thinks, how He operates, how He responds, and He’s
going to put it all under the headship of the Lord Jesus Christ. Of course, the
Lord’s going to be the brains of the outfit of course because He’s the head.
“He’ll be located in Planet Earth as the command center, but
all through the universe, for Him to think it will be for you to do it. For Him
to will it will be for you to accomplish it. And He’ll have this whole universe
gathered together as one functioning unit.
“Sometime people say, ‘Well, aren’t we going to be on the earth when Jesus comes, because the Bible says ‘so shall we ever be with the Lord?' Have you ever thought about how dumb that is?
“How close to Him physically do you have to be to be with Him?
How many members of the Body of Christ are there in 2,000 years? Let’s take a
ridiculously low number and say there’s a million. Have you ever seen a million
people?
“I was at the top of the Sears Tower when they were having a
rally in Grant Park, after one of the Chicago Bulls championship wins, and we
looked down and saw 2 million people. Those 2 million people were trying to
look at Michael Jordan and you know, even with binoculars, he would be so tiny.
“You say, ‘We were with them,’ but when I think about being
with somebody, I think about being able to reach out and shake their hand. You
can be with somebody and not see them because you’re in a place like Grant
Park.
“I’m in Chicago, my wife’s got family down in Alabama; are
we with them? Well, we’re in the United States with them. You see, proximity
isn’t the issue. When he says, ‘We’ll be with the Lord,’ it’s not talking about
nearness, because it will be impossible for everybody to be near Him.
“Have you ever heard Jesus say, ‘If you’re not for me you’re
against me?’ If you’re not with me you’re against me. What does that mean? If
I’m with somebody, I’m in agreement with them. I’m thinking like they’re
thinking. I’m with you; I’ve got you. That’s the way that word is used.
“When it says ‘so shall we ever be with the Lord,’ you’re
never going to have any problem agreeing with the Lord, disagreeing with the Lord.
You’re always going to be ONE with Him. That’s exciting.”
