As we deal
with the theme of the Everlasting Gospel, we turn to the 90th Psalm. As we talk
about the Everlasting Gospel, we are talking about an age old message about
God’s purposes from the beginning, from Everlasting to Everlasting. Now, of
course, there is a time element in Everlasting. And it includes some
millenniums in it as it goes from Everlasting to Everlasting, but still it is a
long, long time.
‘LORD, thou
has been our dwelling place in all generations.’ This is a word of truth as
expressed by David the Psalmist, who was an Israelite indeed. ‘Thou has been
our dwelling place in all generations.’ And of course, the situation goes on
even before this, for--- ‘Behold the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou
hast formed the earth, and the world, even from Everlasting to
Everlasting--THOU ARE OUR GOD. Thou has been our dwelling place before You
created the heavens and the earth, our dwelling place in all generations.’
Of course,
the great area of Divine mystery concerning the knowledge of the pre-existence
of the sons of God is so well expressed by the apostle Paul as he writes in
Ephesians, that we existed with the Father, in love, in the heavens before the
world was framed. That we have already been blessed with all blessings of the
spirit in heavenly places. And when we understand this, we recognize that there
is no area of spiritual blessings through the spirit or by the spirit that has
not been already bestowed upon the sons and daughters, because they have been
begotten by incorruptible seed. Thus, having been begotten of incorruptible
seed, they are perfect. Therefore, we were with God. We knew the things of God.
We were perfect because of the Celestial conscious of man when he existed in
the heavens, for he then moved with the mind of the Father (Spirit). Then Paul
tells us, ‘Absent from this body, is to be present with the LORD.’ Then the
Apostle Paul goes so far as to say, ‘When HE appears, we are going to see even
as we are beheld, we are going to be known even as we are known.’ Why? How?
Because in a moment--in the twinkling of an eye, the children of the MOST HIGH
will have the affinity which they have with their Father, and because of the
conscious quickening of HIS Spirit, they shall be instantly transformed. They
will be instantly transformed even in the capacities of their bodies and in the
capacities of their minds. And the intelligence to comprehend the thoughts of
the MOST HIGH will bring this to pass. For in the spiritual plains, you did
comprehend the thoughts of God. Every secret wisdom was made known unto thee in
the areas of pre-Adamic beginning, when the Adamic race was placed in the
earth. One of the conditions of their fall, was that their intellect was
covered as tho with a veil, and they could not understand, nor remember what
had happened in the spiritual plain.
