JESUS, THE FIRSTBORN - 7TH MESSAGE.....(TUE PM 12/31/96)

(New Year’s Eve Service) This Message is a continuation of the Stature of Truth about Jesus, the Firstborn. (I) The Firstborn is the Prophet, Priest, and King of many brethren. (II) The Firstborn is the Prophet, Priest, and King of Every creature, all creation. (III) The Firstborn is the Prophet, Priest, and King of the Dead. And, (IV) The Firstborn is the Prophet, Priest, and King of the Church, His Body.

As the Firstborn of all creation, He will not stop working until each creature does what he has been created to do.

There are four Eternal Abodes: Sinners will go to the Lake of Fire, where they will be forced to bow their knees and praise His Name. Believers who grow to Foot-realm or Loin-realm of Christ’s Spiritual Stature will go to the New Heavens, where they will continue their spiritual education. Believers who grow to the Shoulder-realm of Christ’s Stature will go to the New Earth where they, too, will continue their spiritual education. The Bride, who will grow to spiritual maturity in this life, will dwell eternally in the New City, and she will help to educate all the others who did not take advantage of their opportunity to learn in this life
