Rehnborg Revisited: The New Age of Faith, "Living is He that Lord "
What to take away from Rehnborg is: "Living is He that Lord" (Jeremiah 23: 7; Alexander, note). God proves that he is here. That was the purpose of the seventy sevens, the four hundred and ninety year Anointing of Consecration upon the Jews, which was the context for the coming of Jesus Christ.
The Jews there were an everyman, an example of every man. The temple is the pattern of a human. You are the temple. And just as "living is he that Lord who brought the house of Israel from Egypt," living is he that Lord who shall rise and perform all his word regarding that temple. Regarding you.
This is true, BUT, the special anointing gets cut off after a certain time. Seven is spiritual perfection. Ten, administrative. Seventy sevens is a perfect time given for you to get your act together regarding your purpose and faith. And just short of that perfect time "the anointing shall die" (Daniel 9: 26; me). You are on your own, kid. And the question from Jeremiah is: are you a good fig, kid, or a bad fig? If you are a good fig, as the figure of speech goes, you will complete your faithfulness on your own according to your own integrity and love. Jesus was good and faithful, and as our example rested fully upon the faithfulness of his loving God. He KNEW that God is good and faithful. He had that proof from the days of anointing. "When it works, you have found Him." He had found Him.
Loss of the anointing meant nothing to Jesus: "He saved others; himself he cannot save." Paul left his friend sick in Troas; Neville left his wife, Bill, ill in the hospital. But Eil, the Almighty, gives you the opportunity to perfect your faithfulness and your love: "the graciousness of your childhood is recalled unto you, the kindness of your hopefulness as you walked behind me in the wilderness in a land that cannot be cultivated" (Jeremiah 2: 2; Alexander). He had read the book.
The eternal Godhead wants to be noticed, accepted, honored, and loved -- accounted for as a real person, capable and loving. Bad figs don't get it. They see the miracles, they receive the evidence that it works, but they just do not get it -- that the anointing only works because there is a loving Agent acting behind it -- that Living is He that Lord. THAT is the new age of faith: He lives, and he loves, and he is faithful; so be faithful, and love, and live.
When you are trusting God to the extent Jesus did, even if he never was a man, you trust God THROUGH the experience you are having. Negative as it may be. It isn't faith and trust if everything has to be strawberries and ice cream for you while you wait for the manifestation of what you have desired and procedurally imagined. This ISN'T a mechanical universe; it is a manifestation of that Lord's nature. He has spoken to me and to many thousands of others. He is thinking, feeling and deliberate. And your love is never going to be love until it actually is.
