Luke 7:27 The Messenger Shows Us That This Is The Bible's World, That This World, This Earth, Actually IS As God SAYS It Is
"Behold, I shall send my angel* (messenger) and he shall dry* (rub or lay) out the path before me, and out of the calm he shall come to the Lord's temple, that which you hold on to and the resurrecting angel* (messenger) that you yearn for, behold, he shall come," said the Almighty Lord" (Malachi 3:1 Alexander). "Such is written about him, that, 'Behold, I shall send my angel to [stand] before your face, so as to provide the path before us'" (Luke 7:27 Alexander). Note that the Almighty Lord says "us" in Luke 7:27, not "you" as in every other translation. He...is us.
We (our minds) are the Lord's temple, the place of YHWH's action. The Almighty is there(!!)...despite our delusion of this world being separate from Him. We, nevertheless, are an "us." And His part of us flattens the earth--rubs out the delusion, as it were, to get us to see that this world really is as the Bible says it is--in the palm of the Almighty, wholly subject to Him.
THE. WORLD. HAS. BEEN. REDEEMED. We are back to square one, as if the fall (the flip from Divine thought into the fleshly human perspective) had never taken place. We are forgiven, whether we believe and receive it or not. But we can only take advantage of it IF WE WILL BELIEVE AND RECEIVE THIS WORLD AS THE BIBLE'S WORLD. Please do not blaspheme the Holy Spirit by refusing to believe it and refusing to love because of it. “Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.” Just believe--"The just LIVE by faith" (Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38--I guess God is trying to get the point across).
Even if you do not see it, believe it. Your evidence is your experience...in the Bible's world, not this one.
