Teachings – Health on all Beneath its Shade

HEALTH ON ALL BENEATH ITS SHADE

UNFOLDING FIFTY-FOUR

WHERE WE ARE

Oh, to enjoy the healing of all the inhabitants of earth – from Adam in the Garden of Eden to the last of the elect, quickened unto a new life in Christ Jesus through the inward working of God’s Spirit! Oh, to drink from the river of life, and to eat of the fruit of the tree of life in the New Jerusalem. As assuredly as I write these thoughts, I know one day I shall bask in the light of Christ and we shall be healed.

SCRIPTURE

Revelation 22:1-2

“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”

HEALTH ON ALL BENEATH ITS SHADE
UNFOLDING FIFTY-FOUR

Pastor opens –

“Cities on earth should more and more strive after purity.”

And then adds:

“Up yonder in heaven the sanitary measures are perfection, for ‘there shall by no means enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination or maketh a lie.”

 “Nor is there merely provision for bare necessities, their love of beauty is considered. The city itself shines ‘ like a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.”

Cities and nations:

“It is in heaven that there grows the tree which is not only health to heaven, bur which brings healing to the nations here below. Heaven is the abode of Jesus, and Jesus is the tree of life.”

Sadly,

“All the nations are sick. Leaves are provided for their healing, which would be superfluous if they did not require to be healed.”

Finally,

“There is but one cure for the nations – the leaves of the tree. There grows no healing herb but the one plant of renown.”

THOUGHT GOING FORWARD

Interestingly, it is our cities – where the vast numbers of people live, work, and play that are mired in sin, darkness and confusion. Indeed, Satan loves and plays the numbers… he gathers them into his own city storehouses where the night lights shine brightly, raucous music plays, and drugs pervade the masses. Interestingly, it is the nations who are caught up in its new god of nature – a focus on climate which is being served to also control the masses. Indeed, Satan plays the numbers but his days are numbered. There is healing in the air.  

IN TRIBUTE TO SPURGEON’S LOVE OF SHORT RYHMES

Expressed in nature Christ is that tree
of life, of healing as intended to be.
But Adam determined of another he’d eat,
a curse unto death, a death He’d defeat.
