 *NOTE:* J. Sidlow Baxter in his “Explore the Book,” has an interesting and
helpful insight for understanding the 7 city churches of Paul in his first
9 epistles.


 Romans represents the Outer Court of the Tabernacle – Justification by
Faith. 1 & 2 Corinthians represent how the church of Corinth had moral
lapses in relationship to the great standard restored through Martin
Luther. Galatians shows how the churches in the area of modern Turkey
departed doctrinally from the key teaching of this letter, and through the
Judaizers sought to return to the legalism of Jewish standards. Even in the
Old Testament, only Gentiles living in close proximity to Jews were
required to move in this manner, and in the latter part of Acts 15 were
freed by God from even this.


 Baxter saw Ephesians as the high point of church truth in the Bible. It is
rich in pictures and analogies of the relationship of believers – both Jew
and Gentile – to Christ. Philippians is the Holy Spirit through Paul
shoring up lapses in Joy and Unity from this high standard. Colossians
points out doctrinal aberrations from Ephesus, and tendencies to revert to
worship of angels, and departing from God the Father’s true standards for
His Son. Greek cults of that day sought to wean true believers from the way
God sees these things, and God used Paul by the Spirit to seek to return
them to the true Plumbline of truth. Arianism and Jehovah’s Witness cultism
was in existence back then! It is *here* that believers enjoy being in the
Holy Place of God’s Tabernacle and Temple!


 1 & 2 Thessalonians prepare God’s people for the Second Coming of Christ
and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. The early church constantly kept this
truth in view. George Muller in his day did the same, and Mother Basilea
Schlink. Here believers experience the first-fruits of Bridal-Love with
Christ. Here one enters the riven veil, and experiences divine relationship
in the Holy of Holies.


 There is one other key thought that emerges clearly from this passage –
“The One New Man.” Reuven Doron has written a book in the early 1990’s with
this title. By all means do a “Google-Search” and order it. It is clear,
warm and living. The recent writings of Dr. Daniel Juster also clearly
bring out this truth of Jew and Gentile in one body, the Church. Mike
Bickle has partnered with Juster to give a living example of this truth.


 The Church has a marvelous privilege and responsibility of praying the
Messianic Jewish Movement into the 5-fold ministry and the other 11
Embryonic Revival Principles restored in 1948 in Northern Canada. Next year
– 2008 – is the 60th Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel as a nation, and
God’s Visitation on February 11th at North Battleford, Saskatchewan. The
Rev. Dr. John Roddam of Seattle, and Stuart Spani of North Vancouver BC
have produced a 3 DVD package of 10 parts featuring Marie and myself as the
last living elder of the 1948 July Camp Meeting of that time. Order through
