mizpeh,
I emphatically disagree that
the CHRIST is
not walking upon the earth today!
The Christ is the abode of God. The more perfect tabernacle [allusion to Hebrews Chap 9] is the body of Christ.
The body has a head; the only begotten Son of God, the first fruits.
The body has many members; we who are joint heirs with the only begotten Son, we are the harvest.
God's church is the body he has built without man's hands. He has provided himself a house!
God's work of creation began with Christ and ends with Christ.
Except a corn of wheat die and fall into the ground it abides alone. But if it die, it brings forth much fruit. The fruit of the seed is the substance of the seed increased. Everything reproduces after its own kind!
The Christ is not only still on the earth, the Christ is increasing! God is supplying the increase. The Christ is the anointed one. The one doing the anointing is the Spirit of God. The ones being anointed are the members of his body....from head to toe, joint heirs, whereby we call, abba Father.
The old tabernacle has been replaced. Behold, all things have become new.
