Page 44 - THE REVELATION OF THE THIRD HEAVEN and THE MEAT OF THE WORD

This is fundamental to understanding the Word and its truths which are often only
describeable in our terms by a seeming dual, logical contradiction or
incompatibility of timing. These are fulfilled by holy antinomy. There are a
number of key dualities:

First & Second Covenant

The first is the Law and the second is the escape from the Law (Jer 31: 32-33) as
God does not change (Mal 3:6) these are in fact, as a mystery, the same God (Rev
22:13). Hence the, single, Tree of Life as a mystery appears twice on either side of
the river in the second Creation (Rev 22:2) showing us that the Tree of Knowledge
or the Law has remained but been subsumed by and become the Tree of Life
through the fulfilment of Christ (Rev 22:2). God and Christ are the Law and the
fulfilled Law, God as a Man, the Man Jesus Christ, was also the Unfulfilled Law
(Heb 4:15). As Man, Christ, Jesus, that is God, was under the Law (Heb 4:15) and
He was the Unfulfilled Law (Heb 4:15) and is its fulfilment (Acts 3:18, Rom 8:4).
The Tree of Life, Jesus (Rev 2:7) was crucified upon the Tree of the Law or the
curse (Gal 3:13), the tree of knowledge (Gen 2:17), just as the Law, the Tree of
knowledge, also Jesus, was crucified upon the Tree of Life (Mat 22:40). Jesus
repeatedly sinned under the Law (Ex 20:13 vs Mat 26:17-18, Mark 11:21,
Luke 5:4-6, Rom 12:14 vs Mark 11:21, Ex 20:10 vs Mark 2:23-26) but was
righteous by means of his fulfillment (grace) of the Law so yet was, in a
mystery of antinomy, without sin (Heb 4:15). He was also righteous for the
same reason despite sinning the sin of becoming under the Law in the first
place, done for our sakes but still a sin (Rom 3:19-21, 4:15).

Primary & Secondary Will of God

A secondary will of God is often enacted indirectly. The Law being a secondary
will was given by the disposition of angels (Acts 7:53) and by Moses (John 7:19),
that is indirectly from God. Secondary wills require a prior abomination to God,
despite being, in a mystery, fully His will, in that they involve the primary sin that
precedes them (Isaiah 1:13). The Law is entered into by rebellion against God
(Gen 2:17, 3:3-6, Psalm 94:20 ‘a law’, 105:10 ‘a law’, Rom 3:20) and then
becomes the perfect process that leads by Christ to the escape from it (Rom 10:4)
unto salvation (Psalm 19:7, Gal 3:24). The Law is a Law (Gen 2:17, Psalm
105:10, 119:33-34) and a fruit (Gen 2:17).

God’s will is always absolutely His will but if His primary will is not chosen by his
creations then sometimes He allows a secondary will to take effect. This is no less
