Page 60 - THE REVELATION OF THE THIRD HEAVEN and THE MEAT OF THE WORD

Understanding by Partaking

The Word, despite being God, has humbled Himself to appear as scripture a
physical book of about 850,000 words in the hands of men (Rev 22:18). This can
mislead men into thinking that they can control the book and the understanding
thereof and be masters of the interpretation when in fact the Word is in control
(Isaiah 29:14-16, 45:9-10, 1 Cor 2:14, Heb 4:12). Furthermore only by the Holy
Ghost working in (Isaiah 28:9-10, 1 Cor 2:14) and interacting with the heart of a
believer (Heb 4:12) can the believer understand the Word otherwise the doctrine is
just human interpretation (Isaiah 28:13). The basic requirement for participation in
developed understanding (Isaiah 28:9, Heb 5:12-14 - ‘strong meat’) is to be born
again (Jer 31:33-34, 1 Cor 2:14, Heb 8:10-11) and this is always the status of those
willing to speak in tongues by faith given of the Holy Ghost (Isaiah 28:11, 1 Cor
14:14-15).

The Word also humbled itself to become flesh (John 1:14) in Jesus Christ, to be
crucified (Phil 2:8) and to become the body and blood of the risen Christ (Mark
14:24, 1 Cor 11:24-25), which is still the Word as God does not change (Mal 3:6,
John 8:58, Rev 22:13), and is humbled for our sakes again today by being the food
and drink that we Christians consume (Isaiah 51:14, 1 Cor 11:21-30, Heb 2:14). As
a mystery the Book-in-the-Spirit in Heaven is infinite in meaning (John 1:1) and
yet of finite words (Rev 22:18-19) exemplifying the contradictory yet unifying
antinomy of God (Rev 19:13), just as Christ the eternal Man is at once finite and
yet infinite in one hypostatic nature and union (1 Tim 2:5).

Discrete and Accurate Nature

The Word is word-for-word an exact document in any and all proper languages
(Gen 11:6-7, Prov 30:5-6, Eccl 3:14, Mat 4:4, Mark 16:15, John 1:1, Rom 10:17-
18, Phil 2:11, Heb 1:1, 1 John 5:7, Rev 1:16-19, 14:6, 15:4, 19:13-16, 22:18-19),
not dialect (Gen 11:1). It is expressed in a rich and complex written language (Mat
4:4, 7, 10, 2 Tim 3:16, Rev 22:18-19).

Where a language is not written-in-the-material the Word still exists,
supernaturally, with the necessarily complex words and in the written form,
unbeknown consciously, in whole or in part, to the conscious minds of the speakers
of that language (2 Tim 3:16). Once written, in the material, in a previously
unwritten language then a language becomes by definition a written language. It is
not surprising and to be expected that many words used may not be in common
