The great mystery is the association, more factually, the marriage of Christ and His church. An event which is scheduled for the end of the age. The Bride, the body of Christ, is constituted of those who are living at that time and have met all the divine requirements for a Bride of such high stature. She is the mystical body of Christ, which is scattered all over the face of the earth. She is unified in Christ. Her many members form one body. They are joined together into a unit, and will work with and contribute strength and ability to function one to another. While united into one, they do not all have the same duty. Rom. 12:4-5.
Her ability to function as a unit is by the power of the Spirit. There is only one body. It is not an organization but an organism. A living, vital, Spirit led group of people, within the organized church of today which will heed the call of the Spirit and will follow His instructions. It hurts to say this because I detest a split, a swarm or a separation among the brethren, whether it be in a local church or an organization. However there is a moment of choice coming soon, where each and every member of the church must decide just whom and what they will follow. The call of the Word is to come out, separate yourselves from the unclean and the impure and the Lord will receive you. 2 Cor. 6:17.
Religious idols are spoiling true worship in today’s church. There is a move to mix the church with old testament practices by bringing in articles and practices portraying those found in the tabernacle and temple. All those things were but shadows of the real which was to come. Now, by the Spirit we visit the true temple and tabernacle and worship in the Spirit the living Lord, not an idol, or a building or some other object. It is no longer a building which we visit in order to worship before Him, but now, we are the temple, He dwells with His Bride and is in her. He will walk in her and they shall be the people of the most high. 2 Cor. 6:16.
What is the chaff to the wheat? Saith the LORD. Jer. 23:28c The chaff is vital to the wheat until winnowing time. Then there is a great separation made. The kernel of grain is gathered into the granary and a values is placed on it. The chaff is burned and destroyed. It has lost its value. There is a sifting time very near and there will be drastic changes made in the lives of those who serve the Lord. There will be no chaff to be found in the Bride.
