PREFACE
The chapters of this
book are made up from a series of messages written and published in
booklet form in the early days of this writing ministry.
Searching for some sound
scriptural key by which every revelation could be measured and tested, I
discovered that the life of Jesus in His humanity here on earth was a
divine pattern for the perfect end-time Body of Christ.
In quoting God's command to
Moses in Exodus 25:40, it says in Hebrews 8:5: "See, saith He, that
thou make all things according to the pattern showed to thee in the
mount". Moses, while on the mount and in the presence of God, was
introduced to the pattern of the tabernacle planned and designed by God
Himself. Moses was instructedto return to the people and reproduce in
physical, visible form a replica of that which he had seen.
So in these last days, men
are being caught up in the Spirit to the "mount of God", and
in His divine presence they are seeing the glorious pattern of God's
Son. Thi s " Mose s Company" of Overcomers are instructed to
reproduce, by the power of the Spirit, this glorious life of the Son on
this earth, in mortal bodies, in physical, visible form for all the
world to see. With these "Sons of God" being conformed to the
image of Jesus Christ, He then will truly be the firstborn of many
brethren.
These first six messages are
only an introduction to this pattern. Every thing about His life, in His
humanity, applies to His Body. What He was to the Father, we are to Him.
His image, His glory, His witness, and much more. Unless you go on into
the Gospels and discover the many glorious truths pertaining to the Body
of Christ in its perfection, then you are missing the purpose of the
messages of this book. The tabernacle was the "type", Jesus
was the "prototype" (meaning the original hand made model of
the intended construction, having everything in it that the finished
product would have), the early church was the "first-fruits"
or "earnest", while the perfected glorious church of the
end-time (both in heaven and on earth, and including those who obtained
a good report through faith) is the "anti-type" or finished
product.
Any revelation which does not
fit into the pattern of the life of Jesus, can be safely discarded. Side
issues, tangents, strange doctrines, heresies, and traditional fairy
tales cannot measure up or fit into the purpose of God for His Son and
His many-membered Body. So we present to you, for your safety on this
journey to Sonship, JESUS the Pattern Son.
