WE HAVE EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSING IN CHRIST

My Paraphrase of Ephesians 1:3-14:

3 Praise Be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Who has Blessed you and I in the Heavenly Realms

WITH EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSING IN CHRIST.

4 WE WERE CHOSEN IN CHRIST,

BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD;

To be Holy and Blameless in His Sight.

5 IN LOVE GOD PREDESTINED YOU AND I

To be Adopted as His sons and daughters,

Through Jesus Christ,

IN ACCORDANCE WITH HIS PLEASURE AND WILL--

6 To the praise of His Glorious Grace,

Which He has Freely given you and I

In the One (Christ) He loves.

7 In Him (Christ), you and I,

Have Redemption through His blood,

The Forgiveness of Sins,

In accordance with the Riches of God's grace

8 THAT HE LAVISHED ON YOU AND I

With All Wisdom and Understanding.

9 And He made know to you and I

THE MYSTERY OF HIS WILL

According to His Good Pleasure,

Which He Purposed in Christ,

To be put into effect

WHEN THE TIMES WILL HAVE REACHED THEIR FULFILLMENT--

[When All the Gentiles, the non-Jews,

Have been brought in to the Kingdom of God at the END Of TIME]

TO BRING ALL THINGS IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH TOGETHER

Under One Head, Even Christ.

[Beginning with the Return of Christ Jesus,

To the Battle of Armageddon

And His Defeat of All the Armies of the World.

He then Establishes His Kingdom on Earth,

In Jerusalem, on Mount Zion,

For a Thousand Years, God's Day of Rest, the Millennium.]

11 In Christ we were also Chosen,

HAVING BEEN PREDESTINED

ACCORDING TO THE PLAN OF CHRIST

WHO WORKS OUR EVERYTHING IN CONFORMITY

WITH THE PURPOSE OF HIS WILL,

12 In order that you and I,

Who have put our Hope in Christ,

Might be for the Praise of His Glory.

13 And you and I were Included In Christ

When we heard the Word of Truth,

The Good News of our Salvation.

Having believed,

YOU AND I WERE MARKED IN CHRIST WITH A SEAL

THE PROMISED HOLY SPIRIT,

Who lives within us,

14 WHO IS A DEPOSIT

GUARANTEEING OUR INHERITANCE

[The Kingdom of God, Heaven, and all its Glory]

(Ephesians 1:3-14)

Until the Redemption of All those

WHO ARE GOD'S POSSESSION--

[When the Last Saint is added In Christ, at the END OF TIME]

To the Praise of His Glory.

(Ephesians 1:1-14)

The Exceeding Greatness and Wonder

Of God's Plan and Purpose

Includes you and I. Hallelujah!

We who have Believed and Obeyed God's Word;

We who love God with All our Heart, Soul, Mind and Strength.

It was All Established before TIME began.

That is why the Events we witness today,

Will Ultimately Conform to that which God has Written,

Exactly according to The Word of God;

AS GOD HAS WRITTEN, SO IT SHALL BE!

Christ Jesus warned us:

Be always on the Watch,

And pray that you will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,

And that you may be able TO STAND before the Son of Man.

(Luke 21:36)

Today, the World is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)

This World in it's Present Form is Passing Away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)

America is being Ground to Powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
