Page 38 - The Remnant Bride
P. 38
to you like the words of a sealed book, which when they give it to the one who is
literate, saying, "Please read this," he will say, "I cannot, for it is sealed." Then the
book will be given to the one who is illiterate, saying, "Please read this." And he will
say, "I cannot read." Then Yahweh said, "Because this people draw near with their
words and honor Me with their lip service, but they remove their hearts far from me,
and their reverence for me consists of tradition learned by rote. Therefore behold,
I will once again deal marvelously with this people, wondrously marvelous; and the
wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the discernment of their discerning men
shall be concealed."
Note that here God speaks of pouring over the people a spirit of DEEP SLEEP. It was
a deep sleep that God brought upon Adam before He removed the remnant from his body
to form a bride. This deep sleep is further defined in this passage as: shutting the eyes of the
prophets; covering the heads of the seers; sealing up the vision; cutting off their wisdom
and discernment. Isn’t this a perfect parallel to Paul’s words of God sending delusion to
those who did not love the truth?
So we see that before the return of the Lord to appear in glory in His saints that a deep
sleep will once more come from the Lord upon the body. This does not indicate that the
body will just be lying around doing nothing, for many will be prophesying, casting out
demons, and performing miracles, but they will be doing so of their own volition for the
man of lawlessness will take his seat in the temple made of living stones. At this time a
breach will be made in the body of Christ as is being manifested by God’s words to “come
out of her My people.”” God will then fashion a Bride for His Son from this remnant portion
removed from the body. This is a marvelous thing. Just as Eve was separated from the
sleeping body of Adam, so is the Bride of the Last Adam being separated from His sleeping
body. She will then be clothed with glory. A deep sleep was brought upon both bodies by
God. Just as God took that remnant portion of Adam’s body and formed it into woman, so
God will take the remnant removed from the body of Christ and form a Bride. This Bride
of Christ will have a glorified body. She will be clothed with the glory of Christ.
