Joel 217: The _____ Are Mine! Who? And a description of New Jerusalem... with animals!

We’re into The Mystery of The Will Of The Father... part 2. We’ll deal with God’s will for the animals and end that discussion, and hopefully move on to the Will of The Father for humanity. Why does Christ describe Himself as an animal? He is the Lamb of God. And He was slain before time... can you imagine no time? What is a perfect gift? What would be a shifting shadow to Him? Would He give us an existence that would expire? What about the animals? He says, “The animals are mine.” Why would He say that? He says it twice. And He says this because we obviously are idiots, and like the Calvinists and their belief that animals will not be resurrected. Romans 5:14 becomes crucial to the Will of The Father. What is this good and perfect gift that the Father is giving? Salvation unto eternal life. Genesis 3:22... follow the “Behold” and what this is saying. Some will teach that we are given the spirit of God but the Angels and the animals are somehow excluded.

We get into The Mystery of Godliness. And we get into a description of the Holy Spirit.

Back to dealing with animals. Our pastor gives irrefutable proof from scripture that animals have a spirit/soul and will be resurrected. God rejoices over the animals. He is taking them to give them peace and life. There’s one purpose and three processes. You’ll have to listen for the answer to how that is and what it’s referring to, but here’s a hint... There are three realms. How do these three fit together?

The discussion continues, and it gets really good. Here’s another hint... New Jerusalem. So get ready with a notepad and open your TextBook. Then just press play.
