Today,
reply is to a question on divine delay and the amount of time mankind
has been waiting for GOD to complete the plan of salvation. As
sinners who lack the imparted substance from GOD that grants us new
life in Christ Jesus we are unable to meet divine demands such as
those for atonement, commitment, faith, forgiveness, repentance,
unselfish service, and speaking the truth in love. All who continue
under the influence of academic studies, material objects, politics,
and secular knowledge
will also continue to regard the operation of GOD as simple, and no
different than the way men take action to bring about change, or
maintain a status quo. Properly understood, divinity is completing
multiple operations to eliminate sin, fulfill sacred judgment,
restore the dominion of mankind over the earth, transform
humanity to exist as immortal, and to
configure the earth as the residence for both divinity and mankind.
It is written: Revelation 21: 1-4, King James Version (KJV): 1 And
I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the
first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I
John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of
heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a
great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is
with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people,
and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God
shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more
pain: for the former things are passed away. A fighter in the

Why
does God have to wait so to bring us to heaven?
Cmon
he made that promise about 2000 years ago... For how much longer will
he wait? Aren't things bad enough already? They have been bad enough
for centuries now. Maybe he really is sadistic after all?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: For they that are after the flesh do mind the things
of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the
Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be
spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind
is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of
God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh
cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit,
if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not
the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. (Romans 8: 5-9, KJV)

“ringostarr”,
it’s not rocket science, rather
it’s that we are dealing with
divine process and sacred substance. While the present process of
divinity expresses judgment, there also are commitment and
preservation. Establishment of a permanent relationship for mankind
with immortal, incorruptible, invisible divinity that would permit
humanity to exist having their own deposits of divine process and
substance can not be created relying only on the finite tools of
human emotions, intellect, logic, and rocket science. The frameworks
of time and space must be transcended allowing operations of sacred
law, divine prerogative, eternal purpose, and the sovereign will of
GOD. Inseparable aspects of the divine fullness (we also say,
divinity; the Godhead; the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit) must
exchange and interact unrestricted by the fixed patterns and
immutable regulation of mechanical process and natural law. Simply
identifying the many points of damage caused by the transgression of
Adam to the full divine Creation that continue to require correction
and restoration is no simple task that may be completed in days.
Rightly understood, there must be eons. Multiple examinations of the
details that appear within the divine law must occur, and there must
be specific responses to the facets of Incarnation. Even so,
consider again the following that uses language from the Bible, and a
selection from the music ministry of John Michael Talbot:
(1.)
John 3: 6-8, King James Version (KJV): 6 That which is born of the
flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind
bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but
canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every
one that is born of the Spirit.
(2.)
John 1: 11-14, KJV: 11 He came unto his own, and his own received
him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to
become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of
the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and
dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only
begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
(3.)
2nd Peter 3: 2-9, KJV: 2 That ye may be mindful of the
words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the
commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: 3 Knowing
this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking
after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his
coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as
they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this they
willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were
of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water,
perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the
same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of
judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 8 But, beloved, be not
ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a
thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not
slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is
longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but
that all should come to repentance.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, (4.)

trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your
faith.
