Continuing from our text and with the earlier understanding of the introduction of the time element between the timeless zones before the restoration of the world in Genesis 1:2 as described by Jeremiah 4:23-26 on one end and Revelation 21:1, 23-27 on the other end, we ought to wonder for what reason the Eternal God would do this?

We only need to go back to the accounts given in Isaiah 14:12-17 and Ezekiel 28:3-19 (GNT) and find that single word that was the contention between God and Satan! The word is INDEPENDENCE! Satan would not be subject to God and wanted independence, the same spirit that characterise the Laodicea church age (Rev. 3:16)!

In His infinite wisdom HE introduced the time element during which interregnum we are in a world designed to prove us the redeemed saints, and mature us fit for the promised inheritance!

Doctrinaires have struggled over and postulated the matter of trinity—God the Father, God the son and God the Holy, a notion that came only into view in the Inter Testament and New Testament—unable to see a divine arrangement that was intended to teach the redeemed creation that their only way to the heart of God is by way of DEPENDENCE upon Him!

Spoken to clearly in Psalm 2:7; 2 Samuel 7:14, Hebrews 1:5 and Hebrews 5:5 and introduced directly to the apostles of the Lamb as the only acceptable basis of relationship in Luke 11:2!

I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Psalm 2:7

I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men. 2 Samuel 7:14

For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? Hebrews 1:5

So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, today have I begotten thee. Hebrews 5:5

And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Luke 11:2

Affirmatively we say again our time, this interregnum has only one purpose to have the world test, prove the redeemed of the Lord and mature them fit for the promised inheritance, just as He did with them in the wilderness (Deuteronomy 8:2-5). Think on these things beloved. Shalom.
