"Progressive Redemption"?

[Mpossoff]

Hi all as I am doing the study on the TaNaK it seems like I'm beginning to know more about Messiah.

I put progressive redemtion in quotes because I want to emphasize that I'm not putting a name attached to it.

It's like looking at the "big picture" from beginning to end. From the front cover to the end.

In Genesis "we got kicked out" of the garden because of our disobedience BUT G-d promised us a Redeemer.

I'm beginning to realize that real study you have to start from the beginning and not start from the end.

Now this study is sort of a "general" introduction to the TaNaK as it is giving me an understanding and I praise Him that I'm not blinded to the Truth.

I'm also beginning to see that G-d's Words are, how can I say it?, sort of progressive from the beginning and it builds up with progression. If I'm making sense.

I don't know if I'm on the right track or not but it seems like I'm beginning to see and realize that Messiah and His sacrifice "allows" us to be able to dwell and be in His presense.

Why? Because like I said the "progression" from being kicked out of the Garden and not being able to dwell and be in His presense to Him wanting to dwell with us. He says build me a sanctuary so I can dwell with you.

But we can't. Hmmmm

We can't dwell with Him like we did in the Garden.

Just wanted to post that this is where I'm at.

That one day we will dwell with Him as it was before we disobeyed. That we'll be able to touch Him and see Him face to face!

Now I'm not at the complete understanding what happens when we die. Are we still able to dwell with Him?

I do know that He will be bringing His kingdom back like Sinai.

This is where I'm at, sort of like a blog type post if you will.

Shalom Marc,

I don't think when The Father restores all things that everything will be exactly the same. For example, I don't think we will all be running around without clothes or only eating veggies as the SDA Church would have us believe. But, I do believe that Adonai is redeeming His people cumulatively in steps. The following is a rough outline of how I view this. First, we are redeemed individually through leading us to His Son (getting out of Egypt), then we are redeemed as a people group from our enemies as the people of Yisrael (along with the peoples joined to her) enter the Promised Land, and then the redemption of Creation (Earth ect.) and our bodies (the flesh) at which time we will dwell personally with Adonai.

In regards to what happens to us when we die...That is a good question. Whatever happens, I believe the following is true,

"Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, while we are at home in the body, we are absent from Adonai: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with Adonai."
- 2Cr 5:6-8

Shalom achi,
