So again all roads have led me to the Ephesians 5 great mystery. This chapter and concept in scripture has come in hard from the first day I saw it. Understanding it in its fullness has not only remained important to me, but has indeed intensified over my journey in Christ. It is, as I see it, a pivotal part of scripture that is a foundation of truly understanding the deeper meaning of scripture & my ever present “where doth the twain meet” question. I have said previously how I often marvel at how bodies of work I have previously worked on come back to bear fruit months, sometimes even years later & how these bodies of work complement what I'm working on in the now, & seemingly they all connect to this great mystery. So recently I had this massive revelation that a biblical idol is the carnal man's reality that he has formed, framed, sculpted for himself as he chips away at building that reality day in, day out. I've also recently seen that a biblical city is a joint reality, made up of many different idols. Religion I see as a city, cheering for a football team could be another, anything that binds many different belief systems together in harmonious unison. The 2 “great” cities being the carnal Babylon & spiritual Jerusalem. Be we in the body of Christ no longer serve our idol, our first carnal unclean demonic spirit & reality. No, we now serve faith, our new reality, he being the Holy Spirit of God dwelling within us, the man and husband of our house. Our lord, who the woman must obey & revere. So mankind either serve self, their idol or we serve Christ. If we serve self, we are a part of the unrepentant unwashed heathen who now use their bodies to make up a member of the body of the harlot. The body of Christ use our bodies to make up a member of the body Christ. This now in turn has enabled me to see that by we serving one another, we are indeed honouring our father and mother, they being God and one another.
