Most people believe that all Scripture has equal relevance. Some see a difference between the  Old Testament and the New Testament. Some presume the Gospels to be part of the Old Testament for the blood was not yet shed, but it was Christ who said that “upon Me you shall see the angels of God ascending and descending upon”  equating himself with Jacob’s Ladder at Bethel which means the house of God being the Kingdom of God.  Christ being the Word of God being also in human form bringing with Him the Kingdom of God in God from. This is the Word that all revelation travels upon and it is Him in word form absorbed by us that are “the keys to the Kingdom.”
When Paul was stuck by a blinding light from heaven he was told “‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. Rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you. Here it is shown that Christ’s revelations and comings are progressive and continual and not 1st and 2nd comings.
So here is the truth we must recognize, that all Scripture is not equal. There are various stages in various phases which is why it’s like angels on a ladder. Like Paul who strived to lay a hold of godliness also saying “to the degree that you have attained so walk ye in it”.
And Christ who said that John the baptist was the spirit of Elijah if you are able to receive it. Showing us God’s things are not dispensed by time, but by wether you are able to accept it or not.
So this all makes sense so far but how does this affect our walk? Well if we see all Scripture as equal relevance, we may miss the order in which we climb up the ladder which is a metaphor for us growing up into Him who is the head, into the full stature of the Son of God and a Co-heir with Christ. It is He who said “follow me that where I am you may be also” who also says if you serve Him you do what he says. That’s what his servants do, they follows him that where he is he may be also. This is our journey and pilgrimage.
So we have the blessedness of the anatomy of God in the Scriptures before us in varying degrees in books to be consumed by our understanding for our individual transfiguration. The top of most of these books are the writings of John. He specifically addresses the “overcomer”. But it is Paul who through his various letters is seen in degrees and in different stages as he strives to attain what John describes.
.
  In 1st Corinthians 15 Paul says that Christ must reign till he puts all enemies under his feet and then God will be all in all but then in Ephesians he says that has already happened saying that Christ came for God to be all in all, that “all things have been put under His feet” and His body the eklisia, fill everything every where.
  In Paul’s own admission in Ephesians 3.3 this was a new revelation. He had not yet attained in strove do attain why Christ laid hold of him, indicating that something was attainable “to the fullness of the stature of Christ and a son, or replica of God. And that had nothing to do with a rapture or an end time scenario. That there was something he could attain in Christ, even as he said in Ephesians that we are given apostles and prophets till we all come to a full status to a full measure in the image of Christ. And it is the gospel that does all this and not after we die or a 2nd coming.
 It is from the book of Romans that has the importance of conveying to the born-again mind that the resurrection is a spiritual thing and it is a done deal.  Paul then on the other hand gets to the concept of creation and still sees the need for redemption saying that the whole earth groans and travails waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God.
 To many and maybe even to Paul where he was at in his stages, this is seen as some kind of event that happens at a second coming and if that’s the case then Jesus Christ is not yet the savior of the world and must come again as though the works were not finished and there are very many who hold on to that view do you?
  So to those who hold on to the view that all Scripture has equal relevance to them they generally use lesser scriptures to negate more important ones and deny the very access to the kingdom of God that they are entitled to. Did not the Christ say that he had given us the keys to the kingdom?  That it is  good the father’s good pleasure to grant you access to the Kingdom, that the kingdom of God is at hand? And not still being made to appear for another Jesus coming to save planet earth?
  1 John 4.14 we have seen and testify that God has sent His Son as savior of the world.
  So the one who says “come up hither” in Revelation 4, to those who suppose that to mean a rapture, is the same one who said in John 15 “arise let us go up from here” it is He who says these things over and over in parabolic form for us to arise in spirit and in truth to the very place that He is. This is called the kingdom of God and this is why the kingdom of God is always at hand and not a one time public offering called “the second coming” a Jesus to establish himself on planet Earth as a soon coming king. Wasn’t He born king?
  So the new man is not a one time event called a Rapture but in degrees of revelations as we put on Christ each in their own order happening ” in the twinkling of an eye” unnoticeable to human perceptions, till we all, each individually arise to the full stature of the Son of God like Christ as we put on the invisible attributes of God “seen in the face of Jesus Christ “.
Amen. So be it.
