Hear another Parable: A certain man asked “The Overcomer” (that is, the Biblical Abraham/the 3rd Temple of God): How does God Work? And “The Overcomer” replied, God works with Prophecies. In other words, God acts within the ambit of His revealed Words. “No Prophecy, No Work”. Recall the Prophecy of God through Isaiah: “Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel” (Isaiah 7:14). And Abraham continued, saying:
Did God fulfill that Prophecy? Yes, He did. “But while Joseph thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” So all this was done that it MIGHT BE FULFILLED WHICH WAS SPOKEN BY THE LORD THROUGH THE PROPHET, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus.” Matthew 1:20-25. This is how God worked with the Words of Prophets right from the beginning; He does not act unless it was foretold. Now hear this Prophecy of the Glorified Jesus through John:
“He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son” (Revelation 21:7 NKJV). This Prophecy is fulfilled today. While Jesus Christ as the Son of God Exemplified, fulfilled the Prophecy of the “virgin birth” (that is, Jesus coming to earth as a newborn Baby through the womb of a woman who had not known a man), “The Overcomer” on the other hand, fulfilled the Prophecy of “the inheritance of all things” as a grown-up man (that is, the Son of God Established at adulthood).
