The Regeneration Vs. Restoration of All Things:
1 The word restoration means to put back in to the original state – Acts 3:19-21. The time like it was in the beginning in the Garden of Eden.
2 What does regeneration mean…? A few other words to describe the word are: re-establish, reorganize, reassemble. in the sense of rejuvenate.
3 Regeneration is a form of upgrade from restoration. 4 If restoration means “to make something well again,” regeneration, for some authors, means “to make it better” than a (supposed) origin condition.
5 Regeneration in humans is the regrowth of lost tissues or organs in response to injury. 6 This is in contrast to wound healing, or partial regeneration, which involves closing up the injury site with some gradation of scar tissue. 7 Regeneration refers to a type of healing in which new growth completely restores portions of damaged tissue to their normal state. 8 The Tree of Life in Revelation 22 mentions the leaves for the healing of the nations must have something to do with the regeneration of creation.
9 Spiritually, it means that God brings a person to new life (that they are “born again”) from a previous state of separation from God and subjection to the decay of death (Ephesians 2:5). Thus, in Lutheran and Roman Catholic theology, it generally means that which takes place during baptism.
Titus 3:5not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
Hebrews 8:6But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises. 7For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
10 Jesus spoke of the regeneration as in the Age to Come which matches up with:
Acts 3:21 21whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.
Matthew 19:28So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Joel 2:3 A fire devours before them,
And behind them a flame burns;
The land is like the Garden of Eden before them,
And behind them a desolate wilderness;
Surely nothing shall escape them.
11 The Holy Convocation Day of First Fruits was on the day after the weekly Sabbath so it was always on a Sunday. 12 It was also on the eighth day and eight means new beginnings. Friday was a preparation day for the Sabbath Day and Sunday started with a weekly Jubilee.
13 Fifty days after the Holy Convocation Day of First Fruits the Feast of Pentecost began. Pentecost was a Jubilee that came about once a year.
14 The Holy Convocation Day of Atonement was a yearly Jubilee where the sins of Israel as a nation were blotted out and put out of remembrance. 15 Every seven years there would be a whole year of rest. 16 Then after Seven X Seven years was the 50th year of Jubilee with a complete regeneration and restoration of all things. 17 The Feast of Tabernacles which soon followed after the Day of Atonement was an example of restored fellowship with God and others which began in a Garden of Eden experience.
18 Romans 8:21 is the most important scripture in the Bible to me and it should be to you to, it says: because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 19 This sums up all what Jesus died for according to what Paul said in verse: 24 For we were saved in this hope.
20 It speaks of the creation waiting to be delivered from the bondage of corruption. 21 Not some of creation or part of it like for Israel only or the Church only or for humans only. 22 God has always had a worldview of the regeneration and restoration of all things so that we could have a Garden of Eden style of life before Adam sinned with the second Adam as our Spiritual Everlasting Father who is Jesus Christ.
23 Yet we rarely hear anyone mention this very important thing. 24 I think most of the futuristic have a better idea of what it means than Preterist. 25 At least for the futurist they’re expecting something far greater than what the times of what the first century Church had. 26 Yet for most Preterist life has carried on the same except without the Old Covenant around.
27 In many ways the futurist sees God as being far greater than what Preterist have God to be. 28 The only thing that the futurist has wrong is that they expect no more physical death and pain as well as a few other things like no possibility for anyone to sin.
29 We all need to re-evaluate what is meant by all things being made new could mean.
30 In Romans 8:22 Pauls said: For we know that the whole creation groans and labours with birth pangs together until now. 31 We know that Paul was not talking about the first fruits who had the Spirit in this verse because in the next verse he said: 23 Not only that, but we also who have the first-fruits of the Spirit.
32 So now that we know the creation was in fact the whole creation and not just part of it, we can see that the creation was like a woman who was going to give birth to a new creation. 33 The way to help us see this is with the new believers in Christ becoming born again. 34 Once that happened they were considered by God as a new creation and all things were made new for them individually. 35 But here in Romans 8:21-22 we see the whole creation was going to become born again, and all things made new as Revelation 21:5 says.
36 How this happened in AD70 the new creation was not re-created in a physical sense, but in a Spiritual way similar to someone being born again. 37 From that point on God looks at the new creation, though still physically the same, he see it in a new way like what happened to the new born believer in Christ. 38 They have Christ righteousness imputed unto them and God see them as if seeing His Son. 39 The New Creation began with a new start in life as if it never was part of the old creation, but because there was no physical change with a literal destruction of the universe people failed to see it. 40 However in God’s mind He has always seen it this way since the Old Covenant Age ended in AD70. 41 It does not matter what people think or believe, all that matters is what God has done with His newly created Heaven and Earth that its foundation is with the New Covenant. 42 God works around our ignorance and still loves us but we have a responsibility to listen to Him and hear what His Spirit is saying and very few can do that. 43 There are many obstacles that can get in the way and many of those things are by hearing what other people have to say either in person or in what they may write. 44 Denominational barriers and beliefs can be a stronghold on someones mind, so as to making it impossible for them to hear what the Spirit is saying.
45 If we can understand what the born again experience is for the new believer in Christ then we can see that as a forerunner for the whole creation where God mades all things new.
The Adoption the Whole Creation was Waiting for:
46 There was one thing the first century Church did not have yet as believers in Christ and having all things made new and that was their Redemptive body which was what they were waiting for. 47 Romans 8:23 says they were waiting for the adoption and the redemption of their body but the adoption was not for themselves because they had already been adopted.
Romans 8:23 Not only that, but we also who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.
48 Both of these things need re-evaluating because the first century Church were already adopted as children of God, but the rest of creation was still waiting eagerly for their adoption; As well as the first century Church was also waiting for the world to be adopted. 49 Special note here that when the whole creation got adopted it does not mean they all go to heaven and are saved. 50 All that means is that Jesus Christ adopted mankind from the natural bloodline from Adam and became the Spiritual Everlasting Father to all of mankind through the blood He shed for the world. 51 Back in Genesis 6 God destroyed the Sons of God in the great flood because of the cross breeding with the Nephilim, and they took many wives, were violent, but God saved Noah and his family because Noah knew God.
52 Adam not longer was the father of mankind after the New Creation began in AD70 with all things new. 53 That also means all those who were born after AD70 did not need to be adopted. 54 So we all started out in life in a similar way that Adam did when he was created and before Adam sinned therefore no one was born under Adam’s sin after AD70.
Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned.
55 Complete personal salvation and full redemption for the Whole Creation from the Age of Corruption of Adam’s sin and death happened in AD70 when death was cast into the Lake of Fire. 56 The Whole Creation was adopted by Jesus Christ who became the Spiritual Everlasting Father to the world. 57 Everyone born after AD70 are the Spiritual Offspring of the Everlasting Father and the Mother who is the first century first fruits who had the Spirit.
58 We can see that the first century saints were already adopted by faith in Jesus Christ yet they were eagerly waiting for the rest of creation to be adopted when the Grand Ultimate Jubilee came. 59 This gave the Whole Creation a fresh start in life in the regeneration for the New Heaven and Earth under a better Everlasting Covenant without the Old Covenant still vanishing away.
Romans 8:13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”
Galatians 3:25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor 26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 4:5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
60 We begin life filled with the Holy Spirit and are Spiritual alive until we otherwise fall away like the Prodigal Son. 61 Those who were worthy attained immortal life, those not worth would have trampled on the precious blood of Christ. 62 There are so many different factors that come into play here but by the grace and love of God that He has brought mankind to such a place of full redemption but only those found worthy receive immortal life.
63 Many become delusional by thinking that if everyone becomes a child of God means everyone get a free pass into the Kingdom of Heaven but this is not the case. 64 It just means everyone starts life like a child but most become like the Prodigal Son in Luke 15 did before he turned his back on his Father and Spiritually died. 65 The Prodigal Son started life as a family member who was alive and in right standing with his Father. 66 He decided to turn his back on him and left abut eventually came back and repented and his Father said he was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found. 67 Had he not done that he would have never known how much his Father loved him and would have died in his sin and have been separated from him never truly knowing him. 68 Like many people today are subjects for the Lake of Fire because they do not really know God and do not bare the fruits of the Kingdom. 69 So no this is not about Universal Salvation just because the whole Creation was delivered from the
The Redemptive Body the Whole Creation was Waiting for:
70 The other thing that the Whole Creation and the First Fruits who had the Spirit were eagerly waiting for in Romans 8:21-23 was their redemptive Spiritual body that God had in reserve for them for the afterlife.
Romans 8:21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labours with birth pangs together until now. 23 Not only that, but we also who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.
71 All the saints had to look forward to back in the old Age was death in Hades as a disembodied soul until they were resurrected into their Spiritual bodies and it was like a woman groaning for it in child birth. 72 No one has to wait for that now post AD70 though there will be a time at physical death where we will be birthed into our Spiritual body like a transformation of a butterfly coming out of its cocoon. 73 The cocoon would represent our physical body and a butterfly would represent our Spiritual body in the unseen Spiritual realm. 74 Our relationship with God continues on a higher level where we do not sleep in the dust of the Earth waiting for it like they did in Hades. 75 After physical death our Spirit returns to God and carries on in the afterlife right away with a Spiritual body God prepared for us. 76 It is in this hope we are saved and we do not have to be concerned with becoming disembodied souls in Hades waiting for the resurrection like our Futurist brothers and sister are. 77 Yet some how they at the same time believe absent from the body means present with the Lord though they believe that the resurrection has not happened yet which would mean no one is in Heaven yet. 78 Sounds confusing because they do not believe that the resurrection took place, because they were resurrected with a Spiritual body, but they believe the resurrection can only happen with physical bodies being resurrected. 79 No one has to wait anymore for their redemptive body that God had prepared for us as a Spiritual Individual body different and unique from anyone else. 80 Yet at the same time we can enjoy being one with Christ, like He is one with His Father according to John 17.
Romans 8:24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
81 There are a many in the mainline of Full Preterism that believe that the redemptive body that they were waiting for was the collective body of Christ CBV being risen like a loaf of bread instead of a field of individual grains of wheat IBV. 82 However there is one point they avoid and that is, what kind of body will people have in the afterlife. 83 While taking the view that the first century Church was eagerly waiting for the redemption of the body of Christ as if Romans 8:23 was the body of Christ, is overlooking the fact that they already were the body of Christ. 72 There was to be a consummation of being the body of Christ at the marriage of the Lamb but they already were one with Him in the communion of the body of Christ. 84 However the marriage of the Lamb was not the resurrection of the dead like they make it out to be and all the other things they believe in the CBV is just a can of worms that go with it.
John 6:55 For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. 56He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.
1 Corinthians 10:15 I speak as to wise men; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17 For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread.
1 Corinthians 12:4 For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, 5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
1 Corinthians 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
85 Redemption was already there for the First Fruits who had the Spirit but they were still waiting for their redemptive body:
Ephesians 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.
Hebrews 9:12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.
86 Redemption of the body for the afterlife was for the resurrection with a Spiritual body:
1 Corinthians 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. 43 It is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. 44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45 And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
Luke 21:27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
Ephesians 1:13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
Colossians 1:13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
What Does Redemption Mean…?:
87 The first time redemption is mentioned in the Bible it is in Leviticus 25 and deals with 50th Year of Jubilee. 88 Daniel 9:24-27 has a Tenfold Jubilee written all over the timeframe of the 62 weeks every cycle of seven, sevens without counting eighth year as part of the cycle. 89 When you take seven of the Jubilees from the 62 weeks for rebuilding Jerusalem and the Temple that leaves out the actual Jubilee years to that timeframe of 62 Weeks. 90 When we place the remaining 7 missing Weeks as all Jubilee years combined together around the timeframe when Jesus was about doing His father’s work around the age of twelve; add these seven, sevens of years for a total of 49 years of Jubilees we get from AD14 to AD63 for the building of the Spiritual Temple in Heaven of Lively Stones which were the antitype for the 62 Weeks. 91 Then add to those 49 years the last Week of the 70 Weeks which was seven actual years to confirm the New Covenant with the power of the Holy people shattered in AD70 for the Tenfold Grand Ultimate Jubilee. 92 You get the regeneration of all of creation with the reservation of all things made new that all of creation was eagerly waiting for; as well as a redemptive body for the afterlife and to be adopted as Sons of God like Adam was, but in a Spiritual way instead of being created from the dust of the Earth.
93 The word redemption mention in Leviticus 25 speaks of property but reading the whole chapter of Leviticus 25 will give you a better idea of what redemption was about. 94 In this case on Romans 8:23 it is referring to the kind of body Adam would have had if he did not sin before he physically died. 95 Adam would have had a Spiritual body and gone right into Heaven and continued his fellowship with God. 96 Instead Adam returned to the dust of the Earth and became a disembodied soul in Hades who had to wait thousands of years to be resurrected into his Spiritual body that would have been immortal that God had reserved for him at the time of his physical death. 97 Many believe that Adam would have had a physical immoral body for the afterlife if he had not sinned, but I do not believe that is what was intended for us to believe. 98 The ramifications of that and every creature God created or was born would have physical bodies floating around in the Heaven and the Earth would be severely over populated and is beyond reality.
99 Jesus foretold full redemption would come at His coming in a cloud with power and great glory in: Luke 21:27vThen they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
100 The first century saints already had redemption through the blood Jesus shed for them and they were delivered from the power of darkness and conveyed into the kingdom of the Son but there was still more to come. 101 According to Galatians 3:13 they were redeemed from the curse of the law. 102 It is important to realize no one has been under the 613 laws of the Old Covenant for almost 2000 years. 103 Therefore to the amazement of those who do not believe all scriptures written were fulfilled, they twist Luke 21:22 meaning only the days of vengeance and fail to see all scriptures written, therefore not believing Romans 8:18-23 had been fulfilled in AD70.
Galatians 3:12 vYet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”
13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Hebrews 9:15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
Luke 21:22 or these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
104 Flesh and blood can not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, so they had to wait to be resurrected into their Spiritual body, that would have been immortal that God had reserved for them at the time of being changed at the coming of the Lord. 105 They did not have to physical die to get it, all they need was for God to miraculously change them instantly. It was within a twinkling of an eye according to:
1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Colossians 1:13 was a fore taste of what happened to the first century saints that would happen to all of creation that Romans 8:20-22 speaks of.
Colossians 1:13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
Romans 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labours with birth pangs together until now. 23 Not only that, but we also who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. 24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
Conclusion:
106 Determining who the Sons of God were and who they are now has a great effect on how eschatology is to be interpreted. 107 Everything consummates at the fulfillment of Romans 8:18-25 and lines up with the prophecy of Daniel’s timeline of 70 Weeks with a Tenfold Jubilee that was to be the restoration of all things like the Garden of Eden was. 108 The Jubilee demands full redemption and the 70 Weeks of Daniel 9:24-27 has Jubilee written all over it. 109 Jesus said all the things that the Prophets spoke of would be soon be fulfilled within their generation and the signs He spoke of in Matthew 24 and Luke 21 all came to past in AD70. 110 Some say Daniel’s 70 Weeks ended in AD33 with the Gospel going out to the Gentiles in Acts 10. 111 But that does not allow for all the things spoken of in Daniel 9:24-27 to be fulfilled with a full redemption Jubilee for the whole Creation that Romans 8:20-22 spoke of. 112 While the end of the Age in AD70 does allow them to be fulfilled with the power of the Holy people being totally shattered after the Great Tribulation of 3.5 years according to Daniel 12:7; and their Temple being destroyed, which brought the Age to come to begin with the New Heaven and Earth.
113 AD33 does not allow these kinds of fulfillments for Daniel’s 70 Weeks to take place for a confirmation of the New Covenant no matter how hard they try to convince people that those 490 years had to be consistent without a gap of 117 years. 12 If you have ever wondered why was there three segments of 62 Weeks, 7 Weeks and 1 Week instead of just one if the 70 weeks were meant to be sequential you can read my series on The Mystery of Daniel’s 70 Weeks. 114 Romans 8:19 mentions the manifestation of the Sons of God that all of the whole creation was eagerly waiting for to happen, so this topic is very important to get it right. 115 Otherwise mankind will dwell in Outer Darkness not being able to see the truth of how God sees humanity from His perspective and His Redemption Plan fulfilled in a Spiritual reality. 116 We truly have an awesome God who loves us. 117 It’s just that most never see how He does and yet God allows us to reject the truth and suffer the consequences for it with a false expectation that will never come true in a physical realm. 118 For it is in this hope of Romans 8:18-25 that we are saved, not in the hope for total destruction for the planet and all of mankind before a new creation is created.
