In Due Time
by Ayo Fabiyi
Posted March 2, 2010
The Lord brought to my remembrance an explanation of Gal 4:1-4 to me, with the emphasis being on the time appointed of the Father.
Gal 4:2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
In a recent bible study in Revelation, the depth of the meaning of these verses harmonizes perfectly with another verse which I regard gives the majority of Scripture its full truth and the fulfillment of the Word of God.
Rom 4:17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
Now, while flipping the TV channels to keep a left eye on what is going on with Babylon and the 'latest revelation' they have of the Lord, several times it was said (I am paraphrasing) 'Jesus Christ died for the Sins of the whole world and is raised from the dead, and he has taken away all our sins, and now when God looks at us Christians, he sees the righteousness of his Son Jesus, and has forgiven us all of our sin'....blah, blah, blah! This obviously sounds very scriptural. In times past I myself would have believed the minister saying all this. But I just knew there was a lot more to this than face value.
While studying more about sin recently, two verses came to me which I've been staring at for weeks now.
Rom 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly...
Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Due to the carnal undiscerning mind, I had always looked at those verses and took it in a HISTORICAL LIGHT, a past event in which some man called Jesus Christ was hung upon a cross and then claimed he died for my sins and the sins of the whole world some thousands of years ago. But that frame of thought just does not fit in; it does not harmonize with the LIVING WORD in my mind any longer. I kept staring at those two verses above for weeks, then when I read Rom 4:17, it began to make PERFECT SENSE, TRUE HARMONY, BECAUSE I took out the word "IN DUE TIME" from Rom 5:6 and read it without that phrase.
Rom 5:6 For when we were yet without strength,[ ]Christ died for the ungodly...
My constantly renewing mind began to shout "The "DUE TIME" IS NOT TWO THOUSAND YEARS plus AGO!!!!! THE UNGODLY OF WHOM PAUL IS TALKING IS NOT THOSE OF TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO (though in their "due time" it will include them!)
This "due time" can only be;Gal 4:2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
This "due time" in which Christ dies for the ungodly, for US (Rom 5:8) can only be AFTER we become sinners, become ungodly, after SIN/ungodliness has been imputed upon us, then a certain order begins to be fulfilled in its "DUE TIME"...
1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, [=SIN IMPUTED TO ALL IN ADAM] even so in Christ shall all be made alive.[=RIGHTEOUSNESS IMPUTED UPON ALL]
1Co 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
This "due time" is further witnessed by what apostle Paul revealed to us of the arrangements of WHEN in God's plan Jesus Christ will be dying FOR the sins of the WHOLE WORLD.
At this present time, ''Jesus Christ died for the Sins of the whole world and is raised from the dead, and he has taken away all our sins and now when God looks at us Christians, he sees the righteousness of his Son Jesus, and has forgiven us all of our sins" according to Babylonian doctrines is talking of NOTHING but a non-existent event, a YET to be fulfilled event that is just speaking of this truth;
Rom 4:17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. [KJV]
Rom 4:17 [NASB Version] (as it is written, "A FATHER OF MANY NATIONS HAVE I MADE YOU") in the presence of Him whom he believed, even God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist.
Rom 4:17 [AMPLIFIED VERSION] As it is written, I have made you the father of many nations. [He was appointed our father] in the sight of God in Whom he believed, Who gives life to the dead and speaks of the nonexistent things that [He has foretold and promised] as if they [already] existed.
The thing which God, THE WORD OF GOD, has foretold and promised is that IN CHRIST SHALL ALL MEN BE MADE ALIVE, but Jesus Christ dies for ALL MEN "in due time".
What is so often forgotten by all is that Jesus Christ did not die just ACCORDING TO HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS, but Jesus Christ dies for the sins of ALL "But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming."
AT THIS PRESENT TIME, the depth of the meaning of these word of the Lord is revealed;
Joh 8:21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
Joh 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
The 'world' includes the uncalled who are ALL STILL "DEAD IN THEIR SINS". But some man will say, "Did not the Man Jesus Christ in the day his flesh died upon the cross of Calvary some 2000 yrs ago die for the sins of the whole World"? The answer is historically, YES, but the Scripture declares it was all "according to SCRIPTURE".
1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1Co 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
The whole church world takes the above verse to mean "according to HISTORY", a past event, even so do ALL of us at our time in Babylon. But apostle Paul, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God, also wrote this verse previously;
Rom 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly...
Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Paul, in the Spirit, confirmed the very meaning of "according to the scriptures", which he himself also received;
1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, [by and of whom; Paul?]
Gal 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.[HISTORY and past historical death of Christ etc., etc.]
Gal 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Paul revealed to US the very meaning of "how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1Co 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
It constitutes BELIEVING THIS VERY DOCTRINE which only few have spiritual eyes to see and ears to hear it and a new heart to understand it;
1Co 15:22 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, [THE WORLD OF BABYLON and ITS ANGELS PARROTS THIS ALL THE TIME ON THE AIRWAYS] how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
1Co 15:13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
1Co 15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then [is] our preaching vain, and your faith [is] also vain.
1Co 15:15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
1Co 15:16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
1Co 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins.
THERE IT IS!! The 'world' does not believe and neither has that faith of Jesus Christ been given to them to BELIEVE that all the dead in Adam will be raised unto life. The consequence and conclusion of this Babylonian dead, vain faith as Paul says under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit many years after it was told that Jesus Christ PHYSICALLY DIED, (supposedly for the sins of whole PHYSICAL world) is that "ye are yet in your sins."
These verses then takes on a new meaning in its fullness;
Joh 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
1Jn 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
AT THIS PRESENT TIME, JESUS CHRIST - whom we know NOT after the flesh - HAS NOT YET DIED OR TAKEN AWAY OR PROPITIATED FOR THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD. These verses and MANY like it, are calling "those things which be not as though they were"; they are speaking" of the nonexistent things that [He has foretold and promised] as if they [already] existed."
All these wonderful verses of Jesus Christ dying for the sins of the whole world are RATHER of things and events that will be testified unto all in "DUE TIME"…what saith the Lord?
Rom 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly...
1Ti 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
1Ti 2:5 For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
1Ti 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
WOW! The "due time" for the salvation of all men to be testified to THAT MAN is "in his own order:" At this present time, the whole world is still "ye are yet in your sins", still held in death in the flesh, wherein dwelleth all motion of sins and sin reigns, still dead in trespasses;
Eph 2:1 And you [hath he quickened], who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Eph 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Part 2
In "due time"' God begins with a "firstfruit of his creature", who once in times past also walked according to the sins of the whole world (above verse) the elect of God and begins the fulfillment of the taking away/propitiation of the sins of this little flock, true Jews first, whereas the REST OF THE GENTILE WORLD are still dead in their sins because of unbelief;
Joh 8:21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me,[via the Law in Babylon] and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
Joh 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Though MANY are seeking the Lord today and calling his Name at every street and corner, they are yet CARNAL; yet for the Lord to die to the flesh for them IN THEM, although called TO BE saints, yet NOT true saints;
1Co 1:2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
1Co 1:9 So that ye come behind in no gift; [BUT...] waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Though the 'world' has many gifts which pervert their judgments and in so doing blind them [Deu 16:19], they are yet STILL abiding in Death, the Carnal state, wherein SIN REIGNS (Rom 5:21) and the Lord has YET to die for their ungodliness.
Jesus Christ, "IN DUE TIME", will die for the sins of ALL, but that work of the Almighty Father is given to the SON to fulfill at the appointed time of the Father in ONLY a select few at this time; those who are seeking him THE SECOND TIME UNTO SALVATION.
Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Jesus Christ dying for the sins of the whole world is ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE, not History. "In due time" is a WITHIN, inner man, OPERATION OF GOD, "each man in his own order" event. It goes without saying the plan and purpose of God and the whole work was finished from the foundation of the world.
Act 15:16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
Act 15:17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
Act 15:18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
Heb 4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest:[=He has YET to die for 'them' at this present time.] although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
2Ti 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.
JESUS CHRIST, IN DUE TIME WILL DIE FOR AND SAVE ALL MEN. IT HAS ALREADY BEEN SPOKEN, IT WILL COME TO PASS AND BE TESTIFIED TO ALL IN "DUE TIME", BUT TO THE JEWS FIRST AND FOREMOST.
Isa 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,The word is given to the elect of God to fulfill first.
Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, [=die for sins of the whole world according to the wholesome words of Scripture; an inner man process] saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
Isa 46:11Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
Col 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
At the due time their BODY is prepared for the Lord sent in the Spirit unto Salvation the second time by the Father;
Heb 10:5 Wherefore when ["IN DUE TIME"] he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
Gal 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law, [under SIN] that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Gal 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Jesus Christ in the Spirit, comes into the Body of THIS DEATH, to redeem us FROM death, through dying to that deathly sinful Flesh;
Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, ["redeem us"] in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
The Lord in the Spirit NOW takes the form of a bondservant through US, (God's elect, "us", the true Body of Christ prepared for him – Heb 10:5) in likeness of Men VIA us, appearance of a MAN via us, humbled himself and became DEATH via us, and the process of salvation, the Lord dying for the SINS OF THE WHOLE WORD, THE KINGDOM WITHIN US, is through the death of the Cross. Our dying daily to the flesh NOW, the forsaking and destruction of the body of Sin daily, the RENEWING of our carnal, deathly, sinful mind of the world into the spiritual mind of the Father, and thereby not being conformed to the (sin of the) world any longer. THIS IS HOW CHRIST DIES FOR OUR SINS ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURE, NOT HISTORY.
Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: [HOLLYWOOD'S "PASSION OF CHRIST" DEATH THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO] the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
The condemnation of sin in the chosen flesh is the dying/crucifixion of the Lord for the sins of the whole world! Not many are aware that just as there are "gods many, and lords many", those gods and lords inhabits their own world, and thus there are many worlds also, because the Kingdom, World, of the King is nigh unto thee, in the heart of men...Behold...
Luk 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God [and the world] is within you.
A popular musician, King of Pop Michael Jackson, once sang "We are the World" which is true! In due time, The Lord will die on the tree for my sins and also whoso reads, a continual process that is now upon the house of God.
Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: [not an historical event!, an IS, WAS and WILL BE process] nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
The death of the Lord for the sins of the world in me, for all firstfruits and elects, is NOW...
This is HOW the Lord dies for the Sins of the whole world within us; if "due time" is NOW.
2Co 4:10 Always [not 2 thousand years ago.] bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
2Co 4:11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
2Co 4:12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
All this process is being worked out in our appointed order in "due time" Via his Word.
Tit 1:3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
It is while we are YET SINNERS, not past or future or those unborn or those physically dead, Jesus Christ is dying for us in us, an event foreordained from the foundation of the world but working in us now...
1Pe 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Not to all the people of the world does the Lord die for at this time, but to witness chosen before by God...
Act 10:40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
Act 10:41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.[after we no longer know him after the flesh, and the veil is being ripped apart - 2Co 5:16-17 and Heb 10:20]
This secret is still hidden from men from ages and generations past and present, and in the earnest of the Spirit day unto day. The Lord is dying the death of the cross in a very few and we are showing the Lord's death through eating his word and drinking his blood in the New Testament until the fullness of it be fulfilled in us.
1Co 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.[in the fullness of the Spirit.]
When the sin of the whole world is taken away in me and all chosen elect of God first, then of necessity, we are NO MORE in this earthly realm and body of sin and death, we are dead to the flesh, literally also!
Col 1:27 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
Col 1:28 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Rom 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
CONCLUSION
Rom 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly...
1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1Co 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Contrary to Babylonish minds thinking that Jesus has ALREADY died for the sins of the whole world and HAD risen to ALL, and straying concerning the faith that the resurrection is already a past event, God's word "according to the scriptures" differs. The death and resurrection of the Lord is an ONGOING event; an is, was and will be in the Spirit to all that look to him the second time unto salvation. To meditate for those that love the Lord, the death of Jesus Christ, as gruesome and awful it was HAS NOT CHANGED THE HEARTS of MEN dwelling upon the earth. It is still evil from OUR youth, but the fulfillment of the true Lord's death upon a cross, the tree that is my ungodly flesh, takes place "in DUE TIME", not PAST time, in a time of reformation and refreshing of the Lord.
Until that time, ALL men, many called and uncalled, are still in their sins because they (and the few chosen in TIMES PAST) believe not on the Lord. They believed not that they are still spiritually dead unto GOD, through their righteousness of the works of the Law they do, and believe not that JESUS CHRIST truly is the LOVE of God, and IS, WAS and WILL BE the SAVIOUR OF THE WHOLE WORLD, to be testified in "due time".
All men are still in their sins, yet to be truly FORGIVEN and remembered no more, except a very few, a rare flock, which is now being fulfilled, these are as rare as fine gold of Ophir...
Isa 13:12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
Many decades after the Lord was risen, the LORD HIMSELF said this to apostle Paul, at the time named Saul;
Act 26:15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.Paul himself is saying this;
Act 26:16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
Act 26:17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
Act 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
Eph 5:26 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil....and many many years after the physical death of the Lord;
Gal 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
The fact that when I turn on the daily news and see all around me (and within me – Rom 7:18/21) is evil and that the people of God, Paul and all elect from Genesis until now are still being told by the Living word of the Lord to turn from darkness, from Satan who has been delivered the power of death so that THEY MAY RECEIVE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, emphatically proves that to those few chosen, Christ's death is being fulfilled in them earnestly day by day and the rest of the world still.
1Jn 5:21 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
It is now the end of the world for Sons of God raised to the Spirit. NOW is the "due time" the Lord is putting away the sin of the whole world in us, BY THE SACRIFICE OF HIS OWN FLESH. Now is the 'order' of those that are Christ's at his coming in the Spirit. For the rest of the world, they are still under their father the Devil, until...
Gal 4:2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father....and concerning their sins, this verse again;
Joh 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
....will be fulfilled at the Lake of Fire, the great white throne Judgment of the Almighty God, the fulfillment of their "due time", their due order, the time the Father has appointed for the Son to TRULY die for the Sins of the whole world, (which “Sons" we are and will be - 1Jn 3:2) and defeat death through the Second Death. I pray all who read will be partakers of the fulfillment of the propitiation of the Sin of the whole world, in their due time, the greatest news unknown to Man.
THE END
Rom 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly..........Your servant in the Lord, Ayo Fabiyi.
