A Sharp and Wide Contrast

Listen to Today’s Audio Goodie!

In such sharp and wide contrast does this revelation in Ephesians, Philippians* and Colossians stand over against all the other Scriptures. It illumines all. The procession of His eonian purpose appears emblazoned with a glory commensurate with its goal — “that God may be All in all.”

The line of partition across the created universe marks the Scriptures between those of Paul, concerning the Heavens, and all the rest concerning the Earth. In all of these the Heavens are in continuous recognition, in those of Paul they are brought forward in sustained exposition.

*Most who came to see the Secret Administration included the Philippians epistle along with Ephesians and Colossians. It is easy to understand why they did so. Yet, rather than being a part of the Secret Administration, Philippians stood on the threshold of the grand Ephesian-Colossian writings. It was the gateway epistle to the Celestial writings of Paul. For a look at the unique nature of Philippians, see:
