Why must we contend? What is it that opposes us most? The devil—yes, but not as you think. It is time, time as you know it.
When Adam fell, he fell from the place of eternal life—not just life forever—but the essence of life that knows no bounds and has no limits to its goodness. No limits to its endurance and no limits to the expansion of its height, width and depth of seeing, knowing. Living the life that I speak of; this life is The Glory.
Adam fell to a limited place: limited in its capacity to see, to know, to receive and to live. The limits are walls and shut doors. This is the work and result of death. Only some doors, some gates have been opened. Few doors have remained open long enough for the Glory to come through and swallow the nature of this perversion of time. To replace it to such a degree all its past effects are submerged and gone forever under the flood of glory.
The Vanishing Point
But what then shall we do? What then shall we say? Say what the Psalmist of Psalm 24 said.
Lift up your heads, O ye gates. Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, that the King of Glory may come in.
What is the definition of the Hebrew word translated, “everlasting doors”? The vanishing point…When all the past ways dissipate, dissolve and disappear, as eternity consumes the curse and the nature of time that have been cursed by sin.
So lift up your heads, O ye gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, that the King of Glory may come in!
Who is the King of Glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord strong and mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of Glory shall come in. Who is the King of Glory? The Lord of Hosts. He is the King of Glory!
