My God and My Country

1 Timothy 6:14-16 - 1599 Geneva Bible

14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, and unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Which in due time he shall show, that is blessed and Prince only, the King of kings and Lord of lords.
16 Who only hath immortality, and dwelleth in the light that none can attain unto, whom never man saw, neither can see, unto whom be honor and power everlasting, Amen.

Lord, today is a busy day, but I only ask that You open my eyes to Your word – amen

Brethren:

Paul the Apostle herein sayest unto Timothy that Christ will indeed and bring His Kingdom to this carnal world. He further sayest that until such time, NO MAN has ever seen the Father, except through His only begotten son, will not see Him until such as He will be revealed. R.P. Woitowitz

“Christ Himself is here viewed as the faithful man, whom God will manifest in glory before all creatures at the time ordained in His counsels. All here is responsibility before the world, or glory as the result of that responsibility. The supreme, invisible God is maintained in His majesty; and He presents the Lord Jesus Christ in the creation as its centre, and repository of His glory - He who dwells in light inaccessible, whom, in His divine essence, man has not seen and cannot see. This character of the epistle is very remarkable. Nowhere else is the inaccessible majesty of God, as God, thus presented. His character is often the subject of instruction and manifestation. Here He alone has essential immortality. He dwells in inaccessible light. He is ever invisible to the eyes of men. He alone has power. He has dominion over all who reign. It is God in the abstraction of His essence, in the proper immutability of His being, in the rights of His majesty, veiled to all men. Now Christ will be the centre of the visible glory. Having part in the divine glory before the world was, He displays, in the human nature in which He took part, this glory, which is rendered visible in Him, causing His own to participate in His joy and in all that He has in this character; but here, He is manifested by God, and in order that all should acknowledge Him.” - John Nelson Darby
