The Cross Beyond Time • Feb 01st 1994
The Mystery of Christ Beyond What Can Be Known
There are realities that cannot be learned, explained, or reasoned into existence.
They must be revealed.
This message moves beyond what can be seen or understood by human thought and enters the realm of the revelation of Christ—the eternal Christ who existed before creation, outside of time, and beyond history itself.
Discover a reality beyond what you’ve ever known: the timeless truth of your being in Christ. Gene Edwards unveils a profound revelation of the “Christ before creation” and the Lamb slain eternally. This message explores how the New Creation preceded the old, and how you were marked off in Him before the world began. It’s an invitation to grasp the eternal Cross that envelops all of creation, revealing God’s glorious purpose apart from sin. Prepare to see your union with Jesus and your true destiny in a radically new light, moving beyond conventional understanding.
You will change, but you will not die. And you are also the first fruits of that new creation, this new species. And you’re not like Adam, because Adam didn’t have God’s life in him. You’ve got God’s life in you—coming out of that tomb. And where are you when Christ comes out of that tomb? You’re in Him.
Then what does He do? He ascends. Ephesians—He ascends. Where are you? I’m still in Him. You’re still in Him. I’m still in Him. And the angels receive Him. And where are you? In Him. And then what does He do? He stands beside the throne in glory. Where are you? And then He sits down. Where are you? Sitting. And then what does He do? He reigns. And where are you? In Him.
And I’m telling you, my brothers, that was all completed, settled, and taken care of before He created this universe. And to Him, it has already taken place. In Him, because He surrounds creation, this is what’s going on. You and I are living out the drama.
Now, I’m going to finish this drama now. I just want you to remember you were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. And He finished all things before He created all things. And your name is in the Book of Life—before the foundation of the world. Brothers, at some point you have to stand up and cheer and say, “What a God have I. What a Christ have I.” Amen.
Now then, the age has come to an end. It’s over. My creation—what happened to my creation? I’ve lost my creation here. My creation—even for me, it’s over. God disappeared. And now comes a meeting. All the parts get to meet one another. All the pieces chosen but scattered out through time—no more time. So we all gather. What a meeting that will be. And all the pieces of Christ come together. They go one. And they become one. And lo and behold, here is divinity gathering—and it’s female. We all become one. And there emerges the girl.
And Christ is so glorified. We’re all out of our minds with the glory in Christ. And we realize that this all took place—this all went over—even before it started. And we have always been in the Book of Life. We’re crazy. We’re going out of our minds. And then we gather, and the virgin girl comes—and she doesn’t even know there was an old creation. She came out of that tomb when the old creation was destroyed. And she looks at her Groom and says, “What’s that?”
“My Lord, what is that?”
And He says, “That’s the old creation. I brought you out of it. That’s where you came from. I brought you out of that scar. All the hate and evil and wickedness and sin have done nothing but leave a scar. But she has no scar. She is without spot or blemish. Wow. No spots. No blemish.
Now let me tell you what happens. They get married. We get married. Now, where did we start off before creation? In Christ and one with Christ. Now Christ comes into this girl who was in Him. And she’s beautiful. And she’s perfect. And she’s without blemish. And you’re part of her. And you’re holy. Ephesians 1. Colossians 1. You are already holy and spotless and pure, without blemish.
And now it comes—the greatest mystery of all. One with Him.
“So shall a man be joined to his wife, that the two might be one flesh.” Which is a picture of this moment—when two spirits join one another and become one spirit. That is 1 Corinthians 5:7, I believe, and also 1 Corinthians 15:48, I believe. And we become one with Him. Then, Ephesians 1:10—He brings all things back to Himself, reconciles the creation with Himself by destroying it, and brings her into His being. We’re still there. We’re still who we are. We’ve still got our personality. I’ve still got His life in me that is a unique part of Him. And I turn. I’m in Him. And He turns. And He comes back into the Father.
And we glorify the Father—I’m sorry, the Son. And the Son glorifies the Father. And He gets His girl. This is the end of the story. The hero gets His girl. And they are one. And God becomes all in all.
