Cipher 64. Body, Soul, Spirit Complete for Judgment (1 Thes 4:15-5:23)
1. WHO? (4:15) We that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord.
2. WHY not now? (4:15) Shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep.
3. HOW will this happen? (4:16) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ shall rise first;
4. WHAT then? (4:17) Then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
5. WHEN is judgment? (5:2-3) The day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape.
6. WHERE is hope? (5:11-22) Wherefore exhort one another, and build each other up. Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward. Quench not the Spirit; abstain from every form of evil.
7. WHICH way? (5:23) And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Commentary: In the context of the rapture Paul’s body, soul and spirit agrees with what Jesus taught to Nicodemus on the rooftop. Jesus taught one must be born in the flesh, water and spirit in Cipher 42. Merged with what Paul taught comes together like this: One must be born in the flesh of the body, water of the soul and born in the spirit with the Holy Spirit. Both crosses follow the pattern of God’s Tree of Life 1–2–3–4th step result in Cipher 3. What God taught in the physical Creation, and what Jesus taught Nicodemus in the Gospel of John, and what Paul taught to the Thessalonians come together perfectly through the cross. It is interpreted there is no other way. Therefore, baptism must also come through the same complete cross of YHWH God.
