  1. There was once ONE that became many, so that many can become eternally ONE!

  2. FOUNDATION OF THE CITY: THE ORIGIN Isa 58:12 NKJV - Those from among you Shall build the old waste places; You shall raise up the foundations of many generations; And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In. Isa 61:4 NKJV - And they shall rebuild the old ruins, They shall raise up the former desolations, And they shall repair the ruined cities, The desolations of many generations.

  3. WHO LAYS THE FOUNDATION? • Foundations – mowcadah (Heb) • Foundation – yacad (Heb) 1) to found, fix, establish, lay foundation a) (Qal) to found, establish, begin b) (Niphal) 1) to fix or seat themselves close together, sit in conclave 2) to be founded c) (Piel) 1) to found 2)to establish, appoint, ordain d) (Pual) to be founded, be laid e) (Hophal) to be founded • God laid the world’s foundation: • He has established the beginning of all things • He ordained the sequence of events toward a final purpose. • He calls the end from the beginning. • He originates every thing appointing its purpose and destiny. • He frames the world

  4. HOW WAS THE FOUNDATION LAID? Jhn 17:24 NKJV - "Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. Eph 1:4 NKJV - just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, Hbr 4:3 NKJV - For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said: "So I swore in My wrath, 'They shall not enter My rest,' " although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. Rev 13:8 NKJV - All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Foundation – katabole (Gr) 1) a throwing or laying down a) the act of conception: the injection or depositing of the virile semen in the womb b) of the seed of plants and animals 2) a founding (laying down a foundation) When the Lamb of God was slain, creation came into being. Words of God started to frame realms of existence and creation. Generations and ages came into existence with a purpose and direction.

  5. WHAT IS A FOUNDATION? 1Cr 3:10 NKJV - According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 1Cr 3:11 NKJV - For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is JesusChrist. Foundation – temelios (Gr) 1) laid down as a foundation, the foundation (of a building, wall, city) 2) metaph. the foundations, beginnings, first principals a) of institution or system of truth Each of the created framework has a foundation, laid by revelation of the Word given to apostles and prophets. Several ministries that are part of a different framework, during the last 2000 years, have laid as foundation something of Christ (gift of righteousness, His forgiveness, His healing power, His words of faith, His Grace, etc.). Each of these frameworks has a ceiling that is reached when the designed purpose is reached. Example: Martin Luther revelation of the salvation by faith and not by works; Watchman Nee teaching revelation of spirit, soul and body and the finished work of Christ; Pentecostal revival of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

  6. SONSHIP: END-TIME FRAMEWORK Sonship revelation lays the foundation of the person of Christ in oneness with His Body. Christ the Head and the Body (you and I) are One. That means that everything that is built upon this foundation should be connected to the revelation of Himself living in His Body. The ceiling of this framework is eternal since it will continue to bring fruit for eternity. Therefore is the revelation of the end-timegeneration.

  7. FRAMEWORK OF THE CITY: THE DESIGN Hbr 11:3 KJV - Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. FRAME (defintions): • something composed of parts fitted together and united. • An enclosure that separates what IS on the inside from what IS NOT.

  8. WHAT IS A GENERATION? Generations (dowr – Heb) 1) period, generation, habitation, dwelling a) period, age, generation (period of time) – SAME PERIOD OF TIME b) generation (those living during a period) – PEOPLE LIVING AT THE SAME TIME c) generation (characterized by quality, condition, class of men) – COMMON BELIEFS, TRADITIONS, VALUE SYSTEM d) dwelling-place, habitation – FRAME CREATED IN TIME AND SPACE Jer 2:31 NKJV - "O generation, see the word of the LORD! “ A generation contains the understanding and quickening of the Word of the Lord. Layers of understanding are measuring the time the seed is growing to the full fruit. The time of each generation is measured by the growth of the fruit it is destined to bring forth. Psa 145:4 NKJV - One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts. One particular generation could pass the fruit of it to another one. The end time generation should receive the fullness of all the other generations’ fruits. Therefore the Church is the fullness of Christ, that one that brings all to completion. Psa 145:13 NKJV - Your kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, And Your dominion [endures] throughout all generations. Psa 146:10 NKJV - The LORD shall reign forever--Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD! The foundation of all generations is God. He is the originator and the builder.

  9. BUILDING FRAMEWORS: GENERATIONS AND AGES Generation – genea (Gr) 1) fathered, birth, nativity 2) that which has been begotten, men of the same stock, a family a) the several ranks of natural descent, the successive members of a genealogy b) metaph. a group of men very like each other in endowments, pursuits, character 3) the whole multitude of men living at the same time 4) an age (i.e. the time ordinarily occupied be each successive generation), a space of 30 - 33 years The conception seeds are starting new seasons where the seeds are growing to become mature and bring forth the fruit. Ages– ions (Gr) 1) for ever, an unbroken age, perpetuity of time, eternity 2) the worlds, universe 3) period of time, age Seems to be connected to the word breathe, what gives life, in the understanding that God is breathing new revelation, new frameworks defined in time and space. Eph 3:21 NKJV - to Him [be] glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Christ fills ALL in ALL, he is the fullness of the fruit in our souls. He is in charge with the multiplication of each fruit from each generation. Eph 3:5 NKJV - which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets: Col 1:26 NKJV - the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. New things are revealed to each generation. Not outside the Bible or what it has been written, but layers of understanding are open to build the framework of each generation and bring forth its fruit.

  10. THE FRUIT OF THE END-TIME GENERATION – ONENESS WITH HIM Eph 4:11 NKJV - And He Himself gave some [to be] apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; Stature – helikia (Gr) 1) age, time of life a) age, term or length of life b) adult age, maturity c) suitable age for anything d) metaph. of an attained state fit for a thing 2) stature, i.e in height and comeliness of stature Fullness – pleroma (Gr) 1) that which is (has been) filled a) a ship inasmuch as it is filled (i.e. manned) with sailors, rowers, and soldiers b) in the NT, the body of believers, as that which is filled with the presence, power, agency, riches of God and of Christ 2) that which fills or with which a thing is filled a) of those things which a ship is filled, freight and merchandise, sailors, oarsmen, soldiers b) completeness or fulness of time 3)fulness, abundance 4) a fulfilling, keeping The measure of the fullness of the fruit is the fullness of Christ. The maturing of the Church, the Body of Christ, is to become ONE full man: the Head and the Body are ONE. Rom 11:25 NKJV - For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. The ‘number’ of the Gentiles is not a quantity but a type of fruit. When the fullness of that fruit will be manifested, the end will come. Seasons are changed in God’s history when the fruit of a generation has come to fullness. Eph 1:22 NASB - And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, Eph 1:23 NASB - which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. Everything is filled by Him with Himself. The Church is His fullness, the spiritual substance that fills everything. We become as He is: the midst, the essence, the fullness of everything that was created.

  11. EARTH - OUR BODILY EXISTENCE (habitations) The physical world is a habitation framed for our bodies. We are IN the world but not OF the world.

  12. HEAVENLY JERUSALEM(habitations) The New Jerusalem is a habitation framed for our new creation, spiritual sons of God.

  13. INTRODUCING: CELEBRATION CITY What is now the habitation for our souls, while our bodies are still in the world? Jesus framed and lived in this habitation for 40 days, while He was still on this earth in a resurrected body (notglorified yet). It is the sons of God’s framework of their souls while they are still on this earth. In similar manner, king David did not reign in Jerusalem from the beginning but was king in Hebron for the first 7 years.

  14. TAKE A PEAK: CELEBRATION CITY Isaiah 33:20 (Message)Just take a look at Zion, will you?Centering our worship in festival feasts!Feast your eyes on Jerusalem,a quiet and permanent place to live.No more pulling up stakes and moving on,no more patched- together lean- tos. Isaiah 33:21Instead, God! God majestic, God himself the placein a country of broad rivers and streams,But rivers blocked to invading ships,off- limits to predatory pirates. Isaiah 33:22For God makes all the decisions here. God is our king.God runs this place and he'll keep us safe. Isaiah 33:23Ha! Your sails are in shreds,your mast wobbling,your hold leaking.The plunder is free for the taking, free for all--for weak and strong, insiders and outsiders. Isaiah 33:24No one in Zion will say, "I'm sick."Best of all, they'll all live guilt- free.

  15. FRAMING CELEBRATION CITY: OUTSIDE Is NOT Heavenly Jerusalem (third heaven): Rev 22:14 – 15 NKJV - Blessed [are] those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside [are] dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie. Is NOT an earthly habitation or human spirit construction (first heaven) 1Pe 2:5 NKJV - you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

  16. FRAMING CELEBRATION CITY: PLACE It IS PLACED in mid-heaven (second heaven) Eph 3:10 – 11 NKJV - to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly [places], according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord Eph 6:12 NKJV - For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places]. Eph 2:2 NKJV - in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,

  17. FRAMING CELEBRATION CITY: VICTORY The Final Victory: the Rapture of the Church 1Th 4:16 – 17 NKJV - For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Same word for ‘air’ as in Ephesians 2:2. Rev 17:14 NKJV - "These (note: Babylon and the beast) will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those [who are] with Him [are] called, chosen, and faithful.“ The conquering of mid-heavens Rev 12:9 – 12 NKJV - So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. "Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time."
