1. Because Prophecy Will Be Fulfilled
I Will Pour Out My Spirit On all Flesh
Pour out my Spirit upon all flesh
“And afterwards,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your old men will dream dreams,
your young men will see visions.
Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
I will show wonders in the heavens
and on the earth,
blood and fire and billows of smoke.
The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood
before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
And everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord will be saved;
for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
there will be deliverance,
as the Lord has said,
among the survivors
whom the Lord calls.
Explanation of when and how...
KJV Former rain moderately... Next, both the former and latter rain in the first month...
Be glad, O people of Zion,
rejoice in the Lord your God,
for he has given you
the autumn rains in righteousness.
He sends you abundant showers,
both autumn and spring rains, as before.
Month of Abib…Nissan passover month
Jesus was the passover and the Holy Spirit was poured out
Latter glory is greater than the former glory
‘The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”

Jesus 1st Miracle
On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
“Dear woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.”
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.
Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”
They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realise where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.
1. Wine Speaks of Joy
Wine that gladdens the heart
wine that gladdens the heart of man,
oil to make his face shine,
and bread that sustains his heart.
2. Wine Speaks of Blessing
Abundance of grain and new wine
May God give you of heaven’s dew
and of earth’s richness—
an abundance of grain and new wine.
Vats will overflow with new wine and oil
I Will Pour Out My Spirit On all Flesh
Pour out my Spirit upon all flesh
KJV Former rain moderately... Next, both the former and latter rain in the first month...
The threshing-floors will be filled with grain;
the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.
Month of Abib…Nissan passover month
Jesus was the passover and the Holy Spirit was poured out
Later glory is greater than the former glory

Bride wife of the Lamb
One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
Belong (as in marriage) to Him who was raised from the dead...
So, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.
The Church is his wife without Spot or wrinkle
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no-one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church— for we are members of his body. “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.
Pure bride
I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him.
Because The Bride is without Spot or Wrinkle
Because The Bride is without Spot or Wrinkle
Until we become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ
It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fulness of Christ.
Bride has made herself ready Does she make herself ready in heaven?
Bride has made herself ready
Let us rejoice and be glad
and give him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has made herself ready.
Fine linen, bright and clean,
was given her to wear.”
(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.)
Does she make herself ready in heaven? NO!

Adam Sold Us To The Law
Power of sin is the law
Christ is the end of the law
2. Reception Of The New Law... LOVE
Indwelling of Love By The Holy Spirit
Oneness With God
He who began a good work....carry on to Completion
God is working in us to will and to act according to His good pleasure
Christ in you the hope of glory
A man can receive only what was given him from heaven
No one can come unless God draws them
Equiped through the blood.....
Saves us not by what we do, but by what he has done
3. LOVE IS PERFECTION AND BETTER THAN THE GIFTS OF THE CHURCH
, Spiritual Gifts
Love surpasses Knowledge
- Knowledge will pass away when Perfection comes
Perfect love casts out fear
United in love to have full riches of complete understanding
If love one another, God's love is made complete in us
Whoever lives in love lives in God
Perfect or complete unity = the world knows God's love
Love binds all virtues together into perfect unity
