Barrier Wall

[Editor:] When God called Abraham, He placed a division between his descendants and all of the rest of humanity. God established a “barrier” between Jew and Gentile, Israel and the Nations. Paul called this division a “middle wall of partition” in Ephesians 2:14 (KJV). The Concordant Version calls it “the central wall of the barrier.” The Dabhar Version renders it “the middle wall of the blockage.”

When reading the Scriptures it is vitally important that you ask yourself the simple question: Is the middle wall of partition up, or is it down? Recognizing and answering this crucial question is an important key in following Paul’s instruction found in II Timothy 2:15 of “rightly dividing” (KJV), “correctly cutting” (CV, 1976 – 6th Edition) or “correctly partitioning” (CV, 1927 – 2nd Edition) the “Word of truth.”

It’s not until you get to the pinnacle writings of Paul – Ephesians and Colossians – that you see this barrier removed. Read these letters that reveal the Secret Administration, and enjoy God’s truth for today.

Disruption of the World (or Overthrow)

[ Editor: ]  “ The disruption of the world ” ( CV : Matthew 25:34; Luke 11:50; John 17:24; Ephesians 1:4; Hebrew 4:3; 9:26; I Peter 1:20; Revelation 13:8; 17:8), mistakenly referred to as “the foundation of the world,” was the catastrophic overthrow of God’s original creation. “ A whole eon (age) had gone by before humanity came into being, and all the events of that eon, whatever they were, had terminated in ‘ the disruption of the world ,’ that is, the disruption of the society as it existed at that time. That society was clearly a Celestial one, for it was in being before the Earth was even founded, as Job 38:4-7 makes plain.” – John Essex, “The Vessel of Humanity,” Unsearchable Riches, volume 73 (1982).
