Secret Administration

Secret Administration

The present, Secret Administration, was “hid in God” (Ephesians 3:9), “hid from the ages and generations” (Colossians 1:25-26). It unveils “the unsearchable riches of Christ” (Ephesians 3:8) not found elsewhere in Scripture. It involves “The Dispensation of the Grace of God” (Ephesians 3:2), a despotism of grace, committed only to Paul, not associated with any covenant, new or old (Ephesians 2:14-15; Colossians 2:14), nor to human merit or rules (Colossians 2:8), ordinances, holy days, etc. (Colossians 2:16).

 

All things emphasized in the past under Israel’s administrations (Promise, Law and Pentecost) have been removed. We now live under an administration where the Barrier Wall has been removed (cf. Ephesians 2:14, CV), and in the absence of that wall, we are “complete in Him” (Colossians 2:10). There is nothing that needs to be added.

 

Believers of this present Secret Administration are a “Joint-Body” (Ephesians 3:6), called the “One New Man” (:15), and share Christ’s Universal Headship inherent in the Heavens (4:15-16; Colossians 1:16-19; 2:10).

 

Because the current administration was an absolute secret, it is not the subject of prophecy. What this means is that Israel is currently in abeyance (Lo-ammi – “Not My People”), and her prophetic clock has now stopped, resulting in any timetable of prophecy been paused for the past two millennia.

Ephesians and Colossians are the present truth for the current dispensation. Ephesians introduces the Secret Administration in which we live, while Colossians, its companion epistle, completes the Word of God. There are no other Secret Administration letters beyond Ephesians and Colossians.

Sonship

Sonship “ Sonship ” is the Greek word huiothesia ( SEC #5206), meaning the “placing as a son”, i.e., “son-placing.” It is “the station in life accorded a son” (A.E. Knoch). It is translated “ sonship ” in the Concordant, Rotherham, Moffatt and Diaglott (“ son-setting ” in the Dabhar ).  The Romans 9 “ sonship ” is the exclusive prerogative of “ Israel according to the flesh ,” the Galatians 4 “ sonship ” extends to the spiritual seed of Abraham who are not “ after the flesh ” (:23), but was associated with “ Jerusalem which is above ” (:26). However, the Ephesians “ sonship ” has no relationship whatsoever to Abraham or Israel. It has no connection with the promises made to the fathers, it is not founded on an earthly inheritance (allotment). The Ephesians “ sonship ” extends back before the disruption of the world, and extends “ far above ” all heavens. These three “ sonships ” correspond to the three distinct spheres of blessing.  Book Resource:   Sonship  (A...

Fall of Israel in the Book of Acts

Fall of Israel in the Book of Acts In the book of Acts there was a threefold digression of Israel’s apostasy, which in turn resulted in the threefold progression of Paul’s ministry   – turning, going, sending: “ we turn to the Gentiles ” “ henceforth I will go to the Gentiles ” “ the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles .” Notice these three stages unfolded in their contexts: “… seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles ” (Acts 13:46). “… when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles ” (Acts 18:6).  “… And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,  s aying , ‘ Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand...
