Eph 3:10-11
10 His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, 11 according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
NIV
I suppose those different types of angels in the heavenly realms need to know how I am going to be spending the rest of eternity with them. I suppose God never really told them of his complete plan when he created mankind and he is not revealing it to them through the members of the church. This is me. I am a member of his church and I am part of the pan to reveal to those angels how I am going to get where they are. Not that I have any power on my own to accomplish that, but because of Christ Jesus it is going to happen. Now Jesus alone accomplishes the way for me to do this, but I do play a part in the sense I have to accept this provision and I have so I am. It sort of blows me away when I think about the fact I am going to be spending eternity with all those angels, all the men and woman of the past who accepted Christ as their savior, and of course with Christ himself. It really blows be away to consider actually being in the presence of God the Father. I cannot imagine what he looks like or how he will actually be. People over the years have tried to make different images of God, but that is just what it is, men’s ideas, not reality. No one really knows but I am going to find out because it was his intent from the beginning this is how it will be. At times have a difficult time I am actually a part of how he decided to reveal his wisdom to all those angels. Sure it happened some thousand years ago and they were informed of his wisdom then and so do I really play a part today. That I do not know, but never the less I am a part as time means nothing to God, or in the heavenly realms so perhaps from then to now is all the same and I am therefore as much a part as Paul was. It is complex but I think I understand and I am so glad I get to be included.
