RECOUNTING THE CHRIST'S DISFIGUREMENT
FROM MANKIND.

(From the vision of 13th July 1987 and Isaiah 52:13 to 53:12).

Through the earthly death of our Lord Jesus Christ the sinful condition of mankind was revealed, and at his return in glory their sins will be "recounted to them". (Isaiah 52:15. 2 Thess 1:6-10). The vast divide that exists between the mortal corruption of mankind made manifest by their sinful deeds, and the immortal incorruptible realm of God, could clearly be seen in The Christ's altered fleshly body: "disfigured till he seemed a man no more, deformed out of the semblance of a man." (Isaiah 52:14 Moffatt).

Almighty God permitted the sins of mankind to mutilate the physical appearance of His Son Jesus Christ to such an extent that his deformity was more than that of any other man. His suffering went far beyond the ignominies and injuries suffered at the hands of Roman army officers with their thorns and nails. The many forms of wickedness among mankind were made manifest when The Christ took our sins upon himself by making himself "a sacrifice for sin". This imposed a heavy toll on his fleshly body and led to his sacrificial death. The Christ's disfigurement was the result of the death dealing wickedness of mankind. (53:10 NEB).

The corrupting evil among mankind, handed down by each generation since the first Adam, was the "sickness" Christ came to know, and by his death from it he became the ransomer and Perfector of many. (53:3 Moffatt) (53:10 12 NEB. Matt 20:28. Heb 12:2). According to God's Spirit of perfect justice, Christ was accepted as a ransom in exchange for what Adam had lost. (1 Cor 15:22,45. Col 1:13,14). Now could begin the salvation of many by The Christ's administration of spirit healing among subjected followers while still in bondage to their corrupt bodies the creation of the spirits of obedient humans in the "image" and "likeness" of God and His Firstborn Son The Christ Michael.* (Gen 1:26).

"To the extent that many have stared at him in amazement so much was the disfigurement as respects his appearance more than that of any other man and as respects his stately form more than that of the sons of mankind he will likewise startle many nations. At him* kings will shut their mouth, because what had not been recounted to them they will actually see, and to what they had not heard they must turn their consideration." (52:14,15).

Nations of the world are as yet unable to perceive the meaning of The Christ's "disfigurement" "a sight unheard of." (52:15 Moffatt). But when the Lord of Hosts brings the Spirit of His Judgement in full flood upon mankind, they will "see what they had never been told and things unheard before" shall "fill their thoughts." (52:15 & 10:22 NEB).
