I quote, The term "metamorphosis" suggests a profound and dramatic change or transformation. End quote.
We are changed when we let Yahusha Hamashia into our hearts. Like we find in nature, there are stages of spiritual transformation. I believe we can to understand more by holding onto the outline we find in nature.
Here we see the first stage of a spiritual metamorphosis is Faith. In other words believing in Yahusha who is called Jesus. By having Faith, believing in Him, this brings justification. Faith is the egg stage of spiritual transformation. Being justified is the larva stage. In other words, saved by Grace, not having undergone any transformation yet.
And not only this, but we also boast in our afflictions, knowing that affliction brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not put to shame, because the love of Elohiym has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. 3-5
The pupa stage is when the larva is enclosed in a cocoon or case, and goes through changes inside by which structures of the larva are replaced by those of the adult. With the believer in Yahusha, we are enclosed by the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit, afflictions just hurt us, damaging the person emotionally or physically. Within the Holy Spirit, perseverance is available when afflictions happen . By proving ourself to ourself, this gives us Hope. The worm can change into the butterfly. The wicked person can transform into a saint.
For while we were still weak, at the right time Hamashia died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man, though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But Elohiym demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Hamashia died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of Elohiym through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to Elohiym through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only this, but we also boast in Elohiym through our Elohiym Yahusha Hamashia, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. 6-11
It's revealed that we are justified by Yahusha Hamashia's blood. So it is our Faith and His blood that makes the fertilized spiritual egg stage in Spiritual Metamorphosis of Grace.
But what if the process is interrupted? We need to change the analogy for this. The setting is the churches on earth throughout time. There has been incidents of corruption and innocent men, women and children have been hurt or killed. At this point we will let Yahusha Hamashia's prophecy speak.
You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how will it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out to be trampled under foot by men. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:13-16
Did you catch that. Trampled under the feet of men. A city that cannot be hidden. When companies are Nations become corrupted, they are no longer at a point of doing business with, they are taken over with hostility.
I was watching a movie when the leadership of an Abby was revealed to have used death and false accusations to gain personal revenge. Yes this was fictional, but it was taken from real events. My prayer was about corruption in the church. This is when Yahuah Elohiym revealed a deeper message in these previous verses.
There will be a time when the church will be no longer legal to operate. It will be walked upon by Lawless Leadership of Governments. It will happen because of sins of the church, but Lawlessness will want to eliminate the light of the church. In other words, Satan wants to destroy the city on the hill so brightly illuminated. Now let us return to the Metamorphosis of a believer in Yahusha Hamashia.
I quote, "The larva stage is when the insect hatches from an egg and is in a soft, worm-like shape. Larvae have large appetites and can eat several times their body weight each day. They go through several instars, or molts, as they grow and feed."
The new believer in Yahusha Hamashia have huge appetites for the Word of Yahuah Elohiym. Restrictions placed upon this hunger corrupts the Spiritual Metamorphosis. Our life in Yahusha will go through different phases between newly born again and the end of life. Do not stand in the way of Spiritual Metamorphosis or insult believers not yet matured in their faith. Don't stand in the way or change their development. Let the Holy Spirit do that. That would be like telling Albert Einstein you cannot be anything more than a clerk.
I quote, "The pupa stage is a phase of Metamorphosis in which an insects body is destroyed and rebuilt to create an adult form that looks very different from the larva."
When the believer in Yahusha Hamashia nears the end of life, they die just like the unbeliever. No difference physical can be seen. Dead is dead. However in the believers life, Spiritual Metamorphosis has been already at work. They have been recorded by the Holy Spirit. Not just names written down somewhere in the universe, but the entire energy of the life of someone who experienced salvation through Yahusha Hamashia. This saved Soul and Spirit will be printed out on more than a living three dimensional printer. They will be printed out on a much better printer. It will be done by the voice and light of Yahuah Elohiym. When saved by the blood of Yahusha Hamashia, staying in the straight and narrow, life with Yahuah Elohiym in His Kingdom is possible.
Lastly the Adult stage is when the believer in Yahusha Hamashia is resurrected, transfigured into a body like that of Yahusha Hamashia's body after the resurrection. To know the future is to know the past. Believing deception of the past is to be deceived in the future. In other words a false prophet. To understand the book of Genesis chapters one, two and three is to have insight into science when you come b understand that. We cannot predict what we will be doing as in an angelic body, but we can begin to understand it.
But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Yahusha died and rose again, even so Elohiym will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Yahusha. For this we say to you by the Word of Elohiym, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of Yahusha Hamashia, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For Yahusha Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of Yahuah, and the dead in Hamashia will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet Yahusha in the air, and so we shall always be with Yahusha. Therefore comfort one another with these words. 1st Thessalonians 4:13-18
Image a computer if you will. When the computer is up and running, information is there and visible. People are not much different. When they are alive, there personality is there for everyone to know. But when you're logged out, the information is lost unless you saved the information on something. Yahusha Hamashia is the something that our lives is saved to. The computer can be shutdown and still be reactivated. The dead in Yahusha Hamashia are asleep, ready to be reactivated.
When the dead in Yahusha Hamashia are reanimated, all the information has been saved with sin edited out. Instead of a 3D printer, Yahusha Hamashia will resurrect those who are saved in more than three dimensions and time. Time will not be an issue. It will have no hold on them.
For those who have not been saved by their own choice, Yahusha Hamashia doesn't have them listed for resurrection. The lost, like in lost information on a computer needs to be retrieved and judged. This will happen after the Kingdom on old Earth and before the kingdom on New Earth.
The question is, what does an ancient Holy Elohiym want with young Saints and to have conversation with them? It's like an old man having conversation with a young cashier. The cashier by nature is very intelligent and friendly. The old man enjoys her behavior and responds with intelligent friendly conversation. He finds out she was home schooled, undamaged by highschool drama.
Our Father in heaven provided a way for people to be born again. A new creation. The Holy Spirit is very much a part of the process of spiritual transformation. Our Father in Heaven will enjoy the company of a young beautiful Bride for the dimension of Himself known as His Son Yahusha or called Jesus.
Perhaps Yahuah is a Father in Law until the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
