Dan Wilson told me about this section of scripture a long time ago and I want to explain what he said with some new things I learned today. First off we must understand this chapter. This chapter talks about the coming of the messiah and what he will do. I break this into three sections.
Who it points to, Jesus in heaven,
Verse one points to where Jesus is from to point to him. He often called the Root of Jesse because Jesus came out of the Davidic bloodline, King David's father was Jesse. The Greek and Hebrew both
translate it as a descendant.
What he is about, 7 Spirits of the Church
The Spirit would be upon the messiah. The church should be about these Spirits. They are identifying what Christ walks in.
With him he shows what he is about. If we made our vision like this we would much better. It cupples these Spirits together because they are scaled together.
Wisdom scaled with understanding.
Counsel with might.
Knowledge with the fear of the Lord and the delight of the Fear of the Lord. We scale these things together and get the counsel of God and the Holy Spirit. With him we can do many things in our spirit.
What he did in heaven the verses after that talk about the beasts living in harmony with one another.
Heaven on Earth would regulate these beasts to change their inhibitions to save lives. This is a futurist talk could we change the animals inhibition with altering their DNA so they don't attack or wound people. I would alter the DNA of attacking animals that kill people. Africa would be much safer. I don't know if we are there in the gene altering as of yet. I don't think this is playing God. I think we are making the world a better place. Imagine cobras eatting plants. Lions eating straw. We simply change what they eat. Somethings need to remain the same though because of the food chain keeps from over population. But this is a way to solve food problems. Eventually as population grows we will have more and more food products, that we may engineer ways to make more food.
What we should apply this to, now I saw a video about an alien whose stomach was built he didn't have to eat for a long period of time. If we could engineer ourselves to be like that even. I don't think humanity is that level we have to change the whole food chain. Some things are unhealthy and dangerous to eat. Would we declaw, defang, devenomize, dehibitionize in some cases to make more food? Would we change animals stomachs and intestines to eat different?
Heaven has endless possibilities and we grow in the possibilities as our innovation becomes like heaven. Innovate like heaven.
