Daily Rhema: 2nd coming of Christ: Nazareth and Capernaum

Micah 5:2 (KJV)
But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

The second coming of Christ is in three sections:

1. His coming in us in perfection and fullness for the discipleship of the nations, fulfilling Matthew 24:14 and 28:18-20.
2. His coming for us at the ‘rapture’ in different orders of resurrection.
3. His coming with us for the millennial reign.

The way Christ will come in us in perfection and fullness follows the same pattern He came into the earth in perfection and fullness:

i. He was conceived in the womb of a virgin and born as a baby.
ii. He grew into maturity.
iii. He was made manifest by the power of Spirit without measure.

These three stages happened at Bethlehem, Nazareth and Capernaum:

1. Jesus was born in Bethlehem (Lk. 2:4-7).
2. Jesus grew up in wisdom and stature in Nazareth (Lk. 2:51-52).
3. Jesus began to manifest the Spirit without measure from Capernaum (Matt. 4:13), after the turning of water to wine at Cana (Jn. 2:11).

Prophetically and symbolically:

1. Bethlehem means the ‘house of bread’: it is a church that preaches and teaches the Word of perfection: the bread of Life that will get us spiritually ‘impregnated’ with the revelation of perfection.
As we act on this revelation, we give birth to the experience of ‘cleansing’ perfection (2Cor. 7:1).

2. Nazareth means the ‘guarded one’: a place in which God keeps us guarded, hidden and protected as we grow and mature in perfection, so we will not be distracted by premature manifestation of spectacular power, fame and prosperity. The Nazareth years are the silent, hidden years of great internal growth in wisdom and stature, but no great outward spectacular show of power.

3. Capernaum means the ‘village of comfort’: where the Comforter the Holy Spirit dwells permanently, manifesting the power and the glory of God on a consistent basis, so manifesting the Christ in us to our generation.

So for Christ to come in you, locate a ‘Bethlehem’ and ‘Nazareth’; feed on the Word there until you get pregnant and birth ‘cleansing’ perfection. Then stay there ‘guarded’ under covering as you grow into ‘manifesting’ perfection!
