TO FOLLOW ON TO KNOW - LIFE ETERNAL - HE WILL COME - IN US, IN OUR HEARTS :)

-> THEN shall we KNOW, IF we FOLLOW ON TO KNOW the Lord: his going forth is
prepared as the MORNING; and he shall COME unto us as the rain, as the latter and
former rain unto the earth. (Hosea 6:3)

-> And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the only true God, and Jesus
Christ, whom You have sent. (John 17:3)

-> I JESUS have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I
am the root and the offspring of David, and the BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR. And the
Spirit and the bride say: 'COME'. And let him that hears say, 'COME'. And let the
one who is thirsty COME. And whosoever will, let him TAKE THE WATER OF LIFE without
cost. (Revelation 22:16-17) :D

So the *coming* ("come") is in the *seeking*, and the coming is reflected back to
us:
- We DRAW NEAR to God, and He DRAWS NEAR to us (James 4:8). :)
- We COME to God, and He REWARDS us with the knowledge of Him -> "for he that COMES
to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a REWARDER of those that
DILIGENTLY SEEK him." (Hebrews 11:6) :)

Thus, we SEEK the Lord, and He gives us REST and is FOUND/KNOWN by us (revelation):
- "SEEK the Lord, and his strength: SEEK his face evermore/continually." (Psalms
105:4, 1 Chronicles 16:11)
- "and SOUGHT him with their whole desire; and he was FOUND by them: and the Lord
gave them REST round about." (2 Chron. 14:15)
- "because we have SOUGHT the Lord our God, we have SOUGHT him, and he has given us
REST on every side." (2 Chron. 14:7)
- "COME to Me, all who labour and are heavy-laden, and I will give you REST."
(Matthew 11:28) :)

Thus, we *draw near* to God THIRSTY to drink of the water of life, the Spirit of
life that flows through the Word of life (by looking intently into the perfect law
of liberty which is spirit and life - James 1:25, John 6:63, 2 Cor. 3:17), and the
LORD *draws near* to us and MINISTERS TO US THE WATER OF LIFE, THE SPIRIT of wisdom
and revelation in the KNOWLEDGE of Him (Galatians 3:5, Ephesians 1:17):
- "I will give to the one who THIRSTS from the spring/fountain of the water of life
without cost." (Revelation 21:6) :)
- "...LISTEN carefully to Me, AND EAT what is good, And delight yourself in
abundance. INCLINE YOUR EAR AND COME to Me. LISTEN, that your soul may live..."
(Isaiah 55:1-3) :)

So the *coming* is in the drawing near to to *hear* His Word, to *listen* to His
voice, which speaks the words of eternal life! :) And by this *coming*, *seeking*,
*drawing near*, *listening*, we receive the exceeding grace to KNOW HIM, which is
ETERNAL LIFE!
- "And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the only true God, and Jesus
Christ, whom You have sent." (John 17:3)
- "That I may KNOW Him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of
his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might
attain unto the resurrection of the dead." (Philipians 3:10-11).

So how can we KNOW Him? By COMING to Him, by SEEKING Him, by FOLLOWING after Him:
- "Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I FOLLOW
AFTER, if that I may APPREHEND (lay hold of) that for which also I am apprehended
(laid hold of) by Christ Jesus." (Philipians 3:12)
- "THEN shall we KNOW, IF we FOLLOW ON TO KNOW the Lord: his going forth is
prepared as the MORNING; and he shall COME unto us as the rain, as the latter and
former rain unto the earth." (Hosea 6:3) :)

So how will He COME to us? As the MORNING STAR, who is to arise IN OUR HEARTS:
- "We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take
heed, as unto a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the
MORNING STAR arise IN YOUR HEARTS." (2 Peter 1:19) :D
- "I JESUS...am the BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR" (Rev. 22:16)
- "And he that overcomes...I will give him the MORNING STAR. (Rev. 2:28)

So we shall KNOW Him fully, when Christ is formed fully in us (Gal. 4:19), when the
Morning Star dwells in our hearts (Eph. 3:17), when "WE ALL COME IN (ATTAIN TO) the
unity of the faith, and of the KNOWLEDGE of the Son of God, unto a PERFECT MAN,
unto the MEASURE of the STATURE of the FULLNESS OF CHRIST" (Eph. 4:13). :)

-> "For now we see in a mirror dimly, but THEN face to face. Now I know in part;
THEN I SHALL KNOW FULLY, even as I have been fully known." (1 Corinthians 13:12)

THEN shall we KNOW, IF we FOLLOW ON TO KNOW the Lord:

- "If you would be PERFECT, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you
will have treasure in heaven; and COME, FOLLOW ME." (Matthew 19:21)
- "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? YOU, FOLLOW ME!"
(John 21:22)
- "If any man will COME after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross
daily, and FOLLOW ME". (Luke 9:23)

So beloved, let us FOLLOW on to KNOW the Lord, the Father and the Son, that we may
KNOW Him, attain to a PERFECT MAN, unto the exact MEASURE of the STATURE of the
FULLNESS of Christ! Then we shall know, and we shall KNOW FULLY! :) Love in the
Spirit!
