If the course of Theology were like the education of a student,
Adam;s generation would be kindergarten,
Noah's generation would be elementary school,
Moses generation would be middle school,
Jesus' first coming would be high school,
and Jesus' second coming (the time of revelation) would be university.
God has been working from the time of Adam to the time of Jesus' second coming.
It is a t the time of Revelation's fulfillment that God finally bestows the highest truth upon the world(Rev 10; Rev 2:17; Mt 24:45-47).
God spoke through Jesus at the time of the first coming.
" I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear,"(Jn 16:12).
Jesus also said that he would no longer use figurative language when the Counselor, the Spirit of truth, comes.
He promised to tell us plainly about the Father (Jn 16:13-15, 25).
According to Jn 17:17, the word of God is truth.
Thus, the Spirit of truth is the Holy spirit who brings God's word.
This Spirit of truth comes in the name of Jesus and dwells within a person(Jn 14:26; Rev 10).
John the Baptist came in the name of Elijah (Mt 11:10-14; Lk 1:13-17),
and Jesus came in the name of God the Father (Jn 5:43).
The Counselor, the Spirit of truth, comes in the name of Jesus (Jn 14:26), and the person in whom the Sprit of the Counselor dwells comes in the name of God, seeing Jesus was the same as seeing God (Jn 14:8-10).
In the same way, since the Counselor comes in the name of Jesus, seeing the Counselor is the same as seeing Jesus.
The spirit of Jesus dwells in that person (Rev 3:12, 21; Rev 22:16; Jn 14:26).
In addition, believing the words of that person who comes in the name of the Counselor is the same as believing Jesus.
During the past 6,000 years of God's work, the time of Revelation at the second coming is the time of the highest truth.
Since the physical fulfillment of the prophecies is beling testified at the time of the second coming,
people are able to see face to face instead of seeing only the figurative language (Jn 16:25; 1 cor 13:10-12).
Mere flesh is ignorant of God's words.
It will be difficult for them to understand and believe in the physical fulfillment of the prophecies even if they hear the testimony over and over again.
Those who see and believe the physical fulfillment, however, will be given the blessing of the highest truth and they will receive salvation.
