Epilogue
In writing this book, we had intended to defend the call of all women to the priesthood, and instead found Scripture calling everyone, in their own individual, God-given authority, to partake of the Lord's Supper. It was an overwhelming, beautiful, shocking, sudden discovery.
But we also discovered that what Jesus said about the Law is true for the Church today. The tree ... the Law of Moses ... the Cross ... the modern Church ... they expose the flaws in our hearts. It was a set-up. God has revealed the good and less good intentions that seem unknown to us, until we see the fruit. "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in." Romans 11 : 25
Indeed, the fullness of the times of the Gentiles is coming to a close - the era of the Gentile Church, which has been characterized by male denomination, a non-Biblical priesthood, the suppression of the dignity of women, drawing believers out of their homes and into buildings, the rampant failure of the Church to feed the multitudes with the Eucharist - this era is coming to an end. The Millennium is on the horizon. I believe Yeshua's words are about to be fulfilled :
"And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down... And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled... So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled." Luke 21 : 5-6, 24, 31-32
But as the seed of the worldly church splits open and falls apart, new life is growing, reaching the surface, and will soon blossom in the sunshine. The Eucharistic church is emerging, which will require men and women to work together in a shared responsibility and joint authority to birth new souls into the Kingdom, into God's family.
Remember God's commandment to the first man and woman, to be fruitful and multiply ? How can God's sons bear fruit without the full participation of His daughters ? What tree have we cultivated without them ? We must, we absolutely must, repent of this exclusion of women ; that baptism of repentance must occur now.
“Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” Mathew 3 : 8-11
The Eucharistic adorer will topple these church castles and overthrow their princes, all without even saying a word to them. As Jesus says, “every tree is known by his own fruit.” Luke 6 : 44 He also said, “This is My Body, which will be given up for you”, and there is no greater fruit one can bear than the Eucharist - because the Eucharist is God's work, and when we faithfully admire Jesus present in the consecrated host, then by faith His work is credited to us as righteousness. We become a living branch of God's Tree of Life.
The Eucharistic Adorer is the preeminent ministry and vocation - becoming God's spouse. The first person to be presented to our risen Lord on Easter Sunday ... was a woman, Mary Magdalene, His Bride without spot or wrinkle. She is the first one to SPEAK the good news ; she is the apostle to the apostles. She is the new Eve, who says, “here, I bear good fruit.” Adam once said, "she is bone of my bones, flesh of my flesh." Genesis 2 : 23 And Jesus now offers us the same, offering His body, the Eucharist ! "For this cause shall a man be joined unto his wife, and they shall become one flesh." Ephesians 5 : 31
How much stronger we will become, when man, woman, Son and Spirit, are all united with one purpose.
"And now, little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming." 1 John 2 : 28
