“The Diamond Revelation in the Bible” vs “God’s Building”

 

“The Diamond Revelation in the Bible” vs “God’s Building”

According to biblical revelation and ministry messages, the "diamond" in the Bible represents the highest revelation of God's eternal economy: God became man in Christ so that man might become God in life and nature (but not in the divine person); and by building Himself into man, He obtained His mutual dwelling place with man, ultimately concluding in the New Jerusalem. 

Therefore, the "diamond revelation" emphasizes vision and content; "God's building" emphasizes practice and completion. The former is the central revelation of God's economy, while the latter is the process of its completion. 

Item	The Diamond Revelation in the Bible	God’s Building
Meaning	God became man so that man may become God in life and nature (but not in the Godhead).	God builds Himself into man to gain a mutual dwelling place.
Reason	To fulfill God’s eternal economy.	To accomplish the practical realization of God’s economy.
Illustration	A diamond hidden inside a precious box (the Bible).	A divine construction project.
Explanation	Through incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension, Christ became the life-giving Spirit to dispense Himself into believers.	Christ spreads from our spirit into our heart, saturating our mind, emotion, and will with Himself.
Effect	Produces many God-men.	Produces the Body of Christ as God’s habitation.
Purpose	To gain a corporate expression of God.	To gain God and man as a mutual abode.

Practical Application	Receive and enjoy the divine life daily.	Allow Christ to spread and build Himself into every part of our being.
Ministry Burden	To recover the highest peak of the divine revelation.	To bring the saints into the reality of the Body life and the building up of the church.

Conclusion	The “diamond” is God’s economy centered on God becoming man and man becoming God in life and nature.	The building is God’s economy realized through God’s constituting Himself into man.
Ultimate Consummation	The corporate God-men.	The New Jerusalem as the mutual dwelling place of God and man.
