Section 11

as clear or as thorough as that in Luke. In read ing Matthew 11 we may not sense the need for the fourteen Epistles of Paul in order to have the proper understanding of the things hidden from the wise and intelligent and revealed to babes. But as we read Luke 10, with the emphasis on these things, all things, and especially on the things, we realize the need for Paul's Epistles, where we have a full definition and explanation of all these things.

In chapter ten of the Gospel of Luke the Lord Jesus goes quite far in touching the mysterious things that are unveiled in Paul's Epistles. In this chapter the Lord indicates that the reality of the jubilee is in all these things. This means that the reality of the jubilee is not merely in the casting out of demons, in the subduing of the spirits. Rather, the reality of the jubilee is that we are brought into what was ordained for us by God before the foundation of the world. God chose us and predestinated us to enjoy His eter nal plan, a plan that is carried out in His New Testament economy. He has also predestinated us to enjoy all the things related to His economy, the things that are fully unveiled in the Epistles of Paul.

I believe that the inscribing of our names in

the heavens involves God's choosing us and His predestination concerning us. Before the foun dation of the world, God chose us, and then He predestinated us. That was the inscribing of our names in the heavens.

When Paul was about to speak in Ephesians concerning the mystery of Christ, which is the Body of Christ, he begins by telling us about the Father's choosing and predestination before the foundation of the world. This is our basis for saying that the explanation of these things, all things, and the things in Luke 10 is found in the fourteen Epistles of Paul. The inscribing of our names in the heavens, therefore, points to all the mysteries revealed in Paul's Epistles.
