2 Corinthians 10: 1-11 Analysis

To start with, let us turn to II Corinthians 5: 1-10. Let us analyze the first four verses. Verse 1: “For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens”. Our earthly house of this tabernacle is the flesh body that we dwell in. When this body is dissolved, we have one waiting, Eternal in the heavens. What does the word “Eternal” mean? One would immediately say “Lasting for Ever” or “Never ending”. But let us go into it in a deeper sense. Anything that has a beginning has to have an end.

In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. But before there was a beginning, before anything was created, there was nothing existing except God alone. He was a Great Fountain of Spirit, going forth full of love, peace, righteousness, etc., dwelling alone with His attributes (inherent characters). He was unseen and had no form.
