“And he gave her the upper springs”
(
Joshua 15:19
19
Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs. (Joshua 15:19)
).
The upper springs bring before us our link, by the Spirit of God, to the Lord Jesus, the heavenly man, and where He is now seated at the right hand of God. On the Day of Pentecost, the Spirit descended on those hundred and twenty or so, who were in the upper room, and among other things, formed the church of God, and joined those believers, as members of the body of Christ, to their ascended Head in heaven.
As a result of this we can have an enjoyment of heaven, even before we get there.
“But as it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.
But
God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit”
(
1 Corinthians 2:9-10
9
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. (1 Corinthians 2:9‑10)
). We can enter into Canaan now, and enjoy our heavenly inheritance, although in part (due to the distractions within and around), as we will soon enjoy it in its fullness, when we are finally wholly and physically there with the Lord, with every hindrance removed, and the enemy gone for good.
“For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away ... For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known”
(
1 Corinthians 13:9-10, 12
9
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10
But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. (1 Corinthians 13:9‑10)
12
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. (1 Corinthians 13:12)
).
