We need to know that the land of Canaan has a twofold significance in typology: on the positive side, Canaan typifies the all-inclusive Christ with His unsearchable riches, and on the negative side, Canaan signifies the heavenly part of the dark kingdom of Satan with its satanic forces.
In order for us to fully gain and possess Christ as the all-inclusive land for God’s building, we must learn to be kept, to be ruled, to be governed, and to be guided by the direct, firsthand presence of the Lord; if we have the Lord’s presence, we have wisdom, insight, foresight, and the inner knowledge concerning things; the Lord’s presence is everything to us.
We need to be rescued from lawlessness and from being workers of lawlessness, do what is right in the eyes of God by obeying the principle of serving God, and conquer the satanic chaos in the old creation and carry out the divine economy for the new creation.
To be a normal Christian, to be one of today’s overcomers, to answer the Lord’s present calling, and to meet His present need in His recovery, we need to be today’s Ruths to turn to God’s economy, to enter into the land of Immanuel, and to marry ourselves to Christ that we may bring forth Christ to meet today’s need of both God and men.
