I always enjoy your videos Epi as they make me dig deeper. (Let us love God with all our heart, mind and soul!)
I liked the part about the difference between "Salem" and "Zion" It could also mean the difference between the individual dwelling of Christ and His corporate dwelling in the whole church.
I also found this interesting. The same hebrew word "shalom" is used in Gen 15 when stating the INIQUITY of the Amorites was not yet full (or shalom)
Next I see , in myself that gradual weaning and rubbing away of my ego through trials and chastisement, not that I have arrived but I no longer think as highly of myself as I used to. Maybe one day I can walk in that higher level of power but I see that I am far from it.
Is this the same kind of visitation(recompense) you were talking about (interesting that word is episkopay ...lol) Am I on to something here?
This is a good word about that polish or getting rid of those irritating corners when applied to the living stones of the true temple:
1 Ki 6:7And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
"The way up is down" AMEN

Shalem being God with us...and Zion being where we walk with God where He is. The first is in a tabernacle (temporary dwelling)...and the latter an eternal abode.
Actually the word is shalem as in...
The bible says...lo-shalem avon...or their iniquity was not yet "repayed" or recompensed. Shalem is like the talent given to God's servants...a holy payment meant to make a profit. If we don't return to God on His investment in us then we are to be repayed (shalem) in holy retribution. Shalem brings in the idea of holiness...NOT righteousness. So then a holy wrath or repayment was not yet delivered to the Amorites.
You are being weaned from the flesh and dependence or confidence in the flesh...which is on the righteousness level. Being crucified is on the holiness level. Both are required for the saint. But for the faithful brethren, weaning is sufficient. So it's all good! :)
The same way that Shalem is about a holy payment given to us to transform us into something eternally beneficial...episkopay or the Hebrew Pekoudah.. has the very same effect. Good on you to put this together!
God's visitation (episkopay) is in shalem (intimate calling) ....if we ignore that calling and spurn His visitation then God will visit our sins on us...even though just as the Amorites of old, God has not yet visited us as a thief in the night to repay our unbelief and unresponsiveness to His high calling in Christ.
Very good analogy from the Word. In the lower walk, we are slowly trained through a rubbing away of our egos. In the higher walk we are crucified instantly and permitted to walk both in the death of Christ AND His resurrection life.
"Always bearing about in the body the death of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 2 Cor. 4:10-11
