Mt.19.28 Day of Regeneration" (3 of 4)

"And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

The tribes are to go up as this psalm teaches us,"For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David."(Ps.122.5). It is set in new Jerusalem. These thrones are 12 foundations or pillars in mid-air. The house of David refers to the earth as the footstool.

"And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain." (Zech.14.17)The King has a throne, the throne of God and of the Lamb and the Son of man shall sit in his glory which render the foundations resplendent. He is the Lamb and the apostles are of the Lamb."And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb."(Rev.21.14)

Nations below are referred in Rev.22.2 "In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."

The Twelve baskets of broken pieces mean that the apostles of the Lamb dispense the Word in the name of the Son; seven baskets likewise empower by the Law. This establishes the role of the Law of Moses as a shadow. Moses had to deal with a mixt multitude. "And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?" (Num.11.4) God sent them angel's food but they complained. Similarly the mixt multitude in the outer darkness shall be dealt with as God dealt with them at Taberah. The Word of God sets Moses in context of Jesus. As bread cast upon the waters baby Moses was found.

no 1. Hello all dear readers and others. I ask you to patiently read what I am trying to write, with Google Translate of course. I understand that it will be a mess and strange without the translator as well. So I can either leave it alone or continue trying.

Have you thought about what Jesus said when He raised Lazarus from the dead in John 11:44? Lazarus had been dead for 4 days, and already smelled. It was like a small awakening again today. "Loose him and let him go"! That was what Jesus needed to say. Already here He had power, and might, and everything that tells of the Divinity that He decides this, over Life and over Death. He somehow did not want to show this to the spectators there and then. John 11:42 I have been deceived by speech, perhaps. Because the impression I have received is the very death on the cross, which gave Him power over death. That is no coincidence! If we believe that, we will diminish His work and not see Jesus as He really is. Namely, God's living proof, Jesus Christ. So anyway, we must never just accept everything we hear. We should check everything out. But what is true is this. He who lives in the one who believes in Jesus Christ is the one who overcomes the world in His Name. Amen. So anyway, we must never just accept everything we hear. We should check everything out. But what is true is this. He who lives in the one who believes in Jesus Christ is the one who overcomes the world in His Name. Amen. So it also applies to demons who go here and there, they look for an empty "house". But with someone who sticks to the Lord and is filled with His light. Joh 8:12 Demons cannot come. So what happens when a believer suddenly becomes afraid? Fear and anxiety are our own responsibility and we cast them out in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. So that we do not "infect" other doubting people. Others are not to blame for our shortcomings.

Eccle.11.1 "Bread from heaven" (2 of 4)

"Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days./Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth."

'Give a portion to seven' shall explain the miracle of loaves and fishes, draught of fishes, the last supper as well as the first supper by the risen Christ.'when the morning was come' and the number of fishes are in multiples of Three! this passage Jn.21.4-15) serves as the book end to the draught of fishes in Lk.5.1-11. Here the disciples forsake their former lives while the risen Christ gives them a foretaste of what awaited them in heaven. Curiously the lake in which they plied their trade is one and the same. ' the lake of Gennesaret,'in the John's gospel is the sea of Tiberias; one lake has three names and is associated with the Son of man.

In his death he went to the lower part and preached to those who were bound. The eight explains the gospel preached there. The 24 elders represent the gospel of God.8x3=24.

We shall now take up the significance of the five loaves and two fishes.. What we are looking for are the number of baskets. What is significance of Three Twelve and Seven? The Son, the Word and the Law respectively.

"And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude." (Mt.14.19)

Jesus as the bread from heaven. So he looks upto the heaven establishing the connection,- the word is sound as well as sign, he blesses according to the Covenant, breaks the loaves. Notice the crucial part. He is empowering the disciples and they are distrbuting what Jesus hands over to them."And they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full."(v.20) They are priests and kings in the day of regeneration. These 12 baskets ful refer to their priesthood. Same broken body.

Col 2.10 "Ye are complete in him" (1 0f 4)

Apostle John also gives the reason why."But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things." ( 1 Jn 2,20) The word in you is of incorruptible seed so we are to walk even as he did. This explains 'After our image' . God sent His Son as the Lord from heaven. After our likeness gives us the bread from heaven. The dream of the Midianite soldier,"Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along."( Judges 7.13). So what is the bread from heaven? He 'which is the head of all principality and power.' The Law of the Spirit established that all things by his consist.

God sent His only begotten Son and what is Bethehem, the house of bread. God had set the name of his earthly house that holds his humanity and deity as one. How shall we set this verse in proper context? "And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head."(Mt.8.20) It only refers to the Son of man. Another instance we have: The name Egypt is chosen for his Son."When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt."( Hosea 11.1) God allowed Patriarch Abraham in the time of a famine to go to Egypt because he is set as a double for his Son. However in the time of another famine,"And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:" Once was enough. The bondage of Israelites in Egypt owed to the sin that lay hidden from Israel who was the heir of promise.

All place names as well as of persons by his Son consist. In the next post we shall examine the role of the miracle of multiplying loaves. The Spirit has set this in gospels for our spiritual instruction."And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever.

Greetings,

John 5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

Matthew 19:16 "And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?"

Matthew 19:17 "And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."

Credo

Doctrines of man begin with a creed which every sect makes; so did five blind men from Benares. They felt and touched and each sect ended with what an elephant ought to be. Be that as it may here is what I believe from the Word which was God:

God is One as He is the Word,

In his Power and Wisdom we have two entities both work so there is order which is perfect. If Wisdom does not know where to stop what is the use? If it is all power without wisdom it is disaster. So when God maintains this order where both wisdom and power is unified there is glory.

God sent his Son who of His Father has become our salvation.

In the Gospels he is man in all aspects, he felt hunger, felt thirst and when soldiers pierced his side while hanging on the cross he bled; He was a man except he did not sin and knew no sin. In his resurrection he proved he was God.

God sent his Word which we know as the Word which was with God; the word became flesh but we believe by his death and resurrection that he was indeed the word become flesh. By faith we have this anointing that this word in us, abiding in us.

1 Jn 2,5-6 "God's rest"

How do we enter into this rest? Apostle John summarises in two verses. "But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him./He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked." Keeping his word so the love of God is perfected. This is what the fruit bearing does in th e natural world. Similarly one who is born of incorruptible seed perfects the love of God. As God loved him in his Son, he abides as a branch to the true Vine. This fruit is 'the work' which is natural. v.6 speaks of the condition,-walk even as he walked.'

This Covenant of seven days carries His commandments. The believer by faith is growing from the incorruptible seed 'in our image' where we are conforming to the Law of the Spirit. "he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.". DNA of faith establishes he is indeed the child of God. Second aspect is that we are created 'after our likeness' so if the Son is the true Vine what we produce shall be true to his image and for the glory of his Father. Seth showed he was after our likeness even before Jesus Christ was born. The word of God foretold of the branch. "Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH"(Zech.3.8) This was fulfilled in the case of the Son of man,"And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:"(Isa.11.1) Therefore he is called the son of David, after the flesh.(Mt.1.1) Seth stepped into the breach made by Cain, the wicked one who killed Abel. In his obedience Seth proved that he was after the image of the Son whose obedience owned him a name above every name. "And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."

(Phi.2.8-11) Thatis how we walk in his obedience, the same Law leads us.

2 Cor.3.18 "Through a glass clearly"

"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."

God fashioned all hearts alike so an open face in terms of the gospel of God is truth. God sent his only begotten Son whose death and resurrection render the gospel of God is same as the gospel of Christ. What are the doctrines of man? They are the heresies 'by the sleight of ; Jude 1.12men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive' and Jude refers to them as spots in your charity, (Eph.4.14) and we have in this forum as well, dispensationalism they call it, playing on one single string and it is adnauseam,'clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots." We are to grow in knowledge so what is cast on the face of Jesus Christ is the image we are looking at.(2 Cor.4.6) What these sects do. James tell it to our profit."But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed."(Jas.1.25;Jn.3.21) Their 'works' are open or done under the light. "But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." Our works are done in God so entering into the God's rest our fruits shall never prove to be duds. The firmament sheweth the handiwork of God. Heaven where we have the building of God not made with hands serves as a glass. Proof it is in the wall of the city of God,"And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel."These 12 foundations bearing the names of the apostles, are studded with stones. So the breast plate of Aaron is pointing to the 'new' Jerusalem, four square, which is above the mid-air!

Exod.28 .30-31 "Urim and Thummim"

"And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goeth in before the LORD: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually."

In the following verse we have the context, "And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue."

'The ephod all of blue' evokes this verse,"And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness" Paved work resonates with the analogy of the fabric which is woven. (Exod.24.10) Consequently the garment of the high priest for glory and beauty is evoking Jesus Christ whom God has anointed as the eternal Priest. ("Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek"-Ps.110.1-5)

Colour of the terrible crystal in its clearness is the firmament where God has set the tabernace for the sun. When it is translated into a tangible material as garment we shall jst recall the Woman clothed with the Sun. She loses her position but the sun or the moon do not. For these refer to the entities to represent the Father Son relationship. The sun and the moon are transposed as two stones, Urim and the Thummim so the divine light is tucked within the breastplate doubled over.

What does doubled over signify? the same as the book with seven seals with writing on the backside and within. These two stone, the greater light and the lesser lights are intended for the new heaven and the new earth, producing the light of the lamb. what the 12 stones on the breast plates carry are 'Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually." The compound number establishes the eternal priesthood and kingship as established the Word which was God. In other world Law of the Spirit shall judge the Israelites who are under the Law of sin and death. Decalogue.

Exod.19.9 "Voice of the Lord" (2 of 2)

"And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever.."

Here in these two quotes from the book of Exodues we have the Lord God revealing the place of His rest. It was a sign. In this we have the sound of the word of God. "And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off."(Exod.20.18-19)

It terrified the Israelites who promised Moses, "Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die." Neither did they follow Moses and when the heard the voice from heaven it did not make sense to them. It is made clear in the word of Jesus,"Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again." and he adds,"Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes." ( Jn 12.28-30) Their heart was desperately wicked. and far from Fod."The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"Jeremiah asks. The sects would make a heresy from their own reprobate hearts. Calvin's total depravity merely a manifestation of spiritual blindness.

We see in many passages of the the last book where the floor on which the throne is set: "And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind." Compare this crystal with the inaugural vision of Ezekiel,"And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above."(Ezek.1.22) These four living creaures,"Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?"(Heb.1.14)

Exod.24.10" They went up" (1 of 2)

"Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel"

Of these we read what befell the two sons of Aaron in Lev.10.1. They were caled up but Nadab and Abihu violated the Law and ' and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not" It is thus the nation of Israel went whoring after 'strange' gods and in our times we have the same idolatry which is covetousness, How shall such nations ever enter the God's rest?

The Law of the Spirit gave us an ensample and the history of Israel is only relevant for instruction in righteousness. The Spirit is leading us to the revelatory nature of the Father of Mercies. God gathered the seventy elders so the Law of the Spirit is setting the nation in context of Jesus Christ the fulfilment of the Law. The Law of Moses is only pendent to it. God called the firmament and called it heaven. Psalm 19.1 the handiwork of God is a sign and they were shown the mid-air where the house with seven pillars which shall come to rest. "And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness."(v.20) Heaven in its clearness is evident:St Paul says that the nation of Israel is without excuse.(Rom.1.19-20)

We came across already the word sent forth, So there is nothing new. The fellowship of God with Man on which we have the Covenant of seven days establish this as 'now'. "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun."(Eccle.1.9)

Jesus also testified of the supper of the great God, "And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven."(Mt.8.11; Lk. 13.28-29) This weeping and gnashing of teeth shall be from the outer darkness where as Prophet Jeremiah says the rotten figs are.

Can a theological answer be given to why Christ said let this cup be taken away from me but if is your will let it be done. I have a battle with Jesus as God in the human form and praying to God and Christians say that there is no separation between Christ and God but the Bible shows otherwise.Can someone give me an explanation?

Revelation: The "revealing" of Christ

In considering the end times; where we certainly are headed quickly as I see it-we see that proclamations are made beforehand as to the general state of the "last days" such as attitudes of people in 2 Timothy 3 as well as with the 144,000 and the 2 prophets in Revelation. We also see angels themselves as we get to the time the bowl judgments are about to occur as a final warning.

In reality; of course for an unregenerate person it only seals their fate and increases their judgment once their impenitent hearts are challenged. The lack of love of the truth ( 2 Thessalonians 2:10) allows the world to accept the Daniel 9:27 covenant also known as the covenant with death and hell in Isaiah 28:18 which is deliberately agreed upon despite the obvious ramifications.

People as they do now will hear what they want to hear and disregard the rest. As with the Prophets of old God says He will do nothing without first revealing the matter to the prophets ( Amos 3:7); and we see this process most clearly it seems with Jeremiah but also of course with the warnings in Deuteronomy as to blessings and cursings. Deuteronomy 30:19 says to choose life and live but of course Jeremiah 17:9 shows the human heart is desperately wicked and who can understand it?

Again a repeated concept here that I have mentioned is that the world is aware of what's coming. It is the same sort of idea when Christ came the first time with the Pharisees denying the obvious and committing the unpardonable blasphemy against the Spirit saying that it is evil; and likely the same sort of thing will be heard by the son of perdition and the world at large once judgments start to fall as we see several times during the bowl judgments ( 2 Thessalonians 2:3). He will say "unheard of" things against the Most High ( Daniel 11:36) and will come in his own name yet declare himself to be god (see John 5:43).

We need to be ready to desire seeing the Day of the Lord ( Amos 5:18

Eph.4.13 "Unity of the faith"

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:"

Unity of the faith has only one end: a body that fits the fulness of Christ, a template. God asks, Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?"(Isa.66.1).Isaiah vision of the temple in which tthe glory of God filled. It is what every heart carries, This spiritual space has a throne above and a door with lintel and two side-posts of which bear the blood of the Lamb so a child called to service is safe within. It is to him God asks,'where is my place of rest.' What shall be our answer.

By faith salvation has come within and unity of the faith is our obedience for the master-builder to work over us. So knowledge of the Son which the Word or the Law represents. Law of the Spirit has been on the rounds as the word of God went forth, preparing the ground.It shall never go back to him void. So what knowledge are we looking at? Each sect serves as a stumbling block ready to do the bidding of the devil. St Paul warns,"That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;"(v.14) By faith Christ dwells in us and the indwelling Spirit makes the light of the knowledge grow from glory to glory.(2 Cor.4.6;3.18) This supping with Christ is for growing 'unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.' This is called the Unity of the Spirit. We walk thus in our vile bodies, not by sight but by faith. "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."(2.10) Faith and obedience to being worked over direct our paths and it leads the God's rest.

Col.1.20 "All things unto himself"

And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven."

In the v.19 we have the fullness of God stated. It pleased God that in Jesus Christ Christ it should be; The Holy Spirit instructs of the house that Wisdom built. (Prov.9.1)It has seven pillars and it is to which the Covenant refers. This building made not with hands is the tabernacle awaiting us, a spiritual body we shall put on. Having settled his Son as the template, it pleased God the Father 'to reconcile all things unto himself by him'. In short when our earthly house is dissolved we have a house to go to. God asks 'And where is the place of my rest

In the covenant we have several separations which we shall understand were to make tabernacle of God among men after 'our image and after our likeness.For instance God divided the light from darkness. 'Heaven is my throne' becomes Throne of God and of the Lamb. God is the Father of lights. His Son whom he sent to the earth is the true Light. In the new heaven and new earth, the light is the light of the Lamb. Reconciling all things whether they are in earth or things in heaven is glorious iight!

This is what we see in the inaugural vision of St John. "and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength." (Rev.1.16)

Here the risen Christ is the embodiment of the Law of the Spirit. The House that Wisdom built comes to the full measure and stature of Jesus Christ.

God separated waters above from waters below. So the river flows from the east and does not break off and it is what Ezekiel saw in his vision. He took one full turn and saw this river of living waters. Now it is the river of pure water of life cleansed by the death of the Lamb of God. It marks out the mid-air for the God's rest.

There is an outer darkness where the mixed multitude of the heathens. Why do the heathens rage?

Rom.5.19 "By one man's disobedience' (2 of 2)

Adam's disobedience created many sinners created in his image and after his likeness. Genealogy of Adam as against generation of Jesus whose obedience made many righteous.(Gen.5.3) Creation of a new familial relationship is made manifest. Seth is a branch is after the likeness of the Son. Here we see how imposter churches have failed to interpret the Scripture since they are not reading with understanding. The sects after two millennia cannot distinguish between true and false.

Cain is also a son of Adam and he was cast off from his presence. What does Eccle 1.9 say?

"The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun." Adam was expelled from the garden for his disobedience and his son Cain the wicked one fares no better. It is thus sons of Adam for their diobedience has been scattered the nation of Israel, rotten figs, as God calls them, is scattered abroad. Without understanding the liars call it progressive revelation! All this dispersion shall send the rotten figs to the outer darkness. This has been stated clearly."He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end" Our heart is where God has set it. Our innerman is a sign therefore. The work of God can only be understood by believing in Jesus Christ. "Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."( Jn 6.29)

Heaven sheweth the handiwork of God. This refers to the firmament. Here we have a reason why God named it heaven. God sent off Adam from the garden. This is where new heaven and new earth shall come to rest. (Rev.21-2)The God's rest is already determined.The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done.

The two great commandments listed in Matt 22:37-40 are "Love the Lord with all thy heart all thy soul and all thy mine." The second great commandment is "Love your neighbor as yourself." God's ten commandments are hanging on those two. The first four, on the first table, tell us how to love God with all our heart. (Have no other Gods, not worship images, not take God's name in vain and remember His 7th day Sabbath to keep it holy.) The last six, on the second table deal with loving our neighbor as ourselves. (To honor our parents, not kill, not commit adultery, not steal, not lie, not covet.) Which one or ones of these commandments do you honor? Do you Love God with all your heart, soul and mine? Do you Love your neighbor as yourself?

Rom.5.19 "By one man" 1 of 2)

"For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous." We shall consider another example to explain there is nothing new under the heaven. God set Jacob for a testimony.God said, "Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed"(Gen.32.28) God named Jesus and set it above every other name so God made 'thy seed' meaning every name shall be new. This is what the risen Christ promised the church in Pergamos,"To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it."(Rev.2.17).' He that overcometh' is a new creation and by faith he has entered into the God's rest. In overcoming the world, victory of Christ is his, 'I.have overcome the world!'. Death has no fighting chance. By literalism these awful apologists for Israel a few fellows in this forum, more reptilian aspects still shake their tails, 'progressive revelation'. They are teachers of lies, are the tail,- of the red dragon. (Rev.12.4). These naming is by the Son. The inaugural vision of John showed the risen Christ as the Ancient of days. The seven stars in his right hand every one who has enetered into the rest has done so under the Covenant in seven days. Testimony of Jacob is good only as far as the heirs of promise go. Jesus declared,"He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad."( Jn 12.30) In rejecting Christ, who are the 12 tribes of Israel scattered abroad? Answer is tied up with this,'Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.' He belongs up there in heavenly places.

We shall recall the Jeremiah quote, the good figs "For I will set mine eyes upon them for good,"(Jer.24-6)

Eccl.1.9 "New"

"The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun." What is new but the will of God fulfilled, which is done in heaven, certainly not under the sun. Thus new earth is not created under tha sun that itself shall be no more. The new heaven and the new earth inhabited by new creation is heaven. For this reason Paul paraphrased the words of Jesus saying, "Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth."(Col.3.2) Our inheritance is in heaven,"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."(Mt.6.19-21)The idea of new worlds is embedded in the Word. If the Law can only be revealed progressively how shall this following verse be implemented. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."(2 Cor.5.17) . This helps us understand the analogy of parables concerning new cloth and new wineskins, "No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse."(Mt.9.61) Yout trasure is set in heaven, and your heart naturally ought to be there. Instead what shall you call those who still wheel and deal with mammon? Hypocrites,neither in heaven nor of the earth. CUFI and millennialists show roguery is alive and kicking in the present day churches.

Faith with which worlds were framed helps every believer enter into the God's rest so day Seven assures you under the Covenant the fuits are genuine since it is what Christ has done for his Father's glory. As a new creation we are to grow, while we are in our vile bodies, we walk not by sight but by faith, groaning, "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."(2 Cor.5.1)

To all that be in Christ,

How all will be judged!

The Judgment Seat of Christ (bma) is the tribunal for the Body of Christ, described in Romans 14:10-12 and 2 Corinthians 5:10. It is not about condemnation, for believers are secure in Christ ( Rom. 8:1). Instead, it evaluates works, motives, and service, with rewards or loss of rewards ( 1 Cor. 3:11-15). Every member of the Body, sealed by the Spirit, will appear there after the rapture. Unbelievers will not; their judgment comes later at the Great White Throne ( Rev. 20:11-15).

By what standard will this judgment occur? Paul declares it is "by Jesus Christ according to my gospel" ( Rom. 2:16). Not the Law, not the Sermon on the Mount, nor the gospel of the kingdom, but the revelation of grace given to Paul ( 1 Cor. 15:1-4; Eph. 3:2-9). Salvation is not in question; it is a matter of reward based on faithfulness to the gospel of grace.

Israel's prophetic remnant, however, is distinct. This group represents the faithful within Israel's covenant program, foreseen by Isaiah ( Isa. 10:20-22) and Paul ( Rom. 11:5). They believed in Jesus as Messiah and endured, awaiting the promised earthly kingdom. Their judgment is not at the bma but when Christ returns to earth, separating sheep from goats ( Matt. 25:31-34). Their inheritance is earthly-the land and kingdom under Messiah's reign, in line with the prophets and the New Covenant ( Jer. 31:31-34; Zech. 14:16).

By contrast, believing Israel in this dispensation refers to Jews who trusted Paul's gospel. They are placed into the Body of Christ, receiving a heavenly inheritance ( Eph. 2:6-7). They are judged at the bma along with Gentile believers, not as part of the kingdom remnant.

In sum:

Body of Christ (Jew & Gentile who believe Paul's gospel) Judged at the bma, heavenly hope.

Prophetic remnant of Israel Judged at Christ's return to earth, earthly kingdom.

Unbelievers Judged at the Great White Throne.

Grace and Peace.

give me 4 reasons belivers are not found giulty

"Interpreting scripture with scripture means letting the Bible explain itself. God's Word is a unified whole, and comparing passages sheds light on difficult texts. Paul himself appealed to the Old Testament to confirm truths ( Romans 4 using Abraham as an example). This method guards against personal bias by ensuring one verse is not isolated, but harmonized with the rest of God's revelation."

Here we have some commong ground: interpreting scripture means whole truth so we have this quote from St Paul, "Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual." Comparing spiritual means the Word as the Law compares with the Law of Moses. The Law of the Spirit offers us liberty while ' For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God."(Heb.7.19)

God is a Spirit and when God made man a living soul it was the Law of God that was impressed in him." For I delight in the law of God after the inward man" How does he apply it? By faith of course. It is what the Covenant in seven days signify. What prevents man from comparing spiritual. "Letting the Bible explain itself' as the quote from the brother states cannot be both true and false.

Entering into the Law of God on Day seven requires only faith. Any man created in our image and after our likeness may enter in his Son.' Why drag in a law under sin and death when the word of God says,'enter.' This is knowledge shined into our hearts. "the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God"" (2 Cor.4.4-6)

Holiness of God is whole so comparing spiritual is for the spirit that 'was in my servant Caleb."But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land. 'It is another spirit, meaning faith. He folloed me fully. Whole or nothing.

'Without context and cross-referencing, readers may force their own meaning into the text. But with them, clarity emerges, and God's progressive revelation becomes plain: Israel's promises remain, while the Body of Christ has its distinct calling. In short, context and comparing scripture with scripture protects truth, sharpens understanding, and preserves God's intended message.'

This quote merely shows bow little Dispensationalists value of the holiness of God

let us take up their error. Firstly,'God's progressive revelation becomes plain'. Holiness is whole: Power and Wisdom of God ensure that. It is in the creation of man. Knowing his nature He expects nothing less that his own holiness. Faith is what is required. Without grace and mercy holiness is impossible for man to grasp. But faith is the pure speech lingua franca and without it for man He remains an engma. So He sends his Sons who makes it doable. God did not scale down his holiness. His word is perfect what progressive revelation are they talking about when 'Thy word is truth.' It has been heard (Rom.10.17-18) Man who having heard if his faith is blind to the word do you make God a liar? Dispensationalist call their lie as progressive revelation. Their own blindness they blame on Him. If God says they are cast off fr disbelief, what remains of Israel's promises. Secondly Israel rejecting Jesus Christ is not rejection of any man but the holiness of God, " Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;/ Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:/ But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto ""( Num.14.22-24) went; and his seed shall possess it.

"Context is the anchor that keeps Bible study from drifting into speculation. Every verse has a setting: who wrote it, to whom it was written, what was happening historically, and what came before and after. Pulling a single phrase without its frame can lead to contradictions or even false doctrines. For example, James 2:24 says a man is justified by works, while Romans 3:28 declares justification by faith without works. At first glance, these clash-but context shows James is addressing Israel's faith under law, while Paul is revealing justification in Christ apart from law in this dispensation."

Here we have a quote from one member which we shall analyze so we may know what we are up against. Context is the framework of God and man. So All scripture is given to man, " All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:/That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."(2 Tim.3.16-17) The purpose? 'For instruction in righteousness.' and it is what we ought to keep in focus. Without Christ this nstruction is meaningless. Jesus Christ who of God has become our wisdom, sanctiification etc. So contextt of verses must be to God and Jesus Christ. What James or Paul has written is not infallible since they were referring to the social conditions of their day. But their doctrine is in Christ. Justification by faith explains entering into the God's rest. Where shall we place the works, is it entering into rest? Or is it into abiding in Christ? Or is it in the abundance of fruits. Dispensation is the the little pebble slipped into the shoes of a believer.

Mt.5:29-30 "If thy right eye offend"

Literally Jesus challenges you with this statement so it must be understood the folly of reducing the word of God to nonsense. Reading with understanding is like holiness which lies outside your sphere of action. Reading is one thing and it can be read but understanding is supplied by the Spirit of God which gives life to the words. In the case of the two witnesses 'a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither." It is thus the words dead when the Spirit of God gives it life.(Rev.11.12-13). Before we go through the Mission Statement of the Kingdom know who is addressing. Jesus is there as the Word become flesh and he is declaring the doctrine he has herd from his Father's bosom. So we shall begin with a hard saying, Jesus said," without me ye can do nothing. Look at politics, which is the art of impossible that is made to look possible. It is like MAGA and you may shout yourself hoarse but Making America Great Again is not from the cesspool you wallow but is created by all citizens on their knees lifting their clean hands to God. Kingdoms of this world becoming kingdom of God only by an earthquake that shall throw all the wicked out of their comfort zone as God tells Job,"That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?"( Job 38.13)

Jesus did not please himself but he had a mandate from his Father," and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!". It is thus we have body fashioned from dust of the ground. Our 'dust jacket' must be translated into a glorious 'inheritance' not made with hands in heaven. "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?/ For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."((1 Cor.6.19-20)

Matthew 5:13

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

To properly understand we must always consider the source and the primary audience (Jews) at the Sermon on the Mount.

Summarized from a Creative Commons source, Baruch Korman:

We are familiar with salt to enhance taste and to preserve food. The meaning here is taken from it being forbidden to eat blood ( Genesis 9:4; Leviticus 3:17). After slaughter and hanging the meat to drain, it was salted to draw out the remaining blood. Once it was used it no longer would work and was thrown out. Likewise, being the "the salt of the earth" we have been given a purpose and if we do not serve the LORD of what use are we?

Concluding thoughts (hopefully) for today

I may have said this before; but the final stage of shall we say lifestyle aberrations will be no doubt man merging with AI. That; I would say has been in Satan's playbook since our society began to sink some time ago. Immortality as a delusion can already be found in the games kids are obsessed with (and sadly too many adults); where sexual immorality and violence are glorified and of course demonic entities are glorified. I would also guess that for all who are not in the Book of life to worship the Beast and take his mark everyone has their own delusion that is brought forth to satisfy. Immortality will no doubt be aided by the apparent resurrection of the A.C. at the midpoint of the Tribulation as they will all say "who can make war with him"? ( Rev. 13 someplace).

For those who are under the altar in Revelation 9; they will soon be joined by the rest of the martyrs and after that brought back to life for the Millennium rule along with us. The rest of the world; well sadly they will decay to the point where they attempt to fight Christ upon His return (as we see in Psalm 2 and Revelation 19). They would like to eliminate us no doubt but we will be in immortal and glorified bodies. It will be a strange time when those who survive into the Millennium and allowed to enter in flesh and blood bodies encounter us along with Christ in glorified bodies.

We know that this is coming; if you asked me when becoming a new believer in 1982 I never would have guessed it would take this long. We dare not let these date setters deter us from preaching His soon and imminent return; as He could come today; tomorrow; next week or next month. IF He tarries of course we must remain vigilant with whatever strength we have in Him.

We know we shall be with Him in life or in death immediately.

Anyway; I appreciate everyone's patience; occasionally I feel the urge to discuss these end time matters.

Agape; Rich P

To all that be in Christ,

Let's have a discussion about the sins of mankind-when and how are they forgiven.

What saith the scripture?

Grace and Peace.

Eph.1.12-14 "Glory" (4 of 4)

Four gospels in the entire narrative prove that we are complete in Christ but what does it pitch beyond the earth to kingdom come? The woman who anointed Jesuswith the precious spikenard was 'everyman' who encapsulated the Covenant in seven days. This nameless woman proved for all time the mystery of the will of God the Father, the fellowship of God with Man.

"That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ"(v.12) Here in vv.13-14 what salvation would mean: "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,/Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. "Dispensationalist may want to be like the proverbial dog turning to his vomit, but the Holy Spirit is clear. Our inheritance is iin the light for which we have been sealed.

Jesus warned,"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."(Mt.6.21) God fashioned all hearts alike but trieth their works. In terms of your treasure is a manifestation if it is full of light or twilight. "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light./But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!"

Entering into the God's rest is no sweat."But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." (Jn.3.21) Without abiding in Christ what possible work of enduring quality can you do? "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."(Mt.6.21-24)

God sent his perfect gift who having conquered death is the captain of our salvation." crown of life"
