I would like to add to the truth Cait has given referencing Hebrews 12:18-23. For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
(For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
BUT YE ARE COME UNTO MOUNT SION, AND UNTO THE CITY OF THE LIVING GOD, THE ( HEAVENLY JERUSALEM, ) and to an innumerable company of angels,
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Notice the contrast. In Exodus 19:10-12. THE LORD TELL MOSES TO SANCTIFY THE PEOPLE AND TELL THEM TO WASH THERE CLOTHES, and bring them the third day, and they still couldn't touch the border of the law given mountain!!
In the Heavenly Jerusalem God don't wash garments, he gives new ones.
Zechariah 2:10-13.
Zechariah 3:1-9.
Ephesians 4:20-24.
Colossians 3:9-10.
Parallel-
Galatians 4:21-26. Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
WHICH THINGS ARE AN ALLEGORY: FOR THESE ARE THE TWO COVENANTS; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
BUT JERUSALEM WHICH IS ABOVE IS FREE, WHICH IS THE MOTHER OF US ALL.
if I understand correctly, Moses alone was permitted to approach God. This is about the great Majesty and holiness of God, how we, before Christ, stand naked before a holy righteous judge. Now under the gospel what a privilege we enjoy to have "boldness to enter the holiest by the blood of Jesus". Hallelujah!

Hebrews 9:10
Precious friends, since God is "not the author of Confusion" 1 Corinthians 14:33, Would He not "Have The Biblical Answer" to all The denominational Confusion {I found 10 'Different water baptismal traditions' today...}? Please Be Encouraged And Edified!
Part 1
{Borrowed from 12 baptisms "study"} ONE of Israel's various {divers} washings! Greek: Baptismos = Hebrews 9:10:
4. Levitical priesthood baptism Exodus 29:4Leviticus 8:6Numbers 8:7. This washing was The Second Requirement { The First being: "NO blemish!" Leviticus 21:21 }, in order to become a priest under the Law of Moses! Is this baptism in any way connected To baptism # 9?:
9. "water" baptism of repentance that John preached (Before The Cross), And Peter continued (After The Cross!), to preach! Matthew 3:5-6Mark 1:4Luke 3:3John 1:31Luke 7:29-30Acts 10:37Matthew 28:19Mark 16:16Acts 2:38Acts 22:16Ezekiel 36:25.
a) Does this baptism "save" anyone Luke 7:29-30?
b1) Is this baptism in any way "connected" to baptism # 4?
b2) Wasn't John preparing National Israel for God's Promise For them "to be a nation of priests unto God" Exodus 19:6?
b3) Was not The Second Requirement for priesthood induction, Washing? { may require re-review of baptism #4! }.
b4) Did not CHRIST And The Twelve "heal" everyone in Israel who came to them, in order to meet "The FIRST Requirement" For the priesthood, that Of "NO blemish!"? Matthew 4:24Acts 5:16 cp Leviticus 21:21
Semi - conclusion? God {has Not 10 baptismS Today, but ONLY} ONE Baptism = Confusion SOLVED! And "PEACE {Not Confusion} In ALL the churches!" 1 Corinthians 14:33 Amen? Link

Part II OR: Baptism Of Repentance For The Remission Of sins?:
God's Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided, 'Shows water' is NOT Under God's GRACE, Today:
(1) Prophecy/Law for ISRAEL: The Twelve 'Were Sent' to water baptize!
The TWO Main, of 12 baptisms =
A) water, For remission of sins/induction into Israeli "priesthood!" {separate "study" IF you wish...} ( Matthew 3:5-6Mark 1:4Luke 3:3John 1:31Luke 7:29-30Acts 10:37Matthew 28:19Mark 16:16Acts 2:38Acts 22:16Ezekiel 36:25John 18:35Exodus 19:6 ) +
B) WITH The Holy Spirit, Poured Out By CHRIST, for power, signs And wonders! ( Isaiah 44:3Matthew 3:11Mark 1:8Mark 16:17-18Luke 24:49Acts 2:17-18Acts 2:38Acts 8:15-17Acts 11:16 )
Prophecy/Law
Rightly Divided ( 2 Timothy 2:15 ) From Things That Differ!:
(2) Mystery/GRACE! = our "apostle to the Gentiles" for The Body Of CHRIST:
Paul 'Was Not Sent' to {water} baptize! Why Not?:
Today: 'Only ONE' Baptism = "BY" The ONE Spirit = God's OPERATION, Spiritually Identifying members In (The ONE Body Of) CHRIST!! ( Ephesians 4:5Colossians 2:12Galatians 3:27Romans 6:3-41 Corinthians 12:13 )
Thus, This ONE Baptism Is Performed, By God, Today, Under God's GRACE/MYSTERY Program, when the believer "confesses Jesus as Lord and Savior and believes that He died and rose again, and God Saves them" in the twinkling of an eye.
Thus, "water baptism" Is Scriptural, But Dispensationally, "was for the Previous Law/Prophecy Program" of God, For ISRAEL!
Conclusion, water baptism is Scriptural, but, TODAY, is UNdispensational! Amen?

Precious brother Chris. So glad you brought up: "'Law Administration' is difficult to comprehend when water baptism was not part of the Law to Israel (except concerning the priesthood as a ritual cleansing)." In regards to this, you may find the following "view of Israel's priesthood" Very Interesting - thanks for your careful/prayerful consideration:
{Borrowed from my 12 baptisms "study"}: ONE of Israel's various washings! Greek: Baptismos = ( Hebrews 9:10):
4. Levitical priesthood baptism ( Exodus 29:4) ( Leviticus 8:6) ( Numbers 8:7). This washing was The Second Requirement { The First being: "NO blemish!" ( Leviticus 21:21) }, in order to become a priest under the Law of Moses! Is this baptism in any way connected To baptism # 9?:
9. "water" baptism of repentance that John preached (Before The Cross), And Peter continued (After The Cross!), to preach! ( Matthew 3:5-6) ( Mark 1:4) ( Luke 3:3) ( John 1:31) ( Luke 7:29-30) ( Acts 10:37) ( Matthew 28:19) ( Mark 16:16) ( Acts 2:38) ( Acts 22:16) ( Ezekiel 36:25).
a) Does this baptism "save" anyone ( Luke 7:29-30?)?
b1) Is this baptism in any way "connected" to baptism # 4?
b2) Wasn't John preparing National Israel for God's Promise For them "to be a nation of priests unto God" ( Exodus 19:6!)?
b3) Was not The Second Requirement for priesthood induction, Washing? { may require re-review of baptism #4! }.
b4) Did not CHRIST And The Twelve "heal" everyone in Israel who came to them, in order to meet "The FIRST Requirement" For the priesthood, that Of "NO blemish!"? ( Matthew 4:24) ( Acts 5:16) compare: ( Leviticus 21:21)

Hi Paul. That phrase you quoted, that appears in verse 22 also, indicates what the LORD would do to anyone (whether priest or another), if they should overstep the bounds that He set for them. Only Moses & Aaron were entitled to approach God, at which time God would converse with Moses (Aaron might have been at the base of Mt. Sinai). That is why the people trembled, for it meant instant judgement & death for any disobedience.
I had studied this way back there but have remembered why I was awestruck over the Ark of the Covenant.
You see, when The Holy Spirit imparts a Rhema word to us, it doesn't all fall into place at once. You have to dig deep.
It's possible people will cry 'hoax or heretic" because of education, scientific studies, archaeology dogs. It means lots of money, paychecks, funding for building projects, hiring employees for all of it. The money wheel keeps turning.
God watches over His Word, is the bottom line.
Genesis 6:16, 9:9. Noah built an Ark. God made a covenant with Noah& the 7 other survivors of the flood; the creatures on the Ark.
Moses mother even made an ark to preserve Moses to fulfill his destiny and legacy.
Exodus 19:5 will blow off your flip flops!
Just read through Exodus and pinpoint verses on the Ark and Covenants. Put those words in the Search Box on this website. Num.3:31;
Deu.4:23, 4:31 & 5:3
Jesus Christ is the 3rd Ark. All born again people will be taken to heaven.
I think we're in a time when we must prefer what scripture says, over what people say from their flesh. Every thing a prophet says must come true to the letter. If it's from God, he will confirm it 100%. There are no apostles on earth now. If you want to study prophesy, there are many charts on google of how Jesus fulfilled every prophesy spoken, concerning Him. And ther are still some to be fulfilled yet.
Also prophesies concerning Israel. We must pray as Jesus asked us to: pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Pray for the scales to fall from their eyes and ears. Let's be people Jesus can count on. Let's do more Matthew 25:31-46. Do these things with your children.
May the Lord bless and keep us close to his heart.
Here's a verse that is widely debated. I think we can determine by looking at the description of her, and the series of events concerning her in Ch 12 and prophecies pointing to those events in the bible. "you'll need your bibles". VS 1, the description, "She was clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of 12 stars". If we go to Genesis 37:9-10. Joseph dreams and Jacob answers this one for us. Now compare the events in prophecy to Revelation 12. VS 2, She's travailing in birth pains, Isaiah 54:1-5. Is 66:7, ( BEFORE SHE TRAVAILED, SHE BROUGHT FORTH; BEFORE HER PAIN CAME, SHE BROUGHT FORTH A MAN CHILD.) Also look at Micah 4:10, and Micah 5:2-4. Revelation 12:14 say she was given 2 wings of a eagle, a phrase the Lord uses throughout the bible concerning Israel, Exodus 19:4' Isaiah 40:27-31. Deuteronomy 32:10-11. Look at Paul concerning the Israelites in Romans 9:5, "Whose are the fathers, and whom as concerning the flesh Christ came. THE WOMAN IS ISRAEL, Not the church. The church did not exist until after the child was born died on the cross raised the third day went to the father then gave the Holy Spirit to the believers. Thank you.
There are two Azubahs (which means, 'deserted') mentioned in the Bible: 1 Kings 22:42, here she is the wife of King Asa & they had a son, Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat became king after his father.
In 1 Chronicles 2:18, we see another Azubah, & she was the wife of Caleb. This is not the same Caleb of Numbers 13, as he was one of the twelve selected by Moses to search out the Land of Promise before entering & conquering it.
Otherwise, there isn't any further history on these Azubahs.
Now paradise is not Heaven even though it is like Heaven. A place where we will be judged and get rewards, like a way point, then from there we go to Heaven.
Thank you for your comments. The truth is the truth no matter what man had to say about it. I should've have said the Son of Man "comes" not Jesus. I'm curious about "children and the building of a city establish a man's name". That's just one tiny verse that speaks of the coming kingdom. One day we will be named Israel. And one day Elijah will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, before the day of the Lord "comes".
If your faith and love is so strong for the Lord and his word that you commit your life to honoring him. Whether you're right or wrong in your interpretation, God knows his people.
GETTING CONFIRMATION on teachings - In Reply on Exodus 19 - 5 years ago
Everybody reads and may interpret scripture differently. That's why I read the Commentary on this website. Also, I Google "Bible Commentary____scripture______"
And the google search engine goes and fetches what I want to investigate.
Then select a KJV commentator to read his take on that scripture. In the mouth of many, the Bible truth should be established: what points people agree on.
It's like how it would be if we were quizzing all 12 Apostles plus Paul. Everyone saw the same thing but wrote it identical but from their point of view with their experience with Jesus and through the Light of revelation through the Holy Spirit. He always testifies of Jesus Christ.
By reading many Commentaries you glean the best part of each one. ALWAYs ask the Holy Spirit to CONFIRM the Word of Truth.
That's how I do it. Chris does too.
If I hear something sorta wild, I go get it confirmed by scripture and read a lot on it before I open my mouth. Some things I don't respond to because I already did. It's back in the history pages somewhere.
Sometimes I think people are scared of commentaries? It's a helps book. Every year at Back-to-school sales; I go get a half dozen notebooks to scribble notes and teachings in.
I hardly watch television anymore. It's all cotton candy programming. :D
I would like to add to the truth Cait has given referencing Hebrews 12:18-23. For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:

And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
BUT YE ARE COME UNTO MOUNT SION, AND UNTO THE CITY OF THE LIVING GOD, THE ( HEAVENLY JERUSALEM, ) and to an innumerable company of angels,
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Notice the contrast. In Exodus 19:10-12. THE LORD TELL MOSES TO SANCTIFY THE PEOPLE AND TELL THEM TO WASH THERE CLOTHES, and bring them the third day, and they still couldn't touch the border of the law given mountain!!
In the Heavenly Jerusalem God don't wash garments, he gives new ones.
Zechariah 2:10-13.
Zechariah 3:1-9.
Ephesians 4:20-24.
Colossians 3:9-10.
Parallel-
Galatians 4:21-26. Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
WHICH THINGS ARE AN ALLEGORY: FOR THESE ARE THE TWO COVENANTS; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
BUT JERUSALEM WHICH IS ABOVE IS FREE, WHICH IS THE MOTHER OF US ALL.
Romans 8:3-4.
A general area to study in.
Hopefully someone will add.
God bless.
in front of our Father with no sense of sin guilt or condemnation in him Christ. Terrific time to be living!

Hebrews 13:17,
Hopefully these are helpful to understand more fully the reason.
Precious friends, since God is "not the author of Confusion" 1 Corinthians 14:33, Would He not "Have The Biblical Answer" to all The denominational Confusion {I found 10 'Different water baptismal traditions' today...}? Please Be Encouraged And Edified!
Part 1
{Borrowed from 12 baptisms "study"} ONE of Israel's various {divers} washings! Greek: Baptismos = Hebrews 9:10:
4. Levitical priesthood baptism Exodus 29:4 Leviticus 8:6 Numbers 8:7. This washing was The Second Requirement { The First being: "NO blemish!" Leviticus 21:21 }, in order to become a priest under the Law of Moses! Is this baptism in any way connected To baptism # 9?:
9. "water" baptism of repentance that John preached (Before The Cross), And Peter continued (After The Cross!), to preach! Matthew 3:5-6 Mark 1:4 Luke 3:3 John 1:31 Luke 7:29-30 Acts 10:37 Matthew 28:19 Mark 16:16 Acts 2:38 Acts 22:16 Ezekiel 36:25.
a) Does this baptism "save" anyone Luke 7:29-30?
b1) Is this baptism in any way "connected" to baptism # 4?
b2) Wasn't John preparing National Israel for God's Promise For them "to be a nation of priests unto God" Exodus 19:6?
b3) Was not The Second Requirement for priesthood induction, Washing? { may require re-review of baptism #4! }.
b4) Did not CHRIST And The Twelve "heal" everyone in Israel who came to them, in order to meet "The FIRST Requirement" For the priesthood, that Of "NO blemish!"? Matthew 4:24 Acts 5:16 cp Leviticus 21:21
Semi - conclusion? God {has Not 10 baptismS Today, but ONLY} ONE Baptism = Confusion SOLVED! And "PEACE {Not Confusion} In ALL the churches!" 1 Corinthians 14:33 Amen? Link

God's Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided, 'Shows water' is NOT Under God's GRACE, Today:
(1) Prophecy/Law for ISRAEL: The Twelve 'Were Sent' to water baptize!
The TWO Main, of 12 baptisms =
A) water, For remission of sins/induction into Israeli "priesthood!" {separate "study" IF you wish...} ( Matthew 3:5-6 Mark 1:4 Luke 3:3 John 1:31 Luke 7:29-30 Acts 10:37 Matthew 28:19 Mark 16:16 Acts 2:38 Acts 22:16 Ezekiel 36:25 John 18:35 Exodus 19:6 ) +
B) WITH The Holy Spirit, Poured Out By CHRIST, for power, signs And wonders! ( Isaiah 44:3 Matthew 3:11 Mark 1:8 Mark 16:17-18 Luke 24:49 Acts 2:17-18 Acts 2:38 Acts 8:15-17 Acts 11:16 )
Prophecy/Law
Rightly Divided ( 2 Timothy 2:15 ) From Things That Differ!:
(2) Mystery/GRACE! = our "apostle to the Gentiles" for The Body Of CHRIST:
Paul 'Was Not Sent' to {water} baptize! Why Not?:
Today: 'Only ONE' Baptism = "BY" The ONE Spirit = God's OPERATION, Spiritually Identifying members In (The ONE Body Of) CHRIST!! ( Ephesians 4:5 Colossians 2:12 Galatians 3:27 Romans 6:3-4 1 Corinthians 12:13 )
--------------------------------------------------
Thus, This ONE Baptism Is Performed, By God, Today, Under God's GRACE/MYSTERY Program, when the believer "confesses Jesus as Lord and Savior and believes that He died and rose again, and God Saves them" in the twinkling of an eye.
Thus, "water baptism" Is Scriptural, But Dispensationally, "was for the Previous Law/Prophecy Program" of God, For ISRAEL!
Conclusion, water baptism is Scriptural, but, TODAY, is UNdispensational! Amen?

You see, when The Holy Spirit imparts a Rhema word to us, it doesn't all fall into place at once. You have to dig deep.
It's possible people will cry 'hoax or heretic" because of education, scientific studies, archaeology dogs. It means lots of money, paychecks, funding for building projects, hiring employees for all of it. The money wheel keeps turning.
God watches over His Word, is the bottom line.
Genesis 6:16, 9:9. Noah built an Ark. God made a covenant with Noah& the 7 other survivors of the flood; the creatures on the Ark.
Moses mother even made an ark to preserve Moses to fulfill his destiny and legacy.
Exodus 19:5 will blow off your flip flops!
Just read through Exodus and pinpoint verses on the Ark and Covenants. Put those words in the Search Box on this website. Num.3:31;
Deu.4:23, 4:31 & 5:3
Jesus Christ is the 3rd Ark. All born again people will be taken to heaven.
I think we're in a time when we must prefer what scripture says, over what people say from their flesh. Every thing a prophet says must come true to the letter. If it's from God, he will confirm it 100%. There are no apostles on earth now. If you want to study prophesy, there are many charts on google of how Jesus fulfilled every prophesy spoken, concerning Him. And ther are still some to be fulfilled yet.
Also prophesies concerning Israel. We must pray as Jesus asked us to: pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Pray for the scales to fall from their eyes and ears. Let's be people Jesus can count on. Let's do more Matthew 25:31-46. Do these things with your children.
May the Lord bless and keep us close to his heart.
Here's a verse that is widely debated. I think we can determine by looking at the description of her, and the series of events concerning her in Ch 12 and prophecies pointing to those events in the bible. "you'll need your bibles". VS 1, the description, "She was clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of 12 stars". If we go to Genesis 37:9-10. Joseph dreams and Jacob answers this one for us. Now compare the events in prophecy to Revelation 12. VS 2, She's travailing in birth pains, Isaiah 54:1-5. Is 66:7, ( BEFORE SHE TRAVAILED, SHE BROUGHT FORTH; BEFORE HER PAIN CAME, SHE BROUGHT FORTH A MAN CHILD.) Also look at Micah 4:10, and Micah 5:2-4. Revelation 12:14 say she was given 2 wings of a eagle, a phrase the Lord uses throughout the bible concerning Israel, Exodus 19:4' Isaiah 40:27-31. Deuteronomy 32:10-11. Look at Paul concerning the Israelites in Romans 9:5, "Whose are the fathers, and whom as concerning the flesh Christ came. THE WOMAN IS ISRAEL, Not the church. The church did not exist until after the child was born died on the cross raised the third day went to the father then gave the Holy Spirit to the believers. Thank you.
Prophet of tiny faith
Be well.
Jesus loves you
Bema judgement of Christians for rewards or crowns, or no rewards.
Great White Throne Judgement.
Satan and the false prophet will be first to go to hell. For 1000 years. Then only satan is released a short time,
In 1 Chronicles 2:18, we see another Azubah, & she was the wife of Caleb. This is not the same Caleb of Numbers 13, as he was one of the twelve selected by Moses to search out the Land of Promise before entering & conquering it.
Otherwise, there isn't any further history on these Azubahs.
If your faith and love is so strong for the Lord and his word that you commit your life to honoring him. Whether you're right or wrong in your interpretation, God knows his people.
We're saved by grace from true faith.
Spread love and teach forgiveness.
Amen
And the google search engine goes and fetches what I want to investigate.
Then select a KJV commentator to read his take on that scripture. In the mouth of many, the Bible truth should be established: what points people agree on.
It's like how it would be if we were quizzing all 12 Apostles plus Paul. Everyone saw the same thing but wrote it identical but from their point of view with their experience with Jesus and through the Light of revelation through the Holy Spirit. He always testifies of Jesus Christ.
By reading many Commentaries you glean the best part of each one. ALWAYs ask the Holy Spirit to CONFIRM the Word of Truth.
That's how I do it. Chris does too.
If I hear something sorta wild, I go get it confirmed by scripture and read a lot on it before I open my mouth. Some things I don't respond to because I already did. It's back in the history pages somewhere.
Sometimes I think people are scared of commentaries? It's a helps book. Every year at Back-to-school sales; I go get a half dozen notebooks to scribble notes and teachings in.
I hardly watch television anymore. It's all cotton candy programming. :D
