    Jer.17.1 "Sin" (1 of 2)

    "The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;"

    As conclusion to the priestly garments the office of Aaron was under the law of sin and death. No better example we can have than the two onyx stones "Six of their names on one stone, and the other six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth./ With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave."(Exod.28.9-11) . Law of sin and death was indicated by the Law of Moses and the Decalogue. What was the sin of Judah? Law ofthe Spirit set all heavenly blessings andof the earth,"The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come,"-Gen.49.10). Israel's rejection of the king that God had in mind and choice of Saul for a king showed a slippery path, cutting of Israel's blessing, and theAaron's office was a testimony to it.

    The Word was God and the Word became flesh, the command number Four in the priestly garments testified Aaron stood in relation to Melchizedk 'but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.'The golden altar with four horns proclaims, east,west,north south the order of Melcizedk ('King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;'-Heb.7.2) establishes the Law of the Spirit. "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death/ For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:/That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."(Rom.8.2-4)

    The Covenant in seven days set forth in the very outset of the Bible sets the Law of the Spirit. This accepts whosoever comes to God is accepted in the Son
