GOD's Physical Visitation
(Page 11)
Ecclesiastes 12:13
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God,
and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
The name Messiah became used by religious leaders to attach and use as a name that the Nation could use to name the Holy One which the LORD did plan to use to fulfill His Promises to the Nation. The LORD had not given a Name to, even though the Holy One and Messiah were one and the same. The use of the name Messiah would and did lessen the Nation's ability to recognize and fully see that it would be the LORD Himself (I Will- Amos 4:12) who would Personally fulfill His made Promises!
Amos 4:12 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
The name Messiah has only been used by Daniel in all of scripture, and initially came from the name Massah (Deuteronomy 33:8), where Moses named the place where the children of Israel (who tempted thy Holy One- the LORD) through their lack of Faith. They did cause for Moses to strike a rock to produce the water that would save them from thirst at the waters of Massah. The Nation's religious leaders would later devise the word Messiah to describe, and tell the Nations of the prophesied Holy One who would be Israel's Liberator that would save her from her enemies, yet did overlook that the same Holy One (the LORD) would be used to bless all the families of the earth (Genesis 12:3, Genesis 18:17-18, Genesis 28:14, Luke 2:32).
Deuteronomy 33:8 And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Genesis 18:17-18 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Genesis 28:14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Luke 2:32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Genesis 18:17-18 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Genesis 28:14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Luke 2:32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
The LORD made known (2 Kings 16:3), that the sons of the religious leaders continued to allow their views to become influenced by the glories of the heathen. They had adopted views of their Messiah as resembling heathen views of their savior coming unto their nations.
2 Kings 16:3 But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel.
The LORD said to inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah (Isaiah 5:3) to judge between Himself and His taught Good and Righteousness put forth in His Covenant, the Ten Commandments, that would fulfill His made Promise to Abraham, as opposed to following the views of what His Good and Righteousness was that His vineyard, Israel, had been taught by the religious leaders and the views attached to their teaching of Messiah, Good and Righteousness to the Nation (which would not fulfill His made Promise to Abraham).
Isaiah 5:3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
The LORD had made known (Psalms 80:14) that He would Personally fulfill His made Promise to Abraham through the bloodline of David's produced heritage. The LORD referred to their Nation as being the Vine of David, and not the Messiah through David's heritage.
Psalms 80:14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
The LORD said (Isaiah 5:1-2) He had a "wellbeloved" (the LORD being Messiah) who would touch His vineyard (come unto His vineyard, Israel). "He fenced" His vineyard with the protection of His Good and Righteousness, and "gathered out the stones thereof" (His use of the wilderness to gather out all those members of their Nation that had been, or would have been a problem in learning the LORD's Good), and "planted it with the choicest vine", the Good and Righteousness of His Ten Commandments, and "built a tower in midst" to fulfill His made Promise to Abraham.
Isaiah 5:1-2 Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
The LORD said (Isaiah 5:4) unto His vineyard Israel, "What could have been done more to His vineyard, that I have not done in it?" (in His performing of Good works) "wherefore, when I looked" (when His wellbeloved, the LORD being Messiah did come unto His vineyard Israel) that it should bring forth grapes to reflect the Great things of His Good which He taught in His vineyard, Israel, it only had "brought forth wild grapes?" reflecting the views of good that the heathen taught to their Nation's People).
Isaiah 5:4 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
The LORD does Personally establish the Glory of His Being amongst His Chosen People in the Physical Visitation of Himself being Jesus Christ, to perform yet one more Miracle among His Chosen People where He, the Lord God, (John 10:30) did fulfill His Promise made to Abraham (John 8:56, John 8:58). The blessing of all the families on the earth through Abraham's heritage, in accordance to given scripture (Isaiah 9:6).
John 10:30 I and my Father are one.
John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
The Human Birth (Matthew 1:1-17) of a Human Child in which the LORD's Spirit did indwell (John 10:30) to fulfill His Promise given Abraham (John 8:56). The Lord (Jesus Christ) not only undertook many Miracles (John 9:32, John 11:47, John 12:37) in their Nation, but taught scriptures that their Nation could use to validate Old Testament records of His coming unto their Nation. John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

John 12:37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
The religious leaders had blindly caused for them to expect and look for a Redeemer and Messiah that would come to the Nation differently than the LORD made known, and was undertaking within their Nation (Lamentations 2:14). This resulted in many of Israel's People to follow the religious leaders lack of faith (Jeremiah 32:27, Matthew 15:14) and reject the LORD's Truth (John 8:40), and the Glory of the LORD's Good and Righteousness (John 10:32) becoming Physically Manifested by the LORD Himself being Jesus Christ. This was done to let the entire Nation Physically See the LORD God of Israel, Who introduced Himself unto Abraham, (John 8:58, John 8:56), and Who Jacob Physically saw (Genesis 33:10), being Physically sighted in/by their Nation as Jesus Christ (Luke 2:31, John 14:9).

The LORD God in Human Form (Jesus Christ) as Messiah does Physically fulfilled His made Promise to Abraham in (Matthew 1:1-17) and through (Psalms 80:14) His usage of the Vine of David (John 15:5).

John 10:30 I and my Father are one.

The LORD God in Human Form (Jesus Christ) as Messiah does make known that in Physically fulfilling His made Promise to Abraham ("in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed" Genesis 12:3), He will be "a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel" (Luke 2:32). And that Glory will show the Gentiles (Matthew 12:21) if the Chosen People are following the Glory of the LORD's Good and Righteous pathways, or if they are failing in following the Glory of the LORD's Good and Righteous pathways (Matthew 7:17, Mark 10:33), and the Gentiles will judge them, so they may learn from their ways and doings that they may gain blessings from the LORD (Ezekiel 24:14).
Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

The LORD God does use the Glory and Power of His Word to create a Physical Body for Himself:
• For ALL to physically see He does exist!
• For ALL to physically see His Good and Righteousness!
• For ALL to physically see and learn the correct Way to God, His Good and Righteousness (because the Chosen Nation's People failed to do so)!
• For ALL to physically see His Love, His Godliness, His Redemption, His Salvation, the Resurrection, and how to overcome sin with His Good and Righteousness!
• For ALL to physically see sin, the lies, and deception it offers, and the depth of its destruction within the Lord's crucifixion!
• For ALL to physically see His Good and Righteousness!
• For ALL to physically see and learn the correct Way to God, His Good and Righteousness (because the Chosen Nation's People failed to do so)!
• For ALL to physically see His Love, His Godliness, His Redemption, His Salvation, the Resurrection, and how to overcome sin with His Good and Righteousness!
• For ALL to physically see sin, the lies, and deception it offers, and the depth of its destruction within the Lord's crucifixion!
The usage of Messiah is only mentioned within the Old Testament scriptures two times through Daniel, and its reference by the LORD became recorded twice within New Testament scriptures after His fulfilling His Promised Visit to Israel Physically as Jesus Christ.
Daniel 9:25-26 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Mark 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Mark 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
The LORD God does cause such to become written as such within both of the Testaments to let individuals who readeth understand what does lay in store for the future of the Chosen Nation's People, if Israel's Nation does not repent from their blindness.
• Toward things of Good and Righteousness that God had done within Israel that became recorded in scriptures, which their religious leaders did choose to either not teach, ignore, misrepresent, overlook, and distort in ways that would lead the Nation's People to not realize what Good and Righteous God had actually done within and for Israel's blessings.
Lamentations 2:14 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.
• Towards the many Good and Righteous things that GOD had done in His Power and Word on earth as the LORD (Israel's God), that became recorded in scriptures, which their religious leaders did choose to either not teach, ignore, misrepresent, overlook, and distort in ways, that would lead Israel's People to not recognize that the LORD their God created the Physical Human body of Jesus Christ, so that He could Personally Visit Israel in a way so Israel could see and hear physically what Good and Righteous things that they had been blinded to in scriptures, and taught to ignore, misrepresent, overlook, and distort by their religious leaders.
Lamentations 4:13 For the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her,
Lamentations 5:7 Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.
Lamentations 5:7 Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.
Because Israel had chosen to follow their own view of Messiah, rather than the view of their Savior and Messiah as recorded in scriptures, so would the time frame from the going forth of the commandment to restore, and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince, be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks.
Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
Because Israel had chosen to follow their own view of Messiah, rather than the view of their Savior and Messiah as recorded in scriptures, and because of their blindness towards their Savior and Messiah Jesus Christ, so would the commandment (John 10:18) to build Israel's wall around the Covenant, the Ten Commandments become built in troublous times (Luke 13:35, Luke 21:2).
Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
John 10:18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
Luke 13:35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Luke 21:2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.

Luke 13:35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Luke 21:2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
After threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off (crucified), but not for himself, which is related to the period of time that there is a growth throughout the earth concerning God, His Good and Righteousness becoming spread and popular through teachings of the Messiah (Jesus Christ), which did cause for a great following of people to successfully grow, but eventually they chose to return to their previous heathen ways of folly (Proverbs 26:11), to cut-off the Messiah (Jesus Christ).
Daniel 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Proverbs 26:11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
Proverbs 26:11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
The people of Messiah the Prince (Jesus Christ) that cut Him off shall come, and shall destroy the city and the sanctuary they once beheld, as the times of the Gentiles becomes fulfilled (Luke 21:24).
Daniel 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Luke 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Luke 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
The end thereof shall be an unexpected flood (Matthew 24:37-39), because of those upon the earth which cut-off the Messiah (Jesus Christ). They will return to their own vomit (2 Peter 2:22). They even choose an end filled with war which is determined to bring desolations upon Israel (Matthew 24:15), to hide their failures in cutting-off of the Lord. Something Israel had never actually done even in all their failures.
Daniel 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined
Matthew 24:37-39 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:37-39 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
The corner stone (foundation stone) is utmost important to any structure, because all other stones, or structure will be set in place to this stone.
The corner stone is usually one of the largest, the most solid, and the most carefully constructed of any structure.
The corner stone will determine the strength and position of the entire structure. The whole structure will rest upon the corner stone.
The LORD's Corner Stone (Foundation) of His Kingdom is His Good and Righteousness!
The LORD does use the Glory and Power of His Word to create a Physical Body for Himself as the Vehicle, and Corner Stone for His Salvation that saves from the destructiveness of sin, to gain for Himself Sons of God!
Isaiah 8:14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
1 Peter 2:4-8 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

The Stone the Ten Commandments were written on, is the Corner Stone! The Corner Stone (Foundation) of God's Good and Righteousness (Isaiah 28:16-17)!
God's Good and Righteousness is the Knowledge of God!
Jesus Christ Is God, His Good and Righteousness in Flesh!
Jesus Christ Is God's Good and Righteousness, that is the Chief Corner Stone on earth (1 Corinthians 3:11, Ephesians 2:20)!
Isaiah 28:16-17 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock (God's Good) I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
1 Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock (God's Good) I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
1 Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
The Chosen Nation's religious leaders and members refused the LORD's written Good and Righteousness (Ten Commandments- Corner Stone), and then rejected the LORD God's Physically Good (Jesus Christ- Corner Stone)! You can give all kinds of excuses when you refuse something, but to reject is an action that offers no excuse.
Psalms 118:22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

The religious leaders lead the Chosen People to look for a Messiah rather than a Saviour! In their blindness, they could not see their need for a Saviour within their continual sacrificing for sin. The People were not taught to walking in, and obey the LORD God's Good and Righteousness (the Ten Commandments), which would help them overcome sin, leaving no need to sacrifice, or the 603 Mosaic Judgments!
Isaiah 43:24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins (serve God with their sins, rather than His Good and Righteousness), thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.

Sin also became associated and connected to the Jewish Holidays because of their sacrificing!Ezekiel 21:24 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered (through sacrifice), in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
NO!!
Many individuals choose to continually sacrifice in their playing and sleeping with sin.
Their sacrificing is not of animals today, but of the Lord Jesus (Hebrews 6:6).
They believe they can attain forgiveness with no heartfelt remorse and repentance.
They have no heartfelt desire to overcome sin.
This type of attitude will bring on their own destruction and demise with gnashing of teeth.
Like the Chosen Nation's People, individuals heed not to the warnings set forth by the LORD!
Many individuals do not understand in truly following in the Creator's Footsteps (Jesus Christ), they must
also fulfill the LORD's Good and Righteousness... the Ten Commandments (Galatians 5:22, Ephesians 5:9)!
Keeping eyes on Jesus Christ is to keep one's eyes on the LORD's Good and Righteousness at all times!
To be in Christ, is to be in the LORD's Good and Righteousness!
To have Christ within you, is to have the LORD's Good and Righteousness within you!
The LORD Is Good and Righteous!
The LORD's Good and Righteousness did Physically Visit the inhabitants of earth
as an Example for them to follow to successfully become a Son of God!

In this believing that they do not have to overcome sin, nor repent from all sin which they committed after being saved, that they would be ignoring the gate of repentance that is the strait gate that leads them to being saved, and also keeps them upon the road to the Kingdom of Heaven, to which many lukewarm individuals will seek to enter into Heaven, yet shall not be able to (Luke 13:24), because they have distorted their belief upon that Name of Jesus Christ!

True-to-faith Sons of God do reflect and represent God, His Good and Righteousness with all their being!
God did Physically Visit man of earth as a Son of God Himself.
He Physically walked and talked with man, as He Planned and Promised, to
show and teach them of His Pure and Holy Good, His Love, His Salvation,
His Redemption, the Resurrection, and how to overcome sin!
