GOD's Physical Visitation (Page 9)
Exodus 34:28
The LORD God was making known in scriptures of His shown forth Laws of Judgments (603 Mosaic laws- Exodus 21:1) which He caused for Moses to write down (Exodus 24:3-4). After Moses died, the religious leaders strived to make sacrifice out of all the Judgments given to Moses as the focal point of their teaching and guidance of the Nation. Rather than believing God could do anything (Genesis 18:14, Jeremiah 32:27) they felt that they needed something visually strong to fill the void of Moses' death to hold the Nation together.
Exodus 21:1 Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
Exodus 24:3-4 And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do. And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. Genesis 18:14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. Jeremiah 32:27 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? The religious leaders attached much of their views and teachings of God's Good more to the sacrifice for sin. They had allowed themselves to ignore those depths that He had attached His Good to from the very beginning of scripture.
Genesis 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
The LORD did show His Good unto the Chosen Nation from the very beginning, so they could Trust in His Good, and the Name of the LORD (Psalms 34:8) being tied to, attached to, and linked to His Power.Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. Genesis 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Psalms 34:8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
• The LORD's Power that was used to create all the things which do make-up the entirety of all that exists (Isaiah 37:16). The LORD does not allow His Glory of being the Creator of everything become attached to or linked to any individual, being, creature, or thing He'd already physically created on the earth (Isaiah 42:8).
Isaiah 37:16 O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.
Isaiah 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
• The LORD's Power He uses to bring a clean thing out of an unclean thing (Job 14:4, Psalms 19:12). The LORD does not allow the Glory of His Being and Power become attached to or linked to any individual, being, creature, or thing He'd already physically created on the earth (Isaiah 42:8).
Job 14:4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
Psalms 19:12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. Isaiah 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
• The LORD's Power that holds the ability of all knowledge (Ecclesiastes 7:24) Goodness (Proverbs 20:6), Peace (Psalms 29:11), Sinlessness (Job 5:24), Righteousness (Psalms 71:19), Purity (Proverbs 20:9).
He does not allow the Glory of His Being and Power become attached to or linked to any individual, being, creature, or thing He'd already physically created on the earth (Isaiah 42:8).
Ecclesiastes 7:24 That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?
Proverbs 20:6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find? Psalms 29:11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace. Job 5:24 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin. Psalms 71:19 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee! Proverbs 20:9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin? Isaiah 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. The LORD God does Personally create (John 1:13) one more Miracle among His Chosen People, where He comes from Heaven (John 6:38) to Visit them in the Human Form as Jesus Christ, so that they can Physically see His Personal Glory of Good, Knowledge, Peace, Sinlessness, Purity, and Righteousness, which allows Him to Personally make the sacrifice He did Promise (Ezekiel 39:17) that would eliminate forever, the need to sacrifice fowl and beasts for a sin.
John 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
In the LORD's ability to have created all things that have ever physical existed in Heavens and on the earth, He did plan to manifest Himself Personally unto His Chosen Nation within a Human Body that He Specially created (John 1:13) to Physically house His Spirit when He came down from Heaven to do GOD's Will (John 6:38), as well as anything else which was needed to be done. The reality and fact is, no man (especially wayward) could ever do it... only an Omniscient Creator of His creativity!John 6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. Ezekiel 39:17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. (Luke 23:33, 1 Corinthians 11:27)
Psalms 78:41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
Numbers 11:23 And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD'S hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not. Jeremiah 32:27 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. The LORD God made a covenant with His Chosen Nation through His choosing of Abraham. Abraham did obey His voice, kept His charge, His commandments, His statutes, and laws before they were even given to Moses and the Israelites (Genesis 26:5).
Genesis 26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
The Chosen People were suppose to be taught by their religious leaders of the things in scripture concerning His Promise and Covenant of Commandments. The LORD did use Abraham first as an example (Genesis 26:5) to know and follow His Good, and then through Moses He did reinforce His Covenant with His writing of His Covenant upon tables of stone with His finger.
Exodus 31:18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
When the LORD established within a written form His Commandments, His statutes, and Laws (Exodus 34:28), the Nation's religious leaders sought to blindly teach the Nation their own view of His use of Moses in establishing His Commandments. The religious leaders did blindly teach to the degree where they did ignore scriptural records. They did promote views in the Nation of there being no difference between the two Tables of Stone (Exodus 34:28) which the LORD Himself had written His Covenant (Ten Commandments) of His Good upon, and His commanded Judgments (603 which included sacrifice) Moses wrote down (Exodus 21:1, Exodus 24:3-4). They did cause for the meat of the Ten Commandments to not be salted (Leviticus 2:13) with the things of His Good, as He had Promised to Abraham. (Exodus chapters 24-31)
Exodus 34:28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
Exodus 34:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.
Exodus 21:1 Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
Exodus 24:3-4 And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do. And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. Leviticus 2:13 And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.
• The religious leaders were ignoring the fact that Moses had come down from Mount Sinai the first time to tell the People of the LORD's words (Exodus 21:1) and Judgments (603-which included sacrifice) made known to him, and to write them down (Exodus 24:3-4) as was recorded in (Exodus chapter 24-31).
Exodus 21:1 Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
Exodus 24:3-4 And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do. And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
• The religious leaders were ignoring the fact that Moses had come down from mount Sinai before the LORD had written His Covenant of the Ten Commandments of Law on tablets with His Finger (Exodus 31:18), to make known to the People His Commandments of Law, as recorded in (Exodus 19:21).
Exodus 31:18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
Exodus 19:21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
• The religious leaders were ignoring the fact that Moses had then returned to the top of mount Sinai a second time, to receive from the LORD the two Tables of Stone which He had written (Exodus 31:18) upon to be His Covenant for, and of His Good known as the Ten Commandments of Law (Exodus 34:28).
Exodus 31:18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
Exodus 34:28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
• The religious leaders were ignoring the fact that when Moses came down for the last time from Mount Sinai to display the two Tables of Stone which He had received from the LORD, Moses became angry at sighting the idolatry and sacrifice that the religious leaders had allowed to take place, even as the LORD was writing His Ten Commandment (Exodus 31:18), which Moses cast down from the Mount to be broken into pieces (Exodus 32:19).
Exodus 31:18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
Exodus 32:19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount. The LORD's Covenant, the Ten Commandments is the Covenant of salt which gives the flavor and strength to Salvation.
Numbers 18:19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.
The Ten Commandments (Covenant of salt) is the rock that gives Salvation its strength for overcoming sin.The 603 Mosaic Laws of Judgments is not the LORD's Covenant. The Laws of Judgments was given before the Covenant (Ten Commandments) was given. The Laws of Judgments were given because of the things the Chosen Nation's People were already doing in error to break the Ten Commandments.
Exodus 21:1 Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
Exodus 31:18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God. Exodus 34:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest. Exodus 34:28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments. Animal sacrifice was not meant to be a long term application by the High Priest FOR Himself and the People. Blood Sacrifice for sin was initiated for the religious leaders to teach the Chosen Nation's People two (2) important facts concerning sin. -1- Sin does cause death, and sin can only be paid with death (no sin, then no need for payment). -2- To sight the severity of sin. Unfortunately, the religious leaders did not teach the Chosen Nation's People to sight the severity of sin when killing animals for sin. They taught no mercy. They caused individuals to become desensitized to sin and death, to the point most of the time they used a very dull knife for sacrifice.
Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
The Chosen Nation's People trusted their religious leaders because they did not have access to scriptures like individuals do today, the scriptures remained in the hands of the religious leaders.
Psalms 50:8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
Blood sacrificing was never intended for People to sacrifice for their own sin. The religious leaders failed to teach the People how to overcome sin through the Ten Commandments, but instead, for power and greed the religious leaders forced the People themselves to continually sacrifice for sin, even when they were Good.
Leviticus 9:7 And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.
Hebrews 7:27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. Hebrews 9:6-7 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: Hebrews 13:10-12 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. The religious leaders were suppose to teach the Chosen Nation's People to sight their sin, and teach them how to overcome sin (free their selves from the burdens of sin), not to accept they are sinners. They were not to teach the People to become dependent on sacrificing for forgiveness. They became so dependent on sacrifice for forgiveness they lost sight of Whom truly forgives.
Psalms 3:8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
Only the LORD God can forgive, not an animal sacrifice. Psalms 130:4 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
Hebrews 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
God only forgives a contrite heart. A contrite heart does not continue, or even exist where sin is waiting to make the next sacrifice to be right with God. The overcoming of sin with righteousness, and God's Good (Ten Commandments) does make one upright in the eyes of God!
Psalms 11:7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
Individuals today also are not being taught to truly sight the severity and destructivenness of sin, which can be sighted at the Cross (GOD's sacrifice), nor are they taught the importance of a contrite heart in seeking God's forgiveness. The religious leaders were teaching the Chosen Nation to serve God with sin and sacrifice, rather than teaching of true repentance, and of God's Good, so that they would serve Him with Goodness within His Covenant of Good, the Ten Commandments!
Malachi 2:1-7 And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it. And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name. The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity. For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.
The religious leaders chose to teach their Nation the Judgments of law concerning blood sacrifices for sin (Isaiah 28:18) as being equal to the Covenant founded on God's Good (the Ten Commandments). A Covenant built upon Righteousness (Isaiah 42:6), so the laws of Judgment for sin that needs sacrifice to Redeem them is eliminated, and their Nation can see and undertake the use of a Covenant reflecting God's Good. Because blood sacrifices for sin became taught to the Nation more than the learning to abide in Good, the LORD God does fulfill His Promise made to Abraham, and makes a New Covenant of Good (Jeremiah 31:31). A New Physical Covenant for All mankind to see, relate to, and follow.
Isaiah 28:18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
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 in Personally fulfilling His made Promise unto Abraham Himself (Ezekiel 24:14).Isaiah 42:6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; Jeremiah 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Ezekiel 24:14 I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.
• The LORD God's Physical Being, Jesus Christ, does tell and show the religious leaders how they had led (Matthew 15:14) the Nation to sin through their continual sacrifice that did make individuals view and become desensitized to sin, through relegating His given written Covenant, the Ten Commandments (Luke 11:52) to an equal or lesser standard in the eyes and understanding of the Nation (Matthew 23:23).
Matthew 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Luke 11:52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
• The LORD God's Physical Being, Jesus Christ, does tell and show the religious leaders how they have not yet learned (Hosea 6:6), and still teach the Nation to learn more of sacrifice which has no knowledge of God, or Mercy. In their continuing to teach individuals of sacrifice (Matthew 12:7) that beheld no Mercy or Good, those religious leaders did continue to condemn individuals from learning of Heavenly things (Matthew 23:13).
Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Matthew 12:7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. Matthew 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
• The LORD God's Physical Being, Jesus Christ, does tell all individuals, when an individual does serve sin, their master becomes sacrifice, and those that serve Good, their master is God (Luke 16:13).
Luke 16:13 No servant 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.
• The LORD God's Physical Being, Jesus Christ, does tell all individuals that He Is the Lord God, and is the sacrifice He Promised in (Ezekiel 39:17) to eliminate the usage of feathered fowl, and beast (Hebrews 8:13), because He Loved them enough (John 15:13) to be the good shepherd who will give his life for the sheep (John 10:11) willingly (John 10:18) that existed in their Chosen Nation, and throughout the earth (John 3:16).
Ezekiel 39:17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to
my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel,
that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
Hebrews 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first (animal sacrifing) old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend.
John 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 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. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. The LORD God's Physical Being, Jesus Christ, does cause for His made Promise to Abraham ("in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed"-Genesis 12:3) to become fulfilled before the eyes of the People in Israel (Luke 2:31), and then amongst the Gentiles (Acts 13:47).
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's Physical Being, Jesus Christ, does cause for His made Promise to Abraham to become fulfilled (Matthew 1:1-17) through (Psalms 80:14) His usage of the Vine (John 15:5) of David.Luke 2:31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; Acts 13:47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
Matthew 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Psalms 80:14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. The LORD does 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 amongst His Chosen People in fulfilling His made Promise unto Abraham as Messiah, Whom is also the LORD their King (John 12:13-15) on earth, and the Holy One (Act 2:27, Act 3:14) of Israel, that He did create (John 1:13) in Human Form in their Nation's mist (Matthew 1:18) for their Nation to Physically see Him sanctifying His Name, and Saving their Nation.
Ezekiel 36:23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
Psalms 78:41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. Psalms 89:18 For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
John 12:13-15 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
Acts 2:27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Acts 3:14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; John 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. God did cause for the birth (Isaiah 9:6) of a special Child to become born (Matthew 1:23) in their Nation and giving their Nation a son (Matthew 3:17).
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.
Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
The LORD's Physical Being, Jesus Christ, made known that the government was upon His shoulder because of their poor judgments (John 5:22).Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
The LORD's Physical Being, Jesus Christ, made known that His name shall be called Wonderful in His overcoming of the world which is filled with sin (John 16:33) from the beginning to the end of His existence while on the earth, so shall it be for those in His Good that overcome the world, and the sin in it (Hebrews 6:13-15, Matthew 10:22).
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
...SO CAN YOU,... BE OF GOOD CHEER!!!
John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
Hebrews 6:13-15 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
The LORD's Physical Being, Jesus Christ, made known that His name was called Counsellor in that He had all the qualities of being a Counselor that individuals do admire and are amaze at, from the beginning (Luke 2:42-50) to the end (Matthew 7:28, Luke 4:36, Luke 5:26) of His existence while Physically on the earth. Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Luke 2:42-50 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
The LORD's Physical Being, Jesus Christ, made known that His name was called The mighty God who is Eternal (John 8:58), and has power over life and death, which was made known (John 11:40-45, Hebrews12:2). Matthew 7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: Luke 4:36 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out. Luke 5:26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
The LORD's Physical Being, Jesus Christ, made known that He was the Glory of the Everlasting Father (John 10:30), and proved it through His being risen from the grave of death (John 21:14), and to ascend up to Heaven where He was before (John 6:62), eternally existing. John 11:40-45 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
John 10:30 I and my Father are one.
The LORD's Physical Being, Jesus Christ, made known that His name was called the Prince of Peace; a Peace that does guide our feet into the way of peace, through giving light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death (Luke 1:79); a Peace that does manifest His being the King that cometh in the name of the Lord, bringing the peace in heaven to man, through giving glory to GOD in the highest (Luke 19:38); a Peace in the world of tribulation caused by sin, where individuals can be of good cheer, because He has overcome the sin of the world and its death by sin, which can allow them also to overcome the world and its death by sin (John 16:33); a Peace that has the Power to control and quiet the eliminates of Nature (Mark 4:39); a Peace not as the world giveth which surrounds physical troubles and fear which only offer death, but a Peace that does give their heart Peace from the worlds troubles and fear (John 14:27), because it offers Eternal life.John 21:14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead. John 6:62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
Luke 1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Luke 19:38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. ...SO CAN YOU,... BE OF GOOD CHEER!!!
John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
Mark 4:39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. God did Visit His Chosen Nation first for the purpose of sanctifying His Great Name. He did such before the Nation's own eyes in a Way (Genesis 33:10), where He would (Isaiah 45:3) give unto their Nation treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of the secret places.
Genesis 33:10 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.
So they may know the LORD, who called them (gave) by the name of Israel (Genesis 32:28), is also the same LORD God that will use those same treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of the secret places (Isaiah 45:3) that He taught them, for the teaching of the heathen to know that the God of Israel Is the LORD that Saves all the Kingdoms on earth (Isaiah 37:20).Isaiah 45:3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
Genesis 32:28 And he 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.
Isaiah 45:3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. Isaiah 37:20 Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD, even thou only. The LORD does offer the Gentiles to become a part of (Romans 11:17-25) God's family, and to receive the same Promises for attaining the same Glory and Rewards that He Promised to give to Abraham's Heritage (Genesis 12:2-3), which was fulfilled by Jesus Christ, the Lord and Messiah.
Romans 11:18-25 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Genesis 12:2-3 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name reat; and thou shalt be a blessing: 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 did fulfill scripture (Ezekiel 17:22). The LORD God is making known that He will do something special where He will "take of the highest branch of the high cedar (Israel), and will set it" (Job 14:7, Romans 11:25); He "will crop off from the top of his young twigs" (a young child- Isaiah 9:6, John 1:13), a tender one who will show caring, gentleness, and feeling (Luke 1:78), which He will "plant it (that young child, Jesus- Psalms 1:3) (Ecclesiastes 4:15, 1 Corinthians 15:45) upon an high mountain" (Zion) and become "eminent" (exalted by GOD- Matthew 3:17, John 3:35).
Ezekiel 17:22 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent:
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 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Luke 1:78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, Psalms 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Ecclesiastes 4:15 I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead. 1 Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. John 3:35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. The Lord God did fulfill scripture (Ezekiel 17:23). The Lord GOD was referring to His planting (of that young child- Isaiah 9:6) in the mountain (Israel), to bring forth boughs of smaller branches (Christianity- Acts 11:26) to bear fruits (Ezekiel 17:8), and under it shall dwell all fowl (Job 28:7) of every wing for protection from sacrifice (Hosea 6:6, Matthew 12:7), in the shadow of the branches (John 15:5) there of shall they dwell.
Ezekiel 17:22 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent:
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. Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. Ezekiel 17:8 It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine. Job 28:7 There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen: Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. Matthew 12:7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. The Lord God did fulfill scripture (Ezekiel 17:24). The LORD God will cause for all the trees of the field (individuals) to see that He has brought down the high tree (religious leaders of Israel- Matthew 11:25), and will exalt the low tree (Psalms 138:6, James 1:9), and will dry up the green tree (Ezekiel 20:47, Luke 23:31), and have made the dry tree to flourish (Isaiah 42:6, Ephesians 3:6). He has spoken (Isaiah 48:16, Ezekiel 24:14), and has done it (fulfilled) (Matthew 5:18, Matthew 24:34).
Ezekiel 17:24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.
Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Psalms 138:6 Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. James 1:9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: Ezekiel 20:47 And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein. Luke 23:31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? Isaiah 42:6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; Ephesians 3:6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: Isaiah 48:16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me. Ezekiel 24:14 I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD. Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
God did Physically Visit man of earth as a Son of God Himself. |
