1056 This TIME as waters of Noah Isa 54 mystery of CHRIST in YOU hidden for ages is ESTABLISHED for Covenant of Peace then His rebukes would END as LORD Has MERCY on ISRAEL Isa 54
1st day of 5th Month
July 23rd 2021
Continued from No. 1055
CHRIST produces seed, Isa 53; 10, through Gal. 3: 26, 27,
Because NO ONE ELSE could produce children for EVERLASTING COVENANT
Isa 54; 6 -For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.—throughout history of ISRAEL, they proved of INABILITY to produce OBEDIENT CHILDREN for COVENANT OF GOD OF WHOLE EARTH! So LORD took the counsel of “ISRAEL refused as a woman grieved in SPIRIT” --a woman in labor, IN LABOR PAINS, Isa 26: 17 (Isa 26 is song of Judah, vs. 1)
9 -For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.—all the world is Noah’s descendants ---and Gog and Magog in Rev. 20; 8 is the multitude of descendants of Noah, as Magog is grandson of Noah, Gen. 10, (1Ch 1:5 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
10 -For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.
· For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ JESUS, when they PUT ON CHRIST by baptizm, Gal. 3; 26-27--
INTRODUCTION—- LORD PURPOSED ISRAEL to STUMBLE FOR A PURPOSE
Rom. 11: 11-I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
ALL BELIEVERS ARE TO “PUT ON CHRIST” by baptizm, Gal. 3; 27-
PART 1-- Testimony of HEAD OF CHURCH is the spirit of prophecy, Rev. 19; 10. Testifying through prophecies, He makes known HIS WILL of Second Covenant, for believers of HIS WILL would enter Kingdom of God to worship Him in NEW ARK, Rev. 11; 15, 19
PART 2----A few noteworthy examples of kings and prophets who understood OLD COVENANT to obey COVENANT of GOD ALMIGHTY -- ALL TO UNDERSTAND HIS COVENANT (how He leads ISRAEL should be understood)
Kings of ISRAEL sinned as Jeroboam the son of Nebat (But as written in 2Ki 14:27-And the LORD said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash, for COVENANT has to continue, 1 Kin 13: 23).
When Gerald Flurry wrote of 2 ki 14; 27 ALMIGHTY had made him known that LORD would ESTABLISH EVERLASTING COVENANT during the time of Gerald Flurry, just as Jeroboam son of Joash was used to save ISRAEL , 2 Ki 14: 27 because of COVENANT, 1 Kin 13; 23!
PART 3--MYSTERY OF FATHER AND OF CHRIST Col 2; 2 is known as IN CHRIST DWELLING all the FULLNESS OF GODHEAD BODILY, vs. 9
INTRODUCTION—-
LORD PURPOSED ISRAEL to STUMBLE FOR A PURPOSE
Rom. 11: 11-I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
ALL BELIEVERS ARE TO “PUT ON CHRIST” by baptizm, Gal. 3; 27-
THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE Mt 6:10.
Be wise to do His WILL, Eph. 5:17--- fulfilling HIS WILL by HIS DEATH ON CROSS, was KNOWN TO HIM, Mt 26:42, through COUNSEL of LAMB, 1 Pe 1; 19-20, therefore, CHRIST was portrayed as CRUCIFIED, Gal 3:1 for HIS WILL is 2nd COVENANT-Heb. 10:9 He shed blood of COVENANT Mt 26:28, Heb. 13; 20, –it is the COVENANT of PEACE, Isa 54; 9, 10, which is FOREVER, Isa 9: 7.
God had not cast away ISRAEL HIS CHOSEN,
Rom. 11; 1- I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid.
LORD PURPOSED ISRAEL to STUMBLE FOR A PURPOSE
Rom. 11: 11-I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
If people do not know HIS WILL of NEW COVENANT, the SECOND COVENANT for which GOD was in CHRIST, taking SINS of believers on HIM, 2 Co 5: 19, or why IMMANUEL CAME, Isa 7: 14, born of a virgin, Isa 9: 6, and teaches HIS TESTIMONY through PROPHECIES, Rev. 19: 10,---you believe in an UNKNOWN GOD, Acts. 17: 23!
When PUT ON CHRIST by baptizm, we become children of God
By faith in CHRIST, and WE “PUT ON CHRIST” by
WORDS the SPIRIT of Gal. 3; 26-27,
Gal. 3; 26-- For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 -For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
THEN we become ONE IN CHRIST
ALL FLESH become ONE IN CHRIST to SERVE GOD ALMIGHTY
As children of Abraham, heirs of PROMISES
28 -There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 -And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
ALL BELIEVERS ARE TO “PUT ON CHRIST” by baptizm, Gal. 3; 27
That MYSTERY was hidden from AGES,
No one even from Noah’s time knew of it!
CHRIST had to DIE to teach that mystery!
Col 1: 26 -Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: (saints are those sanctified, 1 Co 1: 2, they are gentiles who received SPIRIT by FAITH of Abraham, Gal. 3; 14) –they are prophesied to know the RICHES OF MYSTERY among us, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:--Col 1; 27-
Col 1: 27 -To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
· No 1055 explained—ISRAEL from history had been rebellious NOT KEEPING COVENANT of GOD OF WHOLE EARTH, having idols---kings of ISRAEL did not hear Moses or prophets, BUT SINNED AGAINST THE LORD!
· LORD knew that such things would happen, as HE KNOWS MINDS OF PEOPLE!
· So LORD has WONDERFUL COUNSELS to LAST FOREVER, for HIS EVERLASTING COVENANT!
· It is Christ in you, the hope of glory:--Col 1; 27-with that counsel NO ONE would be against HIS COVENANT when they LEARN OF HIS EVERLASTING LIFE through HIS SPIRIT—LORD would destroy if they destroy HIS SPIRIT, 1 Co 2; 16, 17
God had not cast away ISRAEL HIS CHOSEN,
Rom. 11; 1- I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid.
2 -God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew.
Even in history LORD did not CAST AWAY ISRAEL HIS CHOSEN, (1Kin 13; 23 -Because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, -- (read in No. 1055)
LORD PURPOSED ISRAEL to STUMBLE FOR A PURPOSE
Rom. 11: 11-I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.---we gentiles were called to serve HIM because of ISRAEL ---then ALL FLESH receive SALVATION because of FALL of ISRAEL ---
· Since GOD OF WHOLE EARTH counseled TO BE HUSBAND of ISRAEL, Isa 54; 5, HE IS JEALOUS OF ISRAEL, HIS WIFE!
· HIS JEALOUSY caused Him to leave NORTH GATE, Eze. 8: 3, 16!—thrones of NORTH were given to ministry, Jer. 1: 15-18 –they then became profaned princes, Isa 43; 28, Sanctuary profaned, Eze. 24; 21
Isa 54; 6---as a woman forsaken, grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God,
Isa 54; 7-- For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.— MERCY is taught by MINISTRY of SPIRIT, 2 Co 4; 1, because LORD is that SPIRIT, and we receive HIS GLORY, through HIS SPIRIT, 2 Co 3; 17-18
· It means HOLY SPIRIT –which is HIS SPIRIT, THE WORDS, has to be KNOWN by captives to be GATHERED, Isa 54; 7--- “with great mercies will I gather thee” Isa 54: 7---means ---ISRAEL would be gathered through GREAT TEACHINGS through HIS SPIRIT
· Therefore MYSTERY OF AGES are taught, when mysteries are made known to gentiles, Col 1: 26-27
LORD had called ISRAEL as a woman forsaken—WHEN ISRAEL understand HIS COUNSELS, they would NEVER FORSAKE HIM, but would have FEAR OF GOD to PRESERVE HIS EVERLASTING COVENANT! ---when ISRAEL is as forsaken woman, SHE CANNOT produce a NEXT GENERATION!
· LORD has to teach ISRAEL who had been always against HIS COVENANT and HIS STATUTES, as history of ISRAEL PROVED, (read in No. 1055 in www.restoringcaptivity.com
· LORD’S MIGHTY COUNSELS are for ETERNITY!
· ISRAEL has to learn WHAT IT MEANS TO SERVE “GOD OF WHOLE EARTH!”
· Nowadays you could very well understand HOW your PLANS FAIL in this world; people lose jobs, as plans fail due to CORONA!!
Isa 24:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
ISRAEL is punished when earth is punished
Amos 3: 1- Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
· LORD’S MIGHTY COUNSELS are for ETERNITY!
Isa 54: 8- In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.—
9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
Rom. 11: 12-Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
· When LORD had called ALL FLESH to worship HIM as HE PROMISED to Noah, Gen. 9; 13-17, LORD requires ISRAEL to be the example---so ISRAEL should be TAUGHT WELL as FATHER TEACHES SONS!
LORD PURPOSED ISRAEL to FALL for a WONDERFUL COUNSEL
Rom. 11: 7 -What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded—the ELECTION is gentiles, thus Rev. 11; 1, 2 divided to PCG inner court, and gentiles in outer court
5 -Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. ---GRACE spiritually is HIM TASTING DEATH for everyone, Heb. 2; 9---His death on HIS CROSS! –1 Co 1; 17-- preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
· Gospel of CROSS of CHRIST is made EFFECTIVE, if taught wth SPIRIT OF GOD
· NOT with men’s words!
· People who DO NOT EXALT HIS CROSS cannot teach SPIRITUAL things as they DO NOT BELIEVE HIS SPIRIT!
· HOLY SPIRIT is granted to those ISRAEL and those of FAR, who receive HIS BAPTISM, by having FAITH in CHRIST, Acts. 2; 38, 39. –( those of FAR, Acts. 2: 38, 39, far means isles of gentiles, Isa 33: 13, 17, Ps. 72: 10, Isa 42: 4, Isa 43: 3, Isa 66; 19) –read in Nos. 958, 1016
· In baptizm unto CHRIST, we are EXPECTED TO PUT ON CHRIST, Gal. 3; 26-29 (to become spiritual sons of Abraham)—Gal. 3; 27-- For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
· Rich people would not believe TO BE CRUCIFIED with HIM, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Rom. 6; 6, SUFFER WITH HIM, TO BE GLORIFIED WITH HIM, to BE HEIRS WITH HIM, Rom. 8; 17, but LORD’S WORDS the SPIRIT commands to DO SO!
· That is HOW YOU PUT ON CHRIST by BAPTISM, Gal. 3; 27, NOT TO SIN thereafter, Rom. 6; 6 !
· Rich Laodiceans have to repent and turn to Him by BOWING DOWN TO THE CREATOR!
H. W. Armstrong did not understand Rom. 6; 6---and when PCG follow him, they too do not understand! CHRIST IS TEACHING ISRAEL to understand WORDS OF GOD, not words of men! We gentiles learn from CHRIST, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, Isa 17: 7.
Isa 65:12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.
Sword of God is sent to CORRECT THOUGHTS, Heb. 4; 12
Jer 4:10-Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.
Heb. 4: 12 -For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Ps 149:6 -Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;--sanctified saints send the sword of God, praising Him
LORD led ISRAEL in history through OLD COVENANT under law, which is NOT THE REAL EVERLASTING COVENANT, we see it had taken AGES TO TEACH ISRAEL of HIS WILL of SECOND COVENANT with HIS ONE OFFERING, Heb. 10: 7-10, 14. ---IT IS SUCH A SERIOUS COVENANT, which NO ONE SHOULD BREAK!
· LORD had taken many counsels through HIS DEATH, major one is HIS BAPTIZM unto HIS DEATH, Rom. 6, through which HE GRANTS HIS HOLY SPIRIT to those who believe, Acts. 2; 38, 39.
· When CHRIST IS PUT ON by baptizm, Gal. 3; 27, and CHRIST IS IN YOU, Col 1; 26, 27, then you have HOLY SPIRIT in you TO GUIDE YOU TO WORSHIP HIM IN TRUTH, Jn. 4; 23, 24.
· (Eze. 16; 60-63 says of EVERLASTING COVENANT scheduled to be established amidst Philadelphia Church of God (PCG), who had COVENANT, Eze. 16; 8, but who broke it, Eze. 16; 59, Eze. 44; 7, by Bamah, Eze. 20: 29. LORD allowed robbers to come into HIS ALTAR, Eze. 7: 20-23, when PCG was going after H. W. Armstrong and his books, which do not MAGNIFY CHRIST AND HIS BAPTIZM! Then LORD gave REVELATIONS due to PCG to us, gentiles, Eze. 7; 24—
We gentiles learnt to live in SPIRIT, as we honoured WORDS OF HIS BAPTIZM to be CRUCIFIED with CHRIST, Rom. 6; 6, 7, receiving BLOOD OF COVENANT at PASSOVER from CRUCIFIED CHRIST, Rom. 6: 6
Jas 2:26 -For as the body without the spirit is dead
· We are DEAD, If HOLY SPIRIT is not in us,
When church amidst ISRAEL is dead spiritually, they are preached the gospel--
1Pe 4:6-For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.---we ought to understand errors of people—when H. W. Armstrong preached gospel, DID HE PREACH to the DEAD???
· No one could preach to NATURALLY DEAD!
· Spiritually DEAD are those who LIVE IN FLESH –
· Live according to God in the SPIRIT---means LIVE according to WORDS OF GOD—(an example of living by words of God--- 1Th 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
· When CHRIST had come a second time, to give SALVATION, Heb. 9: 28, we should be HOPING for SALVATION!
· We understand from 1 Pe 4; 6, that WE ARE TO LIVE in SPIRIT!
· Otherwise we are as DEAD, (dead to sin, Rom. 6; 2) because such LIVE according to their own understanding, NOT ACCORDING TO WORDS OF GOD which is HIS SPIRIT, they are quickening words, life giving words, Jn. 6; 63
1Co 15:12 -Now if Christ be preached that He rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
Here is how ALMIGHTY raise (resurrect) us
When we are dead in sin
Ro 8:11 -But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you.
· Explanation of Rom. 8: 11—SPIRIT of ALMIGHTY GOD raised up JESUS CHRIST from dead
· SPIRIT the WORDS of LIFE has to DWELL in US, (when we believe His SPIRIT, the quickening words, Jn. 6; 63)
· So just as HE raised JESUS CHRIST, He would raise us
· JESUS CHRIST knew SPIRIT OF GOD that HE COULD RAISE BY HIMSELF, Jn. 10; 18—
Jn.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.
· Examining Jn.10: 18—we see that JESUS CHRIST knew that FATHER had made Him know through the commandment that CHRIST HAS POWER to LAY HIS LIFE and TAKE IT BACK!
· Now has WORD of GOD given us SUCH A Commandment??
· Yes, Rom. 6: 3-7 says we would WALK IN NEWNESS OF LIFE, when WE ARE CRUCIFIED with HIM, ----when BAPTIZED UNTO HIS DEATH!
Lets see, Rom. 6; 3- 14---
Rom. 6: 3-Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 -Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.---we become NEW as we live according to His words, NO MORE IN SIN, as CROSS of CHRIST takes away curse of the law, Gal. 3; 13—then we serve in FAITH on HIS GRACE (On HIS DEATH as spiritual GRACE, Heb. 2; 9)
5 -For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:---SO THAT IS HOW the SPIRITUAL teaches of our resurrection!---
6 -Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 -For he that is dead is freed from sin.
1 Co 15: 34 -Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God:---36- which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
· You could AWAKE TO RIGHTEOUSNESS when SINS are FORGIVEN by being CRUCIFIED with Him, Rom. 6; 6, 7
SO THAT IS HOW SPIRIT, THE WORD OF GOD teaches how we are RESURRECTED! –being DEAD with CHRIST--
CHRIST proved HIS EVERLASTING LIFE by HIS RESURRECTION,
We too would receive Eternal life as gift, Rom. 6: 22-23
Therefore KNOWLEDGE OF GOD as eternal life, Jn.17: 3
Would be GRANTED to us by HIS SPIRIT!
Rom. 6; 8 -Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:--
9-Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 -For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.---after baptizm, we are freed from sin, then WE LIVE UNTO GOD, Not SERVING SIN anymore!
11 -Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.—we are to be ALIVE UNTO ALMIGHTY through LAMB, JESUS CHRIST ---therefore WE KNOW that the TEMPLE IS ALMIGHTY AND LAMB, Rev. 21; 22, 23.
12 -Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13 -Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14 -For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.---WE ARE NO MORE under OLD COVENANT LAWS, ---but UNDER NEW COVENANT ---through GRACE of JESUS CHRIST which is WHEN CHRIST TASTED DEATH for EVERYONE
, Heb. 2; 9---
· WE SHOULD NEVER DISGRACE and DISHONOR SPIRIT of HIS GRACE , we are PUNISHABLE worse than in time of Moses, Heb. 10L 26-31.
We receive HOLY SPIRIT, When baptized in the name of JESUS CHRIST, Acts.2; 38, 39, Jn. 1; 33---Therefore, we would be given KNOWLEDGE to UNDERSTAND HIS SPIRIT when we read HIS WORDS!
When PUT ON CHRIST by baptizm, we become children of God
By faith in CHRIST, when WE “PUT ON CHRIST” Gal. 3; 26-27,
Gal. 3; 26-- For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 -For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
THEN we become ONE IN CHRIST
ALL FLESH become ONE IN CHRIST to SERVE GOD ALMIGHTY
As children of Abraham, heirs of PROMISES
28 -There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 -And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
· Heir of righteousness is Noah, Heb. 11; 7, therefore ALL FLESH becomes RIGHTEOUS, when their SINS are REMOVED by baptismal words, Rom. 6: 3-7.
PART 1—
Testimony of HEAD OF CHURCH is the spirit of prophecy, Rev. 19; 10. Testifying through prophecies, He makes known HIS WILL of Second Covenant, for believers of HIS WILL would enter Kingdom of God to worship Him in NEW ARK, Rev. 11; 15, 19
Rev. 19; 10-the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
· Testifying through prophecies, He makes known HIS WILL, for believers of HIS WILL would enter Kingdom of God to worship Him in NEW ARK, Rev. 11; 15, 19. The ministry would enter HIS ALTAR, as HIS WIFE to serve Him, as NEW JERUSALEM, for they are to PROVE “CHRIST in THEM”, 2 Co 13: 4-7.
EXAMINE YOURSELF
2 Co 13: 5-Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
6 -But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
Scriptures prove that we are to be WISE to Do HIS WILL not being unwise, Eph 5:17
In counsel of being LAMB, which was made before world began, 1 Pe 1: 19-20, CHRIST had to die to FULFILL HIS WILL, Mt 26:42 (counseled as the CREATOR GOD ALMIGHTY), He was to shed blood of COVENANT, to GIVE PASSOVER BREAD AND WINE, the BLOOD OF NEW COVENANT, vs. 28, That WILL of HIS FULFILLS in NEW ARK seen in Rev. 11:19 in KINGDOM OF GOD , Rev. 11:15—it would be established in Philadelphia Church of God (PCG), Eze. 16: 60-63.
Through HIS TESTIMONY CHRIST makes known how ISRAEL had done in history, which ALMIGHTY COULD NOT ACCEPT—
He had shown how ISRAEL in history had not done HIS SERVICE according to HIS WORDS –but LORD establishes HIS CHOSEN ISRAEL , in an EVERLASTING COVENANT, Eze. 16: 60
Through Mystery of Ages in history of ISRAEL
LORD shows how ISRAEL had erred, and TEACHES THEIR ERRORS
NOW, so that FUTURE PEOPLE OF EVERLASTING COVENANT would
NEVER MAKE ERRORS,
As they are given CHRIST AS THEIR SHIELD to protect HIS SERVICE!
Isa 45; 25--In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
· When testimony of God is CHRIST and HIM CRUCIFIED, 1 Co 2; 1, 2, TESTIMONY of JESUS CHRIST is SPIRIT of prophecy, Rev. 19; 10
· The True BIBLICAL Mystery of Ages has to be known from HISTORY of ISRAEL who erred in Covenant and how CHRIST as LAMB counseled before world began, 1 Pe 1: 19-20, CHRIST as LAMB saves ISRAEL to establish EVERLASTING COVENANT during days of PCG, Eze. 16: 60-63, it is END OF AGE when CHRIST came a second time to give SALVATION, Heb. 9; 28. ---word of God through SPIRIT OF PROPHECY teaches Mystery of Ages!
· LORD gives the help of “CHRIST IN YOU” as introduction of this article had shown
Read more in No. 1055 in www.restoringcaptivity.com
Through many counsels given through many prophets LORD TEACHES HOW PEOPLE HAD PERFORMED ERRORS in HIS COVENANT –
· LORD does not want any to make ERRORS, therefore He gave the HELP as “CHRIST in you” –helping through HIS SPIRIT, making people as TEMPLES, 1 Co 3; 16
In THIS DAY, when LORD came to give SALVATION, Heb. 9: 28
HE HELPS HIS people through JUDGMENTS which ERRORS His
People would make
Jn. 16: 7- Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
--8 -And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
LORD had shown through errors of ISRAEL kings of history and through PRESENT PEOPLE WHO SERVE THE LORD amidst ISRAEL and gentiles.
· ALL should know the JUDGMENTS LORD made so that SUCH SINS would never be repeated!
· Prophecies shows the ERRORS of HISTORY of kings of ISRAEL and Judah as recorded in KINGS, and CHRONICLES. (read in No. 1055)
· Therefore through SPIRIT OF PROPHECY JESUS CHRIST had shown HIS PEOPLE to be established in EVERLASTING COVENANT, the ERRORS which SHOULD NEVER be REPEATED!
· Words of CHRIST, word of God teaches GOOD and EVIL—
· We are to CHOOSE GOOD from those words, and NEVER perform LUSTS OF FLESH which LORD DETESTS, Gal. 5; 19-21 is example of lusts, WORKS OF SPIRIT in Gal. 5; 22-24--THOSE WORDS teach us of GOOD WORKS HE WOULD REQUIRE FROM US—they are comforting words, comforter taught when HE FORGIVES OUR SINS through HIS BAPTIZM, Rom. 6: 3-13.
People now serving are to be established in
EVERLASTING COVENANT
They are punished, shamed, for disobedience
As they continued to SIN without repenting when
ALL PROPHETS were sent, Jer. 44; 1-5
Eze. 16: 59-For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant. –PCG broke Covenant, Eze. 44; 7, at Bamah. Eze.20: 29, we gentiles witness to it, GW1 had personally given documents of Bamah SIN, to PCG leader so that he would save church, but he did not examine that sin (that sin is resembling Jeroboam’s sin of 1 Kin 13; 33, 34), but PCG leader DISFELLOWSHIPPED us, then LORD made us serve HIM, Rev. 11; 1-4, granting white linen, Rev. 6; 9-12.
CHRIST raised through clouds and would
Come again through clouds, Acts. 1: 9, 11
Acts. 1: 7-And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8 -But ye shall receive power, after that the HOLY SPIRIT is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
9 -And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 -And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11-Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
HOLY SPIRIT is given to ministry to WITNESS unto CHRIST
Acts. 1: 8 -But ye shall receive power, after that the HOLY SPIRIT is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
· When we gentiles were given the PROMISE OF SPIRIT through faith of Abraham, Gal. 3: 14, when HOLY SPIRIT is given through baptizm, Acts. 2; 38, 39,
· We gentiles too are to continue SERVICE after AD 31 church!
· PAUL was our teacher, 2 Tim 1; 11.
In Acts.1; 8---we are to witness unto JERUSALEM, Judah, and Samaria—
Mic 1:5 -For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?
· We had witnessed JERUSALEM, Judah, and Samaria---in No. 1046
Isa 10:10-As My hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
· Isa 10: 10 prophecy shows PCG is worse than in history!
Read No. 1046 in www.restoringcaptivity.com
From No. 1046 (we had shown PCG sins of dancing and other idols)
Ex 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.
· Moses destroyed even tables in his anger against CALVES Aaron made due to pressure of people!
When Jeroboam made Feast of Tabernacles on 8th month, served by men who had NO KNOWLEDGE of GOD, 1 Ki 12: 32, 33, and GOD rejected him, even to CUT SUCH PEOPLE from THE FACE OF EARTH, 1 Kn 13; 33, 34. —
ONLY a Jeroboam type would create throne of calves, 2 Ch 11: 15
2 Ch 11: 15--he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.
Jeroboam made calves and said they are the gods
Who brought ISRAEL OUT OF Egypt--
1 Kin 12: 26 -And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:
27 If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.
28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
29 -And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.
30 -And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.
31 -And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.—PCG brought ordinary men from Bamah to GOD’S ALTAR, and broke COVENANT, Eze. 44; 7—and now they make people see dances making a throne too!

Isa 7:9 -And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.
· Pekah the son of Remaliah became king of ISRAEL, 2 Kin 16. 27 and committed sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat who made Israel sin, vv 27-28 –
Isa 7; 9 makes us understand that ISRAEL was sinning as Jeroboam!—so PCG has to believe how church had sinned as Jeroboam and the fact that LORD had made Jeroboam repeating in GOD’S CHURCH (PCG broke COVENANT under the sin of Jeroboam, PCG sinned as in Eze.44; 7) as explained in No. 1046 .
In Mic 6: 16 we see--Omri bought Samaria and followed sins of Jeroboam—1 Ki 16:23-26, ----he was followed by kings of ISRAEL –Mic 6; 16 shows prophecy for today--- followed by present day ruler in house of God where judgments began, 1 Pe 4; 17

Eze. 16: 60 - Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.
61 Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.—GOD would NOT ACCEPT WORDS of people, for RIGHTEOUSNESS COMES FROM HIS SACRIFICE as HE ORDAINED through baptizm, Rom. 6; 3—13. (ISRAEL Righteousness is as filthy rags, Isa 64; 6) –PCG as 1st fruits, other sister churches have to be taught by PCG as mother!
62 And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD:
63 That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.

Therefore SPIRIT of PROPHECY, Rev. 19: 10, helps people of GOD ALMIGHTY not to SIN AS ISRAEL in history!
Therefore His believers are to UNDERSTAND that PASSOVER (receiving BLOOD OF NEW COVENANT, Mt. 26; 28) is to enter NEW COVENANT, which is EVERLASTING COVENANT for which HE SHED HIS BLOOD, Heb. 13; 20!
PART 2----
A few noteworthy examples of kings and prophets who understood OLD COVENANT to obey COVENANT of GOD ALMIGHTY -- ALL TO UNDERSTAND HIS COVENANT (how He leads ISRAEL should be understood)
Kings of ISRAEL sinned as Jeroboam the son of Nebat (But as written in 2Ki 14:27-And the LORD said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash, for COVENANT has to continue, 1 Kin 13: 23).
1 Ki 13; 23-Because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet. (read in No. 1055)
Captives to learn from prophets Nehemiah and Ezra how they should do when captives return
Examples—
King Josiah understood to PUT AWAY ADOLS etc, to KEEP COVENANT OF GOD—(Please read 2 Ki 22, 23 about King Josiah)
2Ki 22:1-Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign,
2 kin 23: 2--he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.
3 And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.
2Ki 23:24 -Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.---people to learn NOT TO HAVE IDOLS when worshipping GOD OF WHOLE EARTH!
2 Kin 23: 25 - And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.—IN SECOND COVENANT, we are taught to worship in SPIRIT, which HE GRANTS when BAPTIZED UNTO HIM, Acts. 2: 38, 39, and if people DESTROY HIS SPIRIT, LORD would DESTROY them, 1 Co 3; 16, 17.
21 -And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the Passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.
· Without keeping PASSOVER as instructed it is NOT PROFITABLE for SERVICE OF GOD!
15 Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he brake down, and burned the high place, and stamped it small to powder, and burned the grove.
· Josiah broke down sinful high places Jeroboam, son of Nebat made!
· NEW COVENANT is established when they have FAITH IN RICHES OF HIS DEATH (AS GRACE, Heb. 2; 9) for ministers are to prove “CHRIST IN YOU” ---through baptizm, Gal. 3; 26-27, then THEY WOULD NOT SIN as CHRIST HELPS THEM to perform RIGHTEOUSLY!
King Hezekiah
The whole bible teaches us to UNDERSTAND ERRORS fathers had done, or GOOD WAYS which are ACCEPTABLE TO GOD ALMIGHTY –so that people in EVERLASTING COVENANT would be PERFECT!
2 Ch 28:1 -Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old,
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.
3 -He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them.
4 -And he brought in the priests and the Levites,
5 -And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.
6 -For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.
7 -Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel.
8 -Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.—wrath of LORD comes when they are DISOBEDIENT!
9-For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
10 -Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the LORD God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.—that is Repentance, to perform good service to ALMIGHTY!
SO Levi cleansed the house of God
2 Ch 28: 11-My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense.
12 -Then the Levites arose,--- 15 And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD.
16 -And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron.
· The BROOK OF KIDRON is the place where junk was buried!
Kidron is a place where JESUS CHRIST used to go often—
Joh 18:1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.
2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
· JESUS CHRIST knew of RUBBISH OF ERRED KINGS are buried there!
Read of Kidron—in No 754
SANCTIFICATION began on a 1st day of 1st month
(even Ezekiel temple ordinance to accept their service is on such a day,
Eze.45: 18-21)
2 Ch 28: 17 Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the LORD: so they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days;
18 -Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof.
19 -Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified,---

Ahaz king of Judah joined with king of Assyria, 2 Ki 16:7 and killed Rezin, vs. 9.---So Pekah son of Remaliah couldn’t win over king of Judah Ahaz.

King Hezekiah prepares for sacrifices
For priests to kill them for reconciliation for ALL ISRAEL
2 Ch 28: 20 -Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD.
21 And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah.
24 And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.
According to the Commandment of David, they
OFFERED SONGS OF THANKSGIVING
2 Ch 28: 25 And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of the LORD by his prophets.
AFTER Repentance THEY KEPT PASSOVER
And children of ISRAEL were GLAD
2Ch 30:1 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover unto the LORD God of Israel.
21 -And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the LORD.
22 -And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers.
26-So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.
HEAVEN Heard when Levi blessed the people and PRAYED
2 Ch 30: 27 -Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even unto heaven.
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL destroyed ALL IMAGES
That is how ISRAEL should DO!
2 Ch 31: 1--Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
KING HEZEKIAH appointed service according to WORD OF GOD!
2 Ch 31: 2 And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the tents of the LORD.
3 He appointed also the king’s portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, to wit, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of the LORD.---THE SERVICES recorded in NU. 28 and 29!

Neh. 12: 45 -And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.
46 -For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God
47-And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron.---Zerubbabel and Nehemiah strengthened THOSE SERVING in ALTAR and CHOIR who GIVE THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE to GOD OF WHOLE EARTH -----------------remember it is NOT PRAISING men like H. W. Armstrong or Gerald Flurry! ------men are appointed to serve GOD OF WHOLE EARTH! ----TEMPLE to be named in THE NAME OF GOD OF WHOLE EARTH!!! –well, PCG has a lot to correct themselves, TO THE GREAT HONOUR of GOD OF WHOLE EARTH, the HUSBAND OF ISRAEL , Isa 54; 5, who BOUGHT THE CHURCH with HIS BLOOD, Acts. 20; 28
Isa 54: 5- For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
6 -For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.
· According to His counsel of Isa 54; 6--–LORD called PCG as a woman in labor—who is forsaken, ---because those who do not serve GOD according to THE WORDS OF GOD cannot make sons and daughters to GOD ALMIGHTY!
PCG leader wrote of 2 Kin 14: 27
For in his days LORD establishes EVERLASTING COVENANT, Isa 54: 7-10
Isa 54: 7 -For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.
8 -In a little wrath I hid My face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.—LORD hid Himself as known by us gentiles, it is written, Eze. 39; 21-23---Eze.39:23- And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I My face from them,
9 -For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.—LORD promised Noah that He would not destroy world again –Gen. 9: 11 And I will establish My covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there anymore be a flood to destroy the earth.---- 12-- And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 - I do set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth.---the BOW---RAIN-BOW---is the SIGN of EVERLASTING COVENANT LORD would establish ----------between ---ALMIGHTY and HIS EARTH!!!
10-For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of My peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.
LORD gave the SIGN of BOW to Gerald Flurry, Eze.1: 28
We remember Gerald Flurry wrote that Ezekiel was revealed
To him more than to H. W. Armstrong!
Eze. 1: 28- As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
· Gerald Flurry WROTE that he was shown the VEHICLE OF GOD written in Ezekiel Chapter 1 to chapter 10?? ----so Eze. 1: 28 is INCLUDED ---THE “BOW” in the CLOUD was shown to Gerald Flurry!----

When Gerald Flurry wrote of 2 ki 14; 27 ALMIGHTY had made him known that LORD would ESTABLISH EVERLASTING COVENANT during the time of Gerald Flurry!
Therefore Gerald Flurry wrote of 2 Kin 14; 27
2 Kin 14: 27-- the LORD said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.---ALMIGHTY saved by hand of Jeroboam, son of Joash because of COVENANT --1Kin 13; 23 -Because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.
Similarly, EVERLASTING COVENANT would be made during the time of Gerald Flurry, PCG as FIRST FRUITS!
Zerubbabel and Nehemiah reformed service of God
Neh. 12: 47-And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron.
Just as Zerubbabel reformed SERVICE OF GOD in history---JESUS CHRIST as Branch and Zerubbabel came to help Joshua—
Zec. 3: 8 -Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.
9 -For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
10 -In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
It is Zerubbabel who has the SEVENS—LORD has THE SEVEN EYES —LORD came as Zerubbabel to help Joshua the HIGH PRIEST of Zec. 3!
Zec 4:10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

1 Kin 14: 15 -For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their groves, provoking the LORD to anger.
16-And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin.
Sanctuary profaned in the midst of ISRAEL, Eze. 24; 21, princes profaned, Isa 43; 28
Gerald Flurry wrote --prophecies of Jeroboam were about D Trump—that was false swearing, and the curse came on him, Zec 5:4-- when LORD judged church, 1 Pe 4:17 they were judged as nations as sheep/goats (Mt 25:32, Eze. 34:17)
Just as Gerald Flurry wrote “GOD ACTUALLY USES UNRIGHTEOUS KING (as Donald Trump) to HELP THE NATION” in “Key of David” Nov 2020---(Saving America from radical left), falsely swearing by scriptures of D. TRUMP winning elections, in TRUMPET MAGAZINE of Jan 2021 ---
· WCG, PCG baptized unto John, and “law is until prophets and John” Lu. 16: 16, so law entered, they sinned, curse of law upon them, ONLY the TREE ‘CROSS” of CHRIST could remove that curse, Gal. 3; 13!
That is 70 year period of Isa 23; 15, when H. W. Armstrong made people baptized to John!!
PCG took H. W. Armstrong as father, (as their god) and ALSO wrote books on him, even Malachi BOOK of BIBLE is expressed as worshiping H. W. Armstrong, comparing parts of scriptures to H. W. Armstrong as ELIJAH, without understanding –that is SORCERY, ADULTERY, FALSE SWEARING, Dan 2; 2, Mal 3: 5
Dominion over ISRAEL was given to David forever by a COVENANT with salt—2 Ch 13:5, a lamp to burn always, 2 Ch 21:7
· That fact should be understood by KINGS, -- LORD Places in His church!
King Abijah of Judah fought Jeroboam, 2 Ch 13:1-4 (from Mt Ephraim)
---he spoke of Everlasting COVENANT of David, vs. 4 and spoke to Jeroboam and to all ISRAEL ,vs. 4, he spoke of sin of Jeroboam and the service which is to be performed in house of David—2 Ch 13:9-12
Abijah of Judah had placed Levi to serve in altar----End of Jeroboam came, 2 Ch 13: 9-20
1 Ki 14:10 -Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone,
16 And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin.
UNDERSTANDING of Samaria
There were many kings of ISRAEL in history who committed sin of Jeroboam
They set up worshipping in Samaria
Walking as Jeroboam
1 Ki 16:16-19 (Omri)—Omri bought Samaria and did sins of Jeroboam—1 Ki 16:23-26 –
Kings of ISRAEL thus were in Samaria
Ahab set up Baal worship in Samaria, 2 Ki 3:1-3---Ahab walked as Jeroboam—1 ki 16:28
Jehu in Samaria, 2 Kin 10: 36, did as Jeroboam, 2 Kin 10: 31
Jehoahaz in Samaria, walked as Jeroboam, 2 Ki 13:1,2,6
Azariah 2 Ki 14:21-24, Zechariah in Samaria, did as Jeroboam , 2 Ki 15:8,9
Menaham in Samaria walking as Jeroboam, -2 Ki 15:17-18
Pekahiah in Samaria walked as Jeroboam -2 Ki 15:23-24
Pekah son of Remaliah, in Samaria, walked as Jeroboam, 2 Ki 15:25-28 (Isa 7 says of son of Remaliah)
Baasha king of ISRAEL as Jeroboam –1 Ki 15:33,34,
King of Assyria carried away ISRAEL to Assyria—2 Ki 17:5-6
Isa 14:4 -That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!
Calf and dance before Celtic Throne should end!
Works of Samaria should end!
Moses saw the calf, and the dancing, Ex 32; 19, Ex 32:20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
Ex 32:35-And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
Ps 106:19 -They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
Ac 7:41-And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
PROPHECIES for PCG
Ho 8:5 -Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
Ho 8:6-For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
GOD’S TRUE CHURCH should NOT DO anything which is
NOT COMMANDED!
They should only follow the WORD OF GOD!
Jer. 34: 19 -The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;
20-I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
Eze 39:18-Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats,
LORD judged sheep, rams, goats, Eze. 34:17 nations were judged thus—Mt 25:32 ---

Isa 55: 11 -So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
STATUTES of OMRI of Samaria kept now Mic 6.16—they are of Jeroboam (read in No. 1046)
Jeroboam was king of ISRAEL (Ten tribes 1 ki 11:31) and Rehoboam king of Judah with tribe of Benjamin, 1 ki 12:20,21--Jeroboam built Shechem in mountains of Ephraim, be made people of ISRAEL to worship two calves of gold saying that was the God of ISRAEL who brought ISRAEL up from land of Egypt,he made priests from every class of people not of sons of Levi, making a feast for ISRAEL on the 15th day of 8th month, 1 Ki 12:28-33
In Mic 6: 16 we see--Omri bought Samaria and followed sins of Jeroboam—1 Ki 16:23-26, ----he was followed by kings of ISRAEL
MOST HIGH GODHEAD, Col 2:2, 9, as ALMIGHTY FATHER of Covenant promised to Abraham, ruled ISRAEL from the time they came out of Egypt—they rebelled against His words!
GODHEAD as SON CHRIST as IMMANUEL (GOD WITH US), Isa 7: 14, died for their sins to establish them in EVERLASTING COVENANT through HIS BLOOD, Heb. 13; 20—
Read of GODHEAD and SON CHRIST continuing works of Father in No. 1045 in www.restoringcaptivity.com
Read in -1046---He made the RICH Laodiceans as having Assyrian ways, and POOR gentiles as having ways of ZION, to build them up ALL for EVERLASTING COVENANT,
Read Isa 7 in No. 1046 in www.restoringcaptivity.com
Isa 7:9 -And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.
· Then it is ESSENTIAL to examine Isa 7: 9!
Pekah the son of Remaliah became king of ISRAEL, 2 Kin 16. 27 and committed sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat who made Israel sin, vv 27-28 –
· So what the present church has to BELIEVE is the PRESENCE OF ANOTHER Jeroboam ruling LAND OF ISRAEL, which is to be WIFE OF GOD OF ISRAEL , Isa 62; 4-5.
· So believe Isa 7: 9 and be named Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah, Isa 62; 4, He requires to marry land as A VIRGIN, vs. 5, therefore BOW DOWN to LAMB to be made A VIRGIN, Rev. 14; 1-5
There were MANY FOLLOWERS of Jeroboam written in WORD OF GOD –therefore the OTHER Jeroboams and LAST Jeroboam is shown through scriptures in this article…
Isa 7 is explained as the SIGN of IMMANUEL is given, Isa 7: 14
· PCG made as a plant, Eze.16:7, she is the woman in wilderness Rev. 12:14 then plant grew, many plants came up and land became full of briers and thorns Isa 7:23-25 --prophet was surrounded with thorns and briers Eze.2:5,6, now those plants had multiplied and MUCH THORNS fill up the wilderness!
Thorns are sons of Belial,
Eze 20:13 -But the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness: they walked not in My statutes, and they despised My judgments,
2Sa 23:6-But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away,
Mic 7: 14 -Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.—woman in wilderness LIVES SOLITARILY forgetting GOD OF ISRAEL!
In Mic 6: 16 we see--Omri bought Samaria and followed sins of Jeroboam—1 Ki 16:23-26, ----he was followed by kings of ISRAEL
Mic 6: 16- For the statutes of Omri are kept,
LORD brought king of Assyria, Isa7; 17, in a proverb, Isa 14:4-and king of Assyria ends,—that was the PURPOSE OF WHOLE EARTH, Isa 14; 25, 26---meaning ALMIGHTY had PURPOSED HIS TRUE COVENANT to begin after ENDING ALL ERRED SERVICE, for HE REQUIRES A PERFECT SERVICE!
· 1 Ki 12: 34—it is counsel of ALMIGHTY to destroy sin of Jeroboam from the FACE OF EARTH!
· It is purposed IN THIS GENERATION, Isa 14; 25, 26 ---
Isa 65:7 -Your iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed Me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.
· If one truly understand Isa 65: 7—IT IS A MARVELLOUS COUNSEL---LORD had purposed TO MAKE THIS GENERATION REPENT for fathers’ sins, THEN HE WOULD FORGIVE even fathers---so that ALL ISRAEL from the beginning WOULD BE AS SINLESS before HIM WHEN HE GRANTS HIS GRACE, Heb. 2: 9--through Baptizm unto His death, Rom. 6, when they would be given HIS HOLY SPIRIT, Acts. 2: 38, to serve HIM IN HIS SPIRIT, knowing HIS TRUTHS, Jn. 4: 23, 24
· And the LORD punishes the stout heart of Assyrian--Isa 10:12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.—LORD sees our hearts! Le 26:19 --And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:

Commission of 1st born of poor, Isa 14; 30 is to serve
God of whole earth when HE REMOVES Assyrian, VV 25-26
King of Assyria carried away ISRAEL to Assyria—2 Ki 17:5-6
LORD brought king of Assyria –upon present ISRAEL church PCG
Isa 7: 17 -The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.
And the Assyrian would be DESTROYED, Isa 14; 25, 26,
The burden of that was given to WITNESSES of Rev. 11: 1-2
They as 1st born of poor, Isa 14; 30, 32
Isa 14: 25-That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
26-This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
Nehemiah and Zerubbabel, servants of GOD of WHOLE EARTH
Were dedicated to the HIS SERVICE as David was made known
They formed TWO THANKSGIVING CHOIRS, Neh. 12: 31, 40, 43
Neh. 12: 31- Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies of them that gave thanks,
40 So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:
They performed SERVICE OF SONGS TO PRAISE GOD according to David and Asaph (one of the chief singers, Asaph wrote psalms 73 to 83 and some other psalms) ---we read of chief singers in 1 Ch 25: 1--Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was:
45-And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.
46 -For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God
1 Ch 23: 5 -Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.
Neh. 12: 43 -Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.
44 -And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited.
Nehemiah was concerned TOWARDS COVENANT OF GOD OF WHOLE EARTH, to FEAR HIS GREAT NAME, Neh. 1: 5, 11
Neh. 1; 4-11
NEHEMIAH fasted, prayed mourned-----Neh. 1: 4-- And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,
Nehemiah knew of the GREAT AND TERRIBLE GOD OF HEAVEN---WHO REQUIRES His chosen to KEEP COVENANT of GOD--
5- And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:--CHRIST had given EVERY WORD to keep, Deut. 8: 3, to remove power of death, the devil, Lu. 4, Mt. 4 ---CHRIST fasted forty days and received power to REJECT DEVIL who offered Him the whole world, read in Mt. 4, Lu. 4!
· Fasting is a way LORD had made for His people to OBEY HIM!
· He had made days of fasting ---Zec. 8: 19 to fast and pray for those who love JERUSALEM and Judah
· DAY OF ATONEMENT is a lesson for us how to fast!
· This is a SERIOUS TIME when LORD is punishing earth—
· He would punish those whom HE HAD CALLED, Am 3; 2
GOD’S people should NOT TAKE HIS WORK
ESTABLISHING EVERLASTING COVENANT As a LIGHT THING!
Isa 24:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
Isa 26:21- For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
Am 3:2 -You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
Neh. 1: 6 Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father’s house have sinned.
7 We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.
8 Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:
9 But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there.
Nehemiah corrected SABBATH KEEPING, Neh. 13: 15-22
We read how Nehemiah corrected Levi, Neh. 13; 29-31
Please read books of Nehemiah and Ezra
Ezra---
Ezra corrected ISRAEL understanding iniquities of ISRAEL, Ezra 9: 5-11, and people wept bitterly when they UNDERSTOOD, Ezra 10: 1
PART 3 –
MYSTERY OF FATHER AND OF CHRIST Col 2; 2 is known as IN CHRIST DWELLING all the FULLNESS OF GODHEAD BODILY, vs. 9
Commandment of EVERLASTING LIFE and BAPTIZM unto HIS DEATH is
Preached by WORD OF GOD
Through Mystery of GOD and JESUS CHRIST
Col 2; 2---the MYSTERY of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
6 -As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
9- For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
· In CHRIST lives FULNESS of GODHEAD BODILY! (GOD OF WHOLE EARTH, HUSBAND OF ISRAEL , Isa 54; 5)
· We worship ALMIGHTY AND LAMB, as TEMPLE, LIGHT (Light as Righteousness, Ps. 37: 7) given by CHRIST the LAMB, Rev. 21; 22, 23, HE is ONE GOD, Zec. 14; 9—(He gives Righteousness to us when He takes away SIN from us, as we are CRUCIFIED WITH HIM, Rom. 6; 6, 7)
1 Jn. 5; 20- And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
Read Col 2: 2, 9 (Mystery of God as FATHER and SON) in --
No. 1045 There shall be ONE GOD Zec.14. 9 MYSTERY of FATHER AND SON Col 2.2 GODHEAD as FATHER Col 2.9 came to finish HIS WORKS AS SON Jn.5.36 to finish FAITH Heb. 12. 2
Heb 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.
ALL FLESH are called by FAITH of Abraham --Rom. 4; 16-Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
· COUNSELS of ALMIGHTY are forever, who creates sons of COVENANT through FAITH in ALMIGHTY--
Ps 115:3 -But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased.
To fulfill Commandment of EVERLASTING LIFE, Jn.12: 49-50, JESUS CHRIST died on His Cross, and EVERLASTING LIFE as a GIFT is given to believing brethren, Rom. 6; 22, 23, through baptizm unto His death, Rom.6: 3-23, ETERNAL LIFE is knowledge of GOD, Jn. 17: 3, Knowledge of God has to be received through HOLY SPIRIT, from whole bible, which are WORDS, Jn. 6: 63, to establish EVERLASTING COVENANT, people should know His words as life-giving words, Jn. 6; 63.
· Knowledge of God should be in us from all words of BIBLE, so that we receive knowledge of HIS HOLINESS, GODLINESS, LIGHT as RIGHTEOUSNESS, Ps.37: 6, in view of EVERLASTING COVENANT for which HE SHED HIS BLOOD, Heb. 10: 7-14, Heb. 13; 20, Mt. 26: 28---
· Human SPIRIT differs from HOLY SPIRIT ----(an example through--- 1 Thes 4; 1-8 was written in No. 1055, our understanding according to HUMAN SPIRIT is different from HOLY SPIRIT as explained)
· So knowledge of HOLY SPIRIT has to be received from ALL THE WORDS OF BIBLE so that believers never BREAK EVERLASTING COVENANT, Isa 59; 21, which is established amidst PCG Eze. 16: 60-63.
(In view of BLOOD of EVERLASTING COVENANT, Heb. 13: 20)
JESUS CHRIST as LAMB was counseled to shed Blood of Covenant,
(1 Pe 1: 19-20, Mt. 26; 28)
Therefore JESUS CHRIST received the Commandment of
EVERLASTING LIFE
Jn. 12: 49 -For I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father which sent Me, He gave Me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 -And I know that His commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto Me, so I speak.
The promise to His believers of EVERLASTING LIFE,
(Eternal Life, Tit 1:2) was manifested by HIS DEATH on CROSS
Tit 1: 1--According to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
2-In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;--ETERNAL LIFE is given by baptismal words of Rom. 6, as GIFT, vv. 22-23
3-But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
Baptizm unto His death is therefore preached according to the Commandment of God our saviour. (Rom. 4: 24-believe on Him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 25-Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification).—therefore CHRIST was portrayed as CRUCIFIED, Gal. 3: 1
· True servants of God to preach CHRIST CRUCIFIED!
TO FULFILL Commandment of Eternal life
CHRIST prepared HIMSELF for HIS DEATH through MUCH PRAYER
Mt. 26: 36 -Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
38-Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
39-And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
42 -He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
44-And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
46-Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
47- And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came,
49-And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
PCG leader knew that PCG is Laodicean
“Hosea and God’s adulterous wife” booklet –By G. Flurry-(1st edition) Page3—
Gerald Flurry wrote---The first child that came out of the LAODECIAN WIFE--- IN THE LATTER DAYS was the PCG. And the PCG is the ONLY ONE OF
THESE THREE CHILDREN WHO WAS BEGOTTEN BY CHRIST
Message to Laodiceans
Col 2: 1 -For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
2 -That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the MYSTERY of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
6 -As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
9- For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
· In CHRIST lives FULNESS of GODHEAD BODILY!
WCG, PCG had preached through H. W. Armstrong of a mystery of Ages which had deceived people of God and ALSO through the WATER baptizm of John, when CHRIST said to be baptized to receive HOLY SPIRIT, Acts. 1: 5
Read below that in history ARK OF COVENANT had saved ISRAEL from ENEMIES---in present time, LORD came a second time to give SALVATION, Heb. 9: 28, that is to SAVE people from spiritual enemies in church (history of ISRAEL KINGS had proved they themselves as enemies against TRUE WORSHIPPING!)
· GOD was in CHRIST to save HIS BELIEVERS, 2 Co 5; 19, to die and shed His blood of NEW COVENANT, that was the ANSWER TO SAVE HIS PEOPLE!
· GOD OF WHOLE EARTH had COUNSELED the BEST WAY to save HIS PEOPLE by being LAMB, 1 Pe 1: 19-20, Isa 53!
· HE PREPARES Philadelphia Church of God (PCG) TO BE ESTABLISHED as 1st fruits of EVERLASTING COVENANT, Eze. 16; 60-63.
· The NEW ARK is seen to be established shortly in KINGDOM OF GOD , Rev. 11; 15, 19.
· CHRIST said to be BAPTIZED to be SAVED, Mr.16: 16, not to water, but to Him to receive HOLY SPIRIT, Acts. 1; 5.
SO THROUGH The NEW ARK, Rev. 11: 19, believers of CHRIST would be established when SAVED from all enemies, JUST AS 1 Sam 4: 3 records (written below).
Why did LORD bring enemies as Assyrian to JERUSALEM and Judah
Enemies of JERUSALEM and Judah had appeared as LORD had brought them against His church--
· Today LORD had brought Assyrian, Isa 7: 17,
· JERUSALEM became SPIRITUAL Egypt, Rev. 11: 8
· LORD gave Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar, Eze. 29: 19-20
Eze.29: 19-Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;
20- I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD.
Ark of Covenant saves His people from enemies –
Ark of COVENANT saves people from enemies---1Sa 4:3 -And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.
· 1 Sam. 4 tells us how LORD destroyed Eli and sons, for Eli did not restrain his sons when they were VILE. Eli honoured his sons more than LORD, Philistines captured the ARK of COVENANT, 1 Sam 4: 5-18, prophesy for ELI would fulfill "IN THAT DAY", 1 Sam 3: 11-14. When children of ISRAEL put away BAALS and ASHTORETH, to SERVE THE LORD, ARK of COVENANT came to them from Philistines, 1 Sam 7.
Shiloh came in Judah--Gen. 49: 10 -The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
Shiloh came as BRANCH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS ---Jer 33:15-In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.
Government with Covenant of Peace, Isa 9: 6 ---Peace from Cross, by His blood, Col 1: 20, was shed for EVERLASTING COVENANT, the ARK OF Covenant seen in Rev. 11; 19, in Kingdom of God, Rev. 11; 15,
JESUS CHRIST said to receive the same baptizm to be SAVED,
· Acts. 1: 5-- For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
JESUS CHRIST said to receive the same baptizm to be SAVED, Mr 16; 16-- He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
So we see HIS SPIRIT, Jn. 6: 63, the HOLY SPIRIT given through BAPTIZM, Acts. 2; 38, 39, as HIS MERCY through ministration of SPIRIT, of COVENANT and of RIGHTEOUSNESS, 2 Co 3; 6-9, teaches HOW HE SAVES HIS PEOPLE from false teachers—so that His believers would worship HIM in TRUTH AND IN SPIRIT, Jn. 4; 23,24.
· The summary is ALL THINGS in HIS CHURCH are established BY HIS WORDS,----not by men’s words
Thus mystery of “CHRIST in YOU” hidden for ages is ESTABLISHED IN PRESENT TIMES for Covenant of Peace and then His rebukes would END as LORD Has MERCY on ISRAEL Isa 54
Isa 54: 8 --In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.
· His mercy endures forever, HIS WORDS ENDURES FOREVER, we are led by HIS WORDS, the HOLY SPIRIT!
SABBATH is a sign forever, Ex. 31.17—
Worshipping on SABBATHS and HOLY DAYS glorifies GOD OF ISRAEL for saving ISRAEL from Egypt, and for ISRAEL to know HIS ALMIGHTY POWERS over HIS WORLD, to understand their GOD, the POSSESSOR OF HIS CHURCH, Deut.5:12-15, Ex 20: 1, 8-10-- Num 15.37, 41, 38-40-- Deut. 16:9-12, Nu 16: 9.

1 Jn.4;7-every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God--- MINISTRY could prove that they LOVE GOD and ONE ANOTHER if they are BORN OF GOD by words of Gal. 3: 26-29, they have to PUT ON CHRIST by baptizm, Gal. 3: 27. .
Born of God, --Then “CHRIST forms in His ministers” 2 Co 13: 4-7.
No more Nebuchadnezzar, No more Assyrian, No more Jeroboams to deceive Levi!—Malachi Purification, Mal 3.1-5 would be complete!
1Co 15:24-Then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
ALL PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING GLORY AND HONOUR POWER AND MAJESTY BELONGS TO LAMB THE CRUCIFIED CHRIST, AMEN AND AMEN
