1124 CLOUD
of WITNESSES Heb. 12.1 gives understanding of CROSS of CHRIST for PASSOVER to
receive Righteousness of Faith which Abraham had to become HEIR of world
Rom. 4.13
Ro
4:13-For the promise, that he
should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham,
or to his seed, through the law, but
through the righteousness of faith.
Read in this article---also of CHRIST as the
MINISTER OF CIRCUMCISION, through which HIS PEOPLE receive promises,
inheritance made known to fathers---Rom. 15; 8--- Now I say that Jesus
Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the
promises made unto the fathers:
THE CUP OF NEW TESTAMENT
Was SHED ON THE CROSS, so we should have
KNOWLEDGE of HIS CROSS….which was preserved knowledge from bible….
(And each believer could
find more facts at your own bible studies..)
Lu
22:20-Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This
cup is the new
testament in My blood,
which is shed for you.
1Co
11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when
he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament
in My blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me.

That
means we are to WORK TO BE ESTABLISHED in NEW TESTAMENT, Rev. 11; 19
Jesus the author and finisher of our
faith; through His cross Heb. 12.2--His faithfulness reacheth
unto the clouds, Ps 36:5. With His cloud of witnesses HE requires to LAY aside heaviness of SIN to run the RACE
set before us Heb. 12.1
THICK CLOUDS because He does not require to
see NOISE of WICKEDNESS in HIS Tabernacle, Job 36; 29—and HE WALKETH in CIRCUIT
OF HEAVEN, thick clouds as a covering to Him, Job 22.14
PART 1—
Very many counsels of CROSS OF
CHRIST is written in BIBLE, and all those are innumerable, ---countless!!!
They are ALL WITNESSES OF HIS CLOUD when HE CAME IN
CLOUDS, Eze. 30; 3, when HE SERVES AS AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF FAITH, Heb.12.1,
2, through CIRCUMCISION HE MINISTERS, Rom.5;18.
MOST HIGH creator purposed
---a determined counsel of making HIMSELF AS CRUCIFIED CHRIST, Acts. 2; 23, which is TRUTH, Gal.3; 1, and
HOUSE OF ISRAEL to know that JESUS IS BOTH LORD and CHRIST,
Acts.2; 36!
Ac
2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath
made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
Jn. 6; 62-- What and if ye shall see the Son of
man ascend up where he was before? ---the ONE ALMIGHTY GOD died as
CHRIST and ASCENDED where HE WAS BEFORE!
PART 2-- CROSS OF CHRIST ENABLED HIM TO BECOME BOTH
LORD AND CHRIST
INTRODUCTION
JESUS CHRIST
grants RIGHTEOUSNESS through HIM BEING CRUCIFIED, and when OUR OLD MAN BECOMES CRUCIFIED WITH
HIM, HENCEFORTH we should NOT SIN, Rom. 6; 6,
then OUR OLD MAN
is FORGIVEN for sins under LAW of Old covenant, Rom.6;7
, therefore TRUTH OF BEING HIM CRUCIFIED, Gal.
3; 1, ON HIS CROSS SAVES US FROM SIN and GRANTS RIGHTEOUSNESS TO SERVE
GOD ALMIGHTY who is RIGHTEOUS, He cannot see EVIL. Hab. 1; 13 ----
·
LORD
grants HIS SPIRIT with baptizm, Acts. 2; 38, therefore WHEN SPIRIT is HIS
WORDS, Jn. 6; 63, ---we follow those SPIRITUAL WORDS to LIVE in
NEW COVENANT –which is NEW TESTAMENT!
THE CUP OF NEW TESTAMENT
Was SHED ON THE CROSS
Lu
22:20-Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament
in My blood, which is shed for you.
1Co
11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when
he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament
in My blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me.

Which
means we are to WORK TO BE ESTABLISHED in NEW TESTAMENT, Rev. 11; 19
But Philadelphia Church of God as INNER
COURT, is being TRODDEN BY OUTER COURT, and those in OUTER COURT are a
generation before them, Ps 22; 30-31, they give messages of CHRIST our LORD to
them…

edition) ELI’S END---PARA 5---
The Philadelphia Church of God is not here just
as a symbol today—GOD SPEAKS FROM HERE!—We are the INNER COURT, WHERE GOD DWELLS.--The spiritual ark is here today.
·
But, inner court was given to be trodden by
OUTER COURT, Rev. 11; 1-4, because JERUSALEM Inner court had become as Egypt,
Rev. 11; 8!
·
SO INNER COURT need KNOWLEDGE OF HIS CROSS
that FORGIVES THEM to be established in NEW TESTAMENT TO
BE SEEN in Rev. 11; 19, in Kingdom of God, Rev. 11; 15.
Ro
4:13-For the promise, that he
should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham,
or to his seed, through the law, but
through the righteousness of faith.
·
When JESUS CHRIST came as MINISTER OF
CIRCUMCISION, Rom. 15; 8, people of GOD
should know to GET CIRCUMCISED OF HEARTS, by words of Col 2; 11-13 to be FREED
FROM LAW—
·
Then ALONE could they be FRRED FROM LAW to
BUILD UP FAITH in JESUS CHRIST , and HE GIVES A CLOUD OF WITNESSES, Heb. 12. 1,
as AUTHOR AND FINISHER of FAITH, Heb. 12;1, 2.
FAITH IS BY GRACE, Rom. 4; 16—AND GRACE is HIS DEATH, Heb. 2;
9---then GRACE comes to us by CRUCIFIED CHRIST, therefore CHRIST portrayed as
CRUCIFIED, Gal. 3;1
·
Therefore WE SHOULD LEARN of CROSS
OF CHRIST and how people did MOCK HIM without KNOWING that HE IS THE SAVIOUR OF
HIS WORLD, and the CHOSEN ISRAEL, who had been BREAKING HIS COVENANT forever!
·
PCG too broke the COVENANT, Eze.

To
the people of ISRAEL Acts.4;10-13
CROSS OF CHRIST is to be HONOURED
OBEDIENCE
to
SPRINKLING
OF HIS BLOOD is to be UNDERSTOOD
As
HIS BLOOD SHED ON CROSS, SANCTIFIES those
established in HIS CHURCH
1Pe
1:2-- Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling
of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be
multiplied.
Heb
12:24— And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of
Abel.
BLOOD OF Abel
is REQUIRED from this generation
Lu
11:51--From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which
perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this
generation.
Mt
23:35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood
of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son
of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
But BLOOD OF SPRINKING shed on HIS CROSS
FORGIVES SINS of ALL lived in earth!
· BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST FORGIVES sins of Old covenant, Rom. 6; 6, 7
· Abel was Righteous to have OFFERED A BETTER SACRIFICE than his
brother, Cain, ---and CAIN received a CURSE
Gen. 4; 1-16 says of CAIN and ABEL---how Cain
slew Abel for offering a Righteous sacrifice to ALMIGHTY and CAIN was cursed,
vs. 13
CAIN’S
descendants received a curse
Just
as Adam brought sin to the world, 1 Co 15: 45
Gen 4; 10-And he said, What hast thou
done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.
11
-And now art thou cursed from
the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy
hand;
12 -When thou tillest the
ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond
shalt thou be in the earth.
13 -And Cain said unto the LORD, My
punishment is greater than I
can bear.
14 -Behold, thou hast driven me out
this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I
shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall
slay me.
· Through CROSS OF CHRIST, He forgives all who lived, so that HE
FORGETS ALL SINNERS, He would see them all as RIGHTEOUS, when HE FORGIVES those
in this generation!
Sprinkle blood necessary on ALTAR, on those
serving in ALTAR, on their garments, Ex
29: 16-21, Lev. 1;5, Lev. 3;2, 8, 13, Lev. 4; 6, 17, Lev. 5;

Heb 12:24, Heb.

·
Old covenant is a pattern of heavenly
Covenant, Heb. 8; 5, but it was faulty, vs. 7. Perfection through CHRIST as
HIGH PRIEST OF Melchisedec Order, Heb. 7; 11, old covenant is a shadow of
HEAVENLY COVENANT to be PERFECT in SECOND COVENANT, Heb. 10:1-14
·
Well, we all should UNDERSTAND,
Heb
11:28--Through faith he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of blood,
lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
(Referring
to Moses, vs. 23-29)
·
It is FAITH
IN MOST HIGH that is necessary to WORSHIP HIM!
·
Moses was
faithful to teach GOD’S PEOPLE of HIS RIGHTEOUS SERVICE through LAW!
·
But ANIMALS
of OLD COVENANT sacrifices CANNOT MAKE ANY as RIGHTEOUS!
Heb. 9:13-- For if the blood
of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the
unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
·
IN OLD
COVENANT blood of animals were used to sanctify ---old covenant was as a
pattern to UNDERSTAND NEW COVENANT!
Perfection is
through CHRIST as HIGH PRIEST OF Melchisedec Order, Heb. 7; 11, old covenant is
a shadow of HEAVENLY COVENANT to be PERFECT in SECOND COVENANT, through HIS ONE OFFERING, Heb. 10: 7-10, 14.
IT
IS CROSS OF CHRIST THAT SAVES HIS PEOPLE, for all things needed in
COVENANT HAD BEEN INCLUDED IN HIS SACRIFICE on CROSS, so that BELIEVER would be ESTABLISHED IN
EVERLASTING COVENANT as generations of believers ARE ESTABLISHED in EVERLASTING
COVENANT, Isa 59; 21.
CROSS OF CHRIST is to be HONOURED
Ac
2:36 Therefore let all the house of
Israel know assuredly, that God hath
made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
Ac
4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to
all the people of Israel, that by the
name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here
before you whole.
Mt
10:38 -And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.—believers are to carry their burdens (sins)
and be CRUCIFIED with HIM, so that OLD MAN (who followed LAW) is crucified with
HIM, to be forgiven by HIS CROSS, Rom.
6; 6, 7

Mr
10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved
him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever
thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in
heaven: and come, take
up the cross, and follow me.
TREASURE in
HEAVEN-----that is to be PART OF HEAVENLY CHURCH of FIRST BORN, by HIS BLOOD OF
SPRINKLING, Heb.12; 22-25.

Lu
14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

1Co
1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize,
but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be
made of none effect.---PAUL
preached gospel of CROSS of CHRIST , the time to be baptized is the SECOND TIME
LORD came to give SALVATION, Heb. 9; 28, when He came in clouds, Eze. 30: 3-10
, when it is Malachi Purification, Mal 3.1-5

1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
·
Ga
5:11 --And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer
persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
·
Offence
of Cross is ceased when we hear CIRCUMCISION, as CHRIST is MINISTER of
CIRCUMCISION, Rom. 15; 8
·
Therefore
CIRCUMCISION of HEARTS, by baptizm, Col 2; 11-13 is given when you partake HIS
CUP OF NEW TESTAMENT, Mt. 26; 28,
·
HIS
BLOOD was SHED on HIS CROSS!
·
What
wonderful counsels are given for NEW TESTAMENT?
The "offence of the cross" Ga 5:11,
foolishness of Cross, 1 Co 1; 18, is the
offence the Jews took at the teaching that salvation was by CRUCIFIED CHRIST,
and by Him alone. Salvation by the cross was a stumbling-block to
the pride of Jews.--People of Jews did not believe CROSS of JESUS could SAVE
people!
Those who PERISH would think it is FOOLISH to believe IN HIS
CROSS!
·
For
PAUL believed in CROSS of CHRIST—1 Co 1; 18, Gal. 5; 11 and Ga 6:14 -But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross
of our Lord Jesus Christ, by
whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. (PAUL had a commission to the
world!)
·
Mt
28:5 And the angel answered and said
unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.-- 6 He is not here: for He is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord
lay.
JESUS CHRIST
PROVED HIS EVERLASTING LIFE ---HE CAME TO DIE AS LAMB to PERFECT HIS
COVENANT—and then HE WAS RISEN---Jn. 6; 62 makes us UNDERSTAND
THAT HE IS MOST HIGH ---FOREVER!
Jn.
6; 62-- What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was
before?
For that
purpose JESUS CHRIST came to the WORLD, DIED AND RAISED back PROVING HIS
ETERNAL LIFE, (He could raise by Himself, Jn. 10; 18, No other dead could rise from dead!!)
thus He is able to TAKE AWAY SINS of HIS BELIEVERS (Nailed them to HIS CROSS, Col 2; 14, so that they LIVE
BEFORE HIM without INIQUITY in them!
Col 2; 14-- Blotting out the handwriting of
ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of
the way, nailing it to His
cross;
ALL ERRORS of OLD COVENANT ---worshipping not
on appointed days, not performing His service, Not keeping His charge, being
wicked in church to sheep of God, Jer. 23, are some “that
was against us, which was contrary to us”
But CHRIST our LORD took
it out of the way, nailing
it to His cross!
·
You are SET FREE of breaking Covenant even!
·
We
should marvel at HIS WITNESSES OF CLOUD HE GIVES to create FAITH IN HIM, Heb.
12; 1, 2
CHRIST our LORD gives CIRCUMCISION of HEARTS
To ISRAEL and gentiles of FAR
Through TEACHINGS OF HOLY SPIRIT
Eph
2: 11---Wherefore remember, that ye being
in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which
is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; Gentiles, even sons of Ishmael now living,
are having circumcision of flesh--
Such
gentiles are made near to GOD OF ISRAEL by HIS BLOOD—vs. 12, 13—
(Eph. 2; 11-3 refers to gentile witnesses
who were made NIGH to the COVENANT of PROMISE, vs. 12, we received COVENANT and
SABBATHS, and knowledge of SALVATION, Isa 56; 1-7)
12
-That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth
of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and
without God in the world:
13-- But
now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of
Christ.
·
That is the
way GENTILE WITNESSES were made NIGH to GOD OF ISRAEL, by BLOOD OF CHRIST, EPF
2; 11-13—WE ARE THE EXAMPLE to FUTURE GENTILES who would come
to WORSHIP GOD OF ISRAEL---when BLOOD FORGAVE US, we should understand NOT TO INSULT BLOOD OF
COVENANT, they would get sever punishments if they INSULT, Heb. 10; 26-31!
· ALL FLESH coming to WORSHIP GOD should
understand TEACHINGS TO ISRAEL , Isa 66; 20
ENMITY between gentiles and ISRAEL is DONE
AWAY in
CHRIST our LORD
Eph.
2; 16 -And that he might reconcile both
unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity
thereby: ---Esau,
and ISRAEL, Ishmael and Isaac were at enmity; Ishmael persecutes EVEN NOW,
Gal. 4; 29 (--Gal.4; 29-But as then he
that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now)
17
--And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were
nigh.—so JESUS CHRIST came to
PREACH PEACE to ALL FLESH—ISRAEL or
gentiles, through BEING MINISTER OF CIRCUMCISION, Rom. 15; 8
ISRAEL OR ALL FLESH (gentiles) ARE
GIVEN HOLY SPIRIT
For worshipping in NEW COVENANT
Eph. 2; 18 -For through him we both have access by
one Spirit unto the Father.
STRANGERS
who worship JESUS CHRIST knowing HIS GRACE, as HIS DEATH, Heb. 2; 9, would be forgiven and then to serve in
RIGHTEOUSNESS, Rom. 6; 3-13, they ARE NOW NO MORE FOREIGNERS--
19
-Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with
the saints, and of the household of God;
Gentiles
or ISRAEL are to be built upon JESUS CHRIST and HIS WORDS given taught to
apostles and prophets-- 20-And
are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ
himself being the chief corner stone;
·
Understand---we are to be built upon WORDS OF
APOSTLES, PROPHETS, and JESUS
CHRIST as CORNER STONE of NEW TESTAMENT!
Mt.
10: 39-He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for
my sake shall find it.---IF you go
with the WORLD, you would NOT FIND LIFE IN EVERLASTING COVENANT---if you choose to BE CRUCIFIED with HIM, Rom. 6; 6, 7, would be BUILT IN EVERLASTING
COVENANT receiving PROMISE TO FATHERS, through CIRCUMCISION OF HEART, Col 2;
11-13, for JESUS CHRIST ministers CIRCUMCISION, Rom. 5; 18!
Mt.
10:40 -He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth
Him that sent Me. If apostles’ words are received, we receive CHRIST ---
When
we receive CHRIST as MEDIATOR OF COVENANT, we receive MOST HIGH ALMIGHTY!
·
That
is When CHRIST is MOST HIGH, Jn. 6; 62,
·
IT
IS HIS SACRIFICE and CIRCUMCISION HE GIVES through COL 2; 11-13, that is to be
BELIEVED and HONOURED to—“receive
Him that sent Me” Mt. 10; 40.
·
When MOST
HIGH CHRIST knows our hearts, when WE RECEIVE CIRCUMCISION of HEARTS BY
BAPTIZM, Col 2; 11-13, HE TAKES us as HIS BRETHREN, Rom. 8; 29.
Rom. 15; 8--- Now I say that Jesus
Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the
promises made unto the fathers:
·
All promises made known to those
have faith in HIS EVERLASTING COVENANT, are given to THOSE WHO WOULD HONOUR HIS
BAPTIZM which GRANT CIRCUMCISION, Col 2; 11-14
WHEN ONCE enlightened by HOLY
SPIRIT,
IT IS A DANGEROUS thing TO FALL
BACKWARDS
Heb.
6: 4 -For it is impossible for
those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were
made partakers of the HOLY SPIRIT,
5
-And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
Heb.
6: 6 -If they shall fall away, to
renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of
God afresh, and put him to an
open shame
People, who FALL AWAY, ARE
TRYING TO CRUCIFY to themselves
CHRIST AGAIN!!
THEREFORE
it is difficult FOR them to RENEW them
to
Repentance again is DIFFICULT!
Heb.
6: 6 -If they shall fall away, to
renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of
God afresh, and put
him to an open shame
·
COULD
WE CRUCIFY HIM AGAIN???
When HOLY
SPIRIT is given, they become TEMPLES , STORING HOLY SPIRIT, 1 Co 3; 16, and if
they destroy those TEMPLES, LORD would DESTROY them, VS. 17!
Mt
16:24 -Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross,
and follow Me.
·
FOLLOW HIM to be CRUCIFIED with HIM, to
destroy the OLD MAN in us, that is TO BE FREED FROM OLD COVENANT!
·
People did not know that JESUS
CHRIST died on the CROSS to save others—so they wanted CHRIST to escape CROSS–Mt 27:42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If
he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross,
and we will believe him.
CHRIST was OBEDIENT to CROSS
For it is HE AS MOST HIGH (Jn.6; 62) COUNSELED
LAMB before world began, 1 Pe 1; 19-20
Php
2:8-And being found in fashion as a
man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the
cross.
Col
1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross,
by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be
things in earth, or things in heaven.
JESUS
CHRIST DID NO EVIL as judged by Governor!
Mt.
26; 1 –And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said
unto his disciples,
2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the Passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be
crucified.
Mt
27:23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried
out the more, saying, Let him be
crucified.
(Thus He was judged BY THE GOVERNOR TOO as SINLESS)
CENTURIAN UNDERSTOOD that
JESUS CHRIST was the SON OF GOD
When he saw the MIRACLES occurred
with DEATH OF CHRIST
Mt.
27: 50 -Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the
ghost.
51
-And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain
from the top to the bottom; and the earth did
quake, and the rocks rent;
52
-And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53
-And came out of the
graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto
many.
54 -Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw
the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the
Son of God.
We should understand here----
·
The WONDERFUL COUNSELOR the MOST HIGH
FATHER, became as child, Isa 9: 6, to ESTABLISH HIS THRONE under a COVENANT OF
PEACE, Isa 9; 7, Eze. 37; 21-28,
·
for ALMIGHTY knew THE BEST COUNSEL to
save the WORLD according PURPOSE of HIS
WORLD, --------is in a COVENANT of PEACE
------through HIMSELF BEING LAMB ------TO WORSHIP HIM in TRUTH AND
THROUGH HIS SPIRIT, Jn. 4; 23, 24!
·
Therefore CHRIST our LORD grants HOLY
SPIRIT through baptizm, Jn. 1; 33, Acts.
2; 38, 39.
GOD
purposed CRUCIFIED JESUS CHRIST
TO
BE BOTH LORD AND CHRIST
Acts.2; 23---IT IS determined COUNSEL OF foreknowledge of GOD
(Counseled before world began, 1 Pe 1; 19-20)
Ac
2:23 -Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and
foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked
hands have crucified and slain:

Ac
2:36 Therefore let all the
house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same
Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and
Christ.
· ISRAEL people in those days, just as NOW, do
not understand HIS CROSS, to be established in EVERLASTING COVENANT, Eze.16;
60-63’
· PCG --DELAYS the establishment of EVERLASTING
COVENANT!
MOST HIGH creator purposed ---a determined counsel of making HIMSELF
AS CRUCIFIED CHRIST, Acts. 2; 23, which is TRUTH, Gal.3; 1, and HOUSE
OF ISRAEL to know that JESUS IS LORD and CHRIST, Acts.2; 36!
MOST
HIGH COUNSELED JESUS CHRIST as
CORNER
STONE
Peter
and John were BOLD TO PREACH GOSPEL OF CROSS
To
the people of ISRAEL Acts.4;10-13
Ac
4:10 -Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the
name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from
the dead,
11-This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12-Neither is there salvation in any
other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we
must be saved.
13
-Now when they saw the boldness
of Peter and John,
and perceived that they
were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and
they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
·
Understanding words of Peter and John who
were UNLEARNED and IGNORANT---, KNEW THEY GOT KNOWLEDGE from JESUS CHRIST !

They preached SALVATION from JESUS CHRIST
---NO OTHER could SAVE THE WORLD!
·
POSSESSOR
OF THIS WORLD, THE MOST HIGH needs HIS EVERLASTING COVENANT to be MADE for HE
IS HEAD of PRIESTS, in Melchisedec Order!
Part
2—
CROSS
OF CHRIST
ENABLED
HIM TO BECOME BOTH LORD AND CHRIST
-- Ac 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know
assuredly, that God hath made that
same Jesus, whom ye
have crucified, both Lord
and Christ.
Ac
4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to
all the people of Israel, that by the
name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here
before you whole.
·
THEREFORE we should understand MORE
ON HIS CROSS!
Mt
10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and
followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
Lu
14:27 -And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me,
cannot be my disciple.
·
We are to
take OUR SINS, the burdens that forbid SALVATION, and follow JESUS CHRIST
HE GIVES VERY MANY COUNSELS
·
Mr
10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved
him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever
thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou
shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.---worldly things cannot be made use
in HEAVENLY CHURCH, Heb. 12; 22-25
·
1Co
1:17--For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with
wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none
effect.—PAUL or anyone cannot
baptize unto CHRIST ---EACH ONE OF US to
have FAITH in HIS CROSS, that SAVES US through very many witnesses given, Heb.
12; 1
·
BELIEVING in
COUNSELS of HIS CROSS –SAVES US—
1Co 1:18 -For the
preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power
of God.
That
is POWER OF GOD for SALVATION is from HIS CROSS!
Salvation by the cross was a
stumbling-block to the pride of Jews.
People of Jews did not believe CROSS of JESUS
could SAVE people!
·
But
PAUL said—1 Co 1; 18, Gal. 5; 11 and Ga 6:14 -But God forbid that I
should glory, save in the cross
of our Lord Jesus Christ, by
whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. (PAUL had a commission to the world!)---TODAY—we learn
from PAUL, Rom. 15; 16
·
Mt
28:5 And the angel answered and said
unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know
that ye seek Jesus, which was
crucified.-- 6 He is not
here: for He is risen, as he
said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
For
that purpose JESUS CHRIST came to the WORLD, DIED AND RAISED back PROVING HIS
ETERNAL LIFE, thus able to TAKE AWAY SINS of HIS BELIEVERS so that they LIVE
BEFORE HIM without INIQUITY in them!
WORKS
OF CROSS
Eph 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in
one body by the cross,
having slain the enmity thereby:
18 For through him we both have access by one
Spirit unto the Father.
19 Now therefore ye are no more
strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and
of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the
apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
·
The WORLD IS MADE TO KNOW THEIR
ONLY GOD through CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST !
They are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of
God
No
one living NOT HAVING VISION OF EVERLASTING COVENANT
CANNOT
HAVE LIFE in GOD’S CHURCH
Mt.
10: 39 --He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life
for my sake shall find it.---IF your old
man be crucified with Him, Rom. 6; 6, 7,
you are FREED from SIN and SAVED TO ENTER HIS GLORIOUS CHURCH, Eph. 5; 27,
40
-He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him
that sent me.
·
CHRIST as
MEDIATOR of NEW COVENANT has to be believed to DO HIS WORDS, to WORSHIP GOD in
SPIRIT AND TRUTH, Jn. 4; 23, 24
At the SAME TIME, THOSE WHO ARE
SAVED by HIS BLOOD
Should be VERY CAREFUL, Heb. 6:4-6,
to observe
EVERY WORD OF HIS, Lu.4; 4, Mt. 4; 4
Heb.
6: 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have
tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the
powers of the world to come,
6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again
unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and
put him to an open shame
·
People
did not know that JESUS CHRIST died on the CROSS to save others—so they wanted
CHRIST to escape CROSS–Mt
27:42 He saved others; himself he cannot
save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross,
and we will believe him.
·
When CHRIST admonishes, we should HAVE FAITH
to DO BE DOERS of HIS WORDS!—
·
Now, in Mt. 27; 42, CHRIST
had not specifically OR CLEARLY, made known of HIS RESURRECTION!
BUT NOW---He had given WITNESSES OF CLOUD to build FAITH, Heb. 12; 1, 2.
CHRIST
humbled to die on CROSS--Php
2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled
himself, and became obedient unto
death, even the death of the cross. (read 2 Co 4, and 5 to know how He
clothes us when we have DYING LORD IN OUR BODY, 2 Co 4; 10)
·
When
you do not understand and believe, SUCH ARE ENEMIES OF HIS CROSS AND HIS WORKS
through HIS CROSS, Php
3:18 (For many walk, of whom I have told
you often, and now tell you even
weeping, that they are the
enemies of the cross of Christ:
·
If
ministry does not understand HIS CROSS, what could they TEACH THE PEOPLE!---they
become FALSE CHRISTS!
IF
WE RECEIVE PEACE---IT IS FROM HIS CROSS---Col 1:20 And, having made
peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all
things unto himself; by him, I say,
whether they be things in
earth, or things in heaven.
HE
WAS betrayed to be CRUCIFIED
Mt.
26; 1 –And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said
unto his disciples,
2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the Passover, and the Son
of man is betrayed to be crucified.
Mt
27:23 And the governor said, Why, what
evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. (Thus He was judged BY THE GOVERNOR TOO as SINLESS)
. CENTURIAN UNDERSTOOD that
JESUS CHRIST was the SON OF GOD
When he saw the MIRACLES occurred
with DEATH OF CHRIST
Mt.
27: 50 -Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51
-And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the
top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52
-And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints
which slept arose,
53 And came out of the graves after his
resurrection, and went
into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
54
Now when the centurion, and they
that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that
were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
·
People
needed SIGNS!
Joh
4:48 -Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders,
ye will not believe.
Joh
20:30 -And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of
his disciples, which are not written in this book:
Ac
2:19 -And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
· As written ---signs of heavenly bodies ---signs of earth beneath
(earth quakes, Tsunamis)---Blood (wars as written in Mt. 24, wild fires,
smoke---they picture SPIRITUAL as
· CHRIST
our LORD as HAVING THRONE IN HEAVEN, Ps 89; 29, Rev. 4, ruling gentiles, Rom. 15; 12, ----SPIRITUAL FIRE, HIS WORDS as
FIRE, Jer. 5; 14. Compares WICKEDNESS as SMOKE ascending up, Isa 9; 18,
SPIRITUAL QUAKES in MINDS!
Ac
2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of
God among you by miracles and wonders
and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye
yourselves also know:
Ac
4:30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs
and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child
Jesus.
LORD
had given SIGNS in Egypt when ISRAEL HIS 1ST BORN, Ex 4; 22, was brought out from Egypt--Ac 7:36 He brought them out, after that he had shewed
wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and
in the wilderness forty years.
BY SIGNS BY POWER OF SPIRIT OF GOD
We are to PREACH HIS GOSPEL!
Ro
15:19 Through mighty signs
and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and
round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
Well, Satan too would make false CHRISTS to give SIGNS and WONDERS! 2Th 2:9 Even
him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
·
Such false CHRISTS do not preach
SALVATION FROM HIS DEATH ON HIS CROSS, and of HIS BLOOD AND SPIRIT, (for now
CHRIST is SPIRIT, 2 Co 3; 17, not a man in flesh) ---HE IS CELESTIAL, 1 Co 15;
40-45)
THOSE
WHO DO NOT EXALT HIS CROSS, would DECIEVE OTHERS---Mt 24:24--For there shall arise
false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders;
insomuch that, if it were
possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
GOD
MADE CRUCIFIED JESUS CHRIST
BOTH
LORD AND CHRIST
There is NO OTHER who could give SALVATION
All leaders of church had died and are SILENT STONES!
Ac
2:23 -Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God,
ye have taken, and by wicked hands
have crucified and slain:
Ac
2:36 Therefore let all the house of
Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus,
whom ye have crucified, both
Lord and Christ.
Ac 4:10
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the
name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God
raised from the dead,
11 -This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is
become the head of the corner.
12-Neither is there salvation in any
other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we
must be saved.
FALSE CHRISTS made a COVENANT with
DEATH, telling LIES, and LORD SENDS an OVERFLOWING SCOURGE to ANNUL their
COVENANT with DEATH, Isa 28: 16-18 , but CHRIST AS TRIED STONE on CROSS saves
them WHEN THEY have FAITH IN COUNSELS OF HIS CROSS, HIS DEATH and RESURRECTION,
and when they believe in HIS CIRCUMCISION which HE MINISTERS, Rom. 15: 8, by words of Col 2; 11-14.
THE
TRIED STONE, the SURE FOUNDATION OF ZION
Isa
28: 16 Therefore thus saith the Lord
GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion
for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that
believeth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and
righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies,
and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
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.
Read Isa 28 explained in No. 1092 in www.restoringcaptivity.com
Therefore THOSE THAT
TRUST THE LORD as SURE FOUNDATION, A STONE, THE ONLY PRECIOUS CORNER STONE, TRIED BY HIS CROSS, Isa 28;
16, are as ZION , Ps 125; 1, 2
Ps 125; 1--They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever.
2 As
the mountains are round about
Jerusalem, so the LORD is round
about his people from henceforth even forever.
3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon
the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto
iniquity.
UNLESS LORD
builds the house, it is VAIN, Ps 127!
JESUS CHRIST has the SPIRIT OF PROPHECIES as
HIS TESTIMONY, Rev. 19; 10, that is prophecies explain HIS EVERLASTING LIFE
which we should KNOW through PROPHECIES!
Ps.108 ; 8—Judah is My lawgiver. (Psalms are about JESUS CHRIST, Lu.
24; 44-45)
Lu.
24: 44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you,
while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written
in the law of Moses, and in the
prophets, and in the psalms,
concerning me.
45 -Then opened he their understanding, that they might
understand the scriptures,
46
-And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer,
and to rise from the dead the third day:
47-And
that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations,
beginning at Jerusalem---Repentance
and forgiveness is when one has FAITH in baptismal words, Rom. 6: 3-23.
·
With
BAPTIZM UNTO CHRIST, you are GIVEN ALL THE STRENGTH TO BE ESTABLISHED in
EVERLASTING COVENANT, Isa 59; 21, for ALL ARE CALLED IN HIS COVENANT,
Deut. 29; 10-15.
48-And
ye are witnesses of these things.
49 And, behold, I send
the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until
ye be endued with power from on high.
Much
is to be written on CROSS OF CHRIST –but in short, husband of ISRAEL, the Redeemer
of wife, the GOD of WHOLE EARTH REDEEMS WIFE, Isa. 54; 5, by THE COUNSEL OF
CROSS!
Therefore,
the TRUTH OF CHRIST is HIM PORTRAYED as CRUCIFIED, Gal 3; 1
Testimony
of JESUS CHRIST is SPIRIT of PROPHECY, Revelations 19; 10
PROPHECIES
ARE for GOD’S PEOPLE of Judah and JERUSALEM to PROSPER!! ---TO ESTABLISH
THEM!—BELIEVE IN GOD!!
2 Chr. 20: 20----Hear me, O
Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe His prophets, so shall ye prosper.---
·
But
PCG trumpets the world that PROPHECIES are for THE WORLD!!
God is
righteous---God sent all prophets to Gerald Flurry to ESTABLISH THEM, but they
did not repent of abominations!—(Jeremiah.
44: 4, 5),--
To be
continued…
ALL PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING GLORY AND HONOUR
POWER AND MAJESTY BELONGS TO LAMB THE CRUCIFIED CHRIST, AMEN AND AMEN
