When you DO NOT serve GOD truly,
and become a DESTROYING MOUNTAIN, LORD would not make them a STONE for a CORNER
or as a STONE OF FOUNDATION—Jer. 51; 24-26
Jer. 51; 24-And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of
Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the
LORD.
25 Behold, I am against thee, O destroying
mountain, saith the LORD,
26 And they shall not take of thee a stone for
a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate
forever, saith the LORD.
CHRIST our LORD would USE THE WHITE STONE
Of OPHIR, Rev. 2;17
(Read below)
Queen
of Ophir serve CHRIST our LORD in building house of God, Zec. 6;15
Zec. 6;15-- And they that are far off shall come and build
in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me
unto you. And this shall come
to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.
CHRIST our LORD hated doctrine of Nicolaitans which is
offering to IDOLS and FORNICATION, Rev. 2;12-15,
so did SERVANTS
OF Tarshish, the QUEEN OF OPHIR!
LORD hates doctrine of NICOLAITANS,
Which is eating things sacrificed
to IDOLS, and COMMITTING
FORNICATION, Rev.2;12-15, but one who OVERCAME is given a STONE
and a NEW NAME written in that STONE,
ONLY that PERSON would KNOW THE NAME, Rev. 2;17
Rev. 2: 12 -And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write;
These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
14 -But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast
there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a
stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
15 -So hast thou also
them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
17-- To him that overcometh will I give to
eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a
new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Who had proved against IDOLS and
COMMITTING FORNICATION
Thus
HATING DOCTRINE OF NICOLAITONS which LORD hates?
Prove it is QUEEN OF OPHIR in SHIPS OF
Tarshish,
Who wrote against DOCTRINE OF

“Ophir”
as “Nuwara Eliya-Sri Lanka” was recorded in an English history book, I had read, (of Sir William Smith) –I also had
read in a book of gemology that a man named Ophir from Hyderabad, India who was
a specialist in gems, had visited Nuwara Eliya for gold!
A report on
NUWARA ELIYA GOLD
Written by Professor Atula Senaratne
Professor
of Geology, University of
Peradeniya
The native gold found in
the mine had shapes varying from nuggets to dendritic form and sizes up to
several centimeters in length. During the British rule of the country gold
has been mined (Le Mesurier, 1893) from a vein like body in Ramboda (Fig. 1), which
had a concentration of 28g per tonne of ore and also they found small
quantities in the Nuwara
Eliya area.
Gold in small amounts has been reported (Ceylon Administrative Reports: Part
IV, 1905)
In modern Sri Lanka, two
main episodes of gold mining are evident. The first in 1850s in Mahaoya
area, the second in early 1900 in Nuwara Eliya among
tea plantations and
the third being the last in 2014 Gold rush at Kelaniya river, not too far away
from Colombo. In 1903, Dr.
Coomaraswamy, the Government Mineralogist of then Ceylon, has reported to
the Government of Her Majesty, Gold has been found in extractable
quantities in rivers from many areas of Sri Lanka.

Below are Quotes from the article on GOLD of OPHIR copied
from “THE TRUMEPT MAGAZINE” (Of Philadelphia Church of God)
Proof of the Mystical ‘Gold of Ophir’ Discovered
A Hebrew ostracon provides
proof of the enigmatic region of Ophir.
By Marianna Bala’a •
December 14, 2020
An ostracon (a pottery shard containing an inscription)
found during the 1946 archaeological excavations of Tell Qasile (a site in Tel
Aviv) validates the existence of that “pot of wealth”—Ophir.
Some believe Ophir is in Sri Lanka or India;---
2 Chronicles 9:21 tells us that the king’s ships
were gone for three years at
a time, and when they came back, they brought gold, silver, ivory, apes and
peacocks. The port from which the king’s ships left to gather gold
of Ophir is described in 1 Kings 9, referring to the one in the south—near
Eilat, located in the Gulf of Aqaba, which connects to the Red Sea. Considering this port opened out to the
Indian Ocean, it wouldn’t make sense for this fleet to go to South America for the gold, and
Saudi Arabia would be too close for such a long trip. In addition, Saudi
Arabia does not have many of these exotic items. It’s possible the fleet
went to Australia or even east Africa, but it appears the gold of Ophir most
likely came from the area of India, or perhaps Sri Lanka.
The Hebrew words translated as “ivory,” “apes” and
“peacocks” in 2 Chronicles 9:21 are all of a foreign origin, relating commonly
to India. --- it seems highly
likely Ophir might be in or around India.

Quotes from A SRILANKAN writer’s article--
When ancient Serendib lured Jewish ships
Friday, March
12, 2021 - 01:00—CEYLON DAILY NEWS
Print Edition Features
Dishan Joseph
King Solomon is said to have sent out his experienced
naval fleet to an island in the East. The East in that era
referred to the Orient, including Asia. It is from these ports that he obtained his cinnamon oil,
along with peacocks and animals. He procured sandalwood, pepper, ivory, pearls
and gems – items found abundantly in Sri Lanka. The long return journey took three years, a most
daunting voyage (Book of Kings, Chapter 1, verse 23). Solomon had an
established naval fleet which empowered Israel to excel in commercial trading.
Chapter 9 of 2nd Chronicles talks of Solomon’s alliance for trade.
For decades,
theologians and historians have intensely debated about the location of
Tarshish, on the ancient mariner’s map. Many opine it is either the ancient port of Ophir
located in India or Galle in Serendib (Sri Lanka). Others opine it
could be Carthage (the second largest city in the Hellenistic period) in the
sea of Tunisia. Ophir in India is said to be on the
Kerala coast, in the Trivandrum District. In contrast, the 10th century lexicographer David Abraham thinks Ophir was an exotic
location in old Ceylon.
Psalm 72 says that Tarshish was an island far away; it
had rivers and forests. The Old Testament
book of Ezekiel mentions trade
ties with Tarshish, and ships of commerce. Whether Sri Lanka was known to the
ancient Jews as Tarshish we can’t confirm, but can we assume
that King Solomon got all his tropical delights from here?
The old skill of
trading in peacocks is attributed to the Dravidian people. Ancient Tamils used
this skill, and to date the peacock
is a revered bird in the Hindu kovils in
India and Sri Lanka. In his book of 1863, Sir William Smith attests that the classical Tamil name for
peacock ‘thogkai’ was assimilated into Hebrew lingo for peacock, as
‘thukkiyyim’. This can support the cause that Solomon’s fleet sailed to our exotic island which still
has thousands of peacocks. In 1845, James Emerson Tennant, the presiding
Colonial Secretary also supported the fact that Solomon’s fleet had traded in Galle. Samuel
Bochart (French Biblical scholar) tries to convince us that the Kudiramalai area of old Ceylon
was the port of Tarshish. The old Phoenicians also recorded their trade in Tarshish where
they got ivory and gems, from an island. Some opine the Phoenicians
lived in Galilee, Israel, in lands gifted to Hiram by King Solomon. Solomon probably acquired expensive sapphires and rubies from ancient
Serandib, which directs us to another fact.
After building the
Temple of Jerusalem, Solomon was instructed on sewing of the attire of the high
priests (of the chosen Levite clan). Their ‘ephod’ (breastplate) had to be
adorned with 12 gems, one for each tribe of Israel. These gems may have been taken from Tarshish. King
Solomon’s throne (1 Kings, Chapter 10) was made with ivory and gold and inlaid
with precious stones. The arms of the throne depicted two lions. Among the birds and
animals engraved into the
throne is a peacock. Did Solomon purchase these gems
from Serendib?
The Queen of Sheba may have traded
with the island of the East. She gifted Solomon with spices and precious stones.
She was of Ethiopian descent (old Kingdom of Nubia) but some say she is from Saba (South of Saudi Arabia)
towards Yemen

Ps 50:23 -Whoso offereth praise glorifieth Me:
and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of
God.
How
could one who glorifieth could PRAISE HIM? How could he order his conversation

By
understanding that The SLAIN
LAMB received GLORY AND POWER, HONOUR, RICHES, WISDOM, STRENGTH,
BLESSING
Rev. 5: 12--- Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that
was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour,
and glory, and blessing.
Now, could we PRAISE HIM for BEING SLAIN LAMB who received all above
blessings for SECOND COVENANT, for which HE SHED HIS BLOOD, Heb. 13: 20?
·
Slain
LAMB is CRUCIFIED CHRIST
And CHRIST said—
Jn. 17: 1--Father, the hour is come; glorify thy
Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
·
It is SLAIN LAMB who received GLORY, Rev. 5: 12—CRUCIFIED SON/ in other
words CRUCIFIED CHRIST received GLORY!
Order your conversation right
to receive SALVATION
And PRAISE HIM to GLORYFY HIM,
Ps.50: 23
Rom. 8: 16-The Spirit
itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: SPIRIT of GOD witness with our
spirit, then we believe that we are CHILDREN of GOD,
Rom. 8: 16
17 - And if children,
then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer
with Him, that we may be also
glorified together.
·
HIS SPIRIT (His SPIRIT, words of Life,
Jn. 6; 63) counsels us to be GLORIFIED
together with GLORIFIED LAMB—through SUFFERING with HIM--
Look, it is SLAIN LAMB who received
GLORY, Rev. 5: 12,
and we are to suffer
with Him, that we may be also
glorified together, Rom. 8: 17.
·
How
should we suffer with Him?
By Rom.6: 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.
·
BODY
of SIN has to be destroyed as HE CANNOT SEE EVIL, Hab. 1; 13, and --henceforth we should not serve sin, Rom. 6: 6---
For he that is dead is freed from sin, vs. 7
·
By
counsel of HIS SPIRIT, we are to reckon to be DEAD
TO SIN, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our LORD, Rom. 6: 11.
That
is just as SLAIN LAMB received HIS LIFE back and was GLORIFIED, Rev. 5: 12,
we children of God, are to be GLORIFIED together with CRUCIFIED CHRIST
(CRUCIFIED LAMB), through BAPTIZM unto HIS
DEATH, to be GLORIFIED with Him, as having NEWNESS OF
LIFE!
(CHRIST
as LAMB died, and was RESURRECTED by HIS OWN POWER, Jn. 10: 18,---that is He
died and was born again, and raised to heaven, Acts. 1: 9. Similarly we are to be raised in NEWNESS OF LIFE, by
baptizm, Rom. 6: 3-7, to meet Him in AIR, 1 Thes 4: 17, (all to be as in a
mountain, it is NEW JERUSALEM, Rev. 21; 10, that is how bride as NEW JERUSALEM
forms, Rev. 21: 1-3, meeting LORD IN AIR, 1 Thes 4: 17). Thus NEW JERUSALEM is
HEAVENLY!
Sin brought spiritual death
(Natural people sin and live, but when WE ARE TO BE LIVING IN
SPIRIT, as temples, 1 Co 3: 16 in SECOND COVENANT, Heb. 10:
7-10, we should seek forgiveness by Rom.
6: 3-7)
Rom. 5: 21-That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might
grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Sin brought spiritual death
His GRACE (tasting death for
everyone, Heb. 2; 9)
Brought ETERNAL LIFE by
CHRIST
We have to
understand that CHRIST as LAMB was
Made to SUFFER to be
GLORIFIED through HIS DEATH
Heb. 2: 9-Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death,
crowned with glory and honour;
that He by the grace of God
should taste death for every man.
When GRACE is poured
when children are BAPTIZED unto
HIS DEATH, GRACE reigns through
Righteousness unto
ETERNAL LIFE, Rom. 5; 21, that is SALVATION;
(Saved by baptizm, or be damned, as CHRIST said, Mr: 16: 16)
Rom. 5: 21-That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through
righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
CHRIST’S baptizm is
counseled
So that children
(heirs, Rom. 8: 17) should NOT CONTINUE
in SIN
Rom. 6: 1 - What shall we
say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?—we Understand that SPIRITUAL
GRACE is NOT natural grace!
·
Our creator’s counsels, are IN HEAVENLY MEASURES!
·
People
might think of grace as just forgiveness—BUT HIS GRACE by TASTING DEATH
requires us to KNOW EXCEEDING RICHES OF HIS GRACE, Eph.2; 7, AND UNSEARCHABLE
RICHES OF CHRIST, Eph. 3: 8
·
Such
measures are COUNSELED for SECOND COVENANT, which is EVERLASTING COVENANT, Isa
59: 21!
Read
in No 977---GROW in “EXCEEDING RICHES of HIS
GRACE”-- when His GRACE is tasting
death, Heb. 2; 9, the “EXCEEDING RICHES”, Eph.
2: 7, and UNSEARCHABLE RICHES,
Eph. 3: 8, are from HIS DEATH! (We
understand in Eph. 2; 7---that HE WOULD SHOW these RICHES
in AGES TO COME!—preaching CHRIST was kept a secret, Rom. 16: 25, so we know LORD had preserved this knowledge
to be REVEALED when HE CAME THE 2nd time to GIVE SALVATION, Heb. 9:
28.
Gentiles
were made known that SALVATION is NEAR, Isa 56; 1,2.
Gentiles were saved by His GRACE to serve Him in DAY OF LORD , Eze.
30; 3--Eph. 2; 8 -For by grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God—we are to
understand—
HIS GRACE—HIS ONE OFFERING is a GIFT from God, it was counseled
before WORLD BEGAN, as to die as a LAMB, 1 Pe 1: 19-20
GRACE
is “Him tasting death for everyone”, Heb. 2; 9
·
Then HIS DEATH is the GIFT for SALVATION
Read In 977--- In old covenant the testimonies, statutes, judgments -- meant remembering LORD bringing
ISRAEL (as bond men) out of Egypt with a
mighty hand showing signs and wonders, to give them inheritance in promised
land, LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that He might preserve us alive, De 6: 24, And it
shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the
LORD our God, as He hath commanded us, vs. 25.
·
In NEW COVENANT—TESTIMONY of
GOD is --CHRIST
and HIM CRUCIFIED, 1 Co 2: 1, 2; CRUCIFED CHRIST gives us ENORMOUS BLESSINGS to preserve
us as BORN AGAIN in Righteousness---- by obedience to
WORDS of BAPTIZM UNTO HIS DEATH, believer is granted ETERNAL LIFE,
Rom. 6: 3-23, to enter KINGDOM OF GOD, in the EVERLASTING
COVENANT, Rev.11: 15, 19!—many counsels FULFILL through baptizm of
Rom. 6!
Read Rom. 6 to 9—in Nos.
959 to 968
Read In No. 977---(“CHRIST
in US” teaches of Himself to have ETERNAL LIFE, through HIS WORDS—when we have faith in His words to do them –HIS RIGHTEOUS LIFE forms in us”—He would remind
HIS WORDS, to maintain Righteousness in us---then we could be preserved—
He grants us HIS SPIRIT by
baptizm, Acts. 2: 38—HIS SPIRIT is HIS WORDS, he that is
joined unto the Lord is one SPIRIT, 1 Co 6: 17--.
SPIRIT of HIS stored in us makes us a temple, If you destroy HIS TEMPLE, HE would DESTROY US, 1 Co 3: 16-17.
Thy word hath quickened me, Ps.119; 50, precepts
quicken, Ps.119: 93.
Please read of precepts of
EXCEEDING RICHES, Eph.2: 7, through HIS GRACE (from His death, Heb. 2; 9)
“unsearchable riches”, Eph.3: 8, in No. 977 in www.restoringcaptivity.com
EXCEEDING
RICHES OF HIS GRACE, Eph.2; 7, AND UNSEARCHABLE RICHES OF CHRIST, Eph. 3: 8 are
given TO BE BUILT upon THEM so that CHILDREN THE HEIRS, Rom. 8:
17, would LIVE SINLESS lives BEFORE HIM
in HIS ALTAR!
Rom. 6: 2-God forbid. How
shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3-Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus
Christ were baptized into His death?
·
Therefore
counsel of ALMIGHTY GOD who MADE HIMSELF as SON, Hab. 7: 3, to die as LAMB, to
see His seed, Isa 53: 10, His seed as sons of Abraham, Gal. 3: 27-29,
of Covenant, Acts. 3: 25, 26, is to PUT ON CHRIST by BAPTIZM, Gal.
3: 26-27.
·
Then
just as He had NO sin in HIM, 1 Jn. 3:
5, children, the heirs are NOT TO SIN, after baptizm, BUT LIVE RIGHTEOUSLY,
without obeying LUSTS OF BODY, Rom. 6:
11-13
Rom. 6: 14-- For sin
shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under
grace.
15 -What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law,
but under grace? God forbid.—If anyone SINS after saving through HIS GRACE-----you INSULT
THE SPIRT of GRACE, and is punishable as Heb. 10: 26-31 says! --it is NOT UNDERSTANDING
ALMIGHTY who became as MAN CHRIST, to SUFFER AS LAMB, suffered for EACH ONE
OF US!
16 Know ye not, that to
whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey;
whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?—therefore HONOURING AND
PRAISING HIM, for HIS GRACE which forgave OUR SINS to make SURE OUR CALLING, we
are to OBEY FROM OUR HEARTS, Rom. 6: 17, this DOCTRINE of becoming Godly as He
is! We are to be of obedience unto righteousness.
17 -But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye
have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
·
We thank and praise Him who
glorifies us through HIS DEATH, Rom. 8:
17!
Ps 50:23 -Whoso offereth praise glorifieth Me:
and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of
God.
When established in His heavenly church,
Heb. 12: 23-25, under NEW COVENANT, we should always PRAISE HIM for HIS GLORY
and honour, power and might which is from SLAIN LAMB, Rev. 5: 12.
·
This is why ALMIGHTY and LAMB are the
temple, in NEW JERUSALEM, Rev. 21; 22, 23.
Now the CALLING to PREDESTINED, Rom.
8;28-30, is to be joint heirs
In heavenly church
to be PART OF NEW COVENANT is
FROM MEDIATOR OF NEW COVENANT
Through LAMB’S BLOOD OF SPRINKLING
To be GLORIFIED
with HIM WHO SUFFERED, Rom. 8: 17
To remove OUR SINS
by HIS FORGIVENESS, Rom.6: 7
MINISTRY in Malachi Purification, Mal 3.1-5, are TO enter ALTAR!
Kedar, Nebaioth,
Sheba enter HIS ALTAR—Isa 60; 6, 7—so all of them are to KNOW HIS COULSELS FOR
CHILDREN TO BE HEIRS, Rom. 8: 17.
Heb. 12: 23-25—
When you believe (Your
calling) that you are children of God, to be joint heirs of CHRIST in His
heavenly Holy Altar –we children believe it is CHURCH OF 1ST
BORN registered in heaven, Heb. 12: 23, 24,
Heb. 12: 23-- To the general assembly and church of the
firstborn, which are
written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24-And to
Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling,
that speaketh better things than that
of Abel.
·
We
are warned NOT TO REFUSE our calling, Heb. 12: 25—(vs. 25-See that ye refuse not Him that speaketh.- For if they
escaped not who refused Him that spake on earth,--- much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from Him that speaketh from heaven)---if the called brethren turn
away—YOU would NOT ESCAPE from HIM!
He
has ALL MIGHT to bring you from anywhere you hide--
Isa 29:15-Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their
counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say,
Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
Jer 23:24 -Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the
LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth?
saith the LORD.
But all are to correct their faults—
Isa 58:7-Is it
not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast
out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou
hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
We brethren are all of one flesh, 1 Co 15: 40—we who serve OUR LORD
are terrestrial; we are to be RAISED in INCORRUPTION, 1 Co 15: 42.
·
Therefore we are to CORRECT OUR FAULTS!
·
Now
the LORD is speaking from heaven, to be baptized to CRUCIFIED CHRIST (LAMB who was glorified, Rev. 5: 12, that is the RIGHT conversation through which we Understand
to PRAISE HIM by GLORIFYING CRUCIFIED CHRIST
Ps 50:23 -Whoso offereth praise glorifieth Me:

we should know that CHRIST our LORD SEEKS to LOVE HIM, to Fear God and keep
Commandments which is the DUTY OF MAN, Ec 12;13.

Ec 7:11 -Wisdom is good with an inheritance
19 -Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which
are in the city.
Ec 12:9-And moreover,
because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he
gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
He
speaks proverbs, Ec 12:9-14,
Ec 12:9- preacher was
wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought
out, and set in order many proverbs.
10 The preacher sought to
find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words
of truth.
11 The words of the wise
are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are
given from one shepherd.
12 And further, by these,
my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is
a weariness of the flesh.
13- Let us hear the
conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this
is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring
every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or
whether it be evil.
Wisdom
is good with inheritance, Ec 7:11-15,19,29,
Ec 7:11 -Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is
profit to them that see the sun.
12 -For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the
excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
13 -Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight,
which he hath made crooked?
14 -In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of
adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the
end that man should find nothing after him.
15 -All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a
just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that
prolongeth his life in his wickedness.
Ec 7; 19 -Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men
which are in the city.
29 -Lo, this only have I found,
that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
GET WISDOM than GOLD
And GET UNDERSTANDING rather
to be CHOSEN than SILVER
Prov.16; 16 -How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather
to be chosen than silver!---
17 -Highway of the upright is to depart from evil: --
20-He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso
trusteth in the LORD, happy is
he.
JESUS CHRIST forgives and
SEEKS to LOVE HIM without INIQUITY
Ps 32:1 --Blessed is he
whose transgression is
forgiven, whose sin is covered.-- Prov. 17; 9 -He that
covereth a transgression seeketh love----JESUS CHRIST forgives, covers sin AND SEEKS His friends
to LOVE HIM,
Prov. 17; 9 -He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but
he that repeateth a matter separateth very
friends. EVERLASTING CHRIST is as married, to a believer when He frees that
believer from law, Rom.7;4, such
a one should NOT BE SEPARATED from CHRIST through another marriage, when HE is
LIVING, Rom.7;3
· CHRIST as husband of believers
COVERS transgressions SEEKING TO LOVE HIM ---(as in Ex 20) ----when believer
who is married to CHRIST (receiving forgiveness for sins, Rom. 6:6, 7) repeating
another MARRIAGE, as in Rom. 7;3,
SEPARATES JESUS CHRIST from being THE HUSBAND--(he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends)
·
HE
IS THE ONE GOD, so HE requires to LOVE HIM with ALL THY SELF, Ex 20, and SERVE HIM in SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH,
Jn.4;23, 24
HE FORGAVE gentiles BY GRACE
to SERVE in HEAVENLY PLACES
Eph. 2; 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath
quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)---6 And hath raised us up together, and made us
sit together in heavenly places
in Christ Jesus:
Heb. 12; 22 -But ye are come unto mount Sion, and
unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an
innumerable company of angels,--ships of Tarshish walking about ZION --
23 To the general assembly
and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge
of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator
of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better
things than that of Abel.
CHRIST our LORD requires to
LOVE MERCY and WALK
HUMBLY with HIM
Mic 6:8 -He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD
require of thee, but to do justly,
and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with
thy God?
·
MERCY is HIS SPIRIT---so WE ARE TO LOVE MINISTRY of SPIRIT, which is
LOVING HIS WORDS.
·
MINISTRIES
OF SPIRIT and RIGHTEOUSNESS, 2 Co 3; 8, 9, is HIS MERCY, (2 Co 4:1--seeing we
have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not). Therefore we are
to become righteous by HIS WORDS, the HOLY SPIRIT
GET WISDOM than GOLD
Consider MASTER OF PROVERBS,
trust HIM to be HAPPY
Prov.16;16 -How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! to
get understanding than silver!---17 -Highway of the upright is to depart from evil: --20-He that handleth a
matter wisely shall find good: whoso trusteth the LORD, happy is he.
