No.  1291 Bitter herbs on Days of Unleavened bread gives understanding that LORD burns thorns and briers Heb.6.8 which do not allow HERBS to GROW Heb. 6.7 when LORD sends RAIN in FIRST MONTH Joe 2.23

Day 2 of Days of Unleavened bread

4th April 4, 2024

Heb 6:7  For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: 

• LORD sends RAIN, Joel 2;23, but HERBS should TAKE THE RAIN
• Joe 2:23  Be glad then, ye children of LORD, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.

Heb 6:8  But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. 

SERVICE OF GOD OF WHOLE EARTH is VERY SOLEMN

GRAVE RESPONSIBILITIES to LEVITES

Deu_16:3- Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.

• CREATOR GOD requires HIS PEOPLE to REMEMBER coming out of Egypt –ALL THE DAYS of LIFE of everyone in COVENANT with HIM

Deu_16:8  Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work therein.

Deu_16:16  Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:

Learning from EZRA,

Passover and Days of Unleavened bread Celebrated

By children of captivity (those in bondage)

Were made JOYFUL by LORD

Therefore captives amidst all in bondage to sin

Are to hear words of Ezra

Ezr 6:19  And the children of the captivity kept the Passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month. 

Ezr 6:20  For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them were pure, and killed the Passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves. 

• FIRST the PRIESTS and LEVITES should be PURIFIED TOGETHER
• WHEN THEY ARE PURE---
• THEN they could sacrifice PASSOVER for children of captivity and for THEMSELVES
• WE ARE TO UNDERSTAND from fathers who were FAITHFUL to GOD ALMIGHTY

Ezr 6:21  And the children of Israel, which were come again out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the LORD God of Israel, did eat, 

• SEPARATE from FILTHINESS of HEATHEN of LAND TO SEEK LORD GOD OF ISRAEL

Eze_36:3  Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy (SHAME)of the people:

The lips of talkers ARE APPEARING to ALMIGHTY CHRIST as 

Uncleanness of a removed woman

Eze 36:17  Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman. 

• The THORNS and BRIERS amidst PCG  prophet, Eze. 2.5, 6
• Talk of H.W. Armstrong, a man INSTEAD OF GOD ALMIGHTY
• They are to PREACH WORD OF GOD, not words of men!
• Prophecies of LAST DAYS should be understood by WORD OF GOD, Rev. 19;10, FEARING THE ONE SHEPHERD, Ec.12;9-14, who SHED  BLOOD OF EVERLASTING COVENANT, Heb. 13;20

Eze_36:6  Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:

Jer 5:2  And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely. 

Jer 5:3  O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return. 

Jer 5:5  I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds. 

Jer 5:7  How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses. 

Jer 5:8  They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife. 

Jer 5:9  Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? 

Jer 5:10  Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD'S. 

Jer 5:11  For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD. 

The Lord Proclaims Judgment

LORD SENDS HIS WORDS AS FIRE

Jer 5:14  Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them. 

• Mat 3:11  I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you with the HOLY SPIRIT, and with FIRE: 

A NATION from FAR, Jer. 5;15, who honored BAPTISM of

CHRIST OUR LORD, Rom. 6, to put on CHRIST, Gal 3;26-39

Is SERVING THE LORD understanding baptism OF FIRE, Mt. 3;11 

Jer 5:15  Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say. 

Jer 5:16  Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men. 

Jer 5:17  And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword. 

Jer 5:18  Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you. 

Jer 5:19  And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours. 

FAR people who know their GOD declares amidst HIS PEOPLE

TO FEAR THE LORD to DO HIS PLEASURE

Of getting ready for EVERLASTING COVENANT, Eze. 16;60

Jer 5:20  Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying, 

Jer 5:21  Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not: 

Jer 5:22  Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it? 

God’s people of PCG  are REBELLIOUS

Thorns and briers, Eze. 2;5,6

They PRICK people of GOD!

Jer 5:23  But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. 

Jer 5:24  Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest. 

Jer 5:25  Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you. 

LORD’S FIRE, Jer. 5;14 would DESTROY THE

SHAME OF HEATHEN amidst PEOPLE OF GOD

Eze_36:15  Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord GOD.

• THEREFORE KEEP SEVEN Days of Unleavened bread  to be JOYFUL, vs 22

Ezr 6:22  And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel. 

• The HEART of ASSYRIAN  in GOD’S LAND, Isa 14;25, 26, would turn his HEART when Levi and Priests TURN TO THE LORD to keep HIS FEASTS because LORD had MADE Levi joyful!

NO MANNER OF SERVILE WORK

To be DONE

Num 28:17  And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten. 

Num 28:18  In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work therein: 

Num 28:19  But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first year: they shall be unto you without blemish: 

In NEW COVENANT times

We seek FIRE of BAPTISM of CHRIST OUR LORD 

Mat 3:11  I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you with the HOLY SPIRIT, and with FIRE: 

Mat 3:12  Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. 

THEN WE ARE TO UNDERSTAND the CHAFF He

BURNS with unquenchable fire. 

The CHAFF is THORNS AND BRIERS

Which caused HIS PEOPLE to be IN CAPTIVITY

THEY ARE WITH PROPHET of PCG , Eze. 2;5, 6

Heb 6:7  For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: 

• LORD sends RAIN, Joel 2;23, but HERBS should TAKE THE RAIN

Heb 6:8  But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. 

• Better herbs receives BLESSING from GOD, Heb. 6;7
• BUT which beareth thorns and briers are REJECTED!—CURSED, to be BURNT, Heb. 6;8!
• Isa_27:4  Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

WHO are THORNS AND BRIERS?

• They are BITTER HERBS who would NOT RECEIVE BLESSINGS from GOD ALMIGHTY, Heb. 6;8

THEY ARE WITH PROPHET of Philadelphia Church of God

Ministry who serves in HOUSE OF GOD are REBELLIOUS THORNS AND BRIERS (scorpions also)

Eze 2:5  And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them. 

Eze 2:6  And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house. 

Eze 2:7  And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious. 

SCORPIONS ARE THE LOCUSTS (parables of GOD, mt 13)

Rev_9:3  And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

Rev_9:10  And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.

We DO NOT FEAR these scorpions

They are thorns as SONS OF BELIAL

Luk_10:19  Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Thorns are SONS OF BELIAL

They are to be BURNT in the SAME PLACE with IRON

2Sa 23:6  But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands: 

2Sa 23:7  But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place. 

Isa_27:4  Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

MINGLE WITH OIL

Num 28:20  And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil: three tenth deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram; 

• Hos_2:8  For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.
• Joe_1:10  The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
• Mic_6:15  Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.
• Joe_2:19  Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:

LORD SENDS RAIN in FIRST MONTH

And they GET WINE AND OIL

Joe 2:23  Be glad then, ye children of LORD, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.

• Joe_2:24  And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.

Foolish HAD NO OIL when

BRIDEGROOM CAME

Mat_25:3  They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

Mat_25:4  But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

Mat_25:8  And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

Mat 25:9  But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 

Mat 25:10  And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 

Mat 25:11  Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 

Mat 25:12  But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 

Those VIRGINS need to make

SIN OFFERINGS, to receive ATONEMENT

(LORD purifies VIRGINS, Rev.  14;1-5)

Num 28:21  A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout the seven lambs: 

Num 28:22  And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you. 

• REPENT and PRAY TO GOD to remove SINS from HIS SACRFICE
• As CRUCIFIED CHRIST, Rom. 6;3-7,
• DYING LORD in OUR BODY, 2 Co 4;10, is to have MIND OF CHRIST, Rom. 8;10 (WHO DIED TO SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM SIN, Rom.7;21-25, TO MAKE PEOPLE DEAD TO LAW, to serve as married to LORD, Rom. 7;4
• Then PUT ON CHRIST, BY BAPTISM, Gal 3;26-29

Use FIRE OF LORD to burn wickedness

Offer in the MORNING and CONTINUE throughout day

Num 28:23  Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering. 

Offer Everyday in the SAME MANNER

Num 28:24  After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days, the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD: it shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering. 

Num 28:25  And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work. 

Lev_23:6-And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.

Lev_23:8-But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

Lu 3:6 -And all flesh shall see the salvation of Almighty.

Re 4:11 -Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Re 22:3 -And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of Almighty and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him:

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, 

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, 

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. 

Heb 12:25  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: 

Heb 12:26  Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 

Heb 12:27  And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 

Heb 12:28  Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 

Heb 12:29  For our God is a consuming fire. 

We are to overcome the world to be PART OF HEAVENLY CHURCH, REGISTERED IN HEAVEN, through SPRINKLING OF HIS BLOOD, Heb. 12; 22-25.

All praise and thanksgiving be to the Saviour and Redeemer of ISRAEL AND ALL FLESH, THE HUSBAND AND REDEEMER OF ISRAEL, Isa 54: 5, TO THE ONE TRUE ALMIGHTY AND LAMB MESSIAH, the EVERLASTING LIFE, 1 Jn. 5: 20, Amen and Amen.
