Php 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
Php 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

The GREAT MYSTERY that CHRIST OUR LORD should NOT BE SEPARATED from THE CHURCH, Eph. 5; 28-33, HE BOUGHT, Acts. 20;28, HE MAKES HIS SERVANTS as Spiritual TEMPLES, 1 Co 3; 17.
Relationship of CHRIST and CHURCH is compared to A LOVING HUSBAND AND WIFE, the WIFE WHO WOULD BE OBEDIENT TO HER HUSBAND, similarly, CHURCH to be OBEDIENT TO CHRIST OUR LORD, we should NOTE, it is MINISTRY as Levi who would SERVE IN ALTAR, and we see they would be made to SERVE HIM in A NEW AND A LIVING WAY, Heb. 10;19-20,

CHRIST as LAMB who was CRUCIFIED makes those
Dead to Sin, as Alive to God

Rom 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Rom 6:4 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.
Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
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.
Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Rom 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
· EARLIER--- Rom. 6;2--How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
WHEN CRUCIFIED WITH HIM, He had taken our sins –CRUCIFY THE SINS, AND RESURRECTED---LEAVING SINS OF WHOLE WORLD on HIS CROSS, and none of us FIND THAT CROSS!!!
· After that, KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS---then WE LIVE TO SERVE HIM AS LIVING, not as dead to sin!!

No 731--PRESS TOWARDS THE HIGH CALLING OF ALMIGHTY AND FOR STRENGTH OF LORD JEHOVAH FOR SALVATION
PART 1—PRESS TOWARDS THE HIGH CALLING OF ALMIGHTY –
Php 3:14 -I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus
PART 2—
Isa 26:4- Trust ye in the LORD forever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
His name--Rock the Christ when He gives spiritual drink, 1Co 10:4
His name --LORD Jehovah when He gives EVERLASTING SALVATION
Ps 83:18 --That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth
PART 3--Summary
INTRODUCTION
THE HIGH CALLING is to worship the TRUE ALMIGHTY in His habitation, ZION, and JERUSALEM, Ps. 135: 21, in Church, Eph. 5: 27, in TRUTH AND IN SPIRIT, Jo 4: 23, 24. (When Jerusalem became unclean, La. 1: 17, as spiritual Egypt, Rev. 11: 8, it was as DESOLATED, Jer. 4: 24-28, LORD sends destroyers to ZION, Jer. 4: 31, then HE CREATES New Jerusalem, Rev. 21: 1-3, 10, by the POWER OF HIS DEATH.
MESSIAH destroys power of spiritual death from believers, by POWER of His death and resurrection, Heb. 2: 14, then believers are spiritually alive to worship ALMIGHTY, which is fulfillment of commandment of EVERLASTING LIFE MESSIAH received from FATHER, Jo 12: 49-50—
HIGH CALLING OF GOD thus fulfills in JESUS CHRIST.
That is according to the VISION OF FATHER, which was to be fulfilled by MESSIAH ---That vision is FULFILLING COMMANDMENT OF EVERLASTING LIFE, given by Father, Jo 12: 49, 50. (Eternal Life is knowledge of ALMIGHTY MESSIAH, Jo 17: 3, and called out people who are taught, Jo 6: 44, 45, are to worship in TRUTH AND IN SPIRIT, Jo 4: 23, IN GENERATIONS, Isa. 59: 21. When there is “No man”, to execute judgments, Jer. 5: 1, LORD sends HIS FIRE, the WORDS OF HIS, Jer. 5: 14---Those words would burn Jerusalem and ZION so that He makes New Jerusalem! (men were as dead to sin, Rom. 6: 2).
· SO EVERLASTING LIFE of ALMIGHTY HAD TO BE ESTABLISHED, WITH LIVING PEOPLE TO SERVE HIM—
ALMIGHTY had taught us by natural deaths that dead cannot serve ALMIGHTY ---SIMILARLY, dead to sin, Rom. 6: 2 CANNOT SERVE HIM, OR WORSHIP HIM! (We have to be guided by His words to worship Him as He requires!).
· FATHER is ALMIGHTY –He has to be served by others!
· FATHER CANNOT TRUST OR GIVE ANYONE TO BRING TO PASS HIS VISION, SO HE MADE HIMSELF AS A “SON OF ALMIGHTY”, Heb. 7: 1-3, TO FULFILL HIS VISION! That Son is MESSIAH!
· MESSIAH was that ONLY Servant TO OBEY THE VISION OF ALMIGHTY as “THAT PROPHET” Acts 3: 22—26.
· He was obedient EVEN UNTO DEATH ON THE CROSS, Php 2; 8, as ALMIGHTY had counselled LAMB before world began, 1 Pe 1: 19-20, MESSIAH is that LAMB, Jo 1: 29, that had to die to see His seed, Isa. 53: 10.
MESSIAH as a MAN, Gal 4: 4, 5, made as SON OF ALMIGHTY, Heb. 7: 1-3, proved that He would not serve Satan, Lu 4, Mt 4. 1Jo 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil (MESSIAH did not obey Satan, so HE HAD NO SIN IN HIM, 1 Jo 3: 5-9). God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled, Acts 3: 18
Lu 16:13 No servant can serve two masters:-- Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
ALMIGHTY had taught through prophets that HE WOULD SEND MESSIAH for times of refreshing, to be forgiven, Acts 3: 19-21, THAT IS THE
SECOND TIME HE CAME FOR DAY of SALVATION, Heb. 9: 28.
SET TIME TO BE FORGIVEN IS
TIMES OF REFRESHING
(Not when MESSIAH came 1st time), Acts 3: 19, that is 2nd time, Heb. 9: 28
Acts 3: 19--Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;---WE ARE TO UNDERSTAND that TIMES OF REFRESHING TO BE FORGIVEN would come FROM THE PRESENCE OF MESSIAH, vs. 19!---that is He would come as written in Heb. 9: 28.
AND MESSIAH WOULD COME AGAIN –WHO WAS RECEIVED IN HEAVEN—Acts 3: 21—21
Acts 3: 20 And He shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:--21 -Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
· SO TIMES OF RESTITUTION of all things—the COVENANT that vanishes away, a New Jerusalem COVENANT made, Heb. 8: 13—
· Blood of COVENANT, Mt 26: 28, is BLOOD OF FORGIVENESS, Eph. 1; 7, ---this is the time to REPENT-- Acts 3: 19--Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the LORD
· SO WHEN THE SECOND TIME MESSIAH came for salvation, Heb. 9: 28, is the DAY OF Malachi Purification, Mal 3: 1—5, IT IS DAY OF CLOUDS, TIMES OF GENTILES, serving from ships, Eze. 30; 3, 9 HAS TO BE NOTED---for REPENTANCE!!
· This is the DAY OF LORD, when church had fallen, the leader had exalted as ALMIGHTY, 2 Thes 3: 1-7!
· All these had been explained in—http://www.restoringcaptivity.com
Moses prophesied of “THAT PROPHET MESSIAH”—To be HEARD BY ALL--
Acts 3: 22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
24--SO all prophets have foretold of these days—
25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
SO MESSIAH came a second time FOR TIMES OF REFRESHING, TO BLOT OUR SINS, ALL CALLED OUT ARE TO HEAR HIM, HE TEACHES TODAY, Heb. 1: 2.
MESSIAH when HE was a man, had taught leaders TO PREPARE FOR THE WILL OF THE LORD, otherwise they would be beaten--Lu 12:47 And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes
(So when inner court ISRAEL did not prepare, outer court gentiles were made to tread inner court, Rev. 11: 1-2.
ALL THOSE SERVANTS OF ALMIGHTY IN HIS CHURCH WHO RECEIVED THE HIGH CALLING and ERRED AND NOT PREPARED receive many stripes!!
THUS IS THE JUDGMENT ON HOUSE OF ALMIGHTY, 1 Pe 4: 17. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?—ungodly are dead to sin, Rom. 6: 2.
19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
1 Pe 4:19 says that faithful servants of MESSIAH has to suffer, it is WILL OF ALMIGHTY, true servants serve the FAITHFUL CREATOR, HE keeps their souls!
That is---
WHEN TRUTH IS SPOKEN, ERRED SERVANTS PERSECUTE THEM!! BUT ALMIGHTY KEEPS THOSE FAITHFUL TO HIM!! –The faithful servants know how much MESSIAH suffered!
SO THE ABOVE EXPLANATIONS FROM SCRIPTURES of Acts 3 TEACH THAT SINS ARE FORGIVEN WHEN HE HAD COME TO GIVE SALVATION, that is when HE ESTABLISHES NEW COVENANT , by FORGIVING THROUGH BLOOD OF COVENANT, Mt 26: 28, Blessing of BLOOD from Baptizm unto His death, causing a believer to be born again in newness of life, Rom 6: 3-11, which gives HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HOLINESS, to serve Him, Vs. 19, 22, in the NEW COVENANT, Eze. 16: 60-63, Eze. 37: 21-28.
PART 1—
PRESS TOWARDS THE HIGH CALLING OF ALMIGHTY MESSIAH
People chosen and taught, Jo 6: 44, 45, are to seek out their OWN Salvation, with FEAR and TREMBLING, Php 2:12 –WHY?—because each one has to LOOK TO THE VISION OF ALMIGHTY and NOT TO YOUR OWN VISION!
Php 3:14 -I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.---Calling for True worshippers is from ALMIGHTY to be received in MESSIAH--
Heb 3:1- Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
MESSIAH has many roles—Apostle, High Priest of Melchizedek Order too.
Heb 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; ---salvation is to be saved in His temple, Rev. 21: 22-24, it is HIS glorious church, Eph. 5: 27, MESSIAH sends His servants to confirm HIS GREAT SALVATION, through HIS SACRIFICE!
2Ti 4:8 -Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. ---We who love His appearing (from clouds, Eze. 30: 3, by rain, Hos 6: 3) are to be crowned with Righteousness to be near Him in His temple. HE FORGIVES SINS,
SET TIME TO BE FORGIVEN
IS TIMES OF REFRESHING (Not when MESSIAH came 1st time), Acts 3: 19, but the 2nd time, Heb. 9: 28, when He came in clouds, which is gentiles time of serving Him, Eze. 30; 3, as ISRAEL do not believe.
1Th 2:12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. ---HIGH CALLING is to be in HIS KINGDOM and GLORY. –to be in His glorious church, Eph. 5: 27.
2Th 2:13 ¶ But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: ---TRUTH should be believed to be saved through sanctification (By His blood, Heb. 12: 24). (Heb. 12: 24--to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling,--)
· SALVATION is NOT FOR ALL—ONLY TO BELIEVERS WHO WOULD receive sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth, 2 the 2: 13.
• His SPIRIT the words, Jo 6: 63, says to be SANCTIFIED BY BLOOD, Heb. 12: 24, which would be received through baptizm of Rom. 6: 3-11.
2Th 2:14 Whereunto He called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. ---
SO THAT IS THE GOSPEL OF GOD!
MESSIAH became captain of Salvation to make us perfect, Heb. 2: 8-14, as we ought to be perfect as ABRAHAM was required, Gen. 17: 1.
His Gospel is to OBTAIN the GLORY of MESSIAH ,2Th2:14,He was glorified by suffering on cross, Ro 8:17, it is gospel of CROSS, 1 Co2: 2, by baptizm of Rom. 6, 1Pe4:11.
(1Pe 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God).
1Pe 1:3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, ---
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, ---
Through baptizm unto His death we are glorified to serve Him in Righteousness, Rom. 6: 3-11, 19, 22.
That is we get Righteousness to receive inheritance incorruptible, 1 Pe 1: 4!
1Pe 1:13 - Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; ---HIS GRACE is tasting death for everyone—therefore we are to honour His baptizm through His death, Rom. 6.
Ro 9:23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, ---In fulfillment of mercy vessels, gentiles of Rom. 9: 23, 24, received the glory of 2 The 2: 14, they GLORIFY HIS MERCY, Ro 15:9 (Thus we glorified His baptizm in 2011 PASSOVER!, SO Rom. 9: 23 gentiles are those who remained faithful when some departed from faith as was prophesied, 1 Tim 4: 1-5.
He was glorified by suffering on cross, Ro 8:17, it is gospel of MESSIAH and HIS CROSS, 1 Co2:2, gentiles the mercy vessels ,Rom.9:23,glorified baptizm unto His death, Rom. 6.
Ro 9:24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? ---Jews and gentiles are called to know the riches of His glory of HIS SUFFERING ON THE CROSS, Rom. 8: 17!
2Co 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. ---HIS DEATH, CROSS are not seen today!! –BUT HIS GLORY RECEIVED ON HIS CROSS IS ETERNAL!
Lu 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. ---

· LAMB who marries the church, Rev.19: 7, 8, saves those who believe to be crucified with Him and LIVES IN THEM, HE DID NOT DIE IN VAIN, Gal 2: 20-21, that is MESSIAH IN YOU, the hope of glory, Col 1: 27.
· The TRUTH is MESSIAH was PORTRAYED among us as CRUCIFIED, Gal 3: 1, that is why ALMIGHTY gave His ONLY SON to SAVE believers and the world, those WHO BELIEVE are NOT CONDEMNED, Jo 3: 16—18.
· Transgressors abide not in the doctrine of Messiah (love is keeping commandment from the beginning, ), many deceivers do not confess that MESSIAH came in flesh, 2 Jo 6-11-- (MESSIAH became as LAMB, to see His sons (seed), Isa. 53: 1-10, that was the LAMB crucified , Gal 3: 1). That is “why MESSIAH came in FLESH” is not taught, he is a deceiver and an antichrist, 2 Jo 6—11.
Rev. 1: 18 I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.—8-- I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
MESSIAH LIVES!! HE SHOULD BE SERVED BY SPIRITUALLY ALIVE!
not dead to sin, Rom. 6: 2---therefore, MESSIAH MAKES believers ALIVE through Baptism unto His death, to be born again in newness of life, Rom 6: 3-11, which gives HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HOLINESS, to serve Him, Vs. 19, 22.
2Co 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; ---when ISRAEL was appointed to be partly blind until fullness of gentiles come in, Rom. 11: 25, ISRAEL ARE GOING THROUGH “LIGHT AFFLICTION” –It SERVES the PURPOSE OF ALMIGHTY, 2 Co 4: 17.
2Co 5:1 - For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. ---our sinful lives have to be dissolved!!---we have to get NEWNESS OF LIFE by baptizm of MESSIAH, Rom. 6.
1Pe 5:10 - But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. ---SO HIS GRACE as “TASTING DEATH” has to be received, then WE WOULD BE PERFECTED through SALVATION, Heb. 2: 9-14, stablish, strengthen, and settled.
2Ti 4:7- I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: ---Paul did glorify ALMIGHTY by being crucified with Him, Gal 2; 20, 21. Paul was thus faithful to glorify SUFFERING OF MESSIAH!

29 -For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. ---
FIRST BORN MESSIAH, became perfect through SUFFERING, and became PERFECT CAPTAIN OF SALVATION, Heb. 2: 9-14.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. ---
THE CALLED OUT, Jo 6: 44, WERE JUDGED AND JUSTIFIED, and THEN HE GLORIFIES, gentiles of mercy vessels were glorified as this article had shown, likewise all believers would be saved through HIS SALVATION!
PART 2—Isa. 26: 4
Trust ye in the LORD forever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength
LORD JEHOVAH is ALMIGHTY OF SALVATION--Isa 12:2 --Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; He also is become my salvation.
We are to trust in His salvation—EVERLASTING STRENGTH for EVERLASTING LIFE is from LORD JEHOVAH!
MESSIAH as HEAD of CHURCH, Eph.5: 23, died as a LAMB to REDEEM chosen ones from iniquity, Tit 2:14, FATHER IS REDEEMER, Isa.63:16, FATHER made HIMSELF as a SON, Heb.7: 1-3, Born of a woman to redeem those under the law, that we might receive the adoption as of sons, Ga 4:5.
THE SONS ARE MADE THROUGH SACRIFICE OF MESSIAH, Isa. 53: 10, of which the BLESSING OF SALVATION is given through HIS BAPTIZM–Gal 3: 26-29.
Ex 6:3 --And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
ABRAHAM, Isaac, Jacob knew MESSIAH as GOD ALMIGHTY—they did not know that ALMIGHTY FATHER would become as a man to die as a LAMB---although LAMB was counselled before world began, 1 Pe 1: 19-20. They did not know of SALVATION given to their descendants, they did not know of MERCY of ALMIGHTY that is given to prolong COVENANT!
Just imagine, we have bibles which records all these knowledge and yet the church had not taught of GAL 3: 26-29, or Rom. 6: 3-11, 19, 22 TO BECOME SONS OF MESSIAH who would be as SONS OF ABRAHAM, Gal 3; 29, so that THEY ALL COULD BE SONS OF THE COVENANT in which we are CALLED, Acts 3: 25, 26.
Ps 83:18 --That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
Ps. 83 was written by Asaph, a seer of DAVID, whose sons prophesied with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals, 1 Chr 25.
In Ps. 83: 4-8 we see the PROPHECY of Assyrian and Hagarenes (End time servants of ALMIGHTY in His church amidst Rom. 9: 4, 6) –they joined to cut off name of ISRAEL, Ps. 83 4-8—THEY DO NOT EXALT THE WORK OF LAMB THAT SAVES HIS BELIEVERS through HIS SACRIFICE, OF WHICH THE BLESSINGS ARE GIVEN THROUGH HIS BAPTIZM, Rom. 6, IF THEY DO NOT HONOUR THE WORDS OF BAPTIZM, Rom. 6, THEY WOULD NOT BE BORN AGAIN in NEWNESS OF LIFE, we are all to be BORN AGAIN to enter kingdom of Almighty, Jo 3: 3.
Their judgments had been written in –

SUMMARY
1. Almighty as Father decreed Commandment of EVERLASTING LIFE before world began. Jo 12:49,50. Therefore HIS vision is the is establishment of HIS EVERLASTING LIFE .
2. To execute that Commandment, He became as MESSIAH and created things necessary for lives of mankind in His world, HIS POSSESSION.
· He created heaven and earth and all that therein and all things He counselled.
· Then He chose a people to Himself to perform His service according to His words. 1 Chr 12:8.
· The sum of all things is His Tabernacle, Heb 8:1,2, as His way is in the Sanctuary, Ps. 77:13. SO WE SEE HOW HE ESTABLISHES HIS TEMPLE, Eph. 5: 27
· He made the old Covenant with ISRAEL, ABRAHAM as their Father of Covenant, Acts 3:25,26, He required ABRAHAM to be PERFECT, Gen. 17: 1
· We are to be perfect, 2Ti 3:17, Php 3:15, but endtime people are not perfect, Rev. 3: 2.
· He chose to die as a LAMB before world began, 1 Pe 1:19-20, because nothing or no one else could make a perfect, holy people for Himself.
· Therefore His COUNSEL was to create a seed through sacrifice of HIMSELF being a LAMB, Isa. 53:10
· HIS seed from all flesh as sons of Abraham is to be made through baptizm, Gal 3:26-29, unto His death, Rom. 6: 3—11, 19, 22.
· That means baptizm, Gal 3:26-29 produce His seed, the SONS, Isa. 53:10
· That means LAMB produce sons through His death.
· That is the reason why His people are to be Baptized unto His death, to be born again as of NEWNESS OF LIFE, Rom 6: 3-11, which gives HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HOLINESS, to serve Him, Vs. 19, 22.
HE PERFECTED HIMSELF TO BE THE CAPTAIN OF SALVATION through HIS SACRIFICE, so that He would CREATE PERFECT BRETHREN, Heb. 2: 9—10.
· When they get baptized they receive HOLY SPIRIT as the PROMISE, --when you believe in GOSPEL OF SALVATION, and obey to receive baptizm, YOU WOULD BE SEALED with that holy Spirit of promise, Eph 1:13, (We gentiles received HIS SPIRIT, the words, Jo 6: 63, when we were baptized, Gal 3: 14. Peter said to REPENT AND BE BAPTISED TO RECEIVE HOLY SPIRIT, Acts 2: 38--
· HOLY SPIRIT is words of life, Jo 6:63.
· When they get the words of life, HIS SPIRIT, they would learn to LIVE (SPIRITUALLY) before Him without Spiritual death, the devil, Heb. 2: 14, entering into them.
· His power of death and resurrection destroys devil, Heb. 2: 14.
· Spiritual death is devil, Heb. 2:14.
· When PEOPLE GET POWER OF DEATH OF MESSIAH IN THEM, Heb. 2:14 devil is destroyed FROM THEIR LIVES, Heb. 2: 14.
· Therefore WHEN HIS BELIEVERS GET BAPTIZED UNTO HIS DEATH, there would be no more spiritual deaths in CHURCH, HIS HABITATION, Eph. 5: 27!
NO MORE DEATHS!
That means every one whom He teaches, Heb. 1: 2, would be LIVING to serve the ONE EVER LIVING ALMIGHTY, Zec 14: 9.
· Then living people would teach OBEDIENCE to their next generation and Isa. 59:21 would fulfill.
· That means…Almighty would LIVE peacefully FOREVER having EVERLASTING LIFE being served by generation after generation
· HE IS KING OF PEACE, Heb. 7: 1-3
· Since the blood of MESSIAH is blood of Covenant, Mt 26:28, They would be serving in the New Covenant
· All would have faith of obedience, Rom. 16:26,
· Thus ALMIGHTY Father, becoming as A SON MESSIAH, Heb. 7: 1-3, prepares sons of glory to be with Him in His habitation, ZION, Jerusalem, Ps. 135: 21.
Salvation to believers is to worship Him in HIS EVERLASTING LIFE IN HIS GLORIOUS CHURCH, Eph. 5; 27.
· We could imagine, HOW CREATOR WOULD MAKE HIS CHURCH as the MOST GLORIOUS PLACE IN EARTH!!
· HIS BELIEVERS would be PART OF IT!
Unless Jehovah The ELOHIM of salvation died as of the LAMB—None would be able to worship Him.
Therefore Father became as man MESSIAH to die as of a LAMB to give salvation to the seed of ABRAHAM, CHOSEN IN A COVENANT, Gen. 17; 5, Acts 3: 25, 26!
· Captives of ISRAEL were made as NATIONS, Eze. 32:9, they would be saved as nations , Rev. 21:24-26, Abraham would be the Father of nations-Gen. 17:5
PRESS TOWARDS THE HIGH CALLING OF ALMIGHTY and receive the prize through MESSIAH -- Php 3:14 -I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus
MESSIAH destroys power of spiritual death from believers, by POWER of His death and resurrection, Heb. 2: 14, then believers are spiritually alive to worship ALMIGHTY, which is fulfillment of commandment of EVERLASTING LIFE MESSIAH received from FATHER, Jo 12: 49-50—
HIGH CALLING OF GOD thus fulfills in His believers through baptizm unto death of JESUS CHRIST.
They would make sure of their HIGH CALLING through Baptizm unto His death, to be born again in newness of life, Rom 6: 2-11, which gives HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HOLINESS, to serve Him, Vs. 19, 22.
THEY RECEIVE HOLY SPIRIT, Acts 3: 28, and be OBEDIENT TO HIS WORDS, Rom. 16: 26, do not sin after baptizm, Rom. 6: 6, 2 Tim 2: 19, TO ENSURE THE HIGH CALLING OF MOST HIGH JEHOVAH!
ALL PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING, GLORY AND HONOUR, BE TO JEHOVAH THE MOST HIGH OVER ALL THE EARTH, AMEN AND AMEN.

Ecc 12:10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
Ecc 12:11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
Ecc 12:12 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.
Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
Ecc 12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

· LORD DOES WONDERS, HE ONLY NEEDS OBEDIENCE TO HIS WORDS, STATUTES, COMMANDMENTS, JUDGMENTS, LAWS and HIS WORDS, then NO ONE WOULD DEFILE HIS NAME!
Luk 1:54 He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
Luk 1:55 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed forever.
· Just as ABRAHAM required a NEW CITY WHICH LORD MAKES, Heb. 11;7, CHRIST OUR LORD makes NEW JERUSALEM as HIS BRIDE, falling from HEAVEN, Rev. 11;10, for HE MAKES THOSE WHO BELIEVE HIM TO RAISE THERE, 1 Thes 4; 13--17
The Coming of the Lord
1Th 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
1Th 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Th 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
· BY BAPTISM Rom. 6; 3-7---when planted as HIS DEATH, we also RAISE AS HE RAISED, Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

Rev 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
All those words of HOLY SPIRIT are for KINGDOM OF GOD where EVERLASTING COVENANT would function with MINISTRATION OF SPIRIT, the GLORIOUS COVENANT, 2 Co 3: 6-19.
SABBATH is a sign forever, for ISRAEL, Ex. 31.17—
Ex 31: 16-Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17 It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
Isa 9; 7 -Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
8 -The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
