| NATIONS SERVING ISRAEL OF RO 9:4-6 IN LORD’S SHORT WORK ARE TO BE DILIGENT IN THEIR WORK |
NATIONS SERVING ISRAEL OF RO 9:4-6 IN LORD’S SHORT WORK ARE TO BE DILIGENT IN THEIR WORK
Is 60:10-- And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee—
Isa 60: 12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish;
INTRODUCTION
We should understand Jer 2: 3--
Jer 2:3 Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of His increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD.
JESUS CHRIST had no increase recorded after Mt 1: 17 (the increase of generations from Abraham to Christ recorded in Mt 1: 17), BUT HE REQUIRES TO SEE A SEED OF HIS, ONLY THROUGH HIS SACRIFICE, offering Himself for sin, Isa 53: 10, AS HE HAS TO SAVE HIS PEOPLE from THEIR SINS, Mt 1: 21. and when HE GIVES THE BLESSING TO HIS PEOPLE through baptizm unto His death, Ro 6: 3-7, HE WOULD MAKE THEM Righteousness unto HOLINESS, Ro 6; 19,22, then they are able to worship Him and dwell with Him peacefully! HIS PEOPLE NEED HOLINESS TO SEE HIM, Heb 12: 14. they should not serve sin anymore, Ro 6: 6, 2 Tim 2: 19.
His people are generations of ISRAEL, therefore JESUS CHRIST has to produce a seed to continue generation of ISRAEL, therefore as firstfruits of His increase among ISRAEL , He has to produce A HOLY SEED as HE CANNOT PRODUCE UNHOLY PEOPLE!
The only way JESUS CHRIST can produce such firstfruits is through His sacrifice, for that HIS people should understand that they are sinful, and accept His sacrifice!
For this reason, LORD made the covenant with Philadelphia Church of God , Eze. 16: 8, blessed them, Eze. 16: 8-14, to build them to be helpmeet of JESUS CHRIST, AND THEREFORE TO MAKE THEM HOLY, HE REQUIRED them to know of their abominations, Eze. 16: 2. had they acknowledged their sins, Jer 3: 13, they could be offered LORD’S SACRIFICE, Rom 6: 3-7, and they would have been made Holiness , Ro 6: 19,22, to serve Him as FIRSTFRUITS OF HIS FROM ISRAEL!
But although LORD made known through all the prophets to REPENT, the leader did not do that, Jer 44: 4,5.
Therefore ISRAEL firstfruits cannot be made as they do not hear---BUT LORD’S HAND IS NOT SHORTENED, Isa 50:2, Isa 59:1, TO MAKE ISRAEL FRUITS AS HIS SEED, HE TURNED TO GENTILES who hear Him, Ro 15: 12.
JESUS CHRIST MADE THE GENTILES AS FIRST BORN OF POOR, Isa 14: 30, SANCTIFIED TO SERVE HIM, THROUGH HIS BLOOD, Eph 2: 13, we were taken without repentance, Ro 11:29 , by His grace and mercy, under laws of faith, Ro 3:27- 31, -- Ga 2:16—laws of love, Ro 13: 8-10.
These gentiles form the nations to serve ISRAEL, Isa 14: 1,2, ----they are as little ones, and small ones of Isa 60: 22, are considered as nations.
Isa 60: 22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.
1
Gentiles know Him and Him crucified as Paul taught, 1 Co 2: 2, as His word is enlarged more than His name, Ps. 138: 2, ISRAEL His people are GIVEN KNOWLEDGE TO COVER THE SEA, Isa 11: 9, Hab 2: 14 (the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea). Spiritually LORD’S people are in “SEA”, as breach of Jerusalem is compared to sea , La 2: 13, therefore, knowledge given to COVER SEA! That means a LOT OF KNOWLEDGE given to make HIS PEOPLE HOLY UNTO HIM, to enable to see HIM, Heb 12: 14. (that is why a lot of writings come from us).
It will be done, He sees them as NEW JERUSALEM, Re 21: 2,3, Eze. 48: 35, His hand is not shortened to redeem ISRAEL, Isa 50:2, Isa 59:1.
SINCE ISRAEL DO NOT HEAR HIM, LORD CHOSE GENTILE SERVANTS.
In Eze. 16: 1-8, LORD made Philadelphia Church of God “LIVE”, by cleansing them. Then He made the covenant of marriage with them SO THAT THEY BE A FIRST FRUITS OF HIS INCREASE as Jer 2: 3 said---but the prophet and ministers broke the covenant through Bamah matter, Eze. 20: 29, 44: 7, Jer 51: 51, they did not know the SANCTUARY LAW, Le 22: 25. ---the gentiles in PCG, knew that the Philadelphia Church of God ministry went into captivity BECAUSE OF THIS Bamah abomination , Eze. 39: 21-23. Since the gentiles stood by God, not bowing down to Baal, Ro 11: 4, and as they LISTEN TO JESUS CHRIST, Ro 15: 12, they were made to worship JESUS CHRIST in house of God (SANCTUARY OF GOD), Isa 56: 4-7. The GENTILES took hold of the Sabbaths, and covenant, Isa 56: 4-7. That means they are to perform the SACRIFICES ON SABBATHS, keep commandments according to promises of covenant, and DAILY, and CONTINUAL , Ps. 72: 10-15, because ISRAEL DAILY AND CONTINUAL was a reproach to God, and they continue their voice against God, Ps. 74: 22,23!
Since JESUS CHRIST came as a branch of Righteousness, Jer 33: 15-26, to build up David’s throne Amos 9: 11, to make ISRAEL worship as David did, 1 Chr 23: 30-31, as it is His will, Isa 66: 23, LORD GOT THE GENTILES TO SERVE HIM as they HEAR HIM, Ro 15: 12. (LORD’S WILL in Isa 66: 23 includes new moons which had not been kept by WCG or PCG, H.W.Armstrong had only restored Sabbaths, from David’s way, 1 Chr 23: 30-31). When JESUS CHRIST builds David’s way of worship, He requires worshipping on new moons too, Isa 66: 23. we gentiles should not be found as transgressors, Isa 66: 24, BUT HEAR HIM!
We gentiles are a few people, in house of God, Isa 56: 4-7, a witness work in outer court, Re 11, witnessing about the abomination of ISRAEL, as we know of it, Eze. 39: 21-23, and declaring that JESUS CHRIST is building a seed of ISRAEL, Ps. 22: 30-31, we EXALT JESUS CHRIST AND HIS CROSS as Paul taught, 1 Co 2: 2.
Isa 60: 22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.
Gentiles’ times are the days of clouds, Eze. 30: 3, a rainy time, raining Revelations (food of God, Isa 14: 30), spiritual rain, these gentiles are to serve ISRAEL with God’s food, they are messengers in ships, Eze. 30: 3,9, Isa 60: 9–
Isa 14: 1 -For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob. (LORD’S ISRAEL is those who have the covenant, Ro 9: 4,6, they are the church which has His name, during the last days , it is Philadelphia Church of God)
Isa 14: 2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids:
These gentile servants and maids SERVE THEM WITH WHAT THE LORD GIVES THEM, Isa 14: 30, it is a time of famine for ISRAEL, Isa 14: 30, Amos 8: 11 (of words of God).
2
The knowledge they get of the LORD, should be given to ISRAEL , LORD’S PEOPLE, to bring them back from captivity, Eze. 39: 28,29---THESE HAVE TO BE DONE AS SANCTUARY WAYS , since LORD’S way is in SANCTUARY, Ps. 77: 13, and SANCTUARY LAWS HAVE TO BE HONOURED, as LORD leads them with SUPPLICATIONS, Jer 31: 9, Zec 12: 8-10.
The gentiles who are considered as NATIONS should serve the LORD to end captivity of ISRAEL, they should be diligent to serve Him in the SANCTUARY ways, honouring LORD’S JUDGMENTS.
Gentiles had to guard themselves from devil, Re 12: 17, Re 20: 7,9 .
Thief comes to steal, to kill and to destroy, but JESUS CHRIST gives abundant life, Joh 10:10.
Lu 18:8 "I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"
When Gentiles were given knowledge they are expected to produce fruits, 2 Pe 1: 2-8, LORD increases talents, He prunes fruits, Joh 15:2, and take away if the branches do not produce fruit, Joh 15:2.
Some would even depart from faith, 1 Tim 4: 1.
IT IS AN AWESOME SERIOUS WORK OF JESUS CHRIST , HE IS SAVING PEOPLE FROM THE POWER OF DEATH---death means no connection with JESUS CHRIST, as He is the God of living,
Mt 22:32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."
Mt 1: 21--thou shalt call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins.---THEN HIS PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE FAITH IN HIM---follow His doctrine of godliness, reproof, instructions, correction! 2Ti 3:16, but not listen to other doctrines, 1 Tim 6: 1-12.
Heb 2:14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,
SO GOD HAD TO BECOME AS A Son of man (son of Joseph, Joh 1:45), MADE LIKE UNTO A SON OF GOD, Heb 7: 3, and THROUGH HIS DEATH, HE DESTROYS SIN, THE POWER OF DEATH, THE DEVIL.
It is a serious, awesome, wondrous work of JESUS CHRIST , and the gentiles and ISRAEL should understand how the LORD does to SAVE ISRAEL!
He got the gentiles to serve Him to work among ISRAEL to bring a seed of ISRAEL! Isa 53: 10.
LORD DOES A SHORT WORK, Ro 9: 28, Hab 1: 5, Isa 29: 14, Isa 28:21 , TO ESTABLISH NEW JERUSALEM. HE IS SERVED BY THE SEED MENTIONED IN Ps. 22: 30-31, they are gentiles who trust Him, Ro 15: 12.
LORD’s short work, Rom 9: 28, (Hab 1: 5, Ac 13:41-A work which you will by no means believe, Though one were to declare it to you.’) is a mighty work which is not believed by His people of His city (Nah 1: 1, vs. 5 says--Behold, I am against you," says the LORD of hosts; "I will lift your skirts over your face, I will show the nations your nakedness, And the kingdoms your shame, ---
(whose skirt is He speaking of?---)----SKIRT was spread on PCG, to cover her nakedness, Eze. 16: 8, and in Eze. 16: 37—LORD says her nakedness would be shown!), and Eze. 16: 8--I spread My skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest Mine, 37 ---I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
38--And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.
3
SEE IN THOSE VSS. LORD HAS A WORK TO SHOW THE NAKEDNESS OF Philadelphia Church of God, and executing Judgment against PCG which broke WEDLOCK, Ez 16: 59, 44: 7, LORD SAYS HE WILL JUDGE---GIVE BLOOD IN FURY AND JEALOUSY! ------THAT IS PART OF HIS WORK!---HE DOES A WORK AMONG HIS ISRAEL LAST ERA CHURCH! THEY ARE ISRAEL OF ROM 9: 4-6—
Ro 9: 4-6— Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;-- 6-- Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
ALL ISRAEL IS NOT ISRAEL OF GOD, THEY ARE THE COVENANT KEEPERS—TO WHOM THE LORD HAD GIVEN THE RIGHT TO SERVE HIM AS HE REQUIRES, according to the SANCTUARY laws!
Ro 9: 6-“Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect”---MEANS—that prophecies would not fulfill among physical ISRAEL! ---but prophecies fulfill among those who have the covenant and serve Him in His SANCTUARY! Among those who serve Him in the throne of David!
Ro 9: 28 work is among church of God!
THEREFORE GOD’S PEOPLE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT PROPHECIES FULFILL AMONG THE Laodiceans who had the marriage covenant –who broke the covenant –and among whom the LORD is working to make the NEW COVENANT, Eze. 16: 60-63.
THEREFORE THE SHORT WORK OF JESUS CHRIST IS TAKING PLACE AMONG PCG so that she would mother the other sister churches, Eze. 16: 60-62.
4
Gentile ships of Tarshish are messengers of JESUS CHRIST, Eze. 30: 3,9, Isa 60: 9.
Thus LORD judged PCG served by gentiles, Ez 16: 40-42. these gentiles were cleansed by BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST, Eph 2: 13, they were raised as LORD was raised in heavenly places, Eph 2: 5,6, Eph 1: 20, they serve the LORD , when LORD’S DAY is considered as DAYS OF HEAVEN, Ps. 89: 29.

Eph 2: 5,6--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:
Gentiles became citizens of heaven, from where they wait for the return of JESUS CHRIST, Php 3: 20.
By grace we were saved, raised us (we should believe His mighty power, FOR HIM to LAY DOWN HIS LIFE, and be RAISED, JN 10: 17, 18, AND TO RAISE others, EPH 2: 5,6, THAT IS HIS POWER TO RAISE US LIKE HOW HE WAS RAISED) in heavenly places---(Php 3: 20-- For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21 who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.).
Raised people are spiritual citizens of heaven from where they EAGERLY WAIT FOR JESUS CHRIST THE SAVIOUR OF ALL who will transform us!
NOW---THIS IS THE WAY THE WORD OF GOD EXPLAINS---comparisons of JESUS CHRIST!
And therefore, these gentiles who were saved and RAISED by grace, serve in ---Re 20:6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
They the 1st born of poor, Isa 14: 30, were made priests, Jer 3: 15, they serve in house of God of Isa 56: 4-7, thousand years is the LORD’s day, which would be over as one “yesterday”, Ps. 90: 4. ---THEREFORE these servants of God have part in the first Resurrection!
We gentiles serve in Re 19: 1 (voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
But---if those who depart from faith according to 1 Tim 4: 1-3, who serve sins, against Ro 6: 6, and who sins wilfully are to be cautious, gentiles are to be patiently enduring, Heb 10: 26—39.
5
SO JUDGMENT WAS EXECUTED FOR PCG, BY gentiles of Eze. 16: 40-42 GIVING HER THE CUP OF WRATH of GOD, WHICH has fire- Ps. 11: 6—Jer 25: 15-37
Ps. 11: 4 - The LORD is in His holy temple, the LORD’S throne is in heaven: His eyes behold, His eyelids try, the children of men.5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence His soul hateth.--6 Upon the wicked He shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.-7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; His countenance doth behold the upright.
Ps. 89: 29 --His throne as the days of heaven.
For more understanding please read—
199. IT IS A HEAVENLY THRONE WHEN JESUS CHRIST CAME AS BRANCH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
http://www.restoringcaptivity.com
So when JESUS CHRIST came as branch of Righteousness to David’s throne, Jer 33: 15, HIS THRONE IS AS DAYS OF HEAVEN. Therefore we gentiles are serving in heaven, Re 19: 1, in the correction work of LORD’S bride, Re 19: 7,8, as HE IS “WORD OF GOD”, Re 19: 13, we are led BY THE word of God, which is His life giving words, Jn 6: 63.
LORD JUDGED PCG---It is written Judgment expressing His wrath, judgment, and then ------mercy and grace WHEN establishing new Jerusalem through much counsels, much parables—teachings, exhortations through the SUPREME WISDOM OF JESUS CHRIST.
And the gentiles uphold LORD’S RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENTS--Re 19: 2 For true and righteous are His judgments: for He hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of His servants at her hand.
Gerald Flurry wrote in Royal Visions Sep/ Oct 2000, pg 6
“God holds that man (prophet) very accountable, because it is through him and the Revelations God gives him that we get to know GOD INTIMATELY”.
SAYING SUCH THINGS---Gerald Flurry BECAME accountable FOR BREAKING THE COVENANT, Ez 16: 59, 44: 7, THROUGH Alex Harrison, trusting him, Jer 17: 5.
Devil deceived Alex Harrison, whom the word describes as Zedekiah, Jer 39:7, Jer 24:8, BLINDED through Bamah matter, Eze. 20: 29, --and instead of correcting Alex Harrison, prophet too sinned bringing on himself the blood of Alex Harrison , Eze. 33: 7-9. but God loves those who repent and turn to Him, Eze. 33: 11.
LORD MADE THE gentiles who were treated badly by PCG ministry TO EXECUTE Judgments on PCG ministry, Eze. 16: 40-42! ---as said IN RE 19: 2—PCG IS THE GREAT WHORE, CORRUPTING THE WORLD WITH HER FORNICATION!
Now understand---PCG without doing the work of praising and thanking JESUS CHRIST as David did in his throne, THEY GO TO THE WORLD teaching and acknowledging worldly ways to serve God! for an example, they try to get together with people to do excavations! We should remember how the LORD HID THE BODY OF MOSES to stop people venerating Moses! Why should God’s priests excavate buried things? WHEN WE SPEAK OF DAVID’S THRONE---we should understand THE WAYS HOW DAVID PRAISED AND THANKED GOD AND HOW AND WHICH DAYS HE MADE ISRAEL WORSHIP THE LORD! That is the way of his throne! SURELY A THRONE (a chair) would not praise God! has a chair got life to meaningfully praise God?
By getting together with people who do excavations, PCG acknowledges the worldly ways! PCG is encouraging that type of work!
Ps 119:100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.---WHEN YOU KEEP HIS PRECEPTS----OR–do the way LORD’s precepts teach us, WE WHO WERE CHILDREN IN PCG would UNDERSTAND BETTER than THE LEADERS!
LORD gives understanding to THOSE WHO OBEY HIM!
6
Jer 5:15 Behold, I will bring a nation against you from afar, O house of Israel," says the LORD. "It is a mighty nation, It is an ancient nation, A nation whose language you do not know, Nor can you understand what they say.
Tarshish is spoken of even in Solomon’s days---they come from Japheth’s sons, Gen 10: 4, 5. (it was a warning “not to work against these ancient landmarks, Pr 22:28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.--Pr 23:10 Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless).
These gentiles were fatherless, as said in Eph 2: 11-13 (now they are cleansed by blood of JESUS CHRIST).
THESE GENTILES WERE COMMISSIONED TO SERVE LORD’S WORK--
Is 60:10-- And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in My wrath I smote thee, but in My favour have I had mercy on thee.
Isa 60: 11 Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.
SONS OF STRANGERS IN ---Ps. 72:10 - kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.—
Tarshish descends from Javan, son of Japheth, Ge 10: 2-5,
FOR MORE UNDERSTANDING PLEASE READ—articles on “Scriptural Tarshish”---in--http://www.restoringcaptivity.com
SO THE GENTILE KINGS NOW SERVE THE LORD, who bring presents and offer gifts, in Ps. 72: 10 who do the continual and daily in vs. 15, are ANCIENT PEOPLE WHOM THE LORD KNEW---just as PCG descends from ISRAEL, grand son of Abraham descending from SHEM, son of Noah, Ge 11: 10- 26--these gentiles too descend from Noah, they are created for LORD’S PURPOSE.
Ps. 72: 18 -Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.--19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with His glory; Amen, and Amen.
LORD purifies Levi, Mal 3: 2-3, through spirits of Judgment and burning-- Isa 4:4
Ps 94:15 But judgment will return to righteousness, And all the upright in heart will follow it.
Isa 5:16 But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, And God who is holy shall be hallowed in righteousness.
Jer 4:2 And you shall swear, ‘The LORD lives,’ In truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; The nations shall bless themselves in Him, And in Him they shall glory."
SO IN Isa 60: 11 IT WAS PROPHESIED THAT GENTILE FORCES WOULD COME TO Philadelphia Church of God (to present day last era ISRAEL church of God!—the Laodiceans! After Judgment JESUS CHRIST is correcting them in His mercy to build them)
Jer 23:20 The anger of the LORD will not turn back Until He has executed and performed the thoughts of His heart. In the latter days you will understand it perfectly.
He Does His short work using elect gentiles , Ro 9:28-32, they are 1st born of the poor-Is 14:30—
Isa 54:17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me," Says the LORD.
THUS JUDGES of gentiles WERE GIVEN HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS TO CONDEMN THE ANOINTED LEADER OF Philadelphia Church of God!
7
GENTILES KNOW JESUS CHRIST —AS A GOD who delights in JUDGMENT—exercising Righteousness , lovingkindness---
Jer 9:24 But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the LORD, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight," says the LORD.
When PCG failed from standards of God, WHICH LORD EXPECTS, the leader was removed from his responsibility, Isa 22: 25-- In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it.
(Gerald Flurry was given the duties of priest and David, in Isa 22: 20-24)
When, LORD is now being served by gentiles for His work, Ez 30:3, Is 14:30, Eph 2:11-13, Is 56:4-7, Re 11:2-4, Is 41:17-20,Is 40:29-31,41:1,42:15,4 (coastlands). LORD declared new things, Is 42:9,12
Is 60:9-- Surely the isles shall wait for Me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, --
Re 3: 18-- I counsel thee to buy of Me gold tried in the fire,--- gold brought by Tarshish, Isa 60: 9, Eze. 30: 9, they are maids of Joel 2: 28, 29 (who got His Holy Spirit, {and they are life giving words, Jn 6: 63}, the words of God would burn as fire, Jer 5: 14, fire was brought by gentile women, Isa 27: 11, fire burns wickedness, Isa 9: 18, and those of Tarshish work with God’s words, as silver smiths, Jer 10: 9, silver is purified words of God, Ps. 12: 6, —and Jer 10: 9-- Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz,--- 10 But the LORD is the true God, He is the living God, and an everlasting king: at His wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide His indignation.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT GENTILES ARE ONLY SERVING THE LORD TO BRING HIS WORDS OF GOLD AND SILVER! Silver is seven times purified words of God, Ps. 12: 6, God’s instructions are GOLD! during gentiles times, they serve JESUS CHRIST, Eze. 30: 3!—ALMIGHTY GOD IS GOLD, Job 22: 25.
When Levi failed through a work of error, gentiles were bound, Ro 11: 17!
Isa 42:15- I will make the rivers coastlands,
Isa 49:1 "Listen, O coastlands, to Me, And take heed, you peoples from afar!
Isa 60:9 Surely the coastlands shall wait for Me; And the ships of Tarshish will come first, To bring your sons from afar, Their silver and their gold with them,
LORD DOES A STRANGE ACT-- Isa 28:21
8
SILVER AND GOLD WOULD BE BROUGHT TO THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST , TO THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL ---AND ISLES WOULD SERVE JESUS CHRIST—they are ships of Tarshish.
Ps. 72: 10 The kings of Tarshish - the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before Him: all nations shall serve Him.
Isa 60: 22--A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.
NOW THE ABOVE VSS. WOULD SHOW HOW THE LORD COUNTS A SMALL ONE AS A NATION! A few of them would BE NATIONS!
THESE GENTILES ARE CONSIDERED EACH ONE AS A NATION!
LORD is served by ten thousands---Jude 1:14, Re 5:11
Nations have thousands of people!
LORD DOES A STRANGE ACT-- Isa 28:21
Isa 60: 12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
Therefore a little one is as a nation , and if the appointed ones do not serve properly they are in the danger of being utterly wasted !
ISRAEL IS LORD’S INHERITANCE—HIS HERITAGE—although ISRAEL is POLLUTED,—YET LORD BRINGS THEM BACK –Ez 39: 28-29, Jer 23: 7-8, TO BE FAITHFUL TO THE COVENANTS. 1Co 1:9, 1Th 5:24, 2Th 3:3, 2Ti 2:13
Isa 19:25-- Israel Mine inheritance—Isa 47:6 I was wroth with My people, I have polluted Mine inheritance,---Jer 16:18 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; - they have filled Mine inheritance with --- abominable things.
Ps 79:1 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.(Asaph prophesied that ISRAEL will bear the shame of heathen, Eze 36:6, -----psalms are prophecies, concerning JESUS CHRIST, Lk 24: 44)
(Asaph who wrote Ps. 73-83, is faithful to David, to SING PRAISES TO GOD, 1 Chr 25: 1-6).
Ps 94:14 For the LORD will not cast off His people, neither will He forsake His inheritance.--Isa 63:17-- the tribes of thine inheritance.-- Jer 10:16-- Israel is the rod of His inheritance: The LORD of hosts is His name.
9
LORD HAD CHOSEN ISRAEL –THEY ARE BLESSED
Ps 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance.
Ps 47:4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom He loved. Selah.
Ps 74:2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
Therefore we ought to understand how we GENTILES ought to serve ISRAEL!— Isa 60: 12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
Zec 2:8-- for he that toucheth you ---toucheth the apple of His eye.
A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY, WHEN YOU TOUCH ISRAEL!
Isa 14: 1 - For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors. SO THESE GENTILES HAVE A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY WHEN THEY SERVE ISRAEL!
Isa 14; 5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.
HOUSE OF ISRAEL WOULD POSSESS STRANGERS AS SERVANTS OF THE LAND OF LORD! They serve ISRAEL according to LORD’s needs! They were once captives of PCG---now as the LORD took off the sceptre of PCG leader, Isa 22: 25, Isa 3: 1-3, GENTILES WERE PUT THEIR TO SERVE THEM, sending LORD’S messages, Eze. 30: 9, to rule them, Isa 3: 4,12, feeding them with knowledge of JESUS CHRIST and Him crucified, 1 Co 2: 2, so that they be forgiven of their sins against JESUS CHRIST, the God of whole earth, Isa 54: 5.
ISRAEL HAD FAMINE, Amos 8: 11, SO THEY WERE FED BY GENTILES AS THEY GOT FOOD, Isa 14: 30
Isa 3: 1 -For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,---2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,--3 The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
12-- As for My people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them.
Strangers, women--- are ruling ISRAEL LEADERS, Isa 3: 4,12.
Those gentiles are as nations, Isa 60: 22,
They work as David, Zec 12: 8, serving in supplications, Zec 12: 8-10, Jer 31: 9
If they do not serve properly, they would perish, Isa 60: 10,12.
LORD IS PLEADING AND JUDGING WITH THE LEADERS, Isa 3: 13,---14-- for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.15 What mean ye that ye beat My people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS IS FOUND AMONG ISRAEL LEADERS!---THOSE VSS. SAY HOW PCG TREATED US, GENTILES!
10
Ge 17:1- LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, "I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. 2- And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly."--- GOD REQUIRES HIS COVENANT PEOPLE TO BE HOLY AND BLAMELESS !
Gen 12: 3 --in thee (Abraham) shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Covenant with Abraham—Ge 17: 1-7, 19, 21.
We should also have faith of Abraham, Ro 4:16,
Ga 3:7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
Dangerous if you depart from faith, 1 Tim 4: 1
ISRAEL ARE CHOSEN FOREVER—and type of David to rule ISRAEL –should be as David, a man of high degree--
1 Chr 17: 16- And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
17 And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant’s house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.
18 What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.
19 O LORD, for thy servant’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.
20 O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee,---
21 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be His own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?
22 For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.
NOTICE THAT GOD HAD DONE HIS PLEASURE ACCORDING TO HIS OWN WILL---CHOOSING DAVID TO RULE OVER ISRAEL PEOPLE, SO THAT THE LORD WOULD BE WORSHIPPED WITH A RULER WHO IS A MAN OF HIGH DEGREE---he would rule congregation to PRAISE GOD AND THANK HIM FOR ALL THAT HE DOES FOR ISRAEL!
People who laugh at David, are laughing at God’s will!
Very sadly, some gentiles do so!
The word of God answers—such who do not understand the covenant matters –DO NOT FEAR GOD—
Ps 25:14 The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant.---
Ps 111:5 He has given food to those who fear Him; He will ever be mindful of His covenant.
LORD would put FEAR OF GOD among ISRAEL so that covenant could be made, Jer 32:40, Mal 2:5
11
David continued--
1 Chr 17: 23 Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.
24 Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee.---David’s type should MAGNIFY LORD’S NAME and SAY—that LORD OF HOSTS IS GOD OF ISRAEL!
26 And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
27 Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O LORD, and it shall be blessed for ever.
ONE SHOULD NOTICE HOW HUMBLY DAVID SPEAKS! DAVID WANTS TO MAGNIFY THE NAME OF GOD FOREVER! ---HE ACKNOWLEDGES THE FACT THAT LORD IS GOD OF ISRAEL FOREVER!
David’s house to be established forever—a covenant with David!
GOD IS TEACHING A LESSON---GOD SHOULD BE WORSHIPPED WITH REVERENCE AS HE IS HOLY AND AS HE IS THE CREATOR GOD WHO WILLS THAT HE SHOULD BE WORSHIPPED BY ISRAEL CONGREGATION ACCORDING TO HIS ORDINANCES, ---AS HE WILLS!
HE HAD CHOSEN ISRAEL AS HIS INHERITANCE!
HE HAS THE RIGHT TO DO ANYTHING IN HIS CREATION!
HE FORMS THE PEOPLE WHOM HE REQUIRES TO SERVE HIM!
We gentiles were formed to SERVE HIM TO BRING BACK ISRAEL WHEN THEY WERE SENT AS CAPTIVES IN NATIONS, Eze. 39: 28-29!
NOTICE IN THE FOLLOWING VSS. LORD AFFIRMS THE COVENANT WITH David and Jacob--
Jer 33: 14-16,
14- Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and He shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. (Acts 15: 16, Amos 9: 11 to revive David’s throne)
16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness.
17 - For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
18 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.—(LORD acknowledges the service pattern of David’s day---1 Chr 23: 30-31 which would be forever, Isa 66: 22,23) ---priests –Levites—singers –gate keepers were well organized by David, 1 Chr 23, 24, 25. which were followed by king Hezekiah, 2Ch 29:30 , even Ezra, Ezr 3:10, when captives of ISRAEL were to return.
NOTICE---there would always be ONE LIKE David, ONE AS Levi!
In last era ISRAEL church, both these responsibilities, Isa 22: 20-24, were on prophet who hath been, Eze. 2: 5,6.
When he failed, Isa 22: 25, gentiles serve as David, Zec 12: 8.
12
Gentiles serve as David, Zec 12: 8---they are to serve Him in SANCTUARY ways, Ps. 77: 13, which are supplications, prayers, fastings, intercessions, Zec 12: 8-10, Jer 31: 9, Zec 8: 19. when we do such things, LORD WOULD LISTEN TO US, AND ESTABLISH NEW JERUSAELM, Isa 62: 7. (yet, we should not forget to go astray from laws of faith).
LORD ESTABLISHES ISRAEL, Jer 33: 19-26, EVEN THOUGH PROPHET BROKE COVENANT, Eze. 16: 59
Jer 33: 19 And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying,
20 Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break My covenant of the day, and My covenant of the night, --
21 Then may also My covenant be broken with David My servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, My ministers.
22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David My servant, and the Levites that minister unto Me.
--25 Thus saith the LORD; If My covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
26 Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David My servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.
LORD KNOWS BEST---HE CHOSE DAVID TYPE MEN, OF HIGH DEGREE TO RULE ISRAEL SO THAT THEY WOULD PLAN WONDERFUL WORSHIP SERVICES THAT EXALT JESUS CHRIST!---THAT IS HIS WILL!
HE PERFORMS WHAT HE WILLS, Job 23: 13,14
Read---
184. LORD PERFORMS WHAT HE DESIRES
http://www.restoringcaptivity.com
13
Isa 44:26 That confirmeth the word of His servant, and performeth the counsel of His messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:
LOOK AT THAT VS.—
LORD’S messengers are ships, Eze. 30: 9, gentiles, vs. 3, they are ships of Tarshish, Isa 60: 9, they , the little ones are as nations, Isa 60: 22---AND LORD PERFORMS THEIR MESSAGES TO Jerusalem AND Judah saying “you shall be built”.
But we should remember that we should be serving HIM IN Righteousness unto holiness, Ro 6: 19,22, as He had already cleansed us with His blood, Eph 2: 13.
Potter of ISRAEL Jer 18, breaks the vessels of ISRAEL (ministry), so that no piece (sherd) remain, Is 30:14, when they are like Egyptians with Pharaoh ruling them, Is 30:1-5,7, THIS IS THE Pharaoh LORD made for His short work, Ro 9:17, 28) and the ministry under that Pharaoh, DID NOT WANT TO LISTEN TO LORD’S LAW OR RIGHT THINGS, but wanted to hear smooth things, Is 30:9-10.
People of ISRAEL church are rebellious, Is 30:1, Ro 9: 4,6.
This is why eventually they were scattered in nations as captives, Ez 12:15 and the LORD says--Is 30:5 They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
BUT LORD’S WORDS WOULD BE HEARD—
Is 29:18- And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
When the LORD redeems house of Jacob-they will hallow JESUS CHRIST Is 29:23-24-We should REALISE THE POWER OF THE CREATOR OF EARS AND EYES?
Now the above Is 29:18-20 said deaf shall hear, blind shall see-when the poor (Is 14:30) rejoice as the terrible one in Is 29:20 would be brought to nothing-(the terrible one is the Assyrian, Is 14:25, the man who shook the world, Isa 14: 16.
The poor who were given land to work, Jer 39:10, have the burden to serve the LORD WHEN LORD’S PURPOSE AGAINST THE WHOLE EARTH IS TO DESTROY THE Assyrian- Isa 14:25,26.
Therefore the LORD gives food to the FIRST BORN OF POOR , Is 14:30, When ISRAEL’s roots were killed with famine, Is 14:30. Therefore first born of the poor strangers, Eph 2:11-13, serve ISRAEL , these strangers cling to house of ISRAEL, Is 14:1-2-, they get inheritance with ISRAEL, Ez 47:22,
ISRAEL will be punished by LORD as in Is 29:6-7, BUT JESUS CHRIST BUILDS THEM BRINGING THEM FROM CAPTIVITY , through His blood, Zec 9: 11, after pouring His spirit, Eze. 39: 28-29, and gives inheritance.
HERITAGE IS TO REJOICE IN A MAN’S OWN WORKS
Ec 3:22 So I perceived that nothing is better than that a man should rejoice in his own works, for that is his heritage. For who can bring him to see what will happen after him?
14
Eze 11:2 Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:----NOW WHO GIVES COUNSEL TO PEOPLE IF NOT FOR MINISTRY?
ISRAEL MINISTRY DOES A ERRONEOUS WORK! Isa 32:6, 7, Mic 2:1, 2, Therefore ISRAEL leaders WERE FOUND empty while eating, faint while drinking, ministry as multitudes of nations and fighting against ZION, Isa 29:8----with LEADER’S HUMAN VOICE as a destroying lion-Jer 2:30.---THEY WERE FIGHTING AGAINST GOD OF WHOLE EARTH, AS GOG AND MAGOG!—OR ARMAGEDDON—
To understand more please read—
221. NOTES ON GOG MAGOG AND TYRE
http://www.restoringcaptivity.com
GENTILES ARE EXPECTED TO MAKE SUPPLICATIONS , AND SERVE THE LORD AS DAVID DID, Zec 12: 8-10, Jer 31: 9, TO PRESERVE LIFE OF ISRAEL !---THEY ARE TO KEEP THE FASTS OF Zec 8: 19, DO THE DAILY AND CONTINUAL, Ps. 72: 10-15, as ISRAEL daily and continual is a reproach, Ps. 74: 22, 23. SO UNTIL ISRAEL IS BROUGHT BACK , GENTILES SHOULD SERVE HIM IN HOUSE OF GOD, Isa 56: 4-7, KEEPING Sabbaths, as they took hold of the covenant, Isa 56: 4-7, and keeping laws of faith, Ro 13: 8-10!
We ought to UNDERSTAND the WORK OF THE LORD AS HE ESTABLISHES HIS WORK IN A SANCTUARY HE MADE, Heb 8: 1,2, as HIS WAY is in A SANCTUARY, Ps. 77: 13.
Just as LORD REGARDS ISRAEL AS “apple of His eyes”, De 32: 9, 10
HE REGARDS HIS LAW TOO AS “apple of His eyes”-- Pr 7:2
And gentiles touch His apple of His eyes, Zec 2:8
Gentiles were warned not to boast, Ro 11: 17-22, but all ISRAEL would be SAVED, Ro 11: 26.
WE SHOULD NOT SPEAK SMOOTH THINGS TO DO AGAINST GOD’S WORDS, Isa 30:10
Heb 10: 30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord.-- And again, The Lord shall judge his people.—
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
As vs. 32 says—GENTILES endured –
34 For ye had compassion of Me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods,---GENTILES SHARED their goods WITH ONE ANOTHER,
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
THOSE WERE ADMONISHINGS FOR GENTILES.
With the scriptures of 1Tim 4: 1—3---gentiles should understand the need to seek goodness of God to repentance, Ro 2: 4, even it is impossible to repent after illumination, Heb 6: 4,6.
Heb 6: 6-- they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
THEY SHOULD SEE WHAT THEY HAD NOT DONE TO REPENT!
15
Isa 29:20 says, THOSE WHO DO INIQUITY WOULD BE CUT OFF--
Isa 29: 20 For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
NOBODY WHO HONOURS GOD OF WHOLE EARTH SHOULD ENCOURAGE LAWLESSNESS!
ALL WHO WATCH FOR INIQUITY ARE CUT OFF! (we should not encourage iniquity)
This is a time when just men speak God’s laws they would be turned aside, Is 29: 21
Isa 29: 21-- That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
UNDERSTAND THIS VS.—
Some would REJECT true servants of God who reprove (rebuke or criticize) at the gate, ---AND TURN ASIDE THEM FOR A THING OF NOUGHT—JUST FIND FAULT FOR A WORD----and condemn the just!
How true the word of God is? ---these had happened among gentiles--
(they should not rebuke elders, 1Ti 5:1, they should look into Gamaliel’s advice, and see that they are fighting God,---- Ac 5:34-39, )
BRETHREN, OUR TIMES ARE BAD, TROUBLESOME---we should make our calling sure--2Pe 1:10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;---WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS WE ARE TO DO?
2 Pe 1: 2-8 speaks of producing fruits of knowledge!
Duty of God’s ministers is to warn, Ro 13. 1-7, of commandments stated in vss 8-10.
Ro 13: 1-7 speak of submitting to God’s ministers---vss. 8-10 speaks of commandments fulfilled with LOVE,
11-15 speaks of -- time, -- awake out of sleep: -- salvation nearer -
12 - therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
These are the things we ought to be doing when we wait eagerly for JESUS CHRIST, Php 3: 20.

http://www.restoringcaptivity.com
We ought to realise our calling is NOT EATING, DRINKING, ENJOYING,
1 Co 10: 2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
5 But with many of them God was not well pleased:
6 - Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.---7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.---9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.--10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Above vs. 7-- Neither be ye idolaters,
Gentiles just as ISRAEL are warned of idols-- Ac 21:25
STUMBLING BLOCK WHEN RIGHTEOUS TURNS WICKED--
LORD lays a stumbling block when righteous turns wicked-- Eze 3:20—IT IS GIVING statutes that are not good, Eze. 20: 24 , 25—when LORD’s judgments are not executed, or despised His statutes, polluted sabbaths, and gone after idols---LORD allows them to do inconvenient things!
(Eze. 20: 25 Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;----THAT IS TURNING TO BE WICKED, BY STUMBLING)---THAT IS FOR ISRAEL—THEN THEY WOULD NOT LIVE--
IN THE SAME WAY---when gentiles do not keep Sabbaths in faith, and err in covenant , breaking commandments , (Isa 56: 4-7 they who took hold of covenant and Sabbaths), --then when they pollute Sabbaths and TURN WICKED (by departing from faith, 1 Tim 4: 1-3), ---they are GIVEN A DEBASED MIND! Rom 1: 28-32—which makes them DIE AGAIN, VS. 32!
WHEN ISRAEL Philadelphia Church of God was MADE TO LIVE, Eze. 16: 6,
They strayed away from God, being unrighteous, then God allowed Eze. 20: 25, statutes that were not good! When gentiles were purified , Eph 2: 13, they live to serve JESUS CHRIST in Righteousness, and He gave knowledge of Him and Him crucified, when they sin, ---it is Ro 1: 28-32!
We ought to understand these things!
17
LORD works to produce a righteous seed out of Jacob.- AND THEY WILL HALLOW LORD’S NAME—THEY WOULD FEAR GOD’S NAME!
Is 29:22-Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
23 But when he seeth his children, the work of Mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify My name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
JERUSALEM WOULD BE GLORIOUS AGAIN---VERY SOON—
THE TIMES ARE CLOSER THAN THEN!
Is 60:13-- The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of My sanctuary; and I will make the place of My feet glorious.
14 The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15- Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.
GENTILES ARE TO WORK HARD—
Isa 62: 6 - I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,
7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
All who had been made to serve JESUS CHRIST in establishing ISRAEL are to work diligently, Isa 62: 7, OTHERWISE THEY PERISH, Is 60:12!--- For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
Above vs. said nations- in Joel 3:9-11, thee men of war , the mighty men, the weak who should say “I am strong “ are proclaimed in nations to go down to fight, judge the surrounding nations whom the LORD had called to the valley of Jehoshaphat, Joel 3:11-LORD called ISRAEL to plead with them in Jehoshaphat valley .
SO THE PLEADING WORK HAS TO BE DONE BY GENTILES, THE MEN OF WAR, THE WEAK WHO SHOULD SAY “I AM STRONG”!
Their strength is JESUS CHRIST!
Ps 8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
Ps 18:32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. Ps 21:13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
18
WE FIND CHILDREN OF ISRAEL IN VALLEY OF JEHOSHAPHAT--
Joel 3: 1--behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for My people and for My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted My land.
6 The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.
Vs. 1-Captivity of Judah, Jerusalem---vs. 6—children of Judah and Jerusalem among Grecians---they had gone away from land of ISRAEL! Therefore—vs. 2—LORD IS PLEADING FOR HIS HERITAGE ISRAEL!
ISRAEL ministry were scattered in nations, Eze. 12: 15, because of prophet Gerald Flurry, and prince, Alex Harrison, vss 3, 10—they are all scattered by LORD in lands of Babylon , in Chaldea and other countries, vs. 10-15—
SO IT IS ISRAEL WHO ARE IN VALLEY OF JEHOSHAPHAT!
JERUSALEM IS MADE HOLY BY THE WORK OF THE LORD—
SO GENTILES ARE TO SERVE IN THAT WORK OF JESUS CHRIST --
It is a day of decision during LORD’s day, Joel 3:14, LORD roars for ZION to shake heavens and earth, but BE A SHELTER TO ISRAEL HIS PEOPLE, Joel 3:16 --SO THAT ISRAEL WILL LEARN THAT HE IS THEIR LORD GOD, DWELLING IN HIS HOLY MOUNTAIN---
Joel 3:17---So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more. The vs. says no strangers SHALL PASS THROUGH HOLY Jerusalem –STRANGERS SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN THE WORK IN GOD’S SANCTUARY, LE 22: 25--!!!! This shows LORD’s ANGER in Ez 44:7—IT IS AGAINST Bamah strangers , who did not know even how to keep Sabbaths, Ez 20:29, Jer 51:51, causing the covenant to be broken –Ez 44:7. it is the spiritual harlotry of Philadelphia Church of God , Ez 16:15 causing them to break the covenant, Ez 16:59.
Joel 3:18-- And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
THE FOUNTAIN WAS GIVEN----
Zec 13: In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
Fountain given to purify from sin and uncleanness---to cut off idols and prophets , unclean spirits!
THEY WOULD NO MORE BE REMEMBERED!
Carcases of kings, should not be remembered in LORD’S throne, Eze 43:7, 9
H.W.Armstrong should be forgotten! PEOPLE OF GOD SHOULD PRAISE GOD, AND NOT MEN!
THEY SHOULS PRAISE WORDS OF GOD--AND NOT WORDS OF MEN!
Isa 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against Me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
THAT IS THE LAST VS. OF ISAIAH PROPHECIES!
19
PEOPLE SHOULD REPENT TO BE PARDONED!
To pardon through His sacrifice believers are to be baptized unto His sacrifice ------ be baptized unto His death, Ro 6: 3-7, so that His Righteousness unto holiness would be given to serve Him, Ro 6: 19,22, in new Jerusalem , Re 21:2,3, Re 22:3, 4, they would be given the understanding of WORSHIPPING HIM IN TRUTH AND IN SPIRIT ON HOLY DAYS HE WILLS-- AS Is 66:22,23 says.—
Isa 66: 22--For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
23---And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before Me, saith the LORD.
Holy Spirit is words they are life, Jn 6:63, therefore those who would get everlasting life WOULD KNOW THE WORDS OF LIFE!
WHEN EVERLASTING LIFE IS ESTABLISHED, GENERATIONS WOULD CONTINUE---AND THE NAME OF ISRAEL WOULD NOT BE CUT OFF AS IT HAPPENED IN Eze. 13: 9! The ISRAEL man who ruled in David’s throne, Isa 22: 20-24, was written as childless too, Jer 22:30. that means life being cut off!
LORD WOULD REWARD, WHEN HE COMES, RE 22: 12
Eccl 3: 22 So I perceived that nothing is better than that a man should rejoice in his own works, for that is his heritage. For who can bring him to see what will happen after him?
Ro 2: 6 who will render to every man according to his deeds:
7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: ( when your name is not cut off---generations would continue).
8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
20
IT IS LORD WHO LEADETH UNTO REPENTANCE—
RO 2: 1-3 says that judges should not do those things they judge!
Gentiles judged Philadelphia Church of God, Eze. 16: 40-42 as God gave us His Righteousness to judge PCG leaders, Isa 54: 17, –
PCG committed spiritual harlotry, Ez 16: 15, as a woman who broke wedlock ,- Eze 16:38 , alongwith this iniquity of Bamah, Eze. 20: 29, PCG exhibited polluting Sabbaths, pride, lies, wrong judgments, having idols, dishonoring JESUS CHRIST, disfellowshipping God’s sheep, and not caring for them, being merciless towards them, not forgiving, not caring for widows, judging the poor wrongfully, using their own words which is as A DESTROYING LION in God’s land, Jer 2: 30--- having idols, glorying in H.W.Armstrong! and many such wickedness!
Gentiles executed such Judgments on PCG –as said Eze. 16: 40-42. THEY DID TREAD THEM, Re 11: 2, serving JESUS CHRIST TO TREAD THEM , La 1: 15.
When gentiles judged them for such things, we gentiles should not be found to commit any of such things! If we had done so, ---LORD KNOWS!
Ro 2: 4—IT IS ONLY GOD WHO COULD LEAD ALL TO REPENTANCE!
Ro 2: 4 Or despisest thou the riches of His goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
GOD IS WAITING ,-- LONGSUFFERING UNTIL WE SEEK HIS GOODNESS TO COME TO REPENTANCE!
Joh 3:15 "that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
16- 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
WHILE WE SERVE THE LORD , We are not to encourage ungodliness, but withdraw from such, and lead a life of godliness, 1 Tim 6. 1-5, we should exalt God’s Judgments, to build up God’s people.
Re 22:14-- Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15--For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
20-- He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen
LORD’s people should study all these to be found obedient to Him WHO WOULD ESTABLISH NEW JERUSALEM AS A PURE LAND, Is 62:1-5, while His gentile servants are to work diligently, vss 6,7—HONOURING SANCTUARY LAWS to be FAITHFUL TO JESUS CHRIST.
Is 62:11--Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him.---
Re 22:12--And, behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13--I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
MAY ISRAEL CAPTIVES RETURN SOON TAKING THE WORDS, Hos 14: 1,2, THE WORDS OF RO 6: 3-7, 19,22, TO BE BAPTIZED UNTO HIS DEATH SO THAT THE WILL OF JESUS CHRIST IN Isa 66: 22,23 WOULD FULFILL SOON.
GENTILES ARE TO PERFORM THE WORK OF HOUSE OF GOD, Isa 56: 4-7.
ALL PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING BE TO JESUS CHRIST , THE GOD OF WHOLE EARTH, AMEN AND AMEN.
