GALATIANS 4. 10 AND COL 2 OBSERVING DAYS AND MONTHS
This article is specially written as an answer to question, as the LORD leads brethren.
Amos 3: 1 -Hear this word --- O children of Israel,----2-- You only have I known of all the families of the earth: (prophecies are concerning JESUS CHRIST, Lu 24: 44).
QUESTION TO CLARIFY GAL 4: 9,10
Gal 4: 9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?---10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.--11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
EVEN COL 2 SAYS OF SUCH-- Col 2: 16 - Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:---
WHAT DOES THESE THINGS MEAN?—
Examine from vs. 12--
COL 2: 12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. ( JESUS CHRIST had power to lay His life and take it back, Jn 10: 18, HE IS ALMIGHTY, Isa 9: 6)
13 - And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath He quickened together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
SO JESUS CHRIST HAD MADE A NEW WAY-through His blood.
PURIFYING WITH BLOOD WAS A LAW OF SANCTUARY
Heb 9: 22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. Vss. 23 -27 says of the better sacrifice of JESUS CHRIST, and that He had over powered high priests.
The ordinances of animal sacrifices which were necessary for atonement , Le 9: 7, are not needed, as LORD’S sacrifice is the ONE SACRIFICE which had made those sacrifices unnecessary! They were a shadow that disappears! LORD’S BAPTIZM UNTO HIS DEATH IS THE REAL THING TO BE SOUGHT, FOR ATONEMENT.
During Paul’s days, people would have wanted to perform them, as was the requirement of law, Le 9: 7.
ISRAEL church of today honours John’s baptizm, when John himself pointed to JESUS CHRIST--What did John say of his baptizm—-Lu 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:-see—John himself said his baptizm is as a beggarly element—NOT WORTHY—Gal 4: 9---animal sacrifices were another beggarly element to seek forgiveness to come before God!
He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire:
Fire of His words, Jer 5: 14, 23: 29, would burn the wickedness of people, Isa 9: 18,
And His Holy Spirit, gives newness of life, because His Holy Spirit are the WORDS THAT GIVE LIFE, Jn 6: 63!
Words that give life are FOUND in Ro 6: 3-7, Col 2: 12-15.
LORD SAID TO BE DOERS OF THE WORD, not hearers only, Jas 1:22
Then , WHEN YOU SEEK THE LORD’S BAPTIZM UNTO HIS DEATH, you would be forgiven once and for all, and you are expected NOT TO SERVE SIN AGAIN, Ro 6: 6, crucifying lusts daily, Gal 5: 24, taking the cross daily, and following Christ, Lu 9:23.
We are to depart from sin when we take His name, 2 Tim 2: 19, that is when we abide in Him and His words, Joh 15:7, we would LIVE the way according to FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST, following the laws of love, Ro 13: 8-10!
Then there is no need for other sacrifices or other high priests for us to COME BEFORE THE TRUE GOD, JESUS CHRIST!
JESUS CHRIST had set before us the way of life! ---NOBODY COULD DO THAT!
Col 2: 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.—JESUS CHRIST TRIUMPHED OVER ALL SACRIFICES, AND HE BECAME THE FIRST BORN, and HEAD OF CHURCH, Col 1:18, Col 1:15, Ro 8:29, and triumphed over high priests, Col 1:18, who had to encourage animal sacrifices for atonement.
JESUS CHRIST triumphed over all high priests, and leaders!---ALL POWERS ARE UNDER HIM, WITH HIS PERFECT SACRIFICE---for HE MADE PEOPLE ENTER THE HOLIEST, with His sacrifice!
HE IS HEAD OF CHURCH!—HE PAVED THE WAY OF LIFE THROUGH HIS SACRIFICE—therefore---
Col 2: 16 - Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:---SANCTUARY LAWS required MEAT and DRINK OFFERINGS, -- some examples--Ex 29:41, Ex 30:9, Ex 40:29.
Now you do not NEED THOSE---once and for all, the SACRIFICE OF BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST HAD PAVED THE WAY TO ENTER THE HOLIEST, Heb 10:19
Therefore former ways TO WORSHIP IN THE LORD’S SANCTUARY were SHADOWS THAT VANISH!
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Col 2; 20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
NO MAN SHOULD JUDGE BECAUSE JESUS CHRIST ANNULLED THE WAY earlier high priests did , INTRODUCING THE TRUE WAY TO COME BEFORE HIM IN HIS SANCTUARY --- His way is to dwell in a SANCTUARY, Ps. 77: 13—we are to WORSHIP HIM giving Him thanksgiving and praise for all what He does, AS A CONGREGATION! –we should exercise love and unity among brethren, and come before God as a LOVING FAMILY!
THEN TO COME BEFORE HIM---we no longer require other ordinances---BUT BE Baptized unto His death, Ro 6: 3-7, which gives His righteousness unto Holiness to serve Him, vss. 19,22.
THEREFORE—in Isa 66: 23, when God CREATES all flesh to worship Him on Sabbaths, New moons, holy days FOREVER, ALL WHO COME BEFORE HIM SHOULD BE BAPTIZED UNTO HIS DEATH.
EXAMINE- from the word of God--
Please read---“CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST” articles, No. 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 in –
http://www.restoringcaptivity.com which explains how JESUS CHRIST had served as HIGH PRIEST OF Melchisedec Order to erect HIS TABERNACLE, Heb 8: 1,2.
Those articles explain Col 2.
DOCTRINE OF JESUS CHRIST SHOULD BE SOUGHT--
When ISRAEL kept holy days with iniquity LORD did not accept them-- Isa 1:13, 14,
Trumpets on new moon is a statute among ISRAEL forever, Ps 81:3, 4, Ezekiel temple which is where you find “LORD IS THERE” , Eze. 48: 35, sets the ordinance of new moon, sabbaths, in Ezekiel temple, Eze 46:1, Eze 46:6, IT IS POINTLESS TO JUDGE WRONG WAYS AS NEW WAY OF JESUS CHRIST IS BEING ESTABLISHED, old way was a shadow to come, TRUE WAY IS WHAT JESUS CHRIST ESTABLISHES, TO SERVE HIM WITHOUT SIN, Col 2:16, 17,
Ps 65:2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
In Isa 66: 23, we see all flesh come to worship JESUS CHRIST, on Sabbaths and new moons, holy days. ---days and months!
WE CANNOT WORSHIP HIM WITH INIQUITY
LORD did not accept When ISRAEL kept holy days with iniquity---Isa 1: 12-14, (when you are with iniquity, you are against the laws of SANCTUARY—then you are against LORD, as enemies! THE ISRAEL MINISTRY WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ORGANIZING WORSHIPING OF THE LORD, ERRED!!!! -----BUT IT IS PROPHECY THAT MINISTRY WHO ERRED WITH DOCTRINE OF MEN WOULD WORSHIP JESUS CHRIST IN Righteousness ---Zec 14:16, -20-- In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD;---21-- Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them,
ISRAEL MINISTERS ARE POTS IN THE HAND OF POTTER OF ISRAEL--Jer 18:6
SO THEY WOULD SERVE JESUS CHRIST IN HOLINESS!
ISRAEL family of God had kept services of God (Ro 9: 4,6), having INIQUITY in them, and GOD COULD NOT ENDURE SUCH,
NOTICE---Amos 5: 21-24—
Amos 5: 21---I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
23 Take thou away from Me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
Isa 1:13 Bring no more futile sacrifices; Incense is an abomination to Me. The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies––I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
THAT WAS THE PROBLEM OF ISRAEL!
LORD EXECUTED HIS VENGEANCE,
BUT HE IS FATHFUL TO THE COVENANT
Eze 25:17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay My vengeance upon them.
In Eze. 24: 21, LORD HAD PROFANED THE SANCTUARY!--Therefore LORD’S ANGER was shown against the LEADER who had the CHARGE OF IT!—even his wife was taken with a stroke, Eze. 24: 16!
2Th 3:3 But the Lord is faithful to ancestors, to the covenants He had made , who will establish ISRAEL and guard ISRAEL from the evil one.---therefore LORD OFFERED HIS BAPTIZM (He had not baptized any before, Jn 4: 2), TO PURIFY AND SANCTIFY ISRAEL PEOPLE AND SANCTUARY.—after cleansing them through LORD’S sacrifice, HE WOULD ACCEPT THEIR OFFERINGS, Eze. 43: 18-27, AND GRANT THEM THEIR INHERITANCE (heritage), Eze. 48, which is their rewards,
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. Re 22: 12-- behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
SO JESUS CHRIST WOULD GIVE REWARDS WHEN HE COMES.
ALSO LEARN THAT JUST AS HE CREATES NEW EARTH AND NEW HEAVENS—HE CREATES ISRAEL SANCTUARY ACCORDING TO HIS LAWS, Heb 8:2, Heb 9:11, Re 21:3--- "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, that is Eze. 48: 35----
SO THAT ALL FLESH WOULD WORSHIP HIM, without sin, ----but with Righteousness unto Holiness, Ro 6: 19,22, which IS HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS GIVEN THROUGH HIS SCARIFCE,------they worship HIM ON SABBATHS AND NEW MOONS, and other holy days, Isa 66: 22,23.
SO IN Isa 66: 23 THE DAYS AND MONTHS IS WRITTEN!
Sabbath days and New moon days are written as days of worshipping Him!
So then we should UNDERSTAND that BY THAT TIME, LORD WOULD HAVE PURIFIED ISRAEL TO COME BEFORE HIM---the shadows are no more---BUT THE REALITY OF TRUE WORSHIPPING ON DAYS AND MONTHS would be seen!
1Co 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
Eph 4: 11---He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,---12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,
LOOK AT THOSE VSS.—we gentiles became individual members of the body of Christ , when we were purified by His blood, Eph 2: 13, and we are serving , in house of God ,Isa 56: 4-7—those vss, say that we took hold of Sabbaths, and covenant!---so we serve as David, Zec 12: 8, that means we serve the LORD, in Zec 12: 8-10, where HE IS RULING!
Just as Eph 4: 11 said—gentiles are seen as prophets, Re 11: 10, pastors, Jer 3: 15, teachers who send words, Isa 30:20, 21.---(next vss. explain how LORD sends His BREATH to ISRAEL—He sends words!—HIS WORDS OF LIFE, Jn 6: 63, {which is His spirit}).
Isa 30: 27 -Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with His anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: His lips are full of indignation, and His tongue as a devouring fire:
28 And His breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity:
Gentile work had shown that Philadelphia Church of God is AS NATIONS, Eze. 12: 15 ---and the LORD is REMOVING THEIR VANITY, through our work!
They have to understand that LORD does not require treasures, riches to serve Him, but a faithful heart, even the poor gentiles could be MADE BY HIM, TO SERVE HIM!
NOW---ISRAEL OF RO 9: 4,6 (those who have the right to service of God, and covenant, (in the last days, it is Philadelphia Church of God),WOULD NEVER SAY that “THEY DO NOT KNOW GOD”! ---yet they had not believed JESUS CHRIST to be baptized unto His death, Ro 6: 3-7 (it was not taught by them). They get baptized unto John, by immersion baptizm!
Paul said-- Ga 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.
EXAMINE---Paul had GONE THROUGH Ro 6: 6---he was CRUCIFIED WITH JESUS CHRIST!---THEN PAUL HAD GOT BAPTIZED UNTO HIS DEATH!
PAUL LIVES BY FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST!
PCG believes Paul---Paul BELIEVED JESUS CHRIST to be baptized unto His death!---then PCG SHOULD KNOW WHAT BAPTIZM WE ARE TO HONOUR!
Mt 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many. (He has a work, through His sacrifice!)
Joh 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son, shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Joh 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you:(spiritual meat{His teachings}, to exercise senses to discern both good and evil, Heb 5: 14)
Joh 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through His name.
Joh 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.
SO LEARN FROM THOSE VSS.—
JESUS CHRIST came to minister (to serve), to GIVE HIS LIFE AS A RANSOM TO MANY (first and foremost to His family of ISRAEL, Amos 3: 1,2, AS HE REQUIRES TO SEE A SEED OF HIS, Isa 53: 10, as after Him there is no record of ISRAEL mentioned, Mt 1: 17, He saves His people from sin, Mt 1: 21!), God’s wrath will abide if you do not believe JESUS CHRIST, Jn 3: 36,—IF YOU DO NOT GET HIS NAME, OR IF YOU DO NOT DRINK HIS BLOOD AND EAT FLESH---NO LIFE!
Now where do we eat His flesh and drink His blood to get LIFE?
1Co 10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
SO IT IS AT Passover –AND THIS IS WHY Philadelphia Church of God IS REQUIRED TO KEEP Passover in a special way, after getting SANCTIFIED in Ezekiel temple, Eze. 43: 18-27, 45: 18-25!
the sign of unleavened bread is keeping God’s law in the mouth, Ex. 13: 7-10.
More on Passover --read articles on “cup of blessing”—“Passover ” in http://www.restoringcaptivity.com
LORD PUNISHES HIS FAMILY ISRAEL
They are not ALL ISRAEL, but ministry, Ro 9: 4,6
Amos 3: 1 -Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel,----2-- You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
LORD chastens HIS FAMILY OF ISRAEL TO TEACH OF HIS THINGS, AS THEY HAD STRAYED AWAY FROM GOD’S ORDAINED THINGS!
Our gentile work is also commissioned to tread ISRAEL, Re 11: 2, La 1: 15, Eze. 16: 40-42, LORD’s cup of wrath mentioned in Jer 25: 15, Ps. red wine, 75: 7-8, it is fire, coal, brimstone, Ps. 11: 6!
LORD compared PCG to be “NATIONS”, when He sent them into captivity, Eze. 12: 3-15, and said His words would come to pass, Eze. 12: 25-28, AND THESE WORDS OF PROPHECIES which are recorded against “NATIONS” would come to pass in their ONE LAND OF ISRAEL, Judah! Jer 25: 13,

SANCTUARY AND MINISTRY PROFANED—
They are found with WITCHCRAFT and IDOLATRY
LORD left from SANCTUARY when present day ISRAEL sinned, Eze 8:6, Eze. 39: 21-23, He profaned SANCTUARY, Eze 24:21,
Isa 43:28 Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; I will give Jacob to the curse, And Israel to reproaches.
Amos 4: 4 Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:
5 And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
6—LORD HAD GIVEN FAMINE OF BREAD, 7—FAMINE OF WATER (Revelations)---yet they had not returned to HIM!
SO ISRAEL IS KEEPING Sabbaths, holy days, pay tithes---sacrifices WITH LEAVEN, --IS NOT ACCEPTED BY HIM!
The sign of unleavened bread is keeping God’s law in the mouth, Ex. 13: 7-10.
1 Sam 15: 23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
THEREFORE IT IS USELESS IF YOU WORSHIP AND THANK HIM ON DAYS, MONTHS, YEARS WITH LEAVEN ---IN BETHEL, GILGAL—(Bethel, Mizpah, and Gilgal are places where SAMUEL judged LORD’S people, 1Sa 7:16, BUT present day Bethel and Gilgal would come to nothing, Amos 5: 5---THAT IS THE CHURCH OF GOD that had COME TO NOTHING!----it is the place where leaders judge God’s sheep! PCG leaders are partial, do not judge the way JESUS CHRIST would judge!—they have to change!)
THEREFORE---EVEN IF THEY just REPENT BUT NOT GET BAPTIZED UNTO HIS DEATH---- AS RO 6: 3-7 SAY---THEY WOULD NOT GET HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HOLINESS TO SERVE HIM, vs. 19,22, AS THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST HAS TO BE EFFECTIVE ON THEM TO BE FORGIVEN , and to be born in NEWNESS OF LIFE-----
They have to come from captivity by the power of His blood, Zec 9: 11.
THEY WOULD GET NEWNESS, JUST AS IF THEY HAD NOT SINNED, Jer 50: 20---see the following vss—
Jer 50:20 In those days and in that time," says the LORD, "The iniquity of Israel shall be sought, but there shall be none; And the sins of Judah, but they shall not be found; For I will pardon those whom I preserve.
SEE---there is a time---“IN THOSE DAYS” ---“IN THAT DAY” –time refers to LORD’S DAY---during that time the LORD does a SHORT WORK, Ro 9: 28, Hab 1: 5 (which would not be believed by wise men, so says Hab 1: 5---JUST AS THAT, PCG believed that Hab 1: 5 REFERRED TO THEIR COURT CASE!).
LORD’S DAY WOULD BE SERVED BY GENTILES, Eze. 30; 3.
So Jer 50: 20---DAYS ARE THE DAYS OF LORD’S SHORT WORK, “DAY OF THE LORD” which is gentiles times, Eze. 30: 3, 9 (one should realise “how these gentiles write about LORD’S things SO MUCH!—they are getting the rain from clouds of Eze. 30: 3, as they are being fed as first born of the poor, Isa 14: 30, as they hear HIM, Rom 15: 12, the light of gentiles would shine on ISRAEL, Isa 60: 3,9).

Paul said-- Ga 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.
Those words of Paul are in Ro 6: ---he was CRUCIFIED WITH JESUS CHRIST!---THEN PAUL HAD GOT BAPTIZED UNTO HIS DEATH!
PAUL LIVES BY FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST!
LOOK AT THOSE WORDS OF RO 6--
Ro 6: Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death?
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.--5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.---7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.---12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13---as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. (then you become pots of Holiness, Zec 14: 20)
Vs. 14 says---sin which was brought under law would not have dominion on you ---BECAUSE YOU ARE SAVED THROUGH HIS GRACE.
THUS THE SINS COMMITTED UNDER LAW OF Moses IS FORGIVEN THROUGH BAPTIZM unto death OF JESUS CHRIST! –
Hos 14: 1,2 REQUIRES TO TAKE WORDS TO TURN TO JESUS CHRIST—
WHICH WORDS SHOULD YOU TAKE THEN---
They are words that say of forgiveness of sins, newness of life, likeness of Resurrection , sin destroyed, freed from sin, being instruments of Righteousness, sin not have dominion---THAT MEANS THE BAPTIZM UNTO HIS DEATH!
Ro 6: 16-18—we are to OBEY FROM HEART, the doctrine delivered , to become servants unto Righteousness.
Vs. 19-- now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
23-- the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
WELL , Philadelphia Church of God SHOULD GET THE BAPTIZM WHICH PAUL TAUGHT—that is why Paul preached nothing but JESUS CHRIST, and HIM CRUCIFED, 1 Co 2: 2.

SANCTUARY IN THE MIDST OF ISRAEL
LORD CREATES THE SANCTUARY IN THE MIDST OF ISRAEL and gentiles who are circumcised of their hearts , and circumcised in flesh would be able to enter the SANCTUARY OF ISRAEL.
Eze 37:28 "The nations also will know that I, the LORD, sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore."’ Eze 44:9 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: "No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart or uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter My sanctuary, including any foreigner who is among the children of Israel.
Joe 2: 28-29—He had called all flesh, thus gentile work started after LORD sanctifying them through His blood, through His grace, Eph 2: 11-13, Ez 30: 3, Ro 11: 17-22 , as gentiles hear Him, Ro 15: 12, Acts 28: 28, these gentiles serve as a generation of the LORD, Ps. 22: 30-31, who serve as David, Zec 12: 8.
BUT THE SANCTUARY WOULD BE MADE AMONG ISRAEL, Eze. 37: 28 --- THEREFORE GOD SANCTIFIES Ezekiel temple and priests, GIVEN THEM ORDINACES TO FOLLOW, Eze. 43: 18-27, 45: 18-25—
ACCORDING TO HIS ORDINANCES! People should worship Him together in HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS HE GIVES THROUGH HIS BAPTIZM, RO 6: 3-7---19,22. NOT SERVING SIN ANYMORE, RO 6: 6, 2 TIM 2: 19.
THEN HE WOULD ACCEPT SACRIFICES AND THANKSGIVING, PRAISES , PEOPLE OF ISRAEL OFFER—
Eze. 46: 1 -Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.
Gal 3: 28-There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. (PCG cannot give second place to women!)
Then, we are to be Christ’s.
This is why Paul was determined not to preach anything other than JESUS CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED, 1 Co 2: 2.
Therefore---IF YOU BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST, YOU SHOULD BE BAPTIZED UNTO HIS DEATH.
Gal 4: 1-2--That the heir,--- is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.—SO THERE IS AN APPOINTED TIME OF GOD OF WHOLE EARTH , JESUS CHRIST, AND TEACHING BY TUTORS (teachers) and governors (Isa 3: 4,12), is ordained by God---Isa 54:5 For your Maker is your husband, The LORD of hosts is His name; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth.
Therefore there is a time for JESUS CHRIST to REDEEM His children, through HIS SACRIFICE, until then ---Moses’ law was taught,
BUT IF YOU BREAK Moses’ law, YOU DIE---
Heb 10: 28 He that despised Moses’ law died---
And THOSE WHO GET BAPTIZED UNTO HIS DEATH WOULD LIVE as shown!
BELIEVERS OF JESUS CHRIST SHOULD EXAMINE--
We are the called out, who are being taught, Jn 6: 44,45. therefore LORD had called us for HIS PURPOSE, AND WE SHOULD NOT REBEL. LORD required to believe as children.
Jonah had to be in the belly of a fish---whatever HIS purpose is for us, HE WOULD GET IT DONE!
SO WHATEVER THE CREATOR GOD PURPOSES, WOULD BE DONE!
It is better to be a doer of the word, to fear GOD OF WHOLE EARTH than to fight Him! –IF YOU REBEL—YOU FIGHT!
IF HE HAD CHOSEN YOU, HE WOULD MOLD HIM AS HE NEEDS!
2Ti 2:20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
KEEP GOD’S JUDGMENTS AND HOPE IN ORDINANCES
Pr 7:2 Keep My commands and live, And My law as the apple of your eye.
Ps. 119: 17—live and keep My words, 21—rebuke proud, which do err from thy commandments, 21;--- hoped in Your ordinances, keep Your law continually, Forever and ever, 43, 44; --I remembered Your judgments of old, O LORD, And have comforted myself, 52; --law of Your mouth is better to me Than thousands of coins of gold and silver, 72;-- They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants, 91.
Law—Judgments—commandments—ordinances
Gal 4: 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.-- 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. (we should cry unto God for help!)
8--Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.—
-we did serve according to the sayings of ministers.---H.W.Armstrong restored Sabbath, holy days—NOT NEW MOONS! He projected baptizm of John!—he said Passover is on the 13th day in the evening! (it is 14th day evening!)
David did keep Sabbaths, new moons, holy days, 1 Chr 23: 30-31. OUT OF THOSE WAYS, H.W.Armstrong restored Sabbaths, holy days, Passover on a different day—13th day evening.---WILL JESUS CHRIST COMMEND SUCH A WORK?
COULD WE KEEP ERRING?
Gal 4: 9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?---
Now LORD had taught---could ISRAEL keep on doing what H.W.Armstrong taught?
10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. (with iniquity)---would PCG CALLED BY JESUS CHRIST, still want to err or rectify the errors?? ---
PCG which has to make the new covenant has to change their ways!
Paul taught of JESUS CHRIST and HIM CRUCIFIED, 1 CO 2: 2---JESUS CHRIST came in clouds and taught through gentiles, Eze. 30: 3, Mal 3:2,3---He came to revive David’s way of worship—Amos 9: 11
Amos 9: In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:---JESUS CHRIST IS BUILDING THE OLD WAY OF DAVID---LORD IS PLEASED WITH THE WAY DAVID WORSHIPPED!—Acts 13: 22. (he had a heart after His own heart)
And the LORD made known to gentiles THAT HE WOULD GIVE them A HEART TO KNOW HIM, Jer 24: 5-7.
Jer 24: 7--And I will give them an heart to know Me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be My people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto Me with their whole heart.----with that PROMISE, HE MADE US LIKE David, Zec 12: 8
And DAVID WORSHIPPED Sabbaths and new moons, holy days, 1 Chr 23: 30-31!
SO IF ISRAEL WORSHIP THE WAY H.W.Armstrong TAUGHT---IT WOULD BE IN VAIN! Gal 4: 11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
JESUS CHRIST had taught the true way, ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, Isa 66: 22-23!
Just as He creates new earth and new heavens, HE CREATES ALL FLESH TO WORSHIP HIM ON NEW MOONS AND ON SABBATHS, Isa 66: 22-23, and the transgressors are seen in Isa 66: 24!
SO IF THESE THINGS ARE NOT DONE THE WAY JESUS CHRIST HAD RESTORED IN HIS WORK, IT WOULD BE IN VAIN!
Paul taught the Baptizm unto His death, Ro 6: 3-7,
ONLY THROUGH THIS BAPTIZM THAT WE GET PARDONED TO COME INTO HIS PRESENCE FOR THE ERRORS THAT WE HAD DONE DURING H.W.Armstrong’s and Gerald Flurry’s time. OLD LAW DID NOT SAVE US---therefore—JESUS CHRIST changed the law, remember it is only the leaders that could lead people in wrong ways—they have to be corrected, Mal 3: 2,3!
Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
See an example- of changed law--
For instance, Moses taught—
Ex 21:23 And if any mischief follow,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
26 And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye’s sake.
27 And if he smite out his manservant’s tooth, or his maidservant’s tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth’s sake.
28 If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.

But JESUS CHRIST TAUGHT—
Mt 5:38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
38 - Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 - Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
AND ALL OVER GOSPELS, EPISTLES, LETTERS, we find TEACHINGS of JESUS CHRIST, through the new testament disciples! Well, LORD says He would write them in our hearts, Jer 31:33, that is when you read them, they register in your minds!
Holy Spirit --IS TAUGHT
Isa 40: 13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him?---14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?-----NOTICE—directing His Holy Spirit by teaching—instructing-
the above mentioned are some of SEVEN SPIRITS of the LORD, ----His SEVEN Holy Spirits--
TEACHING---TAUGHT—INSTRUCTING, THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF THE LORD, and JESUS CHRIST is the one who has them, Re 1:4, Re 3:1, Re 4:5, Re 5:6-So JESUS CHRIST HAS THE SEVEN SPIRITS –HIS Holy Spirit---He calls and teaches, Jn 6: 44, 45.
(read seven spirits in-- http://www.restoringcaptivity.com )
God even wrote WITH HIS FINGERS, the ten commandments on a tablet and gave Moses, De 9:10, Ex 31:18, even Ezekiel was asked to write ordinances, Eze. 43: 11.
Holy Spirit HAS TO BE TAUGHT, SO THAT IT REGISTERS IN MIND.
Jn 6:44 No man can come to Me, except the Father which hath sent Me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Jn 6: 45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God.
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life.
48 I am that bread of life.
Joh 12:50 "And I know that His command is everlasting life.
Ga 2:16 "knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.
WHEN WE HAVE FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST, WE ARE TO DO AS HE SAYS!
Joh 17:3 "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.—when we know Him, we know how to worship Him, days to assemble to worship, how to keep the laws of faith, how to love God and brethren, TO TEACH OF HIM TO THE CHILDREN—and so on!
Eccl 1: 4—generations pass away—earth abides forever.
One generation teach the next generation, Ps. 78: 5-7
Ps. 78: 5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:
7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
THAT IS WHAT IS EXPECTED OF ISRAEL! Keep teaching of God, to set their hope on THE GOD OF ISRAEL, and not in men, AS HAPPENED!
Gentile work is shown in Ps. 22: 30-31--
Ps. 22: 30 A seed shall serve Him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
31 They shall come, and shall declare His righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done this.
It is the gentile generation, Ps. 22: 30, teaching ISRAEL to hope in JESUS CHRIST!
Righteousness of JESUS CHRIST is being taught by us to ISRAEL!
COULD YOU SEE HOW THE WORD OF GOD IS PERFORMING—generations teach the next generation---gentiles declare HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS to next generation, Ps. 22: 31, which is ISRAEL.
ISRAEL children are born by gentile generation, Eze. 47: 22.
So the word of God is fulfilling as we see! ALL PRAISE BE TO HIM.
Joh 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Therefore—captives should get new life through LORD’S BAPTIZM UNTO HIS DEATH, Ro 6: 3-7, Zec 9: 11.
After LORD brings back the captivity---
Eze. 46: 1-- Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.
3 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons.
We are the called out, who are being taught, Jn 6: 44,45. therefore LORD had called us for HIS PURPOSE.
Heb 10; 31---It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
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.
When we who are called and taught, Jn 6: 44,45, are purified with His blood, and if we do not do the things said in His words, could fall into HIS WRATH , Joh 3:36!
We are to endure—to receive the promise—we live by faith (by believing His words TO DO THEM!) ---Heb 11: 1--Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen).---WE SHOULD HAVE FAITH AND BE OBEDIENT TO THE WORDS OF GOD, which ARE TO BE FULFILLED IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE.
Jn 6: 45-- It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God.
Isa 66; 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.
Eze. 46: 1----on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.---3-- Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons.
Jn 6: 45-- It is written in the above prophets, And they shall be all taught of God.
JESUS CHRIST is teaching today of HIS THINGS!
Jer 21:8 And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
Amos 9: 14-15—IS GOOD NEWS FOR ISRAEL--
14 And I will bring again the captivity of My people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.
PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING BE TO JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND GOD, THE ALMIGHTY, WISE COUNSELOR, TO LEAD HIS PEOPLE ISRAEL, TO ESTABLISH NEW JERUSALEM, Re 21: 2,3, Amen.
