LORD WOULD DRINK THE FRUIT OF THE VINE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD
Lu 22:18 -For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. LORD’S wife should be as a fruitful vine, producing children like olive plants, Ps. 128, BUT ISRAEL had ruined VINE BRANCHES, Nah 2: 2, THEREFORE---LORD WOULD ENJOY THE FRUIT OF HIS VINE, IN KINGDOM OF GOD WHEN JESUS CHRIST WOULD DWELL WITH HIS purified WIFE, Rev. 19: 7, 8; Rev. 21: 2,3, 10, Eze. 48:35,(after LORD makes the new covenant with her, Eze. 16: 60-63, of peace, Isa 54:10, Eze 34:25, Mal 2:5, which is the everlasting covenant of peace, Eze 37:26).
BURDEN AGAINST NINEVEH (in book of Nahum) is written in this article—ISRAEL have ruined their vine branches, Nah 2:2, and the LORD compares them to various things--
Please read the SUMMARY at the end of this article--
INTRODUCTION-- Read in this article that vineyard of the LORD is house of ISRAEL, the plant in it, is Judah, and it produced wild grapes instead of good fruit, Isa 5:2 , 4, (the workers of this plant should BE AS LORD’S WIFE, FRUITFUL VINE, TO GET children LIKE OLIVE PLANTS, Ps. 128: 1-6), but NO GOOD FRUITS WERE PRODUCED, and therefore He cannot enjoy the fruit of the vine,-- because of that fact, their wine press was trodden down by the LORD, Isa 63:3, served by gentiles, La. 1: 15, Rev. 11: 1, 2, wine was cast into the great winepress of the wrath of God, Re 14:20 And the winepress was trodden outside the city, Rev. 11: 1, 2, (in outer court of gentiles), and blood came out of the winepress, Rev. 14: 19, 20. Then the LORD scattered them in unknown nations, Eze. 32: 9, --Eze. 12: 13-15, and gave them the cup of fury, Jer. 25, ruled THOSE NATIONS with a rod of iron, trampled the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God, Re 19:15, and now pours His spirit, as the HIGH PRIEST of Melchisedec Order, Heb. 7: 1-3, 8: 1,2, so that they would have knowledge to serve their God, Rev. 22: 3. Then, He brings them back from captivity, Eze. 39: 28, 29. When they return, they would be made Holy through LORD’S BAPTIZM UNTO HIS DEATH, Rom. 6: 3-7, 19-22, and thus they would be holy to stand before their God and husband JESUS CHRIST, to serve Him, in His Righteousness unto Holiness, Rom. 6: 19, 22, without serving sin, Rom. 6: 6. They would THEN START PRODUCING GOOD FRUIT, WHICH JESUS CHRIST WOULD APPRECIATE (DRINK). JESUS CHRIST requires good fruit from His wife, and then the generations would be also producing good fruit forever, and thus THE COVENANT WOULD CONTINUE FOREVER. –HIS SEED WOULD REMAIN FOREVER OBEYING HIS DESIRES, Isa. 66: 23----but when they return to His temple, they should follow His ordinances, to BE OBEDIENT TO HIS LAWS! the laodiceans are required to take the words of God, to return to Him, Hos 14: 1, 2, therefore they should examine the word of God to PERFORM THEM!
Gerald Flurry wrote in Royal Vision July/ Aug 2000—page 11—“voluntarily accepting God’s government today qualifies us to BE CHRIST’S BRIDE---THE HIGHEST POSITION IN GOD’S KINGDOM”! – Comment—SINCE THE BRIDE WOULD HAVE THE HIGHEST POSITION in kingdom of God, and the fruit has to come from the vineyard of the LORD, but they are not ready to be in kingdom of God, Isa. 5: 7, as stated below, PCG, WHICH HAS TO MAKE THE NEW COVENANT, as BRIDE OF CHRIST, Eze.16: 60-63 SHOULD BE EXAMINING! As vss. 60-62 says that PCG would mother the rest of ISRAEL, it means that PCG would prepare the next generations from called–out ISRAEL, BUT FIRST PCG SHOULD COME INTO THE PRESENCE OF JESUS CHRIST! (JESUS CHRIST had made known whom He calls into this highest position!)--Eze. 16: 61 Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.--62 And I will establish My covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: CHRIST’S BRIDE---THE HIGHEST POSITION IN GOD’S KINGDOM” is offered to PCG Eze. 16: 62! –
BRIDE should COME FIRST—LORD IS WAITING FOR THIS BRIDE! HE SACRIFICED TO SEE HIS SEED OF ISRAEL, Isa. 53: 10, JESUS CHRIST WANTS THE PURIFIED BRIDE FIRST, Rev. 19: 7, 8, through THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB OF GOD, Rev. 7: 14-17, as having no sin, Rev. 14: 1-5, (she would be cleansed of all sins, through Rom. 6: 3-7, to serve Him, vs. 19, 22)----she would be Beulah and Hepzibah, a delightful BRIDE TO JESUS CHRIST, Isa. 62: 4-5.
Jer. 17: 12 -A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.—then, SANCTUARY LAWS SHOULD BE HIGHLY REGARDED! ---SANCTIFYING through BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST has to be done by laws of Sanctuary, as LORD SPECIFIES—in the last days it is Eze. Temple ordinances, Eze.43: 11—27, Eze. 45; 18-25, when they return from captivity.
Isa. 5 discusses that the VINE is Judah IN THE VINEYARD of THE LORD, and Eze. 15 discuss that THIS VINE IS USELESS and that LORD’S FIRE had burnt it, Eze. 15: 6 -Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.--7 And I will set My face against them; they shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I set My face against them.8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.(PCG the wife, Eze. 16: 8, committed harlotry, vs. 15, broke the covenant, vs. 59, and LORD pronounced WOE to her, vs. 23. She committed Eze. 44: 7, that is the Bamah abomination, Eze. 20: 29). —
THEREFORE---No joy, no singing in vineyards, ISRAEL 16:10, therefore LORD planted a foreign seedling Isa 17:10-11,(foreigners, gentiles, Eph. 2;11-12!) it is LORD’s doing, He created a seed as a generation, Ps. 22:30 which declares of ISRAEL seed, Ps. 22:31.
LORD’S wife made a covenant with death, Isa. 28: 15, but the LORD annuls it, Isa. 28; 18 (this would happen along with judgments, hail and overflowing waters, vs. 16-18) . Therefore the wife, spiritual Jerusalem, is as dead and blind as laodiceans! LORD has to give NEW LIFE to this VINE, through His sacrifice, Isa. 53: 10, which is LORD’S BAPTIZM, unto His death, Rom. 6: 3-22, when remembering His death at Passover! When the wife purifies through His sacrifice, they would be the 1st seed of ISRAEL, Isa. 53: 10.
Isa 5:7- For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and He looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
Jer. 17: 12 -A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.--13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from Me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters. 14- Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. (Jer. 17 discusses that LORD would punish ALL WHO DOES NOT HALLOW Sabbaths, people cannot hallow Sabbaths, if they are with iniquity, Isa. 1, and Sabbath is a sign between God and us, TO KNOW HIM, Eze. 20; 20). When PCG had brought in strangers of Bamah, Eze. 44: 7, Sabbaths were defiled, and their EYES are AFTER FATHER’S IDOLS, Eze. 20: 24.—see how word of God fulfills—PCG committed Eze. 20: 29 (going to Bamah), and now THEIR EYES are AFTER H.W.Armstrong’s things!
Jer. 17: 12 -A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.—PCG FORGOT TO GLORIFY GOD’S SANCTUARY BY PRAISING AND THANKING HIM LIKE HOW David DID! They started TRUSTING IN H.W.Armstrong, and his things! And they PRAISE H.W.Armstrong’s WORKS!
Jer 2:21-Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto Me? -- 19 -Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee:---25--but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.--26 As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets,--27 Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto Me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us. Know from above words---THAT IT IS PCG –that went after strangers to break covenant, Eze. 44: 7, 16: 15, 59---and now, princes, priests, prophet are to be ashamed---DID NOT Gerald Flurry SAY H.W.Armstrong is their father—and that H.W.Armstrong had brought forth PCG??
Gerald Flurry wrote in Royal Vision July/ Aug 2000—page 9—“I eventually came into church and BEGAN TO THINK OF H.W.Armstrong AS A FATHER”—page 11—“H.W.Armstrong restored God’s government—he was physical head—Philadelphia Church of God CLINGS TO THAT SAME GOVERNMENT”
–comment—Isa. 23: 15 says of one man government, and that 70 years are given to them, and in the end of that period she becomes a HARLOT! {1934-2004, then LORD broke the ships of Tarshish, Ps. 48, PCG showed Nebuchadnezzar on 5th Jan 2005, the leader became as a king of nations (Nebuchadnezzar), when LORD scattered ISRAEL in nations, Eze. 32: 9, then, ships of Tarshish started bringing LORD’S MESSAGES, Eze. 30: 9, during LORD’S DAY, Eze. 30; 3}. Isa. 23; 15 “singing as a harlot” fulfilled in PCG, when she broke covenant through harlotry, Eze. 16: 15, 59, 44: 7, against Lev. 22: 25. AS THEY ARE IN TROUBLE NOW, IT IS JESUS CHRIST’S ATONEMENT THAT COULD SAVE PCG, Eze. 16: 63, Rom. 6: 3-7 which is possible through Eze. 45: 21-24--- Jer. 2: 27-in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.---therefore—IT IS ONLY JESUS CHRIST THAT WOULD SAVE Philadelphia Church of God! ---TO PERFORM Eze. 45: 21-24---Philadelphia Church of God should FIRST KEEP THE ORDINANCE OF Eze. 43: 18-27—SEVEN DAYS OF SANCTIFYING, sprinkling blood, throwing salt, by Zadok’s sons, in outer court, vss. 18-27. (LORD had taught how to do these things, to the gentiles who did not go astray from God, when ISRAEL PCG went astray, Eze. 44: 15).
Gerald Flurry wrote in Royal Vision July/ Aug 2000—page 4—“H.W.Armstrong tried for years his message into Judah, THE NATION called ISRAEL--to Jews”—but how does JESUS CHRIST define ISRAEL-Rom. 9: 4--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:---ISRAEL IS CHURCH OF GOD! LORD’S messages are for church—church has to be prepared as BRIDE OF CHRIST! ---bride is Not all PHYSICAL nations of ISRAEL!---that IS WHY “VS. 6 SAY-- Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect”. THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT FULFILLING IN THE MIDST OF NATIONAL ISRAEL!---prophecies fulfill in the midst of last era church!
House of ISRAEL is those who serve God in house of God!—Rom. 9: 4, 6!
So we see how H.W.Armstrong had erred about his prophecies of ‘NATIONS”! –he took all the pains to find out area by area in the world map to record which nations is which! BUT LORD SAYS PROPHECIES WOULD NOT FULFILL IN ISRAEL NATIONS. -- For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel. H.W.Armstrong said of NATIONS that were formed of scattered physical ISRAEL ---in Britain, US and other places, BUT Rom. 9; 4, 6 says of church!
And Gerald Flurry wrote in page 32, Royal Vision Jyly/ Aug 2000—we accept young people who deeply realize that H.W.Armstrong is our spiritual father! ---the lies of H.W.Armstrong would be taught deeply to the new comers! NEW COMERS are those in womb, just getting ready to be born into the church! So the LEADERS KILL THOSE IN THE WOMB! They rip open pregnant women, children are dashed to death! Ps 58:3 -The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.---the young new comers would be liars strait away!—they would vow on prophecies of H.W.Armstrong!
H.W.Armstrong wrote in a good news personal (dated Aug 1979) as quoted by Gerald Flurry in Royal Vision July/Aug 2000, pg 40---H.W.Armstrong had said that “God allows His chosen human leader to be overthrown by Satan or --in any way to turn false- then H.W.Armstrong had given examples of Moses, Joshua, {Paul, Peter and of Himself-H.W.Armstrong had said “This church was drifting into a laodiceans condition”--- H.W.Armstrong continued- “The bad news is as it appears today, my dear brethren, IS THAT WE UNDOUBTEDLY of the Philadelphia Era ARE IN SERIOUS DANGER of BECOMING ALSO LAODICEAN ERA”-Gerald Flurry then wrote “H.W.Armstrong was talking about your Eternal life---or Eternal death!”
H.W.Armstrong had continued –“Satan is pulling out ALL STOPS NOW TO DESTROY THIS CHURCH OF GOD” !
So we see that PCG, had followed H.W.Armstrong’s lies ----and through disobeying God to repent, although LORD commanded to repent giving knowledge from all prophets, prophet did not do so, Jer. 44: 4, 5 ---PCG had produced useless fruit of the vine—LEADERS HAD BECOME FALSE! They follow false statements of H.W.Armstrong! Jas 2:10 -For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.---IT IS VERY EASY TO BECOME LAODICEANS! ---prophet was overthrown, Pr 14:11, Jer 18:23, Am 4:11, Ps. 74: 9, Isa. 22: 25, and prophet is described as “hath been” (past tense), Eze. 2: 5, 6, 33; 33. LEADERS COULD BECOME PREY TO SATAN--(David too was tested by Satan and David failed that test, 1Ch 21:1-And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.- 2 And David said --bring the number of them to me,--- 7 - And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel.--8 And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, ---SATAN IS A MASTER DECEIVER! Even some gentiles had departed from faith, 1 Tim 4: 1-3---Satan deceives! Rev. 12: 17.
“H.W.Armstrong was talking about your Eternal life---or Eternal death!”—then, PCG which turned Laodicean, should understand what H.W.Armstrong said! –they ought to UNDERSTAND THAT THEY NEED TO PRESERVE ETERNAL LIFE OF ISRAEL!—AND JESUS CHRIST IN HIS MERCY HAD PAVED THE WAY THROUGH HIS ATONEMENT, Eze. 16: 63, TO GIVE NEWNESS OF LIFE, which is the BLESSING He gives through Baptizm unto His death, Rom 6: 3-7, which gives HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HOLINESS, to serve Him, Vs. 19,22, and not serve sin, Rom. 6: 6. When they accept LORD’S BAPTIZM, they would prolong life, as a seed of JESUS CHRIST, Isa. 53: 10, THUS ISRAEL LIFE WOULD BE PRESERVED!
HOUSE OF ISRAEL IS GUILTY OF WRONG JUDGMENTS --- Eze.18: 11- 30 - 31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?—LORD REQUIRES LEADERS OF GOD’S CHURCH TO LOVE HIS LAWS AND COMMANDMENTS, THEY ARE GIVEN TO THOSE WHO SERVE HIM IN HIS SANCTUARY, HAVING HIS COVENANT, Rom. 9; 4, 6.
SINCE ISRAEL FAILED TO KEEP HIS COVENANT, as they forsook His laws, Jer. 11; 13-15, LORD desolated Jerusalem and Judah, Jer. 9: 11. ISRAEL church broke covenant that was made with the fathers, Jer. 11: 10. Therefore—LORD allowed them to walk in their own counsels as they are stubborn, Ps. 81: 11, 12. Rulers destroyed GOD’S VINEYARD, THEY HAVE TRODDEN GOD’S PORTION UNDER FOOT, Jer. 12: 10-----therefore, SWORD OF GOD shall devour from one end to the other, NO FLESH would HAVE PEACE, Jer. 12: 12, (sword of God is word of God, Eph. 6: 17). LORD SCATTERED ISRAEL among gentiles, and IS SENDING HIS SWORD UNTIL THEY ARE CONSUMED! Jer. 9: 16. Therefore---MOURNING IN Zion, Jer. 9: 19-22, leaders should not glory in themselves, BUT GLORY THAT THEY KNOW HIM, Jer. 9: 24-when PCG ACCEPTS BAPTIZM OF JESUS CHRIST, Rom. 6, IT MEANS THEY HAD BEEN CONSUMED! So until then---LORD’S SWORD WOULD COME TO THEM!—we are commanded to do so! David and Levi do not lack a man, Jer. 33: 15-18, and the feeble serve as David, Zec 12: 8, these feeble work, one as a thousand, Isa. 60: 22---this work would go on until laodiceans are consumed, to serve in LORD’S HOUSE OF PRAYER, Isa. 56: 4-7, we are to keep vows of Judah, Na 1:15, as we are given lands of Judah, Jer. 39: 10.
Jer. 9: 23--Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:--24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth Me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.---we should learn the Holy, Righteous ways of God!
BURDEN AGAINST NINEVEH—ISRAEL have ruined their wine branches, Nah 2:2
NAHUM 1---LORD’S fury is poured out LIKE FIRE, Nah. 1: 6, (fire is the words of God, Jer. 5:14, 23:29) sent because of the wicked counselor, vs. 11, therefore LORD makes an utter end with a flood of water (Revelations), vs. 8-9, and LORD’s gospel of peace covenant would be proclaimed during LORD’s day by the remnant of Judah, vs. 15 (gentiles became the remnant of Judah, Jer. 39:10, when LORD came as a branch to Judah, to save ISRAEL, Jer 23:5, 6), LORD pronounced doom to ISRAEL church PCG, Jer. 11:17, because they did not obey the words of covenant , Jer. 11:2-3 } therefore NO REMNANT OF PCG REMAINS, Jer. 11;23.
LORD refines PCG, Jer. 9:7, Mal 3:2,3, as they speak deceit, Jer. 9:8, and had eaten up Jacob, Jer. 10:25, they rejoice when they do evil, Jer. 11:15, (as we had experienced, some PCG leaders rejoice when they disfellowship people of God!---LORD’S WORDS ARE VERY TRUE!)
Nah 2- LORD will restore the excellence of Jacob, for LORD’s people of ISRAEL have ruined their wine branches, Nah 2:2---LORD’s chariots would come, they run like lightning, Nah 2:3-4, ISRAEL nobles stumble and they are led captive, LORD’s maid servants would lead them, Nah 2:7 (maid servants, the gentiles, Rev. 11:1-4, who were given His spirit, Joel 2:28,29, serve ISRAEL , Isa. 14:1,2, His spirit being life giving words of God, Jn 6: 63). These ISRAEL PCG are not like Nineveh of old who readily repented, 2:8, but with LORD’s work, PCG work and their messages would end, Nah 2:13.
Nah 3---LORD spread the skirt when He made covenant with PCG, Eze. 16:8, but now He removes skirt and show their nakedness, pronouncing woe to them, Nah 3:5,1, because of harlotry, vs. 4 ( woe to harlot, Eze. 16:15,23-25) Leaders had become like women, 3:13, like many locusts, vs. 15,17 like many merchants,. Vs. 16, so these leaders represented locusts like horses, Rev. 9:7, as two hundred million, Rev. 9:16, ISRAEL who are as sand of sea , 2 Ch 1:9, and like numerous locusts, Judges 6: 5, ISRAEL are also compared to merchants of Babylon who deceived nations, Rev. 18:21-24. During LORD’S DAY she was BURNT by LORD who judged her, Rev. 18:8. DECEIVED PCG LEADERS FOUGHT THE LORD as 666, Rev. 13: 18, as beast power and nations, Ref 17: 1- 15, as at Armageddon, Rev. 16, as in Jehoshaphat valley, as 200 million horsemen on horses which were as locusts, Rev. 9, as Pharaoh LORD created, Rom. 9: 17, as Nebuchadnezzar, and in many other ways as LORD portrayed in prophecies---THEY ARE ALL LORD’S PARABLES OR COMPARISONS! All these had been explained in http://www.restoringcaptivity.com .
So we see that PCG, through disobeying God and following H.W.Armstrong, had produced useless fruit of the vine-
SUMMARY---
• Just as H.W.Armstrong said, end time leaders had become false. Since 70 years were given to church, as prophesied those years ended, church becoming as a harlot, Isa. 23: 15. Joy of church, voice of bride and bridegroom taken away, Jer. 25: 10-12 (after 70 years {1934-2004}, LORD started punishing, vs. 12, LORD took ships of Tarshish to serve Him during LORD’S DAY, Eze. 30; 3, 9, Isa. 60: 9, they are silver smiths, Jer. 10: 9, using LORD’S WORDS as silver, Ps. 12: 6.
• Since LORD is using the name WORD OF GOD when giving LIFE to wife, Re 19: 13, providing clothes of Righteousness, vs.7,8, THE WORDS OF LIFE which is HOLY SPIRIT, Jn 6: 63, is poured on them, Eze. 39: 28, 29, through His present day servants, the gentiles who wait for His law, Isa. 42: 4, name of the LORD in COASTLANDS, Isa. 24: 15.
• H.W.Armstrong erred from the beginning, he did not restore worshipping New Moons according to LORD’S WILL, Isa. 66: 23, as David did, 1 Chr 23: 30-31. H.W.Armstrong did change the ordinance of Passover to 13th day evening when it is 14TH DAY EVENING! H.W.Armstrong TAUGHT OF TWO GODS—when JESUS CHRIST is the only God , ALMIGHTY FATHER, Isa. 9: 6, Isa. 54: 55 (For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is His name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall He be called). 10 commandments say of ONE GOD, Ex. 20!—to redeem the BRIDE (in the first place), HE SACRIFICED HIMSELF! H.W.Armstrong TOOK THE CHURCH TO THE WORLD, when we are required NOT TO GO TO THE WORLD, (Joh 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world,-- Joh 17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given Me;-- Joh 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.)—preaching to the world DOES NOT PRODUCE THE WIFE AS A HOLY BRIDE---SINCE THE BRIDE SHOULD BE PREPARED FIRST, CHURCH SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON THE WORD OF GOD WHICH GIVES LIFE TO THE DEAD LAODICEAN WIFE! When the bride prepares as a precious wife to JESUS CHRIST, then she would call next generations as SEEDS.
• Since the church fails, and the LORD KNEW THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN, GOD MADE HIMSELF AS A SON OF GOD, Heb. 7: 3, and was named JESUS, which means “He saves His people from SIN”, Mt 1: 21. Sanctuary laws require sacrifices for ATONEMENT for sin, Lev. 9: 2-7. Since LORD’S WAY is in Sanctuary, Ps. 77: 13, and He exalts His laws, GOD DECIDED TO COME AS A MAN TO PAY FOR THE SINS OF THE PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE CHOSEN TO COME INTO HIS PRESENCE (to the most Holiest, Heb 9:3, 8, to enter boldly into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, Heb 10:19). IF HE DID NOT DO THAT---all ISRAEL would fail to PRESERVE THE COVENANT MADE WITH FATHERS! So using many parables, comparisons, and HIS WONDERFUL COUNSELS, Isa. 9: 6, LORD’S DAY work of purifying ministry took place, Mal 3: 2,3 work was done through the silver smiths, Jer. 10: 9, LORD’S servants of gentiles, Eze. 30: 3. LIFE GIVING WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST written in the BOOK OF LIFE, were used to show LORD’S WORK, when HE ESTABLISHES HIS SANCTUARY in the midst of ISRAEL, Eze. 37: 27, 28.

Gerald Flurry wrote in Royal Vision July/ Aug 2000—page 11—“voluntarily accepting God’s government today qualifies us to BE CHRIST’S BRIDE---THE HIGHEST POSITION IN GOD’S KINGDOM”! – God’s government is not H.W.Armstrong’s government or Gerald Flurry’s government to do worldly things! Aaron or Moses or David never praised people, and they did HONOR SANCTUARY LAWS to HONOR AND PRAISE GOD---Sanctuary laws of old are what God Himself taught to Moses or the leaders. Those SHOW THE MIND OF GOD! Although the sacrifices are no more, SINCE JESUS CHRIST BECAME THE PERFECT SACRIFICE, Sanctuary laws are to be HIGLY REGARDED, like the ordinances of the Sanctuary, to PRESERVE IT’S BEAUTY. Ministry should safeguard it’s holiness because we worship THE GOD OF WHOLE EARTH! The WIFE MUST KEEP THE HUSBAND’S HOUSE IN HOLINESS, and therefore she should KNOW THE LORD! This is why LORD gave ample knowledge, Isa. 11: 9 before she would be brought back from captivity, Eze. 39: 28, 29, through a second exodus, Isa. 11: 11.
• Just as LORD brought a seed of gentiles, Ps. 22: 30, as first born of poor, Isa. 14: 30, and they would declare of the ISRAEL seed, Ps. 22: 31, they bear children among ISRAEL, Eze. 47: 22, and those children of ISRAEL would be IN THE HIGHEST POSITION AS WIFE OF CHRIST, Rev. 21: 2,3,10. When she gets Baptizm unto His death, Rom 6: 3-7, which gives HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HOLINESS, Vs. 19,22, she would be raised (resurrected) in newness of life, Rom. 6: 4, 5, just as LORD raised in heavenly places, Eph. 1: 20, they too would raise in heavenly places. Then they all descend as NEW JERUSALEM, Rev. 21: 2, 3, 10. They are purified through His blood, Rev. 7: 14-17. We remember blood at His death, so we remember His death at Passover, taking His broken body and blood as communion of “cup of blessing”, 1Co 10:16. Peter said that we get HOLY SPIRIT, when we get baptized in the name of JESUS CHRIST for the REMISSION OF SINS, Acts 2: 38, that is BAPTIZM UNTO HIS DEATH! Col 2: 11-13 say we put off the body of sin through the circumcision of Christ, when we get baptized unto His death, WE SHALL BE QUICKENED having forgiven you all trespasses;----SO WE SEE THE BLESSING OF HIS DEATH FOR US TO BE BORN AGAIN WITHOUT SIN!
• THUS, THROUGH THE BAPTIZM OF JESUS CHRIST, HE WOULD SEE A HOLY SEED TO BE WITH HIM AS HIS WIFE, Rev. 21, 22.
• And the word of Isa. 53: 10-11-- it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief: when thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand.--11 He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied: by His knowledge shall My righteous servant justify many; for He shall bear their iniquities.---WHAT DO WE LEARN FROM THOSE WORDS---LORD gives life to His seed through HIS SACRIFICE, BEARING THEIR INIQUITIES---JESUS CHRIST paid the penalty for our sins, to PROLONG HIS DAYS---look—God chose ISRAEL as His people, made a covenant with fathers to give eternal life---IF THE CHURCH FAILS---ISRAEL FAILS---NO FAMILY FROM ISRAEL! ---THE LOVE OF GOD FOR HIS FAMILY MADE HIM TO SUFFER ON THE CROSS, TO SAVE ISRAEL FROM DYING ETERNALLY!----but now, JESUS CHRIST would see A SEED HAVING NEWNESS OF LIFE through His baptizm which is offered to ISRAEL, as FIRST FRUITS---the VINE, Judah has to get life from the ‘CUP OF BLSSSING” through His death on the cross! (at this moment, we should remember how Satan deceived H.W.Armstrong about the CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST!—H.W.Armstrong MADE people dishonor the CROSS of JESUS CHRIST, saying it is a method of killing!) but Paul preached the gospel of cross,
• 1Co 1:17- For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.---John baptized unto repentance, with water, Mt 3:11, and he insisted on the baptizm of Christ, with fire and Holy Spirit, Mt 3:11 ---fire of Jer. 5: 14, you need to burn wickedness, Isa. 9: 18, and Holy Spirit is life giving words, Jn 6: 63, to show how LIFE would be MADE ETERNAL WHEN YOU LIVE WITH LORD’S WORDS, BY DOING THEM, Jas 1:22, we are to eat God’s words, Jer 15:16—so John exalted LORD’S BAPTIZM!.
• We saw how LORD sees a seed when He sacrifices Himself, Isa. 53: 10---NOW IF YOU SEE MT 1: 17----you would see that there is NO RECORD AFTER THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST! HE HAD NOT PRODUCED A SEED! JESUS CHRIST cannot produce just unholy seeds! HE HAS TO PRODUCE A HOLY SEED! the only way to produce a holy seed WAS TO BE THROUGH HIS SACRIFICE! It was His pleasure to SEE A HOLY SEED THROUGH HIM! So—THE GOD OF WHOLE EARTH, made Himself as a SON OF GOD, Heb. 7: 3, and He had power to raise Himself, AS HE IS GOD, Jn 10: 18. Nothing is impossible to Him, Lu 18:27 , Mr 10:27, Mt 19:26 –we men think in HUMAN terms---BUT GOD THINKS IN HIS ALMIGHTY WAYS!
• So we should see how the end time church which made the covenant, Eze. 16: 8, broke it, vs. 59, failed to get clothes for marriage on her own as they trusted the man H.W.Armstrong for a work of error, Jer. 17: 5.
But God is their HELPER, Isa 43:3, Isa 45: 15; -He provided His atonement to them, Eze. 16:63, MAKING A NEW AND A BETTER COVENANT through SPRINKLING HIS BLOOD, Heb 12:24, the blessings from His death to shine upon PCG to make the eternal covenant , Ez 16:60-62. They should take His words, Hos 14:1,2, to be Baptized unto His death, Rom 6: 3-7, which gives HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HOLINESS, to serve Him, Vs. 19,22, thereafter they should not serve sin, Rom. 6: 6, 2 Tim 2: 19. Through sprinkling His blood, they have to be sanctified to enter the Sanctuary, (seven days), Eze. 43: 18-27, to keep the true Passover, Eze. 45: 18-25, which is baptizm unto Death of JESUS CHRIST, Rom. 6.
Read--- “RETURNING THROUGH ORDINANCE OF SECOND PASSOVER WHEN YOU HAD FORSAKEN GOD Jer. 17: 5” -- since PCG did not keep Eze. 43: 18-27, they cannot enter Sanctuary for Passover in first month, as THEY HAD NOT GOT THEMSELVES SANCTIFIED TO COME INTO THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY LORD, according to HIS ORDINANCES! Therefore, just as king Hezekiah made ISRAEL congregation, PCG too should do –2 Chr 30: 2-- to keep the Passover in the second month.--3 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently,
LORD’s judgments should be honoured! 2 Chr 30: 8 -Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into His sanctuary, which He hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of His wrath may turn away from you.—ISRAEL HISTORY REPEATS NOW! And during the present days, whoever is being called by God to come out of captivity, to be first fruits of ISRAEL would do so! Others would come as their next generation, Eze. 16: 61-62. Between now and 10th April 2013 (7 days of Eze. 43: 18-27 ordinance), and then the 1st day (April 11th) and 7th day (April 17th) -- and Passover in second month on April 24th 2013 could be observed.
MAY LORD’S WILL BE DONE, AND ALL THANKSGIVING AND PRAISES BE TO THE LAMB OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST, THE MAKER AND HUSBAND OF ISRAEL, AMEN AND AMEN.
