PART 1 CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST , THE POWER OF GOD 1 CO 1.18

(4/Jan /2011)

PAUL PREACHED HIM CRUCIFIED, 1Co 1:23

That means he preached facts about CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST!

INTRODUCTION

The cross of JESUS CHRIST is the power seen to bring salvation to ISRAEL and all nations according to His will. If you look at “ first Adam” who brought sin, and the “last Adam” who GIVES LIFE, 1Co 15:45, the second Man is the Lord from heaven, VS. 47, HE IS SPIRITUAL, VS. 46, HE RECONCILES HIS PEOPLE AND CREATES PEACE THROUGH HIS BLOOD SHED ON THE CROSS, Col 1:20.

This is why we remember His blood on the day of passover. So passover reminds us of the cross of JESUS CHRIST! Abraham’s seed ISRAEL (the spiritual ISRAEL), and gentiles, Ga 3:14, are to have faith in JESUS CHRIST, Ro 4:12, 13, those who are of faith are blessed through faith of Abraham, Ga 3:9, THEN FINISHER OF OUR FAITH, instructs us to have faith in Him as JESUS CHRIST ENDURED THE CROSS to bear sins of all, Heb 12:2, Joh 1:29, because the promise comes through Righteousness of faith, Ro 4:13 , faith in Christ, Ro 3:22 , AND THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS IS THE POWER OF GOD, to those who are being saved,1Co 1:18. THE LORD RAISED FROM DEATH ON THE CROSS TO FREE US FROM SINS, 1Co 15:17  And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!

The cross is connected to His resurrection, baptism, sacrifice and offering for sin, propitiation, cleansing, salvation, reconciliation, Passover , making new covenant, and Christ as HIGH PRIEST OVERPOWERING THE MINISTRY OF SPIRITUAL ISRAEL ----also many other things that are done THROUGH THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST!

1 CO 1: 18  For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

Gal 3: 13  Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

WHEN ISRAEL FAILED THROUGH THE LAW, JESUS CHRIST BECAME THE CURSE FOR THEM AND DIED ON THE CROSS TO SAVE THEM!

Isa 42:24-For they would not walk in His ways, Nor were they obedient to His law.

1

Even from the introduction above, one could see Adam, Abraham, passover (just three examples), pointed to the CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST!

If you consider Adam, one could picture all people and their sins, and the LORD paid the penalty for those sins,

1Jo 2:2  And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins,

Ro 3:25  whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,

Then Abraham is the father of nations, the promise is to his seed, but one is to obtain the promise through the GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST,

Ga 3:29  And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham‘s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Ro 4:16  Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all-

Ga 3:7  Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham.

THEN ALL SPIRITUAL ISRAEL (first the ministry, Mal 3: 3 will be purified and reconciled to make the eternal covenant, Isa 59: 21, Isa 66: 22-23), through the already purified GENTILES, Isa 14: 30, Isa 14: 1-2, Isa 60: 3, Ez 30: 3,9.

SO WHEN YOU SPEAK OF Abraham,

• you picture all spiritual ISRAEL and gentiles associated with them, Ez 47: 22 (as first called and purified as His ministry, Mal 3: 18) ,
• we speak of physical people of ISRAEL in history as connected to SPIRITUAL PEOPLE of Abraham, physical ISRAEL pictured to the day of JESUS CHRIST!

Ro 9:6-For they are not all Israel who are of Israel,

7  nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, "In Isaac your seed shall be called."

8  That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.

JOHN 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.

45  It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God.

MESSAGE BIBLE SAYS—

John 6. 44- The Father who sent me is in charge. He draws people to me—that’s the only way you’ll ever come. Only then do I do My work, putting people together, setting them on their feet, ready for the End.

45  This is what the prophets meant when they wrote, ‘And then they will all be personally taught by God.’ Anyone who has spent any time at all listening to the Father, really listening and therefore learning, comes to Me to be taught personally—to see it with his own eyes, hear it with his own ears, from Me, since I have it firsthand from the Father.

AND JOHN 6 CONTINUES—(message bible)

46  No one has seen the Father except the One who has his Being alongside the Father—and you can see Me.

47  "I’m telling you the most solemn and sober truth now: Whoever believes in Me has real life, eternal life.

48  I am the Bread of Life.

49  Your ancestors ate the manna bread in the desert and died.

50  But now here is Bread that truly comes down out of heaven. Anyone eating this Bread will not die, ever.

51  I am the Bread—living Bread!—who came down out of heaven. Anyone who eats this Bread will live—and forever! The Bread that I present to the world so that it can eat and live is Myself, this flesh-and-blood self."

Joh 6:55  "For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.

1Co 11:25  In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."

LIKEWISE THE CALLED OUT ISRAEL RECEIVE Passover SACRIFICE OF THE LORD!

If we speak of Passover  —and connected incidents to Passover --

• we remember Moses, all ISRAEL who were under the cloud and fire, Ex 13:21, 22, Ps 78:14, people under the cloud in the sea were baptised, 1Co 10: 2, La 2: 13,
• The same cloud and fire above TABERNACLE, Ex 40:38, Nu 9:15, 16, and fire and cloud prophesied for spiritual ISRAEL, Isa 4:5, Eze 1:4, Re 10:1,
• Physical pointed to spiritual--When the spiritual ISRAEL are in spiritual sea, La 2: 13, the LORD spread a spiritual cloud as a covering, cloud and fire, Ps 105:39, cloud given when JESUS CHRIST does His work, Ez 30; 3, with gentiles.
• passover reminds us crossing red sea, being saved from Pharaoh, Ex 14:24, and the LORD raised a Pharaoh, Rom 9: 17, for His short work mentioned in the same chapter, Rom 9: 28, the same work done by the gentile remnant, Ro 9:29—33. IN THIS SAME CHAPTER, ROM 9—VS. 17 RECORDS that the LORD created Pharaoh TO SHOW HIS POWER!

• PAUL PREACHED HIM CRUCIFIED, 1Co 1:23, as Paul is the minister to gentiles, Rom 15: 16, WE TOO PREACH HIM CRUCIFIED and TO SHOW THE POWER OF HIS CROSS! THE CROSS HAS MANY FUNCTIONS AS YOU SEE NOW!

• We had shown in our writings how Passover  pictures the saving of His people, we remember every year His death on the cross, we know we have to remove our spiritual leaven (sin) along with Passover ! 2Ti 2:19- Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.—WHEN YOU GET THE SEAL OF HIM, YOU DEPART FROM INIQUITY!

• So we see connected with Passover – Pharaoh, Egypt, all  physical and spiritual-- , spiritually the spiritual ISRAEL and their leaders, their leader as Pharaoh and his army or horses as the ministry, picturing removing sin from ALL OF THEM, MAL 3; 3, THE LORD CREATED A Pharaoh FOR THIS PURPOSE.  

4

Eze 39:20  You shall be filled at My table With horses and riders,

• Though all ISRAEL had a history with JESUS CHRIST, He is now concerned with the called out—

THE CALLED OUT ARE TO BE PRIESTS- 1Pe 2:9  But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

• AND THIS IS ALL ABOUT PREPARING THE BRIDE OF JESUS CHRIST TO MAKE THE NEW COVENANT!—IN THE LAST END OF THE BIBLE, THE NEW CREATION which is NEW JERUSALEM IS PROPHESIED! That is the bride who would be with Him forever, and that is a land, Isa 62: 4,5, a land of priests. Prophecies for priests, --of Ananthoth, Jer 1:1, against them, Jer 1:18, --who were in the throne of David, Jer 13:13, when the priests fasted, it was for their own reasons, Zec 7:5, --they had to be purified, Mal 3: 3, Acts 15: 16, --SO IT IS A LAND OF PRIESTS THAT HE SEEKS AS THE BRIDE. THE CHURCH FORMS THE BRIDE! ALL HAVE TO BE PURIFIED TO KNOW HOW HE IS TO BE PRAISED AND WORSHIPPED IN THIS NEW LAND.

• THE WORK OF THE DAY OF THE LORD IS TO PURIFY THE MINISTRY, AND NOT THE WORLD!

• WHEN YOU READ THE OTHER PARTS OF “THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST”, YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND, --that baptism, sacrifice and offering, propitiation, cleansing, saving, reconciliation, making new covenant, BECOMING HIGH PRIEST OVERPOWERING THE MINISTRY OF SPIRITUAL ISRAEL ----and many other things are done THROUGH THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST!

• THIS IS WHY Ps. 138 : 2 SAYS-- I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

• WE COULD SEE HOW THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST IS MAGNIFIED WITH HIS WORK ASSOCIATED WITH THE CROSS

·       THE SPIRITUAL PEOPLE OF GOD SHOULD UNDERSTAND HOW VAST IS THE WORK OF JESUS CHRIST THROUGH HIS CROSS!

5

1Co 1:18  For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

19  For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."

20  Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

LOOK AT THE WONDER OF THE CROSS –those who understand are those who are saved—and they know the message of the cross!

MESSAGE OF THE CROSS CONTAINS ALL HISTORY OF ISRAEL AND HOW THEY WILL BE SAVED THROUGH THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST!

CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST IS CONSIDERED FOOLISHNESS AMONG SPIRITUAL ISRAEL—but the cross was preached by Paul, and now the gentiles, and THE WISE PROPHETS OF ISRAEL WILL BE BROUGHT TO NOUGHT BY JESUS CHRIST says the above 1 co 1: 19. and foolish gentiles were made the WISDOM of the world (vs. 20). That vs. fulfills, Ro 10:19  But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says: "I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation, I will move you to anger by a foolish nation."

De 32:21- But I will provoke them to jealousy by those who are not a nation; I will move them to anger by a foolish nation.

ISRAEL PROPHET AND MINISTRY WILL THINK HOW THESE FOOLISH GENTILES CAN SPEAK WISDOM OF GOD—BUT THE LORD SAID IN THE ABOVE VSS. THAT HE WILL BRING IN A FOOLISH NATION TO SPEAK WISDOM OF GOD!

SPIRITUAL ISRAEL SHOULD REALISE THAT THESE FOOLISH NATION HAD DONE A GREAT WORK-

http://www.gentileassembly.org/

1 Co 1: 25  Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.(WEAKNESS OF GOD IS SHOWN WHEN HE DIED ON THE CROSS-Joh 12:27  -Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour‘? But for this purpose I came to this hour.

BUT THAT WEAKNESS IS STRONGER THAN MEN!

The CROSS BECAME VERY POWERFUL!

THROUGH THE CROSS HE SAVED ANY WHO COMES TO HIM BY BELIEVEING HIM, AND HAVING FAITH IN HIM-

The foolishness of cross is WISER THAN MEN!

6

1 Co 1: 21  For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

THE SO CALLED WISE PROPHET AND MINISTRY OF SPIRITUAL ISRAEL DID NOT KNOW JESUS CHRIST, THE TRUE GOD, therefore IT PLEASED GOD TO SAVE THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN THE FOOLISH MESSAGE OF THE CROSS!

THAT MESSAGE IS WISER THAN THE MEN WHO WILL PERISH IF THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST, THE SAVIOUR WHO ATTAINS ALL THINGS BY THE CROSS!

We remember atonement once a year, le 16: 34, NOW THROUGH THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST, Col 2:14 ,

The LORD had prophesied –Lev. 26: 40-42-If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against Me, and that also they have walked contrary unto Me;--guilt of WCG and PCG, Ez 16: 15, Re 17: 5.

41  And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:--they are in captivity, Ez 39: 23, Re 11: 2-4.

42  Then will I remember My covenant with Jacob, and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. –HE WILL REMEMBER, Isa 59: 21, Isa 62: 4-5, Re 21: 2.

THEN Revelations 19: 7 WOULD HAPPEN-

RE 19: 7  Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready.

WE HAVE TO GIVE HONOUR TO HIM, AS HE HAD DONE GREAT THINGS THROUGH HIS CROSS!

AND HIS WIFE WILL HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO WITH HIM!

GENEALOGY OF JESUS CHRIST HAS TO BE CONTINUED, BUT WITH A HOLY SEED—AS CHRIST WAS BORN OF HOLY SPIRIT--

MT 1: 1-  The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

17  So all the generations from Abraham --- and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

THE HOLY SEED HAS TO BE RECORDED AFTER CHRIST! IT WILL BE FULFILLED AS PROPHESIED IN Isa 59: 20-21.

18 -  Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise

21  And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins.

22  Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

23  Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

The book of generation of JESUS CHRIST does not mention of His NEXT GENERATION!

HIS WIFE COMMITTED SIN --HARLOTRY Ez 16: 15, RE 17: 5, AND afterwards the whole land is wicked,

Eze 16:23  "Then it was so, after all your wickedness––‘Woe, woe to you!’ says the Lord GOD––this is the land Jerusalem where the LORD placed a prophet, Ez 2: 5, 33; 33. THIS PROPHET WAS GIVEN KNOWLEDGE NOT TO SIN, BUT THE CHURCH DID NOT HEED TO THE WORDS OF GOD sent through all prophets, and therefore the PROPHET COULD NOT PREPARE THE BRIDE, bride, Jerusalem is sinful, Eze. 16: 2, Jer 44: 4,5. THEREFORE SHE HAS TO BE MADE NEW, new Jerusalem has to be prepared as the bride of JESUS CHRIST, Re 19: 7, Re 21:2.

JESUS CHRIST HAS HOLY WAYS, spiritual ways, HIS BRIDE SHOULD LEAD THE CHURCH IN A HOLY, LOVING spiritual WAY AND NOT WICKEDLY, troubling the sheep! THE LORD DOES NOT WANT THAT TYPE OF WICKEDNESS IN HER!

THEREFORE SHE CANNOT PRODUCE A HOLY SEED. AND SHE IS IN SPIRITUAL CAPTIVITY, Ez 39; 23. THEY NEED TO BE SAVED AS THE LORD HAD SENT THEM INTO CAPTIVITY, AND THE LORD IS WORKING TO BRING THEM BACK IN HIS MERCY, ROM 9: 28, Eze 39:28.

8

MAT 1: 21-23 MENTIONS THAT HE WILL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS—AND HE IS GOD! HE IS GOD WITH US! HE IS EMMANUEL!

HIS BRITH WAS FORETOLD IN Isa 7:14- Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.—

HE IS MANIFEST---Isa 9: 6  For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

GOD WITH US—EMMANUEL—A CHILD—A SON—HIS NAME IS ALSO WONDERFUL—COUNSELLOR—THE MIGHTY GOD—EVERLASTING FATHER—PRINCE OF PEACE!

THE ONE TRUE GOD CAME IN THE FORM OF A SON OF GOD!

Lu 1:35  And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

He is the saviour--Lu 2:11 

Joh 3:16  - whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.--17  -that the world through Him might be saved.

Heb 7:3- made like the Son of God,

HE TOOK THE FORM OF A MAN, A SERVANT, HUMBLED TO DIE ON THE CROSS—

Php 2:7  But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

Php 2:8  And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

9

THE SON OF GOD AS THE MEDIATOR, THE HIGH PRIEST--

Just as Isa 7: 14 prophesied of His coming the first time, ---

HE COMES AS MEDIATOR, THE HIGH PRIEST a second time! And His priesthood is continous--Heb 7:3- made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually.

HE CAME AS THE HIGH PRIEST OF MELCHISEDEC ORDER, Heb 5:6, 10, Heb 6:20, Heb 7:17, 21,  when He came the second time- Heb 9:28  --He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

HIS WAY IS IN THE SANCTUARY –Ps. 77: 13—a HIGH PRIEST HAS HIS WAY IN THE SANCTUARY! Therefore He would be associated with a house of God, a house of prayer, and that was fulfilled in Isa 56: 4-7, when ISRAEL failed in serving Him, Eze. 24: 21,--  

watchmen of ISRAEL, the prophet and ministry became blind, Isa 56: 9-11.

(in Isa 56: 9 -- All ye beasts of the field, come to devour,--they have to be devoured! Their wickedness have to be devoured, Isa 9: 18.

spiritually beasts are men who do not understand, Ps 49:20,

And fields are houses of land which has no walls, Le 25:31,

AND JERUSALEM, Eze. 16: 2, was prophesied to be towns without walls, Zec 2:4, THEREFORE, THE LORD APPOINTED GENTILES TO BE WATCHMEN OF SPIRITUAL ISRAEL, Isa 62:6, and gentiles serve Him in Isa 56: 4-7 as a HIGH PRIEST has to be in a house of prayer, Zec 12: 8-10).

SPIRITUALLY ISRAEL IN GOD’S CHURCH, DO NOT KNOW THE WAYS OF JESUS CHRIST. THEIR WAYS HAVE TO BE DESTROYED, AND KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST HAS TO BE GIVEN TO THEM, TO CONTINUE THE COVENANT WITH JESUS CHRIST, Isa 59: 21, AND THEREFORE HE POURS HIS SPIRIT which are words, Jn 6: 63, through the gentiles, Isa 62: 6, TO GIVE THEM KNOWLEDGE, Isa 11:9  , Hab 2:14, (the spiritual sea is the church, La 2: 13).

10

IN EARLY HISTORY OF ISRAEL, SHADOWS OF THINGS TO COME WERE SHOWN TO MOSES, BUT THE REALITY IN JESUS CHRIST HAD TO COME WHEN JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF WORKS A SECOND TIME—

FIRST TIME ISRAEL LIVED IN SIN, THEY HAD TO CLEANSE THEM EVERY YEAR! Those high priests could not take away sin!

(more on this subject in these writings).

Heb 9:28  so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

Heb 7:26  For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;-- 27  Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this He did once, when He offered up Himself.

(HE OFFERED HIMSELF ON THE CROSS!)

28  For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

HEB 8: 1 - Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

2  A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

THIS SECOND TIME HE CAME IN CLOUDS AS WE HAD SHOWN IN OUR WRITINGS , Ez 30; 3, HEB 8: 1, Zec 12: 8-10

HIS WAY IS IN THE SANCTUARY –Ps. 77: 13—a HIGH PRIEST HAS HIS WAY IN THE SANCTUARY!

11

The spiritual ISRAEL could never understand how JESUS CHRIST has to be worshipped, they are doing their own things, like building physical temples, and doing physical works to exalt themselves!

They honour men, (eg.,H.W.Armstrong), whom NO ISRAEL FATHERS knew, Jer 44:3, Jer 11:12, Jer 7:9, ISRAEL EVEN BUILT TEMPLE IN THE NAME OF A MAN!

ISRAEL do not know HOW TO HONOUR JESUS CHRIST, THEIR REDEEMER, Isa 43:14, Isa 44:6, Isa 47:4, Isa 41:14.

Therefore He had prepared some gentiles to make His ways to be understood, SO THAT THEY WILL DECLARE THOSE THINGS TO ISRAEL! These gentiles were sanctified to serve Him in a house of prayer, Isa 56: 4-7.

HE BECAME THE HIGH PRIEST RULING GENTILES OF Ez 30: 3, RE 11: 2, EPH 2: 4-10, Isa 56: 4-7.

IN EPH 2: 4-10,—gentiles are in heavenly places,(--spiritually their citizenship in heaven, Php 3:20, all things spoken spiritually, 1 Co 2: 13),  -saved by grace even when we were in sin, quickened, raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:- saved through faith, it is the gift of God:- 9  Not of works, lest any man should boast.

10  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

SO TO SERVE HIM WHEN HE CAME IN CLOUDS, we were created for good works –to WALK IN THEM!

Gentiles serve as people of heaven, Re 19: 1-2

WHEN GENTILES WERE BRON FIRST, Isa 14:30, of the spiritual Adam, JESUS CHRIST, 1Co 15:45-46, 47  The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven.

48  As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly.

49  And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.

THEREFORE, when the gentiles were born spiritually, they are in spiritual heaven. It is a kingdom of grace.

12

Heb 12:28  Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.

THEREFORE IN HIS KINGDOM A SPECIAL FEATURE IS THE GRACE!

A KINGDOM OF GRACE!

Those who are there receive GRACE!

They should not DISHONOUR the GRACE they receive!

IF YOU DISHONOUR THE SPIRIT OF GRACE, there is A PUNISHMENT, HEB 10: 28-30—“A SORER(worse) PUNISHMENT”!

THESE ARE ALL LESSONS TO ISRAEL who has to receive all knowledge THROUGH GRACE when they believe JESUS CHRIST, AND TO GENTILES who have already receievd all knowledge THROUGH GRACE.---WE SHOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER that the LORD came for His short work, Rom 9: 28, to purify the Levi, Mal 3: 3, and that LORD’s day He came in spiritual clouds with gentiles, Ez 30: 3.

SO THE MINISTRY WOULD BE FIRST PURIFIED TO MAKE THE EVERLASING COVENANT, Isa 59: 21, IN THE NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH, Isa 66: 22-23.

Isa 66: 22-23-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.

FROM ONE NEW MOON TO ANOTHER, AND FROM ONE Sabbath TO ANOTHER, THE LORD WILL BE WORSHIPPED, JUST AS NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH WILL REMAIN BEFORE HIM!

GENTILES WHO FIRST TRUSTED, Isa 14: 30, IN JESUS CHRIST ARE SEALED WITH HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE--

EPH 1: 12  That we should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ.

13  In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

ONE SHOULD SEE HOW GENTILES SPEAK OF HIS GLORY, through the WORD OF GOD, which is spirit, Jn 6: 63!

13

WHEN THE LORD GAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT, the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us, ROM 5: 5. –THEREFORE HE HAD POURED HIS LOVE ON US GENTILES—

Then, we gentiles are made to fulfill the righteous requirement of the law, -Ro 8:4  that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.-- Jas 2:8  If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well;

WHEN WE ARE GIVEN THE HOLY SPIRIT, WE ARE GIVEN HIS AGAPE LOVE, Rom 5: 5, TO WORK WITH, AND BY HUMBLING OURSELVES, WE LEARN TO LOVE BRETHREN!

WE DO WELL, IF WE LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR!

WE WALK ACCORDING TO SPIRIT, THAT MEANS WE ARE EXPECTED TO PRODUCE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT!

Read—

“righteous requirement of law fulfills, Rom 8: 4”-,

“discerning spiritual fruits from lusts of the flesh”—

“LORD prunes fruit bearing trees”—

HOW TO WALK IN THE SPIRIT, GAL 5: 25

“GOSPEL OF GRACE LEADS TO PRODUCE FRUITS OF KNOWLEDGE of JESUS CHRIST  2 PET 1.8”—

When ROM 5: 5 SAYS HE POURED HIS LOVE—

IT SHOWS THAT HE HAD GIVEN THE HELPER TO DO HIS COMMANDMENTS OF LOVING NEIGHBOR, Jas 2: 8!

THEN WE SHOULD HONOUR THE GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST BY KEEPING  HIS LOVING COMMANDMENTS!

Blood—cross—sufferings on the cross—death—resurrection—life after resurrection, reconciliation, salvation etc., all concern THE LORD’S DEATH AND SACRIFICE FOR HIS PEOPLE through His GRACE AND MERCY!

ISRAEL WOULD BE SAVED, IN THE SAME MANNER as gentiles, --AND THAT WAY HAS TO BE LEARNT BY ISRAEL-Isa 60: 3.

14

EARLIER GENTILES HAD NO HOPE--

Eph 2: 12  That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

13  But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

SO BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST GENTILES WERE CREATED TO SERVE HIM TO BRING ISRAEL AND GENTILES AS ONE PEOPLE—Ez 47: 22

BLOOD SHED ON THE CROSS GAVE GENTILES HOPE OF THE PROMISE!

THEN, HIS CROSS WAS EFFECTIVE TO SAVE US!

Gentiles had put on JESUS CHRIST, gal 3: 27, then we become seed of Abraham, Gal 3: 29, whoever you are, vs. 28.

Then we are entitled for the promise to Abraham, gal 3: 18.

Law is not against the promises of God, Gal 3: 21, WE ARE TO FULFILL THE LAW OF CHRIST, GAL 6: 2 (Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ), WE ARE TO SOW TO THE SPIRIT, GAL 6: 8, righteous requirement of law fulfilled by LOVE, GAL 5: 14,15(law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another),

LAW FULFLLED BY LOVE –AND NOT BY LAW, GAL 3: 21,

BUT BY FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST, GAL 5: 5,6, IF YOU DO NOT OBEY, LEAVEN ENTERS, GAL 5: 7-9,

And little leaven leavens the whole lump, 1Co 5:6 , Ga 5:9.

When you BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED, ALL ARE UNDER SIN, GAL 3: 22, BUT ARE FORGIVEN, and are redeemed through cross, GAL 4: 4, 5, and if the sinners cleanse themselves to be useful they would serve JESUS CHRIST, 2Ti 2:21, Mal 3: 18.

WHEN YOU WALK IN SPIRIT, YOU DO NOT FUFLILL THE LUSTS OF THE FLESH, GAL 5: 19-21, meaning you would be OBEDIENT TO THE LAWS OF LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST fulfilling Gal 5: 22-23.

You would know to love JESUS CHRIST and brethren, and NOT TO KEEP SINNING.

THE LOVING LAWS OF JESUS CHRIST ARE TO BE FULFILLED BY US, AND ALL THOSE WHO EMBRACE JESUS CHRIST!

15

WE GENTILES COULD SERVE HIM BECAUSE OF THE CROSS!

If we were not forgiven, we cannot serve Him!—we were frogiven by our faith in Him.SO SHOULD THE ISRAEL COME TO HIM, HAVING FAITH IN HIM!

HIS BLOOD ON THE CROSS MADE US CLOSER TO JESUS CHRIST, AND TO THE PROMISE OF COVENANT!

WHEN all our sins WERE FORGIVEN, WE WERE MADE RIGHTEOUS TO SERVE HIM—then we should continue to be servants of Righteousness and NOT SERVANTS OF SIN- Ro 6:6  knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. Ro 6:16--22 

Old man crucified, for body of sin to be destroyed—

Gal 5: 24- they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

Ro 6: 22: But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.

When our sins are done away by the CROSS, our FRUIT SHOULD BE LEADING TO HOLINESS!

That is how we become HOLY –WHEN WE ARE OBEDIENT TO HAVE OUR FRUIT TO HOLINESS, we fulfill 1 Pe 1:15-16—

1Pe 1:15  but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,--16  because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."

THEN WE BECOME HOLY TO SERVE HIM, THROUGH THE CROSS!

GENTILES WERE MADE RIGHTEOUS TO SERVE HIM, TO GIVE KNOWLEDGE TO SPIRITUAL ISRAEL, but we are to be obedient to maintain good works, Tit 3:8, 14.

Gentiles who have faith in Him HAVE TO GIVE LIGHT OF JESUS CHRIST TO BRING ISRAEL (who could not be justified by their faith in the law), TO CHRIST-

Isa 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, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because He hath glorified thee. –

(silver from Tarshish, Jer 10:9 is word of God which they send, Ps. 12: 6),

16

-  EPH 2: 14 -  For He is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;-15  Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;(these would be further explained in these writings).

16  And that He might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

law which was enmity to ISRAEL, was abolished as they could not be justified by law contained in ordinances, ISRAEL never could settle down in their own land because they did not have peace, even in history they had wars always!—THEY COULD NEVER BE JUSTIFIED BY LAWS.

In spiritual ISRAEL too, they are NOT UNITED!

IT SHOWS FROM THEIR VARIOUS DIVIDED CHURCHES, PCG, WCG, LCG, UCG, ETC. –IT IS SPIRITUAL FIGHTING!

And THEY DO NOT HAVE PEACE WITH JESUS CHRIST EITHER!

They do not even honour JESUS CHRIST! But they honour men in church!

ISRAEL land is known as church in new testament times, Mt 16:18-on this rock I will build My church,

So now the LORD IS PLANNING to GIVE THEIR INHERITANCE, TO SETTLE DOWN THEM IN THEIR OWN LAND, PEACEFULLY, (after He made His Judgments) SPIRITUALLY in NEW Jerusalem AS Ez 48: 35, RE 21: 2,22 RECORDS,

HE CREATED THE GENTILES TO SERVE HIM, and as vs. 16 says—eph 2: 16  - He might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

The messages of JESUS CHRIST through gentiles gives the light of JESUS CHRIST to spiritual ISRAEL!---  Isa 60: 3, Eze. 30: 3,9,

Gentiles and ISRAEL too would be made one body, Ez 47: 22, Ga 3:28, Col 3:11, Ga 4:7.

Ga 3:28  -Jew -- Greek, slave -- free, male -- female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Col 3:11  Greek -- Jew, circumcised --uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave -- free, but Christ is all and in all.

SLAIN THE ENEMITY TO MAKE ONE BODY, THROUGH THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST! HE BORE SINS OF ISRAEL AND GENTILES, Jews OR GREEK, slaves or free.

But WE ALL SHOULD LIVE UNTO Righteousness-

1Pe 2:24  Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Read—“ JESUS CHRIST CHANGES FILTHY RAGS INTO RIGHTEOUS CLOTHES”

17

Joh 1:14  And the Word was made flesh, -- full of grace -

HE IS FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH!

ALTHOUGH HE WAS MADE FLESH, GOD IS SPIRIT-

Joh 4:24  God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

LUK 1: 31  - 33  And He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of His kingdom there shall be no end.

When He came the first time, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH, His people never understood Him, instead He was humiliated and crucified on the cross!

DO WE THINK HE DID NOT KNOW THAT HE WOULD BE CRUCIFIED?

No, IT WAS HIS PLAN OF SALVATION- Mt 26:42, Joh 12:27-Now is My soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

JESUS CHRIST knew that HE CAME TO DIE TO SAVE HIS PEOPLE!

HE WAS MADE FLESH BECAUSE OF HIS PLAN OF SALVATION!

HE HAD TO MAKE THE SACRIFICE FOR SIN, HE PREACHED OF HIS KINGDOM,

-Lu 16:16  The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.-- Mt 4:23  And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom,

Mt 9:35  And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom,

He had to make His people KNOW OF HIS WAYS TO DWELL WITH HIM! The LAND OF JESUS CHRIST, NEW JERUSALEM, the bride should KNOW the ways OF HER HUSBAND! She will prepare as prophesied-Isa 62: 4,5, Re 21:2, Re 19: 7, the LORD will redeem her, Re 14: 3,4.

18

SO NOW WHEN THE LORD HAD COME A SECOND TIME, AS THE HIGH PRIEST, HEB 8: 1, HIS SERVANTS ARE PREACHING THINGS OF HIS KINGDOM, RE 11: 2-4, Zec 12: 8-10, 

EVERY MAN OF JESUS CHRIST, SHOULD PRESS INTO IT, Lu 16: 16!

2Ti 2:19 -- The Lord knoweth them that are His. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

EVERY MAN OF JESUS CHRIST SHOULD DEPART FROM INIQUITY TO BE A FOLLOWER OF JESUS CHRIST!

EVERY MAN PRESSETH INTO KINGDOM OF JESUS CHRIST Lu 16:16

Ro 11:36  For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

Col 1:16  For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible,

Heb 2:8  Thou hast put all things in subjection under His feet

Heb 2:10  For it became Him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Heb 2:17  Wherefore in all things it behoved Him to be made like unto His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

HE IS THE CAPTAIN, THE HEAD OF CHURCH, WHO BRINGS ABOUT SALVATION TO HIS PEOPLE AS WAS PROPHESIED OF HIM AT HIS BIRTH, HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS PERFECT THROUGH SUFFERINGS, AS THE CAPTAIN HE SUFFERED, and similarly all who follow JESUS CHRIST have to suffer,2Ti 3:12, Mt 5:10, Mt 5:11, Mt 5:12,

Mt 10:22  And ye shall be hated of all men for My name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Mt 10:24  The disciple is not above his Master, nor the servant above his LORD.—THEN DO NOT HONOUR MEN AS LEADER OF PEOPLE, THE HEAD IS THE LORD, JESUS CHRIST!

Mt 10:25  It is enough for the disciple that he be as his Master, and the servant as his LORD.

IT IS ENOUGH YOU BECOME HOLY AND PERFECT AS HE IS, BUT NONE IS ABOVE HIS MASTER! We are NOT GODS, BUT MEN WHO SERVE JESUS CHRIST! - Re 21:3  -- "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.

Mt 10:25  ----If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

IT IS NO WONDER If they call you DEVIL—SATAN –FOOL or such things when you follow JESUS CHRIST! 

19

SO IT IS PROPHESIED THAT ALL HIS FOLLOWERS HAVE TO SUFFER. HE TOO SUFFERED ALTHOUGH HE WAS SINLESS, 1Jo 3:5-

-he was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin.

HE SUFFERED IN MANY WAYS.

All who follow JESUS CHRIST are to be persecuted as JESUS CHRIST’s spoken word says.

AND HIS TRUE FOLLOWERS HAVE TO ENDURE UNTO THE END!

So the followers of JESUS CHRIST are to have many trials, they have to look to the CROSS of Jesus, their Master,---HE SUFFERED, then we also have to suffer many things when all people hate you!

BUT WE HAVE TO ENDURE!

-2Ti 1:8  Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

A BRIEF SUMMARY OF CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS CHRIST -

Mt 26:38  Then saith He unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with Me.

Joh 12:27-  Now is My soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

Mr 15:15-- when he had scourged Him, to be crucified-

Mt 27:35  And they crucified Him,

Mr 15:32- they that were crucified with Him reviled Him.

1Pe 2:21  - Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps:--:22  Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

--23  Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously:

Lu 22:64  And when they had blindfolded Him, they struck Him on the face, and asked Him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?

20

Isa 53:7  He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth: He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He openeth not His mouth.

HE WAS MOCKED--Mt 27:40  - If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

Mt 27:42  He saved others; himself he cannot save. If He be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

Mr 15:31  Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; Himself He cannot save.

Mr 15:32  Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with Him reviled Him.

Lu 22:65  And many other things blasphemously spake they against Him.

Lu 23:34  Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. Lu 23:37  And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

Joh 19:10  Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?--11  Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above:IT WAS THE PLAN OF GOD TO DIE ON THE CROSS!

Mr 16:6   - Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: He is risen;

ACTS 2; 31--spake of the resurrection of Christ, that His soul was not left in hell, neither His flesh did see corruption.

-         Php 3:10  that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

-         Ro 1:4  and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.

-         Ac 4:33  And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.

-          

21

PAUL PREACHED JESUS CHRIST, HIM CRUCIFIED-

1Co 2:2  For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

1Co 1:23  But we preach Christ crucified,

2Co 1:19  For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us,

PAUL SENT TO PREACH THE GOSPEL THROUGH THE CROSS OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST –

1Co 1:13  Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

PAUL BAPTISED ONLY A FEW (1CO 1: 14-16) BUT HE PREACHED THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST-

1 Co 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.

18  For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

19  For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

THE CROSS IS THE POWER OF GOD TO US WHO ARE SAVED.

Ro 6:6  Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

ISRAEL SHOULD CRUCIFY THEIR SINS--

Isa 59:13  In transgressing and lying against the LORD, And departing from our God, Speaking oppression and revolt, Conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

Jer 3:25  We lie down in our shame, And our reproach covers us. For we have sinned against the LORD our God, We and our fathers, From our youth even to this day, And have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God."

ISRAEL ARE SINNING AGAINST JESUS CHRIST- THEY SHOULD TURN TO HIM THROUGH ACKNOWLEDGING THEIR SINS-

Jer 3:13  Only acknowledge your iniquity, That you have transgressed against the LORD your God—

22

Isa 40:25  "To whom then will you liken Me, Or to whom shall I be equal?" says the Holy One.

Isa 46:5  "To whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal And compare Me, that we should be alike?

WE SHOULD BE HUMBLE (just imagine how the brethren honor the leaders, THEN WHERE IS THE HONOR –PRAISES—THANKS GIVEN TO JESUS CHRIST?)—

Mic 6:8  He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?

WHEN WE PREACH CHRIST CRUCIFIED, NO FLESH SHOULD GLORY-

JESUS CHRIST ALONE IS WISE--

1 Co 1: 23  But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

24  But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

(WHICH MAN HAS THE WISDOM OF JESUS CHRIST OR THE POWER OF HIM?—HOW COULD ISRAEL COMPARE WITH HIM?)

25  Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

26  For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

27  But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; (JESUS CHRIST chose the poor gentile women to CONFOUND THE LEADERS OF SPIRITUAL ISRAEL!)

28  And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: (Eph 2:12 -- gentiles without Christ, aliens from Israel , strangers from the covenants, who had no hope in the world, WERE CHOSEN TO BRING TO NOUGHT THE THINGS OF SPIRITUAL ISRAEL!)

29  That no flesh should glory in His presence.

THIS IS THE POWER OF JESUS CHRIST CRUCIFIED!

23

DEATH HAS NO POWER ON JESUS CHRIST-HE DIES NO MORE—

WE DIED WITH HIM AND WE LIVE WITH HIM--

THEN YOU WOULD BE SERVANTS OF HIM—

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.

GENTILES THUS SERVE HIM NOW, ROM 9: 28, Ez 30: 3, Isa 14: 30, Zec 12: 8-10.

Ro 6: 6  knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him,

7  For he who has died has been freed from sin.

8  Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,(gentiles thus are resurrected first, Isa 14: 30).

9  knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.THEN IF WE SIN AGAIN, WE ARE TRYING TO PIERCE HIM AGAIN, BUT HE CANNOT DIE, THEREFORE---NO MORE OFFERING FOR SIN, HEB 10: 26

10  For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.

11  Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

12  Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

13  And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

24

WE ARE TO CRUCIFY OUR LUSTS, --IF WE SIN, WE ARE TO BRING IT TO THE CROSS.

THIS HAS TO BE DONE DAILY—

Lu 9:23  Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

GAL 3: 1-3 SHOWS THAT ONE HAS TO OBEY THE TRUTH WHEN WE BELIEVE HIM CRUCIFIED FOR OUR SAKES-

GAL 3: 1 - O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

2  This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

3  Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

WE SHOULD NOT GO BACK TO OBEY THE LUSTS OF FLESH, AFTER WE BEGAN WITH THE SPIRIT! We should continue with spirit, producing fruits of the spirit!—if you go back to the world, to enjoy the pleasures of the world, even in excess eating-drinking—playing

YOU COULD BECOME IDOLATORS, 1Co 10:7, just as the ISRAEL of history, 1 Co 10: 1-5, AND THAT IS WRITTEN FOR THE EXAMPLE OF US AT END TIME, VS. 6, 11.

25

IF YOU DO SO,

2Pe 2: 21  For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.

22  But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: "A dog returns to his own vomit," and, "a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire."

THE HOLY COMMANDMENT OF LOVE HAS TO BE HONOURED—

REMEMBER TO MAKE IT EASY THE LORD POURED HIS LOVE, ROM 5: 5.

Ro 13:9  For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

Ga 5:13 -  For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

Jas 2:8 -  If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

Jas 2:9  But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

Jas 2:10  For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

-- Isa 42:21- he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.

Mt 5:17  Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

SO THE FULFILLED LAW HAD BEEN FULFILLED WITH LOVE!

FOR THIS PURPOSE THE LORD POURED HIS LOVE WHEN HE GAVE HIS SPIRIT—

Ro 5:5  Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

26

1 Co 2;2-we should KNOW JESUS CHRIST AS CRUCIFED

-- JESUS CHRIST, and Him crucified

Ga 6:14  But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,

WE SHOULD BOAST IN THE CROSS ONLY!

(Fruits of the spirit could be produced if you cruicfy lusts of the flesh, Gal 5: 24)

IF WE CRUCIFY LUSTS AND PRODUCE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT, then, WE COULD SAY WE ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT!

Why should we know and BOAST in the cross—

We should crucify our lusts of flesh in the cross, gal 5: 24, THEREFORE ONLY THE CROSS OF JESUS, THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION, THE POWER OF HIS HOLY SPIRIT, THE HELPER JESUS CHRIST SENT TO US AFTER RESURRECTION COULD BE EXRECISED BY US TO OVERCOME SIN.

GENTILES WERE GIVEN THE HOLY SPIRIT AS THEY ARE THE FIRST FRUITS TO OVERCOME SIN. And now, ISRAEL IS ALSO GIVEN HIS SPIRIT THROUGH THE WORK OF JESUS CHRIST LEADING THE GENTILES TO SEND THE SPIRITUAL WATER TO ISRAEL!

They are being baptised (baptism of JESUS CHRIST would be seperately discussed).

PAUL BEARING THE CROSS DAILY-

1Co 15:31  I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

Lu 14:27  And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after Me, cannot be My disciple.

Lu 9:23  Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

SO PAUL WAS OBEDIENT TO LUKE 9: 23—HE WAS LED BY THE SPIRIT OF LU 9: 23. and 14: 27. for words are spirit, Jn 6: 63.

This is why Paul preached the cross of JESUS CHRIST, if we do not bear our cross, WE CANNOT BECOME HIS DISCIPLES!—AND WE OUGHT TO DO IT DAILY—daily we are to get rid of our sinful thoughts, deeds, AND EXERCISE to CHOOSE GOOD FROM EVIL, HEB 5: 14.

BECOMING HOLY IS THEN A PROCESS!

Heb 5:14  But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

The Lords doctrine is according to godliness 1 Tim 6.3

27

Paul said---1Co 6:12  All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

1 Cor 6.12 Paul was lawful, therefore he was not under the law, Gal 5.18 because Paul walked according to SPIRIT, Rom 8.4, PAUL WAS NOT CONDEMENED WHEN WALKING IN SPIRIT, AS EVERYTHING WAS LAWFUL TO HIM, 1 Cor 6.12.

IN Rom 7.14-24- we see that Paul struggled with the law. In vs. 7-- he learnt sins thru the laws.

In Rom 8.1-2 –THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST MADE PAUL FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH. This happened when he learnt to walk according to the spirit and THEN, such would not be condemned---vs. 3-4--- WE SEE JESUS CHRIST CONDEMNED SIN IN THE FLESH AND THEREFORE WHEN THE LORD COULD NOT JUSTIFY THE BELIEVERS, HE JUSTIFIED THEM THRU HIS GRACE, TAKING THEIR SINS UPON HIM ON THE CROSS.

2Ti 4:7  I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

Purpose of the law IS TO KNOW HOW ONE COULD SIN, Gal 3.19, BUT LIFE CANNOT BE GIVEN THROUGH LAW VS. 21. 

Therefore just as Paul, WE OUGHT TO BE LAWFUL-1 Jn 2.7,8

Vs. 8 says”JESUS CHRIST’s  light is shining”.

28

When He came the first time as a SON OF GOD, He was a child who became a man of stature, Lu 2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man; and we are expected to be so, Eph 4:13  till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

Ga 4:19- until Christ be formed in you,

Christ forming in us takes a little time as one has to exercise choosing to do Gal 5: 22-23, Heb 5: 14, (works of obedience to Christ) and not do Gal 5: 19-21(works of disobedience, Eph 2: 2), and these works have to be done by denying flesh through CROSS, Gal 5: 24, Lu 9: 23.

JESUS CHRIST WAS A MAN OF THE CALIBRE OF 1 KING 2: 2-3.

HE FULFILLED THE WORK OF GOD, WHILE DOING GOOD FOR MEN, AS THE WRITTEN WORD SAYS. That means He worked according to the SPIRIT that quickeneth, John 6: 63.

29

THE PROMISE OF JESUS CHRIST TO REVIVE THE THRONE OF David THAT WORSHIPPED GOD ACCORDNING TO HIS PLEASURE WAS FULFILLED BY JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF—HE REDEEMED THEM through THE CROSS!

The LORD to revive  David’s covenant, Ac 15:16  After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:----promised to multiply the seed of David His servant, and the Levites that minister unto Him, Jer 33: 20-22, Ps 132:11,12, 17; Isa 55:3, Lu 1:69, Isa 9:7, Lu 1:32, 33;

WHY DAVID?

Ac 13:22- I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.’

DAVID KNEW THE WAYS OF SANCTUARY –HOW THE LORD HAS TO BE PRAISED, THANKED, WORSHIPPED, GLORIFIED—–you could observe from psalms!

THE LORD REQUIRES SUCH WORSHIP FROM HIS SERVANTS—AND THE SERVANTS SHOULD SERVE HIM RIGHTEOUSLY, IN HOLINESS, AND PERFECTNESS JUST AS DAVID DID!

THIS IS WHY EVEN THE GENTILES ARE LIKENED TO BE DAVID IN Zec 12: 8.

WHEN the throne of David FELL, THE MINISTRY FELL! THE PROPHET AND HIS MINISTRY FELL FROM SPIRITUAL STANDARDS!

The LORD is performing Acts 15: 16—HE IS SETTING THE MINISTERS, IT IS ALSO MAL 3: 3.

Isa 16:5  And in mercy shall the throne be established: and He shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.

Zec 12:8  In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.(THE FEEBLE WHO WORK ONE AS A THOUSAND, Isa 60: 22, THE GENTILES WERE AS DAVID and THE LORD LEADS THEM IN HOUSE OF DAVID. HE LEADS AS HIGH PRIEST OF MELCHISEDEC ORDER, HEB 8: 1)

Zec 12:10  And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon Me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him,

Zec 8: 19 FASTS WOULD BE PERFORMED AS SPIRITUAL ISRAEL HAD NOT FASTED FOR THE CAUSE OF GOD when the LORD gave them seventy years to prove themselves, Zec 7:5

30

Zec 13:1  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.

To revive david’s throne as in Acts 15: 16, it had to be purified.

Hab 3:2  O LORD, I have heard your speech and was afraid; O LORD, revive Your work in the midst of the years! In the midst of the years make it known; In wrath remember mercy-

The prophet had to understand that the LORD is wrath!

When they were Laodicean they think IT IS FOR OTHERS AND CONSOLES THEMSELVES!

Jer 7:4  "Do not trust in these lying words, saying, ‘The temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD are these.’

Zec 6:12  "Then speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, saying: "Behold, the Man whose name is the BRANCH! From His place He shall branch out, And He shall build the temple of the LORD;

Zec 6:13  Yes, He shall build the temple of the LORD. He shall bear the glory, And shall sit and rule on His throne; So He shall be a priest on His throne,

SO HE BECAME THE PRIEST OF MELCHISEDEC ORDER!

(JESUS CHRIST PROVIDED A SPIRITUAL RIVER OF Revelations TO CLEANSE THE PEOPLE WHO SERVED IN THRONE OF DAVID)

TO ENABLE THE MINISTRY TO BE REVIVED, THE LORD SACRFICED HIMSELF ON THE CROSS, and POURED HIS SPIRIT, TO REDEEM ISRAEL IN ORDER TO SET UP THE THRONE OF HOUSE OF ISRAEL, LED BY David, Ho 3:5  Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and His goodness in the latter days. Eze 34:23  And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

Eze 34:24  And I the LORD will be their God, and My servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.

31

Finally I must add that it is beyond comprehension to know PERFECTLY ALL THE BENEFITS, THE WONDERS OF THE CROSS OF OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST-

Job 11:7 -  Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?

Job 37:23  Touching the Almighty, we cannot find Him out: He is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice:

Ps 104:24  O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

Ro 11:33 - O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!

De 32:4  He is the Rock, His work is perfect: for all His ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He.

LET ISRAEL GLORIFY JESUS CHRIST FOR THE MARVELLOUS WAYS HE HAD DONE TO GIVE SALVATION TO THEM, TO MAKE THEM HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS TO SERVE HIM, SO THAT HE WOULD DWELL WITH THEM, MAKING THE NEW COVENANT WITH THEM AND GIVING  THEIR INHERITANCE THROUGH HIS MERCY!

To do such great things HE GRAFTED A GENTILE BRANCH, and MAY ALL GLORY BE TO OUR LORD, JESUS CHRIST!

ALL ISRAEL SHOULD GLORIFY AND THANK THEIR REDEEMER AND GOD, JESUS CHRIST!

HE DOES A WONDERFUL SHORT WORK, ROM 9: 28

HAB 1: 5 - Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.(notice, you would not believe that work—the prophet’s work was believed by his people, but gentile work is not being believed!)

11  Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.(the prophet, Ez 2: 5, 33: 33, had a mind change and he made H.W.Armstrong his god, by procaliming that people could be saved through H.W.Armstrong! and he kept on praising H.W.Armstrong and his work even when the things he wrote are not taking place!)

12 - Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.

The potter of ISRAEL made the prophet to show HIS JUDGEMENT ON WICKED LEADERS—ANY LEADER WHO EXALTS ANYONE OTHER THAN GOD, IS WICKED TOWARDS GOD! And then the he does wickedly to the people too!—THE LORD ESTABLISHED THIS PROPHET (Ez 2: 5, 33: 33) FOR CORRECTION!—

32

THE LORD DID A MARVELLOUS Judgment ON SPIRITUAL ISRAEL AND PROVED HIMSELF, THAT HE IS A GOD WHO HATES INIQUITY, A HOLY AND A RIGHTEOUS GOD, WHO REQUIRE A PURE MINISTRY TO SERVE HIM!

HAB 1: 13  Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously,

The LORD who is very pure and cannot look on iniquity AND TO JUDGE THE PROPHET HE CREATED the prophet as a wicked shepherd, TO SHOW THAT WICKEDNESS IS NOT ACCEPTED BY GOD IN HIS LAND!

-Zec 11:4  Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;- 15 - And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.

16  For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.

17  Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

So this is what happened to the leader of God’s church where He placed a prophet—JUST AS THE VSS SAID,

The prophet disfellowships—does not visit them, do not care for new comers, but gives them foul knowledge of H.W.Armstrong instead of giving knowledge of JESUS CHRIST, do not feed with true knowledge, but gives tears to the true people of God,

So the LORD’s counsel was to SEND SWORD AGAINST HIS WORK, against work of the prophet’s hands and against what the prophet sees! –he will not be able to perform a right work of God,  arm will be dried up, he cannot see, his right eye UTTERLY DARKENED!—utterly Laodicean!

33

But He saves all ISRAEL,Rom 11: 26, Eze 39:28-Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.

That is the power of the LORD to have completed the Judgment on the prophet getting him to do against God in the land of God, the prophet was doing EXACTLY WHAT THE LORD WANTED TO PROVE AGAINST the prophet!

The prophet built a physical temple giving all the glory to H.W.Armstrong! the engraved LETTERS in the new building SHOWS HOW the prophet GAVE THE SECOND PLACE TO ALMIGHTY GOD!

THE WHOLE WORLD COULD SEE THAT!

Hab 2:12  "Woe to him who builds a town with bloodshed, Who establishes a city by iniquity!

Isa 45:7  I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

2Co 1:21  Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God,

SO IT IS GOD WHO ESTABLISHES—IT IS JESUS CHRIST WHO DID THE WORK OF ESTABLISHING—THEREFORE SPIRITUAL ISRAEL SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT THE LORD IS ONE—GOD AND JESUS CHRIST ARE ONE---THE ONE TRUE GOD IS JESUS CHRIST!

Zec 9:16  And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of His people:

Zec 10:6  And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.

34

THE STORY OF SPIRITUAL ISRAEL ENDS BEAUTIFULLY TO START A NEW ERA WITH JESUS CHRIST with a NEW COVENANT!

THE START IS IN NEW JERUSALEM AS RE 21—21 CHAPTERS DISCUSS.

Isa 9:7  Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, -

Isa 26:12  LORD, You will establish peace for us, For You have also done all our works in us.

Jer 11:5  "that I may establish the oath which I have sworn to your fathers, --

Jer 33:2  "Thus says the LORD who made it, the LORD who formed it to establish it (the LORD is His name):

Eze 16:60  "Nevertheless I will remember My covenant -

Eze 16:62  "And I will establish My covenant with you. Then you shall know that I am the LORD,

Eze 37:26  "Moreover I will make a covenant of peace -- an everlasting covenant with them; I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore.

Am 5:15  Hate evil, love good; Establish justice in the gate.

Isa 2:2  Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD’S house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, -- And all nations shall flow to it.

Isa 16:5  In mercy the throne will be established;

Isa 42:4  He will not fail nor be discouraged, Till He has established justice in the earth; And the coastlands shall wait for His law."

Isa 60:9  Surely the coastlands shall wait for Me; And the ships of Tarshish will come first,---THEY BECAME THE FIRST, Isa 14: 30

Isa 45:18  For thus says the LORD, Who created the heavens, Who is God, Who formed the earth and made it, Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain, Who formed it to be inhabited: "I am the LORD, and there is no other.—EVEN THOUGH THE PROPHET AND MINISTRY RUINED THE LAND OF GOD, THE SPIRITUAL EARTH, THE LORD CORRECTS THE LEADERS HE MADE, TO ESTABLISH THEM ONCE AGAIN!

Jer 18: 6  O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter?

Eze 12:6-I have made you a sign to the house of Israel."

Eze 12:11  Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall remove and go into captivity.

SO THESE THINGS HAPPENED TO THE LEADER OF PCG!

(PCG leader claimed he is the prophet, the “son of man” in Ezekiel!

Isa 54:14  In righteousness you shall be established;

Mal 3: 18 would happen.

Zec 14:20  In that day "HOLINESS TO THE LORD" shall be engraved on the bells of the horses. The pots in the LORD’S house shall be like the bowls before the altar.

THE HORSES OF Pharaoh WOULD BE TRANSFORMED INTO HORSES WHO HAVE “HOLINESS”!

Jer 51:15  He has made the earth by His power; He has established the world by His wisdom, And stretched out the heaven by His understanding.

35

THOSE WERE THE COUNSELS OF JESUS CHRIST, THE CREATOR OF ISRAEL!

Ro 11:34  For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?

Ps 33:11  The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever,

Ps 73:24  Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel,

Pr 8:14  Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

Pr 11:14  Where no counsel is, the people fall:

Pr 19:20  Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

Pr 20:18  Every purpose is established by counsel:

Pr 21:30  There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.

Ho 6:3  Let us know, Let us pursue the knowledge of the LORD. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, Like the latter and former rain to the earth.

And the gentiles were admonished-

Isa 62:7  And give Him no rest till He establishes And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

Isa 11: 1 - And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

2  And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might,

5  And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

10 -  And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and His rest shall be glorious.(gentiles seeking to JESUS CHRIST!), Lu 2:32  A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.)—AND THEN A SECOND TIME THE LORD WILL DELIVER ISRAEL FROM Egypt—THIS TIME IT IS SPIRITUAL --1Co 2:13

11  And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant of His people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt,

36

PROPHET REQUIRED TO WAIL FOR THE ISRAEL WHO APPEAR AS Egypt-

Eze 32:18  Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down,

The LORD created a Pharaoh, Rom 9: 17 (for His short work, Rom 9: 28), as this spiritual Pharaoh led ISRAEL in sin, which is as Egypt, Isa 30:2  That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at My mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh,-- Isa 31:1  Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help;-- but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!

Isa 52: 2---O captive daughter of Zion. 3--Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.

Redeemed without money—THEY ARE REDEEMED FROM Egypt (sin), WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST that HE SHED ON THE CROSS!

Isa 52; 4  For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.

WHEN THE Assyrian OPPRESSED, the LORD said,—

Isa 14: 25  That I will break the Assyrian in My land, and upon My mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.

26  This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

27  For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

THE BURDEN OF TREADING WAS GIVEN TO GENTILES, RE 11: 2-4, AND THE MIGHTY COUNSELLOR, JESUS CHRIST HAD PURPOSED IT!

His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

37

CAN ANYONE FIGHT WITH JESUS CHRIST?

Isa 42:13  The LORD shall go forth like a mighty man; He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war. He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud; He shall prevail against His enemies.

AND THE LORD WILL DO AGAINST THE PROPHET—(the prophet would do a vain work which shows it’s errors!

Jer 49:26, Jer 50:30--  Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, And all the men of war shall be cut off in that day," says the LORD of hosts.

HE IS THE MIGHTY COUNSELLOR!

Pr 21:30  There is no wisdom or understanding Or counsel against the LORD.

HE IS THE MIGHTY GOD, -

Mal 2:10  Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us?—

Mr 12:32-there is one God; and there is none other but he:-

1Ti 2:5  For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Isa 54:5  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.

GOD OF WHOLE EARTH IS THE HUSBAND—spiritual ISRAEL should note the ONE TRUE GOD!

Isa 9:6  For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

THE ROD, AND THE BRANCH—THE ROOT OF JESSE, ---

MT 1: 1 – TOOK OVER THE GOVERNMENT OF GOD-HE SITS ON THE THRONE—HE DOES WONDERFULLY WITH HIS OWN COUNSELS PROVING HE IS THE MIGHTY GOD, EVERLASTING FATHER, THE ONE WHO MAKES THE PEACE COVENANT!

JESUS CHRIST TOOK OVER RULING THE CHURCH, HE WORK AS MEDIATOR, HEB 8: 1, Zec 6:13  - He shall be a priest on His throne,

Laodiceans do not see these things!

38

AS SHOWN HE IS THE WONDERFUL—COUNSELLOR –THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, THE PRINCE OF PEACE!

Peace--

Isa 26:12  LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us:

Isa 32:17  And the work of righteousness shall be peace;

Isa 48:18  O that thou hadst hearkened to My commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:

Isa 48:22  There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.

Isa 52:7  How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

ALL THESE WORKS ARE DONE THROUGH HIS CROSS GIVING THE PEOPLE HIS WONDERFUL COUNSELS!!

-        Isa 53:5  But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.

-        THAT WAS ON HIS CROSS!

-        He bore the punishments for our sins—He had to suffer punishement on our behalf for breaking peace between God and us, and with one another-(God’s people became rebellious against His laws, became wicked against one another, fell away from church, His body!)

-        We are healed of sin with His sufferings on the cross!

Isa 54:10  For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but My kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of My peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.

IT IS SURE!

39

ONLY THE POWER OF JESUS CHRIST COULD DO SUCH WONDERS THROUGH HIS COUNSELS TO BRING PEACE BECAUSE HE IS THE FATHER OF SPIRITS—AND HE DID ALL THESE THINGS THROUGH HIS CROSS!

Heb 12:9  Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?

GOD’S PEOPLE SHOULD UNDERSTAND AND HEED READILY TO BE SUBJECT TO JESUS CHRIST--

Isa 9:6 -- For unto us a child is born, -- His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

JESUS CHRIST, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, THROUGH HIS MIGHTY CROSS AND COUNSEL, PERFORMED A WONDERFUL, MIGHTY WORK TO BRING PEACE AND UNITY AMONG GOD’S CHOSEN ISRAEL!

O LORD JESUS CHRIST, PLEASE MAKE ALL YOUR PEOPLE ISRAEL MARVEL AT YOUR WORK through THE GREAT CROSS YOU BORE FOR THEM, AND FOR ALL OF US; ALL PRAISE BE TO YOU, THE  FATHER OF SPIRITS, OUR SAVIOUR, OUR GOD, FOR EVER AND EVER, Amen.
