BOOK OF ACTS TEACH HOW PAUL TAUGHT GENTILES ON SABBATHS AND HOW MOSES WAS HEARD BY GENTILES ON Sabbaths –

Acts15:20---But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

21 -For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath day.

(More on these written in this article).

Acts 15: 20 said of pollutions of idols---BECAUSE---IDOLS cause people to do against LORD’S judgments –LORD’S statutes---LORD’S Sabbaths—

1Sa 15:23 -For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.---HAVING IDOLS—IDOLATRY IS STUBBORNNESS!!

Eze.20: 24  Because they had not executed My judgments, but had despised My statutes, and had polluted My sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols.

As ISRAEL was told of Eze.20: 24---LORD GAVE BAD STATUTES TO THEM as you see in vs. 25—Eze.20: 25-- Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;

SO DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD’S JUDGMENTS –STATUTES—SABBATHS ---caused ISRAEL to get BAD STATUTES—AND BAD JUDGMENTS WITH WHICH THEY COULD NOT LIVE!

THAT IS WHY THEY WERE SPIRITUALLY KILLED WITH THE SWORD OF THE LORD, which is word of God, Eph. 6: 17.

SO GENTILES OR ISRAEL (all flesh) ARE TO HONOUR GOD’S Sabbaths, judgments, commandments, they are laws, that are given by God, which are things in His covenant, which would be written in hearts, Heb. 10.---when believers have idols, they pollute God’s precious things of the covenant!

WE COULD LEARN FROM WHAT HAPPENED TO PCG (Philadelphia Church of God), they represent ISRAEL of last era, Rom. 9: 4, 6, Eze. 16: 59--63.

ISRAEL (now PCG, as they made the covenant, Eze.16: 8) WERE MADE TO BE DESOLATE, as they broke covenant, Eze.16: 59—(Spiritually they are desolate, but physically they are rich as they became Laodiceans, Rev. 3: 17),

PCG leader is desolated, he does not know JESUS CHRIST---prove from his own words—

LEADER of PCG, Gerald Flurry could not SEE, READ, and BELIEVE that CHRIST, the Lamb opened seals of Revelations to perform them --Rev. 6: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12—and the 7^th seal in 8: 1,Gerald Flurry wrote (on 18/ 5/ 2013—Mt 24 transcript in Key of David) that JESUS CHRIST is “just qualified to open the seals; ----He did not open it there, SO THAT THE MEN WOULD UNDERSTAND”!!!!!!!-Damnable heresies, 2 Pe 2: 1.

Eze. 20; 26--And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD.—

All things of H.W.Armstrong are IDLOS OF PCG! openeth the womb, means THOSE WHO NEWLY COME TO PCG---SO NEWCOMERS TOO ARE DESOLATED!

Eze.20:27--son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed Me, in that they have committed a trespass against Me.--28--they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.

FATHERS ---the previous generations of ISRAEL too polluted Sabbaths—they BLASPHEMED GOD---they THOUGHT THEIR SACRIFICES WERE SWEET---but---THEY WERE IRRITATED GOD!

29--Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day.

COULD READERS SEE----the place where LORD says is BAMAH! –EVEN TODAY!! That is what God prophesied! SO DID IT NOT HAPPEN, Gerald Flurry approved the plan of Bamah matter to bringing in STRAGERS TO ALTAR, planned by Alex Harrison, in SOUTH EAST ASIA (India, Alex Harrison calls it Bamah)??---we gentiles know it, God is hiding from PCG, Eze. 39: 21-23---GOD IS NOT A LIAR!! (Heb 6:18  That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie),

Today PCG is sacrificing to H.W.Armstrong!!!!!!---God is hiding---they had raised H.W.Armstrong!! they make a sweet savour to H.W.Armstrong!!! WE SHOULD ASK---would GOD’S CHURCH BE NAMED BY A MAN’S NAME????? PCG is desolated!!!they are POLLUTED AS FATHERS!!

Eze.20:30--Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye whoredom after their abominations?

31- For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.

GOING AWAY from God is COMMITTING WHOREDOM!! A HARLOT!! –HAVING IDOLS!! –GOD DOES NOT WANT TO SPEAK TO PCG LEADERS!!! (addressed to PCG prophet--  Eze.20:27--son of man) --

BUT GOD HAS POWER TO DO HIS WILL---

Eze.20:32--And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone. (In the world we see people worshipping trees, stones---PCG HAS THE IDOL OF piano of H.W.Armstrong made of wood, prayer rock of H.W.Armstrong, among other things of H.W.Armstrong THEY CHERISH!! ---so PCG had tried to be AS HEATHEN as WORD OF GOD SAYS---BUT----GOD WOULD NOT ALLOW---because HE HAD MADE PROMISES TO FATHERS, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, so LORD scattered them in captivity to bring them after giving KNOWLEDGE OF HIM AND HIS COMMANDMENTS, JUDGMENTS, STATUTES, of the covenant (Jer. 33: 24-26).   

Eze.20: 33-As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:--GOD RULES OVER PCG WITH FURY!

34-And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.THEY ARE IN SPIRITUAL CAPTIVITY---SCATTERED IN COUNTRIES, just as LORD scattered prophet and leaders of PCG, Eze.12: 3-7, 13-15.

35-And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.--

LORD brought them into WILDERNESS, Rev. 12: 14—since LORD IS FAITHFUL TO FATHERS, HE HAS COUNSELLED TO PLEAD WITH THEM, and BLESS THEM WITH THE NEW COVENANT, PCG to mother the rest of called out ISRAEL, Eze. 16: 60-63.

36 -Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.

ISRAEL were taught of covenant in wilderness, soon after coming from Egypt, Ex. 14-15, they were taught of Sabbaths, Ex. 16. Sabbath is A TEST TO SEE WHETHER BELIEVERS OBEY GOD!---In Ex. 20 we see the Ten Commandments given all these happened in wilderness.

Now IN THE WORLD WE HAVE A WILDERNESS OF PEOPLE---SO LORD BROUGHT PCG TO THE WORLD----He scattered them in nations--- 35-And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people---SO PCG DOES AS THE WORLD DOES!!

After a eating the Passover Lamb, ISRAEL came to wilderness. Lamb pictures LORD FORGIVING ISRAEL. So in wilderness they were able to make the covenant, for people agreed to keep all the words of covenant, (Ex. 19: 8--all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.-- 5  Now therefore, if ye will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto Me above all people: for all the earth is Mine:

6 -And ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel).

THAT IS HOW LORD REQUIRES THE NATION WHOM HE CHOSE FROM THE EARTH!

NOW ISRAEL PCG leaders were sent into wilderness, Rev. 12: 14, LORD WENT too to wilderness AS A LAMB, Isa. 16: 1---there He is pleading with ISRAEL, TO MAKE THE NEW COVENANT –He pleads as the Lamb--LAMB TAKES AWAY SINS OF PCG, PROVIDES THE ATONEMENT, THE SACRIFICE TO MAKE THE New Covenant, Eze. 16: 60-63. In Ezekiel temple they would be sanctified and then they are to keep a true Passover, WRITTEN IN Eze. 43: 18—27, 45: 18-25.

Please read them in—

Ezekiel temple Ordinances— Nos.8,124, 226 ---Ordinances to follow— Nos. 85, 139, 268,---Passover at even, at the going down of sun, De 16: 6—No. 357,

in--http://www.restoringcaptivity.com

35-And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people--36 -Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of Egypt---

So THESE PROPHECIES HAD BEEN FULFILLED---

PCG in wilderness, Rev. 12: 14---they were spiritually scattered in Egypt, Jer. 44: 1, 2,  and the pleading is done through gentiles who trust Him, Rom. 15: 12, Isa. 42: 4, 15, who witness the Bamah abomination, Eze.39: 21-23, Lev. 5: 1.

Eze.20:37 -And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant: LORD BROUGHT THE ROD---Gerald Flurry knew about it—

Gerald Flurry wrote—in Isaiah end time vision, page 11—“How does God reason with them?—through the ROD OF MEN”—he quoted Mic 5: 1 –“they will strike the judge of ISRAEL with a ROD ON THE CHEEK!

(Why rod?- Pr 29:15  The rod and reproof give wisdom:-- Pr 10:13--a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.-- Mic 6:9  The LORD’S voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it. LORD appointed the ROD! ---HEAR IT! Lev.19: 17--Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not bear sin because of him.

THEY BROUGHT THE ROD ON THE CHEEKS---Mic 5: 1 FULFILLED!!---IT IS TO GIVE KNOWLEGDE OF GOD—TO GIVE UNDERSTADNING TO PCG LEADERS----

God’s words are fulfilled!!

Why the rod?--- Eze.20:37 -And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:---ROD IS TO BRING INTO THE BOND OF THE COVENANT!! PCG HAS TO BE PREPARED FOR THE COVENANT, Eze. 16: 60-63----without preparing COULD ANYONE MAKE A COVENANT??? Even a small agreement has to be prepared before anyone signs it!!

Eze.20: 38 -And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against Me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

BEWARE—what is rebellion?

De 31:27 -For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck:

Jos 22:22--The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, He knoweth, and Israel He shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD,

1Sa 15:23 -For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.--- Job 34:37- For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, -- and multiplieth his words against God.

Jer 28:16, Jer 29:32 —(When not repenting, and teaching God’s true things, it is TEACHING REBELLION).

REBELLION AGAINST GOD----REFUSING TO REPENT IS STUBBORNNESS—STIFF NECK---MULTIPLYING WORDS AGAINST GOD!!

Eze.20: 38--I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

THIS IS GOD THE CREATOR, ALMIGHTY SPEAKING---He shall not allow rebels to come into kingdom of God, when He brings the captives to His temple, in the midst of ISRAEL!

Lu 17: 20-- The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

21- Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

WE BELIEVE THE THINGS OF KINGDOM OF GOD FROM OUR HEARTS, BUT WE JOIN THE CONGREGATION OF SUCH BELIEVERS, Jer. 30: 20, 21, THE STARTING POINT when captivity ends is Ezekiel temple, Eze.43: 18 onwards.

Eze.20:39 -As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye everyone his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto Me: but pollute ye My holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.

SO GOD ALLOWED PCG TO FOLLOW THEIR IDOLS—

THIS IS GOD OF WHOLE EARTH WHO ADDRESSES PCG----–WHO PERFORMS WHIRLRWINDS, TORNADOS, TSUNAMIS, AND THE LIKE SPEAKING!!

Read JOB 38—42 TO SEE A BIT OF GOD’S WORKS!!---HE REQUIRES NOT TO POLLUTE HIS NAME ANYMORE!!

Eze.20:40-  For in Mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve Me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.—READ Eze. 40: 2- In the visions of God brought He me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, (LORD SPEAKS OF ISRAEL AS HIS LAND—OR MOUNTAIN HEIGHT OF ISRAEL, IN Eze 6:2, 3 –LORD warned prophet that He would bring sword (Sword of God is words, Eph. 6: 17), to destroy HIGH PLACES!

Eze.20:41- I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen.

But AFTER PLEADING IN WILDERNESS OF PEOPLES, LORD would BRING THEM FROM CAPTIVITY, and THERE HE REQUIRES THEIR OFFERINGS---WITH ALL THEIR HOLY THINGS!!

LORD IN HIS GRACE TO FATHERS----MADE HIMSELF THE SACRIFICE NEEDED TO MAKE A New Covenant,

1Jo 3:5 -And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin.

THROUGH THE GRACE OF GOD HE CAME and was manifested AS A MAN TO BE SACRIFICED FOR THE SINS OF THE BELIEVERS!

God had power to lay His life and take it back, ln 10: 18---BUT REMEMBER THAT HE IS EVERLIVING NOW---

He cannot die again--- Heb 9:28 -So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

WHEN HE DIED HE TOOK OUR SINS, AND WAS RAISED SINLESS---AND SUCH A MAN (HE IS ALMIGHTY, Rev. 1: 8), DOES THE WORK OF Revelations TO GIVE SALVATION TO ISRAEL TRIBES, THEY WERE SENT THROUGH great tribulation, Rev. 7: 1—9, 14-17.

Ro 5:15- But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ,

THE FREE GIFT OF SALVATION GIVEN THROUGH HIS GRACE.

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.

HE DIED TO SAVE US FROM DEATH—(ISRAEL were dead in sins as ISRAEL’S Righteousness was as filthy rags, Isa. 64: 4)---ISRAEL SHOULD LIVE UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS ---JESUS CHRIST is as SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, Mal 4: 2, TO SHINE ON ISRAEL, WHEN HE DOES THE MALACHI PURIFICATION, Mal 3: 1-3.

And HE SAID TO REMEMBER LAW OF Moses GIVEN ON HOREB, with statutes and judgments of God, Mal 4: 4. (please await an article on that subject).

1Th 1:10 -- whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. --LORD’S WRATH CAME---ONLY JESUS CHRIST COULD DELIVER ISRAEL FROM ALL THAT TROUBLE! PCG on behalf of ISRAEL, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Jer. 33: 24-26 are to ACT UPON GOD’S WORDS NOW TO MAKE THE New Covenant, Eze. 16: 60-63.

2Pe 3:12 -Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?—LORD JESUS CHRIST MELTS SPIRITUALLY TO CREATE GOLD AND SILVER MINISTRY, DURING LORD’S DAY, Mal 3: 1-3, which is gentiles’ times, Eze. 30; 3.

His blood brings the captives from pits--- Zec 9:11 -As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.---UNDERSTAND that there is no water in the pit---SPIRITUAL FAMINE OF THE WORD, Amos 8: 11.—and they are released WITH THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT---which means they are RELEASED TO MAKE THE COVENANT!

Mt 26:28 -For this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Lu 22:20 -Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

Heb 12:24 -And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.---IT IS NOT BLOOD OF animals THAT HAS TO BE SPRINKLED when New Covenant IS MADE---BUT OF JESUS CHRIST!

Heb 13:20 -Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

GOD OF PEACE---LORD REQUIRES PEACE WITH ISRAEL AND ALL FLESH AS HE CALLS ALL FLESH TO WORSHIP HIM, Isa. 66: 23!!

THE GREAT SHEPHERD CALLS ISRAEL TO MAKE THE EVERLASTING COVENANT –JESUS CHRIST WHO RAISED FROM DEAD—IS ABLE TO MAKE PEACE!

Heb 10:4- For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

Heb 9:18- Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.

Heb 9:22 -And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

Heb 9:14  How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

WE SHOULD UNDERSTAND---these days are a time that everyone could learn in different ways, as all type of knowledge had increased---In early history of ISRAEL, they did not have that privilege!  NOW---LORD sends the KNOWLEDGE, TO COME OUT IN A SECOND EXODUS, through GENTILE banner, Isa. 11: 9-11. (In our early work we had to photocopy and send articles---but with the vast knowledge God gives (overflowing scourge, to cancel ISRAEL covenant with death, Isa. 28: 18), such photocopying and posting cannot be done!!---How our emails had helped to go as thieves,---“they shall enter in at the windows like a thief, Joel 2: 9”.)

WELL, LORD’S WORK IS MARVELLOUS!!

LORD’S GRACE TO SHED HIS BLOOD HELPS THE CAPTIVES WHO DOES NOT UNDERTSAND HOW LORD SAVES—will books of H.W.Armstrong save????

Heb. 10: 2--because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

Isa.1: 11--I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

Ho 6:6 -For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

Heb 10:11  And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

GOD DOES NOT WANT SACRIFICING WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING HIS RIGHTEOUS WAYS--

Am 5:21 -I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

Mic 6:7 -Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams,

Mic 6:8 -He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Mr 12:33 -And to love Him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

SACRIFICE HAS TO BE DONE THROUGH LIPS--

Ho 14:2- Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.

Heb 13:15  By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

SO ISRAEL who had baptizm of John should listen to John ---

Joh 1:29- The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Ro 11:27 -For this is My covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

John pointed to the LAMB---JESUS CHRIST was ordained as the LAMB before foundations—1 Pe 1: 19-20---read –

In http://www.restoringcaptivity.com

Eze.20: 42-And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for the which I lifted up Mine hand to give it to your fathers.

43-And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled; and ye shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.

44-And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have wrought with you for My name’s sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

In the words of Eze.20: 42—44---PCG who represent all ISRAEL, Rom. 9: 4, 6, Eze. 16: 60-62, should KNOW WHO GOD ALMIGHTY IS!!!

THERE IS NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE WITH HIM, Mt 19:26 , Mr 10:27, Lu 18:27---ANYTHING HE SAYS WOULD BE DONE!! KNOW YOUR GOD!!!--- and ye shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed. 44-And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have wrought with you for My name’s sake,--LORD MAKES THE COVENANT NOT ACCORDING TO THE CORRUPT WAYS OF ISRAEL!!

When LORD says Laodiceans are blind—Rev. 3: 17---PCG SHOULD SEE WHETHER THEY ARE BLIND?? A good example is written above in this article---PCG leader could not even see JESUS CHRIST opening the seals as the LAMB---Rev. 5: 9, Rev. 6: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12—and the 7^th seal in 8: 1,----Gerald Flurry wrote (on 18/ 5/ 2013—Mt 24 transcript in Key of David) that JESUS CHRIST is “just qualified to open the seals; ---

Eze.20: 46 -Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;---LORD WHO TAUGHT SOLOMON, considers the judgment place as a FOREST, 1Ki 7:2 –7. SO FOREST of SOUTH is South Area given to Alex Harrison---he destroyed it with Bamah abomination!

47 -And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.

WHEN AN ABOMINATION HAPPENS ANYWHERE IN GOD’S LAND---IT SPREADS---

The NORTH PEOPLE TOO HAVE TO SUFFER as THEY TOO CONSENTED AND OBEYED Gerald Flurry and Alex Harrison to EVEN PRAY FOR Bamah CROWD –THAT IS PRAYING FOR AN ABOMINATION IN GOD’S SANCTUARY!!

THEN Sabbaths too would be polluted!! Is that HOW GOD’S PEOPLE REVERENCE LORD’S SANCTUARY??

Le 19:30- Ye shall keep My Sabbaths, and reverence My sanctuary: I am the LORD.

Le 26:2 -Ye shall keep My Sabbaths, and reverence My sanctuary: I am the LORD.

Eze.20: 48 -And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.

49 -Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?

SO LORD HAD KINDLED A FIRE WITH HIS WORDS, Jer. 5: 14—PROPHET OF PCG SHOULD UNDERSTAND THESE PARABLES LORD IS SPEAKING!!

He is as a “man of cities”, Jer. 20: 16, because he rules the nations of Babylon, in captivity, Eze. 12: 13-15.

GENTILE MATTERS---

Acts 13: 13-15

Paul and his party came to Antioch and went into Synagogue ON THE SABBATH DAY, and READ LAW AND PROPHETS, Acts 13:13-15, then exhorted men of ISRAEL and they feared God, vs. 16. Paul said of a brief history of ISRAEL, then of David who had a heart to DO THE WILL OF GOD, vv. 17-22, and how JESUS CHRIST was born as a SAVIOUR to ISRAEL according to the promise, vs. 23.

LORD FORGIVES SINNERS of sins that had been committed AGAINST OLD LAW---AND INTRODUCES NEW LAWS FILLED WITH LOVE as a CHANGE OF LAW, Heb. 7: 12.

THE LAWS mentioned in Rom. 13: 8-10 ARE SIMILAR TO OLD LAWS, BUT LOVE HAD BEEN FULFILLED IN THEM.

(The gentiles who serve now had been cleansed by His blood to make them NIGH TO GOD, AS GRAFTED TO ISRAEL, Eph. 2: 11-13, so we are to follow Rom. 13: 8-10).

READ—for more understanding---

In http://www.restoringcaptivity.com

Paul continued speaking to sons of the family of Abraham, and described John the Baptist’s mission of proclaiming DEATH and RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST, Acts 13: 24-37. Paul preached of forgiveness of sins through death of JESUS CHRIST and said ISRAEL could not be justified by Law of Moses, vv. 38-39, and prophesied that JESUS CHRIST would do a marvellous work in our days, vs. 40-41, (That is Hab 1:5)

GENTILES then BEGGED TO HEAR THOSE WORDS ON THE NEXT Sabbath, Acts 13:42 AND almost the whole city came to hear these words on the NEXT Sabbath vs. 44, Jews were filled with envy, vs. 45, we see how keen the gentiles were to WORSHIP GOD AND HEARD HIS WAYS ON Sabbaths.

Since Jews did not hear, Paul and Barnabas turned to gentiles, so that all would have salvation, vs. 47.

Therefore Rom. 11:32 happened—God committed all ISRAEL to disobedience, so that salvation would come to gentiles, through the fall of ISRAEL , Rom. 11:11,12----

Rom. 11: 12-- Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?—15-For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

THAT IS A MARVELLOUS WORK OF GOD---TO MAKE ALL FLESH TO WORSHIP GOD, to be faithful to Noah, to make the ETERNAL COVENANT WITH ALL FLESH, Gen. 9: 16, 17.

Therefore gentiles were grafted but they are not to boast, they could be cut off, Rom. 11:17-22.

Read gentile judgments in http://www.restoringcaptivity.com

But ISRAEL would be grafted again when ISRAEL believe , Rom. 11 ;23-24,BILINDNESS IN PART HAPPNENED TO ISRAEL UNTIL THE FULNESS OF gentiles have come in and then  ALL ISRAEL WOULD BE SAVED, taking away their sins, VV. 25-27.

Thus gentiles were grafted to commonwealth of ISRAEL, Rom. 11: 17-22,---- by the BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST gentiles were made nigh, through His blood , Eph. 2:11-13.

Acts 15:8--And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the HOLY SPIRIT, even as He did unto us;

9 -And put no difference  between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.—11-But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

HOLY SPIRIT IS HIS LIFE GIVING WORDS, Jo 6; 63---GENTILES OR ISRAEL---ALL DRINK THE SAME SPIRIT,

1Co 12:13 -- For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

So through grace of JESUS CHRIST ---all would be saved in the same manner.

When all ISRAEL transgressed law, Dan 9:11, God rejected their service, Isa. 1:12-15. Therefore through forgiveness believers are Baptizm unto His death, to be born again in newness of life, Rom 6: 3-7, which gives HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HOLINESS, to serve Him, Vs. 19, 22.  

That means after forgiveness they are allowed to SERVE HIM AGAIN –Therefore after SAVING   FROM SIN, they are made to serve Him again—That is done through grace of JESUS CHRIST –FOR THIS GRACE—JESUS CHRIST CAME IN FLESH TO SHED HIS BLOOD TO SAVE THEM WHO WERE UNDER LAW, Gal 4:4,5.

Therefore when JESUS CHRIST came in flesh it was to shed His blood to save them, so that they obey the love of truth to keep commandments ,

2 Jo 6, and through keeping commandments that were ordained from beginning—we love one another.---2 Jo 6-- And this is love, that we walk after His commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

If you hate brethren, that means you do not obey commandments of God.

IN OTHER WORDS---

IF YOU OBEY LORD’S COMMANDMENTS you LOVE BRETHREN!

HERE ARE SOME WAYS TO LOVE BRETHREN---

Rom. 12:9-21--Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

10 -Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

11 -Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

12 -Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

13- Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

14 -Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

15 -Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

16 -Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

17 -Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

18- If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

19- Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.—LORD REPAYS FOR EVIL WORK--

20 -Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. WHEN EVIL WORKS ARE SHOWN—WE SHOULD HEAP COALS OF FIRE ON HIS HEAD!---these are instructions of the LORD!

Rom. 12: 21 -Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Whatever is not from faith is sin, Rom. 14:23---Rom. 14:17--For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

18 -For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

CORRECTING WRONG WAYS IS ACCEPTABLE TO GOD---it is approved by men who love peace of God.

That is how we ought to serve JESUS CHRIST to be acceptable to God.---

Rom. 13:10-- Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

11-  And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

12 -The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

13 -Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

14 -But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Congregation and helping ministers should listen to the words of rulers ---they are not a terror to good works, but to evil, Rom. 13:1-5 (WE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT GOD’S MINISTERS ARE IN HIS CHURCH –THEY ARE WHO OBEY GOD’S WORDS---so they are not leaders of the world—GOD SPEAKS OF HIS MINISTRY! .----

Rom. 13:8-- Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

9  For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

10  Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.—

Rom. 13: 8-10 THUS SAYS OF LAWS OF OLD!  2 Jo 6 says of those laws---

2 Jo 6-- And this is love, that we walk after His commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

So to fulfill law, we are to love, and to love we should have the truth, to keep commandments , 2 Jo 6. Lie is lawlessness, 2 The 2: 8-11.

Ro 2:29  But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

THEREFORE, BELIEVERS NEED THE CIRCUMCISION OF HEARTS---

Gentiles of history did not need the physical circumcision, Acts 15:1-14, as God knows the hearts, vv. 8-9, circumcision of Christ makes put off the sins of flesh Col 2:11, that happens through “buried with Him in baptizm and raised with Him through faith of JESUS CHRIST who raised”, Col 2:12, Through Baptizm unto His death, Rom. 6: 3-7, we become ALIVE from being dead in our trespasses and the uncircumcision of flesh—WE ARE MADE ALIVE WITH HIM, having been forgiven of all sins, Col 2:13.

Therefore serving the LORD on Sabbaths, beginnings of  months (new moons as written in Nu 28: 9-14), and on festivals WITH INIQUITY IN US are forgiven through baptizm unto His death and nailed those sins to His cross, Col 2:13,14, and just as He triumphed we too would triumph, vs. 15 and therefore past way of serving God need not to be judged, vs. 16, they were a shadow of things to come, but substance is Christ, vs. 17, WE ARE TO WORSHIP THEREAFTER WITHOUT SERVING SIN, Rom. 6: 6.

We are to hold on the Head, JESUS CHRIST , vs. 19, do not listen to commandments of men, vs. 22, set your mind on things above not on things on earth, Col 3:2---

(Private interpretations should not be heard, 2 Pe 1: 18, 20).

Col 3:3--For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

4 -When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory.

5 -Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:---COMPLETELY GIVE UP ALL SUCH SINS!

6  For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

WHEN ONE KEEPS THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, SUCH SINS WOULD HAVE NO PLACE IN YOU! Then, YOU ARE OBEDIENT TO GOD!

Gentiles were commanded to abstain from defiled things, idols, Acts 15:20

Col 3:5 too said of those things—Idolatry is putting other things before God, Ex. 20:3-5, and stubbornness.---

Acts 15:20---But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

Acts 15: 20 said of pollutions of idols---BECAUSE---IDOLS cause people to do against LORD’S judgments –LORD’S statutes---LORD’S Sabbaths—

1Sa 15:23 -For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.---HAVING IDOLS—IDOLATRY IS STUBBORNNESS!!

In these writings it was explained from Eze.20.

Acts 15: 21 -For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath day.

ACTS 15: 21 means---MOSES WAS TAUGHT EVERY SABBATH DAY –that is-----GENTILES LEARNED FROM MOSES.

Moses and laws are synonyms ! when we remember Moses we remember laws—Mal 4: 4-- Remember ye the law of Moses My servant,

Acts 15 Vs. 21 explains how vs 20 could be achieved. When Moses is preached every Sabbath, we learn that we should not be defiled --as sinning as written in vs. 20.

This is why when LORD revives David, Acts 15:16, gentiles and ISRAEL too would be revived that way, vs. 17.

That is why the word of God exhorts Mal 4:4, 5

Elijah, John the Baptist fulfilled his course preparing for JESUS CHRIST baptizm, Acts 13:24,25

Those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, Mal 3:16, and LORD spared them, vs. 17—

THOSE WHO FEARED THE LORD IN THE ABOVE VS. ARE GENTILES.  (ISRAEL had broken covenant---THAT MEANS THEY DO NOT FEAR GOD!).

THEN ANOTHER WORK IS WRITTEN IN VS. 18---

Mal 3:18--Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth Him not.---

SO RIGHTEOUS AND WICKED ARE TO BE SHOWN!!

Righteous would follow God’s commandments.

Rom. 8:2--For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Therefore when a believer turns to the LORD, the law of spirit of life has to be honoured. LORD changed the laws with His New Covenant, Heb. 7:12, and those laws are written in hearts with His New Covenant, Heb. 8:10, Heb.10: 16---

Rom.8;12--Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.---13- For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Rom. 1: 28-32 says such sinners would DIE!

Rom. 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

15  For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Those who live by SPIRIT should PRODUCE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT, Gal 5: 22-23.

Rom. 8: 16  The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: Our spirit should join WITH SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST,

1Co 6:17  But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

Then such become children of God---

Rom. 8: 17 -And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together.

18 -For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

19 -For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

THEREFORE—Rom. 6 SHOULD BE EXAMINED--

Rom. 6: 1 -- What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

2 -God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

3 -Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

4 -Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5- For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

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

7 -For he that is dead is freed from sin.

THAT IS THE Baptizm unto His death, to be born again in newness of life, Rom 6: 3-7, which gives HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HOLINESS, to serve Him, Vs. 19, 22.

Rom. 8: 23--And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.—

24 -For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

25 -But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

1^st born of poor gentiles, Isa. 14: 30 saved by hope are patiently wait for the LORD, Php 3: 20.

HOW DO LAWS, COMMANDMENTS ARE WRITTEN IN HEARTS? ---

2 Jo 6, ---says LOVE IS WALKING IN COMMANDMENTS, that were from beginning.

Rom. 5:5 ---says LOVE of God has been poured into hearts by Holy spirit given to us.---that means LORD’S COMMANDMENTS ARE POURED INTO HEARTS!

So what more writing is needed---COMMANDMENTS ARE POURED INTO OUR HEARTS when HOLY SPIRIT is given—gentiles received HOLY SPIRIT, as written in Joel 2: 28-29.

Joel 2:28-29—says of gentiles receiving His spirit so that 1^st born of poor Isa. 14:30, received His spirit that is love which is keeping commandments had entered into our hearts.

Then we are to retain commandments in our hearts to serve Him.

Pro. 3;1--My son, forget not My law; but let thine heart keep My commandments:

2 -For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

3- Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

4 -So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

5 -Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6  In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

7 --Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

8 -It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

When ISRAEL erred LORD made a LORD’S DAY, Eze. 30; 3 with purified gentiles, Eph. 2: 11-13, and Mal 4:1-3 fulfilled among gentiles of Rev. 11:1-2, La. 1:15.

THE FIRE WAS BROUGHT BY THEM, Isa. 27: 11.

MAL 4: 1- For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

2- But unto you that fear My name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.-GENTILES GOT THE RAYS OF THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS---AND THEN GIVE THAT LIGHT TO ISRAEL, Isa. 60: 3.

Mal 4: 3  And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.(Treading work in Rev. 11: 1-2, serving JESUS CHRIST, La. 1: 15)

Then ISRAEL AND ALL FLESH ARE TO REMEMBER THE LAW OF MOSES --

Mal 4: 4 - Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.

Just as LORD revives David who kept law of Moses, Amos 9:11, we see David’s way in 1 Ch 23:30-31, those were ordained in the time of Moses, Nu 28, and 29----that way of worship is WRITTEN IN Isa. 66: 23---it is the will of God forever, Isa. 66:23---

Isa. 66: 23--And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.

MAY ISRAEL OF GOD, Rom. 9: 4, UNDERSTAND THE WILL OF LORD GOD ALMIGHTY TO ESTABLISH THE NEW COVENANT, Eze16: 60-63.  AMEN AND AMEN.
