I
shared this on someone else's page: No one has the right to throw
stones at any one. We are all born with the nature of fallen Adam, sin
and death. Which is the nature of Satan in the heart of man, both redeemed (because they are but children and feed by milk) and unredeemed. Even though God's Spiritual essence is hidden deep within
the seed He planted in man.(Gen. 3:15)
This seed requires the Light
and Truth be received by our heart to break the shell of sin, which
surrounds it. Like the chaff or husk of the wheat kernel, which speaks of a thick layer of skin, usually on the heel of the foot. It requires the Holy Spirit's receptivity and activity to pulverize our stony heart (to circumcise it) to this the LORD told Isaiah this:
Isa 57:15-17, 20-21 "Thus said the high and lofty One that inhabits
eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with
him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit
of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. 16 For I
will not contend forever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit
should fail before Me, and the souls which I have made. 17 For the
iniquity of his covetousness (Israel had made covenants with the pagans
which were contrary to God) was I wroth, and smote him: I hid Me, and
was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart (this is the
character and nature exemplified in Jacob as the supplanter and Israel
as his heirs)......20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it
cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. 21 There is no peace,
said my God, to the wicked."
Now what comes next will require
our listening closely to, as it is God speaking to Jacob in Genesis: Gen
28:13-17 "Behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God
of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon you lie,
to you will I give it, and to thy seed; 14 And thy seed shall be as the
dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west, and to the
east, and to the north, and to the south: and in you and in thy seed
shall all the families of the earth (this is Israel as they are the
earthy people, they will rule over this earth after the LORD establishes
His earthly Kingdom) be blessed. And, behold, I am with thee, and will
keep thee in all places whither you go, and will bring thee again into
this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I
have spoken to thee of. 16 And Jacob awoke out of his sleep, and he
said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not. 17 And he was
afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but
the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven."
From here we
will move forward to chapter 32 and listen again very closely to what
it says: 24 "Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man (this is
Yehovah-Christ as an angel in mans flesh) with him until the breaking of
the day. 25 When He saw that He prevailed not against him (this is
Jacob), He touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's
thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with Him. 26 And He said, Let me
go, for the day breaks. And he (Jacob) said, I will not let you go,
except You bless (Jacob is using his contriteness of heart) me. 27 He
said to him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. 28 He said, Thy name
shall be called no more Jacob (supplanter), but Israel (this means he prevailed and
will rule as God, Yisrael, this is his character and nature which he
passed down to his heirs): for as a prince you power with God and with
men, and have prevailed. 29 Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray
thee, thy name. He said, Wherefore is it that you do ask after my name?
He blessed (now this is not as many would suppose a good thing because
Jacob used deceit to turn the head of this person away, so this is
actually a curse, a negative thing on) him (Jacob/Israel) there. 30
Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to
face, and my life is preserved."
If you have made it this far you
now know one of the many secrets hidden within scripture for our
learning.(Deu. 29:29, Hosea12:10) We have to have ears to hear and sees to see other
wise we will not see nor understand. Luke reveals this in: 24:44-45 "He
said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you, while I was yet
with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the
law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning Me. 45
Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the
scriptures." Why do you suppose Jesus did this? because of what he earlier as recorded by Mark:
Mark 4:9-13 He (Jesus) said to them, He that has ears to hear, let him hear. 10 And when He was alone, they that were about Him with the twelve asked of Him the parable. 11 He said to them, to you it is given to know the mystery (secrets) of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without (the redeemed and the unredeemed of Israel and the Gentiles), all these things are done in parables (see Hosea 12:10): 12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. 13 And He said to them, Know you not this parable? and how then will you know all parables?"

Understanding the Mysteries and Secrets of Spiritual Life
For years if not centuries men have been wandering through life
wondering for what purpose they exist and what purpose they serve in
the over all scheme of things. It is in answer to these and other
such questions this blog has been developed. Because God has give us a ministry, which we are titling:
What was the one experience that completely changed your
life? What happened? How did it change your life? Are you growing in Truth and Grace in the knowledge of God and Christ?
Jude 21-23 “Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the
mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. And of some have
compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling
them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.”
1Peter 4:18-19 “If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Wherefore let them that suffer according to the Will of God commit the keeping of their souls to Him in well doing, as to a faithful Creator.”

The Character of Christ to be received and restored within us.
My wife Glenda in her quest for Truth seeks the Lord each time she looks for a piece of literature. Then she begins her search all the while listening under God for what He desires for us, in our quest for learning and the knowledge of Christ. The quote that I am about to share is taken from one of those publications. It is a short essay titled, "Spirit of Truth" written by Paul Volk and Arthur Katz from Minneapolis, Minnesota, it has no reference to publisher so none is here given. For some unknown reason I am unable to copy and paste from this publication so please if you find this post, look for a copy of this small book as it will enrich your life in Christ's understanding. For God has Only One Way for us all, through the Cross as our door into His kingdom in Christ, Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

A True an Accurate Meaning of Passover part 25
Now
we can pick back up at verse 11 and continue through to verse 24
which reveals the
following:
“And every priest stood daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man (Jesus as the Christ of God), after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever (in accord with the promise first spoken by God to Adam in Genesis 3:15), sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool (these are they who oppose God's Christ and all that God through Him accomplished in accord with Genesis 3:15, which began the evening of His Passover, Marriage Feast meal ofter called the Lord's Supper on through His ascension and return at Pentecost). For by one offering he has perfected forever them that are sanctified (those who discern the Lord's body aright and do not become part of the dissipation and take it in an unworthily manner 1Corinthians 11:27, 29). Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that He had said before, 'this is the covenant that I will make with them after those days', saith the Lord, 'I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more'. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin (no further need to partake of the Sacrament of the Last Supper, as is the manner or habit of some and by so doing have become guilty of unbelief). Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a New and Living Way, which He has consecrated for us, through the veil (this implies the old Temple veil into the holiest place, which God tore from the top down while the body of Christ was on the tree and as it was a shadow of the true body of flesh first created for Him, mans flesh), that is to say, His flesh; and having an High Priest over the house of God (Christ is this High Priest in the eternal order of Melchizedek, king of righteousness); Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised; This Promised is in Genesis 3:15) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, for the exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”
So when we have the knowledge of the Truth and the secret or mystery of God (Deuteronomy 29:29, found in Genesis 3:15) which were withheld from Israel and the churches of anti-Christ, the enemies of Christ. For those who have passed through righteousness (by entering redemption) into the LORD's Salvation there remains no more need of sacrifice. By any other external means of worship, for we now worship in Spirit and Truth, of any kind as we have entered His rest in union again with Him. Again as is the habit of ritualistic, purely external, a literalistic practice, anyone who partakes of the LORD's table and alter as a habit or ritual as an external practice do so for no benefit other than damnation to themselves. Because they have no revelation or enlightenment of the Truth. Because to do so is to crucify the LORD again. Just as the practice of Easter (the practicing of His death again, keeping Him on the stake) or Christmas (the keeping of Jesus as a babe) are nothing but pagan holidays in disguise or veiled from their true meaning and origin. Which does not remove the power of the spirit therein hidden and hidden by none other than the church itself. Matters not its name or denominational affiliation, sect or form of religious practice. And again its because they take the word in a literal manor, of common usage and in many cases, as a futuristic meaning, a not yet but at some future date. The not dividing of the earthy from the spiritual as Jesus Himself revealed by the cloth and the new wine illustration (Matthew 9:16-17 and Mark 2:21-22).
Upon what is this statement based? To find out we need but return to Genesis because hidden within it is found the bases of mans future redemption and ultimate Salvation and his being restored to God. The restoration by so doing with woman and Adam as the corporate and federal head of all mankind is made available to all as they spring from Adams loins and the seed of the Father of spirits hidden within all. This is foundation is in the text of chapter 3 and verse 15.
Genesis
3:15 “'I will put enmity between you
(the serpent, Satan) and
the woman, and between your seed
(as the children of the world, the unredeemed and even more than them
those who find the ancient path and the way to Life) and
her seed
(those who would by way of personal choice choose Life from death
through Christ's Redemption and Salvation);
it (this
seed, hidden within mans soul, the ontological essences of Spirit who is
Christ, to be restored to Life again as from the dead) shall
bruise your head (every one who accepts their redemption bruises the head of Satan), and you shall bruise his heel (this is the suffering which all who chose this path will share until the day of Christ).'”
Here
we can find two an only two kinds of man, the lost and forever damned
and those who by way of choice of free will choose the kingdom of
God, and His righteousness and kingdom of spiritual rule restored in
them as was in Adam before he fell into death and sin in that death.
God here is saying that the power which brought Light, when He called Him forth, into the darkness and chaos. When life, order, harmony and
goodness was imparted into an otherwise dead earth. He backs up His
Word by so expressing it without really revealing it's intent. For
He already knows what natural man will do to it in his imagination,
vial reasoning's and wisdom, make light and mock it, by taking of it
as with all His hidden revelation, literally. Or in the common usage
of language and by so doing twist and distort His Word, His Law, His
Grace, His Love, Faith and Goodness and His Truth even down to His
virtue.
Paul warns Timothy about such in 1 Timothy 4 and the Hebrew Christians as found in Hebrews and those in Galatia found in the Galatians letter. So we also warn everyone who finds and reads our message.

A True an Accurate Meaning of Passover part 24
Please allow me to back up a bit to something I said yesterday it being; To
get a clearer understanding lets look at Hebrews where Paul is
speaking to those who have turned from their Jewish roots and
forsaken the external religion, to the obedience in Christ and have
tasted of the good things in Christ, that is to say the abundance of
His Life in them. Here's the thought all of mans external religion has in effect compartmentalized the spirit world and thereby reduces Malachi's question;
Malachi 2:5
"'My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear (to dread, to stand in terror of) wherewith he feared (to reverence) Me, and was afraid before My name.'"
The fear of God has been reduced to one of no value, no respect for Him and especially in the western churches. For they have unknowingly followed the same course as Israel by adopting its religious forms and styles. For example a friend had a missionary visiting from North Africa, who asked me, if I would be willing to come and teach in his native land. To which I said yes, the Lord willing. Then he asked, how I would deal with and handle evil spirits as they have great power in his land. I said that, that posed no concern to me because the greater One lives in me. In other words through Christ's ontological essence restored, I have the same authority man was given as found in Genesis 1:26-28. Most western missionaries don't know how to handle such events as they've been hoodwinked into not believing in the supernatural by being told that all has passed away long ago. Not so! Nature itself suffers violence because of mans lack of knowledge through that falseness of western theology and the religare of the Spirit within man by that religion. The warning of Paul as we've been explaining here. By the taking of the elements unworthily.
“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together (the style or custom learned by continual practice in Judaism), as the manner (or habit, by custom, rite or usage in the compartmentalizing) of some is; but exhorting one another (to stand strong in the faith of Christ by way of comforting and instruction): and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. For if we sin willfully (we cannot crucify the Lord again to ourselves) after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries (those who oppose themselves in the practice of external ritualism). He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? For we know him that hath said, 'Vengeance belongs unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord.' And again, 'The Lord shall judge his people.' It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
Here's
Malachi's question now being answered, and why is this so, look above
to verses 3 through 10 to find out:
“But in those sacrifices (under the rituals and common practices, the literal and religious) there is a remembrance (Exodus 30:10; Hebrews 9:8; Matthew 26:28) again made of sins every year (this is the same practice of the churches of anti-Christ of this day). For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore when He came into the world, He said, 'Sacrifice and offering You would not, but a body have You prepared Me (Genesis 3:15, 1:26-28, 2:7): In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You have had no pleasure.' Then said I, 'Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do Your will, O God.' Above when he said, 'Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin You would not, neither have pleasure therein; which are offered by the law'; Then said he, 'Lo, I come to do Your will, O God.' He toke away the first, that He may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”
Then
in Galatians Paul tells us this:
Galatians
4:2-7“But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world (as found in nature itself, sins control, the system of religion, the Law and all man made custom, rites and rituals in ceremonies of religious activities which serve to bind and restrict us): But when the fulness of the time was come (the end, the last days, the for ever one, for ever or other such related titles of Christ), God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law (Genesis 1:28, 3:15) , To redeem them that were under the law Genesis 2:16-17) , that we might receive the adoption of sons (Genesis 3:15). And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore you are no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ (Psalm 2:8).”

A True an Accurate Meaning of Passover part 23
1
Corinthians 11: 28-32
“But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.”
adv. "[See Worthy and Worth.] Not according to desert; without due regard to merit; as, to treat a man unworthily."
Here we have another word used, "desert" just what does it mean lets look shall we: a. S as z [L. To sow, plant or scatter.] 1. Literally, forsaken; hence, uninhabited; as a desert isle. Hence, wild; untilled; waste; uncultivated; as a desert land or country.
2. Void; emprty; unoccupied. Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, and waste its sweetness on the desert air.
DESERT, n. An uninhabited tract of land; a region in its natural state; a wilderness; a solitude; particularly, a vast sandy plain, as the deserts of Arabia and Africa. But the word may be applied to an uninhabited country covered with wood.
DESERT, v.t. [L. To forsake.]
1. To forsake; to leave utterly; to abandon; to quit with a view not to return to; as, to desert a friend; to desert our country; to desert a cause.
2. To leave, without permission, a military band, or a ship, in which one is enlisted; to forsake the service in which one is engaged, in violation of duty; as, to desert the army; to desert ones colors; to desert a ship.
DESERT, v.i. To run away; to quit a service without permission; as, to desert from the army.
DESERT, n.
1. A deserving; that which gives a right to reward or demands, or which renders liable to punishment; merit or demerit; that which entitles to a recompense of equal to the offense; good conferred, or evil done, which merits an equivalent return. A wise legislature will reward or punish men according to their deserts.
2. That which is deserved; reward or punishment merited. In a future life, every man will receive his desert.
So we can see that anyone who forsakes his call, or we might say turns his back (in this case from the Lord) by not understanding aright all that was accomplished throughout the meal or Last Supper, as well as what was accomplished shortly thereafter, as a continuance of the whole (His death, burial, resurrection and ascension) we might say, that person is automatically guilty of not properly discerning our being one in Him in the redemption of all. And because of that, is unworthy of the whole and remains an enemy, a traitor a deserter and in this case an anti-Christ. For in redemption and in accordance to the promise spoken to Adam and woman in Genesis 3:15, all Adams seed is redeemed in and by that one continuous action. God in His divine wisdom then built upon this one promise all other promises or covenants. For a vow is just that, a covenant and greater than. Through Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and even king David we find that the nations are to be blessed, not just one particular group such as Israel alone.
And again we'll turn to a dictionary for help with the word "vow":
VOW, n. 1. A solemn promise made to God, or by God or by a pagan to his deity. The Roman generals when they went to war, sometimes made a vow that they would build a temple to some favorite deity, if he would give them victory. A vow is a promise of something to be given or done hereafter.
A person is constituted a religious by taking three vows, of chastity, of poverty, and of obedience. Among the Isrealites, the vows of children were not binding, unless ratified by the express or tacit consent of their father. Num 30.
2. A solemn promise; as the vows of unchangeable love and fidelity. In a moral and religious sense, vows are promises to God, as they appeal to God to witness their sincerity, and the violation of them is a most heinous offense.
VOW, v.t. 1. To give, consecrate or dedicate to God by a solemn promise. When Jacob went to Mesopotamia, he vowed to God a tenth of this substance, and his own future devotion to his service. Gen 28.
When thou vowest a vow, defer not to pay it. Eccl 5.
2. To devote.
VOW, v.i. To make vows or solemn promises. He that vows, must be careful to perform.
Again in Genesis 3:15 it is God making the vow to all of man kind as they are the seed of woman and Adam as the nations. When God spoke to Adam, He did not give a certain day or way of worship, nor is it recorded that he was to every year practice the sacrificing of an animal as his covering of sin.
“But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.”
Can
we say that we've listened with care to what is here stated as a
warning for us all? I personally think not. And why now because in
all my years searching and seeking the kingdom of God not one pastor
in any church has ever, to my recollection and knowledge, shared a
message based on this passage of scripture. So let's us do so and the
first word I see that draws my attention is "unworthily"
so now turning to any dictionary available lets look it up. The
closest one at my finger tips is the Webster's 1828 Dictionary here's
what it says;
adv. "[See Worthy and Worth.] Not according to desert; without due regard to merit; as, to treat a man unworthily."
Here we have another word used, "desert" just what does it mean lets look shall we: a. S as z [L. To sow, plant or scatter.] 1. Literally, forsaken; hence, uninhabited; as a desert isle. Hence, wild; untilled; waste; uncultivated; as a desert land or country.

DESERT, v.t. [L. To forsake.]
1. To forsake; to leave utterly; to abandon; to quit with a view not to return to; as, to desert a friend; to desert our country; to desert a cause.
2. To leave, without permission, a military band, or a ship, in which one is enlisted; to forsake the service in which one is engaged, in violation of duty; as, to desert the army; to desert ones colors; to desert a ship.

So we can see that anyone who forsakes his call, or we might say turns his back (in this case from the Lord) by not understanding aright all that was accomplished throughout the meal or Last Supper, as well as what was accomplished shortly thereafter, as a continuance of the whole (His death, burial, resurrection and ascension) we might say, that person is automatically guilty of not properly discerning our being one in Him in the redemption of all.

Keep
in mind the habit or manner of some in the assembling together,
wherein they practice as a rite or ritual, the Lord's Supper and the
washing of feet, by way of their church doctrine. In the same fashion
as the Hebrew Orthodoxy who worshiped God as an external being, who
made an agreement with them which required to keeping of Saturday as
their Sabbath. And by their so doing promised to help them. Therefore
they had not the understanding of the internal reality which Jesus'
message revealed. This message was in accord with the promise first
spoken to mankind through Adam and is found in Genesis 3:15 and the
seal of it in verse 21. They have not the revelation of Christ or of
His words spoken within the confines of the synoptic gospels or of
all that the Old Testament reveals of Him, let alone the witness of
Paul or the other New Covenant writers. They are held by the religare
of their respective denominations through its rites, rituals,
customs, ceremonies and traditions of men, that is to say their
doctrines of an external and material faith. And are therefore
refusing Christ and are then in reality anti-Christ, though they
deceive themselves by their practice of religious ceremonies. To get
a clearer understanding lets look at Hebrews where Paul is speaking
to those who have turned from their Jewish roots and forsaken the
external religion, to the obedience in Christ and have tasted of the
good things in Christ, that is to say the abundance of His Life in
them.

A True an Accurate Meaning of Passover part 22
Before continuing, one thing needs to be said, we did not get into the elements of the meal nor deed we cover the fact that the very evening and morning of Christ's betrayal the sheep had been gathered and the inspection of them had begun. So while Jesus was standing before the court of priest's there assembled and being grilled and inspected by them others were also doing the same with the animals for sacrifice. Of which one goat was chosen it had a red or scarlet cord tied about its throat or horns and was lead outside the city to the hill country there to be released. But Jesus was lead through the same streets and those who had just before laid hands on the scape goat and confessed their sins now were the same ones jeering at Him as He made His way outside the city to the hill of execution. Can we get hold of the paradox here?
Now we'll look at the hymns song by the Lord and His disciples after the Feast of Passover and I'll let them speak for themselves.
Psalm 116:1-19
“I love the LORD, because He has heard my voice and my supplications. Because He has inclined His ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him as long as I live. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gather hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech You, deliver my soul. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yes, our God is merciful. The LORD preserves the simple: I was brought low, and He helped me. Return unto your rest, O my soul; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with me. For You have delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: I said in my haste, All men are liars. What shall I render unto the LORD for all His benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all His people. Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints. O LORD, truly I am Your servant; I am Your servant, and the son of Your handmaid: You have loosed my bonds. I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all His people, In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.”
Psalm 117:1-2
“O praise the LORD, all you nations: praise Him, all you people. For His merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endures for ever. Praise the LORD.”
Psalm 118:1-29
“O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good: because His mercy endures for ever. Let Israel now say, that His mercy endures for ever. Let the house of Aaron now say, that His mercy endures for ever. Let them now that fear the LORD say, that His mercy endures for ever. I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? The LORD took my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. They compassed me about; yes, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. You have thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me. The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation. The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD does valiantly. The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD does valiantly. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. The LORD has chastened me sore: but He has not given me over unto death. Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD: This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. I will praise You: for You have heard me, and are become my salvation. The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day which the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Save now, I beseech You, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech You, send now prosperity. Blessed be he that comes in the name of the LORD: we have blessed You out of the house of the LORD. God is the LORD, which has shown us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. You are my God, and I will praise You: You are my God, I will exalt You. O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good: for His mercy endures for ever.”
These are the customary hymns song after the taking of the Passover and if we'll pay particular attention to them we'll learn of their spiritual Truth and reality.
I'll attempt to bring this to a reasonable conclusion. To do this we need to look again at our scripture where we find that we're to examine our own selves to see if we have already received the revelation of Christ in me (Galatians 2:20). If we have there remains no more need to repeat this table and alter of the LORD because His being in us is the table and our alter in our flesh. Then to do so we are refusing His ontological presence and rule of His kingdom and Priesthood which we now are one with. In simple other words, we crucify again the Lord to our selves by so doing and this is unbelief to the max. Its saying that all the revelation of Him is nothing to us and that we have to follow the few who walk contrary to God by the common practice of man made customs rites and ceremonies of men.
1 Corinthians 11: 28-32
“But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.”
Now we'll look at the hymns song by the Lord and His disciples after the Feast of Passover and I'll let them speak for themselves.
Psalm 116:1-19

A True an Accurate Meaning of Passover part 21
We're to be the
house of prayer for all nations (Isaiah 56:7; Malachi 1:11; Matthew
21:13; 1 Timothy 2:8) when we walk or live a life of Love towards all in
the spirit and in Truth, which is righteousness restored with our soul.
Now for a short rehearsal of what we've learned. What we've not mentioned is the LORD's virtue which we know flowed from Him as witnessed to in Mark 5:30, Luke 6:19 and 8:46 and virtue is power, divine power which brought about restoration or healing to those who were effected by it (Isaiah 53:5 and 2 Peter 2:24). They were by faith's reaching out in receptivity to the union of Life restored within their spiritual bodies, mans soul the source of our healing power.
Galatians 5:24-25
“And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh (in Romans 7:18 Paul reveals that: “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwells no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.” and the in chapter 8 verse 7: “ Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.” When Adam lost the Spiritual presences of God he became flesh. Of this flesh Romans 6:6-7 says: “Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin (the voice of sinful flesh) might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin.”) with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”
As the disciples on a number of occasions were told by Christ to deny self and to take up their cross, they like the church of our day had no understanding of His request to surrender all to His charge as an accursed thing that was due death's penalty, which He nailed to the tree. It may be that the truth of our being crucified with Christ has not been taught. And many they are who shrink back from the self-denial that it implies, and as a result, where the flesh (self will, sin) is allowed in any measure to have its way, the Spirit of Christ cannot exert His power. Only as the flesh is kept in the place of crucifixion can the Spirit guide us in living Loving faith and fellowship with and within Christ Jesus. This is the purpose and meaning of our first estate and what the Holy Spirit equips us for through our passage through this estate. The first crisis is the Lord's Last Passover (Pesach or lamb) meal for it is in it that an exchange is made and then another crisis of consummation is faced, do we surrender our will for God's Will (by taking of the Garden cup) in the form of another crisis death. And this is the cross and our death of self and to the world. This is also revealed by Christ Jesus in Matthew chapter 10 verses 38 and 39 or do we remain as part of the deception in the world of darkness chaos and sin in religion?
Matthew 10:38-39
“And he that takes not his cross, and follows after me, is not worthy of me. He that finds (holds onto, to return to, to show one's self out*) his life shall lose it: and he that loses his life for my sake shall find it.” Jesus spoke seed words to His disciples which only after they received the Holy Spirit sent from above did they even begin to understand their meaning. We when we come to the crisis of the requirement placed on all who would accept the mystery of the Lord's Passover, New Covenant meal and Marriage Feast and then the cross' work, the loss of one's life (of deadness, separation from God) and the New Life which is on the other side of it, what we've called the second blessing. Entry into the New Covenant and the power of an Endless Life. And of course this is all received by His faithfulness working within us.
* see Paul's warnings, found in Galatians and Hebrews: for he says that after we've tasted the abounant Life of Christ, the re-genesis, quickening to true Life, there remains no more room or need to crucify the Lord again by returning to the former life and this is what the Lord is here telling those around Him.
Before we leave this allow me to look at just one more passage of scripture this is found in Luke chapter 14 and beginning with verse 26-33:
“If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, sites not down first, and counts the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, Saying, "This man began to build, and was not able to finish." Or what king, going to make war against another king, sites not down first, and consults whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that comes against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an ambassage, and desires conditions of peace. So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsakes (renounces) not all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.”
This is of course our Lord's own words on our subject of study and what do we find in verse 33 but this one word “forsake” or as we've shown “renounces” all that he has, "he can not be My disciple". So argue they will over words and their meanings and even doctrines or mans opinion of them but this one thing they can not do deny the LORD His right to intervene or rule those who have put Him in first place. For this is the meaning here “IF” we don't love or fear God more than our own lives and indeed our own kin then we're not worthy of Him. For this is the meaning of Deuteronomy chapter 6 and verse 5 along with that of Romans chapter 12 and verses 1 through 4 from these we can with Paul say as he does in Galatians chapter 2 verse 20: “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” And this is the hidden meaning of the bread and the wine of the New Covenant. As indeed the full of those few short hours, days and weeks hold for us. Which are the seven Ones of Ephesians 4:3-5.
This morning long before day break the LORD woke me to show me this and please bear with me as I need to get this straight and correct.
Going back to Genesis and the origin of man when Adam followed woman in the eating of the forbidden fruit When man bit into it, Adam the man, tore God's heart, it literally broke. For God lost His first Love, His son, His first born son, heart of His heart, Love of His Love. For man was God's greatest creation. Because man was created in His divine likeness and nature. In other words, man unlike the beasts of the fields, had the power of will, the power of choice and Love both at the same time directed toward his parent, God. For God, is Spirit, was and is the Father of spirits or the soul of man, He is our parent and Head of His family, the family of His own making in total Love. When man was torn from his connection to his parent the separation caused a great wrenching of pain within the heart of both man and the Father. From here we'll move 3000 plus years (by mans standard) forward to the day Love was crucified and the curtain of the heart of man and God was torn again while Love, Grace, Truth and Faith hung suspended between Heaven and hell. The righteous one judged guilty of Love in place of sin and in the death of the flesh the circumcision of the heart came again and the Hand of God this time tore the curtain of the division of the Holiest place for all mankind to be allowed back to the heart of his parent. The flesh of Christ Jesus was mans flesh just as the veil of separation was also mans flesh, for behind it was the darkness and hardness of mans heart. Where the seat of mercy once sat, yes once sat, because it had been removed by the Priest’s many years prior, so the room was defiled just as Israel was.
Those who don't judge themselves aright remain defiled just as Israel to this day has been judged because of it's unbelief in the partial hardening. It only took another partial hardening because, Satan had already hardened their hearts when they chose to listen to the high priest's, who were but false prophets and dreamers of schemes and liars They (priests of Israel) were but serpents, servants of Satan, and evil was in those men and the people that followed the few. Through Satan's deception they had cooked up a plan of mass deception which established their devised schemes to hoodwink the nation in the doing of their will. In the vast deception, as when the flesh of Jesus had tempted Him in the wilderness, so it was already at work. You may ask when and where did this happen, in the wilderness when He was hungry and the evil one showed Him the kingdoms of the world which were then already under his control through the religion and governments of men. You see Satan knew this, the crowd always follows those who lead by deception and so does all, when there is evil a foot. For mans heart is evil but as we've already said, holds a good heart of spirit, mans conscious is within the soul of all men everywhere, because of Genesis 3:15. For this is the reason Jesus knew mens heart condition. He was there when man ate and His heart was broken, though He knew what was ahead just as a good parent today knows without being told when their child is up to no good.
Now for a short rehearsal of what we've learned. What we've not mentioned is the LORD's virtue which we know flowed from Him as witnessed to in Mark 5:30, Luke 6:19 and 8:46 and virtue is power, divine power which brought about restoration or healing to those who were effected by it (Isaiah 53:5 and 2 Peter 2:24). They were by faith's reaching out in receptivity to the union of Life restored within their spiritual bodies, mans soul the source of our healing power.
Galatians 5:24-25
“And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh (in Romans 7:18 Paul reveals that: “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwells no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.” and the in chapter 8 verse 7: “ Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.” When Adam lost the Spiritual presences of God he became flesh.

A True an Accurate Meaning of Passover part 20
Last night while watching TV with my wife I came to realize that in Genesis 3:15 and 21, this, that God did not give Adam a way to worship Him. Then it dawned on me that Jesus said, that God is spirit and the true worshiper will worship the Father of spirits in spirit and Truth. And the apostle Paul said, that no man is justified except he live by faith and then that the righteousness of God is known in this manor to walk by faith not by sight. (John 4: 23-24; Galatians 3:11, Romans 1:17, Galatians 2:20) Faith is and action word for the NOW and is therefore a living NOW of Spirit. Only mans living by the flesh, listening to the voice of the flesh has a past and a not yet but future some day. And this is where those caught in Religion sit in strife within themselves and opposing God, the God of Spirit and Life in the NOW faith is the substance of all spiritual Life, and for them of the not yet a future life. Not understanding that the kingdom of God is within mans soul by re-genesis of that soul.
Christ is revealed throughout the fullness of the Old Testament more correctly the Covenant of promise because He swore by none greater than Himself, and He Himself is Christ though called by many titles in the Old Testament. He through them as expressions of His character and the office or administration of that office is administered. When we begin to understand the fullness and see the spiritual side of what Jesus did as "The Last Supper" and then up through all that then took place. His message begins to have a life of its own, for it says that man is not to live for the flesh alone but rather for the spirit. When He said, while hanging on the cross, "IT IS FINISHED". What did He mean? But this, all the Covenants He as God had established between Himself and Himself though they had a man, in them, all were His from beginning to end, He as God ended them IN HIMSELF, as CHRIST. While still partaking of the meal He started a New and much much better ONE sealed with and by His own BLOOD, that which had been impossible before. The Blood of CHRIST is now the bases of BETTER promises. HIS doing all in all. For HIS good pleasure. Man failed but God can never fail. “For God is not a man that He should lie. For God is Spirit. For with God all things are possible. He alone works through Love unspeakable and full of Glory for all.” In the New Covenant, God promises to be and do what man could not be nor do and that is to obey His Word, Will and Law which are but one. God in the person of the Holy Spirit indwells us and then begins the work of revealing Christ both to us and in us. Because just as when a man and a woman come together there is not love at first but after spending time together they begin to know each other and by knowing each other they fall in love with each other. Only after gaining a knowledge of someone do we find ourselves loving that person and this is why the Lord in Matthew 11 tells us to learn of Him. As He is the person of both the Old and the promised New Covenant with this one difference in the New He ties Himself to us through both the "Marriage Feast" as the Lamb of God. But also a New and living Covenant in which is found the principle of an Endless Life through a death of all our self will, the silencing of the voice of the flesh. Known as sin, which causes death, eternal separation from God. Through the revelation of God we now have eternal union with Him who is Love. We therefore love all our neighbors, more than self, the others of what ever nation, kinder, or ethnicity.
Romans 11:17-19
“And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them partake of the root and fatness of the olive tree (Abraham the root and Christ Jesus the fatness of Life); Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bears not the root, but the root thee. Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”
Remember that the root and the vine is Christ and Abraham in type. Just as Moses was a type of Christ in kind. For Moses' (Egyptian) and Jesus' (Greek) name means salvation through water by immersion in or through. That is why Moses said that God would come as a prophet like to himself. (Deuteronomy 18:15, 18)
Romans 11:22-25
“Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. For if thou were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness* of the Gentiles be come in.”
If we choose to live by the flesh, only hearing its voice we are cutting ourselves off as Israel cut itself off. And remains cut off to this day because they choose to listen to the voice of the flesh not the Spirit though the Spirit is speaking to them and indeed to us all the time through the Son. The Religion of Israel and indeed mans as it copies Israels though called "Christians" is nothing for all religion is but false as mans government is false for each seek to regulate mans morality through self regulation in fear and strife. Though religion proclaims love it is but mans love of self at its base and this is the religion of Satan's doing and making.
*Remember Peters fishing net that received an overflowing abundance after he was told by the risen Lord to cast it in on the other side of his boat. It was a type of Israel and the Gentiles who would fill the net of God by faith and obedience to His revelation through Love. God's perfect plain for mans reaching salvation through obedience of death, death to self, pride and the prince of the power of the air or the spirit of the world housed in mans flesh, known as the voice of the flesh. All of which Jesus did and more on the cross as we've just shared. (John 21: 3-4, 6)
This again is a type of our being the fishers of men and it all starts by our being obedient to the Holy Spirit and praying for all men everywhere, for we are now the temple. For by so doing we are the house of prayer for all nations (Isaiah 56:7; Malachi 1:11; Matthew 21:13; 1 Timothy 2:8) we walk or live a life of Love towards all in spirit and in Truth.
Christ is revealed throughout the fullness of the Old Testament more correctly the Covenant of promise because He swore by none greater than Himself, and He Himself is Christ though called by many titles in the Old Testament. He through them as expressions of His character and the office or administration of that office is administered. When we begin to understand the fullness and see the spiritual side of what Jesus did as "The Last Supper" and then up through all that then took place. His message begins to have a life of its own, for it says that man is not to live for the flesh alone but rather for the spirit. When He said, while hanging on the cross, "IT IS FINISHED". What did He mean? But this, all the Covenants He as God had established between Himself and Himself though they had a man, in them, all were His from beginning to end, He as God ended them IN HIMSELF, as CHRIST. While still partaking of the meal He started a New and much much better ONE sealed with and by His own BLOOD, that which had been impossible before. The Blood of CHRIST is now the bases of BETTER promises. HIS doing all in all. For HIS good pleasure. Man failed but God can never fail. “For God is not a man that He should lie. For God is Spirit. For with God all things are possible. He alone works through Love unspeakable and full of Glory for all.” In the New Covenant, God promises to be and do what man could not be nor do and that is to obey His Word, Will and Law which are but one. God in the person of the Holy Spirit indwells us and then begins the work of revealing Christ both to us and in us. Because just as when a man and a woman come together there is not love at first but after spending time together they begin to know each other and by knowing each other they fall in love with each other. Only after gaining a knowledge of someone do we find ourselves loving that person and this is why the Lord in Matthew 11 tells us to learn of Him. As He is the person of both the Old and the promised New Covenant with this one difference in the New He ties Himself to us through both the "Marriage Feast" as the Lamb of God. But also a New and living Covenant in which is found the principle of an Endless Life through a death of all our self will, the silencing of the voice of the flesh.

John
21:3-4, 6
“Simon Peter saith
unto them, “I go a fishing.” They say unto him, “We also go
with thee.” They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately;
and that night they caught nothing. But when the morning was now
come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it
was Jesus..... And he said unto them, 'Cast the net on the right side
of the ship, and ye shall find.' They cast therefore, and now they
were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.”
This again is a type of our being the fishers of men and it all starts by our being obedient to the Holy Spirit and praying for all men everywhere, for we are now the temple. For by so doing we are the house of prayer for all nations (Isaiah 56:7; Malachi 1:11; Matthew 21:13; 1 Timothy 2:8) we walk or live a life of Love towards all in spirit and in Truth.

A True an Accurate Meaning of Passover part 19
Psalm 116:12-15
“What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.”
Habakkuk 2:3-4
“ For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.”
Isaiah 30:18
“And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.”
Romans1:17
“For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.”
Romans 3:21-22
“But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference.”
Romans 8:9
“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.”
Romans 4:9, 11, 13, 22
“Comes this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness....And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised (a gentile): that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised (made up of gentiles, the nations); that righteousness might be imputed unto them also.....For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith (Christ is that faith and faith is Christ).....And therefore it was imputed to him (both Abram/Abraham and the nations) for righteousness.”
2Corinthians 9:9-10
“As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad (God is He who disperses); he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remains for ever. Now he that ministers seed (the Word, spiritual life) to the sower both minister bread for your food (meat, bread the flesh of man is food for the soul of man), and multiply your seed (the Light, spirit and word) sown, and increase the fruits (spirit) of your righteousness.”
Galatians 3:12-22
“And the law is not of faith: but, The man that does them shall live in them (Those who choose to remain in the externality of the flesh are judged already). Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law (Genesis 2:17, 3:7, 16-19 this for the nations, this is for Israel: Numbers and Deuteronomy under the Law ), being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree (this being Christ Jesus, Deuteronomy 21:22): that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith (Genesis 3:15). Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannuls, or adds thereto. Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. Wherefore then serves the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise (Genesis 3:15) was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. But the scripture has concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.”
2Peter 1:1
“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ.”
2Peter 1:19
“We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light (white light or illumination, this is spiritual revelation) that shineth in a dark place (where the seed lays, in mans heart of hearts in his soul), until the day dawn (the Holy Spirit, who causes us to abstain from the indulgences of crime), and the day star (the ontological essence of the Spirit of Christ, restored within) arise in your hearts.”
“What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.”

Romans 4:9, 11, 13, 22
“Comes this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness....And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised (a gentile): that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised (made up of gentiles, the nations); that righteousness might be imputed unto them also.....For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith (Christ is that faith and faith is Christ).....And therefore it was imputed to him (both Abram/Abraham and the nations) for righteousness.”

From Genesis 1 throughout the Bible it is spiritual ground but sadly man has fallen prey to the externality of Israels deception through the same religious spirit that dove them. This coupled with the rest of the
chapter is our good works as required of us in intercessory prayer.
As a portion of our cup.
“And the law is not of faith: but, The man that does them shall live in them (Those who choose to remain in the externality of the flesh are judged already).

A True an Accurate Meaning of Passover part 18
The covenant of redemption as revealed in Genesis 3:15, is
the mutual agreement between the Father of spirits Genesis 1:26-27 and the Son Genesis 3:15, respecting the
redemption of sinners by Christ. Which will bring those who have chosen into Christ's Salvation as witnessed through the Lord's Passover meal, the Marriage of God, the Father of spirits nature and that of the Son's to mans first nature hidden within man. And once this is taken it no longer is required of man for by it he has passed from death into the spirit union of life found in Genesis 2:7. Wherein we're to no longer listen to the voice of the flesh which is fear and strife which mans religion promotes, hostility between man and God, man and man, nation against nation, government against government and kingdom of evil against the kingdom of God within mans soul. When mans soul is restored to God as the Father of spirits. For this is the teachings of Jesus who alone is Christ in who the Father of spirits dwelt in fulness in bodily form, reconciling all humanity to Himself.
The Covenant of Grace, the New Covenant of Jeremiah 31 (Hebrews 8:6-13, 13:30) is that by which God engages to bestow salvation in man, upon the condition that man shall believe Christ and yield obedience to the terms of this Gospel and His New Covenant in the principle of Life in Love, Truth, Faith, and Grace in Hope and Joy which are tied together through Christ. Wherein God has bond Himself to do what man couldn't do under the first nor the Old Testament which had many parts but was in total one Covenant. Which had its origin in Genesis 3:15 and 21 and that carried over to Abraham and in him tied to the nations as one people with one Father, the Father of spirit who Jesus introduced a new to Israel. Because Israel had lost sight of Moses teachings, by the evil of mans flesh voice. As Christ in figurative language is therein revealed in His fulness.
Under the Old it was based on mans works of obedience to the spoken Word. While under the New all man is required to do is obey and have trust in Christ' Faith and God's Faithfulness and His finished works. To this Revelation, reveals a war in the heavenlies for mans trusting and compliance to His Faithfulness. Which takes place shortly after Christ opened the seals of the small book of the promised New Covenant which held the secrets or mysteries hidden within the text of the Old. These mysteries were revealed to the Apostle Paul and to him alone but are there for our learning of Him whom they speak. Even to this day does God speak to us through His Son if we but have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to our spirit. We don't need a Prophet but only the ontological essence of Christ restored within our spirit. Jesus taught the kingdom of God within each man and which is known through Love and the turning of the cheek toward all those who do evil. For its upon these illuminations that Christ builds His Church or Body as a separated people called out onto Him as His inheritance of promise found in Psalm 2:6-8, which is also God's divine timetable of events. This Psalm also contains a parenthetical break between verses 8 and 9 which we call the Church Age or the Age of Grace [for the gathering of the peoples onto Christ as His heritage for the work He has accomplished and is still accomplishing just as when He rested after finishing creation with man on the seventh day] which has a time period in duration just as Israel's had but it was broken not by God but when the Hebrews rejected the kingdom offered them. During the three and a half years of Jesus' ministry to the Hebrews wherein He brought them the message of the spiritual kingdom which He represented, as foretold by the scriptures and the Law, Prophets, Psalms and Covenants. For they bear Him witness in totality. And seeing that He was and is the parent tree their branch was broken off.
Hebrews 6:12-20
“That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith (the essence of Christ) and patience inherit the promises (the Genesis 3:15, 21 and 12:2-3). For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, Saying, 'Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.' (Exodus 32:13; Deuteronomy 1:10) And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entered into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.”
To obtain the promise he, Abraham, first was required to patiently endure and so it is also required of us. God places all redeemed peoples within the Old Testaments corral under a tutor, trainer, teacher and guide who in our case is the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of all Truth. For our training and teaching which when properly allowed will bring us through to the revealing of our utter undoneness and sins utter sinfulness and our need of His Salvation. The thing Israel failed to see or understand as they only had the Law as their tutor which they saw as being material or literal and demanding self works, unlike self death, which is where they missed it. Because they only saw the physical and literal application of the Law and all that their artifacts or instruments which where to be used in worship became. Which the Law to them was an yoke to heavy to carry as it demanded mans death for disobedience. As the literal letter of it only kills because there was no life form provided within it. NO wiggle room or repentance. And therefore those of our day who apply all in like fashion or literally, are anti-Christ for they oppose themselves, they kick against to pricks as Saul did.
WISDOM lies in recognizing life as the offspring of the Father of spirits. Sadly people set for themselves the aims of the bodily life, and in so seeking these aims torment themselves and others. But they'll find full satisfaction in this life as meant for them in the life of the spirit (in the still quite voice of the conscious), if they'll accept the doctrine of the spiritual life and of subduing and controlling the bodily voice of the flesh. For the LORD is not slow as many suppose.
2Peter 3:9
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
Exodus 34:5-7
“And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, 'The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.'”
Psalm 16:5
“The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintains my lot.”
Psalm 23:3-6
“He restoreth my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou prepare a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.”
The Covenant of Grace, the New Covenant of Jeremiah 31 (Hebrews 8:6-13, 13:30) is that by which God engages to bestow salvation in man, upon the condition that man shall believe Christ and yield obedience to the terms of this Gospel and His New Covenant in the principle of Life in Love, Truth, Faith, and Grace in Hope and Joy which are tied together through Christ.

But they'll find full satisfaction in this life as meant for them in the life of the spirit (in the still quite voice of the conscious), if they'll accept the doctrine of the spiritual life and of subduing and controlling the bodily voice of the flesh. For the LORD is not slow as many suppose.
2Peter 3:9
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
Exodus 34:5-7
“And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, 'The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.'”
Psalm 16:5
“The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintains my lot.”
Psalm 23:3-6
“He restoreth my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou prepare a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.”

A True an Accurate Meaning of Passover part 17
Romans 11:25-36
“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
For as ye (we, here's where so many get missed up and confused, the "we" relates primarily to Israel because to this day and to the man they don't hear God, they don't understand Him, He is SPIRIT He relates to everything in spiritual language TRUTH and LOVE) in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. 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! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.”
There are untold millions of people out there who only see the Bible as a nice piece of literature written by many people over a vast amount of time. They don't know that its a spiritual book directed toward mans spirit and designed by the Father of spirit to bring them from darkness and sin to Himself and His Love. This has caused me much frustration and concern for my fellow man and perplexes me greatly that there is so much err concerning their final out come and the reason for life in the first place. May that God help me and us who know the Truth be able to reach all with His Truth and not our own opinion or emotional ism but His great Love and reality of Truth.
Now we'll look at Psalm 91:
Psalm 91:1-19
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.”
David is here rehearsing a worship of the Most High God and His Christ because of what he was shown about Him. Both God and Jesus who is God's physical manifestation in a physical body just as Adam and woman were in Genesis chapter 2 and up until they ate of the forbidden fruit in Genesis 3. Jesus came in the spirit of Adam as the second spiritual man conjoined to the Father of spirits. This the prophets saw and looked to know when these things were to be but in many cases were told to say nothing or to close the book an even to eat of it to keep its contents secret until the appointed day and time When He, Jesus would come. As the means of restoring all things to God, the things are man and the world in which man lives.
We should clear the air of meanings between two words used interchangeably these being Testament and Covenant.
Testament: 1. A solemn authentic instrument in writing, by which a person declares his will as to the disposal of his estate and effects after his death. This is otherwise called a will. A testament, to be valid, must be made when the testator is of sound mind, and it must be subscribed, witnessed and published in such manner as the law prescribes.
2. The name of each general division of the canonical books of the sacred Scriptures; as the Old Testament; the New Testament. The name is equivalent to covenant, and in our use of it, we apply it to the books which contain the old and new dispensations; that of Moses, and that of Christ Jesus as revealed through the Apostle Paul.
Covenant: 1. A mutual consent or agreement of two or more persons, to do or to forbear some act or thing; a contract; stipulation. A covenant is created by deed in writing, sealed and executed; or it may be implied in the contract.
2. A writing containing the terms of agreement or contract between parties; or the clause of agreement in a deed containing the covenant.
3. In theology, the covenant of works, is that implied in the commands, prohibitions, and promises of God; the promise of God to man, that mans perfect obedience should entitle him to happiness. This do, and live; that do, and die.
The covenant of redemption, is the mutual agreement between the Father and Son, respecting the redemption of sinners by Christ.
“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
