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.”

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. 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.

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.

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)
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.

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.”

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.

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. 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.”

A True an Accurate Meaning of Passover part 16
So Moses was the first prophet to
reveal the promise to Israel but this fact had been hidden because it
had been lost or purposely removed from the record. Genesis 3:21
reveals that the animal's blood was indeed that of a lamb, and that
lamb as in the Lord's Passovers and indeed the second Passover just before Israel left Egypt when the death angel destroyed the first born of all the land of Egypt, both man and beast. From those first brought about for
Israel's practice of worthship were but shadows of what was to come
through Jesus the Messiah, as the Son of man the Light which shown in darkness. But the blood of the animals
(Genesis 3:21, 14:18; Exodus 12:13, 22; 23:18) had no lasting effect
upon those who practiced this blood letting as this was only an image
or shadow of Christ's sacrifice. Just as Abraham's offering of Isaac
and remember Isaac did not squeal like say a pig does but was silent
as a lamb and of course this was a type of Christ. Just as the wood
laid out may have also been in a figure of a cross on the alter of
the rock. The every rock upon which the Temple of Jerusalem would one
day be built. And He as our mediator takes us through that which He
has done, as our captain and chief, through which also Paul had to
pass to acquire the second blessing. Newness of Life from the death, as
the seed placed by God within all mankind, the fullness of the earths kingdoms, requires our having passed
through this death to give us Eternal Life, now restored within the
Everlasting Covenant, which again Genesis 3 reveals.
Hebrews 13:20-21
“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep (relating only to Israel as the prophet Enoch for told), through the blood of the everlasting covenant (found in Genesis 3:15, 21, not as amny have wrongly supposed in Genesis 12, because they overlook the word "nations"), Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight (becoming children of Light, the seed of woman, spiritually reunited to God the Father of spirits), through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
God's perfect Will, our carrying the cross ever before us, ever on our minds as it was Jesus'. This is the place of our greatest humility and contriteness of heart. The very place of our bruising of the head of the serpent in the voice of the flesh of deceit and all deception our own flesh. Our willingness to submit to God's Will by our giving to Him our self will or self-sufficiency and all that resists Him, as enmity. The very place of our victory over sin and Satan's influence, while we remain in Christ, the Life of God in mans soul in Love, Truth, through Grace and Faith. And we call to remembrance our sacrifices in Him and our being conjoined to Him in the power of an Endless Life, His Life now Lived in us and through us. So the cup and the blood of our LORD, we are to share with Him by death and through the passing through many things along with this death we acquire the promised power of an Endless Life in Him. The imperishable Man of the renewed and restored spirit which was hidden within our soul. And known only to God, but had been spoken of by Moses first and rejected by Israel while in the wilderness which became of sin to them. Which we now know exasperated God.
At the close of Paul's recital of 1 Corinthians 11:23-32 we find a warning for those who partake in an unworthy manor and by doing so exasperate God again, by not properly discerning of the Lord's body and our being one in Him. “Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 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 (the Light, spiritual unity of our own Life restored within us as revealed Truth). 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.”
All of us have in some way taken of the Lord's Last Supper in an unworthy manor because we've followed the traditions of the Orthodoxy of man and his religion. However when we allow the Holy Spirit to minister the Truth of this all important matter we begin to get a clearer picture of understanding and the vital revelation of our own spiritual Life. All is about Christ and His being called out from His place of the ages to come and complete God's plan. For the purpose of restoring man to his rightful place. But until that becomes a fact of life in and on this planet, the voice of mans flesh rules mans soul. This planet is in a constant state of battle between the powers of darkness in mans flesh and the son's of Light though few in number. But we're not left to our own devices we have the host of heaven on our side, so we're to stand in faith to wait and see the Salvation of the LORD.
Romans 11:19-21
“Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.”
Hebrews 13:20-21
“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep (relating only to Israel as the prophet Enoch for told), through the blood of the everlasting covenant (found in Genesis 3:15, 21, not as amny have wrongly supposed in Genesis 12, because they overlook the word "nations"), Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight (becoming children of Light, the seed of woman, spiritually reunited to God the Father of spirits), through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever.

A True an Accurate Meaning of Passover part 15
We're making progress we're at least in page 18 of my notes and so far there's only 33 pages showing. Now back to 2 Corinthians.
2 Corithians 3:6-14
“Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament (Covenant); not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life. But if the ministration of death, written and engraved in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excels. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remains is glorious. Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remains the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.”
Christ is the fullness of all that the Old Testament teaches and reveals of Christ from the beginning in Genesis chapter 1 through to Acts chapter 11, at which point God changes His administration to that of the Holy Spirit totally, and then together with the Spirit of Christ. For “if” 'we have not the Spirit of Christ we are none of His' (Romans 8:9) in others words we don't belong to Him nor does He belong to us. We remain as reprobate, wicked , lawless and useless and good for nothing (the 6-6-6 of man and his false religion) but good only for the fire which is Satan's and his comrades lot. But how is this possible and what else is needed or required? That for which the Holy Spirit in His first or initial giving to us is to bring us, first to obedience, then through obedience and in Love to the embracing of death. But not death as man understands a death but rather as God requires it. Have we heard His voice? In Zechariah chapter 10: 8 it says this: “I will hiss (whistle) for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.” Does this say only the predestined or only those chosen few, are the ones, NO! What is implied here is that all have an equal right of free choice, to choose God and His Way. And this verse is linked to Matthew 11:28; Revelation 22:17 and Isaiah 55:1-3; 1 Timothy 2:4-6.
1 Corinthians 15: 45-58 (Amplified)
“Thus it is written. The first man Adam became a living being an individual personality; (back to verses 42-44 “So it is with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishing and decaying, but the body that is resurrected is imperishable immune to decay, immortal. It is sown in dishonor and humiliation; it is raised in honor and glory. It is sown in infirmity and weakness; it is resurrected in strength and endued with power. It is a natural physical body; it is raised a supernatural a spiritual personality in a body, there is also a spiritual body.”) the last man Adam, Christ, became a Life-giving Spirit restoring the dead to spiritual Life.(Genesis 2:7) But it is not the spiritual life which came first, but the physical and then the spiritual, through Christ. The first man was from out of the earth, made of dust earthy-minded; the second Man is the Lord from out of heaven (Genesis 1:26-27, 2:7). Now those who are made of the dust are like him who was first made of the dust earthy-minded; and as is the Man from heaven, so also are those who are of heaven, heavenly-minded. And just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, so shall we and so let us also bear the image of the Man of heaven. But I tell you this, flesh and blood cannot become partakers of eternal salvation and inherit or share in the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable that which is decaying inherit or share in the imperishable the immortal. Take notice! I tell you a mystery a secret truth, an event decreed by the hidden purpose or counsel of God. We shall not all fall asleep in death, but we shall all be changed transformed In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet call. For a trumpet will sound, and the dead in Christ will be raised imperishable free and immune from decay (though they be planted in the earth in a coffin or not), and we shall be changed transformed. For this perishable part of us must put on the imperishable nature, and this mortal part of us, this nature that is capable of dying must put on immortality freedom from death. And when this perishable puts on the imperishable and this that was capable of dying puts on freedom from death, then shall be fulfilled the Scriptures that say, "Death is swallowed up utterly vanquished forever in and unto victory" (Isaiah 25:8). “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?" (Hosea 13:14) Now sin is the sting of death, and sin exercises its power upon the soul through the abuse of the Law. But thanks be to God, Who gives us victory making us conquerors through our Lord Christ Jesus. Therefore, be firm steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the LORD, knowing and being continually aware that your labor of Love in the LORD is not futile it is never wasted or to no purpose.
This then is the Lord's cup which we are to share with Him now revealed. Now for the Blood.
Hebrews 9:15-20
“And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament (Covenant), that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament (the vow with promise spoken to all man kind in Adam as seen in Genesis 3:15 which contains the following), they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator (the bruising of the Lord's heal and through death the bruising of Satan's head). For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator lives. Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood ( as found in Genesis 3:21) . For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, Saying, "This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you".”
2 Corithians 3:6-14
“Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament (Covenant); not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life. But if the ministration of death, written and engraved in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excels. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remains is glorious. Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remains the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.”

The first man was from out of the earth, made of dust earthy-minded; the second Man is the Lord from out of heaven (Genesis 1:26-27, 2:7). Now those who are made of the dust are like him who was first made of the dust earthy-minded; and as is the Man from heaven, so also are those who are of heaven, heavenly-minded. And just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, so shall we and so let us also bear the image of the Man of heaven. But I tell you this, flesh and blood cannot become partakers of eternal salvation and inherit or share in the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable that which is decaying inherit or share in the imperishable the immortal. Take notice! I tell you a mystery a secret truth, an event decreed by the hidden purpose or counsel of God.

O death, where is your sting?" (Hosea 13:14) Now sin is the sting of death, and sin exercises its power upon the soul through the abuse of the Law. But thanks be to God, Who gives us victory making us conquerors through our Lord Christ Jesus. Therefore, be firm steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the LORD, knowing and being continually aware that your labor of Love in the LORD is not futile it is never wasted or to no purpose.
This then is the Lord's cup which we are to share with Him now revealed. Now for the Blood.
Hebrews 9:15-20
“And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament (Covenant), that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament (the vow with promise spoken to all man kind in Adam as seen in Genesis 3:15 which contains the following), they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

A True an Accurate Meaning of Passover part 14
This study goes
along with Israel’s Blindness as they both now run in parallel to
each other in this dispensational period called the Age of Grace or
the Church Age. What I mean by this is that natural man walks about
his daily life separated from God and His rule or sphere of
influence. He remains out from under the covering of the new
covenant, unaware of the promises of God which form the foundation
upon which the true Church of God stands and that they are redeemed
from the sin nature that they are born into. When the first Love
which was lost but lingers in the heart of hearts of man as the seed
of woman planted there by God shortly after Adam and woman fell and
is witnessed to in Genesis 3:15 is satisfied by the being restored to
its lover. This lost Love is witnessed to in the Song of Songs and
other related areas of scripture as the love of the chase virgin
seeking to be restored in union with her lover and which man if he'll
not remain but a fraud will freely acknowledge as his true state. In
his need for this union and restoration of this Love. This is the
Love Jesus restores through the sacrament of the Lord's Last Supper,
in the Marriage Feast of the Lamb when rightly divided when He both
as the propitiation and consummation of the ages gone before
inaugurated in the New and Living Way through Love to the very heart
of God for all man kind by His vicarious death.
Hebrews 10:8-10
“Above when he said, 'Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;' Then said he, 'Lo, I come to do thy will, O God.' He taketh 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.”
Psalm 40:6-7
“Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. Then said I, 'Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.'”
Psalm 50:8-23
“'I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me. I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds. For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?'
'Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me'. But unto the wicked God saith, 'What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee. When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son. These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.'”
Amos 5:20-27
“Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? (this happened when He was suspended between heaven and earth) 'I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts. Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus', saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.”
Now back to Hebrews chapter 8.
Hebrews 8:7-13
“For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. For finding fault with them, he saith, 'Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not,' saith the Lord. 'For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days', saith the Lord; 'I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more'. In that he saith, 'A new covenant', he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.”
So Paul being a master lawyer, statesmen and builder is making his argument before his audience of Hebrew-Christians, as receiver of and believers in the Messiah and makes good use of the old scriptures to make his point. Which is what we're admonished to do and learn how to do also by the Spirit of Truth. Now we'll look at chapter 12 starting at verse 7.
Hebrews 12:7-8
“If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.”
Hebrews 10:8-10
“Above when he said, 'Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;' Then said he, 'Lo, I come to do thy will, O God.' He taketh 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.”
This
combines the two clauses or verses just before they being verses 5
and 6, but where did Paul get this? From Psalms 40 and then 50 and
we'll look also at Amos while we're here. Again that which the cup
holds as hidden from veiw.
“Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. Then said I, 'Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.'”
Psalm 50:8-23
“'I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me. I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds. For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?'
'Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me'. But unto the wicked God saith, 'What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee. When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.

Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.'”
From
here we'll go to Amos chapter 5.
“Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? (this happened when He was suspended between heaven and earth) 'I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts. Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus', saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.”
Now back to Hebrews chapter 8.
Hebrews 8:7-13
“For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. For finding fault with them, he saith, 'Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not,' saith the Lord.

A True an Accurate Meaning of Passover part 13
There's a host
of others things out there taught us by the worlds corruption through reasoning's
and vain imaginations, and opinions of men which were all laid on the cross in faith. By mans Redeemer Christ Jesus as the seed of woman as promised to Adam. Which seed we all carry within us as a grain of mustard and which will become a pearl of great price to us once we receive the Truth, His Light. When we in trusting Him who
is our need and the answer to all that which is most needed by us, our
Salvation. Then we can be more receptive of His ontological essence and He in it being restored within as at the beginning as seen in Genesis 2.When this happens we no longer are required to take of the alter and table of the Passover Lamb because He has been reseated within His First Temple, our hearts even though the out ward courts of our body are but flesh. It to will one day become in subject to His Life, just as those who received physical healings as recorded and witness by those who saw Him face to face.
John 1:29
“The next day John (the Baptist who is in the spirit of Elijah) seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world"...... And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, "Behold the Lamb of God!”
There are 27 verses which reference the Lamb or the Lamb of God, in the book of Revelation. A book steeped in Hebrew imagery and metaphors which causes mass confusion for many. Just as Jesus' and Paul's language does for the unlearned, those without the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth and or the Spirit of Christ.
Romans 8:3-4
“For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”
This is to be the end result of our being placed by God within the first estate, with the deposit of the Holy Spirit as our comforter, tutor, teacher and trainer. Israel had only the Law as its tutor, with its statutes and ordinances. Here we can see the cup as being our flesh being filled as it were with sin or the very nature of Satan, the strong man until the ontological essence of the stronger one the Spirit of Christ moves in.
Isaiah 53:11-12
“He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.”
All of Isaiah 53 causes problems with Israels priests. Some have erased a period of one hundred to one hundred thirty or fifty years from their history. In order to remove this chapter and to deny it and Christ's existence. A block of offense and a stone of stumbling for them, the cup of the garden again revealed.
Acts 13:38-39
“Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.”
So the Law of Moses does not justify any one. Why? Because it only deals with mans external and material world and requires man's self sufficiency in some kind of works proving obedience or compliance to and with the Law and because it is weak and beggarly to say the least. So it was not able to do any thing but judge man, and condemn to death as the literal letter, except through Christ Jesus. He was the Law giver and as such knew all its meanings and ramifications. For the Law was and still is Spiritual but to see it one has to be born of the Spirit again, for it is righteous. To see this just study the sermon on the Mount found in Matthew chapters 5-7. Here again we find the cup as Jesus told the religious establishment of His day all they could do was to wash the outside of the cup as they had NO revelation of what was unseen on the inside.
For
as Paul reveals all who partake of it (our Marriage Feast) do so in an unworthy manor and are therefore guilty of both the blood and the cross of
Christ because they have no knowledge of Him. We can not crucify
again the LORD, which this ritual, sacrament of habit and common
practice does. It does so because of the blindness and veil which
remains covering mans heart, eyes and ears in the deceitfulness of
religion.
I
bring to mind the story of Lazarus the friend of Christ who died and
was four days under the stone of the tomb as recorded by John in
chapter 11. Sometime back while in a church service the Lord gave me
revelation of what this story meant which I shared with the
congregation there at the time. The grave clothes and binding are
metaphors of all that religion is and does and Lazarus is our being
the coming out the loosing from among them found in 2 Corinthians 6:12-7:1. Just
as Abram came out from Ur and Israel was summoned from Egypt and Noah
and his house were summoned from the doomed world into the arch of
Christ. Now we'll get back to our study:
“The next day John (the Baptist who is in the spirit of Elijah) seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world"...... And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, "Behold the Lamb of God!”
There are 27 verses which reference the Lamb or the Lamb of God, in the book of Revelation. A book steeped in Hebrew imagery and metaphors which causes mass confusion for many.
