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.
