    Each genuine Christian is a set aside “sanctified” a predestined person, gifted with believing IN Jesus faith, forgiveness of sin and eternal life. Only in Jesus is eternal life. Jesus identifies His church through Hebrews as; “Those He isn’t ashamed to call brethren.” Heb 2:11)

       The expression “all things under His control” occurs three times in scripture and in Hebrews 2:8, is the latter two occurrences. Not exactly identical to the Greek text, at Psalms 8:6, & quoted at the beginning. The Hebrews writer fits his understanding of “Psalms 8: praise song” showing us clearly how David viewed his Lord.

    (Ps 8:1-9: O Lord, our Lord, how magnificent is Your reputation throughout the earth! You reveal Your majesty in the heavens above! From the mouths of children and nursing babies You have ordained praise on account of Your adversaries, so that You might put an end to the vindictive enemy. When I look up at the heavens, which Your fingers made, and see the moon and the stars, which You set in place, of what importance is the human race, that You should notice them? Of what importance is mankind, that You should pay attention to them, and make them a little less than the heavenly beings? You grant mankind honor and majesty; You appoint them to rule over Your creation; You have placed everything under their authority, including all the sheep and cattle, as well as the wild animals, the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea and everything that moves through the currents of the seas. O Lord, our Lord, how magnificent is Your reputation throughout the earth!) We Believers IN are gifted with Jesus’ faith as was David.

    (Heb 2:10-13; For it was fitting for Him, (Jesus) for whom and through whom all things exist, (See John 1:1-5 & Colossians 1:15-20 also) in bringing many sons to glory, to make the pioneer of their salvation (Jesus) perfect through sufferings. For indeed He (Jesus) who makes holy and those being made holy all have the same origin, and so He is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters, saying, “I will proclaim Your name to My brothers; in the midst of the assembly I will praise You.” (Quote from Psalms 22:22) (13) Again He says, “I will be confident in Him,” and again, “Here I am, with the children God has given Me.” (Quote from Isaiah 8:17-18.)

    The first begotten of God the Father and Pioneer of our salvation is Jesus. He was made perfect through suffering. (Hebrews 5:8-10 confirms; “Although Jesus was a Son, He learned obedience through the things He suffered. And by being perfected in this way, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, and He was designated by God “the Father” as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.”)

   Speaking spiritually, Jesus and all God’s Elect have the same origin “in that all are born of woman with physical life in the blood and born spiritually from above.

   The good news, (gospel) is that God the Father is creating His spiritual family from flesh and blood people. Leading each to overcome lawlessness “sin” in His view and for His name sake.

   (Heb 2:14-18; Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He (Jesus) likewise shared in their humanity, so that through death He could destroy the one who holds the power of death (that is, the devil), and set free those who were held in slavery all their lives by their fear of death. For surely His concern is not for angels, but He is concerned for Abraham’s descendants. Therefore He, (Jesus) had to be made like His brothers and sisters in every respect, so that He could become a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people. For since He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are tempted.)

   Abraham’s spiritual descendants are those who obey Jesus and shun what He declares evil, because they love Him. Fear is bondage and believing IN Jesus promises freedom from that bondage. So how and where does such freedom originate? From God the Father who does the calling, “opens minds and reveals Jesus.”

   (John 6:37; All that the Father gives Me shall come to Me; and they that comes to Me I will in no wise cast out.)

   Believers are gifted with minds agreeing with Jesus. (Believing that, is NOT believing IN.) Many in them (in the believing THAT category) assume that a person can choose the time of their repentance, ‘when to get saved that is’, when to publicly and verbally confess Jesus as the Christ and thus be saved is their theory. The problem with that belief is, (that’s works and it isn’t God’s Way.) God’s Way is that He chooses, (calls and reveals Himself through Jesus, open minds and grant genuine repentance.)

    (Heb 3:1-2: Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partners in a heavenly calling, take note of Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess, who is faithful to the One who appointed Him, as Moses was also in God’s house.)

   Consider: As a people Israel was not begotten of the holy spirit but under covenant law, ‘practically looking to Moses and the law.’ (Heb 3:3-6; “For Jesus has come to deserve greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house deserves greater honor than the house itself! For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. Now Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, to testify to the things that would be spoken. But Christ is faithful as a Son over God’s house. We are of His house, if in fact we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope we take pride in.)

    Followers of the Jesus, (as manifested to be in the holy scriptures) are partakers of THE heavenly calling and profess to be HIS WAY people! Jesus is worthy because He is the master builder. Through Jesus, God the Father created all things. Moses, the holy prophets and Christians are of His building!

   Christians are His temple, IF we hold fast, the faith of Jesus and stay true to God the Father’s calling. NOW the Hebrews writer quotes Psalms 95:7-11.

   (Heb 3:7-11; Therefore, the holy spirit says; “Oh, that today you would listen as He speaks! “Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness. (There your fathers tested Me and tried Me and they saw My works for forty years. Therefore, I became provoked at that generation and said, ‘Their hearts are always wandering and they have not known My ways.) “As I swore in My anger, ‘They will never enter My Rest!’”)

   Physical Israelites nor (do believers that) understand God’s Way. They see God through their inherited fleshly nature. (Looking to laws as they see them rather than the law giver.) Israelites looked to Moses (the house) rather than Creator, Jesus the Master Builder. (The Hebrews writer we believe to be Paul, is writing to converted Hebrews.) People to whom Jesus is revealed. A people confessing faith in Jesus’ blood sacrifice, His being our Intercessor, Lord and coming King. Today the many denominations are divided with many interpretations & see their god through their fleshly nature.

   NOT the God that set aside His Seasons & Sabbaths. (Heb 3:12-19; See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has an evil, unbelieving heart that forsakes the living God. But exhort one another each day, (as long as it is called, Today) that none of you may become hardened by sin’s deception. For we (Christians) have become partners with Christ, if in fact we hold our initial confidence firm until the end. As it says, “Oh, that Today you would listen as He speaks! Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” For which ones heard and rebelled? Was it not all who came out of Egypt under Moses’ leadership? And against whom was God provoked for forty years? Was it not those who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear they would never enter into His Rest, except those who were disobedient? So we see that they could not enter because of unbelief.)

    As partners with Christ, Believers IN seek to know and support His Views. Seek to enter His Rest. (Believers IN are gifted with His desire to turn from what seems right to our fleshly outlook, because we’re led to understand that our inherited rationale wants to appease self rather than practice His Way.) Unbelief is sin and only the called Believers IN can be, “gifted with the imputation of God’s spiritual law to the mind.”

    Worldly religions can’t grasp spiritual discernment. Paul explained to the Corinthian church. (But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”) See 1Cor 2:14)

    May we each be led to pray for spiritual understanding. (Heb 4:1-2; Therefore we must be wary that, while the promise of entering His Rest remains open, none of you may seem to have come short of it. For we had good news proclaimed to us just as they did. But the message they heard did them no good, since they did not join in with those who heard it in faith.)

  The Patriarchs heard in faith and were led to rely on believing IN faith, “in the One promising.” They entered God’s Rest through His gifted faith. Remember all these things are written for our learning. (Romans 15:4)

    (Heb 4:3-7; For we who have believed enter that Rest, as He has said, “As I swore in My anger, ‘They will never enter My Rest!’ And yet God’s works were accomplished from the foundation of the world. For He has spoken somewhere about the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works,” but to repeat the text cited earlier: “They will never enter My Rest!” Therefore, it remains for some to enter it, yet those to whom it was previously proclaimed did not enter because of disobedience. So, God again ordains a certain day, “Today” speaking through David after so long a time, as in the words quoted before, “O, that Today you would listen as He speaks! Do not harden your hearts.) (Obedient Believers IN have entered that rest!) Unbelievers will enter when Jesus is revealed during His millennial rule. See Joel 3:

   Some denominational theologians give much attention to accurately pronouncing God’s name. Judean’s and Jehovah Witnesses particularly. Jesus inspired Isaiah to write, (Isa 42:8; I am the Lord! That is My name! I will not share My glory with anyone else, or the praise due Me with idols.)

(Isa 52:6; For this reason, My people will know My name, for this reason they will know at that time that I am the One who says, ‘Here I am.’”) In English “The I AM” “I AM LORD” “I AM GOD” or “I AM HE” is accurate when thinking in terms of Israel, Creator, Re-Creator, Deliverer and Savior.”

    Ezek 39:7-8; I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel; I will not let My holy name be profaned anymore. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. Realize that it is coming and it will be done, declares the Sovereign Lord. It is the day I have spoken about.)

    Believers IN, “followers of Jesus” are heirs with Abraham for salvation.” In prayer, should think, “God of Abraham” is accurate, Jesus made him a friend. (See Galatians 3:29) To believers Jesus said; “You are My friends, if you do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you NOT servants; for the servant knows not what his Lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of My Father I have MADE known unto you.” John 15:15)

    Not only are genuine Christians Jesus’ friends; we’re NOT friends with this world’s system of things. Our Lord’s brother James taught it.

    (“You adulterers and adulteresses, know you not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” James 4:4)

     Obedience to Jesus is to Believe IN Him, “as in practicing His Way and considering His Ways superior to what may seem right to our human minds.”

     (Hebrews 2:1-4; Therefore, believers must pay closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. For if the message spoken through angels proved to be so firm that every violation or disobedience received its just penalty, how will we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was first communicated through the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, while God confirmed their witness with signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will.)

    God is allowing the whole world to be subjected to Satan thinking. Thus, unbelieving people live the way that seems right. God knew that outcome, the divisions and how the fleshly mind would play into Satan’s hand and knew he’d attempt to bring about a semblance of world peace while turning the world from God’s truth.

    The first Believers IN Jesus practiced His ‘Judeo Christian Way’ of love and His apostles were led to teach the spiritual magnification of the law. As prophesied, there have always been some scattered true Believers and these have always been hated, “as was Jesus” and persecuted by mainstream.

  During the apostles day many persecutions were publicized. Jesus’ brother, “Jude” wrote in his short letter, that the apostate was already prevalent. Counterfeit churches have grown speedily from before 100AD, to present. Organized apostate thinkers persecuted, killing true Believers and causing many to go underground. We’ll get Paul’s overview of this in Hebrew chapter 11: Counterfeit churches refer to Believers as heretics, because they didn’t believe in God the Father, God the Son and refused to be submissive.

    (Hebrews 2:5-9; For God did not put the world to come, about which we are speaking, under the control of angels. But one in a certain place testified, saying, ‘what is man, that You are mindful of him? or the Son of Man, that You visit Him? You made Him “Jesus” a little lower than the angels; You crowned Him “Jesus” with glory, honor, and did set Him over the works of Your hands: You have put all things in subjection under His feet. For in that He put all in subjection under Him, He left nothing that is not put under Him, but now we see not yet all things put under Him. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels FOR the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that He, by the grace of God should taste death for every man.)

    Flesh and blood people are made a little lower than angels! In the flesh, Jesus was a little lower than angels, only to taste death for every man. Now our Creator ‘Jesus’ can take charge of any situation at any time, and now about the business of allowing unbelieving mankind follow, the way of confusion, which will become more chaotic as the end unfolds.

   Before Jesus is revealed individually, people live and practiced according to what seemed right to their inherited fleshly minds, led to shun old practices. Paul explains to Christians.

   (Ephesians 2:2-9; Wherein in time past you, (who were once unbelievers) walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, (Satan) the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we ALL had our conduct in times past in the LUST of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by NATURE the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, Even when we were DEAD in sins, has quickened us together with Christ, (by grace you are saved;) And HAS raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.)

    The Author of confusion is in this world, “he’s not of God, but by permission of God.’ (1 Cor 14:33; For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the Saints.)

   (Hebrews 2:10; For it became Him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Captain of their salvation (Jesus) perfect through sufferings.) His bringing many people into glory” define His Saints.

    (Hebrews 2:11-12; For both He that sanctifies and they who are sanctified are all OF ONE: for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren, Saying, I will declare Your name unto My brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto You.) Sanctified people are those “at one” with one another and Jesus.

    (Hebrews 2:13-16; And again, I will put My trust in Him. And again, Behold I and the children which God HAS GIVEN Me. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through DEATH He might destroy him (Satan) that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily He (Jesus) took NOT on Him the NATURE of angels; but He took on Him the SEED of Abraham.) Remember Jesus said; God the Father does the calling.

   (John 6:37-40; All that the Father GIVES Me shall come to Me; and him that comes to Me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, NOT to do MY own will, but the will of HIM that sent Me. And this is the Father’s will which has sent Me, that of all which He has GIVEN Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it (them) up again at the last day. And this is the will of Him that sent Me, that everyone which SEES the Son, and believes ON Him, may have EVERLASTING LIFE: and I will raise him up at the LAST DAY.)

    Believers are led to turn from, (repent for having lived in error) and thus make God’s Word center thoughts and deeds. (Meditating on God’s Word is purifying spiritual growth.)

   Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life, “only in Him is the absence of superstition regarding religion.” All religions apart from His truth are demonically inspired. Jesus’ Way is laid out by His commandments, “it’s the moral code good for all humanity.” Jesus’ Truth is His Word and The Life hinges on believing IN Jesus.

    All except those to whom God calls, reveals Himself and leads are allowed to go the way that seems right to their instinctive fleshly nature inherited from Adam. Thus, manufactured gods and doctrines. Allow Jesus’ explanation through Paul. (As always study the whole.)

    (Romans 8:5-11; For those who live according to the flesh have their outlook shaped by the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit have their outlook shaped by the things of the Spirit. For the outlook of the flesh is death, but the outlook of the Spirit is life and peace, because the outlook of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to the law of God, nor is it able to do so. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. You, ‘Believers IN’ however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is your life because of “Jesus’” righteousness. Moreover, if the Spirit of the One who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the One who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through His Spirit who lives in you.) Eternal life is only through God’s gifted spirit.

    (Rom 8:12-17; So then, brothers and sisters, we ’Believers’ are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh (for if you live according to the flesh, you will die), but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery leading again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba, Father. (God’s Spirit bears witness to our spirit that we are God’s children.) And if children, then heirs (namely, heirs of God and also fellow heirs with Christ) – if indeed we suffer with Him so we may also be glorified with Him.) (See Gal 3:29.)

     One of the many superstitions brought forward is the heaven/hell doctrine adapted from the pagan god Molech. (See Jeremiah 7;31, 19:5-6 & 32:35.) Many translations use hell, rather that the correct ‘Gehenna’, which is the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew words (ge Hinnom) (Valley of Hinnom). This was the valley along the south side of Jerusalem. In Old Testament times it was used for human sacrifices to the pagan god Molech and came to be used as a place where human excrement and rubbish were disposed of and burned. In the inter testamental period, it came to be used symbolically as the place of divine punishment, adapted from Molech paganism. (See 1z En. 27:2, 90:26; 4 Ezra 7:36).

   (Jesus’ gospel is about God the Father’s calling, revelations, born from above viva His spirit gifted, a resurrection to the spiritual likeness of Jesus, Jesus’ apostles and Saints ruling with Jesus, Israel’s deliverance to borders promised Abraham, a second death to those described at Revelations 21:8, New Jerusalem’s coming down with God the Father and more.)Individual followers of Jesus, are His church, (temple of God are His people. fathered by God, and His Elect, gifted with the mind of Christ. Those to whom aren’t likely to be deceived. (See Matthew 24:22-26, Isaiah 42: 45:4-8; 65:9-10; 65:22-25; Romans 8:33-34 and Col 3:12-15.

      Consider each apostles salutation. Particularly Peters, here and now.

    (1Peter 1:1-2; From Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those temporarily residing abroad (in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, the province of Asia, and Bithynia) who are chosen, “Elect” according to the foreknowledge of God the Father by being set apart by His Spirit for obedience and for sprinkling with Jesus Christ’s blood. May grace and peace be yours in full measure!” (1Pet 1:3-9; Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By His great mercy He gave us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, that is, into an inheritance imperishable, undefiled, and unfading. It is, reserved in heaven for you, who by God’s power, are protected through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. This brings you great joy although you may have to suffer for a short time in various trials. Such trials show the proven character of your faith, which is much more valuable than gold, gold that is tested by fire, even though it is passing away – and will bring praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. You have not seen Him, but you love Him. You do not see Him now, but you believe in Him, and so you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, because you are attaining the goal of your faith – the salvation of your souls.)

    Review The Gospel as defined above. (Its eternal life through the Son of God’s shed blood.) Blood sacrifices always looked forward to Jesus’ shed blood for the remission of sin. We all inherited eternal death through Adam’s disobedience, but followers of Jesus are gifted with eternal life, through our believing IN His shed blood for the remission of sin. This, Satan don’t want us knowing or believing. Review.

   Satan said to Eve; Is it really true that God said, ‘You must not eat from any tree of the orchard’? The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit from the trees of the orchard; but concerning the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the orchard. God said, ‘You must not eat from it, and you must not touch it, or else you will die.’” The serpent said to the woman, “Surely you will not die, for God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will open and you will be like divine beings who know good and evil.” Gen 3:2-5 )

    Satan is saying, “God lied, He don’t want  you to know about the resurrections and a second death. (Review Rev 21:8) He wants us to believe “people are born immortal.” That people have the capacity to know good and evil in and of ourselves. The world has been believing that lie, and. manufacturing their own religions ever since. The writer of Hebrews shares Jesus’ good news. The book is about beginnings, the future, love, Jesus’ doctrine and faith. We can’t conjure up “knowing faith or believing IN faith.” We can’t choose to become a Believer, as in “being born from above - fathered” any more than we could have chosen our own fleshly parent or gender. Likewise, we can’t know or worship our Creator in spirit and truth, nor be submissive to His will, until, spiritually fathered by Him. (We can’t love God and desire a oneness with Him until He reveals His love in us.)

    From our fleshly inherited from Adam outlook, we desire to please ourselves, fit in with family and community. Jesus teaches this is the broad way that the many are destined to adhere to. The Hebrews writer explains.

   (Hebrews 1:1-5; God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, by whom also He MADE the worlds; Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Being made so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. For unto which of the angels said He at any time, “You are My Son, this day have I begotten You?” And again, “I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son?”)

    Time frame between Jesus’ ascension and His return is defined as “the last days.” In these latter days spiritual knowledge has increased prophesied through Daniel. It seems that, only through God the Father’s Son. “Jesus” and only to this latter age is the knowledge of God’s master plan revealed to His chosen, “Elect.” Jesus’ revelations to John the apostle clarifies to Believers, “prophesies given through Daniel and others.”

     Jesus has purged His followers’ sins by dying on our behalf and is now our ONLY Mediator to His Father. God the Father has created all things through God the Son, “Jesus.” (See John 1:1-5 and Colossians 1:15-20) Jesus is the Lord God revealed in the Old Testament! It was preplanned that Jesus would forsake His position, live in the flesh, shed His blood as a sacrifice for our sins and be our Savior. Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice Isaac looked forward to God the Father sacrificing His only begotten Son. All blood sacrifices looked forward to Jesus’ own.

   Fulfilling all the prophets written about Him, “Jesus was begotten, “fathered” by God the Father, born to the virgin “Mary” live in the flesh, experience and learn from the things He suffered. He’s the Christian’s Shepherd, Savior, Brother, Lord of Lords and King of Kings. He was subjected to human temptations, yet without sin. Jesus gave of Himself, always being subject to His Father, became the ultimate sacrifice, allowing Himself to be crucified and the atonement for our sins. God the Father resurrected Jesus after allowing Him to spend three nights and three days in a tomb. “Jesus said, this would be the world’s ONLY sign given.” (Jesus was resurrected to eternal life by the power of God the Father, to be the firstborn among His followers. He is the Christian’s High Priest, Intercessor and Head of His Church. With the glory of God, the Father, Jesus is coming back to rule with power. When Satan is bound, all people will know about Jesus and submit to His Kingdom rule, “until Satan is released to go out and deceive again.” People Satan will be successful with will die a second death. (See Revelations 2:11 , 20:6, 10:14 & 21:8)

   (Hebrews 1:6-12; And again, when He brings in the first-begotten into the world, He said, “And let all the angels of God worship Him.” And of the angels He said, “Who makes His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire.” But unto the Son He said, “Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your fellows.” (And, You, Lord, in the beginning has laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the WORKS of Your hands: they shall perish; but You remain; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; And as a vesture shall You fold them up, and they shall be changed: but You are the same, and Your years shall not fail.) But to which of the angels said He at any time, “Sit on My right hand, until I make Your enemies Your footstool?”)

    These themes and quotations are from Deuteronomy, and a quote from Psalms 104:4. Jesus’ eternal position and His sacrifice for the sins of mankind was in THE master plan before Adam was created! The world cannot fathom such an awesome God, YET.

    After a parable about the Kingdom of God and telling His apostles “the last will be first and the first last” Jesus took the twelve aside privately, explained that He would be crucified and be raised the third day. About His coming kingdom, a mother ask that her two sons sit one on His right and left. (Matt 20:22-23; Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you are asking! Are you able to drink the cup I am about to drink?” They said to Him, “We are able.” He told them, “You will drink My cup, but to sit at My right and at My left is not mine to give. Rather, it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father.)

    Satan knows God’s purpose in creating mankind in His likeness and knows the scriptures better than most. When tempting Jesus, among the scriptures quoted was, (Psalms 91:11-12; For He will order His angels to protect you in all you do. They will lift you up in their hands, so you will not slip and fall on a stone.)

   (Luke 4:9-13; Then the devil brought Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the highest point of the temple, and said to Him, “If you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here, for it is written, ‘He will command His angels concerning You, to protect You,’ and ‘with their hands they will lift You up, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’” Jesus answered him, “It is said, ‘You are not to put the Lord your God to the test.’” So when the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from Him until a more opportune time.) Satan knows these promises are also to Believers.  

   God revealed His coming kingdom to Nebuchadnezzar through Daniel around 600 BC, before Assyrian was overthrown by the Medes/Persians. The king had a dream no one could interpret, he was so angry that he ordered all the wise men of Babylon be destroyed. After Daniel ask the executioner why the decree was so urgent, He ask that he might disclose the interpretation. After informing his friends Hanannah and Mishael, they prayed for mercy from the God of Heaven so they wouldn’t be destroyed.    

  (Dan 2:19-22; Then in a night vision the mystery was revealed to Daniel. So Daniel praised the God of heaven, saying, “Let the name of God be praised forever and ever, for wisdom and power belong to Him. He changes times and seasons, deposing some kings and establishing others. He gives wisdom to the wise; He imparts knowledge to those with understanding; He reveals deep and hidden things. He knows what is in the darkness, and light resides with Him.” After giving thanks, Daniel ask for a meeting with the king.

  (Dan 2:27-28; Daniel replied to the king, “The mystery that the king is asking about is such that no wise men, astrologers, magicians, or diviners can possibly disclose it to the king. However, there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the times to come. The dream and the visions you had while lying on your bed are as follows.”

   (Dan 2:29-30; As for you, O king, while you were in your bed your thoughts turned to future things. The Revealer of mysteries has made known to you what will take place. As for me, this mystery was revealed to me not because I possess more wisdom than any other living person, but so that the king may understand the interpretation and comprehend the thoughts of your mind.”

      (Dan 2:37-43; You, O king, are the king of kings. The God of heaven has granted you sovereignty, power, strength, and honor. Wherever human beings, wild animals, and birds of the sky live – he has given them into your power. He has given you authority over them all. You are the head of gold. Now after you another kingdom will arise, one inferior to yours. Then a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule in all the earth. Then there will be a fourth kingdom, one strong like iron. Just like iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything, and as iron breaks in pieces all of these metals, so it will break in pieces and crush the others. In that you were seeing feet and toes partly of wet clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom. Some of the strength of iron will be in it, for you saw iron mixed with wet clay. In that the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, the latter stages of this kingdom will be partly strong and partly fragile. And in that you saw iron mixed with wet clay, so people will be mixed with one another without adhering to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.” Remember Jesus spoke of love waxing cold?

   (Dan 2:44 In the days of those kings the God of heaven will raise up an everlasting kingdom that will not be destroyed and a kingdom that will not be left to another people. It will break in pieces and bring about the demise of all these kingdoms. But it will stand forever. You saw that a stone was cut from a mountain, but not by human hands; it smashed the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold into pieces. The great God has made known to the king what will occur in the future. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is reliable.”

   Righteousness that includes peace, judgment, prosperity and Saints ruling with Jesus is on the horizon. New Jerusalem’s coming down was planned long before Daniel’s prophecy. God’s kingdom revolves around His promises to Abraham. Twelve gates are named for the twelve tribes of Israel and Jesus’ twelve apostles represent the foundation to God’s Way. God’s kingdom is built on love as expressed through His apostles. His revelations and callings look forward to His people literally becoming at one with the Lamb and Himself. “Jesus revealed it to John and we Believers IN.

   (Rev 21:9-14; Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came and spoke to me, (John) saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb!” (God’s church) So He took me away in the Spirit to a huge, majestic mountain and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God. The city possesses the glory of God; its brilliance is like a precious jewel, like a stone of crystal-clear jasper. It has a massive, high wall with twelve gates, with twelve angels at the gates, and the names of the twelve tribes of the nation of Israel are written on the gates. There are three gates on the east side, three gates on the north side, three gates on the south side and three gates on the west side. The wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them are the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.)

    Followers of Jesus are built on this foundation. We’re the bride of Christ; “at one with the Son of God and God the Father.”

    God’s love extends to called non-Israelites. Jesus’ apostle Paul explains.

   (Ephesians 2:11-22; Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh – who are called “un-circumcision” by the so-called “circumcision” that is performed on the body by human hands – that you were at that time without the Messiah, alienated from the citizenship of Israel “those God fights for” and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who used to be far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He is our peace, the One who made both groups into one and who destroyed the middle wall of partition, the hostility, when He nullified in His flesh the law of commandments in decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of two, thus making peace, and to reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by which the hostility has been killed. And He came and preached peace to you, “gentiles” who were far off and peace to those who were near, so that through Him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. So, then you “called gentiles” are no longer foreigners and non-citizens, but you are fellow citizens with the Saints and members of God’s household, because you “as are Christian Israelites” have been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the Cornerstone. In Him the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you “gentiles” also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.”)

   All these things are foreshadowed in the keeping of God’s Sabbaths - revealed to Believers IN - Christians.

   God’s set aside weekly Sabbath, “the seventh day” foreshadows our being at rest from our own fleshly works. At rest from living the get way that leads to death, the way our inherited from Adam nature pulls us toward, prior to God’s calling, revealing and our turning “repenting.”

  The family of God “Christians” are heirs with Abraham, spiritually born from above, inheriting eternal life. (Humanly speaking, “people are heirs by birth or adoption.” When an individual is spirit led to genuinely seek the God of Abraham, it’s a calling.) When spirit led, “it’s God’s choosing, not our works.” Chosen to overcome self serving fleshly desires and Satan’s deceptions.

   Remember Jesus’ Words, “For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the Elect.” Matt 24:24. Jesus offered a parable on this subject and when His disciples did not understand, He explained.

   (“Now the parable means this: The seed is the word of God. Those along the path are the ones who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the Word from their hearts, so that they may NOT believe and be SAVED. Those “seed” on the rock are the ones who receive the Word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. “no knowing faith in God’s promises” They believe for a while, but in a time of testing “trials” fall away. As for the seed that fell among thorns, these are the ones who hear, “understand” but as they go on their way they are CHOKED by the worries and riches and PLEASURES of life, and their fruit does not mature. But as for the seed that landed on GOOD SOIL, these are the ones who, after hearing the word, CLING TO IT with an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with steadfast endurance.” Luke 8:11-15)

   THAT THEY MAY NOT BELIEVE AND BE SAVED? Believing IN is key! Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph and Jesus’ apostles were led to believe IN. They encountered others that believed a God was real, but they also practiced divination and the like. Remember the ruler who thought to take Sarah? When God revealed Sarah belonged to Abraham he acted in belief, but there is no indication that he believed IN, as in yielding his life as did Abraham.

   “Believers IN are servants to Jesus’ Way.” NOT to worldly tradition! NOT to the way of a church! The apostle Paul wrote. (“What then? If some did not believe, does their unbelief nullify the faithfulness of God? Absolutely not! Let God be proven true, and every human being shown up as a liar, just as it is written: “so that you will be justified in your words and will prevail when you are judged.” Romans 3;4) Our individual fleshly beliefs mean nothing to our Creator. Paul explained it to Timothy.

   (“If we are unfaithful, He remains faithful, since He cannot deny Himself.

Remind people of these things and solemnly charge them before the Lord

not to wrangle over words. This is of no benefit; it just brings ruin on those

who listen. Make every effort to present yourself before God as a proven

worker who does not need to be ashamed, teaching the message of truth

accurately. 2 Tim 2:13-15) We’re prayerfully doing just that. Believing IN

compels that we wait on God’s promises as did the Patriarchs.

To: 35,415 subscribers we pray are being made “temples of God’s Spirit.” 4/21/22, God’s 1^st Mo. Nisan 20, 5,782 until sunset.  

  All people are fleshly minded until God miraculously changes the nature we inherited from Adam. Its why democracies can’t stand for long, ‘people like sheep need shepherding’, our nature divides us and Satan makes good use of it. Its why people like to have rule over one another, ‘like Satan they want to have sway over how the other thinks.’ Followers of Jesus are taught not to boast of their understanding except in the Lord, taught not to debate with unbelievers etc. (Rom 8:9- 11; You, (followers of Me) however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is your life because of righteousness. Moreover if the Spirit of the One who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the One who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through his Spirit who lives in you.) 

   As observed in Old and the New Covenant comparisons, fleshly people don’t get the connection that the old and new was established after the flood between God and Abraham; ‘carried forward to his heirs’, namely Israel and Jesus’ followers. The gospel of God’s kingdom on earth was preached long before by Enoch “the seventh from Adam.” Our Lord’s brother “Jude” shared that God’s kingdom on earth was coming and taught by Enoch long before the flood, ‘then to Noah, Shem, Abraham etc.’

   (Jude 1:11-15; Woe to them! For they (unbelievers) have traveled down Cain’s path, and because of greed have abandoned themselves to Balaam’s error; hence, they will certainly perish in Korah’s rebellion. These men are dangerous reefs at your love feasts, feasting without reverence, feeding only themselves. They are waterless clouds, carried along by the winds; autumn trees without fruit – twice dead, uprooted; wild sea waves, spewing out the foam of their shame; wayward stars for whom the utter depths of eternal darkness have been reserved.) (That’s a second death.)

  ((People like Cain ‘the unbelieving brother’ thought to sacrifice (worship) as seemed right to himself. Abel “the Believing one” yielded to and worshiped as God prescribed. Balaam’s error was that he wanted the riches offered by Balak. (See Numbers 22:10-31; In part: Balaam said to Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, God has sent a message to me, saying, “Look, a nation has come out of Egypt, and it covers the face of the earth. Come now and put a curse on them for me; perhaps I will be able to defeat them and drive them out.” But God said to Balaam, “You must not go with them; you must not curse the people, for they are blessed.”) ((Balaam looked to omens but knew he couldn’t go against the God of Israel, when Moab’s rulers wanted him to curse Israel. He kept allowing Moab’s temptations; finally he shared blame for Israel’s sins, saying, “Look, these people through the counsel of Balaam caused the Israelites to act treacherously against the Lord in the matter of Peor – which resulted in the plague among the community of the Lord!”))

  Rebels such as Cain, Balaam, Korah and teachers with erroneous messages are as (waterless clouds, carried along by the winds; autumn trees without fruit – twice dead, uprooted; wild sea waves, spewing out the foam of their shame; wayward stars for whom the utter depths of eternal darkness have been reserved according to Enoch and Jude.))

  God’s promise to Abraham regarding Israel, was not only a deliverance, but a calling out from sins, ‘the message was a call from bondage to freedom in God.’ A moral, law was given to abide ‘in the way as believing IN God.’ Israelites’ agreeing to be obedient was for their good.

   God’s New Covenant is a covenant of faith, “a believing IN Jesus’ sacrifice as the Lamb of God,” (Believing IN God as the New Covenant prescribes doesn’t do away with, but magnifies the law. As physical circumcision looks forward to circumcision of the heart.)

   Matthew demonstrates Jesus’ magnifications. (Matt 5:27-28; You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to desire her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.)

  Old Covenant and New Covenants are with Abraham’s predestined descendants, a people God reveals Himself to. (God the Son-Jesus revealed Himself to Israel through Moses.) The New Covenant is with Abraham’s called out predestined heirs (spiritual Israelites-Christians.) People whom God makes at one with Himself through His gifted Holy Spirit. Allow Paul’s explanation.

  (Gal 3:26-29; For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith. For all of you who were baptized (immersed)  into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female – for all of you  in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to the promise.)

  Fleshly Israelites and all unconverted people need the law as a school master ‘a custodian if you please.’

   (Gal 3:23-26; Now before (Jesus’) faith came we were held in custody under the law, being kept as prisoners until the (His) coming faith would be revealed. Thus, the law had become our guardian until Christ, so that we could be declared righteous by (His) faith. But now that (Jesus’) faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian. For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through (His) faith.”)

  Jesus, explaining to Nicodemus about being born from above, saying; “I tell you the solemn truth, unless a person is born of water and spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must all be born from above.’ The wind blows wherever it will, and you hear the sound it makes, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.) The New Covenant is with a people immersed in Jesus, a predestined called out people gifted with a spiritual believing IN Jesus mind.

  Believing IN Jesus’ fulfillment as The Christ, giving His life for the remission of sin is the New Covenant between God and a predestined believing IN people, ‘a called gifted with desire to obey and please that One, as their Creator and Savior. (It’s a gifted belief IN Jesus’ shed blood for the remission of sin. Spiritually believing IN, compels obedience, Paul explains to the called.

   (2Thes 1:5-12; This is evidence of God’s righteous judgment, to make you worthy of the kingdom of God, for which in fact you are suffering. For it is right for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you, and to you who are being afflicted to give rest together with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels. With flaming fire He will mete out punishment on those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will undergo the penalty of eternal destruction, (A second death) away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His strength, when He comes to be glorified among His Saints and admired on that day among all who have believed – and you did in fact believe our testimony. And in this regard we pray for you always, that our God will make you worthy of His calling and fulfill by His power your every goodness and every work of faith, that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.)

   Israel was scattered when Paul took Jesus’ good news to them, us and the gentiles, explaining their, our and the gentiles spiritual condition.

   (Romans 10:4-21; Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God on behalf of my fellow Israelites is for their salvation. For I can testify that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not in line with the truth. For ignoring the righteousness that comes from God, seeking instead to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. For Christ is the end of the law, with the result that there is righteousness for everyone who believes.

   For Moses writes about the righteousness that is by the law: “The one who does these things will live by them.” But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down) or “Who will descend into the abyss?” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? “The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we preach, because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe IN your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and thus has righteousness and with the mouth one confesses and thus has salvation. For the scripture says, “Everyone who believes IN Him will not be put to shame.” (Quote from Isaiah 28:16) For there is no distinction between the Jew and the Greek, for the same Lord is Lord of all, who richly blesses all who call on Him. For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.) (Quote from Joel 2:32)

   How are they to call on One they have not believed in? And how are they to believe IN One they have not heard of? And how are they to hear without someone preaching to them? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How timely is the arrival of those who proclaim the good news.” But not all have obeyed the good news, for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” Consequently faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the preached word of Christ.”

   But I ask, have they not heard? Yes, they have: Their voice has gone out to all the earth and their words to the ends of the world. But again I ask, didn’t Israel understand? First Moses says, “I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; with a senseless nation I will provoke you to anger.” And Isaiah is even bold enough to say, “I was found by those who did not seek Me; I became well known to those who did not ask for Me.” But about Israel he says, “All day long I held out My hands to this disobedient and stubborn people!)

  Old and New Covenants are with a predestined people, (Abraham‘s descendants, Israelites and foreigners led to become spiritual Israelites. (A spiritual Israelite is one likened to Jacob’s name change, Israel meaning - God fights or fights for.)

   King David is one of these, from his linage Christ the Son of God, Messiah Jesus came, lived in the flesh and shed His blood for the remission of the worlds sins. Without constant righteous leadership Israel was unable to maintain their covenant promise. When God allowed Israel, go the way that seemed right, they like the gentiles made gods to fit their imagination. They needed shepherding with the law of commandments. Now, genuine Believers IN have God’s gifted imputed spirit, a righteous spiritual leadership. The apostle John explains.

  (1John 1:5-9; Now this is the gospel message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is Light and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with Him and yet keep on walking in the darkness, we are lying and not practicing the truth. But if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we do not bear the guilt of sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, forgiving us our sins and cleansing us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His Word is not in us.)

  (1John 2:1-8; My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous One, and He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for our sins but also for the whole world.

  “Now by this we know that we have come to know God: if we keep His commandments. The one who says “I have come to know God” and yet does not keep His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in such a person. But whoever obeys His Word, truly in this person the love of God has been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him. The one who says he resides in God ought himself to walk just as Jesus walked.)

  We’re all born, heirs of Adam’s nature. We’re all born in sin. What is the sin we must turn from? That inherited nature, which is the way that seems right. Let God be true though every person a liar.

  Desires of the flesh and demonic influences caused Israelites to want a

king like the gentiles. As promised their disobedience caused God to scatter

them among gentile nations. But, God’s promises to His chosen people and

through Abraham are perpetual, thus a future deliverance is certain.

To: 35,370 subscribers we pray are “being made temples of God’s Spirit.” 4/18/22, God’s 1^st Mo. Nisan 17, 5,782 until sunset.          

    Today is Monday, ‘named after the Moon’ a little before twilight today in Jerusalem, Jesus would have spent three nights and three days in the tomb. Finding His tomb empty the next morning and it being the first day tells us that in that year the first day fell on the 18^th of Nisan. (His View Assemblies)

   Agree or not, “we each inherited a self-serving, self-governing, ‘me, mine and ours nature”; its there until God miraculously calls and gives the desire and effort to repent. Until He revealed Himself, our selfish desires we want to change to His give Way. Knowing God gifts this desire is why there’s no one that can boast of having found God or claim to have been saved independent of His calling! We can only love God as He manifest Himself to be, after He gifts understanding, so we realizing He loved us individually first. It’s a major part of God’s New Covenant with a called out and chosen people. (Phil 2:12-13; So then, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence but even more in my absence, continue working out your salvation with awe and reverence, for the One bringing forth in you both the desire and the effort – for the sake of His good pleasure – is God.)

    To love our neighbor and God is to love as gifted through His spirit. Not with the instinctive conjured up fleshly love we all inherited. His is Godly Love likened to His own and understood when He fathers us. With this in mind, examine Jesus’ apostle John’s teaching on the subject of love.

   (1John 4:7-19; Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who has (Godly) loves has been fathered by God and knows God. The person who does not have (Godly) love does not know God, because God is love.

   ((From the fleshly outlook there’s two kinds of love. (Instinctive: which is animalistic, concern for me, myself and mine.) Mine includes: my family, my nationality, my country and my imagined god, etc. (Godly Love: is a discerning love for our friends and enemies, realizing it comes from His loving us individually first.))

   By this, the love of God is revealed in us: that God has sent His One and only Son into the world so that we may live through Him. In this is love: not that we have loved God, “the Father” but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. “Dear friends, if God so loved us, then we also ought to love one another. No one has seen God (the Father) at any time. If we love one another, God resides in us, and His love is perfected in us. By this we know that we reside in God and He in us: in that He has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God resides in him and he in God. ((We’re to Love and Confess the two! Who are one in purpose.)) And we have come to know and to believe the love that God has in us. God is love, and the one who reside in ‘His’ love, resides in God, and God resides in him.’ By this (gifted understanding) love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence (knowing faith) in the day of judgment, because just as Jesus is, so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears punishment has not been perfected in love. (19) We love because He loved us first.)

   So, believers in are recipients of Godly love and a new nature. Its God calling and gifting us with Jesus’ faith and nature. John isn’t writing to the world at large, (unconverted, unbelieving people) but to called followers of God the Son, who is Creator, Sustainer, Deliverer, Mediator and soon coming King!

      We aren’t suppose to know God’s timing, we do know He can resurrect the dead, regardless of when they died. All who died in the Noah day flood, since and before. All are born to die once then judgmental; for the unrepentant a second death is prophesied. (See Revelations 2:11, 20:6 & 20:14) (Let’s read Rev 21:7-8; “The one who conquers will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. But to the cowards, unbelievers, detestable persons, murderers, the sexually immoral, and those who practice magic spells, idol worshipers, and all those who lie, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. That is the second death.)

   God revealed Himself and made Noah “a preacher of righteousness” an example to them and our age.” That generation didn’t respond, because from their inherited nature “they only desired pleasurable and fleshly things.” They only loved instinctively as do animals. From their instinctive inherited from Adam nature” which is a “me myself and mine self serving love.”)

    After the flood, Noah complimented Shem for looking to God’s Way. Shem’s descendants are first mentioned as “God’s called out people.” Through Shem came Abraham’s father “Terah.” For Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph, God had a long time purpose; ‘changing Jacob’s name to Israel: the word meaning, God fights or God fights for. (God was calling out a people for His name sake, a people through whom the Messiah, “the Son of God” would come in the flesh, die and spiritually live in people.) Jesus is the firstborn among many chosen to be fathered by God the Father.

   Calling and revealing Himself is God’s way of increasing His family. Jacob’s son, “Joseph” was the only one of the twelve, God chose to reveal Himself to and Jacob’s name “Israel” is named on Joseph’s two sons, “Manasseh and Ephriam.” God made Joseph a type of savior to Israel and the world. Others, to whom God hasn’t reveal Himself, practice the ways that seems right to themselves.”

   The uncalled descendants of Noah’s other two sons, “Ham, Japheth, Jacob’s brother Esau and Hagar’s son Ishmael and others, still lived Cain’s way; that is doing what seems right to their inherited nature from Adam. (God’s called out set aside people; as was Abraham, and are led to live separate from the world at large.) (God reveals this to followers of Jesus by having each, ‘as He did Abraham, Isaac and Jacob’ practice physical circumcision that looked forward to circumcision of the heart and look to His oracles. (God continued imposing these things when delivering Israel’s descendants, having them live and practice as a chosen, separated from the world’s people.) The principle continues, God doesn’t change, He revealed the same through His apostles and each followers of Jesus.

   (2Cor 6:14-18; Do not become partners with those who do not believe, for what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship does light have with darkness? And what agreement does Christ have with Beliar? Or what does a believer share in common with an unbeliever? And what mutual agreement does the temple of God have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said, “I will live in them and will walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.” Therefore “come out from their midst, and be separate,” says the Lord, “and touch no unclean thing, and I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters,” says the All-Powerful Lord.)

   Now, Believers IN Jesus are heirs with Abraham, gifted with Jesus’ spirit in their minds, ‘that is to love His Way.’ Jesus explains through Paul.

   (Rom 3:21-31; But now apart from the law the righteousness of God (which is attested by the law and the prophets) has been disclosed – namely, the righteousness of God through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. But they are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. God publicly displayed Him at His death as the mercy seat accessible through faith. This was to demonstrate his righteousness, because God in his forbearance had passed over the sins previously committed. This was also to demonstrate His righteousness in the present time, so that He would be just and the Justifier of the one who lives because of Jesus’ faithfulness.

    “Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded! By what principle? Of works? No, but by the principle of faith! For we consider that a person is declared righteous by faith apart from the works of the law.” “Or is God the God of the Jews only? Is he not the God of the Gentiles too? Yes, of the Gentiles too!  Since God is One, He will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. Do we then nullify the law through faith? Absolutely not! Instead we uphold the law.)

   Only the called have their fleshly outlook changed to spiritual. Again prayerfully consider Jesus’ revelation through Paul.

    Rom 8:6-11; For the outlook of the flesh is death, but the outlook of the Spirit is life and peace, because the outlook of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to the law of God, nor is it able to do so. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. You, ’believers IN Jesus’ however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to Him. (10) But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is your life because of righteousness. Moreover if the Spirit of the One who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the One who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through His Spirit who lives in you.)

   Through gifted Believing IN faith, we’re heirs with David and Abraham. 

    (Rom 4:6-12; So even David himself speaks regarding the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the one against whom the Lord will never count sin.” Is this blessedness then for the circumcision or also for the uncircumcision? For we say, “faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness.” How then was it credited to him? Was he circumcised at the time, or not? No, he was not circumcised but uncircumcised! And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised, so that he would become the father of all those who believe but have never been circumcised, that they too could have righteousness credited to them. And he is also the father of the circumcised, who are not only circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham possessed when he was still uncircumcised.”

      The spirit is our life because of Jesus’ righteousness.

   Followers of Jesus, whose minds He opens understands from last study that Christians are Spiritual Israelites, have the protective benefits God gave Jacob when changing his name to Israel. His church is the bride and wife of Jesus as He reveals at Revelations 3:9-14 AND Hebrews 12.

   On the pagan Roman calendar YESTERDAY “the Sabbath” is named after the planet “Saturn” AND today is SUNDAY, ‘NAMED AFTER THE SUN’ it’s the first day of the week, Nisan 16, and early evening, would mark (Jesus second night and second day in the tomb.) Tomorrow early evening marks the time Jesus would have resurrected, and the next morning the date His tomb was found empty. Believers trust the Holy Scriptural text, ‘not denominations.’

    To the Israel and through Moses Jesus said; (Deut 7:6-7; For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. He has chosen you to be His people, prized above all others on the face of the earth. It is not because you were more numerous than all the other peoples that the LORD favored and chose you – for in fact you were the least numerous of all peoples.) AND (Deut 14:2-7; For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. He has chosen you to be His people, prized above all others on the face of the earth. “You must not eat any forbidden thing. These are the animals you may eat: “the ox, the sheep, the goat, the ibex, the gazelle, the deer, the wild goat, the antelope, the wild oryx, and the mountain sheep. You may eat any animal that has hooves divided into two parts and that chews the cud.” However, you may not eat the following animals among those that chew the cud or those that have divided hooves: the camel, the hare, and the rock badger. (Although they chew the cud, they do not have divided hooves and are therefore ritually impure to you). ISRAELITES AND CHRISTIANS ARE ONE TO GOD.

     (Psalms 24:9-22; Fear the LORD, you chosen people of his, for those who fear him lack nothing! Even young lions sometimes lack food and are hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. Come children! Listen to me! I will teach you what it means to fear the LORD. Do you want to really live? Would you love to live a long, happy life? Then make sure you don’t speak evil words or use deceptive speech! Turn away from evil and do what is right! Strive for peace and promote it! The LORD pays attention to the godly and hears their cry for help. But the LORD opposes evildoers and wipes out all memory of them from the earth. The godly cry out and the LORD hears; he saves them from all their troubles. The LORD is near the brokenhearted; he delivers those who are discouraged. The godly face many dangers, but the LORD saves them from each one of them.) (SPEAKING OF JESUS; He protects all his bones; not one of them is broken.) Evil people self-destruct; those who hate the godly are punished. The LORD rescues his servants; all who take shelter in him escape punishment.) 

   LIKEWISE to CHRISTIANS Jesus says through His apostle Peter:

(1Peter 2:9-25; But you are a chosen race, royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may proclaim the virtues of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. You once were not a people, but now you are God’s people. You were shown no mercy, but now you have received mercy. Dear friends, I urge you as foreigners and exiles to keep away from fleshly desires that do battle against the soul, and maintain good conduct among the non-Christians, so that though they now malign you as wrongdoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God’ when he appears. (HE KNEW CHRISTIANS WOULD BE SCATTERED AMONG THE WORLD) So he said; Be subject to every human institution for the Lord’s sake, whether to a king as supreme or to governors as those he commissions to punish wrongdoers and praise those who do good. For God wants you to silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing good. Live as free people, not using your freedom as a pretext for evil, but as God’s slaves. Honor all people, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the king. Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are perverse. For this finds God’s favor, if because of conscience toward God someone endures hardships in suffering unjustly. For what credit is it if you sin and are mistreated and endure it? But if you do good and suffer and so endure, this finds favor with God. For to this you were called, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving an example for you to follow in his steps. He committed no sin nor was deceit found in his mouth. When he was maligned, he did not answer back; when He suffered, He threatened no retaliation, but committed Himself to God who judges justly. He Himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we may cease from sinning and live for righteousness. By His wounds you were healed. For you were going astray like sheep but now you have turned back to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.) 

   Jesus’ apostle Paul wrote the book of Hebrews and to the Roman Church of God he wrote; (Rom 3:1-4;Therefore what advantage does the Jew have, or what is the value of circumcision? Actually, there are many advantages. First of all, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God. What then? If some did not believe, does their unbelief nullify the faithfulness of God? Absolutely not! Let God be proven true, and every human being shown up as a liar, just as it is written: “so that you will be justified in your words and will prevail when you are judged.)

    God’s Oracles are perpetual for His people and Jesus knew His giving the Jews responsibility for their keeping would cause much of the world to persecute them. They will be rewarded and their persecutors punished for this evil. (Jeremiah 23:1-8; The LORD says, “The leaders of my people are sure to be judged. They were supposed to watch over My people like shepherds watch over their sheep. But they are causing my people to be destroyed and scattered. So the LORD God of Israel has this to say about the leaders who are ruling over His people: “You have caused My people to be dispersed and driven into exile. You have not taken care of them. I, the LORD, affirm it! Then I Myself will regather those of My people who are still alive from all the countries where I have driven them. I will bring them back to their homeland. They will greatly increase in number. I will install rulers over them who will care for them. Then they will no longer need to fear or be terrified. None of them will turn up missing. I, the LORD, promise it! 

   “I, the LORD, promise that a new time will certainly come when I will raise up for them a righteous branch, a descendant of David. He will rule over them with wisdom and understanding and will do what is just and right in the land. Under His rule Judah will enjoy safety and Israel will live in security. This is the name He will go by: ‘The LORD has provided us with justice.’ 

   “So I, the LORD, say: ‘A new time will certainly come. People now affirm their oaths with “I swear as surely as the LORD lives who delivered the people of Israel out of Egypt.” But at that time they will affirm them with “I swear as surely as the LORD lives who delivered the descendants of the former nation of Israel from the land of the north and from all the other lands where he had banished them.” At that time they will live in their own land.’”) 

    Remember Jesus’ promise to the twelve; (Matt 19:27-28; Then Peter said to Him, “Look, we have left everything to follow You! What then will there be for us?” Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth: In the age when all things are renewed, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.)

   It is 9AM central time USA and 5PM in Jerusalem, at this point Jesus would have spent one night and one day in the tomb, guards were posted because the authorities were told, ‘He said He’d be 3 nights and days in the tomb as Jonah was in a fish belly.’ Jesus commanded His followers to keep the Passover as He did (Perpetually) until He returned. True to our inherited from Adam nature, people have the Cain syndrome, meaning, “they think surely God will be pleased with this other way.”

   The resurrected Jesus, re-created earth with all its parts: its molten rock core, mountains, clouds, water, air, forest etc. He sustains all because all authority is given to Him by God the Father until He comes down with New Jerusalem and they rule together. (Rev 3:12-13; To His Philadelphia Church conclusion, Jesus says to John, “The one who conquers I will make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will never depart from it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of My God (the New Jerusalem that comes down out of heaven from my God) and My new name as well.

    ‘The one who has an ear had better hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’ AND then He shows John the wife of the Lamb, His church. AND (Rev 21:9-14; Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came and spoke to me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb!” So he took me away in the Spirit to a huge, majestic mountain and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God. The city possesses the glory of God; its brilliance is like a precious jewel, like a stone of crystal-clear jasper. It has a massive, high wall with twelve gates, with twelve angels at the gates, and the names of the twelve tribes of the nation of Israel are written on the gates. There are three gates on the east side, three gates on the north side, three gates on the south side and three gates on the west side. The wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them are the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.)  

    Jesus’ church is being perfected in the heavens now, He is the Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith.  (Heb 12:1-17; Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, we must get rid of every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and run with endurance the race set out for us, keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. For the joy set out for Him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken His seat at the His right hand of the throne of God. (Think of Him who endured such opposition against Himself by sinners, so that you may not grow weary in your souls and give up.) (You have not yet resisted to the point of bloodshed in your struggle against sin. And have you forgotten the exhortation addressed to you as sons? “My son, do not scorn the Lord’s discipline or give up when he corrects you.” “For the Lord disciplines the one he loves and chastises every son He accepts.” Endure your suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is there that a father does not discipline? But if you do not experience discipline, something all sons have shared in, then you are illegitimate and are not sons.) Besides, we have experienced discipline from our earthly fathers and we respected them; shall we not submit ourselves all the more to the Father of spirits and receive life? For they disciplined us for a little while as seemed good to them, but He does so for our benefit, that we may share His holiness. 

   Now all discipline seems painful at the time, not joyful. But later it produces the fruit of peace and righteousness for those trained by it. Therefore, strengthen your listless hands and your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but be healed. Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness, for without it no one will see the Lord. 

   See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God, that no one be like a bitter root springing up and causing trouble, and through it many become defiled. And see to it that no one becomes an immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal. For you know that later when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no opportunity for repentance, although he sought the blessing with tears. 

A Kingdom That Cannot Be Shaken

  Heb 12:18-29; For you have not come to something that can be touched, to a burning fire and darkness and gloom and a whirlwind and the blast of a trumpet and a voice uttering words such that those who heard begged to hear no more. For they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.” In fact, the scene was so terrifying that Moses said, “I shudder with fear.” But you have come to Mount Zion, the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the assembly and congregation of the firstborn, who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous, who have been made perfect, and to Jesus, the Mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks of something better than Abel’s does. 

   Take care not to refuse the One who is speaking! For if they did not escape when they refused the One who warned them on earth, how much less shall we, if we reject the One who warns from heaven? Then His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, “I will once more shake not only the earth but heaven too.”  Now this phrase “once more” indicates the removal of what is shaken, that is, of created things, so that what is unshaken may remain. So since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us give thanks, and through this let us offer worship pleasing to God in devotion and awe. For our God is indeed a devouring fire. 

    New covenant’s Sacrifices That are Pleasing to God

(Heb 13:1-25; Brotherly love must continue.  Do not neglect hospitality, because through it some have entertained angels without knowing it. Remember those in prison as though you were in prison with them, and those ill-treated as though you too felt their torment. Marriage must be honored among all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge sexually immoral people and adulterers. Your conduct must be free from the love of money and you must be content with what you have, for He has said, “I will never leave you and I will never abandon you.” So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, and I will not be afraid. What can people do to me?” 

   Remember your leaders, who spoke God’s message to you; reflect on the outcome of their lives and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever! Do not be carried away by all sorts of strange teachings. For it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not ritual meals, which have never benefited those who participated in them. We have an altar that those who serve in the tabernacle have no right to eat from. For the bodies of those animals whose blood the high priest brings into the sanctuary as an offering for sin are burned outside the camp. Therefore, to sanctify the people by His own blood, Jesus also suffered outside the camp. We must go out to Him, then, outside the camp, bearing the abuse He experienced. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. Through Him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, acknowledging His name. And do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for God is pleased with such sacrifices. Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls and will give an account for their work. Let them do this with joy and not with complaints, for this would be no advantage for you. Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to conduct ourselves rightly in every respect. I especially ask you to pray that I may be restored to you very soon. 

   Now may the God of peace who by the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep, our Lord Jesus, equip you with every good thing to do His will, working in us what is pleasing before Him through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever. Amen. 

    Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, bear with my message of exhortation, for in fact I have written to you briefly. You should know that our brother Timothy has been released. If he comes soon, he will be with me when I see you. Greetings to all your leaders and all the Saints. Those from Italy send you greetings. Grace be with you all. 

To: People being made temples of God’s Spirit. (4/14/22, God’s 1^st Mo. Nisan 13, 5,782 until sunset.) Today is the 14^th  & before sunset is when Jesus was buried, in keeping with the first annual Sabbath beginning the 15^th. . (The Jewish calendar has Friday the 14^th day of Nisan, twilight starts days according to God’s calendar, thus the previous sunset began Passover. I don’t know why so many celebrate Passover the evening of the 14^th, unless it’s to mimic others. (Lev 23:4-8; “‘These are the LORD’s appointed times, holy assemblies, which you must proclaim at their appointed time.  In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at twilight, is a Passover offering to the LORD. Then on the fifteenth day of the same month will be the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the LORD; seven days you must eat unleavened bread. On the first day there will be a holy assembly for you; you must not do any regular work. You must present a gift to the LORD for seven days, and the seventh day is a holy assembly; you must not do any regular work.’”) The book of Exodus supports. (Exodus 12:18; In the first month, from the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, you will eat bread made without yeast until the twenty-first day of the month in the evening.) UNTIL THE 21^ST WOULD SEEM TO AGREE WITH “keep seven days.” 14^th through 20^th completes 7 days, as some count, thus until 21^st.

    (Cor 11:23-26; For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which He was betrayed took bread, and after He had given thanks He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same way, He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. Do this, every time you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” For every time you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.) 

    We aren’t to dictate each person should celebrate according to scripture teachings, not denominational teaching.

   Israelites and Moses were frightened when the Lord God Jesus appeared and spoke. (Review Deaut 18:15) But spiritual Israelites, “who worship Jesus  in spirit and truth need not be frightened about prayerfully going before His spiritual Mt. Zion. The Hebrews writer explains to called believers.

   (Hebrews 12:22-29; But you (Christians) have come to Mount Zion, the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the assembly and congregation of the firstborn, who ARE ENROLLED in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous, who have been made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a New Covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks of something better than Abel’s does. Take care not to refuse the One who is speaking! For if they did not escape when they refused the One who warned them on earth, how much less shall we, if we reject the One who warns from heaven? Then His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, “I will once more shake not only the earth but heaven too.” Now this phrase “once more” indicates the removal of what is shaken, that is, of created things, so that what is unshaken may remain. So since we ARE RECEIVING an unshakable kingdom, let us give thanks, and through this let us offer worship pleasing to God in devotion and awe. For our God is indeed a devouring fire.)

       When followers of Jesus go before Him and God the Father to worship, it’s from their knowing the message. A result of being called and made one of His Elect. So different than when the Israelites stood before Mt. Zion hearing God’s voice. NOW, through Jesus and our being called to be at One with God the Father and God the Son, we’re permitted before spiritual Mount Zion, “the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem, and myriads of angels.” IN spirit led prayer we’re assembled with the congregation of the firstborn. “With those ENROLLED in heaven, (whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of life) to God, the judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous, who have been made perfect, to Jesus, the mediator of a New Covenant and to the sprinkled blood that speaks of something better than Abel’s does.”)

   The Patriarchs and followers of Jesus, “names are written in the Lamb’s Book of life.” More revealed to the apostle John.

   (Rev 5:6-10; Then I (John) saw standing in the middle of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders, and a Lamb that appeared to have been killed. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. Then He (Jesus) came and took the scroll from the right hand of the One, (God the Father) who was seated on the throne. When Jesus had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders threw themselves to the ground before the Lamb. (Jesus) Each of them had a harp and golden bowls full of incense (which are the prayers of the Saints). They were singing a new song: “You (Jesus) are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals because You were killed, and at the cost of Your own blood you have purchased for God persons from every tribe, language, people, and nation. You have appointed them as a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”)  All preplanned.

    New Jerusalem is going to come down as preplanned, it’s gates named for the twelve tribes of Israel and it’s foundation for His twelve apostles. Jesus revealed the city’s layout to John.

   (Rev 21:22-27; Now I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God – the All-Powerful – and the Lamb are its temple. The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God lights it up, and its lamp is the Lamb. The nations will walk by its light and the kings of the earth will bring their grandeur into it. Its gates will never be closed during the day (and there will be no night there). They will bring the grandeur and the wealth of the nations into it, but nothing ritually unclean will ever enter into it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or practices falsehood, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.”) All by design and preplanned.

   Theologians ‘people leaning on their own understanding in various divided denominations, have the world so confused, as they serve a divisive, confusing god of their imagination.’ Jesus’ apostle Paul explains about the false ones.

   (2Corinthians 11:12-15; And what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may eliminate any opportunity for those who want a chance to be regarded as our equals in the things they boast about. For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will correspond to their actions.)

   People condoning a mixture of beliefs, excuse it by saying “we’re all trying to get to the same place” but they will have their reward. God isn’t divided nor is His called out people. We have record of God setting limits on nation’s sinfulness, before removing and or punishing. (God told Abraham far in advance about his descendants inheriting the Amorites’ lands when their sins reached its limit.)

  (Genesis 15;13-16; Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a foreign country. They will be enslaved and oppressed for four hundred years. But I will execute judgment on the nation that they will serve. Afterward they will come out with many possessions. But as for you, you will go to your ancestors in peace and be buried at a good old age. In the fourth generation your descendants will return here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its limit.)

   These things are written for our learning and instruction. Keep in mind, (spiritually speaking) we’re individually in sin’s bondage likened to Israel’s to Egypt, until our inherited from Adam nature is supernaturally changed. Until we’re begotten of the Holy Spirit. People are allowed to go the way that seems right, (until God reveals Himself, calls, opens minds and grants repentance.) Giving Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Jebusites, and Girgashites’ lands to Israel as examples. All these went the way as those before the flood and as the world’s going today.

  (Exodus 3:16- Go and bring together the elders of Israel and tell them, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, appeared to me – the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob – saying, “I have attended carefully to you and to what has been done to you in Egypt, and I have promised that I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.”’ “The elders will listen to you, and then you and the elders of Israel must go to the king of Egypt and tell him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. So now, let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, so that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.’ But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go, not even under force. So I will extend My hand and strike Egypt with all My wonders that I will do among them, and after that he will release you.)

  God knew the Israelites would turn to paganism, once He allowed them to go the way that seemed right. Remember, (review) Nehemiah’s Israel’s history and God’s covenant with them, many years after God put them in bondage again; all for our learning. Isaiah also was led to write.

  (Isaiah 8:11-18; Indeed this is what the Lord told me. He took hold of me firmly and warned me not to act like these people: ‘Do not say, ‘Conspiracy’ every time these people say the word, don’t be afraid of what scares them; don’t be terrified. You must recognize the authority of the Lord who commands armies. He is the One you must respect; He is the One you must fear. He will become a sanctuary, a Stone that makes a person trip, and a Rock that makes one stumble – to the two houses of Israel. He will become a trap and a snare to the residents of Jerusalem. Many will stumble over the Stone and the Rock, (Jesus) and will fall and be seriously injured, and will be ensnared and captured.” Tie up the scroll as legal evidence, seal the official record of God’s instructions and give it to My followers. I will wait patiently for the Lord, who has rejected the family of Jacob; I will wait for Him. Look, I and the sons whom the Lord has given Me are reminders and object lessons in Israel, sent from the Lord who commands armies, who lives on Mount Zion.)

       The same Jesus that inspired Isaiah’s prophetic words, inspired His apostle Peter to share with called Believers.

  (1Peter 2:4-10; So as you come to Jesus, a living stone rejected by men but chosen and priceless in God’s sight, you yourselves, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood and to offer spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it says in scripture, “Look, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and priceless cornerstone, and whoever believes IN Him will never be put to shame.” So you who believe see His value, but for those who do not believe, the Stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone, and a stumbling-stone and a rock to trip over. They stumble because they disobey the Word, as they were destined to do. But you, are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of His own, so that you may proclaim the virtues of the One who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. You once were not a people, but now you are God’s people. You were shown no mercy, but now you have received mercy.”)

   Judaism and Christendom are tripping on Jesus’ Words. It isn’t theory, it’s the good news of the kingdom of God. We have record of God’s revealing, calling, retreating and allowing people go the way that seems right to their fleshly inherited nature. Facts are clear; when allowed to go the way that seems right, people instinctively manufacture gods of the imagination, divide and make merchandise of one another. People are like those before the flood and Sodom and Gomorra as Jesus predicted they’d be before His return.

To: People being made temples of God’s Spirit. 4/10/22, God’s 1^st Mo. Nisan 9, 5,782.

   Tomorrow will be Nisan 10, four days before Passover, ‘the date Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey.’ (See Exodus 12:3 & 12:6, & Matt 21) Jesus had Moses tell ‘Israel in Egypt’, ‘put up a lamb or goat on the 10^th of Nisan, until the 14^th .’ This looked forward to His being ‘4 days in Jerusalem’ until His sacrificial death on the 14^th. Thursday evening at sunset begins Passover, also (The preparation day for the first annual Sabbath on 15 Nisan.) Beginning a set aside season, ‘to examine one’s self, repent of sins and celebrate Jesus as Savior, Deliverer, Mediator and coming King of Kings.’ The world will celebrate the season after Jesus comes. Posted on face book, & (His View Assemblies)

  Remember Jesus said the whole world would be deceived by time of His return. Times much like before the Noah day flood, but followers of Jesus are prophesied to be Overcomers. Rev 12:11-12; But they overcame him ’Satan’ by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony and they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die. Therefore you heavens rejoice, and all who reside in them! But woe to the earth and the sea because the devil has come down to you! He is filled with terrible anger, for he knows that he only has a little time!)

   The Good News, “gospel” has always been about God’s kingdom coming, His people overcoming the inherited from Adam sin nature and Satan’s deceptions. So, it’s very important that followers of Jesus know when and where Satan’s inspired traditions originated. We need to pray for the courage to resist traditions that honor imaginary gods.

   (Matt 19:28-30; Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth: In the age when all things are renewed when the Son of Man sits on HIS glorious throne, you “apostles” who have followed Me will ALSO sit on twelve thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel. And whoever has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for My sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.)

  Worldly religions don’t understand the “Old and New Covenant’s parallel & callings.” Both have always been about His kingdom’s coming and His called inheriting eternal life through Jesus, who is the resurrection. It’s about inheriting eternal life and the destruction of evil. It isn’t theory! It’s God’s good news to His called Believers IN.

   Jesus said; ‘His miracles were greater than any done before, and proofs to His called that He was the prophesied Messiah, the Son of God - the Lamb of God.

   Proofs to the called? Not to those who aren’t called. Jesus said; “But you refuse to believe because you are not My sheep. My sheep listen to My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; no one will snatch them from My hand.” (See John 10:26-28)  He and His Father are as One. (He was not then, nor will He ever be about the business of usurping His Father’s will, but will always be about being “At One with Him.”) Likewise, all followers of Jesus are about the business of being At One with Him.

   Years before Jesus’ physical birth, some of the scattered Judean’s had been allowed to return to Jerusalem after Hezekiah ask God’s intervention. Judea was then ruled from Rome during the apostles’ lifetime. Two sects were Pharisee and Sadducees, they were allowed to practice their version of Judaism. Each practiced the way that seemed right to themselves, caused Jesus to have issues with both.

   (Matt 4:23-25; Jesus went throughout all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of disease and sickness among the people. So, a report about Him spread throughout Syria. People brought to Him all who suffered with various illnesses and afflictions, those who had seizures, paralytics, and those possessed by demons, and He healed them. And large crowds followed Him from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan River.)

   Jesus was about the business of fulfilling “all that the prophets had written about Him.” That fulfillment included Satan being bound and Jesus ruling this earth with His Saints. Jesus made it clear, unbelievers were not His sheep. So, true to His point, today’s professing religious pundits teach a hodgepodge of conjured up beliefs, manufactured by men. These, like Agrippa and Festus knew of Jesus’ miracles, but were unable to believe IN all that is written about Him. They like today’s teachers of theology were about the business of pleasing the Romans, Sadducees and Pharisees: particularly the Caesar in Rome.

   When Judaism’s unbelievers wanted to kill Paul, he was hauled before Festus and Agrippa. As Paul began preaching Jesus, Festus said, “you have lost your mind.” Agrippa also said, “In such a short time you persuading me to become a Christian.”

  (Acts 26:24-29; As Paul was saying these things in his defense, Festus exclaimed loudly, “You have lost your mind, Paul! Your great learning is driving you insane!” But Paul replied, “I have not lost my mind, most excellent Festus, but am speaking true and rational words. For the king knows about these things, and I am speaking freely to him, because I cannot believe that any of these things has escaped his notice, for this was not done in a corner. Do you believe the prophets, King Agrippa? I know that you believe. Agrippa said to Paul, “In such a short time are you persuading me to become a Christian?” Paul replied, “I pray to God that whether in a short or a long time not only you but also all those who are listening to me today could become such as I am, except for these chains.) All believers IN people could mimic Paul’s words.

   The gospel is about the kingdom of God and all things being accomplished according to God’s purpose, promises and planning. From Adam’s creation, God’s called out people were led to believe IN the shedding of blood for the remission of sins. They were aware of Satan’s deceiving influences that would be brought to light as preplanned.

   God is allowing Satan’s success, to divide kingdoms and religions while manifesting himself as an angel of light. His purpose is to divide, hurt and deceive, but his followers too think of themselves as, “lights to a lost world.” They advance a theology that seem right to themselves; theologies inherited from before and after the flood. We need to question; “what happens to Satan and his followers?”

   Review Revelations 19:19-21; Then I “John” saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to do battle with the One who rode the horse and with His army. Now the beast “Satan” was seized, and along with him the false prophet who had performed the signs on his behalf – signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. Both of them were thrown alive into the lake of fire burning with sulfur. The others were killed by the sword that extended from the mouth of the One who rode the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves with their flesh.”)

   The future was revealed to the Patriarchs, their revelations were in fact a large part of the gospel - good news. God’s planning encompasses the whole world and each Patriarchs looked forward to, “Jesus’ millennial kingdom!”

   (Gen 17:3-7: Abram bowed down with his face to the ground, and God said to him, “As for Me, this is My covenant with you: You will be the father of a multitude of nations. No longer will your name be Abram. Instead, your name will be Abraham because I will make you the father of a multitude of nations. I will make you “Your descendants” extremely fruitful. I will make nations of you, and kings will descend from you. I will confirm My covenant as a perpetual covenant between Me and you. It will extend to your descendants after you throughout their generations. I will be your God and the God of your descendants after you.)

   (Review Jeremiah 30:) Renaming of Abram was a sign of confirmation

 to the Patriarch. Every time the name was used it would be a reminder

of God’s promise. “Abram” means “exalted father,” probably referring to

Abram’s father Terah. The name “Abram” looks to the past; he came

from noble lineage. Abraham is a dialectical variant of the name Abram.

But its significance is in the wordplay with the Hebrew, “the father of a

multitude, which sounds like ( אַבְרָהָם, avraham,) “Abraham”). His new name

 would be a reminder of God’s promise to make Abraham the father of a

 multitude. Things God has planned for this earth’s people are so

awesome; it’s difficult for our natural minds to comprehend.
