Next while still in 1John turn to chapter 4 beginning at verse 1 through to the end of verse 6, we find this; “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know you the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh (this is in His resurrected or what is otherwise known as the baptism of our heart, through which the dead flesh of our former calloused heart is removed by God's hand to restore His rightful state within our heart) is of God: And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of anti-Christ, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and (the earthy and worldly babes in redemption of) the world hears them. We are of God: he that knows God hears us; he that is not of God hears not us. Hereby know we the Spirit of Truth, and the spirit of error.”
The last one on this list is in 1John 5 beginning at verse 18 we find this; “We know that the Son of God is come, and has given us understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are In Him that is Truth, even In His Son, Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and Eternal Life. As little children, keep yourselves from idols. Says the Amen.”
Indexing for May
19th
The first index list is found for John 19:1-7 where we find this; “the soldiers platted a crown of thorns,” which is spoken of in the following passages, Isaiah 49:6-9(7), 53:1-12(3), Hebrews 2:15-18, 5:7-10.
The first is Isaiah 49 and picking up the follow I will start at verse 5 and go though the end of verse 13 to keep continuity; “Now says the LORD, Who formed Me from the womb to be His servant, to bring Jacob again to Him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and My God shall be My strength. And He said, It is a light thing that You shouldest be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give You for a Light to the Gentiles, that You may be My salvation to the end of the earth. Thus said the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and His Holy One, to Him Whom man despise, to Him Whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and He shall choose You.
Thus said the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard You, and in a day of salvation have I helped You: and I will preserve You, and give You for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages; That You may say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places (as a serpent lifts its head to strike or to swallow its prey is this the meaning of in all high places, both on the earth or under the earth). They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for He that has mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall He guide them. And I will make all My mountains a way (mans path or journey of life), and My highways (a causeway which is above ground level) shall be exalted. Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim. Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD has comforted His people, and will have mercy upon His afflicted.”
Next while still in Isaiah turn to the referenced passage in chapter 53 beginning at verse 1 through the end of 12; “Who has believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For he shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: He had no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.
Surely He has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was (laid or pilled up) upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth: He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare His generation? for He was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of My people was He stricken. And He made His grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death; because He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth.
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief: when You shall make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied: by His knowledge shall My righteous servant justify many; for He shall bear their iniquities (the twisting action of a rope, to bear punishment, for fault and mischief, sin). Therefore will I divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong; because He has poured out His soul unto death: and He was numbered with the transgressors; and He bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.”
