The LORD our Passover

Indexing for May 21^st

As away of bring the opening of the graves in the early morning hours of the first day of the week to there proper light I want to redo what I said in regards to Matthew 27 beginning at verse 51 in the portion behind the semi-colon. The semi-colon there acts as a time period break as it also does in other Old Testament passages such as in the Psalms and elsewhere.

This lack of understanding has for many years caused much bewilderment among Bible Theologians as I am sure it does the common people, such as elders and deacons. This is why we all must have the Spirit of Truth to open our understanding and clear our minds eye and ears to see and hear the Truth with proper perception. The Bible translators have caused may errors to spring up because of their insertion of passage breaks and numberings as the originals had no punctuation or sentences or paragraph breaks in their original languages.

Matthew 27:51-54 “Behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom (this took place when the Lord gave up His spirit and His body of flesh died); (this is the break, from here what flows is in the early morning hours between 6 PM sunset and 6 AM* sunrise of the first day of the week) and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus (Jesus' tomb), saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.”

*This an approximate time frame as it varies with each days movement and setting of the sun across the horizon which is govern by the moon. This is more accurately explained by Enoch in the book with his name. He is referred to in Genesis 4 and flowing through 5 and is spoken of in the synoptic gospels and is quoted from many places elsewhere, such as Hebrews and Jude.

With the improper use of passage breaks this sounds as if it happened while He was still hanging from the tree of the cross instead of the early morning hours of the first day of our week. With the adaption of the Julian Calendar these errors began because of the false perception created by Satan's dominion. When this is rightfully understood then what Paul reveals in Colossians 1 makes more since and opens to us understanding. Which my comment reveals where I have said this; This took place very early in the predawn hours as the Lord Jesus was leading the captives held in Abraham's bosom to the heavenliest place, His first ascension as described in Colossians 1:11-20, and the Redemption price now paid as laid out in the following verses 21-29 of Col. 1. This one passage is loaded with cross references from both the Old and the New Covenants.

I will take the time to take a closer look at these passages, because Paul by the Spirit of Truth laid the foundation upon our bed Rock, by way of showing the preeminence of Christ Jesus which is our own foundation of all revelation of Him, caused by our answer to His question as found in the text of Matthew 11:29, in the affirmative. This by the way, is not restricted to me alone but rather is available to all who become willing and seek as a young child His kingdom rule and righteousness. 

Beginning at verse 9 of Colossians 1 where we read the following beginning with a prayer; “For this cause we also, since the day we heard, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that you might be filled with the knowledge of His Will in all Wisdom and spiritual understanding; That you might walk worthy of the Lord to all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the Knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, to all patience and long suffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks to the Father, Who has made us meet (fit) to be partakers of the inheritance of the Saints in Light (these are those who experienced His resurrection and ascension into the heavens, that fateful day of the LORD, this includes all those who were in Abraham's bosom and all those that He spoke of as a Master Prophet during His earthly ministry): Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son: In Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: (now Paul here begins to reveal what John in his synoptic gospel reveals about the Lord Jesus in chapter 1 and indeed throughout this gospel) For by (through) Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.

He is the head of the Body, the Church: Who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead (this is all mans original estate in Satan's dominion, and is why we must be born again); that in all things He might have the preeminence (He is our file leader and Family Head by example). For it pleased the Father that In Him should all fullness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by (through)* Him to reconcile all things to Himself; by (through) Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

You, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now has He reconciled In the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable In His sight (for we with those early saints are seated together with them in the heavens even though our physical body is here on earth at this moment, we like the Lord Jesus have a dual citizenship, one in the heavens [purely spiritual with a pure heart and undefiled] and the other here on earth until we are called home to be with the LORD, what we must all realize is that with God all things are indeed possible): If you continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of this gospel, which you have heard, and which was preached (proclaimed) to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister (in Paul's case as with those who become like as he was, a steward of God's secrets, equipped by God In the Spirit of Truth, reveal Christ in all things both old and New, the word minister means simply servant, one who receives persecution for pressing forward while under another's [the Master's] authority); Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for His Body's sake, which is the Church: Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation (stewardship and economy) of God which is given to me for you, to fulfill* (to consummate, to bring realization of) the word of God; The mystery which had been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to His Saints: To (In) whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ In you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect In Christ Jesus: Whereto I also labor, striving according to His working, which works in me mightily.”

*The word "by" means through and both mean to be counted IN Him as one unite because this was mans original state of being as seen in Genesis 1 and 2 from which this understanding can be properly obtained.
