Thessalonians part 13

I must point out that with the corruption of Judaism, which happened when it became a form of mans religion and religious system. Judaism you see had only a form of its former glory which it held while God's Glory was present. But this Glory faded away as did the Glory that was on the face of Moses after he returned from being with the LORD on the moutain top with Him. Remember that Moses covered his face with a veil to hide this Glorious light. This same Light would be restored to man at the change of venue where all mankind is Redeemed from darkness, chaos, strife of all kinds and sins deadness which causes separation from God. This is figuratively seen in the tearing of the Temple veil from its top downward. The veil that separtes the holy from the most holiplace behind this veil, when the body of Jesus' housing gave up the breath of God, or the Ghost. This breath of God, Jesus had received at the moment of His washing or Baptism and witnessed to by the figure of the dove which descended and rested on Him. This witnessing was done by John the Baptizer, who came in the spirit and power of Elijah. This also brought his appointed ministry to its due close, with the transfer of his Priesthood to the LORD by the laying on of hands and washing. John being the first born son and quite possibly the only child of two parents both stricken in years, which were hiers of Aaron. Just as our LORD was the first born of a virign girl (aged somewhere between 14 and 18) who was an hier of king David and Jesus' foster father Joseph. Who was also of the same line of heritage. Who was somewhere around 30-35 years old at the time of betrothal to the virgin who would later be found with child. Being divinely impregnanted as prophesied, by Isaiah in chapter 7:14, 9:6, 1Timothy 3:16 all speaking of Immanuel-Messiah-Christ.


This brings up what can be labeled as “the name game” as many call God by many names to which I have this to say about that. I have asked God to reveal to me His true name.....and the only thing I receive is Father. Now over the course of the past 50 or so years I have studied the names located within the context of scripture and have found this. Most are actually only titles of His revealed character as the fulfillment of what was needed of the righteous man or woman at the moment. I even have a book which lists as many as 101 or so titles with passages where they can be located, they are all only a title not a proper name as such. This brings me to another thing about God and mans religion, I have already stated that God has NO part in it. Now from that stand point allow me to say this, it matters not the label or denomination, cult, title, or whatever may be placed by man on his ideology or church assemblage. And this includes those of the Hebrews (who remain in Judaism), Buddhists, Hindus, Monks of any sort, Christians, Muslims, Athesists and there are many others, of this I am sure. All claim to worship a God of some sort and also claim to know His name but is it? Within each group are found a priest, monk, cleric, pastor (of all brands and labels) who have knowledge of the secrets of that brand or religion and ideology. Here is where there is a division or separation from those in mans religions and those who are In Christ. Each person have revealed within them all that is spoken of in Deuteronomy 29:29 as secert things of God. From being to end the Bible is a revelation of the LORD, Christ. And it is this same secret. That all things are based upon which are God's Church, Family, House or Body built as revealed to and then through Paul within the context of each Epistle. To which Jesus Himself also spoke in Matthew 13:11 and then throughout the New Covenant text, with the use of such words as mystery, mysteries, secret, secrets and hidden things. I should also add these passages found in Luke 4 verse 30 beginning at verse 24 through 32 which states this: “He, Jesus said, Verily I say to you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land (this was the true spiritual condition in Israel at the time of John the Baptist and Jesus); But to none of them was Elias sent, save to Sarepta, of Sidon, to a woman a widow (this is figurative of Israel as a nation). And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. And all in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, and rose up, and thrust Him out of the city, and led Him to the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast Him down headlong. But He passing through the midst of them went His way, and came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. And they were astonished at His teaching: for His word was with power.” The next is also in Luke at 24:16 this you should remember took place after the LORD'S first ascesnion and return to the area of the Galilee, it states this beginning at verse 13 through 27: “Behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem threescore furlongs. And they talked together of all these things which had happened. It came to pass, that, while they communed and reasoned together, Jesus Himself drew near, and went with them. But their eyes were holden that they should not know Him. He said to them, What manner of communications are these that you have one to another, as you walk, and why are sad? One of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said to Him, Are you only a stranger in Jerusalem, and have you not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? He said to them, What things? They said Him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a Prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and have crucified Him. But we trusted that it had been He which should have redeemed all of Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. Yes, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early (before dawn) at the sepulchre; And when they found not His body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that He is alive. And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even as the women had said: but Him they saw not. Then Jesus said to them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into His glory? And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, He expounded (revealed) to them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself.” This explaining of the ancient meanings hidden (veiled from our understanding and) from our view He is all about doing within us who have become His, by placing all of our trust in Him.
