This writing should bring this short study to its assigned end....assigned end because it has been written and choreographed by GOD in eons past, as we saw with the lamb being crucified before the foundations of the world were laid. Genesis 1 bears this out because it rehearses man as spirit being with GOD before creation, but sadly many do not see it or even hear what it reveals because their perception is blocked by the corruption of flesh. That is why we must be born again and filled by GOD of His Holy Spirit through Whom all things become to us new, meaning that your name remains in the book of life. Now for our next few titles of interest, of which there are three in number. Now some may say that I have taken liberties of change in some passages but keep this in mind I am led of the LORD in all things of spirit which these passages themselves witness too. Also bear this out within yourselves the revelation of Christ within us. All of this is born out in John's synoptic gospel of chapter 17, in the LORD's Prayer, which changes the course of mans history by GOD's transformation. Here is a breakdown of Israel and Emmanuel, Ihs is man as is Emman, and rel and el are God, put them together we have God in man or Jesus the house of GOD-Christ. Or Jesus the Spirit man after His baptism which brought the Spirit or GOD to dwell in Him making Him from then on Christ the Father's name.
Prepared for service:
Luke 1:8-17 and Acts 15:14 "Now while he (Zacharias the father of John who became the baptizer) was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty, according to the custom of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the LORD and burn incense. And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense. And there appeared to him an angel (the Spirit) of the LORD standing on the right side of the altar of incense. And Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, for he will be great before the LORD. And he must not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the LORD their God, and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the LORD a people prepared."
Acts 15:12-21 "All the assembly fell silent (Peter standing before this council now slanted because of his words), and they listened to Barnabas and Paul as they related what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles. After they finished speaking, James replied, "Brothers, listen to me. Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take from them a people for his name. And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written, "'After this I will return, and I will rebuild the tent of David that has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it, that the remnant of mankind may seek the LORD, and all the Gentiles who are called by My name, says the LORD, who makes these things known from of old.' (in Amos 9) Therefore my judgment is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who turn to God, but should write to them to abstain from the things polluted by idols, and from sexual immorality, and from what has been strangled, and from blood. For from ancient generations Moses has had in every city those who proclaim him, for he is read every Sabbath in the synagogues."
Characterized by zeal:
Titus 2:11-14, 15 "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing (redemption and then His) salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live (by the Spirit within) self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession who are zealous for good works.
Declare these things; exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you."
The law written upon our heart: (This next passage could be labeled a Better Ministry)
Hebrews 8:1-13, 1Peter 2:9 and Revelation 21:3 "Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, a minister in the Holy places, in the true tent that the LORD set up, not man. For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; thus it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. Now if HE were on earth, HE would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law. They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things. For when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, "See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain." But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant He mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion (a necessity) to look for a second. For HE finds fault with them when HE says: "Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel (Ihs-rels) and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not continue in My covenant, and so I showed no concern for them, declares the LORD. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel (Ihs-rel, men who have returned to GOD as His position) after those days, declares the LORD: I will put My law (of love and faith, in grace and truth) into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they shall all know ME, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more." In speaking of a new covenant, HE makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away."
1Peter 2:9-10 "For you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of His own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence's of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy."
Revelation 21:1-4 "I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from GOD, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling place of GOD is within man. He will dwell within them, and they will be His people, and GOD Himself will be within them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."
