An again I am looking into Deuteronomy 18 verses 18 and 19 and the things hidden within these passages. I want to pick up with Christ's words and now with His promises, in this study. By way of reminder I will be making use of the ESV translation because of it's ease of reading and should the LORD expand on a passage I will add it there and then. We must keep this in the proper perspective Christ in Jesus makes Jesus the Living Word of GOD Who has the Life of this Word in Him. The Living Revelation of the universal GOD.
Deuteronomy 18:18-19 "I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. And whoever will not listen to My words that He shall speak in My name, I Myself will require it of him."
The Words of Christ, in His Promises:
The base scripture is found in the words kept, in Luke 2:51,
Luke 2:41-51 "Now His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. And when He was twelve years old, they went up according to custom. And when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, but supposing Him to be in the group they went a day's journey, but then they began to search for Him among their relatives and acquaintances, and when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching for Him. After three days they found Him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. And all who heard Him were amazed at His understanding and His answers. And when His parents saw Him, they were astonished. And His mother said to Him, "Son, why have You treated us so? Behold, Your father and I have been searching for You in great distress." And He said to them, "Why were you looking for Me? Did you not know that I must be in My Father's [be about the affairs of My Father] house?" And they did not understand the saying that He spoke to them. And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And His mother treasured up all these things in her heart."
Eternal Life,
John 8:48-59 "The Jews answered Him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?" Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon, but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. Yet I do not seek My own glory; there is One Who seeks and judges. Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word, he will never see death." The Jews said to Him, "Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.' Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself out to be?" Jesus answered, "If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing. It is My Father Who glorifies Me, of Whom you say, 'He is our God.' But you have (do) not known Him. I know Him. If I were to say that I do not know Him, I would be a liar like you, but I do know Him and I keep His word. Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see My day. He saw it and was glad." So the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?" Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I Am." (Exodus 3:14, John 1:1, the ever present "Now," of to be, the Hebrew verb 'HAYAH') So they picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple."
The Abiding Comforter,
John 14:15-17 "If you love (hear) Me, you will keep My commandments. And I will ask the Father, and HE will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, Whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. You know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you."
Divine Fellowship,
John 14:18-24 "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Yet a little while and the world will see Me no more, but you will see (truly Know) Me. Because I live, you also will live. In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. Whoever has My commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves (hears) Me. And he who loves (hears) Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?" Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves (hears) Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and WE will come into him and make our home with him. Whoever does not love (hear) Me does not keep My words. And the word that you hear is not Mine but the Father's Who sent Me."
Divine Disclosure,
John 17:6-19 "I have manifested Your Name to the people whom You gave Me out of the world. Yours they were, and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. Now they know that everything that You have given Me is from You. For I have given them the words that You gave Me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from You; and they have believed that You sent Me. I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those Whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. All Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep them in (Christ) Your Name, which You have given (Immanuel-Messiah) Me, that they may be one, even as WE are One. While I was with them, I kept them in Your Name, which You have given Me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. For now I am coming to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them Your Word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not ask that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake I consecrate Myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth."
Assurance,
1John 2:3-6 "By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. Whoever says "I know Him" but does not keep His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, (but) for whoever keeps His word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: whoever says he abides in Him ought to walk in the same way in which He walked."
Access to GOD,
Revelation 3:8-13 "'I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept My word and have not denied My Name. Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you. Because you have kept My Word with patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown. The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from My God out of heaven, and My own new name (Isaiah 56:5, 62:2, 4, 12; 65:15). He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'"
Keeping with this theme, the LORD willing I will look at the Word Remembered next as part 7b.
