We are about to examine the word that is made known to us by GOD within us. This may prove to be a struggle as it is mostly within the context of the old witness and when this is read the veil remains over it. This veil keeps the secret things secret, as in being without the Holy Spirit as it is HE Who searches the deep things of GOD and makes these things known to us of a renewed spirits. as walk is His righteousness as did Abraham as explained by Paul in Romans. Where we find the "ha" added to Abram means grace in faiths acceptance. Also know this, it is both religion and politics that hinder our hearing and seeing GOD face to face in Christ. Also know and understand that when Jesus' flesh was rent upon the cross that the temples veil was also rent from top to bottom showing the end of all the Law and the Prophets of Jewish history in our humanity. And when He was resurrected all of humanity was resurrected in Him in His justification of righteousness and holiness of image and likeness restored to all humanity. Paul in his introduction in 1Corithians 1:2-3 tells us this: "To the Ekklesia of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be (sir named) saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from GOD our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." Grace and Peace express the sum total of every benefit of purpose and plan of GOD towards us. Paul here brands his gospel message with the words in order to distinguish the message of the revelation of finished work of / in Christ, as the basis of faith from the Mosaic Law of works which restricts a person to their own efforts to justify themselves. It is now a matter of grace verses reward and peace verses striving.
GOD as our Teacher, The Divine Teacher,
Exodus 4:15 of 10-17 "But Moses said to the LORD, "Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since You have spoken to Your servant, but I am slow of speech and of tongue." Then the LORD said to him, 'Who has made man's mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the LORD? Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.' But Moses said, "Oh, my Lord, please send someone else." Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses and He said, 'Is there not Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Behold, he is coming out to meet you, and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart. You shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth, and I will be with your mouth and with his mouth and will teach you both what to do. He shall speak for you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and you shall be as God to him. And take in your hand this staff, with which you shall do the signs.'"
Deuteronomy 4:36, 39 of 32-40 "For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that GOD created man on the earth, and ask from one end of heaven to the other, whether such a great thing as this has ever happened or was ever heard of. Did any people ever hear the voice of a god speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and still live? Or has any god ever attempted to go and take a nation for Himself from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, and by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by great deeds of terror, all of which the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? To you it was shown, that you might know that the LORD is God; there is no other besides Him. Out of heaven HE let you hear His voice, that HE might discipline you. And on earth HE let you see His great fire, and you heard His words out of the midst of the fire. And because HE loved your fathers and chose their offspring after them and brought you out of Egypt with His own presence, by His great power, driving out before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is this day, know therefore today, and lay it to your heart, that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other. Therefore you shall keep His statutes and His commandments, which I command you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land that the LORD your God is giving you for all time."
Psalm 25:12 of 12-15 "Who is the man who fears the LORD? Him will HE instructs in the way that he should choose. His soul shall abide in well-being, and his offspring shall inherit the land. The friendship / kinship of the LORD is for those who revere Him, and HE makes known to them His covenant. My eyes are ever toward the LORD, for HE will pluck my feet out of the net (of religions deception and delusions)."
Psalm 32:8 of 8-11 "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My eyes upon you. Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you. Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the LORD. Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!"
Psalm 71:17 of 17-21 "O God, from my youth You have taught me, and I still proclaim Your wondrous deeds. So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim Your might to another generation, Your power to all those to come. Your righteousness, O God, reaches the high heavens. You Who have done great things, O God, who is like You? You have made me see many troubles and calamities will revive me again; from the depths of the earth (after two days) You will bring me up again. You will increase my greatness and comfort me again."
Psalm 94:10 of 8-11 "Understand, O dullest of the people! Fools, when will you be wise? He who planted the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not see? He who disciplines the nations, does He not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge— the LORD—knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath."
Isaiah 2:3 of 2-4 "It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be lifted up above the hills; and all the nations shall flow to it, and many peoples shall come, and say: "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob, that HE may teach us His ways and that we may walk in His paths." For out of Zion shall go the instruction, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore."
Isaiah 28:26 of 22, 23-29 "Now therefore do not scoff, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard a decree of destruction from the LORD God of hosts against the whole land.
Give ear, and hear my voice; give attention, and hear my speech. Does he who plows for sowing plow continually? Does he continually open and harrow his ground? When he has leveled its surface, does he not scatter dill, sow cumin, and put in wheat in rows and barley in its proper place, and emmer as the border? For he is rightly instructed; his GOD teaches him. Dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge, nor is a cart wheel rolled over cumin, but dill is beaten out with a stick, and cumin with a rod. Does one crush grain for bread? No, he does not thresh it forever; when he drives his cart wheel over it with his horses, he does not crush it. This also comes from the LORD of hosts; HE is wonderful in counsel and excellent in wisdom."
Isaiah 48:17 of 17-19 "Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: 'I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you in the way you should go. Oh that you had paid attention to My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea; your offspring would have been like the sand, and your descendants like its grains; their name would never be cut off or destroyed from before Me.'"
Isaiah 54:13 of 11-17 "'O afflicted one, storm-tossed and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in antimony, and lay your foundations with sapphires. I will make your pinnacles of agate, your gates of carbuncles, and all your wall of precious stones. All your children shall be taught by the LORD, and great shall be the peace of your children. In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you. If anyone stirs up strife, it is not from Me; whoever stirs up strife with you shall fall because of you. Behold, I have created the smith who blows the fire of coals and produces a weapon for its purpose. I have also created the ravager to destroy; no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute (condemn) every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants (one who sides-with) of the LORD and their vindication from Me, declares the LORD.'"
Jeremiah 32:33 of 26-35 "The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: 'Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for Me?' Therefore, thus says the LORD: 'Behold, I am giving this city into the hands of the Chaldeans and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall capture it. The Chaldeans who are fighting against this city shall come and set this city on fire and burn it, with the houses on whose roofs offerings have been made to Baal (Master to have dominion over) and drink offerings have been poured out to other gods, to provoke Me to anger. For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done nothing but evil in My sight from their youth. The children of Israel have done nothing but provoke Me to anger by the work of their hands', declares the LORD. 'This city has aroused My anger and wrath, from the day it was built to this day, so that I will remove it from My sight (in 68-70 ADE) because of all the evil of the children of Israel and the children of Judah that they did to provoke Me to anger—their kings and their officials, their priests and their prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. They have turned to Me their backside and not their face. And though I have taught them persistently, they have not listened to receive instruction. They set up their abominations in the house that is called by My name, to defile it. They built the high places of Baal in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, though I did not command them, nor did it enter into My mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.'"
Micah 4:2 of 1-5 (the LORD God is speaking) "'It shall come to pass in the latter days (the days of the Lord Jesus) that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and it shall be lifted up above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it, and many nations shall come, and say: "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob, that HE may teach us His ways and that we may walk in His paths." For out of Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. He shall judge between many peoples, and shall decide for strong nations far away; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore; but they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree, and no one shall make them afraid', for the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken. For all the peoples walk each in the name of its god, but we will walk in the (now secret and hidden) name of the LORD our God forever and ever."
At this moment I have no next destination from the LORD so I will just sit and wait on Him. While I read my new "Mirror Study Bible, the Romance of the Ages" written by Francois du Toit.
