Christ Revealed in You

The revealing of the Revelation and the mysteries in the Light of the Gospel of the risen Lord Jesus Christ as given to Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel. As contained in the letters of Paul, to the Romans on through Philemon and the letter of persuasion written to the Hebrews. A Bible study and other insights. So we should get off that milk bottle. We have to tell those who find us and begin to read the posts to throw the milk bottle away.

Christ within You post number 2387

Are you prepared, is your house in order?

These are the two phrases that I was impressed with in the wee hours of this morning along with so much more. To whom this applies and what it may mean to them, I don't know.

My topic of study is that of 2Thessalonians 1:11-12 but to get the complete thought we'll have to begin with verse 3, but instead of just starting at verse 3, I'll begin at the beginning here:

2Thessalonians 1:1-2, 3-12 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the church of the Thessalonians in GOD our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you, and peace, from GOD our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

With much Thanksgiving:

We are bound to GOD always for you, our brethren, as it is fit, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other abounds; So that we ourselves glory in you as in the churches/houses/bodies of GOD for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure:

[The Judgment at Christ's execution has changed the Coming long awaited judgment of the hostile ones: hostile to religions influence and dominance.]

Which is a manifested token of the righteous judgment of GOD [this taking place in the judgment and execution of the Lord Jesus as the son of man, the second Adam], that we may be counted worthy of the kingdom of GOD, for which we also suffer: seeing it is a righteous thing with GOD [GOD is not the author of vengeance nor retribution, man is, GOD is however the author of mercies that are new every morning according to scripture) to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; And to you who are troubled rest in Him that is True, for when the LORD Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, as a flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not GOD, and that obey not the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the LORD, and from the glory of His power; When He shall come to be glorified in His saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you is believed) in that day. Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our GOD would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness (mercies), and His work of faith with power within humanity: That the name of our LORD Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and we are in Him, according to the grace of our GOD and the LORD Jesus Christ.

Now with this thought I want to go back to 1Thessalonians 1 to see what Paul is making reference to here, and maybe I'll draw from the Mirror Study Bible by Francois du Toit as it expands our own identity of origin just a bit more than the KJV does, beginning at verse 2:

1Thessalonians 1:2-10 I give thanks to GOD always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our ascended LORD Jesus Christ, in the sight of GOD and our Father; Knowing, brethren beloved, your election(1) of GOD. For our gospel(2) came(3) not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance (4); As we know(5) what manner of men we were among you for your sake. And you became followers(7) of us, and of the LORD, having received(6) the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost: So that you are examples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia. For from you sounded out the word of the LORD not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith of God-ward is spread abroad; So that we need not to speak any thing. For they themselves show of us what manner of entering in we had to you, and how you turned to GOD from idols to serve the living and true GOD; And to wait for His Son from heaven, Whom GOD raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered(8) us from the wrath (G3709 from G3713; strong desire, excitement of mind, violent passion, to long for) to come.

Now for the Mirror Study Bible's translation of the same:

Your future is prominently in our prayers and conversation which is always marked with the gentle cheerfulness of a grateful heart to GOD. We fondly remember the testimony of your faith which is so evident in your day to day lives in your love, even through many difficult times, and the cheerful constancy of the very hope that our LORD Jesus Christ personifies, in Whom we enjoy the immediate presence of our Papa GOD. [This is a stark and sharp contrast to a duty-and guilt driven rule, Paul mentions their faith inspired work and their love inspired labors. Paul understood fully that love ignited faith. Gal. 5:6] Beloved friends, you have come to understand that you are GOD'S idea to begin with! ([1, G1589, election] The word ekloge has traditionally been translated and interpreted as election, which led to the illusion that some are in and some are out, by GOD'S intent! However, the preposition ek, always denotes source or origin and lego points to that authentic thought, where as the logos G3056 is different from ours here, this of John refers to in Jn. 1:1 and 14, where the word used is Word, logos.) Our gospel (2)birthed (3) in you so much more than mere intellectual reasoning's; Your encounter bore witness to the dynamics of the Holy Spirit as you became thoroughly permeated(4) with the well done announcement and perceived(5) within yourselves the full impact of our immediate influence. (The gospel (2) means a well done announcement G2098, while the word came G1096, γίνομαι ginomai ghin'-om-ahee A prolonged and middle form of a primary verb; to cause to be. (4) assurance G4136, πληροφορία plērophoria play-rof-or-ee'-ah [From G4135, means, to carry out fully (in evidence), that is, completely assure (or convince), entirely accomplish: -]; entire confidence: - (full) assurance, to permeated. (5) G1492, means, eidō i'-do A primary verb; used only in certain past tenses, the others being borrowed from the equivalent, G3700 and G3708; properly to see (literally or figuratively); by implication (in the perfect only) to know: - be aware, to perceive.) In embracing (6) the word as your own, even in the midst of great contradictions, the mirror(7) likeness of the LORD reflected in us was ignited in you with the joy of the Holy Spirit! ( 6, G1209, dechomai dekh'-om-ahee Middle voice of a primary verb; to receive favorably, to give ear to, embrace, make of one's own, approve of (in various applications, literally or figuratively): - accept, receive, take. 7, followers G3402, mimētēs mim-ay-tace' From G3401; an imitator: - follower, or mirror) And so the story unfolds; Your lives came to be the very mirror, modeling the Christ life and endorsing the faith of everyone throughout humanity. The word of the LORD found such an articulate voice in you and resounds forth to reach regions far beyond you! Not only in your immediate provinces, but in every place your faith concludes in a face to face encounter with GOD! You are the message! We need not say anything! (here the Greek pros, indicates direction, forward to; That is toward the destination of the relation. Face-to-face is the conclusion.) Others from these provinces testify of this; They recall how our visit to you has greatly influenced your lives to return to GOD and now, instead of being absorbed by the imaginary illusions of idolatry you are now engaged with GOD unveiled in real life! All along you remain focused on the Son of GOD Who revealed our joint-origin in the heavenliest. He endorsed our redeemed innocence in His resurrection! He has drawn(8) us to Himself and rescued us from every definition of judgment! (8, G4506, rhuomai rhoo'-om-ahee Middle voice of an obsolete verb, akin to G4482 (through the idea of a current; compare G4511); to rush or to draw (for oneself), that is, rescue)

This now completes this portion of our studies but know that I may look at the quotes from Isaiah that Jesus read in the temple.

Christ within You post number 2386

We are as far as I can tell on the last section of our study scripture of Genesis 2:7 and so here it is again:

Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

In 2385 we saw that Jesus used many metaphors of means to draw our attention to His mission, that being our eternal inseparable relationship with our designers and creator. As such we are then vessels of the Being and by that the proof that they do actually exist. And by His Holy Spirit we showed in both the OT and NT passages of thought, to back this all up. We are facing the last section of this process in, "man became a living soul."

Now for some links of scripture to back this up where to start?

1Corinthians 15:45 It is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; The last Adam (Jesus) was made a quickening spirit.

Romans 5:12-14 of 12-21 Wherefore, as by one man sin** entered into the world, and death by sin; So death passed upon all men**, for that all have sinned: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of Him that was to come. But not as or of the offense, so also is the free gift. For if through the offense of one many be dead (*the lost conscience of our origin and by that our true union of identity), much more the Grace of GOD, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, having abounded it* for many. Not as it* was by one that sinned (retained the lost conscience of it*), so is the gift (Christ conscienceness revived, refreshed): for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offenses for justification [G1345, root of G1344]. For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; Much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore** as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation**; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners (who knew not sin), so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover the Mosaic Law entered, that the offense might abound. For where sin abounded, grace and truth did much more abound: That as sin had reigned unto death, even so much more grace reign through righteousness (innocence) through eternal life by Jesus Christ our LORD. (I used *, and ** to show the link between the thoughts subject matter within this passage)

Strong's Greek: Justification is G1345 δικαίωμα dikaiōma dik-ah'-yo-mah From G1344; an equitable deed; by implication a statute or decision: - judgment, justification, ordinance, righteousness. [G1344 δικαιόω dikaioō dik-ah-yo'-o From G1342; to render (that is, show or regard as) just or innocent: - free, justify (-ier), be righteous; G1342 δίκαιος dikaios dik'-ah-yos From G1349; equitable (in character or act); by implication innocent, holy (absolutely or relatively): - just, meet, right (-eous). G1349 δίκη dikē dee'-kay Probably from G1166; right (as self evident), that is, justice (the principle, a decision, or its execution): - judgment, punish, vengeance. G1166 δεικνύω deiknuō dike-noo'-o A prolonged form of an obsolete primary of the same meaning; to show (literally or figuratively): - shew.

Numbers 16:22 The assembly, they fell upon their faces, and said, "O GOD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will You be wroth (vexed with compassion) with all the congregation?"

Learn the meaning of the following: Ecclesiastes 12:6 of 1-7 Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when you shall say, "I have no pleasure in them; While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened, and the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low; Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goes to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets: Or ever the silver cord be loosed (our eternal connection), or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. Then shall the dust (our body) return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return to GOD Who gave it."
All else is but Vanity of vanities, said the preacher; All is vanity.

Numbers 27:16-17 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh of man, set a man over the congregation, which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; That the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.

Pro 20:27 of 26-29 A wise king scatters the wicked, and brings the heel over them. The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly. Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholds mercy. The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head.

Zechariah 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, says the LORD, 'Who stretches forth the heavens, and laid (set) the foundation of the earth, and formed (Gen. 1:26-28, Leviticus 17:11,Gen. 2:7) the spirit of man within him.'

Jeremiah 31:31-37 'Behold, the days come,' saith the LORD, 'that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel (figurative of Humanity), and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which My covenant they broke, although I was an husband to them,' saith the LORD: 'But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel (again a metaphor for Humanity); After those days,' said the LORD, 'I will put My law (grace, love and Life) in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts [Christ the Name of Father]; And will be their GOD, and they shall be My people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, "Know the LORD:" for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,' saith the LORD: 'for I will forgive their iniquity (ignorance**), and I will remember their sin** no more.' Thus said the LORD, which gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divided the sea (this meaning humanity the congregation*) when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is His name: 'If those ordinances depart from before Me,' said the LORD, 'then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me for ever.' Thus said the LORD; 'If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel (Humanity) for all that they have done,' said the LORD. (again I repeated the use of * and ** for emphasize)

Hebrews 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?

This all should have new meaning now for the following:

Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the New Testament law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh (the Old Testament Laws); For they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death (man's religious systems established by the actions of Gen. 3, in which the knowledge of humanity's origin and identity vanished from mans mind, setting up the carnal mindset, enmity toward GOD); For to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against GOD: for it is not subject to the law of GOD, neither indeed can be (Rom. 12:1-3). So then they that are in the flesh (the old Testament systems, now disconnected, deleted) cannot please GOD. For you are not in the flesh, but of the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God [Christ] dwells in you. Now if any man have not the [knowledge of the] Spirit of Christ, he is none of His. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin (the flesh profiting nothing of the spirit, the inner man); For the Spirit of Comfort and Truth in our spirit is life because of righteousness. For if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwells in you.

Romans 12:1-2, 3 I beseech you therefore, brethren [humanity], by the mercies of GOD, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice on a daily bases, holy, acceptable to GOD, El, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, Will of GOD.
For I say, through the grace given to me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; But to think soberly, according as God having dealt to every man the measure of His faith.

Galatians 2:20 of 19-21 For I through the Mosaic Law, I am now dead to this law, that I might live as GOD designed for all Humanity to live. For humanity is as; I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; Yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for us all. I do not frustrate the grace of GOD: for if righteousness come by the Mosaic law [now dead], then Christ is dead in vain. [GOD having one way for all of His humanity in which His (H410, H430, H433, Gen. 1:26-28) life reigns, [Gen. 2:7, Lev. 17:11]

Until the next inspiration comes as the LORD Wills. I say the Amen, may it be so! from the east to the west and from the north to the south, allow it to be established, LORD!

Christ within You post number 2385

This morning at 3:21 am, I was awaken with an inspiration which is part of our passage of Genesis 2:7 so lets look at it again before moving to the last section of this passage, shall we? Also know that as per my usual habit I am editing the wording of the KJV to reflect today's language usage.

Genesis 2:7; 6:3; Lev. 17:11 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. (Leviticus 17:11, Genesis 1:2, 6:3, Exodus 31:3, 35:31 and Numbers 14:24; Matthew 3:16, 10:20)

The LORD God breathed the breath [H5301] of Life [H2416] into man: H2416 means quickening spirit, here's the LXX and then the Strong's

Strongs #2416: AHLB#: 1171-A (N)

1171) Ih% (Ih% HhY) ac: Live co: Stomach ab: Life: When the stomach is empty one is famished and week and when it is filled one is revived. This organ is seen as the life as an empty stomach is like death but a revived stomach is life. A) Ih% (Ih% HhY) ac: ? co: Stomach ab: Life

The Strong's: H2416

Genesis 6:3 The LORD said, 'My spirit [H7307] shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.'

Strongs #7307: AHLB#: 1445-J (N)

1445) Hr% (Hr% RHh) ac: Travel co: Path ab: ?: The pictograph r is a picture of the head of a man, the h is a picture of wall that separates the inside from the outside. Combined these mean "man outside". The responsibilities of the nomad outside of the tent include the feeding, watering and caring for the livestock. Livestock are healthier and more productive when on a routine, therefore the man follows a routine or "a prescribed path" each day when caring for his livestock. (eng: reek)

J) Hfr% (Hfr% RWHh) ac: Refresh co: Wind ab: ?: The Hebrew nomads were very familiar with the wind patterns as they would follow a prescribed path indicating the coming season. From this word comes the idea of breath as it is the wind of man which also follows a prescribed path of inhaling and exhaling. Nf) Hfr% (Hfr% RWHh) - Wind: Also the wind of man or god, the breath. [Hebrew and Aramaic] [freq. 380] |kjv: spirit, wind, breath, side, mind, blast, vain, air, anger, cool, courage, space, enlargement| {str: 7305, 7307}

The Strong's: H7305

reh'-vakh
From H7304; room, literally (an interval) or figuratively (deliverance): - enlargement, space.

H7304
רָוַח
râvach
raw-vakh'
A primitive root (rather identical with H7306); properly to breathe freely, that is, revive; by implication to have ample room: - be refreshed, large.

Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes an atonement for the soul. ( the NT in full and 1John 4 and 5)

Exodus 31:1, 3-5, 35:30-31 The LORD spake to Moses, saying, 'I have filled him with the spirit [H7304] of GOD, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, to devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship'.....35:30-31 And Moses said to the children of Israel, "See, the LORD has called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; And He has filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship."

This next passage we have looked at in the pass; Numbers 14:24 But My servant Caleb, because he had another spirit [H7307] with him, and has followed Me fully, him will I bring into the land where into he went; And his seed shall possess it.'

I might note that the H7307 is the primary number for "Spirit or spirit" in the OT now for the NT, where the primary number for Spirit is [G4151] which the Strong's Greek shows in Matthews 3:16-17 Jesus, when He was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened to Him, and John saw the Spirit of GOD descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, 'This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.'

The Strong's G4151
πνεῦμα
pneuma
pnyoo'-mah
From G4154; a current of air, that is, breath (blast) or a breeze; by analogy or figuratively a spirit, that is, (human) the rational soul, (by implication) vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or (superhuman) an angel, daemon, or (divine) God, Christ’s spirit, the Holy spirit: - ghost, life, spirit (-ual, -ually), mind.

Now for other relative references to: Mat. 10:20, Mark 1:10, 2:8, 8:12, Luke 1:47, 2:27, 4:18 and John 3:5-6, 8, 4:24, 6:63, 14:17, 15:26 and 16:13. I shall pull from just a few of these, but know that there are much more than these in the NT.

Mark 2:8 Immediately when Jesus perceived in His spirit [G4151] that they so reasoned within themselves, He said to them, 'Why reason these things in your hearts?'

Luke 1:46-47 Mary said, "my soul does magnify the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior."

Luke 2:27 of 25-32 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. And it was revealed to him by the Holy Ghost [G4151], that he should not see death, before he had seen the LORD'S Christ. And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, "Lord, now let You Your servant depart in peace, according to Your word: For my eyes have seen Your instrument of salvation, which You have prepared before the face of all people;
A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel."

Luke 4:17 There was delivered to Jesus the book of the prophet Isaiah [Isaiah 61:1-3]. When He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written, 'The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He having anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the LORD.' Then He closed the book, and He gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on Him. He began to say to them, 'This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.' (Isaiah 50:4)

John 3:5-6, 8 of 3-8 Jesus answering said to him, 'Verily, verily, I say to you Nicodemus, Except a man be born again [refreshed], he cannot see the kingdom of GOD.' To this Nicodemus said, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?" Jesus answered, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD. (1John 5) That which is born of the flesh is flesh; That which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said, You must be born again. (renewed from above) For the wind blows where it likes, and you heart the sound thereof, but can not tell whence it comes, and whither it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.'

John 4:24 of 19-24 The woman said to Jesus, "Sir, I perceive that you art a prophet. Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; And you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship." Jesus answered her, 'Woman, believe Me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. For you worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship Him. For God is Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.'

John 6:63 of 61-64 When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples murmured at it, He said to them, 'Does this offend you? What and if you shall see the Son of man ascend up where He was before? It is the spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you that believe not.' For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not.

John 14:17 of 15-21 Jesus is addressing the disciples; 'If you love Me, keep My commandments. I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of Truth; Whom the world cannot receive, because it sees Him not, neither knows Him: but you know Him; For He it is that dwells within you, and shall be with you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world sees Me no more; But you shall see Me: because I live, you shall live also. At that day you shall know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I in you. He that has My commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves Me: and he that loves Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him.'

John 15:26-27 of 18-27 Again Jesus is speaking: 'If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would loves it's own: but because you are not of the world, for I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the words that I spoken to you, The servant is not greater than his LORD [Master]. For they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; If they have kept My saying, they will keep yours also. For all these things will they do to you for My name's sake, because they know not (they have lost their knowledge of their origin and identity's understanding, it being set it aside in the Garden this noted in Genesis 3 after the warning of Genesis 2:17.) Him that sent Me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. He that hates Me hates My Father also. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both Me and My Father. But this came to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated Me without a cause [in Psalm 7:4, 35:19, 69:4, and 109:3] . But when the Comforter is come, Whom I will send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of Truth, which proceeds from the Father, He shall testify of Me: And you shall bear witness, because you have been with Me from before the beginning ([G746] this has two references the first is in Gen. 1:26-28 and the second is present active tense, now).'

Strong's Greek G746: ἀρχή archē ar-khay'
From G756; (properly abstract) a commencement, or (concrete) chief (in various applications of order, time, place or rank): - beginning, corner, (at the, the) first (estate), magistrate, power, principality, principle, rule. G756 ἄρχομαι archomai ar'-khom-ahee Middle voice of G757 (through the implication of precedence); to commence (in order of time): - rehearse from the) begin (-ning) G757 ἄρχω archō
ar'-kho A primary verb; to be first (in political rank or power): - reign (rule) over.

John 16:13-14 of 7-15 Again Jesus is speaking: 'Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come to you; But if I depart, I will send Him to you. And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on Me; Of righteousness [G1343], because I go to My Father, and you see Me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; But whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will show you things to come. He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and shall show it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of Mine, and shall show it to you.'

G1343 δικαιοσύνη dikaiosunē dik-ah-yos-oo'-nay From G1342; equity (of character or act); specifically (Christian) justification: - righteousness. G1342 δίκαιος dikaios dik'-ah-yos From G1349; equitable (in character or act); by implication innocent, holy (absolutely or relatively): - just, meet, right (-eous). G1349 δίκη dikē dee'-kay Probably from G1166; right (as self evident), that is, justice (the principle, a decision, or its execution): - judgment, punish, vengeance. G1166 δεικνύω deiknuō dike-noo'-o A prolonged form of an obsolete primary of the same meaning; to show (literally or figuratively):

This is what was shared with me in the wee hours of this morning to the best of my ability to share them, by way of remembrance. This is why I keep saying that we are in relationship, of unity with, not some man made up religion to satisfy a need deep within his stomach, innermost being. As we have seen the Spirit fills our frame, bones and blood for we are One with our designer and creator.

Christ within You post number 2384

Picking back up with our look at Genesis 2:7 where we left off in our last post.

Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

With the highlighted portion, "the breath of life;" beginning at Proverbs 20 at verse 27; Pro 20:27 of 27-29 The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly. Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upheld by mercy. The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head.

Job 32:8 of 7-10 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. For there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty gives them understanding. Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show my opinion.

Hebrews 4:12-13 of 9-13 There remains therefore a rest (Mat. 11:26-30) to the people of God. For he that is entered into His rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from His. Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. For the word of GOD is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: for all things are naked and opened to the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.

Isaiah 44:24 Thus said the LORD, your redeemer, and He that formed you from the womb, I am the LORD that made all things; That stretches forth the heavens alone; That spreads abroad the earth by Myself.

Isa 43:7 of 4-10 Since you are precious in My sight, you have been honorable, and I have loved you: therefore will I give men for you, and people for your life. Fear not: for I am with you: I will bring your seed from the east, and gather them from the west; I will say to the north, Give up; And to the south, Keep not back: bring My sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; Even every one that is called by My name: for I have created him for My glory, I have formed him; yes, I have made him. Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth. You are My witnesses, said the LORD, and My servant whom I have chosen: that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He: before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me.

Isa 42:5 of 5-7 Thus said God the LORD, He that created the heavens, and stretched them out; He that spread forth the earth, and that which comes out of it; He that gives breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: I the LORD have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and give you for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

It might be noted that Isaiah 42:5 is part of that which Jesus spoke as recorded by Matthew in chapter 12 beginning at verse 8 through 21 this dealing with Jesus being Lord of the Sabbath, in verses 15-21 quoted from Isaiah 42:1-3. This but one of two the second in Luke chapter 4 beginning at verse 16 through 30 being of verses 17-19 a quote of Isaiah 62:1-2 referencing back to Leviticus 25:10 speaks of the fiftieth year rest or jubilee.

Our next post we shall the LORD willing look at "man becoming a living soul" of our targeted scripture of study.

Christ within You post number 2383

Again we're examining Genesis 2:7 which states this: Gen 2:7 "The LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." The highlighted area is our subject matter of this study.

breathed Life into our nostrils: Job 27:3 of 1-6 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, as God lives, who has taken away my judgment; The Almighty, Who has vexed my soul; All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove my integrity from me. My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.

Our next passage is from a witness of Elihu a friend of Job in: Job 33:4 of 1-7 Wherefore, Job, I pray you, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words. Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue has spoken in my mouth. My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly. For the Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty has given me life. If you can answer me, set your words in order before me, stand up. Behold, I am according to your wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay. Behold, my terror shall not make you afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon you.

Our next area is titled the day of reckoning coming in Isaiah 2:22 of 12-22, picking up at 11: Isa 2:22 of 11-22 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; And he shall be brought low: and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, and upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, and upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols He shall utterly abolish. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of His majesty, when He arises to shake terribly the earth. In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of His majesty, when He arises to shake terribly the earth. Cease you from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?

This is a record of shortly after Jesus' resurrection: John 20:22 of 19-23 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in their midst, and said unto them, 'Peace be to you.' When He had so said, He showed them His hands and His side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. Then said Jesus to them again, 'Peace be to you: as My Father has sent Me, even so send I you.' And when He had said this, after He breathed on them, and said to them, Receive the Holy Ghost: 'Whose soever sins you remit, they are remitted (G863, forgiven) to them; And whose soever sins you retain, they are retained.'

Paul is speaking here: Act 17:25 of 22-31 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, "Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious (ie..very religious). For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore you ignorantly worship, Him declare I to you. The GOD that made the world and all things therein, seeing that He is LORD of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed any thing, seeing* He gives to all life, and breath, and all things; And having made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and having determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the LORD, if haply they might feel after Him, and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us: For in Him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, 'For we are all His offspring." For as much then as we are the offspring of GOD, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like gold, or silver, or stone, graven by the artfulness of man's device. The times of this ignorance GOD winked at; But now commands all men every where to remittance: Because He having appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom He having ordained; Whereof He has given assurance to all men, in that He having raised Him from the dead."

seeing He gives Life*: Job 12:10 of 7-12, 34:14 of 10-15 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach you; And the fowls of the air, and they shall tell you: or speak to the earth, and it shall teach you: and the fishes of the sea shall declare to you. Who know not in all these that the hand of the LORD has wrought this? In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. Does not the ear try words? and the mouth taste His meat? With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding....Therefore hearken to me, you men of understanding: far be it from GOD, that He should do wickedness; From the Almighty, that He should commit iniquity. For the works of man shall He render to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways. Yes, surely GOD will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment. Who has given Him a charge over the earth? or who has disposed the whole world? If He set His heart upon man, if He gather to Himself His spirit and His breath; Then All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again to dust.

Christ within You post number 2382

I had the idea to use verse 5 to kick off this portion of our studies of Genesis 2. But...there were no references of man's being formed therein it so I had to look at verse 7, and remember that we have studied the words usages in prior studies of 2380 and 2381, which states this, again using the KJV. Now before I get into our search, I will say this, we are going to try to stick to the referenced passages before we look at key words references as our targets of study and I will try to keep this brief.

Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man* of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life [Lev. 17:11 and Heb. 13:10]; And man became a living soul*.

Here's a list of those passages that are made within the context of the KJV Bible, that we shall draw from:

Isaiah 64:8, Psalm 100:3, Job 27:3, 33:4, Psalm 139:14-15, Acts 17:25, Genesis 7:22 [Ecclesiastes 3:21], Isaiah 2:22, Numbers 27:16, Proverbs 20:27, Zechariah 12:1 [soul, 1Corinthians 15:45] and any other reference that may fit into the senior of our search studies.

formed man: beginning at the beginning: Psalm 100:3 of 1-5 A Psalm of praise. Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all you of the lands. Reverence the LORD with gladness: come before His presence with singing. Know that the LORD, He is God: it is He that has made us, and not we ourselves; We humans are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Therefore Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful for Him, and bless His name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endures through all generations.

Isaiah 64:8 But now, O LORD, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And we all are the work** of Your hand.

**all are the works of Your hands: Isaiah 43:7 of 5-9 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; I will say to the north, Give up; And to the south, Keep not back: bring My sons from far, My daughters from the ends of the earth; Even every one that is called by My name: for I have created him for My glory, I have formed him; Yes, I have made him. Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears (Is. 50, in a prior study). Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

Isaiah 44:24 of 24-26 Thus says they LORD, your redeemer, and He that formed you in the womb, I am the LORD that makes all things; That stretched forth the heavens alone; That spreads abroad the earth by Myself; That frustrates the tokens of the liars, and makes diviners mad; That turns wise men backward, and makes their knowledge foolish; That confirms the word of His servant's, and performs the counsel of His messengers;

Psalm 119:73 of 71-75 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I might learn Your statutes. The law of Your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver. Your hands have made me and fashioned me: given me understanding* (Is. 50, of prior studies, counted among the learned), that I may learn Your commandments. They that fear (reverence) You will be glad when they see me; Because I have hoped in Your word. I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are right, and that You in faithfulness have afflicted me. *Psa 138:8 The LORD will perfect that which concerns me: Your mercy, O LORD, endures forever: forsake not the works of Your own hands. Psa 139:14 of 1-18 O LORD, You have searched me, and known me. You know my down-sittings and my uprising, You understand my thought afar off. You compass my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, You know it altogether. You have beset me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it. Where shall I go from Your spirit? Or where shall I flee from Your presence? If I ascend up into heaven, You are there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall Your hand lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; Even the night shall be light about me. Yes, if the darkness hides me, not from You; For the night shines as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to You. For You have possessed my reins: You have covered me in my mother's womb**. I will praise You; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are Your works; And that my soul knows right well. My very substance is not hid from You, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth***. Your eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect***; In Your book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts of me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with You. Ephesians 2:10 of 4-10 For God, Who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loves us, even when we were dead (unknowingly so, Gen. 3's results, Israel's unbelief) in sins, having quickened us together with Christ, (by grace we are saved[healed of Isaiah 53:5, Hosea 6:1-3, Galatians 2:20];) Having raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His loving kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are we are the saved through His faith; That not of yourselves: it is the gift of GOD: Not of works [based on the Mosaic Law], lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which GOD having before ordained that we should walk in them.

I shall stop now as there are many things to bring to our attention yet remaining.

Christ within You post number 2381

With this post we shall begin our look for referenced passages of studied words that confirm these words of the last post. This taken from Genesis 2:4-8 with the focus on verses 5 and 7 so let's get it up here and running shall we? It should be noted that when using the LXX that the images shown in the context of the referenced subject when copied does not move forward but is replaced by a letter or a simple dot. It is this pictorial reference that the Bible translators saw and used for their translations though the fog of their religious preferences...meaning interfered with their vision and thusly their understanding. This I have tried to steer away from as best I can, depending on the Holy Spirit as He has perfected within me, and my heart conscientiousness. This caught by Paul and expressed by him in Romans 12:1-3. Again using the old standard KJV, with my usual editing.

Genesis 2:5 , 7 of 4-8 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, when every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD [H3068] God [H430] had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But when there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. The LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; And man became a living soul. And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there He (more properly this should be They as it references Elohiym) put the man whom He had formed.

H3068: from the LXX and then the Strong's: It seems there is a glitch in my e-Sword program in regards to H3068 as it does not appear in the LXX glossary of word indexes[???]. So I shall move on to the Strong's:

H3068
יְהֹוָה
yehôvâh
yeh-ho-vaw'
From H1961; (the) self Existent or eternal; Jehovah, Jewish national name of God: - Jehovah, the LORD. Compare H3050, H3069.

H1961 the LXX:

Strongs #1961: AHLB#: 1097-M (V)

1097) Ee% (Ee% HH) ac: Breathe co: Breath ab: Exist: The pictograph e represents one who is looking at a great sight with his hands raised and taking a long breath. The pictograph e represents one who is looking at a great sight with his hands raised and taking a long breath.

J) Efe% (Efe% HWH) ac: Exist co: Breath ab: ?
V) Ee% (Efe% HWH) - Exist: To exist or have breath. That which exists has breath. In Hebrew thought the breath is the character of someone or something. Just as a man has character, so do objects. [Hebrew and Aramaic] [freq. 75] (vf: Paal) |kjv: be, hath, was| {str: 1933, 1934}
M) Eie% (Eie% HYH) ac: Exist co: Breath ab: ?
V) Eie% (Eie% HYH) - Exist: To exist or have breath. That which exists has breath. In Hebrew thought the breath is the character of someone or something. Just as a man has character, so do objects. [A generic verb with a wide application meaning to exist or be] [freq. 74] (vf: Paal, Niphal) |kjv: was, come to pass, came, been, happened, become, pertained, better for thee| {str: 1961}

Now for the Strong's: H1961
הָיָה
hâyâh
haw-yaw'
A primitive root (compare H1933); to exist, that is, be or become, come to pass (always emphatic, and not a mere copula or auxiliary): - beacon, X altogether, be (-come, accomplished, committed, like), break, cause, come (to pass), continue, do, faint, fall, + follow, happen, X have, last, pertain, quit (one-) self, require, X use.

H1933
הָוָה הָוָא
hâvâ' hâvâh
haw-vaw', haw-vaw'
A primitive root (compare H183, H1961) supposed to mean properly to breathe; to be (in the sense of existence): - be, X have.

Now for the H430, the LXX:Strongs #430: AHLB#: 1012-H (c)

1012) La% (La% AL) ac: Yoke co: Ox ab: Strength: The pictograph a is a picture of an ox head and also represents its strength. The l is a picture of a shepherd staff and also represents the authority of the shepherd. Combined these two pictographs mean "the strong authority" and can be anyone or thing of strong authority. The yoke is understood as a "staff on the shoulders" (see Isaiah 9:4 and Matthew 11:29-30) in order to harness their power for pulling loads such as a wagon or plow. Hence, the two pictographs can also represent "the ox in the yoke". Often two oxen were yoked together. An older, more experienced ox would be teamed up (yoked) with a younger, less experienced ox. The older ox in the yoke is the "strong authority" who, through the yoke, teaches the younger ox. (eng: all; elk; elephant)

H) Ela% (Ela% ALH) ac: Swear co: Yoke ab: ?: The yoking together of two parties. A treaty or covenant binds two parties together through an oath (yoke). The oath included blessings for abiding by the covenant and curses for breaking the covenant (see Deuteronomy 28). The God of the Hebrews was seen as the older ox that is yoked to His people in a covenant relationship.

cm) Efla% (Efla% A-LWH) - Power: The power or might of one who rules or teaches. One who yokes with another. Often applied to rulers or a god. [Hebrew and Aramaic] [df: hla] [freq. 2663] |kjv: GOD, God, god, heathen deity| {str: 430, 433}

Now for the Strong's: H430
אֱלֹהִים
'ĕlôhı̂ym
el-o-heem'
Plural of H433; gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme GOD; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative: - angels, X exceeding, God (gods) (-dess, -ly), X (very) great, judges, X mighty.

H433
אֱלֹהַּ אֱלוֹהַּ
'ĕlôahh 'ĕlôahh
el-o'-ah, el-o'-ah
(The second form is rare); probably prolonged (emphatically) from H410; a deity or the deity: - GOD, God, god. See H430.

H410
אֵל
'êl
ale
Shortened from H352; strength; as adjective mighty; especially the Almighty (but used also of any deity): - GOD, God (god), X goodly, X great, idol, might (-y one), power, strong. Compare names in “-el.”

Today, we know Him, Them, as Light, Life and Love. All of which resides within our very being and has always been there as the image and likeness of our being. This described in Leviticus 17:11 and later in Hebrews 13:10, not to leave out John's many gospel messages, including Revelation. This all the doctrine of Jesus as the Christ one Who revealed this name of our Father first to His disciples and then to Israel and then to Saul who became Paul. Who said later to us. After his conversion or refreshing, conversion took place on the Damascus road as stated in Acts 9, when he made his escape from Damascus. The conversion was like that of Abram when he made his escape from his father's house and GOD then changed his name to Abraham and said that those who would follow in his footsteps would be of many Nations, tribes, nationalities and tongues.

So much for looking at connected passages of scripture maybe for tomorrow, the LORD Willing.

Christ within You post number 2380

For the past 16 years of doing this blog postings, I have chosen use a numbering system for each topic area, with today's post I will use the sequence number in place of topic numbers. Now before I get into meat of our study I want to say this, since the advances in medical technology we now know that the passage of Leviticus 17:11 is within all of humanity as DNA with the Laminin protein found in 2015 with the use of an electronic microscope, which is the very image of the cross as the altar in this passage and that of Heb. 13:10, this stated Genesis 1:26-28 in a veiled language, because of this many other scripture passages are needed to make this clear, and this is backed up with what Jesus Himself has stated. Some believe because of the wording that man is the express "image and likeness" of his Creator as apposed to having His (Their, the meaning of Elohiym, which John bears record of in 1John 4 and 5) being within our form. The life of the blood is manufactured within our bone structure the marrow within the bone. This the reason for woman being made of the bone or rib of man (Genesis 2:18, 21-24); GOD could not make another of it's (Adam's) from. He had to make the second from the first. Thereby establishing a biblical principle or law. As we wait upon the LORD Jesus we will learn more of Him and may become of the learned once again, our heart ears being opened by Him.

Now for my first passage of study comes from Genesis 2:5 part "c," and verse 7, which states the highlighted portions, it being taken out of the thought verses of 4 through 9, I am using the KJV, with some editing.

Genesis 2:5c, 7 of 4-9 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made (spoke them into being by His breathe as scene in Gen. 1:1 [26-28]-2:3) the earth and the heavens, and every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man (H120 from H119) to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. It was then that the LORD God formed (H3335 [H853]) man of the dust of the ground, and breathed (H5301) into his nostrils the breath (H5397) of life (H2416, Lev. 17:11; Heb. 13:10); And man became a living soul (H5315). And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there He put the man whom He had formed (H3335). Out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; The tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Now for the referenced Hebrew words and their meanings, this in part taken from the LXX and maybe the Strong's Hebrew word meanings? I am not at this moment sure if I'll include them.

H120: Strongs #120: AHLB#: 1082-C (N)

1082) Md% (Md% DM) ac: ? co: Blood ab: Likeness: The pictograph d is a door representing the idea of moving back and forth. The m is a picture of water and can represent any liquid especially blood. Combined these pictures mean "the moving back and forth of water" or the "flowing of blood".

Christ within You .011.03

Because of the current postings in other ares I am doing another section to this as more of a necessary understanding of how the faith of Jesus works to our benefit. This will begin with a copy and paste of Pastor Heokstra's teaching in my e-Sword program that is to follow. This to include the meaning of both redemption and salvation from the Webster Dictionary. I'll start with the Dictionary's meanings.

Redemption: the instant process of redeeming, atonement is another term.

Salvation: the deliverance from the power and effects of sin, the agent or means that effect salvation, liberation from ignorance or the illusion of; the preservation from destruction or failure, deliverance from danger or difficulty.

Assurance of Salvation through Faith

And this is the testimony: that GOD has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of GOD does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe the Son of GOD [it should be noted that all of humanity is this son], that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe the Son of GOD. (1John 5:11-13)

If we are to grow in grace, we must live by Jesus' faith. "Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace" (Romans 4:16). If our trusting in His faith is to develop and mature, we must know where faith comes from. Jesus (and His word) is the source of our faith. "Looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith . . . faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of GOD" (Hebrews 12:2 and Romans 10:17). As we get to know our LORD Jesus better and better, as we get into His word more and more, our trust grows into His faith which then increases. As our trust of Him and His faith grows, we experience the grace of GOD in increasing ways. One of the wonderful workings ie,,benefits of God's grace is to bring us assurance of salvation through faith.

Some people wonder if they are saved. Others hope that they are saved. Still others think that they might be saved. GOD actually wants people to know that they are saved. "These things I have written to you who believe the Son of GOD, that you may know that you have eternal life." Of course, salvation (the gift of eternal life) is given to those who "believe the Son of GOD." This means that they trust in the person and work of Christ, the Christ is the activated image and likeness of our origin and true identity, this takes place by the Holy Spirit's renewing of his knowledge. They believe He is GOD, the Son, of which all of humanity is, as One. They believe He died and rose victorious over sin and death. Many who have entered into salvation are, nonetheless, without assurance of this great gift.

Assurance is imparted through the consideration of the previous testimony of the faithful and true word of GOD, that remains resident within humanity. "And this is the testimony: that GOD has given us eternal life, and this life is His Son and the son of our origin." The gift of eternal life has truly been provided for by the LORD God of our humanity by the knowledge restored to us all. However, the Father wants us to be reminded that this eternal life is "in His Son." Everlasting life is not some "packaged blessing" that comes to us separated from Jesus, as man's religions proclaim. This life GOD has for us is found through a renewed relationship with a person, Jesus. If we have Jesus in our lives, we have the life that is found in Him. "He who has the Son has life; He who does not have the Son of GOD does not have life." If we have invited the LORD into our lives, He now dwells in us. "As many as received Him, to them He gives the right to become children of GOD, again."

(John 1:12). Jesus gives us assurance of salvation through faith in Him.

LORD Jesus, I thank You for coming into me as Life, Light and Love unconditionally, when I received You by Your faith and Father's faithfulness. Therefore, I know that I have eternal life, since that life is in You. Thank You for the grace that brings such assurance through simple trust in Father's faith in You, Amen.

Now i hope that I have not caused anyone dismay by my observations as they follow what is revealed in .011, .011.01, .011.02 and now .011.03.

Christ within You .011.02

In this section of .11.02 we will do a short version of scripture examination, this taken from Isaiah 50:4-8 which states this:

Isaiah 50:4-8 The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of the learned [6], that I should know how to speak [sustain, 1] a word in season to him that is weary: he wakens me morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear as the learned. The Lord GOD has opened [2] my ear, I was not [3] rebellious, neither turned away back. I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. For the Lord GOD will help [4] me; Therefore shall I not [5] be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. He is nearer that justifies me; Who will contend with me? Let us stand together [7]: who is my adversary? Let him come near to me.

[1] speak or sustain: Psalm 5:3 of 3-6, 88:13 of 11-13, 119:147 of 144-149, 143:8 of 7-8 My voice shalt You hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning will I direct my prayer (thoughts) to You, and will look up. For You are not a God that has pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with You. The foolish shall not stand in Your sight: You hate all workers of iniquity. You shall destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.......Shall Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or Your faithfulness in destruction? Shall Your wonders be known in the dark? and Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? For to You have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent [hasten] You..... The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. I cried with my whole heart; Hear me, O LORD: I will keep Your statutes. I cried to You; save me, and I shall keep Your testimonies. I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hope in Your word. My eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in Your word. Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to Your judgment.....Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit fails in me: hide not Your face from me, lest I be like them that go down into the pit. Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning; For in You do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; For I lift up my soul to You.

[2] opened my ear: Psalm 40:6-8; Isaiah 35:5 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; my ears have You opened: burnt offering and sin offering You not required. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do Your will, O my God: yes, Your law is within my heart.

Isaiah 35:5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

[3] I was not: Matthew 26:39, (John 8:29, 14:31, 15:10; Hebrews 5:8 of 7-10, 10:7 of 5-10) And He went a little further, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me: nevertheless not as I will, but as You will.

John 8:28-29 Then said Jesus to them, 'When you have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; But as My Father has taught Me, I speak these things. And He that sent Me is with Me: the Father has not left Me alone; For I do always those things that please Him.

John 14:29-31 'I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, you might believe. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world comes, having nothing in Me. But that the world may know that I love the Father; As the Father gave Me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.'

John 15:9-12 'As the Father loves Me, so have I loved you: continue in My love. If you keep My commandments, you shall abide in My love; Even as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love. These things have I spoken to you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is My commandment, That you love one another, as I love you.'

Hebrews 5:7-10 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears to Him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation to all them that obey Him; Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

Hebrews 10:5-10 Wherefore when he come into the world, he said, 'Sacrifice and offering You would not, but a body hast You prepared Me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You have had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do Your will, O GOD.' Above when He said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin You would not, neither had pleasure therein; Which are offered by the law; Then said He, 'Lo, I come to do Your will, O God. He toke away the first, that He may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of our body a living sacrifice of Jesus Christ once for all.

[4] help me: Isaiah 42:1-2, 49:8-10 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; My elect, in whom My soul delights; I have put My spirit upon him: He shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause His voice to be heard in the street....Thus says the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard you, and in a day of salvation have I helped you: and I will preserve you, and give you for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages; That you may say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places. They shall not hunger nor thirst; Neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that has mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.

[6] the tongue of the learned: Exodus 4:11-12; Matthew 7:28-29 The LORD said, Who has made man's mouth? or who makes the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD? Now therefore go, and I will be with tour mouth, and teach you what you shall say.

Matthew 7:28-29 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at His doctrine: For He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Luke 4:32 And they were astonished at His doctrine: for His word was with power.

[7] let us stand together: 1Corinthians 4:3-5 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yes, I judge not my own self. For I know nothing by myself; Yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judges me is the LORD. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the LORD come, Who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of GOD.

Needless to say even my notes were confusing but with the Holy Spirit guidance all seems to have worked out okay.

Christ within You .011.01

I want to ask this one simple question of you, what is the assignment that governs the Holy Spirit's work and operations? Simple answer is the revealing of Christ Jesus within us, the Holy Spirit as our comforter and Spirit of all Truth [John 14:26, 15:26, it is the work of the Holy Spirit to open up the secret things of GOD and the mysteries of Christ in us, human beings, Hebrews 9:23, John 17:23], this is what He does and does the best. I want to look at Isaiah 50:4-8 but before I do I will look at Isaiah 57 where we find this:

[The work of the Holy Spirit: John 14:26, 15:26 Jesus is speaking, 'For the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, Whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said to you.....For when the Comforter is come, Whom I will send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of Truth, which proceeds from the Father, He shall testify of Me:'"]

Isaiah 57:14-19 "'And shall say, Cast up, cast up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block out of the way of My people. For thus says the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before Me, and the souls which I have made. For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid Me, and was wroth, and he went on forwardly in the way of his heart. I have seen his ways, and will heal (restore) him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners. For I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, says the LORD; and I will heal him.'"

Now for Isaiah 50:4-10, "The LORD God has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: He wakens me morning by morning, He waken my ear to hear as the learned. The LORD God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. I gave my back to the smiters, and My cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not My face from shame and spitting. For the LORD God will help me; Therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set My face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. He is near that justifies me; Who will contend with me? Let us stand together: who is my adversary? Let him come near to me. Behold, the LORD God will help Me; Who is he that shall condemn me? Lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; The moth shall eat them up. Who is among you that fears the LORD, that obey the voice of His servant, that walks in darkness, and having no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.'"

Then again looking to Isaiah, Isaiah tells us that it is GOD Who is our strength in Isaiah 49:5-7 where we fine this: Now, says the LORD that formed me from the womb to be His servant, to bring humanity (Jacob) again to Him, though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength. For He said, 'It is a light thing that you should be My servant to raise up the tribes of humanity (Jacob), and to restore the preserved of the nations (Israel): I will also give you for a light to the Gentiles, that you may be My salvation to the end of the earth.' Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of nations (Israel), and His Holy One, to Him Whom man despise, to Him Whom the nations abhorred, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD is the faithful one, and the Holy One of the Nations (Israel), and He has chosen you.'"

So where does this leave us today if we have not the Holy Spirit? In darkness as there is no light within us, man's religions then have success.

Christ within You .011

With this post we will begin looking at a new thought of greatest of interests and importance, this taken from a thought shared in my e-Sword Bible Study aid program. This shared by Pastor Heokstra to begin with, but with little editing where and when necessary....as a child of the resurrection and the renewed life and mind/heart by the Holy Spirit. This being taken from Isaiah 50:4-7 at first then I shall the LORD willing bring in the rest that follows, in our next spot.

"Jesus, the Ultimate Example of Faith's Results"

The LORD God has given Me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary . . . The LORD God has opened My ear . . . I gave My back to those who struck Me, and My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard; I did not hide My face from shame and spitting. For the LORD God will help Me; Therefore I will not be disgraced; Therefore I have set My face like a flint, and I know that I will not be ashamed. (Isaiah 50:4-7)

In our previous prophetic verse's studies, we have shown that the promised Servants of the Lord would undertake within the guidelines of His Messianic mission through faith in His and our own Heavenly Father. "My God shall be My strength" (Isaiah 49:5). These verses depict Jesus as the ultimate example of faith. Now, in corresponding prophetic passages reveal the blessed consequences of our trusting in the Lord Jesus and after His ascension the LORD of Lords. Herein, we see Jesus as the ultimate example of the Father's faith results. It is this very "faith" that our Father exhibits within us all who follow in the footsteps of Jesus.

Once again, the prophetic properties that are the Messiah's become ours by our and His Heavenly Father. The confessions of Jesus (trusting the Father) comprise the prophetic statements. "The LORD God has given Me the tongue of the learned." Jesus was "discipled" day by day by the Father (certainly using, in part, His and our godly parents). "The LORD God has opened My ear." This equipped Jesus to minister to burdened lives: "that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary." In fact, people are amazed in general at the manner in which He and we also speak. "So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth" (Luke 4:22).

As Jesus would trusted the Father, He would also be prepared for the mounting difficulties that He would face. "I gave My back to those who struck Me, and My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard; I did not hide My face from shame and spitting." In His and our approaching the cross, these prophecies of Jesus (and the enablement He found through depending upon the Father) were fulfilled. "Then they spat in His face and beat Him; And others struck Him with the palms of their hands" (Matthew 26:67). Though He knew all of this awaited Him before He came, for His humanity and to Jerusalem that last time, He put His faith in the Father. "For the LORD God will help Me; Therefore I will not be disgraced; Therefore I have set My face like a flint, and I know that I will not be ashamed." The Father helped Him as He does us all. Still He marched on resolutely to keep His redemption (not to be mixed with salvation, as these two have slightly different meanings and purposes) appointment at the cross (as we are the children of the resurrection and ascension). "Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem" (Luke 9:51). These are the wonderful consequences of Father's faith.

Father, Your Son, my Savior, was prepared, strengthened, sustained, and used through faith in You. I need to experience in my own life these same blessed results of Your faith. Please build my trust into Your faith, more and more, for Your glory and service, Amen.

As stated we are looking at this from the viewpoint of our re-birthing this of our origin and identity through the co-processes of death, decent into the pit, burial, resurrection and ascension from which we gain the benefit of a renewed mind/heart; While we travel here on earth as pilgrims awaiting our calling out (salvation, not redemption) from among them of darknesses grip. The hardest part is our willingness to accept our own passing from death's grip into eternal life again and this by the Holy Spirit restored, reconstituted within us all.

Christ within You .010.6

I had another thought to share but today's study of Pastor Hoekstra's posts speaks to the situations of today with some clearness so here goes:

Scorn for the Scornful, Grace for the Humble:

Surely He scorns the scornful, but gives grace to the humble. (Proverbs 3:34)

The scriptures emphasize the Lord's commitment to pour out grace upon those who walk in humility, while opposing the path of those who walk in pride. "But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: 'GOD resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble' . . . Be clothed with humility, for 'GOD resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble' . . . Though the LORD is on high, Yet He regards the lowly; But the proud He knows from afar" (James 4:6; 1Peter 5:5; and Psalm138:6). In our present verse we have another pointed example. "Surely He scorns the scornful, but gives grace to the humble."

It is an absolute certainty that the LORD will scorn the scornful. "Surely He scorns the scornful." The scornful person shows arrogant disregard for the LORD and His righteous ways. The scornful one is a mocker of godliness and a boaster in wickedness. The LORD will assuredly scorn such people. He will treat them with a holy disdain. He will reject their path with holy contempt.

For so many of us who have a heart for the LORD, walking scornfully before the LORD is not a likely threat. However, somewhat related attitudes may become a part of our walk (even inadvertently). Pride and haughtiness are two of the most common, and most deadly. "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall" (Proverbs 16:18). These companion evils can be summarized as self-exaltation. Such an approach to life always results in devastating downfalls. These attitudes and their consequences are most fully illustrated by the history of the devil himself. Before he became the ultimate rebel against GOD, he was a magnificent, privileged angelic being. "You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; you were on the holy mountain of GOD . . . You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, till iniquity was found in you." (Eze. 28:14-15). This iniquity that developed was self-exaltation. "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! . . . For you have said in your heart: . . . I will be like the Most High" (Isa. 14:12-14). This haughty exalting of self brought a disastrous fall, which will end up forever in hell itself.

May we daily chose to walk with God's humble saints, refusing to join the ranks of the proud, with their self-advancing schemes. "Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud" (Pro. 16:19).

LORD God Most High, I request forgiveness for the times that I have exalted myself over Your word by deed or attitude. I renounce the prideful path of self-advancing humanity. I want to identify with Your humble saints, looking to You to shape and use our lives through Your abounding grace, Amen."

My own thought for this post was a bit different, it dealing with wisdom and how to acquire wisdom. But can you see what I mean with this sharing, how does all that we are facing these days can be summed up herein?
