The Truth that sets all of Humanity Free part 10c.4

     Today's thought is taken from a word study that is part of my e-Sword program that is very relevant to what we've been sharing here. The Truth that sets all of Humanity Free! The Redemption of the Nations.

Our Reigning in Life through Christ:

"For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of Grace and the gift of righteousness of Christ, will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ." (Romans 5:17)

     The LORD of the OT is the same LORD of the New Covenant; Who wants us to grow in the knowledge and the  magnificent blessing of living victoriously in Him. Having a triumphant Christ life walk can only be realized by a developing (knowledge) acquaintanceship and relationship within the LORD, because we are only able to "reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ." Our having ascend into the heavenliest place and are now seated at the right hand side of Father in Christ Jesus, our position of origin.

     The significant spiritual issues are set within a victorious life: "By the one man's offense death reigned through the one." Because of Adam's sin, spiritual deadness (a type of deep sleep as seen in the account of Lazarus) ruled over the family of man. The enemy of men's souls uses this deadness to dominate and destroy lives. Elsewhere, Jesus likened him to a thief. "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy" (John 10:10). This is why lives, households, and nations experience such deadly defeats and crushing failures. A tyrannical dictator, "death," dominates all lives that are only born once in Adam, being flesh ruled. They can only draw upon Adam's loss of conscientiousness of his true identity which he experienced in Genesis 2, and by that the taking on sinfulness, an inadequate life source in Genesis 3.

     A new and greater resource was needed and is found in Christ. "Much more those who receive abundance of Grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ." These heavenly provisions are "much more" than is needed to replace the mindset of defeatism (fostered by man's religions, in Genesis 3:15) of Adam's (Genesis 3 actions) with the victories that are ours in Christ (of the, death and burial of Jesus' provision with the resurrection, the knowing the resurrections power and provision). The abiding in Him and His abiding within us. The resources are two-fold: "abundance of Grace and of the gift of Righteousness." they being part of our having the image and likeness of Elohiym within our being, known as the life in the blood of Leviticus 17:11 within which is mentioned the altar of our being as the Lord Jesus requested of His followers, which Paul repeats in Rom 12:1-2 "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of GOD, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to GOD, which is your reasonable service. 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." All of this has been spoken of this section of our blog.

     One of these two is possessed by every believer in Christ: "the gift of righteousness." This is the righteousness of the LORD resurrected and ascended Jesus, given to us by His faith. That allows us to stand accepted before a Holy GOD: "found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through the faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from GOD by His faith" (Philippians 3:9). Every believer has this gift, but not every believer is victorious. Why? Because they lack the necessary knowledge of the LORD.

     Thus, the key variable is to be receiving "abundance of Grace." Every Christian has been the recipient of Grace. Yet, not many of GOD'S people do not live day by day by Grace. They walk according to the flesh, thereby drawing upon Adam's natural bankrupt resources. Remember, living by Grace involves humility and trusting in GOD'S promises and mercies daily. GOD "gives grace to the humble" (James 4:6). Likewise, through Jesus,"we have access by His faith into this Grace in which we stand" (Romans 5:2)." Not of our works but rather by His Faith and faithfulness.

"LORD GOD of Grace, the reign of death has certainly assailed life, bringing defeat and failure. Teach all of Humanity to draw upon the abundant measures of Your Grace, that Humanity might reign in life, living victoriously, through Your Son, Christ Jesus, Amen."

The Truth that sets all of Humanity Free part 10c.3

     Last evening while my wife Glenda was watching internet TV, I was rereading what is in part 10c.2. When I discovered another revelation of word meaning and purpose though hidden from view of our observations of scriptures content placed there by the translators of long ago. Or maybe it was just the Strong's people I don't know? For when I looked at the LXX in my e-Sword program I found the largest of gold nugget, a true pearl of greatest of prices ever. Knowing that I have found many over the years of listening to the Holy Spirit before and while sharing these things, since the remake of this blog in 2009. Now back to my looking into what is stated in a think tank conference between GOD our Father, His  Son and Holy Spirit and maybe a board of advisers, or councilors before the creation ever began. Okay, so back to Genesis 1:26-28, then the revealing of this discovery begins, by now we know that the word GOD is a plural word meaning that there are parts of, not just a one person or Spirit but rather at least three, okay so here goes:

Genesis 1:26-28 "GOD said, 'Let Us make man in our image, after Our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.' So GOD created man in His (Their) Own image, in the image of GOD created He (They) him; male and female created He (They) them. GOD blessed them, and God said to them, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.'" Now one would think that this nugget was within the area that I have bolder in color, but know this it is not so, at this point. To back what is said here GOD chose to strengthen this passage with others of its supportive roll. These being the following:

Genesis 5:1-2 "This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that GOD created man, in the likeness of GOD made He him; Male and female created He them; And blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created." 

1Corinthians 11:7 "For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, inasmuch as he is the image and glory of GOD: but the woman is the glory of the man." 

2Corinthians 3:18  "For we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the LORD, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." 

Ephesians 4:20-24 "For we have not so learned Christ; If so be that we have heard Him, and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that we put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupted according to the deceitful lusts; Be renewed in the spirit of your mind; That you put on the new man, which after GOD is created in righteousness and true holiness."

Colossians 3:1-4, 11 of 5-17 "If we then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of GOD. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For we are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in GOD. 

When Christ, Who is our life, shall appear, then shall we also appear with Him in glory. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; Fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: for which things' sake the wrath of GOD'S compassionate Love comes on the children of disobedience: In the which we also walked some time, when we lived in (among) them (as they so live). But now we also put off all these; Anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that we have put off the old man with his deeds; Having put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created humanity (Through Adam): where there was neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. Put on therefore, as the elect of GOD, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do we. And above all these things put on charity (GOD'S compassion's mercies), which is the bond of perfectness. And let the Peace of GOD rule in your hearts, to which also we are called in One Body; Be Thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; Teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with Grace in your hearts to the LORD. And whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to GOD our Great Father by Him."

Hebrews 1:3 of 1-4 "GOD, Who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, having in these last days spoken to us by His Son, Whom He appointed heir of all things, by Whom also He made the worlds; Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word (of promises of His Faith's expression) of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Being made so much better than the angels, as He having by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they." 

Hebrews 12:9-10 "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? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; But He for our profit, that we might be partakers of His holiness."

Then James states this: James 3:8-10 "For the tongue can no man tame; It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we GOD, even the Father; And therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of GOD. Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be."

Now for the why of the last statement here shared and what I found buried with the context of Genesis 1:26-28. I will use selective numbering therein. And I must again say that when even a word or phrase is repeated in close proximity it, they, mean this is done with purpose or impact and not to be looked over.

Genesis 1:26-28 "GOD said, 'Let Us (this revealing the pluralism of GOD) make man in Our image, after Our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. So GOD created (H1254) (this took place in Genesis 2 after the seventh day rest) man in His own image, in the image of GOD created (H1254) He him; Male and female created (H1254) He them. And GOD blessed them, and GOD said to them, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over every living thing that moves upon the earth.'" 

First up is the Strong's word numbering system with it's definition and then the LXX of the word "created" H1254: The Strong's is: bârâ', "A primitive root; (absolutely) to create; (qualified) to cut down (a wood), select, feed (as formative processes): - choose, create (creator), cut down, dispatch, do, make (fat)."

Now for the LXX's H1254:

Strongs #1254: AHLB#: 1043-E (V)

1043) Rb% (Rb% BR) ac: Feed co: Grain ab: ?: The pictograph b is a picture of a tent but also represents the family which resides inside the tent. The r is a picture of a head. Combined these have the meaning of "family of heads". The plant families of grains such as wheat and barley have a cluster of seeds at the top of the stalk called "heads". These grains were used for food for both man and livestock. (eng: barley - a grain; beer - made from grain; boar - as fat; barn - grain storage; pure - as clean with soap with an exchange for the p and b)
A) Rb% (Rb% BR) ac: ? co: Grain ab: ?: Grains grown in fields were used for meal to make flour as well as feed for livestock. The stalks of the grains were burned to make potash for making soap. What is cleaned with soap becomes white or bright.  

E) Arb% (Arb% BRA) ac: Fill co: Fat ab: ?: Grain is fed to the livestock making them fat or full.
V) Arb% (Arb% B-RA) - Fill: The fattening or filling up of something. The filling of the earth in Genesis 1 with sun, moon, plants, animals, etc. And the filling of man with life and the image of God. [freq. 54] (vf: Paal, Niphal, Hiphil, Piel) |kjv: create, creator, choose, make, cut down, dispatch, done, fat| {str: 1254} 

To this I will add covenant, as is falls within the framework of this words meaning:

H) Erb% (Erb% BRH) ac: Eat co: Meat ab: Covenant: The grain is used as food for man or livestock. Livestock fed grains become fat and are the choicest for slaughter.  

Nf4) Tirb% (Tirb% B-RYT) - Covenant: A covenant is instituted through a sacrifice of a choice, fatted, animal which is cut into two and the parties of the covenant pass through the pieces. If one party fails to meet the agreements of the covenant then the other may do the same to them. (see Genesis 15:10,17 and Jeremiah 34:18-20) [freq. 284] |kjv: covenant, league, confederacy, confederate| {str: 1285}

Now the H1254 means what? At first glance it means this: "The fattening or filling up of something." But there's more such as this: "The filling of man with life and the image of GOD." For me this is overwhelmingly exciting. Not to leave out the fattening up of our spirit as GOD perfects His Will within our being. It rises Joy to new levels, need I say more?

Thank You Heavenly Father, takes on new meaning and purpose! As we abide in Jesus and Jesus abides within us. Abiding means more; AMEN does also!

The Truth that sets all of Humanity Free part 10c.2

     We are looking into the New Testaments (G1242 diathēkē, a contract, covenant, from 1303 diatithemai, from G1223 and G5087; yoke G2218 zugos, to join with and G2201 zeugos, to couple with) expansion of Genesis 1:1-5 and 1:26-27 with Leviticus 17:11 in the language of spiritual identity as found in John 1:1-5, by doing a Word study which hopefully will resolve any dispute of understanding. For since the Cross and the Resurrection the landscape was for eternity changed by GOD'S Will, not mans. The old having been set totally aside by GOD, not man nor man's religions, of which there are many. Okay, here goes, using the KJV and the Strong's and LXX Numbering systems, with some selectivity on my part because the lists of words is quite lengthy:

Genesis 1:1-5 "In the beginning GOD (H430 'ĕlôhı̂ym, the supreme GOD, plural of H433 'ĕlôahh, the deity, from 410 'êl, the all mighty, the shorten form of H352 'ayil, strength, from H193 'ûl, all powerful) created the heaven and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; Darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit (H7307 rûach, breathe) of GOD moved upon the face of the waters. GOD said, 'Let there be light: and there was light.' And GOD saw the light, that it was good: and GOD divided the light from the darkness. And GOD called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Genesis 1:26-27 "GOD said, 'Let Us make (H6213 ‛âśâh, fashion) man in Our image (H6754 tselem, a phantom), after Our likeness (H1823 demûth, resemblance, fashion, from H1819 dâmâh, to resemble): and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.' So GOD created man in His Own image, in the image of GOD created He him; Male and female created He them."  

Leviticus 17:11, 14a "For the life (H5313 nephesh ghost, from H5314 nâphash, breathe, refresh) of the flesh (H1320 bâśâr, from H1319 bâśar, to be fresh) is in the blood (H1818 dâm, guiltless, innocent, from H1826 dâmam, to be silent): and I have given it to you upon the altar (H4196 mizbêach, altar,  from H2076 zâbach, to slaughter, sacrifice) to make an atonement (H3722 zâbach, to expiate, cancel out, cleans; Romans 5:12 G2643 katallagē, to exchange, restoration, from G2644 katallassō, to change mutually, from G 2596 and G236 ) for your souls: for it is the blood that make an atonement for the soul.....For it is the life of all flesh; The blood of it is for the life thereof:"

Then we have John's witness of a personal kind in John 1:1-5 "In the beginning was the Word (G3056 logos, the implied topic, from G3004 lego, systematic discourse, while Matthew 4:4 says this, Jesus is speaking; "But He answered and said, 'It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word (G4478 rhema, utterance, from G4483 rhea, to utter) that proceeds out of the mouth [G4750 stoma, by implication language as in face to face] of GOD.'"), and the Word was with GOD, and the Word was GOD. The same was in the beginning (Gen. 1:1' H430, H433, H410, H352, H193) within GOD. All things were made by Him; And without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him is Life (G2222 zōē, life, from G2198 zaō, a verb, to live); And this Life is the light (G5475 phōs, luminousness, fire) of all men. And the light shines in darkness; And the darkness comprehended it not."

Okay, before I get ahead of myself I shall poise to look at a few of the words that I have shown the Strong's numbering system plus the OT LXX for. No, I'll put their means within the brackets ( ) and show the Hebrew or the Greek words for each with their main meanings.

     Now for our thought's of 10c.1 and the New Blood Covenant or New Testament. How does this all tie together? This calls for a return to Genesis 1:1 and the meanings of those numbers shown, they being H430, H433, and H410, this time using the LLX. Now we cannot use the LXX in the New Testament record as it uses the Greek numbering system of Strong's and the Thayer's only.

Strong's #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, Matthew 11:28-30) 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)

Nm) La% (La% AL) - Power: One who holds authority over others such as judges, chiefs and gods. In the sense of being yoked to one another. [freq. 245] |kjv: GOD, God, god, power, mighty, goodly, great, idols, strong, unto, with, against, at, into, in, before, to, of, upon, by, toward, hath, for, on, beside, from, where, after, within| {str: 410} 

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} 

M) Lia% (Lia% AYL) ac: ? co: Ox ab: Strength: Anyone or anything that functions as the "strong authority" is seen as the older ox. Such as a ram, lion, or stag deer (the strong leader of the flock or heard), chief (strong leader of the tribe), pillar (as the strong support of a building), oak tree (one of the strongest of the woods). 

Nm) Lia% (Lia% AYL) - Strong One: Anyone or thing that functions with strength like an ox. This can be a ram, lion or stag (as strong leaders), chief, pillar (as the strong support of a building), or oak tree (one of the strongest of the woods) [freq. 197] |kjv: ram, post, mighty, tree, lintel, oak, strength, hart| {str: 352, 353, 354}

     Okay, now for what Jesus declared of Himself and the New Covenant in which we all partake of in the Redeeming of the Nations. But first Matthew 11:25-30 once again, where we find this: 

Matthew 11:25-30 "At that time Jesus answered and said, 'I thank You, O Father, LORD of heaven and earth, because You have hid these (Deuteronomy 29:29; Mark 4:11, Romans 16:25, 1Corinthians 2:7, Ephesians 1:9, 3:3-4, 9) things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in Your sight. All things are delivered to Me of My Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; Neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him. Therefore Come to Me, all who are in labor and are heavily laden, and I will give you rest (Gen. 2:1-3). Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; For I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.''' This passage is riddled with the H430, H433, H410 and the H352 [and the deca  of section of 10] which I saw today for the first time, of our study above.

     Lets take a look at the branch of the oak tree, most of which is found in John 15, while the OT has many such references, I'll allow you to do the study there for yourself. In Matthew chapter 20 as does Mark 10, makes many references to the cup of our participation in the death of Jesus. Then there's the bread in Luke 22 and John 6. Then we have the wine in Matthew 9:17, Mark 2:22, Luke 5 these are all elements of the Covenant meal. But of all of them I guess that Jesus' own words of John 14 and 15 and 1John 5, does it for me. I would be totally amiss had I totally forgotten the most important part of this study, which are the New Testament scriptures of the blood, like that of Matthew 26:28 which reads: Mat. 26:26-29 "And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, 'Take, eat; this is My body.' Afterwards He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, 'Drink all of it; For this is My blood of the New Testament (Covenant), which is shed for many for the remission of sins. For I say to you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom.'" Then this in Mark 14:24 which reads as follows: Mark 14:22-25 "As they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them, and said, 'Take, eat: this is My body.' Afterwards He took the cup, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them: and they all drank of it. And He said to them, 'This is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. Verily I say to you, I will drink it no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.'" Then Luke's record this in 22:20, it reads: Luke 22:14-20 "And when the hour was come, Jesus sat down, and the twelve apostles with Him. And He said to them, 'With desire I have desired to eat this pass over with you before I suffer: For I say to you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of GOD.'" He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, 'Take this, and divide it among yourselves: For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of GOD shall come.'" And He took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave to them, saying, 'This is My body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of Me.'" Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, 'This cup is the New Testament in My blood, which is shed for you.'" Next we have the strongest of all witnesses in John's view in chapter 6 where we find this: John 6:19-40, 41-59 "So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh to the ship: and they were afraid. But He said to them, 'It is I; Be not afraid.' Then they willingly received Him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went. The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one where into His disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with His disciples into the boat, but that His disciples were gone away alone; (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh to the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:) When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither His disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. And when they had found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, "Rabbi, when came You hither?" Jesus answered them and said, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, You seek Me, not because you saw the miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves, and were filled. Labor not for the meat which perishes, but for that meat which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give to you: for Him has GOD the Father sealed.' Then said they to Him, "What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?"  Jesus answered and said to them, 'This is the work of GOD, that you believe Him Whom He has sent.' They said therefore to Him, "What sign showiest You then, that we may see, and believe thee? What do You work? Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, "He gave them bread from heaven to eat." Then Jesus said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; But My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of GOD is He which came down from heaven, and gives His Life to the world.' Then said they to Him, "Lord, evermore give us this bread." Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of Life: he that comes to Me shall never hunger; And he that believes Me shall never thirst. For I said to you, that you also have seen Me, and believe not. All that the Father has given Me shall come to Me; And him that comes to Me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the Will of Him that sent Me. And this is the Father's Will Who has sent Me, that of all which He has given Me I should lose nothing, but shall raise it up again at the last day. This is the Will of Him that sent Me, that every one which sees the Son, and believes Him, may have everlasting Life: and I will raise him up at the last day.'

The Jews then murmured at Him, because He said, 'I am the bread which came down from heaven.' And they said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He said, 'I came down from heaven?'" Jesus knowing their hearts therefore answered and said to them, 'Murmur not among yourselves. No man can come to Me, except the Father which has sent Me draws him: and I will raise him up at the last day. Is it not written in the prophets, "And they shall be all taught of GOD"(in Isaiah 54:13). Every man therefore that has heard, and has learned of the Father, comes to Me. Not that any man has seen the Father, save He who is of GOD, He has seen the Father. Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes Me has everlasting Life. For I am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This was the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which comes down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.' The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" Then Jesus said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whosoever eats My flesh, and drinks My blood, has eternal life; And I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He that eats My flesh, and drinks My blood, dwells in Me, and I in him. As the living Father has sent Me, I live by the Father: so he that eats Me, even he shall live by Me. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eats of this bread shall live forever.'

These things said He in the synagogue, as He taught in Capernaum."
 

I pray that this may hit a home! And a home run for many out there! Now I could have listed all the cross referenced passages of scriptures to back all this up but for what purpose, you can do that on your own to strengthen your knowledge of Him and grow in His faith within you as I have done on my own.

The Truth that sets all of Humanity Free part 10c.1

     Carrying on with the last shared thought of Paul's found in Philippians 3:8 now using the KJV:  Philippians 3:8-11 "Yes doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my LORD: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, and being found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the Mosaic Law (of my own up bring), but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of GOD by faith: That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable to His death; If by any means I might attain to the resurrection of the dead."

Don't for get to look for the deca three point pyramid within the context of what follows.

     Paul here touches on four areas I think many over look as Paul's consuming passions, like the acquiring "the knowledge of Him," in this acquiring the knowledge of Him we are in fact acquiring the knowledge of GOD as He Himself requires of all who would take up their cross daily to learn of Him Who is the I AM. or as revealed within the Hebrew language of Genesis 1:1 the three titles of the deca. This shared in the question asked but hidden from view in Matthew 11:28-30, which we shared in the last post, and even provided the location of it in Genesis 1:1, it being the link to who we are in Genesis 1:26-28.

     From here we shall look again at Hebrews 2:1-4 in the KJV: "Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward; How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation (G4991, healing; not the delivery from G4990 but rather the G2643 redemption exchange of atonement or at-one-ment, a return to humanities original state or condition of innocence with our true identity another at-one-ment as it means Oneness, to be set at liberty, our being just and in innocence, spiritually pure, a purity of heart, how by the water and the blood); Which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by them that heard Him; GOD also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to His own will?" 

     Our next targeting passage is found in Ephesians 2 beginning at verse 1 through to 10 to get the most bang for your buck: Ephesians 2:1-10 "And you who have been quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins (unbelief, caused by denial of a true and accurate knowledge of Christ); Wherein in time past you walked according to the course (mans religious, political-financial, and sorceries (in Rev. 18:23, G5331 of big Pharma as found in Revelation 14-18) of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of (religions) disobedience: among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; And were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But GOD, Who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, even when we were dead in sins [ignorance's], has quickened us together with Christ, (by grace we are saved); And 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 kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace we have been saved through His faith; And that not of yourselves: it is the gift of GOD: Not of works (the OT Mosaic Law of condemnation), lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship (of Genesis 1:26-28 and 2:7, 18-23), created in Christ Jesus for good works, which GOD had before ordained that we should walk in them." This is found in Hebrews 12:23 and 13:21, picking up the follow with Heb 13:20-21 "Now the GOD of Peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His Will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; To Whom be glory for ever and ever. The great Amen (may it be so)! 

From here we shall move on to the "life in the blood and the altar" as first seen in Leviticus 17:11,  picking up the flow at verse 10 through 14: "Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eats any manner of blood; I will set My face against that soul that eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 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. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, 'No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourns among you shall eat blood. And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunts and catches any beast or fowl that may be eaten; He shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. For it is the life of all flesh; The blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said to the children of Israel, you shall not eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eats it shall be cut off.'"

Now for Jesus' words: The Institution of the Lord's Supper:
Mark 14:24 of 22-25 " As they eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave to them, and said, 'Take, eat: this is My body.' And He took the cup, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them: and they all drank of it. He said to them, 'This is My blood of the New (another word for Covenant) Testament, which is shed for many. Verily I say to you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of GOD.'"

Now for Hebrews 13:10 picking it up at verse 7 through 17: Hebrews 13:7-16, 17 "Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken to you the word of GOD: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with Grace; Not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. For We have an altar*, whereof they have no right to eat which serve in the tabernacle. For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the High Priest for sin, are burned without the camp. Wherefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore to Him without the camp (this the coming out from among them moment, this the religious mindsets based on another gospel of self works or a blending of both), bearing His reproach (the taking up of our cross on a daily bases as asked of us to do by Jesus). For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to GOD continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks as we abide in His name. For to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices GOD is well pleased. 

Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch over your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you."

Next comes along 1Corinthians 9:13b picking up the flow at verse 8 through 14: 1Corinthians 9:8-14 "I say these things as a man? or say not the law the same also? For it is written in the Law of Moses, "You shall not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treads out the corn. Does God take care for oxen? Or said He it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that plows should plow in hope; And that he that threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope. If we have sown to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather the more? Nevertheless we have not used this power; But suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ. Do you not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? And they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? Even so has the LORD ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel."

Furthermore we have this in Romans 5:9 beginning at verse 1 through 11 where we find this: "Therefore being justified by faith, we have Peace with GOD through our LORD Jesus Christ: Through Whom we have access by faith into this Grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of GOD. Not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation work's patience; And patience, experience; And experience, hope: And hope makes not ashamed; Because the Love of GOD is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given to us. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But GOD commended His Love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners (unaware of our origin and the identity of our beginning), Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to GOD by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved (G4982, be healed as in Isaiah 53:5) by His life (as described in Leviticus 17:11). And not only so, but we also joy in GOD through our LORD Jesus Christ, by Whom we have now received the atonement."

Then there's Ephesians 1:7 which speaks to this end, beginning at verse 3 through 14: Spiritual Blessings in Christ:
Ephesians 1:7 of 3-14 "Blessed be the GOD and Father (of Genesis 1:1) of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: according as He had chosen us in Himself before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love: having pre-destinated us to the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His Will, to the praise of the glory of His Grace, wherein He has made us accepted in the beloved. In Whom we have redemption (G629 a combination of two words G575 and G3083) through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His Grace; Wherein He having abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known to us the mystery of His Will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself: that in the dispensation of the fullness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; Even in Him: In Whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being pre-destinated according to the purpose of Him Who works all things after the counsel of His own Will: that we should be to the praise of His glory, Who first trusted in Christ. In Whom we also trust, after that we heard the word of truth, the gospel of our redemption: In Whom also after that we believed, we were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, Who is the earnest of our inheritance until the salvation of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory."

Now for another shot in the arm, this one found in Colossians 1:14 beginning at verse 9 through to 14 and 15 through to 20: Colossians 1:14 of 9-14, 15-20 "For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that you might be filled with the knowledge of His Will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That you might walk worthy of the LORD to all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of GOD; Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, with abiding patience and long-sufferings with joyfulness; Giving thanks to Father, Who having made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who having delivered us from the power of darkness, and having translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son: In Whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 

The Preeminence of Christ

 15-20 Who is the image of the invisible GOD, the firstborn of every human being: For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: and He is before all things, and through Him all things consist. And He is the Head of the Body, the Church: Who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; That in all things He might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell; And, having made Peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things to Himself; By Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven."

Now for our last adventure in Hebrews for today at 9 beginning at verse 15 through 22, 22 being our last target for this series: Hebrews 9:15-22 "For this cause He is the mediator of the New (Covenant) Testament, that by means of death, for the redemption from transgressions that were under the first Testament (now Old Covenant), they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a Testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator lives. Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to his Law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, saying, "This is the blood of the testament which God has enjoined to you. Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. And almost all things are by the Law purged with blood; And without shedding of blood is no remission."

I would be re-missed if I did not say have fun with this one!
The LORD'S Will be done within us all.

The Truth that sets all of Humanity Free part 10c

     Today's post will take us to another section of the 10b post, which I did not cover do to length of the post. To accomplish this I will redo the passages of my target of interest found in 1John 5 verses 1-4 and 5-12. An again look for the deca language, hint it is faith language.

1John 5:1-5, 6-12 (ASV) "Whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of GOD: and whosoever loves Him that is begotten loves him also that is begotten of Him. Hereby we know that we love the children of GOD, when we love GOD and do His commandments (these are restricted to the OT covenant because of the effects of the Cross). For this is the love of GOD, that we keep His commandments (these given through the Word): and His commandments (Mat. 11:28-30, 16:24, Mark 8:34, Luke 9:23, Rom. 7:12, 22, Heb. 8:10) are not grievous. For whatsoever is begotten of GOD overcomes the world: and this is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 

And who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes Jesus is the Son of GOD? 

Testimony Concerning the Son of God

This is He (either humanity or Christ Jesus fit here) that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; Not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is the Truth. For there are three who bear witness (this found in Genesis 1:1 in the H430, H433 and H410 with the image and likeness of 1:26-28, this being spirit), the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three agree in One (Elohiym=GOD). If we receive the witness of men, the witness of GOD is greater: for the witness of GOD is this, that He has borne (this in Genesis 1:26-28's image and likeness which is life in the blood of Lev. 17:11; Mat. 26:24, Mark 14:24, which is repeated in Hebrews 9:22, 13:12; 7:13 and 13:10) witness concerning His Son. He that believes the Son of GOD has this witness in himself: he that believes not God has made GOD a liar; Because he has not believed in the witness that GOD has borne concerning His Son. And the witness is this, that GOD gave to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that has the Son has this life (Rom. 8:9-10*); He that has not the Son of GOD has not the life."

*Now for the Roman's 8 passages of record: Rom 8:5-11 (ASV) "For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; For they that are after the Spirit mind the things of the Spirit (Rom. 12:1-3*). For the mind of the flesh is death; But the mind of the Spirit is life and peace: because the mind of the flesh is enmity against GOD (why? because of the effects of Gen. 3 wherein the consciousness of man's identity was set aside by the actions of Adam therein described); For it is not subject to the law (love and faith) of GOD, neither indeed can it be: and they that are in the flesh cannot please GOD. For we are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of GOD dwells in you. For if any man has not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; For the spirit is life because of righteousness ( our original redeemed identity restored to it's innocence). But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through His Spirit that dwells in you."  

*Now for the Romans 12:1-2, 3 (ASV) "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of GOD, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to GOD, which is your spiritual service. And be not fashioned according to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God (Heb. 13:20-21 (KJV) "Now the GOD of Peace, Who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, even our LORD Jesus, make you perfect in every good thing to do His Will, working in us that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; To Whom be the glory for ever and ever. The Amen.") 

Gifts of Grace

For I say, through the Grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; But so to think as to think soberly, according as GOD has dealt to each man a measure of faith." 

     Now I have provided a few referenced passages [*] there are others that I have not done so. I'll leave them to you for researching. To this I am doing something not done here in quite sometime now. I will add another thought of interest share by Paul in his Philippians letter chapter 3 and verse 10 but as usual I will start with say verse 8 and then carry it forward: Philippians (ASV) 3:8  "Truly truly, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of "the knowledge of Christ Jesus" my LORD: for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but refuse, "that I may gain Christ," and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own, even that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from GOD by faith: that I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, becoming conformed to His death; If by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead." It seems that Paul's consuming passion was "that he may know Him." Paul here points us to the quest in the knowledge of GOD and three no make that four, different areas in which that knowledge can be allowed to grow (resurrection power, a fellowship within Christ, and conformity to His Life and His death). I shall allow you to think awhile on this one.

The Truth that sets all of Humanity Free part 10b

     With this posting I will have 2400 postings all dealing with the revelation of Christ within humanity, bar none and no one. This adventure began in 2007 after I was asked a hidden question in the Gospel according to Matthew located in Chapter 11 verses 28-30 with verse 29 being a question? It asks this, Mat 11:28-30 Jesus is speaking; "'Come to Me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; For I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.'" Verse 29 was phrased in this fashion that late evening of August the 14th of 2007; 'Are you ready to take My Yoke upon you and learn of Me?' is how it was phrased. This began my greatest of adventures as this blog will testify to. 

     In section 10 of this blog I touched on the Greek word "deca," which simply put means 10 or the combination of 1 and 0; It having three points or a triangle in shape. I then shared the Merriam-Webster dictionary's meaning of. Now I would like to expand on this just a bit. Taken from the gospel of 1John and look for the "deca" within the context of this, beginning at chapter 5 and verses 1- 4, 5-12, using the KJV:

1John 5:1-4, 5-12 "Whosoever believe Jesus is the Christ is born of GOD: and every one that loves Him that begat Him, loves him also that is begotten of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love GOD, and keep His commandments (now these are not of the OT rules but as Jesus told the Pharisee that handed Him the scroll of Isaiah our Bible calls this chapter 11:2-5 and 42:1-4; Isaiah 50:4 and 59:21, Psalm 2:2; this of record in the NT account in Luke 4:16-22; deliverance in Psa 102:20, 107:10-16, 146:7; Isa. 42:7, 45:13, 49:9, 49:24-25, 52:2-3; Zec. 9:11-12; Col.1:13). For this is the love of GOD, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of GOD overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. 

Who is he that overcame the world, but he that believe that Jesus is the Son of GOD?"

This is the Testimony Concerning the Son of GOD:

1John 5:6-12 "This is he that comes by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; Not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is Truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven (this record is of chapter 1 of Genesis and verse 1; Elohiym; GOD, in the Hebrew terms of H430, H433 and H410, with the "yoke of learning," as shown in Mat. 11:29), the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are One. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood (Lev. 17:11): and these three agree in One (by the restoration (redemption; at-one-ment) of our true identity that had been set aside, lost conscience of, in the garden's record of Gen. 3.). If we receive the witness of men, the witness of GOD is greater: for this is the witness of GOD which He has testified in His Son. He that believes the Son of GOD has this witness in himself: he that believes not GOD has made Him a liar; Because he believes not the record (the Word) that GOD gave of His Son. And this is the record, that GOD has given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that has the Son has life (Rom. 8:1-8, 9-11); And he that has not the Son of GOD has not life." 

There maybe more to come but for now this is sufficient.

The Truth that sets all of Humanity Free part 10a

     I shall attempt to finish our look into the redemption of Humanity's Identity by the actions of GOD'S perfecting of His Will within all of His loved ones, they being of His design and creation. This is first introduced in Genesis 1:26-27, as being of His, Us and Our, of the image and likeness description. And because GOD is Spirit all of humanity is also spirit, just as Jesus told the Pharisee that questioned Him in (Luke 4:16-32 [18-19, 20-22] after he gave Him the scroll of Isaiah's writing our chapter 11:2-5; 42:1-4, and 61:1-2, leaving off verse 3 which speaks to the trees of planting, (John 12:24's) the seed of the LORD. This coming later on during His earthy mission. Jesus, then told this Pharisee that this passage was speaking of Him and that it was spiritual in nature and content. Indicating why it was that the Sadducee's and Pharisee's of the Jewish religion like all others that sprang from it, could not understand its meaning or purpose. Because they are bound by the Mosaic Law's works of the flesh.

     This may require some time as there are many moving parts from both the OT and NT. To back up what is stated above lets look at Psalm 139:13-16 with our attention drawn to verses 13 and 14, where we find this: Psalm 139:13-14 of 13-16 "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 substance was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and curiously (skillfully) wrought in the lowest parts (depth) of the earth. Your eyes did see my substance, yet being unformed; And in Your book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them." Now I would be amiss if I did not point out this little known truth, each one born of woman fits the description given here, yes each human being fits here, no one is left out, no one! Jesus Himself describes us all as being vessels of clay within which is hidden a treasure worth its weight in gold. And again He is speaking in the spiritual sense.

     I want to explore the use of one word it being "atonement." It can be a metaphor for another word it being, at-one-ment. In the Hebrew it is both H3722 and H3725 in the Greek it is G2643 and it appears only once in Romans 5:11. In each of the two Hebrew words there is a common word within each meaning given it is: "expiate," meaning to extinguish the guilt incurred, to put an end to.....redeem. When we accept our oneness in GOD and Christ we are at one ment (meant today's word) with Them, our original identity restored as sinless innocence, GOD'S righteousness. This shown to me early this morning.
