Christ within You, post number 2388a

Seeing that the lesson of Paul given to the Galatians was based on the way that Peter had presented the gospel of Christ in Jesus, within our own humanity, Paul had to set the record back on course....make it straight. And note that were the term "law" is used it is referencing the Mosaic Law of condemnation, it's only strength, the pronouncing of humanity guilty. (Upon which man's religions continues to mulishly propagate falsehood's as being sound doctrines based on meths, legions, and hearsay. All because of the fruit eaten by man and woman in the Genesis 3 record. Where death, a type of blindness entered humanity, man having lost the consciousness of his origin and identity, this redeemed by the actions of Christ as we are soon to learn.) To do this required Him, Christ, to do so at great length. Now beginning in chapter 2 through the end of chapter 6. So so should I:

Paul Opposes Peter
Gal 2:11-14, 15-21 (here is chapter 2 are the subheading breaks) When Peter was come to Antioch, I (Paul) withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. For before that certain (information) came from James, he (Peter) did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision (the Jews). And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; Insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. But when I (Paul) saw that they walked not uprightly according to the Truth of the Gospel, I said to Peter before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compel the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?"

Now comes the means of all of humanity's being; Justified by Faith
Gal 2:15-6:18 (I did not show the subheadings of the brakes as there are many that will be included as we go on)  We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles (this thought is still being carried on to this very day), knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. (this is the whole premise of the Gospel's good news, it being established upon the strength of the promise given to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob his heirs) But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners (making reference to the conduct of Peter and any that would follow in his footsteps), is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build again the things which I destroyed (he Paul by way of the revelation of Christ now residing within his own being had revealed this Truth and the power of the resurrection...Grace by the righteousness of GOD in man), I make myself a transgressor. For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto GOD.  For 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 me. (this is true of all of humanity by way of the faith that resided within Yeshua....Jesus, Emmanuel, our very salvation, the coming out from among them YHWH saves) I do not frustrate the Grace of GOD: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.  

By Faith, or by Works of the Law? 

Gal 3:1-9, 10-14, 15-29  O foolish Galatians (remember that any name of people group can be inserted here), who has bewitched you, that you should not obey the Truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ having been evidently set forth (declared correctly), crucified among (in you as) you? This only would I learn of you, Received you the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now made perfect by the flesh? You having suffered so many things in vain? If it be yet in vain? He therefore that ministers to you the Spirit, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Even as Abraham believed GOD, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know you not therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that GOD would justifies the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel to Abraham, saying, "'In you shall all nations be blessed.'" So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

 The Righteous Shall Live by Faith

Gal 3:10-14 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse (the penalty of): for it is written, "Cursed is every one that continues not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them." For that no man is justified by the law in the sight of GOD, it is evident: for, "The just shall live by faith." For the law is not of faith: but, The man that does them shall live in them (under the penalty of the condemnation, it's strength of a curse.) Christ having redeemed (the action of annulling, canceling the law) us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, "Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree:" That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; That we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. 

The Law and the Promise

Gal 3:15-29  Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulls, or adds thereto. Now to Abraham and his seed was the promise made. He said not, "'And to seeds, as of many; No, but as of one, and to thy seed, which is Christ.'" And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of GOD in Christ, the law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul the promise, that it should make the promise of none effect. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: for GOD gave it to Abraham by promise. Wherefore then served the law? It was added because of (Israel's) transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; It was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, for God is one. Is the law then against the promises of GOD? GOD forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given eternal life, truly righteousness should have been by the law. For the scriptures have concluded all under sin, that the promise by the faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. But before faith came, we (the Jews and Hebrews) were kept under the law, shut up until the faith which should afterwards be (was) revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster (the rebellious people of Israel and any that followed in their footsteps of mind set, of ideology) to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. (Christ Yeshua, Emmanuel, Jesus being the author of, 1Cor. 14:33. Heb. 5:9, 12:2, faith) For after that faith is come, we (the Jewish people or any other Nation of similar persuasion...ie, man's religious systems as the weight of the world thereby carried uselessly, it being nullified) are no longer under a schoolmaster (the Mosaic Law of self destruction). For we are all the children of GOD by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.(this the action of humanity's being "born again" from above, this can take place anywhere and at any time while it remains "today.") There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for all are one in Christ Jesus. And if you be Christ's, then are you Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. 

Sons and Heirs

Gal 4:1-7  Now I say, that the heir, as long as he is a child, differs nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the Father. Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: that when the fullness of the time was come, GOD sent His Son, made of a woman (the only legal and lawful way of entry upon the earth's stage), made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because we are sons, GOD sent the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore we art no more a servant, but a son; And "if a son," then an heirs of GOD through Christ.

Now I feel that we need not carry on with this picture as all the fine points have been made herein. the outcome was and remains to this very day, the OT Mosaic Law was not annulled by/in the flesh of the executed Son of GOD. It having no power of life, no strength to stand on its own. For now all is based on His Faith and Grace and Truth a lone! Grace having the power of the resurrection to over come the inherent effects of the law within our very being. But the warning of the curse remains upon the efforts of man under the curse of that Law. For it hangs on the efforts of mans flesh and attitudes of ideology, thereby generated. Know this Love stands in abundance, as does mercy's compassion's.

From here look again to Matthew 5:17.

I have to credit my e-Sword program and the thoughts of Pastor Hoekstra it contains along with other commentaries.

Christ within You, post number 2388b

This morning was like so many others since I became a seeker of Truth sometime ago, like back in 2007 after hearing, 'Are you ready to take My yoke upon you and learn of Me?' to which my immediate answer was, "Yes LORD!" Mat. 11:26-30. Early this morning I heard, having ears that hear as given to the learned of the LORD, (this in Isaiah 50:4 which states this: "The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season[1] to him that is weary: He wakens morning by morning, He wakens mine ear to hear as the learned."). Today is no different than many others of late, the word I heard was, "disannul." Why am I so intimate about such a word or maybe a phrase used within the context of scriptures? It seems that Paul was miffed at or with Peter about the matter of the Mosaic Law and its effects on those who had turned to Christ through the proclamation of Jesus' work, as described in Matthew 5:17. This covers Galatians 2:15 through the rest of Galatians.

Now for the word [1]"a word in season" it is also part of my commission of  2Timothy 4:1-5 in particular verses 2-5 ["Preach the word; Be instant in season, out of season; Reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; But after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned to fables. But watch in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry."] So I am fulfilling my calling herein.) Which caused me some confusion and difficulties at first, because I am not a good reader or speller as I am not a English major by any means, so it requires me to do many a searches of letter combinations until I got it right spelling. Then once I had it right, I came to the search of this word in my e-Sword program to find it either in the OT or the NT, alone with its meanings in the LXX and the Strong's word dictionary of Hebrew (H) and Greek (G) words, with the NT word I through in the Thayer's definition for good measure. The following is the list of passages where it can be located, that I found:

Job 40:8  Will you also disannul (H6565) my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be righteous?
Isaiah 14:27  For the LORD of hosts has purposed, and who shall disannul (6565) it? For His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
Galatians 3:17  And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of GOD in Christ, the law (spoken to Abraham as a promise, Gen. 15:18, 17:7-8, 19), which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul (G208, G3756), that it should make the promise of none effect.

Now with this in mind look again at the teachings of Paul where he makes reference to the law of the OT. Because like others I have also thought of it as being that of the Mosaic Law of condemnation from which there is no escape, it being covered in the first five books of his writings as the established standard for all of Israel. It coming after the that of promise, overlooked by man's religion's, given to Abraham and then covered by Paul in Galatians 3 and anywhere he used the word "law." He speaking solely by the Holy Spirit. No one considers a promise made and fulfilled (made replete) in Christ, covered in Genesis 12-17, 1Chron. 1:27 and Neh. 9:7.

Now for H6565 from the LXX and then the Strong's of the OT language: 

Strongs #6565: AHLB#: 1388-B (V)

1388) Rp% (Rp% PR) ac: Tread co: Bull ab: Fruitful: The pictograph p is a picture of an open mouth, the r is a picture of a head. Combined these mean "open the head"**[Isa. 53:5, Rom. 12:1-2; Ps. 51:10, Eze. 18:31, 36:26, Rom. 12:1-2 [renewing of the mind], 2Cor. 5:17, Eph. 4:22-24, Col. 1:21-22, 3:10 and Tit. 3:5]. The heads of grains are scattered on the threshing floor, a smooth, hard and level surface. An ox is lead around the floor crushing the heads, opening them to reveal the seed inside. Also the fruit of trees that harvested. (eng: bull - with the exchange of the b and p and the l and r; fruit, also other fruits with a "pr" such as pear and apricot)

B) Rrp% (Rrp% PRR) ac: Break co: ? ab: ?

Now for the Greek NT language, using both the Strong's and Thayre's translations: 

The Strong's: G208 ἀκυρόω  akuroō  ak-oo-ro'-o   From G1 [A, alpha the first letter in the alphabet] (as a negative particle) and G2964; to invalidate: - disannul, make of none effect. [G2964 κυρόω  kuroō  koo-ro'-o  From the same as G2962; to make authoritative, that is, ratify: - confirm. G2962 κύριος  kurios  koo'-ree-os  From κῦρος kuros (supremacy); supreme in authority, that is, (as noun) controller; by implication Mr. (as a respectful title): - GOD, LORD, Master, Sir.]

Now for the gospel of Galatians 3:

By Faith, or by Works of the Law?

Gal 3:1-9, 10-14, 15-29  O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ has been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Received you the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now made perfect by the flesh? Have you not suffered so many things in vain? If it be yet in vain. He therefore that ministers to you the Spirit, and worked miracles among you, does he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Even as Abraham believed GOD, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know you therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that GOD would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel to Abraham, saying, "'In you shall all nations be blessed.'"  So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. 

The Righteous Shall Live by Faith

Gal 3:10-14 For as many as are of the works of the Law are under [Deu. 11:26-28, 29:20; Isaiah 43:28]  the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continues not in all things which are written in the books of the Law to do them. For no man is justified by the Law in the sight of GOD, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.[Rom. 1:17, Heb. 10:38] And the Law is not of faith: but, The man that does them shall live in them (self condemnation).[Lev. 18:5, Neh. 9:29, Eze. 20:11, 13; Mat. 19:17, Luke 10:25-28, Rom. 10:5-6] Christ having redeemed** [Isa. 53:5, 55:5-7, 10-12, Dan. 9:24, 26, Zec. 13:7; Mat. 26:28, Rom. 3:24-26, 4:25, 8:3-4] us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that is hung on a tree [Deu. 21:23, 1Pet. 2:24, Jos. 10:26-27] That the blessing (the promise, not of the law)[Rom. 4:3-17] of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ [Rom. 10:9-15]; That we might [Rom. 8:9-16, 26-27, 1Cor. 12:13] receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

 The Law and the Promise

Gal 3:15-29 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannull's (G114*), or adds thereto. Now to Abraham and his seed were the promise made. He said not, "And to seeds, as of many;" but as of one, that to your seed, which is Christ. And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of GOD in Christ, the law (G3551), which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul (G208), that it should make the promise of none effect. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: for GOD gave it to Abraham by promise. Wherefore then serves the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to Whom the promise was made; And it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, for GOD is one. Is the law then against the promises of GOD? GOD forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by that law. For the scripture have concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe Him. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up until the faith which should afterwards be revealed [1Cor.14:33  For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. Heb. 5:9, 12:2  And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation to all them that obey Him;... Looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of GOD.]. Wherefore the (Mosaic) law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. For after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For we are all the children of GOD by His faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized (the new birthing) into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for we are all one in Christ Jesus (G2424). And if you be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. 

Now for the G114* from the Strong's: G114  ἀθετέω  atheteō  ath-et-eh'-o  From a compound of G1 (alpha, as a negative particle) and a derivative of G5087; to set aside, that is, (by implication) to disesteem, neutralize or violate: - cast off, despise, disannul, frustrate, bring to nought, reject. [G5087: τίθημι  tithēmi  tith'-ay-mee   A prolonged form of a primary word θέω theō (which is used only as an alternate in certain tenses); to place (in the widest application, literally and figuratively; properly in a passive or horizontal posture, and thus different from G2476, which properly denotes an upright and active position, while G2749 is properly reflexive and utterly prostrate): - + advise, appoint, bow, commit, conceive, give, X kneel down, lay (aside, down, up), make, ordain, purpose, put, set (forth), settle, sink down.]

G2424 from the Strong's Greek: Ἰησοῦς  Iēsous  ee-ay-sooce'  Of Hebrew origin [H3091]; Jesus (that is, Jehoshua), the name of our Lord and two (three) other Israelites: - Jesus.Ἰησοῦς
Iēsous  ee-ay-sooce'  Of  Hebrew origin [H3091]; Jesus (that is, Jehoshua), the name of our Lord and two (three) other Israelites: - Jesus. [now for H3091: yehôshûa‛    yehôshûa‛  yeh-ho-shoo'-ah, yeh-ho-shoo'-ah   From H3068 and H3467 (to be opened wide, or freed; yâsha‛  yaw-shah'   A primitive root; properly to be open, wide or free, that is, (by implication) to be safe; causatively to free or succor: -  X at all, avenging, defend, deliver (-er), help, preserve, rescue, be safe, bring (having) salvation, save (-iour), get victory.); Jehovah-saves, (is our salvation); Jehoshua (that is, Joshua), the Jewish leader: - Jehoshua, Jehoshuah, Joshua. Compare H1954, H3442.]

This portion is quite lengthy not sure yet if they'll be more. As I need to digest this myself. As our title reflects "Christ within you," we are also in Christ by way of our humble daily practices reflect, by our taking up of our cross as true disciples of the Lord. (Mat. 16:24, Luke 8:34 and Romans 12:1-2 with the benefit of the renewing of our mind.** We abide in Him and He abides within us. John 12:46, 14:16, 15:4, 6-7, 10. Now I have loaded this study with passages of reference and my hope is that you'll take the time to study them. And one more that of Mat. 5:17.

Now comes the "sin conscientiousness" that Romans tells us is inherited as a constant embedded within humanity's being this in Rom. 2:15 and 3:19-20. In other words "No one is above the law" until the knowledge of Christ's conscientiousness is realized within our being. The knowledge of Yeshua....Jesus changes this corrupted mindset as scene above. As GOD perfects His Will within our being. Now comes another question, were the Prophets and the Psalms, these including the Law, that spoke of Christ's fulfilling them and this being so were done way with in His flesh, this providing the open way of the truth and the life (Mat. 5:7, 22:23, John 11:25 and 14). Look at Acts 13:33 and Romans 8:4, 13:8 and Galatians 5:14. To this I wish to add the following: Mat. 27:60  And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
Mat. 28:2  And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

This causing a great opening, just as the hand of GOD did when the temple's holiest-est of places veil was tron asunder. Not once but twice.

I have to credit my e-Sword program and the thoughts of Pastor Hoekstra it contains along with other commentaries.

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)

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)

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).'

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.'

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.

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.
