            And from your relatives
            And from your father’s house,
            To the land which I will show you;

GENESIS 17 : Abraham and the Covenant of Circumcision

      1Now when Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him,
            “I am God Almighty;
            Walk before Me, and be blameless.

2“I will establish My covenant between Me and you,
And I will multiply you exceedingly.”

3Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying,

4“As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you,
And you will be the father of a multitude of nations.

      5“No longer shall your name be called Abram,
            But your name shall be Abraham;
            For I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

6“I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings will come forth from you. 7“I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you. 8“I will give to you and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.”

9God said further to Abraham, “Now as for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations. 10“This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: every male among you shall be circumcised. 11“And you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be the sign of the covenant between Me and you. 12“And every male among you who is eight days old shall be circumcised throughout your generations, a servant who is born in the house or who is bought with money from any foreigner, who is not of your descendants. 13“A servant who is born in your house or who is bought with your money shall surely be circumcised; thus shall My covenant be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. 14“But an uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”

The Covenant Established with Abraham was passed down to his Son, Isaac

It was then passed down to Isaac’s Son Jacob

A COVENANT is a binding agreement or contract.

God’s Covenants were stipulated by adherence to the contract…obedience.

GENESIS 22 – PROMISE TO ABRAHAM

17I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of hisd enemies, 18and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.”

GENESIS 26 – PROMISE TO ISAAC

4I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and will give to your offspring all these lands. And in your offspring all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, 5because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.”

GENESIS 28 – PROMISE TO JACOB

13And behold, the LORD stood above itc and said, “I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. The land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring. 14Your offspring shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south, and in you and your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 15Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”

Jacob was then renamed to Israel

Jacob gave birth to the 12 Tribes of Israel.

70 went into Egypt and multiplied before 600k came out during the Exodus led by Moses.

GENESIS 15 – God’s Covenant with Abram

12Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, terror and great darkness fell upon him.13God said to Abram, “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, where they will be enslaved and oppressed 400 years. 14“But I will also judge the nation whom they will serve, and afterward they will come out with many possessions. 15“As for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you will be buried at a good old age.16“Then in the fourth generation they will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete.”

Exodus 19 : Israel at Mount Sinai

3And Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself. 5Now therefore, if you will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then you shall be a peculiar treasure to me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 6And you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.

Exodus 24 : The Covenant Sealed

3And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD has said will we do. 4And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 5And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the LORD. 6And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 7And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD has said will we do, and be obedient. 8And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD has made with you concerning all these words.

9Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: 10And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.11And on the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.

Moses on the Mountain

12And the LORD said to Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give you tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that you may teach them.

COVENANT AT MOAB (ADDED)

Deuteronomy 29 : The Covenant in Moab

1These are the words of the covenant, which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.

2And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, You have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land; 3The great temptations which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles: 4Yet the LORD has not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day. 5And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old on you, and your shoe is not waxen old on your foot.6You have not eaten bread, neither have you drunk wine or strong drink: that you might know that I am the LORD your God.7And when you came to this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us to battle, and we smote them: 8And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh. 9Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.

10You stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel, 11Your little ones, your wives, and your stranger that is in your camp, from the hewer of your wood to the drawer of your water: 12That you should enter into covenant with the LORD your God, and into his oath, which the LORD your God makes with you this day: 13That he may establish you to day for a people to himself, and that he may be to you a God, as he has said to you, and as he has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

14Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath; 15But with him that stands here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day: 16(For you know how we have dwelled in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which you passed by; 17And you have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:) 18Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood; 19And it come to pass, when he hears the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of my heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:20The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie on him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven. 21And the LORD shall separate him to evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:

22So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD has laid on it; 23And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath: 24Even all nations shall say, Why has the LORD done thus to this land? what means the heat of this great anger? 25Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt: 26For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given to them: 27And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring on it all the curses that are written in this book: 28And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.

29The secret things belong to the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

Leviticus 26 : The Blessings of Obedience

1You shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither raise you up a standing image, neither shall you set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down to it: for I am the LORD your God. 2You shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD. 3If you walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;

4Then I will give you rain in due season,

and the land shall yield her increase,
- and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

5And your threshing shall reach to the vintage,

and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time:
- and you shall eat your bread to the full,
- and dwell in your land safely.

6And I will give peace in the land,

and you shall lie down,
- and none shall make you afraid:
  - and I will rid evil beasts out of the land,
  - neither shall the sword go through your land.

7And you shall chase your enemies,

and they shall fall before you by the sword.

8And five of you shall chase an hundred,

and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight:
- and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

9For I will have respect to you, and make you fruitful,

and multiply you,
- and establish my covenant with you.

10And you shall eat old store,

and bring forth the old because of the new.

11And I set my tabernacle among you:

and my soul shall not abhor you.

12And I will walk among you,

and will be your God,
- and you shall be my people

. 13I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.

Punishments for Disobedience (Leviticus 20:1-9; Deuteronomy 28:15-68; 1 Samuel 15:1-9; 1 Kings 13:11-34)

14But if you will not listen to me, and will not do all these commandments; 15And if you shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that you will not do all my commandments, but that you break my covenant:

16I also will do this to you;

I will even appoint over you terror,
- consumption,
- and the burning ague,
- that shall consume the eyes,
- and cause sorrow of heart:
  - and you shall sow your seed in vain,
  - for your enemies shall eat it.

17And I will set my face against you,

and you shall be slain before your enemies:
- they that hate you shall reign over you;
  - and you shall flee when none pursues you.

18And if you will not yet for all this listen to me,

then I will punish you 7 times more for your sins.

19And I will break the pride of your power;

and I will make your heaven as iron,
- and your earth as brass:

20And your strength shall be spent in vain:

for your land shall not yield her increase,
- neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.

21And if you walk contrary to me,

and will not listen to me;
- I will bring 7 times more plagues on you according to your sins.

22I will also send wild beasts among you,

which shall rob you of your children,
- and destroy your cattle,
- and make you few in number;
- and your high ways shall be desolate.

23And if you will not be reformed by me by these things,

but will walk contrary to me;

24Then will I also walk contrary to you,

and will punish you yet 7 times for your sins.

25And I will bring a sword on you,

that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant:
- and when you are gathered together within your cities,
  - I will send the pestilence among you;
  - and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

26And when I have broken the staff of your bread,

ten women shall bake your bread in one oven,
- and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight:
- and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.

27And if you will not for all this listen to me, but walk contrary to me;

28Then I will walk contrary to you also in fury;
- and I, even I, will chastise you 7 times for your sins.

29And you shall eat the flesh of your sons,

and the flesh of your daughters shall you eat.

30And I will destroy your high places,

and cut down your images,
- and cast your carcasses on the carcasses of your idols,
- and my soul shall abhor you.

31And I will make your cities waste,

and bring your sanctuaries to desolation,
- and I will not smell the smell of your sweet odors.

32And I will bring the land into desolation:

and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.

33And I will scatter you among the heathen,

and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate,
- and your cities waste.

34Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths,

as long as it lies desolate,
- and you be in your enemies’ land;
- even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.

35As long as it lies desolate it shall rest;

because it did not rest in your sabbaths,
- when you dwelled on it.

36And on them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies;

and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them;
- and they shall flee,
- as fleeing from a sword;
- and they shall fall when none pursues.

37And they shall fall one on another,

as it were before a sword,
- when none pursues:
- and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

38And you shall perish among the heathen,

and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

39And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands;

and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

God Remembers Those who Repent

40If they shall confess their iniquity,

and the iniquity of their fathers,
- with their trespass which they trespassed against me,
- and that also they have walked contrary to me;

41And that I also have walked contrary to them,

and have brought them into the land of their enemies;
- if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled,
  - and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
- 42Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob,
  - and also my covenant with Isaac,
  - and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember;
  - and I will remember the land.

43The land also shall be left of them,

and shall enjoy her sabbaths,
- while she lies desolate without them:
- and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
- because, even because they despised my judgments,
- and because their soul abhorred my statutes.

44And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God. 45But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.

46These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

Deuteronomy 28 : The Blessings of Obedience(Leviticus 25:18-22; Deuteronomy 4:1-14; Deuteronomy 11:1-7)

      - to the right hand,
      - or to the left,
      - to go after other gods to serve them.

The Curses of Disobedience(Leviticus 20:1-9; Leviticus 26:14-39; 1 Samuel 15:1-9; 1 Kings 13:11-34)

15But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to the voice of the LORD your God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command you this day; that all these curses shall come on you, and overtake you:

16Cursed shall you be in the city,
- and cursed shall you be in the field.
- 17Cursed shall be your basket and your store.
- 18Cursed shall be the fruit of your body,
  - and the fruit of your land,
  - the increase of your cows,
  - and the flocks of your sheep.
- 19Cursed shall you be when you come in,
  - and cursed shall you be when you go out.

20The LORD shall send on you cursing,

vexation, and rebuke,
- in all that you set your hand to for to do,
- until you be destroyed,
- and until you perish quickly;
- because of the wickedness of your doings, whereby you have forsaken me.

21The LORD shall make the pestilence stick to you,

until he have consumed you from off the land,
- where you go to possess it.

22The LORD shall smite you with

a consumption,
- and with a fever,
- and with an inflammation,
- and with an extreme burning,
- and with the sword,
- and with blasting,
- and with mildew;
- and they shall pursue you until you perish.

23And your heaven that is over your head shall be brass,

and the earth that is under you shall be iron.

24The LORD shall make the rain of your land powder and dust:

from heaven shall it come down on you,
- until you be destroyed.

25The LORD shall cause you to be smitten before your enemies:

you shall go out one way against them,
- and flee seven ways before them:
- and shall be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.

26And your carcass shall be meat to all fowls of the air,

and to the beasts of the earth,
- and no man shall fray them away.

27The LORD will smite you with the botch of Egypt,

and with the tumors,
- and with the scab,
- and with the itch,
- whereof you can not be healed.

28The LORD shall smite you with madness,

and blindness,
- and astonishment of heart:

29And you shall grope at noonday,

as the blind gropes in darkness,
- and you shall not prosper in your ways:
- and you shall be only oppressed and spoiled ever more,
- and no man shall save you.

30You shall betroth a wife,

and another man shall lie with her:
- you shall build an house,
  - and you shall not dwell therein:
    - you shall plant a vineyard,
    - and shall not gather the grapes thereof.

31Your ox shall be slain before your eyes,

and you shall not eat thereof:
- your ass shall be violently taken away from before your face,
- and shall not be restored to you:
  - your sheep shall be given to your enemies,
  - and you shall have none to rescue them.

32Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another people,

and your eyes shall look,
- and fail with longing for them all the day long;
- and there shall be no might in your hand.

33The fruit of your land,

and all your labors,
- shall a nation which you know not eat up;
- and you shall be only oppressed and crushed always:
  - 34So that you shall be mad for the sight of your eyes which you shall see.

35The LORD shall smite you in the knees,

and in the legs,
- with a sore botch that cannot be healed,
- from the sole of your foot to the top of your head.

36The LORD shall bring you,

and your king which you shall set over you,
- to a nation which neither you nor your fathers have known;
- and there shall you serve other gods,
- wood and stone.

37And you shall become an astonishment,

a proverb, and a byword,
- among all nations where the LORD shall lead you.

38You shall carry much seed out into the field,

and shall gather but little in;
- for the locust shall consume it.

39You shall plant vineyards,

and dress them,
- but shall neither drink of the wine,
- nor gather the grapes;
- for the worms shall eat them.

40You shall have olive trees throughout all your coasts,

but you shall not anoint yourself with the oil;
- for your olive shall cast his fruit.

41You shall beget sons and daughters,

but you shall not enjoy them;
- for they shall go into captivity.

42All your trees and fruit of your land

shall the locust consume.

43The stranger that is within you shall get up above you very high;

and you shall come down very low.

44He shall lend to you,

and you shall not lend to him:
- he shall be the head,
- and you shall be the tail.

45Moreover all these curses shall come on you,

and shall pursue you, and overtake you,
- till you be destroyed;
- because you listened not to the voice of the LORD your God,
- to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded you:
  - 46And they shall be on you for a sign and for a wonder,
  - and on your seed for ever.

47Because you served not the LORD your God with joyfulness,

and with gladness of heart,
- for the abundance of all things;

48Therefore shall you serve your enemies which the LORD shall send against you,

in hunger,
- and in thirst,
- and in nakedness,
- and in want of all things:
- and he shall put a yoke of iron on your neck,
- until he have destroyed you.

49The LORD shall bring a nation against you from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies;

a nation whose tongue you shall not understand;

50A nation of fierce countenance,

which shall not regard the person of the old,
- nor show favor to the young:

51And he shall eat the fruit of your cattle,

and the fruit of your land,
- until you be destroyed:
- which also shall not leave you either corn,
- wine,
- or oil,
- or the increase of your cows,
- or flocks of your sheep,
- until he have destroyed you.

52And he shall besiege you in all your gates,

until your high and fenced walls come down,
- wherein you trusted,
- throughout all your land:
  - and he shall besiege you in all your gates throughout all your land,
  - which the LORD your God has given you.

53And you shall eat the fruit of your own body,

the flesh of your sons and of your daughters,
- which the LORD your God has given you,
- in the siege,
- and in the narrow place,
- with which your enemies shall distress you:
  - 54So that the man that is tender among you,
  - and very delicate,
  - his eye shall be evil toward his brother,
  - and toward the wife of his bosom,
  - and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:
    - 55So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat:
      - because he has nothing left him in the siege,
      - and in the narrow place,
      - with which your enemies shall distress you in all your gates.
  - 56The tender and delicate woman among you,
    - which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot on the ground for delicateness and tenderness,
    - her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom,
    - and toward her son,
    - and toward her daughter,
    - 57And toward her young one that comes out from between her feet,
    - and toward her children which she shall bear:
      - for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and narrow place,
      - with which your enemy shall distress you in your gates.

58If you will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;

59Then the LORD will make your plagues wonderful,

and the plagues of your seed,
- even great plagues,
- and of long continuance,
- and sore sicknesses,
- and of long continuance.

60Moreover he will bring on you all the diseases of Egypt,

which you were afraid of; and they shall stick to you.

61Also every sickness,

and every plague,
- which is not written in the book of this law,
- them will the LORD bring on you,
- until you be destroyed.

62And you shall be left few in number,

whereas you were as the stars of heaven for multitude;
- because you would not obey the voice of the LORD your God.

63And it shall come to pass,

that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good,
- and to multiply you;
- so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you,
- and to bring you to nothing;
- and you shall be plucked from off the land where you go to possess it.

64And the LORD shall scatter you among all people,

from the one end of the earth even to the other;
- and there you shall serve other gods,
- which neither you nor your fathers have known,
- even wood and stone.

65And among these nations shall you find no ease,

neither shall the sole of your foot have rest:
- but the LORD shall give you there a trembling heart,
  - and failing of eyes,
  - and sorrow of mind:

66And your life shall hang in doubt before you;

and you shall fear day and night,
- and shall have none assurance of your life:
  - 67In the morning you shall say,
    - Would God it were even!
    - and at even you shall say,
    - Would God it were morning!
    - for the fear of your heart with which you shall fear,
    - and for the sight of your eyes which you shall see.

68And the LORD shall bring you into Egypt again with ships,

by the way whereof I spoke to you,
- You shall see it no more again:
  - and there you shall be sold to your enemies for slaves and bondwomen,
  - and no man shall buy you.

After Moab, Moses Died and Joshua led them across the Jordan into the Promised Land

Joshua 5

3 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins. 4 And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt. 5 Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised. 6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey. 7 And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way. 8 And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole. 9 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day. 10 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.

Tribes receive their allotted Inheritance in the land of Canaan

Once Israel finally arrived in the Promised Land, they had Judges rule over them.

Joshua

Samson

Samuel

Then they decided they wanted a King to rule over them.

First Saul

then David

then David’s Son, Solomon

who built a Temple for God

1 Kings 9 : God’s Covenant with Solomon(2 Chronicles 7:11-22)

1And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the LORD, and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do, 2That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon. 3And the LORD said to him, I have heard your prayer and your supplication, that you have made before me: I have hallowed this house, which you have built, to put my name there for ever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.

4And if you will walk before me, as David your father walked,

in integrity of heart,
- and in uprightness,
- to do according to all that I have commanded you,
- and will keep my statutes and my judgments:
  - 5Then I will establish the throne of your kingdom on Israel for ever,
  - as I promised to David your father, saying,
  - There shall not fail you a man on the throne of Israel.

6But if you shall at all turn from following me, you or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:

7Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them;
- and this house,
- which I have hallowed for my name,
- will I cast out of my sight;
- and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:
  - 8And at this house,
  - which is high,
  - every one that passes by it shall be astonished,
  - and shall hiss;
  - and they shall say,
  - Why has the LORD done thus to this land, and to this house?
  - 9And they shall answer,
    - Because they forsook the LORD their God,
    - who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt,
    - and have taken hold on other gods,
    - and have worshipped them,
    - and served them:
      - therefore has the LORD brought on them all this evil.

Solomon’s Heart was not right with God, as was David’s.

Under King Solomon rule, he led Israel to follow other gods and the Kingdom became divided.

1 Kings 11 : Solomon Turns from God

1Now King Solomon loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh: Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women, 2from the nations concerning which the LORD had said to the sons of Israel, “You shall not associate with them, nor shall they associate with you, for they will surely turn your heart away after their gods.” Solomon held fast to these in love. 3He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines, and his wives turned his heart away. 4For when Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart away after other gods; and his heart was not wholly devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been. 5For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians and after Milcom the detestable idol of the Ammonites. 6Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, and did not follow the LORD fully, as David his father had done. 7Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the detestable idol of Moab, on the mountain which is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the detestable idol of the sons of Ammon. 8Thus also he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

9Now the LORD was angry with Solomon because his heart was turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice, 10and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he did not observe what the LORD had commanded. 11So the LORD said to Solomon, “Because you have done this, and you have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant. 12“Nevertheless I will not do it in your days for the sake of your father David, but I will tear it out of the hand of your son. 13“However, I will not tear away all the kingdom, but I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem which I have chosen.”

So after Solomon died, He gave 10 tribes of Israel to Jeroboam and 2 to Judah.

The Southern Kingdom did nothing different than what Solomon did under his rule

In 586 BC Solomon’s Temple was Destroyed by the Babylonians

They were taken into captivity for 70 years before returning back to Jerusalem

The Northern Kingdom did nothing different either

After 200 years of Idolatry in 721 BC

God had Assyria conquer Sumeria and take the Northern Kingdom captive to Assyria.

The Covenant Curses were executed:

A nation of fierce countenance came and destroyed them

They were led into captivity, scattered among the nations, and forced to serve rigorous labor

2 Kings 17 : Israel Exiled Because of Idolatry

5Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.

6In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. 7For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,

8And walked in the statutes of the heathen,

whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel,
- and of the kings of Israel,
- which they had made.

9And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the LORD their God,

and they built them high places in all their cities,
- from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.

10And they set them up images and groves in every high hill,

and under every green tree:

11And there they burnt incense in all the high places,

as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them;
- and worked wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:

12For they served idols,

whereof the LORD had said to them,
- You shall not do this thing.

13Yet the LORD testified against Israel,

and against Judah,
- by all the prophets,
- and by all the seers, saying,
- Turn you from your evil ways,
- and keep my commandments and my statutes,
- according to all the law which I commanded your fathers,
- and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.

14Notwithstanding they would not hear,

but hardened their necks,
- like to the neck of their fathers,
- that did not believe in the LORD their God.

15And they rejected his statutes,

and his covenant that he made with their fathers,
- and his testimonies which he testified against them;
- and they followed vanity, and became vain, (worthless)
- and went after the heathen that were round about them,
- concerning whom the LORD had charged them,
- that they should not do like them.

16And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God,

and made them molten images,
- even two calves,
- and made a grove,
- and worshipped all the host of heaven,
- and served Baal.

17And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire,

and used divination and enchantments,
- and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD,
- to provoke him to anger.

18Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel,

and removed them out of his sight:
- there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.

19Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made. 20And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.

21For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drove Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin. 22For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them; 23Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria to this day.

34To this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;35With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, You shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them: 36But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall you fear, and him shall you worship, and to him shall you do sacrifice. 37And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do for ever more; and you shall not fear other gods. 38And the covenant that I have made with you you shall not forget; neither shall you fear other gods.39But the LORD your God you shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies. 40However, they did not listen, but they did after their former manner. 41So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children’s children: as did their fathers, so do they to this day.

God divorced the Northern Kingdom.

God considered Israel His bride.

They were no longer in a covenant relationship with Him and were no longer

The Northern Kingdom was taken into captivity by the Assyrians and scattered among the nations

per the curse for disobedience from the Covenant at Moab

Deuteronomy 28 : Curses for disobdience

64And the LORD shall scatter you among all people, from the one end of the earth even to the other; and there you shall serve other gods, which neither you nor your fathers have known, even wood and stone.

His divorce of the Nation of Israel meant that he disinherited them as with He did with the nations at the Tower of Babel.

UNDERSTANDING GOD’S LAW

The Law Works Debt ( – ) ,

through Transgressions

hence, you are a Slave to it.

ie when convicted of a felony, you are forced to serve a prison sentence.

Romans 4:15

Because the Law Works Wrath:

for where No Law is,

there is no transgression.

The Law is Righteousness

but we cannot obtain Righteousness from the Law

because we are all under Sin,

because of Adam.

The Law essentially established the Doomsday Clock

because the Law works Wrath.

Isaiah 24

Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

Every Transgression of the Law Adds to the Wrath being piled up.

Just as the US is trillions of dollars in debt with no possible way to repay it, and each day that debt continues to grow…

The Debt from our Sin continues to Pile up.

So what’s the point in trying to obey the Law then?

Under the Old Covenant they were counted righteous for striving for obedience to the Law

Example

if a mortage lender sees you are doing everything you can to pay down the mortgage,

the lender will not foreclose on the house because it is still bearing them some profit.

however if you just bail, and make no effort to pay the bills

the lender will take the house from you.

Those who strived to keep the Law from faith

is anagolous to them doing everything they could to pay down the debt.

God allowed them to take part in the Promises and Blessings

they were bearing Fruit towards God.

Those who rebel,

is anagolous to not paying anything down on the mortage

Disinherited

bear no fruit towards Him

God created Us for a reason.

To be in a relationship with Him.

If we don’t bear fruit to Him, we are of no use to Him (vain/worthless).

If you planted a garden and sowed seeds that brought forth no fruit, you would uproot them and throw them away.

Wheat vs Tares

The Law was established to shed light onto what since was and why were created.

All the things stipulated in the Law that you were not to do,

were the things that they were doing in Babylon, Sodom, and Egypt

hence the Law serves as a tool (stone/target) which to aim,

to separate and distinguish whose are His through Obedience and Faith

God disinherited the Nations (the sons of Adam)

and chose Jacob (Israel) to be His people.

EXODUS 11:7

that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.

Leviticus 20: Keep All My Decrees

22Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all mine ordinances, and do them; that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, vomit you not out. 23And ye shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them. 24But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am Jehovah your God, who hath separated you from the peoples. 25Ye shall therefore make a distinction between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by bird, or by anything wherewith the ground teemeth, which I have separated from you as unclean. 26And ye shall be holy unto me: for I, Jehovah, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that ye should be mine.

27A man also or a woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.

Deuteronomy 32: Song of Moses

8“When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance,
            When He separated the sons of man,
            He set the boundaries of the peoples
            According to the number of the sons of Israel.

9“For the LORD’S portion is His people;
Jacob is the allotment of His inheritance.

THE TRIAL OF FAITH

In a trial, the evidence is presented to the Judge.

The Prosecutor lays forth evidence to Accuse someone

that a law was broken

and deserves to receive the penalty

that is stipulated in the law per the offense.

Laws are put in place

for the well being of others and yourself,

to keep peace and justice. (ie for our own good)

When a verdict is declared (Judgement)

If found that you have not broken a law,

you are declared not guilty

(Justified | Righteous)

If found that you have broken/transgress a law (Sinned)

you are declared guilty and condemned to punishment

(Unrighteous)

Moses Law defines :

Righteousness and Truth

It has Dominion Over Man (Adam) as long as he lives.

Moses Law contains :

The Law of Righteousness

& The Law of Sin and Death

Romans 12 : God’s Law is Holy

7What shall we say then?

Is the law sin? God forbid.

No, I had not known sin, but by the law:

for I had not known lust,
except the law had said,
You shall not covet.

8But sin, taking occasion by the commandment,

worked in me all manner of concupiscence.
For without the law
sin was dead.

9For I was alive without the law once: (Adam : the Old Man : The body of flesh)

but when the commandment came,
sin revived,
and I died.

10And the commandment,

which was ordained to life,
I found to be to death.

11For sin, taking occasion by the commandment,

deceived me,
and by it slew me.

12Why the law is holy,

and the commandment holy,
and just, and good.

Struggling with Sin

13Was then that which is good made death to me? God forbid.

But sin, that it might appear sin,

working death in me by that which is good;
that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

14For we know that the law is spiritual:

but I am carnal,
sold under sin.

15For that which I do I allow not:

for what I would, that do I not;
but what I hate, that do I.

16If then I do that which I would not,

I consent to the law that it is good.

17Now then it is no more I that do it,

but sin that dwells in me.

18For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,)

dwells no good thing:
- for to will is present with me;
- but how to perform that which is good I find not.

19For the good that I would I do not:

but the evil which I would not,
that I do.

20Now if I do that I would not,

it is no more I that do it,
but sin that dwells in me.

21I find then a law, that,

when I would do good,
evil is present with me.

22For I delight

in the law of God
after the inward man:

23But I see another Law in my Members,

warring against
- the Law of my Mind, (war in Heaven)
and bringing me into captivity
- to the Law of Sin
- which is in my Members.

24O wretched man that I am!

who shall deliver me from the body of this death? (Adam : the Old Man : The body of flesh)

25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

So then with the Mind
- I myself serve the Law of God;
but with the Flesh
- the Law of Sin.

The Law was Added ( + ) because of Transgressions,

The Law is Not Sin,

but it gives Life to it,

by defining what Sin is.

SIN is an Archers term for “missing the mark”

If there was no mark or target,

there would be no way of distinguishing

if they were aiming (going) in the right direction

God gave us a Scope to look through

so we don’t miss and fall short

Sin aka Missing the Mark / Target / The Bulls Eye:

Which is Righteousness through Faith

He is the Finisher of our Faith:

He already Hit the mark / target for us

Righteousness

and Holiness

by fulfilling the requirements of the Law

We just have to follow the same path he carved for us on the Cross

by abiding in Him through His Holy Spirit

which dwells in our hearts

and circumcises it from the reproach of the flesh

and works to kill the works of the flesh

The Covenant of Circumcision made with Abraham

does not mean:

that if you are Circumcised

you are Righteous.

no one is Righteous

because everyone has broken the Law.

it was just a token of the fact that

you are you in Debt to do the whole Law

which was put in place for our own good

Jesus fulfilled that for us so we are made righteous in His sight through Him.

Circumcision was done by:

taking a knife and cutting off the flesh from the foreskin

to remove the reproach.

This was a foreshadowing:

of Jesus who was the “The Word” made flesh,

whose flesh was crucified

and then sent His Holy Spirit to dwell in our hearts

God’s Law (Righteousness) is sown into our hearts

so the image of Him could be formed in us

to remove the reproach of the sin in our flesh

which was sown by the serpent

Hebrews 4 :

For the word of God is quick,

and powerful,
and sharper than any twoedged 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.

We know longer are in bondage to serve dead works.

We are old self is dead in Christ and we are born again through His spirit so we can serve the Living God.

Alchemy is the “Dark Art” which came from Egypt, where God called His people out of.

It stems from trying to accomplish personal redemption through their own own works.

“The Cross”

is the Alchemical symbol for “the 4 Elements”

“Bulls Eye” / “Target”

is the Alchemical symbol for “the Sun”

Galatians 4 : Sons and Heirs (Genesis 21:1-8; Romans 8:12-17)
3Even so we, when we were children,

were in bondage under the elements of the world:
- 4But when the fullness of the time was come,
  - God sent forth his Son,
    - made of a woman,
    - made under the law,
  - 5To redeem them that were under the law,
    - that we might receive the adoption of sons.
  - 6And because you are sons,
  - God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son
    - into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
7Why you are no more a servant,
- but a son;
- and if a son,
  - then an heir of God through Christ.

Paul’s Concern for the Galatians

8However, then, when you knew not God,

you did service to them which by nature are no gods.

9But now, after that you have known God, or rather are known of God,

how turn you again to the weak and beggarly elements,
whereunto you desire again to be in bondage?

19My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,

. 9 And the LORD said unto Joshua,

This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you.

Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day.

We bear the image of God through His Son

the Image of Righteousness

expressed in the 10 commandments;

when we observe His commandments and do them.

Not through a picture, artwork, or a graven image.

Jesus (the Light) made in God’s Righteous Image

Gave the Law and Instructions for the Tabernacle to Moses

The Law and Tabernacle were

Shadows of good things to come

but not the very image

a shadow

is an sketch/outline cast by an object and representing the form of that object

It is shade caused by interception of light

The Light was intercepted by Sin which lives in the flesh

which cast the shadow and made the Law weak

When Christ died on the cross :

the veil in the temple was torn in 2

the veil (represented His Flesh)

the temple (which was a shadow representation of his body)

The Flesh was corrupt through The Fall intercepted the Light

Aaron (“light bringer”), the High Priest,

went in once a year to make atonement for all of Israel

he went in with the blood of bulls and calves

was symbolic of what Christ would do on the Cross

Now Christ (“light bringer”), the New Eternal High Priest,

went into the Holy of Holy’s once and for all to atone for our sins

He is the light of the world, not the Sun

Jesus went in with His own blood

We now have direct access to the light

because it is now written in our hearts and minds

bypassing the flesh

We are now in His Likeness and His Image

through the Holy Spirit which He gave to us.

We are clothed with His Righteousness

Our sins (where we missed the mark) are atoned for

We have direct access to the father

If we don’t have his spirit

we are still naked and apart from God

as were Adam and Eve when they were kicked out of the Garden

subject to the wrath and curses stipulated in the Law

Jesus sent His Son to Redeem mankind through grace

Those who don’t accept Him will be Judged by God

John 12 : Some Believe in Jesus

42Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: 43For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. 44Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me. 45And he that sees me sees him that sent me. 46I am come a light into the world, that whoever believes on me should not abide in darkness.

47And if any man hear my words, and believe not,
- I judge him not:
  - for I came not to judge the world,
  - but to save the world.
48He that rejects me,
- and receives not my words,
- has one that judges him:
  - the word that I have spoken,
  - the same shall judge him in the last day.

Sin does not exist without the Law.

ie there is no way to miss the mark if there is no target in which to aim.

Sin is enforced by the Law.

The Sting of Death is Sin;

The Strength of Sin is the Law.

Matthew 5 : Jesus Fulfills the Law

17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. 18For truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth pass, one stroke or one pronunciation mark shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.19Whoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20For I say to you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

The Lost of Sheep = “The Northern Kingdom of Israel”

aka The House of Joseph

aka The House of Ephraim

Joshua, was from the Tribe of Ephraim.

Ephraim was the son of Joseph born to him in Egypt

He was adopted into receiving the Promises of the Tribes by Jacob.

Jacob said he would be fullness of the nations.

GENESIS 48

5And now your two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine. 17And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head. 18And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head. 19And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.

John 4 : Jesus and the Samaritan Woman

1When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, 2(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,) 3He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee. 4And he must needs go through Samaria. 5Then comes he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

Genesis 29 : Jacob’s Well :: Jacob Meets Rachel

1Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east. 2And he looked, and behold, a well in the field, and, lo, three flocks of sheep lying there by it. For out of that well they watered the flocks. And the stone upon the well’s mouth was great. 3And thither were all the flocks gathered. And they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well’s mouth in its place.

4And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence are ye? And they said, Of Haran are we. 5And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him. 6And he said unto them, Is it well with him? And they said, It is well. And, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep. 7And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together. Water ye the sheep, and go and feed them. 8And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth. Then we water the sheep.

9While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep. For she kept them.

7There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus said to her, Give me to drink. 8(For his disciples were gone away to the city to buy meat.) 9Then said the woman of Samaria to him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.10Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that said to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water. 11The woman said to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from where then have you that living water? 12Are you greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? 13Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinks of this water shall thirst again: 14But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

15The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come here to draw. 16Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband, and come here. 17The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have well said, I have no husband: 18For you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: in that said you truly. 19The woman said to him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. 20Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21Jesus said to her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. 24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 25The woman said to him, I know that Messias comes, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 26Jesus said to her, I that speak to you am he.

Zechariah 9 : Zion’s Coming King (Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-40; John 12:12-19)

9Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy king cometh unto thee; he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass. 10And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow shall be cut off; and he shall speak peace unto the nations: and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth. 11As for thee also, because of the blood of thy covenant I have set free thy prisoners from the pit wherein is no water. 12Turn you to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope: even to-day do I declare that I will render double unto thee. 13For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man.

Genesis 49 : JACOB BLESSES JUDAH

9Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, you are gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? 10The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and to him shall the gathering of the people be. 11Binding his foal to the vine, and his ass’s colt to the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: 12His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.

Jacob Blesses Joseph

22Joseph is a fruitful bough,

even a fruitful bough by a well;
whose branches run over the wall:
23The archers have sorely grieved him,
- and shot at him,
- and hated him:
  - 24But his bow stayed in strength, (through Judah and the Law)
    - and the arms of his hands were made strong
    - by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob;
- (from there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)

25Even by the God of your father, who shall help you; and by the Almighty, who shall bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb: 26The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brothers.

The archers sorely grieved Joseph (sinners missing the mark, perverting the truth)

The Lord will Save His People (Isaiah 45:14-25)

14And Jehovah shall be seen over them; and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south. 15Jehovah of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar. 16And Jehovah their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted on high over his land. 17For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.

Ephesians 2 : One in Christ

11Why remember, that you being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

They were called Gentiles which means “of the Nations” because

they taken captive by Assyria

and assimilated into the Nations.

They were called Uncircumcision because

they (the Northern Kingdom) were disobedient,

hence, Circumcision became Uncircumcision.

Hence they became known as the Lost Sheep.

12That at that time you were without Christ,

being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel,
- and strangers from the covenants of promise,
- having no hope,
- and without God in the world:
  - 13But now in Christ Jesus you who sometimes were far off are made near by the blood of Christ.

14For he is our peace,

who has made both one,
- and has broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
- 15Having abolished in his flesh the enmity,
- even the law of commandments contained in ordinances;
- for to make in himself of two one new man,
- so making peace;
- 16And that he might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross,
  - having slain the enmity thereby:
    - 17And came and preached peace to you which were afar off,
    - and to them that were near.

18For through him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

Hebrews 9 : The Earthly Tabernacle(Exodus 25:1-9; Exodus 40:1-33)

1Then truly the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

2For there was a tabernacle made;

the first, wherein was
- the candlestick,
  - and the table,
  - and the show bread;
  - which is called the sanctuary.
- 3And after the second veil,
  - the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;
  - 4Which had the golden censer,
  - and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold,
  - wherein was
    - the golden pot that had manna,
    - and Aaron’s rod that budded,
    - and the tables of the covenant;
    - 5And over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy seat;
    - of which we cannot now speak particularly.

6Now when these things were thus ordained,

the priests went always into the first tabernacle,
- accomplishing the service of God.
- 7But into the second went the high priest alone once every year,
  - not without blood,
  - which he offered for himself,
  - and for the errors of the people:
    - 8The Holy Ghost this signifying,
    - that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest,
    - while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
      - 9Which was a figure for the time then present,
      - in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices,
      - that could not make him that did the service perfect,
        
        as pertaining to the conscience;
      - 10Which stood only in meats and drinks,
      - and divers washings,
      - and carnal ordinances,
      - imposed on them until the time of reformation.

Redemption through His Blood

11But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come,

by a greater and more perfect tabernacle,
- not made with hands,
- that is to say, not of this building;

12Neither by the blood of goats and calves,

but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place,
- having obtained eternal redemption for us.

13For if the blood of bulls and of goats,

and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean,
- sanctifies to the purifying of the flesh:

14How much more shall the blood of Christ,

who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God,
- purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

15And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament,

that by means of death,
- for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament,
- they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

16For where a testament is,

there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

17For a testament is of force after men are dead:

otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator lives.

18Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.

19For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the 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, 20Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God has enjoined to you. 21Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. 22And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

23It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: 25Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place every year with blood of others; 26For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world has he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.27And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment: 28So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and to them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin to salvation.

Moses Tabernacle and the Law served as

a Shadow of the good things to come,

but not the very image.

They served as a temporary placeholder (and an example)

of what His son would do for us.

The Law and the Old Covenant contained

the promise of inheriting the Promised Land of Canaan.

with hope of being blessed while in the land.

Moses spoke the Law to them,

and sprinkled the blood of calves,

and of goats,

with water,

and scarlet wool,

and hyssop,

and sprinkled 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.

Aaron, the High Priest,

went into the Holiest of Holies once a year with the blood of bulls and calves

to offer forgiveness of sins for himself and the people of Israel once a year.

This was a representation of how to be reconciled to God:

God dwelt in the Holy of Holy’s above the Cherubim on the Ark of the Covenant

which shadowed the Mercy Seat

Hebrews 8 : The New Covenant

7For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

8For finding fault with them, he said, Behold, the days come, said the Lord,

when I will make a new covenant
- with the House of Israel
- and with the House of Judah:

9Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt;

because they continued not in my covenant,
- and I regarded them not, said the Lord.

10For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, said the Lord;

I will put my laws into their mind,
- and write them in their hearts:
- and I will be to them a God,
- and they shall be to me a people:

11And they shall not teach every man his neighbor,

and every man his brother, saying,
- Know the Lord: for all shall know me,
- from the least to the greatest.

12For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness,

and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

13In that he said, A new covenant, he has made the first old.

Now that which decays and waxes old is ready to vanish away.

Hebrews 10 : Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All (Psalm 147:1-20; Romans 3:1-8)

1For the law having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh. 2Else would they not have ceased to be offered? because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins. 3But in those’sacrifices there is a remembrance made of sins year by year. 4For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.

5Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, But a body didst thou prepare for me; 6In whole burnt offerings and’sacrifices for sin thou hadst no pleasure: 7Then said I, Lo, I am come (In the roll of the book it is written of me) To do thy will, O God.

8Saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and’sacrifices for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein (the which are offered according to the law), 9then hath he said,

Lo, I am come to do thy will.

He taketh away the first,
- that he may establish the second.
- 10By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11And every priest indeed standeth day by day ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, the which can never take away sins: 12but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13henceforth expecting till his enemies be made the footstool of his feet. 14For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 15And the Holy Spirit also beareth witness to us; for after he hath said,

16This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, saith the Lord:
- I will put my laws on their heart,
  - And upon their mind also will I write them;
  - then saith he,
    - 17And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
    - 18Now where remission of these is,
      - there is no more offering for sin.

THE NEW COVENANT

the promise of inheriting Eternal Life.

a new and better hope

The Law made nothing perfect but the bringing in of a better hope it did.

Covenant of Abraham : Circumcision of the Foreskin (Flesh)

The New Covenant : Circumcision of the Heart

and he sprinkled a mixture of

the blood from bulls and goats that been sacrificed

and scarlet wool,

and hyssop,

on the book of the Law and on the people…

which enjoined them

(the Law was made weak through the flesh)

The New Covenant

has the Law already written into our Mind

and into our Hearts

through the blood that was shed by Jesus (the sacrificial lamb),

His flesh through which the blood was shed

was what the veil in Moses Tabernacle represented.

The way of entrance into the Holy Place to be reconciled with God

because of His Mercy and Righteousness, not our own (which is what the Mercy Seat above the Ark represented)

we are sanctified and made clean

14For he is our peace,

who has made both one,

and has broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

15Having abolished in his flesh the enmity,

even the law of commandments contained in ordinances;

for to make in himself of two one new man,

so making peace;

16And that he might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross,

having slain the enmity thereby:

He gained entrance for us once and for all

When we accept Him into our hearts and confess He is Lord

Our Scarlet Sins, are made white linen

He sends His Holy Spirit to dwell in us

which we are enjoined by

and it is the Living Water the springs up everlasting
7There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus said to her, Give me to drink. 8(For his disciples were gone away to the city to buy meat.) 9Then said the woman of Samaria to him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.10Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that said to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water. 11The woman said to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from where then have you that living water? 12Are you greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? 13Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinks of this water shall thirst again: 14But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

15The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come here to draw. 16Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband, and come here. 17The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have well said, I have no husband: 18For you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: in that said you truly. 19The woman said to him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. 20Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21Jesus said to her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. 24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 25The woman said to him, I know that Messias comes, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 26Jesus said to her, I that speak to you am he.

24For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands,

which are the figures of the true;

but into heaven itself,

now to appear in the presence of God for us:

Jesus, the New High Priest, went into the Holy of Holies once with His own righteous blood to offer forgiveness of sins for anyone who believes.

A Call to Persevere(Jude 1:17-23)

19Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 21and having a great priest over the house of God; 22let us draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience: and having our body washed with pure water, 23let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised: 24and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works; 25not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another ; and so much the more, as ye see the day drawing nigh.

26For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins,27but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries. 28A man that hath set at nought Moses law dieth without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses: 29of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 30For we know him that said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

32But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings;33partly, being made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, becoming partakers with them that were so used. 34For ye both had compassion on them that were in bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of you possessions, knowing that ye have for yourselves a better possession and an abiding one. 35Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward. 36For ye have need of patience, that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.

37For yet a very little while, He that cometh shall come, and shall not tarry. 38But my righteous one shall live by faith: And if he shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him. 39But we are not of them that shrink back unto perdition; but of them that have faith unto the saving of the soul.

The Northern Kingdom was Divorced by God

They were in Bondage to Serving the Law’s Curse because of disobedience and penalties associated with it.

They were no longer in Covenant relationship with Him, they had No Hope.

Christ bought us with a Price (Redeemed us from the bondage of the Curse) through His Death on The Cross ( + ).

We are now Reconciled to God through His Son.

Our Debt has been paid, and our obligation to fulfill the Law was accomplished by Him.

Matthew 11 :

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

God sent him to be a Propitiation for Sin

where the sacrificial animal (innocent lamb) comes under God’s Wrath as it is killed,

through Faith in his Blood.

We are Justified (declared Righteous) by Faith in Christ,

in His Blood that was shed,

because the Law states,

there is no remission of sin without the shedding of blood.

Jesus received God’s Wrath on the Cross

our Faith in him counts the Debt and Wrath satisfied.

We gain Pardon and Acquittal (forgiveness) from Judgement

He Redeemed us from the Curse of the Law,

being made a Curse for us.

Not because we deserved it, through adherence to the Law,

but through our Faith in the one who did fulfill all Righteousness on our behalf.

We are Reconciled to God, and brought back into Covenant relationship with Him,

and can take part in the Promises which is our Hope.

Because of Transgressions ( – )

The Law was Added ( + )

“Joseph” means “God has Added”   ( + )

He was made to be Sin ( – ),

who knew No Sin,

that we might be made Righteous in Him. ( + )

The Target (goal) :

Righteousness and Holiness (The Bulls Eye)

The Scope used for Correct Aim :

The Law

(which Jesus Fulfilled)

on the Cross

When you take aim through a scope, you look with one eye

If thine eye be single, the whole body shall be full of light

We are Reconciled to God (no longer divorced)

and brought back into covenant relationship with him,

and can take part in the promises which is our hope.

Matthew 7 :

21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work Lawlessness (iniquity)

Unless you are born again you shall in no wise enter into the Kingdom

We are Buried with him by Baptism,

and Raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father,

now being Justified in His sight.

We are now Dead to the Law, and Alive in Him.

We are planted together in the likeness of His death

(a seed must die in order to become something new),

and we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection.

By the righteousness of 1 free gift, came justification unto life of all men

By the disobedience of 1, many were made sinners

By the obedience of 1, many were made righteous

Sin reigned through death Grace reigned unto righteousness to life

The Law entered that the offence may abound But grace did much more abound

Romans 8 : No Condemnation in Christ

1There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,

who walk not after the flesh,
- but after the Spirit.

2For the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus

has made me Free from the Law of Sin and Death.

3For what the Law could not do,

in that it was Weak through the Flesh,
- God sending his own Son in the likeness of Sinful Flesh,
- and for Sin,
- condemned Sin in the Flesh:

4That the Righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us,

who walk not after the Flesh,
- but after the Spirit.

5For they that are after the Flesh do mind the things of the Flesh;

but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

6For to be Carnally minded is Death;

but to be Spiritually minded is life and peace.

7Because the Carnal Mind is Enmity against God:

for it is not Subject to the Law of God,
- neither indeed can be.

8So then they that are in the Flesh cannot please God.

Control by the Spirit(Galatians 5:16-26)

9But you are Not in the Flesh,

but in the Spirit,
- if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.
- Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ,
  - he is none of his.

10And if Christ be in you,

the Body is Dead because of Sin;
- but the Spirit is life because of Righteousness.

11But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you,

he that raised up Christ from the dead
- shall also quicken your mortal bodies
- by his Spirit that dwells in you.

Heirs with Christ (Genesis 21:1-8; Galatians 4:1-7)

12Therefore, brothers, we are Debtors, ( – )

not to the flesh,
- to live after the flesh.

13For if you live after the flesh,

you shall die:
- but if you through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body,
- you shall live.

14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God,

they are the sons of God.

15For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear;

but you have received the Spirit of Adoption,

Ephraim wasn’t one of the original 12 tribes but was adopted into receiving the promises by Jacob.

whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

16The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit,

that we are the children of God:

17And if children,

then heirs; heirs of God,
- and joint-heirs with Christ;
- if so be that we suffer with him,
- that we may be also glorified together.

Future Glory (2 Corinthians 5:1-10)

18For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19For the earnest expectation of the creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of God. 20For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who has subjected the same in hope, 21Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now. 23And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 24For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man sees, why does he yet hope for? 25But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

26Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

God Works In All Things (Ephesians 1:3-14)

28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

31What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifies. 34Who is he that comdemns? It is Christ that died, yes rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

We are His work, made to do good Works.

More than Conquerors (Psalm 44:1-26)

35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36As it is written, For your sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

When we Abide in Him and His Love through Faith ( a conviction of the Truth ):

We are no longer Subject to the Wrath stipulated in the Law

We are not longer Under the Curse of the Law or Sin

This does not make the Law Void, it Establishes the Law.

If we were charged with murder, and we were somehow acquitted (Grace/Mercy),

this should make me even more gracious and mindful of never doing it again (obedience)

John 15

7 If ye Abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. …

10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall Abide in my love;

even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.

We are commanded to Love God and Love others.

To Love God is to Keep The Commandments which produces the Fruits of the Spirit.

“Joseph” means “God has added” :: “Ephraim” (Joseph’s Son) means “double fruit”

“God has added” ( + ) “double fruit”

Galations 5

22But the fruit of the Spirit is

love,
- joy,
- peace,
- long-suffering, (patience)
- gentleness,
- goodness,
- faith,
- 23Meekness, (humility)
- temperance: (self control)

against such there is no law.

24And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Matthew 10 : The Sword of the Gospel

38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it

What is Love?

1 Corinthians 13 : Love

1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profits me nothing.

4Love suffers long, (perserve patiently)

and is kind;

love does not envy; (covet, desire, pursue)
love brags not itself, (boast, self display)
is not puffed up, (pride)
does not behave itself unseemly, (to act indecent)
seeks not her own, (selfish, self seeking)
is not easily provoked,
thinks no evil;
rejoices not in iniquity, (wickedness)
- but rejoices in the truth;
bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.

8Love never fails: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.10But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13And now stays faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

“The End Justifies the Means”

Christ Justifies those that have Faith in Him

The Means of Salvation :: Faith (not the works of the Law)

The End of the Law :: Christ for Righteousness to anyone that believes.

The Cause of Salvation :: Grace and Mercy (a free gift)

The Effect :: Salvation (saved from the wrath of the Law) by being declared Justified/Righteous through Faith

When we begin to understand

the completeness of our Justification

our being made Righteous in God’s sight

through the Spirit of His Son Living in Us,

we can rest in his promises

and Rejoice in the ongoing

Discipline (correction)

Chastening

Refinement,

and Tribulation

of our Sanctification (process of being made Holy).

Grieve Not the Holy Spirit

Hebrews 12 : God Disciplines His Sons

4You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.

5And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to children,
My son, despise not you the chastening of the Lord,
- nor faint when you are rebuked of him:
  - 6For whom the Lord loves he chastens,
    - and whips every son whom he receives.
7If you endure chastening,
- God deals with you as with sons;
- for what son is he whom the father chastens not?
8But if you be without chastisement,
- whereof all are partakers,
- then are you bastards,
- and not sons.
9Furthermore 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?
10For they truly for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure;
- but he for our profit,
- that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous,
- but grievous:
  - nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness
    - to them which are exercised thereby.
12Why lift up the hands which hang down,
- and the feeble knees;
13And make straight paths for your feet,
- lest that which is lame be turned out of the way;
- but let it rather be healed.

A Call to Holiness (1 Peter 1:13-21)

14Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 15Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 16Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. 17For you know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

Holiness was required to be a Levitical Priests (Leviticus 21)

We will be priests with Him when He returns.

Revelation 20 : Satan Bound 1000 years

4And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark on their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection: on such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Hebrews 6 : God’s Promise is Certain

13For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he swore by himself, 14Saying, Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you. 15And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.16For men truly swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. 17Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show to the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: 18That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us: 19Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters into that within the veil; 20Where the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

You are typically placed under a Lie Detector Test when faced being convicted of Crime.

The tie a band around your heart

it measures and records several physiological indices such as blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and skin conductivity while the subject is asked and answers a series of questions

You are first asked basic questions like what your name is to establish a baseline of truth before it asks more interrogating questions

if you are telling the truth

the needle drawing a straight line

if you are telling a lie

the needle jumps all over the place

Isaiah 59

The way of peace they know not;

and there is no judgment in their goings:

they have made them crooked paths:

whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.

Deuteronomy 5 : Moses Intercedes for the People(Exodus 20:18-21; Hebrews 12:18-29)

28And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and Jehovah said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken. 29Oh that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever! 30Go say to them, Return ye to your tents. 31But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it. 32Ye shall observe to do therefore as Jehovah your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 33Ye shall walk in all the way which Jehovah your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.

Moses Law is what establishes Truth.

It is the baseline of Truth which is Righteousness.

Unrighteousness makes the polygraph needle jump all over the place to the right and left.

Unrighteousness means you failed the Lie Detector Test and guilty of the Crime (SIN).

Therefore you condemned to punishment (Judgement).

God establishes the baseline of Truth with His Law and God is the Judges based on whether or not you can keep the line straight.

God, being merciful, gave us a way to pass the Polygraph through the giving of His Son and His Mercy.

When we abide in His Holy Spirit the polygraph needle stays straight under interrogation and tribulation.

Thus being able to pass the test, and declared Righteous in his sight.

God is the one searching the Heart.

26Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

John 1:17

For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

The Law is Truth but it became weak through the flesh.

The Holy Spirit, is the Spirit of Truth, which is written on our hearts.

The Law was administered to Israel and by Moses.

they heard it but since Sin lived in there flesh it became weak and void.

the flesh barred it from being sown into their hearts.

The Law was administered to the Lost Sheep of Israel by the Holy Spirit

since Christ had gained access into the Holy of Holy’s once and for all

the Holy Spirit was able to bypass the flesh (veil) and

the Law is written directly into our hearts,

the Holy Spirit works now to kill/mortify the Sin that lives in our flesh.

The Covenant established with Abraham was Circumcision of the Flesh.

11“And you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be the sign of the covenant between Me and you. 12“And every male among you who is eight days old shall be circumcised throughout your generations, a servant who is born in the house or who is bought with money from any foreigner, who is not of your descendants. 13“A servant who is born in your house or who is bought with your money shall surely be circumcised; thus shall My covenant be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. 14“But an uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”

The New Covenant established with Christ was the Circumcision of the Heart.

Romans 2 : The Jews and the Law

28For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly;

neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh:

but he is a Jew who is one inwardly;

and circumcision is that of the heart,

in the spirit not in the letter;

whose praise is not of men,

but of God.

The Polygraph needle stays straight if we Abide in Truth (his Holy Spirit given to us by Him who fulfilled the Law)

(I am the Way, The Truth, and Light, no man come to Father but by me)

The Needle is Established (Fixed) by Grace and are considered Not Guilty.

When we do sin, we have a intecessor (attorney), the Holy Spirit, given to us by Jesus,

that pleads for us on our behalf in front of the Judge (God) as did Moses

26Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities:

for we know not what we should pray for as we ought:

but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit,

because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

The Outcome of the TRIAL OF FAITH is Salvation of the Soul ((old) Man :: Adam :: flesh)

For as many as are Under the Works of the Law are Under the Curse: (Alchemist)

Since we are Alive in Him we are in Debt now ( – )

to Crucify the Works of the Flesh (the old Man, Adam)

Adultery

Fornication

Uncleanness

Lasciviousness

Idolatry

Hatred

Variance

Emulations

Witchcraft

Wrath

Strife

Seditions

Heresies

Envyings

Murder

Drunkenness

Revellings

so we can live and be led by the Spirit.

Our Labour is the Labour of Love.

Labor not for the meat which perisheth,

but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life.

Which the son of man shall give unto you:

For Him hat God the Father Sealed.

We Labour to enter into God’s Rest which is promised to us who believe.

He that has entered into God’s rest has ceased from His own Works.

We Labour that we may be accepted of Him, Whether present of Absent.

1 Thessalonians

2We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;

3remembering without ceasing

your work of faith

and labor of love

and patience of hope

in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

4knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election, 5how that our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; even as ye know what manner of men we showed ourselves toward you for your sake. 6And ye became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit; 7so that ye became an ensample to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia. 8For from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith to God-ward is gone forth; so that we need not to speak anything.

9For they themselves report concerning us what manner of entering in we had unto you;

and how ye turned unto God from idols,

to serve a living and true God,

10and to wait for his Son from heaven,

whom he raised from the dead,

even Jesus, who delivereth us from the wrath to come.

Just as you cannot be Justified by the Works of the Law

neither can you be Justified by Discipline
- but is an expression of the fact that you have been Reconciled to Him.
