Justification

God’s standard of Righteousness

Justification, Righteous, True Stones, Faith (Ful), Trial of Faith

We are JUSTIFIED by HIS BLOOD through FAITH and obedience to His Commandments. 

Being JUSTIFIED in HIS sight, means you are TRUE, RIGHTEOUS, BLAMELESS, INNOCENT and UPRIGHT.  

He works to carve His image into us and to make us TRUE stones through his Holy Spirit.

Romans 2 : God’s Righteous Judgment (Genesis 4:1-7; Jude 1:3-16)

1Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are that judge: for wherein you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you that judge do the same things. 2But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. 3And think you this, O man, that judge them which do such things, and do the same, that you shall escape the judgment of God? 4Or despise you the riches of his goodness and forbearance and long-suffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? 5But after your hardness and impenitent heart treasure up to yourself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; 6Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 7To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life: 8But to them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 9Tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man that does evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 10But glory, honor, and peace, to every man that works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: 11For there is no respect of persons with God.

12For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; 13(For not the hearers of the law are just ^[g1342]before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified ^[g1344]. 14For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law to themselves: 15Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) 16In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

Romans 3 : God Remains Faithful (Psalm 147:1-20; Hebrews 10:1-18)

1What advantage then has the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? 2Much every way: chiefly, because that to them were committed the oracles of God. 3For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? 4God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified ^[g1344]in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. 5But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who takes vengeance? (I speak as a man) 6God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? 7For if the truth of God has more abounded through my lie to his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? 8And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.

There is No One Righteous (Psalm 14:1-7)

9What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; 10As it is written, There is none righteous ^[g1342], no, not one: 11There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God. 12They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, no, not one. 13Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: 14Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 15Their feet are swift to shed blood: 16Destruction and misery are in their ways: 17And the way of peace have they not known: 18There is no fear of God before their eyes. 19Now we know that what things soever the law said, it said to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified ^[g1344]in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.

Justified by Faith

21But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ to all and on all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24Being justified ^[g1344]freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:: 25Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he might be just ^[g1344], and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.. 27Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? No: but by the law of faith. 28Therefore we conclude that a man is justified ^[g1344]by faith without the deeds of the law.29Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30Seeing [it is] one God, which shall justify ^[g1344]the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 31Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yes, we establish the law.

Romans 4 : Abraham’s Justification by Faith (Genesis 15:1-7; Galatians 3:1-9; Hebrews 11:8-19; James 2:14-26)

1What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, has found? 2For if Abraham were justified ^[g1344]by works, he has whereof to glory; but not before God. 3For what said the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness. 4Now to him that works is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5But to him that works not, but believes on him that justifies ^[g1344]the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 6Even as David also describes the blessedness of the man, to whom God imputes righteousness without works, 7Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

Romans 5 : Faith Brings Peace and Joy (John 14:27-31)

1Therefore being justified ^[g1344]by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation works patience; 4And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5And hope makes not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given to us.

Christ’s Sacrifice for the Ungodly (Genesis 22:1-10; John 3:16-21)

6For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8But God commends his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9Much more then, being now justified ^[g1344]by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.10For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

We are justified by faith ( a conviction of truth ), through his blood that was shed, by means of His mercy and grace.  When we obey Him, he gives us His spirit which convicts us of truth.

No man can be justified by the Law of Moses, therefore you are under the wrath of the Law and its curses unless you have been saved by His grace through Faith.

Romans 6:7

For he that is dead is freed ^[g1344] from sin.

Romans 8:30

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified ^[g1344]: and whom he justified ^[g1344], them he also glorified.

Romans 8:33

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? [It is] God that justifieth ^[g1344].

1 Corinthians 4:4

For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified ^[g1344]: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

1 Corinthians 6:11

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified ^[g1344]in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Galatians 2 : Paul Confronts Peter

11But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. 12For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. 13And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; so that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. 14But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, If you, being a Jew, live after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compel you the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

15We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, 16Knowing that a man is not justified ^[g1344]by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified ^[g1344]by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified ^[g1344]. 17But if, while we seek to be justified ^[g1344]by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. 18For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. 19For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live to God. 20I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

 Galatians 3 : Faith and Belief (Genesis 15:1-7; Romans 4:1-12; Hebrews 11:8-19; James 2:14-26)

1O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ has been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2This only would I learn of you, Received you the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3Are you so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are you now made perfect by the flesh? 4Have you suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. 5He therefore that ministers to you the Spirit, and works miracles among you, does he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

6Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7Know you therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify ^[g1344]the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel to Abraham, saying, In you shall all nations be blessed. 9So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

Christ Redeemed Us (Deuteronomy 21:22-23)

10For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continues not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11But that no man is justify ^[g1344]by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. 12And the law is not of faith: but, The man that does them shall live in them. 13Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree: 14That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

The Purpose of the Law (Romans 7:1-6)

15Brothers, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man cancels, or adds thereto. 16Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He said not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to your seed, which is Christ. 17And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot cancel, that it should make the promise of none effect. 18For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

19Why then serves the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. 20Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.21Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness should have been by the law. 22But the scripture has concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. 23But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up to the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 24Why the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified ^[g1344] by faith. 25But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

Galatians 5:4

Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified ^[g1344]by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

1 Timothy 3:16

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified ^[g1344]in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Titus 3:7

That being justified ^[g1344] by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

James 2 : Faith and Works (Genesis 15:1-7; Romans 4:1-12; Galatians 3:1-9; Hebrews 11:8-19)

14What does it profit, my brothers, though a man say he has faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16And one of you say to them, Depart in peace, be you warmed and filled; notwithstanding you give them not those things which are needful to the body; what does it profit? 17Even so faith, if it has not works, is dead, being alone.

18Yes, a man may say, You have faith, and I have works: show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19You believe that there is one God; you do well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20But will you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21Was not Abraham our father justified ^[g1344]by works, when he had offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22See you how faith worked with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23And the scripture was fulfilled which said, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24You see then how that by works a man is justified ^[g1344], and not by faith only. 25Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified ^[g1344]by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

 
Revelation 22:11

He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous ^[g1344]still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 

Isaiah 28 :  A Cornerstone in Zion (1 Corinthians 3:10-15; 1 Peter 2:4-12)

14Why hear the word of the LORD, you scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. 15Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing whip shall pass through, it shall not come to us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: 16Therefore thus said the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believes shall not make haste.17Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. 18And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing whip shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down by it. 

 

JUSTIFICATION

is builders term for whether

a stone is “TRUE” or not

by using a  

PLUMMET

 

 

 The PLUMMET is a line or cord

that has a weight such as a plumb bob at the end

and determines verticality.

ie.  is the stone upright or 90 degrees, level, smooth, true 

 

 

If the STONE “IS NOT TRUE”

then it is considered

WORTHLESS

Our JUSTIFICATION as “TRUE” stones

IS NOT BASED OFF OUR OWN WORKS

 

 

but by the WORK DONE FOR US on the CROSS

and OBEDIENCE to HIS WORD

 

Hebrews 3 :Jesus Our Apostle and High Priest

1Why, holy brothers, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;2Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. 3For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built the house has more honor than the house. 4For every house is built by some man; but he that built all things is God. 5And Moses truly was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; 6But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.

Hebrews 8: A more excellent ministry

2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true ^[g228]tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.  3For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: why it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. 4For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:5Who serve to the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, said he, that you make all things according to the pattern showed to you in the mount. 6But now has he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.

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 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 ^[g228]; 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.

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

1For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. 2For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 4For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 5Why when he comes into the world, he said, Sacrifice and offering you would not, but a body have you prepared me: 6In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you have had no pleasure. 7Then said I, See, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do your will, O God. 8Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin you would not, neither had pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; 9Then said he, See, I come to do your will, O God. He takes away the first, that he may establish the second. 10By the which will we are Sanctified ^[g37]through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11And every priest stands daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:12But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13From now on expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 14For by one offering he has perfected for ever them that are Sanctified ^[g37].15Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, 16This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, said the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 17And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 18Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

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

19Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20By a new and living way, which he has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 21And having an high priest over the house of God; 22Let us draw near with a true ^[g228]heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24And let us consider one another to provoke to love and to good works: 25Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching.

26For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth^[g225], there remains no more sacrifice for sins, 27But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, with which he was sanctified ^[g37], an unholy thing, and has done despite to the Spirit of grace? 30For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs to me, I will recompense, said the Lord. 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 you were illuminated, you endured a great fight of afflictions;33Partly, whilst you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst you became companions of them that were so used. 34For you had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that you have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. 35Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompense of reward. 36For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise.

37For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38Now the just ^[g1342]shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39But we are not of them who draw back to perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. .

We are JUSTIFIED (declared RIGHTEOUS) 

and SAVED from WRATH through Him by FAITH 

in His Blood that was shed for us. 

 

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

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

 

THIS DOES NOT MAKE THE LAW VOID however, it ESTABLISHES THE LAW

 

EXAMPLE:

 

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) 

 

OUR DEBT IS NOW SATISFIED

 

Just as Solomon hired Stone Squarer’s to hew justified stones for the temple…

 

1 Kings 5 : Solomon’s Workmen and Laborers

. 17And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house. 18And Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders did hew them, and the stone squarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.

He works to carve His image into us and to make us TRUE stones through his Holy Spirit. We are justified by HIS BLOOD through FAITH and obedience to His Commandments.  Being JUSTIFIED in HIS sight, means you are TRUE, RIGHTEOUS, BLAMELESS, INNOCENT and UPRIGHT.  

The curse of the Law and Judgement comes from the LAW OF JEALOUSY stipulated in NUMBERS 5 in which a woman accused of Adultery is brought before the JUDGE (God) by the PRIEST (Jesus). The woman was then made to drink the bitter water that causes the curse. The Law of Jealousy’shas the most cases in all of Moses Law and is the Key to Understanding what Jesus did for us on the Cross as well as the book of Revelation.

NUMBERS 5 : THE LAW OF JEALOUSY (The adultery test)

11And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 12Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, If any man’s wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him, 13And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner; 14And the spirit of jealousy come on him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come on him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled: 15Then shall the man bring his wife to the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance. 16And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD: 17And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water: 18And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the woman’s head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causes the curse: 19And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say to the woman, If no man have lain with you, and if you have not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of your husband, be you free from this bitter water that causes the curse^[h779]:

20But if you have gone aside to another instead of your husband, and if you be defiled, and some man have lain with you beside your husband: 21Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say to the woman, The LORD make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the LORD does make your thigh to rot, and your belly to swell; 22And this water that causes the curse^[h779]shall go into your bowels, to make your belly to swell, and your thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen. 23And the priest shall write these curses^[h779]in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water: 24And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causes the curse^[h779]: and the water that causes the curse^[h779]shall enter into her, and become bitter. 25Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman’s hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it on the altar: 26And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water. 27And when he has made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causes the curse^[h779] shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse^[h779]among her people. 28And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.

29This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goes aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled; 30Or when the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute on her all this law. 31Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.

The Husband who is suspicious of his wife

having but has no witness or proof,

shall bring his wife to the PRIEST

 

THE PRIEST

 

and her offering for her,

which is the Jealousy Offering,

to bring iniquity into remembrance

 

THE JEALOUSY OFFERING

1/10 Ephah of Barley

(w/ no frankincense or oil)

 

 

THE HUSBAND

 

THE WIFE

 

The priest then sets her before the Lord

THE LORD

THE PRIEST

---

has in his hand the Holy Water mixed with dust of Tabernacle in earthen vessel which is the bitter water that curses

 

 

THE WIFE

---

the priest uncovers the wife’s head and puts the offering of memorial in her hands.

THE PRIEST shall charge her by an oath, and say to the woman, IF no man have lain with you, and IF you have not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of your husband,

be you free from this bitter water

that causes the curse

BUT IF you have gone aside to another instead of your husband, and if you be defiled, and some man have lain with you beside your husband:

Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say to the woman,

The LORD make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the LORD does make your thigh to rot, and your belly to swell; And this water that causes the curse shall go into your bowels, to make your belly to swell, and your thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.

THE PRIEST shall write these CURSES in a book,

and

then he shall BLOT THEM OUT with the BITTER WATER

THE PRIEST shall take the JEALOUSY OFFERING out of the WOMAN’S HAND

and

shall WAVE THE OFFERING before the LORD,

and offer it on the ALTAR:

THE PRIEST shall cause the woman to drink

the bitter water that causes the curse

IF SHE IS DEFILED

---

and have done trespass against her husband, the water that causes the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people

 

IF SHE IS NOT DEFILED & CLEAN

---

then she shall be free,

and shall conceive seed.

The LAW OF JEALOUSY

was implemented after the Golden Calf incident at Mount Sinai

right after God had just delivered them from out of Egypt.

When Moses came down from the Mount

after receiving the 10 commandments from God on Mount Sinai,

Israel had already fashioned a calf out the gold they had taken from the Egyptians

and said that the calf was what brought them out of Egypt.

 

He had DIVORCED ISRAEL because of their ADULTERIES listed in 2 KINGS 17

and therefore they should have received the CURSE in NUMBERS 5,

but instead He sent His only begotten son in our place to receive it for us.

HOW THE CURSE WAS FULFILLED…

THIGH FALLING AWAY

They cursed and denounced him, at the very timing of the curse going forth. The thigh is representative a person’s word or credibility, or even authority. Used in matters of keeping one’s word. This is why we see oath’s given why a man’s hand was under the others thigh.

The thigh wasting away was representative of ones credibility being useless. When Jesus did not give the crowds proof of being the Son of God, His credibility meant nothing. The strongest muscle in the body is the quadricep, in the thigh. How did his thighs waste away on the cross? It was the thighs that one used in raising themselves up, in order to breathe when being crucified. After all of this suffering and torture that happened before ever seeing the cross. Then after several hours on the cross, constantly lifting himself up, on the cross, just to struggle to breath, his thighs finally gave way. Which shows how he suffocated after saying, “It is finished”. Because truly his thighs could lift him no more. There was no strength left and he suffocated as a result of his thighs wasting away.

MATTHEW 27

40and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41In like manner also the chief priests mocking him , with the scribes and elders, said, 42He saved others; himself he cannot save. He is the King of Israel; let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him. 43He trusteth on God; let him deliver him now, if he desireth him: for he said, I am the Son of God

 

 

 

MockingJay = Mocking Jesus.

---

The Woman, the hunter, as was Nimrod,

The Egyptian Phoenix bird seen rising up behind her is a mythical bird that cyclically regenerates or is otherwise born again. Associated with the Sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor…meaning Christ the “true Son”.

He held no credibility with them

and we still see the same thing today.

 

Yet there will be no mistaking his word,

credibility, or authority, at his second coming.

 

HIS THIGH will make it very clear.

 

 

REVELATION 19

15And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.16And he hath on his garment and on his thigh a name written, KINGS OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

THE ABDOMEN SWELLING

NUMBERS 5

21then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, Jehovah make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when Jehovah doth make thy thigh to fall away, and thy abdomen to swell;

Our lungs expand towards the least resistance given. In a relaxed state, that expansion is downward. Our Savior had been up all night in a mock trial, plus we know he was stressed because his sweat was mixed with blood, the night of praying in the garden. He didn’t enter this day on a good night’s sleep, on a nice mattress. So he has been up over 24 hours, after being smacked around by the Pharisees, and having his beard pulled, he gets beat up by the Roman soldiers, then presented to his people, with a crown of thorns.

Matthew 27 : The Soldiers Mock Jesus (Isaiah 50:4-11; Mark 15:16-20; Luke 22:63-65; John 19:1-15)

27Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered to him the whole band of soldiers. 28And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 29And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! 30And they spit on him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.31And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

Then he gets flogged to the point of hardly having human recognition. Then he has to carry the weight of his own cross.

 

Every breath he took on the cross was in weakness, not strength. His lungs filled with fluids while hanging on the cross why in the hands of the Romans.

 

The shear weight of the lungs would have been enough to push down on the abdomen and push it out.

 

His stomach was pushed out just like in the curse given to the unfaithful wife in Numbers 5:21. Verse 27 gives an element of bitter suffering. He endured bitter suffering on the cross and the punishment of the unfaithful spouse.

 

 

 

NUMBERS 5 :

27And when he hath made her drink the water, then it shall come to pass, if she be defiled, and have committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her and become bitter, and her body shall swell, and her thigh shall fall away: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.

JOHN 19 : THE DEATH OF JESUS

²⁸After this Jesus, knowing that all things are now finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst. ²⁹There was set there a vessel full of vinegar: so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth.

So what scripture needed to be fulfilled that He needed to drink something?

What was He given to drink?

Wine Vinegar from a sponge.

In essence, that which is bitter.

JOHN 19

²⁴They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my garments among them, And upon my vesture did they cast lots.

³⁴howbeit one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and straightway there came out blood and water. ³⁵And he that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye also may believe. ³⁶For these things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. ³⁷And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

COLOSSIANS 2

I say , did he make alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses;14having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he hath taken it out that way, nailing it to the cross;

 

 

 

NUMBERS 5 containing

the handwriting of ordinances

 

NUMBERS 5 : THE LAW OF JEALOUSIES

23And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness:

It was these ordinances written on the scroll that were contrary to us or against us. It was these written ordinances that were washed off the scroll into the cup and then drunk in the Garden of Gethsemene by Jesus.

 

He had to drink the bitter water prescribed in His LAW for a wife accused of adultery. Then was nailed to the cross and to Jesus.

 

JOHN 8 : JESUS DELIVERS THE ADULTEROUS WOMAN

1Jesus went to the mount of Olives. 2And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down, and taught them. 3And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the middle,4They say to him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what say you? 6This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. 7So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the oldest, even to the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the middle. 10When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those your accusers? has no man condemned you? 11She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn you: go, and sin no more.

JESUS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD (1 John 1:5-10)

12Then spoke Jesus again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. 13The Pharisees therefore said to him, You bore record of yourself; your record is not true. 14Jesus answered and said to them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know from where I came, and where I go; but you cannot tell from where I come, and where I go. 15You judge after the flesh; I judge no man. 16And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. 17It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. 18I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me bears witness of me. 19Then said they to him, Where is your Father? Jesus answered, You neither know me, nor my Father: if you had known me, you should have known my Father also. 20These words spoke Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

21Then said Jesus again to them, I go my way, and you shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: where I go, you cannot come.22Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he said, Where I go, you cannot come. 23And he said to them, You are from beneath; I am from above: you are of this world; I am not of this world. 24I said therefore to you, that you shall die in your sins: for if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sins. 25Then said they to him, Who are you? And Jesus said to them, Even the same that I said to you from the beginning. 26I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. 27They understood not that he spoke to them of the Father. 28Then said Jesus to them, When you have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things. 29And he that sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. 30As he spoke these words, many believed on him.

THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE(2 John 1:4-6)

31Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; 32And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how say you, You shall be made free?

34Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin. 35And the servant stays not in the house for ever: but the Son stays ever. 36If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. 37I know that you are Abraham’s seed; but you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you. 38I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do that which you have seen with your father.

39They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham. 40But now you seek to kill me, a man that has told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. 41You do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

THE CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL

42Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, you would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43Why do you not understand my speech? even because you cannot hear my word. 44You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stayed not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45And because I tell you the truth, you believe me not. 46Which of you convinces me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do you not believe me? 47He that is of God hears God’s words: you therefore hear them not, because you are not of God.
