Yes, did you know that the first person to try and keep the people of G-d from Shabbat was the Pharaoh of Egypt? Whom held the people in bondage and the L-RD set them free from this.

We are to declare the L-rD G-d the creator of heaven and earth, in the earth by following what he did, he did his work for six days and then rested from his work. By doing the same we proclaim his holiness before the earth and the inhabitants thereof and that he alone is L-rD and creator G-d, thus shining the light of truth upon the darkness of things like Darwinism and other things designed by HaSatan to diminish the L-rD so that he can appear to be above him.

I have NO time, about to leave the office, so sorry, but, the 7th day in creation was not concluded with "the evening and the morning were the 7th day" as the previous 6 were.

The Rest of God is/was intended to be permanent, not a 24 hour period.

Do a study on Rest and see what you turn up, pretty interesting,

So then why would God Bless the 7th day and sanctify it?

The word 'sanctify' = to set apart.

When the LORD gave this instruction to Israel, it was to a people chosen from 70 nations. Taken from the 70, they became the 71st nation. There were 70 other nations which never knew God. The only nations which are ever spoken of in the Bible were nations which had direct contact with Israel, that is to say, with the Hebrew nation. That this nation would come the knowledge of God to fill the whole earth is beautifully depicted by the 12 springs watering the 70 Palm trees.

Now there is further difficulty in any of these other nations just deciding to take to themselves that which the Lord God gave to His people, the Hebrew nation. It is that they never knew God and couldn't try to take her things, but that to take what God gave to someone else is a violation of at least one of the ten commandments. It is the one which speaks of coveting.

You cannot be charged with stealing, because it can only be pretended ownership. When God gives someone something, no one can steal it. Someone can covet it though, and hold it dear in their heart, and pretend to do what the Israelites were instructed to do with it, but it doesn't really belong to anyone but to whom God gave it. That would be, God gave it to the Hebrew nation.

When the big meeting about it was then underway at the Jerusalem synagogue in Acts 15, it was because for the first time, people from outside of Israel <Hebrew nation> were to partake of Israel's spiritual things and not have to take on the burden of the law. In every instance before this, any person from any of those 70 other nations which were attracted to God, were forced by Hebrew law to become a Hebrew. The Jews then saw such an individual, not as a filthy dog any longer, but as a new born babe which needed care, and instruction in cleaness, righteousness, law, ordinance, statute, and every aspect of the Jewish life. This meant foresaking everything the gentile had in the former life as a gentile. He would, in affect, become a Jew.

In Acts 15, the result of the meating was, that it seemed good to them, and to the Holy Spirit, to lay no greater burden upon the gentiles which the Lord was then using to 'provoke Israel to emmulation', 'to provoke Israel to jealousy' <same word as emmulation> than 4 things that were absolutely necessary to be amidst the Jews and not cause offence. 3 things had to do with food laws, and 1 had to do with fornication.

Only these 4 things were given for those gentiles of the Pentacostal period to be beholden to. They were given no other things. This, of course, outraged the Jews. They were saying, look, we have the oracles of God <the rolls>, we have the law, we have every good thing that God has given, it all belongs to us, and these gentile dogs are getting it for free? This outraged the Jews.

We are told that the Jews would have been as Soddom, and destroyed as Gomorrah, if it weren't for a remnant. So from 28or 29 ad till 62 ad, 2 things happened. First the 12 preached to none other but the Jews, but they were not many who understood that this was God offering the kingdom for real, if the nation would repent. Second, in 36 ad, Paul began teaching the gentiles outside of the Jewish synagogues, but it was always to the Jew first, because it was preaching for the hope of Israel, that she might bear her fruit and receive the kingdom of God right then and there. For this reason, the believers expected to see Christ Jesus come out of heaven to the earth in their lifetime.

The commission, at the end of Mark, would be to preach to the ends of the world till all Israel had heard, with wonders and signs and miracles following them that believed, the Lord working with them.

Romans was the last letter written during the Acts period. Acts is the historical record of those years. Romans 10 tells us that all Israel did hear, that the Lord's word did indeed go out into all the world. Sad words of Isaiah are then quoted, and again in Lukes record <Acts> Isaiah is quoted again. Read Acts 28:25-28. In that last chapter also, are recorded the last of the signs and wonders and miracles.

Paul then is given his prison ministry where he was literaly chained to a Roman soldier's wrist 24 hours a day, albeit in his own house. It was ther which he wrote 4 letters. These are the ones called the prison epistles. In these <Eph, Col, Phil, 2 Tiim> Paul is writing for the first time what the declaration of Acts 28.28 declared.

For the first time ever, in all of the whole of the Bible, God gives to Paul to write that which had been 'hid in God'. What Paul was writing about had not ever been made known 'unto the sons of men', but had been 'hid from ages and from generations, but now made known unto'.

There are radicall new teachings in these prison epistles. Teaching that are not in the OT. Remember, during Acts Paul, and the 12, spoke of nothing but that which was written in the law and the prophets and the Psalms. The 12 spoke of what they had seen and heard, while Paul spoke of that which the Lord revealed. Recall too, that Paul went for 3 years to the mountains before beginning his ministry. What was he doing? Getting instruction by the Holy Spirit. What did Paul say upon returning? The apostles added nothing to him, that he was not one wit behind the apostles.

Oh, what this man must have known, 3 years of the HS preaching the OT meanings to him, learning the language of angels even. This man was given 'that good deposit', 'thoroughly furnished' unto all good works.

Paul reveal, for the first time in all of the Bible, that this new church, a church of all nations, where

chosen before the foundation of the world <Jews chosen since the foundation>

had every spiritual blessing <Jews were never given every spiritual blessing>

would be seated with Christ in the heavenly places <Jews were never told this and have earthly blessings>

were made a new creation <not a regrouping of the old covenant, the NC is future and for Israel>

this church will not see Him coming to the earth, but appear with Him when He appears

and most importantly, this new creation is called the church which is His body, the fulness that filleth all in all <this too is not in the OT>

None of this is in the OT, that God would have a people to inhabit the heavenly places. It just isnt' written until Paul reveals it to the gentiles after Acts closes. Emphasis on after Acts closes, when Israel takes her place amidst the nations <Hos3>.

Well, this was just too blasphemous. Paul then lost all the convert he ever had. He would then write of this fact, saying only Luke was with me. Paul would write that from the beginning of his prison ministry all had forsaken him.

then a few years later Rome would burn, Jerusalem would be destroyed, the great stones of Solomans temple would would fall, as per Mat24, and a church would be set up with man as its head, the people followiing blindly, the Lord not working with them, no miracles signs and wonders. nothing in the OT instructing the Jews as to what they should do if they failed to receive the kingdom offer, and the setting up of man's church on the earth, with man as its head, with gentile priests <totally unBiblical> and Pagan wierd stuff asserting its own headship in the church with centuries of Christian war, and it is even so this day.

Without knowing what is written in these 4 prison epistles, man is still worshiping the traditions of man, calling their church the church of God, taking things of Israel as if it is their own.

These churches say the people are going to heaven, but place theirselves on the earth with Israel in resurrection.

This is tragic. Doesn't anyone consider how people cann be both going to heaven and being on earth at the same time? This is just mixed up theology, it is an amalgomation from failing to rightly divide the word of truth. It is an excersize in coveting.

***************************************************************

I didn't even say what I began to say, instead it turned out to be historical overview.

I do believe that God has given us the record which bears out He shall have both and inhabited earthly kingdom as well as an inhabited heavenly kingdom.

Certain instructions are for those who will inherit the earthly

Certain instructions are for those who will inherit the heavenly

Those of the earthly kingdom were given 'the sure mercies of David'. Do you know what they are?

Act 13:34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

Isa 55:3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

Beloved children of God, This is not our hope, our calling. Ours is one which places its membership 'far above all', 'seated with Christ', 'in the heavenly places'.

We are given different instruction than called out church ever before:

Col 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

Col 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Col 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

Col 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

Col 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

Col 3:6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

Col 3:7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

Col 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

Col 3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

Col 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

Col 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

Col 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

Col 3:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

Col 3:14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

Col 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

So then what do you suggest, a Jewish believer, who was given the Shabbat as a gift , part of his heritage, stop keeping it and rest on Sunday? Or do they keep what is a perpetual covenant but be separate from the gentile believers?

You know the L-RD knew that flesh would balk against this so for 40 years he feed over a million people daily, except in Shabbat. the manna fell from the first day of the week until the sixth day of the week and then it ceased for the Shabbat, and started all over again.

I suggest that, now this is just my opinion, but I suggest that we cannot be prepared to come to the fullness of understanding until we have looked closely at all tht is written, and find where all things fit, acknowledging that there can be no condradiction in the Lord and in His Word, The Bible.

I believe God who at sundry times, spake in times past:

(1949? BC - Kingdom Promised - (4BC) >

"unto the fathers' by the Prophets, not the Priests who were to offer sacrifices and teach the Hebrew what God had said by the Prophets:

>>>

(29 AD) Kingdom At Hand>

The Son had Spoken Unto "us Hebrews", not us Gentiles. In ''these days'' of that dispensation, not in the days of which we live. God speaking by His Son was the subject of prophecy <Duet. 18:15-19>. He spoke concerning the Kingdom. He only "began" this wondrous speaking; it ended with His death.

>>>

Kingdom Postponed >(63 AD)

The ministry of the Lord in the four Gospels was carried on by the Twelve after the ascension. There was no break nor was there a new testimony beyond the fact that Chrstt was risen from the dead. They were commissioned to repeat and confirm what the Son had said. In order to understand the apostolic ministry you must understand what the Lord's ministry was (see Matt 4:17). The Apostles confinined themselves into CONFIRMING what they had heard the Lord say from the start. This proclamation continued thruogh Acts - it came to a head at Acts 28:24-28.

>>>

The Church Which is His Body Now

The Kingdom now is in abeyance. God spoke again. This last time through Paul the prisoner. The speaking was to Genitles arpart from Israel. God makes known His great sceret, 'the Mystery". Not by the Old Testament Prophets, not by His Son, not by those who hear Him, but by the Prisoner of the Lord. The unsearchable riches of Christ is now amoung the geniltes. Toay, God speaks to us through His Scriptures of truth which were penned by Paul the prisoner. Paul who was the Apostle Of the Gentiles, was given TWO CALLINGS to them. Only one of them is in view today. Failure to recongnize this has resulted in perpetual controversy about churches and ordinances.

>>>

Tribulation And The Kingdom

When the present dispensation of Grace is over, God will speak again. He will speak directly Himself.

*******************************************************************

Some facts about the crossing. This is the crossing which the weekly Sabbath was instituted as a "statute" addresses, the one they were given the Sabbath day to 'remember' it was the Lord who 'brought them...with a mighty hand':

Only the men of adult age were counted, so that means there were 2 3 million:

According to the Quartermaster General in the Army, it is reported that Moses would have to have had 1,500 tons of food each day. Do you know that to bring that much food each day, two freight trains, each at least a mile long, would be required!

Besides, you must remember, they were out in the desert, so they would have to have firewood to use in cooking the food. This would take 4,000 tons of wood and a few more freight trains, each a mile long, just for one day.

And just think, they were forty years in transit!

And, Oh yes! They would have to have water. If they only had enough to drink and wash a few dishes, it would take 11,000,000 gallons each day and a freight train with tank cars, 1,800 miles long, just to bring the water!

And then another thing!

They had to get across the Red Sea at night. Now, if they went on a narrow path, double file, the line would be 800 miles long and would require 35 days and nights to get through. So there had to be a space in the Red Sea, 3 miles wide so that they could walk 5,000 abreast to get over in one night.

But then, there is another problem - each time they camped at the end of the day, a camp ground two-thirds the size of the State of Rhode Island was required, or a total of 750 square miles long - think of it! This much space for camping.

AND THEY COULDN'T REMEMBER GOD!!! This shows how powerfull the workings of Satan are, the workings of that great spiritual foe, never forget, 'an enemy hath done this':

At the end, only two males of age 20 made into the promised land, for after 10 offerings to repent, the Lord brought them home without reward, having been swallowed up in an earthquake. That is what happened to God's chosen people when God was working with them.

We are now in a time called, the dispensation of Grace:

Eph 3:1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

Eph 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward

Eph 3:3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,

Eph 3:4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

Eph 3:5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

Eph 3:6 That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

Eph 3:7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

Eph 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

Eph 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

Eph 3:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

Eph 3:11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord

THIS LETTER OF EPHESIANS:

Although it was the first of the four prison epistles, this one is believed to be a 'circular letter', that is, it had no addressee. The customary Title to the church was left blank, therefore it is believed it was read and copied and sent forth throughout Asia, whereby all turned aside from Paul, only Luke was with him. It was then that Luke was compelled <by God> to compose the historical Acts of the Holy Spirit, called now the Acts of the apostles.

The new covenant

How does the newe covenant differ from the old?

"But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises." Heb. 8:6

What promise did God make concerning the new covenant?

But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Jeremiah 31:33,34

The same commandments which God wrote on tables of stone(all 10 of them)H also writes in the heart.

But the moral law, contained in the Ten Commandments, and enforced by the prophets, He did not take away. It was not the design of His coming to revoke any part of this. This is a law which never can be broken, which stands fast as the faithful witness in heaven. The moral stands on an entirely different foundation from the ceremonial or ritual law, which was only designed for a temporary restraint upon a disobedient and stiff-necked people; whereas this was from the beginning of the world, being "written not on tables of stone," but on the hearts of all the children of men, when they came out of the hands of the Creator.

-John Wesley

How was Christ promised as soon as sin entered?

And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Genesis 3:14,15

The covenant of grace, with its provisions of pardon and peace, dates from the foundation of the world.

To whom was this covenant-promise latere renewed?

And God said unto Abraham,... Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; Genesis 17:15, 19; 26:4

Who was the seed here referred to?

Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. Galatians 3:16

To be sure, Isaac was the promised seed. But the HS led Paul to see that the complete fulfillment of this promise was realized only in Christ.

What shows tht the new covenant and the Abrahamic covenant are virtually the same? And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Galatians 3:29 :laugh:

No one should be confused by the terms first covenant and second covenant. While the one made at Sinai is called the first covenant, it is by no means the first covenant that God ever made with man. Long before this He made a covenant with Abraham; He also made a covenant with Noah, and with Adam. Neither must it be supposed that the first covenant existed for a time as the only covenant with mankind, and that this must serve its purpose and pass away before anyone could share in the promised blessings of the new covenant. In that case, during that time there would have been no pardon for anyone. What is called the new covenant virtually existed before the covenant made at Sinai; because the covenant made with Abraham was confirmed in Christ(Gal. 3:17), and only through Christ is there any value to the new covenant. There is no blessing that can be gained by virtue of the new covenant that was not promiesed to Abraham. The second covenant existed in every essential feature, except its ratification, long before the first, even from the days of Adam. It is called second because its ratification occurred after the covenant made and ratified at Sinai. -Bible Readings for the Home p. 376

What is necessary where there is a covenant?

For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established.

Hebrews 9:16 R.V.

With whose blood was the new covenant dedicated?

And in the same way He took(JESUS) the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood. Luke 22:20

What power is there in the blodd of this covenant?

Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Heb. 13:20, 21

Through which covenant only is there remission of sins?

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our[g] conscience from dead works to serve the living God. Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant. Hebrews 9:14,15 R.V

The fact that Christ, as mediator of the second covenant, died for the remission of the transgressions that were under the first covenant show that there was no forgiveness by virtue of the first covenant. I hope you've enjoyed this as much as I have. God willing the next post will compare the two covenants. :laugh:

Excellent point:

Who can then the New Covenant been written for? Who is it given to in both the OT and the NT? Isn't the New Covenant written for the same called out "church in the wilderness" Old Covenant Hebrew nation?

I have some questions for you all now:

Is there a place in the Bible that tells of a church which has kingdom blessings in the heavenly places?

If so, what is their relationship with the church which has kingdom blessings in the earth?

I mean, are people going to heaven or not?

Most of the people here seem to be saying they are only interested in Israel's earthly blessings.

How can you have the blessings of going to heaven for eternity, but also claim to have Israel's blessings land you squarely on the earth?

Am I confused about what I am reading on this board?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Great questions sail. I'm gonna answer quick because

1) I gotta go to greet my gf...she's back in town after 3 months. ?Woohoo :laugh:

2) Going into depth in the direction you want may cause tention between what I believe and what some people believe about promises only ascribed to jews and those to us as the church. (I've seen some folks get "shot down" for believe the same :blink: )

We know that when Christ returns it is to take his bride back to his home in Heaven. As you know, we'll be there for a thousand years of judging and then new Jerusalem comes back to the new earth for us all to reign with him. It's covered in this study.

1000 Year Reign :laugh: Good nite. :blink:

The old and New covenants compared

Happy Sabbath all :) ,

Thus far I've discussed the old and New covenants to the best of my ability(remember i'm a student so i can learn just like everyone else :( ) Now I want to compare the two covenants and see if we can agree that they are just the same covenants except one has better promises.(not taking away from the fact that the 10 commandments still point us to our Savior).

Under the Old covenant, what did the people promise?

And 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 hath said will we do. Exodus 24:3

Under the new covenant, what does God promise to do?

"I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts." Hebrews9:10

The new covenant is an arrangement for bringing man again into harmony with the divine willl, and placing him where he can keep God's law through the enabling power of God. The dissolution of the old covenant and the making of the new in no way abrogated the LAW OF GOD. :)

Where was God's law written under the new covenant?

Most of us know the answer to this but sticking with the format here it is:

"And I(Moses) made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand. And he(God) wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me. Deuteronomy 10:3,4

Where is the law of God written under the new covenant?

"But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people." Jeremiah 31:33

What reason is given for making the new covenant?

For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:" Hebrews 8:7,8

The main reason why the old covenant failed was because of the people. They were not able, in themselves, to fulfill their part of it.

What unites all believers under the new covenant?

Wherefore remember, that ye 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; That at that time ye 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: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. Ephesians 2:11-13

SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE TWO COVENANTS

1. Both are called covenants.(duh) :24:

2. Both were ratified with blood.

3. Both were made concerning the law of God.

4. Both were made with the people of God.

5. Both were established upon promises.

DISSIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE TWO COVENANTS

Old covenant

Called the old covenant

Called the first covenant

A temporary compact.

Dedicated with the blood of animals.

Was faulty

Was established upon the promises of the people.

Had no mediator.

Had no provision for the forgiveness of sins

Under this, the law was written on tables of stone.

New Covenant

Called the new covenant

Called the second covenant

An everlasting covenant.

Ratified with the blood of Christ.

Is a better covenant.

Is established upon the promises of God(Amen :24: )

Has a mediator.

Has provision for the forgivness of sins.

Under this, the law(10 commandments) is written in the heart.

I hope that this "study" was as enjoyable for you as it was for me. :( God's covenant is everlasting and all have to do is accept the gift of His Son's sacrifice and then we won't have to worry about follow any part of the law because it will be manifested in our lives through the power of the HS. God bless and Good nite :24:
