You will be amazed, when you begin to get a handle on the law.
You will even be enraptured.
When you find out,
All the things the Christians wonder and bicker about,
and debate with each other in heated debates in the judgment,
are all plainly explained in the law.
No more guessing. No more wondering.
Just delightful things to do.
Just some of the things you will discover, in no particular order.
What God requires of us.
The blood of Jesus. What it is. How to obtain it.
The atonement. How to obtain it.
The washing, which is to be done after Jesus washes us.
The second coming. How it will come to pass.
The promised land, the kingdom of God, and how to become established in it.
Offerings and oblations. How to bring them to God, and how to do them for our fellowmen.
Power over devils. How to identify them, and how to cast them out.
I'll offer up a little scripture study now,
this is especially for those that are born again in Jesus.
If you haven't had that experience, this may be of interest, or you might not be able to relate.
It would be worth noting. for when Jesus does come.
I hope to prepare others that they be better prepared than I was.
I'll begin in the New Testament to show, that though this is a teaching of law,
the fact we have it confirmed in the New Testament shows that it still applies.
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness,
and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth.
Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood,
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father;
to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 1:5-6
A beautiful passage, you have to agree.
But I want to draw your attention to two things in those two verses.
Washed us from our sins in His own blood, and hath made us priests.
Yes, I know He says, kings and priests unto God, but for the next passage coming up,
remember He said I will make you a priest.
And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed:
and, behold, if the plague have not changed his colour, and the plague be not spread;
it is unclean;
thou shalt burn it in the fire;
it is fret inward, whether it be bare within or without.
And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be somewhat dark after the washing of it;
then he shall rend it out of the garment,
or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:
And if it appear still in the garment,
either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;
it is a spreading plague:
thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire.
And the garment,
either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be,
which thou shalt wash,
if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time,
and shall be clean.
Leviticus 13:55-58
So, from the verse in Revelation, we know who the priest is, that is us.
And we are instructed to look upon our garments, after it is washed.
And Revelation told us Jesus washed us, and I know many of you have experienced it.
But you probably weren't informed by fellow believers to examine your garments.
I know I wasn't.
Now garments probably needs some explanation.
Either warp or woof or whatever thing of skin it be.
Well, it is whatever Jesus washed, for a start.
Mostly we say He washed our heart.
The phrase, "whatever thing of skin it be", kind of answers it for me.
We can't really know what it is, but it is the garment of our soul, or our inward parts.
When we say our heart, we don't really mean our fleshy muscle, do we.
Our aura, or mantle, also works for me.
OK, hopefully you are still following.
Did you check your garments, after Jesus washed you?
It took me a little while to find this law, but whence I did,
then I undertook to wash my robes.
So I looked, and even though Jesus had washed me, it was still somewhat dark.
You know, I felt so delivered, so happy, so renewed, after Jesus washed me,
I didn't even think to look.
But then, after coming across that scripture, then I did look,
and there were still some dark thoughts in me.
And I still, through habit, kept some falsehoods.
I couldn't identify them all yet, but some stuck out, so I knew there must be more.
I got to work burning them out.
Some took a fair bit of groaning in the spirit in order to rip them free.
And the more you wash, the more spot you see, the more you find to wash.
Hence the need for second cleaning, and maybe a third and fourth.
Every non Jesus saying had to come out.
Any little "but" against keeping any law, and any word of God, must go.
There are a few sabbaths necessary, to commune with Lord,
to help you get your cleaning done right and complete.
Now we can go back to Revelation, to see what we have done.
And one of the elders answered, saying unto me,
What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me,
These are they which came out of great tribulation,
and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Revelation 7:14
Again, the New Testament, for me at least, is confirming the need to do the law,
if we want to be among the white robes that is.
The washing is a commandment in the law, for we priests unto God to do,
after Jesus has washed us.
Now as if this wasn't surprise enough for me,
I found a really surprising description of what Jesus done, in the day that He washed us,
in Judges, of all places.
So don't think people didn't get born again by Jesus before He came as man, or before He died on the cross.
Abraham saw His day, and so did many others.
It is described in the Old Testament better than it is described anywhere else.
Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them,
even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know,
to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;
Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites,
and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon,
from mount Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
And they were to prove Israel by them,
to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD,
which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
Judges 3:1-4
You may have to try a bit here, the Lord is kind of speaking in tongues to us.
I'll put NT equivalent terminology to help.
Try also to see it in context with the whole story of His people.
He has just brought them out of Egypt, and they are in the new land.
So we are Israel (child of God), and the Lord (Jesus) left some nations (spirits) in us,
after He brought us to the kingdom of God.
So that we might learn war (but not as we knew war before).
This war is the period of washing, after the Lord delivered us from the main nations (devils),
which were preventing us occupying the new land (heaven).
But now we are in heaven, doing the commandments of that new land.
Washing the plagues out of our garment is one analogy,
driving evil tribes and wicked Lords out from within is another analogy for the same thing.
A period of cleansing.
You see, this is another thing that many Christians don't realize, don't teach.
Jesus talks about casting out devils or evil spirits,
but in the Old Testament Jesus goes into great depth on the subject.
Jesus didn't have to say much about the subject when He came as a man, because it was already covered,
and He knows His faithful followers will get to it, when they go to do His law.
And why does Jesus leave some devils in us?
To try us.
It is very clearly stated.
To know if we will keep the law that came by Moses, or not.
For a lot of people are insincere, but He delivers them from their main devils anyway, if they ask.
But if they are half-hearted, it doesn't take long for the relatively harmless ones He left to go get their mates,
and before you know, whole tribes are coming in through the gates of Hamath.
But those that go on to keep the laws of Moses, go on to clean all those Canaanites out of the land.
And have the pleasure of slaying those five Philistine Lords.
And yes, you can go into the terms used here, which are also revealing.
The devils enter in at Hamath, which makes Hamath the gate of our garments,
or the gate to the land that is us.
Mount Baal-hermon is the peak of evil in us.
But they are all over Mount Lebanon too, which you should have figured by now,
from other uses of the terms Mount Lebanon, and Cedars of Lebanon,
is the holy mountain in us.
It doesn't take much to decipher when you try.
And indeed, we are Israel,
the Lord has given us a great land,
and Jesus, seed of David, is our Lord and shepherd.
And He feeds us.
Thank God
I don't mind questions,
or you can try to kill my bullocks. I don't mind.
