Hi Just-me,

I was just looking at passages today on this very subject.

Deuteronomy 29:1 These 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.
Deuteronomy 29:2 And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;
Deuteronomy 29:3 The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:
Deuteronomy 29:4 Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
Deuteronomy 29:5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.

That passage is very interesting, as Moses tells the people that they have seen all these wonders, and yet the Lord had not given the eyes to see and ears to hear or a heart to perceive.

Ezekiel 12:1 The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel 12:2 Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.
Ezekiel 12:3 Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house.

Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
Revelation 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Psalms 44:1 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
Psalms 44:2 How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.
Psalms 44:3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.

John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Some other great passages found throughout the bible:

Psalms 95:7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
Psalms 95:8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
Psalms 95:9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
Psalms 95:10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

John 10:3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
John 10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

[SUP]8 [/SUP]Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
[SUP]9 [/SUP]When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

Excellent comparisons between the Old Testament and the New Testament. It is more proof that our God of creation is the same as in the days of old.

Malachi 3:6 (KJV)
[SUP]6 [/SUP]For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

1 Corinthians 10:1-5 (KJV)
[SUP]1 [/SUP]Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
[SUP]2 [/SUP]And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
[SUP]3 [/SUP]And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
[SUP]4 [/SUP]And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

1 Corinthians 10:9-12 (KJV)
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

The following is a clear picture as to why Jesus Christ had a major problem with the Pharisees in respect to their religion that was skewed, not only in their distorted interpretation of the law, but also using the writings of truth for the purpose of self elevation. These two major distortions presented our living God, and Father of Christ Jesus, as non-definitive, without mercy, and unloving. Human nature is always vulnerable to the temptation of making God after the image that we prefer, rather than representing Him in Spirit and in truth. That’s why prayer and Bible study are so important for us to be sincere in all we do, and say, to properly represent our Lord and Savior.

Matthew 15:1-9 (KJV)
[SUP]1 [/SUP]Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
[SUP]2 [/SUP]Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
[SUP]4 [/SUP]For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
[SUP]6 [/SUP]And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
[SUP]8 [/SUP]This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Isaiah 29:13-16 (KJV)
[SUP]13 [/SUP]Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
[SUP]14 [/SUP]Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
[SUP]16 [/SUP]Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?

What the Pharisees had done was make a distorted law so that assets rightfully due to the parents would be used elsewhere, thereby freeing the children of any obligation of honor and respect to their parents. This distorted law also negated the promise of God toward the children.

Exodus 20:12 (KJV)
[SUP]12 [/SUP]Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Deuteronomy 5:16 (KJV)
[SUP]16 [/SUP]Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Curseth in Hebrew=to make light of the parents position in the family, and purposefully not abiding by the concerns and rules of the household.

Exodus 21:17 (KJV)
[SUP]17 [/SUP]And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
Leviticus 20:9 (KJV)
[SUP]9 [/SUP]For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.

Great comparisons!

Especially the example of how the Pharisees kept their own traditions making the commandments of God to none effect.

It brought to mind these passages.

Ephesians 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
Ephesians 6:2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
Ephesians 6:3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Romans 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Romans 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Romans 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Romans 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

As I was posting before you made these scriptures come alive, I happened upon some Proverbs. Even though I didn't post them before, they have been on my mind all afternoon. I knew there was a reason for that, and I didn't know then, but now I do. May God bless you.... Big time! That's a Tennessee phrase.

Proverbs 20:20 (KJV)
[SUP]20 [/SUP]Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.

Proverbs 30:11-14 (KJV)
[SUP]11 [/SUP]There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.

There have been several generations through history like this as described by Solomon and we are living another one of these today.

No one today wrote these scriptures of truth. Consider
Hebrews 9:15-18 (KJV)
[SUP]15 [/SUP]And 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.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.

No one can destroy Yeshua. Satan and mankind already tried and failed. We now have a High Priest that will never die. The scripture bears witness that the New Testament was not in effect until after the death of Christ Jesus. His words are as true today as they were then. His last will, and testament, was to fulfill all things as was planned from the very beginning.

Consider these scriptures
Colossians 1:17-20 (KJV)
[SUP]17 [/SUP]And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
[SUP]20 [/SUP]And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
John 17:4-5 (KJV)
[SUP]4 [/SUP]I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

Looks like the plan of salvation was complete, but not fulfilled yet, before God created the world. It was completed, and fulfilled when Jesus said...
John 19:30 (KJV)
[SUP]30 [/SUP]When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

Matthew 18:15-20 (KJV)
[SUP]15 [/SUP]Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
[SUP]20 [/SUP]For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

The previous passage of the words directly from Christ Jesus should also be seen as whatever judgment we might make, or lack of judgment, will be sanctioned in heaven. Therefore, if we let things go when we should have addressed them, it will come back on us as a negative circumstance. If we address things that need to be addressed according to the standards that God requires, we will reap the benefits of righteousness.

John 7:24 (KJV)
[SUP]24 [/SUP]Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

Deuteronomy 19:15-19 (KJV) related to Matthew 18:15-20
[SUP]15 [/SUP]One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;
[SUP]17 [/SUP]Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
[SUP]18 [/SUP]And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;
[SUP]19 [/SUP]Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.

This is the law of God, and the word of Christ Jesus referring to the Mosaic law, presenting a principle of righteousness to a community, whether a neighborhood, or a church congregation.

Matthew 19:3-4 (KJV)
[SUP]3 [/SUP]The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
[SUP]4 [/SUP]And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
Direct from Hebrew to English Genesis 1:27 So God created - man in his image, in the image of God He created him: male and female, He created them.
Direct from Hebrew to English Genesis 5:2 Male and female created He them, and blessed them, and called the - name Adam, a day when they were created.

Matthew 19:5 (KJV)
[SUP]5 [/SUP]And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
Direct from Hebrew to English Genesis 2:24 The - yes, (this indicates a positive outcome of the union by the word “yes”) forsook - man the - his father, and - his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh.
Genesis 2:24 (KJV)
[SUP]24 [/SUP]Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Matthew 19:6-7 (KJV)
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (KJV)
[SUP]1 [/SUP]When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

Matthew 19:8-9 (KJV)[SUP]8 [/SUP]He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
Jeremiah 3:1 according to the Masoretic Text and the JPS 1917 Edition
If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, may he return unto her again? Will not that land be greatly polluted? But thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; and wouldest thou yet return to Me? saith the LORD.

As we can see, God asked a rhetorical question with the clear answer that “It isn’t right according to my will.” Marriage then is one of the most sacred institutions in the Bible, for it is a very clear concept of Christ and the church, God and His chosen people.

Ephesians 5:24-25 (KJV)
[SUP]24 [/SUP]Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
[SUP]25 [/SUP]Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Ephesians 5:32 (KJV)
[SUP]32 [/SUP]This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

 

[just-me]

Today, I find that I cannot keep the law in detail, as it was when God gave the law to Moses. The very reason that I can’t is because the culture today prohibits that. I am daily vexed by this conundrum. Nevertheless, I cast this vexation (in prayer) on our Lord and Savior, and ask for forgiveness for my failures. But even though I can’t keep the law of God, there is a desire to keep it; otherwise I would not have a loving heart toward my Lord Jesus Christ.

Yes we are in the world but not of it. This situation is always going to be a vexation as long as I live. Paul had the same problem if one reads the entire chapter of Romans 7. The carnal mind in keeping the law is a fallacy, as much as neglecting the law because of the carnal mind. It is with the heart, mind, soul, and strength, understanding the principles of righteousness through God’s Holy Spirit, that is imperative to please God.

Matthew 19:16-18 (KJV)
[SUP]16 [/SUP]And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
[SUP]17 [/SUP]And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal,
Exodus 20:13-15 (KJV)
[SUP]13 [/SUP]Thou shalt not kill.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]Thou shalt not commit adultery.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]Thou shalt not steal.
Deuteronomy 5:17-20 (KJV)
[SUP]17 [/SUP]Thou shalt not kill.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]Neither shalt thou steal.

Matthew 19:19 (KJV)
[SUP]19 [/SUP]Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Exodus 20:12 (KJV)
[SUP]12 [/SUP]Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Deuteronomy 5:16 (KJV)
[SUP]16 [/SUP]Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Leviticus 19:18 (KJV)
[SUP]18 [/SUP]Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.

Matthew 19:20-22 (KJV)
[SUP]20 [/SUP]The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
[SUP]21 [/SUP]Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
[SUP]22 [/SUP]But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

There is a love that involves heart, mind, soul, and strength. It is more than just obeying the commandments. If we think for a minute that we can keep any one of these attributes for our own satisfaction, we are mistaken. Unlike this man, we must never think that we can just keep the commandments in the flesh and neglect the importance of the truth with our heart. In the same way, we must never think that we don’t have to keep the commandments, because without that desire in our hearts, we fall short on the other side of the equation. Both, keeping the commandments and forsaking ourselves, are the key to loving God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength.

Matthew 21:1-8 (KJV)
[SUP]1 [/SUP]And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
[SUP]2 [/SUP]Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
[SUP]7 [/SUP]And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.

[SUP]9 [/SUP]Rejoice 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, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.


Matthew 21:9 (KJV)
[SUP]9 [/SUP]And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; **Hosanna in the highest.
Psalm 118:25-26 (KJV)
[SUP]25 [/SUP]Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
[SUP]26 [/SUP]Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

**Greek Osanna (English “Hosanna”) transliterates Hebrew Hosha na, which means, “Please! Save [us]!”

So in essence, Matthew 21:9 could read ‘please save Son of David’, “Please save us your highness”!

The 10[SUP]th[/SUP] day of the month is Palm Sunday as we celebrate it. That is the day that Jesus entered Jerusalem. 4 days later He would be crucified.

Exodus 12:3-6 (KJV)
[SUP]3 [/SUP]Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
[SUP]4 [/SUP]And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
[SUP]6 [/SUP]And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.

Isaiah 56:7 (KJV)
[SUP]7 [/SUP]Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
Jeremiah 7:11 (KJV)
[SUP]11 [/SUP]Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD.
Matthew 21:12-13 (KJV)
[SUP]12 [/SUP]And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
[SUP]13 [/SUP]And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Now that we are the temple of God, instead of asking God to satisfy our desires, would it not be right to ask for His will to be done in our lives? We should be a body of prayer and not expect more or less than His will within this temple He has created within us

.Romans 12:1-2 (KJV)
[SUP]1 [/SUP]I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

2 Corinthians 6:16 (KJV)
[SUP]16 [/SUP]And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Ezekiel 37:26-28 (KJV)
[SUP]26 [/SUP]Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
[SUP]27 [/SUP]My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
[SUP]28 [/SUP]And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

I don’t see how some can separate Jesus, and also the epistles, from the Old Testament.

Psalm 8:1-2 (KJV)
[SUP]1 [/SUP]O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
Matthew 18:1-4 (KJV)
[SUP]1 [/SUP]At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
[SUP]2 [/SUP]And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
[SUP]3 [/SUP]And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Psalm 8:3-4 (KJV)
[SUP]3 [/SUP]When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
[SUP]4 [/SUP]What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

As an obedient child, we should esteem Christ Jesus in a very high regard. Our daily prayer should be in respect of wanting to be in God’s presence, via Jesus Christ, every moment of every day, crying out “Deliver me from evil and unto the Son of David”. He will hear, and He will deliver us. Really, He will!

Matthew 21:14-16 (KJV)
[SUP]14 [/SUP]And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, **Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased,
[SUP]16 [/SUP]And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
Matthew 21:14-16 (CJB)
14 Blind and lame people came up to him in the Temple, and he healed them.
15 But when the head cohanim and Torah-teachers saw the wonderful things he was doing, and the children crying out in the Temple, **"Please deliver us!" to the Son of David, they were furious.
16 They said to him, "Do you hear what they're saying?" Yeshua replied, "Of course! Haven't you ever read, `From the mouth of children and infants you have prepared praise for yourself'?"

A sobering thought to those ordained to be in charge of what belongs to Christ (as the vineyard in this parable.)
This is the Judgment of Jesus exacted on the people He gave to be in charge of His vineyard.

Psalm 118:22-23 (KJV)
[SUP]22 [/SUP]The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
[SUP]23 [/SUP]This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

Matthew 21:37-44 (KJV)
[SUP]37 [/SUP]But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
[SUP]38 [/SUP]But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
[SUP]39 [/SUP]And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
[SUP]40 [/SUP]When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
[SUP]41 [/SUP]They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
[SUP]42 [/SUP]Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
[SUP]43 [/SUP]Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
[SUP]44 [/SUP]And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Daniel 2:34-35 (KJV)
[SUP]34 [/SUP]Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
[SUP]35 [/SUP]Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

I dare say that the work that Jesus will do is mighty by finishing the times of the Gentiles.

Luke 21:24 (KJV)
[SUP]24 [/SUP]And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

Deuteronomy 25:5-6 (KJV)
[SUP]5 [/SUP]If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel.

Matthew 22:23-28 (KJV)
[SUP]23 [/SUP]The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
[SUP]24 [/SUP]Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
[SUP]25 [/SUP]Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:
[SUP]26 [/SUP]Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
[SUP]27 [/SUP]And last of all the woman died also.
[SUP]28 [/SUP]Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

The entire purpose of this law was for the brother of the deceased to have the heart to do what is necessary to carry on the name of his brother. Comparing this law in the physical aspect of that day, we would think that this law isn't applicable for today. In the physical aspects, it isn’t, but we need to understand the concept in a Spiritual way that would apply for today. Consider this spiritual principle presented to Nicodemus.

John 3:3b (KJV)
[SUP]3 b [/SUP]Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:5b (KJV)
[SUP]5 b [/SUP]Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Now, let’s consider incorporating this law into what Paul wrote to the church of Philippi.

Philippians 2:4 (KJV)
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

Also I want to emphasize that the wife in this law is the true church of today with our understanding of what Paul wrote to the church of Ephesus.

Ephesians 5:25 (KJV)
[SUP]25 [/SUP]Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

With these verses, we can clearly see that this law in Deuteronomy 25:5-6 has everything to do with the propagation of the Kingdom of God. This law of the Old Testament was for the chosen people Israel. Now, through Christ, this law is still in effect with the propagation of the true church family, sowing the seed of the Word to conceive newborn believers into the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

The Sadducees are a good representation of how we can misunderstand the Torah. We can quote it word for word, but totally misrepresent the Spiritual aspects and intention of God.

To understand the fullness of this scripture, here is a religious score of music written hundreds of years ago, inspired by God, and remains alive even today by the people who sing it, perform it, and arrange it. They are the brothers sowing the seed unto the church for the sake of conceiving children into the kingdom of God, according to the purpose given to the original composer of this music.

Now in this post, Jesus answers the Sadducees by properly defining the truth of this law recorded in Deuteronomy 25:5-6

Matthew 22:29-32 (KJV)
[SUP]29 [/SUP]Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
[SUP]30 [/SUP]For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
[SUP]31 [/SUP]But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
[SUP]32 [/SUP]I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

Exodus 3:6a (KJV)
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

Matthew 22:33-40 (KJV)
[SUP]33 [/SUP]And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
[SUP]34 [/SUP]But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
[SUP]35 [/SUP]Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
[SUP]36 [/SUP]Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
[SUP]37 [/SUP]Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
[SUP]38 [/SUP]This is the first and great commandment.
[SUP]39 [/SUP]And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[SUP]40 [/SUP]On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Some believe that these two commandments are New Testament only, but as we can see by the following, the understanding of a Godly love is defined in the Old Testament, not being a new commandment.

Deuteronomy 6:5 (KJV)
[SUP]5 [/SUP]And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

Leviticus 19:18b (KJV)
[SUP]18 b [/SUP]but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.

Matthew 22:41-44 (KJV)
[SUP]41 [/SUP]While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
[SUP]42 [/SUP]Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
[SUP]43 [/SUP]He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
[SUP]44 [/SUP]The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?


Psalm 110:1 (KJV)
[SUP]1 [/SUP]The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

Matthew 22:45-46 (KJV) [SUP]45 [/SUP]If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
[SUP]46 [/SUP]And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

When Jesus is said to have fulfilled the law, He was also properly teaching and defining the Spiritual truth of the law (Old Testament) as God originally intended

Great study Just-me,

Some other verses that go along with this:

1 John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1 John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
1 John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
1 John 2:7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
1 John 2:8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
1 John 2:9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
1 John 2:10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

Least… How beautifully you put this forth!
As I read what you presented, I started searching for a scripture that would exemplify your presentation. I think I found one verse that one can study to a great extent. I haven’t the time to get into it in the detail that I want to right now, but I will post my findings later. You got me goin’ gal. God bless! Big time!

Leviticus 26:10 (KJV)
[SUP]10 [/SUP]And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.

Direct from the Hebrew to the English it would read as follows; And shall eat old fashioned, and old from New Get.

What I seem to have found so far, that because of the fulfillment of Christ (the new), we are given the capability (through Him) to incorporate the old with the new, enabling us to be refreshed by the whole, from the beginning of time.

This verse then can be seen as Jesus saying that He was the water the woman at the well should deliver to her family and community. “Give Me to drink”. Food for thought.

John 4:7 (KJV)
[SUP]7 [/SUP]There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

 

[just-me]

1 John 2:7 (CJB)
7 Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command. On the contrary, it is an old command, which you have had from the beginning; the old command is the message which you have heard before.

2 John 1:5-6 (KJV)
[SUP]5 [/SUP]And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

As I have mentioned in the previous post, the following is the scripture that is very intriguing to me, so I will endeavor to explain, and define verse 7 according to the 4 dimensional Hebrew language that is the original.

Leviticus 26:9-12 (KJV)
[SUP]9 [/SUP]For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
Eat=to dine freely=the power given to be yoked and taught….
Old store=to be slack or languid (drooping and weak), stale, inveterate (firmly established by long continuance) giving, press, Holy Spirit, Pentecost (50 days after Passover), deliverance, salvation
Bring forth=causative (effective agent) to go and bring out, giving, journey of hunting, strong leader
Old=giving, press, son or seed
New=rebuild, repair, fresh new thing, divide tent wall, door, press


Now to put Leviticus 26:10 in context according to the Hebrew pictorial language it could read as follows;

The power is given to understand previously established truth that was once weak and stale, but through the effective agent of a strong leader, it is repaired as a fresh new thing.

[SUP]9 [/SUP]As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
