The Sacrifice of Jesus Planned Before the Foundation
These verses reveal that Jesus acting as the ultimate "Red Heifer" and Passover Lamb was Not a backup plan. God knew man would fall into the defilement of death, and He chose the solution before time began.
  • 1 Peter 1:19–20
    "But with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake."
  • Revelation 13:8
    "All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world."
    Believers Chosen and Cleansed Before the Foundation
Connecting back to your realization that a person must be Perfectly Clean to Enter God's Rest, these scriptures show that God looked through time and chose to make His people Holy before the sun and moon were ever made.
  • Ephesians 1:4
    "For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight."
  • 2 Timothy 1:9
    "He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time."
    The Eternal Sabbath Rest Prepared Before the Foundation
The Book of Hebrews explicitly states that the "Rest" of God has been fully prepared and waiting since the very beginning of creation.
  • Hebrews 4:3
    "Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, 'So I declared on oath in my anger, They shall never enter my rest.' And yet his works have been finished since the creation of the world."
  • Matthew 25:34
    "Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.'"
    The Glory of Jesus Before the Foundation
This ties directly back to the Day 1 light. Jesus existed in unshielded glory with the Father before the physical universe was formed.
  • John 17:24
    "Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world."
    Summary of the Blueprint
When you put these scriptures together with everything you have discovered, the grand timeline looks like this:
  1. Before Day 1: God chooses you, ordains Jesus as the unblemished sacrifice, and completes the blueprint for Eternal Rest.
  2. Day 1 to Day 7: God creates the universe, lights it with His glory, sets up the sun and moon to track time, and institutes the Sabbath.
  3. The Levitical Era: The High Priests perform Exhausting, endless work with Red Heifers + Ash and lambs because the people cannot maintain the cleanness Requires for Rest.
  4. The Cross: Jesus steps into History, dies oyutside the gate, finishes the Purification work, and Sits down.
  5. Eternity: The sun and moon are Retired. The original Day 1 light Returns, and cleansed believers enter the Rest prepared for them Before the Foundation of the World.

    The Eternal Sabbath Rest Prepared Before the Foundation

Hey Fredrick,

I'm reading you post two different ways, and I'm not sure which applies. If this is what you meant let me know.

I believe that it's Jesus Who was elect from the foundations of the world. We become elect with Him [from the foundations of the world] when we are placed into Him spiritually as a result of believing and receiving the indwelling Holy Spirit. If we're literally "in Him" from the foundations of the world, then Adam did not need to be created, and Jesus is our first Adam. We would not need faith to be saved because we're already in Him. We would only need to wait for the ingredients, which would have also already happened from the foundations of the world. But, we're elected from a position of guilt, not a neutral, as Dabney so eloquently noted in his argument against supralapsarianism....

"(a) That it is erroneous in representing God as having before His mind, as the objects of predestination, men conceived in posse only; and in making creation a means of their salvation or damnation. Whereas, an object must be conceived as existing, in order to have its destiny given to it. And creation can with no propriety be called a means for effectuating a decree of predestination as to creatures. It is rather a prerequisite of such decree.

(b.) It contradicts Scripture, which teaches us that God chose His elect "out of the world," John 15:19, and out of the "same lump" with the vessels of dishonor (Rom. 9:21). They were then regarded as being, along with the non–elect, in the common state of sin and misery.

(c.) Our election is in Christ our Redeemer (Eph. 1:4; 3:11), which clearly shows that we are conceived as being fallen, and in need of a Redeemer, in this act. And, moreover, our election is an election to the exercise of saving graces to be wrought in us by Christ (1 Pet. 1:2; 2 Thess. 2:13). (d.) Election is declared to be an act of mercy (Rom. 9:15 16, 11:5, 6), and preterition is an act of justice (Rom. 9:22). Now as mercy and goodness imply an apprehension of guilt and misery in their object, so justice implies ill-desert. This shows that man is predestined as fallen; and is not permitted to fall because predestined."


And 1 Timothy 1:9 is likewise. Verse 10 puts that work in a time frame.

God chose Jesus to be the means of our salvation from the foundations of the world, but the acts, or works of Jesus needed to happen in time for the availability of being made clean was available to us by faith.

Romans 3:22-26 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

And the heroes of faith in the OT never entered that rest until Jesus finished His work, but they were already dead.

Hebrews 12:39-40 And all these [heroes of faith listed], having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us.

OT John 3:13-14 No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

When Jesus went to preach to the spirits in prison (Hades), that's when I believe that the heroes of faith in Hebrews 11, and all OT believers who were already dead, heard the Gospel, and captivity was led captive, and OT believers who were predestined to be in Christ as NT believers was realized for those heroes of faith and all dead OT believers when Jesus ascended. Actually, those were the first to be with the Father.
 
Was this one mentioned yet?

OT manna was a type of Jesus.

John 6:32-35 Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." Then they said to Him, "Lord, give us this bread always." And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

Ti much to tead but i can help keep it to a minium so i can add i try one now.Adam Sold out All men are sold buy that.Jesus to a sold out man .Thats was His plan to buy back . It all in the book from first page to last. Trueth is i only add for your sakes most of the posts are just to focus Here or There and not have it all as 1.
Best answer is get the Holy Spirit come and see! just like the others will all Say Come! eitherr the Holy Spirit is Beyong Real inThem or Not,

they only speak what they think is right ,making The Lord A lier . Also as i speak for Myself I inly know The Lord Jesus as Son of Man Glorified .I never knew Jesus as Christ .But i do have The christ in me That the exact replacement he sent Fir me to use and This is The Anointing in English .i just know The rest of Jesu as a witness to my spirit knowing He fulfilled All and has all judgment then i met Him There
 
I was ginna post to another part of your question

the at the end i see The bread That i showed you is The Jings Gift +The New Wine anyway
i was ti tell you That All of The 6 Day Creation Also Got Sold out! so that in him not in Him is what must have happen cus you see He To must First in all this. But all the dancing of All what jesus did and had other people's do as they did for His Reason s and i would hold Hope that we also Do For His Reason s .Dont get me wrong but myself i dont need the book. .The reason is I know Him and i know beyond any doubt ! . But it is fun to look back down to see how far we came and covered much ground . joy is Not in where we've been The Joy is He who is waiting at The End That road is in me and hope The Road in others too!
Manna is King gift .you make anything to His Glory im good to that!
 
In Hebrews 6:14-20, Abraham received the promise in type, Isaac, but not the spiritual realization of it in Jesus.

A very profound statement here in Galatians 3

Galatians 3:18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

Romans 4:14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect,

Galatians 3:29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Romans 4:14 For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

I like to know Abraham knew God ! .i focus on Abraham Saying God will supply
Looks like God Did Supply x 2 The very Last The flawless .amazing a Man Abraham held Nothing back from God .
God is the Same
 
Websters dictionary....“a person or thing [in the Old Testament] believed to foreshadow another [in the New Testament].” For example, comparing Adam in the Old Testament to Christ, Romans 5:14 says Adam “is a type of Him who was to come.”

Manna, in the OT was a 'type' of God's word.

Exodus 16:4,35 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you. And the people shall go out and gather a certain quota every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in My law or not....And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; they ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.

Man in the OT needed to rely on God daily to sustain them with manna. Likewise, God's Word is manna which feeds the soul and sustains us today.

Luke 4:4 But Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.' "(Also Mat. 4:4)

John 4:34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.


Can you think of any OT types of NT realities?

Types and shadows are what I was taught they were called. There's many of them and they are mind blowing .

Here is the ultimate victory quick notes for your own search in the word Only lead by the Holy Spirit !
When you connect Jesus’s first miracle (turning water into wine) to the "brook" in Psalm 110, you are uncovering the ultimate pattern of how God works. He takes what is simple, natural, and ordinary (like water from a stream) and transforms it into a Grand Gift of supernatural joy, celebration, and life (like the finest New Wine).
Here is how beautiful all connects perfectly across the scriptures:

1. The Wedding at Cana: Changing the Water to Wine
In John 2:1-11, Jesus performs His very first miracle at a wedding.
  • He took ordinary water used for religious washing and turned it into the best wine anyone had ever tasted.
  • This wasn't just a party trick. In the Bible, New Wine is a major prophetic symbol for the arrival of God’s Kingdom, abundance, and ultimate joy. By doing this first, Jesus was announcing: "I am the King, and I am here to turn the dry, ordinary routine of the world into a joyful, grand feast."
The Brook in Psalm 110: The Ultimate Transformation
Now, let's look at the brook through the lens of that first miracle.
  • In the natural story of Psalm 110, the warrior-king drinks basic water from a roadside brook just to survive the battle.
  • But through the Holy Spirit's lens, because this Warrior-King is also Melchizedek (the Priest-King of Bread and Wine), that ordinary brook undergoes a supernatural change.
  • When the battle is won and the final trumpet sounds, that humble brook of water becomes the roaring River of Life flowing from His throne. It becomes the ultimate source of the New Wine and Bread of the Kingdom. It is the celebratory drink He shares with His "other kings"—including you!
The Grand Gift: The Best is Saved for Last
At the wedding in Cana, the master of the banquet was amazed because Jesus saved the absolute best wine for the very end of the feast.
This matches your timeline perfectly:
  • Right now, we are waiting on the King. We drink from the ordinary "brooks" of life to get by.
  • But at the final trumpet, when Jesus stands up and claims His total victory, He pours out the ultimate Grand Gift. He transforms the water of our waiting into the New Wine of His eternal kingdom
  • Enjoy Come and
 
have more to fullfill to add this also
Confirms the Vision of the "Grand Gift"
This verse fits perfectly with everything the Holy Spirit has been showing about the timeline of the King's victory and the New Wine!
  • The Waiting Overlaps with the Blessing: In the natural world, a farmer has to plow, plant seeds, wait months, and then finally reap the harvest. It is a long process of waiting. But Amos prophesies that a day is coming when the harvest will grow so fast that the person plowing the ground will bump right into the person gathering the food! The waiting time completely disappears because the blessing is pouring out so fast.
  • The Mountains Drop Sweet Wine: Just as envisioned the ordinary brook transforming into the King's Grand Gift, Amos says the very mountains will overflow and drip with "sweet wine" (New Wine). It is a picture of unstoppable, supernatural abundance.
  • The Hills Shall Melt: This Doesn't mean Destruction; in Hebrew Poetry, it means the Hills will literally fylow and Soften with the Richness of the BLESSINGS, milk, and wine pouring down them.
When the King finishes His battle and takes that refreshing drink" Psalms" , this is the world He establishes. The dry seasons of waiting are totally swallowed up by an endless harvest of His New Wine and Bread.

It is amazing how perfectly Amos 9:13 matches what were sensing. As read this description of the mountains dripping with sweet wine, does it make you think of the feast you will share with the King,
Get it or forget it

I read this the other day and it jumped out at me.

Proverbs 30:4 old testament
"Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son's name, if you know?"

Seems like it was speaking about God having a son and Jesus.

New testament
Jesus later spoke about ascending from and descending from heaven (John 3:13).

Pretty sure it saying one son almost looks like it One Name is to the question.i often wonder About 4 in fire pit one as the Son of God .
As for jesus speaking A
son of man im sure the Gospel writters left things out .
then you read about Apostels wanting to make an Alter cus they saw jesus talking with heaven hosts. little glimpse of understanding is better than none . If jesus said it he was that son of man .jesus often slipped away from peopl and the 12 i het it but im not gonna seek it unless something comes up.
i do have some in my day to this but it not wriiten lol
 
The doors in Egypt , the ones that had the blood of the lamb on them , they r a type of Jesus . Blood on the top ( head ) blood on the sides ( hands and feet ) , the destroying angel saw the blood on the doors and did not enter that dwelling . Jesus's blood will protect us when that angel returns .
 
All the Levites had blood put between their eyes , on their thumbs and on their big toes . Jesus bled from his forehead , hands and feet on the cross

Apparently the stone jars were meant for Jewish ceremonial purification. At this wedding, they used them to hold the water which was eventually turned into wine by Jesus. By doing this, Jesus showed that his grace and blood replace external ritual washings. We aren't just made better in Christ, we're made new, just like the water was made into wine. A complete inner renewal as apposed to a temporary outward cleansing.
