EASTER, EGGS, PASSOVER
AND A SUBURBAN CHEVROLET

A SUBURBAN CHEVROLET PASS OVER PASSED OVER BY A DOVE
I DON'T RECALL THE DATE, BUT ONE EASTER, IN THE EARLY 90'S WE WERE GETTING READY TO GO TO CHURCH WHEN MY DAUGHTER ELIZABETH MADE A LOUD EGGCITED CRY, “MOM!” SHE EGGSCLAIMED, “A DOVE HAS JUST LANDED ON THE ROOF OF THE SUBURBAN AND LAID AN EGG!” “NO IT DIDN’T.” I RUDELY PUT HER IN HER PLACE BEFORE I HAD EVEN LOOKED, BUT I WAS IN A HURRY. “IT DID MOM. LOOK.” I LOOKED. “IT’S A PING PONG BALL!” I QUICKLY RETORTED; AFTER ALL, WHAT BIRD WOULD JUST FLY INTO THE GARAGE BESIDE THE HOUSE, DROP AN EGG ON THE ROOF OF OUR SUBURBAN (WITHOUT IT ROLLING OFF) WHILE SHE LOOKED ON, AND PROMPTLY FLY BACK OUT, EGGSPECIALLY ON EASTER SUNDAY? IMPOSSIBLE; FURTHERMORE, WE JUST NEEDED TO HURRY UP BECAUSE I JUST KNEW THAT THIS PARTICULAR DAY GOD WAS GOING TO SHOW ME SOMETHING SPECIAL...AND I DID NOT WANT TO MISS WHATEVER "IT" WAS.
GOD HAD BEEN MAKING HIS FEASTS REALLY ALIVE TO ME. THIS SEASON WAS NOT ABOUT EASTER EGGS BUT HIS SON JESUS WHO WAS CRUCIFED AT PASSOVER, WAS DEAD, BURIED AND ROSE AGAIN. THE TRUTH OF IT HAD BEEN MADE REAL TO ME...SO COME ON KIDS, LET’S GO. BUT NO, “IT” WAS NOT AT “CHURCH”, IT WAS RIGHT IN MY OWN GARAGE, FOR WHILE ELIZABETH LOOKED ON, IT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MANY ROCK DOVES AT THE RANCH THAT HAD FLOWN INTO MY GARAGE, LAID AN EGG IN THE CRADLE OF THE ROOF RACK, AND FLOWN RIGHT BACK OUT, EVEN ON EASTER SUNDAY MORNING! WOW. ELIZABETH RUSHED OUT AND BROUGHT THE PASTEL COLORED EGG INTO THE HOUSE. WHAT COULD I SAY? IT WAS HER SPECIAL DELIVERY PASCHAL LAMB EASTER EGG, DELIVERED NOT BY A BUNNY, BUT A DOVE THAT DOVE DOWN TO THE SUBURBS OF GRANBURY, TEXAS TO OUR CHEVROLET (A FRENCH WORD FOR EAR OF WHEAT). AFTER SHE EGGSCITEDLY RAN TO RETRIEVE SAID EGG, SHE EGGSPECTANTLY RUSHED ACROSS HER ROOM WITH IT NOW SOFTLY CRADLED IN HER HANDS. ELIZABETH IS VERY TENDERHEARTED AND HER PLAN WAS TO LAY THIS EGGSTRA SPECIAL EGG IN A SAFE PLACE AND INCUBATE IT. ALAS, THOUGH BEING EGGSTRA CAREFUL TOO, SHE TRIPPED, MAYBE BECAUSE I WAS HURRYING HER, WHO KNOWS, BUT THE EGG SEEMED TO SUPERNATURALLY TAKE WINGS TO FLY OUT OF HER GRIP. AS IF IN SLOW MOTION, WE WATCHED IN HORROR AS IT SMASHED OVER THE HARDWOOD BEDROOM FLOOR. WOE, WHEN EGGS FLY! IT WAS ELIZABETH WHO THEN BROKE INTO TEARS AS HER EGG POURED OUT AT HER FEET. HER SPECIAL DELIVERY EASTER EGG GONE AND NOW HER OWN BITTER SALTY TEARS, PASSED OVER IT. THIS SEEMED VERY ANTICLIMACTIC AT THE TIME. THIS EASTER SUNDAY I HAD BEEN EGGSTRA EGGCITED TOO AS THIS WAS THE TIME THAT CHRISTIANS REMEMBERED WHEN JESUS SACRIFICED HIMSELF AS A LAMB FOR OUR SIN OFFERING. LOOKING BACK...I COULD SAY THERE WAS AN AIR OF EGGSPECTANCY, DESPITE THE FACT THAT I SEE THE HARD BOILED EGG AND CHOCOLATE EGG AS A SIGN OF AN APOSTATE CHURCH. 2 TIMOTHY 3:5, “HAVING THE FORM OF GODLINESS BUT DENYING THE POWER THEREOF. FROM SUCH TURN AWAY.” HARD BOILED EGGS AND CHOCOLATE EGGS DON'T BREAK AS JESUS WAS BROKEN WHEN HE WAS PIERCED AND HIS LIFE GIVING BLOOD AND WATER POURED OUT AS AN ETERNAL OFFERING...A BLOOD SACRIFICE FOR OUR SIN. OUR LOGIC HAS BEEN RE-VERSED. 1 CORINTHIANS 1:18, "FOR THE PREACHING OF THE CROSS IS TO THEM THAT PERISH FOOLISHNESS; BUT UNTO US WHICH ARE SAVED IT IS THE POWER OF GOD THEREOF.”
ELIZABETH, KNEW NOTHING OF THE HARD BOILED EGG OF MOURNING AND SALT THAT WAS PART OF THE REVISED PASSOVER CEREMONY THAT JEWS CELEBRATED, BUT SO MANY TRADITIONS ARE NOT IN OUR SCRIPTURES. UNTIL RECENTLY, I KNEW NOTHING OF THE ORAL TRADITIONS OF THE JEWS EITHER. EGGSPLANATIONS OF WHY AN EGG WAS ADDED TO THE JEWISH SEDER CEREMONY THAT CELEBRATES THE FIRST PASSOVER ARE MANY AND VARIED. BEING ENGLISH, I HAVE TO ASK, ISH THE EGG NOT NOW EGGSPLICITLY ASSOCIATED WITH ISHTAR, GODDESS OF FERTILITY, THE DEIFIED FIRSTBORN, NIMROD’S WIFE? IT ISH THE ISHTAR BUNNY THAT BRINGS THE EASHTER EGG ISH IT NOT? WELL, NO, NOT ALWAYS! THIS MIGHT BE THE START OF A NEW TRADITION? ROCK DOVE EGGS? TRADITIONAL NEW TRADITIONS START AT THE FIRST PASSOVER AND MORE AT THE SECOND PASSOVER, WHERE EVERY SECOND COUNTS.
EXODUS 12:1-3, “AND THE LORD SPAKE UNTO MOSES AND AARON IN THE LAND OF EGYPT, SAYING, THIS MONTH SHALL BE UNTO YOU THE BEGINNING OF MONTHS: IT SHALL BE THE FIRST MONTH OF THE YEAR TO YOU. SPEAK YE UNTO ALL THE CONGREGATION OF ISRAEL, SAYING, IN THE TENTH DAY OF THIS MONTH THEY SHALL TAKE A LAMB TO THEM, EVERY MAN A LAMB, ACCORDING TO THE HOUSE OF THEIR FATHERS, A LAMB FOR AN HOUSE." AT THAT TIME, TIME WAS RESET.
EXODUS 12:5-8, “YOUR LAMB SHALL BE WITHOUT SPOT OR BLEMISH, A MALE OF THE FIRST YEAR: YE SHALL TAKE IT OUT FROM THE SHEEP, OR FROM THE GOATS: 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. AND THEY SHALL TAKE OF THE BLOOD, AND STRIKE IT ON THE TWO SIDE POSTS AND ON THE UPPER DOOR POST OF THE HOUSES, WHEREIN THEY SHALL EAT IT. AND THEY SHALL EAT THE FLESH IN THAT NIGHT, ROAST WITH FIRE, AND UNLEAVENED BREAD; AND WITH BITTER HERBS THEY SHALL EAT IT.”
WHY? THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WERE TO REMEMBER THE TEARS OF BITTER GRIEF THAT THEY HAD SHED AS SLAVES UNDER PHARAOH. ELIZABETH DID NOT KNOW HOW MOSES HAD BROUGHT TEN DEBILITATING PLAGUES UPON EGYPT AT THE NILE SO THAT PHARAOH WOULD LET GOD’S PEOPLE GO. SHE DID NOT KNOW THAT ABOUT 2000 YEARS AGO, ANOTHER SPECIAL DELIVERY EGG FLEW FROM HEAVEN TO EARTH WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME AS A DOVE. THEN HE OVERSHADOWED THE VIRGIN MARY WHO CONCEIVED JESUS UNDER THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY. SHE DID NOT KNOW THAT AT EASTER AN EPIC EVENT IN TIME TOOK PLACE.

Y SOME CHROME AND Y CHROMOSOME
OUR OWN EASTER SUNDAY EASTER EGG LAY NESTLED ON THE ROOF OF MY SUBURBAN CHEVROLET, EVEN WITHOUT CORDS, TO TIE IT DOWN. UPON RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT ROOF IN HEBREW CAN MEAN A HOUSE ROOFTOP, OR IT CAN ALSO MEAN THE TOP OF THE ALTAR OF INCENSE, WOW, ON TOP OF WHICH WERE HORNS, THAT SHONE WITH RAYS OF LIGHT. IT COMES FROM THE ROOT WORD (H1342) GA’AH MEANING TO RISE UP, GROW UP, BE EXALTED IN TRIUMPH, BE LIFTED UP. PSALM 118:27, “GOD IS THE LORD, WHICH HATH SHOWED US LIGHT: BIND THE SACRIFICE WITH CORDS, EVEN UNTO THE HORNS OF THE ALTAR.” AT EASTER, JESUS WAS BOUND AS A SACRIFICE TO THE HORNS, HIS ARMS OUTSTRETCHED ARMS, HIS HANDS NAILED TO THE CROSS.
THE HEBREW YOD REPRESENTS THE HAND OF GOD. HE PUTS HIS HAND AND HIS FINGERPRINTS EVERYWHERE TOO. “CHROME” COMES FROM KHROMA FOR BRILLIANT COLOR AND LIGHT, AND “SOMA” MEANS BODY. THOSE CLEVER SCIENTISTS STILL RESORT TO GOD’S INCREDIBLE FINGER PRINTS AND GOD’S MIRACULOUS DNA FOR TRUE IDENTITY, WHILE DENYING HIS EXISTENCE AND HIS GENIOUS INTELLECT. THESE SIGNS ARE WROUGHT BY THE HAND OF GOD...BECAUSE WE DID NOT EVOLVE; WE ARE UNIQUELY CREATED BY A GOD THAT LOVES US...ESPECIALLY U. HIS PLAN FOR US IS A MYSTERY.
JESUS IS LIGHT, THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. NOAH RECEIVED A BRILLIANT RAINBOW OF COLORS AS A COVENANT AFTER THE JUDGMENT BROUGHT ON BY WICKED ANGELS, AND JESUS WAS SENT AS THE MAN-IFESTATION OF THAT RAINBOW OF LIGHT FOR THE NEW COVENANT, HIS OWN HEAVENLY CHROMOSOMES, TO BE GIVEN FOR MAN BEFORE THE LAST JUDGMENT THAT IS NOW AT OUR DOOR WHEN THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY WILL BE REVEALED. WE ARE BEING GIVEN OVERTIME FOR REPENTANCE; TIME FOR A TIME OUT WHILE WE HAVE TIME TO THINK. WHAT IS OUR OWN STRATEGY IN THIS STORY? WHAT IS IT THAT MATTERS MOST? TRUST ME; IT IS OUR OWN SALVATION BECAUSE OUR SPIRITS DO NOT DIE. THEY WILL LIVE ETERNALLY SOMEWHERE...AND YES, THAT IS OUR OWN PERSONAL PROBLEM TO DEAL WITH. PHILIPPIANS 2:12, " WHEREFORE MY BELOVED, AS YE HAVE ALWAYS OBEYED, NOT AS IN MY PRESENCE ONLY, BUT NOW MUCH MORE IN MY ABSENCE, WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING."
LUKE 1:69, “AND HATH RAISED UP AN HORN OF SALVATION ((G4991) SOTERIA– SALVATION, THE (ONE) BE SAVED, DELIVER, HEALTH, DELIVERANCE FROM THE MOLESTATION OF ENEMIES, IN AN ETHICAL SENSE, THAT WHICH CONCLUDES TO THE SOUL’S SAFETY OR SALVATION, OF MESSIANIC SALVATION. SALVATION AS THE PRESENT POSSESSION OF ALL TRUE CHRISTIANS, FUTURE SALVATION, THE SUM OF ALL BENEFITS WHICH THE CHRISTIANS REDEEMED FROM ALL EARTHLY ILLS, WILL ENJOY AFTER THE VISIBLE RETURN OF CHRIST FROM HEAVEN IN THE CONSUMMATED AND ETERNAL KINGDOM OF GOD) UNTO HIS PEOPLE BY THE REMISSION OF THEIR SINS.”
THE WINGS OF THE CHERUBIM OVERSHADOWED THE ARK OF THE COVENANT, EVEN AS THE HOLY SPIRIT SYMBOLIZED BY A DOVE, DOVE DOWN AND OVERSHADOWED THE VIRGIN MARY. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT MARY’S OWN EGG IN HER OWN WOMB WAS FERTILIZED WITH THE DIVINE WORD AND A SOFT LIVE EGG WAS COMPLETED WITHIN HER. HOWEVER, KEVIN ZADAI, WHO HAS A TESTIMONY THAT HE DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN , EXPLAINS THAT JESUS IS PRE-EXISTANT AND THAT MARY’S BODY RECEIVED HIM SO THAT HE WOULD BE BORN ON EARTH AND EXPERIENCE EVERYTHING THAT MAN ON EARTH EXPERIENCED. I DON'T KNOW, AND I HAVE NOT HAD A SUPERNATURAL HEAVENLY ENCOUNTER, BUT EITHER WAY, THIS IS THE ONLY DIVINE EGG TO CELEBRATE AT EASTER! THE DNA OF MARY’S DIVINE BABY WOULD FLOW WITH HOLY BLOOD TO BE SACRIFICED FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS FOR MANKIND.
THE SOFT EGG ON THE SUBURBAN HAD NOT ROLLED OFF, BECAUSE ON TOP OF THE SUBURBAN WAS A RAIL, NOW ALSO PUTTING ME IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE TOP OF THE “ALTAR OF INCENSE”. IT WAS GOLD, BUT THE SUBURBAN’S RAIL WAS SILVER, OR RATHER CHROME PLATED? Y? I DON’T KNOW Y, BUT IT WAS THE Y CHROMO-SOME FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT HAD FLOWN TO MARY IN THE MOST PERFECT MAN CHILD...EVER. NEITHER EVE NOR MARY CARRIED THE Y CHROMOSOME IN THEIR DNA, FOR IT IS ONLY CARRIED IN THE MALE SPERMATOZOA. EITHER AN X OR Y DECIDES THE SEX OF THE BABY, AND THAT DETERMINATION IS ALWAYS FROM THE FATHER. Y? I DON’T KNOW THAT EITHER. IT WAS B4 Y2K THOUGH, AND THE TIME OF HIS CRUCIFIXION LITERALLY MARKS TIME, SPECIFICALLY THE YEAR, YY OR YYYY, BC AND AD. UC? TIME WAS RESET TWICE AT PASSOVER. ONCE IN EGYPT AT THE NILE, AND AGAIN ONCE IN JERUSALEM. THE JEWS STILL ADHERE TO THEIR FIRST PASSOVER, CHRISTIANS/GENTILES ADHERE TO THE SECOND PASSOVER. THE FIRST A PATTERN OF THE SECOND TO COME, FROM WHICH EVEN SECONDS ARE MARKED IN TIME FOR A SECOND LEGAL WITNESS OF 2.
DON’T PASSOVER THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PIVOTAL POINTS IN TIME TO WHICH ALL TIME POINTS FOR JEW AND GENTILE...EVEN THOUGH IT IS PASSED OVER IN SCHOOL, PROVING A CONSPIRACY. SSHH, DON'T TALK ABOUT IT OR YOU TOO WILL BE MOCKED, RIDICULED AND MAYBE SPAT UPON BY THOSE WITH THE SAME SPIRITS THAT CRUCIFIED JESUS AND STONED THE PROPHETS. THOSE SPIRITS THAT WOULD ALSO SIDE WITH THE FALLEN ANGELS WHO BOUND THEMSELVES WITH EVIL MUTUAL IMPRECATIONS THAT WOULD EVEN BIND THE TRUTH OF THE LIVING WORD OF GOD. GOD CANNOT TELL A LIE. YES WE CAN. WE ARE NOT PERFECT. OUR MEMORIES ARE NOT PERFECT, WE MISS HEAR, MISS SEE, MISS UNDERSTAND. I AM A MISS THAT EVEN MISS REPRESENTS BY MISS TAKE...BUT GOD NEVER DOES. HE NAILS IT EVERY TIME. YET ALL OUR IMPERFECTIONS ARE NAILED TO THE STAKE BY THE PERFECT ONE. THANK YOU JESUS.
JESUS’ GENEALOGY IS TRACED TO THE FIRST MAN CREATED ON EARTH AS RECORDED IN HIS-STORY, ADAM, FROM BOTH HIS EARTHLY PARENTS ADAM AND EVE AND THEIR SON SETH. NEITHER INCLUDE CAIN OR ABEL. THIS FIRST MAN ADAM WOULD CARRY HIS SEED. ADAM PROVIDED THE Y CHROMOSOME IN EVE’S OFFSPRING. ADAM BEING A PREFIGURING OF CHRIST. ROMANS 5:12-15, “WHEREFORE, AS BY ONE MAN SIN ENTERED INTO THE WORLD, AND DEATH BY SIN; AND SO DEATH PASSED UPON ALL MEN, FOR THAT ALL HAVE SINNED: (FOR UNTIL THE LAW SIN WAS IN THE WORLD: BUT SIN IS NOT IMPUTED WHEN THERE IS NO LAW. NEVERTHELESS, DEATH REIGNED FROM ADAM TO MOSES, EVEN OVER THEM THAT HAD NOT SINNED AFTER SIMILITUDE OF ADAM’S TRANSGRESSION, WHO IS THE FIGURE OF HIM THAT WAS TO COME. BUT NOT AS THE OFFENCE, SO ALSO IS THE FREE GIFT. FOR IF THROUGH THE OFFENCE OF ONE MANY BE DEAD, MUCH MORE THE GRACE OF GOD, AND THE GIFT BY GRACE, WHICH IS BY ONE MAN, JESUS CHRIST, HATH ABOUNDED UNTO MANY.” ROMANS 5:18, “THEREFORE AS BY THE OFFENCE OF ONE JUDGMENT CAME UPON ALL MEN TO CONDEMNATION; EVEN SO BY THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF ONE THE FREE GIFT CAME UPON ALL MEN UNTO JUSTIFICATION OF LIFE.” THIS IS THE GOOD NEWS.
NOTHING IN ALL ETERNITY HAS EVER HAPPENED AS MOMENTOUS AS THE OCCASION WHEN GOD IN-CAR-NATED WITH HOLY CHROMOSOMES, INCLUDING THE MALE Y CHROMOSOME, AS THE SON OF MAN/SON OF GOD, MAN. HE THEN SHED THAT UNIQUE HOLY BLOOD 2 MILLENNIA AGO AT PASSOVER ON MOUNT MORIAH TO REDEEM THE SIN OF EVE AND DEATH THAT PASSED DOWN TO ALL OF US. HIS HOLY BLOOD WAS SHED FOR ALL, BUT ONLY SOME CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT. THOSE WHO REJECT IT WILL NEVER EVER SEE THEIR FATHER IN HEAVEN. Y? BECAUSE THIS BLOOD IS THE ONLY BLOOD THAT CAN REMOVE OUR SINS AND ALLOW US INTO HIS HOLY PRESENCE. ALL OTHER SACRIFICES ARE ONLY IMAGES, PICTURES, EVEN MO’EDS OF WHAT ONLY HIS HOLY BLOOD CAN DO. THE BETHLEHEM LAMBS CANNOT REDEEM US WITH THEIR BLOOD. IT IS FINISHED.

IN GENESIS 35:16 WE READ ABOUT RACHEL, JACOB/ISRAEL’S WIFE, “AND THEY JOURNEYED FROM BETHEL; AND THERE WAS BUT A LITTLE WAY TO COME TO EPHRATH: AND RACHEL TRAVAILED, AND SHE HAD HARD LABOUR....VS 19, “AND RACHEL DIED (GIVING BIRTH TO BENJAMIN) AND WAS BURIED IN THE WAY TO EPHRATH, WHICH IS BETHLEHEM.” SHE HAD STOLEN HER FATHER’S IDOLS AND HID THEM IN THE CAMEL’S FURNITURE, ALSO REFERRED TO AS A LAMB, MAYBE LIKE THE APOSTATE CHURCH HAS HIDDEN ITS FABLED CULTS AND CULTURES, IN THE LAMB TOO? THINGS DID NOT END WELL FOR HER.
THIS IS THE SAME BETHLEHEM THAT MARY AND JOSEPH LATER TRAVELED TO TO HAVE HER BABY. MARY WAS BETROTHED TO HER HUSBAND TO BE, ALSO NAMED JOSEPH, BUT THEY WERE NOT YET MARRIED. IT WAS JACOB’S WIFE RACHEL THAT GAVE BIRTH TO HER OWN SON JOSEPH WHO WAS LATER SOLD INTO SLAVERY IN EGYPT BY HIS JEALOUS BROTHERS. IT WAS BECAUSE OF THAT JOSEPH THAT 400 YEARS LATER ALL THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL HAD BEEN ENSLAVED BY PHARAOH. MOSES DELIVERED THEM WITH GOD'S OUTSTRETCHED ARM, PLAGUES, SIGNS AND WONDERS, STILL MEMORIALIZED TODAY AS THE FIRST PASSOVER. (THERE ARE OTHER EXAMPLES OF THE EVENT PREFIGURED.)
THIS BETHLEHEM IS THE SAME TOWN IN WHICH JESUS, THE LAMB OF GOD, WAS BORN; EVEN IN THE SHADOW OF THE MIGDAL EDER...THE TOWER OF THE FLOCK, OF THE LEVITICAL SHEPHERDS. MARY WAS THE VIRGIN MARY OF ROYAL LINEAGE. SHE WAS NOT A GODDESS, BUT A TEENAGER CARRYING A VERY SPECIAL GIFT. LUKE 1:35B, “THE HOLY GHOST SHALL COME UPON THEE, AND THE POWER OF THE HIGHEST SHALL OVERSHADOW THEE: THEREFORE ALSO THAT HOLY THING WHICH SHALL BE BORN OF THEE SHALL BE CALLED THE SON OF GOD.” JOSEPH COULD HAVE REJECTED HER AS A BRIDE, BUT AN ANGEL EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT “THAT WHICH IS CONCEIVED IN HER IS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT”. MATTHEW 1:21, “AND SHE SHALL BRING FORTH A SON, AND THOU SHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS: FOR HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS.”
THE JEWS, LIKE US, PAID DIFFERENT KINDS OF TAXES TO THE ROMANS, AND YES, WE ARE LIVING IN THE RESIDUAL DAYS OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE, AND WE STILL PAY THEIR TAXES, WITNESS THEIR EAGLE. CAESAR AUGUSTUS HAD DECREED THAT “ALL THE WORLD” SHOULD BE TAXED AT THE TIME OF JESUS’ BIRTH. THEY WERE ACCOUNTING FOR EVERYTHING OF WORTH. THAT IS WHY MARY AND JOSEPH HAD TRAVELED TO BETHLEHEM EVEN WHILE SHE WAS PREGNANT, BUT THE BABY OF GREATEST WORTH...THEIR GOVERNMENT LATER SOUGHT TO DESTROY. IT IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE EVIDENT THAT IT STILL DOES. TWO TIMES EDICTS WOULD GO OUT TO MURDER ALL BABY BOYS TWO AND UNDER. EVEN AS PHARAOH SOUGHT TO DESTROY MOSES, AND HEROD SOUGHT TO DESTROY JESUS, AND EVEN AS GOVERNMENTS TODAY SEEK TO DESTROY MOSES AND JESUS IN SCHOOLS BECAUSE THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY STILL LIVES ON TO THE DETRIMENT OF MANKIND.
IT IS RECORDED THAT NIMROD ALSO SOUGHT THE LIFE OF ABRAHAM. NIMROD, PHARAOH AND HEROD ALL SOUGHT THE WISDOM OF THEIR WISE MEN, AND ACTUALLY, THE WISE MEN NAILED IT. IT HAD ALL BEEN FORETOLD, PROPHECIED. READ WHAT GOD HAS WRITTEN. HIS STORY IS ALREADY EVEN WRITTEN IN THE SKY IN THE MAZZAROTH, MEANING A GARLAND OF CROWNS. WE KNOW IT AS THE ZODIAC, BUT WE HAVE BEEN TOLD LIES AS TO THE TRUE MEANING BEHIND THE SIGNS AND WONDERS OF THE CONSTELLATIONS. IT IS A WONDERFUL STUDY TO SEE THE CHRISTIAN INTERPRETATION. HOPEFULLY I WILL BE ADDING IT LATER. MAN FEARED ABRAHAM, MOSES AND JESUS WHO WERE DESTINED TO LIBERATE MANKIND AND TO ULTIMATELY BRING IN THE KINGDOM TO COME, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. EACH WAS HUNTED DOWN TO BE KILLED. JESUS WOULD MANIFEST AS THE SON OF GOD FROM HEAVEN TO SEED IT, LITERALLY TO BE SOWN INTO THE GROUND, AS AN EAR OF WHEAT; AND NOW NOTHING, NOTHING CAN STOP IT BECAUSE IT IS FINISHED. IT IS DONE. THE KINGDOM HAS SET SEED, AND IS GROWING IN THE EARTH. IT CANNOT BE CUT DOWN AND IT WILL GROW ETERNALLY. IT WILL SURVIVE ALL ATTACKS AND CONTINUE TO GROW UNTIL THE LORD HIMSELF COMES FOR A RIPE HARVEST OF HIS OWN SEED AT THE APPOINTED TIME. AMAIZING.
JOSEPH AND MARY LIVED IN NAZARETH AND HAD TRAVELED TO AN INN AT BETHLEHEM TO BE TAXED; NOT THE HOLIDAY INN, BUT THE HOLY DAY INN, IN BETHLEHEM IN WHICH THE MESSIAH WOULD BE BORN . IT WAS WRITTEN. IT WAS AT BETHLEHEM THAT THE PROPHET SAMUEL HAD ANOINTED JESSE’S SON DAVID TO BE KING OF ISRAEL. THESE WERE THE SAME HILLS WHERE RUTH HAD CREPT UNDER THE SKIRTS OF BOAZ TO MAKE A COVENANT WITH HIM, THE PREDECESSORS OF KING DAVID, AND JESUS. MARY HAD TO HAVE HER BABY ON THE OUTSKIRTS, THE SUBURBS, OF THE CITY OF DAVID IN THIS VERY SHEEP PASTURE IN THIS LITTLE SUBURBAN TOWN.
WHY? TO FULFILL PROPHECY. IT WAS WRITTEN. THIS WAS THE VERY CITY WHERE PROPHETICALLY THE MESSIAH WAS TO BE BORN! MICAH 5:2, “BUT THOU, BETHLEHEM EPHRATAH, THOUGH THOU BE LITTLE AMONG THOUSANDS OF JUDAH, YET OUT OF THEE SHALL HE COME FORTH UNTO ME THAT IS TO BE RULER IN ISRAEL; WHOSE GOINGS FORTH HAVE BEEN FROM OF OLD, FROM EVERLASTING.” ACCORDING TO THE OLD TESTAMENT, THE JEWISH SCRIPTURES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HIS GOINGS FORTH HAVE BEEN FROM OF OLD, EVEN FROM EVERLASTING. THIS WAS NO ORDINARY MAN CHILD. THIS WAS AN EVERLASTING LAMB CHILD, BORN TO BE SACRIFICED AS THE SON OF GOD, SON OF MAN, LAMB.
HER BABY WAS TRULY FROM GOD. MARY’S RESPONSE TO HER NEWS IS RECORDED IN LUKE 1:46-55, “MY SOUL MAGNIFIES THE LORD, AND MY SPIRIT REJOICES IN GOD MY SAVIOR, FOR HE HAS LOOKED ON THE HUMBLE ESTATE OF HIS SERVANT. FOR BEHOLD FROM NOW ON ALL GENERATIONS SHALL CALL ME BLESSED, FOR HE WHO IS MIGHTY HAS DONE GREAT THINGS FOR ME, AND HOLY IS HIS NAME. AND HIS MERCY IS FOR THOSE WHO FEAR HIM FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION. HE HAS SHOWN STRENGTH WITH HIS ARM, HE HAS SCATTERED THE PROUD IN THE THOUGHTS OF THEIR HEARTS; HE HAS BROUGHT DOWN THE MIGHTY FROM THEIR THRONES AND EXALTED THOSE OF HUMBLE ESTATE; HE HAS FILLED THE HUNGRY WITH GOOD THINGS, AND THE RICH HE HAS SENT AWAY EMPTY. HE HAS HELPED HIS SERVANT ISRAEL, IN REMEMBRANCE OF HIS MERCY, AS HE SPOKE TO OUR FATHERS, TO ABRAHAM AND TO HIS OFFSPRING FOREVER.”
IT SOUNDS TO ME AS IF THIS MARY WAS A VERY HUMBLE AND WISE WOMAN, FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, HUMILITY AND JOY. THESE ARE NOT THE WORDS OF A TROUBLED AND DISTRESSED TEENAGER LOOKING FOR A COVER UP BECAUSE SHE HAD CONCEIVED OUT OF WEDLOCK! IN THOSE DAYS, SHE COULD HAVE BEEN PUT TO DEATH BEING UNMARRIED WITH CHILD. IT WAS TO THESE SAME HILLS OF THIS TOWER, IN BETHLEHEM WHERE RACHEL HAD DIED, THAT THE ANGELS WOULD HAVE DESCENDED TO MAKE THEIR BIG ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE SHEPHERDS... THAT THE SPECIAL LAMB HAD BEEN BORN. THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY WOULD HUMBLE HIMSELF AND PRESENT HIMSELF TO MANKIND AS A LIVING SACRIFICE AS A LAMB TO COVER HUMANITY'S SINS. WOW. THE SHEPHERDS UNDERSTOOD THE SELECTION PROCESS OF THE FIRST BORN MALE LAMB AS A SIN OFFERING. THE EWES WOULD BE BROUGHT INTO THE TOWER FOR SAFE KEEPING DURING THE BIRTHING PROCESS AND MARY WAS AS ONE OF THESE EWES. THIS WAS NO ORDINARY STABLE; IT WAS A SACRED PLACE. HERE MARY AND HER BABY WOULD HAVE SHELTER AND CLEANLINESS FOR THE WORLD AWAITED SACRIFICE TO BE BORN ON EARTH. THAT IS WHY THE HERALD ANGELS SOUNDED. "GLORY TO THE NEWBORN KING." LUKE 2:1-20, "AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THOSE DAYS, THAT THERE WENT OUT A DECREE FROM CAESAR AUGUSTUS, THAT ALL THE WORLD SHOULD BE TAXED. (AND THIS TAXING WAS FIRST MADE WHEN CYRENIUS WAS GOVERNOR OF SYRIA.) AND ALL WENT TO BE TAXED, EVERY ONE INTO HIS OWN CITY. AND JOSEPH ALSO WENT UP FROM GALILEE, OUT OF THE CITY OF NAZARETH, INTO JUDAEA, UNTO THE CITY OF DAVID, WHICH IS CALLED BETHLEHEM; (BECAUSE HE WAS OF THE HOUSE AND LINEAGE OF DAVID:) TO BE TAXED WITH MARY HIS ESPOUSED WIFE, BEING GREAT WITH CHILD. AND SO IT WAS, THAT, WHILE THEY WERE THERE, THE DAYS WERE ACCOMPLISHED THAT SHE SHOULD BE DELIVERED. AND SHE BROUGHT FORTH HER FIRSTBORN SON, AND WRAPPED HIM IN SWADDLING CLOTHES, AND LAID HIM IN A MANGER; BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ROOM FOR THEM IN THE INN. AND THERE WERE IN THE SAME COUNTRY SHEPHERDS ABIDING IN THE FIELD, KEEPING WATCH OVER THEIR FLOCK BY NIGHT. AND, LO, THE ANGEL OF THE LORD CAME UPON THEM, AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD SHONE ROUND ABOUT THEM: AND THEY WERE SORE AFRAID. AND THE ANGEL SAID UNTO THEM, FEAR NOT: FOR I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN THIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH IS CHRIST THE LORD. AND THIS SHALL BE A SIGN UNTO YOU; YE SHALL FIND THE BABE WRAPPED IN SWADDLING CLOTHES, LYING IN A MANGER. AND SUDDENLY THERE WAS WITH THE ANGEL A MULTITUDE OF THE HEAVENLY HOST PRAISING GOD, AND SAYING, GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST, AND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN. AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS THE ANGELS WERE GONE AWAY FROM THEM INTO HEAVEN, THE SHEPHERDS SAID ONE TO ANOTHER, LET US NOW GO EVEN UNTO BETHLEHEM, AND SEE THIS THING WHICH IS COME TO PASS, WHICH THE LORD HAS MADE KNOWN TO US. AND THEY CAME WITH HASTE, AND FOUND MARY, AND JOSEPH, AND THE BABE LYING IN A MANGER. AND WHEN THEY HAD SEEN IT, THEY MADE KNOWN ABROAD THE SAYING WHICH WAS TOLD THEM CONCERNING THIS CHILD. AND ALL THEY THAT HEARD IT WONDERED AT THOSE THINGS WHICH WERE TOLD THEM BY THE SHEPHERDS. BUT MARY KEPT ALL THESE THINGS, AND PONDERED THEM IN HER HEART. AND THE SHEPHERDS RETURNED, GLORIFYING AND PRAISING GOD FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY HAD HEARD AND SEEN, AS IT WAS TOLD THEM."
JESUS WAS PLACED IN A MANGER AND SWADDLED, AS A LAMB, FOR SAFE KEEPING. HE WAS THE UNBLEMISHED SACRIFICE FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD. EVEN AS THE PROPHET JEREMIAH SAID IN JEREMIAH 11:19, “BUT I WAS LIKE A LAMB OR AN OX, THAT IS BROUGHT TO THE SLAUGHTER, AND I KNEW NOT THAT THEY HAD DEVISED DEVICES AGAINST ME, SAYING, LET US DESTROY THE TREE WITH THE FRUIT THEREOF, AND LET US CUT HIM OFF FROM THE LAND OF THE LIVING, THAT HIS NAME BE NO MORE REMEMBERED.” I DOUBT THAT AS A BABY JESUS KNEW HIS DESTINY EITHER, BUT I THINK THAT AS HE GREW HIS FATHER IN HEAVEN AND THE HOLY SPIRIT WOULD HAVE REVEALED EVERYTHING IN DUE TIME. MARY AND JOSEPH PRESENTED JESUS TO THE LORD BECAUSE, AS IT IS WRITTEN IN LUKE 2:23B-24, “EVERY MALE THAT OPENS THE WOMB SHALL BE CALLED HOLY TO THE LORD: AND TO OFFER A SACRIFICE ACCORDING TO THAT WHICH IS SAID IN THE LAW OF THE LORD, A PAIR OF TURTLEDOVES, OR TWO YOUNG PIGEONS.”
LUKE 2:21-22, “AND WHEN EIGHT DAYS WERE ACCOMPLISHED FOR THE CIRCUMCISING OF THE CHILD, HIS NAME WAS CALLED JESUS ((G2424) IESOUS –“JEHOVAH IS SALVATION” JOSHUA, JUSTUS, JESUS THE SON OF GOD, THE SAVIOUR OF MANKIND, GOD INCARNATE FROM THE HEBREW ORIGIN (H3091) YEHOWSHUWA – JEHOVAH SAVED) WHICH WAS SO NAMED OF THE ANGEL BEFORE HE WAS CONCEIVED IN THE WOMB. AND WHEN THE DAYS OF HER PURIFICATION ACCORDING THE THE LAW OF MOSES WERE ACCOMPLISHED, THEY BROUGHT HIM TO JERUSALEM, TO PRESENT HIM TO THE LORD;" HERE SIMEON, A JUST AND DEVOUT MAN, HAD BEEN WAITING FOR THE “CONSOLATION” OF ISRAEL, AND THE HOLY GHOST WAS UPON HIM. IT HAD BEEN REVEALED TO HIM THAT HE WOULD NOT SEE DEATH BEFORE HE HAD SEEN THE LORD’S CHRIST.
LUKE 2:34-35, “AND SIMEON BLESSED THEM, AND SAID UNTO MARY HIS MOTHER, BEHOLD, THIS CHILD IS SET FOR THE FALL AND RISING AGAIN OF MANY IN ISRAEL: AND FOR A SIGN WHICH SHALL BE SPOKEN AGAINST; (YEA, A SWORD SHALL PIERCE THROUGH THY OWN SOUL ALSO,) THAT THE THOUGHTS OF MANY HEARTS MAY BE REVEALED.” HE TOOK JESUS IN HIS ARMS AND ACCORDING TO LUKE 2:29-32, HE SAID, “LORD, NOW LETTEST THOU THY SERVANT DEPART IN PEACE, ACCORDING TO THY WORD. FOR MY EYES HAVE SEEN THY SALVATION, WHICH THOU HAST PREPARED BEFORE THE FACE OF ALL PEOPLE; A LIGHT TO LIGHTEN THE GENTILES, AND THE GLORY OF THY PEOPLE ISRAEL.”
THIS IS THE SAME BETHLEHEM THAT MARY AND JOSEPH LATER TRAVELED TO TO HAVE HER BABY. MARY WAS BETROTHED TO HER HUSBAND TO BE, ALSO NAMED JOSEPH, BUT THEY WERE NOT YET MARRIED. IT WAS JACOB’S WIFE RACHEL THAT GAVE BIRTH TO HER OWN SON JOSEPH WHO WAS LATER SOLD INTO SLAVERY IN EGYPT BY HIS JEALOUS BROTHERS. IT WAS BECAUSE OF THAT JOSEPH THAT 400 YEARS LATER ALL THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL HAD BEEN ENSLAVED BY PHARAOH. MOSES DELIVERED THEM WITH GOD'S OUTSTRETCHED ARM, PLAGUES, SIGNS AND WONDERS, STILL MEMORIALIZED TODAY AS THE FIRST PASSOVER. (THERE ARE OTHER EXAMPLES OF THE EVENT PREFIGURED.)
THIS BETHLEHEM IS THE SAME TOWN IN WHICH JESUS, THE LAMB OF GOD, WAS BORN; EVEN IN THE SHADOW OF THE MIGDAL EDER...THE TOWER OF THE FLOCK, OF THE LEVITICAL SHEPHERDS. MARY WAS THE VIRGIN MARY OF ROYAL LINEAGE. SHE WAS NOT A GODDESS, BUT A TEENAGER CARRYING A VERY SPECIAL GIFT. LUKE 1:35B, “THE HOLY GHOST SHALL COME UPON THEE, AND THE POWER OF THE HIGHEST SHALL OVERSHADOW THEE: THEREFORE ALSO THAT HOLY THING WHICH SHALL BE BORN OF THEE SHALL BE CALLED THE SON OF GOD.” JOSEPH COULD HAVE REJECTED HER AS A BRIDE, BUT AN ANGEL EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT “THAT WHICH IS CONCEIVED IN HER IS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT”. MATTHEW 1:21, “AND SHE SHALL BRING FORTH A SON, AND THOU SHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS: FOR HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS.”
THE JEWS, LIKE US, PAID DIFFERENT KINDS OF TAXES TO THE ROMANS, AND YES, WE ARE LIVING IN THE RESIDUAL DAYS OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE, AND WE STILL PAY THEIR TAXES, WITNESS THEIR EAGLE. CAESAR AUGUSTUS HAD DECREED THAT “ALL THE WORLD” SHOULD BE TAXED AT THE TIME OF JESUS’ BIRTH. THEY WERE ACCOUNTING FOR EVERYTHING OF WORTH. THAT IS WHY MARY AND JOSEPH HAD TRAVELED TO BETHLEHEM EVEN WHILE SHE WAS PREGNANT, BUT THE BABY OF GREATEST WORTH...THEIR GOVERNMENT LATER SOUGHT TO DESTROY. IT IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE EVIDENT THAT IT STILL DOES. TWO TIMES EDICTS WOULD GO OUT TO MURDER ALL BABY BOYS TWO AND UNDER. EVEN AS PHARAOH SOUGHT TO DESTROY MOSES, AND HEROD SOUGHT TO DESTROY JESUS, AND EVEN AS GOVERNMENTS TODAY SEEK TO DESTROY MOSES AND JESUS IN SCHOOLS BECAUSE THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY STILL LIVES ON TO THE DETRIMENT OF MANKIND.
IT IS RECORDED THAT NIMROD ALSO SOUGHT THE LIFE OF ABRAHAM. NIMROD, PHARAOH AND HEROD ALL SOUGHT THE WISDOM OF THEIR WISE MEN, AND ACTUALLY, THE WISE MEN NAILED IT. IT HAD ALL BEEN FORETOLD, PROPHECIED. READ WHAT GOD HAS WRITTEN. HIS STORY IS ALREADY EVEN WRITTEN IN THE SKY IN THE MAZZAROTH, MEANING A GARLAND OF CROWNS. WE KNOW IT AS THE ZODIAC, BUT WE HAVE BEEN TOLD LIES AS TO THE TRUE MEANING BEHIND THE SIGNS AND WONDERS OF THE CONSTELLATIONS. IT IS A WONDERFUL STUDY TO SEE THE CHRISTIAN INTERPRETATION. HOPEFULLY I WILL BE ADDING IT LATER. MAN FEARED ABRAHAM, MOSES AND JESUS WHO WERE DESTINED TO LIBERATE MANKIND AND TO ULTIMATELY BRING IN THE KINGDOM TO COME, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. EACH WAS HUNTED DOWN TO BE KILLED. JESUS WOULD MANIFEST AS THE SON OF GOD FROM HEAVEN TO SEED IT, LITERALLY TO BE SOWN INTO THE GROUND, AS AN EAR OF WHEAT; AND NOW NOTHING, NOTHING CAN STOP IT BECAUSE IT IS FINISHED. IT IS DONE. THE KINGDOM HAS SET SEED, AND IS GROWING IN THE EARTH. IT CANNOT BE CUT DOWN AND IT WILL GROW ETERNALLY. IT WILL SURVIVE ALL ATTACKS AND CONTINUE TO GROW UNTIL THE LORD HIMSELF COMES FOR A RIPE HARVEST OF HIS OWN SEED AT THE APPOINTED TIME. AMAIZING.
JOSEPH AND MARY LIVED IN NAZARETH AND HAD TRAVELED TO AN INN AT BETHLEHEM TO BE TAXED; NOT THE HOLIDAY INN, BUT THE HOLY DAY INN, IN BETHLEHEM IN WHICH THE MESSIAH WOULD BE BORN . IT WAS WRITTEN. IT WAS AT BETHLEHEM THAT THE PROPHET SAMUEL HAD ANOINTED JESSE’S SON DAVID TO BE KING OF ISRAEL. THESE WERE THE SAME HILLS WHERE RUTH HAD CREPT UNDER THE SKIRTS OF BOAZ TO MAKE A COVENANT WITH HIM, THE PREDECESSORS OF KING DAVID, AND JESUS. MARY HAD TO HAVE HER BABY ON THE OUTSKIRTS, THE SUBURBS, OF THE CITY OF DAVID IN THIS VERY SHEEP PASTURE IN THIS LITTLE SUBURBAN TOWN.
WHY? TO FULFILL PROPHECY. IT WAS WRITTEN. THIS WAS THE VERY CITY WHERE PROPHETICALLY THE MESSIAH WAS TO BE BORN! MICAH 5:2, “BUT THOU, BETHLEHEM EPHRATAH, THOUGH THOU BE LITTLE AMONG THOUSANDS OF JUDAH, YET OUT OF THEE SHALL HE COME FORTH UNTO ME THAT IS TO BE RULER IN ISRAEL; WHOSE GOINGS FORTH HAVE BEEN FROM OF OLD, FROM EVERLASTING.” ACCORDING TO THE OLD TESTAMENT, THE JEWISH SCRIPTURES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HIS GOINGS FORTH HAVE BEEN FROM OF OLD, EVEN FROM EVERLASTING. THIS WAS NO ORDINARY MAN CHILD. THIS WAS AN EVERLASTING LAMB CHILD, BORN TO BE SACRIFICED AS THE SON OF GOD, SON OF MAN, LAMB.
HER BABY WAS TRULY FROM GOD. MARY’S RESPONSE TO HER NEWS IS RECORDED IN LUKE 1:46-55, “MY SOUL MAGNIFIES THE LORD, AND MY SPIRIT REJOICES IN GOD MY SAVIOR, FOR HE HAS LOOKED ON THE HUMBLE ESTATE OF HIS SERVANT. FOR BEHOLD FROM NOW ON ALL GENERATIONS SHALL CALL ME BLESSED, FOR HE WHO IS MIGHTY HAS DONE GREAT THINGS FOR ME, AND HOLY IS HIS NAME. AND HIS MERCY IS FOR THOSE WHO FEAR HIM FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION. HE HAS SHOWN STRENGTH WITH HIS ARM, HE HAS SCATTERED THE PROUD IN THE THOUGHTS OF THEIR HEARTS; HE HAS BROUGHT DOWN THE MIGHTY FROM THEIR THRONES AND EXALTED THOSE OF HUMBLE ESTATE; HE HAS FILLED THE HUNGRY WITH GOOD THINGS, AND THE RICH HE HAS SENT AWAY EMPTY. HE HAS HELPED HIS SERVANT ISRAEL, IN REMEMBRANCE OF HIS MERCY, AS HE SPOKE TO OUR FATHERS, TO ABRAHAM AND TO HIS OFFSPRING FOREVER.”
IT SOUNDS TO ME AS IF THIS MARY WAS A VERY HUMBLE AND WISE WOMAN, FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, HUMILITY AND JOY. THESE ARE NOT THE WORDS OF A TROUBLED AND DISTRESSED TEENAGER LOOKING FOR A COVER UP BECAUSE SHE HAD CONCEIVED OUT OF WEDLOCK! IN THOSE DAYS, SHE COULD HAVE BEEN PUT TO DEATH BEING UNMARRIED WITH CHILD. IT WAS TO THESE SAME HILLS OF THIS TOWER, IN BETHLEHEM WHERE RACHEL HAD DIED, THAT THE ANGELS WOULD HAVE DESCENDED TO MAKE THEIR BIG ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE SHEPHERDS... THAT THE SPECIAL LAMB HAD BEEN BORN. THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY WOULD HUMBLE HIMSELF AND PRESENT HIMSELF TO MANKIND AS A LIVING SACRIFICE AS A LAMB TO COVER HUMANITY'S SINS. WOW. THE SHEPHERDS UNDERSTOOD THE SELECTION PROCESS OF THE FIRST BORN MALE LAMB AS A SIN OFFERING. THE EWES WOULD BE BROUGHT INTO THE TOWER FOR SAFE KEEPING DURING THE BIRTHING PROCESS AND MARY WAS AS ONE OF THESE EWES. THIS WAS NO ORDINARY STABLE; IT WAS A SACRED PLACE. HERE MARY AND HER BABY WOULD HAVE SHELTER AND CLEANLINESS FOR THE WORLD AWAITED SACRIFICE TO BE BORN ON EARTH. THAT IS WHY THE HERALD ANGELS SOUNDED. "GLORY TO THE NEWBORN KING." LUKE 2:1-20, "AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THOSE DAYS, THAT THERE WENT OUT A DECREE FROM CAESAR AUGUSTUS, THAT ALL THE WORLD SHOULD BE TAXED. (AND THIS TAXING WAS FIRST MADE WHEN CYRENIUS WAS GOVERNOR OF SYRIA.) AND ALL WENT TO BE TAXED, EVERY ONE INTO HIS OWN CITY. AND JOSEPH ALSO WENT UP FROM GALILEE, OUT OF THE CITY OF NAZARETH, INTO JUDAEA, UNTO THE CITY OF DAVID, WHICH IS CALLED BETHLEHEM; (BECAUSE HE WAS OF THE HOUSE AND LINEAGE OF DAVID:) TO BE TAXED WITH MARY HIS ESPOUSED WIFE, BEING GREAT WITH CHILD. AND SO IT WAS, THAT, WHILE THEY WERE THERE, THE DAYS WERE ACCOMPLISHED THAT SHE SHOULD BE DELIVERED. AND SHE BROUGHT FORTH HER FIRSTBORN SON, AND WRAPPED HIM IN SWADDLING CLOTHES, AND LAID HIM IN A MANGER; BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ROOM FOR THEM IN THE INN. AND THERE WERE IN THE SAME COUNTRY SHEPHERDS ABIDING IN THE FIELD, KEEPING WATCH OVER THEIR FLOCK BY NIGHT. AND, LO, THE ANGEL OF THE LORD CAME UPON THEM, AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD SHONE ROUND ABOUT THEM: AND THEY WERE SORE AFRAID. AND THE ANGEL SAID UNTO THEM, FEAR NOT: FOR I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN THIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH IS CHRIST THE LORD. AND THIS SHALL BE A SIGN UNTO YOU; YE SHALL FIND THE BABE WRAPPED IN SWADDLING CLOTHES, LYING IN A MANGER. AND SUDDENLY THERE WAS WITH THE ANGEL A MULTITUDE OF THE HEAVENLY HOST PRAISING GOD, AND SAYING, GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST, AND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN. AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS THE ANGELS WERE GONE AWAY FROM THEM INTO HEAVEN, THE SHEPHERDS SAID ONE TO ANOTHER, LET US NOW GO EVEN UNTO BETHLEHEM, AND SEE THIS THING WHICH IS COME TO PASS, WHICH THE LORD HAS MADE KNOWN TO US. AND THEY CAME WITH HASTE, AND FOUND MARY, AND JOSEPH, AND THE BABE LYING IN A MANGER. AND WHEN THEY HAD SEEN IT, THEY MADE KNOWN ABROAD THE SAYING WHICH WAS TOLD THEM CONCERNING THIS CHILD. AND ALL THEY THAT HEARD IT WONDERED AT THOSE THINGS WHICH WERE TOLD THEM BY THE SHEPHERDS. BUT MARY KEPT ALL THESE THINGS, AND PONDERED THEM IN HER HEART. AND THE SHEPHERDS RETURNED, GLORIFYING AND PRAISING GOD FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY HAD HEARD AND SEEN, AS IT WAS TOLD THEM."
JESUS WAS PLACED IN A MANGER AND SWADDLED, AS A LAMB, FOR SAFE KEEPING. HE WAS THE UNBLEMISHED SACRIFICE FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD. EVEN AS THE PROPHET JEREMIAH SAID IN JEREMIAH 11:19, “BUT I WAS LIKE A LAMB OR AN OX, THAT IS BROUGHT TO THE SLAUGHTER, AND I KNEW NOT THAT THEY HAD DEVISED DEVICES AGAINST ME, SAYING, LET US DESTROY THE TREE WITH THE FRUIT THEREOF, AND LET US CUT HIM OFF FROM THE LAND OF THE LIVING, THAT HIS NAME BE NO MORE REMEMBERED.” I DOUBT THAT AS A BABY JESUS KNEW HIS DESTINY EITHER, BUT I THINK THAT AS HE GREW HIS FATHER IN HEAVEN AND THE HOLY SPIRIT WOULD HAVE REVEALED EVERYTHING IN DUE TIME. MARY AND JOSEPH PRESENTED JESUS TO THE LORD BECAUSE, AS IT IS WRITTEN IN LUKE 2:23B-24, “EVERY MALE THAT OPENS THE WOMB SHALL BE CALLED HOLY TO THE LORD: AND TO OFFER A SACRIFICE ACCORDING TO THAT WHICH IS SAID IN THE LAW OF THE LORD, A PAIR OF TURTLEDOVES, OR TWO YOUNG PIGEONS.”
LUKE 2:21-22, “AND WHEN EIGHT DAYS WERE ACCOMPLISHED FOR THE CIRCUMCISING OF THE CHILD, HIS NAME WAS CALLED JESUS ((G2424) IESOUS –“JEHOVAH IS SALVATION” JOSHUA, JUSTUS, JESUS THE SON OF GOD, THE SAVIOUR OF MANKIND, GOD INCARNATE FROM THE HEBREW ORIGIN (H3091) YEHOWSHUWA – JEHOVAH SAVED) WHICH WAS SO NAMED OF THE ANGEL BEFORE HE WAS CONCEIVED IN THE WOMB. AND WHEN THE DAYS OF HER PURIFICATION ACCORDING THE THE LAW OF MOSES WERE ACCOMPLISHED, THEY BROUGHT HIM TO JERUSALEM, TO PRESENT HIM TO THE LORD;" HERE SIMEON, A JUST AND DEVOUT MAN, HAD BEEN WAITING FOR THE “CONSOLATION” OF ISRAEL, AND THE HOLY GHOST WAS UPON HIM. IT HAD BEEN REVEALED TO HIM THAT HE WOULD NOT SEE DEATH BEFORE HE HAD SEEN THE LORD’S CHRIST.
LUKE 2:34-35, “AND SIMEON BLESSED THEM, AND SAID UNTO MARY HIS MOTHER, BEHOLD, THIS CHILD IS SET FOR THE FALL AND RISING AGAIN OF MANY IN ISRAEL: AND FOR A SIGN WHICH SHALL BE SPOKEN AGAINST; (YEA, A SWORD SHALL PIERCE THROUGH THY OWN SOUL ALSO,) THAT THE THOUGHTS OF MANY HEARTS MAY BE REVEALED.” HE TOOK JESUS IN HIS ARMS AND ACCORDING TO LUKE 2:29-32, HE SAID, “LORD, NOW LETTEST THOU THY SERVANT DEPART IN PEACE, ACCORDING TO THY WORD. FOR MY EYES HAVE SEEN THY SALVATION, WHICH THOU HAST PREPARED BEFORE THE FACE OF ALL PEOPLE; A LIGHT TO LIGHTEN THE GENTILES, AND THE GLORY OF THY PEOPLE ISRAEL.”
A LIGHT TO LIGHTEN THE GENTILES
.jpeg)
I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS PICTURE CAME FROM. IT MIGHT EVEN BE A PAGAN TEMPLE BECAUSE ALL RELIGIONS UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF LIGHT AND MOST HAVE ALTARS. DARK RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES ARE USUALLY DONE UNDER THE "COVER" OF DARKNESS EVEN AT NIGHT, EVEN IN SOME "CHURCH" BUILDINGS WHICH IRREVERENTLY TAKE THE NAME OF ''CHRIST" AND "CHRISTIAN" WHILE SERVING SATAN OR ANTICHRIST.
OUR SUBURBAN CHEVROLET HAD "HEAD LIGHTS". OUR CARS DO NOT PASS INSPECTION UNLESS THEY HAVE FULLY FUNCTIONAL LIGHTS TO LIGHT OUR WAY IN THE DARK. NOW AMERICA AND THE WORLD IS SEEING WHAT LEADERSHIP LOOKS LIKE THAT OPERATES FROM THE DARK. WITHOUT LIGHT IN DARKNESS, WE WRECK IN OUR CARS. WITHOUT GOD'S LIGHT IN OUR CARNALITY, WE WRECK IN THE DARK. THE WHOLE WORLD IS HEADED FOR A WRECK IF SOMEONE DOES NOT TURN THE LIGHTS ON!
THE GOD GIVEN LIGHT OF THE WORD OF GOD HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM SCHOOLS, FROM OUR PUBLIC BUILDINGS, EVEN FROM OUR HISTORY AS IT WAS FROM COUNTRIES THAT HAVE RE-VERTED TO COMMUNISM, TO PAGANISM, TO INDIGINOUS RELIGIONS THAT WORSHIP OTHER gods. JOSHUA 24:15, "AND IF IT SEEM EVIL UNTO YOU TO SERVE THE LORD, CHOOSE YOU THIS DAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE; WHETHER THE GODS WHICH YOUR FATHERS SERVED THAT WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FLOOD, OR THE GODS OF THE AMORITES, IN WHOSE LAND YE DWELL: BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD."
GENESIS 1:1-4, "IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH. AND THE EARTH WAS WITHOUT FORM, AND VOID; AND DARKNESS WAS UPON THE FACE OF THE DEEP. AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD MOVED UPON THE FACE OF THE WATERS. AND GOD SAID, LET THERE BE LIGHT: AND THERE WAS LIGHT. AND GOD SAW THE LIGHT, THAT IT WAS GOOD: AND GOD DIVIDED THE LIGHT FROM THE DARKNESS. WE ARE NOW IN A TIME OF DIVIDING BETWEEN THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO WALK IN HIS LIGHT, AND THOSE WHO DISDAIN IT.
EZEKIEL 28:12-13, "SON OF MAN, TAKE UP A LAMETATION UPON THE KING OF TYRUS, AND SAY UNTO HIM, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; THOU SEALEST UP THE SUM, FULL OF WISDOM, AND PERFECT IN BEAUTY. THOU HAST BEEN IN EDEN THE GARDEN OF GOD; EVERY PRECIOUS STONE WAS THY COVERING, THE SARDIUS, TOPAZ, AND THE DIAMOND, THE BERYL, THE ONYX, AND THE JASPER, THE SAPPHIRE, THE EMERALD, AND THE CARBUNCLE, AND GOLD: THE WORKMANSHIP OF THY TABRETS AND OF THY PIPES WAS PREPARED ((H3559) IN THE IN THE DAY THAT THOU WAST CREATED."
EZEKIEL 28:18, "THOU HAST DEFILED THY SANCTUARIES BY THE MULTITUDE OF THINE INIQUITIES, BY THE INIQUITY OF THY TRAFFICK; THEREFORE WILL I BRING FORTH A FIRE FROM THE MIDST OF THEE, IT SHALL DEVOUR THEE, AND I WILL BRING THEE TO ASHES UPON THE EARTH IN THE SIGHT OF ALL THEM THAT BEHOLD THEE."
THIS MULTITUDE OF TRAFFICK (TRADE, MERCHANDISE, SPICE) TODAY ALSO OPERATES WORLDWIDE THROUGH THE INTERNET. DAMASCUS IS INTERPRETED "SILENT IS THE SACKCLOTH WEAVER". YES, THEY WEAVE BEAUTIFUL TAPESTRIES THERE, AND HERE WE TAP AWAY, WEAVING OUR OWN INTER NET AS A HIGH TECH TAP TAP TAPESTRY. TAPESTRY BEING SOMETHING WOVEN INTO A PICTURE, EVEN A CARVING OF WOOD OR AN IMAGE, POLISHED. WE ARE CHALLENGED TO DO BUSINESS WITHOUT "IT" (INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY) AS WE SIT INFRONT OF OUR SHINY POLISHED SCREENS.
THE PROBLEM IS, "IT" IS NOW CORRUPT. AS COVID HAS BEEN PURPOSEFULLY RELEASED, SO HAVE COVERT VIRUSES FOR OUR TECHNOLOGY BEEN COVERTLY RELEASED. BOTH ARE COMMUNICABLE AND BOTH HARMFUL TO OUR HEALTH AND TO THE HEALTH OF SOCIETY IN GENERAL. SUDDENLY OUR TECHNOLOGY IS CONTROLLING US. HAVE YOU NOTICED? WE ARE IMPRISONED BY THE PROGRAMS THAT NOW PROGRAM US. OUR FREEDOMS ARE BEING TAKEN FROM US, AND GIVEN TO "IT". OUR SCHOOLS HAVE TAKEN OVER THE PROGRAMMING OF OUR CHILDREN. IS IT TOO LATE?
NO.
THE APOSTLE SAUL/PAUL WAS ON HIS WAY TO DAMASCUS, A CITY REGARDED AS THE OLDEST IN THE WORLD, WHEN HE HAD A LIFE CHANGING ENCOUNTER WITH THE RISEN JESUS CHRIST. HIS MISSION AT THE TIME WAS TO ROUND UP CHRISTIANS AND TAKE THEM BACK TO JERUSALEM TO BE TRIED AND MOST LIKELY EXECUTED, BUT GOD INTERVENED. SUDDENLY HE SAW THE LIGHT. HE WAS A PHARISEE WHO MERCILESSLY HUNTED DOWN AND PERSECUTED THE CHURCH...UNTIL HE WAS LITERALLY BLINDED BY THE LIGHT.
HE WAS ESCORTED TO DAMASCUS, WHERE ON THE STREET CALLED STRAIGHT, ANANIAS OF DAMASCUS RESTORED HIS SIGHT BY LAYING HANDS ON HIM AND HEALING HIM. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE WHAT GOD CAN DO, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, ANY PLACE, IN ANY CITY WITH ANY MAN. THIS MAN WHO ONCE KILLED CHRISTIANS WAS LATER TRANSLATED TO HEAVEN TO RECEIVE SUPERNATURAL INSIGHTS INTO THE COVENANTS OF GOD WITH JEW AND GENTILE, AND IT STARTED ON THE ROAD TO HISTORIC DAMASCUS. HE RECEIVED HIS SIGHT IN HIS BLINDED EYES IN DAMASCUS, A CITY IN THE HEART OF SYRIA.
SATAN ALWAYS COMES TO STEAL, KILL AND DESTROY...EVERYTHING HE CAN. HE KNOWS "IT" IS A VEHICLE TO SCAM, ROB, RUIN, DETER, COMPLICATE, ENTRAP...AND CORRUPT...EVERYONE. I BELIEVE A FIRE IS GOING TO ARISE FROM WITHIN IT TOO. A FIRE FOR THE LORD; GOD IS GOING TO USE IT TO SIFT, THRESH, PURIFY AND ENLIGHTEN AND ULTIMATELY SPREAD THE GOSPEL LIKE WILDFIRE. IT WILL BE HOT AND ANOINTED FOR THOSE CALLED BY GOD.
CARS NEED LIGHT, PEOPLE NEED LIGHT AND NATIONS NEED LIGHT. MIRACULOUSLY, THE BIRTH OF JESUS BROUGHT LIGHT TO THE WORLD WHEN HE CAME TO THAT LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM. 1 JOHN 1:7-9, “BUT IF WE WALK IN THE LIGHT, AS HE IS IN THE LIGHT, WE HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH ONE ANOTHER, AND THE BLOOD OF JESUS, HIS SON, PURIFIES US FROM ALL SIN. IF WE CLAIM TO BE WITHOUT SIN WE DECEIVE OURSELVES AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN US. IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST AND WILL FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND PURIFY US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.” I CLAIM 1 JOHN 1:7-9. I SEEK MERCY AND NOT JUSTICE.
JOHN 8:12, "THEN SPAKE JESUS AGAIN UNTO THEM, SAYING, I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD: HE THAT FOLLOWETH ME SHALL NOT WALK IN DARKNESS, BUT SHALL HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE." MATTHEW 5:16, " LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE BEFORE MEN, THAT THEY MAY SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS, AND GLORIFY YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN."
MATTHEW 6:22-23, "THE LIGHT OF THE BODY IS THE EYE: IF THEREFORE THINE EYE BE SINGLE, THY WHOLE BODY SHALL BE FULL OF LIGHT. BUT IF THINE EYE BE EVIL, THY WHOLE BODY SHALL BE FULL OF DARKNESS. IF THEREFORE THE LIGHT THAT IS IN THEE BE DARKNESS, HOW GREAT IS THAT DARKNESS! " WE ALL KNOW NOT TO TRAVEL AT NIGHT WITHOUT OUR HEAD LIGHTS ON IN OUR CARS. OUR CARNALITY IS THE SAME WAY...WE NEED OUR HEAD LIGHTS , OUR OWN EYES, POWERED BY THE LIGHT OF JESUS TO SEE IN AN INCREASINGLY DARK WORLD.
HEBREWS 7:19, “FOR THE LAW MADE NOTHING PERFECT, BUT THE BRINGING IN OF A BETTER HOPE DID; BY THE WHICH WE DRAW ((G1448) EGGIZO - DRAW NIGH, BE AT HAND, DRAW NEAR FROM (G1451) EGGYS- NEAR, THOSE WHO ARE NEAR ACCESS TO GOD JEWS AS OPPOSED TO THOSE WHO ARE ALIEN FROM GOD AND HIS BLESSINGS, THE RABBIS USED THE TERM “TO MAKE NIGH” AS EQUIVALENT TO “TO MAKE A PROSELYTE”, OF TIMES IMMINENT AND SOON TO COME) NIGH UNTO GOD.” WHEN I COMPARE MYSELF TO REAL GODLY PEOPLE, I FEEL VERY SHRIVELLED UP. NOT JUST IN MY SKIN THAT KEEPS MY INNARDS IN, BUT MY SPIRIT. THEN I KNOW I NEED TO SOAK IN THE LIVING WATER SOME MORE AND HYDRATE IN HIM SO THAT WHAT IS DRAWN OUT OF ME WILL REFLECT MORE OF HIM.
EGGIZO IS THE SAME WORD FOR DRAW IN JAMES 4:8, “DRAW NIGH UNTO GOD, AND HE WILL DRAW NIGH TO YOU. CLEANSE YOUR HANDS YOU SINNERS; AND PURIFY YOUR HEARTS, YE DOUBLE MINDED”. MOSES, THE PROPHET, LAWGIVER AND LEADER OF EXODUS WAS SO NAMED, NOT BECAUSE HE WAS FOUND AS AN EASTER EGG IN A BASKET, BUT BECAUSE HE WAS DRAWN OUT OF THE WATER. THE LAW OF MOSES WILL BE DRAWN OUT OF THE WATER AGAIN, INCLUDING THE WATERS OF THE INTERNET.
EGGIZO IS THE SAME WORD FOR DRAW IN JAMES 4:8, “DRAW NIGH UNTO GOD, AND HE WILL DRAW NIGH TO YOU. CLEANSE YOUR HANDS YOU SINNERS; AND PURIFY YOUR HEARTS, YE DOUBLE MINDED”. MOSES, THE PROPHET, LAWGIVER AND LEADER OF EXODUS WAS SO NAMED, NOT BECAUSE HE WAS FOUND AS AN EASTER EGG IN A BASKET, BUT BECAUSE HE WAS DRAWN OUT OF THE WATER. THE LAW OF MOSES WILL BE DRAWN OUT OF THE WATER AGAIN, INCLUDING THE WATERS OF THE INTERNET.
CHEVROLET - FRENCH FOR AN "EAR OF WHEAT"
JESUS CAME AS THE TORAH IN-CAR-NATE. HIS CAR-NALITY WAS MAN-IFEST AS A SHEAF OF WHEAT...THE CHEVROLET NO LESS. HE IS THE LAMB, THE BREAD, THE LIVING WATER, THE WINE, THE VINE, THE BRANCH, THE MANNA, THE FEAST, THE LIGHT, THE LIFE, THE LIVING WORD, THE SON OF GOD, GOD MANIFEST, THE CREATOR...AND OUR SIN OFFERING. JESUS IS TRUTH INCARNATE TOO. SATAN IS THE LIAR FROM THE BEGINNING, EVEN ARGUING WITH YOUR MIND, NOW, POSSIBLY ABOUT THE CHEVROLET...BUT READ ON.
OUR CARS HAVE BUILT IN TRANSMISSIONS TO MOVE POWER FROM THE ENGINE TO THE WHEELS, BUT OUR SINS ARE TRANSMITTED LIKE VIRUSES OR COVID, COVERTLY, UNDER COVER, EVEN IN THE DEFILED WATERS OF OUR SPITTLE. I UNDERSTAND NOW THAT THE REASON FOR MASKS IS THAT COVID IS TRANSMITTED BY DROPLETS OF WATER. IN THE SAME WAY THAT WE ARE INFECTING PEOPLE WITH A COMMUNICABLE WORLDWIDE DISEASE, IF WE DO NOT HAVE THE LIVING WATER OF THE LIGHT AND LIFE OF JESUS WITHIN US, OUR WORLD IS GOING TO BE CON-SUMED WITH SIN, EVEN AS COVID HAS TAKEN OVER OUR DAILY LIVES, ONE BY ONE AND BROUGHT LIFE AS WE KNEW IT TO A HALT.
THE ALTAR WAS FOR THE REMISSION OF OUR SINS, TO ALTER US, WHICH IS OUR SALVATION ((H3444)YESUA- SALVATION, DELIVERANCE, WELFARE, PROSPERITY, VICTORY). ONCE WE HAVE OBTAINED SALVATION, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ON A MISSION TO SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS TO OTHERS, TO PUT WHEELS ON IT SO TO SPEAK AND TO BROADCAST THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL NEAR AND FAR. TODAY, IN THE WORLD, IT IS THE BAD NEWS THAT IS PROMOTED AND PEDDLED, THAT HAS MADE SO MANY SUICIDAL WITH NO HOPE.
JESUS IS THE LIVING “EAR OF WHEAT”, THE BREAD OF LIFE. IN THE BOOK OF JUDGES, THE TRIBE OF EPHRAIM WAS JUDGED ACCORDING TO WHETHER OF NOT THEY COULD EVEN SAY THE WORD “EAR OF WHEAT”, WHICH IN FRENCH THE MOT IS CHEVROLET! HA! I AM AMAIZED! IF THE EPHRAIMITES COULD PRONOUNCE THIS WORD PROPERLY, THEY WOULD LIVE, IF NOT THEY WOULD DIE AT THE HAND OF THE MEN OF GILEAD. THE WORD IN HEBREW IS “SIBBOLET” BUT IT WAS PRONOUNCED “SHIBBOLETH” BUT MEN OF EPHRAIM COULD NOT PRONOUNCE “SH”.
WAT? SHH! I REMEMBER THE ADVERTIZEMENT FOR ISUZU WHEN THEY FIRST CAME OUT. AN ORIENTAL GENTLEMAN EXPOUNDED ON THE VIRTUES OF THIS FOREIGN CAR IN 1981, EXPLAINING THAT ITS NAME WAS “ISUZU”. HE FURTHER EXPLAINED THAT WE WERE NOT TO WORRY IF WE COULD NOT PRONOUNCE IT...HE COULD NOT SAY CHEW-WO-WAY! NO WAY! YEP, THE SAME WORD CHEVROLET, EAR OF WHEAT, THAT IN JUDGES 12:5-6, THE EPHRAIMITES COULD NOT SAY EITHER, EVEN IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE! IT REALLY MAKES ME QUESTION WHO THE EPHRAIMITES REALLY ARE?
BRITISH PEOPLE WHO MANY SAY ARE FROM EPHRAIMITE STOCK, HAVE NO PROBLEM PRONOUNCING “SH” BUT THOSE OF SOUTHERN CHINA MAY. SO I LOOKED IT UP AND LO AND BEHOLD, ISAIAH 49:12, “BEHOLD, THESE SHALL COME FROM FAR: AND, LO, THESE FROM THE NORTH AND FROM THE WEST; AND THESE FROM THE LAND OF SINIM ((H5515) CIYNIYM – SINIM, A DISTANT ORIENTAL REGION. SINIM = “THORNS”, A PEOPLE LIVING AT THE EXTREMITY OF THE KNOWN WORLD; MAY BE IDENTIFIED WITH THE INHABITANTS OF SOUTHERN CHINA).” WOW; THE SAME PEOPLE WHO CANNOT PRONOUNCE “SH” AND WHO ACCORDING TO EARLY MISSIONARIES TO THIS AREA, REPORTED SIMILAR JEWISH TRAITS IN THEIR CULTURE, ARE NOW INDIGINOUS TO CHINA!
JUDGES 12:5-6, "AND THE GILEADITES TOOK THE PASSAGES OF JORDAN BEFORE THE EPHRAIMITES: AND IT WAS SO, THAT WHEN THOSE EPHRAIMITES WHICH WERE ESCAPED SAID, LET ME GO OVER; THAT THE MEN OF GILEAD SAID UNTO HIM, ART THOU AN EPHRAIMITE? IF HE SAID, NAY; THEN SAID THEY UNTO HIM, SAY NOW SHIBBOLETH: AND HE SAID SIBBOLETH: FOR HE COULD NOT FRAME TO PRONOUNCE IT RIGHT. THEN THEY TOOK HIM, AND SLEW HIM AT THE PASSAGES OF JORDAN: AND THERE FELL AT THAT TIME OF THE EPHRAIMITES FORTY AND TWO THOUSAND.” 42,000 WERE NOT SAVED BUT SLAUGHTERED! THERE IS A NAME BY WHICH MEN ARE SAVED, HIS NAME IS JESUS AND MOST PEOPLE CAN SAY HIS NAME...IF THEY WANT TO. I WAS ALSO REMINDED IN THIS PASSAGE THAT MY BOAT, ZION'S DREAM WEIGHED 42,000 LBS. ACTS 4:12, “NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER: FOR THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED.” CAN YOU BELIEVE IT. JESUS IS OUR CHEVROLET?! HE IS THE EAR OF WHEAT WE EAT, SO, ACCORDING TO MATTHEW 13:9, “WHO HATH EARS TO HEAR, LET HIM HEAR.” TRUTH TO TELL, I PURCHASED MY CHEVROLET SUBURBAN FROM THE CHEVROLET DEALER IN GRANBURY, TX. GRANBURY HAPPENED TO BE NAMED AFTER GENERAL GRAINBURY, BUT THE NAME WAS CHANGED TO GRANBURY. GRANBURY SAW GREAT REVIVAL IN THE 1980'S, BUT IT SEEMED THAT MANY OF THE CHURCHES DIED AND SEEMED BURIED IN THE GROUND. REALLY, THE PEOPLE WERE THRESHED, MANY IT SEEMED DEAD AND BURIED SPIRITUALLY. THOSE OVERSHADOWED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHEN SEEDED, ARE NOW SPROUTING UP ALL OVER THE WORLD FOR ANOTHER REVIVAL.
JESUS - BORN A SUBURBAN CHEVROLET!
JESUS WAS PUT, NOT IN AN ARK LIKE MOSES, NOR ON TOP OF A BLOOD RED SUBURBAN TO BE CRADLED IN A ROOF RACK LIKE OUR DOVE'S EGG, BUT IN THE SUBURBAN AREA OF THE HILLS OF JERUSALEM, KNOWN AS BETHLEHEM. ACTUALLY, HE WAS THE CHEVROLET BECAUSE A CHEVROLET IS AN EAR OF WHEAT, FROM WHICH WE GET THE WORD CHEVRON. LET HIM WHO HAS EARS TO HEAR HEAR. ONLY LAMBS BORN WITHIN A SMALL RADIUS OF THE TEMPLE COULD BE SACRIFICED IN THE TEMPLE IN THE CITY OF DAVID, JERUSALEM, AT PASSOVER. THAT IS WHY MARY AND JOSEPH WERE DIVINELY LED TO THE SUBURBS OF JERUSALEM, BETHLEHEM, TO THOSE VERY PASTURES WHEN JESUS WAS BORN...BECAUSE HE WAS TO BE THE WORLD’S ONE AND ONLY PASSOVER SACRIFICIAL LAMB FROM EVERLASTING. MOST MISS THE POINT OF THIS BABY PLACED IN A LAMB’S MANGER TO BE FLEECED... TO COVER THE SINS OF ALL MANKIND; HIS FLEECE COVERED IN RED BLOOD.
AT PASSOVER IN JERUSALEM, LAMBS WERE SACRIFICIALLY OFFERED ACCORDING TO THE LAWS AND RITUALS PERFORMED BY THE PRIESTS. IF PEOPLE COULD NOT COME TO THE TEMPLE, OUTSIDE JERUSALEM, THE PEOPLE HAD TO EAT UNLEAVENED BREAD, IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WHO HURRIEDLY LEFT EGYPT BEFORE THEIR BREAD COULD RISE. NOT ONLY WAS JESUS BORN IN THE SUBURBS OF JERUSALEM IN BETHLEHEM, WHICH INTERPRETED IS “HOUSE OF BREAD”, BUT JESUS SAID, IN JOHN 6:35, “...I AM THE LIVING BREAD OF LIFE: HE THAT COMETH TO ME SHALL NEVER HUNGER; AND HE THAT BELIEVETH ON ME SHALL NEVER THIRST.” IN JERUSALEM HE WAS THE LAMB, OUTSIDE JERUSALEM HE WAS THE BREAD. HE WAS BOTH. AMAIZING. AFTER THE CRUCIFIXION, DEATH AND BURIAL OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH...HE WAS SEEN TO RISE ON THE FEAST OF FIRST FRUITS. WITHOUT SIN, HE AROSE AS KING JESUS BECAUSE HE WAS NO LONGER UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE. THE JEWS HAVE THE GLORY OF GIVING BIRTH TO THE MESSIAH OF THE WHOLE WORLD, AND THE UNGLORY OF LIVING UNDER A DICTATORSHIP BECAUSE THEY HAD TURNED AWAY FROM THEIR GOD. JESUS’ ADOPTED FATHER, JOSEPH, WAS OF THE CITY OF DAVID AND LINEAGE OF KING DAVID. MARY WAS TOO FOR A WITNESS OF TWO THAT JESUS WAS BORN A ROYAL CHILD WHOSE KINGDOWM WILL HAVE NO END. JOHN 7:42, "HATH NOT THE SCRIPTURE SAID, THAT CHRIST COMETH OF THE SEED OF DAVID, AND OUT OF BETHLEHEM, WHERE DAVID WAS?" JEREMIAH 33:22, "AS THE HOST OF HEAVEN CANNOT BE NUMBERED, NEITHER THE SAND OF THE SEA MEASURED: SO WILL I MULTIPLY THE SEED OF DAVID MY SERVANT, AND THE LEVITES THAT MINISTER UNTO ME." BOTH JOSEPH AND MARY HAD A ROYAL HERITAGE OF THE SEED OF DAVID, BUT BECAUSE JERUSALEM WAS UNDER THE GOVERNMENT OF ROME, THE CITY OF ANGELS AND DEMONS, HIS BLOODLINE AND KINGSHIP WAS NOT HONORED ON EARTH; NO PROBLEM: JESUS CAME TO ESTABLISH AND SEED, EVEN TO BE BURIED INTO THE GROUND SO THAT HIS ETERNAL KINGDOM OF HEAVEN COULD ARISE FROM HIM. JOHN 12: 23-26, "AND JESUS ANSWERING THEM, SAYING, THE HOUR IS COME, THAT THE SON OF MAN SHOULD BE GLORIFIED. VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, EXCEPT A CORN OF WHEAT FALL INTO THE GROUND AND DIE, IT ABIDETH ALONE: BUT IF IT DIE, IT BRINGETH MUCH FRUIT. HE THAT LOVETH HIS LIFE SHALL LOSE IT; AND HE THAT HATETH HIS LIFE IN THIS WORLD SHALL KEEP IT UNTO LIFE ETERNAL. IF ANY MAN SERVE ME, LET HIM FOLLOW ME; AND WHERE I AM, THERE SHALL ALSO MY SERVANT BE: IF ANY MAN SERVE ME, HIM WILL MY FATHER HONOUR." INTERESTINGLY, EGYPT, NO LONGER A SUPER POWER, ALSO FELL TO THE ROMAN EMPIRE IN 30BC. THE ROMAN EMPERORS OVER EGYPT WERE OFFICIALLY TITLED AS ITS PHARAOHS, AND AS SUCH THE HERODS THAT OVERSAW THE JEWS AT JERUSALEM, AT THE TIME OF JESUS, WERE ALSO EYGPTIAN PHARAOHS/GODS. HEROD, A TITLED PHARAOH, WOULD OVERSEE THE KILLING OF GOD’S FIRSTBORN SON, JESUS, EVEN AS MOSES OVERSAW THE ANGEL OF DEATH TAKE THE EGYPTIAN FIRST BORN SONS, INCLUDING PHARAOH’S.
ABOUT 2,000 YEARS AGO, ANGELS HAD SUDDENLY SPLASHED ACROSS THE SKY ANNOUNCING JESUS’ BIRTH TO THE KINGS, HOLLYWOOD STARS, RICH MOGULS, MOVERS AND SHAKERS...TADA! WHOOPS...NOT YET, LATER; THEN IT WAS SIMPLY TO THE WORTHY SHEPHERDS. LUKE 2:10-12, “AND THE ANGEL SAID TO THEM, FEAR NOT, FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR TO YOU IS BORN THIS DAY, IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOR, WHICH IS CHRIST THE LORD. AND THIS SHALL BE A SIGN UNTO YOU; YE SHALL FIND THE BABE WRAPPED IN SWADDLING CLOTHES AND LYING IN A MANGER ((G5336) PHATNE - A CRIB FOR FODDER, MANGER OR STALL).”
AFTER JESUS WAS BORN, HE WAS LAID IN ONE OF THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB’S MANGERS, EVEN AMONGST THE SACRED TEMPLE FLOCKS, BECAUSE THIS SUBURBAN TOWN RAISED BABY LAMBS FOR TEMPLE SACRIFICE. JESUS WAS LAID IN A MANGER BECAUSE HE WAS THE WORLD AWAITED SACRIFICIAL LAMB FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD.
LAMBING TIME WAS AT THE TIME OF PASSOVER. IT SEEMS THAT NOT ONLY BABIES, BUT BABY LAMBS WERE ALSO SWADDLED FOR SAFE KEEPING WHEN THEY WERE INSPECTED TOO, PREVENTING THEM FROM INJURING THEMSELVES. THE SHEPHERD’S JOB WAS TO PROTECT THEM AS NEWBORNS AND KEEP THEM WITHOUT SPOT OR BLEMISH FOR SACRIFICE. IT WAS ONLY FROM THESE LAMBS THAT THE MANY SACRIFICES IN THE TEMPLE WERE MADE, THE MOST PRECIOUS OF ALL BEING SELECTED AS THE PERFECT PASSOVER LAMB.
EGGS, EGG YOLKS, ZYGOTES AND JOKES
THE ALTAR OF BURNT OFFERING (BRAZEN ALTAR) STOOD BETWEEN THE TEMPLE AND THE COURT. THERE ALL THE SACRIFICES WERE “SEASONED WITH SALT”. JOB 6:6, "CAN THAT WHICH IS UNSAVOURY BE EATEN WITHOUT SALT? OR IS THERE ANY TASTE IN THE WHITE OF AN EGG? " MATTHEW 5:13, "YE ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH: BUT IF THE SALT HAVE LOST HIS SAVOUR, WHEREWITH SHALL IT BE SALTED? IT IS THENCEFORTH GOOD FOR NOTHING, BUT TO BE CAST OUT, AND TO BE TRODDEN UNDER FOOT OF MEN." THE ALTAR OF INCENSE, CALLED THE GOLDEN ALTAR WAS WITHIN THE SANCTUARY IN THE HOLY PLACE BUT NOW THE LAMB OF GOD SITS IN HEAVENLY PLACES AT THE ALTAR OF INCENSE IN HEAVEN, CONTINUALLY INTERCEDING FOR US, YET MANY PREFER TO HONOR ICONS INSTEAD OF THE CHRIST, THE TEMPLE INSTEAD OF THE BODY OF CHRIST, MOUNT ZION AND MOUNT MORIAH INSTEAD INSTEAD OF THE MOUNTAIN OF GOD’S TRUTH. FOREVER PASSING OVER WHAT THE LAMB HAS ALREADY DONE FOR THEM AT PASSOVER, THEY EAT HARD BOILED EGGS WITH SALT FROM A SHAKER. LIKE GENTILES, OUR CHILDREN ARE SET UP TO HONOUR THE EASTER EGGS. WE HAVE LOST OUR SAVOUR, BUT NOT OUR SAVIOUR. HE IS STILL INTERCEDING ON OUR BEHALF.
BUT HERE IS A RIDDLE; A PLAY ON WORDS FROM MATTHEW 11:28, “COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST. TAKE MY YOKE UPON YOU AND LEARN OF ME; FOR I AM MEEK AND LOWLY IN HEART: AND YE SHALL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. FOR MY YOKE IS EASY, AND MY BURDEN LIGHT.” HA. NO JOKE. YOKE ((G2218) ZYGOS – A COUPLING, I.E. (FIGURATIVELY) SERVITUDE (A LAW OR OBLIGATION); ALSO LITERALLY THE BEAM OF THE BALANCE (AS CONNECTING SCALES):-PAIR OF BALANCES. I. A YOKE A. A YOKE THAT IS PUT ON DRAUGHT CATTLE B. METAPH. USED OF ANY BEAST OF BURDEN OR BONDAGE I. AS THAT OF SLAVERY II. OF TROUBLESOME LAWS IMPOSED ON ONE, ESP. OF THE MOSAIC LAW, HENCE THE NAME IS TRANSFERRED TO THE COMMANDS OF CHRIST AS TO CONTRAST THEM WITH THE COMMANDS OF THE PHARISEES WHICH WERE A VERITABLE ‘YOKE’; YET EVEN CHRIST’S COMMANDS MUST BE SUBMITTED TO, THOUGH EASIER TO BE KEPT).
TO UPDATE THIS CONCEPT IN THE LIGHT OF MODERN SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE, A ZYGOTE IS A CELL, THE RESULT OF A FERTILIZATION EVENT WHEN TWO GAMETES UNITE. ITS NAME ALSO COMES FROM ZYGOS (YOKE) ABOVE, BELIEVE IT OR NOT. ITS GENOME IS A COMBINATION OF DNA FROM EACH, FORMING A NEW INDIVIDUAL IN ITS EARLIEST STATE. JOHN 3:3, “JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO THEE, EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN AGAIN, HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD.” 1 PETER 1:23, “BEING BORN AGAIN, NOT OF CORRUPTIBLE SEED, BUT INCORRUPTIBLE, BY THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH LIVETH AND ABIDETH FOR EVER.” WHEN WE ARE BORN AGAIN, WE ARE NO MORE DEVELOPED THAN OUR BABIES ARE. THEY HAVE TO GROW AND LEARN PHYSICALLY. WE ARE TO GROW AND LEARN SPIRITUALLY BY EATING THE WORD OF GOD. MOST DON’T EAT THE GOOD WORD OF GOD ANYMORE THAN WE EAT GOOD FOOD. JUNK FOOD IS SOOOO TEMPTING, BECAUSE IT IS FROM SATAN. THE CREATOR KNEW EGGSACTLY WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. IT IS ALWAYS US THAT DOES NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND.
JESUS IS THE LIVING “EAR OF WHEAT”, THE BREAD OF LIFE. IN THE BOOK OF JUDGES, THE TRIBE OF EPHRAIM WAS JUDGED ACCORDING TO WHETHER OF NOT THEY COULD EVEN SAY THE WORD “EAR OF WHEAT”, WHICH IN FRENCH THE MOT IS CHEVROLET! HA! I AM AMAIZED! IF THE EPHRAIMITES COULD PRONOUNCE THIS WORD PROPERLY, THEY WOULD LIVE, IF NOT THEY WOULD DIE AT THE HAND OF THE MEN OF GILEAD. THE WORD IN HEBREW IS “SIBBOLET” BUT IT WAS PRONOUNCED “SHIBBOLETH” BUT MEN OF EPHRAIM COULD NOT PRONOUNCE “SH”.
WAT? SHH! I REMEMBER THE ADVERTIZEMENT FOR ISUZU WHEN THEY FIRST CAME OUT. AN ORIENTAL GENTLEMAN EXPOUNDED ON THE VIRTUES OF THIS FOREIGN CAR IN 1981, EXPLAINING THAT ITS NAME WAS “ISUZU”. HE FURTHER EXPLAINED THAT WE WERE NOT TO WORRY IF WE COULD NOT PRONOUNCE IT...HE COULD NOT SAY CHEW-WO-WAY! NO WAY! YEP, THE SAME WORD CHEVROLET, EAR OF WHEAT, THAT IN JUDGES 12:5-6, THE EPHRAIMITES COULD NOT SAY EITHER, EVEN IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE! IT REALLY MAKES ME QUESTION WHO THE EPHRAIMITES REALLY ARE?
BRITISH PEOPLE WHO MANY SAY ARE FROM EPHRAIMITE STOCK, HAVE NO PROBLEM PRONOUNCING “SH” BUT THOSE OF SOUTHERN CHINA MAY. SO I LOOKED IT UP AND LO AND BEHOLD, ISAIAH 49:12, “BEHOLD, THESE SHALL COME FROM FAR: AND, LO, THESE FROM THE NORTH AND FROM THE WEST; AND THESE FROM THE LAND OF SINIM ((H5515) CIYNIYM – SINIM, A DISTANT ORIENTAL REGION. SINIM = “THORNS”, A PEOPLE LIVING AT THE EXTREMITY OF THE KNOWN WORLD; MAY BE IDENTIFIED WITH THE INHABITANTS OF SOUTHERN CHINA).” WOW; THE SAME PEOPLE WHO CANNOT PRONOUNCE “SH” AND WHO ACCORDING TO EARLY MISSIONARIES TO THIS AREA, REPORTED SIMILAR JEWISH TRAITS IN THEIR CULTURE, ARE NOW INDIGINOUS TO CHINA!
JUDGES 12:5-6, "AND THE GILEADITES TOOK THE PASSAGES OF JORDAN BEFORE THE EPHRAIMITES: AND IT WAS SO, THAT WHEN THOSE EPHRAIMITES WHICH WERE ESCAPED SAID, LET ME GO OVER; THAT THE MEN OF GILEAD SAID UNTO HIM, ART THOU AN EPHRAIMITE? IF HE SAID, NAY; THEN SAID THEY UNTO HIM, SAY NOW SHIBBOLETH: AND HE SAID SIBBOLETH: FOR HE COULD NOT FRAME TO PRONOUNCE IT RIGHT. THEN THEY TOOK HIM, AND SLEW HIM AT THE PASSAGES OF JORDAN: AND THERE FELL AT THAT TIME OF THE EPHRAIMITES FORTY AND TWO THOUSAND.” 42,000 WERE NOT SAVED BUT SLAUGHTERED! THERE IS A NAME BY WHICH MEN ARE SAVED, HIS NAME IS JESUS AND MOST PEOPLE CAN SAY HIS NAME...IF THEY WANT TO. I WAS ALSO REMINDED IN THIS PASSAGE THAT MY BOAT, ZION'S DREAM WEIGHED 42,000 LBS. ACTS 4:12, “NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER: FOR THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED.” CAN YOU BELIEVE IT. JESUS IS OUR CHEVROLET?! HE IS THE EAR OF WHEAT WE EAT, SO, ACCORDING TO MATTHEW 13:9, “WHO HATH EARS TO HEAR, LET HIM HEAR.” TRUTH TO TELL, I PURCHASED MY CHEVROLET SUBURBAN FROM THE CHEVROLET DEALER IN GRANBURY, TX. GRANBURY HAPPENED TO BE NAMED AFTER GENERAL GRAINBURY, BUT THE NAME WAS CHANGED TO GRANBURY. GRANBURY SAW GREAT REVIVAL IN THE 1980'S, BUT IT SEEMED THAT MANY OF THE CHURCHES DIED AND SEEMED BURIED IN THE GROUND. REALLY, THE PEOPLE WERE THRESHED, MANY IT SEEMED DEAD AND BURIED SPIRITUALLY. THOSE OVERSHADOWED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHEN SEEDED, ARE NOW SPROUTING UP ALL OVER THE WORLD FOR ANOTHER REVIVAL.
JESUS - BORN A SUBURBAN CHEVROLET!
JESUS WAS PUT, NOT IN AN ARK LIKE MOSES, NOR ON TOP OF A BLOOD RED SUBURBAN TO BE CRADLED IN A ROOF RACK LIKE OUR DOVE'S EGG, BUT IN THE SUBURBAN AREA OF THE HILLS OF JERUSALEM, KNOWN AS BETHLEHEM. ACTUALLY, HE WAS THE CHEVROLET BECAUSE A CHEVROLET IS AN EAR OF WHEAT, FROM WHICH WE GET THE WORD CHEVRON. LET HIM WHO HAS EARS TO HEAR HEAR. ONLY LAMBS BORN WITHIN A SMALL RADIUS OF THE TEMPLE COULD BE SACRIFICED IN THE TEMPLE IN THE CITY OF DAVID, JERUSALEM, AT PASSOVER. THAT IS WHY MARY AND JOSEPH WERE DIVINELY LED TO THE SUBURBS OF JERUSALEM, BETHLEHEM, TO THOSE VERY PASTURES WHEN JESUS WAS BORN...BECAUSE HE WAS TO BE THE WORLD’S ONE AND ONLY PASSOVER SACRIFICIAL LAMB FROM EVERLASTING. MOST MISS THE POINT OF THIS BABY PLACED IN A LAMB’S MANGER TO BE FLEECED... TO COVER THE SINS OF ALL MANKIND; HIS FLEECE COVERED IN RED BLOOD.
AT PASSOVER IN JERUSALEM, LAMBS WERE SACRIFICIALLY OFFERED ACCORDING TO THE LAWS AND RITUALS PERFORMED BY THE PRIESTS. IF PEOPLE COULD NOT COME TO THE TEMPLE, OUTSIDE JERUSALEM, THE PEOPLE HAD TO EAT UNLEAVENED BREAD, IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WHO HURRIEDLY LEFT EGYPT BEFORE THEIR BREAD COULD RISE. NOT ONLY WAS JESUS BORN IN THE SUBURBS OF JERUSALEM IN BETHLEHEM, WHICH INTERPRETED IS “HOUSE OF BREAD”, BUT JESUS SAID, IN JOHN 6:35, “...I AM THE LIVING BREAD OF LIFE: HE THAT COMETH TO ME SHALL NEVER HUNGER; AND HE THAT BELIEVETH ON ME SHALL NEVER THIRST.” IN JERUSALEM HE WAS THE LAMB, OUTSIDE JERUSALEM HE WAS THE BREAD. HE WAS BOTH. AMAIZING. AFTER THE CRUCIFIXION, DEATH AND BURIAL OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH...HE WAS SEEN TO RISE ON THE FEAST OF FIRST FRUITS. WITHOUT SIN, HE AROSE AS KING JESUS BECAUSE HE WAS NO LONGER UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE. THE JEWS HAVE THE GLORY OF GIVING BIRTH TO THE MESSIAH OF THE WHOLE WORLD, AND THE UNGLORY OF LIVING UNDER A DICTATORSHIP BECAUSE THEY HAD TURNED AWAY FROM THEIR GOD. JESUS’ ADOPTED FATHER, JOSEPH, WAS OF THE CITY OF DAVID AND LINEAGE OF KING DAVID. MARY WAS TOO FOR A WITNESS OF TWO THAT JESUS WAS BORN A ROYAL CHILD WHOSE KINGDOWM WILL HAVE NO END. JOHN 7:42, "HATH NOT THE SCRIPTURE SAID, THAT CHRIST COMETH OF THE SEED OF DAVID, AND OUT OF BETHLEHEM, WHERE DAVID WAS?" JEREMIAH 33:22, "AS THE HOST OF HEAVEN CANNOT BE NUMBERED, NEITHER THE SAND OF THE SEA MEASURED: SO WILL I MULTIPLY THE SEED OF DAVID MY SERVANT, AND THE LEVITES THAT MINISTER UNTO ME." BOTH JOSEPH AND MARY HAD A ROYAL HERITAGE OF THE SEED OF DAVID, BUT BECAUSE JERUSALEM WAS UNDER THE GOVERNMENT OF ROME, THE CITY OF ANGELS AND DEMONS, HIS BLOODLINE AND KINGSHIP WAS NOT HONORED ON EARTH; NO PROBLEM: JESUS CAME TO ESTABLISH AND SEED, EVEN TO BE BURIED INTO THE GROUND SO THAT HIS ETERNAL KINGDOM OF HEAVEN COULD ARISE FROM HIM. JOHN 12: 23-26, "AND JESUS ANSWERING THEM, SAYING, THE HOUR IS COME, THAT THE SON OF MAN SHOULD BE GLORIFIED. VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, EXCEPT A CORN OF WHEAT FALL INTO THE GROUND AND DIE, IT ABIDETH ALONE: BUT IF IT DIE, IT BRINGETH MUCH FRUIT. HE THAT LOVETH HIS LIFE SHALL LOSE IT; AND HE THAT HATETH HIS LIFE IN THIS WORLD SHALL KEEP IT UNTO LIFE ETERNAL. IF ANY MAN SERVE ME, LET HIM FOLLOW ME; AND WHERE I AM, THERE SHALL ALSO MY SERVANT BE: IF ANY MAN SERVE ME, HIM WILL MY FATHER HONOUR." INTERESTINGLY, EGYPT, NO LONGER A SUPER POWER, ALSO FELL TO THE ROMAN EMPIRE IN 30BC. THE ROMAN EMPERORS OVER EGYPT WERE OFFICIALLY TITLED AS ITS PHARAOHS, AND AS SUCH THE HERODS THAT OVERSAW THE JEWS AT JERUSALEM, AT THE TIME OF JESUS, WERE ALSO EYGPTIAN PHARAOHS/GODS. HEROD, A TITLED PHARAOH, WOULD OVERSEE THE KILLING OF GOD’S FIRSTBORN SON, JESUS, EVEN AS MOSES OVERSAW THE ANGEL OF DEATH TAKE THE EGYPTIAN FIRST BORN SONS, INCLUDING PHARAOH’S.
ABOUT 2,000 YEARS AGO, ANGELS HAD SUDDENLY SPLASHED ACROSS THE SKY ANNOUNCING JESUS’ BIRTH TO THE KINGS, HOLLYWOOD STARS, RICH MOGULS, MOVERS AND SHAKERS...TADA! WHOOPS...NOT YET, LATER; THEN IT WAS SIMPLY TO THE WORTHY SHEPHERDS. LUKE 2:10-12, “AND THE ANGEL SAID TO THEM, FEAR NOT, FOR BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD TIDINGS OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE. FOR TO YOU IS BORN THIS DAY, IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOR, WHICH IS CHRIST THE LORD. AND THIS SHALL BE A SIGN UNTO YOU; YE SHALL FIND THE BABE WRAPPED IN SWADDLING CLOTHES AND LYING IN A MANGER ((G5336) PHATNE - A CRIB FOR FODDER, MANGER OR STALL).”
AFTER JESUS WAS BORN, HE WAS LAID IN ONE OF THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB’S MANGERS, EVEN AMONGST THE SACRED TEMPLE FLOCKS, BECAUSE THIS SUBURBAN TOWN RAISED BABY LAMBS FOR TEMPLE SACRIFICE. JESUS WAS LAID IN A MANGER BECAUSE HE WAS THE WORLD AWAITED SACRIFICIAL LAMB FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD.
LAMBING TIME WAS AT THE TIME OF PASSOVER. IT SEEMS THAT NOT ONLY BABIES, BUT BABY LAMBS WERE ALSO SWADDLED FOR SAFE KEEPING WHEN THEY WERE INSPECTED TOO, PREVENTING THEM FROM INJURING THEMSELVES. THE SHEPHERD’S JOB WAS TO PROTECT THEM AS NEWBORNS AND KEEP THEM WITHOUT SPOT OR BLEMISH FOR SACRIFICE. IT WAS ONLY FROM THESE LAMBS THAT THE MANY SACRIFICES IN THE TEMPLE WERE MADE, THE MOST PRECIOUS OF ALL BEING SELECTED AS THE PERFECT PASSOVER LAMB.
EGGS, EGG YOLKS, ZYGOTES AND JOKES
THE ALTAR OF BURNT OFFERING (BRAZEN ALTAR) STOOD BETWEEN THE TEMPLE AND THE COURT. THERE ALL THE SACRIFICES WERE “SEASONED WITH SALT”. JOB 6:6, "CAN THAT WHICH IS UNSAVOURY BE EATEN WITHOUT SALT? OR IS THERE ANY TASTE IN THE WHITE OF AN EGG? " MATTHEW 5:13, "YE ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH: BUT IF THE SALT HAVE LOST HIS SAVOUR, WHEREWITH SHALL IT BE SALTED? IT IS THENCEFORTH GOOD FOR NOTHING, BUT TO BE CAST OUT, AND TO BE TRODDEN UNDER FOOT OF MEN." THE ALTAR OF INCENSE, CALLED THE GOLDEN ALTAR WAS WITHIN THE SANCTUARY IN THE HOLY PLACE BUT NOW THE LAMB OF GOD SITS IN HEAVENLY PLACES AT THE ALTAR OF INCENSE IN HEAVEN, CONTINUALLY INTERCEDING FOR US, YET MANY PREFER TO HONOR ICONS INSTEAD OF THE CHRIST, THE TEMPLE INSTEAD OF THE BODY OF CHRIST, MOUNT ZION AND MOUNT MORIAH INSTEAD INSTEAD OF THE MOUNTAIN OF GOD’S TRUTH. FOREVER PASSING OVER WHAT THE LAMB HAS ALREADY DONE FOR THEM AT PASSOVER, THEY EAT HARD BOILED EGGS WITH SALT FROM A SHAKER. LIKE GENTILES, OUR CHILDREN ARE SET UP TO HONOUR THE EASTER EGGS. WE HAVE LOST OUR SAVOUR, BUT NOT OUR SAVIOUR. HE IS STILL INTERCEDING ON OUR BEHALF.
BUT HERE IS A RIDDLE; A PLAY ON WORDS FROM MATTHEW 11:28, “COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST. TAKE MY YOKE UPON YOU AND LEARN OF ME; FOR I AM MEEK AND LOWLY IN HEART: AND YE SHALL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. FOR MY YOKE IS EASY, AND MY BURDEN LIGHT.” HA. NO JOKE. YOKE ((G2218) ZYGOS – A COUPLING, I.E. (FIGURATIVELY) SERVITUDE (A LAW OR OBLIGATION); ALSO LITERALLY THE BEAM OF THE BALANCE (AS CONNECTING SCALES):-PAIR OF BALANCES. I. A YOKE A. A YOKE THAT IS PUT ON DRAUGHT CATTLE B. METAPH. USED OF ANY BEAST OF BURDEN OR BONDAGE I. AS THAT OF SLAVERY II. OF TROUBLESOME LAWS IMPOSED ON ONE, ESP. OF THE MOSAIC LAW, HENCE THE NAME IS TRANSFERRED TO THE COMMANDS OF CHRIST AS TO CONTRAST THEM WITH THE COMMANDS OF THE PHARISEES WHICH WERE A VERITABLE ‘YOKE’; YET EVEN CHRIST’S COMMANDS MUST BE SUBMITTED TO, THOUGH EASIER TO BE KEPT).
TO UPDATE THIS CONCEPT IN THE LIGHT OF MODERN SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE, A ZYGOTE IS A CELL, THE RESULT OF A FERTILIZATION EVENT WHEN TWO GAMETES UNITE. ITS NAME ALSO COMES FROM ZYGOS (YOKE) ABOVE, BELIEVE IT OR NOT. ITS GENOME IS A COMBINATION OF DNA FROM EACH, FORMING A NEW INDIVIDUAL IN ITS EARLIEST STATE. JOHN 3:3, “JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO THEE, EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN AGAIN, HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD.” 1 PETER 1:23, “BEING BORN AGAIN, NOT OF CORRUPTIBLE SEED, BUT INCORRUPTIBLE, BY THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH LIVETH AND ABIDETH FOR EVER.” WHEN WE ARE BORN AGAIN, WE ARE NO MORE DEVELOPED THAN OUR BABIES ARE. THEY HAVE TO GROW AND LEARN PHYSICALLY. WE ARE TO GROW AND LEARN SPIRITUALLY BY EATING THE WORD OF GOD. MOST DON’T EAT THE GOOD WORD OF GOD ANYMORE THAN WE EAT GOOD FOOD. JUNK FOOD IS SOOOO TEMPTING, BECAUSE IT IS FROM SATAN. THE CREATOR KNEW EGGSACTLY WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. IT IS ALWAYS US THAT DOES NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND.

SWADDLING
THOSE POOR CREATURES
JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED AND FASTENED TO HIS SIN-POST OF WOOD TOO. WOOD ((H6086) ETE - A TREE (FROM ITS FIRMNESS, STICKS, CARPENTER, GALLOWS, HELVE, PLANK, STAFF, STOCK, TIMBER). ETES IS FROM ((H6095), ATAAH - TO FASTEN (OR MAKE FIRM), I.E. TO CLOSE (THE EYES):-SHUT).
ISAIAH 7:14, “THEREFORE THE LORD HIMSELF SHALL GIVE YOU A SIGN; BEHOLD, A VIRGIN SHALL CONCEIVE, AND BEAR A SON, AND SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL.” IMMANUEL MEANING "GOD WITH US". DID THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS NOT READ THEIR RELIGIOUS SCRIPTURES? THIS IS OLD TESTAMENT SPEAKING TO THE NEW TESTAMENT. TO ANSWER MY RHETORICAL QUESTION ABOVE, NO, THE PHARISEES DID NOT READ THE SCRIPTURES BECAUSE THE WHOLE FABRIC OF THE JEWISH SYSTEM FELL APART WHEN THEIR KINGDOMS FELL APART. AFTER DEPORTATIONS, KEY POSITIONS WERE FILLED BY NON JEWS, MOST ESPECIALLY THEIR GOD APPOINTED RELIGIOUS POSITIONS. THE HIGH PRIEST AT THE TIME OF JESUS' CRUCIFIXION WAS AN IMPOSTER.
IMMANUEL MEANS...GOD WITH US YET JESUS (GOD WITH US, JEHOVAH IS SALVATION) TAUGHT IN PARABLES. IT IS ANOTHER MYSTERY), JUST SO CERTAIN PEOPLE IN HIS PRESENCE WOULD NOT HEAR, SO THAT THE GENTILES WOULD BE ABLE TO COME INTO THE KINGDOM AHEAD OF THE JEWS. JOHN 14:6, “I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE, NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER BUT THROUGH ME.” HE PLANNED IT THAT WAY. ROMANS 11:32, “FOR GOD HATH CONCLUDED THEM ALL IN UNBELIEF, THAT HE MIGHT HAVE MERCY UPON ALL.”
BOTH JESUS AND MOSES WERE HIDDEN TO ESCAPE BEING MURDERED AS BABIES, BUT THE PAPYRUS AND THE WOOD THAT THEIR WORDS ARE WRITTEN ON STILL CRADLE THE LETTER OF THE LAW. ISAIAH 1:3, “THE OX KNOWETH HIS OWNER AND THE ASS HIS MASTER’S CRIB: BUT ISRAEL DOTH NOT KNOW, MY PEOPLE DOTH NOT CONSIDER.” ISRAEL DOES NOT KNOW, WOE. TODAY NEITHER DO THE GENTILES. JOB 39:9, “WILL THE UNICORN BE WILLING TO SERVE THEE, OR ABIDE BY THY CRIB?” ONLY IF GOD WORKS SOME MIGHTY MIRACLES MIGHTY SOON...AND HE MIGHT!
JESUS WAS WRAPPED IN SWADDLING CLOTHES. THE ANGELS TOLD THE SHEPHERDS THAT THEY WOULD FIND THE BABE WRAPPED IN SWADDLING ((G4683) SPAGANOO – TO STRAP OR WRAP WITH STRIPS, TO SWATHE, TO WRAP IN SWADDLING CLOTHES, OF AN INFANT JUST BORN FROM DERIVATIVE OF (H4682) SPARASSO – PROLONGATION THROUGH THE IDEA OF SPASMODIC CONTRACTION, TO MANGLE, I.E. CONVULSE WITH EPILEPSY:- REND, TEAR (H4685) SPAO – TO DRAW OUT, TO DRAW ONE’S SWORD.) HMMM. WOE.
THE SHEPHERDS WERE ALSO TOLD THAT JESUS WOULD BE FOUND LYING IN A MANGER. IN BETHLEHEM, THESE MANGERS WERE PLACES ON THE HILLS THAT HAD A FOUNDATION OF ROCK AND STONE, BUT WOOD COULD BE PLACED UPON IT. OUR TRADITIONAL CONCEPT OF A CRIB IS ONE OF WOOD, BUT THERE ARE MANY PICTURES ON THE INTERNET OF THEM BEING STONE. JESUS CAME AS THE ROCK, THE STONE AND THE LAW. THE LAW WAS ETCHED ONTO STONE BY THE HAND OF GOD HIMSELF, AND BY MOSES, AS A WITNESS OF TWO. THE DNA OF JESUS CARRIES THE TORAH FOR JESUS IS THE ROCK AND HE IS THE LAW. HE CAME AS A SACRIFICIAL LAMB AND AS A ROCK OF TRUTH. HE IS THE MOUNTAIN THAT SMASHES THE FEET OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S STATUE IN THE LATTER DAYS. THE LORD WORKED THROUGH THE ROMAN GOVERNMENT TO BRING ABOUT THE BIRTH OF HIS SON IN A FIELD IN BETHLEHEM. HE WORKED THROUGH THE BLOODLINE OF JOSEPH TO BRING HIM TO THE APPOINTED PLACE THROUGH THE BURDEN OF TAXATION. HE WORKED THROUGH THE CROWDS TO HAVE JESUS BORN WHERE THE LAMBS WERE BORN. HOW AMAZING. THE WORD MANGER IS A FRENCH WORD THAT MEANS TO EAT. JESUS BODY WAS LAID IN A MANGER BECAUSE HE IS THE LIVING BREAD OF THE "LAST SUPPER" THAT HE TOOK WITH HIS DISCIPLES ACCORDING TO LUKE 22:19, "...HE TOOK BREAD, AND GAVE THANKS, AND BRAKE IT, AND GAVE UNTO THEM, SAYING, THIS IS MY BODY WHICH IS GIVEN FOR YOU: THIS DO IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME." AS FLESH, WE EAT BREAD, AND AS SPIRIT, WE EAT THE WORD OF GOD. JESUS CAME AS THE LIVING WORD OF GOD TO BE BROKEN AND SHARED, INTERNATIONALLY. LIKE A CLEAN ANIMAL, WE ARE TO RUMINATE (MEDITATE) ON HIS WORD AND NOT TRAMPLE IT UNDERFOOT AS A PIG MIGHT DO.

LIVING BREAD

THE PRICE
EGYPTOLOGY, MYTHS, KING ARTHUR, CARTOONS, HOLYWOOD AND HARRY POTTER HOLD MORE SWAY TODAY THAN TO READ OF THE POTTER THAT FORMS THE CLAY. PEOPLE MIGHT NOT CONSIDER JESUS NOW, BUT THEY WILL. ISAIAH 52:15, “SO SHALL HE SPRINKLE ((H5137) NAZAH – TO SPIRT, BESPRINKLE, (ESPCIALLY IN EXPIATION):- SPRINKLE, SPURT, SPATTER, TO SPRING, LEAP, STARTLE) MANY NATIONS; THE KINGS SHALL SHUT THEIR MOUTHS AT HIM: FOR THAT WHICH HAD NOT BEEN TOLD THEM SHALL THEY SEE ((H7200) RA’AH – TO SEE LITERALLY OR FIGURATIVELY (IN NUMEROUS APPLICATIONS, DIRECT AND IMPLIED, TRANSITIVE, INTRANSITIVE AND CAUSATIVE). TODAY, THEY SAY IT IS SALIVA "SPRINKLED" THAT PASSES COVID WHICH IS AN AMALGAMATION MAN MADE TO CURE TODAY'S SOCIAL ILLS: SIMPLY GET RID OF PEOPLE! THAT IS WHY SO MANY COMMON AGENDAS...GET RID OF PEOPLE. WE HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED ON THE GEORGIA GUIDESTONES THAT OUR POPULATION IS TO BE REDUCED...BY 92%. JESUS CAME TO SAVE WITH HIS SPRINKLED BLOOD. GOD MADE THE PLANET. IF THERE ARE "TOO MANY PEOPLE" HE CAN EVEN ENLARGE THE PLANET, BELIEVE IT OR NOT.
JESUS, THIS BABY LAMB MAN WAS GOD’S MOST EXPENSIVE AND PRECIOUS FREE GIFT TO ALL MANKIND TO FORGIVE THEIR SINS. NO THANKS! WOT???? HE POURED HIS HEART OUT FOR US AND PLANNED IT FROM BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF TIME, FROM EVERLASTING. WE ARE CLUELESS AS TO WHAT THIS REALLY MEANS AND WHAT HE SUFFERED AND PAID FOR US ON OUR ACCOUNT. YES, THOSE WHO RECEIVE THE PRESENT AND DO NOT REDEEM IT, SORRY, ARE TO BE JUDGED AND EVEN CONDEMNED, NOT BY JESUS, BUT BY THEIR OWN SINFUL ACTIONS THAT WILL WITNESS AGAINST THEM ON JUDGMENT DAY. FREE CHOICE. HE GIVES US FREE CHOICE. HE VALUES OUR FREEDOM. THAT IS WHY CHRISTIAN COUNTRIES ARE FREE. THAT IS ALSO WHY WE ARE LOSING OUR FREEDOM TO SATANIC FORCES. THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST IS INSIDIOUSLY TAKING OVER EVERY FACET OF OUR SOCIETY WORLDWIDE, STARTING WITH THE ELIMINATION OF OUR CHILDREN; THE FIRST SIGN OF THE DEATH OF A NATION, FOLLOWED BY THE CORRUPT EDUCATION OF THE FEW CHILDREN THAT REMAIN. THEY ARE BEING ABUSED. JESUS CAME AS A GIFT TO THE WORLD BECAUSE WE SO DESPARATELY NEED THE LIFE AND LIGHT THAT IS IN HIM. HOWEVER, A GIFT APPROPRIATELY GIVEN, HAS THE PRICE TAG REMOVED. WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW THE VALUE. JESUS HAS NEVER REALLY SHOWN US EXACTLY WHAT HE PAID FOR OUR REDEMPTION. WE WOULD HAVE TO GO TO AN ETERNAL HELL FOR ETERNITY TO GRASP THE REALITY OF A JUDGMENT CREATED FOR DEMONS. I TRIED TO FOOL GOD AND MYSELF ONE DAY BY TELLING HIM THAT I REALLY HAD NOT FULLY UNDERSTOOD THE CONSEQUENCES OF SIN AND HELL...BUT HE REMINDED ME THAT HE HAD SENT A GUEST SPEAKER TO OUR WOMEN AGLOW MEETING IN GRANBURY, TX. SHE HAD LITERALLY BEEN THERE. I STILL REMEMBER HER TESTIMONY COMPARING IT TO AUSHWITZ AND HOW HELL WAS MILLIONS OF TIMES WORSE, THE FEAR INDESCRIBABLE, AND OUR WORDS AND LANGUAGE NOT ADEQUATE TO PORTRAY THE PERMANENT PAIN, TORMENT, HORROR AND HOPELESSNESS NOW INDELIBLY ETCHED IN HER MIND. I HOWEVER, HAD CON-VENIENTLY CHOSEN TO FORGET THAT; YEP, ON DE-NILE TOO. ARE YOU? CRUCIFIXION CAN TEAR THE HEART AND CAUSE HEART ATTACK. JESUS' HEART WOULD HAVE BEEN BROKEN WHEN HE WAS MERCILESSLY HUNG. THE PAIN WOULD HAVE BEEN "EXCRUCIATING", A WORD THAT EVEN COMES FROM THE EXTRA PAIN OF CRUCIFIXION! WHILE THE CARNALITY OF MAN IS SOFT AND TENDER, OUR CARS ARE NOT. THEY ARE MAN MADE MACHINES. THE HEART OF A CAR IS THE ENGINE BUT MAN’S GOD GIVEN, GOD DESIGNED CARNAL ENGINE IS HIS HEART. GOD IS SO SMEART. OUR MODERN DAY ENGINE IS SO NAMED BECAUSE IT IS AN INGENIUS DEVICE! REALLY, ITS NAME EVEN REFLECTS THE INGENUITY OF THE MIND BEHIND IT. HOW MUCH MORE OUR OWN HEART, THAT NOT ONLY IS THE CENTER OF THE MECHANICAL PROCESSES OF A LIVING, BREATHING OPERATUS THAT SUSTAINS US WHILE ON EARTH, BUT IT IS THE CENTER FOR THE SPIRITUAL PROCESSES TOO, AN ASPECT COMPLETELY MISSING IN OUR VEHICLES AND IN MOST WHO LOOK AFTER OUR CARNALITY. THE ENERGY CREATED IN OUR ENGINES CAN BE MEASURED, NOT IN EGGS BUT IN ERGS. MAN’S EGO READILY TAKES CREDIT FOR HIS OWN GENIUS, HIS ERGS, ...BUT HE STILL CAN’T MAKE EGGS! (OH I KNOW EGGSACTLY WHAT THOSE SMART SCIENTISTS ARE THINKING....I CAN...BUT I AM TALKING ABOUT CREATING THINGS THAT ARE NOT STOLEN OR PATENTED BY GOD.) DID YOU KNOW THAT REALLY OFFENDS HIM? CAN YOU IMAGINE THE PRICE TO PAY TO THE ONE WHO HOLDS THE COPYRIGHT ON DNA WHEN BEFORE THE ETERNAL JUDGE, WHO HAPPENS TO OWN IT? GOD DOES EVERYTHING LEGALLY AND LAWFULLY AND I MIGHT BE WRONG, BUT I THINK THE FIRST JUDGMENT ON EARTH, AT THE TIME OF NOAH, WAS BECAUSE THE FALLEN ANGELS WERE "PLAYING GOD" TOO. THERE IS A LOT OF EVIDENCE THAT CREATURES WERE BEING AMALGAMATED THEN...AND THINGS DID NOT GO WELL!
GOD HAS BUILT US ALL WITH A LIVING COMBUSTION ENGINE MADE FROM HIS OWN INGENIUS GENES AND DNA; YET ANOTHER HIDDEN MYSTERY MAPPED OUT FROM HIS OWN TEMPLE, HIS MIND. HE IS THE SUPREME MATHEMATICIAN, THE CREATOR AND PROGRAMMER OF THE MOST INTENSE LIGHTEST DARKEST DEEPEST HIGHEST BRILLIANT MATRIX EVER CONCEIVED. HIS CREATION IS INTRICATELY AND INTRINSICLY WOVEN OVER TIME AND SPACE. HE WOVE THE CURIOUS GIRDLE, ON A MUCH SMALLER SCALE, BUT HE DID NOT PREPROGRAM US. HE GAVE US ANOTHER GIFT, FREE WILL, WOW. PEOPLE "TAKE" THEIR FREEDOM SERIOUSLY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS BEING TAKEN FROM THEM. SOCIETIES TAKEN OVER BY COMMUNISM CULMINATE IN IMPRISONMENT AND DEATH IF ONE CHOOSES TO OPERATE FREELY. BRACE YOURSELF. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. THOSE THINGS THAT WE HAVE DISDAINED AND TAKEN CASUALLY AND UNGRATEFULLY WILL BE TAKEN.
I DID FIND IT CURIOUS THOUGH THAT AS I CHECKED THE SPELLING OF “INTRINSICLY” ON GOOGLE, THE EXAMPLE WAS: “MURDER IS INTRINSICALLY EVIL”. HA! THE “CURIOUS GIRDLE”((H2805) CHESHEB- 1) GIRDLE, BAND, A) INGENIOUS WORK - THE NAME OF THE GIRDLE OR BAND OF THE EPHOD FROM (H2803) CHASHAB –TO PLAIT OR INTERPENETRATE, I.E. (LITERALLY TO WEAVE OR (GENERALLY) TO FABRICATE; FIGURATIVELY, TO PLOT OR CONTRIVE (USUALLY IN A MALICIOUS SENSE): HENCE (FROM MENTAL EFFORT) TO THINK, REGARD, VALUE, COMPUTE:-N(MAKE) ACCOUNT (OF), CONCEIVE, CONSIDER, ESTEEM, FIND OUT, FORECAST, HOLD, IMAGINE, IMPUTE, INVENT, BE LIKE, MEAN, PURPOSE, RECKON(-ING BE MADE), REGARD, THINK, BE MINDFUL OF). THE EPHOD THAT THE HIGH PRIEST WORE WAS INTRICATELY WOVEN BANDS OF GOLD ORNAMENTED WITH PRECIOUS STONES; ACTUALLY IT WAS A HIGH TECH COMPUTER LIKE DEVICE THAT THE HIGH PRIEST WORE WHEN COMMUNICATING WITH GOD, BELIEVE IT OR NOT...YES OR NO? ON OR OFF? IT TOO WAS INGENIOUS.
IF GOD DESCRIBES SOMETHING AS INGENIOUS...THEN IT IS...AND SO IS HE. INGENUITY POINTS TO INTELLECT. IT TOOK INCREDIBLE INTELLECT TO DESIGN THE HUMAN BODY AND HEART AND SOUL FROM THE EARTH. THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE BREATH OF GOD BREATHED LIFE INTO US, AND OUR HEART IS THE MOST FABULOUS ENGINE EVER! IT HAS INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVES; THE SONG OF SOLOMON 8:6, SAYS: “SET ME LIKE A CYLINDER SEAL OVER YOUR HEART, LIKE A SIGNET ON YOUR ARM. FOR LOVE IS AS STRONG AS DEATH, PASSION IS AS UNRELENTING AS SHEOL, ITS FLAMES BURST FORTH, IT IS A BLAZING FLAME. (NET). KJV SAYS SET ME AS A SEAL. A SEAL SEALS A DEAL TOO AND EVEN IDENTIFIES A MAKER. (I KNOW, DIFFERENT CYLINDERS AND SEALS). MAN WOULD SAY WE HAVE NO MAKER. EXCUSE ME? THEY ARE SOOO WRONG. EVERYTHING THAT HAS ORDER TO IT IS MADE. THE MORE COMPLEX IT IS, THE MORE INTELLIGENT THE MAKER. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT BOMBS AND EXPLOSIONS CREATE...CHAOS! FOR EXAMPLE, A BABY DRAWS IN A VERY IMMATURE WAY. YOU CAN SEE WHEN A CHILD HAS DRAWN SOMETHING, YOU CAN SEE WHEN AN ADULT HAS DRAWN SOMETHING AND YOU CAN SEE WHEN AN ARTIST HAS DRAWN SOMETHING, UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN UNEDUCATED AND DECEIVED INTO BELIEVING THAT GARBAGE FROM THE PIT OF HELL, AND DEPRAVITY, IS ARTWORK. HA...SORRY, JUST DOESN’T WORK FOR ME AS "GOOD" ART. IT IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF BAD ARTWORK. THOSE ARTIST WOULD PROBABLY POINT TO MY WORK AND SEE SOMETHING IN ME THAT REALLY IRRITATES THEM TOO. I GET THAT TOO. IT STILL PROVES A POINT THOUGH, THAT THE MAKER AND CONDITION OF HIS MIND IS REFLECTED IN HIS/HER ARTWORK. I UNDERSTAND THAT DISTURBING ARTWORK PROVOKES THE MIND...AS DOES SATAN. HIS USEFULNESS IS TO CAUSE US TO TURN FROM HIM BECAUSE HIS END AND THOSE THAT FOLLOW HIM, IS CHAOS.
GOD IS OUR MAN-YOU-FACTURER. PERIOD. SYMMETRY, BALANCE AND BEAUTY ALSO POINT TO INTELLECT, NOT TO MENTION LIVING, YES LIVING, COMPUTER CODE. OUR DNA IS THE MOST FABULOUS COMPUTER PROGRAM EVER WRITTEN. ANYONE WHO BELIEVES IT RANDOMLY EVOLVED NEEDS TO RUN THE NUMBERS ON THE “CHANCES” OF THAT HAPPENING AND HAVE THEIR HEAD EXAMINED. NO REALLY, EXAMINE THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE BRAIN. IF ANY ARE GOING TO STAKE THEIR LIVES ON RANDOM INTELLIGENT CREATION, THINK AGAIN AND RUN THE NUMBERS ON THE CHANCES! THAT WOULD BE LIKE RUNNING YOUR CAR OFF A CLIFF AND EXPECTING A ROAD TO BE THERE, RANDOMLY. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE...BUT THE ODDS? TO ME IT IS REALLY ODD THAT WITH QUANTUM COMPUTERS THAT SPECIALIZE IN ODDS NONE HAVE RUN THE ODDS ON US BEING HERE BY ACCIDENT, OR AT LEAST THOSE STATISTICS ARE NOT TOUTED IN THE EDUCATION SYSTEM. MOST "ACCIDENTS" CAUSE THINGS TO BLOW UP, FALL APART, CREATE CHAOS...LIKE WHEN A BOMB GOES OFF? BIG BANG THEORY???? NAH! COME ON BOYS, YOU CAN DO BETTER. THAT IS CLICHE FROM TIMES GONE BY. IT DOES NOT FLY. JUST LOOK AT THE NEWS AFTER A HURRICANE HAS LEVELLED AN AREA. WHEN HAVE YOU EVER SEEN JUST ONE PERFECT, NEW HIGHRISE BUILDING ERECTED FROM ITS PATH THAT IS MADE ITSELF? THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE LIFE IN THEM, THEY DO NOT PROCESS FOOD AND THEY DO NOT GROW AND REPRODUCE...AND EVEN THAT IS CONSIDERED IMPOSSIBLE.
WITH HINDSIGHT VISION IN 2020, I REALISED I WAS DRIVING THE "CADILLAC" VERSION OF MY TRUSTWORTHY "CHEVROLET" SUBURBAN. FROM A DIFFERENT MAN-UFACTURER, A GMC CADILLAC SRX PROMOTES ITSELF AS A LUXURY CROSSOVER SUV. MINE IS ALSO BLOOD RED AND ALSO HAS A ROOF RACK. I EVEN HAUL FODDER, BALES OF HAY AND ALFALFA WHEN OUR OLD 2000 250 FORD MARIAH EDITION IS OUT OF COMMISSION. THE CADILLAC IS LIKE AN ENCLOSED MOBILE MANGER, AND WHEN JOHN WAS OUT OF TOWN, I OFTEN LEFT THE FEED IN THE BACK AND WOULD DRIVE AROUND MY PASTURES AND DISBURSE GRAIN TO THE HORSES AS NEEDED. GOD SUPPLIES US AND OUR HORSES AND OUR HORSE POWER WITH “FOOD AND AIR”, GAS AND OXYGEN, TO TURN CHEMICAL ENERGY INTO MECHANICAL ENERGY. HE PROVIDES US WITH ALL OF OUR PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL NEEDS. IT IS AN ABSOLUTE MIRACLE. ACTS 17:28, “FOR IN HIM WE LIVE, AND MOVE, AND HAVE OUR BEING; AS CERTAIN ALSO OF YOUR OWN POETS HAVE SAID, FOR WE ARE ALSO HIS OFFSPRING.”
WOW. NOT TO MENTION ALL THE OTHER COOL FEATURES OF HIS INCREDIBLE CAR THAT HE ALONE CREATED FOR OUR CARNALITY. WE ALSO HAVE LIVING BUILT IN A/C, SPEAKERS, MUSIC, VOLUME CONTROL, SKIN TO KEEP OUR INNARDS IN, ...ALL THE MOD CONS AND MORE... IN OUR UNIQUE PERSONALIZED DNA... AND WE HAVE THE DIRECTIONAL DEVICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AS OUR COMPASS, NOT TO MENTION THE MIRACULOUS PROCESS OF REPRODUCTION THAT DEFIES ALL ODDS, OUR INTRICATE ORGANS, BLOOD SYSTEM, NERVOUS SYSTEM, NUTRITIONAL SYSTEM, EYEBALLS...THERE IS SOMETHING TO LOOK AT. THERE ARE ABOUT 8 BILLION MODELS OF JUST HUMANS NOW ROAMING THE EARTH AND NOT ONE THE SAME AS THE OTHER, BY ACCIDENT!!!!! THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL THE BILLIONS OF CREATURES, THE SMALLER THEY ARE, THE MORE PROLIFIC THEY ARE. WE CANNOT EVEN COUNT THEM...AND EACH ONE A BRILLIANT MECHANICAL DEVICE. SO, HOW MANY NATURAL FLYING MACHINES HAVE YOU MADE TODAY? OF COURSE, EVERYTHING IS SUSTAINABLE; VEGETATION IS YET MORE PROFUSE, EVERYTHING PACKAGES OF LIVING NUTRITION FOR SOMETHING, AND VEGETATION TYPICALLY IS ROOTED. IT DOESN’T EVEN GO ANYWHERE. MORE BRILLIANT! HOW COULD WE COME TO SUCH A PERVERTED CONCLUSION THAT LIFE MADE ITSELF BY ACCIDENT? BECAUSE WE FORSOOK GOD AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN OVER TO DELUSION.
NEHEMIAH 9:19, “YET THOU IN THY MANIFOLD MERCIES FORSOOKEST THEM NOT IN THE WILDERNESS: THE PILLAR OF THE CLOUD DEPARTED NOT FROM THEM BY DAY, TO LEAD THEM IN THE WAY; NEITHER THE PILLAR OF FIRE BY NIGHT, TO SHEW THEM LIGHT, AND THE WAY WHEREIN THEY SHOULD GO.” HIS MAN-IFOLD MERCIES ARE SHOWN TO US IN THE “MEN-ORAH” TOO. THE CANDLESTICK OF THE MENORAH BURNS THE PURE OLIVE OIL IN THE SEVEN CANDLES UNITED AS ONE. AS THE CAMSHAFT DRIVES THE OIL PUMP IN OUR CARS, THE OIL UNIFIES NOT JUST OUR OWN CARNAL BODIES, BUT THE BODY OF THE WHOLE CHURCH UNITED TOGETHER SO THAT IT RUNS SMOOTHLY AND EVEN GENERATES LIGHT.
EGYPTOLOGY, MYTHS, KING ARTHUR, CARTOONS, HOLYWOOD AND HARRY POTTER HOLD MORE SWAY TODAY THAN TO READ OF THE POTTER THAT FORMS THE CLAY. PEOPLE MIGHT NOT CONSIDER JESUS NOW, BUT THEY WILL. ISAIAH 52:15, “SO SHALL HE SPRINKLE ((H5137) NAZAH – TO SPIRT, BESPRINKLE, (ESPCIALLY IN EXPIATION):- SPRINKLE, SPURT, SPATTER, TO SPRING, LEAP, STARTLE) MANY NATIONS; THE KINGS SHALL SHUT THEIR MOUTHS AT HIM: FOR THAT WHICH HAD NOT BEEN TOLD THEM SHALL THEY SEE ((H7200) RA’AH – TO SEE LITERALLY OR FIGURATIVELY (IN NUMEROUS APPLICATIONS, DIRECT AND IMPLIED, TRANSITIVE, INTRANSITIVE AND CAUSATIVE). TODAY, THEY SAY IT IS SALIVA "SPRINKLED" THAT PASSES COVID WHICH IS AN AMALGAMATION MAN MADE TO CURE TODAY'S SOCIAL ILLS: SIMPLY GET RID OF PEOPLE! THAT IS WHY SO MANY COMMON AGENDAS...GET RID OF PEOPLE. WE HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED ON THE GEORGIA GUIDESTONES THAT OUR POPULATION IS TO BE REDUCED...BY 92%. JESUS CAME TO SAVE WITH HIS SPRINKLED BLOOD. GOD MADE THE PLANET. IF THERE ARE "TOO MANY PEOPLE" HE CAN EVEN ENLARGE THE PLANET, BELIEVE IT OR NOT.
JESUS, THIS BABY LAMB MAN WAS GOD’S MOST EXPENSIVE AND PRECIOUS FREE GIFT TO ALL MANKIND TO FORGIVE THEIR SINS. NO THANKS! WOT???? HE POURED HIS HEART OUT FOR US AND PLANNED IT FROM BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF TIME, FROM EVERLASTING. WE ARE CLUELESS AS TO WHAT THIS REALLY MEANS AND WHAT HE SUFFERED AND PAID FOR US ON OUR ACCOUNT. YES, THOSE WHO RECEIVE THE PRESENT AND DO NOT REDEEM IT, SORRY, ARE TO BE JUDGED AND EVEN CONDEMNED, NOT BY JESUS, BUT BY THEIR OWN SINFUL ACTIONS THAT WILL WITNESS AGAINST THEM ON JUDGMENT DAY. FREE CHOICE. HE GIVES US FREE CHOICE. HE VALUES OUR FREEDOM. THAT IS WHY CHRISTIAN COUNTRIES ARE FREE. THAT IS ALSO WHY WE ARE LOSING OUR FREEDOM TO SATANIC FORCES. THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST IS INSIDIOUSLY TAKING OVER EVERY FACET OF OUR SOCIETY WORLDWIDE, STARTING WITH THE ELIMINATION OF OUR CHILDREN; THE FIRST SIGN OF THE DEATH OF A NATION, FOLLOWED BY THE CORRUPT EDUCATION OF THE FEW CHILDREN THAT REMAIN. THEY ARE BEING ABUSED. JESUS CAME AS A GIFT TO THE WORLD BECAUSE WE SO DESPARATELY NEED THE LIFE AND LIGHT THAT IS IN HIM. HOWEVER, A GIFT APPROPRIATELY GIVEN, HAS THE PRICE TAG REMOVED. WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW THE VALUE. JESUS HAS NEVER REALLY SHOWN US EXACTLY WHAT HE PAID FOR OUR REDEMPTION. WE WOULD HAVE TO GO TO AN ETERNAL HELL FOR ETERNITY TO GRASP THE REALITY OF A JUDGMENT CREATED FOR DEMONS. I TRIED TO FOOL GOD AND MYSELF ONE DAY BY TELLING HIM THAT I REALLY HAD NOT FULLY UNDERSTOOD THE CONSEQUENCES OF SIN AND HELL...BUT HE REMINDED ME THAT HE HAD SENT A GUEST SPEAKER TO OUR WOMEN AGLOW MEETING IN GRANBURY, TX. SHE HAD LITERALLY BEEN THERE. I STILL REMEMBER HER TESTIMONY COMPARING IT TO AUSHWITZ AND HOW HELL WAS MILLIONS OF TIMES WORSE, THE FEAR INDESCRIBABLE, AND OUR WORDS AND LANGUAGE NOT ADEQUATE TO PORTRAY THE PERMANENT PAIN, TORMENT, HORROR AND HOPELESSNESS NOW INDELIBLY ETCHED IN HER MIND. I HOWEVER, HAD CON-VENIENTLY CHOSEN TO FORGET THAT; YEP, ON DE-NILE TOO. ARE YOU? CRUCIFIXION CAN TEAR THE HEART AND CAUSE HEART ATTACK. JESUS' HEART WOULD HAVE BEEN BROKEN WHEN HE WAS MERCILESSLY HUNG. THE PAIN WOULD HAVE BEEN "EXCRUCIATING", A WORD THAT EVEN COMES FROM THE EXTRA PAIN OF CRUCIFIXION! WHILE THE CARNALITY OF MAN IS SOFT AND TENDER, OUR CARS ARE NOT. THEY ARE MAN MADE MACHINES. THE HEART OF A CAR IS THE ENGINE BUT MAN’S GOD GIVEN, GOD DESIGNED CARNAL ENGINE IS HIS HEART. GOD IS SO SMEART. OUR MODERN DAY ENGINE IS SO NAMED BECAUSE IT IS AN INGENIUS DEVICE! REALLY, ITS NAME EVEN REFLECTS THE INGENUITY OF THE MIND BEHIND IT. HOW MUCH MORE OUR OWN HEART, THAT NOT ONLY IS THE CENTER OF THE MECHANICAL PROCESSES OF A LIVING, BREATHING OPERATUS THAT SUSTAINS US WHILE ON EARTH, BUT IT IS THE CENTER FOR THE SPIRITUAL PROCESSES TOO, AN ASPECT COMPLETELY MISSING IN OUR VEHICLES AND IN MOST WHO LOOK AFTER OUR CARNALITY. THE ENERGY CREATED IN OUR ENGINES CAN BE MEASURED, NOT IN EGGS BUT IN ERGS. MAN’S EGO READILY TAKES CREDIT FOR HIS OWN GENIUS, HIS ERGS, ...BUT HE STILL CAN’T MAKE EGGS! (OH I KNOW EGGSACTLY WHAT THOSE SMART SCIENTISTS ARE THINKING....I CAN...BUT I AM TALKING ABOUT CREATING THINGS THAT ARE NOT STOLEN OR PATENTED BY GOD.) DID YOU KNOW THAT REALLY OFFENDS HIM? CAN YOU IMAGINE THE PRICE TO PAY TO THE ONE WHO HOLDS THE COPYRIGHT ON DNA WHEN BEFORE THE ETERNAL JUDGE, WHO HAPPENS TO OWN IT? GOD DOES EVERYTHING LEGALLY AND LAWFULLY AND I MIGHT BE WRONG, BUT I THINK THE FIRST JUDGMENT ON EARTH, AT THE TIME OF NOAH, WAS BECAUSE THE FALLEN ANGELS WERE "PLAYING GOD" TOO. THERE IS A LOT OF EVIDENCE THAT CREATURES WERE BEING AMALGAMATED THEN...AND THINGS DID NOT GO WELL!
GOD HAS BUILT US ALL WITH A LIVING COMBUSTION ENGINE MADE FROM HIS OWN INGENIUS GENES AND DNA; YET ANOTHER HIDDEN MYSTERY MAPPED OUT FROM HIS OWN TEMPLE, HIS MIND. HE IS THE SUPREME MATHEMATICIAN, THE CREATOR AND PROGRAMMER OF THE MOST INTENSE LIGHTEST DARKEST DEEPEST HIGHEST BRILLIANT MATRIX EVER CONCEIVED. HIS CREATION IS INTRICATELY AND INTRINSICLY WOVEN OVER TIME AND SPACE. HE WOVE THE CURIOUS GIRDLE, ON A MUCH SMALLER SCALE, BUT HE DID NOT PREPROGRAM US. HE GAVE US ANOTHER GIFT, FREE WILL, WOW. PEOPLE "TAKE" THEIR FREEDOM SERIOUSLY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS BEING TAKEN FROM THEM. SOCIETIES TAKEN OVER BY COMMUNISM CULMINATE IN IMPRISONMENT AND DEATH IF ONE CHOOSES TO OPERATE FREELY. BRACE YOURSELF. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. THOSE THINGS THAT WE HAVE DISDAINED AND TAKEN CASUALLY AND UNGRATEFULLY WILL BE TAKEN.
I DID FIND IT CURIOUS THOUGH THAT AS I CHECKED THE SPELLING OF “INTRINSICLY” ON GOOGLE, THE EXAMPLE WAS: “MURDER IS INTRINSICALLY EVIL”. HA! THE “CURIOUS GIRDLE”((H2805) CHESHEB- 1) GIRDLE, BAND, A) INGENIOUS WORK - THE NAME OF THE GIRDLE OR BAND OF THE EPHOD FROM (H2803) CHASHAB –TO PLAIT OR INTERPENETRATE, I.E. (LITERALLY TO WEAVE OR (GENERALLY) TO FABRICATE; FIGURATIVELY, TO PLOT OR CONTRIVE (USUALLY IN A MALICIOUS SENSE): HENCE (FROM MENTAL EFFORT) TO THINK, REGARD, VALUE, COMPUTE:-N(MAKE) ACCOUNT (OF), CONCEIVE, CONSIDER, ESTEEM, FIND OUT, FORECAST, HOLD, IMAGINE, IMPUTE, INVENT, BE LIKE, MEAN, PURPOSE, RECKON(-ING BE MADE), REGARD, THINK, BE MINDFUL OF). THE EPHOD THAT THE HIGH PRIEST WORE WAS INTRICATELY WOVEN BANDS OF GOLD ORNAMENTED WITH PRECIOUS STONES; ACTUALLY IT WAS A HIGH TECH COMPUTER LIKE DEVICE THAT THE HIGH PRIEST WORE WHEN COMMUNICATING WITH GOD, BELIEVE IT OR NOT...YES OR NO? ON OR OFF? IT TOO WAS INGENIOUS.

THE CANDLESTICK OF THE MENORAH BURNS THE PURE OLIVE OIL IN THE SEVEN CANDLES UNITED AS ONE. AS THE CAMSHAFT DRIVES THE OIL PUMP IN OUR CARS, THE OIL UNIFIES NOT JUST OUR OWN CARNAL BODIES, BUT THE BODY OF THE WHOLE CHURCH UNITED TOGETHER SO THAT IT RUNS SMOOTHLY AND EVEN GENERATES LIGHT.
JESUS CAME EVEN AS A DOVE TOO, AS A MESSENGER PIGEON FROM HEAVEN AS THE WORD, TO BE CAST DOWN TO THE GROUND, CRUSHED AND BROKEN AS AN OFFERING ONCE AGAIN AT PASSOVER TO SAVE THEM, HIS ACCUSERS. HE CAME BRINGING HIS FATHER’S TRUTH. HIS WINGS WERE SPREAD AND NAILED AND WITH AN OUTSTRETCHED ARM HE CRIED TO THE FATHER, “FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.
”ISAIAH 44:21-22, “REMEMBER THESE, O JACOB, AND ISRAEL; FOR THOU ART MY SERVANT: I HAVE FORMED THEE; THOU ART MY SERVANT: O ISRAEL, THOU SHALT NOT BE FORGOTTEN OF ME. I HAVE BLOTTED OUT, AS A THICK CLOUD, THY TRANSGRESSIONS, AND, AS A CLOUD,THY SINS: RETURN UNTO ME; FOR I HAVE REDEEMED THEE.”
TODAY, MANY OF OUR SINS ARE LITERALLY IN YET ANOTHER THICK CLOUD, ICLOUD I THINK; FULL OF MESSAGES AND TWEETS THAT FLY FROM THE WINDOWS OF OUR TECHNOLOGY. SATAN WILL UTILIZE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING, WORDS, DEEDS, PICTURES ETC. THAT HE CAN, TO USE AGAINST US, THAT TESTIFY AGAINST US, BECAUSE SATAN IS THE ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN. LIKE A JEALOUS SIBLING, HE LOVES NOTHING MORE THAN TO GET US IN TROUBLE!!!! EVEN THOSE WHO HAVE SWORN ALLEGIANCE TO HIM AND ARE CLOSEST TO HIM, THOSE WHO HAVE SACRIFICED TO HIM...HE LOVES THEM TO SUFFER AFTER HE HAS USED THEM UP AND DECIEVED THEM. THAT IS LITERALLY WHY MANY MEN WHO HAD PROMINENT STAR STUDDED LIVES ARE NOW INCARCERATED. SATAN REJOICES WHEN THOSE WHO USED TO SERVE HIM ARE PUNISHED. WATCH HOLLYWOOD AND JUDGE HOW IT JUDGES ITS OWN...TO MAKE MONEY. MARY AND JOSEPH WERE DILIGENT TO FULFILL ALL OF GOD’S HOLY ORDINANCES. LUKE 2:34-35, “AND SIMEON BLESSED THEM, AND SAID UNTO MARY HIS MOTHER, BEHOLD, THIS CHILD IS SET FOR THE FALL AND RISING AGAIN OF MANY IN ISRAEL: AND FOR A SIGN WHICH SHALL BE SPOKEN AGAINST; (YEA, A SWORD SHALL PIERCE THROUGH THY OWN SOUL ALSO,) THAT THE THOUGHTS OF MANY HEARTS MAY BE REVEALED.” JESUS WAS PIERCED FOR US.
ABRAHAM FEARED GOD IN A VERY HEALTHY RESPECTFUL WAY. GENESIS 22:9, “AND THEY CAME TO THE PLACE WHICH GOD HAD TOLD HIM OF; AND ABRAHAM BUILT AN ALTAR THERE, AND LAID THE WOOD IN ORDER, AND BOUND ISAAC HIS SON, AND LAID HIM UPON THE WOOD.” WOULD THAT BE CRIBBING WOOD TOO? THEN GOD INTERVENED ON MOUNT MORIAH. GENESIS 22:12-14, “AND HE SAID, LAY NOT YOUR HAND ON THE LAD, NEITHER DO THOU ANYTHING UNTO HIM: FOR NOW I KNOW THAT THOU FEAREST GOD, SEEING THOU HAST NOT WITHHELD THY SON, THINE ONLY SON FROM ME. AND ABRAHAM LIFTED UP HIS EYES, AND LOOKED, AND BEHOLD BEHIND HIM A RAM CAUGHT IN A THICKET BY HIS HORNS: AND ABRAHAM WENT AND TOOK THE RAM, AND OFFERED HIM UP FOR A BURNT OFFERING IN THE STEAD OF HIS SON.” EVEN AS JESUS WAS OFFERED UP FOR US.
WHEN IS A SACRIFICE NOT A SACRIFICE? WHEN IT DOES NOT HAVE WORTH! BECAUSE HE WAS TO BE BORN A SACRIFICIAL LAMB, JESUS HAD TO HAVE WORTH; FOR WORTHY IS THE LAMB. HE WAS BORN ON THE JEBUSITE SITE, WHERE LAMBS WERE RAISED TO BE SACRIFICED, THE THRESHINGFLOOR FOR THE WHOLE EARTH, BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BY KING DAVID. WAS IT COINCIDENCE THAT THIS CHILD HAPPENED TO BE PLACED IN THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB’S MANGER? IT WAS A MOST PECULIAR THING FOR A HUMAN BABY TO BE PLACED IN A LAMB’S MANGER, UNLESS YOU WERE A LAMB MAN, A SUBSTITUTE LIKE THE RAM GIVEN TO ABRAHAM TO SAVE ABRAHAM’S SON.
HEBREWS 2:14-17, “FORASMUCH THEN AS THE CHILDREN ARE PARTAKERS OF FLESH AND BLOOD, HE ALSO HIMSELF LIKEWISE TOOK PART OF THE SAME; THAT THROUGH DEATH HE MIGHT DESTROY HIM THAT HAD POWER OF DEATH, THAT IS, THE DEVIL; AND DELIVER THEM WHO THROUGH FEAR OF DEATH WERE ALL THEIR LIFETIME SUBJECT TO BONDAGE. FOR VERILY HE TOOK NOT ON HIM THE NATURE OF ANGELS; BUT HE TOOK ON HIM THE SEED OF ABRAHAM. WHEREFORE IN ALL THINGS IT BEHOVED HIM TO BE MADE LIKE UNTO HIS BRETHREN, THAT HE MIGHT BE A MERCIFUL AND FAITHFUL HIGH PRIEST IN THINGS PERTAINING TO GOD, TO MAKE RECONCILIATION FOR THE SINS OF THE PEOPLE.”
ACCORDING TO DANIEL 9:24 HE WILL FINISH THE TRANSGRESSION, MAKE AN END OF SINS, MAKE RECONCILIATION FOR INIQUITY AND BRING IN EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS.” THEN THE VISION IS SEALED. HE IS COMING AGAIN TO FINISH BRINGING IN EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS. IN JERUSALEM, JESUS WAS TOTALLY PASSED OVER! HE TOLD THEM, HE QUOTED THEIR SCRIPTURE, BUT THEY REFUSED; INSTEAD, THEY TREATED HIM LIKE REFUSE AND CUT HIM DOWN IN THE PRIME OF LIFE AND THEIR OWN MESSIAH WAS CUT OFF AND SACRIFICED EVEN AS THEIR PASS OVER LAMB, BUT IT TOO HAD TO BE, FOR OUR SAKES.
TODAY, MANY OF OUR SINS ARE LITERALLY IN YET ANOTHER THICK CLOUD, ICLOUD I THINK; FULL OF MESSAGES AND TWEETS THAT FLY FROM THE WINDOWS OF OUR TECHNOLOGY.

IT WAS STILL ALL ACCORDING TO PLAN. PSALM 2:6, “YET HAVE I SET MY KING UPON MY HOLY HILL ZION.” SO? SO LOOK AT WHAT “SET” MEANS. ((h5258) NASAK – I. TO POUR OUT, POUR, OFFER, CAST A. i. TO POUR OUT ii. TO CAST METAL IMAGES iii. TO ANOINT (A KING) B. TO BE ANOINTED C. TO POUR OUT (AS A LIBATION) D. TO POUR OUT LIBATIONS E. TO BE POURED OUT II. TO SET, INSTALL A. TO INSTALL B. TO BE INSTALLED).
THE ROMANS ATTACHED A SIGN OVER JESUS ON THE CROSS ACCORDING TO MATTHEW 27:37, “AND SET UP OVER HIS HEAD HIS ACCUSATION WRITTEN, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS”. THIS HAD TO COME FROM THE ROMAN GOVERNMENT BECAUSE THAT GOVERNMENT WAS IN CHARGE AT THAT TIME. IT WAS A LEGAL DETERMINATION. JOHN 19:33-34, “BUT WHEN THEY CAME TO JESUS, AND SAW THAT HE WAS DEAD ALREADY, THEY BRAKE NOT HIS LEGS: BUT ONE OF THE SOLDIERS WITH A SPEAR PIERCED HIS SIDE, AND FORTHWITH CAME THERE OUT BLOOD AND WATER.”
ZECHARIAH 12:10, “AND I WILL POUR UPON THE HOUSE OF DAVID, AND UPON THE INHABITANTS OF JERUSALEM, THE SPIRIT OF GRACE AND OF SUPPLICATIONS: AND THEY SHALL LOOK UPON ME WHOM THEY HAVE PIERCED, AND THEY SHALL MOURN FOR HIM, AS ONE MOURNETH FOR HIS ONLY SON, AND SHALL BE IN BITTERNESS FOR HIM, AS ONE THAT IS IN BITTERNESS FOR HIS FIRSTBORN SON.”
JESUS’ DEAD BODY WAS TAKEN DOWN FROM THE CROSS AS HIS MURDERERS READIED FOR THEIR RELIGIOUS FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD. SUCH IRONY. THOSE THAT PREPARED TO WORSHIP GOD HAD JUST MURDERED HIS SON! THIS WAS A FEAST WHERE THE BREAD COULD HAVE NO LEAVEN OR YEAST IN IT, THAT YEAR, ABOUT 2,000 YEARS AGO, JESUS WAS THE UNIQUE FEAST IN-CAR-NATE, MADE OF THE BEST BREAD FROM BETHLEHEM, BETHLEHEM MEANING “HOUSE OF BREAD”, REJECTED.
HOLY THING
WHEN THE VIRGIN MARY CONCEIVED JESUS CHRIST, AN ANGEL TOLD MARY, “THE HOLY GHOST SHALL COME UPON YOU, AND THE POWER OF THE HIGHEST SHALL OVERSHADOW YOU, THEREFORE ALSO THAT HOLY THING WHICH SHALL BE BORN OF YOU SHALL BE CALLED THE SON OF THE MOST HIGH.” LEVITICUS 5:16, “AND HE SHALL MAKE AMENDS FOR THE HARM THAT HE HATH DONE IN THE HOLY THING ((H6944) QODESH – FROM (H6942), A SACRED PLACE OR THING; RARELY ABSTRACT, SANCTITY:-CONSECRATED (THING), DEDICATED (THING), HALLOWED (THING), HOLINESS, (X MOST) HOLY (XDAY, PORTION, THING) SAINT, SANCTUARY. (H6942) QADASH – TO BE (CAUSATIVELY, MAKE, PRONOUNCE OR OBSERVE AS) CLEAN (CEREMONIALLY OR MORALLY):- APPOINT, BID, CONSECRATE, DEDICATE, DEFILE, HALLOW, (BE, KEEP) HOLY(ER, PLACE), KEEP, PROCLAIM, PURIFY, SANCTIFY(IED ONE,SELF),X WHOLLY) AND SHALL ADD THE FIFTH PART THERETO, AND GIVE IT UNTO THE PRIEST: AND THE PRIEST SHALL MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR HIM WITH THE RAM OF THE TRESPASS OFFERING, AND IT SHALL BE FORGIVEN HIM.”
HA, HAGGIS IN SCOTLAND IS A VERY UNUSUAL THING COMPRISED OF A SHEEPS HEART, LIVER AND LUNGS. THE HOLY THING IN THE BIBLE WAS A SACRIFICE OFFERED FOR SINS THAT HAD BEEN COMMITTED. JESUS CAME NOT AS HAGGIS, A DEAD SHEEPS HEART BUT HAGIOS ((G40) HAGIOS – SACRED, (PHYSICALLY, PURE, MORALLY BLAMELESS OR RELIGIOUS, CEREMONIALLY, CONSECRATED MOST) HOLY (ONE, THING), SAINT. FROM (G53) HAGNOS – CLEAN, INNOCENT, MODEST, CHASTE, EXCITING REVERENCE, VENERABLE, SACRED, PURE FROM CARNALITY, PURE FROM EVERY FAULT, IMMACULATE) AND FROM (G2280) THALPO – TO WARM, TO BROOD, I.E. (FIGURATIVELY) TO FOSTER:- CHERISH, TO KEEP WARM WITH TENDER LOVE, TO FOSTER WITH TENDER CARE). WOW, “TO KEEP WARM WITH TENDER LOVE”. HERE, WOULD YOU LIKE A PEACE?
EXODUS 29:38, “NOW THIS IS THAT WHICH THOU SHALT OFFER UPON THE ALTAR; TWO LAMBS OF THE FIRST YEAR DAY BY DAY CONTINUALLY. THE ONE LAMB THOU SHALT OFFER IN THE MORNING ((H1242) BOQER – DAWN, BREAK OF DAY FROM (H1239) BAQAR - ENQUIRE, SEEK, SEARCH, LOOK FOR, REFLECT, PLOUGHING, LOOK AT, INSPECT DILIGENTLY, TO PUNISH HIM, CONTEMPLATE); AND THE OTHER ((H8145) SHENIY – DOUBLE, SECOND, AGAIN) LAMB THOU SHALT OFFER AT EVEN.” THERE REALLY DOES SEEM TO BE TWO OF EVERYTHING. THERE WERE TWO LAMBS OFFERED CONTINUALLY, AND THERE WERE TWO PASSOVER LAMBS TOO, MAYBE THREE BECAUSE THE WORK OF JESUS ON THE CROSS IS FINISHED...BUT NOW HE HAS SOME BUSINESS TO ATTEND TO ...FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, AND THERE IS A LAMB SEEN IN HEAVEN IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION IN CHAPTER 19...GETTING READY FOR A WEDDING! A BIG MARRIAGE SUPPER IS BEING PLANNED!
WE ARE SHOWN A NEW JERUSALEM COMING DOWN OUT OF HEAVEN AND REVELATION 21:22 SAYS, “AND I SAW NO TEMPLE THEREIN: FOR THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY AND THE LAMB ARE THE TEMPLE OF IT. 21:27 GOES ON THE SAY, “AND THERE SHALL IN NO WISE ENTER INTO IT ANY THING THAT DEFILETH, NEITHER WHATSOEVER WORKETH ABOMINATION, OR MAKETH A LIE: BUT THEY WHICH ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE.” DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING TO HEAVEN? LET'S READ THAT AGAIN. "AND THERE SHALL IN NO WISE ENTER INTO IT ANY THING THAT DEFILETH, NEITHER WHATSOEVER WORKETH ABOMINATION, OR MAKETH A LIE: BUT THEY WHICH ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE." I CANNOT JUDGE MYSELF, LET ALONE ANYONE ELSE, BUT I DO THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT SERIOUSLY!
JESUS CAME DOWN FROM THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, FOLLOWING BEHIND THE SACRIFICIAL LAMBS. THE PASSOVER INSTITUTED IN EGYPT REPRESENTED FREEDOM FROM SLAVERY, THE LAMB REPRESENTED FREEDOM FROM THE SLAVERY OF SIN. JESUS, THEY THOUGHT, REPRESENTED THEIR EARTHLY DELIVERER; SOMEONE WHO WOULD BREAK THE OPPRESSION OF THE ROMANS AND THEIR HELLENISTIC WAYS, AND EVIL HERODS/PHARAOHS THAT MASSACRED THEIR CHILDREN AND HEAPED UNFAIR TAXES ON THEM. IT'S COMING!
ZECHARIAH 9:9, “REJOICE GREATLY, O DAUGHTER OF ZION; SHOUT, O DAUGHTER OF JERUSALEM; BEHOLD, YOUR KING COMES TO YOU; HE IS JUST, AND HAVING SALVATION; LOWLY, AND RIDING ON AN ASS, AND UPON A COLT, THE FOAL OF AN ASS.” MOSES DEFEATED THE EGYPTIAN GODS, DANIEL DEFEATED THE BABYLONIAN GODS BUT NOW THE ROMAN GODS WERE ROAMIN’ ALL OVER JERUSALEM AND THE UNDERWORLD, UNDERMINING EVERYTHING SACRED AND TRYING TO CATCH PEOPLE. THEY WERE GOING TO BE ALLOWED FREE REIN FOR 2,000 MORE YEARS DURING THE AGE OF THE GENTILES IN WHICH TO TEST AND SIFT MEN’S HEARTS AND TO SPEAK TO THE REMNANT THAT HAS BEEN DISPERSED ALL OVER THE EARTH.
THIS WAS NOT WHAT THE CROWDS ANTICIPATED. THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A WORLDLY EMANCIPATOR TO LIBERATE THEIR NATION, NOT A SPIRITUAL LIBERATOR TO FORGIVE THEM OF THEIR SINS AND GIVE THEM ETERNAL LIFE. JESUS CAME TO TAKE AWAY THEIR CONDEM-NATION THAT WAS IN THE HANDS AND RULERSHIP OF SATAN. IT WAS PERSONAL; THOSE WHO ACCEPTED HIS TRAVAIL WOULD BECOME CITIZENS OF HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IT WAS NOT TEMPORAL BUT LIFE EVERLASTING. ISAIAH 33:22, “FOR THE LORD IS OUR JUDGE, THE LORD IS OUR LAWGIVER, THE LORD IS OUR KING; HE WILL SAVE US.”
THEN THE ADORING CROWDS LAID PALM BRANCHES, SYMBOLIZING VICTORY, ON THE ROAD FOR JESUS AS HE APPROACHED THROUGH THE SHEEP GATE, STILL NOT KNOWING THAT HE CAME AS THEIR SACRED SACRIFICIAL LAMB, RIDING ON AN ASS. THERE WERE SEVERAL GATES TO THE CITY OF JERUSALEM, BUT EVERY YEAR AT PASSOVER, THE LAMBS WERE LED INTO THE CITY THROUGH A SPECIAL GATE CALLED THE SHEEP GATE, AMIDST SINGING, SCRIPTURES AND CELEBRATION OF THE PASSOVER FEAST OR MO’ED.
PSALM 19:11, “BY THEM (THE STATUTES OF THE LORD) IS THY SERVANT WARNED: AND IN KEEPING OF THEM IS GREAT REWARD. WHO CAN UNDERSTAND HIS ERRORS? CLEANSE THOU ME FROM SECRET FAULTS. KEEP BACK THY SERVANT FROM PRESUMPTIOUS SINS; LET THEM NOT HAVE DOMINION OVER ME: THEN SHALL I BE UPRIGHT, AND I SHALL BE INNOCENT FROM THE GREAT TRANSGRESSION ((H6588) PASHA – A REVOLT (NATIONAL, MORAL OR RELIGIOUS):-REBELLION, SIN, TRANSGRESSION, TRESPASS. FROM (H6586) PASHA - TO BREAK AWAY FROM JUST AUTHORITY, I.E. TRESPASS, APOSTATIZE, QUARREL:-OFFEND, REBEL, REVOLT, TRANSGRESSION. FROM (HH6585) PASA – A PRIMITIVE ROOT; TO STRIDE (FROM SPREADING THE LEGS) I.E. RUSH UPON:-GO, MARCH, STEP FORWARD)." IN AMERICA, MUCH IS MADE OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION...BUT WHAT ABOUT THIS GREAT TRANSGRESSION? REALLY, ITS DEPRESSING. I HAVE LIVED IN AMERICA AND GREAT BRITAIN; BOTH LIVING THE GREAT TRANSGRESSION THAT BRINGS ON NATIONAL CALAMITIES AND CONSEQUENTLY GREAT DEPRESSION BECAUSE THEY HAVE FORSAKEN THE LORD AND HIS COVENANTS. SIN IS A VERY VERY HEAVY BURDEN. WE ARE ON THIN ICE WHO HAVE KNOWINGLY TRANSGRESSED GOD’S LAWS, ESPECIALLY AS CHRISTIANS. LEVITICUS 26:3, "IF YE WALK IN MY STATUTES, AND KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, AND DO THEM; THEN I WILL GIVE YOU RAIN IN DUE SEASON, AND THE LAND SHALL YIELD HER INCREASE, AND THE TREES OF THE FIELD SHALL YIELD THEIR FRUIT. AND YOUR THRESHING SHALL REACH UNTO THE SOWING TIME; AND YE SHALL EAT.
ZECHARIAH 12:10, “AND I WILL POUR UPON THE HOUSE OF DAVID, AND UPON THE INHABITANTS OF JERUSALEM, THE SPIRIT OF GRACE AND OF SUPPLICATIONS: AND THEY SHALL LOOK UPON ME WHOM THEY HAVE PIERCED, AND THEY SHALL MOURN FOR HIM, AS ONE MOURNETH FOR HIS ONLY SON, AND SHALL BE IN BITTERNESS FOR HIM, AS ONE THAT IS IN BITTERNESS FOR HIS FIRSTBORN SON.”
