BOOK OF LIFE
TREE OF LIFE
Water, bread, breath, path, fountain, well of LIFE.
TREE of KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL
BLOTTED OUT
This study will show that the book, tree, water, bread, breath, path, fountain, and well of LIFE all refer to Yahshua Christ. If we follow The Way, seek His face, obey His commands, study to show ourselves approved, observe His feast days and sabbaths, love our kinsmen, repent daily and continue to live a true Christian life, we will remain in His Book of LIFE.
It is when we do not do these things that we will be in danger of being BLOTTED OUT.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man goes to the Father, but through Me.
Genesis 2:7 And Yahweh God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Jasher 1:2 And God formed man from the ground, and He blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul endowed with speech.
When Yahweh breathed the breath of life into Adam, He put His DNA into Adam. Adam is the father of the generations (race) of people that scripture records. When our race follows the example Christ set, we will be eligible to receive what Adam had and lost. That would be life, and of course a body of Shekinah Glory.
'Breath' in verse 7 is neshamah (H5397). Divine inspiration, intellect, soul, spirit.
Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground made Yahweh God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
The tree of life is the pure, unmixed DNA of Yahweh. The genetics of Adam.
Some say the tree of knowledge of good and evil is the law, others say it is the Nephilim, or offspring of the serpent.
The Septuagint has: “...and the tree of learning the knowledge of good and evil.”
Genesis 2:16 And Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you mayest freely eat:
Eat can be taken literally or figuratively, meaning partake. Only one of the meanings refers to eating food. It also means to lay with sexually, but not here in verse 16.
2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shalt not eat of it: for in the day that you eatest thereof you shalt surely die.
This eating would refer to race mixing. Verse 16 is the literal meaning of eat. Verse 17 is the figurative meaning of eat.
Since day is age or eon, Adam would die in this age. He obviously did not immediately die.
When we partake in evil, we are rejecting the knowledge of good, hence death.
Genesis 3:22 And Yahweh God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
The Hebrew has “...the man is become a scribe as one of us,...”. The scribe part has to do with the gaining of knowledge.
Before they sinned, Adam and Eve did not know evil. Flesh that knows evil cannot be allowed to have immortality.
3:23 Therefore Yahweh God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
Adam and Eve are driven out from the sinless Eden because of their disobedience, their knowledge gained through race mixing.
3:24 So He drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Jubilees 3:28-29
28 And on that day was closed the mouth of all beasts, and of cattle, and of birds, and of whatever walks, and of whatever moves, so that they could no longer speak: for they had all spoken one with another with one lip and with one tongue.
29 And He sent out of the Garden of Eden all flesh that was in the Garden of Eden, and all flesh was scattered according to its kinds, and according to its types unto the places which had been created for them.
Adam was sent by Yahweh to be superintendent of earth. To fix what Satan profaned and violated, and to restore the original creation. But he failed and disobeyed Yahweh and because of this he fell, hence the fall of Adam. He lost his Shekinah glory (incorruptible body) and became mortal. But this is all part of Yahweh's plan. This life is a test, a trial. If we obey and follow Yahweh's laws and commands, we will be preserved (saved) and ultimately LIVE.
Genesis 6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
'Breath' here in verse 17, is ruach (H7307). Breathe, exhalation.
Adam was the first with the breath of life (DNA, Spirit). His direct descendants became so corrupt that Yahweh was going to start over with Noah, who was evidently righteous.
6:18 But with you will I establish My covenant; and you shalt come into the ark, you, and your sons, and your wife, and your sons' wives with you.
Genesis 7:15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
'Breath' here in verse 15, is ruach (H7307). Breathe, exhalation.
The animals of the land where the flood occurred were preserved as well.
The flood is a model that shows us that when we, who are born into a holy family, disobey, we will be purged. Either by being destroyed, or by preservation because of daily practice of righteousness.
Genesis 7:20 Fifteen cubits (22 ½ ') upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains (hills) were covered.
This would not be enough to cover the earth, but it would fill up the Tamarim Basin, and cover the hills in it.
7:21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth (land), both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
Man is H120 awdawm. All the corrupted Adamites in the land died, along with the giants and descendants of Cain.
7:22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
Verse 22 has ruach as well as neshamah. This shows that the creation that Yahweh made, being the animals and now corrupted Adamites with ruach, were destroyed as well as the children of Cain and the Nephilim giants with neshamah. A great purging, and only Noah and his family were preserved.
Chapter 32 is about the golden calf.
Exodus 32:1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
The people, stuck in their pagan ways, have no patience and pressure Aaron into making an idol.
Moses was a true patriot and loved his people (race). He has simmered down Yahweh's anger against our ancestors in the wilderness more than once.
When Moses came down from the mountain with the tables of stone, and saw the people worshiping the golden calf, he broke the tables of stone in anger, and burnt and ground the calf into powder and made the people drink it.
Blatant paganism with an orgy.
32:26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on Yahweh's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.
32:27 And he said unto them, Thus saith Yahweh God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.
32:28 And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
32:29 For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to Yahweh, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that He may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
We must understand that Yahweh took His chosen people by the hand out of captivity, tried them in the desert, purged and slayed many of them, instructed them about His ways and requirements and how they were to live and worship when they got to the Promised Land and they did not understand fully what was going on. Their old pagan habits and disobedience had to be purged.
The Levites chose Yahweh, and they are turned loose in the camp to slay idolators. They killed friends, and family members that worshiped the calf. This gets them the priesthood, as Yahweh is more important than even family. Christ said anyone that loved anything or anyone more than Him was not fit to enter the Kingdom of Yahweh.
32:30 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto Yahweh; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.
32:31 And Moses returned unto Yahweh, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
32:32 Yet now, if You wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray You, out of Your book which You hast written.
32:33 And Yahweh said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against Me, him will I blot out of My book.
Yahweh tells him only the sinners will be punished (blotted out).
32:34 Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto you: behold, Mine Messenger shall go before you: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
This is also a reference to the second advent of Yahshua the Christ.
32:35 And Yahweh plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
Chapter 9 is a second telling of the events surrounding the golden calf in Exodus.
Deuteronomy 9:14 Let Me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven (the sky): and I will make of you (Moses) a nation mightier and greater than they.
Yahweh made His displeasure of Israel's disobedience known that He stated that He would destroy the whole nation of Israel (Jacob's seed) and start over with Moses' seed.
Deuteronomy 20:16 But of the cities of these people, which Yahweh your God doth give you for an inheritance, you shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:
These are cities of the cursed seed nations.
20:17 But you shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as Yahweh your God hath commanded you:
20:18 That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against Yahweh your God.
20:19 When you shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, you shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for you mayest eat of them, and you shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man's life) to employ them in the siege:
4Maccabees 2:13 And think it not a strange assertion that reasoning can in behalf of the law conquer even enmity.
14 It alloweth not to cut down the cultivated herbage of an enemy, but preserveth it from the destroyers, and collecteth their fallen ruins.
20:20 Only the trees which you knowest that they be not trees for meat, you shalt destroy and cut them down; and you shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with you, until it be subdued.
All of the cursed seedline are to be killed, including the women and children. This insured that the worship practices of the false gods were not learned, and the sexual mixing of pure Israel with the cursed seeds did not occur. A mixed blood is a disqualifying pollution of the Holy seedline.
In verse 19, (for the tree of the field is man's life). We need physical meat (food) for our physical bodies to live. We must have the pure blood of Adam running through our veins and follow the way and the truth of Yahshua Christ to be preserved in this mortal life and be eligible for life in the Kingdom.
Chapter 29 teaches us to keep the covenant.
Deuteronomy 29:18 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from Yahweh our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;
Original Greek: Hebrews 12:15 Watching closely that not any are lacking from the favor of Yahweh, “lest any root of bitterness springing up” would trouble you and by it many would be defiled,
29:19 And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:
Referring to today's “church” teachings. That the law was “done away” with and that they are “saved” and just awaiting the “rapture”.
The Hebrew ends as: 19 “...though I walk in the stubbornness of my mind, to snatch away the moist and the dry.
29:20 Yahweh will not spare him, but then the anger of Yahweh and His jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and Yahweh shall blot out his name from under heaven (the sky).
So much for “personal salvation”. Declaring oneself “saved” is not taught in scripture. Yahweh will blot out those who lack understanding and knowledge.
29:21 And Yahweh shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:
When we believe what original scripture teaches, and follow it, we remain in the book of life.
When we believe what the “churches” teach, and stubbornly follow it, we are in danger of being blotted out.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee.
2Samuel 7:15 But My mercy shall not depart away from him (David), as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.
Septuagint: 7:15 But My mercy I will not take from him, as I took it from those whom I removed from My presence.
Was Saul blotted out?
Although Solomon race mixed and went after other gods in his old age, this verse may answer if we will see him or Saul again, because there are no verses stating that they repented.
1Samuel 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou (Saul) hast rejected the word of Yahweh, He hath also rejected thee from being king.
28 And Samuel said unto him, Yahweh hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou.
2Kings 14:27 And Yahweh said not that He would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven (the sky): but He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam II the son of Jehoash.
No matter when in history, or in the future, will the children of Israel be blotted out entirely. Yahweh will never break His promise and covenant with our father Abraham. Most of us will be blotted out, but the faithful (loyal and in allegiance) will be the preserved (saved) remnant.
Psalm 16 foretells the resurrection of Yahshua Christ.
Psalm 16:8 I have set Yahweh always before me: because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh (body) also shall rest (dwell) in hope (security).
16:10 For You wilt not leave my soul in hell (the grave); neither wilt You suffer thine Holy One to see corruption (the pit of destruction).
Acts 13:35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer Thine Holy One to see corruption.
Hell is the land of the dead, the grave.
The Hebrew has pit of destruction where the KJV has corruption. Pit of destruction is closer to the hell concept. Corruption is what gets you there.
Psalm 16:11 You wilt shew me (make me to know) the path of life: in Your presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Acts 2:25 For David speaketh concerning Him, I foresaw Yahweh always before my face, for He is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
The path to life is to follow His example. It's more than “just believing”.
Psalm 36:9 For with You is the fountain of life: in Your light shall we see light.
36:10 O continue Your lovingkindness unto them that know You; and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
36:11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me (make me flee).
36:12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
Psalm 51:1 A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of Your tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
Psalm 51 is a prayer of repentance.
David knew that without repentance and practicing righteousness there is a danger of being blotted out.
51:9 Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right (faithful, loyal) spirit within me.
51:11 Cast me not away from Your presence; and take not Your holy spirit from me.
Palsm 69:18 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine (hated) enemies.
69:28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
David prayed for Yahweh to blot out his enemies.
Psalm 80:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannimeduth (Lilies of the Covenant), A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, You that leadest Joseph like a flock; You that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
80:2 Before (In the sight of) Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up Your strength, and come and save us.
80:3 Turn us again (Restore us), O God, and cause Your face to shine; and we shall be saved.
80:4 O YAHWEH God of hosts, how long wilt You be angry against the prayer of Your people?
80:5 You feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
80:6 You makest us a strife (as a contention) unto our neighbours: and our (hated) enemies laugh among themselves.
80:7 Turn us again (Restore us), O God of hosts, and cause Your face to shine; and we shall be saved.
80:8 You hast brought a vine out of Egypt: You hast cast out the heathen (nations), and planted it.
Vine is a metaphor for Israel.
80:9 You preparedst room before it (You turned Your face toward it), and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
80:10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
Boughs is a metaphor for each tribe of Israel. The tribes traveled by foot and by ship to distant lands, and into Europe and eventually America.
80:11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches (young shoots) unto the river.
80:12 Why hast You then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
Broken down her hedges means taken away her protection.
80:13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
Alien nations take away her strength. This same thing is happening in America today.
80:14 Return, we beseech You, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
80:15 And the vineyard which Your right hand hath planted, and the branch that You madest strong for Yourself.
The Hebrew has root where the KJV put vineyard. The root is Jesse.
And branch should be son. The son is David.
Adam, David, Christ, the white nations of the world are all of the same tree. The generations of Adam (Gen 5:1). Yahweh's people in the world which have His Spirit (DNA). The Jews and the mixed races are the Devil's people in the world.
David prays for the blotting out of the descendants of Cain and Esau.
Psalm 109:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hold not Your peace, O God of my praise;
109:2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
109:3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
109:4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
Hebrew: 4 Instead of love they are my accusers: but I pray.
109:5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
Hebrew: 5 They have put evil upon me instead of good, and hatred instead of love.
109:6 Set you a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
Satan also refers to accuser. Satan's children are false accusers. The descendants of Cain and Esau. These would be the Jews.
109:7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
109:8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
109:9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
109:10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
Genesis 4:12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the land.
13 And Cain said unto Yahweh, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the land; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the land;
109:11 Let the extortioner (creditor) catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
109:12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
109:13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
109:14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Yahweh; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
109:15 Let them be before Yahweh continually, that He may cut off the memory of them from the earth (land).
109:16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
109:17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
This entire Psalm is one major curse on David's enemies.
The “churches” teach that you should love your enemies and that you should love the sinner and hate the sin. These are NOT scriptural teachings.
We are to love the enemies of our own race, but cast them out if they do not repent and conform to Yahweh's Ways.
David clearly hates and curses his enemies of the cursed seed. Yahweh declares He will destroy (blot out) and erase them in Obadiah and throughout the scriptures.
The blessing of wisdom and understanding
Proverbs 2:1 My son, if you wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with you;
2:2 So that you incline your ear unto wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;
2:3 Yea, if you criest after knowledge, and liftest up your voice for understanding;
2:4 If you seekest her (wisdom and understanding) as silver, and searchest for her (wisdom and understanding) as for hid treasures;
2:5 Then shalt you understand the fear of Yahweh, and find the knowledge of God.
2:6 For Yahweh giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
1Kings 3:9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?
James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
2:7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: He is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
Psalm 84:11 For Yahweh God is a sun and shield: Yahweh will give grace (favor) and glory: no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.
2:8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of His saints.
1Samuel 2:9 He will keep the feet of His saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
2:9 Then shalt you (who walk uprightly) understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
2:10 When wisdom entereth into your heart (understanding), and knowledge is pleasant unto your soul;
2:11 Discretion shall preserve you, understanding shall keep you:
Septuagint: 11 good counsel shall guard thee,
Holy means set apart, dedicated. Saints are the children of Israel. The set apart seed of Jacob. When we have knowledge and understanding of who we really are and Whose we are, and we strive to walk uprightly, we will be preserved in this life, and remain in the book of life, and will not be blotted out. Christ is our model, He is the way, He is the truth, and He is the LIFE.
...and holy understanding shall keep thee;
2:12 To deliver you from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
The Septuagint ends as: '...and from the man that speaks nothing faithfully.'
Faith simply means allegiance. We are either loyal or we are not.
2:13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
2:14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness (perverseness) of the wicked;
Jeremiah 11:15 What hath My beloved to do in Mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.
2:15 Whose ways are crooked, and they froward (are perverse) in their paths:
Psalm 125:5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Yahweh shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
2:16 To deliver you from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
Septuagint: 16 to remove thee far from the straight way, and to estrange thee from a righteous purpose. My son, let not evil counsel overtake thee,
2:17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
Malachi 2:14 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because Yahweh hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
Proverbs 5:15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
Yahweh forbids race mixing.
2:18 For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
2:19 None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
Do you think Yahweh approves of our now multicultural race mixed society?
Proverbs 3:11 My son, despise not the chastening of Yahweh; neither be weary of His correction:
Job 5:17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
Psalm 94:12 Blessed is the man whom You chastenest, O Yahweh, and teachest him out of Your law;
3:12 For whom Yahweh loveth He correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
Deuteronomy 8:5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so Yahweh thy God chasteneth you.
3:13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
3:18 She (wisdom) is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
Wisdom is knowing which trees give life and which ones give death.
Proverbs 5:1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow your ear to my understanding:
5:2 That you mayest regard discretion, and that your lips may keep knowledge.
5:3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
5:4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.
Ecclesiastes 7:26 And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
5:5 Her (the strange woman's) feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell (the grave).
5:6 Lest you shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that you canst not know them.
Septuagint: 6 For she goes not upon the paths of life; but her ways are slippery, and not easily known.
Race mixing leads to death and the grave, forever. Race mixing will get you blotted out. If you race mix or support race mixers you are far from the path of life. Period.
Proverbs 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
Septuagint: 23 For the commandment of the law is a lamp and a light; a way of life; reproof also and correction:
24 to keep thee continually from a married woman, and from the calumny of a strange tongue.
25 Let not the desire of beauty overcome thee, neither be thou caught by thine eyes, neither be captivated with her eyelids.
26 For the value of a harlot is as much as of one loaf; and a woman hunts for the precious souls of men.
Very simple, the law is the way of life. Follow it or your soul will become the prey of death.
That is why Christ fulfilled a mortal life following the law. The result is life, life for us. He demonstrated the model and example for us to strive for. Not to “just believe”, but to actively pursue. We, as kinsmen of Christ, are already written in the book of life. It is the blotting out part that we must avoid. This takes knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs 10:11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
Psalm 37:30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
Psalm 107:42 The righteous shall see it (a well of life), and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
Proverbs 10:17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
Septuagint ends: '...but instruction unchastened goes astray.'
The way of life includes following Yahweh's instructions. Christ did it. Be like Christ.
Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
Daniel 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
Our fruits prove our zeal for righteousness, and our actions and examples can lead many others towards righteousness. The result is life.
Proverbs 13:12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
The Septuagint: 12 Better is he that begins to help heartily, than he that promises and leads another to hope: for a good desire is a tree of life.
We can't promise people an expectation. They have to have a longing to learn and practice The Way of Life.
Proverbs 13:14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
Septuagint: 14 The law of the wise is fountain of life: but the man void of understanding shall die by a snare.
Proverbs 14:27 The fear of Yahweh is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
Septuagint: 27 The commandment of Yahweh is a fountain of life; and it causes men to turn aside from the snare of death.
Proverbs 15:4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
The Septuagint ends as: '...and he that keeps it (a wholesome tongue) shall be filled with understanding.
Matthew 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Proverbs 15:24 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
Septuagint: 24 The thoughts of the wise are ways of life, that he may turn aside and escape from hell.
Philippians 3:20 For our conversation (conduct) is in heaven (righteousness); from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Prince Jesus Christ:
Proverbs 15:31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
Those who hear and respond to the correction and chastening of maintenance of the life we are supposed to live are among the wise. Maintenance is also a definition of life.
Proverbs 16:22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
If you are learning and believing in the doctrine the “churches teach”, you are learning from the instruction of fools. There is no life at the end of a path that leads to folly.
Understanding the truth is a wellspring of life.
Isaiah 4:2 In that day shall the branch (sprouting) of Yahweh be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
Christ is the branch and the fruit of the gospel that caught up to Israel in Europe and America. The escaped of Israel is a reference to those Israelites that migrated into Europe during and after the Assyrian captivity.
Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod (branch) out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch (shoot) shall grow out of his roots:
Jesse is the son of Obed and the grandson of Boaz, who married Ruth.
The Branch (Christ) can only be of the same (family) tree as these Israelites of the son of Judah. Ruth was not a Moabite by race, only by geography. She was an Israelite likely of the tribe of Dan or Rueben, given the territory where she dwelled, which used to be inhabited by Moabites.
Judah is of the race of Adam. Christ is of the race of Adam, and through the line of Judah, Jacob's son. Queen Elizabeth II is the reigning monarch of the house of Judah. She is not a Jew. The Jews are descendants of Cain and of Esau. They are of the tree of evil.
Isaiah 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the nations seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
The root of Jesse is Christ. All the nations of Israel seek Him. Those that follow will find rest and LIFE.
Isaiah 44:21 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.
44:22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed you.
The blood of Christ, through repentance and obedience, blots out our errors.
44:23 Sing, O ye heavens; for Yahweh hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for Yahweh hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified Himself in Israel.
He has never redeemed or glorified anyone else but the children of Israel. The “churches” add everyone else to this doctrine.
The future Kingdom
Isaiah 60:21 Your people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, that I may be glorified.
Yahweh planted Adam on the earth to bring forth Yahweh's family. This mortal life is the test. Christ is the model and example. Seek and follow Him and glorify Yahweh.
Chapter 18 is about the potter and the clay.
Jeremiah 18:23 Yet, Yahweh, You knowest all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from Your sight, but let them be overthrown before You; deal thus with them in the time of Your anger.
Isaiah 45:9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
Romans 9:20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to Him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
Isaiah 64:8 But now, O Yahweh, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
Jeremiah was not liked by the people when he told them about the coming punishment of Yahweh because of their disobedience. Yahweh chose (formed) the children of Jacob to perform a purpose, as a nation, and they were not following The Way. The potter has the power to blot out the clay.
Jeremiah 21:8 And unto this people you shalt say, Thus saith Yahweh; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Life is in obedience, it is in loving your brethren (race), and it is in knowledge and understanding. Christ demonstrated all these, we can too.
Jeremiah 23:5 Behold, the days come, saith Yahweh, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch (sprout), and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
Of course Christ is the Branch. But here in 23:5 and 33:15 (also Zec 3:8, 6:12) it is the sprout, referring to Zerubbabel.
Branch comes from H6780 tsemach, meaning the sprout, shoot (of Davidic tree), growth, branch, and here it is a figurative of Zerubbabel, because he would build the second temple under the order of Koresh (Cyrus) of Persia.
Jeremiah 33:15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch (sprout) of righteousness to grow up unto David; and He shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.
Speaking of Zerubbabel.
Jubilees 30:7. And if there is any man who wisheth in Israel to give his daughter or his sister to any man who is of the seed of the nations (other races) he shall surely die, and they shall stone him with stones; for he hath wrought shame in Israel; and they shall burn the woman with fire, because she hath dishonoured the name of the house of her father, and she shall be rooted out of Israel.
10 And to this law there is no limit of days, and no remission, nor any atonement: but the man who hath defiled his daughter shall be rooted out in the midst of all Israel, because he hath given of his seed to Moloch, and wrought impiously so as to defile it.
Jubilees 30:21-22
All this account I have written for you, and have commanded you to say to the children of Israel, that they should not commit sin nor transgress the ordinances nor break the covenant which has been ordained for them, (but) that they should fulfill it and be recorded as friends.
But if they transgress and work uncleanness in every way, they will be recorded on the heavenly tablets as adversaries, and they will be destroyed out of the book of life, and they will be recorded in the book of those who will be destroyed and with those who will be rooted out of the earth.
Ezekiel 3:17 Son of man, I have made you a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at My mouth, and give them warning from Me.
3:18 When I say unto the wicked, You shalt surely die; and you givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
The wicked are the wicked and unrighteous Israelites. Yahweh is telling Ezekiel to warn the wicked of his race to turn from their wicked ways. Christ never tried to convert the Jews, only His people Israel.
3:19 Yet if you warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you hast delivered your soul.
3:20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because you hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.
3:21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also you hast delivered your soul.
It's simple. Stand for allegiance (faith) in Yahweh. Call out the unrighteous. Do your job, the rest is up to the other person. If they don't turn to righteousness, they will be blotted out. If you don't do your job to warn them, you will join them.
Ezekiel 8:17 Then He said unto me, Hast you seen this, O son of Adam? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke He to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
Septuagint: 17 And He said to me, Son of Adam, thou hast seen this. Is it a little thing to the house of Judah to practice the iniquities which they have practiced here? for they have filled the land with iniquity: and, behold, these are as scorners.
Geneva: “...they have cast out stink before their noses.
8:18 Therefore will I also deal in fury: Mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in Mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
The phrase 'they put the branch to their nose'.
Likely a reference to pagan rituals, incense, hallucinogenics.
Sheldon Emery states it was to 'hide their doings (incense)'.
A word study reveals more.
They...PUT H7971- put, send away, cast out, conduct,
the BRANCH H2156- twig, pruned (2168) 5568- to be erect, stand up, tremble
to their NOSE H639- nose or nostril: (H599)(from the rapid breathing in passion):anger(-y), + before, countenance, face, + forbearing, forehead, + [long-] suffering, worthy, wrath.
Some other possibilities include:
“They put the branch (kindling) to My wrath” meaning stoked the fire.
The Branch (Christ):
As a prophetic metaphor, they WILL put Christ to their anger (suffering). This is fulfilled as they shout "Crucify him!" This is highly plausible because they are Judaeans of the house of Judah.
One goes so far as to the branch being the male organ, as to be erect, is in the definition (H5568). This is not hard to consider, knowing the pagan worship required sex, race mixing and idol worship.
Ezekiel 14:7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger (sojourning kinsmen) that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from Me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning Me; I Yahweh will answer him by Myself:
14:8 And I will set My face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of My people; and ye shall know that I am Yahweh.
The Septuagint has: “...and will make him desolate and ruined,...”
14:9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I Yahweh have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out My hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of My people Israel.
Septuagint reads: 9 And if a prophet should cause to err and should speak, I Yahweh have caused that prophet to err, and will stretch out My hand upon him, and will utterly destroy him from the midst of My people Israel.
14:10 And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him;
Septuagint: 10 And they shall bear their iniquity according to the trespass of him that asks; and it shall be in like manner to the prophet according to the trespass:
14:11 That the house of Israel may go no more astray from Me, neither be polluted (defiled) any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be My people, and I may be their God, saith Yahweh GOD.
A true prophet would not give the counsel of Yahweh to a sinful man. They are to be put away.
Repentance must be first before we appear before Yahweh.
The soul that obeys and the soul that sins.
Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
18:21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all My statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
18:22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
If a father is wicked, the son will learn from wickedness. The cycle of wickedness follows each generation born in wickedness. If the son breaks away from the wickedness, and lives righteously, he will live.
This goes for today's “churches” as well. If your grandparents worshiped a Jewish Jesus, and your dad, and you, even your children will follow this pattern of wickedness, and will all die.
18:23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith Yahweh GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
18:24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
18:25 Yet ye say, The way of Yahweh is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not My way equal? are not your ways unequal?
18:26 When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
18:27 Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
18:28 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
18:29 Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of Yahweh is not equal. O house of Israel, are not My ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
18:30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith Yahweh GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
18:31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Ephesians 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation (conduct) the old man (sin), which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
18:32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith Yahweh GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
Ezekiel 33:11 Say unto them, As I live, saith Yahweh GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
33:12 Therefore, you son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.
33:13 When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.
33:14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
33:15 If the wicked restore the pledge, give again (repaid) that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
When we sin or commit error, we can be forgiven, by man and by Christ. We will then remain in the book of life if we continue to walk in the statutes that lead us to life. Hence, Christ.
Exodus 22:1 If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
2 (Septuagint) And if the thief be found in the breach made by himself and be smitten and die, there shall not be blood shed for him.
Today we just support our thieves in prison and sometimes we get sued if they hurt themselves while robbing us!
33:16 None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
33:17 Yet the children of thy people say, The way of Yahweh is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
33:18 When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.
33:19 But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
33:20 Yet ye say, The way of Yahweh is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
Zechariah 3:8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you, and your fellows that sit before you: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth My servant the BRANCH (sprout).
Septuagint has the underlined as: “for they are diviners,”
Branch comes from H6780 tsemach, meaning the sprout, shoot (of Davidic tree), growth, branch, and here in verse 8 and 6:12 is a figurative of Zerubbabel, because he would build the second temple under the order of Koresh (Cyrus) of Persia.
3:9 For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith Yahweh of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
Psalm 118:22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
Isaiah 28:16 Therefore thus saith Yahweh GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
3:10 In that day, saith Yahweh of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
Zechariah 6:12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh Yahweh of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH (sprout); and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of Yahweh:
Again, referring to Zerubbabel.
Malachi 2:5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he (reverently) feared Me, and was afraid (awestruck) before My name.
2:6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with Me in peace and equity (straightness), and did turn many away from iniquity.
Talking about the Levitical priesthood.
Deuteronomy 33:10 They (Levites) shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.
On the other hand...
Jeremiah 23:21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in My counsel, and had caused My people to hear My words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
Talking about the Edomite Jews that took over the Levitical priesthood.
2:7 For the (Israelite) priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of Yahweh of hosts.
2:8 But ye (Edom) are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith Yahweh of hosts.
2:9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept My ways, but have been partial in the law.
These were the Edomite Jews that eventually took over the sect of the Pharisees. They distorted the laws of Moses into the 'traditions of men' (Judaism), and murdered Christ.
This also includes those Levites that strayed from Yahweh to follow Edom.
1Samuel 2:30 Wherefore Yahweh God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before Me for ever: but now Yahweh saith, Be it far from Me; for them that honour Me I will honour, and they that despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.
2:10 Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
These (in v10) are the liberal Israelite priests speaking for Edom. Esau was Isaac's son too. But since Esau despised his race and birthright and he race mixed with Canaanites, his seed is not acceptable. That is why Yahweh chose Jacob and his seed. The children of Israel (us).
The OT Israelite Levitical priesthood expired when Christ died. He became our High Priest and mediator. No other man, “priest”, preacher, water, doctrine or anyone or thing can make a sacrifice for you for your errors. This must now be done on your own. This is called spiritual sacrifice. Choosing the Spirit over the flesh. The New Covenant is just an upgrade from the written law, to the law on our hearts. From using the priesthood as the mediator and offering an animal, to appearing as a repentant and obedient personal offering of choosing allegiance (faith) to Him.
John 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice,
5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Isaiah 26:19 Thy dead men shall live, together with My dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
1Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Daniel 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Those already dead that died in allegiance to Him will be raised unto life. Those of us that are alive at His coming will not taste death but be changed, but only if we are found living in allegiance to Him. Don't be like the foolish virgins that had not oil (knowledge and understanding), and were left outside the kingdom.
John 6:32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but My Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
6:33 For the bread of God is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world (society).
The bread (manna) in the desert was a “type” of Christ.
That bread was physical, fleshly bread, it preserved the body to sustain life.
THE bread is Christ. He preserves your Spirit. He gives LIFE.
Eating His bread is NOT “just believing”.
Eating His bread includes: repentance, acknowledgment, understanding, practicing, obedience, righteousness, godliness, actively and consciously striving, seeking, pursuing, imitating, and thanking Him. Having total allegiance (faith).
6:34 Then said they unto Him, Prince, evermore give us this bread.
6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and Me that believeth on Me shall never thirst.
If you “believe” in Him, you must “believe” in His doctrine and commandments and follow them. “Believing” in Him requires standing for Him and Honoring Him by being a loyal example of what He represents. It's a heritage, a family tradition. An heir should act like one in order to receive the inheritance.
6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life.
6:48 I am that bread of life.
Chapter 8, Christ is talking to the Edomite Jew Pharisees for the benefit of True Israel. Those Israelites in the crowd that hear His voice with understanding.
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.
The Jews had taken over the Israelite priesthood by the time of Christ. They controlled the people by their 'traditions of men', or Judaism, or the doctrine of devils. Christ was teaching His kinsman, which were deceived by the Jews traditions, that they were walking in darkness which leads to death. The gospel was to remind the children of Israel that Christ, the law and The Way of their ancestors is the light of life.
John 15:1 I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman.
Symbolic statements of the tree, the Adamic race, made in the image of Yahweh.
15:2 Every branch in Me that beareth not fruit He taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
Ephesians 5:26 That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water in the word, (knowledge and understanding)
15:4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in Me.
Colossians 1:23 If ye continue in the faith (allegiance) grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope (expectation) of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creation which is under heaven; whereof I Paul (and Christ) am made a minister;
15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in Him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing.
A tree does not have many genetics, it is one DNA. Christ is of one DNA (Spirit). His people are the same DNA. Without His DNA, we can do nothing. We are rejected. Don't race mix.
15:6 If a man abide not in Me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
Those who are not of Him (kinsman), and those who are of Him that reject Him will be thrown in the fire. Blotted out.
Acts 2:28 Thou hast made known to me (Peter) the ways of life; you shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
Verses 25-28 are from Psalm 16.
Yahweh makes known the ways of life to us. It is only a mystery if you don't know the history.
Acts 3:15 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
Why did the translators choose to correctly use the word 'Prince' here instead of 'Lord'? It should say Prince, Master, or Teacher in every place that they changed it to 'Lord' in the NT. Lord comes from Baal. When you call on the title 'Lord', you are calling on Satan.
This is only one of the incorrect ways to call on our Kinsman Redeemer.
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of Yahweh;
Note that the apostles are still teaching that we must obey Yahweh's laws, even after Christ's death. So the law was NOT “done away with”, only the sacrificial rituals and ordinances.
Repentance is an ongoing thing. Being blotted out is an ongoing danger.
Romans 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law (sacrificial rituals) there shall no flesh be justified in His sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
The context is the sacrificial rituals. The rituals will not save you. Obedience will.
Romans 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one (Adam) judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one (Christ) the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that He by the grace (favor) of God should taste death for every man.
5:19 For as by one man's (Adam's) disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one (Christ) shall many be made righteous.
Favor through righteousness. Righteousness is obedience. We must be righteous to access favor. Or we will be blotted out.
Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism (immersion) into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized (immersed) into Christ have put on Christ.
We will die as Christ died. We will be immersed in death.
Being baptized into Christ is not done with water, which is not even the context here. The true immersion is in knowledge and understanding, not being dunked in water by some man with no power in a pagan ritual. The water does not give knowledge and understanding. Study, practice, brotherly love and allegiance is being immersed into Christ.
Only the baptism of John (water) was for cleansing the old Levitical priesthood (Mal 3:3) and preparing Christ for the final sacrifice. The priesthood and sacrifices were “done away with”, not the law, as the “churches” teach.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
1Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam (Christ) was made a quickening spirit.
8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
The original Greek is a little clearer:
3 The law is powerless, in that it has been weak over the flesh, Yahweh sending His own Son in the likeness of errant flesh, and amidst guilt, condemned guilt in the flesh,
Christ was Yahweh come as a man, living in a sinful society, and Himself never sinning. His sacrifice was for our sins, if He had sinned, He would not have been able to bear ours.
8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Part of the definition of righteousness is judgment. We will be judged. No we cannot be perfect in following the law, but we can get ourselves blotted out for not striving for perfection. There is no such thing as “once saved, always saved”. This false teaching disengages you from the way of understanding, and is another way to lead you to being blotted out.
Romans 15:12 And again, Isaiah saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and He that shall rise to reign over the nations; in Him shall the nations trust. ('...upon Him the nations have expectation')
The KJV has 'Gentiles' where it should read 'nations'.
Gentiles is a Latin word that simply means a nation or race of people. It does not mean non-Israelite. This meaning was later added to support the false doctrine that the Jews are Israel.
The 'nations' are those Israelites of the tribes of Jacob/Israel.
Matthew 15:24 But He answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
The hope (expectation) is what we can trust in when we are pure racial obedient children with true knowledge and understanding of our history, heritage, promises, covenants and God.
Christ does not always refer to the man, it often refers to His kinsman, the children of Israel, the anointed seed of Isaac.
2Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place.
The Greek: 14 But thanks to Yahweh, who is always leading us among the Anointed in triumph, and the essence of the knowledge of Him is being made manifest through us in every place.
2:15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
15 Seeing that we of the Anointed are a sweet fragrance to Yahweh, among these being preserved and among those being destroyed;
2:16 To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient (befitting) for these things?
2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
17 For we are not as the many, selling the word of Yahweh in trade, but as from sincerity, rather as from Yahweh. Before Yahweh we speak in respect of the Anointed.
Paul is speaking of the evangelists of that day who charged or collected money for speaking in God's name, just like today with Joel Osteen and many others.
2Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if our earthly (mortal) house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands (spiritual body), eternal in the heavens.
5:2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
5:3 If so be that being clothed (in righteousness) we shall not be found naked.
5:4 For we that are in this tabernacle (flesh) do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
Paul is talking about our spiritual clothing (body) at Judgment Day.
5:5 Now He that hath wrought (has been cultivating) us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest (down payment) of the Spirit.
5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Prince:
5:7 (For we walk by faith (allegiance), not by sight:)
Don't be found naked in unrighteousness when He returns or you will find yourself blotted out.
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 (deliverance) with fear and trembling. Obedience.
2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.
13 For it is Yahweh who is operating in you, both to desire and to work for that approval.
“Just believing” doesn't cut it.
2:14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
The original Greek reveals the deliberate changes made by the translators.
15 That you would be perfect and with unmixed blood, blameless children of Yahweh in the midst of a race crooked and perverted- among whom you appear as luminaries in the Society,
The race of Yahweh versus the race of Satan. Gen 3:15
2:16 Holding forth (upholding) the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
2Timothy 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
The promise of life. This is found in the OT. In 2Timothy, Paul talks about Abraham and our ancestors. The faith of our forefathers. The promise to Abraham and his seed through Isaac, Jacob, his 12 sons and their descendants, which today are the white nations of the world.
2Timothy 3:10 But you hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
3:11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Prince delivered me. (Acts 13:45, 14:2)
3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
Psalm 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but Yahweh delivereth him out of them all.
The “rapture” is not Yahweh's plan. It is man's idea. Scripture tells us we will be tried in the fire. This life is our test to see if we can imitate Christ's example and encourage others, and rebuke the unrighteous.
3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
2Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
If you don't use your God given brain to examine what you are being taught and to discern what is good from evil, then you will remain ignorant and believe the misinformation. You won't see it, but you will be delusional and believe a lie.
It is easier to fool people, than to convince them that they have been fooled.
A fool is in grave danger of being blotted out.
Hebrews 7:3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
Melchizedek is an office without a father, without descent, etc.
Paul is using Melchisedec as a model of Christ. David was this too. This is the role we should seek.
Melchizedec is a Preacher of Righteousness. This was the oldest living patriarch, starting with Adam and up to Nahor, Abraham's brother, the context of chapter 7. Since Yahweh's people became a great nation of people, the Levites assumed the duty of preachers of righteousness, hence the Levitical Priesthood. When Christ died, the priesthood expired and He became our High Priest of the order of Melchisedec. He is the High Priest and we are all lesser priests. We true Israelites are all members of this office.
Exodus 19:6 And ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests, and an holy (set apart) nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
This occurred already during the Reformation when Christianity spread all over the white nations of the world from 800-1800 AD.
America also played a part in this during it's birth.
James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation (trials): for when he is tried (approved), he shall receive the crown of life, which the Prince hath promised to them that love Him.
Job 5:17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
John 14:15 If ye love Me, keep My commandments.
Life is enduring this trial of mortal live, following His commandments, and if approved, shall receive the crown of life.
Greek: 1Peter 3:6 As Sarah had obeyed Abraham calling him master, whose children you have been born to do good and not fearing any terror.
3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
Grace means favor. The favor we receive is founded in the promises and covenants made to Abraham. When we follow the laws given to our ancestors, we will receive the favor of life.
1Corinthians 7:3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
1Corinthians 12:23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
Mutual respect.
1John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon (observed), and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
1:2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew (announce) unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
1:3 That which we have seen and heard declare (announce) we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Yahshua Christ.
The word means the plan. The plan from the beginning was to keep the law. We had the prophets, and the apostles to remind us. We were showed the example of the plan by Christ Himself. This isn't all for our entertainment. We are to follow the Word of Life.
1John 2:16 For all that is in the world (society), the lust (desires) of the flesh, and the lust (desires) of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world (society).
2:17 And the world (society) passeth away, and the lust (desire) thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
'Doeth' is another place where it should be emphasized with the correct translation 'practice'.
Verses 1-17 are speaking to Israelites. Children of Jacob. Pure, unmixed anglo-saxons.
Verses 18-29 are now talking about the children of Esau, race mixed Edomites (Jews).
2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
2:19 They (the many antichrists from verse 18) went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
The Sephardic branch of Jews are of the seed of Abraham through Esau. Esau despised his birthright and took strange wives (from a mixed race of Canaanites). These acts disqualified Esau and his descendants of claiming the family of Yahweh, which is unmixed. Throughout history, the Israelites were always followed by the descendants of Cain and Esau. Hence verse 19.
Deuteronomy 13:13 Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;
Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews (Judaeans), and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews (Judaeans), and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
The Jews claim to be the Israel of the Bible. Scripture shows otherwise.
The word 'Jew' in the scriptures is a deliberate mistranslation from the word 'Judaean'. Israelites and Canaanites and Edomites lived in Judaea.
2:20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
20 Yet you have an anointing from the Holy One and you know all.
2:21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
True Israel knows the truth, and it is the seed of Israel that are the Anointed.
2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. (2 John 7)
The Jews are famous for denying Christ. Why do you think they hide behind walls in Palestine? Why do you get arrested if you try to convert a Jew in Palestine?
2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
John 15:23 He that hateth Me hateth My Father also.
The Pharisees and Sadducees (Edomite Jews) hated Christ and murdered Him.
2:24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
The OT. The prophecies and promises. The NT, the Word (Greek: logos = plan) in the flesh, Christ.
2:25 And this is the promise that He hath promised us, even eternal life.
John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
To know with understanding. “Just believing” is not knowing with understanding, if you truly understood, you would not be “just believing”.
2:26 These things have I written unto you concerning them (antichrists) that seduce you.
2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him.
It's in our DNA (Spirit), we must follow His example.
2:28 And now, little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed (dishonored) before Him at His coming.
2:29 If ye know that He is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of Him.
We must practice (doeth) righteousness. “Belief” is not practice.
Acts 22:14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee (Israelites), that thou shouldest know His will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of His mouth.
The gospel is the filter by which the children of Yahweh were to be distinguished at that time from the other peoples (Canaanites/Edomites).
The gospel was the message of redemption to both houses of Israel. The Judaeans of the house of Judah, and the dispersed of the house of Israel (wrongly “Gentiles”). All the children of Israel under the New Covenant.
This gospel message set the stage for His people (the anglo-saxon nations of Israel) to settle the white nations of the world, which included the Reformation, and ultimately regather here in America. America is in Bible prophecy.
Revelation 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches (assemblies); To him that overcometh (prevails) will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
The Tree of Life is Christ Himself and His race. As He told the apostles, “I am the vine, you are the branches”.
Those that lived during the assembly age of Ephesus that stood fast in the teachings of Yahshua are found in the book of life.
-Period begins with the resurrection of Yahshua in 30 AD to Johns time around 94-100 AD
-Time of early Christianity, main opposition was the Pharisees (mostly Edomite Jews by then)
-Represents the earliest assembly when it was free from serious persecution.
Praised for loyalty to Yahshua the Messiah’s teachings. False teachers were expelled.
Criticized because “you hast left your first love.” Meaning time passed, Christ didn’t return, things went from bad to worse and they lost their first enthusiasm.
-Hebrewism ( religion of Old Testament) ends and Judaism, based on the Jewish Talmud takes over.
-Nicoliatans (meaning is from several Greek words- “to triumph over the laity”. In other words, 'people conquerors'.)
Here are the beginnings of a class of people who didn’t consider themselves teachers of Yahweh’s Word, but made themselves lords over the congregation.
Revelation 2:10 Fear none of those things which you shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried (tested); and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be you faithful unto death, and I will give you a crown of life.
The ten days of verse 10 are often interpreted as pointing to the ten persecutions of Christians under the empire. These occurred with the following emperors and years: Nero (64 A.D.) , Domitian (c.90-96), Trajan (98-117), Hadrian (117-138), Marcus Aurelius (161-181), Septimus Severus (202-211), Maximus the Thracian (235-251), Decius (249-251), Valerian (257-260), Diocletian (303-305).
This is referring to the persecution of Christians during the “church” age of Smyrna, 64-313 AD.
Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before My Father, and before His messengers.
An overcomer is one that remains loyal and strives for obedience even in the face of lawlessness and disobedience. One that practices The Way and actively seeks knowledge and understanding. One that can discern the difference between what will or will not get you blotted out.
Revelation 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book (of life), and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Yahshua Christ is the Lion of Judah and He is also the root of David. (Isa 11:1,10)
Christ prevailed the mortal test we are going through. When we strive to follow His example, we remain in His book.
Chapter 11 is the time of the reformation.
Revelation 11:11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
Ezekiel 37:5 Thus saith Yahweh GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
May 5, 1514 there were no witness to the word of Yahweh. Silenced by Catholicism.
Oct 31, 1517 (3 ½ yrs later) Martin Luther nailed up his 95 thesis. Then Protestantism took off.
Revelation 21:5 And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
The Greek phrase concerning new things may have been translated “Behold, I shall do all new things!”
21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
'It is done' should be “They are made!”. This further substantiates the rendering in verse 5, “I shall make all new things”
21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be My son.
Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith Yahweh; I will put My laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to Me a people:
The keeping of the commandments of God means the keeping of the bloodline of Israel. The overcomers are all of those Israelites who remain at the end of the age.
Revelation 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life (DNA), which bare twelve manner of fruits (12 tribes), and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
The nations are the nations of the family that the scriptures are by, to, for and about. The Genesis 10 nations of Adam, and the nations of Israel. These are the white nations of the world today.
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
From Genesis to the last book of the Bible, when we, the descendants of Adam, do His commandments, we will have our inheritance in the Kingdom.
Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Yahshua Christ is the only true Water of Life (John 4), yet He came only “for the lost sheep of the house of Israel”, those with whom His covenant was made (Jeremiah 31:31). The scope of the original calling has never changed.
22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of Yahweh your God which I command you.
22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
It is wise to be careful, examining the manuscripts and producing the best possible text of the book before even attempting to understand its utterances.
“Church” doctrine is the path to death. It is the corrupted and changed version of the original Word of Yahweh.
He who has eyes to see and ears to hear, a mind and heart to follow, and action and commitment to practice and live for, will gain knowledge and understanding and remain in the book of life.
Wesley Swift-
-“Of all the good trees, those for fruit, for food that I have put in the Garden, you may eat. But there is one tree of which you may not eat.” In earlier translations this was much clearer, for it said:--”This is the tree of men or enosh, of the beings of earth.” In other words, ‘I put you in the garden, and of every fruit tree you may eat, but you must not mix in the human fruit of the tree of nations. You must not mix your seed, you must preserve this Holy Seed for the purpose of which I have established you on earth.
Eli James -Enmity 4
“Tree of Life” refers to the DNA of the Adamic Race.
Psalm 139, 13-17, “For you hast possessed my reins: you hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are your works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from you, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. your eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in your book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. How precious also are your youghts unto me, O God!”
“REINS” [“For you hast possessed my reins”] - (Strongs 3629 kilyah) The word “reins” as “kilyah” is translated 18 times out of 31 occurrences as “kidneys”. These 18 times are used in relationship to the Old Covenant sacrifices and are about hallowing those who minister to God in the priest’s office -(Exodus 29:1ff). The selection of priests was race-tribe specific and the burning of the kidneys was performed after the girding of the priests with the robe of the ephod, the ephod itself, and the breastplate. The whole complex procedure that follows is to the following end:
In Job 16:13, and Lamentations 3:13, death and destruction are spoken of as arrows slashing the kidneys (reins). We will be seeing what these arrows are that which causes death. The other 13 times where the word is translated as “reins”, are used in connection with the behavior we allow, that is they are usually given in conjunction with the “heart”.
Psalm 7:9, “God tries the hearts and the reins”.
Psalm 16:6, “My reins shall instruct me”.
The “reins” are what we are, and the “heart” how we respond by our works. Vine’s Expository Dictionary gives “heart” as meaning, “Man’s entire mental and moral activity, both the rational and the emotional elements”. Other dictionaries give such as, “Used figuratively of the seat of emotion and affection”.
In the New Testament pages, there is only one translation as “reins”, and this again is joined with the word “hearts”.
Revelation 2:23, “...I am He which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works”.
In Jeremiah 12:2 we see that God is far from the “reins” of the wicked, even when God is near in their mouths. This means that there are people in the churches who are “wicked” in this way. Medically today, we know that the function of the kidneys has to do with the purifying the blood!
Leviticus 14:11, “For the life of the flesh is in the blood”.
“MADE”. [“For I am fearfully and wonderfully made”] - (Strongs 6395 palah).
The word is used in the sense of discriminating.
So this phrase carries the idea, “I am fearfully and wonderfully different from all other peoples”.
“WORKS” [“marvellous are your works”] – (Strongs 4639 maaseh).
This particular word for “works” is about the ethical obligation and response to the thing created, so here it is about God’s obligation to what he has formed. The meaning of the word “marvelous” tells us that the works of God are extraordinary and difficult beyond our understanding. Here we get a glimpse that there is this great difference between those “created” and the Adamic man who is “made” for the Potter’s purpose.
“SUBSTANCE” [“My substance was not hid from you”] – (Strongs 6108 “otsem”).
What God has given His people is something intrinsic or built-in. Where did this happen? It was before the “foundation of the earth” and it had happened in the mother’s womb, in their DNA.
“FASHIONED” “In continuance were fashioned” - (Strongs 3335 “yatsar).
This word is translated as “ordained” in the ASV of this Psalm and as “planned” in 2 Kings 19:25. It is used about the shaping of an object, as in Isaiah 44:9-10 where an idol is pictured as being shaped by hammers. In 2 Kings 9:25; Isaiah 37:26; 46:11 it is shown to be used of God’s pre-ordained purposes. What happened in a mother’s womb was ordained and planned before the child was born. The child was shaped by DNA hammers!
This principle of fashioning is shown in Isaiah 51: 1-2, “Hearken to Me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek Yahweh: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him”.
That is, Israel was fashioned in Sarah’s womb.
Exodus 32:33, Whosoever hath sinned against Me, him will I blot out of My book.
Eternal life is given to the redeemed out of those written in the Book, who are worthy.
Revelation 5:9, “you art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for you wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by your blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.”
This does not say “of” every nation. It is of Israelites who are gathered “out of” or from amongst every race and place where they had been scattered. “Out of” does not mean “of”.
Revelation 20:15, And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Those to be burned are those conceived as tares, together with those corrupted Israelites who, “kept not their first estate”, and who were blotted out of the Book of Life. Those “written in the Book of Life” had had their names written in from, “The foundation of the world”. The tares were never written in! Those who were written in genetically can fail in their spiritual life by unbelief.
2Peter 2:10, But rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Prince and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Yes, Israelites can be “cast off” and “cut off” for other reasons, but after punishment and chastisement they can be restored. They may sin until there is no healing (2 Chron 36:16 + Prov. 16:15). But when they commit idolatry they are “spoiled” and when “spoiled,” THERE IS “NO REMEDY.”
The one pure genetic code, or set of racial genes, is that which is written in the Book of Life. Every racial corruption by Israelites, who take wives from an unacceptable gene pool and who commit idolatry, causes their names to be blotted out of that Book.
That is, there is one chosen race that is “special”, a word that means being “a valued property”. These had their genetic code written into the Book of Life, “before the foundation of the earth”! It is their responsibility to see that their names are not blotted out of the Book of Life!
