Study in Psalms/prayer Psalm 2

Starting in verses 1-3 we read:

1Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 2The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 3Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

This prayer is basically synonymous with Revelation 19; and a host of other prophecies related to Christ's return in victory to rule and reign over the earth. The Tribulation itself begins just 7 years earlier with the Daniel 9:27 covenant "with many". The covenant with "death and hell" ( Isaiah 28:15 describing what the authors of this contract themselves proclaim at its inception).

It appears that the world may very well praise God if we take the verses in Revelation 5:3 literally. Once we get to the sixth seal in Revelation 6:12-15 we see men running from God's judgment; but after the Revelation 13 beast rises up and the False Prophet does his thing the world will take their mark of allegiance and in the end will be deceived by the 3 demons ( Rev. 16:13) and decide to fight against the Lord. That will be a consummation of a number of battles; not the least of which is the Ezekiel 38 war where everyone meets at Meddigo; probably beginning to fight one another; then turning on each other and fighting Christ.

Moving on; verses 4-7 say: He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

5Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

6Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

7I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

Trying to focus this as it applied to David's understanding of what was a clearly prophetic message; we see how David was a sort of forerunner of the Messiah who would indeed be victorious over His foes and rule and reign. David is promised to rule with Him as well ( Jeremiah 30:9).

RUTH 1

In the days of the judges there was famine in the land,and a man of BethlehemJudah called Elimelech and his wife Naomi went to sojourn in the country of Moab,he,his wife and two sons Mahlon and Chilion,Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah,and they continued there.Times after,Elimelech died,Naomi was left,and her two sons took wives of the women of Moab;one was Orpah,the other Ruth,and dwelled there about 10 years.The two sons of Naomi died,so Naomi arose with her daughters in law that she might return to Bethlehem,she heard the Lord had visited His people and gave them bread,she went forth out of the place where she was,and her two daughters in law with her to return unto Judah. Naomi said unto her two daughters in law,Go,return each to her mother's house,she kissed them and they lifted up their voice,and wept,and they said unto Naomi:Surely we will return with thee unto thy people.Naomi said,Turn my daughters:why will ye go with me?Turn again,my daughters,go your way, they wept again, and Orpah kissed her mother in law. But Ruth clave unto Naomi, and said:for whither thou goes,I will go;and where thou lodge,I will lodge:thy people shall be my people,and thy God my God.Where thou die,will I die,and there will I be buried if ought but death part thee and me.Then they two went to Bethlehem,when they arrived to Bethlehem all the city was moved about them,and they said,Is this Naomi?Naomi said unto them,call me Mara:for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.I went out full and the Lord has brought me home again empty:why then call ye me Naomi,seeing the Lord hath testified against me,and the Almighty has afflicted me?So Naomi and Ruth returned out of the country of Moab and came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.Ruth is revered as a figure of faithfulness and virtue,a symbol of the true Gentile Church-true GOD's people.Through her marriage to Boaz,she becomes the great-grandmother of King David,giving Moabite's lineage into the genealogy of JESUS.

Further thoughts on Psalm 1 and practical applications

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

This is going to be another painful exercise here; as to the topic discussed. A nonbeliever seeing either these verses or an affirmation from those calling themselves believers to such scripture and a lot of others besides no doubt will be offended.

From their perspective; who dares to tell me that they are righteous in God's eyes and they are not; that in fact they are hellbound without Christ. Before examining the offense of the cross ( 1 Cor. 1:18) it is important that we look at ourselves as well as speak the "oracles of God" so to speak. ( 1 Peter 4:11). Do we love others enough to tell them the hard truth if indeed it has turned us to worshipping the living God from our dead works? Can we be real about the fact that life is as a vapor; and the enemy is going to waste no time in destroying the soul of a man-anything the Lord allows him to do will be done. Are we as faithful ourselves as Satan is with the time available to us?

Another issue with ourselves is to accept that the most loving person; especially those we are close to is still in dire jeopardy and can by no means justify an exception from a righteous judge as anyone else. Let us do as Charles Spurgeon stated (no room here read my next post) UGH

Ps.110:1 "My Right Hand" (2 of 3)

Tree of life denotes Jesus Christ as Christ is the true vine. The body of New Jerusalem made up of true worshippers has Christ the head, Zion. The everlasting life is signified by leaves that do not wither.

Coming back to the Psalm quote, It is God who does the fighting and at the end the enemies are made the footstool.

This we shall see in the opening of the book with seven seals. "And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see./And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer." The four beasts serve as the MC so the rider sent out is sent by God. Michael and his angels represent the great congregation, everyone of them a witness from the clouds of witness. So their fight is against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ep.6:12). In this struggle where do we come in? "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." The entire array of God's armoury is at disposal, we have a prayer life, "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;" (Ep.6:13-18)

Instead whom are the imposter church serving?

" The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath."(110:5)

It is thus we see the rider that sets out to conquer in Re.6:1-2 has morphed into the king of kings the Lord of lords. The name Word of God tells all. "And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God."

Trinity gives us the spiritual battle coming under the Spirit where the Word of God fighting under the banner of the slain Lamb which gives us Will of God; The Word, which is God has a body, so vesture dipped in blood explains the blood of martyrs from Abel onwards.

Ps.110:1 "My Right Hand" (1 of 3)

"The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool." God is a Spirit. The Psalm quote refers to 'thine enemies.' In Re.12:7 we read of a war Michael and his angels are waging it.So ask ourselves what does "There was war in heaven," mean? St Paul also refers to it, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." (Ep.6:12) Spiritual wickedness is not fought with conventional weapons and it is to which our key verse indicate. It is God who fights it. What has begun in heaven must be explained from earth as well as from the lower parts as well.

The body as memorial where 24 elders represent all three regions. Everlasting gospel is thus preached from heaven and on earth as well as the time Jesus Christ visited the lower parts and preached the gospel to the spirits in prison. The dead who can hear the voice of the Lord has a body so to speak.(1 Pe.3:19) It is thus the number of elders are set in heaven. (8x3=24)

This analogy explains the nature of body, spirit and soul. The slain Lamb ("as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth."-Re.5:6; 13:8) is in the Mind of God. Spirit aspect of Trinity establishes it. The Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world ( John 1:29) is the Son given a body. The Word is God and given a body is the glory of both Power and Wisdom in the Lord God which is one. So spiritual body as distinct from Word become flesh serves as the soul.

God planted trees of righteousness (The world of the Spirit) The true worshippers in the world of the body are the branches abiding in Christ the true vine. In eternity the tree of life is Christ (The soul) and the overcomers "and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations" .

Ps.40:9 "The great congregation"

Before we move onto the topic let us consider the significance of Selah in Ps.87. The Spirit uses to mark change in an idea. vv.1-3 refers to Zion. Selah. vv.4-6. Selah. "And the highest himself shall establish her"(v.5). This is annotated elsewhere as being planted by God. "But he (Jesus) answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up."Matt.15:13) So predestination gives us a position in the divine Will we are trees planted by God in the divine Will. So in the everlasting covenant we are referred having the seed in ourselves. The third day refers to the Son. God command and "And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good."(Ge.1:10-11). Those abiding in Christ(the true vine) produces fruits in the Spirit 'Without me you can do nothing Jesus. What St Paul speaks of natural and wild olive trees must be considered from the covenant of the seed in itself.

So what does the tree planted by the river denote? "And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither." We are compared to trees of righteousness,"and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."(Re.22:2) Isaiah compares Jesus as a tender plant out of 'dry ground' signifying his heavenly antecedent(Is.53:3) The Spirit uses the same tag in the valley of dry bones. It is about the church and not of Israel per se. The leaves that do not wither refer to the same great congregation. In the new earth they are kings and priest so healing of nation must explains for the nations in the outer darkness.

We shall see the same great congregation following the rider on the white horse. " And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean." (Re,19:14)

Ps.40:9 "The great congregation" (1 of 2)

"I have preached righteousness in the great congregation"

In the vision of John we are given them responding to the memorial in heaven. This body signifies Trinity which this psalm alludes to. 'A body hast thou me prepared' refers to the Son so those who are blessed are his brethren. "Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee," refers to the Son of man."The Lord shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there."(Ps.87:5-6) So let us be specific the memorial in heaven is about the last Adam. True worshipers are born there in Zion. By the same token where the false worshipers are born? "I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there," Cursed are they who made flesh his arm.

There is a number given to those who are thus counted. "And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands."(Re.5:11). Compare this with the number given in the vision of Daniel. " A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him." These angels are clouds of witnesses and they represent all those who are born in Zion. It is thus we need to consider the world of the Spirit and of the earth in real time. Now is the day of salvation refers both. One third of the stars in heaven could be cast down because man on the earth proved to be a false worshipper. " And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth."

What does the tail signify? The prophet who teaches lie is the tail. (Is.9:15). So our salvation explains the spiritual bodies.

I am posting this in the wee hours since I woke up around 3.0 AM with this revelation

"Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience." James 1:3 KJV

God being all knowing. How long will the test or trying of faith last? When will the trying of your faith end? When will tests and trials end. It will last as long as God allows it to last. Why so long? Because God knows how much a believer an bear (even though the believer, themselves may not realize how much they can actually bear). The trying of our faith comes from God. He (God) created the test therefore He knows how long it should last. God created and administers all tests according to each ones ability. The testing of our faith comes from God. If the test lasts longer than we think it should then the believer needs to exam and question themselves as to why God saw fit to give a test that does not seem to end. A believer should be glad if God allows some relief or happy times during the trying of their faith and if the trying of faith lasts a long time or seems like it will never end then know that God is working things out for the good of the believer (you want to go to heaven right?). If a believer wants to see God's face in peace, a believer (with God's help) must endure to the end, wavering or wanting nothing (in other words you want to live a right according to the word of God), "be steadfast" "be unmovable" "continue in the faith" "be Christ minded" "focus on the things of God" God knows where a believer (or sinner is) at all times "he never sleeps nor slumbers" "the only wise God." It's not so much that the test is so trying it's that sinful flesh is so corrupt...and it will take the trying or testing of a believers faith to ensure a believer qualifies to exist in the presence of God, here on earth and then in eternity. "be still and know that He is God"

Ps.2:2 "Why do the heathen rage?"

"The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,"

The heathen are the false worshippers who want only literal context and also hermeneutics fit with their flesh: politically correct is one way they muzzle truth. So when one polician speaks of 'migrant caravan' the mouthpiece of imposter church repeats the lie from his radio show. It is a conspiracy nevertheless. The Psalm faults their conspiracy being against the Lord and his anointed.

There is nothing hidden so when one speaks truth it shall so happen that it is as one shouted it from roof top. "Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops."( Luke 12:2-3). The false worshippers, the heathen forget that those who are counted as being born in Zion have their own life in the world of the Spirit. The Psalm calls them as the great congregation. A clue of which we have in Re.5. The 24 elder well knew who was worthy to break open the book with seven seals. The Memorial in Heaven is the body of heaven. The elders and the four beast know the mind of God and when they worship God we hear the great congregation responding. "And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;"(Re.5:11-14) We have another incident where whatever war plan the King of Syria discussed the prophet would get the wind of it.

This congregation shall establish truth in that day when soul of man is before the white throne. So do I worry if what I post here in this forum, as 'tares'? If truth is lie to them it is God who shall defend me. I am heard and what the Spirit has had shall reward me accordingly. " Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling."(Ps.2:11)

Everlastig covenant: everlasting burnings

Is.34:8

"For it is the day of the Lord's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion." What was the controversy of Zion? It is what made the sinners in Zion afraid. God counted everyone born in Zion. True worshippers were glad and those who made flesh his arm made a lie of the promises of God and of his holiness. It is thus we see who are the blessed and who are the sons of perdition. The latter would not enter into the day seven. So the beast with the number 666 denotes the body is from Adam who disobeyed God and was expelled from His presence. His spirit and soul are equally tained so 666 fits these sons of perdition.

In an earlier post we discussed the lie the imposter church used to further their earthly glories. Satan tempted the sinners of Zion the earthly glories. They took it with both hands. Jesus rejected the tempter. "Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."( Matt.4:10) So the sons of Adam are a different for whom their inheritance is cast in the outer darkness. (De.32:8). What was 'the curse of Ham?

The first written use of the Curse of Ham to justify slavery appeared in the 15th century, when a Portuguese historian, and In the American colonies the Curse of Ham served as the ideological justification for African slavery. The Puritan colonisers of the New World bought slaves in large numbers to turn Providence, Rhode Island, into a Christian "city on a hill". All were deemed the progeny of Canaan. Of the many ways that Christians have invoked the Bible to justify their actions, none has exceeded in cruelty and wilful ignorance their appropriation of the "Curse of Ham" to justify slavery. Government officials and slave traders were instantly sold to the idea: Moralizing effect of salvation to the soul of a slave as though depended on systematic violence. Do you not see Ro.5:12 in action?

What happens to u when u die?

Everlasting covenant- the lights to rule (2 of 2)

There cannot be everlasting burnings without the everlasting covenant. Where does the true worshippers dwell?"He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure."(Is.34:14-16). So the nations that dare not come to the true light because their deeds are evil are interchangeable. Cursed are they so the light to rule in the everlasting covenant shall be till their second death.

"And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified." (Re.11:8) Jerusalem is cursed as much as Egypt is. Coming back to the emerging nations in Ge.10 they are moving farther away "as they journeyed from the east" (11.2) are all under the curse. So what does Noah cursing Canaan would indicate? Canaan as with every other have made flesh his arm. "And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth./He was a mighty hunter before the Lord" Jeremiah's verse tells the true facts while "sinners in Zion" underpin the evil of slavery on the basis of color. They dare not come to the light because they have a culture war to fight.

1:18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

This darkness shall have the days and nights and the light is provided from the new earth. God is merciful and for the sinners lake of fire is the last stop.

For the saints redeemed from the earth God gives them light. "And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever."(Re.22:5)

Everlasting covenant-the lights to rule (1 of 2)

"And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good./ And the evening and the morning were the fourth day."(Ge.1:18-19)

God set the two lights as a sign and they were to keep the from the darkness. So Jesus as the true light is he who separates the true worshippers from the darkness which refers to the outer darkness. "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved./ He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God./And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil./For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved./But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." It is the light separates true worshippers (who approach it so that their deeds may be made manifest,)from false worshippers. So what they do is truth. "I am the truth". They are wrought in God is what 'the seed in itself' would mean.

They know that they were called in the Son to be holy and without blame. "Be ye holy for I am holy" therefore has been planted as a seed in their hearts. So for the false worshippers whose heart has gone astray. "Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD."

(Je.17:5-7)

Zion that is set on earth is where these false worshippers are afraid. " The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?" They know they shall be judged by everlasting fire. Why?

Everlasting covenant- the waters (2 of 2)

"There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High."(Ps.46:4). Haggai predicted "Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land."(Hag.2:6) But true worshippers shall have no need for alarm."Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof" we have God our refuge and our strength.

What the liars of Ephraim have made shall not stand. The true worshippers who are blessed by the covenant half their refuge and it is named. Zion is founded and the covenant is drawn up between God and Man. "Therefore thus saith the Lord 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."(Is.28:16). God made a count of those who were born in Zion. "And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: And the highest himself shall establish her. The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, That this man was born there."(Ps.87:5-6) When I am born there before the foundation of the world why would I want to sit with false worshippers, " Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness?". God also made two lights to indicate the Throne of God and of the Lamb.(Re.22:1). These lights are for the earth for those in the outer darkness. "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also./And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth." (1:15-16) These two lights are the signs. God showed Abraham them, "Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable./These all died in faith." (He.11)

"Everlasting covenant-The waters (1 of 2)

The Genesis account of sovereignty of God is Spirit based. "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."(Ge.1:2). This Psalm annotates it thus: "The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein./ For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. (Ps.24:1-2). So how do they should worship God? " But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him./ God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." Everlasting covenant therefore separates true worshippers from the sort Isaiah talked about. "Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men."(Is.29:13) Of precepts of men the prophet introduced in the previous chapter,(28:13) The imposter church as with the nation of Israel has been ensnared by the doctrine of men. A sample of it is in the hermeneutics where literal meaning is given pride of pace. They would even lie in order to make slavery the morally reprehensible original sin of the USA acceptable. Whether the church want it not God is going to flush out all the filth. As Isaiah says, "Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves."(v.14)

Everlasting covenant follows after the Spirit worked with the face of the waters. God's throne is set over mankind and the covenant is binding on them. The true worshippers are like many streams flowing into the river of God.(Ps.46:4)

A conversation based on predestination and election and determining if "we're special".

Today; in the midst of competing a discussion on Psalm 2; somehow I made a fleeting statement on how I believed in Predestination (maybe related to those who perish in Revelation who take the mark of the Beast). In any event; along with a disagreement I had with one lady who is the most vocal at this Bible Study and who is a diehard Catholic she stated that we shouldn't consider ourselves "special" related to what she considered a misguided opinion that indeed I was called and chosen (her issue was that Christ died for everyone).

Of course; even a diehard Calvanist will be the first to tell you that we aren't picked because we have any value-it is simply God's grace. My point is now that we are saved and know it; how do we define this blessing now; and in the future when He exalts us in heaven? Being His adopted children now certainly is "special"; even though as Paul said he was treated as the scum of the world ( 1 Cor. 4:13). Jesus; of course whose visage was marred more than any man for our sake on the way to the cross ( Isaiah 52:14) was uniquely loved by the Father and has a singular exaltation as Creator above all of creation as He should.

As His children we are called to be different from the world and part of His Body (see John 17:15-21). We are to be "salt and light" ( Matthew 5:13-16) and His sheep hear His voice ( John 10:27-28). What draws all men to Himself ( John 12:32) started with His Resurrection; but I would argue continues with the Spirit of God convicting men that lives within His church. To not have the power of sin and the fear of damnation as a reality is something which no one apart from His children can experience.

We should stand out; not as arrogant but as truly blessed; which comes of course from our character as well as our reverence for His Word and instructions of living; prayer and sanctification. John 15:18 shows the world hates us.

"Sons of Adam" (De.32:8)

"When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel."

According to the everlasting covenant God makes a distinction between sons of Adam and sons of last Adam. one is earthy and the other is heavenly. Inheritance of saints in light refers to Last Adam as a memorial. The four beasts commemorate the glory of Divine power and wisdom.

Israel lacking in wisdom remained in outer darkness since their eye of faith was never exercised. Literal hermeneutics would require historical context and we have just that. "Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?" (Matt.27:17,26) They chose Barabbas over Jesus because he was one of them. Meaning of the word "Son of the Father" Adam is son of God.( Luke 3:38). The Spirit is meticulous about events, names of people and places. Similarly we have another name that fits in the church age so we shall consider the Acts of the Apostles."But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith./Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him./And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? (Ac.13:8-12). We see the sons of Adam even in our times. Divine healing as a money spinning circus is done by those who have literally explained way to hell for those who have no stomach for holiness of God. Bar-Jesus was all for cultivating political connection, the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus as we see in our times. They all belong to outer darkness and are sons of Adam. Their inheritance are however "according to the children of Israel"

Blessedness of Man- inheritance (2 of 2)

The glory of saints in light is same as the glory of the Son. "I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do./And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was." ( John 17:4-5). The new name tells it all. 'To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receivethit."(Re.2:17)

Another aspect of their inheritance in Trinity. He was created "in our image and after our likeness." We already covered Body and Spirit and Soul is signified by the Lamb who was worthy to break open the book with seven seals. The body the church is female, the Bride while Christ is the Head. Soul of individual saint represents his kinship to the head. The everlasting covenant explains the Son "Male and female created he them".

Glory of Power and Wisdom is the soul aspect of Trinity so How does the Spirit explain the mercy of God? "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." (Is.59:9-12) The rationale behind parables, similies and allegories, the entire gamut of narrative mode the Spirit uses is to give glory so soul of man is nourished thereby. Ps.1 compares soul of man as the tree planted by the water. The Tree touches heaven and rooted from the earth. Jesus was like a tender plant ,"and as a root out of a dry ground." The covenant specifies that it was good. (Ge.1:11-12). Soul has to be good if man is planted by God. "Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up." Jesus said this to the Jews. (Matt.15:13)

Blessedness of Man- inheritance (1 of 2)

"The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations./ Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance."(Ps.33:11-12) This explains the essentials of the everlasting covenant.

What is the counsel of the Lord? It is the divine Will, which is a mystery"(Ep.1:9-13) and St Paul refers "That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:/ In whom also we have obtained an inheritance."God first trusted in the Man so his glory was his and as the Apostle says 'In whom ye also trusted," This chapter ought to be studied closely in order to understand the nature of our inheritance ("and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,"-v.18) and it fulfills all the seven days drawn in the covenant.

The counsel of the Father gives us inheritance in the light. 'Let there be light' He commanded and there was light. God "The Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:/Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son," has shown us what is his Son. He is upon where his heart is. So we have the heart compared to the apple of his eye. "For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye." (Ze.2:5) Israel in rejecting the Son is not part of the covenant. Coming to the key text, "the thoughts of his heart to all generations./ Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance," the Spirit is referring to the saints in light. God has chosen them.

Their glory is same as the glory of the Son. John 17:4-5; A new name tells it all. Re.2:17

Everlasting covenant:blessedness (1 of 2)

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance."(Ps.33:12). Further down we read that for this reason he made their hearts alike. It means that each one is given same quality. " From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth./ He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works." What does that signify. Jesus said, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." (Matt.7:7-8) There is no ifs and buts but truth. For this reason you do not need teachers but the same Spirit that has given you the Bible. You ask with believing and God shall open your eyes. So your vision concerns your eye of faith. "Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he."( Pr. 29:18). The law of God is the Word forever settled in heaven. (Ps.119:89)

So nations that have rejected God has lost their vision.

How come Israel is now accused of genocide? For that how the US is roiled by criminality of their POTUS? These nations have had their good old days and when they seem to say as Isaiah say 'woe unto them'. "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!/ Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!"(Is.5:20-21). So man prides of being a sober genius and spins a false narrative to gloss over hs criminal conduct. Nations that believe in lies above moderation and equity are on their way out. Blessedness of wholly following God they have rejected. For them there is no hope unless they truly repent and come back to the lord. "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection:"(Re.20:6a)

1Corinthians 6:9-10KJV say:

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of GOD? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of GOD.

And the Lord JESUS warned: Luke 21:34-36KJV:

34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that Day(Lord's Day, the seventh and last Day or seventh and last millennium) come upon you unawares.

35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to ESCAPE all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Lord JESUS said more: Matthew 13:40-43KJV

40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the END of THIS WORLD. ( 1Corinthians 15:24-26)

41 The Son of man shall send forth His angels(mainly Michael), and they shall gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father( Revelation 11:15-18 and Daniel 12:3). Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

"In that day" Josh.14:12-13

We shall continue with nations on the basis of the everlasting covenant. Holiness of God include love justice among other things. Israel for all their sins would not be entirely cast off. A remnant shall be redeemed from the nation. Here we have an example. "Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the Lord spake in that day, "speaks of the day of regeneration. "In that day" mentioned here is of the same color and weight as 'unto this day".Now we have an example for the latter, "Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the Lord God of Israel."(v.14). The significance of Hebron we have in "In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah."( 2 Sa.5:5) God the Father and the Son are one. ( John 10:30). So what does this separation of Hebron from Jerusalem indicate? The same as sons of last Adam and of Adam respectively. Their inheritance also differs. Blessedness of man in the covenant assures their inheritance as well.

In this context Kaleb represents the righteousness from following the Lord God wholly. This is regardless of nations under whichever names may come, Israel, the UK or USA are interchangeable.

Everlasting Covenant- Nations

When God blessed man in the covenant he did so in his Son. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:/According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love" This is different in quality than what the following verse indicates.

"When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel."(De. 32:8). Who are the sons of Adam who himself disobeyed and was expelled from the Garden of God? He lost his glory and to his shame realized that he was naked. This is where we come across the outer darkness. The ground was cursed because of sin it never left his sons. Even after the great flood we find in the tower of babel that sons of Adam are different from the blessed saints who are adopted to Him in the last Adam.

St John explains the difference. " He came unto his own, and his own received him not." Israel rejected him because they were the sons of Adam. They drew their claim from their lineage was from the loins of the earthy Adam. Whereas last Adam is the Lord from heaven. "And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit."( 1 Co.15:45-50)

"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:/ Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God". ( John 1:11-13) The outer darkness comes into its own when the holy city of God descends from heaven to the mid-air. So separation of nations arise according to the everlasting covenant as sons of Adam are different from that of Last Adam. By literalism the imposter church let the reprobate nation come into the body of Christ.

Everlastig covenant- separation

"And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness."(Ge.1:4)

In order to show the relevance of this separation of ight from darkness we shall take up the emergence of nations. .

"And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof./And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it."(Re.21:23-24) This is separate from Outer darkness .The separation explains the blessedness of the first resurrection. "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power,"(Re.20:6) God blessed man (Ge.1:28). This covenant is everlasting so who has parti in the first resurrection leave no confusion. Not nations but man who is in Jesus Christ blessed. He is a tree of righteousness whose seed is in itself. "and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth."(Ge.1:11)

On the other hand we see the wicked children of darkness showing the quality of lucifer who said, "I will". " will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High./Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit."(Is.14:14-15). Nations emerging from the children of Noah we have th point of time they dwelt onthe plains of Shinar. What was the driving force? " And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven;"(Ge.11:4) DNA of Lucifer, is it not? Similarly Israel says,"Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt."(Nu.14:4) They resisted God and Moses. For this reason Jesus said, "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."( John 8:44-45)

The Millennial Reign- Re.20:5-6 (2 of 2)

"And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days."(Ge.7:24) 150 days point to the Son. 50x3 where command number Three brings Jesus Christ in direct frame of reference. A jubilee year marking 50 years where the land reverts to the Lord. ("for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me"-Le.25:23).

God specifically commands to colonise the earth. "Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth."(6:17) Lives of Noah and family were based on gospel where 12x10 indicates ma's life on the gospel and not on the law of Moses. Thus new earth and new heaven is set on the gospel of God.

The ark had three stories and Noah as a steward over His creation sets the memorial of 24elders and four beasts connect: worlds of the Spirit and of the body are to be as one. False teachers instead encourage serving God and mammon instead. Without glory what is Zion or New Jerusalem? This is what the millennial reign in the mid-air shall indicate."For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea."(Hab.2:14) This is indicated in the great flood. "And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered."(Ge.7:19)

No event in the word of God stands aloof from the everlasting covenant presented in the first chapters of the Book of Genesis. All these consist of and by Jesus Christ.

Revelation 5:8-10

8And when he had taken the book,the four living beings and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb,having every one of them harps,and golden vials full of odours,which are the prayers of saints.

9And they sung a new song,saying,Thou art worthy to take the book,and to open the seals thereof:for thou wast slain,and hast redeemed us to GOD by thy blood out of every kindred,and tongue,and people,and nation;

10And hast made us unto our GOD kings and priests:and WE shall reign on the earth.(JESUS said:Mat.5:5 Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth).

Revelation 11:15-18

15And the seventh angel sounded;and there were great voices in heaven( Ephesians 1:3-8),saying,The kingdoms OF THIS WORLD(world of Devil)are become the kingdoms of our Lord,and of His Christ;and He shall reign for ever and ever. ( 1Corinthians 15:24-27

24Then the END come,when He shall have delivered up the Kingdom to GOD,even the Father;when He shall have PUT DOWN all rule and all authority and power.25For He must reign,till He hath put all enemies under His feet.26The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death)

16And the four and twenty elders,which sat before GOD on their seats,fell upon their faces,and worshipped GOD,

17Saying,We give thee thanks,O Lord GOD Almighty,which art,and wast,and art to come;because thou hast taken to thee thy great power,and hast reigned.

18And the nations were(WILL be)angry,and thy wrath is come,and the time of the dead,that they should be Judged,and that thou should give reward unto thy servants the prophets,and to the saints,and them that fear thy name,small and great;and should destroy them which destroy the earth

8But the fearful(the COWARDS),and unbelieving,and the abominable,and murderers,and whoremongers,and sorcerers,and idolaters,and all liars,shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone

And now JESUS WILL RETURN AGAIN HERE IN THE SAME PLACE from where He ascended to the third heavenly environment and a cloud RECEIVED Him: Acts 1:10-11)-->10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come IN LIKE MANNER as ye have seen Him go into heaven.

yes, He will again return now IN LIKE MANNER to the same place from where He ascended, and He will reign and lead us in new celestial environment ( Ephesians 1:3) by His power, for a period of 1.000 years, the SAME CLOUD also will appear again, understand?) , as it is revealed in Philippians 3:20-21: -->20 For our conversation is in heaven (heaven: Ephesians 1:3. Take a look.)-; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto himself. By the way, He made it very clear when He said: All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth- Matthew 28:18.

Get ready,Behold, the bridegroom cometh;go ye out to meet Him- Matthew 25:6.

Lets pray

Unfortunately,there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Re.18:1-3

According to GOD's Word,what needs to happen first? Exactly what is written in Revelation 18:1-5,i.e. the Judgment of the Great Whore,as follows:

1And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven,having great power;and the earth was lightened with his glory.

2And he cried(will cry)mightily with a strong voice,saying,Babylon the great is fallen,is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils,and the hold of every foul spirit,and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

3For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication,and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her...

Get ready

Exodus 19:11 & 14-20

11And be ready against the third day:for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

14And Moses went down from the mount unto the people,and sanctified the people;and they washed their clothes.

15And he said unto the people,Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.

16And it came to pass on the third day in the morning,that there were thunders and lightnings,and a thick cloud upon the mount,and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud;so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.

17And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with GOD;and they stood at the nether part of the mount.

18And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

19And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and GOD answered him by a voice.

20And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.

John 2:18-20

18Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

19Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

20Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

Hebrews 1:1-2

1GOD, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

2Hath in these last days (last two Days or last 2000 years)spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds;

The third Day arrived, the clothes must be washed,the Lord shall descend from heaven(from the 3rd heaven),the dead in Christ shall rise first- 1Thessalonians 4:16 and Revelation 19:7-8.
