13 Promise of the Messiah

1. The promise of the Messiah

!          The way back to the country, the most holy place of Eden: The Messiah

①   The Son will come in the name of the Father.

2Chr.2:6 But who is able to build him a house, seeing heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain him? who am I then, that I should build him a house, save only to burn incense before him?

†   The heaven and heaven of heavens probably mean the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd heaven.[1] It is the creation world. God who created the creation world is greater than the creation world, so the creation world cannot contain Him.[2] Therefore, God places the throne at the highest place in the creation world[3], puts His name there[4], and commands His creatures through that name to rule over the creation world.[5] We can see by looking at the name that God has placed in the sanctuary on earth, that God has placed His name on the throne of the true sanctuary placed in the heaven of angels.[6]

Ex.3:2 The angel of Yahweh appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

Ex.3:3 Moses said, I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

Ex.3:4 When Yahweh saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, "Moses! Moses!" He said, "Here I am."

†   Apparently, the Angel of Yahweh appeared in flames of fire from within a bush. But it is written that 'God' called to Moses from within the bush.[7] This does not mean that God appeared as an angel. I believe that God sent an angel in God's name to act as God in His place. Angels cannot be God[8], and God came as Adam[9], not an angel.[10] When sinful creatures see God[11], they die.[12] However, because God came as a creature[13], angels and humans do not die even when they see God.[14] Because the angel appeared in the name of God, even though the one who appeared as God was an angel who was only a creature, he/she who saw the name of God saw God. It means that it would be the same situation as when he/she actually saw God.[15]

†   Because the Son had not yet entered into the creation world, I believe that neither humans nor any angels could have seen God.[16] I believe that even angels would have seen God only when God the Son became a creature and revealed Himself to His creation world.[17] In addition, not only humans of Hades but also angels in heaven are not able to make peace with the Father.[18] Because the possibility to sin still remains in the creatures granted free will.[19] God's love and justice which is proved through the blood of the cross[20], are still in the process of being proved.[21] Without realizing the truthfulness of God, the possibility to sin remaining in creatures is not extinguished. This is because the creatures cannot love God with all their heart. In order for creatures to never again misunderstand the love and justice of God who gave commandments to them, the truthfulness of the commandments must be fully proved.[22] If the martyrs who were forgiven in the blood of the Son keep the commandments and overcome death[23], the truthfulness of the commandments will be finally proved.[24] Through the resurrection and the transformation of the martyr witnesses, God's love and justice are confirmed to the creatures who have been granted free will.[25] Before that time, angels can still misunderstand God and thus sin at any time. Therefore, I speculate that angels whose free will is not perfected will also die if they see God. (I do not think the creatures will be able to see the Creator even when the free will of them is completed.[26] To the Creator[27], even space-time is only a creature[28], but the creatures cannot escape even space-time.[29])

†   Here, God's appearing within a bush means that the Creator Son will come to Hades as the Last Adam.[30] After Adam sinned, the ground was cursed and produced thorns and thistles. The body is the cursed ground.[31] Thorns and thistles are the sinful nature. The sinful nature arises from the cursed body. The Son will become Adam and will put on a cursed body from which sinful nature arises.[32] It was expressed as the fire of glory within the thornbush that God would put on the cursed flesh.

1Tim.3:16 Without controversy, the mystery of godliness is great: God was revealed in the flesh, Justified in the spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the nations, Believed on in the world, And received up in glory.

†   Only when the Son entered into the creation world through Hades that angels finally came to be able to see the Son.[33]

Col.1:20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross. Through him, I say, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens.

†   God paid a tremendous price to reconcile all the creaturs[34] in heaven and Hades with the Father. The Father forsook His Son on the cross, and the Son was cut off from His Father in behalf of Adam, by being cursed[35] in place of guilty Adam.[36] Through the sacrifice of the forsaken Son[37], that is, through the blood of the Son, God's love and justice are revealed to the creation world.[38] The creatures who realize God's love and justice come to love God with willingness and trust in God from their hearts.[39] The creaturs who come to love God keep the commandments that God has given them.[40] It is not that the creatures worship God because they are afraid and do not murder because they are afraid[41], but they worship because they love and cannot kill because they love.[42] Therefore, when the creatures realize the love of the Creator, no more sin will occur in the creation world.[43] That is why the blood of the Son shed on the cross reconciles the creatures to their Creator.[44] The free will of the creatures is completed through the blood of the Son shen on the cross.[45] Creation is finally completed.[46] Rest is made in the creation world[47], and the creatures who have ceased to sin forever will be able to draw closer to God.[48]

†   Therefore, in my opinion, there is no creature who can see God the Father, who hides Himself in the creation world[49], at least before God affirms His love on the cross.[50] If the free will of angels was immediately completed through the cross, at least there would be a possibility for the angels to see God the Father after the crucifixion. However, I believe that the free will of the angels has not yet been completed, since the proof of the truthfulness of the commandments has not yet been fully completed until the present day of 2020, after the crucifixion. The firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep, the LORD Jesus, has already come out[51], and the saints who have the firstfruits of the Spirit are also still coming out now.[52] But those who are redeemed from among men and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb have not yet come out.[53] The number of martyrs has not been completed yet.[54] Therefore the resurrection and the transformation cannot take place yet.[55] In other words, the truthfulness of the commandments has been partially proven, but not yet fully proven. There must be more martyr witnesses who love God and their neighbors even to death.[56] That is why God allows Satan to kill the saints.[57] Only those who overcome sin can overcome death and be resurrected or changed.[58] Therefore, the truthfulness of the commandments is proved through the resurrection and the transformation.[59] The possibleness of observance of the commandments, the truthfulness of the commandments, fully reveals the love and justice of God. When the truthfulness of the commandments is proved through the resurrection and the transformation, all false doubts about God that remain in the creatures are completely annihilated. Accordingly, the free will of the angels is finally completed only after the resurrection and the transformation.[60] Hence, in order for the angels to have a chance to be able to see the Father, the angels must first confirm the resurrection and the transformation of the martyr witnesses.[61] I am not saying that after the resurrection and the transformation take place, the angels will surely be able to see the Father. It means that only after seeing the truthfulness of the commandments proved through the resurrection and the transformation, and after the free will of the angels has been completed, the possibility of seeing the Father to the angels will be possible at least. However, even if the free will of the angels is completed at the time of resurrection and transformation, the time when the Son destroys all enemies and completes creation[62] in order to return the creation world to the Father[63] is after the great white throne judgment. For that reason, I believe that there will be a possibility for creatures, whether angels of humans, to see the Father only after the great white throne judgment. (Although I do not conclude that after the great white throne judgment, the creatures will actually be able to see the Father. Creatures cannot escape even space or time. Creatures can know the Creator only as much as the Creator has allowed them to know.[64])

†   Any further guessing would be meaningless I think, so I quit at this point. Anyway, I believe that the first time that creatures, whether angels or humans, actually saw God[65], was when God the Son was born as a human in Hades.[66] Can it be that God[67], the Creator Son[68] who made space-time[69], is trapped in space-time from the beginning? If God the Son had entered into the earth through heaven of angels, the angels might have been able to see God the Son from the time He passed through the heaven of angels before He came to the earth.[70] However, if God the Son had determined to be conceived immediately in Hades, the angels would not have been able to see God the Son before that.

†   The LORD Jesus says that the angels of little ones always see the face of the Father in heaven.[71] I believe this also does not mean that the angels see the real Creator Father.[72] This probably means that the angels of little ones see the name placed on the throne in heaven of angels[73] or the angel who keeps the name.[74]

†   If all these arguments are wrong, and if we suppose God the Father, who is greater than all[75], actually sits on the throne of the heaven of angels, and God the Son, who is at the Father's side[76], was sent by the Father to inherit the Father's name, if we suppose the Son came to Hades from the heaven of angels, even so, it does not matter at all for creatures to fulfill God's will by loving God and loving their neighbors. The important thing is to obey God to accomplish the purpose for which He made us. It is not necessary to know all the knowledge.[77] We must know the necessary knowledge, but God did not record in detail in the Bible so that we must know for sure about the parts we do not need to know.[78] Creatures know only as much as the Creator has made them known.[79]

John1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.

†   All those who say they have seen God, have seen angels sent in the name of God.[80] Consequently, no one has ever seen God. And the LORD Jesus, who is God the Son, revealed Himself in the creation world, confined in space-time, in His Father's name.[81]

John5:43 I have come in my Father's name, and you don't receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

John10:25 Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you don't believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these testify about me.

John17:11 I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.

John17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. Those whom you have given me I have kept. None of them is lost, except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

Rev.14:1 I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.

†   Here, the name of the Son who is the Lamb, and the name of the Father are spoken together. If the Father's name and the Son's name are different, this may also mean that God has written both the Father's name and the Son's name on the foreheads of 144000. However, when we see the Son coming in the name of the Father, it is highly likely that only one glorious name 'Jesus' is written on the foreheads of 144000. If the meaning of 'the Son came in the name of the Father' means that the Son came with only the authority contained in the Father's name, regardless of the actual title, then the Father's name and the Son's name given to creatures to worship could be different. However, if it means that the Son is called in the name of the Father that God placed in the creation world[82], then the Father and the Son are using the same name in the creation world as 'Jesus' which means 'Yahweh is salvation'[83], that is, 'He who exists is salvation'[84].

†   The LORD Jesus said to baptize in the name of the Father, the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.[85] But we baptize only in the name of 'Jesus'.[86] In view of this, it is possible that the names of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit placed in the creation world are one as 'Jesus'. God the Holy Spirit comes in the name of the Son.[87] Therefore, God the Holy Spirit, who has the name of 'Jesus', is indwelling the saints who received God the Holy Spirit.[88] It does not mean that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are the same One, but they use 'name' together. God the Father is not God the Son[89], God the Son is not God the Holy Spirit[90], and God the Holy Spirit is not God the Father.[91] (It is not something that creatures dare to know about what the Creator really is. No matter what the creatures imagine, they are only struggling within the limits of the imagination allowed by the Creator. Creatures can know only as much as the Creator has made them known. God the Father is God the Father, God the Son is God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit is God the Holy Spirit. Whether it is an angel or a human[92], what can a single creature which is only an ephemera at best, know any more?[93])

②   The Son will be conceived by God the Holy Spirit and will be born of a woman.

Rev.12:1 A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.

†   This woman symbolizes the people of God who will give birth to the seed of a woman.[94] This woman, the people of God, embraces the covenant. The LORD Jesus comes through the people who embrace the covenant, and begets the people who embrace the covenant. The LORD Jesus came through the people of God who embraced the first covenant[95], and begot the people of God who embraced the new covenant.[96] The woman before the coming of the seed of a woman symbolizes the bride of the Son to come[97], but the woman after the coming of the seed of a woman symbolizes the bride of the Son who has come.[98] The bride comes out through the bridegroom[99], but the bridegroom also comes through the woman who will be the bride.[100] The bride who loves her groom becomes an army against the groom's enemies.[101] Through Israel, a man who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter comes out[102], and through Christ, the church that will rule the nations with an iron scepter comes out.[103]

†   The sun clothed around the woman, symbolizes God.[104] That is, the Father and the Son who sits on the throne.[105] The Father is the Son's Witness.[106] The moon on which the woman is standing symbolizes a witness who will testify of the truthfulness of God[107] who will judge sinners. The moon is the Son, the faithful witness.[108] The 12 stars of the crown worn by a woman are the saints.[109] The 12 stars are the firstfruits[110], the witnesses who will prove the truthfulness of the commandments through God the Holy Spirit.[111] The 12 stars symbolize the spiritual 12 tribes of Israel who will trample on their enemies.[112] The 12 stars symbolize the apostolic authority of the 12 apostles[113] who help the LORD Jesus[114], who is the chief cornerstone of the church that can overcome the power of Hades.[115] God the Holy Spirit Himself is a witness.[116]

†   The Father testifies of the Son[117], the Son testifies of Himself[118], and God the Holy Spirit testifies of the Son through the saints.[119] When we see the sun as the Father, the moon is the Son and the stars are the saints. When we see the sun as the Son who is God, the moon is the Son who became a creature, and the stars are the saints. In other words, the woman who is the church, clothed with witnesses who testify of the Son. The woman who is surrounded by the sun, the moon, and the stars, is surrounded by the Father, the Son, and the saints who have been witnesses through God the Holy Spirit.[120]

†   The Son is the reason and the purpose of the existence of creatures.[121] Creatures exist because of the Son and were made for the Son.[122] Therefore, a creature is of no value unless it is a creature for the Son.[123] The Son completes the creation of creatures by proving God's love and justice.[124] The Son proved them on the cross.[125] Through the resurrection[126], the Son Himself proved the truthfulness of the commandments.[127] The Son opened the way for God the Holy Spirit to come upon the saints with His own blood shed on the cross.[128] The Son allows witnesses who have received God the Holy Spirit to prove the truthfulness of the commandments.[129] The destiny of each of the creatures is determined through the Son who is the criterion of existence.[130] The Son will leave only the creatures that obey Him, and will throw into the lake of fire the trash that rebel against the rule of love and trample on their neighbors.[131]

Rev.12:2 She was with child. She cried out, laboring and in pain, giving birth.

†   The woman clothed with the sun, the moon, and the stars, who are the witnesses of the Son, gives birth to the Son who is the only hope of the creatures.[132] The Son comes through the people of God who will be the bride[133], and through the Son the people of God are perfected as the bride.[134] In other words, through the people of God who embraced the covenant, the substance of the covenant comes. Through the Seed of a woman[135], sin will be extinguished and everything under sin will be thrown into the lake of fire.[136] Therefore, Satan who is under sin[137], tries to kill the Seed of a woman who is his Creator.[138]

③   The Son will come as a creature with the authority to judge.

John5:22 For neither does the Father judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son,

John5:23 that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him.

John5:27 He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

†   The Son will sit on the throne and judge.[139] The Son is the criterion of judgment.[140] Those who receive the Son who rule by the commandments of love will be saved from the judgment, and all others will be judged.[141] The Son judges after ascending to the throne of the heaven of angels.[142] In order for the Son to ascend to the throne, He must take the cross.[143] Only when the Son became a human and took up the cross can He prove the thing He has determined to prove to the creation world.[144] Therefore, the Son became a creature to judge the sinning creatures by taking the cross and sitting on the thone of judgment.[145]

 

④   The Son will come with the life of the Father.

John5:21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.

John5:24 "Most assuredly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

John5:25 Most assuredly, I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God's voice; and those who hear will live.

John5:26 For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.

†   The Father gives life to creatures only through the Son. Therefore, the Son is the life of the creatures.[146] Hence, those who receive the Son have life, and those who reject the Son are cut off from life and die.[147] The Son reigns by the commandments of love. Consequently, only those who love God and obey the commandments receive the Son.[148]

†   For those who have left God, the commandments is the law of condemnation.[149] Those who violate the commandments are condemned by the commandments and die. The commandments are life only to those who obey them. By keeping the commandments, he/she proves that he/she is obedient to the Son's reign, and he/she comes to life. The commandments are the fruit of life to those who love God and their neighbors, and the fruit of good and evil to those who do not love God and their neighbors. The creatures who will escape judgment and survive and those who will be judged and thrown into the lake of fire are divided by the commandments.[150] But no human being, in a cursed body of thorns and thistles can keep the commandments on his/her own.[151] Therefore, in order to obey the commandments, we must take up our own cross. Only those who take up their cross and follow the Son have life.[152] God the Holy Spirit comes upon those who take up their cross.[153] They keep the commandments through God the Holy Spirit, so to them the commandments are not the law of death[154], but the law of life.[155]

[47] Rev.21:4 He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away. He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true."

[48] 2Cor.5:14 For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died. He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

[49] Is.45:15 Most assuredly you are a God who hid yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.'

[50] Rom.5:8 But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

[51] 1Cor.15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.

[52] Rom.8:23 Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

[53] Rev.14:4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

[54] Rev.6:9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had. They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" A long white robe was given them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, completed their course.

[55] 1Cor.15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.

[56] John15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.

[57] Job2:3 Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause." Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has will he give for his life. But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face."

[58] 1Cor.15:54 But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: "Death is swallowed up in victory." "Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

[59] Job1:8 Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil." Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing? Haven't you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face."

[60] 1Pet.1:12 To them it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into. Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ --

[61] Heb.11:35 Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

[62] 1Cor.15:25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

[63] 1Cor.15:28 When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.

[64] Matt.11:25 At that time, Jesus answered, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight. All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.

[65] John14:9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, 'Show us the Father?'

[66] John1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.

[67] John1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made.

[68] Col.1:16 For by him were all things created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.

[69] Rom.8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

[70] Matt.1:20 But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

[71] Matt.18:10 See that you don't despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

[72] 2Chr.6:18 But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain you; how much less this house which I have built!

[73] Ps.74:7 They have burned your sanctuary to the ground. They have profaned the dwelling-place of your Name.

[74] Gen.22:11 The angel of Yahweh called to him out of the sky, and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" He said, "Here I am."

[75] John10:29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father's hand.

[76] John1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.

[77] 1Cor.13:2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don't have love, I am nothing.

[78] 2Pet.3:16 as also in all of his letters, speaking in them of these things. In those are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unsettled twist, as they also do to the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

[79] John3:27 John answered, "A man can receive nothing, unless it has been given him from heaven.

[80] Judg.13:21 But the angel of Yahweh did no more appear to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of Yahweh. Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.

[81] Phil.2:6 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider it robbery to be equal with God, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross.

[82] Ex.3:13 Moses said to God, "Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you;' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' What should I tell them?"

[83] Matt.1:21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."

[84] Ex.3:14 God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.'"

[85] Matt.28:19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

[86] Acts2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

[87] John14:26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.

[88] 1Cor.6:19 Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

[89] John5:22 For neither does the Father judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him.

[90] 1John5:6 This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.

  1John5:6 This is he that came by water and blood, [even] Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.[KJV]

[91] John14:26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.

[92] Eph.3:10 to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,

[93] Job4:18 Behold, he puts no trust in his servants. He charges his angels with error. How much more, those who dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who are crushed before the moth!

[94] Gen.3:15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel."

[95] Rom.9:4 who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises; of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen.

[96] Luke22:20 He took the cup in like manner after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, that which is poured out for you.

[97] Ezek.16:7 I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you did increase and wax great, and you attained to excellent ornament; your breasts were fashioned, and your hair was grown; yet you were naked and bare. Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord Yahweh, and you became mine.

  Jer.3:8 I gave faithless Israel her certificate of divorce and sent her away because of all her adulteries. Yet I saw that her unfaithful sister Judah had no fear; she also went out and committed adultery.

[98] Gen.2:21 Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. He made the rib, which Yahweh God had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her to the man.

[99] Eph.5:31 "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh." This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.

[100] 1Cor.11:12 For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.

[101] Song6:10 Who is she who looks forth as the morning, Beautiful as the moon, Clear as the sun, Awesome as an army with banners?

[102] Rev.12:5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. Her child was caught up to God, and to his throne.

[103] Rev.2:26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations. He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots; as I also have received of my Father:

[104] Ps.84:11 For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

[105] Ps.89:36 that his line will continue forever and his throne endure before me like the sun;

  Ps.72:17 His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed.

[106] John5:31 "If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid. There is another who testifies in my favor, and I know that his testimony about me is valid.

  Matt.17:5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him."

[107] Ps.89:37 It will be established forever like the moon, The faithful witness in the sky." Selah.

[108] Rev.1:5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood;

  Rev.3:14 "To the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: "The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Head of God's creation, says these things:

[109] Dan.12:3 Those who are wise shall shine as the brightness of the expanse; and those who turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.

[110] Rom.8:23 Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

  Rev.14:4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb. In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.

[111] Acts2:32 This Jesus God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

  Rev.11:3 I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands, standing before the Lord of the earth.

[112] Rev.7:4 I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel: Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

  Gen.24:60 And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, "Our sister, may you increase to thousands upon thousands; may your offspring possess the gates of their enemies."

  Ps.2:8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession. You will rule them with an iron scepter; you will dash them to pieces like pottery."

  Rev.2:26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations. He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots; as I also have received of my Father:

[113] Rev.21:12 having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. On the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.

  Matt.19:28 Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

  Rev.1:20 the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies. The seven lampstands are seven assemblies.

[114] Eph.2:19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.

[115] Matt.16:18 I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.  Hos.13:14 "I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death. Where, O death, are your plagues? Where, O grave, is your destruction? "I will have no compassion,

[116] Acts5:30 The God of our fathers raised Jesus from the dead--whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree. God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might give repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel. We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."

[117] John8:17 It's also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid. I am he who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me."

[118] John8:13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, "You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid." Jesus answered them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don't know where I came from, or where I am going.

[119] Acts1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth."

[120] 1John5:8 For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is God's testimony which he has testified concerning his Son.

  Deut.19:15 One witness is not enough to convict a man accused of any crime or offense he may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.

[121] Is.43:21 the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.

[122] Col.1:16 For by him were all things created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.

[123] Is.43:7 everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made.

[124] Col.1:20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross. Through him, I say, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens.

[125] Rom.5:7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a righteous person someone would even dare to die. But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

[126] 1Cor.15:54 But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: "Death is swallowed up in victory." "Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

[127] 1Cor.15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.

[128] Acts2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

[129] 1Cor.15:54 But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: "Death is swallowed up in victory."

[130] John14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

[131] John3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."

[132] Rev.5:4 And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look in it. One of the elders said to me, "Don't weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome; he who opens the book and its seven seals."

[133] Gen.3:15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel."

[134] Matt.16:18 I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.

[135] Col.1:20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross. Through him, I say, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens.

[136] 1Cor.15:25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

[137] John8:44 You are of your Father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn't stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it.

[138] John19:10 Pilate therefore said to him, "Aren't you speaking to me? Don't you know that I have power to release you, and have power to crucify you?" Jesus answered, "You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin."

[139] Ps.50:6 The heavens shall declare his righteousness, For God himself is judge. Selah.

  Ps.96:13 Before Yahweh; for he comes, For he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, The peoples with his truth.

  Eccles.12:14 For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.

  Matt.16:27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.

  Matt.25:31 "But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

  Acts10:42 He charged us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.

  Acts17:31 because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; whereof he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead."

  Rom.2:16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ.

  Rom.14:10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, "'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.'"

  2Cor.5:10 For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

  2Thess.1:7 and to give relief to you that are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those who don't know God, and to those who don't obey the gospel of the LORD Jesus, who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

  2Tim.4:1 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:

  Heb.9:27 Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,

  Rev.19:11 I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war.

  John12:48 He who rejects me, and doesn't receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke, the same will judge him in the last day.

[140] John3:18 He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn't believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God. This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn't come to the light, lest his works would be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God."

[141] Ps.2:12 Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him. A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

[142] Ps.9:7 But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment. He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

[143] Heb.12:2 looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

[144] Phil.2:6 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider it robbery to be equal with God, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

[145] John5:26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself. And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.

[146] John11:25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he die, yet will he live. Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

  1John5:11 The testimony is this, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn't have God's Son doesn't have the life.

[147] John17:2 even as you gave him authority over all flesh, that to all whom you have given him, he will give eternal life.

[148] John3:19 This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn't come to the light, lest his works would be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God."

  John14:15 If you love me, keep my commandments.

[149] Rom.7:10 The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;

  Gen.2:17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it: for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die."

[150] Mark9:47 If your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out. It is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire, 'where their worm doesn't die, and the fire is not quenched.'

[151] Rom.7:18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing that which is good. For the good which I desire, I don't do; but the evil which I don't desire, that I practice. But if what I don't desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me. I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present. For I delight in God's law after the inward man, but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

[152] Matt.16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If any man desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?
