1. The reality of the shadow

Matt.5:17 "Don't think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn't come to destroy, but to fulfill.

Matt.5:18 For most assuredly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.

   The Son is the reality of the commandments spoken through the law or the prophets.[1] The law given through Moses was only a limited description of God the Son who would reveal Himself to His creation world as a creature.

Matt.5:20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Matt.5:21 "You have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'You shall not murder;' and 'Whoever shall murder shall be in danger of the judgment.'

Matt.5:22 But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment; and whoever shall say to his brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council; and whoever shall say, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.

Matt.5:27 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery;'

Matt.5:28 but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Matt.5:44 But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,

Matt.5:45 that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.

   God the Creator Himself tells us the true intention of the law, which was limitedly expressed to Moses through angels.[2] He sheds perfect light.[3] The law, the commandments, is the very life of the Son who leaves the example of loving God and neighbors.[4] We can be with God only if we must have not only the outward conduct as seen by the scribes and Pharisees but also the heart that makes the conduct true.[5] This is possible only through the power of God the Holy Spirit, and good deeds are the fruits of life that can only be produced when connected to the life of God.[6]

Matt.7:12 Therefore whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

   Love is the substance of the law, and the LORD Jesus is the manifestation of love.

Mark12:29 Jesus answered, "The greatest is, 'Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one:

Mark12:30 you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the primary commandment.

Mark12:31 The second is like this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

   God reigns by love, and God's love is revealed by the law.[7]

John1:14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Rom.13:10 Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.

   The law is fulfilled only through love. He/She who does not love God and does not love his/her neighbors can never obey the law. It is just a hypocrisy that only imitates. The LORD Jesus will complete creatures with those who love God and love their neighbors, and burn the rest of the trash that refuses to be completed[8], leaving only those who love God and love their neighbors.

 

   The Son was offered as sacrifices.

 Humans were judged because they broke the commandments. In order to atone for the humans who broke the commandments, God must sacrifice someone with a value equal to or higher than the value of the commandments. Thus, there is no one who can redeem humans among angels or other creatures in the creation world. There is no other being who can redeem humans except the Son of God who is the Creator Himself and the reason for the existence of creatures.[9]

A. The Son was offered as a burnt offering.

Lev.1:8 and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar;

Lev.1:9 but its innards and its legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.

   Burnt offerings are received by God as an aroma.

Eph.5:2 Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

   The Son was offered to God as a fragrant offering for a sweetsmelling fragrance. He offered as a burnt offering.

B. The Son was offered as a sin offering.

Lev.4:3 if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer for his sin, which he has sinned, a young bull without blemish to Yahweh for a sin offering.

Lev.4:4 He shall bring the bull to the door of the Tent of Meeting before Yahweh; and he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull, and kill the bull before Yahweh.

Lev.4:5 The anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bull, and bring it to the Tent of Meeting.

Lev.4:6 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before Yahweh, before the veil of the sanctuary.

Lev.4:7 The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before Yahweh, which is in the tent of meeting; and he shall pour out all the blood of the bull out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

Lev.4:8 He shall take all the fat of the bull of the sin offering off of it; the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards,

Lev.4:9 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away,

Lev.4:10 as it is taken off of the ox of the sacrifice of peace offerings. The priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.

Lev.4:11 The bull's skin, all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, its innards, and its dung,

Lev.4:12 even the whole bull shall he carry forth outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire. Where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned.

   Usually, the blood of a sin offering offered by a ruler or commoner is put on the horns of the altar of burnt offering and the rest of the blood is poured out at the base of the altar. But, the blood of the sin offering of the priest or whole Israelite community is sprinkled 7 times in front of the curtain before pouring it out at the base of the altar. Also, once a year, the blood of the sin offering on the Day of Atonement enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, the fat is burned on the altar, and the bodies are burned outside the camp. They lay their hands on the sin offering. The scene of laying hands is missing from the sin offering on the Day of Atonement in Lev.16. But, since the sin offering is generally offered after laying on hands[10], it is presumed that in addition to the Azazel scapegoat on the Day of Atonement, the goat offered to Yahweh was also laid on hands. However, according to Jewish tradition, the goat offered to Yahweh on the Day of Atonement was not laid on hands.

   In any case, the Son redeemed my sins[11], and since the cause of sin is Satan[12], the ultimate responsibility for sin falls on Satan. In other words, it is clear that the LORD Jesus symbolized as the goat for Yahweh, took my sins and the curse of the sins I ought to face.[13] And it is also evident that Satan symbolized as the Azazel goat, is liable for deceiving the Israelites who are the repentant saints, and causing them to sin. Through the laying on of hands, the doubts about God which the Azazel goat sowed upon the Israelites, are returned to the Azazel goat. Suspicion about God leaves a willingness for sin and eventually becomes a possibility to sin. Hence, doubts are passed on to the Azazel goat through laying on hands, which means that the Israelites will never sin again. When God judges sins, the saints who are repentant and atoned, can avoid punishment for sins they have committed. However, Satan who deceived the saints to sin, will not be able to escape the punishment for his own sins and for deceived his neighbors to sin.

Heb.13:11 For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside of the camp.

Heb.13:12 Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate.

   The Son was offered as a sin offering. The blood of the Son entered into the most holy place and the curtain of the temple was torn in two.[14] And the body of the Son suffered as if burned outside the city gate.

C. The Son was offered as a guilt offering.

Is.53:10 Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him; he has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Yahweh shall prosper in his hand.

D. The Son was offered as a fellowship offering.

Rom.5:10 For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.

Rom.5:11 Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through the LORD Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

2Cor.5:18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;

2Cor.5:19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.

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.

E. The Son offered as a grain offering.

Lev.2:11 "'No meal offering, which you shall offer to Yahweh, shall be made with yeast; for you shall burn no yeast, nor any honey, as an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

   The Son has no yeast, the false teachings.[15]

Lev.2:12 As an offering of firstfruits you shall offer them to Yahweh: but they shall not come up for a sweet savor on the altar.

   Yeast or honey can be offered as the firstfruits, but they are not to be offered as a pleasing aroma.

Lev.2:13 Every offering of your meal offering you shall season with salt; neither shall you allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your meal offering. With all your offerings you shall offer salt.

   Salt symbolizes the everlasting covenant.[16] The Son is peace.[17] The Son is the salt of the world.[18] Salt is the conversation full of grace.[19]

Lev.2:14 "'If you offer a meal offering of first fruits to Yahweh, you shall offer for the meal offering of your first fruits grain in the ear parched with fire, bruised grain of the fresh ear.

Lev.2:15 You shall put oil on it, and lay frankincense on it: it is a meal offering.

Lev.2:16 The priest shall burn as its memorial, part of its bruised grain, and part of its oil, along with all its frankincense: it is an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

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

   The Son is the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.[20]

 

   The Son is the sabbath and the jubilee.

   Wherever the Son goes, there is rest. The Son is the reality and the substance of the sabbath, the jubilee, the temple, and the heaven.

Matt.12:3 But he said to them, "Haven't you read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him;

Matt.12:4 how he entered into the house of God, and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for those who were with him, but only for the priests?

   The rest of the law is for life. Even if the bread is forbidden to eat except for priests[21], it is not a sin to give or eat if it is to save life. Mercy comes before sacrifice. Because there are sacrifices to accomplish mercy.[22] The sacrifices is to remove sin and destroy the work of the devil.[23] The Son obeyed His Father so that His creatures would never sin.[24] For the sake of substance to get rid of sin and destroy the work of the devil, there is symbol of regulations.[25] The regulation which is merely a symbol, is meaningless in itself unless it is for the sake of its substance. Sacrifices are of no value unless they are offered to fulfill God's law of mercy.[26] Since the fulfillment of mercy is the true meaning of sacrifices, the act of sacrifice is meaningful only when it is offered to live a life of fulfilling mercy.[27] Therefore, it is a part of the true sacrifice to give a dying man the consecrated bread, even if he violates the regulations to achieve mercy.[28] If the dying person had been left to die in order to keep the regulations, it would have been to make the sacrifice dirty. Cain offered sacrifices, but he did not fulfill mercy[29], and eventually became a person who did not offer any sacrifices.[30] Cain could not destroy the work of the devil.

Matt.12:5 Or have you not read in the law, that on the Sabbath day, the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are guiltless?

   In the temple where life is always given by rest, the meaning of the day of rest, the sabbath, is lost. So the temple is larger than the sabbath.

Matt.12:6 But I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.

   The temple is greater than the sabbath, but the Son who is the reality of the temple[31], is greater than the temple. Therefore, those who are in the Son do not violate the rest even if they work on the sabbath. Even working in the temple was not breaking the rest, but how can working in the Son who is the reality of rest, be breaking the rest? The model temple is just a symbol of the Son who is the true temple.

   The Son > the temple > sabbath

Matt.12:7 But if you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless.

   To heal the sick in order to achieve true rest on the day of rest, the sabbath, is not breaking the law, but fulfilling the law.

Matt.12:8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."

Num.28:9 On the Sabbath day two he-lambs a year old without blemish, and two tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour for a meal-offering, mixed with oil, and the drink-offering of it:

Num.28:10 this is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, besides the continual burnt-offering, and the drink-offering of it.

   Priests work in the couryard and the sanctuary of the temple slaughtering and offering sacrifices on the sabbath.

Mark2:26 How he entered into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the show bread, which it is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?"

Mark2:27 He said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

   It was expressed as the sabbath that God would accomplish the rest in the creation world, precisely for the Son and broadly for the creatures. It is for the Son that God accomplishes the rest in the creation world[32], but God of love also does not rest if His creatures fail to rest.[33] Only when God judges Satan fraudswarms and establishes the reign of love and justice in the creation world, the creatures in the creation world can finally rest. It is the sabbath, the 7th year sabbath of rest, and the jubilee year that is given as the symbol of rest. On the 7th day[34], the 7th 1000-year[35], the 1000-year kingdom[36], this rest will come true. Since God has given the sabbath as the symbol and the promise that God will surely fulfill the rest in the creation world, it is rather to deviate from the purpose that God gave us the sabbath when people lose their rest while trying to keep the sabbath.

Mark2:28 Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath."

   The sabbath was a foreshadowing of the rest that the Son would come and fulfill. The Son is the true rest, the rest is confirmed in the Son. Through God the Holy Spirit who came in the name of the Son, the rest is fulfilled to us now[37], and will be completed in the 1000-year kingdom in history and finally.[38] During the 1000-year kingdom, Satan will be confined in the abyss, and at the end of the 1000-year kingdom, Satan will be set free for a short time and thrown into the lake of fire.[39]

   Rest is judgment. Only when sin is judged, rest can be found in the creation world. The Son is the rest because the Son will judge Satan fraudswarms and annihilate sin from the creation world. The Son is the image of God[40], and the images of God who keep the commandments like the Son will come out.[41] These are the firstfruits[42], especially the firstfruits who are redeemed from among men.[43] When the appointed number of martyr witnesses who keep the commandments without saving their lives until death[44], is completed[45], the truthfulness of the commandments is finally confirmed, and the commandments stand as the proper basis for judgment. After that, judgment is finally executed against the wicked who are under sin and have been trampled on their neighbor creatures.[46]

   The sanctuary, the temple, symbolizes the creation world. Judgment for sin is made in the courtyard and the sanctuary. The place where judgment for sin is directly carried out is the courtyard where the beast symbolizing Satan is slaughtered.[47] The altar of burnt offering in the courtyard symbolizes Hades[48], the bronze sea[49] symbolizes the sea of glass.[50] And the sanctuary beyond the bronze sea symbolizes the heaven of angels.[51] The creation world is an area where sin can exist, a place where the existence of sin itself is extinguished, and a space where creatures who obey the Son are completed according to the purpose originally intended by God the Creator.

   Sin is burned at the altar of burnt offering. The altar of burnt offering symbolizes both the 1st and the 2nd deaths. The 1st death is forsaken on the cross and gave up His life[52] and the 2nd death is the lake of fire.[53] On the cross that the altar of burnt offering had foreshadowed, the Son took the sins of the repentant instead and was forsaken by His Father to fulfill the atonement. Satan fraudswarms will also be burned in the lake of fire symbolized by the altar of burnt offering. The blood of the Son who was forsaken by His Father on behalf of the repentant is offered up to the most holy place, and the atonement for the repentant is made. And as Satan fraudswarms burn in the lake of fire, judgment for sin is executed.

   The Son is God[54] who is in the flesh.[55] The Son is the temple itself, the most holy place, the dwelling place of God. Because the Son is God, and because God the Holy Spirit is with the Son, the body of the Son is the most holy place.[56] Since God the Holy Spirit is in the body of the saint, the body of the saint also becomes the temple of God the Holy Spirit.[57] The Son who came in the flesh and became the temple, atones, judges, and completes the rest of the creation world.[58]

   Just because the Son is the temple and fulfills judgment for sin in the creation world which symbolized as the temple and the courtyard, it does not mean that the Son is the creation world itself. It is true that the creation world is in the Son[59] and is continued its existence through the Son.[60] However, just because the Son came into the creation world, it does not mean that the entire creation world becomes the temple. (It may be true in a broad sense. The Son will purify the creation world, the temple where the Son dwells, by judging and removing sin. He makes the unworthy of the temple into the worthy of the temple. After the great white throne judgment and throwing Satan fraudswarms into the lake of fire, I think that the entire creation world can become the temple. The Son will present the inherited and completed creation world to His Father.[61] However, it is not possible to identify the Son with His creation world. Even in the 1000-year kingdom where Satan is confined in the abyss, the most holy place is divided as the new Jerusalem.) The meaning that the Son is the temple means that the place where the Son dwells, is the most holy place. Just as the entire sanctuary is not the most holy place, the entire creation world is not the most holy place just because the Son came into the creation world. It is not the most holy place where there is sin. Hades where sin is confined is not the most holy place. Hades, the courtyard, will be thrown into the lake of fire with death, the wages of sin.[62] Although the Most Holy Place Himself, came into the courtyard, the courtyard where sin is confined, is not the most holy place.

   God who will come to His creation world and sit on the throne of the true temple, first puts on the flesh and becomes the most holy place in the courtyard of the creation world.[63] After that, through the saints who received God the Holy Spirit, He made small temples[64] to actualize the reign of light in the courtyard where the forces of darkness are confined.[65] Following the way in which the Most Holy Place judged Satan[66], small temples also go on the way to judge Satan.[67] And the Most Holy Place come to the courtyard again, remove sin from the courtyard and transforms it into the new world without sin.[68] The Son who is the Creator, completes creation by entering into the creation world and actualizing rest upon the creation world. Therefore, the Son is the rest of the creation world and heaven itself.[69]

   The Son will judge and eliminate sin from the creation world. Those who were slaves of sin but repented, will be freed from sin through God the Holy Spirit who came upon the blood of the Son.[70] The ground that cursed by sin and covered with thorns and thistles[71] under the tyranny of sin[72], will be freed from the curse when the Son comes again.[73] Eventually, the creation world will be completely free from sin at the time of the great white throne judgment throwing Satan fraudswarms into the lake of fire. Because the Son accomplishes these things, the Son is the rest of creatures.[74] Only in the Son who reigns by the commandments of love, can the creatures rest.[75]

 

   The courtyard and the temple: The creation world where the Son came

John2:19 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."

John2:20 The Jews therefore said, "Forty-six years was this temple in building, and will you raise it up in three days?"

John2:21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.

   The body of the LORD Jesus is a temple because the Creator Son is in the human body. God sits on the throne of the most holy place. The body that hides the glory of the Son sitting on the throne of the most holy place, like the curtain, declined due to death, and the glory of the Son who is God, was revealed. As the curtain is torn, God the Son who sits on the throne, appears beyond the curtain.[76]

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."

   After Adam's transgression, the earthen body produces thorns and thistles.[77] God the Son came to this earth, being clothed with a body that produces thorns and thistles, the sinful desires. God showed it through an angel who appeared in the flames of a burning bush.[78]

Matt.1:23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, And shall bring forth a son. They shall call his name Immanuel;" Which is, being interpreted, "God with us."

   God became a human.

Is.9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be on his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Is.9:7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on the throne of David, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even forever. The zeal of Yahweh of Hosts will perform this.

   The Creator has determined to come as a creature and rule the creation world with the commandments of love.[79]

John1:14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

   The Word became flesh.

Rom.9:5 of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen.

   God the Son who is the reason and purpose of the creation world, came as a human among other creatures.[80]

A. The Son is the way to the life of the most holy place.

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

   Creatures can come to the Father only through the Son.

Acts4:12 There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, in which we must be saved!"

   Creatures can be saved only through the Son.

Heb.7:24 But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable.

Heb.7:25 Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them.

   The Son saves completely those who come to God the Father through the Son who is the permanent High Priest.

Heb.9:8 The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the way into the Holy Place wasn't yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing;

Heb.9:11 But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

Heb.9:12 nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.

   The way into the most holy place is now disclosed by the blood of the Son.

Heb.9:24 For Christ hasn't entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

   The Son entered into the true most holy place as the true High Priest who sprinkles His own blood on the true throne.[81] The way to the true most holy place which is in heaven is opened through the Son.

Heb.10:19 Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

Heb.10:20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

   A sinner can enter into the most holy place through being forgiven of his sin by the blood of the Son.

1John2:22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.

1John2:23 Whoever denies the Son, the same doesn't have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.

   Creatures can acknowledge the Father only through the Son.[82]

1John5:11 The testimony is this, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

1John5:12 He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn't have God's Son doesn't have the life.

   Since there is life only in the Son, only those who receive the Son, can have life.

B. The Son died on the cross as the sacrifice.

Is.53:4 Surely he has borne our infirmities, and carried our diseases; yet we esteemed him stricken, struck by God, and afflicted.

Is.53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was on him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Is.53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Is.53:10 Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him; he has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Yahweh shall prosper in his hand.

Is.53:11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities.

Is.53:12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Gal.3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,"

Eph.1:7 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

Titus2:14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

Heb.9:12 nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.

Heb.9:26 or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

1Pet.1:18 knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,

1Pet.1:19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, the blood of Christ;

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.1:6 and he made us to be a kingdom, priests to his God and Father; to him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Rev.5:9 They sang a new song, saying, "You are worthy to take the book, And to open its seals: For you were killed, And bought us for God with your blood, Out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,

Rev.5:10 And made them kings and priests to our God, And they reign on earth."

C. The Son is the basin, the sea of glass.

John13:8 Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I don't wash you, you have no part with me."

John13:9 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!"

John13:10 Jesus said to him, "Someone who has bathed only needs to have their feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you."

   The priests wash their hands and feet at the basin before entering the sanctuary.[83] The Son became the basin and washed His disciples' feet. Through the Son, disciples, the royal priests, can enter the sanctuary. Only those who have received the Son can escape judgment by passing through the water above the expanse.[84] The Son is the criterion to escape Hades by passing through the water above the expanse.[85]

Col.2:11 in whom you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ;

Col.2:12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

   As the saints pass through the water, they put off of the sinful nature and are raised with Christ. God the Holy Spirit comes upon those who are in the body of death[86], and they overcome sin.[87] A person who put on a soulish body is resurrected or transformed with a spiritual body[88] and pass through the sea of glass.[89]

Eph.5:26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,

   Wash with the blood of the Son in order to be raised from death[90], and wash with the water of the word in order not to die again.

Heb.10:22 let's draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water,

   Sprinkled with the blood and washed with the water of the word. The first sprinkling is the cross, the altar of burnt offering, and next washing is the sea of glass, the bronze sea, the bronze basin.

Is.4:3 It will happen, that he who is left in Zion, and he who remains in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even everyone who is written among the living in Jerusalem;

Is.4:4 when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from its midst, by the spirit of justice, and by the spirit of burning.

Is.4:5 Yahweh will create over the whole habitation of Mount Zion, and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory will be a canopy.

   Those who remain in Jerusalem where the truth is[91], are washed by the Spirit, the word of God.[92] Even now, this washing is done within the saints, but historically, it will be accomplished when the LORD Jesus comes again. The LORD Jesus will resurrect and transform those who overcome Satan, with the spiritual bodies through God the Holy Spirit.[93] The Spirit of judgment and the Spirit of fire mean not only the word of truth, but also God the Holy Spirit. After the resurrection, the 1000-year kingdom, symbolized by the Feast of Tabernacles which covering with a canopy, will be established. Only those who are washed with the truth are resurrected or transformed through God the Holy Spirit. Only those who have been resurrected or transformed can stand beside the sea of glass out of Hades, when God pours out 7 plagues of His wrath on Hades.[94] Only those who are washed with the word and God the Holy Spirit, can pass through the sea of glass, the water above the expanse.[95] Perhaps that is why the sea of glass is used to symbolize the word that wash away sins.

Ezek.36:24 For I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.

   God sprinkles water on us to take us out of all the countries, the 1st heaven and the 1st earth, and into our own land, the new heaven and the new earth.[96] This is the baptism of the sea of glass.[97]

Ezek.36:25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

Ezek.36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

Ezek.36:27 I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my ordinances, and do them.

   In God the Holy Spirit, this purifying is still performing now[98], but the exact time this purifying completed is the 1000-year kingdom.[99] When the Son comes again, the remnant will be brought into their own land, the garden of Eden, the paradise[100], and God the Holy Spirit will make them the bride of the Lamb. These are royal priests who can enter the new Jerusalem and will rule the 1000-year kingdom under the Son. Since they will never sin again, they will not be hurt at all by the 2nd death.[101] Accordingly, there is no need for a test to prove their sincerity again.[102] These are already those who love God more than their lives.[103]

   God will burn the present heaven and earth which were trampled by Satan[104], and form a new heaven and a new earth. These new heaven and earth are perfected Eden.[105] Although defiled Eden is burned[106], God will form a new Eden. The former garden of Eden that could be contaminated with sin was only a model for the latter garden of Eden, the new Jerusalem which cannot be contaminated with sin. Although, if God releases Satan from the abyss after 1000 years, there will be a brief deception but until then, there will be no Satan's deception in Eden, and thus there will be no sin.[107] When God releases Satan, the test will be given to the people outside the new Jerusalem, who have not decided their will between light and darkness. God will verify them to bring them into the world of eternal righteousness. Sadly, most of the people will be against God to take possesion of the new Jerusalem.[108] However, in the new Jerusalem, the completed garden of Eden, there will be only those who have passed the test[109], so even with Satan's deception, the interior of the new Jerusalem will still be a realm of light. After the final test is over and God judges sinners before the great white throne, He will burn death and even Hades, the realm separated to judge sin and Satan fraudswarms, in the lake of fire.[110] When God burns Hades, I don't know what will happen to the new Jerusalem, the capital of the creation world with the throne. However, since God thought we did not need to know that, He did not write it down, so we do not have to wonder about what is going on after that.[111]

Zech.13:1 "In that day there will be a spring opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.

Zech.13:2 It will come to pass in that day, says Yahweh of Hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they will no more be remembered; and also I will cause the prophets and the spirit of impurity to pass out of the land.

   This will happen in the 1000-year kingdom, but it is accomplishing now in God the Holy Spirit.[112] The fountain of cleasing from sin and impurity is baptism. It is expressed as baptism that those who have overcome death and have been resurrected or transformed pass through the water above the expanse.[113] When the fountain of cleansing is opened to God's people, the resurrction and transformation take place, and those who have reached this 1st resurrection escape Hades[114] and sing the song of the Lamb standing beside the sea of glass. And after the Son judges the 1st heaven and the 1st earth[115], He forms a new heaven and a new earth.[116] Because Satan and the evil spirits are confined in the abyss[117], there is no crime in the new heaven and the new earth until they are released. The Son accomplishes the reign of love by the commandments.[118]

Ex.30:18 "You shall also make a basin of brass, and the base of it of brass, in which to wash. You shall put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it.

Ex.30:19 Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in it.

Ex.30:20 When they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they not die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

Ex.30:21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die: and it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations."

   The priests wash their hands and feet at the basin before entering the sanctuary. The basin is later called as the sea after the temple is built, and it symbolizes the sea of glass which is the water above the expanse that is the boundary between the heaven of angels and Hades. There are also basins in the temple, but it is the bronze sea in the temple that has the meaning of the basin of the Tabernacle.[119]

1Kin.7:23 He made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and the height of it was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about.

1Kin.7:24 Under the brim of it round about there were buds which did compass it, for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about: the buds were in two rows, cast when it was cast.

1Kin.7:25 It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set on them above, and all their hinder parts were inward.

1Kin.7:26 It was a handbreadth thick: and the brim of it was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it held two thousand baths.

1Kin.7:27 He made the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth of it, and three cubits the height of it.

1Kin.7:28 The work of the bases was on this manner: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges;

1Kin.7:29 and on the panels that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and on the ledges there was a pedestal above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.

1Kin.7:30 Every base had four brazen wheels, and axles of brass; and the four feet of it had supports: beneath the basin were the supports molten, with wreaths at the side of each.

1Kin.7:31 The mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit: and the mouth of it was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on the mouth of it were engravings, and their panels were foursquare, not round.

1Kin.7:32 The four wheels were underneath the panels; and the axles of the wheels were in the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.

1Kin.7:33 The work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axles, and their rims, and their spokes, and their naves, were all molten.

1Kin.7:34 There were four supports at the four corners of each base: the supports of it were of the base itself.

1Kin.7:35 In the top of the base was there a round compass half a cubit high; and on the top of the base the stays of it and the panels of it were of the same.

1Kin.7:36 On the plates of the stays of it, and on the panels of it, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about.

1Kin.7:37 After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.

1Kin.7:38 He made ten basins of brass: one basin contained forty baths; and every basin was four cubits; and on very one of the ten bases one basin.

1Kin.7:39 He set the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.

Rev.4:6 Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, like a crystal. In the midst of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.

   After passing through the sea of glass, it is the throne covered by cherubim, the 4 living creatures.[120] (It may be argued that these 4 living creatures are seraphs.[121])

Rev.15:1 I saw another great and marvelous sign in the sky: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them God's wrath is finished.

Rev.15:2 I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who overcame the beast, and his image, and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.

Rev.15:3 They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God, the Almighty; Righteous and true are your ways, you King of the nations.

   Fire is mixed in the sea of glass. This is because the 7 plagues of judgment pour out on Hades under this sea of glass. The saints escape Hades through the sea of glass.[122] Beside the sea of glass, the saints who have overcome the beast sing the song, the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb. Just as the Israelites escaped through Moses from Egypt under Pharaoh's reign and sang the song of Moses, the saints escaped through the Lamb from Babylon the Great under Satan's reign and sing the song of the Lamb.[123]

D. The Son is the truth.

John1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.

John1:3 All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made.

John1:4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

   All things were created for the Son[124], and in the Son all things hold together even now.[125]

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.

Col.1:17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.

   The Son who continues the creation world even now, is the Word.

John1:17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

   The law given to Moses through an angel was to condemn sinners and put them under judgment. The grace and truth given through the Son are the law to save repentant sinners from judgment and give them the power to overcome sin.[126] Through the law of Moses[127], sinners come to the law of the Son[128], the grace and truth.

John8:32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."

   If we know the truth, we will not put the meaning of existence or the hope of living in the lies that Satan has made.[129] The truth is that God is love and God invites me into His love. It is my choice whether to accept the truth or reject it, but the one who accepts the truth is freed from sin and Satan and even from death and eventually comes to the eternal life.

John8:45 But because I tell the truth, you don't believe me.

John8:46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

John8:47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don't hear, because you are not of God."

   A creature that does not belong to God, does not stop rebelling against God and does not stop trampling on its neighbors and does not obey the word of God. God does not force the creatures to obey God, by forcibly forcing the free will of the creatures that oppose God.[130] God pours out His grace of obedience only to the creatures who choose to obey God[131] with their free will[132] and makes them obedient to God.[133]

John3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.

John3:36 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."

   Only those who receive the Son, are freed from sin and live forever, saved from the judgment and continued their existence.

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.

   Only those who obey the Son avoid the judgment and survive.

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.

   Anyone who rebel against the Son is judged. Only those who believe in the Son obey the Son's commands, so only those who believe in the Son are saved from the judgment.[134] Only those who believe in the Son avoid death and survive from the judgment. They are not thrown into the lake of fire. They do not burn at the cost of their sins. In other words, they are continued to exist.[135]

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

   Only through the Son, we can come to the Father.

1John5:11 The testimony is this, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

1John5:12 He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn't have God's Son doesn't have the life.

   Since the Father gives life to creatures only through His Son, only those who have the Son have life.

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.

Matt.16:25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.

Matt.16:26 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?

   Creatures can receive the life of the Creator only through the cross.

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.

   If a creature sin, he/she will be burned with the sin he/she committed.[136] According to justice, he/she will be burned for the amount of evil he/she has committed.[137] It is unlikely that he/she will face the same punishment as Satan who committed many sins.[138] The lake of fire can last forever in space-time, but it is speculated that the creatures burning in the lake of fire will probably be vanished if all of their sins are burned.[139] Even if he/she is burned with his/her sins, he/she is still a person who will sin if the circumstances are given. He/She rejected every opportunity and rebelled against the Creator to the end. God rules His creation world by love, but he/she does not want to obey the commandments of love. He/She affirmed his/her will to the extent that the Creator no longer had to do anything to change his/her will. He/She is not the one who will turn his/her will and love his/her Creator. It means that paying the price of sin does not make him/her a person who will not sin again. A creature who submits for fear of punishment is bound to sin again someday when the fear of punishment disappears. When the fear goes away, it means that he/she will not stop trampling on his/her neighbors. How long must God, the Creator of love, warn His creatures of judgment? Therefore, at the end of the hour of suffering given to him/her, it is speculated that God will return him/her to non-existence as he/she wanted so much. (Since the infinite and almighty Creator can always call out anything into being, the God of existence is also the God of non-existence.) Either angel or human can be at peace with the Father only through God's love revealed through the cross. Creatures can be separated from their sin hidden in their free will only through the cross of the Son and be continued their existence forever.

John17:17 Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.

   Truth is sincerity without lies. For creatures truth is the life that separates them from sin and saves them from judgment. Only those creatures who receive the Son and submit to the Son, the truth who came to His creation world as a creature, can be continued their existence. Satan lies that the creatures can become gods and continue their existence on their own, and that they can avoid judgment and continue their existence without obeying God.[140] However, there is no God who is self-existing other than the One who is[141], and creatures can be continued their existence only through the One who is.[142] The I AM surely judges those who rebel against the I AM who reigns with love and justice. Creatures can persist in existence only through submission to the I AM.

John17:3 This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

   The Son announced the truth to His creatures that there is no other gods but Yahweh, and that those who do not obey God are under sin and must be judged. Those who accept the truth spoken through the Son[143], obey the Son, and give up their sins, will escape judgment and live forever.

John18:37 Pilate therefore said to him, "Are you a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. To this end I have been born, and to this end I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice."

   Only those who listen to the word of truth spoken through the Son, those who obey the Son, can avoid judgment and be continued their existence.

1John5:20 We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

   The Son is the 'I AM WHO I AM'.[144] The Son is the Self-Existing[145] and Ever-Existing Eternal Almighty[146], the eternal life that saves His creatures who obey Him from the judgment.[147]

E. The Son is the gate of the temple.

John10:7 Jesus therefore said to them again, "Most assuredly, I tell you, I am the sheep's door.

John10:8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn't listen to them.

John10:9 I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture.

   God is in the most holy place, and those who come to God without permission die.[148] The Son is the door to the most holy place. Only through the Son can we enter into the most holy place where God dwells.[149] Creatures receive life from God in the most holy place. God alone is the life of creatures. Only through the Son can we enter into the most holy place and receive life from God.

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

John14:7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and have seen him."

   Only through the Son who is God can we know God the Father and come to the Father. Creatures cannot dare to see the Creator.[150] God the Son Himself becomes a creature so that creatures can see with their own eyes[151] who the Creator is.[152]

Heb.10:19 Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

Heb.10:20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

Heb.10:21 and having a great priest over the house of God,

Heb.10:22 let's draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water,

   The Son is the curtain, the gate that leads to the most holy place. Only through the Son taking the cross can we enter the most holy place through the torn curtain.[153]

Ex.26:31 "You shall make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman shall it be made.

Ex.26:32 You shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold; their hooks shall be of gold, on four sockets of silver.

Ex.26:33 You shall hang up the veil under the clasps, and shall bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil: and the veil shall separate the holy place from the most holy for you.

Ex.26:35 You shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand over against the table on the side of the tent toward the south: and you shall put the table on the north side.

Ex.26:36 "You shall make a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer.

   The curtain that blocks the most holy place was made of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen with cherubim worked into it. The curtain of the most holy place is hung with gold hooks on 4 posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold and standing on 4 silver bases. The cherubim in the true temple were expressed as the cherubim form embroidered on the tabernacle.

Ex.26:36 "You shall make a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer.

Ex.26:37 You shall make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay them with gold: their hooks shall be of gold: and you shall cast five sockets of brass for them.

Ex.36:37 He made a screen for the door of the tent, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer;

Ex.36:38 and the five pillars of it with their hooks. He overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold, and their five sockets were of brass.

   Even though the entrance curtain of the sanctuary was made of the same blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, there is no saying that the cherubim were embroidered on it. However, the tabernacle was covered with curtains embroidered with cherubim.[154] It means that cherubim are active throughout the true temple. The bronze sea which symbolizes the sea of glass, is also supported by 12 bulls. These bulls are likely to represent cherubim.[155] We can enter the sanctuary which is the heaven of angels, only through the water basin, the sea of glass. The fallen angels are confined in Hades under the sea of galss. Not only the fallen angels are in Hades, but the angels belonging to God also work in Hades to carry out God's command.[156] In the heaven of angels, around the water above the expanse, or in Hades, in all the realms of the creation world, angels are active and carry out the command of God. The entrance curtain of the sanctuary is hung with gold hooks on the 5 posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold and standing on 5 bronze bases.

John5:2 Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, "Bethesda," having five porches.

John5:3 In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;

John5:4 for an angel of the Lord went down at certain times into the pool, and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was made whole of whatever disease he was afflicted with.

John5:5 A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

   Those who are disbled cannot enter the temple.[157] In other words, those who are guilty cannot enter the temple as well as the most holy place beyond the curtain.[158] The Son who becomes the gate of the temple, has come to sinners who cannot enter the temple and are forced to stay outside the temple gate. The Son is Bethesda, the house of mercy. A sinner who was blocked by his/her sin and was unable to enter the temple, finally enters the temple through the Son who is the gate.[159]

Acts3:1 Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

Acts3:2 A certain man who was lame from his mother's womb was being carried, whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask gifts for the needy of those who entered into the temple.]

   All humans are sinners, so no one can enter into the temple. All people are blind, cripped, paralyzed and sick who cannot work to fulfill the will of God.[160] Only those who come to the Son who is the gate and pass through the Son enter the temple.[161] We can know whether he/she is a sheep of God or not by whether he/she passes through the Son or not.[162] The Son is the standard, and He separates the creatures that will survive and the creatures that will be thrown into the lake of fire.[163] The Son is the criterion of salvation and judgment.[164]

F. The Son is the light shining from the golden lampstand.

Rev.4:5 Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

   God the Holy Spirit is the 7 Spirits of God.[165]

Rev.5:6 I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.

   The Son has the 7 Spirits of God. He has filled with the light of the 7 Spirits.[166]

Matt.3:11 I indeed baptize you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to carry. He shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit.

Matt.3:12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire."

   The Son is the One who baptizes with God the Holy Spirit.

John16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I don't go away, the Counselor won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

John16:8 When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;

   The Son sends God the Holy Spirit. The Son is the 1st Counselor[167] and God the Holy Spirit is the 2nd Counselor.[168]

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.

   The Father sends God the Holy Spirit in the name of the Son. God the Holy Spirit reminds us of everything the LORD Jesus have said to us, the word of God, the bible.

John14:16 I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever, --

John14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world can't receive; for it doesn't see him, neither knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.

   The Son asks the Father, and the Father gives us God the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth, in the name of the Son. Since God the Holy Spirit is in the body of saints, the body of the saint who has received God the Holy Spirit becomes the temple of God the Holy Spirit.[169]

John3:34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure.

   The Son was filled with God the Holy Spirit.[170] Since the Son is the truth[171], and God the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth[172], the Son proclaimed the word of the Father, the truth.[173]

John2:22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

John2:23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.

   The Son is the One who gives God the Holy Spirit. The Father sends God the Holy Spirit in the name of the Son.[174] God the Father sends God the Holy Spirit through the Son.[175]

G. The Son is the shewbread on the golden table.

Lev.24:5 You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it: two tenth parts [of an ephah] shall be in one cake.

Lev.24:6 You shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure table before Yahweh.

Lev.24:7 You shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

Lev.24:8 Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before Yahweh continually; it is on the behalf of the children of Israel, an everlasting covenant.

   The bread on the golden table is to be set out before Yahweh. This bread represents the life-giving word of God. The LORD Jesus is the bread of life.[176]

Lev.2:11 "'No meal offering, which you shall offer to Yahweh, shall be made with yeast; for you shall burn no yeast, nor any honey, as an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

Lev.2:12 As an offering of firstfruits you shall offer them to Yahweh: but they shall not come up for a sweet savor on the altar.

Lev.2:13 Every offering of your meal offering you shall season with salt; neither shall you allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your meal offering. With all your offerings you shall offer salt.

   Perhaps no yeast was added, and salt may have been added. Yeast refers to the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees[177], and salt refers to the everlasting covenant.[178]

Ex.13:7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and no leavened bread shall be seen with you, neither shall there be yeast seen with you, in all your borders.

   They ate unleavened bread at the Passover.[179]

John6:48 I am the bread of life.

John6:49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

John6:50 This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.

John6:51 I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world."

   The reality of the shewbread or the unleavened bread that was eaten at the Passover, is the life-giving word of truth, the Son. Manna which was miraculously rained down from the sky, was the bread that sustained only the life of the flesh. But the Son who is the reality of the bread, is the word that gives life to the soul.[180] Creatures are sustained only by the word of the Creator.[181] Creatures are sustained by the word of the LORD Jesus.[182]

1Cor.11:23 For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread.

1Cor.11:24 When he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "Take, eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in memory of me."

1Cor.11:25 In the same way he also took the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me."

1Cor.11:26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

   The flesh of the Son torn from the cross is the bread of life. The flesh of the Son, the Word who became flesh, is the bread of life. In other words, the word is the bread of life. The word is the life-giving Spirit.[183] The flesh of the Son is sometimes used to mean the word who appeared as a creature in the flesh[184], but it is also used to mean a cursed body[185] in which the desires of sin rise.[186] Sometimes the body of the Son means the word, and sometimes it means the desires of sin, so it should be accepted according to the context. Here, it is used to mean to eat the flesh of the Son and to receive life, so the flesh of the Son we should eat means the word. It does not mean that it is real human flesh that is cursed and the desires of sin rise.[187] When the body is used in the sense that the desires of sin rise, it is when the body is symbolized as a curtain to be torn.[188] The blood of the Son which we must drink, symbolizes God the Holy Spirit, the Spirit who gives life to creatures.[189] It does not mean that we must drink the blood of the cursed flesh that the LORD Jesus was actually clothed with. What we must drink is the One symbolized by the blood of the Son, God the Holy Spirit, the true drink that gives life to the creatures.[190]

   With or without creatures, the Word is eternal and infinite Word, and God the Holy Spirit is the eternal and infinite God the Holy Spirit. Thinking in the way of creatures who are confined in space-time, we are creatures that were originally non-existent before the Creator calls us into existence, so what would the Creator be affected if He simply returned His creatures back to non-existence?[191] Why does the Creator have to keep alive His creatures that He can recreate at any time?[192] Why must the Creator continue to pour out His life on His creatures?[193] Why must the Word and God the Holy Spirit be the life of the creatures? Anyway, God the Creator determined to pour out His life on His creatures through the flesh and blood of God the Son who will become a creature, through the word and God the Holy Spirit, and after that He created the creatures.[194] We are only creatures that God can return to non-existence at any time[195], but because of the blood that God the Son poured out for us[196] when He was cut off from God the Father and forsaken[197], we were given the meaning to sustain our existence. The blood of the Son who is the only meaning of God the Father[198], was covered over His creatures.[199] The Father's love for His Son came to be engraved on His creatures.[200]

   A human cannot receive the word of God in his/her sinful condition and cannot receive God the Holy Spirit in his/her sinful condition. In order for God the Holy Spirit to come upon humans, God the Son must first take humans' sin upon Himself and be cut off from God the Father in place of humans and be rejected.[201] The Son must first pay the wages of our sin which is death[202], for us[203], through being forsaken by His Father on behalf of us. A human who sinned, must first be forgiven by the blood of the LORD Jesus before he/she can receive the word of God and God the Holy Spirit.[204] In other words, a human must be forgiven of his/her sins before he/she can eat the flesh of the LORD Jesus and drink the blood of the LORD Jesus.[205] Regardless of creatures' choice, had the LORD Jesus not wanted His flesh and blood to be given to His creatures, creatures would not have been able to eat and drink the flesh and blood of the LORD Jesus.[206] But the LORD Jesus determined to come as a creature and give creatures His flesh and blood, and then created the creation world.[207] (I am thinking with the thoughts of creatures confined in space-time.) By seeing the love of the Creator demonstrated through the cross[208], creatures come to love the Creator[209], and when creatures love the Creator, they do not sin.[210] For this reason, through the cross, creatures are finally reconciled to God the Creator.[211] The love of the Creator, that is, the blood of the Son shed on the cross, perfects the free will granted to the creatures.[212]

H. The Son is the incense of the golden altar of incense.

Lev.16:12 He shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before Yahweh, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil:

Lev.16:13 and he shall put the incense on the fire before Yahweh, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the testimony, so that he will not die.

   The Son conceals the atonement cover above the Testimony with the smoke of the incense burned by the burning coals from the altar of burnt offering. The Son conceals the throne by putting incense on the fire that burns sin. This incense contained in the golden censer is offered on the golden altar before the throne with the prayers of all the saints contained in the golden bowls. The saints are crying out, demanding judgment on the enemies who destroy the earth.[213] These are the prayers of the saints.[214] The prayers of the saints are contained in the golden bowls. The golden bowls represent the wrath of God.[215] Accordingly, when the prayers of the saints are offered, the answers to those prayers appear as judgment against Satan fraudswarms who shed the blood of the saints. The souls of the saints who had been slain by Satan fraudswarms, are calling out in a loud voice to judge Satan fraudswarms and avenge their blood under the bronze altar[216] of burnt offering[217], Hades.[218] When the angel takes the golden censer filled with fire from the bronze altar, and hurls it on the earth, and there come peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake. It seems as if God accepts the incense offering of the golden bowls and the golden censer and pours out judgment in response.

Rev.8:3 Another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer. Much incense was given to him, that he should add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne.

Rev.8:4 The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand.

Rev.8:5 The angel took the censer, and he filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it on the earth. There followed thunders, sounds, lightnings, and an earthquake.

Rev.8:6 The seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

   The incense, the prayers of the saints[219], is contained in the golden bowls[220], and the incense received from the altar of burnt offering is contained in the golden censer. The smoke of the incense of the golden censer and the golden bowls go up before God. It is thought that the golden bowls contain the incense of judgment[221], and the golden censer contains the incense of salvation. Perhaps the incense of the golden censer might also be the incense of judgment. When the Lamb opens the 7th seal, an angel comes out and offers the incense of the golden censer and the golden bowls before the throne. And after that, the angel fills the censer with fire from the altar and hurls the censer on the earth. Then there come peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake. The incense which was given the angel from the bronze altar and was offered by the angel on the golden altar, might also be the incense of judgment, because at the very altar where the incense was given, fire is also given to the angel. The angel hurls the censer which is filled with fire, on the earth, there comes sounding of the 7 trumpets and disasters follow.

   The flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder come from the throne.[222] It was a similar situation when God gave the law to Moses on Mount Sinai through an angel.[223] After hurling the censer filled with fire on the earth, the 7 trumpets begin to sound. Even just before the 7th angel sounds his trumpet and the 7 angels come out and pour out the plagues of the 7 golden bowls on the earth, God's temple in heaven is opened and there come flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a great hailstorm.[224] And even after the 7th angel pours out his bowl of plague, there come flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake.[225] From these I guess, it seems that this phenomenon occurs when God who is seated on the throne, reveals Himself. Therefore, the fire of the altar of burnt offering that is filled in the golden censer and hurled on the earth, is thought to symbolize the judgment that the LORD Jesus who is seated on the throne, begins to reveal Himself to the earth in due time. If viewed in this way, the incense of the golden censer might also be the incense of judgment, not salvation.

   When the Lamb opens the 7th seal and the 7 trumpet angels come out, and when the 7th trumpet sounded and the 7 bowl angels come out, and after the 7th bowl poured out, there come flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake are all the same, when the 7th seal, the 7th trumpet and the 7th bowl are finished. When the most holy place opened and the ark of the covenant under the throne, the word that is the basis of judgment, is revealed[226], there come flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder from the throne.[227]

   There are only 2 altars in the creation world, the bronze altar of burnt offering and the golden altar of incense. Is the altar with incense for the golden censer, the bronze altar of burnt offering or the golden altar of incense? Is the altar that the angel received incense to offer, the bronze altar or the golden altar? From which altar did the angel receive the incense to fill it with the golden censer? Since the model temple is a copy of the true temple in heaven of angels[228] and the courtyard with the altar of burnt offering is a copy of Hades[229], the role of the altar of burnt offering is performed in Hades, and the role of the altar of incense is performed in the heaven of angels. When we see the words that an angel was given incense at the altar and offer the incense on the golden altar before the throne[230], the altar where the angel received the incense is the bronze altar of burnt offering. Because the golden altar before the throne means the golden altar of incense.[231] (It is distinctly expressed as 'stood at the altar to be given incense to offer on the golden altar'. Isn't it strange to see that the incense received from the golden altar is offered again on the golden altar? The altars are not just the golden altar.)

   On the Day of Atonement, a high priest fills a censer with burning coals from the altar of burnt offering and brings it to the most holy place with incense.[232] There are even utensils for handling the fire of the altar of burnt offering.[233] Nadab and Abihu died when they offered unathorized fire before Yahweh.[234] The altar of incense is before Yahweh[235], but the altar of burnt offering is also before Yahweh.[236] It is expressed that the curtain of the sanctuary is also before Yahweh.[237] Our life is also before Yahweh.[238] The altar before Yahweh does not mean only the golden altar of incense. The altar of burnt offering is also before Yahweh, and the fire that burns incense is the fire of the altar of burnt offering. The incense placed on the fire symbolizes the intercession of the Son.[239] To put an end to the plague of the Israelites, Moses ordered Aaron to make atonement by putting incense on the fire from the altar.[240] This fire would also have been the fire of the altar of burnt offering.[241] The angel was given incense from the altar of burnt offering, to offer the incense on the golden altar before the throne, with the prayers of all the saints contained in the golden bowls. If the prayers of the saints cry out for the judgment of Satan[242], the incense from the altar of burnt offering, the cross, probably pleads for the salvation of the saints.

   God has revealed that sin will be burned at the altar of burnt offering. In the time of judgment, the Son will burn Satan and all the creatures under sin in the lake of fire, the altar of burnt offering. We can think that burning at the altar of burnt offering symbolizes Satan, and burning outside the camp symbolizes the LORD Jesus[243]. However, the burnt offering that burns even flesh and goes up as a pleasing aroma also symbolizes the LORD Jesus.[244] In addition, the fellowship offering also symbolizes the sacrifice of the Son which is offered as a pleasing aroma, even if only fat is burned on the altar.[245] Therefore, it is believed that the sacrifice burning on the altar of burnt offering does not always necessarily mean Satan. There are times when the sacrifices burned at the altar of burnt offering represent the LORD Jesus who was forsaken in my place.

   The point of the judgment of the lake of fire is to be completely forsaken rather than just to be burned. Since I was also a slave to sin[246], I had to be forsaken with other sinners[247] and burned in the lake of fire.[248] The altar of burnt offering on fire symbolizes the lake of fire that will burn all the sinners.[249] And the cross, the altar of burnt offering, symbolizes the redemption of the LORD Jesus who was cursed[250] and forsaken[251] in place of me who should be forsaken and burned like Satan. The blood of the LORD Jesus entered into the most holy place, and the flesh of the LORD Jesus suffered like being burned outside the city gate.[252] Would God regard Satan's burning as a pleasing aroma? It is thought that it may be fragrant to God in terms of burning sin and ending suffering of the creatures trampled by Satan.[253] Still, it is a little too far to compare the smell of Satan with the fragrance of the Son who gave up everything to save me from death.

   If the incense received from the altar of burnt offering symbolizes the sacrifice of the Son, it is certainly the incense of salvation because that sacrifice saved me. The incense of the sacrifice of the Son will be a fragrance of salvation for those who receive the Son and repent, and it will be a fragrance of judgment for those who kill the Son and sin.[254]

I. The body of the Son is the curtain in the temple.

Heb.10:19 Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

Heb.10:20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

   The curtain was torn by the blood of the Son, and we were able to enter into the most holy place.[255] Now the Son who sits in the most holy place in the name of the Father that is above every name[256], sends God the Holy Spirit in the name of the Son.[257] Those who receive God the Holy Spirit become the most holy place because God the Holy Spirit dwells in their bodies.[258] The most holy place is the place where the reign of God is done completely. When the demons are cast out from those who have become the most holy places, the reign of God comes upon them. Whenever they go, who have become the most holy places, the reign of God comes upon there.[259]

J. The Son is the life in the most holy place.

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

   Through the Son, creatures exist.[260] The creatures to survive and the creatures to be burned are divided through the Son.[261] To the Father[262], only the creatures in the Son are of value.[263] The creatures that rebel against the Son and trample on their neighbors[264] are only garbage to God.[265] God the Son will burn them in the lake of fire.[266]

1John1:1 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life

1John1:2 (and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us);

   The Son is the life of His creatures.[267] Through the Son creatures are made[268], and through the Son creatures have their being.[269] Any creature that opposes the Son will surely die.[270]

1John5:20 We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.]

   The Son is God the Creator[271] who revealed Himself to His creatures[272]. The Son is the life of the creatures and the One who maintains their being. Only with the life of the Son, creatures are continued their existence.[273]

K. The Son is the completion of the commandments.

Rom.10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

   The law was merely a pattern of God the Son who would come as Christ the Messiah.[274] The law was a description and symbol of what the Son to come would be. God gave the law to receive the Son to come and obey the Son to come.[275] When God the Son Himself comes, the symbols that were given in advance to perceive and receive God the Son who will come, lose their meaning.

Heb.10:1 For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.

   God the Son who will come as an adam is the reality, not the animal sacrifices. The animal sacrifices were only symbols that explained God the Son to come. If God the Son does not become the sacrifice, no matter how many animals are sacrificed, the redemption will not be fulfilled. If there is no substance, no matter how many symbols there are, it is of no use at all.

Matt.5:17 "Don't think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn't come to destroy, but to fulfill.

John5:39 "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.

   The Son is the commandments. The commandments are merely models that explain what the Son is like so that we can easily undertand Him.[276] Obedience to the Son who reigns through love[277] is the commandments given by the Creator to His creatures.[278] As the Son loves God the Father, so we must love God.[279] As the Son loves His creatures, so we must love our neighbors.[280] The Son is the image of God who appeared in the creation world[281], and creatures must resemble the image of the Son.[282] The Son is the Creator who revealed Himself to His creation world.[283] Creatures who are confined in space-time and see only limited things, can only truly realize what God is like by looking directly at the life of God who became a creature with their own eyes that God has given them.[284] God indicated that the Son would come again and judge after His resurrection, through the feast beginning with the Passover. The days and months and seasons and years were all just patterns that showed the way of the Son in advance.[285] The model temple on earth was just a symbol of the Son[286] who is the true temple.[287] The Son is the God who sits on the throne in the temple and is glorified forever.[288]

L. The Son is the real manna, the bread of life.

John6:47 Most assuredly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life.

John6:48 I am the bread of life.

John6:49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

John6:50 This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die.

John6:51 I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world."

John6:53 Jesus therefore said to them, "Most assuredly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don't have life in yourselves.

John6:54 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

John6:55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

John6:56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.

John6:57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he who feeds on me, he will also live because of me.

John6:58 This is the bread which came down out of heaven -- not as our fathers ate the manna, and died. He who eats this bread will live forever."

   The reality of the manna that came down from heaven and kept the Israelites alive, is the LORD Jesus. Manna which was merely a model, kept only the life of the body alive, but the LORD Jesus who is the reality of manna, resurrects and transforms the saints[289] so that not only their bodies but also their souls[290] can live.[291] The LORD Jesus who was symbolized by manna, was also symbolized by the fruit of the tree of life.[292]

M. The Son is the staff that produced almonds.

Num.17:8 It happened on the next day, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds.

   Amond is a symbol of resurrection.

Ex.25:33 three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, a bud and a flower; and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, a bud and a flower, so for the six branches going out of the lampstand;

Rev.4:5 Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

   The almond flowers are the 7 lamps of the golden lampstand inside the tabernacle. These 7 lamps are before the throne, and the reality of these 7 lamps is the 7 Spirits of God, God the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the almond flowers symbolize God the Holy Spirit.

Rev.5:6 I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.

   The 7 eyes symbolize God the Holy Spirit, and the Son has these 7 eyes, the 7 Spirits of God.[293] Therefore, the Son who has the 7 Spirits of God, is the staff produced almond which symbolizes the fruits of God the Holy Spirit.[294] Just as fruits are produced from a dead staff, the Son was raised from the dead and became the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.[295]

Zech.3:9 For, behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the engraving of it,' says Yahweh of Hosts, 'and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

   There are 7 eyes on the one stone, and this stone is the Son.

Is.28:16 therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner -[stone] of sure foundation: he who believes shall not be in haste.

   The Son is the precious cornerstone for a sure foundation.

Dan.2:34 You saw until a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.

   The Son is the rock cut out of a mountain by the hands of God.[296] The Son who is the rock, will judge Satan fraudswarms and break them to pieces.

N. The Son is the God who sits on the throne and is glorifed.

Rom.9:5 of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen.

   The LORD Jesus is God the Creator who, being in very nature God, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a creature.[297]

Rev.5:11 I saw, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands;

Rev.5:12 saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, riches, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing!"

Rev.5:13 I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! Amen."

Rev.5:14 The four living creatures said, "Amen!" The elders fell down and worshiped.

   Together, the Father and the Son receive the same worship and glory from creatures.

Rev.7:9 After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.

Rev.7:10 They cried with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"

Rev.7:11 All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell before his throne on their faces, and worshiped God,

Rev.7:12 saying, "Amen! Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever and ever! Amen."

   The LORD Jesus is God the Creator who receives worship and praise equal to God the Father.

Rev.22:1 He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,

Rev.22:3 There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants serve him.

   The throne is called the throne of the Father and the Son. This is because the Son inherits the Father's name which is above every name, the highest name placed in the creation world, and sits on the throne with that name. The creation world is always owned only by God the Creator. Since God the Son is also God the Creator, the creation world belongs not only to God the Father but also to God the Son.[298] However, since God the Son made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a creature, in order for the Son to rule the creation world, the Son must inherit the creation world from His Father.

Rev.3:21 He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.

   On the throne of the Father placed in the creation world, the Father placed His name.[299] The Son becomes a creature, inherits the name of His Father placed on the throne, and sits on the throne placed in the creation world.[300] The Father's throne is also the Son's throne. To those who have overcome death[301] after the Son[302], the Son who has been seated on the throne of the creation world as a creature, will entrust the rulership to rule the 1000-year kingdom in the name of the Son. These are the royal priests[303], the martyr witnesses[304] who have part in the 1st resurrection.[305] These are those who have the name of the Son and the Father written on their foreheads. They will sit around the throne where the Son is seated and serve the Son.[306]

O. The place where the Son dwells is the most holy place, the kingdom of God.

John4:23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshippers.

John4:24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

   The Son is the God who is glorified.[307] The place where the Son dwells is the most holy place. This Samaritan woman is now before the throne where God is sitting, and this is the time for this woman to worship. Although the curtained Creator[308] walked on the earth, few people offered the worship that the LORD Jesus deserves.

John2:21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.

   Since the Son is God, the body clothed by the Son was the temple. The true temple, the reality that the model temple foreshadowed, has come. God gave the model temple as a model to recognize the true temple when the true temple comes. However, those who were confined in their own righteousness were bound by models and could not recognize the true temple.[309]

Luke11:20 But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come to you.

   The place where the Son dwells becomes the kingdom of God where the Son reigns.

P. The son who sits on the throne, is the light of glory.

2Cor.4:6 seeing it is God who said, "Light will shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

   Creatures cannot dare to see the glory of God.[310] Therefore, God Himself becomes a creature so that the creatures can see the glory of God without dying.[311] The Creator paid the unspeakable price to show His creatures the image of God.[312]

Matt.4:15 "The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, Toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,

Matt.4:16 The people who sat in darkness saw a great light, To those who sat in the region and shadow of death, To them light has dawned."

   The Son is the light of the creation world. The light we see with our eyes, such as sunlight and starlight, is an educational material placed in the creation world to help us realize that the LORD Jesus is the true light.[313] Althrough God allows the sunlight a model of true light, to give life to the creatures of the earth, that life only sustains their flesh.[314] Sunlight cannot be true life. Plants that receive sunlight produce fruits, but the fruits only preserve the body.[315] The only true life is the LORD Jesus who made creatures and keeps them alive even now.[316] Creatures are sustained their existence only by the Word.[317]

John1:3 All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made.

John1:4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

John1:9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

John1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn't recognize him.

John1:14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

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.

   There is no creature who can see God the Creator. Creatures cannot escape the limitations of space-time. Even if the free will of the creatures is completed and perfected with things that will never sin, we cannot be sure that we will be able to see God the Creator. How much more, can the imperfect things that still have the possibility to sin, dare to see God the Creator?[318] But God the Creator revealed Himself to His creatures by becoming a creature.

John1:9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

   The Son is the light that illuminates the creation world. All creatures, no matter who they are, can be sustained their existence only by the life of the LORD Jesus[319] who keeps them alive.[320]

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.

John3:20 For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn't come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

John3:21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God."

   Those who reject the truth seek to escape judgment from the light. Because the Son is the light, those who reject the truth try to escape from judgment by the Son and kill the Son.[321] But those who reject the Son cannot escape the judgment.[322]

John8:12 Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."

   Only the Son is the true light in the creation world. Every light is given only through the Son. The Son is the commandments[323], and the commandments are the life.[324] Only through the commandments of light can creatures gain life and be continued their existence.[325]

John12:46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

   Only through the Son can we escape from darkness. Darkness is lies[326] and death that leads to judgment[327].

2Cor.4:4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

   When humans receive the light of the LORD Jesus and be resurrected or transformed into the perfect images of God, the truthfulness of the commandments is finally confirmed.[328] Then, Satan's blasphemous claim that "God compels His creatures to keep the commandments of love that creatures cannot keep. The commandments are the law that creatures cannot keep in the first place[329], so it is not sin to violate the commandments[330]." is exposed as lies. Only those who keep the commandments can overcome death, and only those who overcome death are resurrected or transformed[331], so the resurrection and the transformation prove the truthfulness of the commandments. If the truthfulness of the commandments is proved, the commandments are established as the basis of judgment, and judgment is executed against all offenders who trample on their neighbors.[332]

Heb.1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

   The Son is the radiance of the Father's glory and the exact representaion of His being. All creatures are being sustained even now by the powerful word of the Son. Just as the Father is the light, the Son is the light that sustains the creation world.[333] Through the Son the Father gives life to the creatures[334], and through the Son He sustains the creation world.[335] Although God the Son, being in very nature God, is equal to God the Father, He made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a creature.[336] To His creatures created in space-time, God the Son is revealing Himself as a creature confined in space-time. I believe that we creatures cannot dare to know[337] how God the Creator who created space-time[338] and still maintains the creation world[339], can now exist as a creature confined in space-time.[340]

2Pet.1:16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of the LORD Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

2Pet.1:17 For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

   Witnesses testify that the Creator became a creature.[341] We are the witnesses.[342] Those who believe in the testimony through the witnesses[343], submit to the Creator who has become a creature, and are forgiven of their sins.[344] If they remain in the forgiveness of their sins until the end[345], and do not pour out grace in vain[346], they will even reach salvation.[347] But the garbage that rebel against the Son and trample their neighbors[348] will surely be thrown into the lake of fire.[349]

1John1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

1John2:8 Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.

   The Son is the light of glory that illuminates the creation world.

 



[1] John5:39 "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.

[2] Acts7:53 You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and didn't keep it!"

  Gal.3:19 What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.

  Heb.2:2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense;

[3] John1:9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

[4] 1Pet.2:21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps, who did not sin, "neither was deceit found in his mouth." Who, when he was reviled, didn't revile back. When he suffered, didn't threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously;

[5] Matt.23:23 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.

[6] John15:5 I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

[7] Ps.89:14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Lovingkindness and truth go before your face.

[8] Rev.20:13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works. Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

[9] 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.

[10] Lev.4:13 "'If the whole congregation of Israel sins, and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and are guilty; when the sin in which they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin offering, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting. The elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before Yahweh; and the bull shall be killed before Yahweh.

[11] Matt.20:28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

[12] 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."

[13] Gal.3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,"

[14] Luke23:45 The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two. Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" Having said this, he breathed his last.

[15] Matt.16:12 Then they understood that he didn't tell them to beware of the yeast of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

[16] Num.18:19 All the heave-offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to Yahweh, have I given you, and your sons and your daughters with you, as a portion forever: it is a covenant of salt forever before Yahweh to you and to your seed with you.

  2Chr.13:5 Ought you not to know that Yahweh, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?

[17] Mark9:50 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."

[18] Matt.5:13 "You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.

[19] Col.4:6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

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

[21] Lev.24:8 Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before Yahweh continually; it is on the behalf of the children of Israel, an everlasting covenant. It shall be for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy to him of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire by a perpetual statute.

[22] Matt.22:37 Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."

[23] 1John3:8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

[24] Heb.10:8 Previously saying, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn't desire, neither had pleasure in them" (those which are offered according to the law), then he has said, "Behold, I have come to do your will." He takes away the first, that he may establish the second, by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

  Heb.10:14 For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying, "This is the covenant that I will make with them: 'After those days,' says the Lord, 'I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;'" then,

[25] Is.1:11 "What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?," says Yahweh. "I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, And the fat of fed animals. I don't delight in the blood of bulls, Or of lambs, Or of male goats. When you come to appear before me, Who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts? Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me; New moons, Sabbaths, and convocations: I can't bear with evil assemblies. My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts; They are a burden to me. I am weary of bearing them. When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood. Wash yourselves, make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; Cease to do evil. Learn to do well. Seek justice, Relieve the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, Plead for the widow."

[26] Is.58:3 Why have we fasted, [say they], and you don't see? [why] have we afflicted our soul, and you take no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast you find [your own] pleasure, and exact all your labors. Behold, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wickedness: you don't fast this day so as to make your voice to be heard on high. Is such the fast that I have chosen? the day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a rush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to Yahweh? Isn't this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? Isn't it to deal your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? when you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?

[27] Matt.23:23 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.

[28] Hos.6:6 For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice; And the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

  1Sam.15:22 Samuel said, Has Yahweh as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of Yahweh? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.

  Prov.21:3 To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to Yahweh than sacrifice.

[29] Gen.4:6 Yahweh said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen? If you do well, will it not be lifted up? If you don't do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it."

[30] 1John3:12 unlike Cain, who was of the evil one, and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

[31] John2:20 The Jews therefore said, "Forty-six years was this temple in building, and will you raise it up in three days?" But he spoke of the temple of his body.

[32] Is.48:10 Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction. For my own sake, for my own sake, will I do it; for how should [my name] be profaned? and my glory I will not give to another.

[33] John5:17 But Jesus answered them, "My Father is still working, so I am working, too."

[34] Gen.2:1 The heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. On the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

[35] 2Pet.3:8 But don't forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

[36] Rev.20:5 The rest of the dead didn't live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years.

[37] Matt.12:28 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come on you.

[38] 1John3:8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

[39] Rev.20:10 The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are also. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

[40] 2Cor.4:4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

[41] Gen.1:26 God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

[42] 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.12:11 They overcame him because of the Lamb's blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn't love their life, even to death.

[43] 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.

[44] 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.

[45] 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.

[46] Rev.11:15 The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ. He will reign forever and ever!" The twenty-four elders, who sit before God's throne on their thrones, fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying: "We give you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was; because you have taken your great power, and reigned. The nations were angry, and your wrath came, as did the time for the dead to be judged, and to give your servants the prophets, their reward, as well as the saints, and those who fear your name, the small and the great; and to destroy those who destroy the earth."

[47] Luke15:22 "But the father said to his servants, 'Bring out the best robe, and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat, and celebrate;

[48] Rev.20:14 Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

[49] 1Kin.7:23 He made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and the height of it was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about.

[50] Rev.15:2 I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who overcame the beast, and his image, and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.

[51] Ex.26:1 "Moreover you shall make the tent with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman you shall make them.

  Ex.26:31 "You shall make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman shall it be made.

[52] Matt.27:46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" That is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

[53] Rev.20:14 Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

[54] John1:14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

[55] 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. Moses said, I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

[56] John2:21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.

[57] 1Cor.3:16 Don't you know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for God's temple is holy, which you are.

[58] 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."

[59] 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.

[60] Heb.1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

[61] 1Cor.15:24 Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

  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.

[62] Rev.20:14 Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

[63] Heb.2:14 Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

[64] 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.

[65] Matt.12:28 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come on you.

[66] John12:31 Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out. And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself."

[67] Luke10:18 He said to them, "I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you. Nevertheless, don't rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

[68] 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."

[69] Luke7:20 When the men had come to him, they said, "John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, 'Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?'" In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight. Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

[70] Rom.8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

[71] Gen.3:17 To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife's voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.

[72] Heb.2:14 Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

[73] Is.65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, says Yahweh.

[74] Matt.12:6 But I tell you that one greater than the temple is here. But if you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless. For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."

[75] 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."

[76] John1:14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

[77] Gen.3:17 To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife's voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.

[78] Acts7:30 "When forty years were fulfilled, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.

  Acts7:35 "This Moses, whom they refused, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge?' -- God has sent him as both a ruler and a deliverer with the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

[79] Matt.22:37 Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."

[80] 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.

[81] Lev.16:14 He shall take some of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.

[82] 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.

[83] Ex.30:18 "You shall also make a basin of brass, and the base of it of brass, in which to wash. You shall put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it. Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in it. When they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they not die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

[84] Rev.15:2 I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who overcame the beast, and his image, and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.

[85] 1Thess.4:17 then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever.

[86] Rom.7:22 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?

[87] Rom.8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

[88] 1Cor.15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.

[89] Rev.15:2 I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who overcame the beast, and his image, and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God, the Almighty; Righteous and true are your ways, you King of the nations.

[90] Eph.2:1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,

[222] Rev.4:5 Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

[223] Heb.12:18 For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, tempest, the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them,

[224] Rev.11:14 The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe comes quickly. The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ. He will reign forever and ever!"

  Rev.11:19 God's temple that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of the Lord's covenant was seen in his temple. Lightnings, sounds, thunders, an earthquake, and great hail followed.

[225] Rev.16:17 The seventh poured out his bowl into the air. A loud voice came forth out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, "It is done!" There were lightnings, sounds, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since there were men on the earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty.

[226] 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.

[227] Rev.4:5 Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

[228] Heb.8:5 who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, "See, you shall make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain."

  Ex.26:1 "Moreover you shall make the tent with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman you shall make them.

[229] Rev.20:14 Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

[230] Rev.8:3 Another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer. Much incense was given to him, that he should add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne.

[231] Ex.40:26 He put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil;

[232] Lev.16:12 He shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before Yahweh, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil:

  Num.16:46 Moses said to Aaron, Take they censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and lay incense thereon, and carry it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from Yahweh; the plague is begun.

[233] Ex.27:3 You shall make its pots to take away its ashes, its shovels, its basins, its flesh hooks, and its fire pans: all its vessels you shall make of brass.

[234] Lev.10:1 Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before Yahweh, which he had not commanded them. And fire came forth from before Yahweh, and devoured them, and they died before Yahweh.

[235] Lev.4:7 The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before Yahweh, which is in the tent of meeting; and he shall pour out all the blood of the bull out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

[236] Lev.1:5 He shall kill the bull before Yahweh. Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

[237] Lev.4:6 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before Yahweh, before the veil of the sanctuary.

[238] Deut.18:13 You shall be perfect with Yahweh your God.

[239] Rom.8:34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

  Ps.141:2 Let my prayer be set before you like incense; The lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.

[240] Num.16:46 Moses said to Aaron, Take they censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and lay incense thereon, and carry it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from Yahweh; the plague is begun.

[241] Lev.16:12 He shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before Yahweh, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil:

[242] 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?"

[243] Heb.13:11 For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside of the camp. Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate.

  Lev.16:27 The bull for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be carried forth outside the camp; and they shall burn their skins, their flesh, and their dung with fire.

[244] Eph.5:2 Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

[245] Lev.3:16 The priest shall burn them on the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire, for a sweet savor; all the fat is Yahweh's.

  1John4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

[246] John8:34 Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.

[247] Matt.25:41 Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels;

[248] Eph.2:1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience; among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

[249] Rev.20:13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works. Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

[250] Gal.3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,"

[251] Matt.27:46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" That is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

[252] Heb.13:11 For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside of the camp. Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate.

[253] Ps.37:20 But the wicked shall perish. The enemies of Yahweh shall be like the beauty of the fields. They will vanish -- Vanish like smoke.

[254] 2Cor.2:14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place. For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God, in those who are saved, and in those who perish; to the one a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?

[255] Luke23:44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two. Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" Having said this, he breathed his last.

[256] 1Pet.3:22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.

[257] 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.

[258] 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,

[259] Matt.12:28 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come on you.

[260] Heb.1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

[261] 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."

[262] John17:24 Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

[263] John16:27 No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.

[264] 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.

[265] 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.

[266] Matt.25:41 Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you didn't give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink; I was a stranger, and you didn't take me in; naked, and you didn't clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn't visit me.'

[267] 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?”

[268] 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.

[269] 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.

[270] John8:24 I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."

[271] 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?'

[272] Rom.9:5 of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen.

[273] John5:25 I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 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.

[274] Rom.5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins weren't like Adam's disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come.

[275] Gal.3:24 So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith is come, we are no longer under a tutor.

[276] 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.

[277] John5:23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.

[278] 1John3:23 This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded.

[279] 1John4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.

[280] 1Pet.2:21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps, who did not sin, "neither was deceit found in his mouth." Who, when he was reviled, didn't revile back. When he suffered, didn't threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously; who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.

[281] 2Cor.4:4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

[282] Gal.4:19 My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you--

[283] 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?'

[284] 1John1:1 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life (and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us);

[285] Gal.4:9 But now that you know God--or rather are known by God--how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again? You are observing special days and months and seasons and years! I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.

[286] Matt.12:5 Or haven't you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple desecrate the day and yet are innocent? I tell you that one greater than the temple is here. If you had known what these words mean, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent. For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."

[287] John2:20 The Jews therefore said, "Forty-six years was this temple in building, and will you raise it up in three days?" But he spoke of the temple of his body.

[288] Rev.5:12 In a loud voice they sang: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!" Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!" The four living creatures said, "Amen," and the elders fell down and worshiped.

[289] 1Cor.15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body. So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

[290] Matt.10:28 Don't be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

[291] Rom.8:11 But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

[292] 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?”

[293] Is.11:2 The Spirit of Yahweh shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh.

[294] Gal.5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

[295] 1Cor.15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.

[296] Dan.2:45 This is the meaning of the vision of the rock cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands--a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold to pieces. "The great God has shown the king what will take place in the future. The dream is true and the interpretation is trustworthy."

[297] 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.

[298] 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.

[299] Ezra6:12 and the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples who shall put forth their hand to altar [the same], to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with all diligence.

[300] Phil.2:9 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.

[301] 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.

[302] 1Cor.15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.

[303] 1Pet.2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:

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

[305] Rev.20:4 I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as didn't worship the beast nor his image, and didn't receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived, and reigned with Christ for the thousand years.

[306] Rev.22:3 There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants serve him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. There will be no night, and they need no lamp light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever.

[307] Rom.9:5 of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen.

[308] Heb.10:20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

[309] Rom.10:2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn't subject themselves to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

[310] Ex.33:18 He said, "Please show me your glory." He said, "I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of Yahweh before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy." He said, "You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live."

[311] 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?'

[312] 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.

[313] 1Cor.9:9 For it is written in the law of Moses, "You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain." Is it for the oxen that God cares, or does he say it assuredly for our sake? Yes, it was written for our sake, because he who plows ought to plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should partake of his hope.

[314] 2Pet.3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

[315] Deut.8:3 He humbled you, and allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you didn't know, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh does man live.

[316] 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.

[317] Heb.1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

[318] Heb.12:29 for our God is a consuming fire.

[319] Ps.36:9 For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall we see light.

[320] 1John5:20 We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

[321] Is.28:15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come to us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

[322] 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."

[323] 1John3:23 This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded.

  Matt.5:17 "Don't think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn't come to destroy, but to fulfill.

[324] John12:50 I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak."

[325] Heb.1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

[326] Eph.5:11 Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.

  1John2:4 One who says, "I know him," and doesn't keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn't in him.

[327] Rom.6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

[328] Rom.8:19 For the creation waits with eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.

[329] Job1:9 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."

[330] Gen.3:4 The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die,

[331] 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.

[332] 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.

[333] 1John1:5 This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

[334] John3:36 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."

[335] 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.

[336] 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.

[337] Job36:26 Behold, God is great, and we don't know him. The number of his years is unsearchable.

  Eccles.9:1 For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hatred, man doesn't know it; all is before them.

  Job4:18 Behold, he puts no trust in his servants. He charges his angels with error.

[338] 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.

[339] Heb.1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

[340] Eccles.3:14 I know that whatever God does, it shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; and God has done it, that men should fear before him.

[341] 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. All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins."

[342] Acts5:31 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."

[343] Rom.10:14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?

[344] 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.

[345] 1Cor.10:8 We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did--and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. We should not test the Lord, as some of them did--and were killed by snakes. And do not grumble, as some of them did--and were killed by the destroying angel. These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come. So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!

[346] 2Cor.6:1 Working together, we entreat also that you not receive the grace of God in vain, for he says, "At an acceptable time I listened to you, In a day of salvation I helped you." Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.
