† The Father raised His Son to be the King over creatures and the savior from sin and judgment.
2Cor.13:4 For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.
† The Son was resurrected by the power of His Father.
Eph.1:20 which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
† The Father raised His Son from the dead by His power.
Acts2:32 This Jesus God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
† The Father raised His Son.
1Pet.3:18 Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;
† The Father raised His Son through His Spirit.
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.
† The Father raised His Son from the dead by the Spirit of the Father. If the Spirit of the Father who raised the Son, dwells in our bodies[1], He will also give us life to our mortal bodies through the Spirit of the Father.
Acts3:15 and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, whereof we are witnesses.
† The Father raised His Son from the dead.
Acts13:30 But God raised him from the dead,
† The Father raised His Son from the dead.
Acts13:34 "Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: 'I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.'
† The Father raised His Son from the dead.
Rom.4:24 but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus, our Lord, from the dead,
† The Father raised His Son from the dead.
1Cor.6:14 Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.
† The Father raised His Son from the dead by His power.
Gal.1:1 Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
† The Father raised His Son from the dead.
1Thess.1:10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead -- Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
† The Father raised His Son from the dead.
Heb.13:20 Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, the LORD Jesus,
† The Father brought back from the dead His Son.
1Pet.1:21 who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.
† The Father raised His Son from the dead.
Acts4:10 be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in him does this man stand here before you whole.
† The Father raised His Son from the dead.
Acts10:40 God raised him up the third day, and gave him to be revealed,
† The Father raised His Son from the dead.
Acts26:8 Why is it judged incredible with you, if God does raise the dead?
† The Father raised His Son from the dead.
John5:26 For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.
† The Father gave life to His Son. (I think within the limits of space-time, limiting only after God the Son became a creature.) The Father gives life creatures through His Son.
② The Son was resurrected with a spiritual body.
1Cor.15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption.
1Cor.15:43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
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.
† The soulish body with the sinful desires rots and returns to dust, but when we are resurrected, we are clothed with the spiritual body without the sinful desires and do not die again.
Luke20:34 Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry, and are given in marriage.
Luke20:35 But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage.
Luke20:36 For neither can they die any more, for they are like the angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
† When we are resurrected, we become like an angel.[2] If we are resurrected, we do not die, and since the resurrected or transformed body is not a body made of dust, we cannot return to dust.[3] The reason the resurrected saints cannot die is that God only resurrects those who will never sin again. When a creature sins, it must die.[4] Those who refuse to turn from sin to the end, those who will not stop trampling their neighbors if God leaves them alive, God will burn them in the lake of fire.[5] The resurrected saints confirmed their will with their own lives. They overcame temptaion and deception by loving God, and passed the test that was given to them.[6] They proved to the creation world that their faith is true by living a life of loving God and neighbors.[7] Neighbors also acknowledge that they are worthy people[8], so even if God resurrects them and gives them rest, the creatures do not misunderstand God's justice. God will not resurrects the wicked who will rebel against God. Those who are to be thrown into the lake of fire showed their will by their evil deeds.[9] Neighbors understand the death of the wicked[10] because they have seen what evil they are committing.[11] Even if God burns the wicked in the lake of fire, the creatures do not misunderstand God's love.[12]
† It was written as being like an angel, so then, is the angel wearing the same spiritual body[13] as the resurrection body? Or does being like an angel mean not the attributes of the body worn by them, but simply the status of beings equal to angels. Before the resurrection, human being is a soul in a soulish body[14], and an angel is a spirit.[15] Although they are the same creature, humans are perceived to be more valuable than animals. If that is the case, angels may be perceived as more valuable than humans.[16] However, in terms of status, now angels and saints are equally servants of God.[17] The LORD Jesus came as a human, not an angel.[18]
† Even if it is assumed that angels are superior to humans[19], just as humans are superior to beasts[20], if the saints wear the resurrected body and become like an angel, the saints who have undergone sufferings will have a higher status than angels for 1000 years.[21] In new Jerusalem which will be the capital of the creation world for 1000 years because of God's presence[22], the resurrected or transformed saints will rule the kingdom as royal priests under the LORD Jesus.[23] It is only natural that the saints who suffered in the soulish body for the completion of creation, enjoy greater glory than the angels[24] who would not have suffered as much as they did.[25] Because angels cannot be descendants of Abraham[26], they cannot inherit the 1000-year kingdom[27], the inheritance promised to Abraham.[28]
† Although the saints have a spirit[29], humans are basically a soul[30] and clothed with a soulish body.[31] When humans are resurrected, they will be clothed with a spiritual body. Basically, angels are spirits[32], but I don't know if they are clothed with a body.[33] However, there are many similarities[34] between the angels[35] who appeared historically[36] and the LORD Jesus who appeared after His resurrection.[37]
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.
John11:26 Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
John11:27 She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God's Son, he who comes into the world."
† Those who are dead to God are raised by faith in the Son.[38] Those who become slaves of sin and are to be thrown into the lake of fire for death, the wages of sin, receive forgiveness of sins through faith in the Son and are set free from the punishment of sin. They are alive from eternal death. But if they turn back to sin, they can die.[39] However, if a person who is born again after receiving the forgiveness of sins, keeps his/her faith[40] and remains in the Son who is the truth to the end[41], he/she will come to the resurrection of life and receive eternal life with a new body.[42] Since he/she is only sleeping, he/she is not dead even though his/her body has returned to dust.[43] He/She will not be thrown into the lake of fire. This is the eternal life. If the first faith was the faith for forgiveness of sins[44], the subsequent faith is the faith for salvation.[45]
† Those who have received forgiveness of sins and kept their faith to the end[46], even if their bodies return to dust, they will be raised to the resurrection of life before the great white throne and will live forever. If a person who has received forgiveness of sins, lives as a martyr witness by believing in the Son[47], he/she will come to the 1st resurrection which is the better resurrection[48], and not only reign under the King in the 1000-year kingdom[49] but also pass the great white throne judgment, so he/she will not be thrown into the lake of fire.[50] The forgiveness of sins received through faith in the first place is to come out of sin. After that, if we not only keep our faith but also live the life of a martyr witness[51], we can come to the resurrection of life and live forever, and we can become a royal priest in the 1000-year kingdom.
Acts2:24 whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
Acts2:25 For David says concerning him, 'I saw the Lord always before my face, For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
Acts2:26 Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope;
Acts2:27 Because you will not leave my soul in Hades, Neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.
† It is a prophecy about the resurrection that awakens the saints who were sleeping in Hades. The Son was the first to be resurrected and became the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.[52] Those who overcome sin in the way of the Son will be raised to the resurrection of life.
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 typified by the sheaf of the first harvest, the Feast of Firstfuits.[53] The Son died the day before the sabbath[54] and rose again the day after the sabbath.[55] Since the day begins at evening[56], the LORD Jesus died just before the sabbath, passed the sabbath in the tomb, and rose again at dawn after the first night.
| Ω Calculation of the days of the crucifixion | |||
| Premise: I have assumed that 'Saturday' is the sabbath as it is now generally known. (I am assuming that Friday evening through Saturday evening is the sabbath.) There is an argument that Saturday is not the sabbath. I do not affirm that Saturday is the sabbath or that it is not the sabbath. I will simply assume that Saturday is the sabbath and do the calculations. If the other day of the week is the sabbath, the calculation will be moved accordingly. | |||
| Twilight on the 6th day[57] | From the evening of the 7th day to the return of the evening | From the evening when the 1st day begins, through the night to the dawn | Early in the morning of the 1st day |

| *One day is from sunset to sunset the next day. *According to the present day of the week, the sabbath is from Friday evening to Saturday evening. Day 1 begins on Saturday evening. *On the present day of the week, the LORD Jesus died around Friday evening and was resurrected on the 3rd day, Sunday dawn.*The LORD Jesus died on the evening of the 1st month 14th, at twilight on the 1st month 14th, when the Passover lamb was slaughtered.*The time the LORD Jesus ate the Passover supper with His disciples[63] was right after the beginning of the 1st month 14th[64], a day before the usual supper.[65] |
|||
1Pet.1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of the LORD Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy became our father again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
† The LORD Jesus who was clothed with the same body as ours[66], overcame death and rose again, so that we can have the living hope that we too can overcome sin. Because the LORD Jesus Himself showed us that if we follow the way of the LORD Jesus, we will be resurrected like the LORD Jesus[67], so we can no longer live our lives for ourselves[68], but we can live our lives for the LORD Jesus.[69] It is a living hope given to those who have been reborn.[70]
| Ω Why are we resurrected or transformed when we overcome sin? |
| 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." 1Cor.15:55 "Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?" 1Cor.15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. |
| Sin is a transgression[71] of the law[72], and death stings the transgression of the law.[73] The wages of sin is death.[74] This death includes not only the death of being cut off from God[75], but also the curse of the earth in which the soulish body made of dust returns to dust.[76] Because of sin, we were cut off from God, and our bodies also came to return to dust. However, if a person who has been forgiven his/her sins by the blood of the Son and has been accepted by God[77], overcomes sins through God the Holy Spirit[78] with his/her faith[79], he/she will never be cut off from God again.[80] In other words, he/she will live forever.[81] And instead of living forever with the earthen body that was just before being broken[82], he/she lives forever with a new strong and beautiful spiritual body.[83] |
| 2Cor.5:1 For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens. 2Cor.5:2 For most assuredly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven; 2Cor.5:3 if so be that being clothed we will not be found naked. 2Cor.5:4 For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 2Cor.5:5 Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit. |
| The soulish body that was cursed and had no choice but to return to dust[84], is clothed with an uncursed spiritual body.[85] God the Holy Spirit who has come upon us, guarantees that we will be clothed with a spiritual body. |
| 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. Rom.8:12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. Rom.8:13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. Rom.8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God. |
| God the Holy Spirit comes upon those whose sins are forgiven by the blood of the Son, and God the Holy Spirit becomes the guarantee of eternal life, that is, the resurrection and the transformation, and leads them to the path of righteousness.[86] When the Son comes as the King and judges, finally the curse of the earth will be put to an end.[87] When the Son descends into the air to judge sinners[88], the Son will resurrects and transform them with the assurance of God the Holy Spirit[89], and lift them up into the air.[90] Until then, even though sins have been forgiven, the curse of the flesh has not yet ended, so thorns and thistles still rise from the cursed earthen flesh of the saints.[91] The longing for sin[92] still wells up in the saints.[93] However, God the Holy Spirit creates a completely new longing in the earthen flesh where the sinful desires rise, and this is the new law of the Spirit of life.[94] In the past, even if we tried hard to keep the commandments[95], we could not overcome the sinful desires due to the weakness of our flesh[96], so in the end, we had no choice but to give in to sin.[97] But now, to those[98] who are in our LORD Christ Jesus[99], God the Holy Spirit becomes a new power that can overcome the weakness of the cursed flesh[100], and the saints can finally overcome the sinful desires[101] and keep the commandments.[102] This power[103] that God the Holy Spirit[104] shows through us[105] by the new covenant[106], is love.[107] |
| 1Cor.3:16 Don't you know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you? 1Cor.3:17 If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for God's temple is holy, which you are. |
| Only those who receive God the Holy Spirit can overcome sin.[108] However, if someone does not want to fight sin even though he/she received God the Holy Spirit and persists in sin[109], God the Holy Spirit will eventually leave him/her[110], and judgment will be finalized on him/her.[111] Whether God the Holy Spirit is his/her guarantor or not, it is possible to know[112] whether he/she is the one who will be saved[113] or be judged.[114] |
| Eph.4:30 Don't grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 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. 1Thess.5:19 Don't quench the Spirit. Matt.12:31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Matt.12:32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in that which is to come. |
| If we overcome sin with God the Holy Spirit, even our soulish body made of dust will be resurrected or transformed into a spiritual body through God the Holy Spirit.[115] However, even if we received forgiveness of our sins[116] and received God the Holy Spirit at one time, if we do not give up our will to forsake our sins[117], we will grieve God the Holy Spirit, and eventually God the Holy Spirit will leave us.[118] In rare cases, perhaps we might even fall into the sin of blaspheming God the Holy Spirit.[119] God does not force those[120] who do not want to go to heaven[121], who do not want to obey the reign of love.[122] |
| Heb.6:4 For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, Heb.6:5 and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, Heb.6:6 and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and put him to open shame. |
| Humans can overcome sin only through God the Holy Spirit.[123] Even a person who could have reached the resurrection[124] if he/she had overcome sin to the end[125] with God the Holy Spirit[126], can be sufficiently corrupted[127] in the process of verifying[128] whether his/her faith[129] is true.[130] If he/she falls after receiving enough light, God will not force him/her to repent, and he/she will not return to God again.[131] God respects the free will that God Himself has given His creatures.[132] |
| Heb.10:26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins, Heb.10:27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries. Heb.10:28 A man who disregards Moses' law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses. Heb.10:29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will he be judged worthy of, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? Heb.10:30 For we know him who said, "Vengeance belongs to me," says the Lord, "I will repay." Again, "The Lord will judge his people." Heb.10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. |
| Even if someone has been purified by the blood of the Son and has received God the Holy Spirit of grace, if he/she intentionally pursues a life that enjoys sins, since he/she defiled the blood of the Son who had purified him/her and insulted God the Holy Spirit, even if he/she was among God's people[133] in the past, he/she will eventually fall into judgment.[134] |
| Rev.20:11 I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them. Rev.20:12 I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works. 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. |
| If someone is a saint whose faith has been verified by living a life of faith after receiving the forgiveness of sins and his/her name has not been erased from the book of life[135], even if he/she did not participate in the 1st resurrection like the martyr witnesses, he/she will rise to live at the great white throne judgment.[136] It is presumed that he/she will also be clothed with the spiritual body, but he/she cannot reign in the 1000-year kingdom. It is because he/she did not actively participate in suffering to achieve the purpose of God the Creator.[137] Since the rulership in the 1000-year kingdom is a reward[138], those who do not qualify for the prize cannot participate in the 1st resurrection which is being resurrected or transformed in order to reign in the 1000-year kingdom. |
| Heb.11:35 Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. |
| Then, at the 2nd resurrection which will be held at the time of the great white throne judgment, are not the saints who came out of the resurrection of life, those who have overcome sin? These are not those who have given up their easy life or laid down their lives for the sake of the LORD Jesus, but those who have passed the test of faith are right.[139] Seeing that they came out through the resurrection of life, these too are those who have overcome[140] their sinful desires[141], and are the ones God the Holy Spirit guarantees.[142] Those who sin cannot escape judgment, even if they once had their sins forgiven by the blood of the LORD Jesus.[143] However, God will respect the choices of those[144] who have confirmed their will by their life of faith.[145] The resurrection of martyr witnesses who are the firstfruits and the resurrection of common saints are the same resurrection of life, but different. The firstfruits are those who cry out Satan's judgment[146] with their own blood.[147] They are given a reward.[148] But the common saints, even if they slept in the LORD Jesus, did not pass through the sufferings that deserve their reward.[149] They will be raised after the end of the 1000-year kingdom, the period of reward. Then, are only the firstfruits those who kept the commandments? Although the truthfulness of the commandments is proved through the appointed number of firstfruits[150], if the criteria for evaluating firstfruits and common grains were the same, I think that God would not have made a distinction between the two.[151] Perhaps there is a difference in level, but at least there seems to be no difference in the direction toward God.[152] The judgment can only begin when the truthfulness of the commandments is proved and the commandments are established as the basis for judgment.[153] However, when we see that God withholds judgment until the appointed number of firstfruits is completed[154], the truthfulness of the commandments seems to be proved[155] only through the firstfruits[156], the martyr witnesses[157] who loved God and their neighbors to the point of death.[158] Ordinary saints are also those who will come to the resurrection of life. At the time of the great white throne judgment, when the common saints will come to the resurrectoin of life, the 1000-year kingdom has already ended, so it is after the martyr witnesses who had been resurrected by the 1st resurrection, have enjoyed all the rewards. Therefore, there is no longer the concept of superiority. It means that the 1st resurrected ones and the 2nd resurrected ones of life come to stand on an equal footing in the everlasting world[159] that will follow soon.[160] Therefore, perhaps the 2nd resurrection of life that the common saints will come to, is also a resurrection suitable for the everlasting world. Since they are in an equal position, the status of the 1st resurrected ones and the 2nd resurrected ones of life should be the same. Therefore, it it difficult to think that the 1st resurrected ones will suddenly change to a different state. They will still be in the same spiritual bodies they were clothed with at the 1st resurrection. Since the 1st resurrected saints are in the state of being clothed with the spiritual bodies, perhaps the 2nd resurrected saints will also be resurrected with the spiritual bodies. If God would completely change the condition of the resurrected saints as soon as He raised them to the resurrection of life, God would not even clothe them with a spiritual body in the first place. So I guess that there will also be no situation where the meaning of resurrection is lost as soon as they are resurrected. Therefore, I believe that those who will come to the resurrection of life are those who are basically guaranteed by God the Holy Spirit, whether their resurrection is the 1st resurrection or the 2nd resurrection.[161] In other words, the saints raised by the 2nd resurrection of life will also be those who have confirmed their faith beyond the level set by God.[162] These too, although not as much as the firstfruits, must have fought battles of faith in their own lives. However, the reason they are not included in the appointed number of firstfruits may be because no matter how many they are, the truthfulness of the commandments cannot be proved through them. The truthfulness of the commandments seems to be proved[163] only through the martyr witnesses[164] who love God[165] and keep the commandments until death.[166] Therefore, in my opinion, even if not to the extent of proving the truthfulness of the commandments like the firstfruits, it seems that the common saints also lived a righteous life enough to prove their will through God the Holy Spirit by loving God. Are we then saved by works? Never.[167] Since God did not give creatures the ability to know everything[168], creatures have no choice but to comprehend the state of other creatures only by their actions.[169] Therefore, in order for God to show the fairness of judgment to the creatures[170], He must judge His creatures based on their works.[171] To make the creatures not to misunderstand God's justice, God will reveal the entire deeds of each creature at the time of judgment.[172] At that time, what kind of judgment will God make in front of the neighboring creatures who see the evil deeds of a creature who verbally promised to obey the Son but did not live a life of obedience to the Son of love?[173] Would the LORD Jesus recognize him/her who refused to stop trampling on his/her neighbors, as a believer in the LORD Jesus in front of his/her neighbors who had been trampled upon by him/her? Because the believer's faith must be shown as a righteous act[174] through God the Holy Spirit[175], faith and action are the same thing in God the Holy Spirit.[176] Those who believe in the Son will submit to God the Holy Spirit[177], and those who submit to God the Holy Spirit[178] will bear fruits of righteous deeds.[179] If a person does not bear the fruit of God the Holy Spirit[180], it will be exposed that he/she does not obey God the Holy Spirit[181], and that his/her covenant to obey the LORD Jesus was a lie.[182] He/she apostatized along the way[183], and even though he/she was once forgiven of his/her sins, he/she does not receive the end of his/her faith, the salvation from the lake of fire.[184] |
| Conclusion Since the Son took the curse of sin in our place, the curse ends on those covered with His blood.[185] After our sins are forgiven, we can come to God[186] and we will not be thrown into the lake of fire.[187] Since the Son took our death in our place, we no longer die.[188] But God does not resurrect us as soon as we are covered with the blood of the Son.[189] To reveal the truthfulness of our faith and to prove the truthfulness of the commandments, God allows us to be tested.[190] Until the time of judgment, our faith is revealed[191] through our actions[192], and God the Holy Spirit confirms our faith[193] by transforming our faith into pure works.[194] And God the Holy Spirit guarantees us until we are finally resurrected or transformed in His justice.[195] Our resurrection or transformation is the proof that God the Holy Spirit is our guarantee. The fact that God the Holy Spirit is our guarantee of resurrection, means that we are overcomers against sin. This is because God the Holy Spirit guarantees only those who overcome sin.[196] God the Holy Spirit comes on those who try to fight sin, and when God the Holy Spirit comes on those who try to fight sin, they will surely overcome sin.[197] As God the Holy Spirit Himself assures us, creatures can be sure that we who are resurrected or transformed, have truly overcome sin. The curse that was partially ended through the atonement of the Son[198], is finally put to an end through God the Holy Spirit.[199] Even after the curse was partially over, we could sin[200] and die again[201], but through God the Holy Spirit, we are perfected as a creature that cannot sin[202], so we cannot die again.[203] |
③ By His resurrection, the Son proved that He had kept the commandments perfectly.
Rom.1:4 who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,
† Two claims can be made here. ①The claim that 'The Son was declared as the Son of God through His resurrection, and it proves that the Son is the Creator' is one of them. That is, The One who overcame is the Creator. ②The other claim is that 'The Son was declared as the Son of God through His resurrection, and it proves that the Son is the Firstborn over all creatures', that is, the Son overcame as a creature. The main content of claim① that the resurrection proves that the Son is the Creator, is this. Except for God, the Word who became a creature, there is no creature that can overcome sin even though he/she is clothed with the cursed flesh. Therefore, the Son must be resurrected first to prove Himself as God, the Word who overcomes sin. The main content of claim② that the resurrection proves that the Son is the Firstborn over all creatures, is this. For those who would become the sons after the Firstborn Son, that is, for adoptees, the Son was clothed with the cursed flesh and set the example of overcoming sin.
† Whatever the case may be when it means being declared to be the Son of God here, because God the Creator, the Only Begotten Son, determined to complete creation by perfecting the creatures with things like His image[204], and He Himself became a creature[205], therefore, the Son is the Only Begotten God the Creator[206] and is also the Firstborn creature.[207] It means that it does not matter whether the above statement refers to the Son as the Only Begotten God the Creator or to the Firstborn creature. God the Creator, the Only Begotten Son, became the Firstborn creature.[208] Whether the Son is proved to be the Only Begotten God the Creator through His resurrection or to be the Firstborn creature, the Son is the Only Begotten God the Creator and is also the Firstborn creature. But, given that the Son came as adam to prove the truthfulness of the commandments, it seems more correct to argue that the Son was proved to be the Firstborn creature through His resurrection. If we, too, keep the commandments through God the Holy Spirit[209], we will be resurrected or transformed through God the Holy Spirit[210] and become the sons of God, the adopted children of God.[211]
† I believe that this power means the power to overcome sin through God the Holy Spirit. If we commit a sin, we cannot be resurrected because we have to pay the wages of sin, death.[212] However, the Son who is the Word[213], overcame sin and was resurrected through the power of God the Holy Spirit.[214] Resurrection is possible only by overcoming sin, so the power of resurrection is the power to overcome sin. Those who are filled with the word of God like the Son who is the Word, and overcome sin through God the Holy Spirit[215], will also be resurrected by God.[216]
† Satan claims that there is no creature that will not sin.[217] Satan's argument is that it is impossible for a creature to love God and his/her neighbors. Satan is jabbering that the commandments God has given are unreasonable for creatures to keep[218], the God who gave creatures to keep the commadments creatures cannot keep, is a liar, and the God who judges His creatures for failing to keep the commandments creatures cannot keep, is a murderer.[219] Satan is taking the name of God in vain.[220] Satan claims that the commandments cannot be kept anyway, so it is unfair to condemn his actions based on the commandments, so he claims to be innocent.[221] If a creature claims that it is innocent of breaking the commandments because the commandments themselves are wrong, he/she is making God a liar.[222]
† The conclusive proof that the Son did not sin, is the resurrection.[223] According to God's law of justice, those who have sinned are bound to be caught by death. That the Son overcame death means that the Son did not sin and kept all the commandments. Since the Son was clothed with the cursed flesh with the sinful desires and kept all the commandments[224], the saints who follow the Son[225] can keep all the commandments of love[226], even if they are clothed with the cursed flesh with the sinful desires, if they are filled with the word of God[227] and God the Holy Spirit[228] just like the Son.[229] How much easier would it be to keep the commandments for angels who have no sinful desires.[230] Even though the Son was clothed with the cursed flesh with thorns and thistles coming up[231], He overcame sin and rose from the dead. Therefore, it has been proved that a creature is capable of loving God and their neighbors. It has been proved that the commandments are worthy to be established as the basis of judgment. Therefore, breaking the commandments and trampling on one's neighbor is condemned.[232] Judgment on the sinners has been almost confirmed.[233] If only the appointed number of martyr witnesses[234] who keep the commandments of love are completed[235], the judgment on the sinners is fully confirmed.[236]
† If we have sin, we cannot be resurrected because we cannot overcome death.[237] Because a human is clothed with the cursed flesh, it is more difficult for him/her to overcome sin than an angel without the cursed flesh. From the cursed flesh[238], the body of death[239], come forth thorns and thistles[240], the sinful desires.[241] It is more difficult for humans to keep the commandments even in their hearts[242] according to the original meaning of the commandments[243], than it is for angels to keep them. If such a human being can overcome sin and be resurrected, an angel who has no desires for sin, will be able to overcome sin even more.
† Angels would be no different from humans if they were clothed with the cursed flesh. The angels, Satan fraudswarms, have fallen even without the desires of sin that come from the cursed flesh. If the sinful desires come from angels, shouldn't angels struggle with sin just like humans do?[244] The 1st Adam also sinned without the desires for sin, but he was deceived and there is still room for repentance, so the result is different from Satan fraudswarms. The unfallen angels have already overcome Satan's deception once[245], but if they too put on the cursed flesh, they will have a hard time fighting sin.
† Even the LORD Jesus who had perfect free will and could never sin[246], had to depend on the power of God the Holy Spirit and struggle with sin because He was clothed with the cursed flesh.[247] Because the LORD Jesus had perfect free will, (Please forgive me to express THEE, my LORD, as if I express a creature.) He did all[248] that was necessary to not sin in the cursed flesh.[249] God is maintaining the creation world so that if we act like the LORD Jesus, we will not sin enough.[250]
† Even if the angels have overcome Satan's deception once, they are imperfect creatures whose free will is not yet perfected. If they put on the cursed flesh, they too would surely sin and would need a ransom. However, God did not prove the truthfulness of the commandments by making the angels into humans, but by creating humans separately to prove the truthfulness of the commandments, the possibleness of observance of the commandments.[251]
† The LORD Jesus came as Adam, but because the LORD Jesus, the Word, was the perfect image of God[252] and had perfect free will[253], the LORD Jesus was unable to sin and therefore the LORD Jesus did not need atonement. But the LORD Jesus also had to overcome sin through the power of God the Holy Spirit.[254] If the LORD Jesus had come to the creation world in a state that He could overcome sin without the power of God the Holy Spirit, He would not have been able to set an example for Adam to overcome sin.[255] This is because Adam cannot overcome sin without the power of God the Holy Spirit, because of the desires for sin that rise from his cursed flesh.[256] Does that mean, then, that the LORD Jesus would have sinned if it had not been through the power of God the Holy Spirit?
† The LORD Jesus created Adam as a creature who can overcome the desires for sin only when Adam received the power of God the Holy Spirit.[257] In other words, God created a human being as a creature[258] who can love God[259] only when he/she realized the love of God[260] through the word[261] of truth[262] and God the Holy Spirit.[263] Therefore, if the LORD Jesus came as Adam but did not receive the power of God the Holy Spirit, it would only mean that the LORD Jesus chose to sin on His own. The LORD Jesus created a human being as a creature who can truly love God and his/her neighbors only when he/she received the power of God the Holy Spirit.[264] In doing so, if the LORD Jesus Himself became a human being without the power of God the Holy Spirit, what would it be, unless the LORD Jesus Himself determined that He would not love God and neighbors? It means that the Creator Himself denies the reign of the creation world by the commandments of love, and that the Creator will lie to His creatures. It is absolutely impossible.[265] To have perfect free will means to submit completely to God the Holy Spirit[266], but it does not mean that he/she can overcome the desires for sin without God the Holy Spirit. Since the LORD Jesus came as Adam, unless the LORD Jesus received the power of God the Holy Spirit, the LORD Jesus who came as Adam, must have sinned because the LORD Jesus Himself created Adam as such a creature. But it is the Creator Himself who is the truth, places a contradiction of falsehood in His creation world.[267] Then, unless God is a liar, God's creation itself cannot even begin in the first place.[268]
† Unless their free will is perfected through the LORD Jesus, the possibility to sin hidden in angels is also not completely annihilated. Therefore, even if angels have no desires for sin because they are not clothed with the cursed flesh, if they are left as they are now, even the angels will surely sin someday.[269] That is why God proves His love and justice to the angels through humans.[270] Only by the love of the Creator poured out through the cross can the angels also be freed from the possibility to sin.[271] Therefore, the cross of the LORD Jesus is the channel through which God transmits His life to His creatures. Creatures who do not receive God's love through the cross and do not follow the way of the Son, cannot keep the commandments of love because they do not have the life of God. They will eventually die.[272] The earthen flesh was cursed to produce thorns and thistles.[273] In addition, Satan deceives Adam who received the word of God, the Spirit[274], and tries to eat Adam by turning Adam into dust without the word of God.[275] Neither angels nor humans can overcome sin by their own strength. Both angels and humans overcome sin only by the grace of God.[276] In particular, since Adam is clothed with the body of death[277] and does not have the wisdom or power to overcome Satan's deceptions[278], Adam himself cannot overcome sin even more.[279] Nevertheless, the Son became Adam, put on the body of death, and overcame sin through God the Holy Spirit, becoming an example for us to follow.[280]
④ The Last Adam broke the serpent's head.
† The Son Himself became the firstfruits[281] and brings forth the firstfruits.[282] The Son kept the commandments of love and makes the martyr witnesses to keep the commandments of love.[283] God the Holy Spirit came to those who were cleansed by the blod of the Son[284] and laid the foundation for the firstfruits who follow the Son and keep the commandments of love.[285] Therefore, through the commandments proved their truthfulness by the resurrection of the Son, Satan is condemned, the head of Satan is crushed.[286] The judgment on sin will be fully confirmed through the firstfruits that God the Holy Spirit will bear.[287] When all doubts about the possibleness of observance of the commandments of love are extinguished[288] through the resurrected or transformed martyr witnesses by keeping the commandments until death[289], the Son will come again to execute judgment on those who break the commandments of love and trample on their neighbors.[290]
John5:22 For neither does the Father judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
John5:23 that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him.
John5:26 For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.
John5:27 He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
† The Word came as a weak creature and became the criterion of judgment.[291] Those who accept the Word will submit to the Son who came as a weak creature, and those who reject the Word will persist in their sins and will not receive the Son. Since the Son came as a weak, powerless creature, creatures can be distinguished between those who love God those who do not. Those who pretended to obey God for fear of the Creator's power, will reveal the iniquity and savagery within them[292], and those who obey God because they truly love their Creator, will show the honesty of their hearts through obedience to the Word that has come in weakness. There will be a division between those who love God and those who trample on Him. Those who love love and keep the commandments of love will obey the Son who came as a weak creature, and those who love to shed the blood of their neighbors for their own pleasure will kill the weak Son to satisfy their evil greed.[293]
† The Son will come again and will throw the creatures who do not obey Him into the lake of fire.[294] Only the creatures who love the commandments of love will remain.[295] The Son who is life, will be life to the saints[296] who bear the infirmities of the cross along the way of the Son and die in the world[297] dominated by Satan. The LORD Jesus will fill us with His life and raise us from the dead[298] through God the Holy Spirit.[299] To leave only creatures that obey love. This is the reason why the Son came in weakness, and the reason why the Father gave the Son the life that can overcome death[300] and gave Him the authority to judge.[301] (I am now looking at God the Son who became a creature within the limits of space-time.[302])
† Unfallen angels who obey the commandments will obey in love, admiring the love of the Son who bears the cross in weakness, but fallen angels who regard the commandments of love as garbage, can never submit to weakness. They will trample the commandments by force. Therefore, the Son's coming in weakness is the consummation of salvation for the pure and the consummation of judgment for the fallen.
† The Father's name, the name above every name, contains authority over all creatures.[303] Of course it also includes the power to judge. Therefore, when the Son inherits His Father's name, it means that the Son inherits the creation world. Because the Father loves His Son[304], the Father gave His Son His name with which the Son can rule over the entire creation world so that all creatures may honor the Son as they honor the Father.[305] Every creature must submit to the Son who inheirits His Father's name, and the Son will judge and throw those[306] who do not obey Him[307] into the lake of fire.
† Since the Son determined to come as a creature and take the cross, the authority to lay His life down and the authority to take it up again, that is, the commandment of death and resurrection to prove God's love, was entrusted to the Son.[308] The Creator Son became obedient to the Father even to death, and inherited the Father's name and all the authorities contained therein[309], so that all creatures honor the Son as they honor the Father.[310] Even before God the Son became a creature[311], angels would have worshiped God the Son with fear[312], but now that God the Son forsook all His authority to come as a creature[313] and gained authority again as a creature from His Father, the angels worship God not only with fear but also with love.[314] Sinners who do not obey the commandments of love and trample on their Creator who came as a weak creature by force, are judged and thrown into the lake of fire. Creatures who come to know God's love through the Son who became a creatrue, obey the commandments of love with love. Only creatures who obey the commandments of love, will remain in the creation world.[315] Creation come to be completed.
John12:31 Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
John12:32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself."
† Because the Son took the cross, Satan's sin which ended up killing even his Creator, was clearly revealed.[316] The way for God the Holy Spirit to come was prepared because those who received the Son were cleansed with the blood of the Son.[317] Satan is driven out from the realm where God the Holy Spirit reigns.[318] Through the resurrection of the Son, the path was opened for the adoptees who would take the cross and be resurrected or transformed according to the example of the Son.[319] Adoptees, the sons of God, the children of God, the firstfruits of God, the martyr witnesses[320], will finally prove the truthfulness of the commandments through the blood of the Son and the presence of God the Holy Spirit by keeping the commandments of love and being resurrected or transformed.[321] When the truthfulness of the commandments is proved through the resurrection of martyr witnesses[322], and the commandments are recognized as the righteous criterion of judgment, all creatures that break the commandments of love are condemned and the way of the Son who will judge the transgressors is prepared. Since the coming of God the Holy Spirit, martyr witnesses who keep the commandments of love continue to come out. When the last firstfruits, the firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, are brought forth[323], the Son will come again to judge Satan fraudswarms.
John16:11 about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
† Satan was condemned on the cross. Judgment will be executed when the appointed number of martyr witnesses is completed.[324]
Col.2:15 having stripped(apekdooomahee:wholly put off) the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
† Since Satan took the authority over all the kingdoms from the 1st Adam[325], the principalities and powers, the arkhay and exooseeah, that rule the world here, is probably Satan fraudswarms. (It can be argued that Adam's authority to rule over the world was not deprived of 'Satan' but 'sin'. If this were the case, Satan would have no limited temporary vicarious management proxy over all the kingdoms of the earth. This is the view that 'sin' reigns not 'Satan'.[326] In any case, humans are following the ways of Satan.[327]) The Son regained the dominion over the garden of Eden which the 1st Adam had lost because of his sin. Whether the dominion over the garden of Eden is limited to the garden of Eden or extends to all of Hades including Eden, God's decree to prove the truthfulness of the commandments through Adam of Eden and to complete His creation by judging sin, extends not only to Hades but also to the entire creation world. For that reason, it is not expected that the results will be different no matter how far the domain of the rulership from which the 1st Adam was deprived. As the 1st Adam was defeated by Satan and became a slave of sin[328], the authority had been entrusted to the 1st Adam passed to Satan. But the Son the Last Adam, overcame sin and made Satan His slave, so that the 1st Adam regained the management proxy he had lost due to his sin.
† Of course, the Son, the Creator, restored Adam's lost management proxy in the capacity of Adam as a creature. However, the authority over the land that God initially gave to the 1st Adam was not a permanent ownership or dominion, but a temporary proxy that was entrusted to Adam to manage it temporarily until the coming of the Son[329], the rightful Heir.[330] Since God could at any time command Adam how to administer it, the authority entrusted to Adam was limited, temporary, vicarious management proxy right. Satan usurped the limited temporary vicarious management proxy that had been entrusted to Adam until the coming of the Son.[331] Therefore, when the Son who is the Heir and the Owner, comes, whether Adam, Satan, or any other creature, must submit to the Son.[332] The Son does not need to take any authority back from sin or Satan. This is because the Son did not sin, and the land that God entrusted to the 1st Adam, was always God's. However, for the sake of the 1st Adam, the Son regains the authority that the 1st Adam had lost because of his sin.[333]
† Satan added another sin by claiming that all the kingdoms of the world belong to him even though the Son who owns him, has come. Nevertheless, the Son kept Satan alive for a while in order to prove the truthfulness of the commandments through the 1st Adam who would come into the Last Adam, and to prepare the way to judge Satan. Also, in order to complete creation by proving God's love by taking the cross as a human being with weakness, the Son did not claim His right as Heir[334] and did not immediately kill Satan.[335] The Son confronted and overcame Satan's illegitimate reign in the capacity of a human being[336], in order to expose the reality of sin and Satan[337] and to condemn and judge sin and Satan justly.[338] Therefore, the creatures came to know the truthfulness of the commandments of love, to see Satan's atrocities[339], and to understand God's love. The foundation upon which the creation world can be completed, was laid.
† The 1st Adam who came into the Last Adam, was able to stand as those who prepare the way for the Son to come again[340] who will exercise His ownership of the creation world and judge all sinners who do not obey Him.[341] As the Last Adam restored the temporary proxy of the 1st Adam lost due to his sin, the 1st Adam who was reborn from the Last Adam[342] through God the Holy Spirit[343], was able to use his temporary management proxy again[344] in God the Holy Spirit[345], even before the Son who has the possessive sovereignty comes again.[346] This management proxy that Adam regained in the Last Adam, is God the Holy Spirit who comes in the name of the victorious Son.[347]
† Those with this limited temporary vicarious management proxy must fight against Satan's evil intrigues to stain the earth with sin and blaspheme the commandments to prevent martyr witnesses from coming out.[348] If the appointed number of martyr witnesses is not completed, the proof of the truthfulness of the commandments cannot be made.[349] If the truthfulness of the commandments cannot be proved, the commandments are abrogated and Satan avoids judgment by the commandments.[350] If that happens, all creatures, including angels and humans, will die in pain, and the creation world will eventually perish.[351] Bloody oppression by force will be excercised even to the places governed by the commandments of love.[352] Those who oppress will be cut off from the life of God and perish, and those who are oppressed will die in powerlessness. But that can never happen.[353] If the Creator lied, the creation world itself would be impossible to exist in the first place.[354]
† By the triumph of the LORD Jesus on the cross, the claims of the principalities and powers oppressing by coercion of lawlessness and seeking to abolish the commandments, were exposed as lies. The Son regained Adam's management proxy which had been taken away by Satan, in the capacity of Adam. Since the limited temporary vicarious management proxy over the earth is also included in the absolute sovereignty over the entire creation world, the proxy over Hades belongs to the Son who has the possessive sovereignty over the entire creation world.[355] However, because the Son overcame Satan in the capacity of Adam and regained the 1st Adam's management proxy from Satan[356], the management proxy that had been taken away from Adam, could be regranted to Adam who overcame Satan by following the Son's path.[357]
† The LORD Jesus restored the management proxy that Adam had been lost due to his sin.[358] As long as we are free from sin[359], we are no longer dominated by Satan.[360] To be more precise, the dominion which now belongs to the LORD Jesus because of His coming[361], is newly given to Adam who is set free from sin by the blood of the LORD Jesus.[362] When the Son returns as the King and establishes His kingdom for 1000 years, this temporary proxy used to prepare the King's way[363], is given as rulership over the fiefs[364] of the 1000-year kingdom.[365] The management proxy of the 1st Adam which was restored by the Last Adam[366], is now revealed as the rulership through God the Holy Spirit[367], that is, the kingdom of God.[368]
Rom.16:20 And the God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
† The LORD Jesus, the Seed of the woman, smashed Satan's head.[369] We are the remnant[370] of the Seed[371] of the woman, born again of the Seed of the woman.[372] We too will follow the LORD Jesus to crush Satan.[373] The LORD Jesus is waiting for us to tread down and crush Satan after the LORD Jesus.[374] When we shed our blood to prove the truthfulness of the commandments, judgment on Satan will be executed.[375] Our neighbors are waiting in agony for the images of God that will pour out their blood and crush Satan.[376] When we seek to suffer and seek to shed our blood to save our neighbors from suffering[377], the LORD Jesus will make it possible for us to endure our sufferings[378], He will make it possible for us to shed our blood[379], and He will make it possible for us to trample on Satan.[380]
⑤ The curtain leading to the most holy place was torn.
Matt.27:50 Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
Matt.27:51 Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.
† Sometimes death is expressed as the giving up the soul[381], but the death of the Son is expressed as the giving up the Spirit. Stephen also prays for his spirit to be received[382] as the Son cried out.[383] The Son has opened the way to the true most holy place through His blood.[384] The curtain leading to the most holy place was torn, and the sins of those belonging to the Last Adam were forgiven. The Son's Spirit[385] and Soul[386] is left from His body.
Heb.6:19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil;
Heb.6:20 where as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
† Only the high priest can enter the most holy place. The Son entered the true most holy place as the High Priest in order of Melchizedek which was superior to the order of Aaron.[387] The Son sits at the right hand of His Father's throne in the most holy place, interceding for the saints.[388] Those who follow the Son, relying on the blood of the Son, become priests according to the order of Melchizedek, and can approach the throne of grace with confidence where the Son is seated.[389] Although there is only one true High Priest who is the Mediator between the Father and the creatures, in the Son the saints become royal priests and can approach the throne of the most holy place where the Son sits.[390] Now, we approach the throne through God the Holy Spirit[391], but in the 1000-year kingdom after we are resurrected or transformed with a spiritual body, we will be able to enter into the most holy place, new Jerusalem[392], to worship before the throne of the Father and the Son.[393]
† The true most holy place is opened by the blood of the Son[394], and the Son ascends into heaven through resurrection and sits on the true throne in the true most holy place. The Son works as the High Priest in the true most holy place.[395] The time when the atonement of the Son who intercedes for Adam in the true most holy place[396], is completed, is when the appointed number of martyr witnesses are resurrected or transformed. When the truthfulness of the commandments is proved through the resurrection and the transformation of the martyr witnesses, God's love and justice which began to be proved through the cross, are finally confirmed. The time when the last trumpet, the 7th trumpet, is sounded, when the saints are resurrected or transformed, is the Day of Atonement.[397] At this time, the free will of the angels is perfected.[398] This is the time when the true sanctuary and the true most holy place are cleansed, when the free will of the angels is perfected and the possibility of transgression remaining in the angels is annihilated. Finally, the proof of the possibleness of observance of the commandments is completed, and all proofs of God's love and justice are completed. Angels will no longer misunderstand God's love and justice. While all doubts about God remaining in the angels are annihilated, that is, while the true temple is cleansed[399], 7 plagues are poured out on Hades, the altar of burnt offering.[400] When angels truly understand God's love and justice, they will not sin again. Because they come to truly love God.[401] Because God's love and justice are demonstrated by the blood of the Son shed on the cross, the blood of the cross makes creatures at peace with the Father.[402]
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 ascended to heaven by resurrection and entered the true most holy place in the heaven of angels. The Son is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Father, pouring out God the Holy Spirit on the saints[403] and interceding for the saints.
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;
† Through the blood of the Son who tore the curtain of flesh on the cross, we were able to enter the most holy place. The time when the resurrected or transformed body of the saints actually enters into the most holy place, new Jerusalem, is in the 1000-year kingdom. Now we come to the Son who intercedes in the most holy place seated on the throne, through God the Holy Spirit.
John8:34 Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
John8:35 A bondservant doesn't live in the house forever. A son remains forever.
John8:36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
† The house is the creation world.[404] The slaves of sin cannot dwell in the creation world forever because they will be judged and thrown into the lake of fire along with death the wages of sin, and Hades where sin is imprisoned.[405] But God will leave creatures that are subject to the Son. This is freedom and eternal life.
Rom.5:17 For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.
Rom.5:18 So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.
Rom.5:19 For as through the one man's disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one will many be made righteous.
Rom.5:20 The law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly;
Rom.5:21 that as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
† When God grants free will to His creatures, it means that He allows us to love Him and also allows us to hate Him. It means that He allows us to forsake our sins, but it also means that He allows us to cherish our sins.[406] Therefore, the possibility to sin is hidden in the creatures that have been granted free will inevitably. But if we sin, we are cut off from the life of our God the Creator.[407] No creature can live on its own without the life of our Creator God.[408] It is impossible to be continued to exist if we are cut off from our Creator God.[409] Thus, unless God exterminates the possibility to sin which is hidden in the creatures by God granting them free will, they have no choice but to die. But God never created His creatures to kill them.[410] When God grants free will to the creatures, it means therefore, that God has determined that He will perfect the free will of His creatures.[411] The cross was ordained before creation.[412] (I think of it with the thought of a creature that cannot escape the sequential flow of time.) The cross that must be cut off from each other, the most precious, is the pain of God.[413] God paid the price of indescribable suffering in order to grant free will to His creatures.[414]
† A creature that is granted free will cannot know for itself whether it is in the right or wrong state.[415] Because the standard of right and wrong is God[416], and only God the Creator who created creatures, can tell the creatures what is right and what is wrong.[417] It is right to obey God, and it is wrong to disobey God. It is right to love God, and it is wrong to hate God.[418] It is right to cherish our neighbors, and it is wrong to trample our neighbors.[419] However, a creature that does not look to God cannot know that fact.[420] So God gives laws to the creatures.[421] God gives the commandments to love God and neighbors so that the creatures can know what is right and what is wrong.
† Through the command not to eat the fruit of good and evil, Adam discovers his possibility to sin hidden in his heart.[422] Even though God told him not to eat it, he discovers the uneasy reality of eating it after Eve.[423] Without the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Adam would not have been able to realize that he was going to die[424], and he would not have been able to realize that he absolutely needed the tree of life.[425] Therefore, he would not have felt the need to come to God.
† The fact that the 1st Adam who was captured by death, became captured by life through the Last Adam, also shows the process of Adam who rebelled against God, realizing his own sin and giving up his sin in order to come to God.[426] The 1st Adam who did not realize his hidden sin, disobeyed God and ate the fruit of good and evil, but the Last Adam gave up His right of choice and chose to obey God even to death.[427] God shows us the process of being born as a descendant of the 1st Adam and living a life of eating the fruit of good and evil[428], realizing our sins and being born again as the descendant of the Last Adam[429], and changing into a life of eating the fruit of life, that is, a life of loving God and neighbors.[430] We who were born as descendants of the 1st Adam, must be reborn as descendants of the Last Adam, completely abandoning the possibility of choosing sin, and being perfected in the image of God[431], obedient to the commandments of love even to death.[432] Creation is the process in which the 1st Adam who still has the possibility of transgression, passes through the cross, completely throws away the sins hidden in him[433], and is perfected as a descendant of the last Adam who is impossible to sin.[434] Creation is, therefore, the grace of God the Creator which He pours out on His creatures while He going through the painful and painful process of the cross in order to perfect His creatures.[435] This grace which is freely poured out on us[436], is actually the tears and blood of God.[437]
Eph.1:7 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
† We have our sins forgiven through the blood of the LORD Jesus. Because the Son was forsaken in our place, we who have sinned are accepted by the Father through the blood of the Son.
Col.1:13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love;
Col.1:14 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins;
† The reality of this kingdom of the Son, that is, the heaven made in Hades[438], is God the Holy Spirit.[439] Because we were under sin, we had no choice but to serve as slave to Satan. God cleansed us from our sins by the blood of atonement, delivered us from the power of Satan, from his unlawful oppression, and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son who reigns with the commnadments of love. Since the Son has not yet judged Satan fraudswarms, in Hades is the realm of sin where Satan who ignores the commandments, is running rampant.[440] Among the realms of sin, there is a realm where God has purged with the blood of the Son and shined with His truth, and that is the realm of righteousness where God the Holy Spirit reigns.[441] We became slaves to righteousness because we were freed from the slavery of sin through the blood of the Son and became obedient to the truth.[442]
Heb.9:22 According to the law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.
† The sprinkling of the blood of animals washes away sins from all the utensils of the sanctuary used for the forgiveness of sins. This is a model of the cleansing of all the creation world which has been defiled with sin, by the blood of the Son.[443] The altar of burnt offering is Hades, and the inside of the sanctuary is the heaven of angels. The LORD Jesus purifies not only the heaven of angels but also Hades where Satan fraudswarms are imprisoned, with His blood.
Heb.9:23 It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
† The substance of the blood of the beast that was sprinkled to purify the sanctuary, is the blood of the Son. The love and justice of God is in the blood of the Son. In the blood of the Son, there is the justice of the Father to pay the price for sins even by forsaking His Son[444], and the love of the Father who desires to save those who repent of their sins even by forsaking His Son.[445] The love contained in the Son's blood, cuts off the lusts of the creatures toward sin[446], and the justice contained in the Son's blood, confirms the judgment on the creatures who disobey 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 most holy place placed in the tabernacle on earth was a model of the true most holy place in heaven.[447] The Son who inherited the name above every name, ascended into heaven after His resurrection and sat on the throne of the true most holy place, interceding for us.[448]
Heb.9:25 nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his own,
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.
† In the sacrificial system of the sanctuary, the ritual in which the high priest entered the most holy place once a year and shed blood, was a model of the Son taking the cross once to purify His creation world from sin.[449] Salvation and judgement on the creatures through the blood once shed by the Son, has been confirmed and will soon be executed. Salvation will be executed on those who receive the Son and submit to the reign of the commandments accomplished by the Son's love, and judgment will be executed on those who reject the Son and break the commandments of love.[450]
Heb.9:27 Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,
† After the 1st Adam's sin, all people must die and return to dust.[451] This is the result of our sin that have come under the influence of sin, and it is a natural phenomenon that we encounter when the sinful desires arises from our earthen flesh. (There may be other arguments for the correlation between the sinful desires and returning to dust.) This death of flesh is different from the death which is the wages of sin. Death by the wages of sin, is being cut off from God[452], but death of flesh is a sleep in which the flesh returns to dust.[453] Even those who have been cut off from God, even if they are already dead, can still live, breathe, and work until their flesh return to dust.[454] But they cannot obey God's command.[455]
† When Adam sinned, Adam died and his body came to return to dust. (To be precise, Adam was already an idolater because he loved Eve more than God.[456] Because he died to God, his death appeared as a sin of disbedience to the Word.) However, through faith in the Son who would come as the Seed of a woman[457], Adam was forgiven of his sins and was able to return to God.[458]
† Before the Son comes, sins are forgiven through faith in the Son to come, and faith in the Son to come, is shown by offering sacrifices to God[459] and keeping the laws God has given.[460] This law is the 10 commandments, but it is presumed that before the 10 commandments were given, it was a law of conscience.[461] Of course, since the law in the true sense[462] cannot be kept by humans strength[463], it is expected that the standard of righteousness that God requires will depend on the degree of the light of the truth that has been shone on each individual.[464]
† But even before the law was given, God had given the law to His people.[465] Therefore, people of God could come to God. Nevertheless, Adam could not avoid the consequences of his flesh returning to dust[466] because the earth was cursed due to his transgression. Through the blood of the Son on the cross, death which is being cut off from the life of God by sin, was conquered.[467] When the Son comes again and gives the spiritual body to the saints who are resurrected or transformed by the 1st resurrection, the death of the body returning to dust, will be conquered.[468] Adam's flesh must return to dust due to the curse that the earthen body received, even if Adam never sinned after being born. Because Adam became a slave of sin, the earth was cursed.[469] Therefore, the Son who was clothed with the sinful desires as we are, and underwent the same temptations as we do[470], would have returned to dust[471], had He lived as such.[472] This is different from death by being cut off from the Father by sinning.[473] The word spoken to the 1st Adam who was cut off from God and died, is the curse of the earth. That is, the desires of sin that rise from the flesh[474] and the sleep of the flesh returning to dust. After the sinning of the 1st Adam, every human body came to return to dust due to this curse, but the 1st Adam who was reborn in the Last Adam, will be clothed with a spiritual body through the resurrection of life.[475]
† Therefore, the words of 1Cor.15:22 'For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.' contain the meaning that 'As in Adam all came to return to dust, so in Christ all will be raised with a spiritual body'. Of course, I believe that this verse also contains the spiritual meaning of, 'In Adam all die since we come to be compelled to sin because of our flesh from which the sinful desires arise, but in Christ all have our sins forgiven, and through God the Holy Spirit we can overcome our sins, so we will be made alive'. Because the 1st Adam sinned, the earth was cursed and Adam's earthen body made of dust naturally came to produce thorns and thistles that desiring to disobey God.[476]
† Since the body of Adam who came under the influence of sin, must return to dust, if the Son was not clothed with the body to return to dust, it would mean that the Son put on a different body from the cursed earthen body of Adam who sinned. If so, then the Son who kept the commandments of love, would not be an example to us who are clothed with a cursed body. No matter how well the Son who did not put on humans' cursed body, kept the commandments, there is no basis for demanding that humans who are clothed with the cursed body, keep the commandments. Therefore, even if the Son did not put on the cursed body and kept all the commandments and lived a life of loving God and neighbors, it does not prove that anyone can fully keep the commandments of love. So, it is not enough to convince creatures of the truthfulness of the commandments. The Son must have been clothed with the cursed flesh to return to dust.
† Adam was not cursed, but the earth was cursed.[477] The curse of the earth means that the 1st Adam lost his limited temporary vicarious management proxy over the earth to Satan. (It may be argued that Adam was not deprived of the temporary proxy entrusted to him by Satan, but rather by sin. If this is the case, then Satan has no authority over all the nations of the earth. It is the view that 'sin'[478] reigns not 'Satan'.[479]) Therefore, Satan is described as the one who destroys the earth.[480] It means that the earth has come under the control of Satan, so there is no rest. As the earth falls under Satan's control, Satan exerts authority over all the earth, that is, the dust of all the kingdoms[481], and in the land where Satan rules, all kinds of iniquity and evil deeds that break the commandments of love are prevalent.
† Adam's body made of dust also fell under the influence of Satan, and the desires for sin continued to rise from the dust.[482] (Some might be of the view that Satan does not control the earthen body, but that Satan only uses the curse that the earthen body has received.[483]) All things made of earth have been deviated from the commandments of love and have come to subject to the law of oppression by coercion killing each other.[484] It is not only the human body that is made of earth. All the beasts were made of earth.[485] Therefore, all beasts were forced to obey the law of the jungle which the strong kill and the weak are killed, just as Satan intended.[486] All creatures made of earth will live in the law of the jungle which has nothing to do with the commandments of love, and will all decay and eventually return to earth. Everything in Hades made of earth is therefore suffering and groaning under the oppression of Satan.[487] But when the children of God are revealed[488], the other creatures will also be set free from their bondage to decay.[489] Therefore, in the 1000-year kingdom, it is expected that other creatures made of earth will also not return to earth.
† The Son the Last Adam, overcame Satan, made Satan His slave[490], and restored the management proxy to the earth[491] that the 1st Adam had been taken away by Satan(another view, had been lost by sin), from Satan.[492] Because God the Holy Spirit comes in the name of the Son to those who are in the Son, so those who received God the Holy Spirit can claim the management proxy to the earth again[493] in God the Holy Spirit.[494] We can overcome sin[495], and we can end the suffering of our lives.[496] But ultimately when the LORD Jesus comes again, He will fully restore the earth.[497] The land to be restored after the end of Satan's oppression is the 1000-year kingdom, the paradise. In paradise the wolf and the lamb will feed together.[498] In the Son, our body is freed from the curse.[499] Those who have been resurrected or transformed are clothed with a new body that does not decay[500], that is, does not return to dust.[501]
† The scene in which the Lamb breaks the seals of the book, is the Lamb regains the land that the 1st Adam had been taken away by Satan.(another view, had lost by sin).[502] The book or scroll sealed with 7 seals, I think, symbolizes the land-book, the title-deed, to the land that entrusted to the 1st Adam.[503] Because the Last Adam overcame sin and Satan[504], and brought back the land where Satan had ruled illegally[505] by making 1st Adam his slave[506], and He delivered the saints from the judgment of sin by paying the price for their sins to His Father with His own blood[507], so the saints who are freed from their sins in the Last Adam, regained the management proxy to the lost land in the Last Adam. The Son who is the Last Adam, is the redeemer of the 1st Adam.[508] The Son overcame sin and Satan, and regained the management proxy over the land that the 1st Adam had been taken away by Satan.(another view, had lost by sin) Since the Son overcame sin and Satan and redeemed the vicarious management proxy over the earth that had been entrusted to Adam, from Satan(another view, from sin), the Son breaks the seals confirming His right to the redeemed earth and restores the earth that had been trampled upon by Satan.[509] The Son will imprison Satan who oppresses the earth with sin, in the abyss and will restore the land into the 1000-year kingdom to be ruled by righteousness. Because the LORD Jesus will judge and burn the 1st earth[510], it seems more accurate to mean that He will burn the 1st earth and create a new one, rather than replacing the 1st earth with a new one.[511] Sinners will not be able to enter the land that the Son has redeemed from sin, because in the process of redemption of the land the Son will judge the sinners who have stained it with sin.[512]
† If the Son does not break the seals, will the Son not rule over the land that He had entrusted to Adam? Of course not. The creation world is basically the property of the Son who inherited the creation world.[513] In other words, the Son already owns every land in the creation world.[514] Therefore, the Son can rule the earth at any time. That is to say, the Son can at any time kill all creatures who do not obey Him. The reason why the Son breaks the seals is that the seals are the process of redeeming Adam's lost inheritance. Namely, the Son breaks the seals in the capacity of Adam. If the Son judges the earth not as Adam but as the Heir, then Adam would not be able to regain vicarious management proxy over the earth. The Owner who owns the creation world exercises His rights[515], how dare creatures interfere with the Owner's reign. Only the Last Adam, a relative of Adam, can restore Adam's inheritance.[516]
† Above all, in the process of the Son breaking the seals, the appointed number of martyr witnesses becomes completed. In other words, the love and justice of God the Creator is finally proved.[517] That is to say, the free will of creatures is perfected. In conclusion, creation is completed. When the possibleness of observance of the commandments is finally proved through the resurrection or the transformation of the martyr witnesses who kept the commandments and overcame death[518], the creatures that could have doubted about God's love and justice, will no longer be able to misunderstand God.[519] Creatures who have fully realized God's love and justice will begin to love God the Creator without hesitation, and they will never sin again.[520] The pain caused by sin in the creation world will be completely annihilated.[521] That is why the atonement takes place in the process of breaking the seals.[522] The Son who had triumphed on the cross as Adam, breaks the seals as Adam and completes creation through Adam, the martyr witnesses who follow the Son and take their cross. Whether the LORD Jesus Himself works as Adam or commands Adam to prove the truthfulness of the commandments, He works through Adam to the end of the completion of creation.
† When the Lamb breaks the seals, judgment is made on the sinners who have illegally held the earth, the earth is cleansed, and Adam is perfected as a creature worthy to rule again. Even if the LORD Jesus, as Adam's relative, breaks the seals on Adam's behalf and restores the earth, if Adam is still in sin and still enslaved to Satan, then Adam still cannot rule the earth. It is important for the Last Adam to restore the inheritance that Adam lost, but it is also important for Adam not to lose the restored inheritance again. If Adam cannot be freed from sin, or if Adam returns to sin, Adam will only lose the inheritance that the Last Adam had restored for him. If Adam cannot overcome sin, Adam will not be able to overcome death either, and therefore Adam will not be able to be resurrected or transformed. If Adam cannot be resurrected or transformed, Adam will not be able to rule the earth again, nor will he prove the truthfulness of the commandments. If the truthfulness of the commandments cannot be proved through Adam, Satan fraudswarms who is oppressing the earth illegally, will escape judgment. This is because the commandments were not established as the basis of judgment. If so, the earth will still be under the oppression of violence, Adam will not rule it again, and the free will of creatures will not be perfected.
† The Last Adam who is the Word, showed Adam the example of overcoming sin through God the Holy Spirit[523] and atoned for Adam's sin with His own blood. Adam who was reborn through the word of God in the Last Adam[524], follows the Last Adam through God the Holy Spirit and overcomes sin just like the Last Adam.[525] Adam is perfected as the one who can reign over the inheritance restored by the Last Adam. When the appointed number of martyr witnesses[526], the adoptees[527], the sons of Abraham[528], the firstfruits[529], the bride[530] who will reign over the inheritance restored by the Last Adam, is resurrected or transformed, the truthfulness of the commandments is finally proved and the act of breaking the commandments is confirmed as sin.[531] The judgment will be executed on the sinners who oppress the earth with violence.[532] When the Last Adam judges the sinners, the earth is restored[533] and Adam reigns over the earth again under the Last Adam.[534] The Last Adam, as Adam's relative, atones for Adam from sin and proves the basis for judging the transgression through Adam. The Last Adam, as Adam's relative, atones for the land polluted by sin and entrusts it to Adam again who is cleansed with His blood. In the process of atoning Adam and recovering the inheritance of Adam, the free will of creatures is perfected and creation is completed. Through judgment, sin is forever annihilated in space-time.[535]
† God judges the angels who were created strongly, through Adam who clothed with a body that was about to break.[536] In the garden of Eden, it was as if Adam had been defeated by Satan, but in the final result, Adam was victorious.[537] God the Creator Himself became Adam, set an example for Adam[538], and judges Satan through the 1st Adam who follows the example of the Last Adam. Therefore, the Son breaks the seals not as the Owner who inherited the creation world but as Adam who overcomes sin and Satan. The Last Adam who opens the seals, allows the 1st Adam, the bride of the Lamb, to overcome sin and Satan again. As the bride overcame sin and Satan and the bride regained the lost land, the bride reigns over the land again.[539] The 1st Adam, as the victor, who was reborn in the Last Adam, rules the 1000-year kingdom under the Last Adam who made him victorious. The Last Adam judges sin and Satan through His church, His bride born from His side[540], and rules the 1000-year kingdom with the 1st Adam who was perfected as a bride.[541] Since God has determined to complete creation[542] through Adam[543], the only being who can break the seals for the completion of the creation world, is the one who overcame sin and Satan among Adam. He is the Lamb, the LORD Jesus.
† The Son is the Last Adam who can redeem the inheritance of the 1st Adam.[544] Jeremiah buys the land of Israel which is soon to be destroyed, the land of his cousin, and redeems the inheritance of his cousin.[545] In the same way, the Last Adam redeems the inheritance of the 1st Adam. The Last Adam restores the management proxy over the land in Hades, the land handed over to sin and ruled by Satan, for Adam. Jeremiah bought the land and kept the deed of purchase in a clay jar as proof.[546] As the Son buys the 1st Adam with His blood and restores his vicarious management proxy, the oppression of lawlessness in the land that was controlled by Satan, ceases. The land Jeremiah bought lost its meaning because Israel was soon destroyed by Babylon. However, Jeremiah bought the land by faith and obeyed the will of God to foreshadow the destruction of Babylon and the restoration of the land of Israel. The Son will judge Babylon Satan fraudswarms and restore the land occupied by Satan to the 1000-year kingdom. The Son will judge the 1st heaven and the 1st earth polluted by Satan, and create a new heaven and a new earth[547], the realm of righteousness governed by the commandments.
† Since the 1st Adam became a slave of sin, the limited temporary vicarious management proxy over the land that God had entrusted to Adam, passed to Satan.(another view, to sin) In order to restore the management proxy that the 1st Adam was deprived of, God has to set the 1st Adam free from sin. Although the management proxy is absorbed by the Son when the Son comes, the Son did not claim His sovereignty when He first came to the earth.[548] Even after the Son was victorious on the cross and condemned sin, He withheld the execution of judgment on sinners under sin, giving the 1st Adam who was reborn in the Last Adam, an opportunity to receive salvation.[549] As the Son restored the management proxy that the 1st Adam had lost because of his sin, the 1st Adam was able to make Satan as a footstool in the victorious Last Adam. Therefore, in God the Holy Spirit, the 1st Adam can claim the management proxy over the earth against Satan.[550]
† The restoration of the management proxy is equally applicable not only in the realm of life, but also in the body in which the desires from sin arise. Before God the Holy Spirit dwells in our flesh, it was impossible for us to keep the law due to the rising desires of sin, so the law had no choice but to become the law of death that confirms our death.[551] However, since God the Holy Spirit dwells in our flesh and gives us the power to keep the law, the law has become the law of life that confirms our salvation.[552] Now we can resist Satan's evil oppression over the earth. (This means that Satan only uses the curse of the earth, not that he directly causes the curse of the earth. As there may be conflicting views as to who produces thorns and thistles from the cursed earth, I do not discuss them here.) The Son will come again to claim His rightful title[553] and judge those who do not obey Him.[554] Those who disobey the Son in the creation world will be imprisoned in the abyss.[555] And to the 1st Adam who prepared the way for the Son to return for restoring the earth and completing creation, as a reward, each of them will be entrusted with their fief in the King, the Bridegroom.[556] These are the royal priests, the bride.[557]
† It is not only the body that belongs to the earth. Blood also belongs to the earth. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.[558] The equivalent of blood is the soul. (There may be other arguments for this.) The soul also belongs to the earth. The soul of the body is in the blood.[559] It is described that the cursed flesh with the sinful desires, as the soulish body.[560] I don't know if the meaning of the soul in the blood, is biological or more, but what is certain is that unless the soul is controlled by the Spirit, the body will live as it wants.[561] The sinful desires of the flesh do not seem to be the soul itself. This is because when the soul is taken over by the spirit, it will respond according to the will of God.[562] It is expressed that the blood cries because the soul is in the blood[563], and it is also expressed that the soul cries.[564] In order for the soul in the blood to inherit the kingdom of God[565], it must be reborn through the Spirit and put into a spiritual body. (I don't know if it will still be a 'soul' after being in a spiritual body.) When the soul is reborn through the Spirit[566], the word of God[567], and receives a spiritual body, the resurrected or transformed body[568], the soul can inherit the 1000-year kingdom[569] which is the reality of the kingdom of God partially revealed through God the Holy Spirit.
Heb.9:28 so Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.]
† When the Son comes again as the Judge, He will save only those who overcome sin[570] through God the Holy Spirit.[571]
1John2:12 I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

[26] Heb.2:16 For most assuredly, not to angels does he give help, but he gives help to the seed of Abraham.
[27] Gal.3:29 If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to promise.
[28] Gen.15:7 He said to him, "I am Yahweh who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it."
Heb.11:15 If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return. But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
[29] Rom.8:16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;
[30] 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.
[31] 1Cor.15:44 It is sown a natural(psookheekos:soulish) body; it is raised a spiritual(pnyoomatikos) body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.
[32] Heb.1:14 Aren't they all ministering spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
[33] Gen.18:8 He took butter, milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them. He stood by them under the tree, and they ate.
[34] John20:19 When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, "Peace be to you."
Acts12:6 The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of the door kept the prison. Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side, and woke him up, saying, "Stand up quickly!" His chains fell off from his hands.
[35] Rev.21:17 He measured its wall and it was 144 cubits thick, by man's measurement, which the angel was using.
[36] Luke24:4 It happened, while they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing.
[37] Luke24:41 While they still didn't believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, "Do you have anything here to eat?" They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb. He took it, and ate in front of them.
[38] 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;
[39] Rom.8:13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
[40] 1Tim.4:1 But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
[41] Acts14:22 confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into the Kingdom of God.
[42] John5:29 and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
[43] 1Thess.4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so those who have fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
[44] Rom.1:17 For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous shall live by faith."
[45] 1Pet.1:9 receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
[46] 2Tim.4:7 I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith. From now on, there is stored up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
[47] Matt.19:27 Then Peter answered, "Behold, we have left everything, and followed you. What then will we have?" Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.
[48] Heb.11:35 Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
[49] 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.
[50] Rev.20:6 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.
[51] Rom.8:17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.
[52] 1Cor.15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.
[53] Lev.23:10 Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you are come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap the harvest of it, then you shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest: and he shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh, to be accepted for you: on the next day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.
[54] John19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished." He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit. Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation, so that the bodies wouldn't remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
[55] Matt.28:1 Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
[56] Gen.1:31 God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
[57] Ex.12:5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats: and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at evening.
[58] John18:28 They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn't enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
[59] Lev.23:5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, is Yahweh's Passover. On the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to Yahweh: seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.
[60] Lev.23:10 Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you are come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap the harvest of it, then you shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest: and he shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh, to be accepted for you: on the next day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.
[61] John20:1 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was yet dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb.
[62] John19:42 Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
[63] Luke22:12 He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there." They went, found things as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover. When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles. He said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,
[64] Ex.12:6 and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at evening.
[65] John13:1 Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that his time had come that he would depart out of this world to his Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. After supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and was going to God,
[66] Heb.4:15 For we don't have a high priest who can't be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
[67] Matt.10:38 He who doesn't take his cross and follow after me, isn't worthy of me. He who finds his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
[68] 2Cor.5:15 He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
[69] Rom.14:7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live or die, we are the Lord's.
[70] John3:5 Jesus answered, "Most assuredly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can't enter into the Kingdom of God! That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Don't marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born anew.'
[71] 1John3:4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
[72] 1Cor.9:21 to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law.
[73] 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," that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
[74] Rom.6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
[75] 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.
[76] Gen.3:19 By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
[77] 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.
[78] Rom.7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruit to death. But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
[79] Gal.5:4 You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace. For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.
[80] John6:56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him. 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.
[81] 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?”
[82] 1Cor.15:35 But someone will say, "How are the dead raised?" and, "With what kind of body do they come?" You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies. That which you sow, you don't sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind. But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
[83] Luke20:35 But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. For neither can they die any more, for they are like the angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
[84] Gen.3:19 By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
[85] 1Cor.15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.
[86] Gal.5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one other, that you may not do the things that you desire. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
[87] 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.
[88] Rev.16:5 I heard the angel of the waters saying, "You are righteous, who are and who were, you Holy One, because you judged this way. For they poured out the blood of the saints and the prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. They deserve this." I heard the altar saying, "Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments."
[89] Eph.4:30 Don't grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
[90] 1Thess.4:16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God's trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first, 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.
[91] Rom.7:18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing that which is good. For the good which I desire, I don't do; but the evil which I don't desire, that I practice. But if what I don't desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
[92] Gen.4:7 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."
[93] Rom.7:23 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?
[94] 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.
[95] Matt.5:43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.' 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,
[96] Rom.8:3 For what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh; that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
[97] Rom.7:8 But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead. I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;
[98] Heb.9:18 Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated without blood. For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
[99] Luke22:20 He took the cup in like manner after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, that which is poured out for you.
[100] Jer.31:33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says Yahweh: I will put my law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:
[101] Matt.5:43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.' 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,
[102] Gal.5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one other, that you may not do the things that you desire. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
[103] Rom.13:10 Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
[104] Song8:6 Set me as a seal on your heart, As a seal on your arm; For love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol; Its flashes are flashes of fire, A very flame of Yahweh. Many waters can't quench love, Neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, He would be utterly scorned. Friends
[105] 1Cor.12:31 But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.
1Cor.13:1 If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don't have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don't have love, I am nothing. If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don't have love, it profits me nothing.
[106] John13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another.
[107] Rom.5:5 and hope doesn't disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
[108] Gal.5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
[109] Jer.35:15 I have sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return you now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and don't go after other gods to serve them, and you shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but you have not inclined your ear, nor listened to me.
[110] 1Thess.5:19 Don't quench the Spirit.
[111] Matt.7:22 Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy by your name, by your name cast out demons, and by your name do many mighty works?' Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'
[112] Gal.5:19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
[113] 1Pet.1:9 receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
[114] Rom.8:12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
[115] 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.
[116] 1Cor.12:3 Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God's Spirit says, "Jesus is accursed." No one can say, "Jesus is Lord," but by the Holy Spirit.
[117] Rom.1:28 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
[118] 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.
[119] 2Pet.2:20 For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state has become worse with them than the first. For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. But it has happened to them according to the true proverb, "The dog turns to his own vomit again," and "the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire."
[120] Ezek.18:31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, in which you have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die, house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies, says the Lord Yahweh: therefore turn yourselves, and live.
[121] Jer.8:5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
[122] Rom.13:10 Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
[123] Gal.2:16 yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through the faith of Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law. But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not!
[124] Matt.24:10 Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another. Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray. Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.
[125] Heb.3:13 but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called "today;" lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end:
[126] Heb.3:6 but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house; whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.
[127] Rev.20:7 And after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison, and he will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
[128] Ex.16:4 Then said Yahweh to Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from the sky for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.
[129] Deut.8:2 You shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.
[130] Deut.13:1 If there arise in the midst of you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he give you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spoke to you, saying, Let us go after other gods, which you have not known, and let us serve them; you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams: for Yahweh your God proves you, to know whether you love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
[131] 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.
[132] Luke15:11 He said, "A certain man had two sons. The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of your property.' He divided his livelihood to them.
[133] 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.
[134] 1Cor.10:4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ. However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. Neither be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."
[135] Rev.3:5 He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
[136] John5:29 and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
[137] Rom.8:17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.
[138] Luke19:15 "It happened when he had come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business. The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.' "He said to him, 'Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.'
[139] Deut.13:1 If there arise in the midst of you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he give you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spoke to you, saying, Let us go after other gods, which you have not known, and let us serve them; you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams: for Yahweh your God proves you, to know whether you love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
[140] 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?
[141] Gal.5:19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God. 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. Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.
[142] 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.
[143] 1Cor.6:9 Or don't you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortioners, will inherit the Kingdom of God.
[144] James1:12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.
[145] Matt.7:16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree brings forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. A good tree can't bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
[146] Gen.4:10 Yahweh said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries to me from the ground.
[147] 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.
[148] Matt.19:27 Then Peter answered, "Behold, we have left everything, and followed you. What then will we have?" Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.
[149] Rom.8:16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God; and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.
[150] 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.
[151] Rev.14:1 I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.
[152] Luke9:23 He said to all, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.
[153] Job1:8 Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil." Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing? Haven't you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face."
[154] 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.
[155] 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.
[156] Rev.14:3 They sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth. 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.
[157] 1Cor.15:35 But someone will say, "How are the dead raised?" and, "With what kind of body do they come?" You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.
[158] Heb.11:35 Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment. They were stoned. They were sawn apart. They were tempted. They were slain with the sword. They went around in sheepskins, in goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated
[159] 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.
[160] Rev.20:11 I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them. I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works. 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.
[161] 2Cor.5:4 For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.
[162] Deut.8:2 You shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.
[163] John15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.
[164] 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.
[165] Dan.3:17 If it be [so], our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up.
[166] Luke14:26 "If anyone comes to me, and doesn't hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can't be my disciple. Whoever doesn't bear his own cross, and come after me, can't be my disciple.
[167] Eph.2:8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast.
[168] 1Kin.8:39 then hear in heaven, your dwelling-place, and forgive, and do, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know; (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of men;)
[169] 1Cor.2:11 For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God's Spirit.
[170] 2Cor.5:10 For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
[171] Rev.16:5 I heard the angel of the waters saying, "You are righteous, who are and who were, you Holy One, because you judged this way. For they poured out the blood of the saints and the prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. They deserve this."
[172] 1Cor.4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.
[173] Titus1:16 They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
[174] Luke6:43 For there is no good tree that brings forth rotten fruit; nor again a rotten tree that brings forth good fruit. For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people don't gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.
[175] Job31:13 "If I have despised the cause of my man-servant Or of my maid-servant, When they contended with me; What then shall I do when God rises up? When he visits, what shall I answer him? Didn't he who made me in the womb make him? Didn't one fashion us in the womb? "If I have withheld the poor from their desire, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail, Or have eaten my morsel alone, And the fatherless has not eaten of it (No, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, Her have I guided from my mother's womb); If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering; If his heart hasn't blessed me, If he hasn't been warmed with my sheep's fleece; If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, Because I saw my help in the gate: Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder-blade, And my arm be broken from the bone. For calamity from God is a terror to me, By reason of his majesty I can do nothing.
[176] James2:15 And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food, and one of you tells them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled;" and yet you didn't give them the things the body needs, what good is it? Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself. Yes, a man will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith.
[177] Rom.8:4 in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit. Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace;
[178] 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.
[179] Gal.5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one other, that you may not do the things that you desire. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
[180] Matt.7:18 A good tree can't bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that doesn't grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire. Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.
[181] 1Thess.4:7 For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification. Therefore he who rejects doesn't reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.
[182] 1Tim.4:1 But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
[183] 1Tim.1:19 holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith;
[184] 1Pet.1:9 receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
[185] 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," that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
[186] Heb.10:19 Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
[187] Rev.2:11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes won't be harmed by the second death.
[188] 1John4:9 By this was God's love revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
[189] 1Cor.15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.
[190] 1Thess.3:4 For most assuredly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know. For this cause I also, when I couldn't stand it any longer, sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor would have been in vain.
[191] 1Pet.1:17 If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man's work, pass the time of your living as strangers here in reverent fear:
[192] Titus1:16 They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.
[193] 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. For what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh; that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
[194] John5:28 Don't marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice, and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
[195] Eph.4:30 Don't grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
[196] Ezek.9:3 The glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer's inkhorn by his side. Yahweh said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst of it.
[197] Rom.8:3 For what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh; that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;
[198] 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,"
[199] Matt.12:28 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come on you.
[200] John5:14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you."
[201] Rom.8:13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.
[202] 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.
[203] Luke20:35 But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. For neither can they die any more, for they are like the angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
[204] Gal.4:19 My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you--
[205] 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."
[206] Luke20:13 The lord of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.'
John5:23 that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him.
[207] Rom.8:29 For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
[208] 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.
[209] 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.
[210] 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.
[211] 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.
[212] Rom.6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
[213] 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.
[214] John1:33 I didn't recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whoever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.' I have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God."
Luke4:1 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness
[215] John3:5 Jesus answered, "Most assuredly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can't enter into the Kingdom of God!
[216] 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.
[217] 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."
[218] 1John5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
[219] Luke19:20 Another came, saying, 'Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief, for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn't lay down, and reap that which you didn't sow.' "He said to him, 'Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn't lay down, and reaping that which I didn't sow.
[220] Deut.5:11 "You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain: for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
[221] Gen.3:4 The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die, for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
[222] 1John1:10 If we say that we haven't sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
[223] Acts2:24 whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
[224] Heb.4:15 For we don't have a high priest who can't be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
[225] 1Cor.9:21 to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law.
[226] Rom.13:10 Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
John13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another.
[227] 1Pet.1:23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.
[228] John3:5 Jesus answered, "Most assuredly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can't enter into the Kingdom of God!
[229] 1John5:18 We know that whoever is born of God doesn't sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn't touch him.

[231] 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.
[232] Mal.3:5 I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against the perjurers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and who deprive the foreigner of justice, and don't fear me," says Yahweh of Hosts.
[233] Is.24:21 It shall happen in that day, that Yahweh will punish the host of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth. They shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison; and after many days shall they be visited.
[234] 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.
[235] Rev.12:10 I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now is come the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night. 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.
[236] 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."
[237] Rom.6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
[238] 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.
[239] 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?
[240] Gal.5:19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
[241] Gal.5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one other, that you may not do the things that you desire. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
[242] Rom.7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn't have known sin, except through the law. For I wouldn't have known coveting, unless the law had said, "You shall not covet."
[243] Matt.5:43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.' 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,
[244] 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, and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For most assuredly, not to angels does he give help, but he gives help to the seed of Abraham.
[245] 1Cor.10:13 No temptation has taken you but such as man can bear. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
[246] 2Cor.5:21 For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
[247] Heb.5:7 He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,
[248] Phil.2:7 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.
[249] Luke6:12 It happened in these days, that he went out into the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.
[250] 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;
[251] 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." God created man in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them.
[252] 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.
[253] 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;
[254] Matt.1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this; because when his mother, Mary, had been engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
[255] 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;
[256] Gal.5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one other, that you may not do the things that you desire. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
[257] 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.
[258] Rom.5:5 and hope doesn't disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a righteous person someone would even dare to die. But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
[259] 1John4:19 We love Him, because he first loved us.
John14:15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
[260] 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.

[375] 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.
[376] Rom.8:19 For the creation waits with eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.
[377] Col.1:24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the assembly;
[378] Acts14:3 Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands. But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews, and part with the apostles. When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to insult them and to stone them,
[379] Acts7:55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, and said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God!" But they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed at him with one accord. They threw him out of the city, and stoned him. The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul. They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, "Lord Jesus, receive my Spirit!" He kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, "Lord, don't hold this sin against them!" When he had said this, he fell asleep.
[380] 1Cor.15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was bestowed on me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
[381] Acts5:5 Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.

[384] Heb.9:22 According to the law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission. It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 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;
[385] John19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished." He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.
Luke23:46 Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" Having said this, he breathed his last.
[386] 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.
[387] 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.
[388] 1John2:1 My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.
[389] Heb.4:15 For we don't have a high priest who can't be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.
[390] Heb.10:19 Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
[391] Luke17:20 Being asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, he answered them, "The Kingdom of God doesn't come with observation; neither will they say, 'Look, here!' or, 'Look, there!' for behold, the Kingdom of God is within you."
[392] 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, in the midst of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
[393] Rev.21:22 I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple. The city has no need for the sun, neither of the moon, to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb. The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
[394] Mark15:37 Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit. The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.
[395] 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.
[396] 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.
[397] 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."
[398] 1Pet.1:12 To them it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into. Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ --
[399] Lev.16:16 and he shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins; and so he shall do for the Tent of Meeting, that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleanness. There shall be no one in the Tent of Meeting when he enters to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel.
[400] Rev.15:8 The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power. No one was able to enter into the temple, until the seven plagues of the seven angels would be finished.

[403] Acts2:33 Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this, which you now see and hear.
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.
[404] Heb.3:4 For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.
[405] 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.
[406] Ezek.18:31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, in which you have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die, house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies, says the Lord Yahweh: therefore turn yourselves, and live.
[407] Eph.4:18 being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their hearts;
[408] Acts17:27 that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. 'For in him we live, and move, and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also his offspring.'
[409] 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;
[410] 2Pet.3:9 The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
[411] 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."
[412] Eph.1:4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without blemish before him in love;
1Pet.1:20 who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed at the end of times for your sake,
[413] 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?"

[415] 1Cor.10:11 Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come. Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn't fall.
[416] 2Cor.5:10 For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
[417] Rom.9:20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?" Or hasn't the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
[418] 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."
[419] Ezek.33:24 Son of man, they who inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance. Therefore tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood: and shall you possess the land? You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and you defile everyone his neighbor's wife: and shall you possess the land?
[420] Matt.4:15 "The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, Toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, 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."
[421] Rom.3:20 Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
[422] Gen.2:21 Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. He made the rib, which Yahweh God had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her to the man. The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."
[423] Rom.7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin. For I don't know what I am doing. For I don't practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do. But if what I don't desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good. So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
[424] Rom.3:19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.
[425] Gal.3:24 So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
[426] Luke15:18 I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants."'
[427] Luke22:42 saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done." An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him. Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
[428] 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.
[429] 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.
[430] Luke14:26 "If anyone comes to me, and doesn't hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can't be my disciple. Whoever doesn't bear his own cross, and come after me, can't be my disciple.
[431] Gal.4:19 My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you--
[432] John15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.
[433] 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;
[434] Rom.8:17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us. For the creation waits with eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.
[435] Eph.2:8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast.
[436] Deut.5:6 "I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
[437] 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. 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.
[438] Eph.2:5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
[439] Rom.14:17 for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
[440] Gen.1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep. God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.
[441] 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.
[442] Rom.6:17 But thanks be to God, that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto you were delivered. Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.
[443] 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.
[444] 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.
[445] Ex.34:7 keeping lovingkindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and disobedience and sin; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the children's children, on the third and on the fourth generation."
[446] 1John3:1 Behold, how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn't know us, because it didn't know him.
[447] 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."
[448] 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.
[449] 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.
[450] Luke20:13 The lord of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.' "But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.' They threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
[451] Gen.3:19 By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
[452] 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;
[453] John11:12 The disciples therefore said, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover." Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
[454] 1Tim.5:6 But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
[455] Rom.8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.
[456] Gen.2:25 They were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Rev.3:17 Because you say, 'I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing;' and don't know that you are the wretched one, miserable, poor, blind, and naked; I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.
[457] Gen.4:1 The man knew Eve his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, "I have gotten a man with Yahweh's help."

[461] 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."
Rom.2:13 For it isn't the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified (for when Gentiles who don't have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves, in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them)

[464] Luke12:48 but he who didn't know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whoever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom they deposit much, of him will they ask more.
Heb.6:4 For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and put him to open shame.
[465] Gen.26:5 because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."
Gen.6:9 This is the history of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.
Gen.9:6 Whoever sheds man's blood, by man will his blood be shed, for in the image of God made he man.
Job33:14 For God speaks once, Yes twice, though man pays no attention. In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falls on men, In slumbering on the bed; Then he opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction, That he may withdraw man from his purpose, And hide pride from man.
Gen.20:3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, "Behold, you are a dead man, because of the woman whom you have taken. For she is a man's wife."

In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands have I done this." God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I didn't allow you to touch her.
[466] Luke4:5 The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. The devil said to him, "I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want.
[467] 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. You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh. He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses; having wiped out the handwriting in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross; having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Eph.2:4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus;
[468] 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."
[469] 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. By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
[470] Heb.4:15 For we don't have a high priest who can't be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
[471] John8:57 The Jews therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?" Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM."
[472] John8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad." The Jews therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?"
[473] 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;
[474] Gal.5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one other, that you may not do the things that you desire. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,
[475] 1Cor.15:21 For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ's, at his coming. 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.
[476] 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?
[477] 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.
[478] Rom.6:12 Therefore don't let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
[479] 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,

I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people; and there shall be heard in her no more the voice of weeping and the voice of crying. There shall be no more there an infant of days, nor an old man who has not filled his days; for the child shall die one hundred years old, and the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed. They shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree shall be the days of my people, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for calamity; for they are the seed of the blessed of Yahweh, and their offspring with them. It shall happen that, before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. 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.
[535] 1Cor.15:25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death. For, "He put all things in subjection under his feet." But when he says, "All things are put in subjection," it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him. 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.

[537] Song8:6 Set me as a seal on your heart, As a seal on your arm; For love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol; Its flashes are flashes of fire, A very flame of Yahweh. Many waters can't quench love, Neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, He would be utterly scorned. Friends

[540] Gen.2:21 Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. He made the rib, which Yahweh God had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her to the man. The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.
[541] 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.

[544] Lev.25:23 The land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for the land is mine: for you are strangers and sojourners with me. In all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land.

If a man have no one to redeem it, and he be grew rich and find sufficient to redeem it;
[545] Jer.32:8 So Hanamel my uncle's son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of Yahweh, and said to me, Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself. Then I knew that this was the word of Yahweh. I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel my uncle's son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.
[546] Jer.32:14 Thus says Yahweh of Hosts, the God of Israel: Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel; that they may continue many days.
