① 6 He proves the possibleness of the observance of the commandments.
God commands creatures to keep the commandments of love.[1] The commandments of love are sufficient for creatures to keep, provided that they do not reject the grace of God.[2] God created creatures to be able to receive God's grace.[3] If creatures accept God's grace, they will keep the commandments of love.[4] Since God would command creatures to keep the commandments of love, before He began creation, He first predetermined to create them to be able to receive His grace.[5]
God is upholding space-time as a structure that allows creatures to sin if they want to sin.[6] If creatures reject God's grace, creatures can sin enough.[7] God is upholding space-time as a structure that allows creatures to keep the commandments if they want to keep them.[8] If creatures accept God's grace, they can keep the commandments sufficiently.[9]
Satan wants to usurp the throne of God.[10] Instead of God, Satan wants to rule space-time himself.[11] Satan attacks God's way of ruling. Satan attacks the commandments of love.[12] Satan claims that God has commanded creatures to keep commandments that they cannot keep.[13] Satan claims that if God judges based on the commandments, all creatures will eventually die.[14] Because, according to Satan, creatures cannot keep the commandments.[15]
Satan claims that the commandments must be abolished. Satan claims that the judgment by the commandments must be stopped. If Satan is credited with correcting God's wrongs, Satan will be able to exert more powerful influence in space-time. If creatures think that God has wrongly ruled space-time, creatures will take God's commands lightly. Then creatures would be cut off from the life of God, and die. Nevertheless, if God continues to uphold creatures, creatures will oppress and kill each other.
Before God created Helel, God already knew that Helel would try to usurp God's throne.[16] God first predetermined to prove the truthfulness of the commandments in space-time, and then He began to create.[17] By attacking the commandments, Satan tries to make creatures misunderstand God's love and justice. The commandments of love are sufficient for creatures to keep, provided that they do not reject the grace of God.[18] But if the truthfulness of the commandments is not proved, creatures will misunderstand the love and justice of God who commands creatures to keep the commandments.[19] If creatures misunderstand God's love and justice, creatures will eventually die. If the truthfulness of the commandments is not proved to creatures, creatures will eventually die.
If God had not predetermined to prove the truthfulness of the commandments, creatures would eventually die. If God had predetermined to let creatures die, God would not be love. But God is love.[20] Before God began to create, God first predetermined to prove the truthfulness of the commandments, and then He began to create.[21] Before God began creation, He first predetermined the cross and then began creation.[22]
The Second Person in the Trinity becomes a human being and puts on the cursed flesh.[23] The Second Person in the Trinity overcomes all temptations of Satan even in the lust of flesh.[24] The Word perfectly keeps the commandments through God the Holy Spirit.[25] The Second Person in the Trinity proves that He has kept the commandments perfectly by His resurrection overcoming sin and death.[26]
The Second Person in the Trinity did not receive the forgiveness of sins, but was resurrected by His own righteousness.[27] The Second Person in the Trinity never sinned.[28] If we receive the forgiveness of our sins, receive the word of God, and receive God the Holy Spirit, we too can keep the commandments.[29] If we keep the commandments, we too can overcome sin and death and be resurrected or transformed.[30] When we are resurrected or transformed, the truthfulness of the commandments is finally proved.[31]
Because He loves the First Person in the Trinity, the Second Person in the Trinity obeyed the First Person in the Trinity to death.[32] When we love God, we too can obey God even to death.[33] When the appointed number of martyr witnesses are resurrected or transformed, the truthfulness of the commandments is fully proved.[34] When the appointed number of martyr witnesses come out to the 1st resurrection, the truthfulness of the commandments is fully proved.[35] With the 1st resurrection that takes place when the 7th trumpet is sounded, the truthfulness of the commandments is fully proved.[36] When the truthfulness of the commandments is fully proved, the commandments are established as the basis for judgment.[37] When the commandments are established as the basis for judgment, judgment is executed against deeds that break the commandments and trample on one's neighbors.[38]
God became a creature.[39] Since the LORD Jesus is God, all the commandments also apply to the LORD Jesus.[40] All creatures must honor the LORD Jesus.[41] Not only the First Person in the Trinity but also the Second Person in the Trinity, is God the Creator who commands creatures to keep the commandments.[42] Any creature that rebels against the LORD Jesus, will be thrown into the lake of fire.[43]
God confines Satan fraudswarms who have sinned, in Hades.[44] The Second Person in the Trinity comes to Hades to annihilate sin and death.[45] The truthfulness of the commandments is proved by the resurrection of the Second Person in the Trinity. The truthfulness of the commandments is fully proved by the resurrection or transformation of the appointed number of martyr witnesses.[46] The commandments are established as the basis for judgment. Judgment is executed against all criminals who break the commandments and trample on their neighbors.[47] Sin and death are annihilated in space-time.[48] In space-time, only creatures that love God and their neighbors, remain.[49]
The First Person in the Trinity and the Second Person in the Trinity are equal God the Creator.[50] Space-time belongs to the First Person in the Trinity and the Second Person in the Trinity.[51] The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to empty Himself, become a creature, and inherit space-time from the First Person in the Trinity.[52] The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to come as a human being.[53] In the darkness where Satan fraudswarms are confined, God creates Adam.[54] God makes Adam manage the earth. God makes Adam rule the earth with the commandments and keep it from sin.[55]
The lust of flesh rises from the cursed flesh.[56] We are wearing the cursed flesh.[57] If the Second Person in the Trinity had not put on the cursed flesh, He would not have been able to set an example for us to keep the commandments.[58] If the Second Person in the Trinity had not set us an example of keeping the commandments, we would not have known how to keep the commandments.[59]
We must keep the commandments even at the cost of our lives.[60] We must keep the commandments even with our hearts.[61] We can keep the commandments only with love.[62] We can keep the commandments only by grace.[63] We can keep the commandments by receiving the word of God, receiving God the Holy Spirit, and by obeying the word of God through God the Holy Spirit.[64] We cannot love our enemies in our own strength.[65] We cannot, on our own, realize how to love.[66] In our own strength, we cannot give up our lives to keep the commandments. The Second Person in the Trinity showed us how to keep the commandments. Now all we have to do is follow His steps.[67]
The Second Person in the Trinity commands us to keep the commandments. If the Second Person in the Trinity had not put on the lust of flesh, we who have the lust of flesh, would not have been able to know that the Second Person in the Trinity is the one who keeps the commandments even in the same state as we are.[68] If we did not know that the Second Person in the Trinity is the one who keeps the commandments even in the same state as us, we would not be able to trust the Second Person in the Trinity.[69] If we had not trusted the Second Person in the Trinity, we would not have been willing to obey the commands of the Second Person in the Trinity.[70]
God tells us this through the bible. Therefore, we can clearly understand this fact only through the bible.[71] All other graces are for clarifying the understanding of the bible.[72] Even though God Himself became a creature, He taught His disciples about God through the bible.[73] God says that even if space-time passes away, He will surely fulfill the bible.[74] God the Creator Himself becomes a creature and makes creatures realize the authority of the bible.[75]
A storm wraps around the flesh more coldly than the bible. A flame touches the flesh more hotly than the bible. An earthquake shakes the body more tremblingly than the bible.[76] A miracle startles the flesh more strongly than the bible.[77] A vision than the bible, a dream than the bible, a gift and miraculous phenomenon more than the bible thrill the body.[78] When these are used to focus on the bible, all these things are precious.[79] However, God judges based on the bible and commands angels according to the bible.[80]
We do not know why God submits us to Him through the bible and our faith in the bible.[81] We do not know why God, through the bible, makes us believe in the cross we have never seen with our own eyes.[82] God predetermined to complete creation according to the word recorded in the bible, and created space-time.[83] We do not know why God creates space-time with His word, upholds space-time with His word, and perfects space-time with His word.[84] God has willed to do so, so we just obey.[85] God conveys His word to us in book form.[86]
A. Lust leads us to sin.
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.
Gen.3:18 Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.
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.
James1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
James1:14 But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
James1:15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
1John2:15 Don't love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love isn't in him.
1John2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn't the Father's, but is the world's.
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.
After Adam sinned, the ground is cursed. The earthen flesh is cursed. Thorns and thistles come up from the ground. The lust of flesh rises from the earthen flesh.[87] The lust of flesh is an intense desire that stretches beyond the commandments.[88] The lust of flesh cannot be said to be sin. But the lust of flesh draws us into sin.[89]
The Second Person in the Trinity became an adam. The Second Person in the Trinity also put on the cursed flesh. The Second Person in the Trinity also put on the lust of flesh.[90] Even though the Second Person in the Trinity put on the lust of flesh, He kept the commandments through God the Holy Spirit.[91] The Second Person in the Trinity is the Word and the commandments themselves.[92] The Commandments became flesh.[93] The Commandments love the First Person in the Trinity.[94] Therefore, the Commandments were not drawn away by lust.[95]
Even though lust rises from the flesh, if free will does not embrace that lust, one is not drawn into sin. Even though lust rises from the flesh, if we obey the word through God the Holy Spirit, we are not drawn into sin. If we receive the word and receive God the Holy Spirit, we can overcome sin.[96]
Lust leads free will to sin. Therefore, when the free will embraces lust, the free will come to break the commandments. The cursed flesh amplifies this lust.[97] Therefore, if we embrace lust in the cursed flesh, we come to break the commandments more and more. Love drives out this lust.[98] If we embrace the love of God through God the Holy Spirit, we do not embrace lust. Because we do not embrace lust, we do not sin. When lust rises from the flesh, love drives it away. Love through God the Holy Spirit, makes us keep the commandments.[99]
God is the Lord of creatures.[100] When a creature tries to become its own lord, lust rises. When we want something other than what God has given us, lust rises.[101] When we want something other than love, lust rises. If we embrace lust, our eyes are covered.[102] When our eyes are covered, the goal we pursue, changes.[103] When our goal changes, the direction of our lives, changes.[104]
The word of God makes us realize God's love. God the Holy Spirit reminds us of the word of God.[105] When we cherish God's love, we do not embrace lust. If we do not embrace lust, our eyes are not covered. Since our eyes are not covered, we see what our Lord wants.[106] By seeing what God wants, we do what God wants.[107]
Without knowing God's love, we cannot love God.[108] If we do not love God, we cannot keep the commandments.[109] If we love God, we cannot sin.[110] God only allows temptaions that we can endure. God also makes the way of escape so that we can endure the temptation.[111] If we embrace lust, we do not try to stand against the temptation.[112] If we embrace lust, we do not try to escape from sinning.[113] Therefore, if we embrace lust, we cannot keep the commandments.[114]
God made Adam become a living soul.[115] Before he sinned, his body was not cursed. Adam had no lust of flesh. Adam was able to cope with Satan's deception without the lust of flesh. But Adam embraced lust. Adam loved Eve more than God.
Adam must have seen his wife who ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and probably was changed from before. God said that if he eats of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he will surely die. Adam must have seen his wife who was already dead, or was about to die. To Adam, Eve was an idol.[116] Adam chose to die with Eve rather than live without her. Adam ate the forbidden fruit to share death with Eve.[117] After all, Adam broke God's commandment. Adam who seemed righteous on the outside, embraced the sin of lusting Eve on the inside.[118]
If we embrace lust in our heart, we will not be able to overcome Satan's deceptions. If we embrace lust in our heart, we cannot keep the commandments. If we embrace lust in our heart, we cannot live according to God's will. Eve was in Adam's heart. Therefore, Adam could not overcome Satan's deception. Because of Eve who is his lust, Adam sinned. However, Adam did not know that Eve was his lust. (!No misunderstanding!: There should be[119] deep[120] affections[121] and intense sexual desires[122] between husband and wife.[123] I am saying here of a will that goes against the purpose for which God created humans.[124])
If Adam had not been tempted by Satan, he would not have realized his lust. If Adam had not gone through the temptation of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Adam would not have realized his sin.[125] If Adam had not realized his sin, he would not have been able to forsake his sin.[126] If Adam had not forsaken his sin, at the time of judgment, Adam would have died.[127] Through the law, Adam came to realize what his own lust was.[128]
Because Adam embraced lust, he had no choice but to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The reason Adam couldn't give up his lust, was because he didn't know God's love. The only reason for creatures to forsake sin, is because of God's love.[129] The only means by which the free will of creatures can be perfected, is God's love.[130] If Adam had known God's love, he would have been able to reject the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil offered by the dead Eve. But Adam embraced lust, and even though Eve died, he couldn't forsake her.
God predetermined His cross and began to create.[131] God first predetermined to prove His love to creatures and began creation.[132] God's love is demonstrated through the cross.[133] Even if Adam had given up his lust and not eaten of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Adam's free will would not have been perfected. If Adam had not eaten the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, God would have predetermined to perfect the free will of creatures in other ways. If Adam had not fallen, God would have predetermined a different process than now to perfect the free will of creatures.
God only allows temptations that we can bear. If Adam had willed to overcome, he would not have rejected the grace of God. If Adam had not rejected the grace of God, he would certainly have been able to reject the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.[134] If Adam had willed to overcome, he would surely have been able to overcome Satan's deception.[135] At least Adam could have fled to God. If Adam had rejected the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Adam's free will could have been perfected without pain. If Adam had forsaken his lust, he would have been able to realize God's love without pain.[136]
If Adam would not have sinned, God might not have created him. God might have predetermined to perfect the free will of angels in some other way. It is because the redemption of the cross is to redeem adam who sinned. Or, God might have placed adam who would sin as the 1st Adam, not adam who would not sin. The time and place of each person's birth, was predetermined before the foundation of the world.[137] God has already prearranged the righteous and the wicked, according to His will.[138]
Adam and Eve symbolize the LORD Jesus and the church.[139] Adam who died because of Eve, symbolizes the LORD Jesus who died for the church.[140] Just as Adam loved Eve and died because of Eve, so the Second Person in the Trinity dies for the sins of the bride because He loves His bride.[141]
Creatures come to love God only when they realize God's love.[142] Adam comes to love God only when he realizes God's love. God's love is demonstrated through the cross. When Adam ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, God's love was not proved. Adam cannot first love God without seeing the love of the cross. Then, did God command Adam to keep the commandments that Adam could not keep? Did God command the saints of the old testament times to keep the commandments that they could not keep?
Certainly not. God is love and justice.[143] God does not command creatures to keep commandments they cannot keep. God would not have allowed Adam a temptation that Adam could not bear. Adam did not have even the lust of flesh. God did not reveal the true meaning of the law to the saints of the old testament times.[144] God did not emphasize to the saints of the old testament times that they should love even with their hearts.[145] God did not emphasize to the saints of the old testament times that they should lay down their lives for their brothers and sisters.[146] This is because it was before the time when God the Holy Spirit comes.[147]
Adam would not have known all of God's love at that time. This is because it was still before the cross was established in space-time. This is because Adam's free will was not yet perfected. However, God must have shown Adam enough love to overcome the temptation of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Adam would have been able to overcome the temptation of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil with the light he had already received. If Adam had overcome the temptation of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he could have avoided much suffering until his free will become perfected.
However, this may be an unreasonable assumption. God already knew that Adam would fall.[148] God had already predetermined the redemption of the cross before He began creation.[149] God first predetermined to use Adam's fall to complete creation and began to create.[150] Perhaps God placed a person who would fall, as the 1st Adam.[151] How God would have perfected the free will of creatures if Adam overcame the temptation of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, is something that creatures cannot know.
B. Only those who love God can keep the commandments.
1John4:19 We love Him, because he first loved us.
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.
1John4:11 Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
John14:15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
John14:21 One who has my commandments, and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him."
To those who want to know God's love, God lets them know God's love. Those who came to know God's love, love God. Those who love God, are loved by God.[152] To whom God loves, God manifests Himself.[153]
Rev.13:8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.
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;
Eph.1:5 having predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
Titus1:2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who can't lie, promised before eternal times;
Titus1:3 but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior;
Creatures can keep the commandments sufficiently, provided they do not reject the grace of God.[154] God had already predetermined the cross before He began creation. God had already predetermined the martyr witnesses before He began creation.[155] God had already foreknown who would make what choices even before He began creation. God had already predetermined before He began creation, when God would cause those who will be sons of God, to be born.[156]
[martyr witnesses = firstfruits = firstborns = adopted sons[157] = sons of God[158] = bride = those who will participate in the 1st resurrection[159]]
God only chooses those whom God foreknew. They do not become martyr witnesses because God forces them. To those who will be martyred, God gives grace and makes them come to be martyred. If we reject the grace of martyrdom, we cannot be martyred. God already knows who will not reject His grace. God chooses those who will not reject His grace. God causes them to be born at the time He has appointed. God gives them the grace of martyrdom. They do not reject the grace of martyrdom. They come to be martyred.
The purpose why God created adam, is to prove the truthfulness of the commandments through martyrdom of adam. God loved adam and died for adam. God wants adam to love God and die for God. God allows all those who want to be martyred, to be martyred.[160] But not everyone wants to be martyred. Everyone is allowed to be martyred, but not everyone wants to be martyred. God already knows who will want to be martyred.[161] And God chooses them. God causes the witnesses who will be martyred, to be born in the times God has appointed. As God foreknew, these do not refuse the grace of martyrdom. They are martyred.
God already knows who will accept grace and who will reject it. But creatures do not know. God reveals the choices of creatures so that they can understand Him. God gives each of creatures environments to choose. Creatures choose.[162] Neighbor creatures confirm each choices. According to the results of the choices made by creatures, God repays them. Creatures understand God's judgment and salvation.
Eternal life is to never die. Death comes because of sin.[163] Therefore, eternal life is to never sin. Eternal life is eternal submission to the rule of God.[164] Creation is completed only when sin is annihilated in space-time and creatures do not sin again.[165]
Before God began creation, He had already predetermined to complete it. Before God began creation, He had already predetermined to give creatures eternal life.[166] To be precise, God exists both before beginning of creation and after completing of creation. Time is just a creature too. Death as well as time is a creature, and life is a creature. God promised eternal life to the righteous creatures. God's word surely comes true.[167] The righteous creatures will live forever.
D. God predetermined to come as a creature and complete creation.
1Pet.1:19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, the blood of Christ;
1Pet.1:20 who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed at the end of times for your sake,
Matt.25:34 Then the King will tell those on his right hand, 'Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;
Rom.16:25 Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past,
1Cor.2:7 But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds to our glory,
2Tim.1:9 who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,
Rev.17:8 The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth will wonder, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they see that the beast was, and is not, and will pe present.
Ps.139:16 Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there were none of them.
Eph.3:9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ;
Eph.3:10 to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,
Eph.3:11 according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord;
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.
Titus1:2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who can't lie, promised before eternal times;
God predetermined to give creatures free will. God foreknew the fall of angels. God predetermined to create Adam. God foreknew the fall of Adam. Before God began creation, He predetermined to complete creation through the cross.
God predetermined to prove His love and justice through the cross.[168] God predetermined to prove the truthfulness of the commandments through the cross.[169] God predetermined to reveal the wickedness of sin through the cross.[170] God predetermined to come as an adam and bear the cross.[171] God predetermined to become a creature and inherit space-time through the cross.[172] God predetermined to annihilate sin in space-time through the cross.[173]
Did angels know God's predetermination before God created Adam? Did angels know that God would become a creature and bear the cross? Did Helel know God's predetermination before God created Adam? Did Helel know that God would become a creature and bear the cross? We thought about this earlier in [3.Creating the inheritance - ④God foreknew that angels would fall].
Did Helel know that God would become a creature and bear the cross? Satan who deceived Adam is cursed. Then God promises the Seed of a woman. If Satan had heard the promise of the Seed of a woman for the first time at this time, wouldn't he have not known it before? If God promised the Seed of a woman only after Adam's fall, wouldn't Helel have not known about the Seed of a woman before Adam's fall? Wouldn't Satan have not known that the Second Person in the Trinity would come as the Seed of a woman?[174] If Satan didn't know that the Second Person in the Trinity would come as the Seed of a woman, Satan would have even more not known that the Seed of a woman would hang on a tree.[175]
God created Adam. God entrusted the management of the earth to Adam.[176] Satan deceived Adam and made him a slave to sin.[177] Satan took control of Adam.[178] Now Satan manages the earth.[179] Yet the earth still belongs to God.[180] In order for God to save adam, God leaves Satan alone for a while.[181]
The Last Adam has come.[182] The true Owner who entrusted vicarious management proxy to Adam, became a creature and came as the Heir.[183] Now the Last Adam manages the earth.[184] God made adam manage the earth. If adam does not submit to Satan, adam still manages the earth.[185] The 1st Adam submits to Satan.[186] But the Last Adam does not submit to Satan.[187] Wherever the Last Adam goes, God's rule is fulfilled.[188]
The Last Adam overcomes all deceptions.[189] The Last Adam does not sin.[190] The Last Adam does not lose His authority over the earth. Satan made the 1st Adam a slave to sin, but he cannot make the Last Adam a slave to sin.[191] Satan took control of the 1st Adam, but he cannot control the Last Adam. 'I have deceived the 1st Adam and ruled the earth, but could I be losing the earth now?' Satan seems to have thought there was no other way.[192] Satan kills the Last Adam by nailing Him to the cross.[193]
Gen.3:14 Yahweh God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above every animal of the field. On your belly shall you go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.
Gen.3:15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel."
Gen.2:15 Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
Gen.2:16 Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat:
Gen.2:17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it: for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die."
Gen.3:4 The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die,
Gen.3:5 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."
Luke4:5 The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
Luke4:6 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.
Job2:6 Yahweh said to Satan, "Behold, he is in your hand. Only spare his life."
Job2:7 So Satan went forth from the presence of Yahweh, and struck Job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head.
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.
If God does not control all temptations, a creature may be subjected to temptations that it cannot bear.[194] It is possible for a creature to face a situation in which it is impossible to keep the commandments. Then God would not be able to command creatures to keep the commandments.[195] In order for God to command a creature to love, God must create a situation in which a creature can love sufficiently. Therefore, God controls all the temptations of creatures.
God controls all temptations.[196] The serpent was able to deceive Adam because God did not stop him. However, God curses the serpent. A few possibilities can be considered here.
① 'Do not deceive Adam. If you deceive Adam, you will be cursed.' God said, but the serpent deceived Adam.[197]
② God didn't say anything to the serpent. God didn't stop him[198], so the serpent deceived Adam arbitrarily.[199]
③ 'It is your freedom to deceive Adam, but if you deceive Adam, you will be cursed.' God said, but the serpent deceived Adam.[200]
④ 'Deceive Adam. And be cursed.' God commanded.[201]
In my opinion, it is probably a situation similar to when Satan crucified the LORD Jesus. In other words, the serpent is in a situation where God neither forbids nor directs. This is the same situation as ②. Satan arbitrarily killed the LORD Jesus.[202] The One who created Satan, has come as a creature. But Satan killed Him.
Regardless of whether the serpent was permitted to deceive Adam or whether it arbitrarily deceived Adam, Satan cannot do anything beyond God's control.[203] God only allows temptations that we can bear. Not even a sparrow can fall without God's permission.[204] God is the One who is upholding[205] not only the present and the future, but also death, space, and even one single particle.[206] There is nothing God does not know.[207] There is nothing that God cannot do.[208]
Basically, there is the commandment against murder in space-time.[209] Satan must not deceive and murder Adam.[210] God gave free will to creatures. That is why God does not burn a creature immediately in the lake of fire as soon as it sins.[211] God gives us chances to repent.[212] God will burn the criminals in the lake of fire at the last moment.[213] God will surely judge murder.[214]
Satan claims that the commandments cannot be kept by creatures. It seems that Satan misunderstood that if he deceived Adam into sin, he would be proved right. God has made Adam manage the earth. Not only the earth, but all of space-time belong only to God.[215] Satan seems to be trying to make Adam a slave to sin[216] and make the earth his domain.[217]
Given that God cursed Satan, it does not seem that God commanded Satan to deceive Adam. (There may be other views.) Anyway, God had already commanded Adam to keep Eden from Satan.[218] God foretold Adam in advance that Satan would attack him. Before Satan attacked Adam, God had commanded Adam to prepare in advance.
As the image of God, Adam had to have dominion over the beasts.[219] God had already given Adam the order to protect Eden. The temptation of the serpent would not have been a temptation that Adam could not bear. Adam was not properly prepared for Satan's attack. Adam also made mistakes. But Satan committed murder again.[220] Just because Adam was deceived and died because of his own fault, does not mean that the sin of Satan who deceived and murdered Adam, is gone.[221]
God respects the free will of creatures. God commands us not to murder. But God does not make murder itself impossible.[222] Satan who committed murder, cannot be innocent. Satan deserves to be cursed.
Satan was permitted by God to attack Job. When Satan attacks Adam or the LORD Jesus, he does not seem to have received God's direct permission. (There may be other views.) Regardless of whether Satan deceived with God's permission or not, God is the one who is upholding Satan to exist. Satan can never escape God's control.[223] Sin can also happen because God allows it.[224]
The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to come as the Last Adam. The sin of the 1st Adam opened the way for the Last Adam to come.[225] The bride of the 1st Adam made the 1st Adam die. The bride of the Last Adam will die for the Last Adam.[226] The church will die for the LORD Jesus.[227] The truthfulness of the commandments will be proved.[228] Sin will be judged. The bride will help the Last Adam complete creation.[229] The bride becomes the true helpmeet of the Last Adam.[230]
If Satan is able to escape God's control and deceive adam, adam may face a temptation that he/she cannot bear. If a creature could be tempted without God's permission, the creature would not be able to trust God. If a creature were overtaken by a temptation above what it was able to endure, it would not be able to keep the commandments. If God creates a situation in which it is impossible to keep the commandments, then the commandments would be impossible for creatures to keep. But that cannot happen.[231] It is God who is upholding space-time and all creatures in it, both in the present and in the future.[232]
If Adam had been tempted above what he is able to endure, his sin cannot be recognized as sin. If Adam did not sin, the ground should not be cursed. If Adam had not sinned, Satan could not have dominion over Adam.[233] However, Adam was not tempted above what he is able to endure. Adam sinned by his own choice.
God cursed Satan because he deceived Adam. Satan should not have deceived Adam. It seems that God did not command Satan to deceive Adam. But God did not stop Satan from deceiving Adam. If Satan's deception had become a temptation that Adam was not be able to endure, God would have stopped Satan. However, God rather warned Adam of Satan's attack.
Adam had been forewarned. Satan arbitrarily deceived Adam. God did not stop Satan's deception. Satan's deception was a temptation that Adam was sufficiently able to endure. Adam is defeated. Satan and the ground are cursed. The way for the Last Adam to come, has been opened. The 1st Adam lost his vicarious management proxy. Satan came to rule the earth.[234]
Strictly speaking, until a creature realizes God's love, it cannot keep the commandments even with its heart. In particular, since adam even wears the cursed flesh, he/she is even less able to keep the commandments with his/her heart.[235] We can keep the commandments only when we love God.[236] Such is the nature of free will.
When a creature realizes the love of God through the cross, it can come to keep the commandments even with its heart.[237] If a creature can keep the commandments with its heart even without knowing God's love, it would be able to live forever on its own strength. Since its free will would be perfect from the beginning, it could not even be a creature.
Does that mean that if a creature does not realize God's love, it would have no choice but to commit murder? It can't help but hate. However, it may not actually kill. God gave the state laws and conscience. People do not kill even though they do not obey the Second Person in the Trinity. If they obey the Second Person in the Trinity, they would be able to love even with their hearts.
Adam lost the right to manage that God had entrusted to Adam, because of his sin. Satan manages the earth by controlling Adam who has sinned.[238] However, whether it is the earth, the universe, or the heaven of angels, space-time always belongs only to God.[239] It is God who owns the earth, and it is God who rules it.[240] God entrusted the earth to Adam to manage it with the commandments of love.[241] God did not entrust the earth to Adam to trample it.
The Second Person in the Trinity became a creature in order to inherit space-time. Since God Himself came in person, space-time now belongs to the Second Person in the Trinity.[242] The earth, of course, belongs to the Second Person in the Trinity. The true Owner has come.[243] Whether Adam lost the right to manage the earth because of his sin or the right was taken away by Satan, is meaningless now. The earth belongs to God even if it is managed by Adam, and it belongs to God even if it is managed by Satan.[244]
Adam is also God's belongings, and Satan is also God's belongings. It is God who is upholding Adam, and it is God who is upholding Satan.[245] It is God's, and God rules.[246] It is inherited by the Second Person in the Trinity, the Second Person in the Triniry rules.[247] Whether it be Adam or Satan, since the Second Person in the Trinity has come, they must submit to the Second Person in the Trinity.[248] Whether it be Adam or Satan, since the Second Person in the Trinity has come, they must return the earth to the Second Person in the Trinity.
But Satan is mad. Even though the Second Person in the Trinity came to the earth, Satan claims that the earth is his. Satan goes so far as to say to the Second Person in the Trinity that if He worships him, he will give Him authority over the earth.[249] The Second Person in the Trinity is upholding the existence of Satan. The Second Person in the Trinity can immediately judge Satan the fraud. The Second Person in the Trinity can restore the earth right away.[250]
However, the reason the Second Person in the Trinity became a creature, is not to inherit space-time. If the Second Person in the Trinity had not become a creature, space-time still belonged to the Second Person in the Trinity.[251] The Second Person in the Trinity also created space-time, and the Second Person in the Trinity is also upholding space-time.[252] Space-time already belongs to the Second Person in the Trinity. However, the Second Person in the Trinity becomes a creature and gives up ownership of space-time.[253] The Second Person in the Trinity inherits space-time through the cross. The Second Person in the Trinity, God the Creator, now owns space-time as a creature.[254]
The reason why the Second Person in the Trinity became a creature, is to complete space-time.[255] The Second Person in the Trinity annihilates sin in space-time.[256] The Second Person in the Trinity spares only the creatures that obey the commandments of love, and burns the rest in the lake of fire.[257] If the Second Person in the Trinity kills Satan right away, the possibility to sin is not annihilated in creatures. Therefore, the Second Person in the Trinity keeps Satan alive for the time being.
Before burning death and Hades into the lake of fire, the Second Person in the Trinity proves the truthfulness of the commandments.[258] In order to save creatures, the Second Person in the Trinity annihilates the possibility to sin in creatures.[259] In order to complete creation, the Second Person in the Trinity bears the cross.[260] Therefore, the Second Person in the Trinity keeps Satan alive for the time being.[261]
The Second Person in the Trinity is the Last Adam.[262] The vicarious management proxy that God entrusted to the 1st Adam, is still valid for the Last Adam.[263] The Second Person in the Trinity is the Heir of the entire space-time[264], and therefore He is the Owner and supreme Ruler.[265] However, unusually, the Last Adam is also the Steward of the earth who has been entrusted with the vicarious management proxy over the earth.[266] Of course, this vicarious management proxy was entrusted to the 1st Adam by the Second Person in the Trinity before the Second Person in the Trinity became a creature. Of course, until He is resurrected.[267] After the Second Person in the Trinity is resurrected, the inheritance of the Second Person in the Trinity is formally confirmed in space-time.[268] Now, the Second Person in the Trinity confers the 1000-year kingdom on the martyr witnesses.[269]
The 1st Adam was deceived by Satan, but the Last Adam is not deceived. Satan caused the 1st Adam to lose his vicarious management proxy, but the Last Adam does not lose His vicarious management proxy. Satan controlled the 1st Adam, but he cannot control the Last Adam.[270] Satan has no other choice but to kill the Last Adam.[271] Satan kills the Last Adam to rule the earth. In order to rule the earth, Satan even kills God the Creator who created him.[272]
God already knew that Adam would not be able to overcome Satan's deception. Adam was given enough light. Adam was able to overcome Satan's deception sufficiently. The righteous angels overcame Helel's deception. The free will of the righteous angels become perfected without pain.[273] If Adam had overcome Satan's deception, his free will too would have been able to be perfected without pain. Maybe the process of creation might have been different from now.
But Adam would not try to overcome. Adam would not try to give up his lust. Adam would not try to forsake Eve.[274] God makes us possible to endure temptations, but does not forcibly make our choice itself impossible. We cannot overcome unless our free will is willing to overcome.
The limit of the temptation God determined for adam, is to lay down his/her life.[275] The limit of the temptation adam has to endure, is to lay down his/her life. If adam can love even to death, there will be no temptation what he/she is not able to endure.[276] Before he/she knew the love of the cross, adam feared death. After he/she knows the love of the cross, adam is not afraid of death. Through the love of the cross, there is no temptation that adam is not able to endure.[277] This is because God does not allow adam to be tempted above the point of laying down his/her life.[278]
There is no temptation that a person with perfected free will is not able to endure. The greatest of all temptations, is death. If we love to death, we can overcome all temptations. The meaning that God allows only the temptations that we are able to endure, means that God would make us possible to love even to death.[279] If we love to the point of death, there would be no temptations that we are not able to endure. God does not allow humans to undergo a temptation above the point of laying down his/her life.
In addition, since the human earthen flesh is on the verge of breaking, human life is very easily cut off. That is why God clothes criminals with a new body before burning them in the lake of fire.[280] It is because the earthen flesh on the verge of breaking, cannot withstand the fierce flame of the lake of fire.[281] Criminals must be thoroughly burned as much as their sins.[282] In order to make them pay the price for sin, God will clothe them with a new body that can endure the pain of being burned to the end.[283] It is a kind of prison uniform.
God will perfect the free will of creatures through His love of the cross. Through adam who was deceived by Satan and became like a beast[284], creatures realize the helplessness of creatures.[285] Through the love of the cross, the beast-like adam is perfected into the image of God.[286] Through the cross, creatures see the glory of God.[287]
F. The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to judge Satan fraudswarms.
Ps.2:6 "Yet I have set my king on my holy hill of Zion."
Ps.2:7 I will tell of the decree. Yahweh said to me, "You are my son. Today I have become your father.
Ps.2:8 Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, The uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
Ps.2:9 You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."
Ps.110:1 Yahweh says to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand, Until I make your enemies your footstool for your feet."
John3:36 One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."
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.
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."
John14:31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
John16:11 about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
John17:3 This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
1Cor.15:25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
Eph.6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Col.2:15 having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
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,
1John3:8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
The Second Person in the Trinity comes as a creature and judges the creatures that have sinned. God the Creator becomes a creature and becomes the King of creatures.[288] The Second Person in the Trinity comes as the Last Adam and breaks Satan's head. The Second Person in the Trinity will make the 1st Adam born again and break the broken head of Satan again through him/her.[289] The 1st Adam who is of the earth, is born again from heaven through the blood of the Last Adam, the word of God, and God the Holy Spirit.[290] The 1st Adam who is born again, loves God and his/her neighbors even to death.[291] The truthfulness of the commandments is proved by the blood of martyr witnesses.[292] The commandments are established as the basis for judgment. Judgment is executed against criminals who trample on their neighbors.
The Second Person in the Trinity inherits space-time and sits on the throne. The Second Person in the Trinity is waiting for the appointed number of martyr witnesses to prove the truthfulness of the commandments.[293] When the appointed number of martyr witnesses is completed, the 1st resurrection takes place.[294] If we break the commandments, we cannot overcome death. If we do not overcome death, we cannot be resurrected or transformed. The truthfulness of the commandments is proved by the resurrection or transformation that overcomes death.[295] The truthfulness of the commandments is proved by the resurrection or transformation of the martyr witnesses.[296] When the 1st resurrection takes place, the truthfulness of the commandments is proved.[297]
God commands creatures to keep the commandments of love.[298] When the truthfulness of the commandments is proved, creatures come to do not misunderstand God. If the truthfulness of the commandments is proved, it is proved that God's love and justice are true. When creatures come to do not misunderstand God, the possibility to sin is annihilated in creatures.[299] When creatures fully realize God's love and justice, their free will is perfected.
Satan deceives us by saying that a creature can also become god. Satan deceives us by saying that the commandments are something that creatures cannot keep anyway. Satan deceives us by saying that there will be no judgment even if we break the commandments. Satan deceives us by saying that we will not die even if we break the commandments. Satan deceives us by saying that we will not die even if we trample on our neighbors. When the truthfulness of the commandments is proved, Satan's claims against the commandments are exposed as false. When Satan's lies are exposed, the Second Person in the Trinity steps over sin and death. Sin and death become the footstool for the Second Person in the Trinity.
The Second Person in the Trinity is God the Creator. No creature can be the enemy of God the Creator.[300] God becomes a creature and becomes the enemy of sin and death. Death is just a creature.[301] God becomes a creature and becomes the enemy of evil creatures. In order to annihilate sin in space-time, God becomes a creature. The Second Person in the Trinity becomes the Seed of a woman and becomes the enemy of Satan fraudswarms.[302]
God is the Almighty the Creator. God is not a king of creatures. Humans cannot be a king of ants. It is so even between creatures. But God is the Creator. God becomes a creature and becomes the King of creatures. In order to perfect the free will of creatures, God becomes a creature. The Second Person in the Trinity becomes the King of kings and becomes the King of creatures.[303]
G. The Last Adam predetermined to come and redeem the inheritance of the 1st Adam.
Gen.2:15 Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
Gen.2:16 Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat:
Gen.2:17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it: for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die."
Gen.3:4 The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die,
Gen.3:5 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."
Gen.3:6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit of it, and ate; and she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate.
Lev.25:24 In all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land.
Lev.25:25 If your brother be grew poor, and sell some of his possession, then shall his kinsman who is next to him come, and shall redeem that which his brother has sold.
Lev.25:39 If your brother has grown poor with you, and sell himself to you; you shall not make him to serve as a bond-servant.
Lev.25:40 As a hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with you; he shall serve with you to the year of jubilee:
Lev.25:41 then shall he go out from you, he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers shall he return.
Luke4:5 The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
Luke4:6 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.
John8:34 Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
Rom.6:16 Don't you know that to whom you present yourselves as servants to obedience, his servants you are whom you obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
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.
Rom.6:18 Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.
Rom.6:19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh, for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.
Rom.6:20 For when you were servants of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
Rom.6:21 What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
Rom.6:22 But now, being made free from sin, and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of eternal life.
Eph.2:1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
Eph.2:2 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;
Eph.2:3 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.
Rev.5:1 I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book written inside and outside, sealed shut with seven seals.
Rev.5:2 I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?"
Rev.5:3 No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look in it.
Rev.5:4 And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look in it.
Rev.5:5 One of the elders said to me, "Don't weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome; he who opens the book and its seven seals."
Rev.5:6 I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.
Rev.5:7 Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne.
Rev.5:8 Now when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
Rev.5:9 They sang a new song, saying, "You are worthy to take the book, And to open its seals: For you were killed, And bought us for God with your blood, Out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,
Rev.5:10 And made them kings and priests to our God, And they reign on earth."
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.
Rev.20:5 The rest of the dead didn't live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Adam sinned. Adam became a slave to sin. Adam came under the control of Satan. Adam sinned. Adam lost his vicarious management proxy over the earth that had been entrusted to him. Satan is controlling Adam and polluting the earth with sin. The Second Person in the Trinity comes as the Last Adam. The Last Adam frees the 1st Adam from the bondage of sin with His own blood. The Last Adam confers on the 1st Adam the vicarious management proxy again.[304]
The 1st Adam sold the land entrusted to him to sin.[305] The 1st Adam sold his vicarious management proxy of the earth to sin.[306] Sin is committed against God.[307] Therefore, to get the land back, he must pay the price for his sins to God.[308] The price for sin that God requires, is death.[309]
The Last Adam died in place of the 1st Adam. The Last Adam paid the price for sins in place of the 1st Adam.[310] Now the 1st Adam is freed from sin. Now the 1st Adam has the land back. The 1st Adam, freed from sin, can now live forever. The 1st Adam who regained the land, can now stay in space-time. The 1st Adam, born again from the Last Adam, now is not thrown into the lake of fire.
In particular, the martyr witnesses will inherit the 1000-year kingdom as an inheritance. As a priest, a martyr witness will rule the 1000-year kingdom. The Second Person in the Trinity will confer the new heaven and new earth among the space-time He has inherited from the First Person in the Trinity, on His priests as an inheritance.[311]
In order to redeem the flesh of the saints, the Second Person in the Trinity breaks the seal of the bond of slavery. In order to restore the body that adam sold to sin, the Second Person in the Trinity opens adam's bond of slavery. When the bond of slavery is opened, judgment is executed against the criminals who defile their bodies with sin.[312] When the bond of slavery is opened, the curse of the flesh ends.[313] When the curse of the flesh is over, adam comes to put on a spiritual body.[314] It is clothed with a spiritual body not a soulish body, so strictly speaking, it is not to be restored but to be completed. When we are resurrected or transformed, we become like angels.[315]
In order to redeem the inheritance of the priests, the Second Person in the Trinity breaks the seal on the land title deed. In order to restore the land that adam sold to sin, the Second Person in the Trinity opens the land title deed. When the land title deed is opened, judgment is executed against the criminals who pollute the land with their sins.[316] When the land title deed is opened, the curse of the land ends.[317] When the curse of the land is over, a new heaven and a new earth without curse begin.[318]
H. The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to put on the cursed flesh.
Luke1:35 The angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born from you will be called the Son of God.
Luke1:38 Mary said, "Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it to me according to your word." The angel departed from her.
Luke22:42 saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done."
Luke22:43 An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
Luke22:44 Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
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.
John8:46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
John10:34 Jesus answered them, "Isn't it written in your law, 'I said, you are gods?'
John10:35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can't be broken),
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;
Rom.8:4 that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Rom.8:5 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.
Rom.8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;
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.
Rom.8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.
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.
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.
Gal.5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh.
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.
Gal.6:8 For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
Eph.2:3 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.
Phil.3:18 For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ,
Phil.3:19 whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
Col.2:11 in whom you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ;
Col.3:1 If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
Col.3:2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
Col.3:3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
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,
Heb.2:15 and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Heb.2:16 For most assuredly, not to angels does he give help, but he gives help to the seed of Abraham.
Heb.2:17 Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.
Heb.2:18 For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
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.
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,
Heb.5:8 though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered.
Heb.5:9 Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation,
Heb.5:10 named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
1Pet.2:11 Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
1Pet.4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
1Pet.4:2 that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
1John3:5 You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and in him is no sin.
The Second Person in the Trinity inherited the cursed flesh from Mary. The Second Person in the Trinity also put on the same lust of flesh as we put on. Even in such a state, the Second Person in the Trinity completely overcame sin. Therefore, the Second Person in the Trinity becomes an example for us to overcome sin.[319]
The Second Person in the Trinity took on our sins in place of us and was forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity.[320] Due to the great pain of being forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity, the sweat of the Second Person in the Trinity became like drops of blood. Due to the tremendous pain of being forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity, the heart of the Second Person in the Trinity was ruptured.[321]
The 1st death is to be forsaken by God.[322] The 1st death is the return of the body to the dust. The 2nd death is to be burned in the lake of fire paying the price for sins.[323] The 2nd death is annihilation and return to non-existence. If we continue to remain in the state of being forsaken by God, we will eventually be thrown into the lake of fire.
The Second Person in the Trinity has never been separated from the First Person in the Trinity.[324] However, the Second Person in the Trinity has to be forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity on the cross.[325] The physical pain felt by the Second Person in the Trinity would have been nothing compared to the pain of being forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity.[326]
If the Second Person in the Trinity had been forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity without putting on the earthen flesh, would the Second Person in the Trinity have been agonized? If the Second Person in the Trinity could have taken on adam's sin in place of adam, without putting on the earthen flesh, then yes. He was probably agonized. This is because the pain of being forsaken by a loved one, is a different kind of pain than the physical pain of an earthen flesh. However, I don't know if the Second Person in the Trinity would have been able to take on adam's sin in place of adam, without putting on the earthen flesh.
The Second Person in the Trinity came as a human being to redeem the seed of Abraham who are humans.[327] It seems to be because if the Second Person in the Trinity had come as an angel, He probably would not have been able to redeem the seed of Abraham. A close relative redeems from slavery.[328] A close relative redeems inheritance.[329] Adam who became a slave to sin, is redeemed by his/her relative. The lost inheritance of adam is redeemed by his/her relative.
An angel who does not wear the cursed flesh, cannot feel the pain of adam who wears the cursed flesh. If the Second Person in the Trinity had not understood adam's pain, would He have been able to redeem adam? I don't know. He could not have become the example to adam, even if He perhaps could have redeemed adam without understanding adam. He too could not have become the Mediator between God and adam.[330] He would not have been able to prove the truthfulness of the commandments, nor would He have had adam prove the truthfulness of the commandments.
The Second Person in the Trinity showed us through the flesh so that we could see Him being forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity.[331] If we had not been able to see the Second Person in the Trinity being forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity, the redemption of the Second Person in the Trinity would not have been able to change us.[332] If we had not been able to see the redemption of the Second Person in the Trinity, even if the Second Person in the Trinity had redeemed us, the redemption would not have been able to change us.[333]
If we had not been able to see the redemption of the cross, we would not have been able to realize the love of God expressed through the cross.[334] If we had not been able to realize the love of God expressed through the cross, we would not have been able to love God.[335] If we had not been able to love God, we would not have been able to keep the commandments of God.[336] If we had not been able to keep the commandments of God, we would not have been able to prove the truthfulness of the commandments.[337] If we had not been able to prove the truthfulness of the commandments, the love and justice of God who commanded us to keep the commandments, would not have been proved.[338]
If God's love and justice had not been proved, the free will of angels would not have been perfected.[339] If the free will of angels had not been perfected, the possibility to sin would still have remained in angels.[340] If angels still had the possibility to sin, creation would not have been able to be completed.[341] If creation had not been able to be completed, the cross of the Second Person in the Trinity would have been in vain.[342] Therefore, the Second Person in the Trinity carries the cross as an adam, not as an angel.
The Word became flesh.[343] The Word, put on the cursed flesh. Among the cursed thorny bush, the flame of the Word burns. The flame of the Word burns, but the thorny bush is not consumed.[344] The cursed flesh loves His neighbors.[345] The cursed flesh expresses the image of God as it is.[346] In the midst of the cursed flesh, the glory of God is seen.[347]
The cursed flesh is the body of death.[348] In the body of death, the lust of flesh rises.[349] Even though the Word wore the body of death, He overcame the lust of flesh through God the Holy Spirit.[350] If we also receive the word of God, we can overcome the lust of flesh through God the Holy Spirit.[351] The Word became flesh through God the Holy Spirit. If we also receive the word of God and receive God the Holy Spirit, we can express the word in the flesh through God the Holy Spirit.[352] God who became a creature, expressed the image of God through God the Holy Spirit. If we also receive the word of God and receive God the Holy Spirit, we can express the image of God through God the Holy Spirit.[353]
The Second Person in the Trinity originally knows everything and is omnipotent.[354] The Second Person in the Trinity emptied Himself and became a creature.[355] During the period when He is an adam, even the Second Person in the Trinity must overcome the lust of flesh through suffering.[356] This is because the Second Person in the Trinity Himself is upholding space-time as such a structure in person.[357] If the Second Person in the Trinity is upholding space-time as such a structure and yet He avoids suffering, it is no different than that the Second Person in the Trinity Himself intends to sin. Since the Second Person in the Trinity is upholding space-time as a structure in which creatures can overcome the lust of flesh through suffering[358], the Second Person in the Trinity overcomes the lust of flesh through suffering.[359]
The Second Person in the Trinity put on the same flesh as we put on. Therefore, the Second Person in the Trinity felt all the temptations and pains we felt, just as we do. However, the Second Person in the Trinity never sinned.[360] The Second Person in the Trinity lived only for the will of the First Person in the Trinity.[361] In order to overcome sin, the Second Person in the Trinity also had to offer up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears. If the Second Person in the Trinity does not empty Himself but overcomes sin by God's power, then the Second Person in the Trinity would not be an example for adam to overcome sin. If so, the truthfulness of the commandments could not be proved. If so, Satan would attack.
Only the spirit that acknowledges that the Second Person in the Trinity has overcome sin with wearing the same flesh as ours, is from God.[362] If the Second Person in the Trinity had not put on the cursed flesh, His resurrection could not clearly prove the truthfulness of the commandments. For if there were no lust of flesh, it would be easy to keep the commandments. The purpose for which God created adam, is to prove the truthfulness of the commandments.[363] If adam had no lust of flesh, even if adam kept the commandments, the truthfulness of the commandments would not be clearly proved. Even if an angel who has no lust of flesh keeps the commandments, the truthfulness of the commandments is not clearly proved.
The death of the Second Person in the Trinity and the death of saints are different. The Second Person in the Trinity takes on the sins of saints in place of them, and is forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity. However, saints are covered with the blood of the Second Person in the Trinity and are embraced by the First Person in the Trinity. On the cross, the Second Person in the Trinity was a murderer, a rapist, and a robber. Even though it is the same death, the death of being forsaken and the death of being embraced are different. The death of the sinner and the death of the righteous are different.
The Second Person in the Trinity becomes an example for adam to keep the commandments. The Second Person in the Trinity overcomes death and is resurrected.[364] Adam is no longer afraid of death. Because he/she knows he/she will soon be resurrected.[365] Following the example of the Second Person in the Trinity, adam keeps the commandments.[366] Through the resurrection or transformation that overcomes death, it is proved that they have kept the commandments.[367] Angels understand the truthfulness of the commandments.
I. The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to prove the truthfulness of the commandments.
John8:17 It's also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.
John8:18 I am he who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me."
John8:46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
Is.43:10 You are my witnesses, says Yahweh, and my servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
Is.43:11 I, even I, am Yahweh; and besides me there is no savior.
Is.43:12 I have declared, and I have saved, and I have shown; and there was no strange [god] among you: therefore you are my witnesses, says Yahweh, and I am God.
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."
John16:11 about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
Col.2:15 having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
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,
Heb.11:39 These all, having had testimony given to them through their faith, didn't receive the promise,
Heb.11:40 God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
Heb.12:1 Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
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.
Rev.6:10 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?"
Rev.6:11 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.
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.
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.
Rev.12:12 Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time."
Rev.12:13 When the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.
Rev.14:4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
Rev.14:5 In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.
The Second Person in the Trinity put on the cursed flesh and kept the commandments.[368] The Second Person in the Trinity was resurrected overcoming sin and death.[369] Angels and Satan fraudswarms saw that the Second Person in the Trinity kept the commandments.[370] The truthfulness of the commandments was mostly proved. Martyr witnesses are resurrected or transformed through God the Holy Spirit.[371] Through God the Holy Spirit, the truthfulness of the commandments is finally proved.
The Second Person in the Trinity is God the Creator who became a creature.[372] The First Person in the Trinity is the Witness, the Second Person in the Trinity is the Witness[373], and the Third Person in the Trinity is the Witness.[374] Saints are also witnesses.[375] Through the Third Person in the Trinity, saints testify that the Second Person in the Trinity is God the Creator.[376] Saints testify that the Second Person in the Trinity is resurrected through the Third Person in the Trinity, that He has overcome sin and death, and that He has kept the commandments.[377] Saints testify through the Third Person in the Trinity that the Second Person in the Trinity is the promised Messiah.[378]
Creatures confirm what the Second Person in the Trinity says and what actions He does.[379] Creatures confirm that the Second Person in the Trinity keeps the commandments and overcomes death.[380] If the Second Person in the Trinity had not become a creature, creatures would not have been able to know what God is like.[381] If creatures had not been able to know what God is like, they would not have been able to love God.[382]
If the Second Person in the Trinity had not promised in advance through the bible that He would come as a creature[383], even if the Second Person in the Trinity had come as a creature, creatures would not have been able to recognize the Second Person in the Trinity.[384] Only the creatures that obey God, live forever. Only the creatures that obey God who came as a creature, live forever.[385] If creatures do not recognize God who has come as a creature, then creatures cannot obey God who has come as a creature.[386] Therefore, before God becomes a creature, He first records Himself in the bible so that creatures can recognize God who will become a creature.[387]
God is upholding angels and humans as creatures whose free will is perfected only when they realize the truthfulness of the commandments.[388] To prove the truthfulness of the commandments, God makes the appointed number of martyr witnesses come out. In order for the saints to be martyred, God the Holy Spirit comes into the flesh of the saints.[389] The Second Person in the Trinity sheds blood on the cross so that the saints can receive God the Holy Spirit.[390] The Second Person in the Trinity comes as the Messiah so that the saints can be forgiven of their sins by the blood of the Second Person in the Trinity.[391]
So that people can recognize the Messiah, God gives the bible to people.[392] God establishes the nation of Israel so that people can know that the bible is what God is saying to people.[393] Creatures see what God requires of Israel[394] and how God treats Israel.[395] Through Israel, creatures come to know what God requires of creatures.[396] Through Israel, creatures realize how God treats them.[397] To establish the nation of Israel, God chooses Abraham.[398]
God proves the truthfulness of the commandments through people. God works through people.[399] God reveals His will to people through the bible.[400] God does what He has written beforehand in the bible.[401] God uses a person to bring a person to God.[402] Therefore, 'people' must communicate it to their neighbors.[403] God draws people to Him through the bible.[404] Therefore, we must communicate the 'bible' to our neighbors.[405] 'People' must communicate the 'bible'.[406] In order for the neighbors to obey God, people must communicate the word of God to their neighbors.[407] Therefore, a person becomes a witness bearing witness to the word of God.[408]
People receive the word of God through witnesses. Those who receive the word of God, also become witnesses. Through people who becomes witnesses, other people become witnesses.[409] Through witnesses, people make the new covenant with the blood of the Messiah.[410] God the Holy Spirit comes upon those who make the new covenant.[411] People who have received God the Holy Spirit, love their neighbors even to death.[412] Through God the Holy Spirit, people are martyred.[413] When the appointed number of martyr witnesses are resurrected or transformed, the truthfulness of the commandments is proved.[414] When the truthfulness of the commandments is proved, the possibility to sin is annihilated in creatures.[415] Creation becomes completed when the possibility to sin is annihilated in creatures.[416]
Adam sinned. God promised the Seed of a woman. The Seed of a woman is the Messiah. The Messiah will come and crush Satan's head.[417] The Messiah will free adam from slavery to sin.[418] The Messiah will bring adam back to paradise.[419]
As promised, the Messiah has come.[420] The Second Person in the Trinity came as the Messiah.[421] The Messiah took up the cross and crushed Satan's head.[422] The veil before the most holy place was torn.[423] Forgiveness has been done. Now saints can enter the most holy place by the blood of the Messiah.[424] To be precise, saints can become the most holy place.
Through the blood that the Messiah shed, God the Holy Spirit comes.[425] God the Holy Spirit comes into the flesh of saints.[426] Since the flesh of saints receive God, the flesh of saints becomes the temple.[427] God rules over the saints, and now the saints are in heaven.[428] God tells us this through the bible.[429]
God the Holy Spirit comes upon the repentant saint.[430] God the Holy Spirit enables the saint to overcome sin.[431] God the Holy Spirit makes the saint overcome the lust of flesh.[432] The saint overcomes sin, and the truthfulness of the commandments is proved.[433] God the Holy Spirit comes on the day of Pentecost.[434] From Pentecost to now, God the Holy Spirit has been coming as the early rain.[435] At the end of Pentecost, God the Holy Spirit will come even as the latter rain.[436] At the beginning of the Feast of Trumpets, God the Holy Spirit will come even as the latter rain.[437]
Through God the Holy Spirit, the Second Person in the Trinity became the firstfruits of those who are asleep.[438] Through God the Holy Spirit who came as the early rain, the saints became those who have the firstfruits of the Spirit.[439] God the Holy Spirit comes as the early rain and makes the seed sprout. Farming is almost over. Now the time of harvest is near. God the Holy Spirit will come even as the latter rain and make the fruits come out. God the Holy Spirit will come even as the latter rain and make the firstfruits who are redeemed from among men come out.[440]
Through these 3 firstfruits that have kept the commandments, the truthfulness of the commandments is proved.[441] The truthfulness of the commandments is proved through the Second Person in the Trinity who is the firstfruits of those who are asleep, the disciples who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, and the firstfruits who are redeemed from among men.[442] Soon, the firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, will come forth. These are 144000. When the appointed number of firstfruits is completed, the 1st resurrection takes place.[443] When the appointed number of martyr witnesses is all completed, the 1st resurrection takes place.[444] When the martyr witnesses overcome sin and death, and are resurrected or transformed, the truthfulness of the commandments is proved.[445]
The saints of the old testament times also believed in the Messiah.[446] The saints of the new testament times keep the commandments by believing in the Messiah who has come.[447] The saints of the old testament times kept the commandments by believing in the Messiah who is to come.[448] The saints of the old testament times were also forgiven of their sins by the blood of the cross.[449] The saints of the old testament times also believed in the Messiah and overcame sin.[450] However, they only came to God through the copy and shadow of the Messiah.[451] We come to God through the true Messiah.[452] We actually receive God the Holy Spirit in our flesh.[453] The martyr witnesses of the old testament times will also participate in the 1st resurrection.[454]
J. Those who follow the Second Person in the Trinity overcome sin.
John8:12 Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."
Rev.3:14 "To the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: "The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Head of God's creation, says these things:
1John5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
1John5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.
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.
Rom.8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
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;
Rom.8:4 that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
God confines the fallen angels in Hades. In the darkness where Satan fraudswarms are confined, God expresses Himself as light. In the darkness where Satan fraudswarms are confined, God expresses Himself as a creature. The Second Person in the Trinity is the light of life and the beginning of creation. The Second Person in the Trinity became a creature. The First Person in the Trinity testifies about the Second Person in the Trinity, and the Second Person in the Trinity also testifies about the Second Person in the Trinity.
The Second Person in the Trinity is the commandments and the law. The thoughts, words, and actions of the Second Person in the Trinity, are the commandments and the law. The Second Person in the Trinity created creatures as things that can keep the commandments sufficiently if they want to. The Second Person in the Trinity Himself becomes a creature and testifies about this fact in person. The Second Person in the Trinity becomes a creature and obeys the First Person in the Trinity to death.
Through the cross, now creatures realize that the commandments are what creatures can keep. Through the cross, creatures now realize God's love. Through the cross, creatures now keep the commandments. Through the cross, creatures now become witnesses to the commandments. Through the cross, creatures now prove the truthfulness of the commandments.
Sin is breaking the commandments. Sin is lawlessness.[455] Criminals who break the commandments and trample on their neighbors, God will burn them all in the lake of fire. If we love God, we can keep the commandments. If we do not love God, we cannot keep the commandments. Therefore, only those who love God, live forever. Only those who accept God's love, love God. Only those who accept the love of the cross, love God. The love of the cross is recorded in the bible. The bible is the definitive authority by which God reveals His will to creatures.
We come to realize God's love through God the Holy Spirit. We come to love God through God the Holy Spirit.[456] God the Holy Spirit enables us to keep the commandments.[457] We cannot die unless we break the commandments. The commandments guarantee eternal life to those who keep them. But we cannot keep the commandments in our own strength. If we break the commandments, we will surely die.
The commandments that were the law of death to us, become the law of life to us through God the Holy Spirit. The commandments that condemned us, through God the Holy Spirit, guarantee our eternal life. The Second Person in the Trinity put on the cursed flesh and showed us the example of loving God and neighbors.[458] Therefore, we, who are in the cursed flesh, now love God and our neighbors.
K. He predetermined to make the firstfruits come out.
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:
Lev.23:11 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.
1Cor.15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.
[Feast of Firstfruits = Firstfruits of those who are asleep = The Second Person in the Trinity]
Ex.34:22 You shall observe the feast of weeks with the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of harvest at the year's end.
Ex.23:16 And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you sow in the field: and the feast of harvest, at the end of the year, when you gather in your labors out of the field.
Num.28:26 Also in the day of the first fruits, when you offer a new meal-offering to Yahweh in your [feast of] weeks, you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no servile work;
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.
[Pentecost = Feast of Weeks = Feast of Harvest = disciples who have the firstfruits of the Spirit]
Lev.23:39 However on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you shall keep the feast of Yahweh seven days: on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest.
Deut.16:13 You shall keep the feast of tents seven days, after that you have gathered in from your threshing floor and from your winepress:
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.
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.
Rev.14:4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
Rev.14:5 In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.
[Feast of Tabernacles = Feast of Ingathering = firstfruits who are redeemed from among men = 144000]
Heb.10:12 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
Heb.10:13 from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.
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.
Rev.6:10 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?"
Rev.6:11 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.
God predetermined to create space-time where creatures love each other.[459] God predetermined to command creatures to keep the commandments.[460] God predetermined to give creatures free will.[461] God predetermined to permit creatures to sin, if they will.[462]
God predetermined to annihilate the possibility to sin in creatures.[463] God predetermined to perfect the free will of creatures.[464] God predetermined to prove His love and justice to creatures.[465] God predetermined to prove to creatures the observableness of the commandments.[466] God predetermined to prove to creatures the possibleness of the observance of the commandments. God predetermined the cross.[467]
God predetermined to become a creature in person.[468] God predetermined to set an example of keeping the commandments.[469] God foreknew that angels would fall. God predetermined to create Adam. God foreknew that Adam would fall. God predetermined to curse the ground. God predetermined to make adam put on the cursed flesh. God predetermined to become an adam in person.[470]
God predetermined to bring forth the firstfruits of keeping the commandments.[471] God predetermined to bring forth the firstfruits of loving God and neighbors even to death.[472] God predetermined to make the appointed number of martyr witnesses, come out.[473] God predetermined to make the martyr witnesses who love God and their neighbors even to death, come out. God predetermined to become a creature and to be the example in person.[474]
As God foreknew, Helel is trying to usurp the throne.[475] As God foreknew, Helel attacks God's commandments.[476] 'Creatures cannot keep the commandments', Helel claims.[477] 'Creatures cannot love God and their neighbors', Helel claims. God confines Helel in Hades.[478]
As He predetermined, God Himself becomes a creature. As He predetermined, the Second Person in the Trinity sets the example of keeping the commandments. As He predetermined, the Second Person in the Trinity overcomes sin and death and is resurrected.[479] As He predetermined, the Second Person in the Trinity inherits space-time.[480] As He predetermined, the Second Person in the Trinity waits for the appointed number of martyr witnesses who will prove the truthfulness of the commandments.[481]
The Second Person in the Trinity waits for His enemies to be made His footstool.[482] Of course we must make the enemies His footstool.[483] When we obey God's commands, we can put the enemies His footstool.[484] Our enemies are death and all things under death.[485] Our enemy is sin.[486] Our enemies are all that disobey the commandments of love.[487] Our enemies are all those that make creatures trample on their neighbors.[488]
The Second Person in the Trinity washes saints with His blood. God the Holy Spirit comes upon the saints as the early rain. The saints receive the firstfruits of the Spirit. God the Holy Spirit comes upon the saints even as the latter rain. The saints become the firstfruits who are redeemed from among men. The firstfruits of those who are asleep is 1, and the firstfruits who are redeemed from among men are 144000. There are many saints who have the firstfruits of the Spirit.
If we keep the commandments, we overcome death. If we overcome death, we are resurrected or transformed. The truthfulness of the commandments is proved when the appointed number of the firstfruits are resurrected or transformed.[489] When the appointed number of martyr witnesses are resurrected or transformed, the truthfulness of the commandments is proved.[490] When the appointed number of firstfruits is completed, the resurrection or transformation takes place.[491] When the appoint number of martyr witnesses is all completed, the 1st resurrection takes place.[492]
If the appointed number of firstfruits do not come forth, the truthfulness of the commandments is not proved. Unless the appointed number of martyr witnesses come forth, sin cannot be annihilated in space-time. If the promised word of God does not come true, it becomes as if God lied. If God were lying, Satan fraudswarms could not be made God's footstool. If Satan fraudswarms are not judged, space-time will be filled with violence and murder.[493]
If the rule of love does not come true in space-time, then God must have made a mistake. But God is present in every moment and every place at the same time.[494] God is upholding every moment and every place at the same time, just as He wills it be.[495] For God to make mistakes, absolutely impossible.[496] Time or death are also just creatures.[497]
Unless God deliberately wants to make mistakes, God can never make mistakes. If God does not want to make mistakes but sometimes He makes mistakes, space-time cannot even begin to exist in the first place. If God might not be true, substance could not even begin to exist in the first place.
Everything is in God. Everything comes from God. Everything comes from the First Person in the Trinity, the Second Person in the Trinity, and the Third Person in the Trinity, and continues to exist.[498] Everything comes from the truth and continues to exist.[499] God created creatures as those that make mistakes.[500] Therefore, creatures come to depend on God.[501]
But God makes no mistakes. If God makes a mistake, creatures die. If God created space-time in such a way that creatures could die because of God's mistake, then God would not be love. But God is love. God does not lie. God did not create creatures to kill them. The appointed number of martyr witnesses who will prove the truthfulness of the commandments, will surely come out.[502]
If the truthfulness of the commandments is proved, the commandments will stand as the basis for judgment.[503] When the commandments stand as the basis for judgment, all creatures that trample on their neighbors are confirmed as criminals. When the commandments stand as the basis for judgment, the judgment on the criminals is executed.[504]
Creatures see the cruelties of a world in which the commandments have collapsed. Creatures feel the preciousness of the commandments.[505] Creatures confirm the truthfulness of the commandments. Creatures realize the love and justice of God who commanded them to keep the commandments.[506] Creatures forsake their will to break the commandments.[507] In space-time, suffering is forever over.[508] Rest is made.[509]
Ω Even when the Second Person in the Trinity is God the Creator, can He be forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity? | |
View1: He can be forsaken. | View2: He cannot be forsaken. |
Being forsaken is a concept that has little to do with the flesh. The pain of being forsaken is different from the pain of the flesh. The Second Person in the Trinity does not have to become a creature in order to be forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity. Even in ever-existing infinity, the First Person in the Trinity can forsake the Second Person in the Trinity. Even when the Second Person in the Trinity upholds infinity as ever-existing, the Second Person in the Trinity can be forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity. | The Second Person in the Trinity is existing in the form of the First Person in the Trinity.[510] The Second Person in the Trinity is equal to the First Person in the Trinity. The First Person in the Trinity and the Second Person in the Trinity always exist and uphold infinity as ever-existing. In ever-existing infinity, neither the First Person in the Trinity nor the Second Person in the Trinity can be guilty. Death is also just a creature. It is God who is upholding space-time so that if there is a sin, it is held by death. Only when the Second Person in the Trinity emptied Himself and became a creature, can the Second Person in the Trinity be forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity. It is because God is upholding the current space-time like that. If the Second Person in the Trinity had not taken over adam's sin, even if the Second Person in the Trinity had become a creature, the Second Person in the Trinity could not have been forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity. This is because the Second Person in the Trinity never sins. |
I support this view. | |
Conclusion The First Person in the Trinity is always infinite.[511] The Second Person in the Trinity is always infinite.[512] The Third Person in the Trinity is always infinite.[513] The First Person in the Trinity, the Second Person in the Trinity, and the Third Person in the Trinity are present in every moment and every place in the past present future at the same time[514], upholding every monent and every place in the past present future at the same time.[515] Time is also just a creature.[516] Ever-existing infinity is the domain of God alone. No creature can understand ever-existing infinity.[517] But in order to understand that foolish thinking is foolish, we force ourselves to think foolishly.[518] Creatures cannot see God.[519] This is because God is upholding the present space-time as such a structure. If creatures could not see God, they would not be able to realize the love of God. If creatures could not realize the love of God, they would not be able to love God. This is because God is upholding space-time as such a structure. God Himself becomes a creature in order to show Himself to creatures.[520] God Himself becomes a creature in order to prove His love to creatures.[521] God is upholding the current space-time as a structure in which sin can exist. Therefore, in the present space-time, if the Second Person in the Trinity becomes a creature and takes on the sins of creatures, then the Second Person in the Trinity can be forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity.[522] But in infinity where God alone upholds as ever-existing, there can be no will against God. In ever-existing infinity, sin cannot exist. Therefore, in ever-existing infinity, the Second Person in the Trinity cannot be forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity. A creature exists only in space-time. Whether it is time or space, death or life, they are all just creatures. A creature cannot exist in a time before it is created. Time, too, cannot exist before it is created. 'Before' or 'after' are also just concepts within time. A creature cannot perceive things outside of space-time.[523] No matter what happens in a domain other than our own space-time, neither angels nor humans can perceive it. The outside of space-time is the domain of God alone. In the domain of God alone, things like sin, death, or forsaking cannot exist. In the domain of God alone, things that defy God's will cannot exist. Non-existence is not existence.[524] The Second Person in the Trinity put on the flesh and bears the cross. Creatures see the Second Person in the Trinity who is forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity in place of adam on the cross.[525] Creatures see and realize God's love.[526] Realizing the love of God, creatures come to love God. If creatures could not see God, they would not have been able to realize the love of God. |

Additional question In ever-existing infinity, the Second Person in the Trinity cannot be forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity. If so, is the pain that God suffered in space-time, in fact, not exist? Is the pain that God suffered on the cross, real to God only in space-time? Is God's pain nothing more than a 'dream' in ever-existing infinity?[527] Or does God always feel the pain of the cross? Does God always feel the sorrow of Helel's fall and the joy of completing creation at the same time? In ever-existing infinity, only God is the Existence. In ever-existing infinity, everything is non-existence. Does God recognize the pain contained in non-existence as 'substance'? I do not know. It is better not to think more than we ought to think.[528] Wouldn't it be impossible for a creature to know everything about what God is? The part that has not been recorded in the bible, it is wisdom not to think with a narrow reason. How God recognize the pain of the cross, is something no creature can dare to understand. A creature exists only in time. |
[1] Mark12:29 Jesus answered, "The greatest is, 'Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one: you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the primary commandment. The second is like this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
[2] 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.

[4] 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.
[5] 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; having predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
[6] 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;
[7] 2Thess.2:9 even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn't receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie; that they all might be judged who didn't believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
[8] Gen.20:4 Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, "Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation? Didn't he tell me, 'She is my sister?' She, even she herself said, 'He is my brother.' 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.
[9] 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.
[10] Is.14:12 How you are fallen from heaven, day-star, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!

[11] Dan.3:5 that whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up; and whoever doesn't fall down and worships shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
[12] Hos.4:1 Hear the word of Yahweh, you children of Israel; For Yahweh has a charge against the inhabitants of the land: "Indeed there is no truth, Nor goodness, Nor knowledge of God in the land. There is cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery; They break boundaries, and bloodshed causes bloodshed.
[13] 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."
[14] Num.17:12 The children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone. Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tent of Yahweh, dies: shall we perish all of us?
[15] Job2:3 Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause." Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has will he give for his life. But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face."
[16] Jer.1:5 Before I formed you in the belly I knew you, and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.
[17] Eph.3:9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ; to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord;
[18] 1John5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
[19] 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."
[20] 1John4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God. He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.
[21] 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 --

[23] 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.
[24] 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,
[25] 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.
[26] 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.
[27] 1John1:1 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life (and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us);
[28] 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
[29] 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.'
[30] 1Cor.15:54 But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: "Death is swallowed up in victory." "Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
[31] 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.
[32] John10:17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father."
[33] 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.
[34] 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.
[35] 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
[36] 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."
[37] Rev.11:19 God's temple that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of the Lord's covenant was seen in his temple. Lightnings, sounds, thunders, an earthquake, and great hail followed.
[38] Rev.15:1 I saw another great and marvelous sign in the sky: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them God's wrath is finished.
[39] 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.
[40] Rev.5:11 I saw, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands; saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, riches, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing!" I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! Amen." The four living creatures said, "Amen!" The elders fell down and worshiped.
[41] John5:22 For neither does the Father judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him.
[42] 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.
[43] John3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."
[44] 2Pet.2:4 For if God didn't spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved to judgment;
[45] 1John3:8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
[46] Rom.8:19 For the creation waits with eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.
[47] 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.
[48] 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.
[49] Rev.20:15 If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
[50] 1Cor.8:6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
[51] Col.1:16 For by him were all things created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
[52] Is.9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be on his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
[53] Gal.4:4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law, that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
[54] 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. God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
[55] Gen.2:15 Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
[56] 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.
[57] 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?
[58] 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;
[59] 1John3:16 By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
[60] Matt.22:36 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?" 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.
[61] Matt.5:21 "You have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'You shall not murder;' and 'Whoever shall murder shall be in danger of the judgment.' But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment; and whoever shall say to his brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council; and whoever shall say, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.
[62] 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.
[63] 2Cor.6:1 Working together, we entreat also that you not receive the grace of God in vain,
[64] 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.
[65] 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, that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
[66] Matt.23:29 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and decorate the tombs of the righteous, and say, 'If we had been in the days of our fathers, we wouldn't have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.' Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are sons of those who killed the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers. You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna?
[67] John15:12 "This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
[68] Job15:15 Behold, he puts no trust in his holy ones; Yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight: How much less one who is abominable and corrupt, A man who drinks iniquity like water!
[69] 1John1:1 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life (and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us);
[70] John20:27 Then he said to Thomas, "Reach here your finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side. Don't be unbelieving, but believing."
[71] Rom.16:25 Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past, but now is manifested, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, [leading] to obedience of faith;
[72] Rom.3:1 Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision? Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the oracles of God.
[73] Luke24:25 He said to them, "Foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Didn't the Christ have to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?" Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
[74] Matt.24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
[75] John10:34 Jesus answered them, "Isn't it written in your law, 'I said, you are gods?' If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can't be broken),
[76] 1Kin.19:11 He said, Go forth, and stand on the mountain before Yahweh. Behold, Yahweh passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before Yahweh; but Yahweh was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but Yahweh was not in the earthquake: and after the earthquake a fire; but Yahweh was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. It was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. Behold, there came a voice to him, and said, What are you doing here, Elijah?
[77] 1Kin.18:37 Hear me, Yahweh, hear me, that this people may know that you, Yahweh, are God, and [that] you have turned their heart back again. Then the fire of Yahweh fell, and consumed the burnt offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, Yahweh, he is God; Yahweh, he is God.
[78] Num.12:6 He said, Hear now my words: if there be a prophet among you, I Yahweh will make myself known to him in a vision, I will speak with him in a dream. My servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all my house: with him will I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the form of Yahweh shall he see: why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?
[79] 1Cor.12:4 Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord. There are various kinds of workings, but the same God, who works all things in all. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all. For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; to another faith, by the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, by the same Spirit; and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; to another different kinds of languages; and to another the interpretation of languages. But the one and the same Spirit works all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.
[80] 1Cor.12:31 But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you. 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.
[81] Heb.1:1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
[82] 1Pet.1:8 whom not having known you love; in whom, though now you don't see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory --
[83] Is.46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; [I am] God, and there is none like me; declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not [yet] done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure;
[84] 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;
[85] Rom.9:19 You will say then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?" 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?
[86] Eph.3:2 if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you; how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words, by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;
[87] 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?
[88] 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."
[89] 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.
[90] 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,
[91] 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.
[92] 1John1:1 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life (and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us);
[93] Matt.5:17 "Don't think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn't come to destroy, but to fulfill.
[94] John8:29 He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."
[95] Matt.4:10 Then Jesus said to him, "Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.'"
[96] 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.'
[97] 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.
[98] 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
[99] 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.
[100] Ps.50:9 I have no need for a bull from your stall, Nor male goats from your pens. For every animal of the forest is mine, And the cattle on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell you, For the world is mine, and all that is in it.
[101] Prov.30:15 "The leach has two daughters: 'Give, give.' "There are three things that are never satisfied; Four that don't say, 'Enough:' Sheol, the barren womb; The earth that is not satisfied with water; The fire that doesn't say, 'Enough;'
[102] Matt.13:15 For this people's heart has grown callous, Their ears are dull of hearing, They have closed their eyes; Or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, Hear with their ears, Understand with their heart, And should turn again; And I would heal them.' "But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
[103] Titus3:3 For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
[104] 1John2:15 Don't love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love isn't in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn't the Father's, but is the world's.
[105] 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.
[106] 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. But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.
[107] 1Cor.3:9 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's farming, God's building.
[108] 1John4:19 We love Him, because he first loved us.
[109] John14:15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
[110] 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.
[111] 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.
[112] Rom.1:24 Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
[113] 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;
[114] Rom.8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace; because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.
[115] 1Cor.15:45 So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
[116] Gen.2:23 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."
[117] Gen.3:6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit of it, and ate; and she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate.
[118] 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;
[119] 1Cor.7:1 Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman. But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. Let the husband render to his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. The wife doesn't have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise also the husband doesn't have authority over his own body, but the wife. Don't deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn't tempt you because of your lack of self-control. But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
[120] Col.3:19 Husbands, love your wives, and don't be bitter against them.
[121] Eph.5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;
[122] 1Cor.7:9 But if they don't have self-control, let them marry. For it's better to marry than to burn.
[123] Prov.5:18 Let your spring be blessed. Rejoice in the wife of your youth. A loving hind and a pleasant doe -- Let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Be captivated always with her love. For why should you, my son, be captivated with an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another?
[124] 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.
[125] 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. Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
[126] Gal.3:22 But the Scriptures shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, shut up to the faith which should afterwards be revealed. So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
[127] Deut.4:24 For Yahweh your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.
[128] 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."
[129] 2Cor.5:14 For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died. He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
[130] 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.
[131] Eph.1:7 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;
[132] 1Cor.2:7 But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds to our glory, which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory.
[133] Rom.5:8 But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
[134] Gen.20:4 Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, "Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation? Didn't he tell me, 'She is my sister?' She, even she herself said, 'He is my brother.' 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.
[135] Is.48:18 Oh that you had listened to my commandments! then had your peace been as a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea:
[136] Jer.2:19 Your own wickedness shall correct you, and your backsliding shall reprove you: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and a bitter, that you have forsaken Yahweh your God, and that my fear is not in you, says the Lord, Yahweh of Hosts.
[137] Jer.1:5 Before I formed you in the belly I knew you, and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.
[138] Rom.9:17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be published abroad in all the earth." So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
[139] Eph.5:31 "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh." This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.
[140] 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.
John19:33 but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they didn't break his legs. However one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
[141] Acts20:28 Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.
[142] 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.

[144] Matt.5:21 "You have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'You shall not murder;' and 'Whoever shall murder shall be in danger of the judgment.' But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment; and whoever shall say to his brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council; and whoever shall say, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.
[145] 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,
[146] John15:12 "This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you. 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.
[147] John7:38 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water." But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn't yet glorified.
[148] Ps.139:16 Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there were none of them.
[149] 1Pet.1:19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, the blood of Christ; who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed at the end of times for your sake,
[150] 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; having predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
[151] Prov.16:4 Yahweh has made everything for its own end -- Yes, even the wicked for the day of evil.
[152] Prov.8:17 I love those who love me. Those who seek me diligently will find me.
[153] John14:12 Most assuredly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these will he do; because I am going to my Father.
[154] 1John5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
[155] Jer.1:5 Before I formed you in the belly I knew you, and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.
[156] 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.
[157] 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.
[158] Rom.8:19 For the creation waits with eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.
[159] 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.
[160] Rom.10:11 For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be put to shame." For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him.
[161] John6:37 All those who the Father gives me will come to me. Him who comes to me I will in no way throw out.
[162] 1Tim.5:24 Some men's sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later. In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can't be hidden.
[163] Rom.6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
[164] 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.
[165] Is.65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, says Yahweh.
[166] Gen.2:1 The heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. On the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
[167] Is.55:11 so shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
[168] Rom.5:8 But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
[169] Luke23:34 Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing." Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.
[170] 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?
[171] 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.
[172] Phil.2:8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
[173] 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.
[174] Is.9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be on his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
[175] Deut.21:23 his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him the same day; for he who is hanged is accursed of God; that you don't defile your land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance.
[176] Gen.2:15 Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
[177] John8:34 Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
[178] 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;
[179] 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.
[180] Ps.50:9 I have no need for a bull from your stall, Nor male goats from your pens. For every animal of the forest is mine, And the cattle on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell you, For the world is mine, and all that is in it.
[181] Gen.18:24 What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are therein? Be it far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, that so the righteous should be as the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn't the Judge of all the earth do right?"
[182] Heb.1:2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.
[183] Heb.1:10 And, "You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands. They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does. As a mantle you will roll them up, And they will be changed; But you are the same. Your years will not fail." But of which of the angels has he said at any time, "Sit at my right hand, Until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?"
[184] Matt.8:26 He said to them, "Why are you fearful, oh you of little faith?" Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm. The men marveled, saying, "What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
[185] Ps.8:4 What is man, that you think of him? The son of man, that you care for him? For you have made him a little lower than God, And crowned him with glory and honor. You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet: All sheep and oxen, Yes, and the animals of the field, The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, And whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
[186] Rom.6:16 Don't you know that to whom you present yourselves as servants to obedience, his servants you are whom you obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
[187] John8:28 Jesus therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things. He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."
[188] Matt.12:28 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come on you.
[189] 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.
[190] 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
[191] 1John3:8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
[192] John12:19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him."
[193] John19:10 Pilate therefore said to him, "Aren't you speaking to me? Don't you know that I have power to release you, and have power to crucify you?" Jesus answered, "You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin."
[194] Rev.16:2 The first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth, and it became a harmful and evil sore on the men who had the mark of the beast, and who worshiped his image. The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man. Every living thing in the sea died. The third poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of water, and it became blood.
[195] Gen.18:24 What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are therein? Be it far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, that so the righteous should be as the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn't the Judge of all the earth do right?"
[196] Job1:11 But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face." Yahweh said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your power. Only on himself don't put forth your hand." So Satan went forth from the presence of Yahweh.
[197] Ezek.28:15 You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you. By the abundance of your traffic they filled the midst of you with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I have cast you as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I have cast you to the ground; I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.
[198] 2Thess.2:6 Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season. For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.
[199] 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?
[200] Josh.6:26 Joshua charged them with an oath at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before Yahweh, that rises up and builds this city Jericho: with the loss of his firstborn shall he lay the foundation of it, and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.
[201] 1Kin.22:19 [Micaiah] said, Therefore hear you the word of Yahweh: I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left. Yahweh said, Who shall entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? One said on this manner; and another said on that manner. There came forth a spirit, and stood before Yahweh, and said, I will entice him. Yahweh said to him, 'How?' He said, 'I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' He said, 'You shall entice him, and shall prevail also: go forth, and do so.'
[202] John19:10 Pilate therefore said to him, "Aren't you speaking to me? Don't you know that I have power to release you, and have power to crucify you?" Jesus answered, "You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin."

[204] Matt.10:29 "Aren't two sparrows sold for an assarion? Not one of them falls on the ground apart from your Father's will,

[351] 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. Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

[367] 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."

[374] Acts5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.

[378] Luke24:44 He said to them, "This is what I told you, while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me must be fulfilled."

And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you sow in the field: and the feast of harvest, at the end of the year, when you gather in your labors out of the field. Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yahweh.
[442] 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."
[443] 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
[444] 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.
[445] Rev.10:7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as he declared to his servants, the prophets.
[446] Heb.11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
[447] Acts2:36 "Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified." Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"
[448] Col.2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in eating, or in drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day, which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ's.
[449] 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, saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded toward you." Moreover he sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry in like manner with the blood. 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.
[450] Gen.22:12 He said, "Don't lay your hand on the boy, neither do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me." Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
[451] Matt.12:5 Or have you not read in the law, that on the Sabbath day, the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are guiltless? But I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.
[452] Heb.9:13 For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh: how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
[453] 2Cor.3:3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.
[454] Heb.11:4 By faith, Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God bearing witness with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks.
[455] 1John3:4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
[456] 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.
[457] Rom.13:10 Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
[458] 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.
[459] 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.
[460] Rom.13:10 Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
[461] 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.
[462] 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.
[463] 2Cor.5:14 For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died. He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
[464] 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. 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.
[465] Rom.5:8 But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
[466] 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.
[467] 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.
[468] Is.9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be on his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on the throne of David, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even forever. The zeal of Yahweh of Hosts will perform this.
[469] 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;
[470] 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.
[471] John15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
[472] 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.
[473] 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.
[474] 1John3:16 By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
[475] Is.14:12 How you are fallen from heaven, day-star, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; and I will sit on the mountain of congregation, in the uttermost parts of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.
[476] John8:44 You are of your Father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn't stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it.
[477] 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."
[478] 2Pet.2:4 For if God didn't spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved to judgment;
[479] Acts2:30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne, he foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was his soul left in Hades, nor did his flesh see decay. This Jesus God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
[480] Phil.2:6 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider it robbery to be equal with God, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
[481] Rev.3:21 He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.
[482] Heb.10:13 from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.
[483] Rom.8:19 For the creation waits with eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.
[484] 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;
[485] 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.
[486] 1Cor.15:54 But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: "Death is swallowed up in victory." "Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
[487] 1John3:8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
[488] 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.
[489] 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 --
[490] Eph.3:9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ; to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord;
[491] 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.
[492] Rev.10:7 but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as he declared to his servants, the prophets.
[493] Hos.4:1 Hear the word of Yahweh, you children of Israel; For Yahweh has a charge against the inhabitants of the land: "Indeed there is no truth, Nor goodness, Nor knowledge of God in the land. There is cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery; They break boundaries, and bloodshed causes bloodshed. Therefore the land will mourn, And everyone who dwells therein will waste away. All living things in her, Even the animals of the field and the birds of the sky; Yes, the fish of the sea also die.
[494] 1Cor.8:6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
[495] Eph.4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all.
[496] Col.3:11 where there can't be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.
[497] Rom.8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
[498] 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.'
[499] Jer.23:23 Am I a God at hand, says Yahweh, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? says Yahweh. Don't I fill heaven and earth? says Yahweh.
[500] James3:2 For in many things we all stumble. If anyone doesn't stumble in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.
[501] Neh.2:4 Then the king said to me, For what do you make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven.
[502] Heb.6:16 For men indeed swear by a greater one, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation. In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath; that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.
[503] 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."
[504] Rev.15:7 One of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever. 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.
[505] 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."
[506] Jer.29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end.
[507] Gal.2:20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.
[508] 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."
[509] Gen.2:1 The heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. On the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
[510] Phil.2:6 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider it robbery to be equal with God,
[511] Eph.4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all.
[512] Col.3:11 where there can't be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.

[514] Col.1:16 For by him were all things created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
[515] Jer.23:23 Am I a God at hand, says Yahweh, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? says Yahweh. Don't I fill heaven and earth? says Yahweh.
[516] Rom.8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
[517] Job11:7 "Can you fathom the mystery of God? Or can you probe the limits of the Almighty? They are high as heaven. What can you do? Deeper than Sheol: what can you know?
[518] Job38:4 "Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding.

[521] John14:7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and have seen him." Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us." Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, 'Show us the Father?'
[522] 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.
[523] Luke10:21 In that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, "I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight." Turning to the disciples, he said, "All things have been delivered to me from my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him."
[524] Is.40:15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are accounted as the small dust of the balance: Behold, he takes up the isles as a very little thing. Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the animals of it sufficient for a burnt offering. All the nations are as nothing before him; they are accounted by him as less than nothing, and vanity.
[525] Rom.10:13 For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved." How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?
[526] Rom.5:8 But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
[527] Is.29:7 The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, shall be as a dream, a vision of the night. It shall be as when a hungry man dreams, and, behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against Mount Zion.
[528] Rom.12:3 For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.https://youtu.be/AupisuARmgQ?feature=shared
