    John 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

    I'm confused about this scripture. We pray and hear from the Lord now. Does this mean we won't? Is the prince of the world referring to satan?
  • Richard H Priday on Psalms 13 - 1 year ago
    This is a very short Psalm. Nonetheless; we can ponder a theme here which is apparently a subject in the forefront of David's mind throughout the first section at least of Psalms; namely a petition for God to give him victory over his enemies and to heed to his sufferings.

    As with many of these inspired writings; we certainly can look at Christ as being prophetically referenced to here. We are reminded of Psalm 22; as well as the times when Christ Himself said "why have you foresaken me?" ( Matt. 27:46). There is ultimate trust in David in verse 5; which we can all cling onto. Only Christ had to have that unspeakable horror of God's mercy removed for that brief moment in time. Only Christ COULDN'T pray for salvation of His soul (unnecessary for a member of the deity). But only He could procure the punishment for our sin as an atonement; and hence WOULD not be released from being a sin offering as it was clearly part of God's plan for the redemption of man.

    We also are remined in Psalm 23:5 where a table is prepared in the presence of enemies. This could certainly apply to us; in the Millennium Kingdom as well as the Lord Himself when He rules with an iron rod. Any saint of God recognizes in general that they are in enemy territory lest they become too content in the world which is about to perish as it exists now in its fallen state under Satan's control. We are reminded of Christ's admonition to us that a servant is no greater than his master ( Jn. 13:16) and can truly understand we also will have trials as the Lord Himself was the "man of sorrows" ( iSAIAH 53:3). Man is but a vapor ( Romans 8:7 and mentioned further in Psalm 62:9; etal.

    Leviticus Chapter 4

    This Chapter discusses the procedures for the sin offering for various groups of people:

    The high priest

    The whole congregation

    The leader or ruler (prince or king in later times)

    A common Israelite

    The sacrifice is very similar to the offering for atonement in Chapter 1, but there are a few differences.

    In Chapter 1, the animal was skinned, not so in Chapter 4

    The animal could be cattle, sheep, goat, or birds in Chapter 1, but in chapter 4 the animal is either a young bullock (1-2 years old), or a male kid goat, or a female sheep.

    In Chapter 1, the blood was sprinkled at the door of the tabernacle of meeting, in Chapter 4, the blood is sprinkled before the veil that separated the holy place and the holy of holies. The priest is to dip his finger in the blood and apply it to the horns of the altar of incense seven times or to the horns of the altar of sacrifice.

    In Chapter 1 the animal sacrificed is to be burned completely on the altar until it is ashes. Like the peace offering in Chapter 3 the fat is burned on the altar of sacrifice, not the flesh and remainder of the animal in Chapter 4. Also, differing from the peace offering, in the sin offering, instead of the flesh being eaten in a fellowship meal, the whole carcass of the animal is taken by the priest outside of the camp to where the ashes from the altar of sacrifices are deposited and the animal is completely burned on wood on top of this heap of ashes.

    The first three offerings were voluntary, but the sin offering was compulsory.

    The first three offerings were a sweet aroma unto God. The sin offering was not.

    The word atonement is used for both the burnt offering in Chapter 1 and the sin offering in Chapter 4. Makes me wonder, does this word have different meanings in these two instances?

    These differences are a bit subtle and can be easily overlooked in reading through the chapters.

    So my thoughts on these differences will be given in the next post....

    Lies. No man/woman can heal the unclean. Every man/woman is unclean. They are clean only unto death! Who so much as speaketh a tide and tiddle, their words will fade, and no one in the future millennia will decipher. Bow now and down. You will not see the sun one day. Everything will be torn, disposed of. What will remain?
  • GiGi on Leviticus 2:12 - 1 year ago
    Leviticus Chapter 2

    ...continued.

    The Holy Spirit worked within the Israelites to help them complete the tabernacle. I believe it is most likely that He also enlightened them in understanding the significance and efficacy of these sacrifices and offerings. We just do not know for sure what these people experienced at that particular time. But God is good and works things for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. He had a purpose for this chosen nation. Salt, the preservative, the Holy Spirit, the Preserver, must have been working in this nation because if He was not, on their own humanness, their faith, zeal, and service to God would have diminished and eventually died out. But these were preserved in this nation until Christ came. And then these ordinances were no longer needed, since the Holy Spirit indwells all believers and brings about all that these ordinances brought to the believers. The Jewish nation rejected Jesus, their Messiah, so the Holy Spirit withdrew from them and their worship. And, then, in 66, 70 and 145 A.D. Jerusalem was completed taken over, ransacked, and razed by the Romans. Million + Jews were killed. Many fled the area. The Temple was burned and almost totally demolished (the wailing wall is all that is left).

    The temple services were stopped. The ordinances ceased since there was not longer a Tabernacle for them to be performed in.

    God's Presence was no longer among the Jews. Most of the Jews other tribes had been long scattered across the globe, preventing a centralized culture, religious life, and national identity of these people for almost 2 millennia. Even with the re-establishment of the nation of Israel in 1948, God has not necessarily renewed His favor nor Presence among these people.

    Though His Covenant will be fulfilled before the end of days, He has not worked among these people like He did in the days of Moses in the time between leaving Egypt and arriving at Canaan. Will He do so once again?
  • GiGi on Leviticus 2:12 - 1 year ago
    Leviticus Chapter 2

    In this chapter, Moses is given directions concerning non-flesh offerings. They are:

    fine flour, oil, and frankincense

    unleavened bread or wafers , oil, and frankincense

    fruits and vegetables, oil, and frankincense

    These are to be brought to the high priest. He takes some of the offering and offers it as a sacrifice. The rest is for Him and his sons to have for food.

    They are not to use leaven or honey in their bread. Most likely, the leaven stands for sin and the honey, worldly pleasure. God does not want any of these mixed in with our offerings to Him. We are told to examine ourselves before partaking of the Lord's Supper. We should ask God to show us sin that we are to confess and repent of. The Holy Spirit will help us when we ask this. We are to bring our offering with clean hands and hearts. We are to worship God without sensuality or with elements of the world. Reminds me of how much we pass off as worship in our church services and especially concerts have adopted the actions, atmosphere, and special effects of the secular music industry.

    We are also to purposely set aside some of what we have from our agriculture and from our kitchen for and offering to God. He does not need to eat. So, what is the purpose of offering food to Him? Perhaps it is that we are to be willing to part with some of what sustains us physically and trust that He will give us our "daily bread" both physically and spiritually.

    We are to bring enough to that the priests will have a goodly share for their sustenance. So, we should be willing to pay our pastors a worthy salary for their work for us.

    The oil, perhaps representing the faith (the ten virgins had oil in their lamps (faith) that the bridegroom would soon come). The offerings of the work of our hands is to be done in faith (that God is a rewarder of those who seek him in faith). Also, oil was used for anointing common things for holy use (set apart for God) So, the oil may represent this.

  • Fred - 1 year ago
    Why does Jesus use the number 10 in the parable of the ten virgins? Or , why does He use only 2 boys in the parable of the parodical Son?

    Could these be referring to the 10 tribes of Israel, while the parodical sons being the 2 tribes? Even so, it seems that the parables are a mirror in the things that concern the spiritual, while at the same time giving us insight of the future of the nation Israel. If these conclusions are true, what does it mean? The word is eternal when instructing us in the things of God, these things that pertain to both Jew and Gentile. Knowing these things ,the scriptures are a light unto our path, that we might grow thereby! Giving us more insight into the signs of the times!

    Even so, the use of wheat and oil, in the parable of the unjust steward, the word accusation from somewhere else, one would draw the conclusion that this parable is playing out right now in this time in the world. That the rich man is the nation Israel, while the stewards are those who are responsible for it. Those who have been accused of unfaithfulness, once again must call in all the loans proving once again ,these things that concern a nation that shall always be Gods chosen! The Nation Of the 10 that are missing and the two who are waiting! This the Nation under the hand of a loving God, the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ! When we see the things of God that are spoken of through Jesus, we see a God who is forever faithful unto His children! Repent and be Baptised

  • Ron Fidge on Daniel 7 - 1 year ago
    I am persuaded that Daniel seventh chapter is unfolding in front of us in this Year of 2022. Because, Daniel 8:17,when interpreted correctly States, "Oh Son of man for at the 'edge of time' the vision shall be. That is where we are today, very close to the end of time!(10yrs.?) Daniel's 7th chapter follows suit. "Four great beast rise up out of the sea, (of humanity). Dan.7:4, first is like a lion(USA), Eagles wings plucked,(our liberties are going). 2nd. A Bear, 'Russia' - "arise, devour (Destroy) much flesh", 'Today's war is the beginning of what Russia is to do, Vs.5.' Then Dan. 6&7, Leopard (China), also the only beast in Rev.13:1-5, A Leopard with Bear feet (USSR) & Lions mouth, USA= (Bill Gates?).
  • GiGi on Exodus 37 - 1 year ago
    Exodus Chapter 37

    In this chapter Bezalel was given the tasks of making all of the furnishings for the tabernacle in the fashion the LORD described to Moses on the mountain.

    Makes me wonder how did all of these things get transferred from place to place in the wilderness for 40 years. Did they have carts pulled by livestock for the wood, curtains, etc. I know the ark, and the altar were carried by poles inserted into rings. Did each tribe have a certain furnishing to transport or did just the Levites transport all of the things for the tabernacle and tent of meeting?

    There must have been lots of logistical instructions in this transport from place to place.
  • GiGi on Exodus 36:1 - 1 year ago
    Exodus Chapter 36

    This Chapter describes the curtains, siding boards, and roof of the tabernacle and tent of meeting as was described in previous chapters. Bezalel and Aholiab were specifically chosen by God, not men, to oversee and direct the work done for this place of meeting with YHWH. They were talented, naturally, but then given even more talent by God for this undertaking. Same is true of others who gladly submitted their talents to the work God asked them to do. It seems that the whole of Israel were very eager to give and to work on this project. Perhaps with God prohibiting them from making any image of Him to represent Him the Israelites were pleased to have something tangible to connect to YHWH. Whether or not this was thought as idolatry is unknown, but it may have made it seem like YHWH was more "real" to them in having a dwelling place for His Presence to reside with them.

    God is Spirit, in His essential nature, is not tangible, not made of matter, not corporeal . Throughout all of time, mankind has tried over and over again to represent God in ways they can see and touch. The concept of an invisible, transcendent, God is almost beyond our ability to apprehend. And, in the flesh we cannot apprehend God in truth. Mankind always ends up with an idol of some sort. But with the help of the Holy Spirit, the knowledge of God is given to us spiritually, because we are made spiritually alive and able to commune with Him as believers.

    It seems in that the Israelites gave to this work overflowingly. The leaders needed to tell them to stop bringing any more materials because they had enough to complete the projects and have plenty left over. So, they stopped the giving and got to work completing the tasks they each were given to do. This hilarious giving was impressive.

    I wonder, since God did not wish to have any image of Himself made by Israelites why He designed such a rich and elaborate tabernacle and its furnishings. Who did this satisfy?

  • GiGi on Exodus 35 - 1 year ago
    Exodus 35 continued.

    The Holy Spirit fills Bezalel with His Presence and with the wisdom, understanding, knowledge, skills, and ability to design and to teach others to perform all of these tasks. Bezalel was already a skilled craftsman, but God made sure that he had all the skills needed to be the one who superintended all of the workmanship done by many members of the tribe.

    God not only allowed the Israelites to have acquired all of the metals before leaving Egypt, but also supplied the wood and badgers from the wilderness and the goats and rams from their flocks, but also supernaturally supplied the skills and abilities to design, plan, teach, and execute the making of all the things for the tabernacle, tent of meeting, and priestly garments.

    This work seems to be quite monumental in scope. I wonder how long it took to complete everything? But I guess that there were over a million people, so with most of them doing tasks, it may have not taken very long. It is interesting that it seems that the Israelites were all of one mind and heart in this endeavor. This work must have been very unifying for them. A hands-on, practical way to work in one accord for the sake of YHWH. So much different than their work on the golden calf! God did not supernaturally help them with that! But with this work, He did give them over and above what they knew to do.

    This reminds me that when we are called to a certain aspect of ministry, it is amazing how God brings out of us so much more than what we normally possessed prior to this ministry. So glad He does this.
