""These six things doth theLordhate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:/A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,/An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,/A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren." (Pr.6:16-19). Each characteristic is an abomination so when he becomes the champion of the Christian groups be it Evangelical or Baptist or any other, one begins to understand the depths of the apostate church covers. Never mind the Lord God is in control. The Beast has seven heads so whichever the wind turns he is up to do the bidding of Satan. His 10 horns indicate his ability to disregard the law of the land. But his ten crowns tell that he is already judged.
"And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority."(v.2)
Part two: The necessity of Satan in God's Master Plan
We often think of how messed up things are since the time of the fall of man; but don't consider the beginning when "all the sons of God sang for joy" and the reason Lucifer himself was created and ultimately fell. One thing common to Adam and Eve as well as Lucifer is that although they were created perfectly in right standing with God and without sin they had the POTENTIAL to fail.
That is interesting to consider since we were created eternal beings; in regard to the Tree of Life for instance which would have placed us in a situation where we would never die physically but also could disregard anything better. In His Providence the Lord allowed Lucifer to fall and didn't have a remedy for him as he did for man as we see the laments in Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28. This didn't mean there wasn't some sadness as the dirge in these verses indicates when it describes how far he fell and his final end.
Again looking at Adam and Eve if they could live forever physically then in some sense death would never take them out or perhaps lead them to hell; at the very least they would live on earth until the judgment and could very easily decide it is worth living in sin with such a delay in final judgment (or the first death as opposed to the second death currently for the wicked who must die physically). It also seems that the tree of life bringing healing to the nations is designed for an eternal glorified body so not suitable for fallen man (that ostensively could get a free pass from eternal punishment as well). In any case Christ offers something better; death came upon all so that eternal life could be so much better spiritually as well as with a glorified body suitable for heaven. In the battles of life we can be united with the victor and winner of the war (Christ); or continue to be associated with the usurper (Satan) who has temporary leadership on earth. Without struggle there would be no reward.
"And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy."
In this context we need keep in mind where the Lord God has his throne set up. He is seated over the floods. So the beast the epitome of blasphemy does not represent all nations. It is a wicked and tumultuous sea nevertheless. (Is.55:20) What are the wicked all worked up. In Ps.59 we have some clues. They are ungodly to be called heathen because they hold truth in unrighteousness. They are workers of iniquity. the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.The Psalmist prays, "And save me from bloody men./For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord."(Ps.59:2-3) Obviously culture wars are not personal but demonizing man created in 'our image" because of color or their creed. They make a noise like a dog while they take out torchligh parade. "Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?/But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision."(59:5-8) The Bible is not talking about past or future but what is in the divine Will of the Father, which is in the now. "He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision./ Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure." The Lord knows what is their worth, so low that God has them is utter contempt. Satan has found the son of perdition to further his agenda. It is thus the beast makes his entry into the world stage.
He has seven heads signifying seven abominations rule the roost where each is inimical to the holiness of God. ""These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him" (Pr.6:16-19)
Much can be said about today's music and entertainment industry as to how they mock God. In all of this we can tend to ignore the passage in Jude 1:9 where slander against Satan himself by Michael the Archangel was not proclaimed; there was an appeal to the Lord to rebuke him. If that is the case for an Archangel surely it should be the case for us. Yet many wish to mock Satan as well to their own detriment.
This statement is by no means; of course to suggest that we should worship the Devil. We simply cannot fight against an enemy who is vastly superior to us any other way; and the verse Luke 14:31 demonstrates this principle fighting against an army of superior manpower. This is why deliverance ministers that implore a demon to "go to hell" are clearly unscriptural (or else if true by now there wouldn't be any left to possess and oppress men). Satan is not ruling in hell; or in hell currently as that is the place where he will suffer eternally himself. God has; however given him a sort of usurper role at present where he is given an army of principalities and powers to rule over regions of the earth as many verses in Daniel indicate. Demons are also under his rule; likely disembodied spirits from the offspring of Nephilim it would seem. Jesus and the prophets never went after these principalities ruling over nations; but cast out devils living inside individuals. Again Daniel shows how in Daniel 10:13 Micheal fought against a principality for 21 days before his prayers could be answered. We don't often think of that being an issue with prayers being answered but should consider such things.
From the outset let me say that no amount of dissertation can help answer all of the questions we as mere mortals can ask regarding the state of suffering we must endure in a fallen world or fully comprehend the reasons God allowed it in His sovereignty and Master plan. The sufferings of Christ are the prime example.
Hebrews 11:1 states: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." In my last post I discussed the concept of repentance and that it isn't something we merely learn by our own wisdom or intuition but that it is a gift from God as many scriptures state. 2 Timothy 2:25 as well as scriptures in Acts; 2 Peter and Romans show how repentance is granted or given by the Lord. As stated in my earlier comments no contrition on our part is able to save us. This is not to say; however that the admonition in Romans 6:1-2 isn't pertinent; we shouldn't seek to sin more for more grace. Our testimony should come from a genuine admission of realization of our state before salvation. We realize that we are no better than a murderer; adulterer or any other sinner that is repugnant to society at large. Of course our NATURE has to be understood; or else we are as Judas Iscariot did just sorry for our actions rather than realizing the cause is a rotten heart needing to die to itself and be rebirthed. Peter had a downfall and Thomas doubted but they recognized the Lord when He made Himself known to them.
My earlier statements should by no means detract from the importance of emulating external actions which are outflows of GOOD FRUIT in our lives. 1 Corinthians 11:1 (easy to memorize with this numbering) gives Paul's exhortation to imitate him as he imitates Christ. Demonstrations of such behaviors are much like a parent to a child in this case. How we need such examples in church leadership today! How many of these mega pastors live even close to Paul who would work for himself so as not to burden the churches and suffer as he did with deprivation and imprisonment for the cause of Christ?
We are not to idolize people but those of Godly character should motivate us; and also bring the fear of the Lord and His holiness to unbelievers as Paul did with the prison guard ( Acts 16:30-33). Our lifestyles must back up our words.
lord God thank you for a new Year ,dear God i need your help,im at the deportation comp in Germany,please i need your help in the name of JESUS.......amen
This life, which had been the tomb of his virtue and of his honour, is but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
(MacBeth; William Shakesphere 5th Act).
This quote is in the play regards the death of MacBeth's wife. There are shades of Ecclesiastes here of vanity and life passing as a vapor; but also the idea of the second part of this verse in 2 Corinthians 7:10...
"For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death." This verse shows the futility of those who; like Judas Iscariot regret the consequences of their sin; whether on themselves ultimately or how it affects others (in his case leading to suicide). We can see the same sort of mindset with Pilate who in John 19:11 was told that others had greater sin but nonetheless his attempts to release him were not out of reverence for His holiness but attempts to quell extremes of rebellion from both the Jews and the Romans in making a wrong decision. Ultimately; both these cases show cowardice which is one reason people will go to hell according to Revelation 21:8.
We shouldn't assume that emotion shouldn't accompany true repentence leading to salvation but that it is the Spirit which takes over and the emotions are part of a cleansing process. When given a new heart we are transformed from the inside out and can't help but cry out to God; as Isaiah did "woe is me" ( Isaiah 6:5). This shows the humble and contrite spirit David describes in Psalm 51 and elsewhere. Penitence from any other method assuming some goodness we have in ourselves apart from Christ is meaningless. This is what makes those from a Christian family background have to test themselves to see if they are in the faith ( 2 Cor. 13:5). We can't change our hearts from mere assent of doctrinal statements or scripture. More to come.
"And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book...that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them. " (17:18-19). Moses was in fact referring to the coming of their king who however would not need a nation per se that was not upright in their heart. For this reason Jesus before Pilate declares, "My kingdom is not of this world."( John 18:36)
In his lament over Jerusalem he gives us a reason why. Their love of God was as superficial as their kingdom, which would not endure. "Behold, your house is left unto you desolate"(Matt.23:38)
To recap: The fifth of the Pentateuch matches with the Book of Psalms, also in five fold divisions. The Spirit uses numbers as tags to indicate the word of God is as much essential for the inner man as is for a child of God to be perfected. (See entry under N-Numbers/Five)
The fifth book in the Pentateuch in Hebrew, like the preceding books, it takes its name from its commencement, 'These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness,' The rabbinical text would have it as Sepher Debarim, the book of debarim, or the book of the words. The book is considered as the second law or Deuteronomion.
"According unto all that the Lord had given him in commandment unto them,"(De.1:3) we have in three discourses delivered by Moses shortly before his death, the second Law to which we shall come anon. Three discourses and three appendices, namely the Song of Moses (De.37:1-47) Blessings (De.33) His death and aftermath, are alike stapled together by the command number Three and it refers to the Son.
As Moses serving as the double for the Son we have the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew. Interestingly enough in the Lucan gospel the setting for the sermon is on the plains.( Luke 6:17)
(See entry under B-Beatitudes)
"When thou art come unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me." (De.17:14-15) The Spirit refers to the possibility of people of Israel opting for a king over them 'like as all the nations' that are about them. In such a case a second law is to be given to the future king. We see this fulfilled but in the manner Jesus avoided those who by force would make him a king ( John 6:15). It just goes on to show that the Law given by Moses was inadequate. In Jesus was the fulfilment of the Law. God had set a Day by decree for his Son (Ps.2:7) and he was content to abide by his Will.
What Moses intended with the second law, for their king as the history of Israel would show was like a kingdom built upon sand.
Kindly my fellow christians,i'm really suffering financially
i therefore request for your prayers.( james 5:16)
pray that god may finance my studies at tertiary level.through your effective fervent prayers the almighty will create a way from the 'sea of lack'.may god bless you all in jesus name...
After creating man God blessed them:" And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth" (Ge.1:28)", "Be fruitful" was a divine command.
(See under A-Abstract)
In the Parable of the Barren Fig Tree "Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?"( Luke 13:7). The Spirit refers to the Son with the number Three. The parable therefore is about believers, which are unproductive. The fig tree unable to produce fruits of the Spirit represents them.
In the Parable of the Sower birds eat up some seeds falling on the wayside, and some are unfruitful owing to the condition of the ground. The evil one is the destroyer that can prevent the word of God from becoming fruitful. The same destroyer is the enemy who scatters tares in a field while men slept. Deceitful riches can choke the heart, which is compared to a field. Jesus Christ was manifested to destroy the works of the devil.( 1 John 3:8)
Satan is the destroyer, whose deceit upset the order that God had created for Adam. He is also a thief who dares not come by the door. For this reason he beguiled Eve through a serpent. "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy."( John 10:10,1)
Please pray for healing for my backsliding and body. Please pray The LORD helps me through the trials I am going through and that He protects me and delivers me from the wiles of the devil and my enemies. Please pray that their counsel and schemes are exposed and confounded. Please pray that The LORD provides for all of my spiritual, material, financial needs. Please pray The LORD gives me the victory of the world, the flesh, sin, my enemies, and Satan.

I knew about this organization through following the King James Bible Facebook page and that has been a follower for close to 10 years now
I appreciate the Bible verses that are posted on the page and the way fellow Christians comment and give insight and clarity on some verses that seems hard to understand their meaning
It is on that note that I would like to request if there is any Prayer and Fellowship Groups that I can join preferably on WhatsApp?
I would also like to send a prayer request for financial breakthrough and spiritual growth
My life has been constantly stagnant in those aspects and I feel the need for serious prayers
I hope and Pray that everyone who will come across this Prayer request intercedes on my behalf in Jesus Mighty name
"And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions." (Matt.22:46)
Here we see the fulfillment of the word of God. In continuation with the blossoming of Aaron's rod we shall examine the verse, "And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not."Nu.17:10) God had earlier said why he was setting the rod of Aarons against others. " And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you." The man whom I shall choose" can only in obedience to the MOU in the Abstract considering 'the fruit in itself'. The point is to put to silence whosoever murmured against Moses. The quote from St Matthew is confirmation of the word of God. God had laid out the principle of the seed in itself and the fruit bearing tree being representative of the divine Will. This is Jesus Christ the Word become flesh. In short Moses is a double for the Son.
"And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds."(17:8).The Aaron's rod blossoming was signal for resurrection power of God and his word. If we are planted by God and abiding in him the day of regeneration shall show the seed was 'itself'. John 15:3 The will of God shall be fulfilled by the Son. Putting date for his coming and all such nonsense as misguided preachers put out are not from God. Now is the day of salvation where only two components exist: the word of God to which the determine Will and as fulfilled in the Son by whosoever abides in him in faith. This is faith with works.
"He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end."(Ec.3:11)
No man can find out the mind of God to control time. Only from the work of God one can make sense. This work of God is to believe Jesus Christ. "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."( John 6:28-29). When Jesus said "I am the resurrection, and the life." ( John 11:25,26) Martha had no understanding to connect this directly to the Son of man but Jesus corrects her and admit it was so."Believest thou this?" In this context what does the budding of Aaron's rod signify? Who shall serve God is it Levi, Israel as a nation or Jesus Christ the Word become flesh? "and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds."(Nu.17:8,2) The Word of God decreed the day of salvation in his Son.(Ps.2:6-8) This is the Will of God so in the Abstract we have the MOU between God and Man. "and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so." Moses wrote the name of Levi as commanded by God. 'The seed in itself' is indicative it is the word of God is going to work in this test. The work of God according the quote from JohnCh.6 flowering of the rod in a proof of Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever. (He.13:8)The rod flowered according to the divine Will. Time is of no consequence.
Which came first: chicken or egg? The divine Will is omnipotence. Accordingly the word of God supplied all the information so we are to accept both as one, as the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind. The world of blackholes prove information cannot be lost. neither can the word of God. We deceived ourselves to think atom bombs would stop the WWII We did not even imagine the name North Korea then. It just proves.
The Spirit as always the case is prefaces the day with the term 'behold' and it is not simply the matter of seeing. It is seeing as intended by God. Its relevance is backed by the word of God. We hear with our ears but in order to understand what we hear is not in the ear itself but elsewhere in our brain. We need not go into neuroscience but to our purpose we treat the word of God as a sound as well as it is a sign.It explains us to under the aspect of time. "Now" is not simply as we count earth time but as determined by God who is Omnipresent . It is how He treats time as determined by the Will. "For I am the Lord I change not"(Mal.3:6). When God called us it was according to his Son and what does the everlasting covenant mean but a day decreed for him. This is the day of Salvation St Paul speaks about. This period of time is the now in God's will. If we have heard the call it means that at a point of time we heard and we responded to it. St Paul was on his way to Damascus when he heard it and we all similarly heard it in time and place, but no matter our time got entangled with the will of God. That is the element of time 'Now' St Paul talks about.
Isaiah gave King Hezekiah a sign. "And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?"(2 Ki.20:9,11) It happened as the king asked. We treat time as linear but God deals with His will according to the Law, the eternal word (Ps.119:89). For example, How Israel responded to Hamas on Oct.7 was tit for tat. But what is happening with the Houthis about Yemen, nobody foresaw it. This is how our calculations time-motion analysis go wrong. In short we deceive ourselves when we base our decisions outside the will of God.
Dear Jehovah God, I'm asking that you please help rescue me from my substance addiction problem and restore me to sanity and from homelessness; for I do believe that you have kept me and still have me on this earth for a significant reason. Please do open my eyes that I see that purpose and live to serve it, for I'm hopeless yet you find and give me strength and a reason to live. I ask this through your Son my lord and savior Christ Jesus.
I am requesting prayer for a new job. So that I can be a blessing to my family and wife. Also that I would have sufficient to share. Give my life a new beginning. In Jesus name amen.

(Pr.6:16-19). Each characteristic is an abomination so when he becomes the champion of the Christian groups be it Evangelical or Baptist or any other, one begins to understand the depths of the apostate church covers.

They are workers of iniquity. the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.The Psalmist prays, "And save me from bloody men./For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord."(Ps.59:2-3) Obviously culture wars are not personal but demonizing man created in 'our image" because of color or their creed. They make a noise like a dog while they take out torchligh parade. "Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?/But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision."(59:5-8) The Bible is not talking about past or future but what is in the divine Will of the Father, which is in the now.

The Lord knows what is their worth, so low that God has them is utter contempt. Satan has found the son of perdition to further his agenda. It is thus the beast makes his entry into the world stage.

"And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book...that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them. " (17:18-19). Moses was in fact referring to the coming of their king who however would not need a nation per se that was not upright in their heart. For this reason Jesus before Pilate declares, "My kingdom is not of this world."( John 18:36)
In his lament over Jerusalem he gives us a reason why. Their love of God was as superficial as their kingdom, which would not endure. "Behold, your house is left unto you desolate"(Matt.23:38)
To recap: The fifth of the Pentateuch matches with the Book of Psalms, also in five fold divisions. The Spirit uses numbers as tags to indicate the word of God is as much essential for the inner man as is for a child of God to be perfected. (See entry under N-Numbers/Five)
(See entry under P- Psalms, The Book of)
The fifth book in the Pentateuch in Hebrew, like the preceding books, it takes its name from its commencement, 'These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness,' The rabbinical text would have it as Sepher Debarim, the book of debarim, or the book of the words. The book is considered as the second law or Deuteronomion.
"According unto all that the Lord had given him in commandment unto them,"(De.1:3) we have in three discourses delivered by Moses shortly before his death, the second Law to which we shall come anon. Three discourses and three appendices, namely the Song of Moses (De.37:1-47) Blessings (De.33) His death and aftermath, are alike stapled together by the command number Three and it refers to the Son.
As Moses serving as the double for the Son we have the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew. Interestingly enough in the Lucan gospel the setting for the sermon is on the plains.( Luke 6:17)
(See entry under B-Beatitudes)
"When thou art come unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me." (De.17:14-15) The Spirit refers to the possibility of people of Israel opting for a king over them 'like as all the nations' that are about them. In such a case a second law is to be given to the future king. We see this fulfilled but in the manner Jesus avoided those who by force would make him a king ( John 6:15). It just goes on to show that the Law given by Moses was inadequate. In Jesus was the fulfilment of the Law. God had set a Day by decree for his Son (Ps.2:7) and he was content to abide by his Will.
What Moses intended with the second law, for their king as the history of Israel would show was like a kingdom built upon sand.
i therefore request for your prayers.( james 5:16)
pray that god may finance my studies at tertiary level.through your effective fervent prayers the almighty will create a way from the 'sea of lack'.may god bless you all in jesus name...
After creating man God blessed them:" And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth" (Ge.1:28)", "Be fruitful" was a divine command.
(See under A-Abstract)
In the Parable of the Barren Fig Tree "Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?"( Luke 13:7). The Spirit refers to the Son with the number Three. The parable therefore is about believers, which are unproductive. The fig tree unable to produce fruits of the Spirit represents them.
In the Parable of the Sower birds eat up some seeds falling on the wayside, and some are unfruitful owing to the condition of the ground. The evil one is the destroyer that can prevent the word of God from becoming fruitful. The same destroyer is the enemy who scatters tares in a field while men slept. Deceitful riches can choke the heart, which is compared to a field. Jesus Christ was manifested to destroy the works of the devil.( 1 John 3:8)
Satan is the destroyer, whose deceit upset the order that God had created for Adam. He is also a thief who dares not come by the door. For this reason he beguiled Eve through a serpent. "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy."( John 10:10,1)
Thanks to those who prayed for our situation with house repairs and the insurance claim. We chose our contractor and have picked out the materials we wish to be installed to replace the damages. Please pray that there is not much delay in getting materials or in the availability of the workers.

I knew about this organization through following the King James Bible Facebook page and that has been a follower for close to 10 years now
I appreciate the Bible verses that are posted on the page and the way fellow Christians comment and give insight and clarity on some verses that seems hard to understand their meaning
It is on that note that I would like to request if there is any Prayer and Fellowship Groups that I can join preferably on WhatsApp?
I would also like to send a prayer request for financial breakthrough and spiritual growth
My life has been constantly stagnant in those aspects and I feel the need for serious prayers
I hope and Pray that everyone who will come across this Prayer request intercedes on my behalf in Jesus Mighty name
"And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions." (Matt.22:46)
Here we see the fulfillment of the word of God. In continuation with the blossoming of Aaron's rod we shall examine the verse, "And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not."Nu.17:10) God had earlier said why he was setting the rod of Aarons against others. " And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you." The man whom I shall choose" can only in obedience to the MOU in the Abstract considering 'the fruit in itself'. The point is to put to silence whosoever murmured against Moses. The quote from St Matthew is confirmation of the word of God. God had laid out the principle of the seed in itself and the fruit bearing tree being representative of the divine Will. This is Jesus Christ the Word become flesh. In short Moses is a double for the Son.
"And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds."(17:8).The Aaron's rod blossoming was signal for resurrection power of God and his word. If we are planted by God and abiding in him the day of regeneration shall show the seed was 'itself'. John 15:3 The will of God shall be fulfilled by the Son. Putting date for his coming and all such nonsense as misguided preachers put out are not from God. Now is the day of salvation where only two components exist: the word of God to which the determine Will and as fulfilled in the Son by whosoever abides in him in faith. This is faith with works.
"He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end."(Ec.3:11)
No man can find out the mind of God to control time. Only from the work of God one can make sense. This work of God is to believe Jesus Christ. "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."( John 6:28-29). When Jesus said "I am the resurrection, and the life." ( John 11:25,26) Martha had no understanding to connect this directly to the Son of man but Jesus corrects her and admit it was so."Believest thou this?" In this context what does the budding of Aaron's rod signify? Who shall serve God is it Levi, Israel as a nation or Jesus Christ the Word become flesh? "and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds."(Nu.17:8,2) The Word of God decreed the day of salvation in his Son.(Ps.2:6-8) This is the Will of God so in the Abstract we have the MOU between God and Man. "and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so." Moses wrote the name of Levi as commanded by God. 'The seed in itself' is indicative it is the word of God is going to work in this test. The work of God according the quote from JohnCh.6 flowering of the rod in a proof of Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever. (He.13:8)The rod flowered according to the divine Will. Time is of no consequence.
Which came first: chicken or egg? The divine Will is omnipotence. Accordingly the word of God supplied all the information so we are to accept both as one, as the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind. The world of blackholes prove information cannot be lost. neither can the word of God. We deceived ourselves to think atom bombs would stop the WWII We did not even imagine the name North Korea then. It just proves.
"Behold, now is the day of salvation.)"2 Co.6:2
The Spirit as always the case is prefaces the day with the term 'behold' and it is not simply the matter of seeing. It is seeing as intended by God. Its relevance is backed by the word of God. We hear with our ears but in order to understand what we hear is not in the ear itself but elsewhere in our brain. We need not go into neuroscience but to our purpose we treat the word of God as a sound as well as it is a sign.It explains us to under the aspect of time. "Now" is not simply as we count earth time but as determined by God who is Omnipresent . It is how He treats time as determined by the Will. "For I am the Lord I change not"(Mal.3:6). When God called us it was according to his Son and what does the everlasting covenant mean but a day decreed for him. This is the day of Salvation St Paul speaks about. This period of time is the now in God's will. If we have heard the call it means that at a point of time we heard and we responded to it. St Paul was on his way to Damascus when he heard it and we all similarly heard it in time and place, but no matter our time got entangled with the will of God. That is the element of time 'Now' St Paul talks about.
Isaiah gave King Hezekiah a sign. "And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?"(2 Ki.20:9,11) It happened as the king asked. We treat time as linear but God deals with His will according to the Law, the eternal word (Ps.119:89). For example, How Israel responded to Hamas on Oct.7 was tit for tat. But what is happening with the Houthis about Yemen, nobody foresaw it. This is how our calculations time-motion analysis go wrong. In short we deceive ourselves when we base our decisions outside the will of God.
