Understanding Isaiah 65:17; will ignorance of the past prevail in the New Jerusalem?

Understanding Isaiah 65:17: “For behold, I create new heavens
and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered
or come into mind.”

Will ignorance of the previous 6000-years prevail in the New Jerusalem?

“I will remember their sins no more” (Jeremiah 31:34). That which “shall not be remembered” by Elohim is our sin, our failures, not the relevant lessons learned via experiential relevance concerning the horrors of sin and Satan’s dominion over evil.

We will remember the ravages of sin and its horror as the previous 6000-years of devastation authored by Satan will act as a bulwark against future rebellion in the Kingdom, for both the angelic and human creation, as free will remains extant by necessity. All that Elohim, this Earth and humanity have endured at the hands of Satan will not be in vain.

We will be forever reminded of sin’s horror and devastation as we personally witness the nail scarred hands and feet, the spear-pierced side, of our Messiah, Jesus Christ. These memories will not consume us, our tears will be wiped away by our Lord, as we will exist in peace with Elohim through our faith established in Messiah Jesus (Romans 5:1; Revelation 21:4) but our memories will glorify the One who created the unfathomable beauty of the New Jerusalem and made our presence there possible (1 Corinthians 2:9; John 3).

Our Creator’s selfless love demonstrated at Golgotha in response to the horrors of sin and disobedience will be remembered and glorified and honored through our loving obedience and worship of the One who suffered and died that we could live, eternally (Revelation 4:8-11). The redeemed will never forget.

In the beginning God created…why?

In the beginning God…why?

Causation for our entire creation is founded-rooted solely in Elohim’s response to a rebellious cherub angel and those who followed that angel in the Great War manifest in the Kingdom…a war that Elohim elected to remove from the Kingdom and place upon a temporary Earth to be dealt with apart from the Kingdom, a spiritual war partially constrained by Time and physics, thereby minimizing further defilement of purity and holiness, Elohim’s Kingdom where nothing impure is permitted to exist (Revelation 12; Ezekiel 28:11+; Isaiah 14; Luke 10:18; Luke 8:44; Ephesians 6; Revelation 21:27; John 18:36).

This spiritual war having manifest in the Kingdom is why the first created spiritual character introduced in the creation narrative is Satan, the old Serpent that deceives the whole World (Revelation 12:9; John 8:44) and this is why war between the Serpent and the Son, a Son manifesting from the seed of the woman, is declared in Genesis 3:15 and why the Gospel, as a divine battle strategy, is first pictured in Genesis 3:21 (redemption through the shedding of innocent blood and a robe of imputed righteousness denying the works of man’s hands relevant to righteousness, a right standing, with Elohim) and this is why the Adamic and Noahic generations were judged and eradicated due to satanic possession-influence thwarting Elohim’s eschatological plan and this is why Elohim began anew with Noah and set-apart a people group we know as Israel and this is why Messiah manifest in Time through Judah; specifically, “to destroy the works of the devil” via a battle strategy known as “The Gospel,” a battle strategy that was ordained “before Time began” (1 John 3:8b; 2 Timothy 1:8-10).

Therefore, had Satan not rebelled and introduced sin into the Kingdom, there would be no reason for Elohim to have created a physical realm, suffered a potentially rebellious and defiled human genome (Genesis 6) and there would be no reason that Elohim would have manifest in flesh and suffered and died in the presence of the faithful angelic creation simply to restore order and holiness and peace and dignity to His Kingdom. One of mankind’s greatest errors is a failure to recognize our “reason for being” and the very temporary nature of our existence in Time and Elohim’s eschatological purposes for same.

Letter of the Law v. Spirit of the Law?

Letter of the Law v. Spirit of the Law?

Those who live in Rabbinical obsession evidenced by touting the validity of Torah in the New Covenant cite the disparity of application relevant to the letter of the Law (adjudicatory elements codified/Holy Spirit’s intent) v. spirit of the Law (societal/Rabbinical consensus-interpretation-application).

For all intents and purposes, The letter of the Law/The spirit of the Law are no different in their application as they both condemn by defining the sin, rebelliousness, defilement, of humanity void recourse. No one is justified before our Holy God by the spirit of the law or the letter of the law (Romans 3:20); therefore, theologically speaking, no one is justified by vain attempts to keep either the letter or the spirit of the law but only by faith in the One who kept both the spirit and the letter of the law for us, Jesus Christ, who imputes HIS righteousness and justification over our lives by faith (John 3; 2 Corinthians 5:21); therefore, the letter of the law or the spirit of the law play no relevant role in the life of the redeemed in Jesus other than as a tutor to point us to our need for Messiah by faith (Galatians 3:24-27).

The mere presence of the spirit of law v. the letter of the law simply demonstrates the inefficiency of the law in that its veracity and adjudicatory intent is often negated by man’s propensity for obfuscation, rationalization, justification, in pursuit of narcissism; therefore, the sin-nature far too often makes impotent the spirit and letter of the law by means of obfuscation; hence, the infinite superiority of the indwelling Spirit working with the new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17) forming the new man and the new woman in preparation for an eternity of service in the New Jerusalem via the daily process of sanctification via the conscience, not letters that kill, curse, condemn (2 Corinthians 3:6; Galatians 3:10; Romans 3:20).

Commandment Keeping and the Apostle John, what’s up with that?

The Apostle John’s emphasis on Commandment Keeping, what’s up with that? 1 John 5:3

If one desires to honor the Commandments, they must walk in the Spirit, daily, via the conscience via sanctification thereby producing the “fruit of the Spirit” (Galatians 5:16-23). Walking in the Spirit is only possible by first entering into covenant relationship with the Father by faith in the Son, Jesus Christ and receiving the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor of that covenant (Ephesians 1:13-14).

The New Covenant has very little to do with Laws-ordinances-edicts of the Old Covenant e.g. the Torah, the Decalogue, and everything to do with the anointing of the Holy Spirit indwelling the faithful in Jesus and methodically walking them in the Father’s will as the Spirit intercedes in every minute decision life throws their way; this work of the Spirit being infinitely superior to chasing letters that kill and condemn via a sin-nature that could never please God or provide life through atonement (2 Corinthians 3:6).

You believe the Torah and Moses possess the words of LIFE when they simply provided a precursor to the Gospel of Messiah Jesus which proclaims LIFE by Grace through Faith not letters (John 3; 2 Corinthians 3:6). You represent a spiritual illness that cripples Judaism as a religion of works and futility, a religion that will result in an overwhelming number of Jacob’s children perishing in the “second death” in Hell due to unbelief in their Messiah, Yeshua; a spiritual and physical death resulting from a futile pursuit of self-righteousness through Law as opposed to grace through faith in Yeshua (Hebrews 8:7; Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27; Romans 10).

This same spiritual and physiological “second death” will manifest in the lives of far too many “Messianic” Jews and Israelite’s who profess a belief in Yeshua but depend upon their obedience to the Torah to justify them as opposed to faith in Yeshua as Messiah, alone (Galatians 3:1-3; Romans 3:20; Romans 10; Galatians 2:16).

In the Epistles of John and others, the Commandments are the subject of obedience as these were integral to a Covenant of Law provided specifically to Jacob’s children and sojourners with them, a Law Covenant that the audience to whom most of these Epistle were directed were intimately familiar but the substance and reality of obedience in the New Covenant is the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ezekiel 36:27) working through the conscience which is not only an infinitely superior form of behavioral modification but a form of angelic and human behavioral control that existed before Time as an arbiter of free will (Romans 2:14-15)…the natural-moral law within us that has now, in the New Covenant, been bolstered by the Spirit’s indwelling presence (Ephesians 1:13-14) matted with, combined with, the “new creation” in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17); this spiritual catalyst produces a superior form of obedience, behavioral modification, to that of a failed Law Covenant that pursued letters which condemned Israel’s children, including all of humanity residing in a defiled World pursuing gratification of the flesh as opposed to obedience to the Father’s will; the Father’s will is this: “to believe in the One He has sent” into the World to provide mediation, atonement, for our sin (John 6:29).

Hebrew Roots, Rabbinical Judaism and other such work cults or religions stubbornly kick against the goads in Rabbinical self-endowed spiritual arrogance and stubbornness and spiritual death and physiological death in Hell subsequent Judgment are the assured resultant.

Why does God infuse the Holy Spirit within those who trust in Jesus as Messiah?

Why does our Heavenly Father, by covenant promise, infuse His Holy Spirit into the heart of the redeemed in Messiah Jesus? (Ezekiel 36:27; Ephesians 1:13-14; Jeremiah 31:31-34; John 14:16-17)

The Law that is infused into the heart of the redeemed in Jesus Christ by covenant promise is the Holy Spirit who indwells them as Guarantor of Covenant Relationship, forever (Ephesians 1:13-14). The Holy Spirit takes the will of the Father and anoints the redeemed with wisdom and discernment which is exercised through the conscience via the daily process of sanctification (Galatians 5:16; John 14:26; 1 John 2:27).

The indwelling Holy Spirit makes the Father’s will understandable, applicable, and the Spirit intercedes in every single moral decision made by the redeemed in Christ, everyday, every second of the day (Galatians 5:16)…something the written code could never do as the written code does not address every moral decision encountered daily and the written code is subject to rationalization, obfuscation, by the sin-nature (Romans 8:1-8).

The Spirit’s anointing in the redeemed (2 Corinthians 5:17) working through the conscience is an infinitely superior form of behavioral modification over the Old Covenant’s written code that demanded perfection from the sin-nature that simply could not comply in mandated perfection (Romans 8:1-6; James 2:10; Galatians 3:10).

It is the indwelling Holy Spirit and His work of sanctification in the redeemed that prepares the faithful in Jesus for eternal service in the coming New Jerusalem, something the written code could never accomplish.

Why does God reject law-keeping as a path to righteousness?

Why does our Heavenly Father reject self-righteousness through attempts to keep the Law as a means of salvation? What has our Heavenly Father provided as an alternative?

First of all, God the Father warns us that from His vantage point of pure holiness and undefiled righteousness, our works of personal righteousness seeking God’s favor is likened to a “filthy garment,” putrid in smell and appearance (Isaiah 64:6). The Hebrew relevant to Isaiah 64:6 “iddim” (filthy), kat-ta-me (unclean), u-ke-be-ged (rags), actually denotes an unclean woman during menstruation; specifically, a bloody menstrual cloth…this defines the repulsiveness of a man or woman’s works of righteousness when performed in our flesh as opposed to the Holy Spirit’s guidance during the daily process of sanctification relevant to those redeemed by faith in Messiah Jesus (Galatians 5:16; Romans 7:6). Simply put, covenant relationship with our Holy God is NOT possible through human effort, period (Galatians 2:16; Romans 3:20; Ephesians 2:8-9).

Second, no one will be justified by the Law because the purpose of the Law is to arbitrate free will by defining our sin and convicting the conscience thereby promoting societal harmony and thwarting societal implosion/extinction via unrestrained narcissism (Romans 3:20). Law was and is given for the lawless, the undisciplined, the rebellious…law is not given for the righteous (1 Timothy 1:9).

Third, pursuing righteousness through Law-Keeping is not possible due to the sin-nature inherited from Adam (Romans 5:12; Romans 8:1-8) as the Law mandates absolute perfection (James 2:10) and all of humanity is cursed by the Law (Galatians 3:10; Deuteronomy 27:26) as all have sinned and fallen short of our Heavenly Father’s pure and righteous standard i.e. perfection (Romans 3:23; Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:10).

Fourth, the written code; the Law Covenant; Sinai’s Commandments; the 603 Mosaic Laws; the natural law of conscience (Romans 2:14-15), are simply insufficient in and of themselves to address every aspect of life where personal discernment and wisdom are called into play via a myriad of choices between good v. evil, right v. wrong, pleasing God v. sin. Law, the written code, is simply an insufficient entity to control behavior or define every nuance of daily discernment in our efforts to please God through obedience and Law is subjective, its elements open to interpretation and subject to obfuscation and rationalization by the sin-nature and man’s propensity for narcissism e.g. the pursuit of pleasing the flesh; therefore, our Heavenly Father, before Time began (2 Timothy 1:8-10), instituted the precepts of the Gospel via a future “New Covenant” where man’s relationship with God would be managed, controlled, methodically guided, by God the Holy Spirit who lives within, indwells, the faithful, the redeemed, in Messiah (Ezekiel 36:27; Jeremiah 31:33; Hebrews 10:16).

In accordance with the mandates of the New Covenant, the indwelling Holy Spirit daily walks the redeemed in obedience to the Father’s will through the conscience via sanctification; this, as the Holy Spirit prepares the redeemed for an eternity of service in the New Jerusalem. The unfathomable myriad of laws in the written code are managed by the Spirit who intercedes in the daily life of the redeemed by controlling the conscience via imputed wisdom and discernment apart from enslavement to the impotence and subjectivity of letters and the sin-nature (Romans 7:6).

The Holy Spirit’s internal work in the redeemed is an infinitely superior form of behavioral modification working through the “new creation” in Messiah (2 Corinthians 5:17) as opposed to the Old Law Covenant seeking obedience to a written code by a sin-nature that continuously failed to adhere to the mandates of absolute perfection (James 2:10; Galatians 3:10; Romans 8:1-8).

The only Alternative to the futility of seeking righteousness through Law,

As first pictured by the Holy Spirit in Genesis 3:21, it is Elohim HIMSELF who would provide humanity a “robe of righteousness” through the shedding of innocent blood while rejecting the works of man’s hands to cover his own sin through acts of self-righteousness.

The imputed righteousness of Elohim is defined, pictured, foreshadowed, throughout the Torah and the New Covenant and expressed explicitly in the Gospel of Jesus Christ which was ordained as Elohim’s battle strategy to “destroy the works of the Devil” (1 John 3:8b) “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10).

The righteousness provided by God the Father is not through the Law but is only attainable by grace (unmerited favor unattainable through human effort) through faith-trust-belief in the One the Father has sent into the World to provide blood atonement for our sin, Jesus Christ (John 3; John 6:29).

The Father has proclaimed ONE-WAY for sinful humanity to enter into an eternal covenant relationship with Him; that is, believe in the Son, Jesus Christ, and receive the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor of covenant relationship and LIVE (John 14:6; Ephesians 1:13-14) via the “imputed” righteousness, the gifted righteousness, of Jesus earned for us through His perfection in keeping the mandates of the Law and giving Himself as a blood sacrifice for our sin (John 3; 2 Corinthians 5:21).

Conclusion,

Elohim has made the sovereign choice to give Himself as a blood sacrifice for your sin; this, for His own glory in the presence of the holy angelic creation, and by faith the perfection, righteousness, of the Son, Jesus Christ, is imputed-gifted into the life of the one who believes that Jesus died for them; this, in exchange for our sin, forever (2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 8:12).

What the Law was powerless to do because it was weakened and nullified as a path to righteousness due to our sinful flesh, Elohim did through the appearing of the perfect, sinless, Son in flesh who has provided mandated blood atonement for the sin of the whole World (John 3: Hebrews 10; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 John 2:2).

State of the Union?

State of the Union?

America has been heading down the road of Marxism since 1880 and the Progressive insanity of John Dewey (the father of modern education)…the 60’s marked the point of no return with Engel v. Vitale (1962) and the infusion of Darwin into the “biological sciences” as “evolution” and a subtle form of Marx into revisionist history in the humanities along with the demonic perversion of Hollywood, the mainstream media, homosexuality (1973) and abortion that same year.

America surrendered her posterity to the demons of evolution and Marx 50+years ago and the fruition of that catastrophe is just now coming home to roost in DC and State Houses around the United States…we are no longer a free people served by a limited federal government under the auspices of a “Constitutional Republic”….we are serfs bent over by tyrants and CCP type authoritarianism is about to get very REAL in America.

Without another bloody civil war to once again thwart the demonic pursuits of the vile and perverse Democrat Party, America will die in immorality at the hands of Marx and Satan and our posterity will suffer horrifically…and…we have no one to blame but ourselves….both political parties in the United States are as useless as the tits on a boar hog. The Millennial and Gen-Z generations are defiled powder puffs ripe for Communism and the blame is squarely on the shoulders of the Boomers and the Communists we’ve voted into office to represent us.

The Self-Righteousness of Judaism, Cults, Sects, Islam, World Religions…

Self-Righteousness of Judaism, Cults, Sects, Islam, World Religions,

Quote from a stubborn, self-righteous, Judaizer on FB…

“Satan is so powerful. Obedience to God has now been entitiled [entitled or titled] as “Legalism” God have mercy.”

Christian rebuttal,

TRUE, RELEVANT, God-honoring, obedience is only possible by those who honor the Father by faith in the Son, Jesus Christ, and receive the Holy Spirit as Guarantor of covenant relationship (Galatians 5:16; John 3; Ephesians 1:13-14). Walking in obedience to the indwelling Holy Spirit via the conscience via the daily process of sanctification is the only way one honors the Father with works of righteousness that will endure to the end and be rewarded at the BEMA Judgment; all other forms of work and self-righteous obedience will be burned away as filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6) and as futile and nihilistic arrogance that will ultimately convict the unbeliever of sin resulting in the “second death” in Hell subsequent adjudication manifesting at the Judgment of the Condemned (Revelation 20:11-15).

Where you err and falter as you’re daily dying in your sin, legalism and spiritual ignorance en route to death in Hell is your refusal to comprehend the theological truism that Law and vain attempts at obedience in the flesh will NOT earn anyone redemption from sin as the Law mandates absolute perfection and curses one to death in Hell because we are all sinners and the Law only defines our sin but provides ZERO atonement or hope (Galatians 2:16; Romans 3:20-23; Galatians 3:10; James 2:10); therefore, unless one acknowledges and repents of their sin and truly acknowledges their inability to save them self by works of self-righteousness through law-keeping while confessing that Jesus is Messiah, our Lord, who suffered and died in our place to pay our sin-debt (John 3; Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 10:9-10)…a sin-debt owed the Father that we could NEVER pay our self through self-righteousness, unless one believes this and confesses this with a sincere heart, they will die in their sin along side you and they will perish in Hell in self-righteousness along side you (John 3).

Obedience to God’s will for your life is a GOOD thing but it’s only possible through obedience to the indwelling Holy Spirit who is only given to those who repent of their sin and sincerely confess, believe, trust, in Jesus as their Messiah (Ephesians 1:13-14; John 3).

The Christian does NOT deny the eternal relevance of respecting our Heavenly Father through obedience but the Christian rejects your self-righteousness and your arrogance that suggests humanity can find favor with our Holy God through our attempts in the flesh to keep a Law or be sufficiently obedient to please Him as the Christian knows that ONLY the “imputed righteousness” of Messiah Jesus by faith in Jesus as our Lord will the Father be pleased and establish covenant relationship with us, forever (2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 8:12). He who denies the Son does NOT have the Father and is therefore a bastard child in Time and in Eternity living without hope or covenant (1 John 2:23).

Legalism; Virtue Signaling-Hypocrisy; Truth…

The Legalist; Spiritual Ignorance; Virtue Signaling-Hypocrisy; Truth…

The Law is not hated by those who love Christ nor is Christianity lawlessness concealed by faith but the Law is seen for what it is, a Tutor, a Foreshadowing, an indictment of humanity and our need for a Redeemer (Galatians 3:24-25; Romans 3:20-23).

I weary of the legalists and their virtue signaling hypocrisy who gag at a gnat and swallow a camel. If Law was a path to life, Jesus would not have needed to suffer and die in your place (Galatians 2:21) and the Law is given to the lawless as an adjudicatory standard for Judgment (Rev 20:11-15; Romans 3:20), not the righteous in Christ (1 Timothy 1:9).

The faithful in Messiah Jesus don’t walk daily seeking adherence to letters scratched upon parchment or etched in stone (Romans 6:14) but the one who loves Jesus and possesses the precious Holy Spirit as Guarantor of covenant relationship (Ephesians 1:13-14) seeks obedience to the Spirit’s will via the conscience via the daily process of sanctification (Galatians 5:16).

Your blind love of the Law and your false accusations of lawlessness in Christianity denotes your lack of knowledge and the absence of the Holy Spirit in your life. The Holy Spirit’s anointing in the life of the redeemed by faith is an eternally superior form of behavioral modification through the “new creation” in Christ (1 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 5:16), the Spirit’s anointing is an infinitely superior conveyor of fruitful obedience than the failed Law Covenant (Hebrews 8:7) that sought conformity to letters by a sinful nature that could never attain the perfection necessary for a works oriented, self-righteous, salvation (James 2:10; Galatians 3:10; Galatians 2:16; Romans 3:20-23).

The ONLY righteousness attainable in this life constrained by Time and physics is the IMPUTED – GIFTED righteousness of Jesus Christ provided by faith in Jesus as Lord; any other pursuit of righteousness is futile and will culminate in death of mind, body, soul, in Hell (2 Corinthians 5:21; John 14:6; Romans 10).

If one desires obedience that pleases the Father, they must first pursue the Holy Spirit’s anointing available ONLY by faith in Jesus Christ as Messiah (Ephesians 1:13-14) – any other pursuit of righteousness (a right standing) with the Father is “religious” by definition and nihilistic and demonically rooted in practice (Romans 7:6).

Jesus Christ, Crucifixion, the Gospel: were there no other options?

Elohim, Selfless Love, Creation, the Devil, Crucifixion, were there no other options?

Elohim first demonstrated that He HIMSELF would provide innocent blood for the atonement of sin in Genesis 3:21. We, human kind, are participants in an unfathomable cosmic war, a coup d’état, that manifest in the Kingdom of Elohim before Time began and that coup is causation for the creation of Time, matter, the Heavens, Earth, our complex human genome as a repository for the war between good v. evil; this, apart from the Kingdom where nothing impure is permitted to exist (Revelation 21:27).

In response to the cosmic, spiritual, battle that rages before us daily, Elohim ordained the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the “battle strategy” by which He would “destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8b) and this battle strategy, the Gospel, was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10). Elohim’s decision to express the seriousness of sin through the shedding of innocent blood is His divine and sovereign choice as human life, its very existence in Time, is in the blood and Elohim has ordained that without the shedding of blood there is NO forgiveness of sin (Leviticus 17:11; Hebrews 10). Ultimately, Elohim sacrificed Himself via selfless love to destroy the works of the Devil (death-Hell-the grave) as only Elohim could accomplish this as only Elohim is truly Holy and Sinless.

The Gospel’s central theme, the shedding of innocent blood for the remission of sin by grace (unmerited favor) through faith-trust-belief in the Son, Jesus Christ, is foreshadowed throughout the Torah in types, people, prophecy, and specifically articulated in Leviticus 17:11 and practically foreshadowed through the blood sacrifices under the Law Covenant. Elohim sanctified a people group through the Patriarchy of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Israel), and through the Tribe of Judah, Elohim introduced His Messiah who entered Time specifically “to destroy the works of the Devil” through the Gospel (1 John 3:8b).

Elohim’s original eschatological plan was to send Messiah directly and exclusively to the “lost sheep of Israel” (Matthew 15:24) and proselytize them in the Gospel and commission Israel’s children to take the life-saving message of the Gospel, Elohim’s grace through faith, to the uttermost parts of the Earth via the Great Commission (Matthew 28); unfortunately, tragically, Israel’s children rejected Elohim’s eschatological plan by rejecting and murdering their Messiah, Jesus Christ.

Elohim’s original plan was for the horrors of Roman crucifixion to fulfill the mandates concerning the shedding of blood and it was Rome, Rome’s elite, and their hatred for the Jew and their fear of Jewish rebellion that would be the instrument by which Messiah would be sacrificed for sin, but Israel’s religious leadership, in their narcissistic lust for power and influence over Israel’s children, were the initiators of Messiah’s demise in collaboration with the Roman authorities. Due to Israel’s rejection and conspiratorial murder of Messiah and Israel’s insistence that Messiah’s blood be upon them and their children (Matthew 27:25), Elohim removed ordination of the Israeli people as sanctified messengers of the Gospel and gave the Gospel, the Great Commission (Matthew 28), to yearning and desiring Gentiles (Acts 13:46; Romans 9-11) who have been relatively faithful to take that divine message to the uttermost parts of the Earth.

Consequently, Israel’s children have been placed under a curse of deafness, hardheartedness, stubbornness, arrogance, defiance, to the will of Elohim and His Messiah, Jesus Christ (Romans 11:25); this curse being relevant to this very day as Israel’s children overwhelmingly seek righteousness through self-righteousness in vain attempts to keep the Law while rejecting the imputed righteousness of Messiah by faith (Romans 10). For this reason, only a “remnant” of Israel’s children will escape the “second death” in Hell due to unbelief (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27; Romans 10); this, while Elohim’s divine plan concerning the Gospel, the shedding of innocent blood for the remission of sin, has been unhindered by mankind’s obstinance and alliance with the Devil for 6000-years.
