What did Jesus mean when He said: “Heaven and Earth shall pass away but my words shall never pass away”? Matthew 24:35
Discussion,
Heaven and Earth will pass away, they are temporary (2 Peter 3:7; Rev 21:1) but Elohim’s words, His spiritual law, has been relevant as an arbiter of free will subsequent the creation of the angels; therefore, Elohim’s words will NEVER pass away (Matthew 24:35) as Jesus is the divine Logos, Word of Elohim, Eternal (John 1) and free will remains extant in Eternity by necessity.
The Sinai Commandments, the codified law – Torah Law, were eschatological in motive and temporary in nature. Sinai was given Moses and Israel’s children due Elohim’s concerns relevant to a repeat of the failures likened to that of the Adamic and Noahic generations; two generations of wicked defilement, a demonically possessed people who thwarted their ordination as progenitors of the Messiah due their compromise with demonic paganism (Genesis 6:5); consequently, Elohim provided Israel’s children a codified edition of His spiritual law, a fragmented portion of the spiritual law etched in stone, scratched upon parchment, as divine instructions as to how Israel was to be holy as He is Holy (Exodus 19:6) and how Israel would shun the enticements of the pagan tribes around them who relentlessly sought Israel’s compromise with the pagan gods; namely, Baal and Molech (Exodus 20:3-5); a demonic compromise that would have also thwarted Israel’s ordination as progenitors of the Messiah as promised through Abraham (Genesis 12:3b).
Sinai was given specifically to Israel’s children and those who sought refuge in that theocracy under LAW. Sinai and Moses have passed…their intent is fulfilled in Messiah and Messiah’s defeat of Satan’s works at Golgotha via a Gospel that was ordained “before Time began” (1 John 3:8b; 2 Timothy 1:8-10); therefore, anyone who belongs to the Father via faith in the Son is NOT under Law but under Grace (Romans 6:14) and the Holy Spirit is the Christian’s “divine Law” through daily sanctification via “fruits of the Spirit” produced through the anointing of the Spirit’s work through the redeemed servants of Messiah (Galatians 5:16-23); in this, the Father is glorified (John 15:8).
Did Elohim foreordain – predestine the Atheist to reject Him in Jesus Christ?
Romans 8:29: For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.”
Christian Response…
Romans 8:29 tells you that Elohim foreknew you and predestined you to conform to the image of Jesus Christ via the imputation by faith but you chose to conform to the image of Elohim’s nemesis, Satan.
Consider this as it is most relevant, a case in point…
Elohim also foreknew and foreordained Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, as the Patriarchy of a people Elohim called “the apple of my eye” (Zechariah 2:8) and Elohim lavished them with His covenants and provisions and protection and sustenance as they were to be the progenitors of His Messiah through Judah; Messiah Yeshua came directly, specifically, to Israel’s children (Matthew 15:24) to proselytize them in the New Covenant’s Gospel and prepare them as ministers of the Gospel to the entire World via the Great Commission; this, in fulfillment of Elohim’s promise to Abraham (Genesis 12:3b); unfortunately, Israel’s children (like you and other atheists in this forum) rejected their Messiah; Israel’s children rejected the New Covenant and the Gospel; Israel’s children via free will rejected their ordination as ministers of the Great Commission; Israel’s children conspired with Rome to murder their Messiah upon a tree while exclaiming that Messiah’s blood be upon them and their children (Matthew 27:25); therefore, Elohim in Jesus was broken and crushed due their rejection (Matthew 23:37) and ultimately the Gospel and the Great Commission were taken from Israel and given to the Gentile; this, until the fullness of the Gentiles have entered the Kingdom (Romans 11:25; Acts 13:46) and Israel has subsequently, consequently, been placed under judgment and only a “remnant” of Israel’s children will escape the “second death” in Hell due their unbelief and their blindness (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27); therefore, even though Elohim poured Himself and His divine codified laws and covenants into Israel’s children, it was their rejection, their unbelief, their stubbornness, that overrode Elohim’s divine will and ordination of Israel’s children…you are no different…you have been given Jesus as Mediator for your sin by faith yet you err in wisdom and judgment and discernment exactly like Israel’s children, to this very day.
Alien Life (UFO’s) or Spiritual Interaction within the Realm of Time in preparation for Messiah’s 2nd-Advent?
Discussion,
There are no “aliens” as human kind defines them or believes them to be. All that mankind sees and declares as a UFO or an “alien” is the interaction between the Spiritual Realm and the Physical Realm and these interactions will increase in frequency and in intensity as we approach the 2nd-Advent of Messiah to Mount Olivet and the initiation of His Millennial Kingdom. Human kind catches glimpses of the demonic world and the faithful angelic world as the spiritual war between good and evil rages on around us and through us, daily (Ephesians 6:10-20).
Such “alien” manifestations are well documented in Genesis 3 with Eve’s interaction with Satan (Ezekiel 28:11+) and Ezekiel’s vision in Ezekiel 1. Abraham’s interaction with Elohim in Genesis 22 and Jacob’s encounter in Genesis 32-33; Sodom and Gomorrah and the angelic presence there; The Mount of Transfiguration (Matthew 17).
We are explicitly warned by the Holy Spirit to NOT deny kindness and hospitality to strangers as some have entertained angels unaware.
English Standard Version
“Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” Hebrews 13:2
Jesus explains that His Kingdom is NOT of this Realm…. but there exists around us, through us, a Realm that is more tangible, REAL, interactive, infinitely superior, to this present finite Realm of Time.
The New Covenant, foreordained by Elohim as belonging solely to Israel’s children, is now in custody of the Gentile, what happened?
Jeremiah 31 and Ezekiel 36 and Hebrews 10 and 2 Corinthians 3 articulate a “New Covenant” that was foreordained as the sole property of Jacob’s children and Messiah Jesus came specifically to them for this purpose (Matthew 15:24); this, as Israel’s children would fulfill Elohim’s promise to Abraham concerning Abram’s seed as “a blessing to every family of the Earth” (Genesis 12:3b); this, through Messiah and the New Covenant Gospel and the Great Commission; unfortunately, Israel’s children rejected their Messiah and conspired with Rome to murder Messiah Jesus upon a tree while exclaiming that Messiah’s blood be upon them and their children (Matthew 27:25); therefore, Elohim honored Israel’s free will choice as they rejected their Messiah, the Gospel, the Great Commission and Elohim gave these eschatological imperatives to the Gentile and the Gentile will remain in custody of the New Covenant’s Gospel until their fullness has entered the Kingdom of Elohim through faith in Messiah Jesus (Romans 11:25). Elohim’s eschatological plan will not be thwarted by the unfaithfulness of mankind.
“So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11 (NKJV)
Concerning the political/ideological/theological chasm existing between those who support the Nation of Israel and those who support Palestine/Gaza/HAMAS (Islam)…
For the Record concerning the current conflict between Israel v. Palestine (HAMAS), Lebanon (Hezbollah), Iran (their terrorist, Islamic proxies), Yemen (Houthis) and the political-ideological divide existing within the United States…KNOW YOUR ENEMY!
Concerning Islam,
The demonic root of Palestine’s HAMAS; Lebanon’s Hezbollah; Iran’s other terrorist proxies; Yemen’s Houthis, is the religious cult of Islam. Islam’s “Allah” is Satan masquerading as an angel of light via the Arabic moon god. Islam was founded by a 7th-Century nomadic demon-possessed pedophile murdering thief named Muhammad who plagiarized the Torah to construct the Quran. Islam is a demonic cult of death.
Islam’s root is the act of adultery between Abraham and Hagar producing the “wild ass” of a man named Ishmael, the father of the Islmaelites, who are the progenitor of the false prophet, Muhammad. Islam is Satan’s presence within the Realm of Time and physics.
Concerning Allah’s (Satan’s) objectives,
Allah’s (Satan’s) objective is the complete annihilation of Israel’s children and the nullification of the unconditional property covenant Elohim entered into with Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3; Genesis 13:15) as the “Land of Israel” is essential eschatological real estate relevant to the introduction of the Messiah whose primary purpose for entering the Realm of Time was “to destroy the works of the Devil (Allah)” (1 John 3:8b) via a divine battle strategy known as the Gospel of Grace which was first pictured in Genesis 3:21 but ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10).
Messiah’s purpose for entering the Realm of Time,
Messiah entered the Realm of Time due to an unfathomable angelic rebellion, a rebellion orchestrated by Satan-Allah, that manifest in the Kingdom of Elohim, a rebellion that necessitated a repository for that Kingdom War apart from the Kingdom which under girded the initiation of the Genesis Creation Narrative; this, as Elohim endeavors to restore order and peace to His Kingdom while simultaneously maintaining volitional love with His cherished angelic creation as He deals with the wiles of the Devil via selfless love and sacrifice via the Gospel.
Allah’s obsession with Israel,
Allah’s obsession with the children of Israel and the Land of Israel concerns Satan’s desire to make Elohim a liar concerning Elohim’s divine, sovereign, promises beginning with Genesis 3:15-21, continuing through Noah, Shem, Abraham; the Hebrew Tribes, Sinai, through Judah, through the prophets, through Messiah into the Age of Grace; the Crucifixion; the Gospel and Great Commission; the New Covenant Church; the Tribulation; the Millennial Kingdom; the judgment of Satan, the Beast, the False prophet, the fallen-rebellious angels/demons interned in Hell, forever; the Judgment of the Condemned intertwined with the purification of the Earth by fire; the creation of a New Heaven and a New Earth and ultimately the eternal placement of the New Jerusalem where the redeemed in Messiah will serve Him in resurrected bodies, forever.
Allah’s tactics,
Allah-Satan has pursued his goal of proving Elohim a liar through the failures and demonic compromise of the Adamic/Noahic generations resulting in the annihilation of humanity save eight; the failures of Israel’s children to honor Elohim’s covenants, their unbelief/rejection of Messiah, their unfaithfulness with Baal/Molech.
Allah-Satan sought to defile/deter the Messiah through demonic temptation and the horrors of Roman Crucifixion; Allah-Satan was integral to Herod’s slaughter of innocence to murder the Messiah; Allah-Satan assumed he had won victory at Golgotha; Allah-Satan inspired Titus-the 10th-Roman Legion’s destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD; Allah-Satan conspired with Hitler concerning “The Final Solution” and the Jewish Holocaust; Allah-Satan, through his demons, possesses the heart, soul, mind, of every Islamist whose obsessive-compulsive objective in life is the death of every Israeli man, woman and child and the custody of Israel’s property into the hands of Allah’s servants, a Land bordered by the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Allah’s objective through Islam is the death of anyone who rejects the false prophet Muhammad and his demonic religion of Islam.
Spiritual-Political ramifications of Allah’s presence in Time and Politics, today…The United States…
As we witness the unfathomable rise and presence of antisemitism in the United States and around the World, understand that all we see in the conflict between Israel’s IDF and the armies of Islam is SPIRITUAL in nature; this conflict is nothing more than a physical manifestation of the ongoing Spiritual conflict between good v. evil, Elohim v. Satan.
Also, know that every man and woman who supports the armies of Islam, whether they be represented by Palestine – Jordan – Iran – Lebanon – Yemen or any other Nation – State throughout the World, these are servants of Satan. This is why those in the United States who march for Palestine supporting the terrorist organization of HAMAS and express fervent hatred for Israel; these, overwhelmingly belong to a Political Party that advocates for the murder of babies in the womb; the uncensored and undeterred expansion of sexual perversion throughout American society via LGBTQ objectives which specifically target America’s children and seek the destruction of the Biblical family unit (Allah loathes the Biblical family); this is why Marxism and Progressivism and Abortion and BLM and ANTIFA and DEI and reverse discrimination AKA Affirmative Action mandates, are worshiped like gods among those who identify with the Democrat-Progressive-Marxist-Secular Humanist Party of the United States; therefore, know your enemy.
You will know them by their fruits (Matthew 7:15-20). Elohim is victorious through Messiah Jesus (Revelation 5:5).
Islam’s “Allah” is Satan masquerading as an angel of light via the Arabic moon god. Islam was founded by a 7th-Century nomadic demon possessed pedophile murdering thief named Muhammad who plagiarized the Torah to construct the Quran. Islam is a demonic cult of death.
Islam’s root is the act of adultery between Abraham and Hagar producing the “wild ass” of a man named Ishmael, the father of the Islmaelites who are the progenitor of Muhammad. Islam is Satan’s presence within the Realm of Time.
To those who worship at Sinai, not Golgotha; To those who worship the Law to the exclusion of or in addition to the Messiah; To those perishing in Hell in self-righteousness through law-keeping…
Discussion,
Sinai is but a fragmented, codified, version of the comprehensive Spiritual Law; the Spiritual Law that Elohim has employed as an arbiter of free will subsequent the creation of the angels. Sinai is beautiful and partially expresses Elohim’s holiness and divine expectations; much can be learned from Sinai, but Sinai is incomplete as it simply addresses Elohim’s concerns for Jacob’s children and their inevitable compromise with demonic paganism; specifically, the vile worship of Baal and Molech as demonstrated by the pagan tribes surrounding Jacob’s children that relentlessly sought Israel’s compromise.
Sinai was given the Hebrew Tribes for eschatological protection via sanctification; this, to Jacob’s children, exclusively; this, as Elohim was concerned that Israel’s children would be disqualified as progenitors of the Messiah like those of the Adamic and Noahic generations who sold their soul to Satan and his demonic angels resulting in the annihilation of human kind save eight (Genesis 6; Romans 1:18-32).
Are Christians seeking to replace Sinai?
No one is seeking to replace Sinai but Sinai is not Elohim’s eschatological destination; Sinai, Moses, Torah, were roadmaps pointing to Elohim’s objective (Galatians 3:24-25); that is, the “destruction of Satan’s works” via the coming Messiah (1 John 3:8b; Genesis 3:15) via a battle strategy introduced as the “Gospel” which was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10; Genesis 3:21).
Worshiping at Sinai to the exclusion of Golgotha,
You represent those who will perish at the foot of Mount Sinai, who serve the golden calf (works – idolatry) as opposed to the Messiah as you seek your own righteousness via self-righteousness via a Law that only defines your sin void atonement (Romans 3:20; Romans 9); a Law that demands absolute perfection (James 2:10) from your sin-nature, the Adamic sin-nature that can never adequately comply (Romans 3:23; 5:12) and a Law that “curses” you as you perish in your sin in unbelief (Galatians 3:10; John 8:24).
Your only Hope,
Your only Hope of escaping the “second death” in Hell due to your sin is through repentance and sincere faith-belief-trust in Jesus Christ as the One, the Messiah, who kept the Law for you in perfection, shed His innocent blood to atone for your sin and offers you His righteousness in exchange for your sin by faith in Him as Messiah and receive forgiveness via New Covenant promise (John 3; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 8:12).
The obsession with Sinai, Moses, Torah, is a form of self-righteousness and wilful spiritual arrogance and ignorance concerning the New Covenant…
Discussion,
The Law that governs the New Covenant is the same Spiritual Law that has been relevant as an arbiter of free will subsequent the creation of the angels (Romans 2:14-15). The Decalogue, the Commandments given at Sinai, are but a mere fragment of the Spiritual Law and thus they are wholly insufficient for attaining righteousness (a right standing) with Elohim. Why can’t you understand that Sinai was given Israel for sanctification and eschatological purposes for a special time and dispensation but Sinai is NOT the destination; Sinai and Torah and Moses were simply an eschatological roadmap to the Messiah and the New Covenant, the Gospel and the Great Commission. Jesus as Messiah was and is the “Destination.”
Cults – the SDA – the Decalogue, Why is it so difficult for you to understand that the Christian does NOT live their daily life enslaved to letters, laws, days, diets (Romans 6:14) as these were elements of a bygone covenant (Hebrews 8:7); a covenant that was simply a roadmap but never intended to be the destination (Galatians 3:24)? I understand that those enslaved to the cults promulgating a works salvation; those enslaved to the Cult of Seventh Day Adventism are precariously obsessed with the 4th-Commandment, a ceremonial edict given specifically to Israel for sanctification purposes (Ezekiel 20:12) but your obsessions war against faith and truth and life.
The “Law” of the New Covenant, Spiritual Law – fruit,
The New Covenant, the Spiritual Law written upon the heart (Romans 2:14-15), the “Law of the Spirit of Life (Romans 8:2) is enlivened, made anew, revitalized, made applicable, by the indwelling Holy Spirit via a redeemed conscience through faith in Messiah Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17). It is the indwelling Holy Spirit, as the Arbiter of that Spiritual Law (Galatians 5:16), who employs the redeemed conscience and thereby produces “fruits of righteousness” that fulfills ALL LAW (Galatians 5) – this New Covenant obedience being infinitely superior to the Old Law Covenant’s Sinai and Mosaic Laws that mandated perfection (James 2:10) from a sin-nature that could never comply (Romans 3:23; 5:12) and “cursed” all who sought that Law for righteousness with Elohim (Galatians 3:10).
Why is this New Covenant so difficult for you and those of you who can’t understand Elohim’s eschatological purposes that are infinitely greater than Sinai, Israel, Moses, Torah? These were simply a “tutor” to point Jacob’s children to their need for an Intercessor by faith (Galatians 3:24) and the Christian’s “tutor” is the Holy Spirit, NOT the Law Covenant (1 John 2:27)! Why do you suggest a bygone Covenant of Law remains valid and applicable in a New Covenant rooted in faith and grace (Hebrews 8:7; Romans 7:6; Romans 3:21)? Christians don’t worship at Sinai, Christians worship at Golgotha.
Someone said: “Righteousness is God’s Law.” Is this true?
It is true that Elohim’s Law expresses His righteousness but does righteousness flow from the Law, is righteousness attained through the Law or by faith (Romans 7:12)? What is righteousness?
Discussion,
Righteousness is a “right standing,” a divine relationship, with Elohim through faith. If righteousness came through the Law, Jesus died needlessly (Galatians 2:21). Obedience equating to righteousness works only honors the Father when those works are performed through the Spirit during daily Christian sanctification; this, subsequent salvation by faith in Jesus as Messiah; otherwise, works for “righteousness” sake are interpreted by Elohim as a “filthy garment” (Isaiah 64:6) and in the literal Hebrew “a bloody menstrual cloth.“
No flesh will be justified in the presence of Elohim through the Law (Romans 3:20; Galatians 2:16) and anyone who performs “works” seeking righteousness (a right standing) with Elohim apart from faith, first, in the Messiah, Jesus Christ, will be denied access to the Kingdom as Jesus will plainly tell you, “Apart from me you who work iniquity,I never knew you” (Matthew 7:21:23).
Elohim’s Law: A double-edged sword,
Elohim’s Law, both the codified and spiritual, is a double-edged sword as it defines Elohim’s righteousness by simultaneously defining what is “sin;” therefore, the Law does not engender righteousness but culpability; therefore, no flesh will be justified through the Law as Law is the knowledge of sin (Romans 3:20; Galatians 2:16; Galatians 3:10; James 2:10) and the Law is relevant to the unrighteous, rebellious, man or woman, not the righteous by faith (1 Timothy 1:9)
One Divine Righteousness available to mankind,
The ONLY righteousness you will attain in this life constrained by Time, physics, a body of death in the Adamic nature (Romans 5:12), is the purity, the righteousness, the sinless perfection, of Jesus IMPUTED/GIFTED over your life by faith in Jesus as your Messiah (2 Corinthians 5:21). You don’t “work” for nor can you earn your righteousness (right standing) with the Father but Jesus accomplished that for you through His perfect obedience to the Law (John 8:45-47) and His shed blood as atonement for your sin at Golgotha (Matthew 26:28; 1 Peter 1:18-19); therefore, you receive an imputed-gifted righteousness by “faith” in the righteous One, Jesus our Messiah. This truism was first demonstrated for you in Genesis 3:21 (Hebrews 11).
Concerning the Decalogue etched in stone; Law of Moses scratched upon parchment – righteousness?
The Sinai Decalogue was given solely to Israel and sojourners with them seeking refuge in that theocracy. The Sinai Decalogue is but a mere fragment of Elohim’s eternal spiritual law and it is wholly inadequate for righteousness, but Sinai’s Commandments were given for sanctification concerning thwarting Israel’s compromise with Baal and Molech – demonic paganism; this, for eschatological purposes concerning the Messiah, the Gospel, the Great Commission; simply stated, Elohim did not desire a repeat of the horrific failures and demonic compromise demonstrated by the Adamic and Noahic generations disqualifying them as progenitors of the Messiah and Messiah’s eschatological purposes; therefore, Elohim set-forth codified, relevant, fragmented, edits directly addressing what Jacob’s children were to do and obey in order to be holy as Elohim is Holy (Leviticus 21:8; Exodus 19:6; 1 Peter 1:16).
Law – Righteousness and Christianity,
Christians, those who have entered into New Covenant relationship with Elohim by faith in Messiah Jesus, do NOT live their daily life thinking about, contemplating, Torah or Sinai or Moses or days or diets; Christians walk and live by the Holy Spirit who indwells them by New Covenant promise (Ezekiel 36:27) and the Spirit produces divine fruit through the His anointing, “fruit of the Spirit” that fulfills all Law (Ephesians 1:13-14; Galatians 5:16-23; Matthew 7:15-20).
Old Covenant v. New Covenant – Two unique Covenants with completely different applications of Law but one unified method of attaining “righteousness” with Elohim; that is, FAITH (Hebrews 11; John 3; Ephesians 2:8-9).
Seeking obedience to Elohim the Father? Which path are you pursuing: Sinai or Golgotha?
Discussion,
If you desire to honor the Father through obedience you must FIRST believe in the Son whom He sent to provide you blood atonement (John 6:29). Intimate, personal, New Covenant relationship with the Father can only be established by “faith” in the Son, Jesus Christ, believing with a sincere heart that Jesus is Messiah who died to pay your sin-debt owed the Father, a sin-debt mandating sinless blood atonement, atonement you could never provide yourself (John 3; 1 Peter 1:18-19). It is by covenant promise to all who believe in the Son that they will receive the indwelling Holy Spirit who takes up residence within the redeemed in Jesus as the indwelling Holy Spirit is the Seal and Guarantor of New Covenant relationship with the Father (Ephesians 1:13-14).
Second, if you desire to please the Father through obedience subsequent salvation by faith, you must walk by the indwelling Holy Spirit, daily, in New Covenant sanctification (Galatians 5:16) allowing the Spirit to employ your redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17) and the spiritual law written upon your heart (Romans 2:14-15) to produce divine fruit through you that fulfills all law (Galatians 5:22-23).
Torah, Moses, Sinai, civil-ceremonial law, are members of a bygone, distant, covenant (Hebrews 8:7). Stop living in that which condemns you (Romans 3:20; Romans 8:1-11) and seek the Living Elohim’s Truth concerning grace and faith and peace and intimacy (Galatians 2:16); that is, the Gospel of Jesus Christ; Jesus our Messiah who provided you precious blood atonement at Golgotha (Matthew 26:28; 1 Peter 1:18-19) and welcomes you into the family of Elohim through the forgiveness of sin via New Covenant relationship, divine intimacy and peace, established by faith in Jesus as Messiah who died for you (Romans 5:1).
18 knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, 19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.
