Day 90 Bible Food Complete

Well done men and women, well done brothers and sisters, well done friends. We have eaten the bible totally in 90 days! Have you ever done this before in this amount of time and with this amount of understanding? Reading the bible straight through as a story book is not how the bible was designed to be read. While it is still possible; the best way to read the bible is given in Isaiah chapter 28; line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little. The reason is because the Lord has hid things so that they are searched out.

When you read the bible from front to back as we just have, you can pick up the overall theme. Prior to doing this, as a child I use to believe that the Old Testament was separate from Jesus (based on of course not reading). I use to think that Jesus came out of no where and founded Christianity and that made the Jews upset. He did not come of our no where as we've found. The bible actually begins with Moses.

Moses did the Lord's will and the Lord invited him up to the Mount to receive commandments to give the nation and gave Moses a whole lot of things as well. He gave Moses the creation story; and how everything has gone up until Moses generation and even gave Moses how it will go past Moses generation. Is Moses the only one the Lord did this with? In that fashion, yes! But I would not be as brazen to say only Moses received this.

We must keep in mind that the Lord is a fair God. Do you believe He disinherited Cain without telling him he isn't to kill, steal, lie, and other commandments that permitted to them at that time? Do you think Cain's children knew the commandments? I'm sure they did. That is why the punishment was harsh. My point in this is that, when Israel the nation was commanded to take the land of Canaan, do you think God just decided go knock down these people, as if He were tired of looking at them? No!

God had been teaching them what is right and what is wrong. That is why the Pharaoh's were harshly upset at Abraham for saying that Sarah was his sister because then they would have committed adultery had they slept with her being she is already married. The Pharaoh was concerned about how much trouble would have come on him and his land for such an action.

Hammurabi's codes appear as documents that Moses copied word for word. Do you believe Hammurabi was a genius and came up with these by himself? As Jesus said they error in not knowing the scriptures nor the POWER of God; Abraham came back and was met by Melchizedek, who was priest of the Most High God. Do you think Melchizedek came by on other occasions and taught the descendants of Ham in the laws of God? Is that a possibility.

I presume, and this is just me, that He spoke to trusted and wise men in that day and gave them much knowledge. It may not have been Jesus (Melchizedek) Himself all the time, as Peter said be careful at times you are speaking with an angel that appears as a man and you'll never know it. The Canaanites were taught the ways of God. Hammurabi and wise men like him took heed; they probably read books by their progenitors like Enoch and had much wisdom so it can appear that Moses stole everything from Egypt (although Psalms said that Joseph taught the Egyptian senators wisdom).

Why am I going through all of this to show that God did not tell Israel to sack the seven nations of Canaan in vain. They sinned and had to be removed from the land and it just so happens that the Lord promised Abraham's descendants by way of Isaac, by way of Jacob, the land of Canaan. Then the bible begins to narrowly focus on the children of Israel. They sinned and were broken up as a nation into two houses, Samaria and Judah. They sinned more, and Samaria was taken out by Assyria and flooded into the land of Ham and Asia. I would not be surprised today if you find large groups of Israelites floating aimlessly loss on the continent of Africa and Asia. If you follow the world news quite a bit you would have heard of tribes of people like the Ethiopian Jews, Nigerian Jews, and even groups of people saying they are Israelites from Fuji, Philippines, and India all claiming with authenticity that they are lost children of Israel.

Judah was taken out after that and became slaves and captive to the Gentiles. To find them it is quite easy beside the physical differences, but all you would have to do is go into any Gentile (European) nation and look for the lowest people on the economic scale. The people most unjustly treated, the people who are the majority in the prisons even though they are the minority in population. All these are good signs because we read that the children of Israel were cursed and Daniel's 70 weeks shared and Jesus as well said the curse will continue until He returns.

After Judah and Samaria were thrown out the land for their sins; the Lord put punishments on all the surrounding nations who aided in their removal. These are primarily children of Ishmael and Edom who were chief among removing the children of Israel and are the chief quarrelers over the land of Israel today.

When Judah returned for the first coming of the Messiah, they thought it was at that time Israel would be restored; as we read them shouting Hosanna to the Highest; but quickly found out that it was not the time. Jesus the Messiah had to die first for the people then restore them. Jesus told them they would be again removed from the land and 30 or more years after His death and resurrection they were indeed surrounded by the Romans, the General Titus killed so many Jews that some history books reported up to 500 people a day were being crucified.

The rest were taken as slaves and distributed among the Gentile nations. From that period we have not heard much from the Jews or Israelites. They are lowly riding among other nations; some rise to high positions as Daniel did in his day; but never as a collective group, no, not until they collectively acknowledge their God and repent of their sins. John and many apostle's end the bible for us testifying even with their lives on the line that all in the scriptures are true, and also they were eye witnesses to the works and saying of Jesus Christ. They also prophesied of the future for us so that we know what's going on. If someone were ask you when and how Jesus will return you can tell them as it is common knowledge as the Pharisees told Herod of the birth of Christ because you can simply read it in this marvelous book we've read over the last 90 days!

Just as we can look into the sky and see a storm coming, we should be able to look at our days and generation and tell the Lord is coming or the Lord is not coming yet.

So I have found that the bible is a book for the world, it is a book for everyone because God is the God of all people; however, it focuses on one people and what God's recovery plan for one people will save the entire world. The bible is about Jesus, the Jews or Israelites, and Jerusalem (even New Jerusalem). It is about Jesus and His recovery mission for all humanity, it is about keeping the commandments of God and having the true testimony of Jesus Christ.

Thank you for journeying with me; there is a comment section in the blog, please leave comments or questions. Also, you'll notice I really did not leave detailed scriptures on the book of Genesis. This was purposely done because my friend has a FANTASTIC book coming soon called Genesis Exposed! This will be an Amazing book detailing the book of Genesis line upon line. The principles of anything are in the foundation and thus if we do not have a good grasp of the book of Genesis, the rest of the bible can be or become fuzzy to us. This book will expose it all, where ministers go wrong, where people are confused, and it will be a great exceptional and of course informative read! Keep an eye out for it as you will not want to be without it. It should be coming soon no later than October but hopefully before hand. Thank you and good bye.

Day 88 of Reading the Bible in 90 Days

Good morning and praise the Lord for another day. We are going to continue in this excellent journey and eat this good food; the bible food that the Lord has prepared for us so we can join Him on the great feast on that great day.

We ended with the six trumpet being sounded and that took place during the seventh seal. Then John was giving the bible to read and it was sweet to get insight on this new understanding; but it was bitter to learn what is going on and what will happen. As Solomon said with much knowledge there is much grief.

Revelation 11

¹And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

²But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

John then sees a measuring rod and an angel orders him to rise up and measure the temple of God and the altar particulars but do not measure the courtyard that is out side the temple. Don't measure the courtyard because that will be given to the Gentiles because Jerusalem will be in their possession for 42 months, which is equal to three and a half years. During the great tribulation, a Gentile organization will inhabit Jerusalem, they will inhabit the temple and completely rule Jerusalem for 42 months.

If you recollect back to Ezekiel, he was showed a temple; but that temple was for Jesus when He returns. This temple is not. This temple is for the anti-Christ, the man of sin, the son of perdition, the abomination that causes desolation. Muslims have the temple space occupied now with the Dome of the Rock. However, over some years the EU, United Nations, or United States will broker a deal that will allow the Jewish people to have access to the courtyard to build the temple that people will think is for God; but it is not; it is for the man of sin.

The Lord will set up two witnesses that will prophesy during those three and half years, clothed in sackcloth. In Zechariah chapter 4 I believe we got a glimpse of these two olive trees. No body will be able to hurt these two witnesses of God who are here to balance the lies and deception the man of sin is going to promote. God will give His two witnesses power that men of old had, to shut heaven down with no rain, hit the earth with plagues like Moses and Aaron did. And when these witnesses are done after 3.5 years, the Gentiles will kill them (v3-7).

¹³And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

Once the two witnesses are killed; no one in Jerusalem will even go pick up and bury their dead bodies, and we know it's in Jerusalem because it says in verse eight, they lie in the street of a great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where the Lord was crucified. The Lord was crucified in Jerusalem.

This will be on CNN and all kinds of news stations because all nations will see their dead bodies and for 3.5 days not one person will attempt to bury them. They will just leave their bodies in the street and celebrate their death, sending gifts to one another because these two prophets tormented them greatly. How? Probably by pointing out all their sins against the Lord by reading them in the bible, also they were given power so perhaps they were moved to use it against people and shut up rain for a few months.

However, after the 3.5 days life reenters them and they stand on their feet and all that see this of course get scared as you can possibly be; and the two men heard a great voice from heaven saying come up here and they went up into heaven in a cloud and all their enemies watched in horror. These two witnesses were not singlely called to heaven; but this is collectively the first resurrection and a large group of people who have ever died righteously in Christ are being called up to meet the Lord in the air as Paul wrote. This is after the great tribulation!

We also had a great earthquake hit at that moment and many people who had been listening to the words of these two witnesses and when they saw all of this in Jerusalem, they gave glory to the God of Heaven. ¹⁴The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

¹⁵And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

¹⁹And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

The seventh trumpet sounds and there is a transfer of power and kingdoms, from man back to God. Here comes the Lord; and here is the Lord!

Revelation 12

¹And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

Something strange appeared in heaven where a women whose clothing was the sun, the moon was under her feet, and she wore a crown of twelve stars was giving birth to a child and she was in great pain of course. Then something else strange appeared in heaven, a great red dragon that had seven heads and ten horns, with seven crowns on his seven heads, brought a third of the stars of heaven down to the earth with him. This dragon stood at the hospital room waiting for the woman to having this child so he can kill it as soon as He was born.

These are not in sequential order but they are separate events that have taken place. First the woman, who is she? She is not Eve; if you reread Genesis 37 you'll remember a dream that Joseph had how the sun and moon and eleven stars came to worship him. Joseph's dad, Jacob, replied that should he, the sun, Joseph's mother, the moon, and his eleven brothers, the stars (Joseph being the 12th) indeed come and worship Joseph? This gives us the understanding that the woman was the nation of Israel, she was the church.

Who is the red dragon? We probably can guess who; but let's just go back into our archives and really understand this. He had seven heads; Babylon (1), Medo-Persia (2), Greece (because it was divided into 4 after the death of Alexander the great it had four heads (4)), and Rome (5). One to one equals two, two plus four, equals six, and six plus one equals seven. We have our seven heads. Then horns; I won't list who these are here; but I'll say that they are 10 men and organizations that attempted to unit the Roman Empire down throughout the ages, even to our day. We had three that were plucked up by the roots then six who have attempted to resurrect Rome, the last being Benito Mussolini, and we have one after him who will succeed at it. Those are our 10 horns.

Who was thrown out of heaven? Satan, and he was able to persuade/convince a third of evil angels that are innumerable to come down to earth with him. There is no wonder that evil is on our minds continually; we have evil spirits saying, "check this out, get naked, dance, shake your booty, kill that person, you are the man, don't settle for less, rule, win, it's all about you, who cares he's hungry it's the survival of the fittest, let him die nurse, he's no good to society, lock him up, do anything but read the bible of the word of God."

So while on the earth this dragon, Satan, stood before the woman during the Roman rule disguised as Herod who attempted to kill the baby Jesus, he attempted to kill Him spiritually by tempting Him in the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights but could not.

⁹And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Jesus was a Jew a man of Judah, so He came out of the woman who was the nation of Israel, and He was to rule all nations with great authority, authority that is called a rod of iron. The woman went to the wilderness for three and half years (1,260 days), where God prepared a place for her to dwell safely while the great tribulation is going on. This is where you want to go and not to sit on your roof waiting for the rapture. James said faith and works is good; faith by itself is dead. So the Lord tells us where to go; it's our works to get there.

There verse flip back and forth speaking of different events, one past and the other future because Michael the great angel in heaven warred against the dragon and his third of angels and threw them out. We have confirmed that the dragon, also known as, the old serpent (that was in the garden of Eden), the Devil, and Satan, was Satan with seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowds, dressed up in the Gentile dynasty.

¹²Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

The angels in heaven were happy when Satan was thrown out because he caused them so much trouble; but the trouble has come to the earth now. And the devil knows he only has six days to work, a short time to deceive as many as he can to join him in the lake of fire. Satan never liked the idea of worshiping God's image, man, so he disobeyed and was thrown out of heaven. So if he was thrown out because of man, do you think he likes us? No; so he has made it we worship images and not the most High God and he has been at enmity with the woman since she was created.

¹⁷And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

When the great tribulation will begin, the church is to flee to the wilderness and the Lord will provide the transportation as He did in the days of the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt, and the church will be in the wilderness for three and half years away from the devil. The devil will chase her all the way there; but once you make it there you are safe. Since the dragon could not catch the woman, he went to war with her seed, these are people who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ, but they did not understand prophecy. They did not believe the wilderness location and fleeing. They could not leave their earthly possessions, they'd seen too many preachers or cult leaders mislead their congregation to dead ends, they either didn't know about it or were not sure about it and did not get there.

They will be harshly pursued by Satan and his Gentile army for the next three and half years because he only has one hour left to deceive, deceive, deceive!

Revelation chapter 13

¹And 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.

²And 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.

John comes again with more revelations and he saw a beast rise out of the sea and it had 7 heads and 10 horns with 10 crowns with blasphemy against God written all in his heads. The beast was a combination of the animals that Daniel wrote about, the Gentile nations, leopard (Greece), bear (Medo), lion (Babylon), and the beast (Rome). These are Gentile nations; but they get their great power from dragon. This is where his seat is, where the Nicolatines preside.

⁹If any man have an ear, let him hear.

People worship Satan by worshiping this Gentile organization. Be unawares, worship Satan because they have not read this book or have not read it with understanding so they usually get all of Satan's doctrine dressed up in the name of Jesus. This organization fights against the saints for 42 months (3.5 years), as they speak against God blasphemies and if your name is not written in the book of life of the Lamb, you are going to worship Satan by way of worshiping the beast. If you can see this, you better understand it.

If you're not in the wilderness, anything goes for you: ¹⁰He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. You can be held captive, you can be tortured, you can be killed, but knowing this ahead of time is your patience and faith. You can withstand it because it will be over and you will be with the Lord.

¹¹And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Now along with the first beast, which is a political ruler, another beast comes out that will be a spiritual ruler. It looked as peaceful as a lamb, but when it talked, it spoke like a dragon. It supports the first beast and to get you to really believe they are from God; they will do miracles and wonders like make fire come down from heaven on the earth right in front of your eyes. Wow right?!

This must be God right; who can do that right? He will have a statue image made of earth and stone and make it speak and give it life. We have life, we can walk and talk because we are animated objects. When you see a pile of earth and stones begin talking and moving about, that will certainly get you believing in this beast as God. But remember, an evil generation seeks a sign from God, but only one sign was given; everything else is to be read and proven.

If you do not worship this beast, you will be killed. As in the days of Nebuchadnezzar, if you didn't bow down to his statue, you'd be killed, the Gentile dynasty ending as it began, idol worship.

¹⁸Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

This organization also will cause everyone to receive a mark either in their right hands or their foreheads. Now that you've read this, when a certain time of the year comes around (usually after Mardi Gras and before Easter) and people are prepping you for this mark, you have the knowledge now to back away from the table and as the rapper said, "set your cup down." Ask them to put what they put on you (if you've participated in this before) to put it on your left hand and behind your neck. See what happens.

During the great tribulation however, if you do not accept this mark; you will not be able to buy things, your business licenses will be vain because you cannot sell anything unless you have the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name. It's the number of a man; you can look him up on your own.

Revelation 14

¹And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. We will find out who these are as we continue reading.

³And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

⁴These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

⁵And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

The 144,000 sung a new song before the Lord and these 144,000 were redeemed from the earth, they were resurrected. They were not defiled with women as they were virgins. They follow Jesus wherever He goes; they are the first fruits to God and to Christ. Some people say these are actual men of God who were virgins, some say they were the male babies that were killed during the times of Moses and Jesus birth, while some say these are the top group of servants of God that have never mingled with other gods, but have solely worshiped the God of Israel, thus are virgins in the word of God. All of these can be true; I have a small problem with the first one because God said to be fruitful and multiply, so by people like me who are by no means a virgin, I think I've been slighted because it could have been written that if you are a virgin you will be redeemed by the Lord and go with Him wherever He goes. Regardless, I did not create the world, so even it is like that, I accept it.

Results & Consequences for Taking the Mark of the Best:

If you do it ignorantly or willingly; the results are the same.

⁸And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

Not Babylon as in modern day Iraq, or Nebuchadnezzar; but Babylon the great, the entire Gentile dynasty from Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon to the fall of the anti-Christ and his minions.

⁹And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

¹⁰The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

¹¹And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

You will be thrown into the lake of fire forever if you take this mark, especially during the great tribulation; so you may be able to buy and sell and live good; but it will be only for 3.5 years then the Lord will return and punish you. You must ask yourself; is it worth it to die forever?

¹²Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. We're still keeping the commandments here in Revelations.

¹³And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

It is good to die in the Lord, their rest from their works and their good works will follow them. Dead, especially at this time of the creation, coming and inching closer and closer to great evil is a blessing. It a good thing if you die in Christ, and avoid having to go through the day of evil; it is a blessing.

²⁰And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

Lastly in the chapter, John saw a white cloud with what he figured was Jesus sitting on the cloud and an angel came out urging the Lord to thrust His sickle into the earth because it was ripe. This is showing the eagerness of the angels for God to recompense man on the earth for their sins; and at the last war, the Lord and the angels will thrust their sickles and reap the earth, the blood will pour out of men like wine; up to the horses bridles, and for a long as six football stadiums.

Revelation 15

¹And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.

After the 7th trumpet, the Lord has seven last plagues to give the earth, with central concentration on Jerusalem.

⁷And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.

⁸And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

Now the four beast handed the seven angels seven golden vials full of wrath from the Lord and the temple was filled with smoke because of the Lord and His power and no man was able to enter into the temple, until the seven plagues were done. This has to take place on earth because it said no man was able to enter the temple. No man is in heaven, and no man lives in the clouds. This is taking place after the big war, after the time in the wilderness and as the Lord is back in Jerusalem in the Temple.

Revelation 16

¹And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

The angels went there way and began pouring their buckets of wrath. The first resulted in men who had the mark of the beast were given noisome and grievous sore on them, the second poisoned the sea, the third turned the waters of rivers to blood; and the angels said the Lord is justified for doing what He is doing because He warned everyone about this because we're reading it now. Plus, these people killed saints, prophets, and now they are drinking their own blood.

The fourth angel poured and the sun became even more blazing hot, heating up the earth and man so much that men blasphemed the name of God in their frustration and did not repent. The fifth darkened the kingdom and were in much pain of it; the sixth dried up the Euphrates river allowing an army to easily cross by and enter into Jerusalem and John saw Satan influence the beast and the false prophet to gather in Jerusalem for a great battle against Jesus Christ.

They gathered all the armies of man in Armageddon and the seventh vial was poured and a voice came out and said, "It is done!" I feel like ending our readings here; but we can't end on scary stuff like that. There were thunders, lightnings and a great earthquake so bad no Richter scale could measure this. It divided Jerusalem into three parts; like the Lord was saying "here you people that fight over Jerusalem you all can have it, Muslims, Jewish, and Christians, I've divided it for you now."

Now think back to Exodus chapter 19 when the Lord came on the mountain with the children of Israel in presence. There were lightings and thunders, exceedingly. Also think back to when the two witnesses were called up to heaven; there was a great earthquake after the rose. These are events that are happening at the same time and it shows the Lord is back because He is coming in strength, which includes lightings, thunders, and earthquakes.

We are to be ready before He comes like a thief in the night and we are naked because we did not know the signs that the Lord was on His way. Do as Jesus said, we have to watch and pray.

Revelation 17

¹And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

²With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

Here is the judgment of the great whore, the false religion that presides over many people (the waters). The kings and governments of the earth have committed fornication with. Every time a king or President visits this country they have to go over and pay homage to this great whore and because of this the people of the earth are made drunk with their doctrine and laws. Remember what ruined the children of Israel; bad spiritual leaders, i.e., priest, preachers, pastors, and political leaders, their kings. The same thing is going to run the earth, bad political leaders and a host of bad prophets.

The woman, this organization is rich, decked in gold and precious stones and pearls, drinking out of glasses of gold; but inside the cup there are nothing but abominations. It like viewing the most dazzling beautifullest woman on the earth; what you don't know is that she has ever STD on record, she has HIV, Hepatitis, and on top of all these disasters, she had the breath of a skunk that just sprayed before it died. If the woman just sat there and smiled, you'll be dazzled; but the moment she says hi, you'll flee and ask who she is; and you would find out she has all the deadly diseases that had you committed fornication with her you would have contracted them as well. And I do mean for this example to be as graphic as possible because this is what it is comparable to.

⁵And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Her name is mystery, in all caps, Babylon the Great (in all caps), the Mother of harlots and the abominations of the earth (all in caps). If she is the 'Mother' she has children. This organization is not hiding, they have publicly made it clear they do not go along with all that is written in the bible, they acknowledge themselves as the Mother Church. On your own look up organizations that call themselves the "Mother Church" when it comes to Christianity.

John was carried away looking at her beauty, her richness, "oh look how beautiful the church is, look at all the pretty statues and images of God, look at the soft nice singing, don't forget the nice dazzling robes of the leaders, it's all so very beautiful and holy." This is why I make a point that whatever the world loves and deems beautiful, I am sure to hate and prove it's beauty. I recommend you do the same. Do not let television tell you this is "America's Next Top Model," or you should go to this much levels of school to be recognized, or what ever it is that everyone is doing. I always tended to stay in the back of massive trends just in case the monster woke up; then as we run away from the monster, all of the sudden I'm in the front of the line. By the time he eats up 97% of the people in the front, the 3% in the back are riding safe because the monster is already full.

⁹And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

Here we have a lot of information. The seven heads are the seven mountains where the woman, the great whore, sits. Here is a good homework assignment, go look up the nation that geographically sits on seven hills or seven mountains and you would have found the great whore, the Mother of all harlots, and Babylon the great.

¹⁰And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

¹¹And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

I mentioned earlier that we know the 10 kings that attempted to reset the Roman Empire, and how we are down to the last one, Benito Mussolini being the last. There are men who say John is saying five have already fallen as he wrote this and that one is, and one is to come. They give examples of Assyria, Egypt, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, have fallen, Rome is (at the time of John's writing), so two more were to come. You can try to hold some light to this but it is incorrect because good luck in finding the two who are to come.

John is giving prophecy, and just as Daniel named all the kingdoms that to come, yet he himself only wrote that during Babylon's kingdom with Nebuchadnezzar, the Lord is giving the information and knows what lies ahead, thus it is how the prophets get the information. Daniel did not understand many of the things he wrote because the understanding would come to the generation in which it is for. The same principle applies to verse 10 and all of the book of Revelation. By the time people will come to understanding of this scripture, five would have been fallen, one would have been with one more to come. Imagine the generation that reads this while the last one is; will they be thrown off because of the time they are reading this? If they do not have understanding, yes!

When the last ruler comes into the power, he is going to have a co-ruler who is the eighth; but he's of the seven. So there is only seven, with two men being the seventh; but there is not eight.

¹²And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

These are ten Gentile nations with other nations under them that will join in with the beast and go along with the doctrine and have power one hour with the beast. One hour, the hour of temptation, the great tribulation and they will all give their power to the beast; for one hour, they all have the same mindset. And the beast will convince them to go to war against the Jesus, they must describe Jesus as an alien invasion for them to believe that. I can't imagine them saying, "well now the Lord is back, He is God, He can't die, He doesn't get hurt, and He may have some stuff up His Holy sleeve that man has never seen before, but I think we can beat Him."

That is not even the conversation they are having. The conversation will go more like this, "the earth is being invaded by aliens that appear to be from Pluto, we've held this information from the public so that there is no panic, and we've had it for the last 40 years studying these aliens. They are destructible and we must defend our earth." If you are in any military at this time and you see them urging to fight aliens; I suggest you lay down and pretend to be dead or badly injured so you are relieved of your duties because it is certain the Lord will kill everyone that shows up to this battle.

¹⁴These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

After that war, the nations will hate the whore, the mother church and will burn her down to the ground and God has put it in their minds to do this. Verse 15 and verse 18 explain what certain symbols and scriptures mean.

Revelation 18

¹And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

²And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

An angel came and announced that Babylon the great has fallen, the habitation of devils is what it has become. The angel tells the people who want to be with the Lord to come out of this organization, and not only them; but the daughter organizations she has had over the years. Come out and don't be a part of their sins. She is going to get double the punishment for her sins because she lived so well and rich.

⁷How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

Merchants who made a lot of money selling to this organization, selling crosses, and many other things will feel it, not only in their purses and wallets, but in their soul will hurt as well.

¹⁷For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,

¹⁹And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

²⁰Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. I will rejoice if it a commandment because we aren't to rejoice at the fall of our enemies; but this is a big enemy and the Lord finally avenged His prophets, apostle's, and saints.

²⁴And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

In one hour the Lord took her down and when you go by the rubble of their monuments; you'll see the blood of prophets and saints that they killed in efforts to stomp the truth off of the earth.

This will conclude our reading for the today. We will finish the bible tomorrow. Praise the Lord.

Day 82 Reading the Bible in 90 Days

Welcome to the long and winding road as we continue our stretch. Today we're going to finish Corinthians and also go into Galatians.

1 Corinthians 15

¹Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

²By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

The statement many people ask you concerning Christianity often times is, is one saved. "Are you saved," they ask as they are evangelizing. This is awkward questioned if you are not knowledgeable and inappropriate question if you are. The verse above adds to what Jesus said in Matthew 24, "he that endures to the end shall be saved." Paul says the preached to us the gospel and we are saved if we keep in memory all that he has preached over the years. You have to constantly be doing what Paul teaches, which is ultimately what Jesus taught in order to be saved. If you stop, if you do not endure to the end; you will not be saved. So is there a once saved, always saved? No, you can always fall from grace.

Paul tells us that everything said about Jesus is true; that He died and rose on the third day, and was seen by many, then finally seen by Paul like one born out of due season (v8). Jesus was born into the God family ahead of the appointed time, which is to be at the seventh day. In terms of God birth, He was like a premature baby .

People in Paul's day did not believe in the Resurrection, and many today do not; however, these same people attend church and keep faith in the scripture. This is backwards; if there were no Resurrection I must be perfectly honest, there would be no reason to sit and read 12 chapters a day for the last 82 days. There is no great reward in this life to look towards, and no damnable punishment to fear; so it would be a free for all. Paul says if there is no resurrection then Christ wasn't raised. If Christ wasn't raised, we are still in our sins and doomed for death. All our loved ones who died and finished, never to be seen again and everything we do in serving God is in vain. In vain means for nothing.

²⁰But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. ²¹For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. ²²For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. ²³But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

However, Jesus did rise from the dead, the first fruits of them that slept or died. In the feast of weeks; you are to wave your first fruits to the Lord, this represented Christ. Every man will be made alive in order, first Jesus, then all who died in Jesus Christ, and they will be raised at His coming. There is no man in heaven right now; but we already knew and confirmed that in the Old Testament.

Death Destroyed

²⁶The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

Paul also explains that we will have the same looking body; but it will not be of flesh and blood. However, we must sow or plant this body in order to get a new body (v32-50). We are made of earth now; so we are earthy; but when we are resurrected we will have a heavenly body. When a seed is planted, you just don't get the fruit; you get a tree bearing fruit; so our resurrection or change will be glorious.

The Last Trumpet

⁵¹Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

⁵²In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Not all will die; but all will be changed into bodies that are incorruptible. In a twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet blown, which is the seventh trumpet. Then death will be put away.

⁵⁵O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? ⁵⁶The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

This great sting of death will be removed out of the righteous existence. Death is stinging; not only to the one who died; but more to the close family and friends the dead left behind. It is a sting that reminds us or should remind us rather of the painful decision to listen to Satan rather than God in the Garden of Eden. Every time someone dies, especially those close to us, it should remind you of the destruction sin has made on the earth. Hopefully, it sobers one to focus on God and Christ and avoid sin.

1 Corinthians 16

Paul is making plans, his travel plans with the saints and he is still keeping the feast of the Lord. ⁸But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. We will not move into the second book of Corinthians

2 Corinthians 1 Paul is still only greeting the Father and the Christ. I think Paul is a bit arrogant towards God the Holy Ghost. He has not greeted him in none of his letters as of yet.

²Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. ³Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

Paul tells us in this letter that we will have tribulations as he had great afflictions from God. He was near death plenty of times, and we read some of them in the Acts; but God delivers.

In 2 Corinthians chapter 2

Paul, being heavy of heart writes that we should all be forgiving people. Just as the example Jesus gave to forgive, we should always keep that in mind to forgive our brothers and sisters so that we can obtain mercy from the Father in Heaven.

2 Corinthians 3

Paul speaks on the glory of the New Covenant. If during the administration of death, which we are living in today, Moses was able to shine with the glory of God among the children of Israel, then certainly in the administration of life, which is to come and is with Jesus, the shine will be more glorious. Moses had to use a veil; but when we see Christ in His glory, we will not have to use a veil and Christ we will see in His full glory.

2 Corinthians 4

We share the gospel freely Paul adjures, we hold nothing back; if someone does not have it, it is because they are lost and refused it being blind to the ruler of this world, the devil. They did not want the gospel of truth that is in Christ, who is the image of God.

¹⁴Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

¹⁷For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

¹⁸While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

We are working hard each day of our lives to show ourselves approved of God, and we know God raised up Christ from the dead. So the hardships we go through in this life are just for a moment; it seems hard now; but the reward or eternal life and abundant life is not to compare to the few minutes of hardship we are having now. The key is verse 18; to look towards the things not seen; what is seen, the new car, is temporal, but what is not seen, the house of many mansions is eternal.

2 Corinthians 5

¹For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

This chapter is not meant to confuse but it can do a good job of it if you don't have a good understanding. Our body is our tabernacle, that is why on the Feast of Tabernacles, you dwell in temporary booths for seven days, then on the eighth day you get out of that booth. The seven days represents the 7 days you have in the flesh as a man (or woman). On the eighth day, you become God, if you've lived according to His ways, or you go into destruction. Same things with the circumcision, 7 days you have the foreskin representing flesh, then on the eighth day you are to circumcise the child representing the rolling off of flesh, being man, into becoming God.

So when we speak of a earthly house, we are indeed speaking of this body we are in now. It is not to say when we die, we leave this body and go to our heavenly body; but rather we will be changed into that body. Paul is speaking it as a metaphor, which make people thing they have a new body waiting for them; as if they look like Margaret Thatcher now, but when they receive their new body they will look like Cindy Crawford. That is not the case! What you have now, is what you'll have in the kingdom, except with more glory and shine.

⁶Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

While we are in the flesh, we are no good to the Father. He created us to be perfect beings to live forever. We search and found a way to die and so while we are in the flesh we are absent from the Lord.

¹⁰For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

We all will have to and we are doing so now; if you do so righteously now; you will avoid standing in judgment but will judge. Therefore we must continue our work as ambassadors for Christ. We should seek to get as many into His kingdom as possible.

2 Corinthians 6

¹We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

¹⁴Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

¹⁵And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

People usually take this and run with the globe thinking it is pertaining to marriage. They believe this gives them a reason to divorce their spouse because they are baptist and their spouse is Lutheran. It does not; rather Paul is saying don't spend quality time with unbelievers who refuse to believe. Remember, one spoiled apple can ruin the entire bag; this is why Jesus had a message of destroy evil out of Israel because it is cancerous. Before long you will have to kill the entire nation because you did not kill the two or three rebellious people.

Now the message is spare them, love them, take care of the evil people. Let the wheat grow with the tares, and they will be separated at the end of the the harvest because evil and good are intermingled like a black and white in the United States. Be careful in your engagement to unrighteous people, keep your guard and edge and purpose to attempt to shed light on them and not allow them to respread their darkness onto you.

2 Corinthians 7

¹Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

With all the promises of eternal life, rulership, no tears, no sorrow, we should rid ourselves of all filthiness and perfect our walk with the Lord. Why risk missing out on all of His goodness He has stored for us?

2nd Corinthians chapter 8

Being generous towards one another is goal of the godly to keep and establish. ⁹For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

Jesus made Himself poor just so He can serve us; so we should constantly be thinking of giving and being generous towards one another.

2 Corinthians 9

¹For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:

⁶But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

⁷Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Although this is a preachers favorite line, "God loves a cheerful giver" it is a true line. Keep your tithes if you are unhappy to give it. Have you ever been bugged by someone about an item, then finally you say, "fine you can have it, take it!" Does the person take it? If they really needed the item, they will, but where I grew up they usually say something to the effect of, "I don't even want it anymore."

If you are not happy to give to God and to your fellow human, simply do not give then.

2 Corinthians Chapter 10

Paul is defending his ministry. Obviously some men had problems with how he was spreading the word of God; so Paul just takes measured steps to show that his work has been after the Lord.

¹⁸For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth. The bottom line is that we need not approval from men; but from the Lord only.

2 Corinthians 11

¹Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.

²For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

³But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

⁴For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

Paul feared that after all his teaching, people will be subtly tricked into another doctrine that does not belong to Jesus yet it uses His name all the day long. So we have to be aware if someone comes to us preaching about another Jesus who Paul and the disciples have not preached about. We have to be aware of someone who comes with a spirit we have not heard. If they do, we should bear with them, or deal with them.

What do you mean another Jesus, I didn't know there were two? We read that it was Jesus custom to go into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and read and teach. We read Paul and the disciples doing like their Master as well. How often do we go to the church on the Sabbath day and read or be taught or teach?

Jesus said He has long time desired to come to the earth to Jerusalem. How often have you desired to be raptured into heaven to be with the Lord?

Jesus said He will raise up all that was given to Him on the last day. How often have you looked to heaven and thought about your loved one smiling down on you? You see, this is Jesus, and the other is the other Jesus that Paul is warning us to look out for and when we see that other Jesus we need to straighten him out.

¹³For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

¹⁴And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

¹⁵Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

There were false prophets in the days of the children of Israel, so even there are false apostles in this day working deceit making themselves to be apostles of Jesus Christ. This is not amazing because they get it from Satan who made himself an angel of light. Satan couldn't trick anyone if you walked in the building and he said, "welcome to the house of Satan." I think anyone looking for Jesus would run. However, if Satan welcomed you in the name of Jesus, then proceed to share his doctrine cloaked under the name of Jesus, unless you read for yourself you would not know you are being hoodwinked.

Paul Boasts Boldly

²¹I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.

²²Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.

Paul let's us know that he went through the ringer in serving the Lord. We read about some in Acts; but there is more (v23-28). He let's us know again that he is a Hebrew Israelite of the seed of Abraham just like the Pharisees and any other teacher of the bible.

Sometimes, it is good to read someones credentials.

2 Corinthians 12

Paul Reflects on the Day He was Blinded

¹It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

²I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

³And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)

This is thought to be his famous out of body experience that movies have been based on; but it was simply the way he described it and a bit of lack of knowledge by people that has caused this. Paul knew a man Christ about 14 years ago, if Christ was in the earthly body or in His heavenly body, Paul could not tell only God knows. Paul said Christ was like someone caught up to the third heaven. This let's us know that there are three heavens; but more important to our fact is that Paul could not tell if Jesus appeared to him physically or was He in the third heaven shouting down to Paul. Paul could not know because light shined on him and blinded him to the ground.

Paul did not go to the third heaven, and he did not have an out of body experience. Whatever happened to Paul that day, he could not tell what it was, so how can we?

⁴How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. Here Paul is speaking of Jesus and not himself.

2 Corinthians 13

¹This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

Jesus said the same thing and Moses wrote it that in two or three witnesses is a fact established.

⁵Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

⁶But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.

¹⁴The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

Okay the Holy Ghost is mentioned but not in the capacity of God. Jesus also already told us that the comforter is the Holy Ghost, He will send in His name to comfort us. So we just have to find out what it is exactly and we will read about it soon.

Galatians 1

¹Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)

²And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: ³Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

Paul was made an apostle by Jesus Christ, and not ordained by men. He greets us again by the Father and by Christ.

¹²For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. ¹⁷Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.

¹⁸Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.

Paul was separated by Jesus to teach the nations. It says Gentiles a lot because the Gentiles (Romans) were ruling at the time and are now; but Paul was the apostle to the nations, the heathens and not just the Gentiles. He was not taught by man; after he was blinded he went into Arabia, then to Damascus for roughly three years, reading the scriptures over to get the solid understanding to be an able teacher of Christ. Then he came back and met with Peter about his mission.

¹⁹But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. When we see or saw James the son of Mary; this is referring to Jesus brother in the flesh that Mary had after Jesus among other children. James is also the author of the book of James we will read shortly. With Paul's conversion; many people glorified God. We know how it is to see a guy who is good for nothing change his life and we immediately have to give God the glory for this.

Galatians Chapter 2

Paul was given a hard time after his conversion; but was ultimately accepted by the apostles. ⁷But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;

Paul was sent to teach the heathen or what the Jews called the uncircumcision, just as Peter was sent to the lost tribes of Israel or the circumcision to teach the gospel.

Paul confronted Peter however, because he and the other apostles were not doing right. They ate with Gentiles secretly; but when other Jews came they would separate themselves as if they had no dealings with the Gentiles. Paul was not happy with this because, if Peter being a Jew is compelling Gentiles to live as the Jew; why was he acting like a Gentiles; one who is respecter of persons.

²¹I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Our faith in Jesus is what will keep us; not our deeds of the law. Which law?

Galatians Chapter 3

So do we have faith in Jesus as our sacrifice or do we continue to keep the law of animal sacrifice? This is what this chapter is saying while leaving words out. Do we have faith in Jesus or do we keep the law? It is obvious, some Jews in Galatia had reverted back to killing and sacrificing animals to God. Doing this voids Jesus and puts no faith in His death and resurrection as our passover lamb.

¹³Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

¹⁴That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the law of animal sacrifice. After we sinned; we had to go get a goat or lamb and kill it to make atonement of our sins. It was pointless because the animal didn't sin, we did, so it didn't even remove our sin. Paying a speeding ticket doesn't remove it from your record. Paying bail doesn't remove being arrested from your record. Getting a pardon and a forgiveness removes those from your record. Jesus pardoned us; and removed the curse of killing animals as was law to do; and instead we find grace through Him.

Jesus tells the Father to forgive him, he didn't mean to do it. That is how we get grace from our High Priest, Jesus Christ.

¹⁷And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

Genesis 17 is the covenant; and Jesus confirmed it; now this covenant came 430 before the law of animal sacrifice. Animal sacrificial law cannot dis annul the promise that God made Abraham.

¹⁹Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

The law was added because of sins. So we know for a fact this is animal sacrificial law. The wages of sin is death; so instead of man dying, God implemented a temporary law to slow down sinning. It was not in the laws of the world to go to jail for murder. It was added for those who broke the law and murdered someone.

²⁴Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. The law of animal sacrifice was to let us know what Jesus was for us; a sin offering. When we sinned and an animal took our place in dying we were suppose to see that this is exactly what Jesus was going to do in place of the animal for us. Instead we just continue to enjoy the great taste of roasted lamb and goat, and even brought other unclean animals into the mix.

²⁸There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

²⁹And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Once you have faith in Jesus and are baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, we become one, no longer Jews, Gentiles, rich, poor, men, women, but are one in Jesus Christ. We still must keep the commandments of the Lord but not the animal sacrificial commandment, which He nailed to the cross when the veil ripped in the temple when He died.

This concludes our reading today; we will see again tomorrow.
