Jud 1:11 ASV - Woe unto them! For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.
Abraham and his family (Sarah, Isaac, and Jacob) were promised the land flowing with milk and honey. "These all died in faith, not having received the promises." They did not personally possess the promised land. Yet, they lived with a sense of guaranty that God would fulfill His promises: "but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them." They fully accepted the certainty that the Lord would some day give that land to their seed. Meanwhile, they confessed that they were content to live as strangers concerning this world and as pilgrims anticipating the world to come: "and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth."
Now, the pilgrimage aspect of Abraham's testimony (and his family's) is emphasized. "For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland." As the years passed and the promised land was not given to them, their hearts yearned for a true, lasting, eternal homeland. "For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland." God wants to develop this perspective of heavenly pilgrimage in our hearts as well. "Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul" (1 Peter 2:11). The Lord wants us to set our daily course toward heaven, rejecting earthly cravings that diminish spiritual vitality. Bob Hoekstra

Exd 20:19 ASV - And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
Exd 20:20 ASV - And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye sin not.
Exd 20:24 ASV - An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in every place where I record my name I will come unto thee and I will bless thee.
Exd 20:25 ASV - And if thou make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. Isaiah 28-16 the stone is Christ,uncut not conformed unto man so he was rejected,builders rejected this tried and precious stone. Unless you build upon the rock the house will not stand.
Exd 20:26 ASV - Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not uncovered thereon. You think God is saying here that there is only one way, his way, Christ is the door and no man can come to God except through Christ . The steps here is mans ideal of how to reach God, could this be the traditions of man making void the word of God. An altar of earth God said of uncut stone and Christ is the chief corner stone, Man cuts the stone to fit their doctrines and then they call it Gods steps to righteousness. 2Cr 5:1 ASV - For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.
2Cr 5:2 ASV - For verily in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven:
2Cr 5:3 ASV - if so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
Steps in Heb=
We are the righteousness of God in Christ, Man in their on minds have worked out their own plan of who God is and what wants. Aside from scripture and the whole word they go contrary even from the beginning of time. Cain offered a gift unto God but God rejected his gift. Why did God reject his offering,it was not the gift itself it was the way it was brought to God. God was seeing Cains heart as he brought this gift and it proves out as we read on. But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. It says unto Cain and his offering ,the name Cain in the Heb= Possession. Unless God build the house it will not stand. Cain represents a lot of men today, the spirit of Cain is alive today. Men have no respect for the true word of God and their hearts are far from the Lord it says in Amos they worship me with their lips but their hearts are far from me. From the beginning of time ,from Cain to today. Men bring their fruit and their fruit is whats in their heart we know that we are saved by Grace and that is a gift from God a gift of Faith ,their is absolutely nothing we can do in our flesh to be saved. So what ever Gift we give to God it has to be generated by his gift of faith. And his (Cains) countenance fell, countenance in the Heb= is FACE or the Face of God ,so it is apparent he is being ruled by his flesh and it is from his heart outward, 2Cr 10:3 ASV - For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh
2Cr 10:4 ASV - (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds),
2Cr 10:5 ASV - casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ; It says casting down strongholds , what was the stronghold in Cains life resentment,hatred,bitterness Gal 5:17 ASV - For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would. Rom 2:27 ASV - and shall not the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who with the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law?
Rom 2:29 ASV - but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Rom 7:6 ASV - But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that wherein we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
2Cr 3:6 ASV - who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. The word says that we pass from the old into the new the old testament was a type and a shadow of better things to come, The old was the letter of the law and the new is the new life God gives to every man that believes,the first Adam and than the second Adam. From death unto life. So back to the strongholds in Cains life,what he did was not a spur of the moment thing this was a festering sore in Cains heart that would not heal. But God told him there is a way a remedy for your heart , If thou doest well, shall it not be lifted up. It was his heart and the only medicine that would cure his heart REPENTANCE, God said if you do well it shall be lifted ,if not sin is standing ready to consume you, first comes lust than sin than death. 2Cr 10:5 ASV - casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and the knowledge we have is his word everything that is contrary to Gods word is sin. Cain was wroth or the Heb is ,to be hot, furious, burn, become angry, be kindled. Where do you think the saying comes from , That just burns me up!!! .So we see that Cain let this fire of bitterness seethe in him to the point that it became his desire and his master and he murdered his brother in a fit of rage. Cain thought that he could offer some kind of gift other than his heart and he failed,so it is as some men to day they not only are strangers to the word of God but they don't know who God is. The word was made flesh and dwell among us Jesus said you see me you see the father. He is the very image of God himself Jhn 10:25 ASV - Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father's name, these bear witness of me. And what is the witness of Christ, its that God was in Christ 2Cr 5:19 ASV - to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Luk 8:15 ASV - And that in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with patience.
Mat 3:8 ASV - Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance:
Jhn 10:38 ASV - But if I do them, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father. Rom 9:16 ASV - So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy. The gift we give is a gift of surrender we give back to God his son Christ in you the hope of glory. There is only one fruit that is acceptable unto God the fruit of his spirit and the fruit of Gods spirit is the very nature of Christ himself. 2Cr 3:3 ASV - being made manifest that ye are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in tables [that are] hearts of flesh.
Gen 4:3 ASV - And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto Jehovah.
Gen 4:4 ASV - And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And Jehovah had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
Gen 4:5 ASV - but unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
Gen 4:6 ASV - And Jehovah said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
Gen 4:7 ASV - If thou doest well, shall it not be lifted up? and if thou doest not well, sin coucheth at the door: and unto thee shall be its desire, but do thou rule over it.
So we know Cain represents all man kind that is not not ruled by the Spirit of God. His name Cain means Possession, verse three says in the process of time it came to pass. Luk 8:15 ASV - And that in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with patience.
Mat 3:8 ASV - Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance: Hbr 12:14 ASV - Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:
Hbr 12:15 ASV - looking carefully lest [there be] any man that falleth short of the grace of God; Speaking of Esau and Cain for he found no place for a change of mind
Hbr 12:16 ASV - lest [there be] any fornication, or profane person, as Esau, who for one mess of meat sold his own birthright.
Hbr 12:17 ASV - For ye know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no place for a change of mind [in his father,] though he sought is diligently with tears. How many people do you know today are having great problems with serving God and cant find that peace of heart they seek for, they are up one day and down the next. Its one obstacle after another, the bible says make his paths straight ,first came John than comes Jesus John brought in repentance Acts 2:38 The men listening to Peter were pricked in their hearts and said what must we do to be SAVED. Well peter told them and you and me and every one else that reads this word and believes. It says of Esau verse 17 for he found no place for a change of mind ,he could not forgive he would not forgive. So it is in this life today so many people are bound up in their life's they want all of God but they want to serve God their way, they just cant forgive Hbr 12:15 ASV - looking carefully lest [there be] any man that falleth short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and thereby the many be defiled; Hbr 12:13 ASV - and make straight paths for your feet, that that which is lame be not turned out of the way, but rather be healed. It is saying here that there is a healing for you and me that if we repent and turn our hearts to God he will heal us and restore us ,what ever has crippled us, makes us of no effect will be taken away and he will bring healing to us. Gal 5:1 ASV - For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage
Mat 5:23 NLT - "So if you are standing before the altar in the Temple, offering a sacrifice to God, and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you, or you have something against them.
Mat 5:24 NLT - leave your sacrifice there beside the altar. Go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God. You see this is what God was saying to Cain and to Esau
Mat 5:25 NLT - Come to terms quickly with your enemy before it is too late and you are dragged into court, handed over to an officer, and thrown in jail. Mat 5:26 NLT - I assure you that you won't be free again until you have paid the last penny. With out repenatence a change of heart we put ourselfs in a spitiural prison we lock ourselfs up, Bitterness will destroy us. What does the word say about this 1Cr 13:13 ASV - But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love. Rom 13:10 ASV - Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the fulfilment of the law.
Pro 14:12 ASV - There is a way which seemeth right unto a man; But the end thereof are the ways of death.
Mat 5:26 NLT - I assure you that you won't be free again until you have paid the last penny. Love is the fulfilling of every law
God bless you all

Are you full of oil and trimed
Mat 25:1 ASV - Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Mat 25:2 ASV - And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
Mat 25:3 ASV - For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them:
Mat 25:4 ASV - but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Mat 25:5 ASV - Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
Mat 25:6 ASV - But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him.
Mat 25:7 ASV - Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. the word trimmed in the greek Verb Strong's Number: g2885 Greek: kosmeo
Adorn, Adorning:
primarily "to arrange, to put in order" (Eng., "cosmetic"), is used of furnishing a room, Mat 12:44; Luk 11:25, and of trimming lamps, Mat 25:7. Hence, "to adorn, to ornament, the foolish virgins like the people that are not waiting and watching for the Lord will see they have been living in the world and not for God and they will run to try and get their self's right with God they have been deceived
And then they will run to the door and shout open unto us Lord we have fed the poor and cast out demons done works in your name. Jesus said I know not from whose house you are from,I do not know you Eze 43:10 ASV - Thou, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern. We are Israel all Israel and their is a pattern a more perfect way It is to let Romans 6 live in us. What does it say, he is coming back for a bride with out spot or wrinkle. Unrepentant sin will separate people from God.
Mat 25:8 ASV - And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.
Mat 25:9 ASV - But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. Its to late at this point and when the rains came and it began to flood it says that Noah and his people could hear the screams from those that refused to hear the word of the Lord And God shut the door to the ark. Jhn 1:1 ASV - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Jhn 1:4 ASV - In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Jhn 1:5 ASV - And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.
Jhn 1:9 ASV - There was the true light, [even the light] which lighteth every man, coming into the world. Mat 25:10 ASV - And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut.
Mat 25:11 ASV - Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Mat 25:12 ASV - But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Mat 25:13 ASV - Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.
Strongs Number: g1637 Greek: elaion
Oil:
"olive oil," is mentioned over 200 times in the Bible. Different kinds were known in Palestine. The "pure," RV (AV, "beaten"), mentioned in Exd 27:20; 29:40; Lev 24:2; Num 28:5 (now known as virgin oil), extracted by pressure, without heat, is called "golden" in Zec 4:12.
The pure oil it says is extracted by pressure this I believe is speaking of the trials of our faith
the daily working of lifes journey with Jesus, People have a hard time with trials and hardships
Rom 5:3 ASV - And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness;
Rom 8:35 ASV - Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Rom 12:12 ASV - rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing stedfastly in prayer;
Rom 5:3 ASV - And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness;
Rom 5:4 ASV - and stedfastness, approvedness; and approvedness, hope:
Rom 5:5 ASV - and hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given unto us. Here is the pressing of the oil the golden oil ,the word tribulation in the greek Noun Strong's Number: g2347 Greek: thlipsis
Afflict (-ed), Affliction:
primarily means "a pressing, pressure" (see A, No. 4), anything which burdens the spirit. In two passages in Paul's Epistles it is used of future retribution, in the way of "affliction," Rom 2:9; 2Th 1:6. In Mat 24:9, the AV renders it as a verb, "to be afflicted," (RV, "unto tribulation"). It is coupled with stenochoria, "anguish," in Rom 2:9; 8:35; with ananke, "distress," 1Th 3:7; with diogmos, "persecution," Mat 13:21; Mar 4:17; 2Th 1:4. It is used of the calamities of war, Mat 24:21, 29; Mar 13:19, 24; of want, 2Cr 8:13, lit., "distress for you;" Phl 4:14 (cp. Phl 1:16); Jam 1:27; of the distress of woman in child-birth, Jhn 16:21; of persecution, Act 11:19; 14:22; 20:23; 1Th 3:3, 7; Hbr 10:33; Rev 2:10; 7:14; of the "afflictions" of Christ, from which (His vicarious sufferings apart) his followers must not shrink, whether sufferings of body or mind, Col 1:24; of sufferings in general 1) a pressing, pressing together, pressure
2) metaph. oppression, affliction, tribulation, distress, straits
Mat 26:36 ASV - Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray. No greater love, he laid down his life no one took it,he said the evil one is coming for me but he has nothing in me. He was a lamb perfect no shadow in his turning he was full of light. And that life he laid down he took it up again
on the third day and now he is in the hearts of all that believe. His example was that he gave his body to the cross the flesh profits nothing, He said I am the way the truth and the life, we will all lay down our life one day, just like Jesus why did he says pick up your cross and follow me, his was a physical death to bring about a spiritual death in us death to the carnal man, and in the days to come if it is Gods will we to will be witness of him. The cross is a sign of suffering Gethsemane = "an oil press"
1) the name of a place at the foot of the Mount of Olives, beyond the torrent Kidron It was fitting for Christ to go to this garden Gethsemane this great stone weight that was use to extract the oil
from the olives,and the golden oil for the lamps. Act 14:22 ASV - confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God. The Number Ten ,It has been already pointed out that ten is one of the perfect numbers, and signifies the perfection of Divine order, commencing, as it does, an altogether new series of numbers. The first decade is the representative of the whole numeral system, and originates the system of calculation called "decimals," because the whole system of numeration consists of so many tens, of which the first is a type of the whole Completeness of order, marking the entire round of anything, is, therefore, the ever-present signification of the number ten. It implies that nothing is wanting; that the number and order are perfect; that the whole cycle is complete.
Strong's Number: g2985 Greek: lampas
Lamp:
denotes "a torch" (akin to lampo, "to shine"), frequently fed, like, a "lamp," with oil from a little vessel used for the purpose (the angeion of Mat 25:4); they held little oil and would frequently need replenishing. Rutherford (The New Phrynichus) points out that it became used as the equivalent of luchnos (No. 2), as in the parable of the Ten Virgins, Mat 25:1, 3, 4, 7, 8; Jhn 18:3, "torches;" Act 20:8, "lights;" Rev 4:5; 8:10 (RV, "torch," AV, "lamp"). See Note below. Cp. phanos, "a torch," Jhn 18:3 (translated "lanterns").
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak, we need to communion with the Lord daily if not hourly. It says the lamps were small in size so they needed to carry extra oil. So is our flesh like a small lamp we get side tracked with cares of living so we must make a daily effort to fill this body with oil the presents of the Lord it says they all slept, Jesus said pray and watch while I go a little ways to pray, but they all fell asleep.
Mat 25:2 ASV - And five of them were foolish, and five were wise. Virgins in the greek 1) a virgin
a) a marriageable maiden
b) a woman who has never had sexual intercourse with a man
c) one's marriageable daughter
2) a man who has abstained from all uncleanness and whoredom attendant on idolatry, and so has kept his chastity
a) one who has never had intercourse with women You cannot lok at this in the flesh but the spirit we are Gods bride we are his virgins and from the day of our salvation we than determine to live that chaste life in the holy ghost and the word of God is the seed that Jesus is sowing and in time it will bring about the MAN CHILD Jhn 16:21 ASV - A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world. This is Christ in you the hope of Glory Rev 12:5 ASV - And she was delivered of a son, a man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne.
Rev 12:13 ASV - And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman that brought forth the man [child]. Gal 2:20 ASV - I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that [life] which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, [the faith] which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. Eze 43:10 ASV - Thou, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern. There is a true house that God has given to us all and that house is Christ the PATTERN SON we must take of him, put on the lord Jesus Christ
Mat 10:38 ASV - And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
Mat 11:29 ASV - Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Jhn 10:18 ASV - No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment received I from my Father.
Jhn 16:14 ASV - He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall declare [it] unto you. This is the true oil of the true virgins of God Rom 7:4 KJV - Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, [even] to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. There is only one place in the bible where we find Beulah it is a place a land where God will take us in the end Isaiah 62;1-5
Hephz-bah in the Heb is My delight and Beulah is To marry,posses,to ruel over,to own and be Lord
The number Five in the greek Strong's Number: g4002 Greek: pente
Five, Five Times:
is derived by some from words suggesting the fingers of a hand, or a fist. The word is frequent in the Gospels. Pentakis, "five times," is found in 2Cr 11:24;
The number five in the numerics
Redemption follows creation. Inasmuch as in consequence of the fall of man creation came under the curse and was "made subject to vanity," therefore man and creation must be redeemed. Thus we have:
1. Father
2. Son
3. Spirit
4. Creation
5. Redemption
These are the five great mysteries, and five is therefore the number of GRACE.
So we can see that five of the virgins were not in the spirit, five fingers on the hand represents the works of the flesh being overwhelmed by the cares of the world therefore they were busy pleasing there other husband married to the world, keep in mind we are speaking of the bride of Christ the body of his believers. Rom 7:1 ASV - Or are ye ignorant, brethren (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law hath dominion over a man for so long time as he liveth?
Rom 7:2 ASV - For the woman that hath a husband is bound by law to the husband while he liveth; but if the husband die, she is discharged from the law of the husband.
Rom 7:3 ASV - So then if, while the husband liveth, she be joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if the husband die, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she be joined to another man. As long as we are married to the world we are bound to this world but if we should be set free from another husband by death we are free to marry another.
So now being married to Christ Jesus we do the works of the Kingdom of God pleasing him whom we love. 1Cr 15:47 ASV - The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven.
1Cr 15:48 ASV - As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
1Cr 15:49 ASV - And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. The law is of the flesh and we have been set free from the Law the curse of the Law
Gal 3:10 ASV - For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.
Gal 3:13 ASV - Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Rev 22:3 ASV - And there shall be no curse any more: and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be therein: and his servants shall serve him; So the Lord is saying come out from among them come out of the world and serve him, love not the world nor the things thereof. So we see here that the curse is still working in the earth for if Christ is not in you and he has redeemed you from the curse than it is working in the earth . Mat 8:16 ASV - And when even was come, they brought unto him many possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick:
Mar 1:34 ASV - And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.
Mar 6:13 ASV - And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.
Mar 6:56 ASV - And wheresoever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole. This the power of Christ over the curse and he healed them all that CAME!! to him the bible says.
1Cr 11:23 ASV - For I received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread;
1Cr 11:24 ASV - and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, This is my body, which is for you: this do in remembrance of me.
1Cr 11:25 ASV - In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye drink [it], in remembrance of me.
1Cr 11:26 ASV - For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord's death till he come.
1Cr 11:27 ASV - Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
1Cr 11:28 ASV - But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
1Cr 11:29 ASV - For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body.
1Cr 11:30 ASV - For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
1Cr 11:31 ASV - But if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged.
1Cr 11:32 ASV - But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world. What is Paul saying here if we are of the foolish virgins caught up in our fleshly ways not obeying the word not living holy and separate unto God,no fence riders here my friends. Its all or nothing Grace is the power the five wise virgins had to overcome in this world the Lord makes a way for us he gives us power to overcome, That is why the book speaks of the mark of the beast that is in the hand, the works of the flesh or the forehead the mind of the flesh . Rom 12 :1-2 Is so powerful we are to lay down our fleshly works at the cross and by this great and powerful word we RENEW OUR MINDS unto the word of righteousness . And if we look closely we see that this parable concerning the virgins was taking place in the night, a time when most people are sleeping. Are you sleeping or are you a watchman on the wall are you looking for his return even now ! He said he would come as a thief in the night when the world will least expect him he will come. It also said when the bridegroom came and took the five wise virgins he went in to the marriage feast and the door was SHUT !! Just as the door to the Ark with Noah and his family. We must inter into the Ark of safety God has provided, his word is our safety, And obedience to that word will save us look at Psalm 91 this word is for us today and if we believe it and trust in it you can see he will deliver us in that hour, the night in the parable also I believe represents the last days when the world begins to spin out of control, And man no longer has a solution to his problems and the devil is turned loose on the earth Rev 12:1 ASV - And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars; The glory of God in his sun in his church,the moon is a dead star no way to emit light except by the SON sun the word of God, The crown of stars twelve stars they represent the true gospel preached by the disciples. 1Cr 15:35 ASV - But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what manner of body do they come?
1Cr 15:36 ASV - Thou foolish one, that which thou thyself sowest is not quickened except it die:
1Cr 15:37 ASV - and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other kind;
1Cr 15:38 ASV - but God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
1Cr 15:39 ASV - All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one [flesh] of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes.
1Cr 15:40 ASV - There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial is another.
1Cr 15:41 ASV - There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory.
Rev 12:2 ASV - and she was the child; and she crieth out, travailing in birth, and in pain to be delivered. You will notice it says she the woman was THE CHILD not with child, this means that Christ the man child has been made manifest in his people, so at that moment we will be celestial bodies in a moment in the twinkling of an eye we shall all be changed.
Rev 12:3 ASV - And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems.
Rev 12:4 ASV - And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child. The third part of the stars is a third of man kind will be cast to the earth this is something to think on, could theses people be like the five foolish virgins that started off with a right heart and God shut the door , you decided and when you do , look up the word Blot out his name in Rev 3:5 Blot Greek: exaleipho
Blot Out:
from ek, "out," used intensively, and aleipho, "to wipe," signifies "to wash, or to smear completely." Hence, metaphorically, in the sense of removal, "to wipe away, wipe off, obliterate;" Act 3:19, of sins; Col 2:14, of writing; Rev 3:5, of a name in a book; Rev 7:17; 21:4, of tears.
Rev 12:5 ASV - And she was delivered of a son, a man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne. this is where the people of God his bride his church will be in the safety of Psalms 91
Rev 12:6 ASV - And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days. If you read the whole chapter of Rev 12 we see the great tribulation happening and we also see where some of the seed of God will be killed for the testimony of Christ. Rev 12:11 ASV - And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death.
Rev 12:17 ASV - And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:
And those under he alter who were be headed for their testimony saying how long Lord Rev 6:9 ASV - And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of them that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
Rev 6:10 ASV - and they cried with a great voice, saying, How long, O Master, the holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
Rev 6:11 ASV - And there was given them to each one a white robe; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little time, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, who should be killed even as they were, should have fulfilled [their course]. So what am I trying to say is that the apostate church has lied to Gods people and we must take up and feed upon the word of God and hold fast to his commandments . Paul called it a mystery and the Lord is able and willing to revel this mystery to the hungry heart. Col 1:27 ASV - to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Isa 40:31 ASV - but they that wait for Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
God bless you all
Mat 25:2 ASV - And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
Mat 25:3 ASV - For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them:
Mat 25:4 ASV - but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

Mat 25:6 ASV - But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him.
Mat 25:7 ASV - Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. the word trimmed in the greek Verb Strong's Number: g2885 Greek: kosmeo
Adorn, Adorning:
primarily "to arrange, to put in order" (Eng., "cosmetic"), is used of furnishing a room, Mat 12:44; Luk 11:25, and of trimming lamps, Mat 25:7. Hence, "to adorn, to ornament, the foolish virgins like the people that are not waiting and watching for the Lord will see they have been living in the world and not for God and they will run to try and get their self's right with God they have been deceived
And then they will run to the door and shout open unto us Lord we have fed the poor and cast out demons done works in your name. Jesus said I know not from whose house you are from,I do not know you Eze 43:10 ASV - Thou, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern. We are Israel all Israel and their is a pattern a more perfect way It is to let Romans 6 live in us. What does it say, he is coming back for a bride with out spot or wrinkle. Unrepentant sin will separate people from God.
Mat 25:8 ASV - And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.
Mat 25:9 ASV - But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. Its to late at this point and when the rains came and it began to flood it says that Noah and his people could hear the screams from those that refused to hear the word of the Lord And God shut the door to the ark. Jhn 1:1 ASV - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Mat 25:11 ASV - Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Mat 25:12 ASV - But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Mat 25:13 ASV - Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.
Strongs Number: g1637 Greek: elaion
Oil:
"olive oil," is mentioned over 200 times in the Bible. Different kinds were known in Palestine. The "pure," RV (AV, "beaten"), mentioned in Exd 27:20; 29:40; Lev 24:2; Num 28:5 (now known as virgin oil), extracted by pressure, without heat, is called "golden" in Zec 4:12.
The pure oil it says is extracted by pressure this I believe is speaking of the trials of our faith
the daily working of lifes journey with Jesus, People have a hard time with trials and hardships
Rom 5:3 ASV - And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness;
Rom 8:35 ASV - Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Rom 12:12 ASV - rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing stedfastly in prayer;
Rom 5:3 ASV - And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness;
Rom 5:4 ASV - and stedfastness, approvedness; and approvedness, hope:
Rom 5:5 ASV - and hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given unto us. Here is the pressing of the oil the golden oil ,the word tribulation in the greek Noun Strong's Number: g2347 Greek: thlipsis
Afflict (-ed), Affliction:
primarily means "a pressing, pressure" (see A, No. 4), anything which burdens the spirit. In two passages in Paul's Epistles it is used of future retribution, in the way of "affliction," Rom 2:9; 2Th 1:6. In Mat 24:9, the AV renders it as a verb, "to be afflicted," (RV, "unto tribulation"). It is coupled with stenochoria, "anguish," in Rom 2:9; 8:35; with ananke, "distress," 1Th 3:7; with diogmos, "persecution," Mat 13:21; Mar 4:17; 2Th 1:4. It is used of the calamities of war, Mat 24:21, 29; Mar 13:19, 24; of want, 2Cr 8:13, lit., "distress for you;" Phl 4:14 (cp. Phl 1:16); Jam 1:27; of the distress of woman in child-birth, Jhn 16:21; of persecution, Act 11:19; 14:22; 20:23; 1Th 3:3, 7; Hbr 10:33; Rev 2:10; 7:14; of the "afflictions" of Christ, from which (His vicarious sufferings apart) his followers must not shrink, whether sufferings of body or mind, Col 1:24; of sufferings in general 1) a pressing, pressing together, pressure
2) metaph. oppression, affliction, tribulation, distress, straits
Mat 26:36 ASV - Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray. No greater love, he laid down his life no one took it,he said the evil one is coming for me but he has nothing in me. He was a lamb perfect no shadow in his turning he was full of light. And that life he laid down he took it up again
on the third day and now he is in the hearts of all that believe. His example was that he gave his body to the cross the flesh profits nothing, He said I am the way the truth and the life, we will all lay down our life one day, just like Jesus why did he says pick up your cross and follow me, his was a physical death to bring about a spiritual death in us death to the carnal man, and in the days to come if it is Gods will we to will be witness of him. The cross is a sign of suffering Gethsemane = "an oil press"
1) the name of a place at the foot of the Mount of Olives, beyond the torrent Kidron It was fitting for Christ to go to this garden Gethsemane this great stone weight that was use to extract the oil
from the olives,and the golden oil for the lamps. Act 14:22 ASV - confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God. The Number Ten ,It has been already pointed out that ten is one of the perfect numbers, and signifies the perfection of Divine order, commencing, as it does, an altogether new series of numbers. The first decade is the representative of the whole numeral system, and originates the system of calculation called "decimals," because the whole system of numeration consists of so many tens, of which the first is a type of the whole Completeness of order, marking the entire round of anything, is, therefore, the ever-present signification of the number ten. It implies that nothing is wanting; that the number and order are perfect; that the whole cycle is complete.
Strong's Number: g2985 Greek: lampas
Lamp:
denotes "a torch" (akin to lampo, "to shine"), frequently fed, like, a "lamp," with oil from a little vessel used for the purpose (the angeion of Mat 25:4); they held little oil and would frequently need replenishing. Rutherford (The New Phrynichus) points out that it became used as the equivalent of luchnos (No. 2), as in the parable of the Ten Virgins, Mat 25:1, 3, 4, 7, 8; Jhn 18:3, "torches;" Act 20:8, "lights;" Rev 4:5; 8:10 (RV, "torch," AV, "lamp"). See Note below. Cp. phanos, "a torch," Jhn 18:3 (translated "lanterns").
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak, we need to communion with the Lord daily if not hourly. It says the lamps were small in size so they needed to carry extra oil. So is our flesh like a small lamp we get side tracked with cares of living so we must make a daily effort to fill this body with oil the presents of the Lord it says they all slept, Jesus said pray and watch while I go a little ways to pray, but they all fell asleep.
Mat 25:2 ASV - And five of them were foolish, and five were wise. Virgins in the greek 1) a virgin
a) a marriageable maiden
b) a woman who has never had sexual intercourse with a man
c) one's marriageable daughter
2) a man who has abstained from all uncleanness and whoredom attendant on idolatry, and so has kept his chastity
a) one who has never had intercourse with women You cannot lok at this in the flesh but the spirit we are Gods bride we are his virgins and from the day of our salvation we than determine to live that chaste life in the holy ghost and the word of God is the seed that Jesus is sowing and in time it will bring about the MAN CHILD Jhn 16:21 ASV - A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world. This is Christ in you the hope of Glory Rev 12:5 ASV - And she was delivered of a son, a man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne.
Rev 12:13 ASV - And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman that brought forth the man [child]. Gal 2:20 ASV - I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that [life] which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, [the faith] which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. Eze 43:10 ASV - Thou, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern. There is a true house that God has given to us all and that house is Christ the PATTERN SON we must take of him, put on the lord Jesus Christ
Mat 10:38 ASV - And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
Mat 11:29 ASV - Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Jhn 10:18 ASV - No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment received I from my Father.
Jhn 16:14 ASV - He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall declare [it] unto you. This is the true oil of the true virgins of God Rom 7:4 KJV - Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, [even] to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. There is only one place in the bible where we find Beulah it is a place a land where God will take us in the end Isaiah 62;1-5
Hephz-bah in the Heb is My delight and Beulah is To marry,posses,to ruel over,to own and be Lord
The number Five in the greek Strong's Number: g4002 Greek: pente
Five, Five Times:
is derived by some from words suggesting the fingers of a hand, or a fist. The word is frequent in the Gospels. Pentakis, "five times," is found in 2Cr 11:24;
The number five in the numerics
Redemption follows creation. Inasmuch as in consequence of the fall of man creation came under the curse and was "made subject to vanity," therefore man and creation must be redeemed. Thus we have:
1. Father
2. Son
3. Spirit
4. Creation
5. Redemption
These are the five great mysteries, and five is therefore the number of GRACE.
So we can see that five of the virgins were not in the spirit, five fingers on the hand represents the works of the flesh being overwhelmed by the cares of the world therefore they were busy pleasing there other husband married to the world, keep in mind we are speaking of the bride of Christ the body of his believers. Rom 7:1 ASV - Or are ye ignorant, brethren (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law hath dominion over a man for so long time as he liveth?
Rom 7:2 ASV - For the woman that hath a husband is bound by law to the husband while he liveth; but if the husband die, she is discharged from the law of the husband.
Rom 7:3 ASV - So then if, while the husband liveth, she be joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if the husband die, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she be joined to another man. As long as we are married to the world we are bound to this world but if we should be set free from another husband by death we are free to marry another.
So now being married to Christ Jesus we do the works of the Kingdom of God pleasing him whom we love. 1Cr 15:47 ASV - The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven.
1Cr 15:48 ASV - As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
1Cr 15:49 ASV - And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. The law is of the flesh and we have been set free from the Law the curse of the Law
Gal 3:10 ASV - For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.
Gal 3:13 ASV - Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Rev 22:3 ASV - And there shall be no curse any more: and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be therein: and his servants shall serve him; So the Lord is saying come out from among them come out of the world and serve him, love not the world nor the things thereof. So we see here that the curse is still working in the earth for if Christ is not in you and he has redeemed you from the curse than it is working in the earth . Mat 8:16 ASV - And when even was come, they brought unto him many possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick:
Mar 1:34 ASV - And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.
Mar 6:13 ASV - And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.
Mar 6:56 ASV - And wheresoever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole. This the power of Christ over the curse and he healed them all that CAME!! to him the bible says.
1Cr 11:23 ASV - For I received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread;
1Cr 11:24 ASV - and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, This is my body, which is for you: this do in remembrance of me.
1Cr 11:25 ASV - In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye drink [it], in remembrance of me.
1Cr 11:26 ASV - For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord's death till he come.
1Cr 11:27 ASV - Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
1Cr 11:28 ASV - But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
1Cr 11:29 ASV - For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body.
1Cr 11:30 ASV - For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
1Cr 11:31 ASV - But if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged.
1Cr 11:32 ASV - But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world. What is Paul saying here if we are of the foolish virgins caught up in our fleshly ways not obeying the word not living holy and separate unto God,no fence riders here my friends. Its all or nothing Grace is the power the five wise virgins had to overcome in this world the Lord makes a way for us he gives us power to overcome, That is why the book speaks of the mark of the beast that is in the hand, the works of the flesh or the forehead the mind of the flesh . Rom 12 :1-2 Is so powerful we are to lay down our fleshly works at the cross and by this great and powerful word we RENEW OUR MINDS unto the word of righteousness . And if we look closely we see that this parable concerning the virgins was taking place in the night, a time when most people are sleeping. Are you sleeping or are you a watchman on the wall are you looking for his return even now ! He said he would come as a thief in the night when the world will least expect him he will come. It also said when the bridegroom came and took the five wise virgins he went in to the marriage feast and the door was SHUT !! Just as the door to the Ark with Noah and his family. We must inter into the Ark of safety God has provided, his word is our safety, And obedience to that word will save us look at Psalm 91 this word is for us today and if we believe it and trust in it you can see he will deliver us in that hour, the night in the parable also I believe represents the last days when the world begins to spin out of control, And man no longer has a solution to his problems and the devil is turned loose on the earth Rev 12:1 ASV - And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars; The glory of God in his sun in his church,the moon is a dead star no way to emit light except by the SON sun the word of God, The crown of stars twelve stars they represent the true gospel preached by the disciples. 1Cr 15:35 ASV - But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what manner of body do they come?
1Cr 15:36 ASV - Thou foolish one, that which thou thyself sowest is not quickened except it die:
1Cr 15:37 ASV - and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other kind;
1Cr 15:38 ASV - but God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
1Cr 15:39 ASV - All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one [flesh] of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes.
1Cr 15:40 ASV - There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial is another.
1Cr 15:41 ASV - There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory.
Rev 12:2 ASV - and she was the child; and she crieth out, travailing in birth, and in pain to be delivered. You will notice it says she the woman was THE CHILD not with child, this means that Christ the man child has been made manifest in his people, so at that moment we will be celestial bodies in a moment in the twinkling of an eye we shall all be changed.
Rev 12:3 ASV - And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems.
Rev 12:4 ASV - And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child. The third part of the stars is a third of man kind will be cast to the earth this is something to think on, could theses people be like the five foolish virgins that started off with a right heart and God shut the door , you decided and when you do , look up the word Blot out his name in Rev 3:5 Blot Greek: exaleipho
Blot Out:
from ek, "out," used intensively, and aleipho, "to wipe," signifies "to wash, or to smear completely." Hence, metaphorically, in the sense of removal, "to wipe away, wipe off, obliterate;" Act 3:19, of sins; Col 2:14, of writing; Rev 3:5, of a name in a book; Rev 7:17; 21:4, of tears.
Rev 12:5 ASV - And she was delivered of a son, a man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne. this is where the people of God his bride his church will be in the safety of Psalms 91
Rev 12:6 ASV - And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days. If you read the whole chapter of Rev 12 we see the great tribulation happening and we also see where some of the seed of God will be killed for the testimony of Christ. Rev 12:11 ASV - And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death.
Rev 12:17 ASV - And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:
And those under he alter who were be headed for their testimony saying how long Lord Rev 6:9 ASV - And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of them that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
Rev 6:10 ASV - and they cried with a great voice, saying, How long, O Master, the holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
Rev 6:11 ASV - And there was given them to each one a white robe; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little time, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, who should be killed even as they were, should have fulfilled [their course]. So what am I trying to say is that the apostate church has lied to Gods people and we must take up and feed upon the word of God and hold fast to his commandments . Paul called it a mystery and the Lord is able and willing to revel this mystery to the hungry heart. Col 1:27 ASV - to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Isa 40:31 ASV - but they that wait for Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
God bless you all
