Hab 2:1 ASV - I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will look forth to see what he will speak with me, and what I shall answer concerning my complaint. Habakkuk the prophet knew the answer before asking . Yet when man because of his lust of the world and the things in the world he suffers for his sin. Only God can bring a suffering of great porportions , with no remedy . All through time man has tried God and in the end they suffer the curse of sin .Gods people are blind to the fact that the curse God put on the children in the wilderness would follow them until the end of this world. The Law concerning sin has never been done away . Deuteronomy 28 is God promise to his people it entails blessings and curseings . God is forgiving and kind he has mercy and goodness for those that love and fear him. And his word has gone out into the earth ever present in the will of God to man kind. Pro 26:2 ASV - As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallow in her flying, So the curse that is causeless alighteth not. And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that Jehovah thy God will set thee on high above all the nations of the earth:
There is a remedy from the curse of the Law , Christ the Lamb of God
Rom 7:4 ASV - Wherefore, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye should be joined to another, even to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit unto God.
Rom 8:1 ASV - There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.
Rom 8:2 ASV - For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
Rom 8:3 ASV - For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Rom 8:4 ASV - that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Rom 7:5 ASV - For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were through the law, wrought in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
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.
Christ is the answer to this Law to these commandants he was the fulfilling of the Law.
Jesus approached John at the river Jordan and asked to be baptized by John . Mat 3:13 ASV - Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
Mat 3:14 ASV - But John would have hindered him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
Mat 3:15 ASV - But Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffereth him. Jesus was an example unto the world and he told John that his baptizem will be a sign for the fulling of all righteousness . Jesus spoke of the sign of Jonah
the sign of Jonah was repentance . To have a change of mind to turn from you wicked ways and follow Jesus. Make your path straight and level , get everything out of your way that will keep Christ from coming to you . I saw in the spirit this verse and before me was the gates of Gods kingdom . And between myself and the gates was obstacles of every shape and size . As I tried to pass through these obstacles I could not squeeze through any one of them . They were very close and very heavy could not be moved and I could not go over them . I could see the gates plainly but I could not pass. Sin in our life's separates us from God and the only power that can remove the sin that blocks us from entering into Gods kingdom . The blood of the Lamb , I am reminded of when Moses was instructed by God to prepare for the first Passover . The children were captive to the Egyptians and were crying out to God for relief. Moses was Gods prophet to lead the children out of Egypt and into the promise land . There is a destroyer coming again to the earth Gods wrath is coming , Matt 24 Jesus warns us of this . Exo 12:3 ASV - Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household:
Exo 12:5 ASV - Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old: ye shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:
Exo 12:13 ASV - And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
Exo 12:22 ASV - And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.
Exo 12:23 ASV - For Jehovah will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, Jehovah will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
Exo 12:26 ASV - And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?
Exo 12:27 ASV - that ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of Jehovah's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
Jesus is the Passover Lamb for this lost world , The hyssop was a aromatic plant used in that day and was used to heal certain conditions of the body a medicine an herb . God said to Moses to take the hyssop and dip it in the blood of the Lamb of sacrifice and apply it to your door lintel and side post.
the door here is the door Jesus spoke of in Rev 3:20 ASV - Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. The door is your heart your very soul , the blood of Jesus is applied to your heart and Jesus said he would come in to your life and make his abode in you. Hyssop was the great sacrifice Father God did this because he loved the world and he saw the only way to save man was with the sacrifice of his son once and for all . When Moses applied the blood with the hyssop there was a great aroma that came forth unto God he was pleased in his son and his death was a very pleasing aroma to his father . Rom 8:3 ASV - For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Rom 8:4 ASV - that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Eph 5:2 ASV - and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell.
I believe time on this earth is short and the word of God his true gospel is covering the earth with salvation , repent for the kingdom of God is at hand .
Jhn 10:1 ASV - Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
Jhn 10:2 ASV - But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
Jhn 10:3 ASV - To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. You know where it says the master gave invitations to the wedding feast of his son his son will be married to the bride the chosen people holy and righteous . The verse where Jesus says many are called but few are chosen , the word Called is an invitation to come to the marriage of his son to be a participant of the wedding excepting his invitation to enter in to his kingdom. And the word chosen is that when you except the invitation and enter in he choose you for eternity the word chosen is Elect . You will become the elect the bride the fullness of his salvation.
Rev 19:7 ASV - Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Rev 19:8 ASV - And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the Righteous Acts of the saints.
Saints Greek: hagios Holiness, Holy, Holily:
Jhn 10:4 ASV - When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
You my friend need the Holy Spirit just as in the days of Acts 2 you surrender to Jesus and declare him as Lord ask him to fill you with his spirit it is an absolute experience just as in the book of Acts 2 . The power to over come to be holy and righteous its not about the flesh it is Christ in you the hope of eternity.
Now we must see that Jesus was the sinless Lamb of God . For water baptizem is a sign of a truly repentent hearts , we are all born under the curse of Adam all has sinned and come short of the glory of God . Mary gave Jesus his flesh body to fulfill the scriptures , but Jesus was born of the seed of his father God . He was the perfect sacriface the sinless Lamb of God .
Rom 6 identifies the righteousness that is fulfilled by baptizem . Rom 6:4 ASV - We were buried therefore with him through baptism unto death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
Rom 6:5 ASV - For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection;
Rom 6:6 ASV - knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;
Rom 6 is a Law of grace unto us , it says he nail the old ordinances of the Law to his cross .
That is why Jesus speaks of the cross your cross to bear , picking up your cross and follow him . The only way to his kingdom is through your cross unto perfection . 1Co 15:50 ASV - Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
1Co 15:52 ASV - in 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.
Colo 2:14 having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he hath taken it out that way, nailing it to the cross;
Heb 6:6 ASV - and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Mat 5:17 ASV - Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 ASV - For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished.
The curse comes again through Ignorance of Gods word or wilful sin in our life's , The word says God chastens those whom he loves , chastening is that fire that comes with the baptism of the Holy Spirit . Luk 3:16 ASV - John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire: Fire: Greek: pur of the holiness of God, which consumes all that is inconsistent therewith, Hbr 10:27; 12:29; cp. Rev 1:14; 2:18; 10:1; 15:2; 19:12; similarly of the holy angels as His ministers, Hbr 1:7; in Rev 3:18 it is symbolic of that which tries the faith of saints, producing what will glorify the Lord .
Rev 12:10 ASV - And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night.
Remember Job and Peter Luk 22:31 ASV - Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat:
Luk 22:32 ASV - but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not; and do thou, when once thou hast turned again, establish thy brethren. Peter need the fire of Gods chastening and as we read he told Jesus he was ready to die with him . But when the time came he saw who he really was because only God can bring godly sorrow that will work true repentance .
2Co 7:10 ASV - For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, a repentance which bringeth no regret: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. Man cannot save himself through his our ability. Regret: Greek: ametameletos
"not repented of" (a, negative, and A), is translated "which bringeth no regret" in 2Cr 7:10, RV, said of repentance (AV, "not to be repented of"); elsewhere, in Rom 11:29.
Eph 6 says to put on all the Armor of God it is the only way we can stand in our trials and temptations and over come . Eph 6:16 ASV - withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. Fiery darts Burn, Burning:Greek: puroomai used metaphorically of the emotions, in 1Cr 7:9; 2Cr 11:29; elsewhere literally, of the heavens, 2Pe 3:12; of gold, Rev 3:18 (RV, "refined").
Eph 6:10 ASV - Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.
Eph 6:11 ASV - Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph 6:12 ASV - For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, Serpents and Scorpions This is spiritual warfare and Jesus gave us the keys to bind these spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places , Jesus gave his church the power to tread upon these serpents and scorpions against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Luk 10:19 ASV - Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. The garments of the saints Rev speaks of is these righteous Acts to believe and fulfill the scriptures in our lifes . I am thoroughly convinced that for Jesus to be manifested in us as the word says we must believe this word and act upon it. Eph 1:3 ASV - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ:
Eph 1:4 ASV - even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love:
Eph 6:13 ASV - Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.
Eph 6:14 ASV - Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
Eph 6:15 ASV - and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Eph 6:16 ASV - withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.
Eph 6:17 ASV - And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Eph 6:18 ASV - with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints, so that when we have done all we will stand . Rev 15:4 ASV - Who shall not fear, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy; for all the nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy righteous acts have been made manifest.
Rev 19:8 ASV - And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Jesus said to eat his flesh and to drink his blood , the word of God is his flesh we must feed upon Gods word and let it be our source of life , Jesus said man shall not live by bread alone ( feeding our flesh ) but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Lev 17:11 ASV - For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life. The whole reason for this sacrificial system created by God was a type and shadow of the saving blood of the Lamb Jesus Christ and to drink his blood is to get on our cross and stay their and suffer the spiritual purging of our old carnal man our flesh man so that the new man in us will live . Therefore by submitting to this glorious word we take on the very nature of Christ in us.
1Jo 2:5 ASV - but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him:
1Jo 2:6 ASV - he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.
Hab 2:3 ASV - For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hasteth toward the end, and shall not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay.
Hab 2:14 ASV - For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea.
Hab 2:20 ASV - But Jehovah is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
I believe Habakkuk 2 is speaking about the times of today and Gods disgust with the lawlessness of man kind of today , he is coming and his sword is in his mouth to redeem his children from oppression and evil.
Isa 49:2 ASV - and he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me: and he hath made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he kept me close:
Rev 1:16 ASV - And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
