💥*** (WagRenziOv) Numbers 9: When the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle they journeyed. When the cloud was over the tabernacle they did not move.




Numbers 9

15 And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.

16 So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.

17 And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.

18 At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.

(for us today:  cloud: as long as you don't know from God what to do, don't plan anything and don't do anything)

19 And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not.

20 And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the LORD they abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.

21 And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.

22 Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.

23 At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

New Testament church today:

Romans 8:14   For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

The Holy Spirit of God is given to each person who is born again by God.  The Holy Spirit leads us today in the church by bringing to our mind truths from God and scriptures.

Jesus explains what the Holy Spirit will do in the New Testament church after HE is crucified and raised from the dead and taken into heaven:

John 14:26  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 16:13  Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear (from God), that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.

I Corinthians 2

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love HIM.  (OT)

10 (NT) But God hath revealed them unto us by HIS Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

I find that most churches are not taught about the Holy Spirit.  God taught me these things about following the Holy Spirit and I have lived by the truths of the scriptures since I was born again in 1975.

I Corinthians 3:16-17  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

💥 *** (MussPicExh) God sets people and things in order.




As God set the sun, moon, stars in exact order in the solar system, God set the order for the children of Israel in the wilderness, and in the NT church as HE ordained HIS ministers.

Order of ministers in the New Testament Church:  apostles, prophets evangelists, pastors and teachers

Ephesians 4

8  Wherefore HE saith, When HE (Jesus) ascended up on high, HE led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

11-12  And HE (Jesus) gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

***

All men above the age of 20 who are able to go to war are numbered from the tribes of Israel.   (Numbers 1)

Now the tribes of Israel are set by God in exact places where they will rest within the camp and go forward when they journey according to the families of the 12 tribes of Israel with an the 1/2 tribes from Joseph for they were counted as 2 1/2 tribes.

(As in the solar system, there would be complete chaos except for fact that God placed these men in exact places so the 603,550 knew exactly where to camp when resting and in which order to go out when they journeyed or went to war.)

The tabernacle was in the center with the priests, Levites, and all the tribes of Israel surrounding the tabernacle of God on north, south, east and west sides.


💥💥💥


Numbers 2:3  And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be captain of the children of Judah.

💥   Judah: captain, Nahshon (74,600)
Issachar: captain, Nethaneel  (54,400)
Zebulun: captain, Eliab (57,400)
Judah: Totals:  (186,400)
(First to set forth) 

***

Numbers 2:10  On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben according to their armies: and the captain of the children of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur.

💥   Ruben:  captain Elizur (46,500)
Simeon: captain Shelumiel (59,300)
Gad : captain Eliasaph  (45,650)
Ruben: totals (151,450)
(Second to set forth)

***

Numbers 2:17  Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camp: as they encamp, so shall they set forward, every man in his place by their standards.

***

Numbers 2:18  On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their armies: and the captain of the sons of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud.

💥  Ephraim: captain, Elishama  (40,500)
Manasseh;  captain, Gamaliel (32,200)
Benjamin: captain, Abidan (35,400)
Ephraim: Totals (108,100)
(Third rank forward ) 

(Interestingly, God grouped together the tribes of the children of Jacob and Rachel:  Joseph (his sons, Ephraim & Manasseh) and Benjamin.)

***

Numbers 2:25  The standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the north side by their armies: and the captain of the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.

So the tabernacle was in the center, surrounded with tribes of the children of Israel on north, south, east, and west of the tabernacle.

💥*** (Chopin Ballade1) God said to Moses: Number all 20 and over who are able to go to war.




Numbers 1  

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

2 Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls;

3 From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies.

4 And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head of the house of his fathers.

💥💥💥

Numbers 1

19 As the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.

Moses was so obedient to God.

Throughout the Bible, over and over, we read:  As the Lord commanded, so did Moses.

💥💥💥

21 ... of the tribe of Reuben, were forty and six thousand and five hundred. (46,500)
23 ...  of Simeon, were fifty and nine thousand and three hundred. (59,300)
25 ...  of Gad, were forty and five thousand six hundred and fifty. (45,650)
27 ...  of Judah, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred. (74,600)
29 ...  of Issachar, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred.  (54,400)
31 ...  of Zebulun, were fifty and seven thousand and four hundred. (57,400)
33 ...  of Ephraim, were forty thousand and five hundred. (40,500)
35 ...  of Manasseh, were thirty and two thousand and two hundred. (32,200)
37 ...  of Benjamin, were thirty and five thousand and four hundred. (35,400)
39 ...  of Dan, were threescore and two thousand and seven hundred. (62,700)
41 ...  of Asher, were forty and one thousand and five hundred. (41,500)
43 ...  of Naphtali, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred. (53,400)


45 So were all those that were numbered of the children of Israel, by the house of their fathers, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war in Israel;

46 Even all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.  (603,550)

47 But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.

48 For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying, 49 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel:

50 But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.

51 And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

52 And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.

53 But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.

54 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

Numbers 3

22 Those that were numbered of them  (of the Gershonites), according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them were seven thousand and five hundred.  (7,500)

28 In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.  (8,600)  the families of the Kohathites.
 
34 And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand and two hundred. (6,200)  these are the families of Merari.

39 All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.   (22,000)

42-43 And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn (males) among the children of Israel.

43 And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen. (22,273)

💥💥💥

44 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

45 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am the LORD.

46 And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites;

47 Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them: (the shekel is twenty gerahs:)

48 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.

49 And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:

50 Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:

51 And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.

💥 *** (BeeSym6 ) Sacrifice for our sins: Old and New Testaments




When Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to this earth, HE sacrificed HIS life by dying on a cross, shedding HIS own blood, to pay for the sins of the church of the New Testament.

We today are not saved by our own works but by faith in that shed blood of Christ.

Hebrews 9:22  And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

Up to the time of Jesus, the children of Israel, by the instruction and will of God, paid for their sins by the shedding of blood of animals.

The Book of Leviticus gives the laws of God for the Old Testament:

Here is a sample:

Leviticus 1 

1 And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.

3 If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.

4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

5 And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

6 And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.

7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire:

8 And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:

9 But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

10 And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.

11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.

12 And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:

13 But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

14 And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.

15 And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:

16 And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:

17 And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

Leviticus 27:34  These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.

💥💥💥

If the Jews do not believe in Jesus as the Messiah today, then how do they pay for their sins?

So far as I know today's Jews do not sacrifice animals as God instructed prior to the sacrifice of Jesus.

💥💥💥

So if you are inclined to do so, read the Book of Leviticus.  I told God, the last time I read the entire book, I didn't want to do that again.

💥*** (TchVlnCon/1-2-3) By Old Testament examples we are "admonished" (warned) by God.




I Corinthians 10:11  Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

I find parallel examples also in many of the sections of New Testament scripture, giving the same instruction from God that I saw in the Old Testament.

💥💥💥

You can't run around with unbelievers:

Exodus 34

10 And HE said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.

11 Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

12 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:

13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:

14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:

15 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;

16 And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.

We see the same instruction in the New Testament:

2 Corinthians 6

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

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

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be MY people.

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean; and I will receive you,

18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be MY sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

💥*** (TchCapriccio Ita) Insight from God.




In July, 2023, I believe God brought some insight to me concerning the subjects of bringing other gods before Him.

The Holy Spirit is in us.  To speak of other "gods" and think on other "gods" or see movies of other "gods" would be to bring other "gods" before HIM.

I Corinthians 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

Judges 2:12  And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.

💥💥💥

A teacher of our Bible class at church always said to us:  Don't look into other religious to see what they do.  Study the Bible and when someone comes to you with wrong doctrine you will recognize that wrong doctrine.

Their gods have no power.  Our God created the heaven and earth and has all power. 
 
💥💥💥

One day, the Holy Spirit spoke the following word to me over and over, "in the air".

I knew that was in a scripture and I found it as follows:

I Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

That same day, a man came to my house speaking a false doctrine saying Jesus would set up HIS kingdom on this present earth.

I knew what he said was incorrect for the Holy Spirit had just shown me we would be taken as the church "into the air" .  

I also knew we would be taken to the New heaven and the New earth told us in Revelation 21.

Revelation 21

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5 And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.

💥💥💥

Also the apostle Peter tells us the following:

2 Peter 3

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.

The present earth as we know it will be destroyed by God by fire and will dissolve, not even existing.

💥💥💥

I Timothy 4:1  Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

Devils bring thoughts contrary to scripture to our minds to see if we will accept these doctrines as true.  (There is no truth in devils.  Jn. 8:44)

We must not take on ourselves doctrines of devils nor speaking doctrines of devils to other people.

Cling to scripture.  Believe that doctrine shown us by scripture.  Believe that which God has shown to you by dreams.

💥 *** (Schu Unfinished ) God is angry with the children of Israel. Moses intercedes.



 
Exodus 33

1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:

2 And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:

Angels do not have wings.  They look like natural men.  (Gen. 19 & Heb. 13:2)  Cherubs have wings and are carved wing to wing on the Ark of the Tabernacle which they carried before them in the wilderness. Angels have great power.  God sent 2 angels to get Lot out of Sodom before destroying Sodom.  (Gen. 19)

3 Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.

(God was angry with the children of Israel and there was a good chance God would destroy them if HE went up with them and saw what they were doing.  So to avoid this, God said HE would not go up with them.  Moses interceded and cause God to change HIS mind.)

4 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.

5 For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.

6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.

7 And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.

8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.

9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the LORD talked with Moses.

10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.

💥💥💥

Exodus 33

11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.

12 And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.

13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.

14 And HE said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.

15 And he (Moses) said unto HIM (to God), If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.

16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.

17 And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in MY sight, and I know thee by name.

💥💥💥

Jesus tells us that our name can be blotted out of the book of life.

Revelation 3:5  (Jesus says)  He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before MY Father, and before HIS angels.

We "overcome through God" as we pray and seek God's will for us in the problems of this life and then we do that which God tells us to do.  If we return and join the world and do the sins of this world, there is no more sacrifice for sins for we would have to crucify Jesus afresh and Jesus would have to be a constant sacrifice.

Here is what it says in the Bible about those who know the truth of God but return to their sins.

Hebrews 10

26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

💥💥💥

2 Peter 2

20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

💥💥💥

Hebrews 6

4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put HIM to an open shame.

💥💥💥

Hebrews 3

6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. 10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. 11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

💥 *** (BeeSym1) The people of the children of Israel worship a golden calf as their God.

 


Exodus 32:1  And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.

They didn't even recognize the God who created the heaven and the earth was the God who brought them out of Egypt.  They thought it was Moses who brought them out.  Though they had witnessed the great wonders which God performed upon the Egyptians and how God had led them through the Red Sea and had killed Pharaoh and his men who chased after them by causing the waters of the Red Sea to go back and cover their enemies and kill their enemies.  (Ex. 14)

Exodus 32:35  And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.

💥💥💥

What has God done in the lives of those who are born again by HIM by HIS Spirit?

I Corinthians 6

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

💥💥💥

We learn to pray and wait upon God to bring us HIS answer to problems and then we go by faith in what God has said to us as we do that which God says to us.

💥 *** (Viv4Seasons/1Spring) God gives to Moses rules and patterns for worship in the Old Covenant




Exodus 24:18  And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.

From Exodus 25-31 God gives Moses instruction for the building of the tabernacle and the way of priesthood in the Old Testament and the garments for Aaron and his sons who would be priests and the sacrifices of animals for sins. 

With the coming of Jesus the New Covenant began and the sacrifices for sins are no longer animals but the sacrifice is Jesus and HIS shed blood.

John 4, the woman of Samaria asked Jesus, "Where are we to worship?"  (What place?  Which mountain?)

Jesus answers:  

John 4

21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship HIM.

24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship HIM must worship HIM in spirit and in truth.

💥💥💥💥💥

Many church groups today try to hold on to some Old Testament rules and mix Old Covenant with New Covenant.

💥  Their ministers dress in robes and other garments to identify themselves as ministers.

The garment the NT minister dresses in is the Word of God, the Holy Scriptures.  We cover ourselves with Jesus, the Word.  And when we speak the church recognizes us because of the Word of God which we speak and the gifts of the Holy Spirit which God gives us.

Romans 12

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

I Corinthians 12

4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as HE (God) will.

As we exercise that spiritual gift given us by God, the church recognizes us as being of God.

On this Podcast, I will speak about some of the differences between the things God told them to do in the Old Covenant and things today in the New Covenant Church ... and how some of the people today misunderstand Old from New and mix covenants.

💥*** (BeeSym3/1-2-3-4) God writes HIS commandments for the children of Israel on tables of stone.




Exodus 24

12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to ME into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.

13 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God.

14 And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any matters to do, let him come unto them.

15 And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.

Exodus 31:18  And HE (God) gave unto Moses, when HE had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

Church goers today often long for those tables of stone written by God as if they can worship some type of idol seen by the natural eye.

But they deceive themselves for the Bible shows us the New Covenant is far better than the Old Covenant for the New Covenant is founded on better promises of God.

If you think the Old is better, try reading the Book of Leviticus.  (I really don't want to do that again!)

💥💥💥

The New Testament Church today:

In the new covenant, the blood of Jesus pays for our sins so we no longer have to sacrifice animals for sins.

A very big difference also in the New Testament Church is all who believe in Jesus, the Word, are given the Holy Spirit of Jesus to live in each of them and guide them and teach them.

John 14:26 (Jesus says:)  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 16:13  Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear (from God), that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.  

I Corinthians 2:12  Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

I Corinthians 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

💥💥💥

Concerning the new covenant, God says:

Hebrews 8

6 But now hath HE (Jesus) obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also HE is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

8 For finding fault with them, HE saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in MY covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put MY laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to ME a people:

11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know ME, from the least to the greatest.

12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

13 In that HE saith, A new covenant, HE hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

💥💥💥

God has given the New Testament Church the New Testament Bible and the laws and commandments of God are contained in that Bible.

The New Testament Church is built upon the New Testament scriptures.  And we have in us the Holy Spirit of Jesus to guide us.  We are given the Spirit of Jesus after we are born again by the Word of Jesus and God speaks to us by HIS Spirit to recreate us by HIS Word.

II Corinthians 5:17  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

When God speaks to us, we are changed instantly by HIS Word, though we continue to learn as Christians as we continue in this present life.

Romans 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

💥*** (Tch NutCS) Exodus 20




1 And God spake all these words, saying,

2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate ME;

6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love ME, and keep MY commandments.

7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh HIS name in vain.

8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

(The New Testament sabbath is not the same as the Old Testament Sabbath in requirements.  In the OT the people could not go out of their tents on the sabbath.  They could not cook their food on the sabbath.  NT sabbath is a continual rest, day by day, trusting in the Word of God and ceasing from their own works as God did from HIS.  Hebrews 3  For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear HIS voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.17 But with whom was HE grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom sware HE that they should not enter into HIS rest, but to them that believed not? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. Hebrews 4  Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. 6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: 7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. 8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.)

Acts 15  (New Testament Church)

1 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.

2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.

4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.

5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.

6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.

7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as HE did unto us;

9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

(The of the Jews weren't even able to keep the Law of Moses, says Peter.  The New Testament Church has the New Testament Scripture which show the NT laws of God for the NT Church.  We in the church today keep those commandments of God that are in the NT Bible.)

11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

Exodus 20

9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

13 Thou shalt not kill.

14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

15 Thou shalt not steal.

16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

(All commandments apply to the New Testament Church except for the rules pertaining to the sabbath and we have different rules for the sabbath.  We have a continual sabbath daily as we rest in God's Word and do HIS works told to us by the New Testament Bible and the Holy Spirit.)

💥💥💥

18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.

19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that HIS fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.

21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

22 And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.  (Today God speaks to us from heaven through the Holy Spirit who brings thoughts from God to our mind and dreams.) 

23 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.

24 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 all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee. (We do not sacrifice animals today as they did in Old Testament.  The blood of Jesus is our sacrifice in the New Testament church today.)

25 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

(Basically man pollutes all that he touches except for that which God tells him to do.)

26 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
