Praised Be El Shaddai, our Father,
In His Son Yeshua HaMashiach.
 

The Covenant Of
Water Baptism,
for the REMISSION of Sin.

Yeshua Shalom.

        In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, And saying, Repent ye: for The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye ìThe Wayî (Jhn.14:6; 10:1-11) of The Lord, make His paths Straight. And the same John had his raiment of camelís hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan, And were Baptized of him in Jordan, Confessing their Sins.

          But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his Baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath Warned you to Flee from the Wrath to come? Bring Forth therefore Fruits Meet for Repentance: And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that Adonay is Able of these Stones to Raise up Children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every Tree which bringeth Not Forth Good Fruit is hewn Down, and Cast into the Fire (Jhn.15:5,6).
 I indeed Baptize you with Water unto Repentance: but He that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall Baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with Fire: Whose fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly Purge His floor, and gather His Wheat into the garner; but He Will Burn up the Chaff with Unquenchable Fire (Matt.3:1-12).

         Then cometh Yeshua from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be Baptized of him. But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be Baptized of Thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it Becometh Us to Fulfil all Righteousness. Then he suffered him. And Yeshusa (yíshua: a contaction of YeHoWa, Shua: Saves; or YahShua: YaHWeh, shua: Saves), Joshua, Jewish leaders # 3091, see #1954, 3442), when He was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto Him, and He saw the Spirit of Adown (exclusively applied to YHWH, Proprietor, Master, Ruler, Father and Mighty. Appears 439 times in the O.T., the term was early used to substitute for YHWH (The Lord) which was used 7000 times in the O.T. #113) descending like a Dove, and lighting upon Him: And lo a Voice from heaven, saying, This is MY beloved Son, in whom I AM well pleased (Matt.3:13-17).

           Now when Yeshua was risen early the first day of the week (Sunday), He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven devils. And she went and told them that had been with Him, as they mourned and wept. And they, when they had heard that He was alive, and had been seen of her, Believed Not.
 After that He appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country. And they went and told it unto the Remnant: neither believed they them. Afterward He appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their Unbelief and Hardness of Heart, because they believed Not them who had seen Him after He was risen.

          And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach The Gospel to every creature. He that Believeth and is Baptized shall be Saved; but he that believeth Not shall be damned. And these signs shall Follow them that Believe; In My Name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, He was received up into heaven, and Sat on the Right Hand of El Shaddai. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming THE WORD with signs Following. Amen (Mrk.16:9-20).

         And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be Lifted Up: That whosoever Believeth in Him should Not Perish, but have Eternal Life. For Adonay so Loved the world, that HE Gave HIS only Begotten Son, that whosoever Believeth in Him should Not Perish, but have Everlasting Life. For Adonay sent Not his Son into the world to Condemn the world; but that the world Through Him might be Saved.
  He that Believeth on Him is Not condemned: but he that believeth Not is Condemned already, because he hath Not believed in The Name of the only begotten Son of Adonay. And this is the condemnation, that Light Is come into the world, and men Loved Darkness (2Cor.4:4-6) rather than light, because their Deeds were Evil. For every one that doeth Evil Hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be Reproved. But he that Doeth Truth cometh to the Light, that his Deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought IN El Shaddai.

         After these things came Yeshua and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and Baptized. And John also was Baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were Baptized. For John was not yet cast into prison.

         Then there arose a question between some of Johnís disciples and the Jews about Purifying. And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, He that was with thee beyond Jordan, to Whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to Him. John answered and said, A man can Receive Nothing, except it be Given him from Heaven (Jhn.3:14-27).

         The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Yeshua began both to Do and Teach, Until the day in which He was taken up, after that He through the Holy Ghost had given Commandments unto the Apostles whom He had chosen: To whom also He showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible Proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to The Kingdom of El Shaddai: And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for The Promise of the Father, which, saith He, ye have heard of Me. For John truly Baptized with Water; but ye shall be Baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

         When they therefore were come together, they asked of Him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again The Kingdom to Yisrael? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in His own power. But ye shall Receive Power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be Witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.  And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud Received Him out of their sight. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, Who is taken Up from you into Heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven (Acts 1:1-11).
 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, THE LORD said unto My Lord, Sit Thou on My Right Hand, Until I make Thy Foes Thy Footstool.

         Therefore let all the house of Yisrael know Assuredly, that El Shaddai hath made that same Yeshua, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Now when they heard this, they were Pricked in their Heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, What shall we do?

         Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be Baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for The Remission of Sins, and ye shall receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit. For The Promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words did he Testify and Exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this Untoward Generation (2Cor.6:14-18; Rev.18:4).
 Then they that gladly received his word were Baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about Three Thousand Souls. And they continued stedfastly in the Apostlesí Doctrine and Fellowship, and in Breaking of Bread, and in Prayers. And Fear (Reverence of God) came upon every Soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the Apostles.

             And all that Believed were Together, and had all things Common; And sold their possessions and goods, and Parted them to All men, as every man had Need. And they, continuing Daily with One Accord in the temple, and Breaking Bread from house to house, did eat their meat with Gladness and Singleness of Heart, Praising Adonay, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord Added to the church daily such as should be Saved (Acts 2:34-47).

         Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a Truth I perceive that God is No Respecter of persons: But in every nation he that Feareth Him, and worketh Righteousness, is accepted with Him. THE WORD which El Shaddai sent unto the children of Yisrael, preaching Peace by Yeshua The Christ: (He is Lord of all:) That word, I say, ye know, which was Published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the Baptism which John preached; How Adonay Anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with Power: who went about Doing Good, and Healing all that were Oppressed of the Devil; for Adonay was with him.

         And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: Him God Raised Up the Third Day, and Showed him openly; Not to all the people, but unto Witnesses Chosen before of Adonay, even to us, who did eat and drink with Him after he Rose from the Dead.

         And he Commanded us to Preach unto the people, and to Testify that He IS Ordained of Adonay to be the Judge of quick and dead. To him give all the Prophets Witness, that through His Name whosoever Believeth in Him shall Receive REMISSION of SINS. While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them who heard THE WORD.

         And they of the circumcision who Believed were Astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out The Gift of the Holy Ghost.  For they heard them speak with tongues, and Magnify Adonay. Then answered Peter,  Can any man forbid water, that these should not be Baptized, which have Received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he Commanded them to be Baptized in THE NAME of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days (Acts 10:34-48).

          And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, He said unto them, Have ye Received the Holy Ghost since ye Believed? And they said unto him, We have Not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye Baptized? And they said, Unto Johnís Baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the Baptism of Repentance, saying unto the people, that they should Believe on Him Who should come after him, that is, on Christ Yeshua. When they heard this, they were Baptized in the name of the Lord Yeshua. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied (Acts 19:1-6).

         And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me. And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why Persecutest thou Me? And I answered, Who art Thou, Lord? And He said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou Persecutest (Matt.25:34-41).

         And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of Him Who spake to me. And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do. And when I could Not See for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus. And one Ananias, a devout man according to The Law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there, Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, Receive thy Sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.

         And he said, The Adown of our fathers hath Chosen thee, that thou Shouldest Know His Will, and See that Just One, and shouldest hear The Voice of His mouth. For thou shalt be His Witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard. And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be Baptized, and Wash Away thy Sins, calling on The Name of the Lord (Acts 22:7-16).

         I therefore, the Servant of the Lord, beseech you that ye Walk Worthy of the Vocation wherewith ye are Called, With all Lowliness and Meekness, with Longsuffering, Forbearing one another in Love; Endeavouring to Keep the Unity of the Spirit in the Bond of Peace. There is One body, and One Spirit, even as ye are called in One Hope of your Calling; One Lord, One faith, One baptism, One Adown and Father of ALL, who is Above all, and through all, and In you all. But unto every one of us is Given Grace according to the Measure of the Gift of Christ (Eph.4:1-7; Re.: Rom.12:3).

         Beware lest any man Spoil you through Philosophy and Vain Deceit, after the tradition of men, after the Rudiments of the world, and Not After Christ. For IN Him dwelleth ALL the Fulness of the Godhead Bodily. And ye are Complete in Him (Col.4:12; Jms.1:4), which is the Head of All Principality and Power: In Whom also ye are Circumcised with the circumcision made Without Hands, in Putting Off the body of The Sins of the Flesh by the Circumcision of Christ: BURIED with Him in BAPTISM, wherein also ye are Risen with Him THROUGH the FAITH of the OPERATION of EL SHADDAI, Who hath RAISED Him from the Dead.

         And you, being Dead in your Sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he Quickened (Made Alive,#4806)  together with Him, having Forgiven you All Trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of Ordinances that was Against us, which was Contrary to us, and took it Out of the way, Nailing it to HIS CROSS; And having Spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it (Re.: Col.2:8-15).

         And you hath he Quickened, who were Dead in Trespasses and Sins; Wherein in time Past ye walked according to the Course of this World, according to the Prince of the Power of the Air, the Spirit that now Worketh in the Children of Disobedience: Among Whom also we All had our Life-style (conversation #391)  in times past in the LUSTS of our FLESH, FULFILLING the DESIRES of the FLESH and of the MIND; and were by nature the children of Wrath, even as others. But Adonay, Who is Rich in Mercy, for His great Love wherewith He Loved us, Even when we were Dead in Sins, hath quickened us Together with Christ, by Grace ye are Saved; and HAS Raised us Up Together, and ìHASî made us Sit Together in Heavenly Places IN Christ Yeshua.

         That in the ages to come He might Show the Exceeding Riches of HIS GRACE in HIS KINDNESS toward Us Through Christ Yeshua. For by GRACE are ye Saved through FAITH; and that Not of YOURSELVES (not that you could do anything to have Faith): but as the GIFT of God: Not of WORKS, lest any man should BOAST. For we are His workmanship, Created In Christ Jesus unto GOOD WORKS, which God hath before Ordained that we should WALK In them (Eph.2:1-10).

         What shall we say then? Shall we Continue in Sin, that Grace may Abound? God Forbid. How shall we, that are Dead to Sin, Live any longer Therein? Know ye Not, that so many of us as were Baptized into Jesus Christ were Baptized into His Death? Therefore we are Buried with Him by Baptism into Death: that Like as Christ was Raised up from the dead by The Glory of the Father, even so we also should Walk in Newness of Life. For if we have been planted together in the Likeness of His Death, we shall Be also in the Likeness of His Resurrection: Knowing this, that our Old Man is Crucified with Him, that the body of Sin might be Destroyed, that henceforth We SHOULD NOT SERVE SIN. For he that is Dead is FREED FROM SIN (Rom.6:1-7).

          Now I beseech you, brethren, by The Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be No Divisions among you; but that ye be Perfectly Joined together in the Same Mind and in the Same Judgment. For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are Contentions among you (1Cor.3:1-3).

         Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. IS CHRIST DIVIDED? was Paul Crucified for you? or were ye Baptized in the name of Paul? I thank Adonay that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; Lest any should say that I had Baptized in Mine Own Name (or into some religionís name, in more modern times).

         And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. For Christ sent me Not to Baptize, but to Preach The Gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest THE CROSS of Christ should be made of None Effect. For the Preaching of THE CROSS is to them that perish Foolishness; but unto us which are Saved it is THE POWER OF GOD (1Cor.1:10-18).

         Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Yeshua accursed: and that no man can say that JESUS IS THE LORD, but by the Holy Ghost.  Now there are Diversities of Gifts, but the SAME SPIRIT. And there are Differences of Administrations, but the SAME LORD. And there are Diversities of Operations, but it is the SAME ADOWN which worketh All In All.

         But the Manifestation of the Spirit is Given to every man to Profit Withal (for the Benefit of All). For to one is Given by THE SPIRIT the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the Same Spirit; To another faith by the SAME SPIRIT; to another the gifts of healing by the SAME SPIRIT; 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: But All these Worketh that ONE and the SELFSAME SPIRIT, dividing to every man severally (imparting various Gifts among us) as HE WILL. For as the body is ONE, and hath many members, and all the members of that ONE BODY, being many, are ONE BODY: so also is Christ.

         For by ONE SPIRIT are we ALL Baptized into ONE Body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into ONE SPIRIT. For the body is Not one member, but Many (1Cor.12:3-14).

         And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and Blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the Disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is MY BODY. And he took the Cup, and Gave Thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is MY BLOOD of the NEW TESTAMENT, which is SHED for MANY for the REMISSION of SINS. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in My Fatherís Kingdom. And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives (Matt.26:26-30).

         For I have Received Of the Lord that which also I Delivered unto You, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is My Body, which is Broken for you: this Do in Remembrance of Me. After the same manner also he took the Cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the New Testament in My Blood: this do ye, As Oft as ye drink it, in Remembrance of Me. For as often as ye Eat this Bread, and Drink this Cup, ye do Show the Lordís Death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall Eat this Bread, and drink this Cup of the Lord, Unworthily, shall be Guilty of the Body and Blood of the Lord. But let a man EXAMINE HIMSELF, and so let him Eat of that Bread, and Drink of that Cup. For he that eateth and drinketh Unworthily, eateth and drinketh Damnation to Himself, not Discerning the Lordís body. For this cause many are Weak and Sickly among you, and many Sleep.

          For if we would JUDGE OURSELVES, we should Not be JUDGED. But when we are Judged, we are CHASTENED of the Lord, that we should Not be CONDEMNED With the world (1Cor.11:23-32).

         Wherefore Gird Up the loins of your Mind, be Sober (Level Headed, #4993), and Hope to the end for The Grace that is to be Brought unto you at the Revelation of Jesus Christ; As Obedient children, Not fashioning yourselves According to the Former Lusts in your Ignorance: But as HE Who hath Called you IS HOLY, so Be ye HOLY in ALL manner of Life-style (conversation #391) ; Because it is written, Be ye HOLY; for I AM HOLY. And if ye call on the Father, Who without respect of persons Judgeth according to every manís Work, pass the time of your Sojourning (1Pet.2:11) here in Fear:

         Forasmuch as ye know that ye were Not Redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your Vain (shallow, empty, profitless (spiritually speaking), spec. idolatry #3152; from 3155: tentative manipulations, to no purpose, folly) Life-style (conversation #391) received by Tradition from your fathers (of men: Matt.15:8,9; Rom.12:2,3); But with the Precious Blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these Last Times for you, Who by Him do Believe in Adonay, Who Raised Him up from the Dead, and gave Him Glory; that your Faith and Hope Might (to be of Power #1410; 2Tim.3:5) be in Adonay. Seeing ye have Purified your Souls in Obeying The Truth through The Spirit unto unfeigned Love of the Brethren, see that ye Love one another with a Pure Heart fervently: Being BORN AGAIN, Not of corruptible seed, but of Incorruptible, by THE WORD of El Shaddai, WHO liveth and abideth for ever (1Pet.1:13-23).

         Simon Peter, a servant and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have Obtained like Precious Faith with us through the Righteousness of Adonay and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace and Peace be Multiplied unto you Through the Knowledge of El Shaddai, and of Yeshua our Lord, According as His Divine Power hath Given unto us All Things (there are no mysteries) that pertain unto Life and Godliness, through the Knowledge of Him that hath Called us to Glory and Virtue (1Pet.2:6-9): Whereby are given unto us Exceeding Great and Precious Promises: that by these ye might be Partakers of the Divine Nature, having Escaped the Corruption that is in the World through Lust.

         And beside this, giving all Diligence, Add to your Faith Virtue; and to Virtue Knowledge; And to Knowledge Temperance; and to Temperance Patience; and to Patience Godliness; And to Godliness brotherly Kindness; and to brotherly Kindness Charity.  For IF these things be IN you, and Abound, they make you that ye shall Neither be Barren nor Unfruitful in the Knowledge of our Lord Yeshua The Christ.  But he that Lacketh these Things is Blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath Forgotten that he Was PURGED from his OLD SINS. Wherefore the rather, brethren, Give DILIGENCE to MAKE your CALLING and ELECTION SURE (Rom.12:2; 2Tim.2:15; 3:16; Heb.4:11): for IF ye DO these things, ye shall Never FALL: For so an Entrance shall be MINISTERED unto you Abundantly into the EVERLASTING KINGDOM of our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST (2Pet.1:1-11).

         What is unfortunately not sufficiently stressed is that BAPTISM IS ENTERING into THE BLOOD COVENANT our Father in Heaven made with us Through the ATONING SACRIFICE of YESHUA The CHRIST. We need to Understand that we are, IN BAPTISM, making the Commitment to THE COVENANT, to Be the BRIDES of CHRIST, and therewith, DEAD unto the WORLD (sin: 1Jhn.5:19), and ALIVE to GOD (Righteousness: Rom.6:all, 11).

         In BAPTISM we are Entering INTO The DEATH of CHRIST, to be SET FREE FROM the DEATH of SIN (to be Separated from the Father: Rom.3:23):  ìFor the wages of SIN is DEATH; but the GIFT of God is ETERNAL LIFE through Yeshua Christ our LORDî (Rom.6:23), which we Cannot be SET FREE from, other than through the SACRIFICE of YESHUA.

         In Baptism we are therefore to Understand that we are DECIDING to PUT AWAY a LIFE of DEATH (Sin, Eph.2:1,5), To PUT ON The LIFE EVERLASTING of RIGHTEOUSNESS and TRUE HOLINESS (Eph.4:22-24): ìBeing Justified (Pronounced guiltless, to regard as just or Innocent, righteous #1344) FREELY by HIS GRACE through the REDEMPTION that IS IN Christ Yeshua: Whom Adonay hath set forth to be a PROPITIATION through FAITH in HIS BLOOD, to declare HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS for the REMISSION of Sins that ARE PAST, through the Forbearance of  Adonay (God our Proprietor, emphatic form of Adown, rserved to The Lord, as the Proper Name of YHWH. The term The Lord (our) God is used as a tanslation of YHWH Adonay # 136); To declare, I say, at this time HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS: that He might be JUST, and the JUSTIFIER of "Whomsoever" which Believeth in Jesus (Rom.3:24-26).

          What further needs to be stressed are the issue of ìthe Remission of Sins that are Pastî, and ìPurged from our Old Sinsî (2Pet.1:9). Water Baptism BURIES the Old Body, and the Old Sins with it. However even though the old body is now considered Dead (covered in the Blood of the Lamb) and Free from both the Cause (Rom.6:14; not withstanding the habit of: Rom.7:13) and Effect of Sin: ìFor he that is dead is freed from sinî (Rom.6:7; Gal.5:18); which is how we: ìOvercome the devil by THE BLOOD of the LAMB, and by THE WORD ëwhich Isí of their TESTIMONY ëof the Atonement of Christí (Rev.12:11);î The LORD DOES nevertheless EXPECT us to ìCLEAN Up Our ACT,î and we therefore canít expect to Overlook Rom.6:1-7, and hope to ìMAKE Any POINTSî in Heaven, WHOSE Approval we NEED to ìMAKE The GRADEî (Matt.15:8,9; 7:21-27; Jhn.5:40-44).
 For the Love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if ONE Died For ALL, then were ALL dead: And that he died for ALL, they who live should Not Henceforth Live unto Themselves (1Pet.4:1,2), but unto HIM Who Died for Them, and Rose Again. Wherefore henceforth Know we No Man After the Flesh (We no longer look at the outward creature, we See The Christ within): yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

Therefore IF any man BE IN Christ,
he is a NEW CREATURE: (All) OLD things are PASSED AWAY;
behold,ALL THINGS are BECOME NEW.

         And all things are of Adonay, who Has Reconciled us (up) to Himself by Christ Yeshua (Not Himself down to us), and Has given to us the ministry of Reconciliation; To wit, that El Shaddai was in Christ, Reconciling the world unto Himself, Not Imputing their Trespasses unto them (no guilt trips: Rom.4:15; 5:13); and hath Committed unto us The Word of Reconciliation.

         Now then we are Ambassadors for Christ, as though Adonay did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christís stead, BE ye RECONCILED to El Shaddai. For He hath made Him to be Sin For us, who Knew No sin; that we Might (to be of Power #1410) be MADE (to become, not just thought of: Rom.3:31; 8:3,4) the RIGHTEOUSNESS of El Shaddai IN Him (2Cor.5:14-21).

         IF ye then be Risen with Christ, Seek those things which are Above, where Christ sitteth on The Right Hand of God. Set your Affection on things Above, Not on things on the Earth. For YE are Dead, and your LIFE IS HID with Christ IN God. When Christ, who IS our LIFE, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in Glory. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; Fornication, Uncleanness, Inordinate Affection, Evil Concupiscence, and Covetousness, which is Idolatry: For which thingsí sake the Wrath of God cometh on the children of Disobedience: In the which ye also walked some time, when ye Lived In them.  But now ye also Put Off all these; Anger, Wrath, Malice, Blasphemy, Filthy Communication out of your Mouth. Lie Not one to another, seeing that ye have PUT OFF the OLD MAN with his Deeds; And have PUT ON the NEW MAN (Eph.4:22-24), which is Renewed (Rom.12:2) in Knowledge ìINî the Image of Him that Created him (Col.3:1-10).
 Wherefore Yeshua also, that He might Sanctify the people with His Own Blood, Suffered ìOutsideî the gate.  Let us go forth therefore unto Him ìOutsideî the Camp, bearing His Reproach.  For here have we No Continuing City, but we Seek one to Come.

          "And" having seen "The Promises" afar off, and were Persuaded of them, and Embraced them,  and confessed that they were Strangers and Pilgrims on the Earth. For they that say such things  Declare  Plainly that they Seek a Country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from  whence theycame out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a Better  Country, that is, an Heavenly: wherefore God is Not Ashamed to be called their Adown(2Cor.6:14-18;  1Pet.2:2-9) for He hath Prepared for them a City (Heb.11:13b-16).

            By Him therefore let us offer the Sacrifice of Praise to Adonay Continually, that is, the Fruit of our Lips Giving Thanks to His Name. But to Do Good and to Communicate forget Not: for with such Sacrifices Adonay is Well Pleased (Heb.13:12-16). Dearly beloved, I beseech you as Strangers and Pilgrims, Abstain from Fleshly Lusts (all fleshly desires #1939), which War Against the Soul; Having your Life-style (conversation #391) Honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak Against you as Evildoers, they may by your Good Works, which they shall behold, Glorify El Shaddai in the Day of Visitation (1Pet.2:11-12).

         And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his Glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is Fallen, is Fallen, and is become the habitation of Devils, and the hold of every Foul Spirit, and a cage of every Unclean and Hateful Bird. For all nations have Drunk of the Wine of the Wrath of her Fornication, and the kings of the earth have Committed fornication (Jms.4:4) with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed Rich through the abundance of her Delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, COME OUT of her, MY PEOPLE, that ye be NOT PARTAKERS of her SINS, and that ye RECEIVE NOT of her PLAGUES (Rev.18:1-4).
 Entering Into ìThe Bond of The Covenantî (Ezk.20:37), means Getting Out of the World!

        O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the Adown of Israel, have I Declared unto You (Is.21:8-10). I Charge you by the Lord "Yeshua" that this Epistle be Read unto ALL the HOLY BRETHREN. The GRACE of our Lord Yeshua The Christ be With you. Amen (1Ths.5:27,28).
