"Embassy of the Kingdom of Adonay"
Volume 2, Number 70
Dec. 1999
Praised Be El Shaddai,
our Father,
In His Son Yeshua
HaMashiach.
Grace
is Not License,
Sin
is Still a Dis-Ease.
Yeshua Shalom.
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the LAMB of ADONAY (God our Proprietor, emphatic form of Adown, reserved to The Lord, as the Proper Name of YHWH # 136), Who Taketh Away the Sin of the world. This is he of Whom I said, After me cometh a man Who is preferred before me: for HE was before me (Jhn.1:29,30).
It would seem that parts of the world is assuming that Sin No Longer Exists on the basis of The "Christ in us, the hope of Glory" (Col.1:27) setting us Free (Jhn.8:31-36) from the Power of Sin (weakness; Matt.26:41; Mrk.14:38). Beloved, now are we the sons and (daughters) of Adonay, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when HE shall appear, we shall be Like Him; for we shall see Him as HE Is. And every man that hath this Hope in him Purifieth (Jhn.15:3; Eph.5:25-27) himself, even as HE Is Pure.
Whosoever committeth Sin Transgresseth also The Law: for Sin Is the Transgression of The Law. And ye know that HE was manifested to Taketh Away our Sins; and In HIM is No Sin. Whosoever abideth In HIM Sinneth Not: whosoever Sinneth hath Not seen HIM, neither Known HIM.
Little children, let no man Deceive you: he that doeth Righteousness is Righteous, even as HE Is Righteous. He that Committeth Sin is of the devil; for the Devil Sinneth from the Beginning. For this purpose The Son of ADOWN was manifested, that HE might Destroy (UNDO) the Works of the devil. Whosoever is Born of Adonay doth Not commit Sin (Rom.14:23); for his Seed (1Pet.1:23) remaineth In him: and he Cannot Sin, because he is Born of Adonay (1Jhn.5:1). In this the children of Adonay are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth Not Righteousness is Not of El Shaddai (God #410, Almighty #7706), neither he that LovesNot his brother. For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should Love One Another (1Jhn.3:2-11,15).
Love Not the world, neither the Things that are in the world. If any man Love the world, the Love of the Father is Not in him. For all that is in the world, the Lust of the Flesh, and the Lust of the Eyes, and the Pride of Life, is Not of the Father, but is of the world (1Jhn.2:15,16).
Beloved, believe Not every spirit, but Try the Spirits whether they Are Of Adonay: because many False Prophets (2Pet.2:1-3) are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of Adown: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the Flesh Is Of Adonay: And every spirit that Confesseth Not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is Not Of El Shaddai: and "that" is that spirit of ANTICHRIST, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Ye Are Of Adonay, little children, and have Overcome (1Jhn.5:1-5) them: because
Greater
is HE WHO IS IN you,
than
he that is In the world.
They
are Of the world:
therefore
Speak they Of the World,
and
the World Heareth them.
We are of Adonay: he that Knoweth Adonay Heareth us; he that is Not of Adonay heareth Not us. Hereby know we the Spirit of Truth, and the spirit of Error (1Tim.4:1-3; 2Tim.3:1-7; 4:3,4).
Beloved, let us Love one another: for Love Is Of Adown; and every one that Loves Is Born of El Shaddai, and Knoweth Adonay.
He
that Loveth Not Knoweth Not Adonay;
for
Adonay IS LOVE
(1John 4:1-8).
What shall we say then? Shall we Continue in Sin, that Grace may Abound? Adonay 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 Yeshua The 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.
(1Pet.4:2)
Let Not Sin therefore Reign in your mortal body, that ye should Obey It in the Lusts thereof. Neither Yield ye your members as Instruments of Unrighteousness unto Sin: but yield Yourselves unto El Shaddai, as those that are Alive from the DEAD (Eph.2:1), and your members as Instruments of Righteousness unto Adonay.
For
Sin shall NOT have DOMINION over You :
(sin is made
of none effect)
for
ye are NOT under The Law, but under GRACE.
What then? Shall we Sin, because we are Not under The Law, but under Grace? God Forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye Yield yourselves Servants to Obey, his Servants ye Are to whom ye Obey; whether of Sin unto DEATH, or of Obedience unto Righteousness?
But Adonay be Thanked, that ye were the Servants of Sin, but ye have OBEYED from the HEART that form of DOCTRINE (Matt.15:8,9) which was delivered you. Being then made FREE From Sin, ye became the Servants of Righteousness. I speak after the Manner of men (1Cor.3:1-3) because of the Infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members Servants to Uncleanness and to Iniquity unto Iniquity; even so now Yield your members
Servants to Righteousness unto Holiness.
For when ye were the Servants of Sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now Ashamed? For the End of those things is DEATH. But now being made FREE From Sin, and become Servants to Adonay, ye have your Fruit unto Holiness, and the End Everlasting Life.
For
the Wages of Sin is (still)
DEATH;
but
the GIFT of Adonay is Eternal Life
through
Christ Yeshua our Lord
(Rom. 6:1-23).
What then? Are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are All Under Sin; As it is written,
There
is None Righteous, no,
Not
One:
There
is None that Understandeth,
there
is None that Seeketh after Adonay.
They are all gone Out of "The
Way" (Jhn.14:6), they are together become Unprofitable;
(Not lacking in Materialism) there is
None
that Doeth (His Definition of) Good,
no, Not One.
Their throat is
an open Sepulchre; with their tongues they have used Deceit;
the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of Cursing
and Bitterness: Their feet are Swift to shed Blood: Destruction
and Misery are in their Ways:
And
The Way of Peace have they Not Known:
There
is No REVERENCE (Fear) of THE LORD
Before their Eyes
(Rom. 3:9-18).
Therefore by the Deeds of the Law there shall No flesh be Justified in HIS sight: for by The Law is the Knowledge of Sin. But now the Righteousness of Adonay Without The Law is manifested, being Witnessed by The Law and the Prophets; Even the Righteousness of El Shaddai which is By Faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is No Difference:
For
ALL have sinned, and "Fallen" Short of
The
Glory of Adonay;
Being Justified (Pronounced Guiltless, Not rationalized) FREELY (Rom.4:8) by HIS Grace through the Redemption that is in Christ Yeshua: Whom God hath set forth to be a Propitiation through Faith in His Blood, to declare HIS Righteousness for the Remission of Sin That Are Past, through the forbearance of El Shaddai; To declare, I say, at this time HIS Righteousness: that HE might be Just, and the Justifier of him who Believeth (Jhn.1:12) in Yashua (Rom.3:20-26).
"For" Adonay commendeth
HIS
Love toward us, in that, while we were Yet Sinners,
Christ Died for us. Much more then, being now Justified by His
Blood, we shall be Saved from Wrath
(the Vials, Rev. ch. 16; not necessarily the Tribulations, Trumpets) through
HIM.
For if, when we were Enemies
(Eph.2:2,3), we were Reconciled
(2Cor.5:18-20) to El Shaddai by the DEATH
of HIS Son, much more,
being Reconciled, we
shall be Saved by HIS LIFE.
And not only so, but we also Joy in Adonay through our Lord Jesus Christ,
by Whom we have Now Received the Atonement.
Wherefore, as by
one man Sin entered into
the world, and Death by sin; and so death passed upon All Men, for that
All have Sinned: For
until the law Sin was
In the world: but Sin
is Not Imputed (2Cor.5:18-20)
when there is No Law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even
over them that had Not Sinned
after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of HIM
that was to come. But not as the offence, so also is the FREE
GIFT. For if through the Offence of one many be dead, much
more the Grace of Adonay,
and the Gift by Grace
(Eph.2:7,8), which is by One man, Jesus
Christ, hath Abounded unto Many.
And not as it was
by one that sinned, so is THE
GIFT: for the Judgment was by One to Condemnation, but the
FREE
GIFT is of Many Offences unto Justification. For if by one
man's Offence death Reigned by one; much more they which receive Abundance
of Grace and of THE GIFT
of Righteousness shall Reign in Life by One, Yeshua The Christ. Therefore
as by the Offence of one Judgment came upon All men to Condemnation;
even so by the Righteousness of One the FREE
GIFT came upon All men unto Justification
of Life. For as by one man's Disobedience
many were made Sinners,
so by the Obedience of
One shall Many be made Righteous.
Moreover The Law
entered (Gal.3:13 -> 4:5), that the Offence
might Abound. But where Sin
Abounded, Grace did much
More Abound: That as Sin
hath Reigned unto Death, even so might Grace
Reign through Righteousness unto Eternal Life by Yeshua The Christ our
Lord (Rom. 5:8-21).
Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become Dead to The Law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to HIM Who is Raised from the Dead, that we should Bring forth Fruit unto Adonay. For when we were in the flesh, the motions of Sins, which were by The Law, did work in our members to bring forth Fruit unto Death. But now we are Delivered from the law, that being Dead wherein we were held;
that we should Serve in Newness of Spirit,
and Not in the Oldness of the Letter. What shall we say then? Is the law Sin? Adonay Forbid. Nay, I had Not known Sin, but by the law: for I had not known Lust, except the law had said,
Thou shalt not Covet.
But sin, Taking Occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of Concupiscence. For without The Law Sin was Dead. For I was alive without the law once: but when the Commandment Came, Sin Revived, and I died. And the commandment, which was Ordained to Life, I found to be unto death. For Sin, Taking Occasion by The Commandment, Deceived me, and by it Slew me.
Wherefore
The Law is Holy,
and
The Commandment Holy, and Just, and Good.
Was then that which is Good made Death unto me? Adonay Forbid. But Sin, that it might appear Sin, working Death in me by that which is Good; that Sin by The Commandment might become Exceeding Sinful. For we know that
The
Law is Spiritual:
but
I am Carnal, Sold under Sin.
For that which I Do I allow Not: for what I Would, that Do I Not; but what I Hate, that Do I. If then I Do that which I Would Not, I consent unto The Law that it is Good. Now then it is no more I that Do It, but Sin that Dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth No Good thing: for to Will is Present with me; but how to Perform that which is Good I find Not. For the Good that I Would I Do Not: but the Evil which I Would Not, that I Do. Now if I Do that I Would Not, it is no more I that Do it, but Sin that dwelleth In me.
I find then a law, that, when I would Do Good, Evil is Present with me. For I delight in The Law of Adonay after the Inward man: But I see another law in my members, Warring Against (Gal.5:17) The Law of my Heart (mind), and bringing me into Captivity to the law of Sin which is in my members.
O
wretched man that I am!
Who
shall deliver me from the body of this death?
I thank Adonay through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the Heart (mind) I myself serve The Law of God; but with the flesh the law of Sin (Rom. 7:4-25).
Notwithstanding social Looseness, and the Abundant Grace of Christ, the Major (I speak as a man) Commandment of Faith is still:
"your Sins
are Forgiven you; Sin No More"
(Jhn.5:14; 8:11).
Owe no man any thing, but to LOVE One Another: for he that LOVES Another hath Fulfilled The Law. For this, Thou shalt Not commit Adultery, Thou shalt Not Kill, Thou shalt Not Steal, Thou shalt Not bear False Witness, Thou shalt Not Covet; and if there be any other Commandments (according to The Law of LOVE), it is briefly Comprehended in this saying, namely,
Thou shalt LOVE thy Neighbour as thyself.
LOVE worketh No Ill to his Neighbour: therefore LOVE is the Manifesting (Living, shown, fulfilled, #4137) of The Law (Rom.13:8-10).
There is therefore
now No Condemnation to
them who are IN
Christ Jesus, who walk Not after the
flesh, but after The
Spirit. For The Law of The
Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus hath made me FREE
from The Law of Sin and
Death.
For what The
Law could Not do, in that it was Weak through the
flesh (because the flesh is weak; Matt.26:41; Mrk.14:38),
El Shaddai sending HIS own Son in the likeness of Sinful
flesh, and "on account of" Sin,
Condemned Sin in the
flesh: That the Righteousness of The
Law (the Righteous Requirements of The Law; NASB) Might (to
be of Power #1410) be Made Manifest
(Alive, shown, fulfilled, #4137) in us, who walk Not
after the flesh, but after The
Spirit.
For they that are
after
the flesh do mind
the things of the flesh;
but they that are After The Spirit
the Things of The Spirit
(Col.3:1-6). For to be Carnally Minded
is DEATH; but to be Spiritually
Minded is LIFE and PEACE. Because the Carnal
Mind is ENMITY Against El Shaddai: for it is Not
Subject to The Law
of Adonay, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the
flesh Cannot Please Adonay.
But ye are Not
in the flesh, but In The Spirit,
if so be that The Spirit
of Adonay dwell in you. Now if any man have Not The
Spirit of Christ, he is None of HIS.
And if Christ be in you, the Body is Dead because of Sin;
but The Spirit is Life
because of Righteousness. But if The
Spirit of HIM that Raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in
you, HE Who Raised up Christ
from the Dead shall also Quicken your Mortal Bodies by HIS
Spirit that dwelleth In you. Therefore, brethren, we are
debtors, Not to the Flesh,
to live After the flesh.
For if ye live After the flesh,
ye shall DIE:
but if ye through The Spirit
do Mortify the Deeds of the Body, ye shall Live.
For as many as are Led by The
Spirit of Adonay, they are the Sons (and Daughters) of Adonay
(Rom.8:1-14). For HE hath made HIM
to be Sin for Us, Who
Knew No Sin;
that we might (to be of Power #1410) be made (a becoming process) the Righteousness
of Adonay in HIM (2Cor.5:21).
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 (not those who don't know better, it seems
the term Rebellion would apply here): 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 (conditional
state), hath Quickened us Together with Christ, by Grace ye are Saved;
And Hath Raised (accomplished
fact) us up together, and Made
(done deal) us Sit Together
in Heavenly Places in Christ Yeshua
(our Positional Salvation): 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 this Not of Yourselves: "but" the GIFT
of Adonay: Not of Works,
lest any man should Boast (Eph. 2:1-9).
Therefore: "Enter
ye in at the Strait Gate:
for Wide is the Gate,
and Broad is the way
(anything goes, with everybody goes), that leadeth to DESTRUCTION,
and Many there be which go in thereat: Because Strait
is the Gate, and Narrow is "The
Way" (Jhn.14:6), which Leadeth unto Life,
and Few there be that Find it.
Beware of False
prophets, which come to you in Sheep's
Clothing, but Inwardly they are Ravening (insatiable, never
satisfied) Wolves (love
to feed themselves). Ye shall know them by their Fruits. Do men Gather
Grapes of Thorns, or Figs of Thistles? Even so every Good
Tree bringeth forth Good
Fruits; but a Corrupt
Tree bringeth forth Evil Fruit.
A Good
Tree cannot bring forth Evil
Fruit, neither can a Corrupt
tree bring forth Good Fruits.
Every tree that bringeth Not forth
Good Fruit is hewn Down, and Cast into the Fire. Wherefore
by their Fruits ye shall
Know them" (Matt. 7:13-20).
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 Lord's
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 Lord's 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).
And Make Straight Paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be Turned Out of "The Way;" but let "them" rather be Healed. Follow Peace with All men, and Holiness, without which No Man shall See the Lord: Looking Diligently lest any man Fail of the Grace of Adonay; lest any root of Bitterness springing up Trouble you, and thereby many be Defiled; Lest there be any Fornicator, or Profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat Sold his birthright. For ye know how that Afterward, when he would have Inherited the Blessing, he was Rejected: for he found No Place of Repentance (what The Church is Supposed to be, the Place to live a Changed Life), though he sought it Carefully with Tears (Hebr. 12:13-17).
Ye are not Straitened in us, but ye are Straitened in your own "Hearts". Now for a recompence in the same, I speak as unto my children, be ye also enlarged. Be ye Not Unequally Yoked together with Unbelievers (without Faith; unfaithfulness, by impl. disobedient #571,570): for what Fellowship hath Righteousness with unrighteousness? And what Communion hath Light with darkness? (2Cor.4:2-6). And what Concord hath Christ with belial? Or what part hath he that Believeth with an infidel? And what Agreement hath The Temple of God with idols? For ye are The Temple of the Living Adown; as El Shaddai hath said, I will Dwell In them, and Walk In them; and I will Be their Adonay, and they shall be MY people.
Wherefore
Come Out from among them,
and
Be Ye Separate, saith the Lord,
and
touch Not the unclean thing (conditional Clause);
and
I will Receive you,
And
will Be a Father unto you,
and
ye shall Be my Sons and Daughters,
saith
the Lord Almighty
(2Cor.6:14-18).
What say I then? That the idol
is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols
is any thing? But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice,
they sacrifice to devils,
and Not to Adonay: and I would Not that ye should have Fellowship with
devils.
Ye Cannot Drink The Cup
of The Lord, and
the
cup of devils: ye Cannot be Partakers of The
Lord's Table, and of the
table of devils. Do we Provoke
The Lord to Jealousy?
Are we Stronger than He? (1Cor. 10:19-22).
Knowing that a man
is Not Justified by the
Works of The Law, but byThe
Faith of Jesus Christ, even we have Believed in Jesus Christ,
that we might be Justified
by The Faith of Christ, and Not by the Works of The Law: for by the Works
of The Law shall No Flesh be Justified.
But If, while we Seek to be Justified
By Christ, we ourselves also are Found Sinners,
is therefore Christ the Minister of Sin?
God FORBID.
For if I build
again the things which I Destroyed, I make myself a Transgressor.
For I through the law am Dead
to the law, that I might (to be of Power #1410) Live
unto Adonay. I am Crucified with Christ:
nevertheless I Live; yet not I, but Christ Liveth In me: and the Life which
I now Live in the flesh I live ByThe
Faith of the Son of Adonay, who Loved me, and Gave Himself
for me (Gal. 2:16-20). But the Scripture hath Concluded (to embrace in
a common subjection #4788) All under
Sin, that the Promiseby
Faith of Jesus Christ might be Given to them that Believe
(Jhn.1:12; to entrust (esp. One's Spiritual Well-being), from 4102:
to have firm conviction in the Truth of Adown, assurance #4100; Gal.3:22).
I beseech you therefore, Brethren, by the Mercies of Adonay, that ye present your bodies a Living Sacrifice, Holy, Acceptable unto Adonay, which is your Reasonable Service. And BE NOT CONFORMED to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWINGof your Mind, that ye may Prove (Demonstrate) what is that Good, and Acceptable, and Perfect, Will of El Shaddai. For I say, through the Grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, Not to Think of himself More Highly than he Ought to Think; but to think Soberly (Level Headed, #4993), according as Adonay hath dealt to every man the Measure of Faith (Rom. 12:1-3). That ye Put Off concerning the former Life-style (conversation #391) the Old Man, which is Corrupt according to the Deceitful Lusts; And be Renewed in the Spirit of your Mind; And that ye put on the New Man, who "In The Image of" Adonay is Created in Righteousness and True Holiness. Wherefore putting away Lying, speak every man Truth with his Neighbour: for we are Members One of Another. Be ye Angry(AT SIN), and Sin NOT: let not the sun go down upon your Wrath: Neither Give Place to the Devil. Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him Labour, working with his hands the thing which is Good, that he may have to Give to him that Needeth.
Let No Corrupt (Fleshly, worldly) Communication proceed Out of your Mouth, but that which is Good to the use of Edifying, that it may Minister Grace unto the Hearers. And Grieve Not the Holy Spirit of Adonay, whereby ye are Sealed unto the Day of Redemption. Let all Bitterness, and Wrath, and Anger, and Clamour, and Evil Speaking, be Put Away from you, with all Malice: And be ye Kind one to another, Tenderhearted, Forgiving one another, even as Adonay for Christ's Sake hath Forgiven you. (Eph. 4:22-32).
Furthermore then we Beseech you, Brethren, and Exhort you by the Lord Yeshua, that as ye have received of us how ye Ought to Walk (Eph.5:1) and to Please Adonay, so ye would Abound more and more. For ye know what Commandments we Gave you By the Lord Jesus. For This Is The Will of El Shaddai, even your Sanctification, that ye should Abstain from Fornication: That every one of you should know how to Possess his Vessel in Sanctification and Honour; Not in the Lust of Concupiscence, even as the Gentiles who Know Not Adonay: That no man go beyond and Defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the Avenger of all such, as we also have Forewarned you and Testified. For Adonay hath Not called us unto Uncleanness, but unto Holiness (1Thes.4:1-7).
Be Not Deceived: Evil Communications (Life-styles # 391) Corrupt Good Manners. Awake to RIGHTEOUSNESS, and SIN NOT; for some have Not the Knowledge of Adonay: I speak this to Your Shame (1Cor. 15:33,34).
Therefore seeing we have this Ministry, as we have Received Mercy, we Faint Not; But have Renounced the Hidden things of Dishonesty, not Walking in Craftiness, nor handling the Word of AdonayDeceitfully (Jer.48:10) but by manifestation of The Truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in The Sight of El Shaddai. But if our Gospel be Hid, it is Hid to them that are Lost: In whom the god of this world (Eph.2:2,3) hath Blinded the Minds of them which Believe Not, lest the Light of the Glorious Gospel of Christ, Who is The Image of El Shaddai, should Shine unto them. For we preach Not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your Servants for YeshuaÕs sake. For ADOWN, who commanded the LIGHT to Shine out of Darkness, hath Shined in our Hearts, to Give the LIGHT of THE KNOWLEDGE of THE GLORY of ADONAY in the Face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the Excellency of the Power may be of Adonay, and Not of us (2Cor. 4:1-7)
FLEE
Fornication.
Every Sin that a man
doeth is without (outside) the body; but he that committeth fornication
sinneth Against his Own body. What? Know ye not that your Body is The
Temple of The Holy Spirit which Is In you, which ye have
Of God, and ye Are Not your Own?
For ye are Bought with a Price
(1Cor.3:16,17; 7:23; Be ye Not
Servants of men: 1Cor.7:23):
therefore Glorify Adonay in your Body, and in your Spirit,
which Are God's.
Now concerning
the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man Not
to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to Avoid
Fornication, let every Man have his own Wife,
and let every Woman have her own Husband
(not boys and girls of either persuasion; see The Discipleship
of Marriage by this author).
Let the Husband
render unto the Wife due Benevolence:
and likewise also the Wife unto the Husband. The wife hath Not power of
her Own Body, but the Husband:
and likewise also the Husband hath Not Power of his Own Body, but the Wife.
Defraud ye not one the other (do not deprive one another of sex), except
it be with Consent for
a Time, that ye may give yourselves to Fasting and Prayer; and come Together
again, that Satan Tempt
you Not for your Incontinency.
But I speak this
by Permission, and not
of commandment. For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every
man hath his Proper gift
of God, one after this manner, and another after that. I say therefore
to the Unmarried and Widows, It is good for them if they Abide
even as I. But if they cannot Contain, let them Marry:
for it is Better to Marry than to Burn
(1Cor. 6:17 -> 7:9).
A detail that seems to eshew us is that what is still called Sin throughout the Scriptures is what is politely called the Fruits of the flesh in the New Testament.
Now the Works of the Flesh are Manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which
Do Such things shall NOT Inherit the Kingdom of Adonay.
Know ye not that the Unrighteous shall Not Inherit the Kingdom of Adonay? Be Not Deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind (Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders; NIV), Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall Inherit The Kingdom of Adown (and there is only one Other Destination). And such were some of you: but ye are Washed (Jhn.15:3),but ye are Sanctified, but ye are Justified (Pronounced guiltless, not Rationalized) INThe Name of the Lord Yeshua, and by The Spirit of our ADOWN (1Cor. 6:9-11).
But the Fruit
of The Spirit is Love,
Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance:
against such there is No Law.
And they that are
Christ's have Crucified
the Flesh with the Affections and Lusts.
If
we Live in the Spirit,
let
us also Walk in the Spirit.
Let us not be Desirous of Vain Glory, Provoking one another, Envying one another (Gal. 5:19-26).
Be ye therefore
Followers of Adonay, as dear Children; And Walk
In LOVE, as Christ also hath LOVED
us, and hath Given himself
For us an offering and a Sacrifice
to Adonay for a sweetsmelling savour.
But fornication, and
all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it Not
be Once Named among you, as Becometh Saints; Neither filthiness,
nor Foolish Talking, nor Jesting,
which are Not convenient: but rather Giving
of Thanks. For this ye know, that No whoremonger, nor unclean
person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath Any Inheritance in
The Kingdom of Christ and of El Shaddai.
Let no man Deceived you with Vain Words: for because of those things Cometh the WRATH of Adonay upon the children of Disobedience.
Be
Not ye therefore Partakers with them
(Eph. 5:1-7).
Mortify (put to sleep) therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
For
which Things' Sake the Wrath of Adonay
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,
who is Renewed in Knowledge In the
Image of Him that Created him: Where there is neither Greek
nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian,
Scythian, bond nor free: but
Put
On therefore, as the Elect
of Adonay, Holy and Beloved,
a Heart (bowels) of Mercies, Kindness,
Humbleness of Mind, Meekness, Longsuffering; Forbearing one
another, and Forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any:
even as Christ Forgave you, so also Do Ye.
And Above All these
things put on Charity,
which is the Bond of PERFECTNESS.
And let the PEACE of
Adonay Rule in your Hearts, to the which also ye are Called in One Body;
and be ye Thankful.
Let THE WORD of Christ (Rom.10:17;14:23) dwell in you Richly in all Wisdom; Teaching and Admonishing one another in Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs, Singing with Grace in your Hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye Do in Word or Deed, do All
in
all thy Doings,
Be
ye an Acknowledgment unto Him,
and
He will Direct thy Path
(Prov.3:6, personal translation)
in The Name of the Lord Yeshua, giving Thanks to Adonay and the Father by Him (Col. 3:5-17).
If any man Speak, let him Speak as the Oracles of Adonay; if any man Minister, let him do it as of the Ability which God Giveth: that God in All things may be Glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be Praise and Dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Beloved, think it not Strange concerning the Fiery Trial which is to try you, as though some Strange thing happened unto you: But Rejoice, inasmuch as ye are Partakers of Christ's Sufferings; that, when His Glory shall be Revealed, ye may be Glad also with Exceeding Joy. If ye be Reproached for The Name of Christ, Happy are ye; for The Spirit of Glory and of Adonay resteth upon you: on their part He is Evil spoken of, but on your part He is Glorified (1Pet.4:11-14).
Grace be to you and Peace from Adonay the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave Himself for our Sins, that He Might Deliver us From this present Evil world, according to The Will of Adonay and our Father: To Whom be Glory for ever and ever. Amen (Gal. 1:3-5). As ye have therefore Received Christ Jesus the Lord, so Walk Ye In Him: Rooted and built up IN Him, and Stablished in The Faith, as ye have been Taught, Abounding therein with Thanksgiving. 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 (Jhms.1:4), Who is the Head of All principality and power: In Whom also ye are Circumcised with the circumcision made Without Hands (of the Heart, Deut. 30:6), 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 God, Who hath Raised Him from the Dead. And you, being DEAD in your Sins and the Uncircumcision of your "Heart" (Jer.9:26; Ezk.44:7; Acts.7:51), hath he Quickened (to reanimate conjointly with #4806; to vitalize, make alive, to give life #2227; Ezk.37:14) 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 (Col.2:6-15).
For by One Offering HE hath Perfected for ever them that are Sanctified. Whereof the Holy Spirit also is a Witness to us: for after that he had said before, This is the Covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will Put My Laws into their Hearts, and in their Minds will I Write Them (Heb.8:10; 2Cor.5:17; Is.44:3; 59:21; Jer.24:7; 31:33; Ezk.11:19; 18:31; 36:26,27; 39:29; Joel 2:28,29; Zech.7:12). And their Sins and Iniquities will I Remember No More. Now where Remission of these Is, there is No More Offering for Sin.
Having therefore, brethren, Latter Growth (boldness? #3954) to enter into The Holiest by The Blood of Jesus, By a new and Living Way, which He hath Consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, His Flesh; And having an High Priest over the House of God; Let us draw Near with a True Heart in Full Assurance of Faith, having our Hearts Sprinkled from an Evil Conscience, and our bodies Washed with Pure Water (Jhn.15:3; Eph.5:25-27). Let us Hold Fast the Profession of our Faith without wavering; for He Is Faithful that Promised; And let us consider one another to Provoke unto Love and to Good Works: Not Forsaking the Assembling of ourselves Together, as the manner of some is; but Exhorting one another: and so much the More, as ye see The Day Approaching (Hebr. 10:14-25).
Harden
Not your Hearts, as in the Provocation, in the day
of Temptation
in the Wilderness: When your fathers Tempted
Me, Proved Me, and saw My Works forty years. Wherefore I was Grieved with
that generation, and said, They do
always Err in their Heart; and they have Not
Known My Ways. So I sware in My Wrath, They shall Not Enter
into My Rest. Take heed,
Brethren, lest there be In any of you an Evil
Heart of Unbelief, in Departing from The Living Adown. But
Exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be
Hardened
through the
DECEITFULNESS of SIN.
For we are made
Partakers
of Christ, IF
we Hold the Beginning of our Confidence Stedfast unto the End (Hebr.3:6);
While it is said, Today if ye will Hear HIS
VOICE (THE WORD; Ps.103:20; Deut.4:12,36; 1Sam.15:1; Job.34:16;
Dan.10:6,9; Heb.12:19), Harden Not
your Hearts, as in the Provocation.
For some, when
they had Heard, did Provoke:
howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. But with whom was He Grieved
forty years? Was it not with them that had Sinned,
whose Carcases Fell in the wilderness? And to whom sware He that they should
Not
Enter into His Rest, but to
them that Believed Not? So we see that they could Not
Enter in because of Disobedience
(Unbelief, #543,570,571: ìBecause they sought it Not by Faith
[the manifestation of the Righteousness of The Law, through Christ in us],
but as it were by the Works of (flesh) The Law. For they stumbled at that
stumblingstone:î (Rom.9:32); Hebr. 3:8-19; "The Rest
of Adonay" by this author).
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; Speaking Lies in Hypocrisy; having their Conscience Seared with a Hot Iron; Forbidding to Marry, and commanding to abstain from meats which El Shaddai hath created to be received with Thanksgiving, of them who Believe and Know the Truth. For every creature of Adonay is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with Thanksgiving: For it is Sanctified by The Word of Adonay and Prayer. If thou put the Brethren in Remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a Good Minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in The Words of Faith and of Good Doctrine (Matt.15:8,9) whereunto thou hast Attained. But Refuse Profane and old wives' fables (1Tim.5:11-15), and exercise thyself rather unto Godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth Little: but Godliness is Profitable unto All Things, having Promise of the Life that Now Is, and of that which Is to Come (1Tim. 4:1-8).
I Charge thee therefore
Before Adonay, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and
the dead at His appearing and His kingdom; Preach
The Word; be instant in season, out of season; Reprove, Rebuke,
Exhort with all Longsuffering and Doctrine.
For the Time will
come when they will Not Endure Sound
Doctrine; but after their Own
Lusts shall they Heap to themselves teachers, having Itching
Ears; And they shall Turn Away
their Ears from The Truth,
and shall be Turned unto Fables
(2Tim. 4:1-4; 2Tim.2:15,16).
This know also,
that in the Last
Days Perilous Times shall
come. For men shall be Lovers of their Own selves, covetous, boasters,
proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful,
unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent,
fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded,
lovers of Pleasures more than Lovers of Adonay; Having a Form of Godliness,
but Denying the Power thereof: from such Turn
Away.
For of this sort
are they which creep into houses, and lead Captive silly women laden with
Sins
(also applicable to various churches typed as women in scriptures), led
away with divers
Lusts,
Ever Learning, and Never Able
(Jer.9:6) to Come to The Knowledge
of The Truth (2Tim. 3:1-7).
For The Wrath of
Adown is Revealed from Heaven against all Ungodliness
and Unrighteousness of men, who hold The
Truth in Unrighteousness
(know the words, Not The Life); Because that which may beknown of Adonay
is manifest in them; for El Shaddai hath shown it unto them. For the invisible
things of HIM from the creation of the world are clearly
seen, being Understood by the things that are Made, even
HIS Eternal Power and Godhead; so that they are Without Excuse:
Because that, when they Knew Adonay, they Glorified
Him Not as Adown, neither were Thankful; but became Vain
in their Imaginations, and their Foolish Heart was Darkened.
Professing themselves to be Wise, they
became Fools, And Changed the Glory of the Uncorruptible
Adown into an Image made like to Corruptible man, and to
birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore El Shaddai
also gave them up to Uncleanness
through the Lusts of their own Hearts,
to Dishonour their own Bodies between Themselves: Who changed The
Truth of Adonay into a Lie,
and worshipped and Served the Creature
More than the Creator,
who is Blessed for ever. Amen.
For this cause
El Shaddai gave them up unto Vile Affections:
for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against
nature (no order implied; Hos.4:14): And likewise
also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman,
burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which
is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their Error
which was Meet.
And even as they
did not like to Retain
Adonay in their Knowledge, El Shaddai gave them over to a Reprobate
Mind, to Do those things which are Not Convenient; Being
filled with all Unrighteousness, fornication,
wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate,
deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters
of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient
to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers,
without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Who Knowing the Judgment of Adonay, that they which Commit such things
are Worthy of Death, not only Do the
Same, but have Pleasure in them that do them (Rom.1:18-32).
But there were False prophets also among the people, even as there shall be False Teachers among you, who privily shall bring in Damnable Heresies, even Denying The Lord that Bought them, and bring upon themselves Swift Destruction. And MANY shall Follow their Pernicious Ways; by reason of whom "The Way" of TRUTH shall be Evil Spoken of. And through Covetousness shall they with Feigned Words make Merchandise (Rev.18:13) of you: whose Judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their Damnation slumbereth not (2Pet. 2:1-3).
But these, as natural
Brute beasts, made to be taken and Destroyed, speak Evil of the things
that they Understand Not; and shall utterly Perish in their own Corruption;
And shall Receive the Reward of Unrighteousness,
as they that count it Pleasure to Riot in the day time. Spots they are
and Blemishes, sporting themselves with their own Deceivings
while they feast with you.
Having Eyes
Full of Adultery, and that Cannot Cease
from Sin; beguiling Unstable souls: an heart they have Exercised
with Covetous practices; cursed children: Which have Forsaken
the Right Way, and are gone Astray, following the way of
Balaam the son of Bosor, who Loved the Wages of Unrighteousness;
But was rebuked for his Iniquity:
the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
These are wells
Without Water, clouds that are carried with a Tempest; to
whom the mist of Darkness is reserved for ever. For when they speak great
swelling words of Vanity,
they Allure through the Lusts
of the Flesh, through much Wantonness, those that were clean Escaped from
them who live in Error.
While
they Promise them Liberty,
they
themselves are the servants of Corruption:
for of whom a man is Overcome, of the same is he brought in Bondage.
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. For it had been better
for them Not to have Known The Way
of Righteousness, than,
after they have Known "HIM",
to Turn from the Holy
Commandment delivered unto them (Dan.11:29-39). 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 (2Pet. 2:12-22).
Beloved, when I
gave all Diligence to write unto you of the common Salvation,
it was needful for me to write unto you, and Exhort you that ye should
Earnestly Contend for
The Faith which was once
Delivered unto the Saints.
For there are certain men Crept in "Secretly," who were before of Old Ordained
to this Condemnation,
ungodly men, turning The Grace
of our God into Lasciviousness, and
Denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
I will therefore
put you in Remembrance,
though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having Saved the people out
of the land of Egypt, afterward Destroyed
them that Believed Not. And the angels which kept not their first estate,
but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in Everlasting Chains
under Darkness unto the Judgment
of the Great Day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities
about them in like manner, giving themselves over to Fornication,
and going after Strange Flesh, are set forth For An Example,
suffering the Vengeance of Eternal Fire. Likewise also these Filthy
Dreamers Defile the flesh, Despise
Dominion, and Speak Evil of Dignities. Yet Michael the archangel,
when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst
not bring against him a railing Accusation, but said, THE
LORD REBUKE THEE.
But these Speak
Evil of those things which they Know Not: but what they know
naturally, as Brute beasts, in those things they Corrupt
themselves. Woe unto them! For they have gone in the way
of Cain, and ran Greedily after the
Error of Balaam for Reward, and perished in the Gainsaying
of Core. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with
you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds
they are Without Water, carried about of winds; trees whose
fruit Withereth, without fruit, Twice Dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging
waves of the sea, foaming out their own Shame; wandering
stars, to whom is Reserved the Blackness of Darkness
for ever.
And Enoch also,
the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, The Lord cometh
with ten thousands of His Saints, To execute Judgment upon all, and to
Convince all that are Ungodly
among them of all their Ungodly Deeds which they have Ungodly Committed,
and of all their Hard Speeches which Ungodly
Sinners have spoken against
Him. These are Murmurers, Complainers, walking after their own Lusts;
and their mouth speaketh great Swelling Words (Dan.7:25; Rev.13, 2Thes.2),
having men's Persons in Admiration
because of Advantage. But, beloved, remember ye The
Words which were spoken before of the Apostles of our Lord
Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be Mockers
in the Last Time, who should Walk after their own Ungodly Lusts. These
be they who separate themselves, Sensual, having Not
the Spirit.
But ye, beloved,
building up yourselves On your MOST
HOLY FAITH, Praying in the Holy Spirit, Keep yourselves In
The LOVE of Adonay, looking
for the Mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto Eternal
Life.
And of some have
Compassion, making a
Difference: And others Save with Fear,
pulling them Out of the Fire; Hating even the Garment Spotted
by the flesh. Now unto Him that is able to Keep
you from Falling, and to present you Faultless before the
presence of His Glory with Exceeding
Joy, To the only Wise Adown our Saviour, be Glory and Majesty,
Dominion and Power, both now and ever. Amen (Jude 3-25).
Grace and Peace
be multiplied unto you through The
Knowledge of ADOWN, and of Yeshua our Lord, According as
HIS Divine Power hath
given unto us All things (Knowledge) that Pertain unto Life and Godliness,
through The Knowledge
of Him Who hath Called (Matt.22:14) us to Glory
and Virtue: 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 JESUS 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: 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. Wherefore I will not be Negligent
to put you always in Remembrance
of these things, though ye know them, and be Established
in the present Truth (2Pet.1:2-12).
If any man teach Otherwise, and Consent Not to Wholesome Words, even the Words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the Doctrine which is According to Godliness (Matt.15:8,9); He is Proud, Knowing Nothing, but Doting about Questions and Strifes of Words, whereof cometh Envy, Strife, Railings, Evil Surmisings, Perverse Disputings of men of Corrupt Minds, and Destitute of the Truth, supposing that Gain is Godliness: from such WITHDRAW THYSELF.
But Godliness with Contentment is great Gain.
For we brought nothing
into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having
food and raiment let us be therewith Content.
But they that will be Rich fall into
Temptation and a Snare,
and into many Foolish and Hurtful Lusts,
which Drown men in Destruction and
Perdition. For the love of money is the Root
of all Evil: which while some Coveted
after, they have Erred
from the Faith, and Pierced
themselves through with Many Sorrows.
But thou, O
man of Adown, Flee
these things; and Follow after Righteousness,
Godliness, Faith, Love, Patience, Meekness. Fight the good fight of faith,
Lay Hold on Eternal Life, whereunto thou art also Called,
and hast Professed a good Profession before many witnesses (1Tim. 6:3-12).
There hath no Temptation
taken you but such as is Common to man: but Adonay
is Faithful, who will Not suffer you to be Tempted
above that ye are Able; but will with the Temptation
also make a way to Escape,
that ye may be able to Bear it (1Cor. 10:13). Blessed is the man that Endureth
Temptation: for when
he is Tried,
he shall Receive the Crown of Life,
which the Lord hath Promised
to them that Love Him.
Let no man say when he is Tempted,
I am tempted of Adonay: for El Shaddai Cannot be Tempted
with Evil, neither Tempts
He any man: But every man is Tempted,
when he is Drawn Away of his own Lust,
and Enticed. Then when
Lust hath Conceived,
it bringeth forth Sin:
and Sin, when it is Finished,
bringeth forth Death.
Do not Err, my
beloved brethren. Every Good Gift and
every Perfect Gift is from Above, and cometh Down from the
Father of Lights, with
Whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of His
Own Will begat he us with The
Word Of Truth, that we should be a kind of Firstfruits
of His creatures.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be
Swift
to Hear,
Slow
to Speak,
Slow
to Wrath:
For
the Wrath of man
worketh
Not the Righteousness of Adonay.
Wherefore lay apart all Filthiness and Superfluity of Naughtiness, and Receive with Meekness The Engrafted Word, which is able to SAVE your SOULS (The Word of The Lord, working in our Hearts, Cleanses us from Sin, and Grows us in the Grace of The Lord; 2Pet.3:18). But be ye Doers of The Word, and not Hearers only, Deceiving your Own selves. For if any be a Hearer of The Word, and Not a Doer (Mat.7:21-27), he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway Forgetteth what manner of man he Was. But whoso Looketh into The Perfect Law of Liberty, and Continueth therein, he being Not a Forgetful Hearer, but a DOER of the WORK, this man shall be Blessed in his Deed (Jms.1:12-25).
Wherefore seeing we also are Compassed about with so great a Cloud of Witnesses (we are not alone), let us lay Aside every Weight, and the Sin which doth so Easily Beset (a competitor, thwarting (a racer) in every direction; by impl. to hinder #2139) us, and let us run with Patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Yeshua the Author and Finisher of our Faith; who for the Joy that was set before Him Endured The Cross, Despising the Shame, and is set down at the Right Hand of the Throne of Adonay. For consider him that Endured such CONTRADICTION of SINNERS against Himself, lest ye be WEARIED and FAINT in your Minds. Ye have Not yet Resisted unto Blood, striving Against Sin (Hebr. 12:1-4). But the Adown of all Grace, who hath Called us unto HIS Eternal Glory by Christ Yeshua, after that ye have Suffered a while, make you Perfect, Stablish, Strengthen, Settle you (1Pet. 5:10).
By faith Moses, when he was come to years, Refused to be Called the Son of Pharaoh's daughter; Choosing rather to Suffer Affliction with the People of Adonay, than to Enjoy the PLEASURES of Sin for a SEASON; Esteeming the Reproach of Christ greater Riches than the Treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the Recompence of the Reward. By Faith he forsook Egypt, Not fearing the Wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing Him Who is Invisible. Through Faith he kept the Passover, and the Sprinkling of Blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. By Faith they Passed through the Red sea as By Dry Land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were Drowned (Hebr. 11:24-29).
Forasmuch then as
Christ hath Suffered for us in the
flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the Same Mind: for he
that hath Suffered in the flesh hath Ceased from
Sin;
That he No Longer should
Live the Rest of his time in the flesh
to the Lusts of men, but to
The Will of Adonay.
For the time past
of our life may suffice us to have wrought the
will of the gentiles (of the flesh), when we Walked
in Lasciviousness, Lusts, Excess of wine, Revellings, Banquetings, and
Abominable Idolatries: Wherein they think it Strange that
ye Run Not with them to the Same Excess
of Riot, speaking Evil of you: Who shall Give
Account to Him that is Ready to Judge the Quick and the Dead
(1Pet. 4:1-5).
Wherefore Yeshua
also, that He might Sanctify the People with His
Own Blood, Suffered Without
(Outside) the gate. Let us go Forth therefore unto Him
Without the Camp, Bearing His Reproach.
For here have we No Continuing City,
but we seek one to come.
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. And to do Good
and to Communicate forget Not: for with such Sacrifices
Adonay is well Pleased
(Hebr. 13:12-16).
Wherefore also is
contained in The Scripture,
Behold, I lay in Zion
a Chief Corner Stone,
Elect, Precious: and he that Believeth on Him shall Not be Confounded.
Unto you therefore which Believe He is Precious: but unto them which be
DISOBEDIENT, the stone
which the builders Disallowed,
the same is made the Head of the Corner,
And a Stone of Stumbling, and a Rock
of Offence, even to them which Stumble at The Word, being
DISOBEDIENT: whereunto
also they were Appointed.
But ye are a Chosen
Generation, a Royal Priesthood
(Rev.1:5,6), an Holy Nation, a Peculiar People; that ye should Show
Forth the Praises of HIM
who hath Called you Out of Darkness
into His Marvellous Light:
Which in time past were Not a people, but are now The
People of Adonay: which had not obtained Mercy, but now have
Obtained Mercy.
Dearly beloved,
I beseech you as Strangers and Pilgrims,
Abstain from Fleshly Lusts (all earthly desires #1910), which War
(Gal.5:17) 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
Adonay in the day of Visitation (1Pet. 2:6-12).
The Church had Always been Admonished to be Separate from the world, something the "Melting Pot" theory has Done Away With; but now all the more, in view of the COMING TIMES:
For all nations have Drunk of the Wine (Jer.51:7) of the Wrath of her FORNICATION (Rev,17:1-6,15-18), and the kings of the earth have committed FORNICATION (Extra Marital sex: 1Cor.7:1 (incl. adultery, incest, homosexuality, beastiality, etc.), unlawful (mosaically speaking) lusts (worldly desires), illicit intercourses (Jms.4:4), Harlotry, Idolatry #4202-4204) with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her Delicacies (akin to #4131, a striker; strength (by Impl.. Iron fist: author's note), strenuousness, fig. Luxuriance, Voluptuousness, Luxury #4764). 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.
For her Sins have reached unto Heaven, and God hath remembered her Iniquities (Rev. 18:3-5). And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy Sorceries were all nations Deceived (Matt.24:24). And in her was found the Blood of Prophets, and of Saints, and of all that were Slain upon the earth (Rev. 18:23,24).
As to Pre-Trib. UNDERSTAND:
Rev.20:4 -> 19:7,8 -> 13:8 -> 7:13-15 -> 9:4 -> 3:10.
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him, That ye be not soon Shaken in Mind, or be Troubled, neither by Spirit, nor by Word, nor by letter as from us, as that The Day of Christ Is at Hand.
Let no man Deceive
you by any means: for that day shall Not come, except there come a Falling
Away First, and that Man Of Sin
be Revealed, the Son of Perdition;
Who Opposeth and Exalteth himself Above
All that is Called Adown, or that is Worshipped; so that he as god sitteth
in the temple of Adonay, showing himself that he is
god.
Remember ye not, that,
when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
For the Mystery of Iniquity doth
already Work: only he who now letteth will let, until
he be taken out of the way.
And then shall that Wicked
be revealed, whom the Lord shall Consume with The
Spirit (Eph.6:17) of His
Mouth, and shall Destroy with the Brightness of His Coming:
Even him, whose coming is after the Working of Satan
with all Power and Signs and Lying
Wonders, And with all Deceivableness
of Unrighteousness in them that Perish; because they Received
Not the Love of The Truth,
that they Might be Saved.
And for this cause
Adonay shall send them Strong Delusion,
that they should Believe a Lie:
That they all might be Damned who Believed
Not The Truth, but had Pleasure in Unrighteousness
(2Thes. 2:1-12).
And to you who are Troubled Rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be Revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, In Flaming Fire taking Vengeance on them that KNOW NOT Adonay, and that OBEY NOT The Gospel of our Lord Yeshua The Christ: Who shall be Punished with Everlasting Destruction from the Presence of the Lord, and from the Glory of His Power; When He shall come to be Glorified in His Saints, and to be admired in all them that Believe, because our Testimony among you was Believed in that day (2Ths. 1:7-10).
For ye, brethren, became Followers of the Churches of Adown which in Judaea are IN Christ Yeshua (2Cor.5:17; Rom.8:1,2): for ye also have Suffered like things of your Own Countrymen, even as they have of the Jews: Who both Killed the Lord Yeshua, and their Own Prophets, and have Persecuted us; and they Please Not Adonay, and are Contrary to All men: Forbidding us to Speak to the Gentiles (some cases other believers; 3Jhn.6-10) that they might be Saved, to fill up their Sins always: for the Wrath is come upon them to the Uttermost (1Ths.2:14-16).
For ye are Not Come unto
the mount that might be touched, and that Burned with
Fire (Exod.19), nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, And the
sound of a trumpet, and the Voice of Words; which
Voice
(THE WORD, Ps.103:20; Joel 2:11) they that heard entreated that The
Word should not be spoken to them any more:
For they could Not Endure that which was Commanded,
And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be Stoned,
or Thrust through with a Dart: And so Terrible was the Sight,
that Moses said, I Exceedingly Fear and Quake.
But ye are come unto
Mount Zion (Is.2:3; Mic.4:2),
and unto the City Of The Living Adown,
the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the
general Assembly and
Church of the Firstborn,
which are written in heaven, and to Adonay
the Judge of All, and to The
Spirits of Just Men made Perfect, and to Yeshua
the Mediator of the New Covenant,
and to The Blood of Sprinkling,
that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
See that ye Refuse
Not Him that Speaketh. For if they escaped Not who refused him that Spake
on earth, much more shall Not we Escape,
if we Turn Away from Him Who speaketh from Heaven: Whose Voice
(THE WORD, Ps.103:20; Joel 2:11) then shook the earth: but now HE
hath Promised, saying, Yet once more I shake Not the earth Only, but also
Heaven. And This Word,
Yet once more, signifieth the Removing
of those things that are Shaken, as of things that are made, that those
things which Cannot be Shaken
may Remain.
Wherefore we receiving
a KINGDOM
which CANNOT be MOVED, let us have GRACE, whereby we may
Serve Adonay acceptably with Reverence
and Godly Fear:
For our ADOWN is a Consuming Fire
(Hebr. 12:18-29).
Except The LORD (Jhn.1:14) Build the house, they Labour in Vain that build it: except The LORD Keep the City, the Watchman waketh but in Vain. It is Vain for you to Rise up Early, to sit up Late, to eat the bread of Sorrows: for so He giveth His Beloved Sleep (Ps. 127:1,2).
I will Praise Thee with my Whole Heart: before the gods will I sing Praise unto Thee. I will worship toward Thy Holy Temple, and Praise THY NAME for thy Lovingkindness and for THY TRUTH:
for thou hast Magnified THY
WORD
Above all THY
NAME
(Ps.138:1,2).
"And" as many as Received (to espouse, to lay hold of (Phil.3:12) #2983) Him (Jhn.1:14), to them gave HE Power to Become the Sons (and Daughters) of Adonay, even to them who Believeth (to entrust (esp. OneÕs Spiritual Well-being), from 4102: to have firm conviction in THE TRUTH of Adown, assurance #4100) on HIS NAME: Who were Born, Not of blood (not hereditary), Nor of the Will of the flesh, Nor of the Will of man, but of Adonay.
And THE WORD Was Made Flesh,
and dwelt among us, and we beheld His Glory, the Glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father, full of GRACE and TRUTH (Jhn1:12-14). Wherefore Adonay also hath Highly Exalted Him, and given Him A NAME which is Above every NAME: That at THE NAME of Yeshua every knee should Bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every Tongue should Confess that
JESUS
CHRIST IS LORD,
to
THE GLORY of ADONAY the FATHER (Phil. 2:9-11).
Giving a Deeper meaning to:
" Thou shalt Not take The Name of the LORD Thy ADOWN in Vain;
for the LORD will Not hold him Guiltless that taketh His Name in vain" (Exod.20:7).
O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, The Adown of Yisrael, have I Declared unto You (Is.21:8-10). I Charge you by the Lord "Yeshua" that this Epistle be Read unto ALL the HOLYBRETHREN. The GRACE of our Lord Yeshua The Christ be With you. Amen (1Ths.5:27,28).
