Study of the Book of Hebrews Chapter 3 (Moses) Bible Study

[Note to Blog Readers: Expositor Notes Are in Bold Italic Font]

Not all meeting house’s have God present in their congregation, during Worship time and is facing a life of death in hell, due to the fact that many has rejected Jesus Christ and the Cross. The Word of Faith movement has slipped into the walls and behind the Pulpit, now Satan resides behind it, in many Meeting House’s today and will be rejected from entering in God’s Kingdom. Those who Preaches on the Word of Faith doctrine, rejects Jesus Christ and the Cross and they are no better than Israel of the old. Everything was maid by God and for God and so were you. We have buildings, house’s, meeting House’s, Cars, Computers and so on, that was built by hands and of man, unless they are reborn Again Christian and give God all the credit for what they have built, then it would be built by God and not man. What is Zach talking about here? I tried to explain this to other people in person and they couldn't understand it either, because they are not quite right with God. Everything was spoken into existence by God, meaning that He built this planet and produced everything in and on it and that includes you. We are built by God, for God and that is it. Those who rejects this Truth, is of Satan and things that is built by a sinner, who has rejected Jesus Christ and the Cross, is maid by man and not of God. Another words, if the reborn again Christian, whom is Saved by God’s Grace and not of Works, things that are built by the Christian, is built by God, through the Temple of God, which is of the Christian. The Christian’s body, is the instrument and the Temple of God, better known as the real Church, and are the Servant’s of the Lord, whom is our God. The Meeting house’s who does not Preach about Jesus Christ and of the Cross, is Preaching and Teaching of unbelief and are not Saved, that is very dangerous and deadly to the souls, of those who are practicing and living by unbelief. Why do you think God has been telling me to warn you all about false doctrines, about false bibles and false religions? It’s because they are not of God and is no better than how Israel is, because they did the samething, they rejected Jesus Christ and the Cross. I think at this point, we should get started in this Bible Study and allow the Gospel tell you, through the Word of God. Lets get started.

Hebrews 3:1-19 (KJV)
MOSES
1 Wherefore, Holy Brethren, partakers of the Heavenly Calling (pertains to all Believers), consider the Apostle (presents the only time Christ is referred to as an “Apostle”) and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus (among the Jews, the High Priest was also considered to be the Apostle of God; consequently, the two Apostles are now compared, the High Priest of Israel and Christ Jesus); 2 Who was faithful to Him Who appointed Him (should read, “Christ was faithful to God Who appointed Him as Apostle and High Priest”), as also Moses was faithful in all his house. (This presents the Holy Spirit through Paul handling Moses delicately; however, there are vast differences in the two.) 3 For this Man (Christ Jesus) was counted worthy of more glory than Moses (finds Paul proclaiming the humanity of Christ, by which measurement he compares Moses), inasmuch as He (God) Who has built the house has more honour than the house. (This proclaims the fact that the Lord built the House of Israel.) 4 For every house is built by some man (presents the fact that even though men are the instruments used by God, they are, in fact, only instruments); but He Who built all things is God. (Christ, although humbling Himself to the likeness of sinful flesh, is still the Builder of all things, which means He is far greater than Moses [Jn. 1:1-3].) 5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant (proclaims the position of the great Lawgiver as it relates to God), for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after (pertained to Moses and the entirety of the Law with all its ceremonies, etc., all pointing to Christ and the Cross, Who was to come); 6 But Christ as a Son over His Own house (presents a clear distinction made between the Old Testament House of God and the New Testament House); Whose house are we (refers to the Church), if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end (if we keep our confidence in Christ and the Cross).

ISRAEL
7 Wherefore (as the Holy Spirit says (Ps. 95:7-11), Today if you will hear His Voice (presents words which were originally a warning to Israel not to provoke God, lest they be excluded from the “rest” He had promised them; this same warning is now given to Christians), 8 Harden not your hearts (as Israel hardened their hearts against God in the wilderness, it is likewise possible for modern Christians to do the same), as in the provocation (Israel provoked God), in the day of temptation in the wilderness (the Lord didn’t tempt Israel, they tempted Him!): 9 When your fathers tempted Me (they tempted God through unbelief and rebellion), proved Me (registered unbelief toward God), and saw My works forty years. (The proof was all around them regarding the miracle-working Power of God that was exhibited daily, even for forty years, but they still wouldn’t believe.) 10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation (and because of their unbelief), and said, They do always err in their heart (proclaims the seat of obedience or disobedience); and they have not known My Ways. (They could have known, but had no desire to know.) 11 So I swore in My wrath (is figurative, and denotes a determined purpose), They shall not enter into My rest. (This refers here to a particular “rest,” which pertained to the land of Canaan, but was undoubtedly regarded as emblematic of the “rest” afforded by Salvation.) 12 Take heed, Brethren (proclaims Paul warning Believers by the examples of Israel’s failures in the wilderness), lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief (the Greek order of words is, “a heart evil with reference to unbelief”), in departing from the Living God. (As stated, the problem is unbelief, and in modern terminology it refers to unbelief in Christ and the Cross.) 13 But exhort one another daily (proclaims a constant frequency, which means the preacher should preach the Cross, and do so constantly), while it is called today (it must be done today; in other words, start now talking and speaking about the Cross, which is the only answer [I Cor. 1:17; Gal. 6:14]); lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. (This actually says, “the deceitfulness of the sin,” which refers to a rejection of the Sacrifice of Christ.) 14 For we are made partakers of Christ (refers to Rom. 6:3-5), if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end (if our confidence remains steadfast in Christ and the Cross); 15 While it is said, Today if you will hear His Voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation (Vss. 7-8). 16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke (should have been translated, “For who when they had heard did provoke”; all did except Joshua and Caleb [Num. 14:6-9]): howbeit not all who came out of Egypt by Moses. (This should have been translated, “Was it not all who came out of Egypt through Moses?”) 17 But with whom was He grieved forty years? (This refers to God’s wrath continuing simply because their unbelief continued.) was it not with them who had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? (Unbelief caused the deaths of approximately two million people.) 18 And to whom swore He that they should not enter into His rest, but to them who believed not? (They lost everything because of unbelief, and the modern Church is doing the same, which is the very reason that Paul wrote this Epistle.) 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief (and if the modern Believer registers unbelief toward Christ and the Cross, the results will be the same as it was with Israel of Old).

John 1:1-3 (KJV)
1 In the beginning (does not infer that Christ as God had a beginning, because as God He had no beginning, but rather refers to the time of Creation [Gen. 1:1]) was the Word (the Holy Spirit through John describes Jesus as “the Eternal Logos”), and the Word was with God (“was in relationship with God,” and expresses the idea of the Trinity), and the Word was God (meaning that He did not cease to be God during the Incarnation; He “was” and “is” God from eternity past to eternity future). 2 The same was in the beginning with God (this very Person was in eternity with God; there’s only one God, but manifested in three Persons — God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit). 3 All things were made by Him (all things came into being through Him; it refers to every item of Creation one by one, rather than all things regarded in totality); and without Him was not any thing made that was made (nothing, not even one single thing, was made independently of His cooperation and volition).

Genesis 1:1 (KJV)
1 In the beginning (refers to the beginning of creation, or at least the creation as it refers to this universe; God, unformed, unmade, uncreated, had no beginning; He always was, always is, and always shall be) God (the phrase, “In the beginning God,” explains the first cause of all things as it regards creation) created the heaven and the Earth (could be translated “the heavens and the Earth” because God created the entirety of the universe).

Psalms 95:7-11 (KJV)
7 For He is our God; and we are the people of His Pasture, and the sheep of His Hand. Today if you will hear His Voice (this Passage is quoted in Hebrews 3:7–11 and 4:7; what a privilege to say, “He is our God” and that “we are the people of His Pasture”; as well, the expression, “the sheep of His Hand,” refers to our being made by Him; it has a far greater meaning than if a shepherd purchases sheep; in this instance, it means that God created the sheep — “the sheep of His Hand”; accordingly, we are admonished to “hear His Voice,” the voice of the Shepherd), 8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness (the wilderness was a proving time for Israel; regrettably, they failed!): 9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. (Israel tempted the Lord in the wilderness, and refused to believe, even though they “saw His Work.”) 10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people who do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways (Israel challenged God to provide a table for them in the desert and, when it was provided, declared that Pharaoh’s was better, so they desired to appoint a captain to return to Egypt! [Num. 14:3–4]): 11 Unto whom I swore in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest. (The greatest sin of all just may be the sin of faithlessness. The entire fabric of the Plan of God demands Faith. Men forsake God because they don’t believe God. In the Wilderness, Israel showed unbelief. They died because of that unbelief and “could not enter into God’s rest.”)

Numbers 14:3-4 (KJV)
3 And wherefore has the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt? (God is now blamed, whereas before they had only blamed Moses and Aaron.) 4 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt. (Pulpit says, “Nothing less than an entire and deliberate revolt was involved in the wish to elect a captain for themselves, for the Lord was the Captain of this host [Josh. 5:14-15]. The proposal to depose Him, and to choose another in His place, marked the extremity of the unbelief, and the ingratitude of the people.”)

Joshua 5:14-15 (KJV)
14 And He (the Lord) said, No; but as Captain of the Host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto Him, What says my Lord unto His servant? (Joshua then recognized Him as the Lord. Concerning this, Williams says, “An absolute condition of victory is full surrender to Christ as Lord. He must be accepted as Captain, be permitted to plan, and be fully obeyed.”) 15 And the Captain of the LORD’s Host said unto Joshua, Loose your shoe from off your foot; for the place whereon you stand is Holy. And Joshua did so. (The demand that the shoes be removed from Joshua’s feet, and the removal of those shoes, guaranteed that He Who now spoke to Joshua was a Divine Person, actually, as stated, a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ. The removal of the shoes in essence indicated that Joshua was giving up all ownership and leadership, thereby giving Christ total control. We have four steps to victory here: 

1. The death of self — Circumcision; 

2. Testimony to the Blood of the Lamb — Passover; 

3. Feeding on the Word of God — old corn of the land; and, 

4. Subjection to Christ as Lord — pulling off the shoes.)

1 Corinthians 1:17 (KJV)
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize (presents to us a Cardinal Truth), but to preach the Gospel (the manner in which one may be Saved from sin): not with wisdom of words (intellectualism is not the Gospel), lest the Cross of Christ should be made of none effect. (This tells us in no uncertain terms that the Cross of Christ must always be the emphasis of the Message.)

Galatians 6:14 (KJV)
14 But God forbid that I should glory (boast), save in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ (what the opponents of Paul sought to escape at the price of insincerity is the Apostle’s only basis of exultation), by Whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. (The only way we can overcome the world, and I mean the only way, is by placing our Faith exclusively in the Cross of Christ and keeping it there.)

Romans 6:3-5 (KJV) [Note to Readers refer back to the Romans Chapter 6 Study for corresponding Scriptures]
3 Know you not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ (plainly says that this Baptism is into Christ and not water [I Cor. 1:17;12:13; Gal. 3:27; Eph. 4:5; Col. 2:11-13]) were baptized into His Death? (When Christ died on the Cross, in the Mind of God, we died with Him; in other words, He became our Substitute, and our identification with Him in His Death gives us all the benefits for which He died; the idea is that He did it all for us!) 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death (not only did we die with Him, but we were buried with Him as well, which means that all the sin and transgression of the past were buried; when they put Him in the Tomb, they put all of our sins into that Tomb as well): 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 (we died with Him, we were buried with Him, and His Resurrection was our Resurrection to a “Newness of Life”). 5 For if we have been planted together (with Christ) in the likeness of His Death (Paul proclaims the Cross as the instrument through which all Blessings come; consequently, the Cross must ever be the Object of our Faith, which gives the Holy Spirit latitude to work within our lives), we shall be also in the likeness of His Resurrection (we can have the “likeness of His Resurrection,” i.e., “live this Resurrection Life,” only as long as we understand the “likeness of His Death,” which refers to the Cross as the Means by which all of this is done):

Numbers 14:6-9 (KJV)
JOSHUA AND CALEB
6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them who searched the land, rent their clothes (the “tearing of their clothes” was meant to serve as a symbol unto the people of the extremity of the situation, hoping to turn them around): 7 And they spoke unto all the company of the Children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land. 8 If the LORD delight in us, then He will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which flows with milk and honey. 9 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear you the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not. (“If the Lord be with us, who can be against us?”)

If you have found the Lord Jesus as your Savior, after reading this Study, then congratulations, God is for you and who can be against you?, No one. You are now in the Present’s of the Lord and all you need to do is to, Accept Him with Belief, into your heart and believe in what Jesus Christ did at the Cross at Calvary, you then will be Saved and Heaven Bound. Who can take you out of the Hands of God and of His Loving Grace, no one. Once that you have been Converted to being a reborn again Christian, you are guaranteed Salvation in Heaven, through Belief and of Faith. Lets close in a Word of Prayer and we will continue next week, with the next Chapter in Hebrews.

SERMON ABOUT SEEKER SENSITIVE PEOPLE Produced by God, presented through His vessel, by Zach and through God’s Word, The King James Expositor Study Bible

Lets get Started by reading from the Word of God.

2 Tomothy 4:3-5 For the time will come when they will not endure sound Doctrine (“sound Doctrine” pertains to overriding principles: the Salvation of the sinner, and the Sanctification of the Saint; the Cross is the answer for both, and is the only answer for both); but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears (refers to the people who have ears that “itch” for the smooth and comfortable word, and are willing to reward handsomely the man who is sufficiently compromising to speak it; hearers of this type have rejected the Truth and prefer to hear the lie); 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the Truth (those who follow false teachers not only turn away their ears from the Truth, but see to it that the ears are always in a position such that they will never come in contact with the Truth), and shall be turned unto fables. (If it’s not the “Message of the Cross,” then it is “fables” [I Cor. 1:18].) 5 But watch thou in all things (carries the idea of watching one’s own life, Ministry, and the Doctrine which we are proclaiming), endure afflictions (carries the idea of not allowing hardships, difficulties, or troubles to hinder one’s carrying forth of one’s Ministry; it is a sharp command given with military snap and curtness; Wuest says, “How we in the Ministry of the Word need that injunction today. What a ’softy’ we sometimes are, afraid to come out clearly in our proclamation of the Truth and our stand as to false doctrine, fearing the ostracism of our fellows, the Ecclesiastical displeasure of religious leaders so-called, or even the cutting off of our immediate financial income.” [“I would rather walk a lonely road with Jesus than be in a crowd, without His fellowship”]), do the work of an Evangelist (keep trying to get people Saved), make full proof of your Ministry (does it match up with the Word of God?). 1Corithians 1:18, adding verse 19. 18 For the preaching (Message) of the Cross is to them who perish foolishness (Spiritual things cannot be discerned by unredeemed people, but that doesn’t matter; the Cross must be preached just the same, even as we shall see); but unto us who are Saved it is the Power of God. (The Cross is the Power of God simply because it was there that the total sin debt was paid, giving the Holy Spirit, in Whom the Power resides, latitude to work mightily within our lives.) 19 For it is written (Isa. 29:14), I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent (speaks to those who are wise in their own eyes, in effect, having forsaken the Ways of the Lord). Isaiah 29:14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. (The idea of the Passage is that despite the unbelief of men, God’s Work would nevertheless be carried out. While it is true that the unbelief would cause millions to die eternally lost, still, some would accept. Those who accept will receive Eternal Life.)

Many of you have become fools to the Truth of God’s Holy Word, due to reading and listening to false doctrines, which comes from false teachers, false networks and so called pastors and you know who they are, I have posted warnings about them and the sad part of it is, most of you failed to listen. False prophets, and pastors will not be in Heaven when they die, unless they turn away from the false teachings and start Preaching on the Truth and about Jesus Christ, the Cross and Him Crucified, and they are leading others to hell, because when they hear sound Doctrine, they reject it and don’t want the Truth. They want to hear what will allow them to continue to live in sin and think that they will still be Saved, even though they are still living in sin and think that there is nothing wrong with it. Not every Book out there is the True Word of God and many of you are Spiritually Blind, due to false doctrine. God’s Word is very clear about exposing false doctrine and have nothing to do with the unrighteous. Here, take a look for yourselves; God will destroy those who thinks that they are wise in their false teachings, they will not be Saved and neither will those who chooses to follow them. Lets read some more on this;

FALSE PROPHETS AND DECEPTIONS Matthew 7:15-18 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves (“beware of false prophets” is said in the sternest of measures! there will be and are false prophets, and are some of Satan’s greatest weapons). 16 You shall know them by their fruits (this is the test as given by Christ as it regards identification of false prophets and false apostles). Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? (It is impossible for false doctrine, generated by false prophets, to bring forth good fruit.) 17 Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit (the good fruit is Christlikeness, while the evil fruit is self-likeness). 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit (the “good tree” is the Cross, while the “corrupt tree” pertains to all of that which is other than the Cross).

This world has been deceived by Satan’s greatest weapon and many of you has become fools to the Truth and now its behind the Pulpits, in our local meeting houses, not all, but in some. Becareful who you listen too, not all of them are Preaching and Teaching the True Gospel of Jesus Christ and what He did at the Cross and not even Preaching the True Salvation, that saves the sinners souls. We have every right to stand up for the True Gospel of Jesus Christ. We will be mocked and spit upon and people will try to convict the Christian for Judging wrong, but I don’t care. I am looking for toes to step on. You can mock me, persecute me, or even kill me and hate me for telling you the Truth, but hey, that means that you hate Jesus Christ, whom is God, by the way, The sinners hated God, back in the day when He was here on earth as Jesus Christ, first. I’m not ashamed of the Word of God and in fact, if you don’t have God in your heart and life and if your not Living fully for God, you then will be rejected by God and sent to hell, because you, have rejected Jesus Christ, the Cross and Him Crucified, which means that you have rejected God and accepted Satan has your father and god. your fathers will, the sinner will do. I wish this was good news for you seeker sensitive people, but your not going to get a cushioned Sermon when the Truth is preached here. Tbn is leading billions to hell. They have fired several pastors from their programming, due to the fact that they started to Preach sound doctrine from the True Gospel of Jesus Christ. That's why many of them are no longer on that station. Tbn wants preachers who will preach lies upon lies. I have shared the Truth on facebook about it, but many of you, wants to hear lies and live in darkness of Satan and reject the Truth, when its told to you. Shame on you, hell will be the final eternal place, and when these false teachers, will be at for all eternity, when they die and anyone who is ignorant to the True Word of God, that is following these false prophets, will be joining them when they die as well. Yes, God is a Loving and forgiving God, but He will not tolerate sins of the world. God sends no one to hell, people sends themselves to hell, by not Obeying the Word of God, which is by living in any sin, that is in this world. You must be Born again through Jesus Christ, You must Believe and have Faith in Him and in what He did at the Cross. Heaven is Guaranteed to those who are Born again and having a Relationship with Him and by Believing and having Faith. You can’t be friends with Satan and expect to be Saved and go to Heaven. You must deny yourselves at the Cross, which means that you are dead in sin but, then you become Alive in Jesus Christ and Saved. You must give up your sinful lifestyles, which can only be done by and Through, Jesus Christ and the Power of the Holy Ghost and not of yourselves. I will never, ever, sugarcoat the Word of God, Tbn is doing a great job of that. Closing Scriptures.

JESUS John 14:6-11 6 Jesus said unto Him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life (proclaims in no uncertain terms exactly Who and What Jesus is): no man comes unto the Father, but by Me (He declares positively that this idea of God as Father, this approach to God for every man is through Him — through what He is and what He has done). 7 If you had known Me, you should have known My Father also (means, “If you had learned to know me spiritually and experientially, you should have known that I and the Father are One,” i.e., One in essence and unity, and not in number): and from Henceforth you know Him, and have seen Him (when one truly sees Jesus, one truly sees the Father; as stated, they are “One” in essence). 8 Philip said unto Him, Lord, show us the Father, and it suffices us (like Philip, all, at least for the most part, want to see God, but the far greater majority reject the only manner and way to see Him, which is through Jesus). 9 Jesus said unto Him, Have I been so long with you, and yet have you not known Me, Philip? (Reynolds says, “There is no right understanding of Jesus Christ until the Father is actually seen in Him.”) He who has seen Me has seen the Father (presents the very embodiment of Who and What the Messiah would be; if we want to know what God is like, we need only look at the Son); and how do you say then, Show us the Father? 10 Do you believe not that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? (The key is “believing.”)the words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself (the words which came out of the mouth of the Master are, in fact, those of the Heavenly Father): but the Father who dwells in Me, He does the works (the Father does such through the Holy Spirit). 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me (once again places Faith as the vehicle and Jesus as the Object): or else believe Me for the very works’ sake (presents a level which should be obvious to all, and includes present observation as well).

Jesus Christ and the Father, God, resides in me. I am Saved and Heaven Bound, Glory to God. Why not you? Amen

Study of the Book of Hebrews Chapter 2 (COVENANT) Bible Study

[Note to Blog Readers: Expositor Notes Are in Bold Italic Font]

People in this world who are not Saved, which be the ones who has rejected the Cross as their only means of Salvation, is in grave danger of losing their souls in hell, for all eternity, if they don’t turn back to God and repent. Friends, we were put here for one reason and that is to Praise, Edify, to Glorify God and that is it. God owns the born again Believers and will be Saved and guaranteed Heaven. You who are living in sin has no rights to do so, because, you were not given life to be that way. Our Lives is not ours to do whatever that pleases the flesh. This Life and world belongs to God and is the resurrected Life of Jesus Christ, because He dwells in us and we are to live a Holy Life that is Pleasing to God, that is what this life is about. Those who are living unholy lives here on God’s world, is setting themselves up for a life in hell, for all eternity, by the sinful lifestyles that all of you have chosen to live. Satan is your father and his will you will do. For those who are born again, will do has their Father will do. Our Father is God Almighty. Most of the human race will be living in hell and will not Heed these Warnings, from the Word of God. Since this Life, the body that your living in, belongs to God, why destroy it? There is going to be awful consequences that you will be facing either with God or with Satan, in hell. Give God’s Breath back, give His Life back, you are only borrowing it for a short season. The soul that God gave you to live, belongs to Him and not you. We are just the renters and God is the Land Lord of all. If you destroy it by satan’s schemes, God then will have to destroy you. We Pray and hope that after this Study, that you will surrender from your selfish way of living and come back to God and give up the whole life of sin and repent to God, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, be Baptized by the Holy Ghost and get Saved. Lets get Started in the Word of God.

Hebrews 2:1-18 (KJV)
(Covenant)
1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard (actually refers to the New Testament Message of the Cross), lest at any time we should let them slip. (In the Greek Text, it carries the idea of a ring slipping from a finger. Regrettably, the Church presently has let the Message of the Cross slip and, as a result, the Church hardly knows where it’s been, where it is, or where it’s going.) 2 For if the word spoken by Angels was stedfast (actually refers to the Law of Moses, which had many Angels in attendance), and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward (sin is either addressed at the Cross, or else it is addressed in Judgment; so, each person has a choice); 3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great Salvation (if we neglect the Cross, we have destroyed ourselves); which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord (announced by Christ when He said, “repent: for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand” [Mat. 4:17]), and was confirmed unto us by them who heard Him (confirmed by healings and miracles which were witnessed by the original Twelve, plus untold numbers of others); 4 God also bearing them witness (presents the highest evidence of all, actually that which is absolutely indisputable), both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles (which began with Christ, and continued on through His Apostles), and Gifts of the Holy Spirit (has to do with those listed in I Cor. 12:8-10), according to His Own Will? (These things were the Will of God then, and are the Will of God now!)

REDEMPTION
5 For unto the Angels has He not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. (The Lord hasn’t given the Angels dominion and rulership as He has Christ.) 6 But one in a certain place testified, saying (Ps. 8:4-6), What is man, that You are mindful of him? (This delves into the reason God has given man so much notice.) or the son of man, that You visit him? (This refers to looking upon in order to help or benefit. This clearly indicates the “son of man” spoken of here is the human race and not Christ.) 7 You made him a little lower than the Angels (should have been translated, “You made him a little lower than the Godhead”; the Hebrew word translated “Angels” is “Elohim” which means “God,” and should have been translated accordingly); You crowned him with glory and honour (proclaims that which was never said of Angels), and did set him over the works of Your hands (some of that dominion is retained despite the Fall; however, as would be obvious, much has been lost; but to be sure, it has all been regained in Christ, and will ultimately be realized in Christ): 8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet. (This speaks of Adam before the Fall, but more particularly it speaks of Christ and what He did at the Cross on our behalf.) For in that He (God) put all in subjection under him (man), He (God) left nothing that is not put under him. (Once again speaks of the original Adam, but more than all speaks of the “Last Adam,” the Lord Jesus Christ.) But now we see not yet all things put under him. (Due to the Fall, we do not now see what was originally intended for man, but through Christ it will ultimately be seen.) 9 But we see Jesus, Who was made a little lower than the Angels (the Incarnation) for the suffering of death (unequivocally proclaims the fact that Jesus came to this world for one specific purpose — to die upon a Cross, which was planned even before the foundation of the world [I Pet. 1:18-20]), crowned with glory and honour (the mission was accomplished, and now Christ is exalted); that He by the Grace of God should taste death for every man. (This proclaims the fact that He needed the Grace of God to accomplish this task, because He was a man, “the Man, Christ Jesus.”) 10 For it became Him (refers to God’s Way, as it concerns the Redemption of mankind), for Whom are all things (God is the final reason for all things), and by Whom are all things (through Whose agency), in bringing many sons unto Glory (speaks of the Divine Purpose), to make the Captain of their Salvation perfect through sufferings. (This carries the idea that Christ had to suffer the Cross in order to bring about Redemption for humanity.) 11 For both He Who Sanctifies and they who are Sanctified are all of One (of Christ): for which cause He is not ashamed to call them Brethren (refers to the fact that Jesus became one of us, but only in the sense of humanity, not in the sense of sin), 12 Saying, I will declare Your Name unto My Brethren ([Ps. 22:22] meaning that Christ will declare the Name of God to all the Brethren, in effect, owning them), in the midst of the Church will I sing praise unto You. (Christ will praise God because of this great Victory, which has brought many sons into the Kingdom, all made possible by the Cross.) 13 And again (II Sam. 22:3), I will put My trust in Him. (Christ puts His Trust totally in God.) And again (Isa. 8:18), Behold I and the Children which God has given Me. (The Cross makes it possible for us to become a Child of God.) 14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood (refers to the fact that this Creation has a human, not Angelic, nature), He (Jesus) also Himself likewise took part of the same (the Incarnation, God becoming man); that through death (the Cross) He (Jesus) might destroy him (Satan) who had the power of death, that is, the Devil (the wages of sin is death, which speaks of separation from God; Jesus atoned for all sin at the Cross, thereby removing the cause of spiritual death, at least for all who will believe [Jn.3:16]); 15 And deliver them (speaks of mankind held in captivity by Satan) who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. (It has been well said that the two terrors from which none but Christ can deliver men are guilt of sin and fear of death. The latter is the offspring of the former.) 16 For verily He took not on Him the nature of Angels (Christ did not come to be the Saviour of fallen Angels; they are of another creation); but He took on Him the seed of Abraham. (This refers to His Humanity, which He became and was the manner in which Redemption would be brought about.) 17 Wherefore in all things it behoved Him to be made like unto His Brethren (refers to our Lord laying hold of the human race for the purpose of saving those who would accept Salvation by Faith), that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God (as our High Priest, He is our Representative to God, which He could be by becoming a Man and going to the Cross as well, which He did), to make reconciliation for the sins of the people (to make an atoning Sacrifice in order to regain the favor and goodwill of God on behalf of the human race). 18 For in that He Himself has suffered being tempted (in His Incarnation as the last Adam, our Lord was put to the test, and was also solicited to do evil [Mat. 4:1-11]), He is able to succour them who are tempted. (The Cross alone is the answer to temptation and sin. We overcome temptation by placing our Faith strictly in Christ and the Cross, which is the only way it can be overcome, thus giving the Holy Spirit latitude to strengthen us, as He always stands ready to do [Rom. 8:2, 11].)

Matthew 4:17 (KJV)
17 From that time (the move to Capernaum) Jesus began to preach (the major method of the proclamation of the Gospel), and to say, Repent (beginning His Ministry, the first word used by Christ, as recorded by Matthew, was “Repent”): for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand (the Kingdom from Heaven, headed up by Christ, for the purpose of reestablishing the Kingdom of God over the Earth; the Kingdom was rejected by Israel).

1 Corinthians 12:8-10 (KJV)
8 For to one is given by the Spirit (proclaims the Holy Spirit as being the One Who carries out the instructions of Christ, relative to who gets what) the Word of Wisdom (pertains to information concerning the future, whether of people, places, or things); to another the Word of Knowledge (concerns the past or the present, relative to persons, places, or things; it is to be noted that it’s “the Word of,” which means a small amount) by the same Spirit (it is the Holy Spirit Who functions in all of these Gifts); 9 To another Faith (special Faith) by the same Spirit; to another the Gifts of Healing (prayer for the sick) by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of Miracles (extraordinary things); to another Prophecy (this is for “edification, exhortation, and comfort [I Cor. 14:3]”; this has nothing to do with the Office of the Prophet); to another discerning of spirits (whether the Spirit of God, human spirits, or evil spirits); to another divers kinds of Tongues (meant to be interpreted); to another the interpretation of Tongues:

1 Corinthians 14:3 (KJV)
3 But he who Prophesies (speaks of the sixth Gift of the Spirit [I Cor. 12:8-10]) speaks unto men (the opposite of Tongues, which speaks unto God) to Edification (builds up), and Exhortation (to implore), and Comfort (consolation).

Psalms 8:4-6 (KJV)
4 What is man, that You are mindful of him? and the son of man, that You visit him? (God became man and went to Calvary in order to redeem fallen humanity. The price that was paid for that Redemption proclaims to us the worth of man, which, in fact, is God’s highest Creation.) 5 For You have made him a little lower than the Angels, and have crowned him with glory and honor (the Hebrew word “Elohim” here translated “Angels” should have been translated “God” or “Godhead,” for that’s what the word actually means; there is no place in the Old Testament where “Elohim” means “Angels”; this means that man was originally created higher than the Angels, and through Christ will be restored to that lofty position [Rom. 8:14–17]). 6 You made him to have dominion over the works of Your Hands; You have put all things under His Feet (in their fullness, these words given here are only true of the God-Man, Jesus Christ [Mat. 28:18]; Christ has been exalted to a place higher than Angels or any other being except the Father; redeemed man is to be raised up to that exalted position with Him [Eph. 2:6–7]):

Romans 8:14-17 (KJV)
DELIVERANCE
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God (the Spirit will always lead us to the Cross), they are the Sons of God (we live as Sons of God, which refers to total Victory within every respect of our lives; if the sin nature is dominating a person, he certainly isn’t living as a son of God). 15 For you have not received the spirit of bondage (to try to live after a system of works and laws will only succeed in placing one in “bondage”) again to fear (such living creates a perpetual climate of fear in the heart of such a Believer); but you have received the Spirit of Adoption (the Holy Spirit has adopted us into the Family of God), whereby we cry, Abba, Father (the Holy Spirit enables the Child of God to call God “Father,” which is done so because of Jesus Christ). 16 The Spirit itself (Himself) bears witness with our spirit (means that He is constantly speaking and witnessing certain things to us), that we are the Children of God (meaning that we are such now, and should enjoy all the privileges of such; we can do so if we will understand that all these privileges come to us from God, by the means of the Cross): 17 And if children (Children of God), then heirs (a privilege); heirs of God (the highest enrichment of all), and joint-heirs with Christ (everything that belongs to Christ belongs to us through the Cross, which was done for us); if so be that we suffer with Him (doesn’t pertain to mere suffering, but rather suffering “with Him,” referring to His Suffering at the Cross, which brought us total Victory), that we may be also glorified together (He has been glorified, and we shall be glorified; all made possible by the Cross).

Matthew 28:18 (KJV)
THE GREAT COMMISSION
18 And Jesus came and spoke unto them (the same meeting on the mountain, and constitutes the Great Commission), saying, All power is given unto Me in Heaven and in Earth (this is not given to Him as Son of God; for, as God nothing can be added to Him or taken from Him; it is rather a power, which He has merited by His Incarnation and His death at Calvary on the Cross [Phil. 2:8-10]; this authority extends not only over men, so that He governs and protects the Church, disposes human events, controls hearts and opinions; but the forces of Heaven also are at His Command; the Holy Spirit is bestowed by Him, and the Angels are in His employ as ministering to the members of His Body. When He said, “all power,” He meant, “all power!”).

Philippians 2:8-10 (KJV)
8 And being found in fashion as a man (denotes Christ in men’s eyes), He humbled Himself (He was brought low, but willingly), and became obedient unto death (does not mean He became obedient to death; He was always the Master of Death; rather, He subjected Himself to death), even the death of the Cross. (This presents the character of His Death as one of disgrace and degradation, which was necessary for men to be redeemed. This type of death alone would pay the terrible sin debt, and do so in totality.) 9 Wherefore God also has highly exalted Him (to a place of supreme Majesty; Jesus has always been Creator, but now He is Saviour as well), and given Him a Name which is above every name (actually says, “The Name,” referring to a specific Name and Title; that Name, as Verse 11 proclaims, is “Lord”): 10 That at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow (in the sphere of the Name, which refers to all it entails; all of this is a result of the Cross, the price paid there, and the Redemption consequently afforded), of things in Heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth (all Creation will render homage, whether animate or inanimate);

Ephesians 2:6-7 (KJV)
6 And has raised us up together (the Resurrection of Christ from the Tomb was our Resurrection as well, spiritually speaking, and gave us “newness of life” [Rom. 6:3-5]), and made us sit together in Heavenly Places (made possible by the Cross) in Christ Jesus (it is all done in Christ, and refers to the way He did it, which is through the Cross): 7 That in the ages to come (in the ages that are coming, one upon another, unending) He might show the exceeding riches of His Grace (presents the Believer’s golden age is always future, never past) in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. (God is able to show us kindness only through the Cross. The Bible Student must realize the Cross is the oldest Doctrine in the Bible [I Pet. 1:18-20], and is, in fact, the Foundation on which all Doctrine must be built.)

1 Peter 1:18-20 (KJV)
REDEMPTION
18 Forasmuch as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold (presents the fact that the most precious commodities [silver and gold] could not redeem fallen man), from your vain conversation (vain lifestyle) received by tradition from your fathers (speaks of original sin that is passed on from father to child at conception);

THE CROSS
19 But with the Precious Blood of Christ (presents the payment, which proclaims the poured out Life of Christ on behalf of sinners), as of a Lamb without blemish and without spot (speaks of the lambs offered as substitutes in the Old Jewish economy; the Death of Christ was not an execution or assassination, but rather a Sacrifice; the Offering of Himself presented a Perfect Sacrifice, for He was Perfect in every respect [Ex. 12:5]): 20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world (refers to the fact that God, in His Omniscience, knew He would create man, man would fall, and man would be redeemed by Christ going to the Cross; this was all done before the Universe was created; this means the Cross of Christ is the Foundation Doctrine of all Doctrine, referring to the fact that all Doctrine must be built upon that Foundation, or else it is specious), but was manifest in these last times for you (refers to the invisible God Who, in the Person of the Son, was made visible to human eyesight by assuming a human body and human limitations),

Exodus 12:5 (KJV)
5 Your lamb shall be without blemish (Christ was without blemish, Who the lamb represented, “holy, harmless, undefiled” — a “lamb without spot” [I Pet. 1:19]), a male of the first year (meant to portray the virile manhood of Christ; in other words, He didn’t die in the throes of old age, but rather in the prime of manhood): you shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats (the “goats” then represented were different from our goats presently; then they were very similar to the sheep, actually, with their long flowing mane, even more beautiful than the sheep):

Psalms 22:22 (KJV)
22 I will declare Your name unto My brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise You. (Verses 1 through 21 present to us the sufferings of the Messiah, while Verses 22 through 31 present to us the Exaltation and Glory of the Messiah. We are to declare His Name all over the world, and praise Him for what He has done in redeeming man.)

2 Samuel 22:3 (KJV)
3 The God of my rock; in Him will I trust: He is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; You save me from violence (“Rock” suggests an immovable might; it is often used for God’s Glory as being the Strength and Protection of His People; the “shield,” of course, is for defense, while the “horn” is for attack; the “high tower” signifies a place of refuge, which saves the blessed one from the violence of his enemies).

Isaiah 8:18 (KJV)
18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of Hosts, Who dwells in Mount Zion. (The phrase, “from the LORD of Hosts, Who dwells in Mount Zion,” means that God had not left Zion. The Shechinah still rested between the Cherubim and the Holy of Holies. While this is so, God is still with His People — “Immanuel.” Sadly, Judah took little advantage of the Glory and Grace that were in their midst.)

John 3:16 (KJV)
16 For God so loved the world (presents the God kind of love), that He gave His Only Begotten Son (gave Him up to the Cross, for that’s what it took to redeem humanity), that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have Everlasting Life.

Matthew 4:1-11 (KJV)
THE TEMPTATION OF JESUS IN THE WILDERNESS
1 Then (immediately after the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Him) was Jesus led up (urgently led) of the Spirit (Holy Spirit) into the wilderness (probably close to Jericho) to be tempted of the Devil (as the Last Adam, He would be tempted in all points like as we are [Heb.4:15; I Cor. 15:21-22, 45, 47]). 2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He was afterward hungry (other than Christ, three men in the Bible fasted forty days and forty nights: Moses [Deut. 9:9, 18, 25; 10:10], Joshua [Ex. 24:13-18; 32:15-17], and Elijah [I Ki. 19:7-8]). 3 And when the tempter (Satan) came to Him, he said, If You be the Son of God (since You are the Son of God), command that these stones be made bread (Christ was tempted to use His Power for His Own benefit, which He was to never do). 4 But He answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds out of the Mouth of God ([Deut. 8:3]; man is a spiritual being as well as a physical being; therefore, dependent on God). 5 Then the Devil took Him up (a powerful force) into the Holy City (Jerusalem), and set Him on a pinnacle of the Temple (its highest point, which Josephus stated, was about 700 feet from the ravine below), 6 And said unto Him, If You be the Son of God (since You are the Son of God), cast Yourself down (literally spoken): for it is written, He shall give His Angels charge concerning You: and in their hands they shall bear You up, lest at any time You dash Your foot against a stone (derived from Psalms 91:11-12). 7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, you shall not tempt the Lord your God ([Deut. 6:16]; to tempt God is to question His Word, which casts doubt on His ability to do what He has promised). 8 Again (the third temptation), the Devil took Him up into an exceeding high mountain (not definitely known, but probably Nebo), and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them (showed them to Him, not in a physical sense, but rather in a spiritual sense); 9 And said unto Him, All these things will I give You, if You will fall down and worship me (the temptation was that Christ abrogate the Cross, through which He would regain all things). 10 Then said Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan (presents Christ for the first time Personally addressing Satan): for it is written, you shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve (Satan desires that mankind worship and serve him; we are to worship and serve the Lord Alone). 11 Then the Devil left Him (“departed from Him for a season,” meaning that there would be other temptations [Lk. 4:13]), and, behold, Angels came and ministered unto Him (in what manner they ministered, we aren’t told).

1 Corinthians 15:21-22,45,47 (KJV)
21 For since by man came death (refers to Adam and the Fall in the Garden of Eden, and speaks of spiritual death, separation from God), by Man came also the Resurrection of the dead. (This refers to the Lord Jesus Christ Who Atoned for all sin, thereby, making it possible for man to be united once again with God, which guarantees the Resurrection.) 22 For as in Adam all die (spiritual death, separation from God), even so in Christ shall all be made alive. (In the first man, all died. In the Second Man, all shall be made alive, at least all who will believe [Jn.3:16].)

NECESSITY
45 And so it is written (Gen. 2:7), The first man Adam was made a living soul (the natural body); the last Adam (Christ) was made a quickening Spirit. (The word “last” is used. No other will ever be needed. “Quickening” refers to making all alive who trust Him.) 47 The first man (Adam) is of the earth, earthy (materialistic): the Second Man (Christ) is the Lord from Heaven (a vast difference between the “first man” and the “Second Man”).

Genesis 2:7 (KJV)
7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground (proclaims the physical body made of clay), and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life (the “breath of life,” which comes from God, pertains to the soul and spirit of man; this was done with the first man, Adam, God breathing the soul and the spirit into man, and thereafter it comes automatically at conception); and man became a living soul (man is a soul, has a spirit, both which reside in the physical body; the soul addresses the body; the spirit addresses God; the physical body addresses the world).

Romans 8:2, 11 (KJV)
2 For the Law (that which we are about to give is a Law of God, devised by the Godhead in eternity past [I Pet. 1:18-20]; this Law, in fact, is “God’s Prescribed Order of Victory”) of the Spirit (Holy Spirit, i.e., “the way the Spirit works”) of Life (all life comes from Christ, but through the Holy Spirit [Jn. 16:13-14]) in Christ Jesus (any time Paul uses this term or one of its derivatives, he is, without fail, referring to what Christ did at the Cross, which makes this “life” possible) has made me free (given me total Victory) from the Law of Sin and Death (these are the two most powerful Laws in the Universe; the “Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus” alone is stronger than the “Law of Sin and Death”; this means that if the Believer attempts to live for God by any manner other than Faith in Christ and the Cross, he is doomed to failure).  11 But if the Spirit (Holy Spirit) of Him (from God) Who raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you (and He definitely does), He Who raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies (give us power in our mortal bodies that we might live a victorious life) by His Spirit Who dwells in you (we have the same Power in us, through the Spirit, that raised Christ from the dead, and is available to us only on the premise of the Cross and our Faith in that Sacrifice).

Deuteronomy 9:9, 18, 25 (KJV)
9 When I was gone up into the Mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the Covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the Mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:
18 And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which you sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger.
25 Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said He would destroy you.

Deuteronomy 10:10 (KJV)
10 And I stayed in the Mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also, and the LORD would not destroy you.

Exodus 24:13-18 (KJV)
13 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the Mount of God. (Evidently, Moses was instructed by the Lord to take Joshua with him. It is doubtful that Joshua was able to go into the very Presence of God as did Moses; nevertheless, he at least went part way, and evidently stayed the entirety of the time, because we find him coming down with Moses, when, some forty days later, Moses descended from the mountain [32:17].) 14 And he (Moses) said unto the Elders (70 men), Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any matters to do, let him come unto them (the latter two were left in charge). 15 And Moses went up into the Mount, and a Cloud covered the Mount. (Evidently, Moses stopped when he arrived at the Cloud.) 16 And the Glory of the LORD abode upon Mount Sinai, and the Cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day He called unto Moses out of the midst of the Cloud. (Moses evidently waited until the Lord called him.) 17 And the sight of the Glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the Mount in the eyes of the Children of Israel. (It looked like the entirety of the top of the Mountain was on fire, with this being seen by all of the Children of Israel.) 18 And Moses went into the midst of the Cloud (Joshua stayed at the edge of the Cloud, and did not go further), and got him up into the Mount: and Moses was in the Mount forty days and forty nights (without food or water; so the Lord had to miraculously sustain him).

Exodus 32:15-17 (KJV)
MOSES
15 And Moses turned, and went down from the Mount, and the two Tables of the Testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written (the Ten Commandments, written by the “Finger of God” [31:18]). 16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables. (The Law began with the Judgment of God, even as all Law must begin with the Judgment of God.) 17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. (It seems that Joshua has waited for Moses for the entirety of the 40 days and 40 nights. He did so about halfway down the mountain. He will now accompany Moses to the base of the Mountain.)

1 Kings 19:7-8 (KJV)
7 And the Angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for you. (This was a journey not ordained of God. In fact, it would be a round-trip of approximately 500 miles, all of it out of the Will of God. And yet, in this wayward journey, the Lord would never leave Elijah’s side. How many wayward trips have all of us taken? And yet the Lord never leaves us nor forsakes us. The fact is: every journey of fear is too great for us. The reason is: our energy is from the flesh and not the Spirit.)

ELIJAH GOES TO HOREB
8 And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the Mount of God. (Horeb was about 180 miles from where he had sat under a “juniper tree.” Evidently, the food prepared for him by the Angel was supernatural, and provided a supernatural strength.)

Deuteronomy 8:3 (KJV)
3 And He humbled you, and suffered you to hunger, and fed you with Manna, which you knew not, neither did your fathers know; that He might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the Mouth of the LORD does man live. (These very words were uttered by Christ to Satan regarding the temptation in the wilderness [Mat. 4:4]. Every “Word” in the Bible is important. We must as well understand that the Bible is the Word of God, which means that it doesn’t merely contain the Word of God.)

Psalms 91:11-12 (KJV)
11 For He shall give His Angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. (This shows how much Satan knows the Bible, but yet he still thinks he can circumvent the Word of God. Angels did constantly help Christ [Mat. 4:11; Lk. 4:10–11]. However, Satan corrupted the Scripture by omitting “in all your ways,” and inserting in its place “at any time.” The Messiah’s path through the desert of the Wilderness was one of dependence upon God. Satan’s effort in the temptation was to move Him to independence, but he failed. Christ walked a path of perfect submission, obedience, and dependence; likewise, all those who walk after Him in like dependence and faith can be assured of His Victory.) 12 They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone. (Satan attempted to get Christ to commit the sin of presumption, which means to twist the Word of God in order that it mean something that God did not intend.)

Luke 4:10-11 (KJV)
10 For it is written, He shall give His Angels charge over You, to keep You (a misquote from Psalms 91:11-12; the correct quotation is, “to keep you in all Your ways,” which refers to the “Ways of God”; protection is guaranteed under those circumstances, but not as Satan said): 11 And in their hands they shall bear You up, lest at any time You dash Your foot against a stone (Satan again misquoted the Text by adding the words “at any time,” which changes the meaning altogether; this tells us that Satan knows the Word very well, and to his own advantage subtly changes it to make it say something it originally did not say; as well, if one is to notice, Satan didn’t quote the Thirteenth Verse in the 91 st Psalm, for it predicts his destruction by the Lord Jesus Christ).

Message on JUDGING, FROM THE WORD OF GOD

by Zach, From The King James Expositoir Study Bible
The Word Do not Judge in the Bible, is talking about Judging the Heart and Mostives. Lets get started by the reading from the Word of God.
Matthew 7:1-5 1 Judge not, that you be not judged (this statement by Christ harks back to Verses 25 through 34 of the previous Chapter; the idea is, God may permit poverty to test His Child, but fellow Believers are not to err, as Job’s friends did, and believe the trial to be a judgment for secret sin; as well, the word, “judging,” as used here, covers every aspect of dealing with our fellowman). 2 For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged (whatever motive we ascribe to others, such motive will ultimately be ascribed to us): and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again (a double emphasis is given here in order to proclaim the seriousness of the Words of our Lord; when we judge others, we are judging ourselves). 3 And why do you behold the mote that is in your brother’s eye (the Believer is not to be looking for fault or wrongdoing in the lives of fellow Believers), but consider not the beam that is in your own eye? (We have plenty in our own lives which need eliminating, without looking for faults in others. The “mote” and “beam” are contrasted! The constant judging of others portrays the fact that we are much worse off than the one we are judging.) 4 Or how will you say to your brother, Let me pull out the mote out of your eye (the seriousness of setting ourselves up as judge, jury, and executioner); and, behold, a beam is in your own eye? (Once again draws attention to the fact that the person doing the judging is in far worse spiritual condition than the one being judged.) 5 You hypocrite (aptly describes such a person), first cast out the beam out of your own eye; and then you shall see clearly to cast out the mote out of your brother’s eye (the very fact that we do not address ourselves, but rather others, portrays the truth that our personal situation is worse; when we properly analyze ourselves, then, and only then, can we “see clearly”; this is speaking of character assassination and not the correction of doctrine).
Luke 6:37 Judge not (do not judge one’s motives), and you shall not be judged (implying that you will be judged by the Lord, if you do not obey this admonition): condemn not (do not pass 37 Jsentence), and you shall not be condemned (meaning conversely, that if you pass sentence on others, the Lord will ultimately pass sentence on you): forgive, and you shall be forgiven (implying that if you do not forgive, God will not forgive you, which puts a person in a terrible dilemma):
James 4:11-12 11 Speak not evil one of another, Brethren (refers to self-appointed Judges [Mat. 7:1-5]). He who speaks evil of his Brother, and judges his Brother, speaks evil of the Law, and judges the Law (pertains to the Law of Moses, to which James is pointing; when a Believer judges another, he has taken himself out from under Grace and placed himself under Law, where he will only find condemnation): but if you judge the Law, you are not a doer of the Law, but a Judge. (In other words, such a person has placed himself in the position of God.) 12 There is one Lawgiver, Who is able to save and to destroy (presents God as the only One Who can fill this position): who are you who judges another? (The Greek actually says, “but you — who are you?” In other words, “who do you think you are?”)
Mathew 7:15-20 FALSE PROPHETS AND DECEPTIONS 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves (“beware of false prophets” is said in the sternest of measures! there will be and are false prophets, and are some of Satan’s greatest weapons). 16 You shall know them by their fruits (this is the test as given by Christ as it regards identification of false prophets and false apostles). Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? (It is impossible for false doctrine, generated by false prophets, to bring forth good fruit.) 17 Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit (the good fruit is Christlikeness, while the evil fruit is self-likeness). 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit (the “good tree” is the Cross, while the “corrupt tree” pertains to all of that which is other than the Cross). 19 Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire (Judgment will ultimately come on all so-called gospel, other than the Cross [Rom. 1:18]). 20 Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them (the acid test). Romans 1:18 18 For the Wrath of God (God’s Personal Emotion with regard to sin) is revealed from Heaven (this anger originates with God) against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men (God must unalterably be opposed to sin), who hold the truth in unrighteousness (who refuse to recognize Who God is, and what God is);
Everytime I speak about what the Word of Gos says about sin, this world is so quick to assume that I am Judging wrongly, which I am not. There are two different types of Judging which, one we are to do and the other, we are not to do. Fruit, fruit is talking about the falsly activities that one may take part in, talking with a fowl language, taking part in drinking (any type of alcohol and smoking poisons that is in the World, murdering, stealing, false doctrine and whatever else that is not of God. That is what bad fruit is, and we have every right to Judge it, because it is sinful. If God spoke it, I then have every right to Preach it. The reason why so many people get upset about this, is because they are suffering in their foolishness of their sins that is from and of Satan. They are fighting against God and trying to justify their sins and want to keep their heads safly buried in the sand, meaning they are afraid of the Truth and don’t want to hear the truth, beacuse it hurts them. I Just had a friend on facebook that deleted or blocked me as their friend, because they were offened by the Word of God and that shows God that, this individual is a friend of the world, knowm as a friend of Satan. I do forgive this person for their misconduct, but I do pray that this person will research the Bible, about what God had me to share with others and find out the Truth. Not everyone is going to believe what you may be saying, or what they may hear from others. I do take what I may hear and see if it matches up with the Word of God, to see if whatever it is that I am hearing, is Biblical or not. I don’t believe everything I read or hear, I believe it if it lines up with the Word of God. That is rightous Judgment that we are suppose to make. We are to Judge Bad Fruit. What about the persons heart and motives? That is one Judgment that we are not to make. We do not know what is in a person’s heart or what their motives are for doing and saying what they may say or thinking. If you Judge a persons heart and motives, you then are taking yourselves out of the hands of God, taking yourselves out of God’s Grace and placing yourselves in the ten commandments, which makes you God and the Judge, because that is all what the ten commandments does, it shows peoples sins, and do not bring forth, Salvation. The law of Moses is good to look at has a module to follow, but no one can keep the ten commandments. If you break just one of the old Law? You then will be hell bound, because their is no Salvation in it and no Heaven. There is alot of Spiritually Blinded souls out in the world and can’t seem to recognize false doctrine when they hear it. There are so many false Bibles out there in the world. Which ones are they? Easy, the Niv, which I call the Hiv book. Its missing over 600 book, chapters, scriptures and it makes God out, to be a liar, it changes the diety of Jesus Christ. The New King James is no better, the Nlt, Nit, Esv, the Amplified, and whatever else that is not a King James Bible, is sin. The reason why these so called Bibles is a sin to read and follow, is because it chnages then True Word of God and brings in lies that belongs to Satan. The very first Bible that was printed for us to read, was the Geneva Bible, which is from the original manual transcripts. When people couldn’t read or even understand it, they then reprinted it all in English and called it, the King James. The King James is very easy to read, it actually is at a fourth or fifth grade reading level, while the perverted so called Bibles are at a higher reading grade level. So many people are so blinded by Satan and its not even funny. That is why these so called Christians like to argue, get mad and run from the Truth, because they don’t want to hear the Truth. They are rejecting God by doing that. If you wish to follow and live by the Law of Moses, you then will not be Saved. Living by God’s Grace, is what saves. There is a promise that was maid by God, to the reBorn again Christians.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world (presents the God kind of love), that He gave His Only Begotten Son (gave Him up to the Cross, for that’s what it took to redeem humanity), that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have Everlasting Life.
I have more scriptures that I am going to share in a moment but, I want to talk a little about this promise of God, for a moment. God loves everyone one of you and does not want to see anyone end in hell, for all eternity. He wants you to be with Him in Heaven and the only way for you not to be in Heaven, is for you to keep living a hell bound, rebellous life of sin. That’s why He is calling you to repentace and wants you to come to the Cross of Christ and repent. The part of the reason for the Death of Jesus christ is for, to cover all of your sins, with His Blood. That goes for past, present and future sins. That does not mean God is giving you a licence to continue in living in sin, He wants you to turn away from sin, so you can be Saved. You need to have a change of heart, mind, soul and spirit, to a Godly Spirit, which will produce a Godly Living and a Godly Life. That is the desire of God, for every soul here on this earth. Once you are born again in and through Jesus Christ, you are garanteed a Holy Life in Heaven. The only way to lose your place in Heaven, is if you turn away from God and continue to live a rebellous lifestyle, of any kind. Christians who are Biblicall Saved, will be in Heaven, at the end of their time here on this earth. Lets continue with more scriptures, from the Word of God.
John 3:17-21 17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world (means that the object of Christ’s Mission was to save, but the issue to those who reject Him must and can only be condemnation); but that the world through Him might be saved (Jesus Christ is the only Salvation for the world; there is no other! as well, He is Salvation only through the Cross; consequently, the Cross must ever be the object of our Faith). 18 He who believes on Him is not condemned (is not condemned to be eternally lost in the Lake of Fire forever and forever [Rev. 20:11-15]): but he who believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the Name of the Only Begotten Son of God (all of this refers to Christ and what He did at the Cross in order to redeem humanity; Salvation is never by works, but rather by Grace through Faith, with the Cross ever the Object of that Faith). 19 And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world (refers to Jesus as the “Light;” there is no other!), and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil (proclaims the fact that the great penalty of sin is sinful desire; the love of darkness is the consequence of man’s wicked ways; the rejection of Jesus Christ is not the occasion of man’s lostness, but rather the result of it). 20 For every one who does evil hates the Light (presents a striking rebuke to Nicodemus with a keen thrust of the sharp sword, saying to him that evil-doers choose the darkness, so why did this Pharisee come by night?), neither cometh to the Light, lest his deeds should be reproved (to truly come to Jesus means the Revelation and condemnation of every evil way, which is totally unlike the religions of the world which reveal nothing; the “Light” automatically reveals what is hidden by the darkness). 21 But he who does truth comes to the Light (the desire for truth must be placed in the heart of man by the Holy Spirit, by the means of the revealed Word of God; if the person sincerely wants to “do truth,” he must come to Christ, for Christ is the only “Light”), that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God (proclaims the great change that takes place in the Believing sinner’s life upon coming to Christ; the evil deeds are forever gone, with righteous deeds taking their place). Revealation 20:11-15 GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT 11 And I saw a Great White Throne (proclaims the final Judgment of the unredeemed, which will take place at the end of the Kingdom Age), and Him Who sat on it (proclaims none other than God; however, we must understand that it is the Person of the Godhead, the Lord Jesus Christ [Mat. 25:31]; He is the Saviour today; He will be the Judge tomorrow), from Whose face the Earth and the Heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. (This means a New Heaven and New Earth are in the offing.) 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God (pertains to the second Resurrection, the Resurrection of Damnation [I Cor., Chpt. 15; I Thess. 4:13-18; Jn. 5:29]); and theBooks were opened: and another Book was opened, which is the Book of Life: and the dead were Judged out of those things which were written in the Books, according to their works (proclaims the manner of Judgment). 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and Hell delivered up the dead which were in them (points to the fact that every unredeemed person who has ever lived will face the Great White Throne Judgment; none will be exempted): and they were Judged every man according to their works (records the fact that this Judgment is not arbitrary, but is based on absolute Justice). 14 And death and Hell were cast into the Lake of Fire (combined, includes the wicked of all ages). This is the second death (Eternal separation from God and the Lake of Fire). 15 And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life (refers to the record of all the unredeemed) was cast into the Lake of Fire. (This includes every single individual who isn’t Redeemed, beginning with Adam and Eve. That is, if they didn’t come back to God.) Matthew 25:31 When the Son of Man shall come in His glory, and all the Holy Angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the Throne of His glory (the Second Coming): Please read 1 Corinthians 15 on your own, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 John 5:29 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, Brethren, concerning them which are asleep (refers to Believers who have died), that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. (This concerns those who do not know the Lord who will have no part in the First Resurrection of Life and, therefore, no hope for Heaven.) 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again (the very Foundation of Christianity is the Death and Resurrection of Christ; it is the proof of life after death in a glorified state for all Saints in that life, which incidentally will never end), even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. (This refers to the Rapture of the Church, or the Resurrection of all Believers, with both phrases meaning the same thing, even as Paul describes in I Cor., Chpt. 15. At death, the soul and the spirit of the Child of God instantly go to be with Jesus [Phil. 1:23], while the physical body goes back to dust. At the Rapture, God will replace what was the physical body with a Glorified Body, united with the soul and the spirit. In fact, the soul and the spirit of each individual will accompany the Lord down close to this Earth to be united with a Glorified Body, which will then make the Believer whole.) 15 For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord (presents the Doctrine of the Rapture of the Church as the “Word of the Lord”), that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord (all Believers who are alive at the Rapture) shall not prevent them which are asleep. (This refers to the fact that the living Saints will not precede or go before the dead Saints.) 16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout (refers to “the same Jesus” which the Angels proclaimed in Acts 1:11), with the voice of the Archangel (refers to Michael, the only one referred to as such [Jude, Vs. 9]), and with the Trump of God (doesn’t exactly say God will personally blow this Trumpet, but that it definitely does belong to Him, whoever does signal the blast): and the dead in Christ shall rise first (the criteria for being ready for the Rapture is to be “in Christ,” which means that all who are truly Born-Again will definitely go in the Rapture): 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up (Raptured) together with them (the Resurrected dead) in the clouds (clouds of Saints, not clouds as we normally think of such), to meet the Lord in the air (the Greek word for “air” is “aer,” and refers to the lower atmosphere, or from about 6,000 feet down; so, the Lord will come at least within 6,000 feet of the Earth, perhaps even lower, with all the Saints meeting Him there; but He, at that time, will not come all the way to the Earth, that awaiting the Second Coming, which will be seven or more years later): and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (This presents the greatest meeting humanity will have ever known.) 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. (This pertains to the future of the Child of God, which is Glorious indeed!) Resurrections as we shall see, and according to His “Voice”); they who have done good, unto the Resurrection of Life (pertains to the First Resurrection, or as commonly referred, “The Rapture” [I Thess. 4:13-18]); and they who have done evil, unto the Resurrection of Damnation (this last Resurrection will take place approximately a thousand years after the First Resurrection of Life [Dan. 12:2; Rev., Chpt. 20]). Please 1 Corinthians 15 on your own, Phil. 1:23 23 For I am in a strait betwixt two (refers to equal pressure being exerted from both sides; he is speaking here of his personal desires, and not necessarily that which the Lord would desire; however, he has already made it clear his personal will is to be swallowed up in the sweet Will of God), having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better (the centerpiece of all of this is Christ; if one draws any other conclusions, one misses the point entirely): Jude 12:22 And many of them who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to Everlasting Life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. (There are two Resurrections pointed to in this Verse. These are separated by a long period of a thousand years [Rev. 20:3, 5-6; Jn. 5:28]. Those who will be resurrected to “Everlasting Life” speak of the First Resurrection, which pertains to every Believer who has ever lived from the time of Abel forward. This is when the Church, so to speak, will be raptured [I Thess. 4:13-18]. The Second Resurrection, which is the Resurrection of Damnation, will take place at approximately a thousand years after the First Resurrection, actually at the end of the Millennium. It will include all the wicked who have died from the very beginning. This will be the time of the Great White Throne Judgment [Rev. 20:4-6, 11-15].)
Here, you can see that there is plenty of Scriptures to back up, with what I have been sharing and posting about the Word of God, that no one who is living in sin, by false doctrine and rejecting the Jesus Christ and the Cross, will not be Saved. You must be ReBorn Again. That is done by Believing in Jesus Christ, the Cross and Him Crucified. You can’t believe false doctrine of men, meaning the way of the world and of Satan. I believe in my heart that with the additional Scriptures, has summed up about Judging. May God be with your souls.
