BIBLE PHRASE.....CUT OFF FROM THE PEOPLE ???

BEING  CUT  OFF  FROM  THE  PEOPLE......???

BIBLE  COMMENTARIES  SAY:


For whoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

EXPOSITORY (ENGLISH BIBLE)
(29) For whosoever shall commit.—This clause, according to the interpretation which obtained during the second Temple, particularises every individual, and is intended to indicate that any one, whether it be male or female, who is guilty, will incur the punishment prescribed for these sins.Shall be cut off.—That is, in case the transgression escapes the ken of the tribunal, God himself will inflict the punishment upon the criminals, since some of the crimes specified in this chapter are, according to Leviticus 20, to be visited with death by the hand of man.

Leviticus 18:29Cut off — This phrase therefore, of cutting off, is to be understood variously, either of ecclesiastical or civil punishment, according to the differing natures of the offences for which it was inflicted.
18:1-30 Unlawful marriages and fleshly lusts. - Here is a law against all conformity to the corrupt usages of the heathen. Also laws against incest, against brutal lusts, and barbarous idolatries; and the enforcement of these laws from the ruin of the Canaanites. God here gives moral precepts. Close and constant adherence to God's ordinances is the most effectual preservative from gross sin. The grace of God only will secure us; that grace is to be expected only in the use of the means of grace. Nor does He ever leave any to their hearts' lusts, till they have left him and his services.
The land designed and consecrated for His people by Yahweh Leviticus 25:23 is here impersonated, and represented as vomiting forth its present inhabitants, in consequence of their indulgence in the abominations that have been mentioned. The iniquity of the Canaanites was now full. See Genesis 15:16; compare Isaiah 24:1-6. The Israelites in this place, and throughout the chapter, are exhorted to a pure and holy life, on the ground that Yahweh, the Holy One, is their God and that they are His people. Compare Leviticus 19:2. It is upon this high sanction that they are peremptorily forbidden to defile themselves with the pollutions of the pagan. The only punishment here pronounced upon individual transgressors is, that they shall "bear their iniquity" and be "cut off from among their people." We must understand this latter phrase as expressing an "ipso facto" excommunication or outlawry, the divine Law pronouncing on the offender an immediate forfeiture of the privileges which belonged to him as one of the people in covenant with Yahweh. See Exodus 31:14 note. The course which the Law here takes seems to be first to appeal to the conscience of the individual man on the ground of his relation to Yahweh, and then Leviticus 20 to enact such penalties as the order of the state required, and as represented the collective conscience of the nation put into operation. 
29. the souls that commit them shall be cut off—This strong denunciatory language is applied to all the crimes specified in the chapter without distinction: to incest as truly as to bestiality, and to the eleven cases of affinity [Le 18:7-16], as fully as to the six of consanguinity [Le 18:17-20]. Death is the punishment sternly denounced against all of them. No language could be more explicit or universal; none could more strongly indicate intense loathing and abhorrence.
To wit, by death to be inflicted by the magistrates, as it is apparent in case of idolatry with Moloch or other false gods; and in case of the magistrates neglect, by God himself. This phrase therefore of cutting off is to be understood variously, as many other phrases are, either of ecclesiastical, or civil and corporal punishment, according to the differing natures of the offences for which it is inflicted. 
For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations,.... Before particularly forbid, any of them, be it which it will, they all being very heinous and vile, and especially these last mentioned: even the souls that commit them; whether male or female, as Jarchi observes; for the above things concern them both for the most part, however some one, and some another; and though most, if not all the said crimes are committed by the members of the body, yet since under the influence and direction of the soul, the commission of them is attributed to that, and the punishment threatened respects both:
shall be cut off from among the people; be removed from their church state, and deprived of ecclesiastical privileges, and from their civil state, and reckoned no more of the commonwealth of Israel; and if known and convicted, to be punished by the civil magistrate, and if not, by the immediate hand of God. 
For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall {p} be cut off from among their people.(p) Either by the civil sword or by some plague that God will send upon such.

THIS  PHRASE  COVERS  MANY  PROHIBITIONS;  IF  IT ALWAYS  MEANT  BEING  PUT  TO  DEATH,  THEN  SIMPLE  WORDS  WOULD  HAVE  SEEN  USED,  SUCH  "SHALL  SURELY  BE  PUT  TO  DEATH."

SO  AS  MANY  COMMENTARIES  ABOVE  SHOW,  THERE  COULD  HAVE  BEEN  A  "CUTTING  OFF"  OF  VARIOUS  TYPES,  FROM  DEATH,  DEPENDING  ON  THE  CRIME,  TO  SOCIAL  RELIGIOUS  CUT  OFF,  TO PENALTIES  HANDED  DOWN  BY  THE  JUDGES  ON  THE  SERIOUSNESS  OF  THE OFFENCE,  AND  IT  COULD  BE  GOD  WOULD  CUT  THEM  OFF  IN  HIS  WAY,  AT  HIS  TIME,  WITH  HOW  HE  CHOSE,  TO  DO  THE  CUTTING  OFF.

SHUTTING DOWN THE WORLD!!!

HERE  IT  IS  DECEMBER  25  2017

HERE  I  AM  IN  CALGARY,  ALBERTA,  CANADA

THIS  CITY  OF  1.4  MILLION  PEOPLE

AND  JUST  ABOUT  EVERYTHING  COMMERCIAL  IS

CLOSED!

THIS  RUSH-RUSH-BUSY-BUSY  COMMERCIAL  WORLD

CLOSED  DOWN!

THEY  HAVE  PRETTY  CLEARLY  SHOWN  IT  CAN  BE  DONE!

SO  MY  QUESTION  IS  FOR  CHRISTIANS,  FOR  THE  CHRISTIAN  WORLD:  WHY  HAVE  MOST  OF  YOU  CHOSEN  TO  NOT  OBSERVE  THE  4TH  OF  THE  10  COMMANDMENTS?

IT  IS  THE  LONGEST  COMMANDMENT  IN  THE  NUMBER  OF  WORDS,  IN  THE  10  COMMANDMENTS  FOUND  IN  EXODUS  20.

IF  THE  WORLD,  WHEN  IT  WANTS  TO,  CAN  CLOSE  UP  SHOP,  SHUT  DOWN,  NOT  OPERATE...... THEN  CHRISTIANS  CAN  STILL  OBSERVE  THE  SABBATH  DAY,  IF  THEY  REALLY  WANT  TO.

BUT  MOST  CHRISTIANS  HAVE  BEEN  LULLED  TO  SLEEP  ON  THIS  4TH  COMMANDMENT,  BY,  AS  SHOCKING  AS  IT  SOUNDS,  BY  THE  RELIGIOUS  LEADERS  THEY  FOLLOW.

THOSE  RELIGIOUS  LEADERS  HAVE  TAUGHT  YOU  BY  MISAPPLYING   VERSES,  READING  INTO  VERSES  THINGS  NOT  THERE,  AND  PERVERTING  A  FEW  OTHERS  THEY  TELL  YOU  "ABOLISHES"  THE  4TH  GREAT  COMMANDMENT  OF  THE  TEN.

CHRISTIANS  MEET  ON  THE  1ST  DAY  OF  THE  WEEK  FOR  "CONVENIENCE  SAKE," AND  FROM  LONG  STANDING  "TRADITIONS" - BOTH  UTTERLY  FALSE!

IT'S  TIME  FOR  YOU,  IF  A  CHRISTIAN,  TO  BE  CHALLENGED  INTO  DOING  SOME  DEEP,  VERY  DEEP  STUDY  AND  MEDITATION  ON  GOD'S  GREAT  SABBATH  COMMANDMENT......

THIS  COMMANDMENT  HAS  NOT  BEEN  ABOLISHED  UNDER  THE  NEW  TESTAMENT!

TWO  THINGS  WERE  MIGHTY  IMPORTANT  TO  THE  JEWS  -  CIRCUMCISION  AND  THE  SABBATH.

THE  NEW  TESTAMENT  CHURCH  CALLED  FOR  A  SYNOD  IN  JERUSALEM  TO  ASCERTAIN  THE  TRUTH  OF  PHYSICAL  CIRCUMCISION  UNDER  THE  NEW  COVENANT  -  YOU  FIND  IT  IN  ACTS  15.

THE  OBSERVANCE  OF  THE  WEEKLY  SABBATH  WAS  NEVER  CALLED  INTO  QUESTION.....

THERE  WAS  NEVER  A  SYNOD  TO  DISCUSS  IF  THE  WEEKLY  SABBATH  WAS  STILL  BINDING,  OR  IF  IT  HAD  BEEN  CHANGED  TO  SUNDAY  THE  1ST  DAY  OF  THE  WEEK!

IF  EITHER  A  CHANGE  OR  ABOLISHMENT  WAS  TRUE  THERE  WOULD  HAVE  BEEN  A  SYNOD  TO  WRITE  IT  IN  STONE,  BY  THE  JEWISH  CHRISTIANS.  THERE  NEVER  WAS!

IF  YOU  ARE  A  CHRISTIAN  YOU  NEED  TO  HAVE  THE  COURAGE  TO  GO  TO  MY  WEBSITE,  AND  STUDY  THE  "SABBATH  QUESTION."

LATEST INFO ON HEART DESEASE

What You Really Need to Know About Heart Disease and Its Treatment


    By Dr. Mercola
    Heart disease is one of the most common chronic health problems in the United States, and we're wasting tens of billions of dollars on ineffective treatments and surgical procedures. In this interview, Dr. Thomas Cowan, a practicing physician and founding board member of the Weston A. Price Foundation, shares recently published data1,2 showing the ineffectiveness of stents — a commonly performed surgical procedure used to remediate damage from coronary artery disease.

    Stents Were Never Indicated for Anything but Angina Relief

    There are a number of parameters that are crucial for evaluating the efficacy of a treatment for heart disease. For instance, will the patient actually live longer as a result of that intervention? Mortality is one parameter of assessment. Another parameter is the risk of heart attack as a result of the intervention. Alleviation of angina (chest pain) is a third. “There's probably more, but those are the three big ones,” Cowan says
    Earlier research had already dismissed the use of percutaneous interventions (PCI) for most of these parameters, showing the use of stents had no impact on long-term rates of death, nonfatal myocardial infarctions (MI) or hospitalization rates for acute coronary syndrome. The sole indication for the use of stents was angina, as some of the findings showed it helped reduce prevalence of chest pain.
    “What [that] means is the state of the literature, before this current Lancet study, was that doing stents or other interventions … has never been shown to help people live longer or to prevent further heart attacks. They have been shown to be of aid in people who are having an acute MI, but in anything but that indication, the state of the science was that they don't help people live longer, and they don't prevent further heart attacks. 
    As this study says, the indication was for relieving angina … It was actually not appropriate, and possibly even not allowed, to tell somebody we were doing a bypass or stent so that you would live longer or not have a heart attack. You could tell them that you could do it because you're having chest pain, and this will relieve your chest pain,” Cowan notes.

    Do Stents Actually Relieve Angina?

    Interestingly, there had never been a double-blind study assessing whether, in fact, stent placement relieves angina. The reason for this lack of data was because doing such a study was considered unethical. In a nutshell, it was assumed that stents were beneficial, and therefore denying patients of this benefit would place them at risk. 
    Eventually, though, a group of interventional cardiologists in England got approval from the review board to perform a comparative study in which half the patients with stable angina received a stent, while the other half received sham surgery. The sham surgery consisted of inserting and removing a catheter in the artery without actually placing a stent. The level of chest pain and exercise tolerance was then assessed and compared between the two groups.
    Lo and behold, there was no difference in chest pain (angina) between the treatment group and the sham group. This means that the one and only indication for doing a stent, which is to relieve angina, is also invalid. “It's hard to come up with what the indication is at this point, except in the rare instance of an acute MI,” Cowan says. 

    Blocked Arteries Are but One Symptom of a Diffuse Systemic Disease

    The ultimate tragedy here, aside from the exorbitant cost, is that patients continue receiving this useless intervention even though there are several simple strategies that are known to be effective, are far less expensive, and pose no risk to the patient.
    “The Atlantic … [had] one of the most … provocative, quotes I've ever heard from a standard cardiologist,” Cowan says. “This was from Dr. Mandrola ... [H]er quote … summarizes exactly what we're talking about … [Q]uote: ‘This study will begin to change the mindset of cardiologists and patients that focal blockages need to be fixed.’ 
    Focal blockages are these blocked arteries that they put the stents in. Quote: ‘Instead, these findings help doctors and patients understand that coronary artery disease is a diffuse systemic disease. A focal blockage is just one manifestation of a larger disease’ …
    Now, the thing that was so shocking to me about that is... this is literally the first time I've ever heard a cardiologist admit that there is a diffuse focal disease here, of which blocked arteries is only one of the manifestations. That is such a heretical position. I've never heard a cardiologist say that. They say, ‘You have blocked arteries. That's your problem. We're going to unblock your arteries.’
    To suggest that what they have is a systemic disease changes everything. I can't emphasize that enough. This is not a blocked artery disease. A blocked artery may or may not be significant symptom in this disease. The question that I would ask every listener [to pose to their cardiologist is] … ‘I wonder what diffuse systemic disease this [blocked artery] is a manifestation of?’
    I mean, that's the question. ‘I've heard there's a cardiologist who's saying that this blocked artery is only one manifestation,’ which then, of course, is a perfect explanation for why stents don't work. [Blocked arteries are] not the disease. They're just one of the symptoms of the disease. ‘If that's the case, then what's my disease?’ I would be very interested to hear the answer.”

    High Cholesterol Does Not Cause Heart Attacks 

    As noted by Cowan, many cardiologists would probably answer that question saying the underlying problem is high cholesterol. Alas, the evidence does not support this position either. “I actually looked up four papers, [one] in JAMA, three in The Lancet, showing that life expectancy tends to increase as cholesterol goes up, and that there is no relationship between high cholesterol and death,” Cowan says. 
    Many other studies have also come to this conclusion. In short, the “diffuse systemic disease” behind blocked arteries is NOT high cholesterol. So, what is? The answer to this question is detailed in Cowan’s book, “Human Heart, Cosmic Heart,” which we reviewed in an earlier interview. The book explores and tries to answer the question of why people have heart attacks if it’s not blocked arteries. 
    In his 2004 book, “The Etiopathogenesis of Coronary Heart Disease,”3 the late Dr. Giorgio Baroldi wrote that the largest study done on heart attack incidence revealed only 41 percent of people who have a heart attack actually have a blocked artery, and of those, 50 percent of the blockages occur after the heart attack, not prior to it. This means at least 80 percent of heart attacks are not associated with blocked arteries at all. So, what’s really the cause of a heart attack? Cowan explains:
    “It's obviously complex, and there's a number of manifestations, but the three most important things that I point out in my book is, No. 1 ... at least 90 percent of people who have a heart attack have an autonomic nervous system imbalance. Specifically, they have a suppressed parasympathetic nervous system tone, which is caused by a number of things, including chronic stress, poor sleep, high blood pressure, diabetes, i.e. a high-sugar, low-fat type of diet [and] smoking …  
    Conventional cardiologists are certainly aware of the role of the autonomic nervous system, which is why standard cardiology care includes beta blockers, which block the sympathetic nervous system, but again, the actual research on this does not show chronic high sympathetic activity. It shows chronic low parasympathetic activity. I would admit they're similar, but they're not the same. 
    What's dangerous to people's health is chronic stress, chronic sleep deprivation, high carbohydrate diet, low mitochondrial function. All the things that you talk about in your book [‘Fat for Fuel’] that leads to low sympathetic tone. Then, in the face of a sympathetic stressor, you have a heart attack. It's not the same to say it's a sympathetic overactivity, which is why I think we could do a lot better than blocking the sympathetic nervous system.”

    The Riddle’s Solution

    The second reason for heart attacks, Cowan explains, is lack of microcirculation to the heart. To understand how the blood flows to and through your heart, check out the Riddle’s Solution section on heartattacknew.com’s FAQ page.4 There, you’ll find detailed images of what the actual blood flow looks like. Contrary to popular belief, blood flow is not restricted to just two, three or four coronary arteries (opinions differ on the actual number). 
    Rather, you have a multitude of smaller blood vessels, capillaries, feeding blood into your heart, and if one or more of your main arteries get blocked, your body will automatically sprout new blood vessels to make up for the reduced flow. In other words, your body performs its own bypass. According to Cowan, your body is “perfectly capable of bringing the blood to whatever area of the heart it needs, and as long as your capillary network is intact, you will be protected from having a heart attack.”
    Naturally, this raises the question of what might cause an individual to not have a robust network of capillaries. Not surprisingly, the same factors that cause low sympathetic tone also lead to loss of microcirculation. For example, smoking has a corrosive effect on microcirculation, not just in your extremities but also your heart. A high-sugar, low-fat diet, prediabetes and diabetes, and chronic inflammation also reduce microcirculation.
    “We know that overt diabetes actually corrodes and destroys your microcirculation, your capillary network,” Cowan says. “That's a predominant reason. We have millions of people living on high-carbohydrate diets, low-fat diets, which has an inflammatory effect on their microcirculation. There are other reasons, too, but those are probably the big ones.”
    Naturally, one of the most effective ways to encourage and improve microcirculation is physical movement, so chronic inactivity will also deteriorate your body’s ability to maintain healthy microcirculation. “Again, conventional cardiology is aware of this issue. That's why they use Plavix and aspirin, to keep the microcirculation intact,” Cowan notes.

    The Role of Mitochondria in Heart Attacks 

    Another area of concern is your mitochondria. Unfortunately, this is an area that conventional cardiology is still largely unfamiliar with. In essence, angina is a symptom of poor mitochondrial function, causing a buildup of lactic acid that triggers cramps and pain. When this pain and cramping occurs in your heart, it’s called angina. The lactic acid buildup also restricts blood flow and makes the tissue more toxic. 
    When a cramp occurs in your leg, you stop moving it, which allows some of the lactic acid to drain off. But your heart cannot stop, so the glycolytic fermentation continues, and the lactic acid continues to build up, eventually interfering with the ability of calcium to get into the muscle. This in turn renders the muscle — in this case your heart — unable to contract, which is exactly what you see on a stress echo or a nuclear thallium scan. 
    “You see a dyskinetic or an akinetic muscle, which means it doesn't move, because the calcium can't get into the cells because the tissue has become too acidic,” Cowan explains. “Eventually, the acidosis continues, and that becomes the cause of necrosis of the tissue, which is what we call a heart attack … 
    By the way … [the] dyskinetic area … the part of the heart that's not moving, creates pressure … in the artery embedded in that part of the heart, which causes clots to break off. That explains why you get clots forming after the heart attack, not before. This lactic acidosis buildup is one of the key events, without which you won't have angina, and you won't have the progression to necrosis. 
    Those are the three [primary causes of heart attacks]: The autonomic nervous system, the microcirculation and lactic acid buildup. Luckily, there are safe, nontoxic, effective ways to address each of those, either individually or together.”

    Enhanced External Counterpulsation — A Noninvasive Treatment Alternative 

    One highly effective and noninvasive treatment option that will help improve microcirculation to your heart — which, again, is a common factor responsible for heart attacks — is enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP). It’s a Medicare insurance-approved therapy, and studies show EECP alone can relieve about 80 percent of angina. 
    As explained earlier, the reason you don’t experience a heart attack due to blockage is because you’re protected by collateral circulation. However, if you have diabetes or chronic inflammation, that will eventually deteriorate your capillaries, reducing this built-in protection. EECP works by inflating compression cuffs on your thighs and calves that are synchronized with your EKG. 
    When your heart is in diastole (relaxed), the balloons inflate, forcing blood toward your heart, thereby forcing the growth of new capillaries. It’s a really powerful and safe alternative to coronary bypass surgery for most people. Rather than bypassing one or two large arteries, you create thousands of new capillary beds that supply even more blood than the bypassed vessels. As noted by Cowan:
    “New blood vessels mean more blood flow, and the blockage becomes irrelevant. This has been shown to be curative, meaning it will stop people with angina for at least five to seven years with one course of treatment … sometimes longer. It's Medicare approved. 
    It's paid for by insurance. It's been studied in the literature. Again, at least 80 percent effective for getting rid of patients' angina, which, by the way, was the last [indication] for stents, which is now no longer [a valid indication].” 
    The sessions are about one hour long, and most patients will need about 35 sessions to receive benefit. Aside from angina, it’s also effective for heart failure and diastolic dysfunction. Many elite athletes also use it as an aid to maintain cardiac fitness when they are injured and unable to actively exercise, as EECP basically works as a passive form of exercise. To find a provider, visit EECP.com.5
    Interestingly, EECP also appears to have hormonal benefits. There are studies showing it results in decreased insulin resistance. Many patients also tend to lose weight, and experience improved blood sugar control. There’s cause to believe these beneficial side effects are related to the fact that it mimics exercise.
    I was so intrigued with EECP’s benefits that I actually purchased one. They aren’t cheap; the traditional ones are close to $50,000, but I found a bright young entrepreneur, Louis Manera, who was well connected in the EECP community and is actually in the process of providing great new units at a significant discount. If you are a clinician, or even a patient with heart disease, this is something you might want to consider.

    Other Commonsense Prevention Strategies

    As noted by Cowan: Heart disease is “a diffuse systemic disease, and every person who goes to a cardiologist, I think, has the … right to know what this diffuse systemic disease is that’s being treated … I have my three-step opinion about what's going on ... The problem is I've never heard any cogent explanation in standard cardiology of what diffuse systemic disease they think they're treating, besides high cholesterol, which turns out to be a red herring … People with higher cholesterol live longer, so that's not the problem.”
    To summarize, three of the core, underlying issues at play that cause heart attacks are:
    1. Decreased parasympathetic tone followed by sympathetic nervous system activation 
    2. Collateral circulation failure (lack of microcirculation to the heart) 
    3. Lactic acid buildup in the heart muscle due to impaired mitochondrial function
    So, what can you do to prevent and treat these heart attack triggers? Here’s a quick summary of some of Cowan’s suggestions:
    Eat a whole food-based diet low in net carbs and high in healthy fats, and add in beet juice (or fermented beet powder) to help normalize your blood pressure. Fresh arugula or fermented arugula powder is another option 
    Get plenty of non-exercise movement each day; walk more and incorporate higher intensity exercise as your health allows
    Intermittently fast. Once you’ve progressed to the point of fasting for 20 hours each day for a month, consider doing a four- or five-day water fast several times a year
    If you have heart disease, look into EECP, and consider taking g-strophanthin, an adrenal hormone that helps create more parasympathetic nervous system neurotransmitters, thereby supporting your parasympathetic nervous system. It also helps flush out lactic acid. Strophanthus is the name of the plant, the active ingredient of which is called g-strophanthin in Europe, and ouabain in the United States 
    Ground to the earth by walking barefoot on the ground 
    Get sensible sun exposure to optimize your vitamin D status and/or take an oral vitamin D3 supplement with vitamin K2
    Implement heart-based wellness practices such as connecting with loved ones and practicing gratitude 

    More Information

    For more detailed recommendations, pick up a copy of Cowan’s book, “Human Heart, Cosmic Heart.” You can also find more details on Cowan’s website, FourfoldHealing.com. His book also covers how your heart actually functions, revealing why the idea that your heart acts as a pump is all wrong. It actually operates as a vortex creating machine.6 We also discussed this in a previous interview
    “On my Human Heart, Cosmic Heart website, there are articles [explaining why] the heart is not a pump, including an article by Branko Furst, an anesthesiologist in upstate New York. He wrote a book called ‘The Heart and Circulation: An Integrative Model.’ 
    His book was endorsed by the head of cardiac anesthesiology at Harvard Medical School, who said … ‘Furst is right. There's no way the heart is a pump, and thinking the heart is a pump is the same as believing in Newtonian physics. It's an outdated concept.’”

    MARY  WAS  WITHOUT  QUESTION   DEVOTED  RELIGIOUS  YOUNG  LADY,  AND  WAS  NO  DOUBT  WELL  AND  PROPERLY  EDUCATED  IN  HER  UPBRINGING  TO  BE  THE  BEST  MOTHER  SHE  COULD  BE,  HUMANLY  SPEAKING.  SO  INDEED  AS  IT  IS  WRITTEN  "...FOR  YOU  HAVE  FOUND  FAVOR  WITH  GOD...." [LUKE 1:30].  OH  WHAT  FAVOR  INDEED!

    THE  ANGEL  WENT  ON  TO  TELL  MARY,  "HE  WILL  BE  GREAT,  AND  WILL  BE  CALLED  THE  SON  OF  THE  HIGHEST;  AND  THE  LORD  GOD  WILL  GIVE  UNTO  HIM  THE  THRONE  OF  HIS  FATHER  DAVID;  AND  HE  SHALL  REIGN  OVER  THE  HOUSE  OF  JACOB [13  TRIBES  OF  ISRAEL]  FOREVER,  AND  OF  HIS  KINGDOM  THERE  WILL  BE  NO  END" [LUKE  1:32-33].

    IF  THE  FIRST  PART  LITERALLY  HAPPENED...BEING  BORN...BEING  CALLED  THE  SON  OF  THE  HIGHEST,  THEN  THE  REST  OF  THE  PROPHECY  WILL  ALSO  COME  TO  PASS  LITERALLY.  WHICH  MEANS  THE  GREAT  THRONE  OF  DAVID  IS  STILL  ON  THIS  EARTH,  FOR  JESUS  WILL  ONE  DAY  INHERIT  THAT  THRONE.  YOU  DO  NOT  INHERIT  SOMETHING  THAT  DOES  NOT  EXIST.  YES  DAVID'S  THRONE  IS  STILL  ON  EARTH,  AS  PROVED  IN  OTHER  STUDIES  ON  MY  WEBSITE.

    THE  TERNAL  GOD  HAD   PLAN  FROM  WAY  W AY  BACK,  EVEN  BEFORE  THE  FOUNDATIONS  OF  THIS  EARTH  WAS  LAYED!

    GOD  WAS  GOING  TO  CREATE  PHYSICAL  HUMAN  BEINGS  IN  HIS  IMAGE;  BASIC  FORM  AND  SHAPE;  BASIC  MIND  TO  THINK  AND  REASON;  TO  DECIDE  TO  DO  GOOD  OR  EVIL;  TO  DECIDE  TO  FOLLOW  GOD'S  WAY  OF  LIFE,  OR  NOT  TO  FOLLOW  IT   FREE  AGENCY!

    THE  ONE  WE  NOW  CALL  THE  FATHER  ALSO  KNEW  AHEAD  OF  TIME,  THAT  HUMAN  KIND  WOULD  SIN,  WOULD  THINK,  SPEAK,  AND  ACT,  CONTRARILY  TO  THE  WILL  AND  WAY  OF  THE  ETERNAL  GOD.  AND  THEY  SURELY  DID  AS  WE  READ  IN  THE  FIRST  CHAPTERS  OF  GENESIS;  PAUL  ALSO  SAYING  IN  THE  BOOK  OF  ROMANS  THAT,  ALL  HAVE  SINNED  AND  COME  SHORT  OF  THE  GLORY  OF  GOD!

    EVERY  SINGLE  PERSON  LIVING  TO  THE  AGE  OF  ACCOUNTABILITY [SEE  DEUT. 1:39] AND BEYOND,  HAS  SINNED!  ONLY  THE  CHRIST  HAS  NEVER  EVER  SINNED,  NOT  EVEN  ONE  SIN!

    GOD  HAD  DECIDED  BEFORE  THE  FOUNDATIONS  OF  THE  EARTH  THAT  SIN  WOULD  MEAN  DEATH   ETERNAL  DEATH   ROMANS 6: 23!

    THE  FATHER  HAD  PREDETERMINED  THAT  DOING  ALL  KINDS  OF  "GOOD  WORKS"   "CHARITABLE  ARMS  GIVING"   PRAYING  10  TIMES   DAY,  FASTING  ONCE  OR  TWICE   WEEK,  PRACTICING  TEMPLE  RITUALS,  SACRIFICING  ANIMALS, SPILLING  THEIR  BLOOD,  WOULD  NEVER  SAVE   SINGLE  SOUL.  YOU  COULD  DO  ALL  THAT  AND  PRACTICE  IT  ALL  AS   WAY  OF  LIFE,  BUT  IT  WOULD  NOT  SAVE  ONE  SINGLE  PERSON!

    THE  ETERNAL  FATHER  HAD  DECIDED  BEFORE  THE  FOUNDATION  OF  THE  EARTH,  THAT  SINS  WOULD  AND  COULD  ONLY  BE  WASHED  AWAY,  THROUGH  THE  SHED  BLOOD  OF   GOD  BEING    MEMBER  OF  THE  VERY  GODHEAD;  NO  CREATED  ANGEL  OF  ANY  RANK  COULD  DO  IT;   GOD  BEING  WOULD  HAVE  TO  BE  WILLING  TO  COME  TO  EARTH  AS   HUMAN  DIVINE  PERSON.

    THIS  PERSON  WOULD  BE  GOD  IN  THE  FLESH.  HE  WOULD  BE  BOTH  DIVINE  AND  HUMAN!

    YES,  THE  GOD  BEING,  WHO  WAS  THE  SECOND  MEMBER  OF  THE  GODHEAD WHO WOULD  BE  WILLING  TO  COME,  STEP  TO  ONE  SIDE  FROM  HIS  BEING  GOD  IN  THE  GODHEAD,  AND  COME  TO  BE  GOD  IN  THE  FLESH.

    THIS  BEING  WE  TODAY  CALL  JESUS  THE  CHRIST.

    IT  WAS  DECIDED  BEFORE  THE  FOUNDATIONS  OF  THE  EARTH....HERE  IT  IS:

    "FORASMUCH  AS  YOU  KNOW  YOU  WERE  NOT  REDEEMED  WITH  CORRUPTIBLE  THINGS,  AS  SILVER  OR  GOLD......BUT  WITH  THE  PRECIOUS  BLOOD  OF  CHRIST,  AS   LAMB  WITHOUT  BLEMISH  AND  WITHOUT  SPOT.  WHO  TRULY  WAS  FOREORDAINED  BEFORE  THE  FOUNDATION  OF  THE  WORLD,  BUT  WAS  MANIFEST  IN  THESE  LAST  TIMES  FOR  YOU! [1 PETER 1:18-20].

    SO  NOW,  DID  PEOPLE  SHED  THE  BLOOD  OF  ANIMALS  BEFORE  JESUS  CAME  TO  SHED  HIS?  YES  THEY  DID!  DID  THAT  SAVE  THEM?  NOPE  IT  DID  NOT!  DID  DOING  THOSE  SACRIFICES  BEFORE  CHRIST  CAME,  SOMEHOW  DISHONOR
    THE  SACRIFICE  OF  CHRIST  THAT  WAS   SURE  SET,  WRITTEN  IN  STONE,  EVENT  YET  TO  COME?  OF  COURSE  NOT!  FOR  GOD  EVEN  HAD  MOSES  INSTITUTE   WHOLE  SYSTEM  OF  TEMPLE  ANIMAL  SACRIFICES  UNDER  AN  OLD  COVENANT  WITH  ISRAEL.

    THE  BLOOD  SPILT  IN  ANIMAL  SACRIFICES  SURE  GOT  ONE  THING  THROUGH  TO  ANCIENT  ISRAEL [AT  TIMES  IT  SEEMED  NOTHING  GOT  THROUGH  TO  THEM]   IT  WOULD  TAKE  THE  SPILLING  OF  BLOOD  FROM   MEMBER  OF  THE  GODHEAD,  TO  WASH  AWAY  SINS.  THERE  WAS   REMEMBRANCE  OF  SINS  IN  THOSE  PHYSICAL  SACRIFICES....A  TEACHING   LESSON;  AND  THE  LESSON  WAS….THAT  THE  BLOOD  OF  ANIMALS  CAN  NOT  POSSIBLY  TAKE  AWAY  SINS [HEW. 10: 3, 4].

    IT  WAS  ALWAYS,  FROM  BEFORE  THE  FOUNDATION  OF  THE  EARTH,  SINS  COULD  ONLY  BE  WASHED  AWAY,  FOR  YOU  TO  HAVE  THEM  NO  LONGER  ON  YOUR  ACCOUNT  RECORD,  BY  THE  GOD  BEING  COMING  AS  GOD  IN  THE  FLESH,  AND  SHEDDING  HIS  OWN  BLOOD  AND  LIFE..... TAKING  OUR  PENALTY  OF  SINS,  UPON  HIS  OWN  LIFE,  SHEDDING  HIS  BLOOD  TO  DEATH;  THEN  DYING.....DEAD  AS  DEAD  COULD  BE  FOR   DAYS  AND   NIGHTS.

    YES,   GOD-HEAD  BEING  LITERALLY  DID  NOT  EXIST  FOR  72  HOURS!

    THINK  ON  THAT!   GOD  BEING  WILLING  TO  NOT  EXIST  FOR   DAYS  AND   NIGHTS;  HAVING  TO  HAVE  COMPLETE  FAITH  THAT  THE  GOD  BEING  WE  TODAY  CALL  “FATHER”  WOULD  RAISE  HIM  BACK  TO  LIFE…. BUT  IMMORTAL  LIFE,  AND  GIVE  HIM  BACK  ALL  THAT  HE  WAS  AND  HAD  BEFORE  COMING  AS   HUMAN-DIVINE  PERSON.

    WE  ARE  TOLD  THE  GOD-BEING  OF  THE  GODHEAD  WAS  WILLING  TO  SET  ASIDE  WHAT  HE  HAD  WITH  THE  FATHER,  NOT  GRASPING  ON  TO  IT,  AND  JUST  NEVER  BEING  WILLING  TO  LET  IT  GO  FROM  HIM.  WE  READ:

    “WHO,  ALTHOUGH  BEING  ESSENTIALLY  ONE  WITH  GOD  AND  IN  THE  FORM  OF  GOD [POSSESSING  THE  FULNESS  OF  THE  ATTRIBUTES  WHICH  MAKE  GOD  GOD],  DID  NOT  THINK  THIS  EQUALITY  WITH  GOD  WAS   THING  TO  BE  EAGERLY  GRASPED  OR  RETAINED.  BUT  STRIPPED  HIMSELF [OF  ALL  PRIVILEGES  AND  RIGHTFUL  DIGNITY],  SO  AS  TO  ASSUME  THE  GUISE  OF   SERVANT [SLAVE],  IN  THAT  HE  BECAME  LIKE  MEN  AND  WAS  BORN   HUMAN  BEING.  AND  AFTER  HE  HAD  APPEARED  IN  HUMAN  FORM,  HE  ABASED  AND  HUMBLED  HIMSELF [STILL  FURTHER]  AND  CARRIED  HIS  OBEDIENCE  TO  THE  EXTREME  OF  DEATH,  EVEN  THE  DEATH  OF  THE  CROSS!”  [PHILIPPIANS 2: 6-8 - AMPLIFIED  BIBLE].  

    ARE  YOU  FULLY  UNDERSTANDING  ALL  THIS  YOU  ARE  READING?

     GOD  BEING  WAS  WILLING  TO  STEP  AWAY  FROM   THE  VERY  GODHEAD;  ONE  SECOND  THERE  IN  FULL  GLORY,  THE  NEXT  SECOND  NOT  THERE  IN  HEAVEN  WITH  THE  FATHER.  AS  THE  FATHER  GOD  TOOK  ALL  THAT  THERE  WAS  IN  THE  OTHER  GOD  BEING  OF  THE  GODHEAD,  AND  IN  SOME  MIRACULOUS  WAY,  PUT  ALL  THAT  THAT  BEING  WAS  INTO   TINY  SPERM;  PUT  THAT  GOD  BEING  SPERM  WITH  THE  POWER  OF  HIS  HOLY  SPIRIT,  INTO  THE  BODY  OF  THIS  YOUNG  MAIDEN  CALLED  MARY;  UNITED  THAT  DIVINE  SPERM  WITH  HER  HUMAN  EGG……  AND  YOU  HAD   DIVINE-HUMAN  BABY  ON  ITS  WAY  TO  BEING  BORN,  IN   LOWLY  MANGER  IN  SOME  LOWLY  CATTLE  BARN,  IN   LOWLY  LITTLE  TOWN  CALLED  BETHLEHEM  NEAR  JERUSALEM.  WHO  WOULD  THEN  GROW  TO  BE  THE  MAN  CALLED  JESUS  CHRIST   EMMANUEL   GOD  WITH  US!

    TRULY  THE  GREATEST  BIRTH  THAT  EVER  WAS  IN  THE  UNIVERSE!

    ONLY  THE  LIFE  AND  DEATH  OF   SINLESS  GOD-HUMAN,  HIS  BLOOD  SHED,  COULD  HAVE  THE  POWER  TO  TAKE  EVERY  SIN  EVER  COMMITTED  BY  ALL  HUMANS  THAT  EVER  EXISTED,  AND  WITH  THAT  BLOOD  WASH  ALL  THOSE  SINS  AWAY!

    IT’S  KINDA  LIKE  YOU  PUT  ALL  THE  SINS  OF  EVERY  SINGLE  PERSON  WHO  EVER  EXISTED  AND  WILL  EXIST,  ONTO  THE  ALTAR  IN  THE  TEMPLE,  IN  HEAVEN,  THEN  TOOK  THE  SACRIFICIAL  BLOOD  OF  CHRIST  JESUS,  POURED  IT  ON  TOP  OF  ALL  THOSE  HEAPED  UP  SINS,  AND  SEE  THE  BLOOD  WASH  AWAY  THOSE  SINS  AND  BE  LEFT  WITH   PURE  HEAVENLY  ALTAR!

    THE  POINT  OF  HUMAN  HISTORY,  THE  FOCAL  POINT,  IS  THE  SACRIFICE  OF  THE  DIVINE-HUMAN  MAN,  THE  VERY  SON  OF  GOD   HIS  DEATH  ON  THE  CALVARY  CROSS  FOR  THE  SINS  OF  THE  WORLD!

    THOSE  HUMANS  BEFORE  THE  CROSS,  LOOKED  IN  FAITH  TO  THE  YET  COMING  CROSS,  TO  THE  YET  TO  COME  DEATH  OF  GOD,  SHEDDING  HIS  BLOOD  FOR  THEIR  SINS.
    THOSE  HUMANS  AFTER  THE  CROSS,  LOOK  BACK  IN  FAITH  TO  THE  DEATH  OF  GOD,  SHEDDING  HIS  BLOOD  ON  THE  CROSS  FOR  THEIR  SINS.

    SALVATION,  BEING  SAVED  INTO  GLORIFIED  ETERNAL  LIFE,  HAS  ALWAYS  BEEN  ONE  WAY,  FROM  THE  BEGINNING,  NAY  FROM  BEFORE  THE  BEGINNING,  IT  WAS  DETERMINED  SALVATION  FOR  ANY  HUMAN  WOULD  ONLY  BE  THROUGH  ONE  WAY……  JESUS  THE  CHRIST,  THROUGH   MEMBER  OF  THE  VERY  GODHEAD.  FOR  IT  IS  WRITTEN:

    “NEITHER  IS  THERE  SALVATION  IN  ANY  OTHER;  FOR  THERE  IS  NONE  OTHER  NAME  UNDER  HEAVEN  GIVEN  AMONG  MEN  WHEREBY  WE  MUST  BE  SAVED” [ACT 4: 12]. 

    SO  FOR  ALL  HUMANS  IT  WAS  DECIDED  BEFORE  THE  FOUNDATION  OF  THE  EARTH,  THAT  SALVATION  FOR  HUMANS  WOULD  BE……  “FOR  BY  GRACE  ARE  YOU  SAVED,  THROUGH  FAITH,  AND  NOT  OF  YOURSELVES….” [EPHESIANS 2: 8].

    NO  WONDER  THEN  THAT  AT  THE  COMING  OF  GOD  IN  THE  FLESH, THE  COMING  OF   BABE  WRAPPED  IN  SWADDLING  CLOTHES  LYING  IN   MANGER,  THERE  WOULD  BE  “….SHEPHERDS  ABIDING  IN  THE  FIELD,  KEEPING  WATCH  OVER  THEIR  FLOCK  BY  NIGHT.  AND  LO,  AN  ANGEL  OF  THE  LORD  CAME  UPON  THEM,  AND  THE  GLORY  OF  THE  LORD  SHON  ROUND  ABOUT  THEM,  AND  THEY  WERE  SORE  AFRAID.  AND  THE  ANGEL  SAID  UNTO  THEM,  FEAR  NOT,  FOR,  BEHOLD   BRING  YOU  GOOD  TIDINGS  OF  GREAT  JOY,  WHICH  SHALL  BE  TO  ALL  PEOPLE.  FOR  UNTO  YOU  IS  BORN  THIS  DAY  IN  THE  CITY  OF  DAVID   SAVIOR,  WHICH  IS  CHRIST  THE  LORD.  AND  THIS  SHALL  BE   SIGN  UNTO  YOU:  YOU  SHALL  FIND  THE  BABE  WRAPPED  IN  SWADDLING  CLOTHES,  LYING  IN   MANGER.  AND  SUDDENLY  THERE  WAS  WITH  THE  ANGEL   MULTITUDE  OF  THE  HEAVENLY  HOST,  PRAISING  GOD,  AND  SAYING:  GLORY  TO  GOD  IN  THE  HIGHEST,  AND  ON  EARTH  PEASE,  GOOD  WILL  TOWARDS  MEN” [LUKE  1: 8-14].

    FOR  THOSE  WHO  WILL  ACCEPT  JESUS  AS  PERSONAL  SAVIOR,  THERE  IS  PEACE  OF  HEART  AND  MIND;  IT  IS  THE  BEST  GOOD  WILL  GOD  CAN  GIVE  TO  ANYONE  OF  THE  HUMAN  RACE.

     PRAY  YOU  WILL  FIND  THIS  PEACE  AND  THIS  WONDERFUL  GOOD  WILL,  THAT  THE  ETERNAL  FATHER  GOD  IN  HEAVEN  WANTS  YOU  TO  HAVE;  FOR  EVEN  BEFORE  THE  FOUNDATION  OF  THE  EARTH,  HIS  SALVATION  PLAN  FOR  MANKIND,  WAS  FOR  YOU  TO  HAVE  HIS  GOOD  WILL  AND  BE  IN  HIS  FAMILY  KINGDOM.

    NOW  IT’S  TIME  FOR  YOU  TO  READ  AND  STUDY  MY  STUDY  CALLED  “SAVED  BY  GRACE”   THAT  EXPOUNDS  FOR  YOU  WHAT  GOD’S  WORD  SAYS  ABOUT  HOW  TO  BE  SAVED  BY  GRACE  THROUGH  FAITH.
