One HAS to go back to a "PREVIOUS Slice of eternity!" Where the "Lamb that was slain FROM the FOUNDATION of "the World?" (Meaning
THIS CURRENT "SLICE of ETERNITY")
I shall strive in answering each question like this:
Genesis 1:
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Now we all know the earth is much MUCH older than the so "assumed and declared" age of some 6,000 years! Implying Eternity is has been around much MUCH longer than 6,000 er so years!
Genesis 1:
2 And the earth
BECAME without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Indicative that this Earth
"suffered" from an
"Event/JUDGEMENT" that was in a
PRIOR "slice of Eternity"
BEFORE this "slice" we are currently in!
Jeremiah 4:
22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
(a HUMONGOUS "TECTONIC SHIFT!" Probably when dinosaurs dies off)
25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. (NOT EVEN NOAH, NOR HIS FAMILY!)
26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger.
(this is more relevant concerning "Greek Mythology", than dinosaurs. Which indicates yet another "slice of eternity" even PRIOR to Greek Mythology!)
27 For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land shall be desolate;
YET, I will not make a FULL end. (HENCE? This CURRENT "slice of ETERNITY!"
Again! Indicative CONCERNING a "JUDGEMENT Pronounced and APPLIED to this earth, or planet" PRIOR to this CURRENT "slice of ETERNITY!"
2 Peter 3:
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that
by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: (Prior to this "slice of ETERNITY)
(This CURRENT "slice of ETERNITY)
7
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the SAME word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
Question:
"What are these spiritual sacrifices?"
Answer:
I "could" tell you what or which "spiritual sacrifice" "I" made!
But I can assure you it won't be the same in what or how many are required for, or by ANYONE else!
But when GOD is satisfied with 'em?
"Trust me!"
HE'LL "RING YOUR AGAPEO TELEPHONE OFF THE HOOK!" UNTIL?...........YOU ANSWER!
Or?.......CALAMITY UPON CALAMITY will follow you around all your days!
Until, or UNLESS you LOOK up in the Heavens and ask?:
"How the heck did I end up in THIS mess?!" (
HINT) Look at the line just below "Trust me!"
Question:
"I understand the order of Melchizedek, but what has it to do with all this?"
Answer:
Contrary to popular "practices and beliefs?"
Being, or becoming a Priest, or candidate
OF this
"FOREVER PRIESTHOOD?"
The road TO the "Strait and Narrow" gate DOESN'T END at the time, or point of conversion "FORWARDS to ETERNITY?" As there ARE "dots to be connected" that takes one BACK to PRIOR "slices of eternity!" As I've shown here.
Which MAKES for a much MORE FULLER PICTURE, than what is, and has been taught! Which also "includes" the "Key of David" which gives a more "in depth UNDERSTANDING!"
Question:
"No one has the complete picture but what are these dots?"
Answer:
They are my poor interpretation of explaining everything I've responded to in answering yours, or anyone else's queries.
Ya see? I
HAD started out in doing "mail in college courses" I purchased from M.B.I. (Moody Bible Institute) in a further educating of myself! That is?
UNTIL?....
.An UNSEEN Hand grabbed me by the short hairs on the back of my neck. And said:
"You've been doing things YOUR way!"....."TOO LONG!"
"NOW?"....."YOU'RE GONNA DO THINGS "MY WAY!" (He KNOWS how to gain one's ATTENTION!.....KNOWS which buttons to push too!)
Furthermore?
"Do you want THEM to "teach you?"
"Or ME!"
This occurred some 40+ years ago! You might even consider it a "CRAM COURSE" in "Higher Spiritual Perfecting!"
I COULD tell ya what all was involved! But, as I stated before?
a) Everyone's different? aka "different STROKES for DIFFERENT folks!" (
and so on and so on and scooby dooby doooobie!....BOOO......SHA SHA!
"WE GOTTA LIVE TOGETHER!"
"I......I...uh I,I.....am everyday people!")
b) You wouldn't believe me if I DID tell ya!
And?
c)....Has
EVERYTHING to do with the
WAR between
"Sons of Light" verses "sons of darkness!"
Which incidentally? Ya won't find in "canonized" scripture!
YET?.......It's OUT there!
But I would like a shot at all your 'takes' on the 8 verses you've presented to GH. But not, all of them, in one post. I have different problems with different 'people and verses', just like you have been having. 
In this post I need to first elaborate as to how I also have a problem with when/how theologians capitalize words like
