The spiritual realm of the kingdom of God. We enter into that heavenly realm whereby it is Christ living through us....and we walking where He is...in Zion. That is the spiritual rest. No longer by our efforts... But this is not an easy place to enter.....the door is narrow as well as the way...

How are we healed initially by His stripes? We are healed by a substitutionary taking on of a punishment due to us. We receive the love that this means as something that heals us. So we are healed by His love taking our place. But there is a deeper level to those stripes. It is about a deeper...

The context of the life in a life statement in Deut. 19 is that of people not understanding that Jesus is living in a person....and is treated as if this were false. Paul says...the MORE I love the less I am loved. This is the inversion that takes place according to the deeper level of...

Now, here is the kicker... The second reference to "a life for a life" is found in Deut. 19 Deut. 19:21 Your eye shall not pity: life shall be for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. Sound the same??? But it is not the same at all in Hebrew. כא וְלֹא תָחוֹס...

Now just an aside to explain why life and soul are synonymous....and when speaking of life in the singular sense it is rendered as soul. This is due to the fact that in Hebrew, the word for "life" is plural for we humans. We were created to live on 2 levels from the very beginning...having...

So here is the first mention of the law of redemption.....a life for a life. Now we know we have been redeemed through Jesus giving His life for us. This satisfies the first level of redemption....a life for a life. It is a balanced and righteous standard that while not precluding God's ability...

OK....so this is going to be difficult for some people here. Since this isn't taught in sunday school this will not be understood or accepted so easily. :) But to those who love the truth and want to go deeper than sunday school...here is a thread that will take you deeper (by faith of course)...

I have a final scriptural challenge to post on this thread. When the author of Hebrews gives examples of faith, he uses the case of Enoch who was translated to God because he pleased the Lord. Heb. 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God...

The Hebrew says....Al-tsad te-amanah.....which means ...until they side with your faith. (or your faithfulness) I don't see where they get borne on the side... So I read it like this....Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: they all are gathered together, and come to thee; Your sons come...

Is. 28:16 So this is what the Lord GOD says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; the one who believes will never be shaken. i Pet. 2:5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering...

There is never a guarantee of a salvation status. We are under grace not the law. There is no law that provides any guarantees. We are all at the mercy of God's judgments. There is no law above God that ties His hands. Of course Christianity today has sunk to the status of a mere human...

You really must read the entire bible and not just the selected verses that back up a religious indoctrination. Gal. 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. Think about that...

That's the idea.... :)

Jesus says that we bear fruit as we BOTH abide in Him AND He in us. We need to go after both. Only then will we have the right attitude. Only then will we be able to understand what is the depth of Jesus Christ. You can get to know a person as they visit you where you are. But how much better...

Thank you for the encouragement. I often decline from posting things that seem difficult to explain and even to grasp...based on how they are hidden in the Hebrew scriptures. Sometimes it is difficult to convey these types of treasures. But I'm glad that some here can appreciate these things...

God is Spirit. He visits us here but He dwells in heavenly habitations. The point of the gospel is that God is taking visitors WHERE He lives. I love where the disciples asked Jesus...where do you live? Jesus replied....come and see! :)

It is both. Taking one away from the other is to speak a half-truth. Only the 2 combined is the truth.

2 Cor. 3:16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

If that is possible then why not walking with the Lord in Zion, the heavenly city? Is this not what it means to "walk in the Spirit"? This is the true meaning of rapture and translation.

Being born of the Spirit is to be born in Zion...the new Jerusalem (the mother (birthing) of us all). This psalm is what Jesus was referring to when He told Nicodemus that he must be born again (from Zion) from above. Ps 87:1 His foundation is in the holy mountains. 2 The Lord loveth the...
