Judgment IS on the House of God

Building the Temple of Christ

Peter and Rohnel, raised by the will of God to be servants of Christ and ministers of the Gospel; to the children and house of God; grace and peace unto you from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.  We write this encouragement to remind us of the Lord’s ways and purpose in raising us unto righteousness and conforming us into His image and likeness.

Once the Gospel is preached, judgment is fallen upon the house of God.  We are the house of God, who have, through the mercy of the Lord, now heard the Gospel preached unto us.  Judgment is now come, and the day of the Lord is come to those who believe the Gospel of the Living  Commandments.  Our old life is dead; the Commandments, Christ, the light of the world, is risen upon us, revealing that we were dead in our sins and trespasses.  Judgment, the blessing of a loving Father, is a very good thing.  It means salvation is come and we are being perfected and saved from our sins.

Heb 9:27  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 

Heb 9:28  So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. 

The second coming of Christ, the Living Word, is our Baptism of Christ.  It is receiving of the Promise of the indwelling Spirit of Christ whereby Christ and the Father make their abode within us.  This is the power unto salvation that now lives in our hearts and minds.  The Living Words are the fire, the baptism by fire that John the Baptist said follows him, preaching the Gospel.  It is a glorious day.  The works of the wicked one, Satan, the devil, our carnal mind, are being exposed and burned up by the fire of the Living Word.  It is a bright light that shines into every nook and cranny of our flesh. No stone is unturned as the temple of God that we are is being remade.

2Th 2:8  And then shall that Wicked [our father the devil, the carnal mind roaming in our earth] be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 

The Scriptures and sayings of Jesus Christ have come alive, and we are fulfilling them as we speak.  We pray the Lord grants the increase to as many as have been ordained to receive the Gospel of the living Commandments, which is Christ in you.  Salvation is come, and with it many signs and wonders are seen in our heaven and in our earth.  This was the prophecy of Joel, as our Pentecost moment has and continues to arrive.

Act 2:19  And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: 

Act 2:20  The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: 

Act 2:21  And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

That notable day is come, and with it, we are entering into times of mighty trials.  As we enter into the living faith of Christ, nothing is being held back.  We are selling all our possessions “in spirit” to buy the pearl of great price that has been offered.  All is given up for the sake of the Gospel, as those gathered in the faith have everything in common.  Those who hold back, seeking to save their old life, do not continue with us [See Acts 5] and are cut off from the living.

Mat 16:25  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 

Only the daughter of Zion [a tiny remnant] escapes and enters into New Jerusalem to be called holy unto the Lord. These few are they who are being washed and made anew by the holy Commandments, the Gospel that we have heard and now obey.  Christ is cleaning out His Holy Temple, which temple we are, and which is further spoken about below.  The Commandments, being the Spirit of Christ, is the spirit of judgment and the spirit of burning that is come unto our households.

Isa 4:3  And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem: 

Isa 4:4  When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. 

The same is the coming out of Babylon, that is also Spiritual Jerusalem, a great deception and time of bondage we have mercifully been delivered from.

Rev 14:6  And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 

Rev 14:7  Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. 

Rev 14:8  And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. 

The Gospel of the Kingdom of God has been preached, and the end of our carnal mindedness and walking after the flesh is come to those that hear.

Mat 24:14  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. 


1Pe 4:6  For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. 

1Pe 4:7  But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. 

To bring about the end of flesh, the Lord causes us to err from His ways so He brings judgment and scourging that teaches us the right way and instills in us the fear of the Lord.  See study – The Fear of the Lord is Our Treasure

Eze 7:3  Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations. 

Eze 7:4  And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 

Eze 7:5  Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come. 

Eze 7:6  An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come. 

All of our behavior, our thought life, our deeds, our interests, and our hobbies are being changed. All things are made new by Christ.  We are commanded to strengthen the loins of our mind, remain sober, and know what lies ahead.  It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.  We have no more ignorance of the Truth and thus obey the Commandment to turn towards God, which is repentance unto life.  The judgment of a mighty and jealous God that saves us from our sins is now come.

Act 17:30  And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent: 

The Lord’s Commandments are the holy things; they are the Father’s Words that now live in us.  Through them, we are being remade into the sons of the Living God.  As sons, we are commanded to be holy in all of our behavior.  The calling is far higher and the road narrower than when we first believed.

1Pe 1:13  Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 

1Pe 1:14  As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 

1Pe 1:15  But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation 

1Pe 1:16  Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 

All of our conversation includes not only what we do but the entirety of our speech and communications with those within and without the faith.  We remain set apart and let no corrupt communication proceed from our mouths.  How we conduct ourselves in our speech to everyone is a daily test and trial of our faith.

Eph 4:29  Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 

2Ti 2:16  But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness

We are no longer the same, as the habits, speech, and actions that once defined us are no more.  All things are becoming new as the great gulf between us and those in the world widens in due time.

Eph 5:1  Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 

Eph 5:2  And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. 

Eph 5:3  But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 

Eph 5:4  Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

The further we walk with Christ in obedience, the more separated we become from the world and our carnal past.  We no longer pursue the things we once did.  We do not engage in these affairs nor interact with those who burden us and bring us back into their bondage.  We have been set free and abide in the liberty of Christ.

Gal 5:1  Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 

The stakes have been raised, as our salvation from sin is at hand. Christ is come, and His judgment, a blessing and the sword of the Lord shall forever be on our house. We are being called out, set apart, and raised up into heaven by the living God of the universe.  All manner of our conversation is to be holiness unto the Lord.  Those saved in this age are the Lord’s army and the horses upon which He, the living Word, sits and rides.  The noise we make as we sojourn in this world is our speech, and it is engraved with the words Holiness Unto The Lord.

Zec 14:20  In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD’S house shall be like the bowls before the altar. 

Everything we eat in Spirit [our thoughts and speech] is made from a pure and clean pot that is holy.  No exceptions.  Nothing that defiles enters in or remains in the Lord’s house.

Zec 14:21  Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.

We also see the inscription of holiness in the instructions to Aaron, the high priest of Israel.  Sons of Aaron, signifying the elect today, wear an engraved plate of pure gold on their forehead that says “Holiness To The Lord”.  All of our thoughts and speech are being focused on the Holy things, the Commandments of the Lord, and not those things of the world.

Exo 28:36  And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD. 

The faithful ones are being made holy, and when the heat of the day of the Lord comes, they are enduring through the temptations to return to their former lusts.  The true ones are very peculiar people, meaning we don’t do the things everyone else in the world does.  We are not running after the same excess of riots and conversations as the rest of the world.  We abstain from anything that arouses those temptations and brings the tempter, our carnal mind, back to life.

1Pe 2:9  But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 

1Pe 2:10  Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 

1Pe 2:11  Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; 

We do everything in our power [by taking heed of the Spirit of the Commandments, the throne of grace within] to make our paths straight and seek holiness.  Without holiness no man shall see the Lord [salvation] in this age.  The call for excellence in all our behavior is a warning lest we fall and let even a little leaven of fornication or bitterness enter in and defile us.

Heb 12:13  And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. 

Heb 12:14  Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 

Heb 12:15  Looking diligently [to the commands] lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 

Our understanding of judgment and how it remakes all things new is greatly expanded once judgment has fallen by way of the Word now living within us. The Lord makes quick work on our earth; He moves swiftly when He comes by way of the living Commandments that bring heavy trials upon us.  We are seeking and asking the Lord to come and save us from our sin.

Rom 9:28  For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. 

Rev 22:20  He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 

We embrace the trials and learning to count them all joy, knowing the Lord’s plan and purpose.  Do not be surprised when these things begin to happen; they are confirmation that one is marked for the Lord.

1Pe 4:12  Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 

1Pe 4:13  But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 

The Lord comes for pure virgins, whose doctrine is Christ’s Commandments, and who have purified themselves by getting rid of all that is unholy.  We do this by filling our lamps with the anointing oil of the Living Commandments.  To make room for the oil, we clear out the wood, hay, and stubble that defiles us. If we slumber, sleep, or do not work, there is not enough oil in the lamp, and we miss the Lord’s coming, and the door is shut.

Mat 25:5  While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 

Mat 25:6  And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 

Faith comes by hearing these Words of the Commandments. The more we hear, the more oil we are buying to put into our lamps.  For those hungry for the Word of righteousness, eat every day. Everyone is to study at home to ensure we have enough oil.

1Co 11:34  And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation.

Mat 5:6  Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 

Judgment day is the same as the day of the Lord.  When the Gospel takes root in our temple, the Lord’s temple, that day has begun.  Judgment is now upon our house, and we learn to be ready and watch.  Now is the time to get in the ark [the Commandments].  Heavy spiritual rain is beginning to fall. It is time to trim our lamps and be ready to open the door when the Christ comes by way of the trials to test whether we obey His Commandments.

Luk 12:35  Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; 

Luk 12:36  And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

Luk 12:37  Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. 

The Lord comes with His Spirit in different watches, but nonetheless, we are ready, lamps lit and doing our Father’s business.  We do not obsess into the affairs of men, nor compare ourselves to others.  We follow the Lord, obeying the Commandments, and examine ourselves.  The world out there is busy eating and drinking, being drunk with its knowledge. He is coming quickly with His reward, the Promise, the mind of Christ, for those who have made themselves ready and are alert and watching.

Luk 12:38  And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. 

Luk 12:39  And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. 

Luk 12:40  Be ye therefore be ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. 

The wedding feast is now as we partake of the Living Word and prepare ourselves for marriage to the Lamb.

Rev 19:7  Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 

Peter wrote about the scoffers and mockers who make light of the warnings about His coming.  Peter was taught, as we are, in a parable to be ready [See Luk 12:41-47]. Likewise, the wise virgins are prepared when their bridegroom comes.  It is the foolish virgins who do not heed the call to get ready. Blessed is the servant who is found ready and watching.

2Pe 3:10  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 

2Pe 3:11  Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 

2Pe 3:12  Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 

2Pe 3:13  Nevertheless, we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 

Being ready and watching is working in the kingdom of God.  This is our always looking upon the Commandments that are Jesus Christ, the Wisdom of God.  If we stray into worldly practices and become weighted down, being busybodies in the affairs of others, many fall asleep and miss Christ.

1Pe 4:15  But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. 


Mar 13:35  Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 

Mar 13:36  Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 

Mar 13:37  And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. 

Engaging in worldly conversations and fixating on the world’s affairs tempt us and others, weigh us down, and put many to sleep if they continue thereby.  It is a snare much broader than we first understood.

Luk 21:34  NKJV “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 
Luk 21:35  For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 
Luk 21:36  Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” 

We are sent by the Lord to others to prepare the way by preaching His Gospel.  We are John the Baptist to those who hear us and gather with us in studying the Gospel and the Commandments.  Christ comes again suddenly to all who hear and gather with the saints, which requires one to believe and patiently tarry.

Mal 3:1  Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. 

As priests of God, our ministry is no longer about knowledge or the deep mysteries of the Scriptures.  We are teaching the difference between the holy and profane.  Holiness is the Lord’s standard, and it is in great controversy we stand in the manner of the Apostles and judge these matters and hallow the Lord’s Commandments [sabbaths].

Eze 44:23  And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. 

Eze 44:24  And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths. 

We are laying spiritual hands on all who hear and receive our words.  Many devils, which are carnal lies and strongholds, are being cast out by these words of power.  The serpents, the lies of the carnal mind, have no power in the presence of the Christ, the Word of truth.  Those who hear and believe this Gospel are being made well, being healed of all of their spiritual diseases.

Mar 16:15  And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 

Mar 16:16  He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 

Mar 16:17  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 

Mar 16:18  They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

The Lord’s words, spoken by His prophets, priests, ministers, and sons, are fire, and bring judgment upon all who hear. The old things we did are being uprooted and destroyed out of us if we belong to the house.  His Words do not fail to destroy the old and usher in the new.

Jer 1:9  Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. 

Jer 1:10  See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant. 

Our practice of pure and undefiled religion is to visit those without the commandments [Christ], having no Father and/or no Husband [widows] in their spiritual afflictions while keeping ourselves unspotted from the world.

Jas 1:27  Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. 

We are washing one another’s feet by the Word that sets the example for all to follow.  Carnal exchanges and sharing of problems and fleshly murmurings do not sanctify [cleanse] anything.  Only the Commandments sanctify and cleanse us of our sin.

1Co 5:7  Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened [i.e. holy]. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 

1Co 5:8  Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 

We are helpers of one another’s joy, but we also closely guard the gates into our minds and keep out anything that takes our focus off the living Words of Christ.  Engaging in dialog as the world does is engaging in their same excesses and idolatries.   We no longer engage in the excesses and idolatries of the world.   We are accused of many things and is part of the separation and set apartness as the Israel of God.

1Pe 4:2  That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. 
1Pe 4:3  For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: 
1Pe 4:4  Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: 

We are separated and different, truly set apart and above all holy unto the Lord.  Jesus Christ, the living Commandments, THE GOSPEL, comes, and when it comes, fiery trials and division is the result.  

Luk 12:49  I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? 

Luk 12:50  But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! 

Luk 12:51  Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 

We ourselves become the fire, as we are Christ in the world, speaking and doing the Commandments.  If we speak, we speak only as to the oracles of God.

1Pe 4:10  As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 

1Pe 4:11  If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 

It is this dividing of the sheep from the goats, that is, the fiery trials that have now come to prove who is of God and who is not.  The progression of our trials lead to love, which is our obedience to the Commandments.  We learn our enemies are of our own household and thus we choose today whom we are serving.  It is a necessary part of the suffering of Jesus Christ to be rejected and separated from brethren and families.  All in Asia forsook Paul and every one of the Apostles and prophets of old were rejected and isolated by the multitudes.

Mat 19:29  And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.


Mat 10:36  And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.

Mat 10:37  He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

These trials are not joyous in the moment but they lead to the peaceable fruit of righteousness in us in due time.  We rejoice when we suffer this reproach, as it means we are being raised in glory.

1Th 3:3  That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto. 

Rev 7:14  And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 

We are not ashamed of the Gospel, as it is the power of salvation to all who believe. Standing in the Gospel brings scorn and derision upon all who walk in the flesh who are naturally at enmity with the Commandments of Christ.  The true ones now being tried in this fire are scarcer than the fine gold of Ophir.  Not many who hear the Gospel receive it, as few brethren are chosen and made faithful in every generation.  Judgment by way of the Living Word is now on the household of God. The Commandments divide and set apart His remnant for the Lord’s purposes. That day is today.

1Pe 4:16  Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. 

1Pe 4:17  For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 

1Pe 4:18  And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 

1Pe 4:19  Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator. 

We remain serious about the Lord’s business and strive to obey the Gospel.  It is not enjoyable to flesh to lose all and give up the things they once enjoyed.  We take heed of the lessons and instructions given to us in the Scriptures in sharing this proclamation of judgment.

The Lord is a zealous Father and is serious about raising up sons of God in His likeness.  Play time is over as Paul reminds us of what happened to Israel of old that was destroyed, who rose up to play instead of working in the kingdom.

1Co 10:7  Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 

1Co 10:8  Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. 

1Co 10:9  Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. 

1Co 10:10  Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. 

1Co 10:11  Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 

1Co 10:12  Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall

Many start well as Israel of old did,  but do not remain vigilant and are quickly pulled back into our natural state of carnality and thus cease working for the kingdom of God.  Our bodies and minds are now the temple of God and are holy vessels unto the Lord.  The merchandising we engaged in during our time in Spiritual Babylon ends once the Gospel is received.  We have come out of her as the Lord’s people and no longer partake of those activities.  Jesus Christ is entered into us, His Holy Temple, and is throwing out all our carnal thoughts and reasonings, making all things new.  We are fulfilling the Scriptures and living by every word.

Luk 19:45  And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; 

Luk 19:46  Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. 

A house of prayer is a house focused on the Commandments.  Always doing the Commandments is praying without ceasing, and this is our work in the Father’s house.  Woe to those who are at ease in Zion and not doing the work of the Father.

Joh 2:14  And Jesus found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: 

Joh 2:15  And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; 

Joh 2:16  And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise. 

Being a disciple indeed of Jesus Christ is not for the faint of heart.  It takes boldness to preach and obey the Gospel in the midst of a carnal world that hates the Gospel.  In the midst of much opposition, within and without ourselves, we are dying and becoming dead to the world.  We now live for the Lord and Saviour

2Co 4:7  But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 

2Co 4:8  We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 

2Co 4:9  Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 

2Co 4:10  Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 

Those precious few of the house of God, the little flock, the tiny remnant being saved in this age, need every member of the body of Christ.  We are loving one another, which means to be bold and bring admonishment and correction when and where it is needed.  We are no respecters of persons.  It is difficult at times to bring admonishment and correction to those we love in Spirit who err from the narrow way.  Yet watchmen cannot keep silent lest the blood of fallen brethren be put on us if we are disobedient to the Commandments to warn.

Isa 62:6  I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent, 

Christ, the Commandments, are life and are never going to please flesh.  They bring the fire that is necessary to save us.  Those walking with Christ please God and not men.

Jas 5:19  Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; 

Jas 5:20  Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. 

We learn to rest and dwell in the fire of the Commandments that judge those of the household of faith.  It is the blessing of God and the means by which we are being saved from our sins and prepared for the greater work of the Lord.  We are becoming the Word being the Lord’s Christ and become the lake of fire to bring all men to God to salvation in their appointed time.

2Oba 1:21  And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’S.

Joh 20:21  Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. 

The Light that is Christ has come into us so we in turn become the light unto the world.

Mat 5:14  Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 

Mat 5:15  Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 

Mat 5:16  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.  

Having been raised from the spiritually dead, we have become a light unto the world by our preaching and obeying the Gospel.

Isa 60:1  Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 

Knowing these truths, we rejoice in the Lord always, knowing His ways and purposes in judging and chastening us and remaking us into His likeness.  The Lord is good and is wasting nothing in our life experience.

Php 4:4  Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

Commandments

The Commandment to Fear the Lord

 

The Treasure of the People of God

We are commanded to fear the Lord, but we know not what this means until we are taught it by the coming of the Living Gospel, the Promise that is Jesus Christ. It is when we are drawn to Christ by the Father that we begin to be taught the fear of the Lord. Hearkening unto Him is hearkening unto His Commandments, which now teach us to fear God.

Psa 34:11  Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

Fearing the Lord thy God has always been a key Commandment for initiating and maintaining our walk with God, and always doing what He pleases. Fearing God goes hand in hand with the first great Commandment.

Deu 8:5  Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. 

Deu 8:6  Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. 


Deu 10:12  And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, 

Jesus Christ has not changed.  The Living Word is the same, yesterday, today, and forevermore.

Joh 14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments. 

Joh 15:10  If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.

Learning the fear of the Lord happens when our eyes are opened to see the Gospel, the mystery hidden from the world. By the mercy of God, we see and hear the Gospel and are turned to the Living Commandments as the way of life. Our knowledge of the Truth, that is, Jesus Christ, the Living Word of Commandments, has begun.  Those blinded by God remain blind and despise the Commandments we now preach, and above all, do which we learn from our spiritual father and mother.

Pro 1:6  To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. 

Pro 1:7  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. 

Pro 1:8  My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: 

It is the coming of the Promise, the Living Christ,  which is also the seven spirits of God that are One Spirit, planted into our hearts and minds by which the Spirit of the fear of the Lord is manifested. We now grow in grace and knowledge through the Gospel, as Christ grows in us unto maturity.

Isa 11:1  And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 

Isa 11:2  And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; 

It is by eating the Lord’s supper, taking communion by breaking the living bread, which is our study and meditation on the Commandments by which we are learning and growing in the fear of the Lord. All the assembly learns and grows together, being of one faith, body, and baptism.

Act 2:42  And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 

Act 2:43  And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 

Act 2:44  And all that believed were together, and had all things common;


Eph 2:22  In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. 

When the Spirit falls upon the assemblies of God’s chosen people,  they walk in the fear of the Lord and are increased and prospered in the faith.

Act 9:31  Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied. 

When the Gospel comes, judgment has fallen upon the house of God. This is a very good thing, the wonderful works of God that are saving us. We are being perfected, overcoming sin as we strive to be holy in the fear of God. Fear of the Lord is always in the mix when holiness and overcoming sin is in view. Without the fear of the Lord, flesh and its lusts continue to rule.

1Pe 1:16  Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 

1Pe 1:17  And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: 


2Co 7:1  Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 

Php 2:12  Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 

Fearing the Lord is respecting and being in subjection to the Commandments, which is the Wisdom of God. We are taught to fear the Lord as we believe and strive to obey the Gospel we have now heard.  We press into the Commandments as the fear of the Lord moves us onto perfection in the Father’s timing. Fear of the Lord leads to obedience that grows our knowledge and brings understanding of the holy versus the profane.

Pro 9:10  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. 

Job 28:28  And unto man God said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. 

The Lord raises shepherds to be His ministers, prophets, and apostles to teach the flock the holy and the profane through the Gospel. We are fulfilling these Commandments and Scriptures today.

Eze 44:23  And they [Ministers] shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. 

The Lord’s purpose is to save us from our sins. All that He is doing works for this greater good. The Lord, the Living Word, comes by way of trials to prove and test our faith. We learn to obey, thus learning the difference between the holy and profane, by being scourged and chastened for our disobedience. The chastening of the Lord is grace that brings salvation by teaching us righteousness. Chastening by grace is also how we are being taught the fear of the Lord, so that we no longer sin. It is the way of salvation.

Exo 20:20  And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. 


Tit 2:11  For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 

Tit 2:12  Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 

Tit 2:13  Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ

As sons of God, the Lord is our parent who loves us and is raising us to be righteous and holy in His image and the Father’s name. Without these trials and the resulting chastening and scourging, we are not true sons of God. So we rejoice in our trials, knowing they are accomplishing their purposes.

Heb 12:6  For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 

Heb 12:7  If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 

Heb 12:8  But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 

Heb 12:9  Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 

The rod, meaning our chastening for disobedience, is not spared by our Father to raise sons unto righteousness. Knowing these truths, we serve God with reverence and godly fear, knowing His ways and purposes in delivering us from all sin.

Heb 12:28  Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 

Heb 12:29  For our God is a consuming fire. 


Pro 13:24  He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly. 

We learn in our day of judgment that if we willfully sin after knowing the Commandments, we have every expectation of a fiery discipline response from the Lord whose Word He sent forth is not returning to Him void. Where sin abounds, grace abounds even more.

Heb 10:26  For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 

Heb 10:27  But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 

Unless and until the Lord has mercy, the Gospel remains hid from our eyes, and the Book is sealed unto us. We first draw near with our lips, and not our hearts, and the fear of the Lord we at first learn is based on the precepts of men and not God. Extra-biblical topics such as reverential awe of the man Jesus Christ and deep respect for God go beyond what is written and do not save anyone from their sins.   The false doctrine of eternal torment is a prime example; millions believe it, yet they continue in sins, and their hearts are far from the Commandments.

Isa 29:11  And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: 

Isa 29:13  Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: 

For those chosen for salvation in this age, the Lord shows mercy and performs His wondrous works as our knowledge of God and understanding are being made new, and we are being taught the true fear of the Lord.

Isa 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. 

Our old life is passing away; we acknowledge Him, meaning the Commandments in all our ways, and those Commandments are now the light unto our path. We are fearing the Lord, that is, revering the Commandments, striving to obey them. We are thus departing from evil and being saved from all of our sins.

Pro 3:6  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 

Pro 3:7  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. 

No man teaches themselves to fear the Lord or walks in the fear of the Lord except they be caused by the Spirit of Grace. Salvation is all the Lord’s work, and as clay in His hands, all that we do is in Christ. All men first run to shed blood, that is, reasoning with our carnal minds, accusing and excusing one another, not knowing the Lord. Neither are we yet exposed to the true fear of the Lord that has us in fear of the Commandments, so that we obey them.

Rom 3:15  Their feet are swift to shed blood: 

Rom 3:16  Destruction and misery are in their ways: 

Rom 3:17  And the way of peace have they not known: 

Rom 3:18  There is no fear of God before their eyes. 

We are taught to fear the Lord, and the result is our being caused to obey Him.  Teaching us is the work of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Grace that is shed abroad in our hearts and manifests the love of God.

Rom 5:5  Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. 

Eze 36:27  And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. 

Joh 6:45  It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. 

The grace of God bringing salvation is the Promise, the Living Commandments that are guiding and teaching us the ways of righteousness. We inherit our earth, meaning we overcome our sins as we are taught to rest in the Commandments and cease from our carnal thoughts. The Promise, the Holy Spirit, is the secret, the Living Gospel of Commandments that now lives in us and brings us into the everlasting covenant as sons.

Psa 25:12  What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. 

Psa 25:13  His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. 

Psa 25:14  The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. 

Now that we abide in fear of the Lord, we are being led to newness of life, and evil is fleeing from us. The old is gone, all things are made new. Without the fear of the Lord, salvation from sin is elusive.

Pro 19:23  NKJV The fear of the LORD leads to life, and he who has it will abide in satisfaction; He will not be visited with evil. 

When we abide in the fear of the Lord, the angel of the Lord, the same Commandments, deliver us from our sins and all our enemies.

Psa 34:7  The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. 

The Gospel ushers in the era when we learn and abide in the fear of the Lord. Receiving the Gospel begins our learning God’s wisdom and simultaneously we are learning the true fear of the Lord. Christ, the Wisdom of God, is contrary to the world’s wisdom. We are blessed to see this and be able to speak of the mystery, the secret, hidden from the world.

Luk 11:49  Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: 

1Co 2:7  But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 

The fear of the Lord has us hating what the Lord hates, which are all abominations to Him. As Christ, we seek to please our heavenly Father in all that we do or speak. There is no pride or lie in us when we fear the Lord, and we no longer hate our neighbor or run after evil, or create strife among brethren. We speak Truth, the Commandments, in our speech and deeds.

Pro 8:13  The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. 


Pro 6:16  These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: 

Pro 6:17  A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, 

Pro 6:18  A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, 

Pro 6:19  A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren. 

The Commandments teach us to fear the Lord, and we learn them and enter into doing them, the Sabbath rest, only through many tribulations.  These trials are what burn up and consume our carnal thoughts and lusts, making all things new in our lives.

1Pe 4:17  For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 

Now knowing the Truth, we are no longer being tossed to and from by every wind of doctrine and the carnal reasonings of men; we stand in the wisdom and knowledge of God. We all heard the adage “knowledge is power,” and this is true in the spiritual: the knowledge and Wisdom of God are the power of the Gospel that brings forth our salvation. Our fear of the Lord IS become a treasure and stabilizing force that keeps us on the narrow way of life, the highway of holiness.

Isa 33:6  And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure. 

Solomon learned that the whole of our existence can be summed up as fearing God and keeping His Commandments. The two actions are opposite sides of the same coin. To find either of these two actions in our lives, we see both as the dream is one and they are inseparable.  The Lord is working all things for the counsel of His will to bring this about in His Elect in this age.

Ecc 12:13  Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole [duty] of man. 

Ecc 12:14  For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. 

Peace and grace to the scattered pilgrims who are learning and treasuring the fear of the Lord.

The Acceptable Year of the Lord   

Our Day of Visitation and Acceptance in the Beloved

Rohnel and Peter, servants of Christ Jesus, according to His will, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

Keep My Commandments 

Jer 7:23  But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.

Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

The Acceptable Year of the Lord

Preaching the true Gospel is the same as preaching the Acceptable Year of the Lord. Coming to understand this helps us know how we are to live our lives henceforth and what to expect as we finish the race set before us. When Christ IS come with His mighty angels preaching the Gospel to us, the Acceptable Year of the Lord IS  begun within us. This is also known as the Day of the Lord and the days of visitation. Please refer to the detailed study: The Wonderful and Dreadful Day of the Lord on the truthinscripture.com website.

Luk 4:18  The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Luk 4:19  To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.


Hos 9:7  The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred [violence in the land, accusing and excusing within ourselves].


Luk 19:42  Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace [the Commandments] but now they are hid from thine eyes.

Luk 19:43  For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,

Luk 19:44  And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.


1Pe 2:12  Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

The Acceptable Year of the Lord is the year of the Lord’s favor upon men and is the greatest blessing any man receives in a vessel of clay. The favor towards man is the true grace of God, which is what transforms us and remakes us into His image by the chastening and scourging of our earthly man and beastly way of life. The grace of God is not a substitution of His death for ours, nor is it forgiveness where no suffering or consequences, which teach us as children, are experienced. True grace is the fire, the Commandments of Christ, the wrath of God poured out against our flesh, that is to say, our carnal mindedness being bound to the letter of the law, accusing or excusing within ourselves [Rom 2].

Isa 26:9  With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments [Commandments] are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.


Rom 1:4  And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

Rom 1:5  By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

Rom 1:6  Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:


Heb 12:6  For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

The wrath of God, Christ’s Commandments, is what teaches us righteousness. The wrath of God is aimed at the first Adam within us, the gentile nations within, who walk after the stubbornness of their own hearts. All of what is described in Ephesians below is what the natural man within us does. Do not think out there, but discern spiritually and think within.

Tit 2:11  For the grace [Commandments, the Word of Grace] of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

Tit 2:12  Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;


Jhn 3:36  He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.


Eph 5:2  And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

Eph 5:3  But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

Eph 5:4  Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

Eph 5:5  For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Eph 5:6  Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

We see that the Acceptable Year of the Lord is also known as the Day of Vengeance, the Day of age-enduring fire, that brings about the last Adam, a quickening Spirit, the new man of His righteousness, established by the faith of Christ. Think spiritually within.

Isa 61:1  The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

Isa 61:2  To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;


Heb 10:30  For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

Jud 1:7  Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Christ’s favour towards us is His righteous judgments that come by way of the Word, the Commandments. This is His loving kindness or mercy shown to us that opens our blind eyes and deaf ears. Knowing we are in the Lake of Fire, His Commandments, which kill death within us, that is to say, the carnal mind, is what we receive from our heavenly Father. We are being accepted in the Beloved and being transformed into the image of Christ, going from glory to glory.

Psa 30:5  For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour [H7522 – acceptance, receiving us] is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Rev 20:14  And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.


Eph 1:4  According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Eph 1:5  Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

Eph 1:6  To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

The restoration of Israel, that is to say the restoration of God’s sons, is accomplished in the Acceptable Year and time the Lord has ordained when He IS come to rule in our lives, establishing a new earth in which His righteousness dwells. We are set free from bondage to the letter. Satan, the devil, our natural father, is cast out of our heavens when the Lord rules in Zion [us] in this Day. This is the true Sabbath’s rest of the Lord we seek and with patience and prayer wait to enter in.

Isa 49:8  Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;

Isa 49:9  That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.

This parable speaks of us being set free from Satan, the spirit that drives our carnal minds, on the true Sabbath day. Satan is the prince of the power of the air [Eph 2:2].

Luk 13:15  The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

Luk 13:16  And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

It is in the Acceptable Year of the Lord that we are being made to give an account, and we are being judged every day. Our spiritual progression is advanced from the initial down payment [2 Co1:22] onward toward a mature man of God who does righteousness [1 John 4:12], as the Spirit dwelling in us is righteous.

Act 17:30  And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

Act 17:31  Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.


Act 10:35  But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

Rom 12:1  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

The Acceptable Year of the Lord is not literal. This applies to all of Scripture;  the Lord’s words are spiritual, and flesh profits nothing [Joh 6:63]. Christ speaks in similitudes and in parables [Hos 12:10, Mar 4:11]. Outwardly, the Acceptable Year defines the three harvests of the Lord by which all men are being saved [1Co 15:22-24] in the order ordained. Yet the Acceptable Year of the Lord is also a living event that God’s sons live out inwardly. This Year of the Lord is what is converting us and making us acceptable in the Beloved. The spiritual man is the blessing, coming forth through a progressive and fiery process that is maturing us.

Deu 16:16  Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:

Deu 16:17  Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.


Luk 21:17  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.

Luk 21:18  But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

Luk 21:19  In your patience possess ye your souls.

The Acceptable Year of the Lord is the same as the three days during which Christ is rebuilding the Temple of God within us, which we have destroyed and profaned, making it a house of merchandising and not of prayer. The result is spiritual death, and the glory of God is not found in the house. We are the Temple of God, and He raises us through His Commandments. We suffer many things before the Lord raises us from death and begins to remake His Temple.

Mat 15:32  Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude [within us], because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.

Mrk 8:31  And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

Joh 2:19  Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

The working of the Lord within us for these three days is the one sign given that the Lord is with us and we are now being conformed into His image and righteousness. It is an evil generation, that is to say, it is an evil mindset, to seek after a sign. We all do this at times appointed for us to do. All is by God’s design.

Mat 12:38  Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
Mat 12:39  But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
Mat 12:40  For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Our change of heart, done by the spiritual circumcision of the Lord, is the same acceptance process that is consecrating us as priests and bringing forth the last Adam, a quickening Spirit.

Eze 43:27  And when these days are expired, it shall be, that upon the eighth [new beginnings] day, and so forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD.


Col 2:9  For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Col 2:10  And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

Col 2:11  In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

Col 2:12  Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

It is in Christ’s mountain, spiritual Jerusalem, where we are accepted and where all of His righteous work is performed in us. The true Gospel of Christ is separating the little children of God, and it is the savour of death to death, that is to say,  death to our carnal way of thinking.

Eze 20:41  I will accept you with your sweet savour [of death], when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen.


2Co 2:15  For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:

2Co 2:16  To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

Dying to death on a tree [Acts 5:30] is how we are being conformed into the image of the Son and is what makes us acceptable to the Lord. This is Christ’s desire and plan, who is working all things according to the counsel of His will [Eph 1:11]. Christ commands us to ‘follow Him’ to death. This is why our death [death to death, the second death] is precious to the Lord.

Psa 116:15  Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

Ecc 7:1  A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth.

1Co 15:31  I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

A New Testament witness explaining the Lord’s view of our death is this:

Col 1:20  And, having made peace [within] through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

Col 1:21  And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

Col 1:22  In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

Those being accepted by the Lord are those bringing judgment to the Gentiles within themselves, that is to say, the rest of the dead within. Those whom the Lord accepts are those in whom He delights when judgment is brought forth.

Jer 9:24  But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.

Isa 42:1  Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth [H7521 – Accepts]; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

Pro 3:12  For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

Rom 7:22  For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

Christ taking pleasure in His people is the same as the Lord accepting His people, as Psalm 149 confirms.

Psa 149:4  For the LORD taketh pleasure [H7521 – accepts] in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

Psa 149:5  Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

Psa 149:6  Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hand;

Psa 149:7  To execute vengeance upon the heathen, [within first] and punishments upon the people;

Psa 149:8  To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron [rule and reign over the inward nations];

Psa 149:9  To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

Being accepted by God, the Father, and Christ, His Son, means we have been chosen and received by Them [One Spirit] as Their sons. Embracing the true Gospel is embracing the work of Christ’s chastening grace, which scourges the man of sin within and burns up our entire old way of life, making all things new within and without.

2Ti 1:8  Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

2Ti 1:9  Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

2Ti 1:10  But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

Today is the Acceptable Year of the Lord. We are hearing the true Gospel being preached to us. We are admonished not to squander it or receive this grace of God in vain.

2Co 6:1  We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

2Co 6:2 For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

Victory is certain, the Baptism of Fire, the place of our death within, the Lake of Fire, is the only way wherein the righteousness of Christ is being established. This is a new heaven and a new earth within us.

2Pe 3:13  Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

2Pe 3:14  Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;


Col 2:12  Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

In the Acceptable Year of the Lord, being set free from our hard labour, speaking spiritually, we watch lest we enter into temptation. Our enemies within are always there to tempt us, wresting judgment away. Our hard labour is the fruit of our carnal thinking, which produces lies and idols of the heart, the work of our own hands.

Mat 24:42  Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

Mat 24:43  But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

Mat 24:44  Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.


2Pe 3:17  Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

2Pe 3:18  But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

We have every expectation of fiery trials daily as we go through the Lake of Fire now, in vessels of clay to die to death, which is the second death. Think spiritually.

2Co 6:4  But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

2Co 6:5  In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;

2Co 6:6  By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love [Agape – our obedience] unfeigned,


2Co 7:4  Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.

Sons of God no longer abide in darkness in the Acceptable Year of the Lord. The Light of Christ has shone onto our earth, and we ourselves are now enlightened with the light that is the Commandments, which bring judgment to the earth.

Psa 97:4  His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.

Mat 5:16  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

The Lord is seated in our heavens, and we are become quickening Spirits, and no longer live for ourselves. The Promise IS come for us.

Mar 16:19  So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

Mar 16:20  And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.

1Co 7:23  Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men [lies].


Eph 5:9  For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth.

Eph 5:10  Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

We grow to fully embrace the suffering and afflictions to which we have been appointed for the sake of the true Gospel of Christ Jesus in this Day of the Lord, the Acceptable Year of the Lord, the Day of our Visitation, and the Year of Vengeance. All the same symbol, the dream is one [Gen 41:26].

Php 1:29  For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;


Col 1:24  Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church:

Col 1:25  Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;

The Power of the Spirit, Christ’s Commandments, is working mightily in us. We are now the Lord’s ministering angels sent to those who obtain salvation. Believe the Gospel, and know we, the sons of God, His little children, have been accepted by the Lord, in the Beloved.

Luk 21:28  Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”


Heb 3:13  but exhort one another daily, while it is called “TODAY,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Heb 3:14  For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end

God is the God of the living. Those chosen and counted worthy to obtain salvation and the resurrection of the dead no longer live for ourselves but are bondservants of the Lord. We become the angels of the Lord, the children of God, by way of the resurrection from the dead.

Luk 20:35  But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

Luk 20:36  Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

Luk 20:37  Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

Luk 20:38  For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

If we be dead with Christ, we shall live with Christ, being one in Spirit with God.

Joh 14:19  Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

Joh 14:20  At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

In the Acceptable Year of the Lord, we, the sons of God, send portions to those for whom none is prepared. Our garments are white, and our heads do not lack ointment. This is a parable, and it means we wear the white robes of righteousness, that is to say, obedience to Christ’s Commandments, and our heads do not lack the anointing oil of the Commandments. We know them and strive to do them.

Neh 8:9  And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.

Neh 8:10  Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.


Ecc 9:8  Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment.

All Shall Know the Lord

Being Taught of the LORD

Rohnel, and my beloved husband, Peter, angels and servants of God And Christ, unto the twelve tribes scattered in the world beloved of God, called to be saints, to the little children and to the faithful: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Psa 66:8  O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard: 

Psa 66:9  Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. 

Keep my Commandments and Live

Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 

Joh 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 

Newborn Children are Taught of God 

No matter one’s circumstances on the road towards salvation, we are learning a deeper appreciation and understanding of just how sovereign Christ, the Lord, is in every aspect of our lives. All is being fulfilled according to the Lord’s plan and purpose.

Isa 45:11  Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 

Isa 45:12  I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. 

Isa 45:13  I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts. 


Mat 5:18  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 

The Lord wastes nothing in our lives in orchestrating all things according to the predetermined will of God. The sons of God possess all things, read 2 Cor 6:4-10.

Eph 1:11  In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 

Eph 1:12  That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 

Eph 1:13  In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 


2Co 6:10  As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. 

It is the Day of the Lord. Christ is now making known His mighty Power to us, that is to say His Holy Commandments within us and through the many things we suffer as we are taught of God. The Commandments, which is the Spirit of Grace, tries us and we come forth as gold tried in the fire.

Rom 9:22  What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: 

Rom 9:23  And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 


1Pe 1:7  That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 

Wrath to the natural man within is the greatest blessing we receive, as this is the Truth and Grace of God that saves us through much tribulation and anguish, which manifests His holiness and righteousness within us. To be holy is to have the mind of Christ, and to be righteous is to obey the mind of Christ.

Tit 2:11  For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 

Tit 2:12  Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 

Tit 2:13  Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing [Within us] of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 


Rom 12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 

Our being is in Christ, and there is nothing done under the sun outside of Christ that is not already written in our books of life. We live and move in Him.

Act 17:26  And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 

Act 17:27  That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 

Act 17:28  For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.


Col 1:16  For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 

Col 1:17  And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 

Our spiritual upbringing from entering Orthodoxy [a shadow of the real], to being taught the Law and the Prophets, making us spiritual rich young rulers, to eventually being born again in our spiritual mother, Eve’s womb, is all part of our predestinated journey in becoming sons of God.

Psa 71:6  By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee. 

Rev 12:5  And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. 

As we grow in Christ, we see how the Lord is orchestrating our spiritual birth from within the people of God and then our separation when He IS COME to lead us into the third spiritual day, the Day of the Lord. We are being born in spiritual Jerusalem, that is to say, the place where Christ chooses to place His Name, His Commandments.

Luk 24:49  And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. 


Joh 3:5  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 

Joh 3:6  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 

Joh 3:7  Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

Joh 3:8  The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 

Henceforth, after we are born again, we are being taught, not by sermons or studies prepared by men, but by the Living Christ, that is to say His Commandments within us.  When Christ first appears, He appears to some in the breaking of Bread and to some by direct revelation [Apostles]. It is only in the breaking of Bread [Christ] that others recognize the risen Christ in His disciples and angels.

Luk 24:30  And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. 

Luk 24:31  And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. 

Luk 24:32  And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? 

Luk 24:33  And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, 

Luk 24:34  Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. 

Luk 24:35  And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. 


Gal 1:11  But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 

Gal 1:12  For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ

On the third day, the Day of the Lord, after the Comforter IS COME, no man [lie] is our teacher as we are taught obedience by the chastening of our heavenly Father. This is the way all men will intimately come to know the Lord in their appointed times. Before Faith comes, we are still children and need to be taught by those appointed by the Lord. The Comforter, the holy Commandments are His Truth and Grace, and the Spirit of righteousness.

Joh 1:16  And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 

Joh 1:17  For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 

Joh 1:18  No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. 


Eph 2:8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 

Eph 2:9  Not of works, lest any man should boast. 

Eph 2:10  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. 

This is the promise of the New Covenant as we are led by the Spirit and grow by the manifest trials the Lord orchestrates every day.

Heb 8:10  For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 

Heb 8:11  And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.


Rom 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 

Rom 8:15  For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 

Rom 8:16  The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 

Henceforth, the anointing, which is the Spirit of God, is now leading us in all things and teaching us the way of life. Sons of God is a type and shadow of Aaron. The Lord opens our eyes and anoints us when He comes and shows mercy to us in our latter end.

Lev 8:12  And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron’s head, and anointed him, to sanctify him. 

Rev 3:18  I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 

It is only those who have been delivered from the law of Moses and the Law of the Gentiles accusing and excusing within ourselves, that are the true sons of God.

Rom 2:14  For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 

Rom 2:15  Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another


Rom 8:19  For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 

We live through our spiritual days one and two to get to the third day. All of it is needed and useful in preparing us for what lies ahead. When Christ IS COME to save us, we are freed from the law for the ungodly and sinners. When the Faith of Christ is imparted, everything changes, and we are no longer bound by the Law that was used for a season to bring us to Christ.

Gal 3:23  But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 

Gal 3:24  Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 

Gal 3:25  But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 

Gal 3:26  For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 


1Ti 1:9  Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 

It is a fiery and slow process to grow into the knowledge of Truth and Grace and being made perfect as mature sons and daughters of God. All that we do, is the work of the Potter who has made a marred vessel purposefully to then destroy it and by this process making us anew to bring salvation to our souls. This is the wonderful works of God to the children of men when we are given mercy to see and understand these things. The Lord’s Commandments is the salvation that we need.

Jer 18:3  Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 

Jer 18:4  And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. 


Psa 35:9  And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation. 

Christ coming to His sons the first time, hearing the true Gospel of God, is the beginning of the rebirth process in Spirit, that is to say, His Commandments. Christ coming to His sons the second time unto salvation completes our birth. As newborn babes in Christ, we preach the Gospel mightily within and without and go forward to be perfected on the third Day. Our youth is not despised as Christ and His and our Father work mightily in us.

1Co 9:16  For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! 

Psa 144:12  That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace: 

1Ti 4:12  Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 

The first two spiritual days of our upbringing is our time of bondage under tutors and governors. This includes our time in spiritual Egypt and then in Assyria and spiritual Babylon, where we remain, unknowingly, under bondage to the carnal mind and the reasoning of men. A day, only known by the Father, eventually comes, the fullness of times to every man, when we hear the true Gospel of Christ, and as such, it is the end of the age of the natural man within us. We are now being set free from the man of sin, who sits in the temple of God. Henceforth, we are led by the Spirit of God. Think spiritually when you read Scriptures.

Gal 4:1  Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 

Gal 4:2  But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. 

Gal 4:3  Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 

Gal 4:4  But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 

Gal 4:5  To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.


Mat 24:36  But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 

Mat 24:14  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. 

When the Spirit of Christ comes to us, we are being freed from our bondage to this law of carnal reasoning that held us in bondage. This is the difference and the separation, the big divide between the true sons of God from those still bound in bondage their carnal minds.

Rom 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Luk 12:51  Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 


Isa 40:3  The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Isa 40:4  Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:

Isa 40:5  And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. 

The sons of God are separated from their spiritual father, the devil, and from their spiritual mother, that great harlot, for the Lord to receive them as children. The  Lord separates His chosen few, chosen from before the foundation of the world, and causes them to be faithful. Christ now teaches His own.

Psa 27:10  When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. 

Psa 27:11  Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. 


Psa 45:10  Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house; 

Psa 45:11  So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him. 


Joh 6:45  It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

It is the Holy Spirit of Christ and the Father, who are ONE Spirit, abiding in us who are doing the works within us that bring salvation.

Joh 14:10  Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 

This is the Lord’s salvation and our entering into the third day where Christ is teaching us and causing us to rest in Him. This is the true Sabbath of the Lord, which was made for Him.

Eze 34:13  And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country. 

Eze 34:14  I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. 

Eze 34:15  I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD. 

Eze 34:16  I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment. 


Mat 12:7  But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. 

Mat 12:8  For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day. 

It is through our sufferings and tribulations that we are being saved. We learn obedience through suffering. We learn not to have confidence in any flesh, that is to say, we do not judge by appearance anymore, but we judge righteous judgment, that is to say, we judge according to the Commandments of Christ. The Lord, the righteous Teacher, is our Teacher of righteousness.

Heb 12:25  See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

Heb 12:26  Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

Heb 12:27  And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 

Heb 12:28  Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 

Heb 12:29  For our God is a consuming fire. 


Isa 28:5  In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people, 

Isa 28:6  And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate. 


Isa 30:20  And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:

Isa 30:21  And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. 

The old [the letter] is vanishing away and is rolled up as a scroll. The Living Commandments now abide within us and are directing us into the righteousness of Christ. Abiding in Christ, His anointing within us remains.

1Jn 2:27  But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. 


Gal 3:27  For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 

Gal 3:28  There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 

Gal 3:29  And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. 

Now being fed judgment by the fiery Word of God living within us, the old things in our lives are passing away as they are consumed in the fiery trials the Lord brings to us in the Day of the Lord. We dwell in the fire of God’s Holy Commandments. All that defiles within and without is cast into the fire.

1Pe 4:12  Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 

1Pe 4:13  But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 


Rev 20:15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. 

We now receive the end of our Faith, which is the salvation of our souls. Suffering is how we are being made holy and taught the righteousness of Jesus Christ.

Psa 119:71  It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. 

Psa 94:12  Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law; 

Isa 48:17  Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. 

Heb 2:10  For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

This is the only way we enter into the Temple that is Christ, the Tree of Life, and find the peace of God that transcends all understanding. Knowing the Lord is having His mind, and we are becoming more like Him as we endure and see Him face to face.

Jas 1:12  Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

2Co 3:18  But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 

Rev 15:8  And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled. 

Our precious Faith and the Hope of things to come, not yet revealed, get us through the times of suffering and anguish of souls. Paul admonishes us to stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free and not to fall back.

Gal 5:1  Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 

Gal 5:2  Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. 

We remember the Commandments of Christ, we know them and strive to obey them, so we may be counted worthy to stand before the Son of God in our latter end. Go to the truthinscripture.com website and visit the heading Commandments.

We say with Solomon: My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. 

Receive ye the Gospel, receive ye the Holy Spirit.
