Question, Matthew 27:46… why did Messiah quote Ps.22:1. My son was confused and I wasn't quite sure how to respond.
That Ezekiel scripture… Yah gave that to me in the night out of the blue a few weeks back. I have no clue what to do with it but I'm listening and trying to be obedient!
Thats amazing Jake about the brakes in your RV. I picture angels holding them until they knew you'd be safe. One time my husband was pulling my daughter in a bike carrier and right when we pulled into our driveway the wheel broke and I pictured the same thing(We were on big busy roads before that). Halleluyah!
If you can comprehend who Jesus really is and convey that to these people; Then they may understand! You said it yourself (though I'm not sure you realize it). "The Law came out of Jerusalem 2000 years ago". Jesus Christ is that law". When you truly understand what that means; Then, and only then, will you be able show it to others. The entirety of the scriptures convey a single message. Those who wrote the old testament new what that message was though they were cryptic in revealing it. The new testament writers were absolutely aware but appear equally reluctant to just come out and say it. You have been reading the scripture far too many years not to already comprehend this: God destroyed the tower of Babel and divided the Nations. He set the languages and boundaries of those nations and placed them in the care of certain of the angels. At the time this occurred he chose Abram and his wife for his portion. God spoke to Abram in a dream, and Abram responded. God made a covenant with Abram renaming him Abraham, and giving him circumcision as a mark. Later he came to Jacob in a dream and when he responded God made a covenant with him renaming him Israel. He told Abraham what would befall his descendants and what He Himself would bring about at that time. Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, all lead amazingly blessed lives as they walked in their Covenants with God.
When God brought the children of Israel out of Egypt and came down upon Mount Horeb to make his covenant with them, what happened? They fled (After having already agreed to Gods terms with Moses) Even when Moses tried to persuade them to come back they refused and demanded that He act as mediator for them. The deal God came to make with them was: Exodus 19:5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. Yet they rejected those terms and fled, leaving Moses to act as intermediary for them. So rather than becoming a Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation; they Got the Aaronic Priesthood and a substitute law: "the Law of Moses". God came down and delivered to Moses; His Covenant terms Written in stone by his own hand and the children of Israel refused to Covenant directly with him. THIS IS THE STONE THE BUILDERS REJECTED. They didn't become a kingdom of priests or a holy nation because they rejected it. Acts 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
So when Jesus say's to them: "I am the way the truth and the Life, no man cometh unto the father but by me', or even better: "I am the door of the Sheep". Or when Peter proclaims: " Acts 4:11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Maybe you will begin to comprehend: Jesus is the Original Covenant delivered by God himself made flesh. What is the Covenant written in stone but Gods word that he would keep up his end if they simply kept the covenant? (Gods Word!) John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. (Does it say the only begotten son of the father? No! It says the only begotten! What does Paul mean when he writes: Heb 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldst not, but a body hast thou prepared me: Jesus is not God; he is Gods Word: His Oath, brought to life. When Jesus was baptized the Holy Spirit descended upon him and stayed there. This means the Spirit of God was with him every step from then to the cross. Therefore God was indeed present the whole time, through Jesus. Jesus is the Covenant: which was the intent from the beginning. The Law of Moses, was not destroyed by Jesus it simply fell away because it was only there because they rejected Gods covenant. Once they accepted the Covenant they receive the gift of the holy spirit and become the children of God. This is why Jesus went out preaching: "Repent for the kingdom is at hand". To believe in Jesus Christ is to believe in the Word of God and embrace His Covenant: This Includes the Sabbath people! As my somewhat confused yet beloved brother Zack likes to say: "Go home and read your bible!
