"Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth./My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:/ Because I will publish the name of the Lord."
In continuation of the post titled Thy name we have this key text as spoken by Moses. It is encapsulated by the Lord's Prayer, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." The Spirit gives us a clear demonstration of what is meant by "After our likeness" in putting words of the Son in Moses. He is what the similitude in theological sense delineates. It is similtude of the Lord as the verse makes clear. "With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold."(Nu.11:8). "The words of my mouth" are not parables where God and Moses are concerned. He is after our likeness, as Jesus as the Word made flesh, so we have his doctrine repleted with 'loaded' words as dew, as small rain and the showers. What holds them together? Is it not the river of time sent forth as the word gone forth from the mouth of God? We read "from the waters which were above the firmament" several states so the mist, " But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground"(Ge.2:6;1:7) mist gives over to small showers giving us a lapse of time.
The Spirit makes an unbroken narrative thread from the beginning till eternity. In Ex.15:27 the Spirit gives us 12 wells at Elim."where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters." The number 12 foreshadows Christ exhorting,"In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink." ( John 7:37). What Moses qualifies as 'my speech' refers to him. Up and Down and Across have tags 12 and 70 (7x10) trees of righteouss
"Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are."
We shall accept Holiness as all-inclusive name for 'thine own name" which is on the basis "The Word was God." Virgin Mary stirred by the Spirit defines His name, "Holy is his name." He revealed to Moses, "I am that I am". ( Luke 1:49;Ex.3:14). God gives his own name so the body, the church may be one, "As we are". This pattern explains God was with the Word.
Principle of Similitude sets the realities of heaven and of the earth on a single standard which is the Word become flesh. This is designated as the Man component in whom whosoever heard the call and received Jesus Christ as his Saviour is an associate. This principle is stated in Matt.10:40. " He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me."
In the Parable of the Leaven Jesus sent the Word which spreads from one end of the heaven to another. The Parable is about the kingdom of heaven. "The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened." (Matt.13:33) The everlasting gospel works Up and Down and also Across.
God sent his Word which is sound as well as a sign. So in Lucan Gospel we have the Association,"The Word was with God" stated differently,"He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me."( Luke 10:16)
Evangelist Matthew has the charge given to 12 disciples while St Luke gives us Seventy other disciples. Matthew is referring to the Word become flesh and himself as the Gospel of Christ. St Luke is giving us instead the Word which 'in the beginning' was with God. In both cases the great commission reconciles Up and Down and Across by the risen Christ. "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth..../and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."(Matt.28:18-20)

'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. '
Luke 7:23 - And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
The word offended means stumble over!
Luke 7:29 - And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
Again, the word "publicans" just means a tax collector. And they "justified God." And what that means, it is actually a Greek term for a Hebraism that means they declared God right.
Luke 7:41 - There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
So, Jesus says that there was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed him five hundred DENARII, 500 days wages.
That is a lot of money, almost two years' worth. And the other owed fifty, 500 and 50.
Luke 8:1 - And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
And it came to pass afterward, and in the Greek text it literally says in succession. This is the next thing that happened, but not exactly the same day or the next day. Some of these incidents are anywhere from three to six months apart as far as their proximity to each other.
Luke 6:20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
This word "blessed" MAKARIOS means to experience the fullness of someone or something. And the word "poor" in this verse (PROKOS) means physical poverty! Now remember the Lord has His disciples there. He has got the 12 apostles that He has just appointed, and He's looking at them, and He's teaching the crowd, and He says pay attention here people, the fullness of God is experienced and is upon the life of the poor!
Luke 6:27 - And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.
The word "saw" in the Greek text is not your normal word (BLEPO) to see somebody, but actually Jesus observed him. Jesus was studying him and watching him.
And the word "publican" means a tax collector.
Luke 6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
The word "thank" here is the word grace in the Greek text. It reads what grace do you have?
Luke 6:35 - But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
In the Greek, it's an act of violence. He is violently removed from them, and then shall they fast in those days. He will be taken away, it will be a time of grief, and then they will fast.
Luke 6:37 - And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
Again, the word "bottles" is not what we think in English. The Greek tell us that these are wine skins.
Luke 6:40 - The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
The word "perfect" is the word KARATEIDZO. This is the same word used for the fishermen who were mending their nets when Jesus came to call them.
Luke 5:18 - And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
Again, this word palsy tells us that this man was a paralytic, paralyzed from the neck down. Please don't get the wrong idea about this bed because it was like a cot that just rolls up. And these men, the carriers, we are told in Mark that there were four of them. Four people that brought this paralyzed man to Jesus, and they were seeking the means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
Luke 5:22 - But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
Jesus perceived their thoughts. And you see, they didn't say it out loud, they were thinking it. DIALOGEIDZOMAI is the Greek word. They were dialoguing in their minds. Who does this guy think He is? That is blasphemy. The Lord says "I know what you are thinking." And so, He answering said unto them, "What reason you in your hearts?"
Luke 5:24 - But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
Again, this could be translated (he said unto the paralyzed man).
Luke 5:26 - And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
The Greek work for "strange things" is PARADOXSOS, and it's where we get our word paradox from. What they were literally saying was, "We have seen a paradox today!" In our English text, we can go in many different directions as to what "strange things" might mean.
Luke 6:6 And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.
A man whose right hand was withered. Literally in the Greek, it is shriveled up, or shrunk.
Luke 5:11 - And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.
When they had brought their ships to land, and please notice this: they forsook all. It is called an Aorist Passive Participle in the Greek. It means it was a one-time thing. They turned their back on the old life and never went back. But you have to understand what they turned their back on.
You see, we know that when Jesus called the disciples to follow Him earlier, that they left their father in the boats, and they were following Jesus. In order to completely forsake everything to follow Christ, they are giving up their inheritance because that shipping industry would be passed on to them after their father dies. So, they are leaving their whole future from a human standpoint. All of their inheritance, they forsook it all and followed him.
The word "followed" is in the imperfect tense, meaning they were continually following Him. One time thing! They left all, turned their backs on the old life, and were continually following Him. Now just by way of side note you should know that this is not the first time they've seen Jesus, nor the second. This is at least the third time.
We know that the end of John Chapter 1 that Andrew introduced Jesus Christ to Peter. He says we have found the Messiah. And it was at that time that Peter was introduced to Christ. And they left that scene, and they went back home, and they were in the fishing industry and remember Jesus walked along the shore and called them and says follow me, and they responded. And here they are again. This is the final stage where they finally left everything, and they were continually following Him.
Luke 5:1 - And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
Now this has nothing to do with Biblical Greek studies, but I just wanted to share some information about the lake of Gennesaret that's mentioned in this verse. Gennesaret is another name for the Sea of Galilee. The Sea of Galilee is also called the Sea of Tiberius in John 6:1 and John 21:1. So the Sea of Galilee, the lake Gennesaret, and the Sea or Lake of Tiberius are all the same place.
The word "Gennesaret" itself comes from the Hebrew word KANNAR that means heart. And that is because the Lake is heart-shaped. And so, with certain people, at different phases of history, they didn't call it the Sea of Galilee. They called it the lake of Gennesaret because it is in the shape of a heart. So KANNAR is the Hebrew word, and it is where we get the name Gennesaret from.
Luke 5:5 - And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
The word toiled is KOPOS, and that means to work to the point of exhaustion.
Luke 5:6 - And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
The word "brake" is actually an Imperfect Tense in the Greek, which tells us that the net didn't really break because then you would lose your fish. But it was to the point that it was starting to tear. This could have been translated, "and their net began to tear."
Please pray for all of the Jews in Israel that are suffering. Especially all of the young women hostages that are suffering abuse in the caves, and hiding places.
My father has had his second stroke in 2 months, please pray with me for his recovery, and that the Lord would strengthen me and my family in caring for him.
"Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."
Three in the Parable indicates a sign or a tag which the Holy Spirit uses to signify the Son as a sign. So the leaven is the Gospel referring to Jesus Christ as the Word become flesh. Man who keeps the word is "after our likeness" so his soul and spirit and body, till the whole was leavened. Moses refers to this wholeness, and it shall be in thy heart,- "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might."(De.6:5-6). The kingdom of God is about the fulness of God.
"All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them." (v.35)
Parables have the kingdom after our image so the wholeness is called a glorious body, "That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish."(Ep.5:27)
Parables are the means to separate good from the tares and Us from Them.
"That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world"(v.35) This explains the "After our likeness" whereby the seven days carry signs that keep the Word and the Man as Associates as well as after a similitude. 'The seed in itself' on day three is with regards to the word of God. So Jesus faults the Pharisees,"But ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.:( John 8:37) and "But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up".(Matt.15:13) Jesus as a sign was in his birth as well.(Is.7:14). Parable keeps the leavening process across so Principle of Association is set forth in Matt.10:40. The Word as a seed after a similitude works Up and Down.
Please pray for salvation for my family. Jerry, Jordyn, Ryan, Mika & David.
I am praying for all the lost and when I see a request from a brother & sister in Christ asking for prayers for their lost family/friend's I add them to my prayer list.
God Bless you all and may we all fight the good fight.
I pray to God that in this 7-day fasting, and prayer he will send me my helper who will help me out of this stage lord please help and be in your side for every
SCHOOL BOOK August 4, 2024 2 Corithians 1:3-11 KJV
My Respond: COGIC WORSHIP- I worship God, the Father, Christ , who is holy allowing you to be holy, God if love and loves you, God of mercies, comfort, God of compassion, God that heals, God of consolation, God of salvation, God of deliverance, God of Glory.
My prayer this morning for Christians, the church, unbelivers, sinners, will allow to see God, and God work for you.
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
The Word is God and Jesus in his prayer makes clear what Us and Them entailed. Ministry of Jesus began on the human level where the twelve received him as the Word made flesh."They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world." In v.20 Jesus refers to a larger group,"also which shall believe on me through their word." In short 'Thy word' made them Us and the world that refused were enemies to truth. In the beginning was the Word and it made the two groups as predestinated fill in their respective worlds. It is thus the King in the Parable of Jesus dismissed the goats on the left side. " Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:"(Matt.25:41). The word is truth because the Word was God and it shall be thus from everlasting to everlasting.
God created man "after our likeness' sets the pattern or the template where Jesus Christ as the Man is 'only begotten' because of the Word. In short what makes Us is as the v.21 tells, "That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us." Christ was a sign and there cannot be any other sign. The Pharisees who sought a sign belonged to a wicked and adulterous generation. Sign of the times belongs to Them because for them wealth is a social symbol and the only sign on which their world is built up. "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."(1 Co.3:11) Despite of this the imposter churches 'prosperity theology' and other signs. Jesus said," and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas."(Matt.12:39) This sign referred to the death and resurrection of Jesus. What does the sign make Jonah? A double for the Son is it not. Why man was created 'after our likeness'? Moses, Elijah Elijah, David all serve after our likeness. Either we belong to Us or them. No exception.
Praying for a positive answer from the God of heaven and earth to send me a Godly mate. And to make it clear who this man is. I pray he will answer me very soon. In Jesus mighty name amen.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
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.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
O Lord Jesus, How Long
Christ returneth
- James McGranahan
1
It may be at morn, when the day is awaking,
When sunlight through darkness and shadow is breaking,
That Jesus will come in the fullness of glory,
To receive from the world "His own."
Refrain:
O Lord Jesus, how long, how long
Ere we shout the glad song,
Christ returneth!
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Amen, Hallelujah! Amen.
2
It may be at midday, it may be at twilight,
It may be, perchance, that the blackness of midnight
Will burst into light in the blaze of His glory,
When Jesus receives "His own." (Refrain)
3
While its hosts cry Hosanna, from heaven descending,
With glorified saints and the angels attending,
With grace on His brow, like a halo of glory,
Will Jesus receive "His own." (Refrain)
4
Oh, joy! oh, delight! should we go without dying,
No sickness, no sadness, no dread and no crying,
Caught up through the clouds with our Lord into glory,
Hi Gianni's and thank you for your reply to me . Please don't worry about it , I thought that in the way you worded your message , you were limiting the power of God's Holy Spirit , I now realise that wasn't your intention , so that's cleared that up , thank you again and may God bless you .
"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:/Who, being in the form of God,"(Ph.2:6)
Christ Who being in the form of God refers to the Word and how it may applied to man who is created a little lower than angels.
The writer to the Hebrews says, "But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour." (He.2:9). The Word which is God when applied to man must give a pattern whereby man can approach God in terms of his experience as created of dust of the ground. So the tag 'after our likeness' gives a hands on experience within his physical world. "For our God is a consuming fire" The same quality has a spiritual significance as we see in the burning bush that did not consume itself. The Word when applied to man the bush is "after our likeness" and the fire embodies God the Spirit. On the basis 'after our likeness' casts Jesus Christ as the tree of life.
God created man after "our image and after our likeness". After our image explains tripartite nature of soul spirit and body and these perform as one. So Moses exhorts, "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." Next verse refers the three, "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might."(De.6:4-5). With all thy might refers to work of our hands, which is of the body. Soul, spirit and body as one.
"After our likeness" refers love which links man with the Being. How well should we love? With all our might. The Word was with God. Love of God links with Jesus Christ the Man who became flesh. So in what ways we may love God is explained from 'after our likeness. So Jesus is the bread from heaven. His broken body has significance for us when comes to the Lord's table." Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."( John 6:54) The Spirit explains the holy life by setting these two aspects of the Being. ( John 1:1)"
"Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth./My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:/ Because I will publish the name of the Lord."
In continuation of the post titled Thy name we have this key text as spoken by Moses. It is encapsulated by the Lord's Prayer, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." The Spirit gives us a clear demonstration of what is meant by "After our likeness" in putting words of the Son in Moses. He is what the similitude in theological sense delineates. It is similtude of the Lord as the verse makes clear. "With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold."(Nu.11:8). "The words of my mouth" are not parables where God and Moses are concerned. He is after our likeness, as Jesus as the Word made flesh, so we have his doctrine repleted with 'loaded' words as dew, as small rain and the showers. What holds them together? Is it not the river of time sent forth as the word gone forth from the mouth of God? We read "from the waters which were above the firmament" several states so the mist, " But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground"(Ge.2:6;1:7) mist gives over to small showers giving us a lapse of time.
The Spirit makes an unbroken narrative thread from the beginning till eternity. In Ex.15:27 the Spirit gives us 12 wells at Elim."where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters." The number 12 foreshadows Christ exhorting,"In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink." ( John 7:37). What Moses qualifies as 'my speech' refers to him. Up and Down and Across have tags 12 and 70 (7x10) trees of righteouss
God bless you.
"Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are."
We shall accept Holiness as all-inclusive name for 'thine own name" which is on the basis "The Word was God." Virgin Mary stirred by the Spirit defines His name, "Holy is his name." He revealed to Moses, "I am that I am". ( Luke 1:49;Ex.3:14). God gives his own name so the body, the church may be one, "As we are". This pattern explains God was with the Word.
Principle of Similitude sets the realities of heaven and of the earth on a single standard which is the Word become flesh. This is designated as the Man component in whom whosoever heard the call and received Jesus Christ as his Saviour is an associate. This principle is stated in Matt.10:40. " He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me."
In the Parable of the Leaven Jesus sent the Word which spreads from one end of the heaven to another. The Parable is about the kingdom of heaven. "The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened." (Matt.13:33) The everlasting gospel works Up and Down and also Across.

And the word "publican" means a tax collector.
Luke 6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
The word "thank" here is the word grace in the Greek text. It reads what grace do you have?
Luke 6:35 - But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
In the Greek, it's an act of violence. He is violently removed from them, and then shall they fast in those days. He will be taken away, it will be a time of grief, and then they will fast.
Luke 6:37 - And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
Again, the word "bottles" is not what we think in English. The Greek tell us that these are wine skins.
Luke 6:40 - The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
The word "perfect" is the word KARATEIDZO. This is the same word used for the fishermen who were mending their nets when Jesus came to call them.
Luke 5:18 - And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
Again, this word palsy tells us that this man was a paralytic, paralyzed from the neck down. Please don't get the wrong idea about this bed because it was like a cot that just rolls up. And these men, the carriers, we are told in Mark that there were four of them. Four people that brought this paralyzed man to Jesus, and they were seeking the means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
Luke 5:22 - But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
Jesus perceived their thoughts. And you see, they didn't say it out loud, they were thinking it. DIALOGEIDZOMAI is the Greek word. They were dialoguing in their minds. Who does this guy think He is? That is blasphemy. The Lord says "I know what you are thinking." And so, He answering said unto them, "What reason you in your hearts?"
Luke 5:24 - But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
Again, this could be translated (he said unto the paralyzed man).
Luke 5:26 - And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
The Greek work for "strange things" is PARADOXSOS, and it's where we get our word paradox from. What they were literally saying was, "We have seen a paradox today!" In our English text, we can go in many different directions as to what "strange things" might mean.
Luke 6:6 And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.
A man whose right hand was withered. Literally in the Greek, it is shriveled up, or shrunk.
Luke 5:11 - And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.
When they had brought their ships to land, and please notice this: they forsook all. It is called an Aorist Passive Participle in the Greek. It means it was a one-time thing. They turned their back on the old life and never went back. But you have to understand what they turned their back on.
You see, we know that when Jesus called the disciples to follow Him earlier, that they left their father in the boats, and they were following Jesus. In order to completely forsake everything to follow Christ, they are giving up their inheritance because that shipping industry would be passed on to them after their father dies. So, they are leaving their whole future from a human standpoint. All of their inheritance, they forsook it all and followed him.
The word "followed" is in the imperfect tense, meaning they were continually following Him. One time thing! They left all, turned their backs on the old life, and were continually following Him. Now just by way of side note you should know that this is not the first time they've seen Jesus, nor the second. This is at least the third time.
We know that the end of John Chapter 1 that Andrew introduced Jesus Christ to Peter. He says we have found the Messiah. And it was at that time that Peter was introduced to Christ. And they left that scene, and they went back home, and they were in the fishing industry and remember Jesus walked along the shore and called them and says follow me, and they responded. And here they are again. This is the final stage where they finally left everything, and they were continually following Him.
Luke 5:1 - And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
Now this has nothing to do with Biblical Greek studies, but I just wanted to share some information about the lake of Gennesaret that's mentioned in this verse. Gennesaret is another name for the Sea of Galilee. The Sea of Galilee is also called the Sea of Tiberius in John 6:1 and John 21:1. So the Sea of Galilee, the lake Gennesaret, and the Sea or Lake of Tiberius are all the same place.
The word "Gennesaret" itself comes from the Hebrew word KANNAR that means heart. And that is because the Lake is heart-shaped. And so, with certain people, at different phases of history, they didn't call it the Sea of Galilee. They called it the lake of Gennesaret because it is in the shape of a heart. So KANNAR is the Hebrew word, and it is where we get the name Gennesaret from.
Luke 5:5 - And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
The word toiled is KOPOS, and that means to work to the point of exhaustion.
Luke 5:6 - And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
The word "brake" is actually an Imperfect Tense in the Greek, which tells us that the net didn't really break because then you would lose your fish. But it was to the point that it was starting to tear. This could have been translated, "and their net began to tear."
Thank you, and GOD bless you all.
"Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."
Three in the Parable indicates a sign or a tag which the Holy Spirit uses to signify the Son as a sign. So the leaven is the Gospel referring to Jesus Christ as the Word become flesh. Man who keeps the word is "after our likeness" so his soul and spirit and body, till the whole was leavened. Moses refers to this wholeness, and it shall be in thy heart,- "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might."(De.6:5-6). The kingdom of God is about the fulness of God.
"All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them." (v.35)
Parables have the kingdom after our image so the wholeness is called a glorious body, "That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish."(Ep.5:27)
Parables are the means to separate good from the tares and Us from Them.
"That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world"(v.35) This explains the "After our likeness" whereby the seven days carry signs that keep the Word and the Man as Associates as well as after a similitude. 'The seed in itself' on day three is with regards to the word of God. So Jesus faults the Pharisees,"But ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.:( John 8:37) and "But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up".(Matt.15:13) Jesus as a sign was in his birth as well.(Is.7:14). Parable keeps the leavening process across so Principle of Association is set forth in Matt.10:40. The Word as a seed after a similitude works Up and Down.
I am praying for all the lost and when I see a request from a brother & sister in Christ asking for prayers for their lost family/friend's I add them to my prayer list.
God Bless you all and may we all fight the good fight.
SCHOOL BOOK August 4, 2024 2 Corithians 1:3-11 KJV
My Respond: COGIC WORSHIP- I worship God, the Father, Christ , who is holy allowing you to be holy, God if love and loves you, God of mercies, comfort, God of compassion, God that heals, God of consolation, God of salvation, God of deliverance, God of Glory.
My prayer this morning for Christians, the church, unbelivers, sinners, will allow to see God, and God work for you.
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
The Word is God and Jesus in his prayer makes clear what Us and Them entailed. Ministry of Jesus began on the human level where the twelve received him as the Word made flesh."They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world." In v.20 Jesus refers to a larger group,"also which shall believe on me through their word." In short 'Thy word' made them Us and the world that refused were enemies to truth. In the beginning was the Word and it made the two groups as predestinated fill in their respective worlds. It is thus the King in the Parable of Jesus dismissed the goats on the left side. " Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:"(Matt.25:41). The word is truth because the Word was God and it shall be thus from everlasting to everlasting.
God created man "after our likeness' sets the pattern or the template where Jesus Christ as the Man is 'only begotten' because of the Word. In short what makes Us is as the v.21 tells, "That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us." Christ was a sign and there cannot be any other sign. The Pharisees who sought a sign belonged to a wicked and adulterous generation. Sign of the times belongs to Them because for them wealth is a social symbol and the only sign on which their world is built up. "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."(1 Co.3:11) Despite of this the imposter churches 'prosperity theology' and other signs. Jesus said," and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas."(Matt.12:39) This sign referred to the death and resurrection of Jesus. What does the sign make Jonah? A double for the Son is it not. Why man was created 'after our likeness'? Moses, Elijah Elijah, David all serve after our likeness. Either we belong to Us or them. No exception.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
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.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
O Lord Jesus, How Long
Christ returneth
- James McGranahan
1
It may be at morn, when the day is awaking,
When sunlight through darkness and shadow is breaking,
That Jesus will come in the fullness of glory,
To receive from the world "His own."
Refrain:
O Lord Jesus, how long, how long
Ere we shout the glad song,
Christ returneth!
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Amen, Hallelujah! Amen.
2
It may be at midday, it may be at twilight,
It may be, perchance, that the blackness of midnight
Will burst into light in the blaze of His glory,
When Jesus receives "His own." (Refrain)
3
While its hosts cry Hosanna, from heaven descending,
With glorified saints and the angels attending,
With grace on His brow, like a halo of glory,
Will Jesus receive "His own." (Refrain)
4
Oh, joy! oh, delight! should we go without dying,
No sickness, no sadness, no dread and no crying,
Caught up through the clouds with our Lord into glory,
When Jesus receives "His own." (Refrain)
You have beautifully explained that.
God bless,
RLW
Christ Who being in the form of God refers to the Word and how it may applied to man who is created a little lower than angels.
The writer to the Hebrews says, "But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour." (He.2:9). The Word which is God when applied to man must give a pattern whereby man can approach God in terms of his experience as created of dust of the ground. So the tag 'after our likeness' gives a hands on experience within his physical world. "For our God is a consuming fire" The same quality has a spiritual significance as we see in the burning bush that did not consume itself. The Word when applied to man the bush is "after our likeness" and the fire embodies God the Spirit. On the basis 'after our likeness' casts Jesus Christ as the tree of life.
God created man after "our image and after our likeness". After our image explains tripartite nature of soul spirit and body and these perform as one. So Moses exhorts, "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." Next verse refers the three, "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might."(De.6:4-5). With all thy might refers to work of our hands, which is of the body. Soul, spirit and body as one.
"After our likeness" refers love which links man with the Being. How well should we love? With all our might. The Word was with God. Love of God links with Jesus Christ the Man who became flesh. So in what ways we may love God is explained from 'after our likeness. So Jesus is the bread from heaven. His broken body has significance for us when comes to the Lord's table." Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."( John 6:54) The Spirit explains the holy life by setting these two aspects of the Being. ( John 1:1)"
