"And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held." The Spirit shows the temple of God as was in the divine Will to which we could after a similitude set our own body as a living sacrifice. Conclusion is unambiguous. By making man a living soul God has set the context that shall never change. The problem with the nation of Israel was as Jesus faulted them, "but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you."( John 8:37) God commanded how they were to worship him (De.6:6;16:16) " and they shall not appear before the LORD empty." Their heart was not right before God. Consequently the list of martyrs that Jesus refers can go on and the genocidal policies of the nation at present going on in Gaza is just that. How can anyone with good conscience condone it? Yet we see arm merchants doing a roaring sale,- business is business, with one hand and with the other drawing redlines. Who is fooling whom? "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."( John 8:44) The Law of the Spirit and law of sin cannot be compromised. There is only one solution lest the law of sin should ever rear its head in the heart. "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./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." (Ro.12:1-2) For God is the judge. "Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice." (Ps.50:5)
