We are walking in today: Weekend Meditation: The Secret Power Of Lawlessness, Is Already At Work
Witness iniquity throughout the Bible: H5771 `avon meaning lawlessness, perversity, depravity, guilt
Isaiah 1:4, 6:7, 13:11, 14:21, 22:14, 27:9; Jeremiah 16:10; Ezekiel 35:5; Hosea 9:7, 10:13, 12:12; Proverbs 16:6, Job 11:10-11, 11:13-16, 14:17, 15:5, 15:16, 21:19, 24:20; Daniel 9:24; Matthew 7:23; Romans 6:19
In all of our years in reading the Bible, especially the New Testament, it seems that these scriptures were given to us over and over again. The writers are referring back to a previous text. We must know and understand that the Bible is a complete book, from Genesis to Revelation and not able to be split apart nor able to be disregarded due to any personal preference. How could the first be made less than the last? Isn't what is spoken first most often weightier? Things of the greatest import are repeated for our benefit and warning. Yahweh is a fully aware that all He has spoken will come forth. It must be fulfilled--without fail! As we were made in His image and likeness why would He not give us the framework of how to live our lives?! From the first directions given in the garden leading up to the giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai--we have the way we are to go. Could it be possible that we would and could make poor decisions if left to our own devices? Were the early believers that Paul writes to in various letters repeatedly warning not pursue a different faith, a different Jesus, or different instructions than what he has taught by the direction of the Holy Spirit--could they be entangled in the destruction that he desired to prevent? How could this be that he would refer back to the first half of the Bible so often if it is to be disregarded? The living in closer proximity to the earlier text, would show if it was or had been replaced. This false idea did not arise until many years later.
Better yet, the word will always be in agreement with itself for the Author is not double-minded nor tied to human indecision. The danger of writing off the old in preference to the new has a text that is missing much of its content or reference points. Could this be why the current state of many believers lives end up with faith and practices with wide gaping holes throughout that produces a weak and limping fruit?!
Isaiah 52:11 (NKJV) Depart! Depart! Go out from there, touch no unclean thing; Go out from the midst of her, be clean, you who bear the vessels of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 6:17 (NKJV) Therefore “Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.”
So when we look back do we find the text from 2 Corinthians 6:17, show up anywhere else in the older text? Isaiah looks like a fit to me. So could this be the case in other sections of this Bible? We have to know that He is our Father and will repeat what is important for His children to know and understand--for our well-being. Does not an earthly father do the same that his children would learn what is the good and right way to go? How else did we learn if not repeated until we have understanding to avoid those things that would cause us damage or harm?
Leviticus 19:2 (KJV) Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy.
1 Thessalonians 4:3-7 (KJV) 3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; 5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: 6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. 7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
The original instruction was for us to be holy for our Elohim, our God is holy. Then we have Peter giving instruction to that the will of Yahweh is that we would be sanctified, possessing our vessels in honor--Fiveamprayer, He calls us into holiness.
Genesis 1:14 (AMP) And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be signs and tokens [of God’s provident care], and [to mark] seasons, days, and years,Leviticus 19:3 (AMP) 3 Each of you shall give due respect to his mother and his father, and keep My Sabbaths holy. I the Lord am your God.
Galatians 4:9-10 (AMP) 9 Now, however, that you have come to be acquainted with and understand and know [the true] God, or rather to be understood and known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and beggarly and worthless elementary things [of all religions before Christ came], whose slaves you once more want to become? 10 You observe [particular] days and months and seasons and years!
When and what could be these seasons, days appointed by Yahweh? Could they have changed?! Well, while Yeshua walked the earth, He observed them all. Being the Son of God, the Word made flesh having all authority in the Earth and yet He never teaches on the changes of the days or seasons? This would let us know that they have not changed but that His actions support upholding the Lord's feasts, for all time, eternity, forever.
Why is lawlessness such an important word? We have to know that in our Bibles we have this word often translated as iniquity. We have to understand that Yahweh is a King and what He speaks is law! When we break laws in our current society then there is a correction--a fine, jail time or where you have to go before the judge in court. How can our current laws in our society be adhered to more than the laws that uphold the whole world? What greater power is there in the world, in all the universe? By our acceptance to this total disregard of the principles of Yahweh, has placed us unknowingly in the plan of the enemy to advance his lies and deceit. The greatest in the kingdom is those who teach the commandments of Yahweh. Why would they be called great to teach something that has expired? Or the rest of the scripture in Matthew 5:19 that those who teach against His commandments would be called least in the kingdom. This designation on the surface alone should cause us to seek out what commands does Jesus Christ of Nazareth refer to that have the power to promote or demote us in the kingdom? With these words spoken by Yeshua, let's us know the law is not over, nor can it be ever! His word stands even if heaven and earth pass away, so while the whole universe is dissolved-- His word still remains! So taking the approach of man knowing what it best, is leading us to a conflict of what He set forth for the image that He made from the dust of the earth. Now that we know more about this--that it is possible by this mindset, to cause much harm and is very dangerous. This is why it was warned about and taught against that we would not fall for the lies and deceit--the devils smoke and mirrors. The intentions behind words and actions must be seen for a fuller understanding of what is truly in operation at anytime. The enemy is seeking to get back into heaven where he tied to take the throne in a hostile takeover. To his folly, he was defeated and banished to never return to heaven again. The idea become to convince the beings made in the image of Elohim--you and me, to be in disobedience too. This plan was hatched hundreds of years ago and with all of the history clinging to it, appears as a valid way to go. Due to the traditions that appear longstanding and upright, are at best an utter failure with a thin layer of gold to appear as treasure. Fast-foward this diabolical plan that now--not being perpetrated by satanists as one would suppose, but unwittingly by the members of churches who appear to society to be upstanding in every way. We have all been deceived to do the right things for the wrong reasons!! Due to our high value in our intellect, we have come to theorize the proper response and actions all void of scriptural understanding in cultural context--making the situation ripe for any well polished wicked thing to walk right in and lead us further into this devilish debacle!
This weekend take time out to search and seek out understanding of His word, allow the Holy Spirit to reveal to you that which is hidden just below the surface, for the truth is the truth and will always stand! The more you dig the more truth shows up. Which we will find does not happen with lies, they are only so deep and will topple under direct scrutiny-stare down that lie and dig into scripture this weekend and find the ancient path and walk their-in, click here to listen again.
