Musings on the Tough Life Questions

  Summary There is also a subtle phenomenon where many do not understand the Old Testament types and shadows recalled in the Book of revelation. The New Heaven and Earth is the New temple again on Earth where God dwells and tabernacles with us. New Jerusalem is a cube because the Holy of Holies was a cube. Right outside, In the inner court of the temple, there was a Bronze Laver, for the priests to wash their hands. Here is the Shadow :=> The Sea of Brass or Bronze Laver was Made of brass and glass from ladies' mirrors (Ex. 38:8) Here is the Fulfillment: The Word of God is a mirror, Washing to Cleanse from all uncleanness. It is a sea of glass mingled with fire (Rev 4:6; Rev 15:1-2), located outside the Holy of Holies, or outside the New jerusalem, but in the presence of the Lamb and his Holy angels (Rev. 14:11) The Lake of Fire is to purify before entering any further. Temple: The first Temple was the Garden of Eden, the first interface between Heaven, Earth; God a

These were Israel’s, appointed times on the calendar to meet with God. To appear before the Lord, is literally to appear before His face as a community. The first was at Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread (when Barley was harvested), the second was Feast of Harvest (Pentecost, when wheat was harvested), and the third was Feast of Ingathering (The Harvest, Tabernacles, when grapes were harvested). They were not allowed to eat of the harvest, until the Fir

From Shadow to Fulfilled; Types and Anti-Types between the Old vs. New Covenant "Moses did not write that the Israelites should not intermarry with other nations because he thought God was prejudice. He also did not tell them to not mix seed in a field nor to mix different fabrics when they wore clothes because God hates cucumbers and tomatoes growing in the same field or He hated them wearing cotton/polyester blends or linen with silk. No, it is because Moses knew that what God did not like was mixture and this was an Old Testament picture/shadow for us to learn from in the new covenant/substance. When we teach/speak/preach and we mix covenants it brings confusion to the listener and produces double-minded/double covenanted people who are unstable. James 1:8 the word double-minded = two souled, double-minded, a person split in half vacillating like a spiritual schizophrenic (Strongs & R. Lenski). That is some powerful language and yet many believers as well as leaders do thin

*The Unpardonable Sin* What about those  who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit?  Would they never be saved? The "unforgiveable sin" is not rejection of Christ atonement Matthew 12:24 Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.” 27  And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them  out? Therefore they shall be your judges. 28 But if I cast out demons by  the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. 31  “Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men,  but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. 32 Anyone  who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but  whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him,  either in this age or in the age to come. NOTE Pharisees were accusing Christ of casting out devils with the help of the head demon. Christ then asks how do your sons cast th

The bed, anywhere he sits, his clothes, people he spit on ate all unclean.  Any earthen vessel he touches must be broken and any wooden vessels must be washed. Anyone who touches his bed, or his body has to wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.
