The Big PictureGenesis-Revelation
The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our
children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.DEUT.29:29
KEYS TO SCRIPTURES
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old
time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
2Pe 1:20-21All scripture is given by inspiration of God 2 Tim.3:16
God Desires Man to know Him, His will, His purpose, His Plan.
InfiniteGod must reveal Himself unto finite man through the Holy Scriptures
Connecting the Dots from Genesis to Revelation
Ps 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Pr 23:9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
Mt 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Pr 26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
De 4:39 Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath:
there is none elseProphecy is only of God when it is 100% right 100% of the time God gives the test
De 18:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
Walk through Time & HeavensWe will not waste time proving there is a God and that this is His Word, infallible, Complete and without contradiction.
It is has changed lives for centuries as man has tried to destroy it, they have died and gone on, and it still is the number one best seller in the world for all times.
It has been preserved from generation to generation and is the most heavily documented literature in the world, some 20,000 manuscripts including Dead Sea scrolls.
Archaeology proves it every time they turn a shovel, especially in the finds the last few months...the palace of David, even a piece of pottery inscribed 3000 years ago proving the Hebrew Language and King David, as well as Jews rights to Jerusalem.
100% Scientifically accurate: records of things man did not discover for many centuries when they discovered the telescope, microscope...earth being round, planets and stars tabernacle the sun, water cycle, pathways in the seas, life in the blood, disease carrier, and the heart itself keeping everything going.
Unity & transforming power 100% Historically accurate Fulfilled Prophecy Testimony of Jesus Christ Israel the number ONE proof of God
and His Word Deut.4:32-40, Ezek.37God says what willhappen to Israel 2000 years before it takes place exactly like he said it would.
Laying aside the Bible and look at recorded History, in any encyclopedia...

Eze 37:21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: 22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
Hebrews or Jews were slaves in Egypt and came out of there and became the nation of Israel
They settled in the land called Canaan and became a great nation everyone desired to conquer, Assyrian, Babylon, Medo-Persian, Greece-Rome.
No one argues King Saul, Kind David, or King Solomon reigned No one argues the Jews were dispersed off their land in 70 AD by the
Romans and scattered all over the world. That they were persecuted everywhere they went.
God said they would return: they did, May 14th 1948, they would become a nation in One Day...They did, they would take back the borders and Jerusalem, they did...1967
Hebrew language would be restored, Zeph.3:9 It is being taught in their schools...
surrounded by their enemies and the world being told they did not exist anymore...Psa.83
Why would Satan want this world wide confusion and corruption of Israel: to shed doubt on God and His Word...
Isa 66:8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once?for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
God tells us the generation that sees these signs all come to pass is the generation that will see him return...
Mr 13:29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. 30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. (KJV)

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2 TM.3:16
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2Pe 1:20-21
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this
book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his
part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things
which are written in this book.
Re 22:18-19
1Co 10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to
the church of God:
{3 separate groups)
Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
1Pe 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; (Vain conversation; vain life; their vain reliance on the ceremonies of the law and the traditions of the father. It may be the duty of persons to change their religion although it has come down to them from their ancestors, and is supported by ancient traditions; and in many cases, unless they do change it, they will lose their souls)
2 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.3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
Introduction:Food for thought
Our position should never be based upon who is for or against a teaching....neither denomination,religion, race, orthe relationship we might have with a person...teacher or Minister
God gave us the ability to think and a measure of faith to believe, a guide in the Holy Spirit, if saved, and a BIBLE...On what or whom do you
want to base your Eternal SOUL?ROM.12:1-3The scriptures instruct us to rightly divide the word of truth. We know that each verse must be .understood in its place in time, culture, and to ...whom it was written...as well as in harmony with the rest of scriptureStudy to shew thyself approved unto God, a ...workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Work- Effort-Labor-Time .......................2Ti 2:15Then as we labor toward the end we will become fully persuaded in our mind. Rom.14:5
One man esteemeth one dayabove another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
WHAT IF?
Let us put away our denomination,And traditions of man, and open up the Word of God.Major Principles OF Bible Study:
1. Know the Author intimately 1 Cor.2:10-14
4
Isa 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:
Mt 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in
exchange for his soul?
Traditions? Rituals? Heritage?
But the natural man (Unsaved) receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
2. Make sure there is no un-confessed sin in your life, so not to break fellowship and communion...1Jn.1:9-10, Psa.66:18
3. Seek guidance of Holy Spirit, your teacher. 1Jn.1:9-10, Jn.14:26,16:13 (right motive is most important: James 4:3
4. Law of Interpretation: common sensea. One Literal interpretationb. Many Applications or Spiritual Lessonsc. Prophecy : always revealed in scriptured. Typical or Symbolic : always revealed in scripture
5. Rightly dividing scriptures according to:a. Time, dispensation or covenantb. Ethnic: Jew, Gentile or Church1 Cor.10:32c. CONTEXT with rest of chapter and book d. Distinctions made by God : Law or Grace, Gospel of Grace or Gospel of Kingdom,
Kingdom of Heaven or Kingdom of God, Creature of God or Child of GodOld or New Testament
Principles: Law of first mention, stated once means same thing throughout.
Progressive: makes the revelation and then adds more details till clear...
Double Reference: Passage applies, now and future... in greater or lesser manner
The Bible is a Jewish Book, Jewish Time, &Jewish Culture: Jesus was a JEWJesus Christ in Every book: All centered in His-StoryBird’s Eye ViewKeep this in mind: The New Testament is hidden in the Old Testamentand the Old Testament is revealed in the New Testament...The Bible, though a book of books, is one book, one author (God) with one continual theme...Jesus Christ and God’s Plan of redemption for all Ages
Example: There 879 verses in the book of John and 660 are directly related to the Feast Days in Exodus and Leviticus. Every Feast Day in gospel of John Jesus Christ is not only physically attending these feasts, and carrying .OutEACH ritual ...HE WAS PREFIGURED IN EACH ONE AND HAD COME TO FULFILLTHEM..The type and the antitype come together in one person the Son of God.What an awesome Book, no one but God could have written it...

Every word in the Hebrew and Greek language has a numerical value.
Therefore every number in the scriptures has a meaning...
Sometimes a word is used a number of times in one sentence: the number reveals the meaning
examples;The numerical value of the letters in the name of
Jesus Christ is 888
The numerical value of the word door is 4.
Hebrew meaning: the open door speaks of man’s conduct & obligation regarding his fellowman and his relationship to God...Jesus said: Joh 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. Re 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.(to world-died for world-4#of the world)

Middle verse: 594 before and 594 after... Psa. 118:8 It is better to trust
in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
Ps 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy
word above all thy name.

Most of these numbers are found in the construction of the Tabernacle & the Temple, as well as in the constellations & Pyramid...even the ages of some of the men hold a mystery.Satan is forever coming up with ways to corrupt the things of God: such as Numerology-and Astrology, all from the pits of hell...
Keep in the mind the pattern of 7 and the 7000 years of man’s labor before the rest...Keeping also in mind that every name, person, place or thing, has a meaning as well... Is it purely speculation or coincidence or factual? You be the judge.

Seven StagesOf ChurchIn Names
Eternity Past
Ps 90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst
formed the earth and the world,
even from everlasting to
everlasting, thou art God.
Ps 102:27 But thou art the same, and
thy years shall have no end.
Isa 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me thereis no God.
De 33:27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust outthe enemy from beforethee;and shall say, Destroy them.
Eternity Future
1Ti 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
Re 1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come.....
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Example: 2Sa 9:1 And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake?
Mephibosheth: (shame destroy). Lame, helpless, from a fall
Machir: place of Bondage, without hope
Lodebr: in the wilderness.
King sent for him and restored all he had lost and he spent the rest of his days living in the Kings house and feasting at the kings table...He was saved for Jonathan’s sake.
Message: Man is lost from the fall and without hope, helpless in the world, in bondage to sin, headed for destruction and God desires to save him saved for Christ’s sake and bring him into his kingdom to spend eternity feasting at his table...

Eternity Past: Eternal Purpose Things settled in Heaven...Before Foundation of the World : Plan for all Ages
Redemption Plan through Jesus Christ

Eph 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to thepurpose of himwho worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
Eph 3:11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
2Ti 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purposeand grace,which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
Re 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
1Pe 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before thefoundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Israel & Church Gentiles
1Co 10:32 Give none offence, neither to the
Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
{Gentiles: Gr. Greeks}God has an eternal
purpose & PlanThe LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I
have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand: This is thepurposethat is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations. For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?Isa 14: 24, 26-27
That Eternal Purpose: Eph 1:10 That in the . .dispensation of the fulness of times he mightgather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; evenin him:
Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.1Co 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
Why?Very SimpleGod is Love and God created man to love, to bring him glory, for his pleasure and that man
Would choose to love GodHe creates man in His image, so He would have a choice, or free will...for without choice
Thereis no love, no glory, no fellowship
11
Eph 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ,
both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:(When the
time periods are over)
1Jo 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Isa 43:7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory , I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
Re 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
De 6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Mr 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
For man to be tested there would have to be:I. TIME: a beginning and an end of the trialsII. There would have to be CHOICEIII. There would have to be KNOWLEDGEIV. A WAY to come to God when he fails, ormisses the mark. (sin)V. A NEED for God...a PLAN...a PURPOSEVI. CONSEQUENCES for choice
I. Time: 7000 yearsDeclaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Isa.46:10
God cuts out 7000 years and calls it TIME, it began with man and for man....Eternity has no beginning and no end...
We have no idea how long it was after God created the earth before Lucifer rebelledWe have no idea how long the earth was covered in water and darkness or even ice
The only time we can document is the time for Adam, which would have been 4000 before Christ was born....Between Eternity past and Eternity Future God cut out 7000 years to test man...
He divided it into 7 Time Periods called DISPENSATIONS...a time period where man is tested under different circumstances, so he will stand before God without excuse. Rom.1:20
God tests man or tries him, to show him his need of God and without God He has no hope. He cannot make it on his own...God knows what man will do, He desires man to see his need through the trials and test of life. He fails every tests and judgment falls at the end of each Dispensation:Then a New One begins...Mercy of God
Each Dispensation has the following:1. A trial, or test of Obedience: Covenant agreement
12
Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? 6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Ge 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them
1Th 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the
2. Consequences of disobedience3. Judgment that will fall for disobedience 4. New Beginning
God sets up His pattern, and Time for Man....based on Seven which means complete, perfection...6 Days of Labor-1 of Rest ...Sabbath Rest Gen.2:3,Ex.16:26, 23:12, Lev.23:36 Dispensations of Labor...1 Rest (Kingdom) Eph.1:10. 3:2. Col.1:25
6 thousand years of labor-1 thousand Kingdom Rest: Rev.20. 2Pet.3:8.Psa.90:4
6 years plant ground-I year Sabbath rest for land Ex.23:10, Lev.25:36 years man slave-7th year set freeEx.21:2, Deut.15:12
7000 years recorded in the Bible: 4000 From Adam to Jesus Christ2000 From Jesus Christ to now1000 Kingdom 7000 years (Incarnation)Time is calculated by Jesus Christ: BC before Christ...AD the year of the Lord
II.Choice: Good or Evil? Since man was created in the image of God, A .moral being. A spirit, with a soul. living in a
body.With A will to choose
For by him (Jesus) were all things created, thatare in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and .invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions,or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Col 1:16-17
We know He created the angelic host first .because they shouted and sang his praises when he laid the foundation...
Angels have a choice as well,though they werenot created in the image of
God...once they make a choice no turning back.
He created them to worship him, serve him, and to be ministers to his own...Heb 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Guardians-Messengers...they can be entertained unaware-Heb.13:2, receives the believing departing saints Lk.16:22, they appear as men and are all male gender...
(no female angels-no children angels-man never turns into an angel)

Ge 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (He created it PERFECT)2 And the earth was (Became) without form, and void; (TOHU BOHU) and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters (moved: rachaph, Heb.to brood over, stirred up)
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Cherubim-Seraphim-Messenger Angels...Angels are not to be worshipped Col.2:18 and an un-fallen angel will not receive worship... A Fallen angel willMichael-Gabriel-Lucifer are named in the Bible...
Michael: special angel assigned to be the Prince of Israel and leads the army of . God...under the Captain of the Host, who is Jesus Christ himself. Joshua 5, Dan.12, Rev.12
Gabriel is God’s messenger who stands in his presence...It is He who announced to Mary that she would bear Christ and also to assist Daniel (Dan.8)
Lucifer being the most wise and most beautiful of them all, rebelled because of PRIDE and SIN came into the world. Ezek.38, Isa.14...Rev.12
God did not create evil-he did not cause sin,nor can He tempt any with sin Ja.1:13 Lucifer and 1/3 of the angels that followed him had a choice...Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said . in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
God Said, 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.Future! God created HELL for the Devil and His angels, but they are still free roaming the earth Matt.25:41...
Eze 28:15 Thou (Lucifer) wast perfectin thy ways from the day that thou wast created,till iniquitywas found in thee.
God did not destroy Lucifer at this time, for the evil would give the man choice...Eternal Life or Eternal Death?
Somewhere in the dateless past before God created man, Lucifer became Satan the Adversary...cast out of heavens to earth, possibly causing the flood seen in Gen.1:2-3
Created (Heb. BARA) used 3 times: spoke into existed out of nothing:
14
Isa 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself
that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it
not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there
is none else.
Isa 24:1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it
waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the
inhabitants thereof.
Jer 4:23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the
heavens, and they had no light.
Ge 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years
TIME!
Heavens and the earth (Gen.1:1)Animal Life (Gen, 1:21)Man (Gen.1:27)Was: can also mean became in Hebrew (hayah)67 timesin Bible -66 times (Becometh) same word in HebrewWithout form and void: Tohu Bohu and means a divine act of judgment causing darkness, and emptiness...without any form...only used three times in scripture, each time meaning divine judgment because of sin & rebellion...
God tells us in Isaiah He did not create the earth .this way, he created it to be inhabited.
1st Picture of SALVATION in Creation itself Perfection: rebellion -sin Chaosbrings Divine judgment Spirit moves (broods over) Let there be light in the darkness Renewed-Salvation in Gen.1:1-3
Let there- (Heb. Asher) means to make visible-to uncover- is used for:
the Light 1:3the firmament 1:6waters gathered 1:9Dry land appear 1:9
Plant life uncovered 1:10-13Light was already there here the light holders were made.1:1Light Holders: so time, seasons and signs be known: TIME for MAN
Ps 104:30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit,they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.(re-new make new again)
Now God would create man and manwould have a choice He tells man in the Old TestamentDe 30:15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in theland which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.De 30:19-20
He tells man in the New TestamentJoh 3:15 That whosoever believethin him should not perish, but have eternal life.
15
Joh 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shallnot see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Rev. 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Ro 10:9 That if thou shaltconfess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (Choice)
Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
God wants man to know him and how to spend eternity with him. He revealed it on every page of His book.
Before the book there was the one on one as the Lord walked and talked with man in the garden...Gen.3:8...He talked with man audibly for years...
There was the message in the stars, in fact the complete story of JesusChrist from birth to thevirgin: Virgo...His conquering the serpent- to the coming to set up His Kingdom on earth, as King of Kings, Lion of the tribe of Judah: Leo...study later...
God has a witness in creation-stars-stones-scriptures-servants
They passed the word on down through the families from Father to son, Adam living through the birth of Noah’s father...Methuselah living 969 years...
The Lord appeared as the Angel of the Lord...There was always a witness, just like in the Garden of Eden, God seeks man and reveals himself to man...
Several times he tells Moses to write these words, his words in the book...Ex. 17.34.Deut.27
He inspires the Old Testament Jewish writers, prophets, Kings, just as He did the New Testament Writers. (All Jewish)
God set a time limit-and divided it into seven parts to make it easy for man to understand...God test man for man’s own good... God already knows what man will do and what decision
he will make...GOD IS OMNISCIENT: all knowing...
16
Jesus said: Joh 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.Lu 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. (Old Testament was all about Jesus Christ)Lu 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. Ro 3:1-2 (Paul)
The basic test is the same, OBEDIENCE the circumstances are different so to leave manwithout excuse and cause man to see HE NEEDS the SAVIOR< JESUS CHRIST

Heb 7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh
unto God.
Heb 7:22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
Heb 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
Heb 9:23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Heb 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
Heb 11:40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
Mt 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, ...then (KJV)
Mt 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come....future
3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery;4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledgein the mystery of Christ) 5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christby the gospel:Fellowheirs: Share, not re-place
Partakers: Share in, not re-place“Not taking away-fulfilling & Sharing”Eph 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Col 1:25 Whereof I (PAUL) am made a minister, according to the dispensation ofGod which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
Mt 5:17-18 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Ga 3:24 -25 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
Ro 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. Law was necessary!!!!Ro 5:13 For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Ga 4:4-5 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

Written and prophesied by Jeremiah to Israel
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new
covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I
made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I
was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant
that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their
inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and
they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his
neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for
they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them,
saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin
no more. (Jer.31:31-34)
Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come , saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
Under this new dispensation and New Covenant it is so much Better for
JEW & GENTILE who become one. A new Creature: Christian1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
Ga 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Ga 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
After the time of “fullness of the gentiles”, when the church is complete, we will be taken to heaven. Rev.4-5...church in Heaven safe: before Tribulation begins. Rev.6-19, church not mentioned till we return with Christ to earth in Rev.19...
TRIBULATION IS NOT A DISPENSATION FOR THERE IS NO TEST: IT IS JUDGMENT TIME8. New Covenant: Jer.31:31-34 also made with theIsrael as was the Old Covenant (or TESTAMENT)Un-conditionalFirst one came at Mt.Sinai (Law) & last one Mt. Calvary (Grace) This New Covenant Rest upon the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and secures the eternal blessedness under the Abrahamic Covenant Gal.3:13-29

1Co 11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
Ex 6:6 Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments: 7 And I will take you to me for a people, and I willbe to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
4 is number of world & Door 5 times he says I will, 5 # of Grace
Ga 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Mt 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Blood & Cups& CovenantsHeb 9:18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. (Life: Life of innocent) Heb 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
Heb 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Heb 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; (IT IS FINISHED)
Heb 13:20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant...
Heb 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
JEWS understood the cups: There were 4 cups at Passover meal which Jesus Christ had just finished; now establishing the Lord’s Supper, which would be a Memorial till he returns
Lu 22:17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:Lu 22:20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cupis the new testament in my blood, which is shed foryou.
These cups are used every Passover by the Jews since Egypt... In Exodus and we find their meaning...
Cup One: Cup of Sanctification (Chosen)Cup Two: Cup of Deliverance (Rescue from Bondage)
21
Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Ga 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Ga 3:7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
Ga 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Cup Three: Cup of Redemption(Paid the Price)Cup Four: Cup of Acceptance(Mine: a treasure to me)
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;Take note he doesn’t finish the last cup: at which time He will bring them unto himself...(Eph.1:6-7)
Mt 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. ( Redemption cup, 3rd cup) He stops here... 29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. (Yet to come, in the Kingdom)
Jesus Christ had prophesied unto the Jews Mt.23: Heart- broken over Israel for rejectionMt.24: Temple will be torn down (40 yrs later by Romans)Mt.24:Tribulation-Antichrist (Abomination of Desolation)Return of Christ and the lost taken away and saved remainMatt.25: Israel Judged(10 virgins) Judgment of Gentile nations (Sheep or Goats)Matt.26:Then the Kingdom on earth where he will sit down with them and drink from the last cup “I will take you to me for a people and I will be your God” Ex.6:7Israel has been without a Priest- a sacrifice-a temple -and for the most part still does not understand why the Old Testament is set aside:Christians share all the blessings of this New Covenant, made with the Jews. (Eph.2:11-20)We share the inheritance and covenant promises through union with Jesus Christ...
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.Ro 8:17
This Covenant runs beyond the Kingdom unto the New Heavens and New Earth...Everlasting Covenant...

8 # 0f New Beginning....
7th Final Dispensation is the Kingdom Age 1000 Yrs.From the Second Coming of Christ in Revelation 19-White Throne Judgment
(Rev.20...Psa.2...Psa.11)Obey: King Jesus Christ, total submission & worship who will be sitting on the throne in Jerusalem, in the Temple...Ezek.40-48No war-Prosperity-health-long life...Rule of Christ as King of Kings and Lord of Lords;
One system of Government and Spiritual: Jesus Christ head of all. Israel head of all nations...Satan and Demons in pit so cannot temp man to sin...Church ruling and reigning with Christ.
All Covenant promises made by God are fulfilled in the kingdom...The purpose of this Dispensationis to show man that Satan cannot make him do anything, he cannot blame him,
it is a heart problem, he is without excuse...Rom.1 Jer 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Fact: Man fails and when Satan is released, man follows him in the last rebellion against God. Rev.20:7-9
Then Jesus Christ will judge the Lost of all ages-living and deadWhite Throne Judgment- casting them into Lake of Fire
WithSatan &his army of fallen angels, the antichrist and false prophet...Rev.20Purges the earth and heavens: 2 Pet.3:10-13 ... New Heaven and New Earth...Isa.65:17
Then the New Jerusalem can sit down upon earthand all will dwell together with God for eternity. (Rev.21-22)
Isa 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and theformer shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
Now we have seen that God does all thingsin an orderly fashion, a pattern develops revealing the big picture the end from the beginning...Why? To enable man to study God’s Word, by rightly dividing it...
Man most often chooses to spiritualize it, for his own agenda, and leaving it open to any and all interpretationhence over
42,000 denominations& growing.There is only one literal interpretation...
23
2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
Ro 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
De 30:6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. Jer.4:4..9:24-26
1Co 7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
(same with baptism-communion-ect)
Mt 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Mt 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
The Bible is God’s way of informing man that he is lostand without hope, and God has made a way throughJesus Christ to come unto Him...The Only WayMan confuses RELIGION with RELATIONSHIPYou cannot say we are all children of
God for thatdemands a birth...
You can say however . that we are all
children of Adam, born in his image,
with a sin nature
Why am I lost?Ro 5:12 Wherefore, as by one
man sin entered into theworld, and death by sin; sodeathpassed upon all men,forall have sinned:ADAM wascreated In God’s image and without sin nature. Gen.1We are born in Adam’s image after he sinned...Gen.5
Jesus says: We must be born again...John 3:3, 7...
24
1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abidethfor ever.
Dispensation: INNOCENCEGen.1:28-3:6
Creation to FallResponsibility was to believe God and Obey him (will to choose)Placed in a Garden with all provisions, in perfect weather, no weeds or thorns or thistles, no rain, a beautiful wife...Will man obey God and not listen to Satan, under these circumstances...
Test & Consequences: Ge 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. (CONSEQUENCES of DISOBEYING OR SIN, AGAINST GOD)
Man could never say to God , well I had to work all the time and the elements were all against me...In fact the Lord visited them and walked and talked with them in the cool of the day. Gen.3:3
Edenic CovenantGen.1:28-30...2:15-17
Replenish Earth: to have childrenSubdue the earth: bring it under his dominion, including all animals..Vegetable only dietTo dress the gardenTo keep the Garden
Dress: Heb. Abad, means to till, to work it, a husandman (farmer) EASY TASKS
Keep: Heb. Shamar, means to guard, protect and hedge about from outside threat... (From what if not Satan?)
Conditional: IF you eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, you will die...Death; physical & spiritual
Adam & Eve sinned, they died spiritually immediately, sin separates from God...as well as curse of physical death
Let’s start in the Beginning: Time 4000 years before Jesus Christ’s birth
God created man and woman and they were both innocent, then God established marriage and family... 1st Dispensation & First Covenant
Lost: Now conscious of sin, ending the Dispensation of innocence, now man wasguilty, ashamed, and fearful, thingshe had never experiencedbefore ... all products of sin
Eve was deceived and the Lord tells us His bride, the church:2Co 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused
you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty,
so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
1Co 15:47 The first man (Adam) is of the earth, earthy: the second man
25
Dispensation: ConscienceGen.3:7-8:15
Fall-Flood
Responsibility: To abstain from all known evil and do to all known good...
from the their Knowledge of good and evil.
Test: Will man obey according to his . conscience?
Soon we see man choses to do evil...Man is outside the garden now and
forbidden to enter.
Fruits of Sin natureCain refuses to approach God with the blood sacrifice: false religion trying to
appease God with works...Kills brother in jealous anger and refuses to
accept the will of God...God supplies a Substitute: Seth
Ge 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his
heart was only evil continually...this brought about the flood...
Man’s conscience wasn’t enough, he would have to have government and established
boundaries...
Noah found Grace & 8 souls were on the Ark...New Beginning
Adamic CovenantGen.3:14-19

Curses on Serpent: instrument of SatanCurse on Satan Judgment on Eve: and all women
Pain in childbirthSorrow in Motherhood

Curse on creation itself: Romans 8:22 tells us, it groans to be delivered.
Promise of Redeemer: Ge 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Coats of skin to cover their sin: A divinely provided innocent sacrifice (substitute ) and garment for man... Jesus Christ & Robe of Righteousness..
Each sacrifice of Blood, was an outer act of faith...showing the inner work in the heart or soul...done by the male head of family.

Before we continue let’s see what God wants us to learn from these true stories;2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Re 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. 3 ½ years of Tribulation
Re 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
Woman is Israel Eagles wings: GRACE (Ex.19:4. Isa.40:31)
The place is Petra (The Rock) spoken of as Jesus Christ
Re 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
10. Cain: mere man, trying to get to God by the works of his own hands...of the devil, a liar and murderer...1 Jn.3:12, Jn.8:44, False Religion...
11. Abel: a Shepherd slain by His brother for doing right, because of jealousy, envy...

Dispensation: Human Government
Noah was given responsibility to govern for God, righteously...and approach God through sacrifice....Gen.8:15-11:32
God adds capital punishment because of the sanctity of life and the Cainite civilization before the flood, had no respect for life or marriage. Gen.4:16-24, Gen.6
Test: Will man obey God’s laws and rule man for God?
One family...One God ...One language...
Man takes it in his own hands to establish his own government and his own religion in complete defiance to God’s authority...
Man exalts himself: Ge 11:4
And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name,lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
Tower of Babel (Confusion) became the Cradle of Idolatry-Cradle of Apostasy-Cradle of Astrology and false Religion all over the world...
First Mother/Son worship, Queen of Heaven and the first man worshiped as God the father; Unholy Trinity’
Nimrod: Anti God the FatherSemeramis: anti God the Holy SpiritTammuz: anti God the SonThe world became full of Idolatry when God dispersed them. God knew and he had it covered in next dispensation.

Atonement in Old Testament and reconciled in the New Testament Lev.17:11
Type of believer’s position in Christ
And the Holy Spirit... Eph.4:30 Sealed till redemption of body
Eph.1:1-14,
Man failed terribly through this test and Dispensation ends in judgment like always....but the Grace of God shows up...like always
New Beginning with 8 people, 8 is number of new beginning, God adds Government... He established guide lines for man...again will man obey?

Natural order of seasons will continue
They were to be fruitful and spread out and replenish the earth
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them ...For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. (IDOLATRY)
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; {to retain: or, to acknowledge} {a reprobate...a mind void of judgment or, an unapproving mind, without value}
Rom.1:18-28
Big changes took place during this dispensation that changed the world. 1.Nations were formed, Gen.10 God’s plan to judge the nations as a whole rather than destroy all humanity again...He placed them where he wanted them for a purpose.
2.Man rejected the rule of God and set about to build his own world power, his own government. The first antichrist with the desire to rule the world was

Dispensation of Promise
Abraham-Egyptian Bondage
Man’s responsibility
Test: Obedience, to stay in the Land God gave him and not go into Egypt (world)
To be a separate People unto the Only True God & witness the blessings of
serving Him.
Failure: when famine came Abraham doubted God and went into the world of
Egypt-idolatry
Brings out a Egyptian Maiden HagarWhich would bring 4000 years of bloodshed to Israel (Arab-Israeli wars)Consequences: Gentile Bondage, 430 years all of Israel were slaves in Egypt, Where they turned to idolatry Gen.15.14- Ex.1
A big distinction is made from now on as God divided the tongues and the nations. Now He makes a distinction between all the nations and Israel.

Ge 13:15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. 16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
Boundaries established:Gen.15:18-21Dan to Beersheba-Ezek.48
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Lu 17:28-30
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

The Jewish nation has been hated, chastened and persecuted more than any other nation in the world...the greatest time of anti-Semitism is about to take place. Zech.12-14 ...All nations will come against Israel...Sign of Covenant: Circumcision: all males on 8th day...number of new beginning...It was to mark them as separate people, set apart for God...a sign of purity, as well as possession: you are my people...Deut.30:6...Jer.9:25-26
This too became a ritual...if it was not of the heart, then not of God. When personal RELATIONSHIP becomes RELIGION it becomes a stench to the nostrils of GOD.
Ro 2:25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. 26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?Ro 2:27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? 28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
The next covenant and dispensation brought it down to the very heart of each individual Jew, rather than a nation...the law would and does reveal SIN is personal and against GOD...heart matter...saying the same thing to the Christians and the church today. Rev.3:14-22Sin: means Missing the MarkNote: in the giving of the Law we see the very holiness of God. Holiness he demanded. God desired and still desires man to see he cannot be holy and do anything to become holy. God set a high

De 28:13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shallnot be ashamed. (Psa.118:22, Isa.8:14,28:16)Mosaic Covenant merges with the Palestinian (Deut.30:1-10), as well as the Davidic Covenant (2Sam.7:8-19) with Israel...
Promise and consequences follow:Mosaic: If they would obey the Law they would be greatly blessed: Ex.19:5,6..Lev.26:3. Deut.28-29
De 29:9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
Consequences for disobedienceDeut. 28-30. Lev.26:3They would be dispersed off their land and taken into bondage by Gentile World Powers. Deut.28-30
De 28:64 And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
De 28:37 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.
They would have no peace and live in constant fear...

Kingdom on Earth: King of Kings Rev.19:11-21
Isa 9:6-7 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Isa 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. Isa.11:1-10
Rev.20 tells us 6 times it will be a period of 1000 years. Psa.96:9-10. 98:9 Psa.78:8-11
Rev.19: King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. Why? Because they sought it
not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;

They had a visible witness of the Lord and God sent them prophets to reveal His will...
The gentiles continue under theDispensation of Conscience & Human Government.They revel in their own government and their own man made religions & idol worship. For 2000 yearsthey are set aside as God deals with the nation ofIsrael. Judaism was the one and only true Faith.The only hope for a gentile at this time was to become a Jewish Proselyte...
(During this present age (Church) there is no difference between a Jew and Gentile: the only hope for either is they become a Christian)
Gentile condition..................................................................................JewCondition
Ro 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:All the Old Testament Prophets knew was Israel: they didn’t know the Mystery of God, the church age, that the gentiles would someday share their inheritance, be partakes of their blessings, under the new Dispensation of Grace and the New Covenant...we will cover later.
Israel had a great witness of Jesus Christ from the very first promise of him in Gen.3:15
41
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the
commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having
no hope, and without God in the
world:Eph 2:12
Ro 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were
thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was
darkened.
They knew HE was coming and that he would die in their place and set up a Kingdom for them on earth. Like the gentile, the Jews are without excuse...
They had the witness of Creation..........................They had a witness in Tabernacle& TempleGod spoke to them audibly....................................They had Moses & ProphetsThey had the witness of stars & stones.................................They had a visible presenceThey had the witness of Feast days ............................They had the witness of the sacrificesWord of mouth: passed from Father to Son.............They had the Old Testament Scrolls
Brief summary:God has an eternal purpose, and an eternal plan to fulfill his purpose. Being Omnipotent, He lays it all out before he even lays down the foundation of the earth. He knew who would fail him and who wouldn’t.
He didn’t guess or second guess or watch to see what happens and then decide. He didn’t have to test man to see what man would do for he knew what man would do before he even created him. Everything will come to pass exactly as he knew it would. In fact he speaks of it as done...He like any artist, can see the finished picture and is stroking the brush to bring it alive on the canvas...
Lucifer became Satan and took his army with him to become the demons and seducing spirits in the world. The war was declared and the outcome decided before the first battle. We win!
Adam and Eve sinned and since they are the father and mother of the whole human race, we were born with the sin nature passed from father to child. The plan to redeem fallen man and all he lost was also finished before the foundation of the world. Jesus Christ would come and pay the price for man’s sin.
God knew every child that would ever be born and he knew whether they would choose him or reject him. He gave them a will to choose and set before life and death, knowing which they would choose.
He cut out a slice of eternity and called it Time... 7000 years for man to be tested. Man needed a beginning and end. Man was given a measure of faith, an inward need for God. Man not being complete without God seeks to fill that need with worldly things that can never satisfy the soul.
He would allow test and trials and tribulations upon man to get him to realize his very need for God...and that man would stand before him without excuse.He gave man all the witness and knowledge that he needed as God revealed himself and his plan in every way...Natural: creation itself and supernatural: the very Word of God in flesh and in printed page.
42
Adam and Eve failed and tried to cover their sin. But God rich in mercy made them Coats of Skins, a blood sacrifice to cover their sin...which represented Christ ONE MAN FAILS
Cain shows the terrible effects of sin -trying to get to God through works of his own, lying& killing of his own brother Abel, which shows the battle between the righteous and the un-righteous. God giving Cain the chance to repent and come under the Blood...which represented Christ.
Noah finds grace in a world full of evil. So evil God is about to destroy them all. He obeys God and preaches for 120 years. Enoch before he is raptured telling the people of Jesus Christ coming...the flood comes and only 8 souls are saved and a new beginning...Arc saving them from the judgment waters speaks of Jesus Christ...
Man fails again setting up his own government that would continue throughout the ages till Christ comes to set up the Kingdom on earth. They set up false religions that eventually fill the world with lies. Gentile world powers full of greed and power hungry men influenced by Satan to set up his kingdom on earth. Satan still desires to be God and rule the world. He begins with the first antichrist Nimrod and his first kingdom Babel-Babylon...He works through nations of the world and men who desire to rule it-Assyria-Babylon-Persia-Greece-Rome, eventually ending with the last Nimrod, the last antichrist, whom Satan himself will possess during the Tribulation. He will rule the last gentile world power or new World Order... the earth full of idolatry-false religions, ONE FAMILY FAILS
God calls out Abraham to fulfill his plan of redemption for all man-kind, and he sets aside the gentiles for 2000 years...
Abraham will father the nation of Israel through his son Isaac, and Later Jacob...Abraham makes the mistake of not waiting on God’s promise and has a son with Hagar, Ishmael, the father of Arab nations which are Moslem, and hate Israel to this day. They continue to fight over the land and the birthright and will till Jesus Christ comes to set up kingdom on earth.
Abraham and wife have Isaac, who eventually with wife Rebekah...give birth to twins, Esau the eldest and Jacob the youngest. They represent the mere natural man in the world (First-born) and the spiritual man (Born again) in the world. God had already told Rebekah before she gave birth that they would be a struggle but the elder would serve the younger. The born again would receive the inheritance-the blessings-birthright...Rebekah and Jacob, did not wait on God, buttook it into their own hands. Esau selling his birthright to Jacob, and then losing the blessing through the deception of his mother and Jacob. This too causing many years of bloodshed and hatred between the Edomites, Esau’s descendants (Palestinians & Jordanians, Pilate &Arafat)
43
Note: Esau seeing his wives did not please his father Isaac for they were Canaanite’s...went to Ishmael and married his daughters, Gen.28, Now having Arab-Palestinians, later in 6th century becoming Moslem. Mohammed came from Ishmael.
Abraham sent all his sons away, and gave the inheritance to one son, Isaac, as he was told by God. Gen.25:5-6. Heb.1:2
God confirms the Covenant with Isaac and then with Jacob, changing Jacob’s name to Israel (Gen.32)
Jacob reaped what he had sown by deceiving his father Isaac and tricking his brother Esau. He spent years with his father-in-law who was a trickster as well...Jacob worked 7 years for his wife Rachel and Laban gave him Leah and her handmaids...Then Jacob worked another 7 years (Laban calls a week of years) for Rachel and her handmaids...From these four women the 12 sons were born...the youngest two of Rachel, his beloved.

Jacob heads back to the promised land andto Bethel (house of God) place of Blessing.Jacob’s 12 sons would be the Nation of Israel and they were told by God to stay in thePromised Land God gave them, serve the One True God. They failed (ONE NATION FAILS)There was much sin in the family and much heart break for Jacob...especially when his wife Rachel dies. Her two sons become his favorite. Especially Joseph... which causes great jealousy among the brothers...as we remember Jesus brothers rejected him because of jealousy.
44
Ro 9:17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
Joseph was given a special coat of many colors: Only the very elite, the highly favored wore a garment like this.
Joseph is one of the greatest types of Jesus Christ in the Bible, the parallels are many...1. Father’s beloved Son...Gen.37, Jn.3:35 2. Hated by his own. ...Gen,37:4, Jn.15:23. His Own set out to kill him...Gen.37:18, Mt.26:3-44. Nothing sinful recorded, though we know Joseph was a sinner.5. Prophecies to his brother’s that they all will bow to him one day Gen.376. When rejected and sold by his own, he turned to the gentiles7. HE TOOK A GENTILE BRIDE...GEN.41...EPH.5. 1 COR.11:28. Went from being the most favored in His father’s house, to the pit, the prison and then
the Palace, wearing the crown...AND THE LORD WAS WITH JOSEPH9. Afterward he saves his own...Gen.45...Rom.11
Joseph paid dearly for things he did not do. He was innocent of all charges...ALL WERE BLESSED BECAUSE OF HIM...Called the Savior of the World by surrounding nationsThen he was rewarded greatly...SITTING ON THE THRONE
Israel goes down into Egypt. Leaving the Promised Land, the Place of Blessing, out into the world...Did God know this would happen? Yes he knew before the foundation of the world...remember he told Abraham this was going to happen 500 years before: Gen.15
God would use it in at least three ways:
One to chasten Israel and bring her back to him Too show his mercy-love and Power Joseph became the link between a family of 70 and a great nation of over 2 million...
BIC PICTURE GENESIS: WE SEE CREATION-MARRIAGE-FAMILY-GOVERNMENT-SIN-PLAN OF REDEMPTION FOR FALLEN MAN
EXODUS: DELIVERANCE-SALVATION
Here we find Israel in the world...at first it was good and they were prosperous and happy and soon settled in the world of Egypt... deep into Idol worship...forgetting GodThey found themselves captive in a world that knew not Joseph.
Ex 1:7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
45
Heb 11:24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the
son of Pharaoh's daughter; 25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction
with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence
of the reward.
Ex 2:23 And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of
Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason
of the bondage.24 And God heard their groaning, and God
remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.
8 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
HOW SOON MAN FORGETS THE ONE WHO SAVED THEM...AND BECOME IN BONDAGE TO SINEx 1:11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.Ex 1:12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel. {But...: Heb. And as they afflicted them, so they multiplied, etc.} 13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour (Great Hardship) 14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.
Take note the story and how it parallels with the Greater Story.Egypt.............means Black, City of Dead, Book of Dead, speaks of death...............WorldIsrael............God’s chosen people, lost in the world, condemnation of death.........Man LostPharaoh........Gentile World Leader, worshipped as god, power over man..............SatanTasksmasters...enslaved people and made their lives miserable.............................SinBondage..............without hope, helpless, crying out to God to deliver them..........confessionMoses.................Deliverer Sent by God................................................................Jesus ChristPharaoh orders death of all boys................................................................Herod did the sameArk...................pitched (Atonement) place of safety.......................................secure in JesusMoses in palace living in luxury in all his splendor & Glory.............

God was preparing Moses: He took him on the back side of the desert and trained him to lead His people, by herding sheep...near Mt. Sinai, where he would later receive the Commandments, the Law and the blueprints for the Tabernacle
Mt. Sinai, or Horeb, Sinai(pointed) while Horeb (desert) , called the Mountain of God..
46
Isa 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. {no...: or, nothing formed of God}
Ps 115:4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
1Co 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
(Demons behind all idol worship)
Ex 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Ex 3:1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the Mountain of God, even to Horeb.
Take note this happens again In the gospels when Israel was in the world, ruled over by the Romans and the deliverer came...Jesus Christ...they rejected him and he took a gentile bride(church)...Then he returns to deliver them again when they are in the clutches of the last Antichrist...New World Order...yet to come.Bondage to her captures...They had to see their condition as hopeless without him, cry out to him for salvation, and then God would send the deliverer...
When we look at the Big Picture in the last days we see God’s people in the world under the rule of the antichrist....We see the plagues as judgment from God upon all the things man has put his faith in once again, in place of God. These things become idols as well as the idols in Egypt. God had to remove them...
Plagues in Egypt are revisited in the book of Revelation...in the judgments... during the Tribulation
But on a much larger scale...Once again in the last days God will destroy everything
man has put before him...Rev.6-19
World Governments-False Religion-Possessions-Wealth-Economy-Position-Powers- Nations against
Israel, Technology-Entertainment-Pride-the body beautiful Any and all things the world loves more than
God
Everyone from that generationbut two, Joshua & Caleb, died in the wilderness...only the youngest who had not been rooted in the world and the things of the world, went into the promised land...(victory)
Crossing the Jordan was not a picture of heaven, as often taught and sung...There were battles and wars after crossing Jordan to take possession of
the land. No wars or battles to fight in Heaven...this was a picture of the victorious life of a believer who will just reach out and take possession of God’s
provision...does not remove the storms but gives strength, courage, comfort and peace through the storms...
47
De 1:2 (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)
Nu 14:22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
Take Note: They had come under the blood, and they came out of the world (Egypt) although redeemed, because of unbelief they never entered into the rest and victory of the Lord because of their unbelief., not trusting him fully...
Heb 3:18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Heb 12:6-8 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
It was because of their unbelief and not trusting God fully that a journey of only 11 days, turned into 40 years of wandering, going around the same old mountains or trials over and over again...
God took his people out of Egypt, but it took 40 years in the wilderness to take Egypt out of them...1Co 10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. ( for not trusting him- unbelief-trusting world)
God explains to them HE led them into the wildernessAnd Why He led them there in Deut.8...for their own good. To chasten and to teach them...TRUST IN ME AONE!
De 8:5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. 6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. (HE ONLY CHASTENS HIS OWN CHILDREN)
De 8:15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint; 16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;God knew what they would do...it was for their good...God doesn’t test man to see what man will doGod knows what man will do, HE IS GOD

Note: No contradiction in God’s Word...modern man has changed the times and the calendars. We are under the Roman Empires and Pope Gregory’s Calendar...The Gregorian Calendar 1582 Roman Pope) is just a reformed Julian Calendar,
(Emperor Julius Caesar) which he set in 46BC...Man’s Time not God’s Time...All months and days named after Roman gods...Most so called contradictions has to do with man’s ignorance of the times and culture in which the Bible was written...1Co 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion,but of peace, as in all churches of the saints

Heb 9:23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Heb 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
Heb 9:9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
Heb 8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
Principle of types in Bible: a divinely appointed illustration of some scriptural Truth...Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
The word TYPE in our English translation is the word TUPOS in Greek (Language of New Testament)It is translated: figure. Pattern, fashion, form, example,Shadow.....
You find these things very important as you see the patterns, shadows, types, and figures of things to come all through the Old Testament and fulfilled in Jesus Christ in the New Testament....God has always desired man to see and not be ignorant of His warnings and times.
We see it so beautifully in the Passover Lamb in Exodus 12Where Israel was redeemed by the blood of the Lamb...
They were to take a Lamb on the 10th day of Nisan and set it aside to be examined to see if there is any blemish.It was to be a male and the first born...After 4 days, they were to kill the Lamb at 3pm on 14th
They were to kill the lamb at the foot of their door and spread the blood with hyssop on the door post...when the LORD saw the blood He would Passover(hover over) and protect them from the curse of death upon all firstborn in the world of Egypt...The lamb was to be roasted in fire and not a bone broken...It was to be completely eaten standing up, ready to travel...for the 15th began at 6pm that night...which started the Feast of Unleavened Bread...the putting away of leaven (SIN) The LAMB was roasted in FIRE, and eaten with UNLEAVENED BREADand BITTER HERBS....They would leave Egypt on the 15th...and thy were to take with them, 400 years of back wages...which the Egyptians were glad to give to them, just to get rid of them...12:31-36Cross RED SEA on the 17th , all enemy destroyed
Ex 12:11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD'S passover. 13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Joh 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world
1Co 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
1Pe 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Big Picture: Old is Like a negative that needs to be developed into PicturePharaoh: Satan Egypt: WorldTaskmasters: Sin & SufferingBondage: Helpless, without hope: Lost in this worldPeople cry out to God for deliverance: We need you!He sends the deliverer: (Moses) Jesus ChristJudgment of Death upon all the Firstborn in the world (Natural birth) Lamb: First born male; without blemish: Jesus Christ, no sin in Him. Set aside on the 10th Day of Nisan for ExaminationJesus rode into Jerusalem on the 10th of Nisan, same hour they were bringing in the sacrificial lambs from Bethlehem, North Sheep Gate...Jesus was entering the Eastern Gate...The religious crowd and political crowd could not find any fault in Jesus...though they tried...10 # number of testimony9AM they bound the sheep to the altar: 9AM Christ Crucified3PM the Lamb was slain: very hour Christ died on the cross15th He was placed in the tomb: Unleavened Bread Feast.Unleavened: without sin; burial: sin put away... Jesus Christ: Bread of life come down from heaven...a body prepared for himBread was ground: beaten-stripped-pierced and roasted in FireJesus Christ: beaten-pierced and in the judgment fire for usNot a bone broken; Jn.19...By His stripes we are healed of sin...
Blood applied with Hyssop : Faith applies the blood...Believing the Lamb died was not enough. The blood had to be applied, appropriated as one’s own...a personal intimate relationship with Jesus Christ...believing is not enough...
Godly Sorrow-Confession-Repentance-Forgiveness...2 Cor.7:10Bitter Herbs: the pain-suffering and affliction...not to be forgotten..They journeyed to Red Sea 15-16th followed by enemy...They were led by a Pillar of Cloud during the day and a pillar of fire at night...They had a visible presence of the Lord, for he was in the pillar...cloud protect in the day and the fire at night...
Ex.14.They stood before the Red Sea, and Pharaoh and armies behind them, hoping to turn them around or push them into the sea...The pillar moves from the front into the back between them and danger...Ex.14God tells them to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord...He parts the Sea and they escape into the wilderness on dry land...the waters standing up on either side congealed: like Jello. Ex.15
53
2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
The Pillar of light to Israel was total darkness to the Egyptians and they didn’t even come near each other through the night.After they are safely across: the Pillar moves and Pharaoh and his army follows them. Then the Lord swallows them in the Red Sea as the waters.Now they are standing safe on the other side on the 17th(3 days and 3 nights) Big Picture; Jesus died on the 14th----buried on 15th ---rose again on the 17th # of Victory...
Here we see the children of God redeemed under the blood of the lamb.We see their death-burial and resurrection as they cross the Red Sea...now they are prepared for their wilderness journey...to the Mountain of God, Sinai or Horeb and 11 days to Promised land...Deut.1:2
Just a brief look at this happening again: Middle of the Tribulation and Israel has made a peace treaty with the enemy...The antichrist. Dan.9.11.12...A covenant with death and hell.The antichrist goes into the temple and sets himself up as God. Rev.12-13,2 Thess.2A remnant of Israel runs for their life...Matt.24...Jesus had told them they would...God told them in Egypt:Ex 19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.Last Days: Re 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.(3 ½ years)
Eagles wings always speaks of God’s Grace...Once again the enemy chases after Israel: this time, God opens up thew earth and swallos them...Re 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
The wilderness journey is a picture of our journey through this life...keep in mind God leads them through the trials and tribulations, not around them...to teach them and train them.
It is going to take some time to get Egypt (world) out of them for they are stubborn.
Ex 32:9 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:Nothing changed: He says the same thing in the New Testament
Ac 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
54
Da 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Antichrist in the last days will try to keep man from knowing the signs and seasons (moed) same word as feasts or Divine appointments
2Co 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (KJV)
1Th 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.(signs & set appointments) 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.(Rapture is the coronation of the Day of the Lord which includes the tribulation-kingdom and ends with the burning of the earth and heavens) 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
The signs were given to comfort and encourage the believer, that he is coming for them just as he promised, Jn.14, and just the way he describes in previous chapter.......and 1 Cor.15:51-58
1Th 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. {comfort: or, exhort}
God redeemed this People, brought them out of the world, and led them by a visible presence...They could hear His voice ... let alone the great miracles...He constantly revealed Himself unto ISRAEL in all He had them do...in patterns, numbers, names, stars, moon, sun, sacrifices, hours, tabernacle-Feasts Days.
Most of these were prophetic...He did not want them in the darkness and ignorant of His Great Plan for man and He does not want us ignorant, but Satan does...
55
2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
Ro 3:1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.(Word of God)
3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
Ro 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) {by one man's...: or, by one offence}
18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. {by the offence...: or, by one offence} {by the righteousness...: or, by one righteousness}
GOD LAID IT OUT SO CLEARLY IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. HE WANTS MAN TO KNOW HIS PLAN...THE SIGNS AND THE SEASONS..SATAN TAKES SOMETHING SO SIMPLE AND SO BEAUTIFUL AND CORRUPTS IT.THEN MEN TRY TO INTERPRET THE SCRIPTURES IN THEIR OWN WAY INSTEAD OF TAKING IT LITERALLY...
God gave these things to the Jews. They were entrusted with the WORD of God...but for the most part there is a vail over their eyes...they cannot see...they refuse to see that the Law would end and gentiles would be saved...They couldn’t see the Church and the Mystery of God...hidden from them...Eph.3:5-6Col.1:24-27. Rom.11:25...ISA.54Paul says he is not speaking in riddles, parables or mysteriously, but PLAINLY...
2Co 3:12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: {plainness: or, boldness}
13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: (LAW would end)
14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.(He fulfilled it all)
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
16 Nevertheless when it (HEART) shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18 But we all, (believers)with open face(no Vail) beholding as in a glass (reflecting) the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. (The Spirit has revealed it to us)
56
Nu 15:38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue: 39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring: 40 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God. 41 I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God.
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable
for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness:
Isa 30:8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever: 9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
Deut.31:25-26: The Pentateuch had been in the side of the Ark. The Ark was removed during the reign of the ungodly kings Manasseh and Amon: almost 60 years
(Take note to this day whenever a Jew reads the scriptures in the synagogue he wears a Tallith over his heart, which represents the veil...
Prayer shawl (Talit, Talis) with 613 knots representing the LAW...Everything the Lord told them to do was to TEACH them... (Strong’s Word Study & Concordance: 8451)
Law: Heb.Torah (Towrah) means to INSTRUCT-TO TEACH-GIVE DIRECTION:Law:Hitting the MARK (Holiness)Sin: Missing the MARKExodus-Leviticus-Numbers-Deuteronomy
Parents and other wise persons were sources of instruction of the Word of God...the LAW itself was a schoolmaster...Ga 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.“By the law is the knowledge of sin” Ro 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
If you look at it this way: replace the word law with teaching... Le 6:9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law (teaching) of the burnt offering:This is the Law of the Meal Offering...This is the Law of the Feasts Days....Ask: What is it teaching?????The priests were given the responsibility to teach the Law but they soon failed and the Lord rejected them for they forgot the law of God and disregarded it.Deut. 17:11 Jer.2:8
1. Rebellious people refused instruction or teaching Isa,30:8-9
2. Even the Scribes handled the word deceitfully Jer.8:8
3. They lost the book of the law for a long time...2 Kings 22:8. 2 Chron.34:13-21
57
4. The kings were to be held to the law. 1 Kings 2:3, 2 Ki.10:31Everything was a revelation of Jesus Christ and the plan of redemption for man...

GOD WANTS TO DWELL WITH MAN...
Ex 25:40 And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount.
Heb 8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
Joh 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.
Col 2:9 For in him (Christ)dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Man & Church(corporately)1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Ex 13:21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
Ps 78:14 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
Ps 105:39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
Future Millennial Kingdom
Isa 4:5 And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence. {upon all: or, above all} {defence: Heb. covering}
6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
(KJV)
TabernacleIn the Wilderness
He gave them the law to teach them they could never work their way to heaven. They couldn’t be good enough and no
matter how hard they tried they would always fail and break the holy laws of God...
He gave them the Feast days and the Daily Sacrifices...A visible presence of the Lord leading them in them in the
wilderness:
Then the Tabernacle: which
Israel carried across the wilderness for 40
years... They used it in Israel till Solomon built the
Temple...
The Tabernacle in the wilderness was and is
the greatest witness of God’s Plan of
Redemption for man.
Every detain points to some aspect
Of Jesus Christ..Either his person or his
work...
The Believer “in Christ”Is also a trinity,
body: outer court of sacrifice Rom.12:1-2Soul: inner room of
worship & fellowshipSpirit: Holy of Holies
God conscience, deepest hidden
relationship with God... victory

Heb 9:23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these..
Heb 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
Ex 27:18 The length of the court shall be an hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty every where, and the height five cubits of fine twined linen, and their sockets of brass.
Ex 25:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering. Ex 25:8 And let them make me a sanctuary;
that I may dwell among them. 9 According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all
the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it. (Patterned after the one in Heaven, Ark, Sea of Glass, Altar, 7 lamps, all seen in Revelation)

Re 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by

shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
Upon entering the court, you must go by way of the Brazen Altar:
represents cross of Calvary...Ye must be Saved by the Blood of the Sacrificial Lamb of God: Jesus ChristOnce man enters the One and Only Way and gets saved through the blood of Christ, he is now wrapped in HIS
righteousness, safe and secure by the Spirit and Truth...what was a wall of separation now becomes a Robe of Righteousness...Once standing in judgment (brass), now having a silver crown (Redeemed) and covered with His Righteousness...United together as one with HIM and each other, by the redemption cost the BLOOD... 1 Cor.12
The Brass altar was made of desert wood, which was a root out of dry ground and almost indestructible...the wood represented the Lord’s Humanity and covered with brass judgment...it was 5x5x3 cu. Meaning Grace and Trinity, as well as resurrection...the fire came down from heaven and consumed the sacrifice and then the fire was to be kept going in special instruments. The ashes were taken without the camp...5 daily sacrifices...it had 4 horns where man could grasp and find safety...5 # Grace, Redeemed-Justified-Reconciled-Santified-Glorified...
The Laver was made of the mirrors given by the women. Polished brass so they could see their reflection. There were no dimensions, for there is no way to measure HIS Grace and forgiveness...it was filled with water and was for daily cleansing, as they looked into it (Word) repentance from the defilement of the world before man could serve or worship him.
The Holy Place is the first room of service and worship...the only way to see the real beauty is to be inside. (Saved) The 4 coverings for the Tabernacle covered up the beauty within. Outer covering was dull color represented His Humanity...the next was red: His Blood...next was Black our sin...the next was beautiful fine linen embroidered with angels...His becoming a sinless man, shedding his blood to cover our sin, mad the way for us to be saved and secure...

Mt 27:50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

Inside the first room there are three pieces of furniture...The7 Branched Lampstand: the only light.

To the right sat the Table of Shewbread with 12 loaves of bread on it. The giver of life and the sustainer of life, the Bread from Heaven. Also made of wood covered with gold. Place of fellowship...the Table was to never be empty...
In the middle before the curtain that covers the Holy of Holies sat the Altar of Incense...also wood covered with gold, (God/man) here is where the incense was burned o the prayers would go up to the nostrils of God. Place of intercession...the fire had to come from the altar and the incense made from the recipe from God himself...each ingredient from suffering
The curtain or veil that separated the Holy of Holies represented the flesh of Jesus Christ that was torn, to make a new and living way to come into the presence of a Holy God.
The veil was covered with angels and no one but the High Priest himself could enter behind the veil...He alone once a year on the Day of Atonement...there was a narrow path, 1cu. Wide(18 inches) for the High Priest to pass through...(18 inches from head to heart)
Le 16:2 And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.
Now we have an eternal High Priest, the One and Only Mediator between God and Man.1Ti 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Mt 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Ex 25:21 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.
Joh 6:48 I am that bread of life.
Heb 9:4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
Job 38:32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
Mazzaroth: or, the twelve signs} {guide: Heb. guide them}
Inside the Holy of Holies sat the Ark of the Covenant where God would meet with man. It represented hos Throne...in Heaven.
It was a simple box made of the wood and covered with gold.There was a lid, called the judgment seat MADE OF Pure Gold with two Cherubim Angles of pure gold on top. All one piece of solid gold. The lid was called a Mercy Seat, or Propitiation Seat when covered with blood... (Propititiation: that which makes Peace) The angels had six wings, one set to fly, one set covering their face in respect and the other to cover their feet in humility...
Ps 99:1 The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved. {be moved: Heb. stagger}
In this Ark was the gold pot of bread that fell from Heaven: representing Jesus Christ, the giver and sustainer of eternal life.
The Rod of Aaron: the resurrection of Jesus Christ giving us the assurance of eternal life.
Broken Law: man’s sin. When the blood was covering God could not see the sin. But when the blood was not covered he could see the broken law and the seat became a seat of judgment.
Thank God Jesus Christ fulfilled the law, the resurrection, and taking his blood into heaven to take away the sin, not just cover it... Joh 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
They carried this witness through the wilderness for 40 years led by the Holy Spirit of God.
They were all given talents, gifts and responsibilities in the putting up, carrying and taking down the Tabernacle...
They were giving marching orders and exactly how to march in order and how to camp in order.
The ensigns or flags were in place before each tribe and when they heard the sound of the trumpets they would lift the flags and follow in order...Each flag was designed with one of the Mazzaroth sign. Man calls this the Zodiac

Eze 1:10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
Heb 8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenlythings, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
Nu 2:2 Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the ensign of their father's house: far off about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch.

John’s vision of the Throne in Heaven Re 4:6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. 7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like an ox,and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. 8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
12 tribes tabernacle around the Throne (Son) 12 constellations of invisible houses tabernacle the sun
Ps 19:1 <<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.>> The heavens declare the glory of God; and the
firmament sheweth his handywork. 2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night
sheweth knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice
is not heard. 4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them(Mazzaroth: stars) hath he set a tabernacle for the sun
Isa 40:26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that
he is strong in power; not one faileth.God created the heavenly host: Gebn.1:14-19God placed them and predetermined their course Psa.19, Job 38:32God numbered them and named them: Ps 147:4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
Every name has a meaning and tells the His story; Declares His Glory...
64
Mazzaroth: Heb. A cluster of stars...The Tower of Babel was built in honor of these stars; it was the cradle of Astrology.
Satan’s counterfeit, to corrupt what he could not destroy...Rather than declare the true story in each constellation, that comes into view as the earth
circles the sun...Satan told man that there were powers that came from the stars that directed their life...depending upon which month they are born...Man fell for it hook line and sinker...it is a multimillion dollar lie...
Corrupting it from the lost and causing fear in the saved to even study it...for fear of falling into Satan’s snare.
All cultures, races and ages the stars have carried the same names and meaning. All Mythology came from the same foundation...a heavenly god taking a mortal woman and
having a god/man on earth....counterfeit Jesus Christ as God the Son through Mary...Example: Hercules and all other Greek-Egyptian and Roman gods
The witness of the stars still exist and declared in the Word of God. Before the Bible they had the message in the stars...Where to begin?
An old zodiac was found in an ancient temple in Egypt dating back 2000 BC...There on the ceiling was the Mazzaroth and right in the middle of Virgo and the Leo was the
Sphinx, with the head of a woman and the body of the lion...Starting the woman: Virgo depicting the virgin birth, around the sun in a complete circle, to
the Lion, of the tribe of Judah, setting up his Kingdom...
Later as the Pyramid was studied and found to be built according to the Stars and a perfect time piece, they knew the sphinx was the key...the opening gate to the pyramid pointed directly at the Ara: Lake of Fire and the top or cornerstone pointed to the Coming Judge...
The constellations have a major sign and three smaller ones called Decansbehind it...just as the tribes of Israel had one major flag and three tribes encamped behind it... Virgo Lion at East Gate
Bootes JudahComo Bernice Centaurus Issachar Zebullun
There are No pictures: just stars with names which create the pictures in the minds of man...the pictures are imaginary based on the names of the constellations and stars...God named them, Satan corrupted the meaning...
Decans: means parts, or parts of the main message in the major constellation...Hebrew word: signs, means A “MESSAGE FROM GOD”
65
Just a few instances: Queen of Heaven: Semeramis, the wife of Nimrod, where it all began, Tower of Babel
These zodiac symbols are found on the tops of ancient towers and temples in Egypt, Babylon, Israel, all over Middle East and Europe...Israel often fell into the worship of these stars (Heavenly Host) and God would severely judge them...they began to join the gentiles in worshipping the creation rather than the creator. Rom.1We see them in the desert worshipping the Bull (Taurus)...it was and still is an abomination unto the Lord. Ex.32
De 4:19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
Jer 7:18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. {queen...: or, frame, or, workmanship of heaven} Jer 44:18 But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of
heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.Jer 44:19 And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?
Was God angry? Jer 8:1 At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:
Jer 8:2 And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
2Ki 17:16 And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
Ac 7:42 Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? 43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

Ps 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 3 There is no speech norlanguage, where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun 5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. 6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.(1-6 :El Creator God: Universal –to All)Witness in Heavens...Job.16:19
( verses 7-14 Witness in Word)(7-Yahweh LORD: Covenant God: individual, or Personal)
Glory? Jesus Christ Heb 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person...2Co 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Old Testament Believers knew the gospel of righteousness by faith...in the stars: Paul asking, Ro 10:18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. (Psa.19:4) Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered;Ro 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.Ge 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.(Abraham) Isa.53: Problem- they Believed not.
Job 38:31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? {Pleiades: or, the seven stars: Heb. Cimah} {Orion: Heb. Cesil?}
32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
Mazzaroth: 12 signs of Zodiac, the clusters of stars that become visible each month at sunset, depending upon position of earth as it circles the sun.
ASTROLOGY: is from the pit of hell and is Satan’s attempt to corrupt the beautiful truth and the story of the Coming Redeemer
Constellations: Ge 37:9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. (Joseph himself making 12)
Ps 104:2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

1.God created the stars.2.God named
and counted the stars
3. God placed them where He wanted them..
Ps 147:4 He telleth the number of the stars; he

Job 9:6 (GOD) Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble. 7 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars. 8 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the seas.9 Which makethArcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. {Arcturus...: Heb. Ash, Cesil, and Cimah, constellations or clusters of stars}10 Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
The night sky was HIS canvas where He placed His Mazzaroth and wrote HIS story for all the world to see...
attribute the stories to their gods. All came from Babylon and the Tower of Babel: they all agreecommon origin. Ge 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
SIGNS (OTH) :A SIGNAL AS A FLAG SEASONS: (MOWED) SAME AS FEASTS, AN APPOINTMENT, A FIXED TIME...NOT SUMMER< WINTEWR OR FALL...different word is used to denote the 4 seasons...These are fixed signs of coming events...
Note: No pictures in the heavens: purely the imagination of man, based on the meanings of the names of the stars...in HEBREW or GREEK.
Arcturus: means “He Comes”Orion: means “the Coming Prince”Pleiades: means “the gathering Congregation”Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Facts: each star differs from another, which man did not know till after the telescope was built. 1609 by Galileo, man finqlly found that stars differ in size, color, temperature, distance..
1Co 15:41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
Take Note the North Sky appears empty except for the North Star, that has been used forever as a guide to the lost...to get home...Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: (HEAVEN IS IN THE NORTH) Job 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
Keeping in mind these scriptures were written 2800 -4000 years ago.Man believed the sun revolved around the earth and that it came up and it went down...Psa.19 told us the sun stood still and the earth revolved around the sunMan believed the earth was flat and man could sail off the end of it ; Isa.40:22 earth roundMan believed there were only 5 planets and that he could actually number the stars...

Man (astrologers)) began with different constellations in the circle to tell their story...they found the key in an ancient temple, where the Mazzaroth was on the ceiling ...between Virgo and Leo in the circle was the sphinx...with the head of a woman and the body of a Lion…

Message: Man is lost and has missed the mark, justice must be met.Man is unable to pay the debt of sin he owes, so God the Son would come and die on the cross, to pay man’s debt and appease the Father returning to Heaven to wear his crown...He willingly became the sacrifice-the redeemer-and propitiation for a lost and dying world.

Ps 19:1 <<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.>> The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. {where...: or, without these their voice is heard: Heb. without their voice heard} 4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, {line: or, rule, or, direction} 5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. 6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
God always has a witness and a remnant who believe.Satan tries to counterfeit or corrupt anything he cannot out and out destroy...
Why can’t man just take God ‘s word as it is written. It is to be of no private interpretation and it means exactly what it says...2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
God hates astrology, horoscopes, witchcraft of any kind, stargazers... De 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD:
God has a witness in all things.
84
Isa 19:19 In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD. (Sets in the middle and on the border Pyramid of Giza sets there)
20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.
There are as many ideas what this all means as there are people. We can’t
be dogmatic, no one really knows who built this and why. Each year a new theory...Lets stay with the facts
and figures and the wonder of it all...whoever built it knew God’s
plan,and the message in the heavens...
Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?
declare, if thou hast understanding. 5 Who hath laid the measures
thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the
corner stone thereof; {foundations: Heb. sockets} {fastened: Heb. made
to sink?}
7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God
shouted for joy?
Some Jews attribute these verses to the pyramid, while others the Rock
where the Ark stood in Jerusalem...in the Temple...Rock of
the Dome right now...
Of course we as Believers know who the foundation is, who the rock is
and who the chief cornerstone, the head stone is...we know the stone
whom the builders rejected.
Ps 118:22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head
stone of the corner.
The Great PyramidThere is a
Witness in Stone
In the numbers and names and design
we see the Dispensational
Truth...
Some believe Job, built it, some Seth,
Adam and even Enoch has been
suggested.
Others believe a Pharaoh (Cheops) or Hebrew slaves, while others go so far as to attribute it to angels or even aliens...They can’t agree on how it was built, or even when it was built, or why... All agree it is a Wonder...most agree it was 2500-4000 years before Christ. Possibly Older????
Modern man, Architects from all over the world, with all their equipment and vast knowledge, agree they could Reconstruct it. They marvel that this building has withstood sandstorms, harsh weather, wars, earthquakes, and destructive human beings and has never settled an inch in the sand. It has a firm foundation...1Co 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.Eph 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Jesus Christ as 7 Stones: 1 Pet.2:6, 1 Pet.2:7..1 Pet.2:8. Mt.21:44, Eph.2:20 Dan.2:34, Ex.17:6, Mt.16:18..1 Cor.10:4Jesus Christ the ROCK...
85
The Pyramid covers an area of 13 acres and sets on the 30th degree of North Latitude, which means all its side face directly to the four directions: N.S.E.W
Perfect time piece. When the sun is at its highest point in the sky, it stands directly over the pyramid and leaves no shadow on either side. One o’clock one hand shadow: two o’clock two hand...
The length of each side of the base is 365.2422 cubits, exact number of days in a solar year
The mathematical problem of how to square a circle or PI. Is found in the measurements of the pyramid, a formula not discovered by man till 6th century
The angle of the SIDES OF THE PYRAMID IS 10 TO 9. Which means every 10 feet you climb, you rise 9 feet in height. When you multiply the altitude raised 10 to 9th power, you get exactly 91,840,000 the distance from sun to the earth..,
Over 2 million stones weighing 60 tons each, cut by hand and so tightly set together, you can’t slide paper between them...Originally covered with polished limestone, and shined like gold...most of which was stolen...
The object of this study is to reveal the Big Picture, not study the Pyramid in depth...We will try and share a few facts so not to get bogged down in the details and not see the Witness. One of Satan’s tricks is to get man to “Strain at a gnat and swallow a camel”Mt.23:24
6000 Pyramid Cubits high without capstone: with capstone it would be exactly 7000 Cubits: 6000 years man labors till Chief Corner Stone comes to set up 1000 yr. Kingdom.
Points to Taurus: Coming Judge
Corner stones are sunk into 8 inches of solid rock.The entrance could not be found until the eighth century, when a Caliph forced his way up from the bottom and accidently found the door when someone leaned on a stone and it swung open. Hoping to find great treasure: they found nothing...not even a mummy.
86
Joh 21:9-11 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught. Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty andthree: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.
One fish in the fire: Israel
They eventually found the open door pointed right at the North Star...and was found on the 17th layer of stone. Knowing that the number 17 means victory and that at one time the NORTH Star was actually the constellation Drago, (which means Satan) BUT due to equinox changes the North Star has since been in the Little Dipper
The story is inside. You open the door and there is a corridor that goes straight down 100 feet below to a pit, they call hell. (same word, a holding place for dead)
As you enter the corridor there are two ways , one up which is very narrow and one down which is very broad...
The path upward leads into a grand gallery. The gallery is made of 153 stairs and 7 courses of stone and leads to the King’s Chamber. There is one step to the left that goes into the Queen’s chamber, making 154
Interesting enough we find the 153 in the Bible one time. In the Bible, fish in a net, represent Nations. Mt 13:47-48 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. (Judgment of nations before Kingdom age) (Mt.25, Ezek.32:2-4, Jer.16:16) Just for FunFishes in Greek; numerical value is 1224 (??????????)Jesus (888) 8 is the number of new beginning. 8 X153=1224Door opens on 17th course of stone...1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17=15317: victory ...20 steps up this path there is an open well. 30 inches down there is an opening that has been ripped through from the bottom (like someone had escaped death)...
87
Mt 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
(20 # Redemption, 30 # blood) No such word as coincidence in Greek or HebrewAt the crossroad here, 70 inches to right, we find a hidden path to Queen’s Chamber...the ceiling points directly to the Kings Chamber above...stepping back out into the corridor there are 7 courses of stone on the ceiling...If the queen speaks of Israel, wife of Jehovah. She was dispersed, buried among the gentile nations in 70 AD.(Isa.54...Rom.11:25...Acts.15:14...Deut.30:3...Ezek.37)The 7 courses of stone could represent the church age.7 stages of the church represented in 7 parables in Matt. 13, (Mystery Kingdom) after Israel rejected their King as well as in 7 letters in Revelation 2-3...
End of 7 courses of stone we find two openings and a small corridor. Above the corridor (ceiling) there is an opening that leads into the air passages, into the heavens (end of the 7th stage of the church, Rapture: Rev.4)
The second opening has a chamber of 3 steps...these three steps point directly to the 3 stars in the belt of Orion, spoken of in the Bible as the Great Victorious One who comes to defeat the enemy. This pathway into the Kings chamber speaks of the place of battle: Tribulation...interesting enough the Queen’s Chamber (Israel) joins the air passage (Church) in the King’s Chamber, at the end of the small passage.
Now the King’s Chamber is the exact measurements of the Holy of Holies, dwelling place of God, in the Tabernacle.
Inside the Tabernacle there was one piece of furniture, the Ark of the Covenant, representing the Throne of God...
Inside the King’s Chamber in the Pyramid, is a coffer...the exact measurements of the Ark of the Covenant. In fact it could set there perfectly...
The capstone, though missing, would point directly to the constellation of Taurus, the Coming Judge...and speaks of his soon return. In the shoulder of Taurus there is a cluster of 7 stars where his shoulder would be...these represent the church returning with him to restore all that was lost, judge the nations, and set up the kingdom...
Jude 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

Mal 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun ofrighteousness arise with healing in his wings...Jesus Christ
(Big Picture: Same story in the stone as in the heavens) THE GREAT SPHINX
Egyptian word: “Shesep ankl”Which means, “Living Image” and is supposed to be a witness of the Living God as well as a
protector for the Great Pyramid.
According to the ancient history and astronomers, this statue was not considered a symbol of the sun or any pharaoh...this lie or corruption was added around 1000 BC. The
Sphinx was built about 4000 years before Christ. They believe it was built to seal the junction between Virgo (face of a woman) and Leo, the body of the lion...as seen in every Mazzaroth (Zodiac) in ancient times. The entire Pyramid was marked astronomically perfect to tell the story...so was the Sphinx...Simply: It was to symbolize the beginning and the end of the declaration made in the heavens...The Alpha and Omega...the virgin birth and the coming of the Judge & King
It was marked by the star in the constellation of Leo. “Denebola... “The Coming Judge”It was a witness of the “Sun of Righteousness” as found in the scriptures;
This monument was carved out of one stone and has stood facing the East for thousands of years, as if Waiting for the sure return of Jesus Christ.
Both comings of the Lord are seen in the Sphinx, The First Coming as the Seed of a Woman: Virgo The second Coming as King after the Tribulation
In the Pyramid we see a message to man, he is condemned to hell, the pit.Someone would come and escape the pit in victory. The wife of Jehovah would be set aside, while a Bride or church is called out in seven stages. The church would be raptured into the heavens before the tribulation, though the queen or Israel would go into this corridor of time, the church is above and rejoins her in the King’s Chamber for the Kingdom...the main constellations and numbers reveal the message: North Star, Gathered HomeDrago, the enemy defeated byOrion, the victorious HeroTaurus: Coming Judge, who will judge the nations & Israel, (two separate judgments, one in the net, one in the pan)Sphinx: stands as a witness and protector of the Truth in the Pyramid...

Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there
is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel
shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Isa 46:9-19
The numbers and the facts are not changed, and Satan has gone to vast measures to conceal, corrupt and even counterfeit the meanings.

Re 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
2Co 3:13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
Israel in partial blindness, with a veil over her eyes, nationally. (Individual Jews can be saved just like gentiles, no longer Jew or gentiles: Christian)
Summary;After 4000 He comes and is rejected by His own and turns to Gentiles to call out a bride...
Ro 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. (Fulness: Church being complete) 26 And so all Israel (Nation) shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. 28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. 29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. 30 For as ye (gentiles) in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: 31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
Ga 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Once Church is complete and gathered to their heavenly home, God will turn back to Israel and begin where he set her aside, and complete his plan for her, His wife...Ac 15:14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

Eze 37:21-22 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
Da 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times 26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; (Titus in 70AD) and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. (they did not know anything about the church age between the time Jesus died... Eph.3. Col.1:24-27)
(Next thing Daniel sees is the peace treaty signed with the antichrist)
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. (Tribulation:Rev.6-19))
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:Isa 54:5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. 6 For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. 7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. 8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. 9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. 10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.
Isa 28:18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it
Da 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Mt 24:15 When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that readeth understand),Mt 24:21 for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be.

Re 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
22 And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.What has held the antichrist back is the presence of the church here on this earth. The Holy Spirit dwells within each saved person and we as the bride will be taken away before the antichrist is revealed and this treaty is signed.
2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, touching the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him; (Rapture)
2Th 2:6 And now ye know that which restraineth, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: only there is one that restraineth now, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming;

Revelation is not that difficult when rightly divided. 2 Tim.2:15God says you compare scripture with scripture 1 Cor.2:13No private interpretation, it interprets itself. 2 Pet.1:20-21
Interesting note: all chapters in King James Bible start with the word “And”, except for the three divisions:
