I agree with Rambot here, these are insanely deep cuts and we will be paying for it as known diseases spiral out of control.

We are already seeing this as Kennedy is refusing to report measles cases.

I read somewhere that Luther believed that from the moment the Holy Spirit conceived our Lord Jesus, until he was born, Mary did not sin. Luther applied human reason and concluded that while she carried our Lord in her womb, our Lord being sinless, meant that she could not sin until He was outside of her. Human reason can be a risky thing when interpreting Scripture. God found favor in her, therefore I must also favor and honor her.

Regarding the perpetual virginity, her womb was where God dwelled, like the Tabernacle or the Holy of Holies; Joseph, understanding Jesus as Lord, and being a Jew, would understand this and not lie with here out of respect for his Lord God.

Nor are they ever perfect either. And in reality, it is God Himself who sets them ALL up. The basest of people. Another little spiritual message.

The "examples" are and have always been set before our own eyes:

Daniel 4:17
This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.

Nasty little bastards they can be. Pardon my french.

So I might ask myself why Daniel was such a groveler?

Daniel 3:9
They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever.

There's a reason Joseph was put "under" Pharaoh, and was blessed. Same lesson. Over and over.

The system is locked and loaded, and was set up this way by God. There's no getting around it. Knock down one head, ten more like it or worse will pop up to take it's place.

Romans 11:32
For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.

Bound so tightly we can't even see who is who. You have to respect the system. Vile as it is.

They did not earn their righteousness as the result of obeying the either the Law of God or works of the law, but rather the one and only way to become righteous is through faith and they embodied that righteousness by being a doer of the Law of God.

Talk about trying to play it both ways.

Everyone always and only want the blessings, and NEVER the cursing.

When the law was read after the temple was re-established, the people wept, knowing they had curses from God, heavily applied, because of the unavoidable fact and conclusion of their lawlessness.

Haggai 2:9
The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.

Aren't you thankful God, in law particularly, is against the lawlessness we all bear, and can not avoid having within us?

Evil comes from within. There is no dodging or escaping the fact. Is that evil ever lawful? Ever obedient? Ever faithful? Sorry, it never happened. Not then. Not today.

And honest person will come to an honest conclusion. No amount of tears or even repentance will change the fact of it.

28th OT



Rom 1:1-7

"Through him we have received the grace of apostleship."



We receive God's grace. For the sake of our mission, let us listen to what the Holy Spirit, the Love of God, says to our hearts.



Luke 11:29-32

Jesus said:

"This generation is an evil generation."



In fact, it means that many people seek God when God is already with them.



What God created is good. Let us welcome the grace of God that is within us.

So you thought you could pull the plagiarism stunt on me again. Better luck next time.

In everything that follows, Israel must not lose sight of what matters most: protecting its citizens.

The most sensitive questions are immediately practical: Who will take over security in the areas that Israel vacates? Who will disarm the numerous militias? Who will guarantee that humanitarian aid actually reaches the civilian population and does not fall into the hands of terrorist organisations?

The plan provides for an International Stabilisation Force (ISF) to gradually move into the areas vacated by Israel. However, the composition of this force is already controversial. Egypt has declared that it will not provide troops; other countries under discussion, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, have signalled their willingness to participate, but without making any binding commitments. Indonesia will probably only play a limited role. Individual European countries have reported their willingness to provide logistical or police support, but there is still no actual core group.

For Israel, the crucial question is: who bears responsibility on the ground? Only a credible force capable of acting quickly can prevent weapons stockpiles and networks from being rebuilt. The very idea of a multinational presence without a clear leadership structure carries the risk of a power vacuum and local fragmentation.

The central security question is both simple and brutal: who will disarm Hamas and its numerous allied and rival militias? On paper, the answer is to dismantle the military capabilities of these organisations. In practice, however, there are armed networks in Gaza that are partly locally based and partly transnationally linked. Demilitarisation will only succeed if it is reliably monitored, controlled and, if necessary, enforceable.

In this regard, Israel is not prepared to give up its security guarantees. The country will not leave disarmament to a merely symbolic process. If international forces do not act quickly and effectively, Israel will respond, politicians have made that clear.

Israel has the right and the duty to protect its security. Israel must not be passive in this regard. Security is not just a military matter: it is the prerequisite for everything that comes after it.

No sooner has the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas begun than it becomes clear that Gaza's future is anything but certain. In a joint statement with Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Hamas has categorically rejected any foreign supervision or guardianship over the Gaza Strip.

In an interview with Sky News, Basem Naim, a senior Hamas official, said that his organization would no longer be directly involved in the administration of Gaza after the implementation of the agreement brokered by US President Donald Trump. However, disarmament was out of the question. No one could take away their right to resistance by all means, including armed resistance, Naim declared.

The statement openly contradicts the expectations of Western and Arab mediators that Hamas should dismantle its military structures in the post-war order.

When asked about reports of a possible role for former British Prime Minister Tony Blair in a transitional administration, Naim responded:

"unfortunately, we Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims and maybe others around the world have bad memories of him."

Click to expand...

Hamas thus indirectly rejects the concept of an international transitional administration currently being discussed in Washington, Cairo, and Brussels. This model envisages limited security oversight by Arab and Western forces until a new local leadership is established.

In a further statement on its official Telegram channel, Hamas reaffirmed its determination to ‘continue the resistance’ until ‘self-determination and the establishment of an independent, sovereign state with Jerusalem as its capital’ are achieved.

The organisation is thus signalling that, while it tactically supports the peace plan initiated by President Trump, it is not strategically prepared to renounce violence or its fundamental ideological positions.

While the Israeli army has moved its troops to the agreed withdrawal lines in Gaza and the release of the hostages is underway, it is becoming apparent that the ‘post-war period’ will by no means be stable.

CONTINUED:



The Levitical priesthood was imperfect, UNDER IT THE PEOPLE RECEIVED THE LAW, but there was further need that ANOTHER PRIEST SHOULD RISE, AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC. The priesthood being changed there is of NECESSITY a CHANGE ALSO OF THE LAW.

We are speaking of our Lord Jesus Christ, the High priest of our profession, Melchisedec, for ever after His own order. Jesus is from another tribe than the law tribe of Levi . ( Judah. Revelation 5:5.) No man attended at the alter/the law for the tribe of Judah before.

We have it EVIDENT that our Lord rose from the tribe of Judah, and Moses spoke nothing in his writings about priesthood for Judah. ( NOTHING CONCLUDED IN THE LAW OF MOSES HAD ANYTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH THE PRIESTHOOD AAND LAW THAT WOULD BE OF JUDAH, SO IT WOULD BE COMPLETELY NEW AND HOLD NOTHING OF WHAT THE LAW OF MOSES HAD, HAD.)

Far more EVIDENT, after the similitude of Melchisedec there arises ANOTHER PRIEST. ( NOT AFTER THE LAW OF CARNAL COMMANDMENT, now after the POWER OF AN ENDLESS LIFE.) Testified, THOU ART A PRIEST FOR EVER AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC.)

The commandment before was disannulled, 9 OF THE LAW WHICH MADE NOTHING PERFECT, BUT THE BRINGING IN OF A BETTER HOPE DID/THIS IS THE BETTER COVENANT ESTABLISHED UPON BETTER PROMISES.)




Hebrews7:11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the WEAKNSS AND UNPROFITABLENESS thereof.
19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

Revelation 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.





Here again is the BETTER PROMISES ESTABLISING THE BETTER COVENANT, as the first covenant was those priests were MADE WITHOUT AN OATH, ( PROMISE.) but this PRIESTHOOD was with AN OATH, ( PROMISES.)

SO MUCH WAS JESUS MADE OF A SURETY OF A BETTER TESTAMENT. (BETTER TESTAMENT, BY AN OATH FOR EVER/BETTER PROMISES/ FOR EVER.)



Hebrews 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.

Hebrews 7:20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
21 (FOR THOSE PRIESTS WERE MADE WITHOUT AN OATH; but THIS WITH AN OATH by him that said unto him, THE LORD SWARE AND WILL NOT REPENT, THOU ART A PRIST FOR EVER AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC
22 BY SO MUCH WAS JESUS MADE A SURETY OF A BETTER TESTAMENT.





Because our High priest continues for ever, only He has an unchangeable priesthood. ( THAT IS WHY THE PRIESTGHOOD NEEDED TO BE ALTOGETHER CHANGED/ ALL OF THE COVENANT/LAW DEPARTED, IT DID NOT CONTINUE BY REAASON OF DEATH.)

The High priest became us to be holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the havens. ( the law and priesthood was all together with sinners, and with sin, not holy, defiled, harmful, and not made higher than the heavens, but low to death.)

The law had high priests with infirmity, but the WORD OF THE OATH. ( the BETTER PROMISES ESTABLISHING THE BETTER COVENANT.) which was since the law, ( God declaring, Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee/ that day our High priest is for ever after the order of Melchisedec/confirming the promises made unto the fathers.) and made the Son who is CONSECRATED FOR EVERMORE.




Hebrews 7:23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

Psalm 2:7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. ( SINCE THE LAW.)

Acts 13:32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that THE PROMISE WHICH WAS MADE UNTO THE FATHERS,
33 GGOD HATH FULFILLED the same unto us their children, IN THAT HE HATH RAISED UP JESUS AGAIN; as it is also WRITTEN IN THE SECOND PSALM, THOU ART MY SON, THIS DAY HAVE I BEGOTTEN THEE.




The WORSER COVENANT ESTABLISHED ON LESSER PROMSIES, served unto the EXAMPLE AND SHADOW of heavenly things, but now our High priest OBTAINED A MORE EXCELLENT MINISTRY.

The FIRST COVENANT WAS NOT FAULTLESS, so place was SOGHT FOR THE SECOND. ( HEAVENLY PLACE..)

Now no man shall teach his neighbour, ( about laws written in the heart.) for all shall know the Lord ( who He calls and who believes in the better promises, which are not the promises or anything of the first covenant, which was without oath and with death and with sin.)

It is now grace through FAITH, and the Lord declaring He will be merciful ( as He lives forever to make intercession for us/made like HIs brothers that He might be a merciful and FAITHFUL HIGH PRIEST to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.) to our unrighteousness ( unrighteousness is when we are/were in unbelief. John 8:24. Romans 14:23 AND ALL OF 1 JOHN 3 FOR FULL CLARIFICATION AND NOT MANIPULATION BY ONE SINGULAR VERSE..) and our ss and iniquities He remembers no more. ( when born of God and Christ is in us we are then without sin and cannot sin. 1 John 3:3-10) This i the NEW COVENANT, which MAKES THE FIRST OLD, DECAYED, WAXED OLD, VANISHED AWAY.




Hebrews 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.
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.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

Hebrews 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

Hebrews 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.





The surety ( promise) of a better testament/covenant ( Hebrews 7:22.) was by the oath of God that this day He had begotten Christ. ( first begotten of the day. Psalm 2:7. Acts 13:33. Hebrews 1:6. Revelation 1:5.) and the oath that the Lord swore and said wil not repent, ( the tested oath/promise. Hebrews 7:21.) that Jesus our High priest truly was without beginning of days NOR END OF LIFE, ( Hebrews 7:3.) and ABIDES a priest CONTINUALLY. ( also sworn by God to be a priest FOR EVER after the order of Melchisedec Psalm 110:4. Hebrews 5:6/10. 6:20.7:17/21)

How much MORE ( A BETTER COVENANT ESTABLISHED UPON BETER PROMISES.) than the covenant established, (with the blood of bulls and goats.) shall the blood of Christ through the ETERNAL Spirit, purge your conscience from DEAD WORKS, to serve the LIVING God. ( the first covenant is dead in works, as is every part of it, the high priests dead, the people dead, the works they did were dead works, the blood offered was not living, nor the spirit. ( the spirit is in the blood/ the blood of Christ offered without spot to God is LIVING.)

This is why our Lord Jesus Christ is the mediator of the new covenant, ( new as all is NEW, the old is passed away because all of the old was insufficient and dead, not alive.) Jesus by His own death redeemed the transgressions that were under the first testament. ( the called to receive the promise of ETERNAL INHERITENCE/believing in the ETERNAL LIFE of their Lord Jesus Christ.)

Again it is the necessity of the DEATH of the TESTATOR, to make the testament of FORCE, that as the first testament was dedicated in blood, so this testament had to be dedicated with blood. ( this is when Jesus became both Lord and Christ and our High priest for ever.)




Hebrews 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.

Again, we are tracking/tracing, what a better covenant established upon better promises is. ( Hebrews 8:6.)

Lets begin at the beginning of the epistle to the Hebrews this time. God had spoken in the time past to the fathers by the prophets, and as it was the last days spoke unto the children of the fathers by His Son, ( the Lord Jesus Christ.) and has appointed Him heir of all things. ( God made the worlds also by HIs Son.) Both the brightness of HIs glory and the complete image of HIs person, He BY HIMSELF purged our sins, and sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.

(Here at Hebrews 1:4, begins the unfolding of what the better covenant established upon better promises is.)

The Son of God made to be so much BETTER than the angels, ( by inheritance had obtained a name more EXCELLENT than them.)

Begotten from the dead, to be both Lord and Christ. ( To know ASSUREDLY. Acts 2:36.)




Hebrews 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:


Hebrews 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, THOU ART MY SON, THIS DAY HAVE I BEGOTTEN THEE? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 And again, when he bringeth in the FIRSTBEGOTTEN INTO THE WORLD, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 But unto the Son he saith, THY THRONE O GOD, IS FOR EVER AND EVER: a SCEPTRE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is the SCEPTRE OF THY KINGDOM.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath ANOINTED thee with the oil of gladness ABOVE THY FELLOWS.
10 And, THOU, LORD, in THE BEGINNING hast laid the foundation of the earth; and THE HEAVENS ARE THE WORKSS OF THINE HANDS:
11 THEY SHALL PERISH; but THOU REMAINEST; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
12 And AS A VESTURE SHALT THOU FOLD THEM UP, and THEY SHALL BE CHANGED but THOU ART THE SAME, and THY YEARS SHALL NOT FAIL.
13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

Genesis49:10 The SCEPTRE shall not depart from JUDAH, nor a LAWGIVER from between his feet, until SHILOH come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
11 Binding his FOAL unto the vine, and his ASS'S COLT unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.

Zechariah 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

Matthew 21:5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.



Hebrews 5:4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, BUT HE THAT WAS CALLED OF GOD, as was Aaron.
5 So also CHRIST GLORIFIED NOT HIMSELF TO BE MADE AN HIGH PRIEST; but HE THAT SAID UNTO HIM, THOU ART MY SON, TO DAY HAVE I BEGOTTEN THEE.
6 As he saith also in another place, THOU ART A PRIEST FOR EVER AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC.
7 WHO IN THE DAYS OF HIS FLESH, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears UNTO HIM THAT WAS ABLE TO SAVE HIM FROM DEATH, and was heard in that he feared;
8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
10 CALLED OF GOD AN HIGH PRIEST AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC.




Melchisedec King of Salem ( Shiloh/peace.) brought forth bread and wine to Abram, ( Abraham blessed of the Most High God, POSSESSOR of heaven and earth.) Our High priest also blesses the Most High God, who delivered Abrams enemies into his hand. Abraham gave tithes of all to our High priest Melchisedec.)

( His foal and ass's colt are bound unto the vine, the choice vine, He was Is garments in wine and HIs clothes in the blood of grapes.)

( Jesus took break and broke it, and gave to us to eat, broken for us, and took the cup which we drink from, HIs blood of the NEW TESTAMENT, shed for many for the REMISSION OF SINS. (for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament. Hebrews 9:15.)




Genesis 44:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

Genesis 49:11 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.

Matthew 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
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.



The KING OF PEACE, WITHOUT DESCENT, NO BEGINING NO ENDING, MADE LIKE UNTO THE SON OF GOD, ABIDES A RRIEST CONTINUALLY. ( for ever.)




Hebrews 7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
3 Without father, without mother, WITHOUT DESCENT, having NEITHER BEGINNING OF DAYS, NOR END OF LIFE; but MADE LIKE NTO THE SON OF GOD; ABIDETH A PRIEST CONTINUALLY.




How great is Melchisedec who Abraham payed tithes to ?

Those of the priesthood of Levi, have the commandment (of God) to take tithes of the people of Israel. ( receiving tithes from Abraham and blessing Abraham also BLESSED ABRAHAM WHEN HE HAD BEEN GIVEN THE PROMISES.) from their brothers according to the law.

But the ONE who has no DESCENT, is not counted from them,

Men that die ( in the priesthood of Levi under the law.) receive tithes, but the one who received tithes of Abraham, has it witnessed HE LIVES. ( this is ALL explanation of the better promises, which were ALSO BLESSED, and established the better covenant, in better everlasting living blood and life everlasting to all, seeing He ever lives to make intercession for us. Hebrews 7:25.)




Hebrews 7:4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
6 But he whose DEESCENT is NOT COUNTED FROM THEM received tithes of Abraham, AND BLESSED HIM THAT HAD THE PROMISES.
7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
8 And HERE MEN THAT DIE RECEIVE TITHES; but THERE HE RECEIVETH THEM, of WHOM IT IS WITNESSED THAT HE LIVETH.
9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
