The same word of God for the past,

present and future generations!

                                                                            And I warn the world.

God has neither Old nor New Testament.

That division is man-made.

The word of God is one.

It is neither old nor new.

It is always new.

 

 

9 According to all that I show you,

that is, the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings,

 just so you shall make it.

Exodus 25:9

 

 

Introduction

          From time to time, you hear people debating on whether Old Testament is still relevant today or not. This paper is intended to take you from Genesis to Revelation for you to see by yourself that Old Testament was never abolished, just as there is no tree without root, and as there is no house without a foundation. Truly, many religious leaders are busy deceiving themselves and misleading the ignorant masses.

One point is clear and it remains unchallenged: Of all the ministers of God, both in the Old and New Testament, none has been able to call down God as often as Moses did. So, how come that present day ministers exclude the teachings and works of Moses? When they do not and cannot perform as much as a half of what Moses did? Surely, the devil defeats many simply by deceiving them to abandon their victorious powers. Also, it is a wonder that churches are bold to say that God never changes. Yet, they are busy everyday changing everything God has said and done.

          Jesus …..the Old Testament

          And He warned, saying, “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.  18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.  19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.  20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. ” Matthew 5:17-19

 

What Is Law?

Law is anything made compulsory for the wellbeing of humanity.

 

 

 

The Laws Are Everlasting Statutes

 

Throughout Your Generations

23 all that the LORD has commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day the LORD gave commandment and onward throughout your generations

Numbers 15:23

 

All The Days Of Your Life

1 "Now this is the commandment , and these are the statutes and judgments which the LORD your God has commanded to teach you, that you may observe them in the land which you are crossing over to possess, 2 that you may fear the LORD your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life, and that your days may be prolonged. 3 Therefore hear, O Israel, and be careful to observe it, that it may be well with you, and that you may multiply greatly as the LORD God of your fathers has promised you — 'a land flowing with milk and honey.'  

Deuteronomy 6:1-3

 

 

The Law Is For Daily

Meditation And Observance

 

Shall Be In Your Heart

6 "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Deuteronomy 6:6-9

 

Shall Not Depart From Your Mouth

8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Joshua 1:8

 

 

 

Scientific Confirmations

 

The laws of nature are unchanging, eternal, universal and impartial. This fact ha been confirmed by Science as an established fact. Scientists call these laws of God theories, principles, theorems, models, laws, etc. inventors do not invent new things. They only come to understand, acknowledge and state the laws of nature, which are God’s will in creation.

 

 

 

The Laws Of God Are The Conditions

For The

Blessings Of Abraham

 

Many Are Playing Hypocrites

From time to time, you hear congregations singing the song, “Abraham’s blessings are mine.” Yet, they fail or refuse to do what Abraham did in obedience to God. For Abraham kept the laws and festivals of God, even before the law was given to Moses on Mount Sinai. Refer to The Book Of Jubilees

 

God Wants You To Emulate Abraham

1 "Listen to Me, you who follow after righteousness,

You who seek the LORD:

Look to the rock from which you were hewn,

And to the hole of the pit from which you were dug.

2 Look to Abraham  your father,

And to Sarah who bore you;

For I called him alone,

And blessed him and increased him."

Isaiah 51:1-2

 

Everybody Is Under The Law

          12 Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.

Romans 7:12

 

Perfection Is By The Law

7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul;

The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;

8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;

The commandment of the LORD is , enlightening the eyes;

9 The fear (love) of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;

The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

10 More to be desired are they than gold,

Yea, than much fine gold;

Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

11 Moreover by them Your servant is warned,

And in keeping them there is great reward.

Psalms 19:7-11

 

The Laws Are Conditions For Blessings

"Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. 2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God:

 

1.     "Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country.

 

2.     "Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.

 

3.     "Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.

 

4.     "Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.

 

5.     "The LORD will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.

 

6.     "The LORD will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the LORD your God is giving you.

 

7.      "The LORD will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the LORD your God and walk in His ways. 10 Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they shall be afraid of you.

 

8.      And the LORD will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers to give you. 12 The LORD will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.

 

9.     And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.  14 So you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right or the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

Deuteronomy 28:1-14 (Leviticus 26:1-13; Deuteronomy 7:12-24)

 


The Evidence Of Lifestyle

 

The Lifestyle Of Those Who Kept The Laws Of God

2 Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God, 3 for he removed the altars of the foreign gods and the high places, and broke down the sacred pillars and cut down the wooden images. 4 He commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to observe the law and the commandment . 5 He also removed the high places and the incense altars from all the cities of Judah, and the kingdom was quiet under him.(Today, people see things going wrong and keep quiet or join in the acts.) 6 And he built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest; he had no war in those years, because the LORD had given him rest. 7 Therefore he said to Judah, "Let us build these cities and make walls around them, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us, because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side." So they built and prospered.

2 Chronicles 14:2-7

 

20 Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and true before the LORD his God. 21 And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart. So he prospered.

2 Chronicles 31:20-21

 

 

No Turning Point

 

The Last Book Of The Old Testament As A Closing Remarks

Calls On Everybody To Keep The Ancient Laws Of God

4 "Remember the Law of Moses, My servant,

Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel,

With the statutes and judgments.

5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet

Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.

6 And he will turn

The hearts of the fathers to the children,

And the hearts of the children to their fathers,

Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse."

Malachi 4:4-6

 

 

Jesus Kept And Spoke The Laws

 

His Parents Observed The Laws

Now when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord  23(as it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the LORD"),   24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, "A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons."  

Luke 2:22-24

 

Christ Fulfilled The Law

17 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.  18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one title will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.  19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.  20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. 

Matthew 5:17-20

 

Jesus Approved Of The Laws Of Moses

And Jesus said to him, "See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them." Matthew 8:4

 

Jesus Warned Against False Religious Leaders

1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples, 2 saying: "The scribes and the Pharisees (religious leaders) sit in Moses' seat.  3 Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do.

Matthew 23:1-4

 

Believe In Both Jesus And Moses Is Compulsory

46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me .  47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?" 

John 5:46-47

 

16 Jesus answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.  17 If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.  18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.  19 Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill Me?" 

John 7:16-19

 

 

 

The Testimonies Of The Apostles, Disciples

And

Early Church

 

The Teachings Of The Apostles

 

No New Commandment

7 Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.   8 Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.

1 John 2:7-8

 

Not As Though I Wrote A New Commandment To You

I rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father. 5 And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another. 6 This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment , that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.

2 John 4-6

 

By The Prophetic Scriptures Made Known To All Nations

25 Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began 26 but now made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith   27 to God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.

Romans 16:25 - 1 Corinthians 1:1

 

The Law Is A Mark Of Love

5 Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith…

1 Timothy 1:5

 

 

 

The Works Of Anti-Christ

 

Do Not Go After Other gods – Emperor Constantine

The church did wrong by allowing Constantine, a pagan general, to authorize changes to the law. That is idolatry

 

12 then beware, lest you forget the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 13 You shall fear the LORD your God and serve Him, and shall take oaths in His name. 14 You shall not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples who are all around you 15 (for the LORD your God is a jealous God among you), lest the anger of the LORD your God be aroused against you and destroy you from the face of the earth.

Deuteronomy 6:12-15

 

 

 

With All Your Life

 

With All Your Heart, Soul And Mind

5 But take careful heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

Joshua 22:4-5

 

34 To this day they continue practicing the former rituals; they do not fear the LORD, nor do they follow their statutes or their ordinances, or the law and commandment which the LORD had commanded the children of Jacob, whom He named Israel, 35 with whom the LORD had made a covenant and charged them, saying:"You shall not fear other gods, nor bow down to them nor serve them nor sacrifice to them; 36 but the LORD, who brought you up from the land of Egypt with great power and an outstretched arm, Him you shall fear, Him you shall worship, and to Him you shall offer sacrifice. 37 And the statutes, the ordinances, the law, and the commandment which He wrote for you, you shall be careful to observe forever; you shall not fear other gods. 38 And the covenant that I have made with you, you shall not forget, nor shall you fear other gods. 39 But the LORD your God you shall fear; and He will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies."

2 Kings 17:34-39

 

 

 

Beware Of Unauthorized Changes

 

God Said He Does Not Change

The religions and their churches teach that God does not change. Yet, they are busy everyday changing what God has said.

 

6 "For I am the LORD, I do not change;

Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.

7 Yet from the days of your fathers

You have gone away from My ordinances

And have not kept them.

Return to Me, and I will return to you,"

Says the LORD of hosts.

"But you said,

'In what way shall we return?'

Malachi 3:6-7

 

God Warned His Priests And Ministers Against Changes

3 "Behold, I will rebuke your descendants (successors)

And spread refuse on your faces,

The refuse of your solemn feasts;

And one will take you away with it.

4 Then you shall know that I have sent this commandment to you,

That My covenant with Levi may continue,"

Says the LORD of hosts.

5 "My covenant was with him, one of life and peace,

And I gave them to him that he might fear Me;

So he feared Me

And was reverent before My name.

6 The law of truth was in his mouth,

And injustice was not found on his lips.

He walked with Me in peace and equity,

And turned many away from iniquity.

 

7 "For the lips of a priest should keep knowledge,

And people should seek the law from his mouth;

For he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.

8 But you have departed from the way;

You have caused many to stumble at the law.

You have corrupted the covenant of Levi,"

Says the LORD of hosts.

9 "Therefore I also have made you contemptible and base

Before all the people,

Because you have not kept My ways

But have shown partiality in the law."

Malachi 2:3-9

 

Prophet Jeremiah Warned Against Changes

8 "How can you say, 'We are wise,

And the law of the LORD is with us'?

Look, the false pen of the scribe certainly works falsehood.

Jeremiah 8:8

 

Daniel Prophesied About Unauthorized Changes

23 "Thus he (Angel Gabriel speaking to Daniel) said:

'The fourth beast shall be

A fourth kingdom on earth,

Which shall be different from all other kingdoms,

And shall devour the whole earth,

Trample it and break it in pieces.

24 The ten horns are ten kings

Who shall arise from this kingdom.

And another shall rise after them;

He shall be different from the first ones,

And shall subdue three kings.

25 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High,

Shall persecute the saints of the Most High,

And shall intend to change times and law.

Then the saints shall be given into his hand

For a time and times and half a time.

Daniel 7:23-25

 

26 "And after the sixty-two weeks

Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself;

And the people of the prince who is to come

Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.

The end of it shall be with a flood,

And till the end of the war desolations are determined.

27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;

But in the middle of the week

He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering .

And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,

Even until the consummation, which is determined,

Is poured out on the desolate."

Daniel 9:26-27

 

Why People Are Destroyed

6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

Because you have rejected knowledge,

I also will reject you from being priest for Me;

Because you have forgotten the law of your God,

I also will forget your children (successors).

Hosea 4:6

 

Scoffers Will Say The Law Is No Longer Valid

1 Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), 2 that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior, 3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation." 5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, 6 by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. 7 But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

2 Peter 3:1-7

 

The Lord Is Not Slack

8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

2 Peter 3:9

 

Beware Of Wrong Statements In The Bible

18 For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness, 19 for the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

Hebrews 7:18-19

No law of God has been cancelled, annulled or voided.

 

 

 

Understand The End Time Moves Of God

 

The Time For Human Empires Has Expired

26 'But the court shall be seated,

And they shall take away his dominion,

To consume and destroy it forever.

27 Then the kingdom and dominion,

And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven,

Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High.

His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,

And all dominions shall serve and obey Him.'

Daniel 7:26-27

 

King Nebuchadnezzar Foresaw The End

31 "You, O king, were watching; and behold, a great image! This great image, whose splendor was excellent, stood before you; and its form was awesome. 32 This image's head was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.   34 You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

Daniel 2:31-35

 

The Dream Is Certain, Its Interpretation Is Sure And It Is Now Fulfilled

41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. 43 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay. 44 And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. 45 Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold — the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure."

Daniel 2:41-45

 

From God To Jesus, Through The Holy Spirit To Michael

God started with Moses in the Old Testament. When He finished, He handed over to Jesus Christ in the New Testament. When Jesus finished, He handed over to the Holy Spirit.  Now, it is time for Michael to arise!

 

"At that time Michael shall (Arise!) stand up,

The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people;

And there shall be a time of trouble,

Such as never was since there was a nation,

Even to that time.

And at that time your people shall be delivered,

Every one who is found written in the book.

2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,

Some to everlasting life,

Some to shame and everlasting contempt.

3 Those who are wise shall shine

Like the brightness of the firmament,

And those who turn many to righteousness

Like the stars forever and ever.

Daniel 12:1-3

 

 

 

The Original Ten Commandments

 

Many Churches Are Teaching Man-Made Version (A Fabricated Form) Of The Ten Commandments. And The General Public Do Not Know That They  Are Being Deceived.

 

Hereunder are the original Ten Commandments:

 

And God spoke all these words, saying:

 

 "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

 

1.     "You shall have no other gods before Me.

 

2.     "You shall not make for yourself a carved image — any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.


3.     "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

 

4.     "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. God foreknew that in future people and different groups shall start changing the laws of everlasting life.

 

5.     "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you.

 

6.     "You shall not murder.

 

7.     "You shall not commit adultery.

 

8.     "You shall not steal.

 

9.     "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

10. "You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."

Exodus 20:1-17  (Deuteronomy 5:1-22)

 

 

 

The Original Day Of Worship

And

Seven Annual Festivals Of God

Leviticus 23:1-End

 

God’s Number For Perfection Is Seven.

Hence, seven is the foundation of many things in life. Seven is one of God's signatures in Creation. Evidences abound in nature:

1.     The Seven Spirits of God

2.     The seven eyes of God. (This means omniscience. It does not mean an eye as we know it.)

3.     The seven horns of God. (This means omnipotence. It does not mean a horn as we know it.)

4.     The seven days in a week

5.     The seven bands of Electromagnetic Waves

6.     The seven rays of the Visible Light

7.     The seven colours of rainbow

8.     The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit

9.     The seven words on the cross

10.                        The seven refinements of the word of God

11.                        The seven Frieze Groups (in Architecture)

12.                        The seven components in man

13.                        The seven natures in man

14.                        The seven spiritual centers in the human body

15.                        The seven falls of a righteous man

16.                        The seven churches

17.                        The seven lamps

18.                        The seven stars

19.                        The seven trumpets

20.                        The seven elements of spirit (water, earth, fire, air, ego, mind and intellect)

21.                        The seven layers of computer network

22.                        The seven priests

23.                        The seven bowls

24.                        The seven seals

25.                        The seven cardinal points (North, South, East, West, Up, Down and Origin)

26.                        The seven rounds about Jericho

27.                        The seven Arithmetic operators (BODMAS and Exponent [power])

28.                        The seven tunes of music (d r m f s l t)

29.                        The seven basic shapes (cube, cuboids, sphere, cone, pyramid and torus)

        Those who wish to celebrate Christmas and Easter are free to do so because there is freedom of worship. But they should know that God gave Christians seven annual feasts, which Jesus Himself attended.
        In each of the seven annual feasts of God, which I attended, I saw and met God Almighty face to face.
        Christmas and Easter are not among the original annual feasts of God. They are among the changes made to Christianity. Search the records, histories, libraries, Bible, encyclopedias and Internet. The evidences are clear.

Let the person who is not a prophet
make friend with a prophet.
Let the person who has no talent
work with the person who has.
Let the person who does not know the way
join the person who knows.

 

The Sabbath

3 'Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.

Leviticus 23:3

 

"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. God foreknew that in future people and different groups shall start changing the laws of everlasting life.

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'The feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts.

Leviticus 23:1

 

The Passover And Unleavened Bread

4 'These are the feasts of the LORD, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times. 5 On the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is the LORD's Passover. 6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the LORD; seven days you must eat unleavened bread. 7 On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it. 8 But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD for seven days. The seventh day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it.'"

Leviticus 23:4-8

 

The Passover Feast Is Forever

Now the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, 2 "This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you. 3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying: 'On the tenth of this month every man shall take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household. 4 And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the persons; according to each man's need you shall make your count for the lamb. 5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats. 6 Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight. 7 And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it. 8 Then they shall eat the flesh on that night; roasted in fire, with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. 9 Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire — its head with its legs and its entrails. 10 You shall let none of it remain until morning, and what remains of it until morning you shall burn with fire. 11 And thus you shall eat it: with a belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. So you shall eat it in haste. It is the LORD's Passover .

 

12 'For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. 13 Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

 

14 'So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance.

 

15 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel. 16 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation for you. No manner of work shall be done on them; but that which everyone must eat — that only may be prepared by you. 17 So you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this same day I will have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore, you shall observe this day throughout your generations as an everlasting ordinance. 18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty-first day of the month at evening. 19 For seven days no leaven shall be found in your houses, since whoever eats what is leavened, that same person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a stranger or a native of the land. 20 You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread.'"

Exodus 12:1-20 (Numbers 9:1-14; Deuteronomy 16:1-8; Ezekiel 45:21-25)

 

About Feast Of Firstfruits

It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. Leviticus 23:14

 

9 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 10 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them:’ When you come into the land which I give to you, and reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest. 11 He shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted on your behalf; on the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12 And you shall offer on that day, when you wave the sheaf, a male lamb of the first year, without blemish, as a burnt offering to the LORD. 13 Its grain offering shall be two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the LORD, for a sweet aroma; and its drink offering shall be of wine, one-fourth of a hin. 14 You shall eat neither bread nor parched grain nor fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to your God; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

Leviticus 23:9-14

 

The Feast Of Pentecost - The Feast Of Weeks

15 'And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed. 16 Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer a new grain offering to the LORD. 17 You shall bring from your dwellings two wave loaves of two-tenths of an ephah. They shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven. They are the firstfruits to the LORD. 18 And you shall offer with the bread seven lambs of the first year, without blemish, one young bull, and two rams. They shall be as a burnt offering to the LORD, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire for a sweet aroma to the LORD.

 

19 Then you shall sacrifice one kid of the goats as a sin offering, and two male lambs of the first year as a sacrifice of a peace offering. 20 The priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to the LORD for the priest. 21 And you shall proclaim on the same day that it is a holy convocation to you. You shall do no customary work on it. It shall be a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

 

22 'When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field when you reap, nor shall you gather any gleaning from your harvest. You shall leave them for the poor and for the stranger: I am the LORD your God.'"

Leviticus 23:15-22  (Exodus 34:22; Numbers 28:26-31; Deuteronomy 16:9,10)

 

The Feast Of Trumpets

23 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 24 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying: 'In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a Sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. 25 You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.'" Leviticus 23:23-25 (Numbers 29:1-6)

 

The Day Of Atonement Is Forever

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 27 "Also the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the Day of Atonement. It shall be a holy convocation for you; you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. 28 And you shall do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before the LORD your God. 29 For any person who is not afflicted in soul on that same day shall be cut off from his people. 30 And any person who does any work on that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people. 31 You shall do no manner of work; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 32 It shall be to you a Sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict your souls; on the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall celebrate your Sabbath."

Leviticus 23:26-32 (Numbers 29:7-11)

 

The Feast Of Tabernacles

33 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 34 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying:’ The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to the LORD. 35 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it.  36 For seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. It is a sacred assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it. 

 

37 'These are the feasts of the LORD which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering and a grain offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, everything on its day —  38 besides the Sabbaths of the LORD, besides your gifts, besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings which you give to the LORD.

 

39 'Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of the LORD for seven days; on the first day there shall be a Sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a Sabbath-rest.  40 And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days. 41 You shall keep it as a feast to the LORD for seven days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your generations. You shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42 You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths, 43 that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.'"

 

44 So Moses declared to the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.

Leviticus 23:33-24:1 (Numbers 29:12-40; Deuteronomy 16:13-17)

 

 

Promise Of Restoration

 

21 "Then say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; 22 and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again. 23 They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. Then they shall be My people, and I will be their God.

Ezekiel 37:21-23

 

24 "David My servant shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd; they shall also walk in My judgments and observe My statutes, and do them. 25 Then they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob My servant, where your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell there, they, their children, and their children's children, forever; and My servant David shall be their prince forever. 26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore. 27 My tabernacle also shall be with them; indeed I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 28 The nations also will know that I, the LORD, sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore."'"

Ezekiel 37:24-28

 

 

 

Why The Wailing Wall Stands

 

The only significance of the Wailing Wall is that it stands as an evidence against the Israelites because they rejected God as Jesus Christ when He came in their midst. Jesus prophesied about the destruction of the temple, because the Israelites trusted in the temple to the extent that they rejected corrections form God. That is what exactly many people and churches are doing today.  You give them messages and corrections from the Holy Spirit, and they say, “That is not how our church worships,” “My church does not believe that,” or they say, “My religious leader said we should not do so.” And so it happens that many are busy deceiving themselves and as well misleading the ignorant masses.

 

Jesus Lamented Over Jerusalem

34 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!  35 See! Your house is left to you desolate; and assuredly, I say to you, you shall not see Me until the time comes when you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!'" (Until they recognize  Jesus as the Messiah.) 

Luke 13:34-35  (Matthew 23:37-39)

 

Jesus Predicted The Destruction Of The Temple

1 Then as He went out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, "Teacher, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!"

2 And Jesus answered and said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone shall be left upon another, that shall not be thrown down." 

Mark 13:1-2 (Matthew 24:1,2; Luke 21:5,6)

 

Do Not Mind Those Who Interpret The Wailing Wall To Please You.

13 And this is the second thing you do:

You cover the altar of the LORD with tears,

With weeping and crying;

So He does not regard the offering anymore,

Nor receive it with goodwill from your hands.

Malachi 2:13

                      

To The Law And Prophets

 

1.     Both Jesus And Abraham Point Humanity To The Law And The Prophet

In the case of the rich man and Lazarus, both Jesus and Abraham point humanity to the Old Testament laws and prophets of God.

 

27 "Then he said, 'I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house,  28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.'  29 Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the prophets ; let them hear them.'  30 And he said, 'No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'  31 But he said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses  and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.'"  Luke 16:27-31

 

Remark this: Jesus said humanity have Moses and prophets (the Old Testament); He did not say that people have the New Testament to guide them. Humanity ‘have Moses’ with them because they have the five books of Moses to read and learn from. If Moses were to come again in the midst of humanity, he would only teach what is the five books again, even so without adding or subtracting. And indeed, Moses has reincarnated again as Musa of Nnobi in Anambra State of Nigeria, and he practiced and taught again all that he wrote in the Bible, as evidence against humanity in disobedience to the laid foundations of true worship.

Likewise, mankind have the prophets with them, because they have all the books of the ancient prophets. And were all the prophets to come back to life on earth, they would teach and practice the same Old Testament, for God does not change.

 

1.     The Transfiguration Shows That The Law And The Prophets Are Still Relevant Here On Earth And In Heaven

Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; 2 and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. 4 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

Matthew 17:1-4

 

By allowing Moses and Elijah to appear and stand beside Jesus, one on the right and the other to the left, God showed the world that:

·        The law and the prophets are relevant to salvation.

·        Whoever does not do what the law and prophets said shall not attain heaven.

·        It was the word of God (Jesus) that is also the law and prophets.

·        Both law and prophets are necessary in heaven and on earth.

·        God has given humanity three witnesses showing that his word is the same, for three times is a confirmation. It is the word of God that is the law and prophets.
