The Torah and the Purpose of the Law Part 5

The shadows in the Law continue to function as divine scripture, that not only points to the Messiah, but also helps us to understand him. Without the Law, we would not understand the importance of the sacrifices, the need for an intercessor or redeemer, the presentation of Jesus as the Passover Lamb and so on.

The Torah and the Purpose of the Law Part 4

In Genesis 49 and Numbers 24 we see the Torah's story has a happy ending. However, Genesis 3:15 not only prepares the reader of the glories of the coming Messiah-King, but also paves the ways for appreciating the suffering of this coming Messiah-King. God's purposes will come to pass, but the redemption of creation will come at great suffering and death.

The Torah and the Purpose of the Law Part 3

Blessing, seed, and land are the central themes of the story from Genesis to 2 Kings. These themes also form the foundation for biblical eschatology, God's purpose in creation, and in the election of Israel to bless, multiply and establish his rule over the land through the seed of the woman.

The Torah and the Purpose of the Law Part 2

The Torah's ultimate goal must be concerned, not in terms of bringing Israel to the Law, but rather in terms of leading Israel through the broken Law, through the violated covenant and beyond. There are clues that the Torah's remedy, that means through which God will accomplish his purposes to and through Israel, is the coming of the Messiah-King in the Last days.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ Part 52

Revelation 4:1 Have you heard the voice - "Come up hither"? It is in Christ that we hear the voice bidding us to come up hither. It is in Christ that the heavens are opened. It is in Christ that we are seated in the throne of power and glory to rule and reign over all things. He is the Door!

The Comfort Zone Ziklag Part 2

The Lord told David to pursue. You have a whole different level of fight game when you know you can't loose. A New Covenant has been established! Jesus is that covenant.

The Comfort Zone Ziklag Part 1

What is Ziklag? Ziklag is the place you settled for that is less than your appointing. Ziklag is your comfort zone.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ Part 51

The Church in Laodicea continued The law of the new creation demands a change, a transformation. Everything God puts within us, we must become, until we are what we contain. The transition is from possession to a state of being.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ Part 50

The Church in Laodicea continued: Many believers are weak and sickly in their spiritual lives simply because they depend only on external things - meetings, sermons, singings, programs, and never come to truly know and experience the Lord for themselves. Those who heard his voice and opened the door are feasting with the Lord in the third feast, which is the Feast of Tabernacles Now!
