Parenthetical clauses are used throughout scripture to explain how, why, when and where in close proximity to the main subject and verb.
Parentheses in the book of The Revelation explain cause and effect. They tie together the events that happen previously, to the events that transpire subsequently on the prophetic timeline. Unfortunately, parentheses, as a literary devise, come centuries after the actual parenthetical clauses so prevalent in both Hebrew and Greek linguistic constructions. Because of their late arrival into the English language, the parentheticals in the book of The Revelation have never been either deservedly researched or accurately articulated. Now, after more than 40 years in the making, The Chronological Gospels is complete with all of the extensive parenthetical clauses accurately assigned throughout the book of The Revelation.
Now, with its impending fulfillment looming large on the horizon, The Revelation can finally be understood with clarity and lived with integrity. This one feature (the parenthetical clauses in The Revelation) in The Chronological Gospels is worth one thousand times the price of the book itself.
Join Michael Rood for the first of the last four teachings on the very last book of the Bible, “Parenthetically Speaking (Before We Are Saved From the Wrath To Come)”.
[3] And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
[4] He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
[5]But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
[6] He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
[7] Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
[8] Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
Are you trying to get us to believe that he is referring to the 613 commandments in the OT??? If it is, you are wrong...
Mar 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
Mar 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.
Mar 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
Mar 12:32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
Mar 12:33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
These are the commandments John is talking about...
[17] And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
And what is the will of the Father??? That we follow the laws of the Torah??? Nope...
Joh_6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
[29] If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
And what does that say, to do the righteous works of the law??? Nope...It says if you see someone doing righteous things, he is born of God...
I don't think you are paying much attention to these following verses...
[4] Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
[5] And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
[6]Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
[7] Little children, let no man deceive you:he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
[8] He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
[9] Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
[10] In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
[4] Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Do you want to tell us again that the 'law' is the false law of the Pharisees??? If we violate the law of the Pharisees we sin???
Do you sin, ever??? Here's one for you, if you do...
[8] He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Little Children...just like before...If someone sees you doing righteous things, you are likely a child of God...
[5] And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin
Our sins are gone...No Torah...
[9] Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
That's me...I was born again (John 3:7)...
Does this say anything at all about doing righteous for salvation??? Nope...The Little Children are already Christians (saved)...And there is no sin attributed to us because Jesus paid the price...
Do we as Christians commit sin??? Of course we do...But it not attributed to us...We can not sin in the eyes of God... No Torah...
Well don't keep us in suspense...Where in the scripture does it demand that the calendar be determined???
He must mean the other apostles; the Roodies...
Sorry Troll, but there’s no commandment to be circumcised, keep feast days, or dietary laws:
1Jn 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
1Jn 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
As for all the rest of your claims, we Christians won that battle when you failed to address the scripture. Rant on if you want.
John and Yeshua both made it quite clear that Torah is what is to be obeyed.
Play your childish games all you wish, but your twisting is to no avail. All John is doing is repeating what Yeshua said, beginning in Matthew 5 and thereafter. He left you no room to wiggle.
You do not believe Yeshua, thus your score is marked. If you were his, you would have believed joyfully.

They hiss like their Father, is that what you mean?
Scripture burns their ears.
You do not believe in Yeshua or you would love his commandments.
Yes we must understand the feasts thoroughly, as they are the oil of the virgins’ lamps.
Yeshua said not one jot or tittle was to be changed.
That doesn’t mean that two can be changed, like your infantile logic seems to be telling you.
You are the poster boy for Matthew 7.
Just like you?
You’ve come here to demolish Yehova’s word; that puts you at the bottom.
“Yes we must understand the feasts thoroughly, as they are the oil of the virgins’ lamps.”
“Understand?” Or do you mean “obey”? This is two entirely different things. And if you mean “obey,” so it follows then, that we are under the whole law, and must be circumcised also, and not just picking one law over another, just because your cult leader says so.
They're aren't hissing nearly as much as when this all started. You and Roamer have checked them every time they attempt to twist scripture. ;)
It's in reference to Iscool's BS post to me below:
"You obviously don't know any scripture since you don't post any to back up what you say..."
>> ““Understand?” Or do you mean “obey”? This is two entirely different things” <<
.
The feasts are the revelation of his 70th week timetable. Obey is meaningless since they are his revelation to his elect.
Since you are not interested in his things, they are obviously not for you, so just disregard them as you are naturally inclined to do. His sheep know his voice, that’s why his things are strange to you.
You don't even have the slightest clue what ES is referring to with the phrase: “Yes we must understand the feasts thoroughly, as they are the oil of the virgins’ lamps.”
Nor the reason we keep the feasts and the calendar - you really are a disappointment; truly sad disappointment...
Was meaning to include you on #1253.
“The feasts are the revelation of his 70th week timetable. Obey is meaningless since they are his revelation to his elect.”
You are not answering the question. Are we required to observe the feasts or not? It’s not very difficult. And if so, do you acknowledge that we must be circumcised, as well as being under the entirety of the law? Please no dodging.
He doesn’t know any more than you do; most of what he “knows” isn’t so.
(Ron Reagan used that to describe America’s attackers, so it is appropriate to use it here to describe Yeshua’s attackers)
>> “Are we required to observe the feasts or not?” <<
.
His bride does observe the feasts. It probably is of no concern to you.
“His bride does observe the feasts. It probably is of no concern to you.”
Okay, so then we are required to observe the feasts. Do you acknowledge that we are to be circumcised then, if we are keeping the feasts, as well as the rest of the law? Please, no dodging. Straight answer for the entirety of this question.
I don't know if that's your first error or the twentieth...But it's certainly one of them...
Then you need to read Hosea and learn that what you call “the church” was definitely well known in the OT, and was the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel.
Hosea knew nothing of the NT church...He couldn't possibly have been talking about it...
Eph 3:1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
Eph 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
Eph 3:3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
Eph 3:4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Eph 3:5 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;
Eph 3:6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
This was not revealed to Hosea...
I don't think it's compared to carnality...Those statutes and judgments are tied to righteousness...Self righteousness...(Successful) performance of those equates to righteousness...
Yes, it has been called carnal - or words to that effect. not only on this thread, but over and over in my talks here. And again, one must consider the flaw in your statement - If it was self-righteousness, there would be no provision for atonement. The very act of atonement belies the the idea that 'self' has righteousness. the need for propitiation by it's existence, by it's function, denies self-righteousness.
Jesus removed that righteousness requirement and gave us righteousness freely, without the bondage of being tied to those laws and statutes...
But if we love YHWH we will keep his commandments.
And then the burden was removed to have to keep those statutes and judgments while at the same time giving us the Holy Spirit who puts it into our hearts to desire to do good works...
'Good works'... What does that mean? Actually, I can tell you - Torah. What does it mean that YHWH will write His Laws of our hearts? Torah. So your sentence says, quite literally:
And then the burden was removed to have to keep those statutes and judgments while at the same time giving us the Holy Spirit who puts it into our hearts to desire to keep Torah...
The burden that was removed is the curses - not the ordinances themselves - Albeit that the ordinances of men were wholly wiped out. Which is the second part nailed to the cross - there is no more a Human priest to stand between you and the father - You walk boldly into the Holy of Holies to deal with Yeshua directly - No more can traditions of men be valid at all.
