Parenthetically Speaking (Before We Are Saved From the Wrath To Come)
A Rood Awakening Tv ^ | 7 February 2014 | Michael Rood

Posted on 02/09/2014 9:26:46 AM PST by Errant

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)”.

If you feel you must be under the Law and the Prophets, let me make it a little easier for you. These four passages explain the fulfillment of all the law and the prophets:?

Well I suppose one could call it a 'feeling' to state with a Christ certainty, that NO Christian would claim they have covering to sin because of grace.

You quoted what Christ said about the law. He never indicated or hinted that His sacrifice gave license to believers in Him they were 'free' to break His commandments. After all Christ was God with us in the flesh, so that would mean that Christ was there with Moses when His law was given.

Now if one considers the Ten Commandments, the first five are 'spiritual' in how one demonstrates their love of and for the Creator. The other five are 'civil' laws in teaching how to get along with the neighborhood. To claim these are no longer in effect because of the priceless act of a sacrifice (grace) that NONE can ever repay, borders on the liberal mindset.

Then there is that 'judge not lest ye be judged' commandment, I guess the 'graceites' believe applies to them. And 'call no man father', 'let no man deceive you' to name a few commands. There are numerous 'commands' from Christ, which naturally feels like a law.

How else does one demonstrate they 'believe' in Christ except to follow His commands?

.....Torah (The Law) would not pass because it is the Father’s total plan for man.....

That’s wrong....

Christ did not say: ....”I come to lengthen the law,”... to extend its usage..... He said He came “to fulfill” the law......meaning to bring it to its completion or goal (telios), to fill up...... to a complete measure. .....It is the same word used for the prophecies he fulfilled.

So then what is the law good for?

Paul tells us what the laws usage is for, and it is not for the believers to keep.....

1 Timothy 1:8-11:

“But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.”

This is how we use the law, we are told to preach Christ and use the scripture to present the gospel to people that do or do not recognize their sinners.

....”How else does one demonstrate they ‘believe’ in Christ except to follow His commands?”......

You follow Him...Christianity is a ‘relationship’ with Jesus...... being obedient to the Spirit that now lives within the believer.... who is our counselor.

Paul says....”Did you use works and the law to get saved?

The answer is No. Then you can’t use works and the law to live... the law is not made for a righteous person... we have put on the righteousness of Christ through and by His Spirit in us.

If you have the righteousness of Christ by believing the gospel - then you are NOT UNDER the Old Testament law as Paul teaches in Romans......... if you do not have this righteousness than you have ‘the law to drive you’ to the Messiah to get it.

The new covenant has the law of the Spirit operating in the believer ..... The Spirit of truth..... not the law of Moses.

For what the law could not do Christ came and has done it for us..... Therefore we are not under the law but grace, resting in his perfect work,..... He is our all,..... HE is all we need, ......He is whom we listen to.

You wish to be a part of his bride, do you not? His bride is “the lost sheep of the House of Israel.”

I will STILL not be a JEW: to whom the COVENANT (and the LAW) applied.

The Pharisees didn’t care a whit about Moses. What they considered to be the real law was their traditions. That is what Matthew 15 is all about. They pushed circumcision because they bilked the people to do them.

Circumcision was NOT a tradition of the Pharisees. Circumcision was indeed required by the Law and was given BEFORE the Law came.

Matthew 15 was about the rules and regulations they added to the Law.

YOU are the one who needs to read the OT more.

The ten commandments, and the feasts are the chief commandments that fall into that area.

Nobody can properly observe the feasts days without the required sacrifices. The sacrifices are part of the feast days.

How do you do that without a consecrated place and priest to offer the sacrifices?

The dietary instructions are also important to live a life free of disease.

Well, that worked out real well for all those people Jesus went around HEALING for the three years He walked this earth, didn't it?

The law of abstaining from pollutions of idols, and fornication and things strangled and from 'blood' was still taught. So they were teaching the Ten Commandments.

Which of the Ten were those?

We are not free to break the Law. What we are free from is the penalty of breaking the Law, which is death.

However, that is not license to sin for a variety of reasons, but losing your salvation is not one of them.

If it is a sin to doubt, then there is no science.
If it is a crime to dissent, then there is no politics.
--Scaramouche
 
 
 
 
 
Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled.
Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you're being had...
 
Consensus is invoked only in situations where the science is not solid enough. Nobody says the consensus of scientists agrees that E=mc2.
Nobody says the consensus is that the sun is 93 million miles away. It would never occur to anyone to speak that way.

>>>Everything but the spring feasts remains to be fulfilled.<<<

That is not found in the new covenant: the new testament. Jesus fulfilled the old covenants.

Do you recall Jesus saying this at his Last Supper during passover?

"For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God." (Luke 22:16 KJV)

And, after his resurrection, he ate in front of his disciples:

"And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. And he took it, and did eat before them." (Luke 24:41-43 KJV)

Therefore, we are already in the Kingdom of God, and Jesus showed us we were by eating in front of his disciples (he said it many other ways, as well.) There is no need whatsoever to adhere to any of the laws and instructions of Moses, except to heed this warning by Moses, intended for my fellow Jews, but applicable to all:

"For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people." (Acts 3:22-23; also Deut 18:18-19)

That prophet is Jesus, who gave his life freely for us; and he only asked us to do this in remembrance of him:

"And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you." (Luke 22:19-20 KJV)

Implied in that statement is this: feast on the New Testament. He also asked us to obey his two commandments:

"Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." (Mat 22:36-40 KJV)

"For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous." (1 Jn 5:3 KJV)

There are no sacrifices related to the feasts, except Passover, which is fulfilled.

Nice try, but if you hate his commandments, why do you want anything to do with him?

He said that he would write his commandments on the hearts of those that love him; is your heart made of teflon?

Do you have any reading skills at all? I didn’t say it was.

.

well, no, all of the law was given before circumcision was made a sign of the covenant at Sinai. The law was given to Adam.

Abel was slaughtered in anger by his brother for offering a proper sacrifice. How would he know that a sacrifice was required, and what was proper, if the Law had not been given?

You will note, I’m sure, that when Noah loaded the animals onto the Ark, he took seven of the “clean” animals, and just TWO of the “unclean” animals.

Now, had Noah eaten even one of the unclean animals while he was drifting on the water, that species would not exist today. It seems that Noah didn’t eat any of the popular unclean animals, huh?

And we all know about the Sabbath being declared by Yehova on the seventh day.

.
>> “Matthew 15 was about the rules and regulations they added to the Law.” <<

.
Wow, there’s that echo again!

How are those reading skills doing?

Actually, it was about way more than a few rules, it was about a complete system of rip-off they had going, and that is what got hung on the cross with Yeshua.

>> “Israel is not the Bride of Christ....the body of believers are.” <<

.
The prophet Hosea, and that ‘other’ prophet Moses mentioned, Yeshua, have informed you otherwise.

Hosea 14:

[1] O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
[2] Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.
[3] Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.
[4] I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.
[5] I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
[6] His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
[7] They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
[8] Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.
[9] Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.


Matt.10

[1] And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
[2] Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
[3] Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
[4] Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
[5] These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
[6] But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
[7] And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Matthew 15:

[24] But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Hebrews 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: [9] Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. [10] For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people

The "House of Israel?"

Really?

Hmmmm....

>>>You quoted what Christ said about the law. He never indicated or hinted that His sacrifice gave license to believers in Him they were 'free' to break His commandments. After all Christ was God with us in the flesh, so that would mean that Christ was there with Moses when His law was given.<<<

Of course Christ was with Moses, at all times, and all times before. All of the Holy scriptures are His Words, and he can change them whenever he pleases. For example, it is written in the new covenant that loving one's neighbour as thyself is the law, overriding all of the ordinances of Moses. These are Christ's exact words:

"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." (Mat 7:12 KJV)

So, Christ said the entire law in fulfilled by adhering to that one sentence. Christ also gave us his commandments, and there are not ten, but two, and they are contained in Matthew 7:12, above.

>>>To claim these are no longer in effect because of the priceless act of a sacrifice (grace) that NONE can ever repay, borders on the liberal mindset.<<<

A "liberal" mindset is one that burdens the citizens with a myriad of Laws, like the Pharisees of old, and governments of today. Jesus, on the other hand, reduced everything to the simplest terms, for example, these are his Commandments:

"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." (Mat 22:36-40 KJV)

It is certainly good to do the other commandments, and Jesus never said it was not a good thing. But my interpretation is, if you follow Matthew 7:12 you are following all the commandments. This is the verse, again"

"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." (Mat 7:12 KJV)
