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)”.

First: Respect. Thank you for that. And it is most certainly reciprocated.

But, my answer to your post will take a bit of time (mainly my take on Rood), and I am so bleary-eyed that I can no longer see the writing on the monitor... So I bid you a good night, and I will pick this up tomorrow. Thx again for your kind reply.

Torah is the “Law of Liberty,” as opposed to the Pharisees’ “ordinances” that were “hung on the cross.”

BS. That is a lie from the pit of hell.

The Phariees' *ordinances* were not what Jesus died to set us free from because nobody was ever under them.

Jesus did not come to fulfill the traditions of the Pharisees. The traditions of the Pharisees were not legally binding on the Jews, nor anyone else.

It's through the Law that came the knowledge of sin and where the Law is, there is death. The LAW is the thing that works death. THAT is what Jesus set us free from.

Colossians 2:13-18 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.

Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind, and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.

Romans 3:19-31 Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.

But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, since God is one—who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.

Until ALL is fulfilled in both the law and the prophets, the Mosaic covenant is still in effect.

And in Christ, who fulfilled them, we are counted as having fulfilled them. Therefore the power of sin has been broken for us who have put our faith in Christ for righteousness.

So no matter if we sin or not, God sees us with the righteousness of Christ imputed to us.

It doesn't matter one bit if we can keep the Law perfectly once we accept Christ. We have already sinned once and that sealed our doom. We are destined for hell.

Keeping the Torah will NOT change that because he who sinned once is guilty of the whole Law. We are under its penalty and can only be freed from that by Jesus, being found in Him not having a righteousness of our own.

They asserted a right to replace Torah with their false “oral Torah” which was what Yeshua castigated them for constantly.

Replace?

Or add to??

What out of that verse gives you the idea that any Pharisee ever followed so much as a single word of Torah?

What is it in the NT that gives YOU the idea that they NEVER followed ANYTHING of 'torah' at all?

He said that “Ye see HOW that by works a man is justified. Are you ignoring the meaning of the whole chapter?

And every 'work' was an example of BELIEF; thus BELIEF without FAITH is dead.

We have even been told the New Testament we have in the original Greek is just a corrupted copy.

I find it amazing that EVERY group or individual that claims the way that THEY 'believe' is the proper way; ALL seem to have an idea that somehow the Bible is just not quite enough.

Heck; even those to so lovingly compiled and protected the bible are like this!

I stated plainly that “the House of Israel” was dispersed along the northern rim of the Mediterranean and that they very much knew who they were. They never did return, and now their descendants are spread across the world and many of them do not realize who they are, while others do indeed know.<>P>Thus: Lamanites & Nephites.

There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.

“If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.

This approach indicates he is selling his books more than preaching the Word of God.

That's because you Satanists need the BOOKs to understand the Word of GOD!
