The Rest of the Law - Part 5 Biblical Slavery

Date: 02/01/2001 Issue Number: 145

One reason we have entitled this series "The Rest of the Law" is because it has a double meaning. The first meaning is that this deals with the laws following the Ten Commandments, completing the law, or giving specific statutes and judgments that define the Ten Commandments in more detail. The second meaning of our title uses the term "rest" in the sense of the absence of works. In other words, our view of the law is not something that is laborious and "grievous" as a heavy burden to

The Rest of the Law - Part 4 The Masters of Murder

Date: 01/01/2001 Issue Number: 144

The next laws that we find in Exodus 21 are laws regarding murder and accidental homicide. Exodus 21:12 says, 12 He who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death. This law did not begin with Moses, but with Noah in Genesis 9:5, 6. Other than God's command not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil at the beginning, this was really the first law that God made man responsible to enforce. I have observed in the newspapers many cases of murder. I do not recall at any time seei

The Rest of the Law - Part 3 Perpetual Bondservants

Date: 12/01/2000 Issue Number: 143

The laws of bondservants are particularly applicable to us today, because we are to be God's bondservants. For this reason Paul calls himself a bondservant (slave) of Jesus Christ in Romans 1:1. In other words, justification sets us free from the slavery of sin and (ultimately) death, but we are now slaves of Jesus Christ and righteousness. In other words, we have not been redeemed so that we can do as we please; we are slaves purchased by Jesus Christ. Our new Master loves us, but this is no reason why we sho

The Rest of the Law - Part 2 Building Altars

Date: 11/01/2000 Issue Number: 142

How to Build an Altar Israel heard God speak the Ten Commandments by a voice from the mount. But only Moses heard the rest of the law, because all the others refused to hear it directly from God. They wanted Moses to tell them what God said, so he did so. The difference is that the people received the law on external tablets, rather than having it written on their hearts by the spiritual process of hearing God's voice. As we have seen already, the first law that Moses heard was to have no gods of gold or silver,

The Rest of the Law - Part 1 The First Law

Date: 10/01/2000 Issue Number: 141

In Exodus 20 God gave Israel the Ten Commandments. By the time God had finished speaking, the people had broken all the Olympic records in their haste to get away as far as possible. They said to Moses in verse 19, 19 . . . Speak to us yourself and we will listen; but let not God speak to us, lest we die. Moses urged the people to draw near to God, but they refused. So Moses himself went up the mount to receive the rest of the law. He returned and related to them what he had heard. These laws are recorded from Ex

Authority in God's Vineyard - Part 4 The Feast of Tabernacles (CONT)

Date: 09/01/2000 Issue Number: 140

There were three times in the year when all the men of Israel were called to stand before God (Ex. 34:23). The feast of Tabernacles was the third and final time. It was the most joyous of the three festivals, a time of thanksgiving for all the fruits of the land that had been harvested. The harvests had begun with the firstfruits of the barley offered on the wave-sheaf offering after Passover. Seven weeks later, on Pentecost, the two loaves of wheat that had been baked with leaven were offered to God to remember t

Authority in God's Vineyard - Part 3 The Feast of Tabernacles

Date: 08/01/2000 Issue Number: 139

We showed in our last issue the 50-Jubilee cycle from the building of Jerusalem's wall in Nehemiah's day (445 B.C.) to the year 2006 A.D. We saw the importance of this time period after the first 10 Jubilees (490 years), for it concluded with the commissioning of the Apostle Paul on his first missionary journey (Acts 13). It was also 50 Jubilees (2,450 years) from Adam to the day the 12 spies gave their report in Numbers 13 and 14. In other words, it took a Jubilee of Jubilees for God to bring Israel to the place

Authority in God's Vineyard - Part 2 Ministry of the Priesthood

Date: 07/01/2000 Issue Number: 138

The actual 120th Jubilee from Adam occurred in October 1986. This was when the Church was supposed to declare the Jubilee--but did not do so. If the Church had taken heed to the call to prayer issued by the Net of Prayer (and others) from 1981-1986, I believe God would have given to someone the revelation of timing during that time, and the Church would then have understood what it ought to do. However, they showed a strange and unexplainable lack of interest in seeking the heart of God. We now understand that we

Authority in God's Vineyard - Part 1 Fruit Bearing Trees

Date: 06/01/2000 Issue Number: 137

Having given you a fairly complete picture of the "man of sin" in our previous series, and how he rules from a temple that is not inhabited by the Holy Spirit (i.e., from Herod's temple), modern prophetic events start to become clear. The modern Israeli state is NOT the Kingdom of God, nor will the Jews as a people establish that Kingdom. If they succeed in building a temple there, there will be no outpouring of the Spirit there, nor will that temple ever be inhabited by God's presence. Jeremiah 7 made it clear th

The Second Coming of Jesus and Judas - Part 5 Man of Sin

Date: 05/01/2000 Issue Number: 136

There is only one Church, but it is developing in three stages throughout history. Stage One began with Moses and ended with Jesus. I call it the Passover Church, because it really began at the first Passover, when Israel was called out of Egypt, and it ended at the Cross, when Jesus was crucified at Passover. In Stage One, Israel was "the Church in the wilderness" (Acts 7:38), because "the Church" means the called-out ones. Israel was called out of Egypt. Between the Cross and the day of Pente

The Second Coming of Jesus and Judas - Part 4 Usurping the Birthright

Date: 04/01/2000 Issue Number: 135

There were two Judases in the New Testament, one good and one not so good. Judas Iscariot, as we have seen, betrayed Jesus. The other Judas was Jesus' half-brother along with James (Matt. 13:55; Mark 6:3). The writer of the book of Jude identifies himself in verse 1 in this way: 1 Jude, a bond-servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are the called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ. This good Jude (short for Judas) considered himself to be a bond-servant to his older hal

The Second Coming of Jesus and Judas - Part 3 The Betrayer

Date: 03/01/2000 Issue Number: 134

It has been assumed by most Bible teachers that apostasia refers to an apostasy in the sense of a falling away from the truth. This is generally connected to the man of sin being revealed, as if to say that the forsaking of the truth brings about the manifestation of the man of sin, i.e., the antichrist. I disagree with this completely. First of all, the so-called "apostasy" is a divorcement, a CASTING AWAY, not a "falling away." Secondly, Paul is telling us that the man of sin is going to be U
