And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

Isaiah prepares the way, to show how all was in darkness, so all can go to the light, everyone who does not go to the light, remains in their same darkness.



The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light.

the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people.

the Gentiles shall come to thy light,




Isaiah 9:1Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.


Isaiah 60:2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.





the light shined as told it would, John sent from God bears witness of that light, the darkness does not recognise light.

the true Light, lights every man that comes into the world.




John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

John 1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.





no man has seen God at any time, the Son of God, the only begotten Son,declares who the Father is, John told who he was, the voice making the way of the Lord straight.

Jesus Christ, the blessed and only Potentate,is the only who has immortality,,dwells in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man has seen, nor can see.




John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

John 1:23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

1 Timothy 615 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.




John bearing witness of the light, tells the disciples who will be the disciples of Jesus, to behold the Lamb of God, they then follow that light, Jesus Christ, which takes away the sin of the world.





John 1:29The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.


John 1:35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.





Jesus manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on Him.

Nicodemus came to Jesus by night time, Jesus answers that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

Jesus tells that every one that does evil hates the light, and does not to the light, to be reproved.

Jesus tells that them who do truth come to the light, that their deeds may be made manifest, to be wrought in God.





John 2:11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.


John 3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.




When John was put in prison, He left Nazareth, and came to the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim, fulfilling what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, the people which sat in darkness saw great light.

From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Jesus being that light shining in the darkness calls the disciples, who see that light, ang go to Jesus.




Matthew 4:12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim.



Matthew 4:14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.




Jesus declaring the Father, preaches to the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

To they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.

To the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

To those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.




Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.





Jesus declaring the Father, preaches that all things are delivered unto Him of His Father, that no man knows the Son, but the Father; and that no man knows the Father, save the Son, and then to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.

Jesus preaches to come unto Him, all them that labour and are heavy laden, and He will give them rest.

To take His yoke upon you, and learn of Him, for He is meek and lowly in heart.




Matthew 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.





Jesus declaring the Father, preaches the kingdom, the light shining in darkness.


The people first called were not worthy.


Jesus does send those same disciples, who showed that the life was manifested, and they have seen it, and bear witness.


Jesus instructed them that as many as they shall find, to bid to the marriage supper of the Lamb.

Jesus shows how this is many called, but few chosen.


No wedding garment, no worthiness, no belief in the worthiness of the Lamb.

Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.





Matthew 22:8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

Matthew 22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

Matthew 22:12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

1 John1:2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

Revelation 5:12Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

Revelation 19:9And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.





The disciples of Jesus preach Christ crucified, unto them which are called, this is Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God, unto all others it is foolishness.

We see our calling, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.

God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.

All things that are reproved are made manifest by the light.

Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light.

The true light now shines.

He that says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness even until now.

He that loves his brother abides in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.





1 Corinthians 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

1 Corinthians 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

Ephesians 5:13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

1 John 2:8 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.
9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

all men drawn, is all men saved, who saves themselves by hearing Christ who died for all ,testified to all men now.
False, Salvation is of God, you are promoting salvation by works. Christs Death effects Salvation for all whom are saved, meaning His Sheep or Gods Elect.

salvation is by believing in Christ being lifted up from the earth, in the work of
the cross, in his work of faith with power, not as the liars who deny the power of gods resurrection.


Romans 1:4
And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

1 Corinthians 1:18
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.



1 Thessalonians 1:3
Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

2 Thessalonians 1:11
Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

2 Timothy 3:5
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.



Acts 238 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

Hebrews 7:16
Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

Christs Death effects Salvation for all whom are saved, meaning His Sheep or Gods Elect.
the sheep believe that Christ reconciled all things to himself, that Christ is the saviour of all men, that the apostles exhorted, testified, and persuaded the people, that every one of them could receive the gift of the holy ghost, there is no restriction in Christ, Christ died for all who hear and follow, automatically someone is a goat, by their own rejection that god so loved the world that he did give his son as a whole complete ransom for all.





Acts 2823 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.

24 And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.

Colossians 1:20
And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.


1 Timothy 2:4
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

1 Timothy 4:10
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.



1 Peter 510 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.

elect are for obedience, the blood of Christ, and sanctification of the spirit. the called/ elect make sure they never fail, remembering all of these things together, and that Christ is all and in all, not that he is some and died for some. then as the elect of god, believing in the sincerity of Christ, they put on bowels of mercies also for all men, not following false cruel nonsense to only be kind to a select few.





John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.



Titus 3:4
But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,


Colossians 311 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;


1 Peter 1:2
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

2 Peter 1:10
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

Believing in Christ is the result of Salvation, its the result of Christ having been lifted up.

the sheep believe that Christ reconciled all things to himself,

They believe because Christ died for them to believe. Believing in Christ is one of the many Spiritual Blessings Christs death effects, applies.

If one never believes in Jesus, its because they were not one of the Sheep Christ died for. Jn 10:26
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

You fail to give God the credit for one believing in Christ.

all men sinned, and sin passed upon all men, many were dead by the offence from one, many abound in the grace of god by the gift of grace.

judgement came upon all men to condemnation, [the flood condemned the old world of the ungodly. Hebrews 11.7. 2 peter 2.5. the new life is after the flood, saved by water in Christ. 1 peter 3.20-21.]


by the righteousness of one, the free gift of grace came upon all men unto justification of life.

by one man's disobedience many were made sinners.

by the obedience of one many shall be made righteous.


in Adam all die, in Christ shall all be made alive.





Romans 512 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Romans 515 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

Romans 518 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.




1 Corinthians 1521 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

If one never believes in Jesus, its because they were not one of the Sheep Christ died for. Jn 10:26
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
the works jesus did in the fathers name gave witness, sheep believe, because they do not have hardened hearts of unbelief, as we see in the jews disputing with jesus, instead of a heart of belief and trust you see in sheep, goats do not trust nor follow as we see sheep do in animals, and this same way in man.

Jesus does not speak to those who are not his sheep, as though they will never be his sheep, that is your lack of understanding, Jesus exhorts those same hardened disputers to believe the works the shepherd of the sheep does, to know and believe the father is in the son, and the son in him.



John 10:25
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.

John 1037 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.


Hebrews 312 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

Christ died for us all when yet sinners, all are equal, none are above or below another, Christ dies for thieves, liars, murderers, even the chief of sinners, is the chief to testify this to all, you are establishing the testimony, it cannot be denied.


god gave a measure of faith to every man, that is how every man can believe in god, by believing in the words of life which bring life to all who hear them, and to recognise the antichrist spirit tries to resist.




Romans 39 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;




Romans 323 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.




Romans 58 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.


2 Corinthians 514 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.


Romans 12:3
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

now all can see that Christ had to die for all, as all were dead there is no exception, there is no other answer, the same as all were included in the condemnation through Adam, so all also are included in the righteousness in Christ, only inequality sees inequality in Christ, which is the crooked serpents path, but the path of Christ is straight.

jesus told the jews he that hears his word and believes on the father escapes the condemnation,[of adam] the jews were told to search the scriptures, as their dispute meant only that they were not coming to christ to have life.

peter tells the previous non believers, they witnessed the resurrection of christ, tellng them they now see and hear what christ then received of the father, which was the gift of the holy ghost for them

this lets all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom they crucified, both Lord and Christ.


John 5:24
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.


John 539 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

peter then tells those jews who were not sheep, to be the betrayers and murderers, whosoever calls on the name of the lord shall be saved.


instead of the hardened heart of unbelief they had without the grace of god now shed into them, they were moved to belief in their heart, peter tells them all, repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.



Acts 221 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:


Acts 232 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.


Acts 236 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.

John 1037 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.


Hebrews 312 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

Christ died for us all when yet sinners, all are equal, none are above or below another, Christ dies for thieves, liars, murderers, even the chief of sinners, is the chief to testify this to all, you are establishing the testimony, it cannot be denied.


god gave a measure of faith to every man, that is how every man can believe in god, by believing in the words of life which bring life to all who hear them, and to recognise the antichrist spirit tries to resist.




Romans 39 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;




Romans 323 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.




Romans 58 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.


2 Corinthians 514 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.


Romans 12:3
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
Again you fail to God the Credit for one believing on Christ. God in Christ is to be Thanked for ones obeying the Truth Rom 6:17

17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

Thats because God sent Christ to redeem them from sin and unbelief.
