Randy says that there is goodness in all, in a delayed or unrecognised manner. That would be fine, but once the testimony of Christ was told to the world, the commandment to repent was given to all men, so the sin that became death was unbelief.
Sabbath blessings says that the covenant of the new testament is the same as given to the children of Israel in the first covenant, recognising no difference in the laws to be written in the heart, but there is a difference according to the entire testimony of scripture, which is understanding what that covenant is. ( seen below)
Below, and to everyone, who ever reads in this THREAD, I BEGAN, is to show we are JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, to have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Isaiah 24 shows the breaking of the everlasting covenant is by all inhabitants of the earth.
Isaiah 24:3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word.
4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
Now Ezekiel 16, first lets Jerusalem to know its history with the Lord.
Jerusalem was not very impressive, it had birth in the land of Canaan, with the father an Amorite and the mother a Hittite. and the Lord spread HIs skirt over Jerusalem, covering Jerusalem's nakedness ( shame) and swore unto Jerusalem and entered into a covenant, said the Lord and Jerusalem became His ( marriage covenant.) and anointed Jerusalem with oil. ( Exodus 29:21.)
Jerusalem prospered into a kingdom, and had the renown go forth to the heathen, and Jerusalem trusted in her own beauty, and was a harlot because of the renown that went forth to the heathen, and poured out fornications. ( mother of harlots, mystery. Revelation 17:5.)
A weak heart to do the work of a whorish woman, by building high places, to not be as a harlot not wanting to be hired, but to be as a WIFE THAT COMMITS ADULTERY, who takes strangers instead of her husband. ( now we know why adultery exists in the world, it emphasises Jerusalem and reminds what Jerusalem did against God, by the adultery that continues everywhere in the entire world.)
Revelation 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.
Ezekiel 16:2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.
Ezekiel 16:8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord God, and thou becamest mine.
9 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
Ezekiel 16:13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.
14 And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord God.
15 But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
Ezekiel 16:30 How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord God, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman;
31 In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;
32 But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband!
This PROVERB is against Jerusalem, of Jerusalem doing as the mother did, ( the mother of harlots) to despise her husband and her children ( Jerusalem's daughters.) and to be the sister of those who also loathed their husbands and their children ( their daughters) Jerusalem's mother was a Hittite ( the mother of harlots, mystery Babylon.) and the father an Amorite. The elder sister of Jerusalem is Samaria, ( and her daughters) and her younger sister is Sodom. ( and her daughters.)
When God would bring again the captivity of Sodom and her daughters and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then God will bring again the captivity of Jerusalem's captives in the middle of them. That is Jerusalem bearing her own shame, and also be confounded in being now a comfort to unto Samaria and to Sodom. ( being the reason why Samaria and Sodom are brought again from their captivity.) Jerusalem's sisters, Samaria and her daughters, and Sodom and her daughters, return to their former estate, THEN Jerusalem and her daughters shall return to their former estate.
Jerusalem did not mention her sister Sodom in the day of her PRIDE. The day of Jerusalem's pride was when her wickedness was discovered, the time of reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, who despise Jerusalem round about her. ( the renown went forth to the heathen and played the harlot with every one that passed by/and then scorned to be hired. ( Ezekiel 16:14-15.16:31)
Ezekiel 16:44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
45 Thou art thy mother's daughter, that lotheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, which lothed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
Ezekiel 16:46 And thine elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
Ezekiel 16:53 When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:
54 That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.
55 When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.
Ezekiel 16:56 For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride,
57 Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of thy reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which despise thee round about.
God declared He will deal with Jerusalem as Jerusalem had doe, who had DESPISED the oath ( which God had sworn unto Jerusalem. Ezekiel 16:8. ) in BREAKING THE COVENANT.
Even after that, ( which was done, to deal with Jerusalem who ended that covenant.) God remembers that covenant he had previously had with Jerusalem in her youth, and so established unto Jerusalem an EVERLASTING COVENANT, and Jerusalem will remember her ways and be ashamed by the receiving of her sisters, Samaria and Sodom, and gives them to JERUSALEM for DAUGHTERS, but NOT BY THEIR COVENANT. ( WHICH THEY BROKE AND WHICH ENDED..)
God established HIs covenant with Jerusalem, and they will know that God is the Lord, remembering and being confounded and never opening Jerusalem's mouth any more, when God would be pacified toward Jerusalem for all she had done. ( redemption, forgiveness, a new covenant ESTABLISHED ON BETTER PROMISES/SWORE/OATH.)
Hebrews 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
Ezekiel 16:59 For thus saith the Lord God; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.
61 Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.
62 And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord:
63 That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord God.
All the prophets confirm this. Isaiah says to speak comfortably to Jerusalem, her warfare accomplished, her iniquity pardoned, she received double of the Lord's hand for all her sins. ( as Ezekiel 16 points out.) This is the beginning of that new covenant to be revealed, and of the iniquity of Jerusalem ( as Ezekiel 16 detailed) to be pardoned by God, of preparing the way of the Lord, making straight in the desert ( in the wilderness where Jerusalem received her covenant) a highway for our God.
Isaiah 40:1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins.
3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Our God did as Ezekiel 16 and all the prophets had told, to establish the everlasting covenant, in His own blood, shed for many for the remission of sins.
More than the first covenant to cover the things with blood, we have to drink His blood to have Him dwell within us in FAITH. ( not ONLY SPRINKLING as in the first covenant, where the people were SPRINKLED/LAW and NOT BY FAITH.) TO the blood of sprinkling of JESUS THE MEDIATOR OF THE NEW COVENANT, THAT SPEAKS BETTER THINGS than, that of Abel. ( BETTER THAN THE LAW/FIRST COVENANT DEDICATED IN CALVES AND GOATS BLOOD/THE MEDIATOR OF A BETTER COVENANT/NOT POSSIBLE THAT THE BLOOD OF BULLS AND OF GOATS SHOULD TAKE AWAY SINS/WHEN HE COMES INTO THE WORD HE SAYS, SACRIFICE AND OFFERING HE WOULD NOT, BUT A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED ME.)
By means of death Christ redeems the transgressions that were under the first covenant, for those who are called ( to the new covenant/marriage) might receive the promise ( OATH OF GOD.) of eternal inheritance.
Hebrews 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
Hebrews 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
Hebrews 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Hebrews 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
Matthew 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Now we know what covenant exactly was established between all nations of the world and with God, ( Jerusalem and Samaria and Sodom.) Samaria the elder sister according to Ezekiel 16, received the word of God, that was foretold to be the beginning of that covenant to also afterwards be with Jerusalem, to be established, so we see it WAS.
The younger sister Sodom also spiritually is Jerusalem, where also our Lord was crucified.
Acts 8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
Revelation 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
All that is left to confirm is the same covenant to be established with Jerusalem afterwards, but NOT BY THEIR COVENANT.
We saw in Ezekiel 16, Jerusalem had not mentioned her sisters Samaria and Sodom in the day of her PRIDE.. The same is reminded to Samaria ( the Gentiles now in the new covenant) how the branches ( of Jerusalem) were BROKEN OFF ( Jerusalem had DESPISED and BROKEN their covenant. Ezekiel 16. Isaiah 24.) by no FAITH, and how the Gentiles now stand by FAITH, to NOT BE HIGHMINDED, but to FEAR.
Regarding the new covenant ( that is NOT ACCORDING TO THER COVENANT. Ezekiel 16.) Jerusalem are able to be graffed back in, if they do not remain in unbelief, ( FAITH TO ENTER.) and that blindness happened unto Israel until the fulness of the Gentiles is come in.
THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM WHEN I SHALL TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS. ( Out of Sion comes the deliverer, and shall turn away UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB.)
God concluded all of them ( Jerusalem in their covenant.) in unbelief, ( in despising and breaking the covenant.) to have merc upon all. ( mercy upon Jerusalem's sisters, Samaria and Sodom, the comfort Jerusalem gave to them by justifying her sisters. JUSTIFIED THROUGH FAITH.)
Romans 11:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Romans 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Ezekiel 16:52 Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.
Romans 5: Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
but we are free to follow someone else.
