When Jesus rose from the dead, He brought many back to life with Him. Ephesians 4. The resurrection from the death of holiness carries a different glory than the resurrection from the death of sin.

Every time you overcome a challenge in Jesus' name, you go through it on behalf of others and bring some back to life with you. Conversely, when you sin and fall, you lead others toward darkness and the grave.

It pains me to see those who choose rebellion and death because I desire to bring life, not death. When godly people die, I find comfort in knowing they are alive and will rise again with me. God will not allow His Holy One to rot.

Choose life so that we may receive His glory and light. If we choose death and evil, more darkness will follow. Ultimately, God reserves all authority over life and death. He initiates life and brings it to an end.

It was the Spirit of Christ who preached through Noah to the souls to repent and turn away from their sins. After Jesus died and was made alive, Jesus went and proclaimed to the imprisoned spirits. 1 Peter 3.

Hades is a place where all the dead awaited judgment. The Lake of Fire is where the wicked went after judgment. Jude 1:23. For those who place their trust and faith in Jesus, He not only forgives their sin but also frees them from the power of sin and death.

The voice of the innocent cries out to God from the Land. Revelation 6:10 describes the souls of martyrs crying out to God, asking how long it will be before he judges and avenges their blood on those who dwell on the earth.

“Truly, I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming into his kingdom.” Matthew 16:28

He is the Judge. His eye pierces into your heart & reveals its depths. It's all brought into his light. There is no hiding from him. And it all has to be accounted for. "I didn't know" is no excuse for his Spirit testifies and it knocks at the door. You can't hide behind a locked door. He is coming. But his people, they are in their locked door & he's opening it to set them free & bring them home to him. They rejoice at the door opening.

I like all the threads. They spur righteous conversation, & it's something that's been requested here, people didn't like all the threads on dating :)

He bought you completely.
He didn't buy you halfway,
he didn't buy you with the possibility of returning you,
he didn't buy some of you now & will buy some of you later
He either bought or you or he didn't.
He bought all of you now.
He bought you knowing everything about you, there's not something in you he didn't know about

To put it in this thread's terms, he paid for his captives & they belong to him now

But - he bought you not intending to keep you the way he bought you.

John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.

Is there anything new or unexpected that the Lord is unprepared for?
No, b/c he’s the one who prepared & is preparing it all

We discussed more about God dwelling with us in church Sunday, how he dwells in the church the body of believers. It's not the main topic but you can't avoid it w/ the Gospel. I'll share later! :)

The voice of the innocent cries out to God from the Land.

The voice of the blood of your brother cries out to Me from the adamah, (Gen 4:10).
But did you receive that also from Henok the Prophet, (Enoch 9:1-4)? If so, good for you. :)

Revelation 6:10 describes the souls of martyrs crying out to God, asking how long it will be before he judges and avenges their blood on those who dwell on the earth.

The altar is an altar of adamah, (Exo 20:24a), which is the soil of the heart, (parable of the sower), for the kingdom of Elohim is within us, (Luk 17:20-21), and the Testimony of the Master is the Spirit of the Prophecy, (of the Apocalypse, Rev 19:10).

I'm building myself here.
Feast of Tabernacles is in The Book of Revelation. Don't you celebrate God's dwelling with us?
John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.

If you build it they will come, (Jhn 14:23).

Exodus 25:1-9 KJV
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.
3 And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,
4 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
5 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]tim wood,
6 Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,
7 Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.
8 And let them make me a sanctuary; [miqdash, (smaller, more like a chapel)] that I may dwell among them.
9 According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, [Mishkan, (the greater, the pattern for the miqdash-body-temple-chapel)] and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.

Ezekiel 11:15-20 KJV
15 Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the LORD: unto us is this land [eretz-land] given in possession.
16 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, [eretz-land] yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary [miqdash-chapel] in the countries [eretz-land] where they shall come.
17 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries [eretz-land] where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land [adamah-soil] of Israel.
18 And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

Eretz ~ outward.
Adamah ~ inward.
