  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

UNTIL THE DAY BREAK, (DAWN) AND THE...SHADOWS...FLEE AWAY.

God created all of the heavens and the earth in six days, BY FAITH and then on the seventh day ended His work which He had made, and rested from all His work which He had made, and blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it, BECAUSE IN IT HE HAD RESTED FRO ALL HIS WORK WHICH GOD CREATED AND MADE.

THROUGH FAITH, we understand, that the worlds were framed by the WORD OF GOD.

Jesus the author and finisher of OUR FAITH, for the joy set BEFORE HIM ( HIS REST) He endured the cross, and is SET DOWN (ENTERED INTO HIS REST.) at the right hand of the throne of God.

We were foolish and disobedient, deceived, we served our own pleasures, we lived in malice and envy, hating one another. The KINDNESS and LOVE of our Saviour APPEARED. (NOT WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH WE HAVE DONE.) according to HIs mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and the renewing of the HOLY GHOST. (shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour, being JUSTIFIED by His GRACE, MADE, heirs according to the HOPE of eternal life.

That is the first testimony of the worlds framed by the WORD of God, through FAITH, and of the Lord resting from all His works He had made in SIX DAYS, and BLESSING THE SEVENTH DAY, which is NOT WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH WE HAVE DONE, but the LORDS WORKS HE HAD DONE IN CREATNG THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH IN SIX DAYS, and HE SAW AND BEHOLD IT WAS VERY GOOD. (NOT BY WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH WE HAVE DONE, but ACCORDING TO HIS MERCY HE SAVED US, by THE washing of REGENERATION, and RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST, shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour/Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our FAITH; who for the JOY THAT WAS SET BEFORE HIM endured the cross, despising the shame, and is SET DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE THRONE OF GOD.




Genesis 1:31 And God saw EVERY THING HE HAD MADE, and, BEHOLD, IT WAS VRY GOOD. And the evening and the morning were the SIXTH DAY.

Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.


Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Titus 3:3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.






God gave the ten commandments to Moses to give to the people of Israel.

God commanded the men of Israel to not have other gods before the Lord, to not take His name in vain.

Then the Lord first speaks of remembering the sabbath day to keep it holy, that the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord your God, and in it you shall do no work, for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day, and the Lord BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY, and MADE IT HOLY. ( it is not by works of righteousness which we have done, it is belief in the worlds framed by the WORD of God in SIX DAYS, and THE LORD RESTED ON THE SAVENTH DAY, by HIs kindness He saved us, by the washing of regeneration and the renewing of the HOLY GHOST/ to Him the GENTILES SEEK, and HIS REST SHALL BE GLORIOUS/ought not Christ to have suffered these things and to ENTER INTO HIS GLORY.)

Commanded to honour your mother and father. It is the first commandment with PROMISE, to LIVE LONG ON THE EARTH. ( belief in the Son honouring the Father unto eternal life/HE THAT DOES NOT HONOUR THE SON, DOES NOT HONOUR THE FATHER WHICH HAS SENT HIM.)

Commanded to not kill, steal, commit adultery, false witness, or covet. Jesus Christ is not commanded what transgressors of the law are commanded, as they are all with sin, but our Holy High priest is WITHOUT SIN, which BECAME US, and the Son is CONSECRATED FOR EVER MORE.




Ephesians 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
3 That it may be well with thee, and THOU MAYEST LIVE LONG ON THE EARTH.

Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: THAT THY DAYS MAY BE LONG upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

John 5:23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

John 8:49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I HONOUR MY FATHER, and YE DO DISHONOUR ME.

Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Hebrews 7:26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.


Exodus 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.


Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Exodus 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.


Isaiah 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

Luke 24:26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?



Truly the children of Israel they shall keep, it is a SIGN between the Lord and them through their generations, that they may know that He is the Lord that sanctifies them. They shall keep the sabbath therefore, it is holy unto them, every one that defiles it SHALL BE PUT TO DEATH.

Six days work may be done, but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord, wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe through their generations, for perpetual covenant. It is a SIGN between the Lord and the children of Israel for ever: FOR IN SIX DAYS THE LORD MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH, and on the SEVENTH DAY HE RESTED, and was REFRESHED. The Lord gave unto Moses two tables of TESTIMONY, tables of stone, written with the finger of God. (REPENT you therefore, and BE CONVERTED, that YOUR SINS MAY BE BLOTTED OUT, when the TIMES OF REFRESHING SHALL COME FROM THE PRESENSE OF THE LORD/Whom the heaven must receive until the TIMES OF RESTitution OF ALL THINGS.)





Exodus 31:13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you.
14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.

Acts 3:21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.





The people of Israel/the people that walked in darkness, DWELLING in the LAND OF THE SHADOW of death.

Neither do they say, where is the Lord that brought them up out of the land of Egypt that led them through the wilderness, through a land of the SHADOW of death.

Them which SAT in the REGION AND SHADOW of death, to give light to them that SIT in darkness, and in the SHADOW of death, to GUIDE THEIR FEET TO THE WAY OF PEACE.




Isaiah 9:2 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.

Jeremiah 2:6 Neither said they, Where is the Lord that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?


Matthew 4:16 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.

Luke 1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.






The Lord spoke to Moses, how long that people provoke Him, how long will it be until they BELIEVE HIM, for all the signs which He had shown unto them.

The Lord pardoned according t the WORD OF MOSES, but said as truly as He lives, the earth shall be FILLED WITH THE GLORY OF THE LORD.

Those men which saw HIS GLORY, and did not hear HIs voice, the Lord SWORE SAYING SURELY THEY SHALL NOT SEE THE LAND, which He SWORE TO TEIR FATHERS, but His servant Celeb shall see because HE HAD ANOTHER SPIRIT WITH HIM. ( to follow fully the Lord and his SEED SHALL POSESS THE LAND.)

The Lord spoke saying how long did He have to bear with this EVIL CONGREGATION, the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, the Lord said to them, as truly as He lives, He will do as they had spoken, their carcasses shall FALL IN THAT WILDERNESS, all of them twenty years and upward, they will no doubt not come into the land H swore to make them dwell there, only Caleb and Joshua.


Their children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, bearing their whoredoms, until their fathers carcasses are wasted in the wilderness, for the forty days they SEARCHD THE LAND, each day for a year, they shall BEAR THEIR INIQUITIES, even forty years they shall KNOW THE BREACH OF PROMISE THEY HAVE CAUSED.

The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, BECAUSE THEY DID NOT BELIEVE HIM, to SANCTIFY HIM IN THE EYES OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, therefore they did not BRING THIS CONGREGATION INTO THE LAND WHICH HE HAD GIVEN THEM.

When the Lord sent you saying, go up and possess the land which He had given you, then you REBELLED AGAINST THE COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD YOUR GOD AND BELIEVED HIM NOT, nor HEARD HIS VOICE.






Numbers 14:11 And the Lord said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?

Numbers 14:20 And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.

Numbers 14:27 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
28 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.
30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

Numbers 14:32 But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.
33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.

Numbers 20:12 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

Deuteronomy 9:23 Likewise when the Lord sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.

The Lord heard and was wrath, BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED NOT IN GOD, and TRUSTED NOT IN HIS SALVATION. He had rained manna down on them to eat, the corn of heaven, angels food.

They SINNED STILL, and BELIEVED NOT, for HIs wondrous works.

They remembered that God was their rock, the High God their redeemer, they flattered Him with their mouth, they LIRD UNTO HIM WITH THEIR TONGUES.(THEIR HEART WAS NOT RIGHT WITH HIM, THEY WERE NOT STEDFAST IN HIS COVENANT.)

They tempted and provoked the Most High God, keeping not HIs testimonies, they turned back and DEALT UNFAITHFULLY lie their fathers.

He refused the TABERNACLE of Joseph, and chose the tribe of JUDAH, the mount Zion, He chose David HIs servant, and brought David to feed Jacob HIs people, so He fed them according to the INTEGRITY OF HIS HEART, and GUIDED them by the skilfulness of HIs hands.





Psalm 78:21 Therefore the Lord heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.

Psalm 78:32 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.
35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.

Psalm 78:56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:
57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

Psalm 78:67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
69 And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.
70 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
71 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
72 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.





Bow down and worship, kneel before our Maker, He is our God, we are HIs pasture, the sheep of His hand.

To day if you will HEAR HIS VOICE, HARDEN NOT YOUR HEARTS, as in the day of temptation in the wilderness, their fathers tempted Him proved Him and saw HIs work, forty years He was grieved with that generation, and said, IT IS A PEOPLE THAT DO ERR IN THEIR HEART, and THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN HIS WAYS, and He swore unto them in HIs wrath, they they SHOULD NOT ENTER INTO HIS REST.

He said He would destroy them, HAD MOSES HIS CHOSEN NOT STOOD BEFORE HIM IN THE BREACH, they DESPISED THE PLEASANT LAND, they BELIEVED NOT HIS WORD, they did not HEAAR THE VOICE OF THE LORD. He THEREFORE lifted up HIs hand against them to overthrow them in the wilderness, to overthrow THEIR SEED ALSO AMONG THE NATIONS.

They joined baal, they provoked Him to anger and the plague broke in upon them, then Phinehas STOOD UP, and EXECUTED JUDGEMENT, and the plague was stopped, and that was COUNTED UNTO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS, until all generations for evermore.





Psalm 95:6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker.
7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

Psalm 106:23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.
24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:
25 But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.
26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:
27 To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

Psalm 106:28 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.
30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.
31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.





They wandered in the wilderness and found no city, they cried unto the Lo and He delivered them, He led them forth BY THE RIGHT WAY, that they might go to a CITY OF HABITATION. (Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.)

Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, HIS WONDERFUL WORKS to the children of men, He satisfies the longing soul and FILLS THE HUNGRY SOUL WITH GOODNESS, such as SIT in darkness and in the SHADOW of death.

He brought down their hart with labour, they cried unto the Lord and He saved them out of their distresses,He brought them out of darkness and the SHADOW of death.





Psalm 107:4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

Psalm 107:12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
13 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Hebrews 13:12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.






The HOLY GHOST said, to day, if you will HEAR HIS VOICE, HARDEN NOT YOUR HEARTS, as in THE DAY of TEMPTATION IN THE WILDERNESS, your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw HIs works forty years. He was GRIEVED WITH THAT GENERATION, and said they ERR IN THEIR HEART, and they have NOT KNOWN HIS WAYS, so He SWORE in HIs wrath, they shall not ENTER INTO HIS REST.

Take heed there is not in us AN EVIL HEART OF UNBELIEF, DEPARTING FROM THE LIVING GOD, exhort one another while it is CALLED TO DAY, unless any of you be HARDENED THROUGH THE DECEITFULNESS OF SIN. (SIN IS UNBELIEF IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST TO SET US FREE.)

To day if you will HEAR HIS VOICE, HARDEN NOT YOUR HEART, as in the (day of) PROVOCATION, some heard and did provoke, but NOT ALL THAT CAME OUT OF EGYPT PROVOKED. (CALEB AND JOSHUA.)

God was grieved with the men that had sinned for forty years, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness. He sword to them that they would not enter into HIS REST, to them that BELIEVED NOT. We see that they COULD NOT ENTER IN BECAUSE OF UNBELIEF.






Hebrews 3:7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

Hebrews 3:12 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.

Hebrews 3:15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.





We FEAR unless a PROMISE left us of ENTERING INTO HIS REST, we should seem to COME SHORT OF IT.

The gospel was preached unto them, but the word preached did not PROFIT THEM, THEY HAD NO FAITH MIXED WITH IT IN THEM THAT HEARD IT.

We who BELIEVE ENTER INTO REST, as He had sworn in His wrath, if they should enter into His rest, ALTHOUGH THE WORKS WERE FINISHED FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. (WHEN GOD ENTERED INTO HIS REST on the seventh day, FROM HIS WORKS of making the heavens and the earth in six days, which HE HAD MADE BY FAITH/and NOT by WORKS OF RIGHTEOSNESS WHICH WE HAVE DONE/it is sanctified/made holy.)

They to whom it was peached first, ENTERED NOT IN BECAUSE OF UNBELIEF. ( IT REMAINS THEREFORE THAT SOME MUST ENTER THEREIN/SOME ENTERED IN WHICH CAME OUT OF EGYPT WITH MOSES/CALEB/.JOSHUA/WHO BELIEVED/MOSES and AARON did not believe in the Lord to SANCTIFY Him in the eyes of the children of Israel so did not lead that congregation into the land He had promised to give them.)

AGAIN GOD LIMITED A CERTAIN DAY, ( TO DAY IF YOU WILL HEAR HIS VOICE, harden not your hearts as in THE DAY OF PROVOCATION, WHEN THEY PROVOKED HIM and He swore that they shall NOT ENTER INTO HIS REST.) saying in David, TO DAY, AFTER SO LONG A TIME, if you will hear HIs voice harden not your hearts.

Jesus did NOT GIVE THEM REST, as He did not afterward speaking in David, spoke of ANOTHER DAY. There REMAINS THEREFORE A REST, to the PEOPLE OF GOD.

As God CEASED FROM HIS WORKS, (ENTERED INTO HIS REST.) WE CEASE FROM OUR OWN WORKS. (NOT BY WORKS OF RIGHTEOSNESS WHICH WE HAVE DONE, BUT BY THE WASHING OF REGENERATION AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST HE SAVD US.)

Let us LABOUR THEREFORE TO ENTER INTO THAT REST, unless any man FALL AFTER THE SAME EXAMPLE OF UNBELIEF.





Hebrews 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the SAME EXAMPLE OF UNBELIEF

They served unto the EXAMPLE AND SHADOW, of heavenly things, Moses was ADMONISHED to make all things according to the pattern showed him for the TABERNACLE.

The second veil, the TABERNACLE, which is called the Holiest of holies, which had the ark of the covenant, the pot tat had manna, Aarons rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant, and over it the cherubim's of glory, SHADOWING the mercy seat.

The HOLY GHOST signified that the way into the holiest of all was not yet MADE MANIFEST, while the FIRST TABERNACLE was yet standing, which was a FIGURE, for the time then present, offering gifts and sacrifices, that could not make the one doing the service perfect, in the conscience.

Christ came an High priest of GOOD THINGS TO COME, BY A GREATER MORE PERFECT TABERNACLE, by HIs own blood He entered in once INTO THE HOLY PLACE, having OBTAINED eternal redemption for us. How much shall the blood of Christ through the eternal Spirit who offered Himself without spot to God, PURGE OUR CONSCIENCE FROM DEAD WORKS, to SERVE THE LIVING GOD.

The PATTERNS of things in the heavens should be purified with those sacrifices in the law, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.


The FIGURES of the true are the holy places MADE WITH HANDS, Christ did not ENTER INTO THERE, BUT INTO HEAVEN ITSELF, NOW TO APPEAR IN THE PRESENSE OF GOD FOR US. ( ENTERED INTO HIS GLORIOUS REST.)






Hebrews 8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

Hebrews 9:3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;
4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

Hebrews 9:7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:
8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

Hebrews 9:11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Hebrews 9:23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:





The law had a SHADOW OF GOOD THNGS TO COME, (Christ came an High priest of GOOD THINGS TO COME, BY A GREATER MORE PERFECT TABERNACLE, by HIs own blood He entered in once INTO THE HOLY PLACE, having OBTAINED eternal redemption for us.) and not the VERY IMAGE of the things, can never make the comers with those sacrifices perfect.

Sacrifice and offering the Lord did not want, a body He has prepared Him, with sacrifices for sin HE has had NO PLEASURE ,in the volume of the book it is written of Him, HE DELIGHTS TO DO YOUR WILL, oh God. What was offered by the law, was taken away, that He may establish the second. ( THE FIRST LAW IS TAKEN AWAY, TO ESTABLISH THE LAW, THE SECOND LAW/WHICH IS THE LAW OF FAITH.)

Having therefore boldness to ENTER INTO THE HOLIEST BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS. (ENTER INTO HIS HOLY REST/CEASE FROM WORKS AS GOD DID FROM HIS.)
by a NEW AND CONSECRATED WAY, A LIVING WAY HE HAD FOR US, through the veil, THROGH HIS FLESH. (having therefore these PROMISES, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, PERFECTING HOLINEXS IN THE FEAR OF GOD.)





Hebrews 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

Hebrews 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

Hebrews 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

2 Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.






In Him is all the fulness of God and we are complete in Him, in Him we are CIRCUMCISED WITH THE CIRCUMCISION MADE WITHOUT HANDS, by the CIRCUMCISION OF CHRIST.

Blotting out the handwriting which was contrary unto us, NAILING IT TO HIS CROSS, taking it OUT OF THE WAY, ( the LAW CONTAINED IN ORDINANCES ABOLISHED IN HIS FLESH/MAKING IN HIMSELF ONE NEW MAN.)

No man judges you (FROM THE LAW) in meat, or a holy day, or of the sabbath days, THEY ARE ALL SHOWDOWS OF THINGS TO COME. (The law had a SHADOW OF GOOD THNGS TO COME, (Christ came an High priest of GOOD THINGS TO COME, BY A GREATER MORE PERFECT TABERNACLE, by HIs own blood He entered in once INTO THE HOLY PLACE, having OBTAINED eternal redemption for us.) and not the VERY IMAGE of the things, can never make the comers with those sacrifices perfect.)





Colossians 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

Colossians 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Ephesians 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;



MY BELOVED IS MINE AND I AM IS, HE FEEDS AMONG THE LILLIES

TWO YOUNG ROES THAT ARE TWINS, WHICH FEED AMONG THE LILLIES

UNTIL THE DAY BREAK AND THE SHADOWS FLEE AWAY I WILL GET ME TO THE MOUNTAIN OF MYRRH, AND TO THE HILLS OF FRAANKINCENCE. ( YOU ARE FAIR MY LOVE, THERE IS NO SPOT IN YOU.)

They presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.

With the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

Truly He was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you. (ALTHOUGH THE WORKS WERE FINISHED FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WEORLD/He ENTERED INTO HIS REST.)

By Jesus Christ we BELIEVE in God, who RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, and GAVE HIM GLORY, ( HIS REST SHAL BE GLORIOUS/OUGHT NOT CHRIST TO HAVE SUFFERED THESE THINGS AND TO ENTER INTO HIS GLORY.) that our FAITH and HOPE might be in God.

We have PURFIFIED OUR SOULS in obeying the truth/UNFEIGNED LOVE OF THE BROTHERS, see that we LOVE ONE ANOTHER WITH A URE HEAR FERVENTLY,, BEING BORN AGAIN, of INCORRUPTIBLE SEED, BY THE WORD OF GOD WHICH LIVES AND ABIDES FOR EVER.

A sure word of prophecy, which you do well to HEAR, as unto a light that shines in a dark place, UNTIL THE DAY DAWN, and the day star arise in your HEARTS.





Song of Solomon 2:16 My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.
17 UNTIL THE DAY BREAK, and the SHADOWS FLEE AWAY, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.

Song of Solomon 4:5 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.
6 UNTIL THE DAY BREAK, and the SHADOWS FLEE AWAY, I will get me to the mountain of MYRRH, and to the hill of FRANKINCENSE.
7 Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.

Matthew 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and FRANKINCENSE and MYRRH.


1 Peter 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

2 Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, UNTJIL THE DAY DAWN, and the day star arise in your hearts: (AND THE SHADOWS FLEE AWAY.)
