THE LION and LAMB

Image
By
There has always been two pictures throughout the Word of Yeshua. One is a suffering servant and the other is a conquering king. The Hebrew teachers call these two figures messiah son of Joseph and messiah son of David The reasoning, I think, was that Joseph suffered at the hands of his brothers, and the figure of  David was a king at the height of power. There is hidden meaning in that Joseph ruled among the Gentiles and David ruled with Israel. The Messiah must rule as both head of the Gentiles(the int'l church) and as king of Israel! He is both! David suffered at the hands of Saul, then ruled in Jerusalem. Joseph suffered at the hands of his brothers and in jail, and then ruled in Egypt. In Zechariah 9:9 Jesus is shown coming to Jerusalem in humility riding on a donkey. In Daniel 7:13-14, we see Him coming in the clouds! This picture of suffering can be seen as a slain lamb, the conquering King seen as a roaring lion...Yeshua IS both... "Behold the lion of the tribe of Judah the root of David has prevailed to open the scroll and its seven seals. And I looked and saw between the throne and the four creatures and among the elders, stood a lamb as if he was slain..."(Revelation 5:5-6).

Disposition of Messiah

By
Exodus 34:6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering , and abounding in goodness and truth... In this verse IS the disposition of Messiah. The early church used this important verse to judge prophecy and conduct in the church atmosphere. There were three elders who were in charge of hearing and deciding if what was said and done in that time was in the disposition of Messiah. In this very shaky and explosive time we are living in (exciting & wonderful time I might add) it would serve us well if we would write this verse on the tablet of our heart and in every circumstance, situation we find ourselves apply it rightly and justly. By doing this, we, as the body of Christ, will start looking like the "church" the public has never seen!!!

NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS

By Allan Pederson
IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, EVEN THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. COLOSSIANS 1:14... Did you know that the blood of a baby in the womb never comes in contact with the mother and that it is contributed by the male seed, not by the female egg? This was a divine plan of God when He designed men & women. God knew He would need to send a Savior into the world to redeem them!!! We all need a SAVIOR and only the blood of Jesus can cleanse us and make us white as snow!!! Redeem means to pay a price to ransom someone. Our redemption could only be bought with the perfect, pure blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus came from the Holy Spirit when He overshadowed Mary, therefore the blood of Jesus was completely pure. His blood was the only blood that could pay for our sins because it came directly from God and was never contaminated with sin. It was the perfect payment and sacrifice for our forgiveness!!!The blood of Christ is still cleansing and washing us today as much as it did two t...

COVENANT OF MULTIPLICATION

By
And I will make my covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly. Genesis 17:2... God made a number of covenants in the Old Testament and then concluded them all in Jesus Christ. The most well known of these covenants were with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and David. The verse above refers to the covenant made with Abraham. God promises He will multiply the blessings with the ones He is in covenant with. God multiplied Abraham, Issac and Jacob. He gave them the bounty and the Promised Land. He blessed those who blessed them and cursed those who cursed them. According to the history of the Bible and the testimony of the book of Jasher, the lineage of Abraham, Issac and Jacob were greatly feared among the nations because of the blessings of God that were on them. Our expectation and faith in what God will do for us is dependent upon knowing the promise of the covenant He has made with us. Galatians 3:14 states that the covenant blessing of Abraham is for us in the new cove...
