(2) -THE WORD OF GOD AND WHY THE RESSURECTION?

Many Christians I have met all know about the death of Jesus on the cross, and they know about the blood. That Jesus was the Lamb of God, the scapegoat, and the bronze serpent lifted up by Moses in the wilderness and that He was wounded for are transgressions. And they know about the resurrection in a sense of Jesus being the High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek making atonement for the saints also making intersession for them. But they do not understand all of why the death and resurrection was necessary why it had to be the Son of Yah the Word of God. Many also don’t know what we are to speak, and the power of the Word.

So I’ll start off by mentioning this scripture, as you read it I presume the Spirit of Yah will already give you a clue as to where I’m going with this, for Jesus teaches all who come to Him. But I’ll get into that later.
(“Heaven and earth will pass away, BUT MY WORDS WILL NOT PASS AWAY†Matthew 24:35, Mark 13:31, Luke 21:33)
Now according to this scripture here we notice that both the earth and all that is in it including you and the heavens would all pass away but the Words of the Father, consisting of His Son Yeshua/Jesus will not, and neither will the Father pass away either “…for He is not a man that He should LIE.†But we must understand that the knowledge of this scripture, and others like it are vital for us to have LIFE IN US. Now Moses was warning the saints of his time about the same thing. He said to them,
(“ TAKE TO YOUR HEART ALL THE WORDS with which I am warning you today, which you shall command your sons TO OBSERVE CAREFULLY, ALL THE WORDS of this law. FOR IT IS NOT AN IDLE WORD FOR YOU; INDEED IT IS YOUR LIFE. AND BY THIS WORD YOU WILL PROLONG YOUR DAYS in the land, which you are about to cross the Jordan to possess.†Deuteronomy 32:46 )
Jesus also while He was lead by the Spirit into the wilderness with the wild beast being tempted by satan for 40 days He replied to him,
(“It is written, MAN SHALL NOT LIVE on bread alone, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.â€Â)
Now in Deuteronomy 8:3 Moses said the same thing, but before it he said,
(“He humbled you and let you be hungry, and FED YOU WITH MANA WHICH YOU DID NOT KNOW, nor did your fathers, THAT HE MIGHT MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND that, man does not live by bread alone, but MAN LIVES BY EVERYTHING THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF YAHWAY.†Deuteronomy 8:3)
So we live by the Word of God, why? Notice the covenant in Isaiah,
("As for Me, this is My covenant with them," says Yahweh: "My Spirit-(Wind or Breath), which is upon you, and MY WORDS WHICH I HAVE PUT IN YOUR MOUTH SHALL NOT DEPART FROM YOUR MOUTH, nor from the mouth of your offspring, nor from the mouth of your offspring's offspring," says Yahweh, "from now and forever." Isaiah 59:21)
Now in the whole book of John this revelation is one of the main themes but I’m not going to write out the whole book of John for you. So now we know that Father God wants us to have His Word in us and not only that but have His Word in us forever. But concerning the True Manna from Heaven Jesus spoke this,
(“I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. THIS IS THE BREAD WHICH COMES DOWN OUT OF HEAVEN, SO THAT ONE MAY EAT OF IT AND NOT DIE, I AM THE LIVING BREAD THAT CAME DOWN OUT OF HEAVEN; IF ANYONE EATS OF THIS BREAD, HE WILL LIVE FOREVER...†John 6:48-51)
Later after saying other things, Disciples/Learners left Jesus because they did not understand. Cephas replied to Jesus this saying,
(“Lord, to whom shall we go? YOU HAVE THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE.â€Â)
Now after this next scripture I hope it is revealed to you the resurrection of Jesus. Now during the Passover feast before our Redeemer was lifted up. Jesus lifted His eyes up to heaven and spoke at the Father vital things, which I recommend you read all of it closely. But lets focus on this part of which He spoke for now,
(“I have MANIFESTED YOUR NAME to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, AND THEY HAVE KEPT YOUR WORD. Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is FROM You; FOR THE WORDS WHICH YOU GAVE ME I HAVE GIVEN TO THEM; and they RECEIVED and truly understood that I CAME FORTH FROM YOU, and they believed that You SENT Me.†John 17:6-8)
So now we know that those who kept the Words of Yeshua are now considered as now coming from the Father and then given to Yeshua. But before I go on farther I would like to add a quick interlude to this information from David “The Belovedâ€Â,
(“I will bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to YOUR NAME for Your loving kindness, and Your TRUTH. For YOU HAVE MAGNIFIED YOUR WORD ACCORDING TO ALL YOUR NAME.†Psalm 138:2)
So now we know what Jesus is speaking about when He is referring to His Name, so let us go again to John,
(“I Am no longer in the world; and they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them IN YOUR NAME, which You have GIVEN ME, that they may BE ONE even as WE. While I was with them, I was keeping them IN YOUR NAME, which YOU HAVE GIVEN ME; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled. But now I come to You; and THESE THINGS I SPEAK IN THE WORLD so that they may HAVE MY JOY made full in themselves. I have GIVEN THEM YOUR WORD; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I Am not of the world.†John 17:11-14)
Now pay attention all those spoken about here are those who keep the Words of Yeshua, which in turn is actually keeping what was spoken from the Father making all those whom the Word came to into one, just as the Son and the Father are One. Much earlier in John Jesus said this,
(“He who does not love Me does not keep My Words; and the Word which you hear is not Mine, but the Fathers who SENT ME†John 14:24)
Now back to the prayer in John. Now make note first that He does not ask to take us out of the world,
(“Sanctify them in the TRUTH; YOUR WORD IS TRUTH.†John 17:17)
No need to explain this to you because its obvious but I’m skipping over to the point of this prayer,
(“I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their Word; that THEY MAY ALL BE ONE; EVEN AS YOU, FATHER IN ME AND I IN YOU, THAT THEY ALSO MAY BE IN US, so that the world may believe that You SENT Me.â€Â)
***Now here is the main point of the Resurrection of Yeshua/Jesus The Anointed and WHAT IT HAS TO DO WITH US, as the receivers, and believers of His Word that WE WHOM HAVE THE WORD OF HIS TESTIOMONY IN US WERE RAISED UP WITH HIM, IN HIM! See that if the Fathers Word, His Only Begotten DWELLS IN YOU, and He was raised up and seated at the Right Hand of The Father, SO WERE WE, IN HIM. Remember what Stephen said in Acts?
(“But being full of the Holy Spirit -(or Breath), he gazed intently into heaven and SAW THE GLORY OF GOD, AND JESUS STANDING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD; and he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened up and THE SON OF MAN STANDING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD.†Acts 7:55-56)
Knowing this scripture and what is in the Right Hand of Him who sits on the throne in Revelations 5 is quite awesome. But anyway Jesus says later in the prayer in John,
(“The GLORY WHICH YOU HAVE GIVEN ME I HAVE GIVEN TO THEM, that THEY MAY BE ONE, just as WE ARE ONE;†John17:22)
Now why is it important that we be lifted up IN HIM? Paul says in one of his epistles, which should be read in its full context but for the sake of keeping this short here goes,
(“…when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heaven, FAR ABOVE ALL RULE, AND AUTHORITY, AND POWER, AND DOMINION, AND EVERY NAME THAT IS NAMED, not only in this age but also in the one to come. AND HE PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET, AND GAVE THEM AS THE HEAD OVER ALL THINGS… [Pay attention!!!] …TO THE CHURCH!!!! WHICH IS HIS BODY, THE FULLNESS OF HIM WHO FILLS ALL IN ALL!†Ephesians 1:20-23)
See this is awesome! The Power has been here the whole time! I remember about the Church reformation under Luther, where because of persecution from the Catholic Church many who informed, or preached the Word had to memorize whole Epistles such as the Book of Romans because they could not be caught with the writings, so in sowing the Seed of just the God Breathed Epistles of Paul in there hearts and preaching those Words. The Power of God moved greatly through that time and caused a great move of God. Imagine if you did it, but with what we were instructed to preach, the Gospel of the Living Words of God! Did you know that the name meaning for the name Adam means “red earth†which in the Hebrew every time the word “man†is mentioned properly, the word “Adam†is used [strongs #120]. Jesus said in the parable of the seed and the sower in Luke 8:11 “Now the parable is this, THE SEED IS THE WORD OF GOD.†So! WE MUST SOW THE GOSPLE INTO OUR RED EARTH AND THE RED EARTH OF OTHERS, AND TEND THE GARDEN! Jesus said this,
(“I AM THE WAY, and THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE; NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER BUT TROUGH ME.†John 14:6)
As the Church or Body of The Anointed IN WHOM WE DWELL, if He dwells in us. WE MUST NOW UNITE with One Mind With Jesus AS OUR HEAD in the Gospel of the Anointed. Pay attention to this part of the prayer in the book of John,
(“I IN THEM, and YOU-[The Father] IN ME, THAT THEY MAY BE PERFECTED IN UNITY, so that the world may know that YOU SENT ME, AND LOVED THEM, EVEN AS YOU HAVE LOVED ME.†John 17:23)
We are to unite, and all I have seen is division, or uniting without a same mind, or even uniting compromising Gods Word, which is a false uniting, or a uniting without Christ as the Head of the body. The uniting is in the keeping of the Gospel,
(“…even AS THE TESTIMONY CONCERNING CHRIST was CONFIRMED IN YOU, so that you are not lacking in any gift, awaiting eagerly the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will also confirm you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, through whom you were CALLED INTO FELLOWSHIP WITH HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST our Lord. Now I exhort you, brethren, by the NAME of our Lord Jesus Christ, THAT YOU ALL AGREE AND THAT THERE BE NO DIVISIONS AMONG YOU, but that YOU BE MADE COMPLETE IN THE SAME MIND, AND IN THE SAME JUDGMENT.†1 Corinthians 1:6-10)
Now for the last part of the prayer in the book of John,
(“Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and THESE HAVE KNOWN THAT YOU SENT ME; and I have made YOUR NAME KNOWN TO THEM, AND WILL MAKE IT KNOWN, so that the love with which You loved Me MAY BE IN THEM, AND I IN THEM.†John 17:24-26)
Amen, and Amen Thank Yah with Jesus’ Name,
(“…And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and BECAUSE OF THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY, and they did not love their life even when faced with death†Revelations 12:11)
Oh how are we to honor the Father without honoring the Son? There is a way to honor the Son found in John 14:24, and the Beloved sang praise unto the Father in the books of psalms and yet the Father said “You are My Beloved Son, In You I Am well pleased†O great are the mighty deeds of Yah which are all done in uprightness. “HE HAS MADE HIS MARVOLUS WORKS MEMERABLE! Gracious, and compassionate is Yahweh!â€Â
*Lets immerse are selves in Jesus the Living Word of God and become immersed with the Fathers Down payment, the Holy Spirit-(or Breath)!
(“DO NOT WORK FOR THE FOOD WHICH PERISHES, BUT FOR THE FOOD WHICH ENDURES TO ETERNAL LIFE, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, HAS SET HIS SEAL.†John 6:27)
Paul when writing to the Corinthians, also you as well in God Breathed Words was trying to explain that we are not those who should try to convince men with empty, redundant knowledge of the world that profits little, but we are to preach the Gospel, as His Word works in power, and demonstration of the Holy Spirit,
(“And when I came to you brethren, I DID NOT COME WITH SUPERIORITY OF SPEECH OR OF WISDOM, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. For I DETERMINED TO KNOW NOTHING among you EXCEPT JESUS THE ANOINTED, AND HIM CRUCIFIED. I was with you in weakness and fear and in much trembling, and my message and my preaching WERE NOT IN PERSUASIVE WORDS OF WISDOM, but IN DEMONSTRATION OF THE SPIRIT AND OF POWER, so that YOUR FAITH WOULD NOT REST ON THE WISDOM OF MEN, but ON THE POWER OF GOD.†1Corintians 2:1-5)
Paul plainly explains that he preached nothing except Jesus The Anointed, and also Him crucified. Now I understand how we all want to use convincing words of men witch boast in worldly wisdom, which is a play on their turf, which if it is without God it is pure fooliess.
(“…God was well-pleased through the foolishness of THE MESSAGE PREACHED to save those who believe†1Corinthians 1:21)
(“…Because the foolishness of God IS WISER THAN MEN, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.†1Corinthians 1:25)
So to end this portion I would remind you TO KEEP HIS WORD, AND PUT IT IN YOUR HEART, AND SPEAK THE GOSPEL IN JESUS NAME WITH HIS WORDS, AND IN HIS POWER!
(“My son, DO NOT FORGET MY TEACHING, but LET YOUR HEART KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS†Proverbs 3:1)
 
But they do not understand all of why the death and resurrection was necessary


I think most Christians do know.


To erase our sins, to qualify to take over from Satan (the god of this world), to give us eternal life.
 
A new creation in Christ

Matthew 7:16-20 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

1 Corinthians 15:13-14 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

John 3:3, 5 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

John 3:7-8 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
