Without faith, God is unable to work with men. The unbeliever has cut himself off from God which is by his own doing. God doesn't cut anybody off. It's the unbeliever that has cut himself off &nbsp;the source of life.<br><br>God gave the sign to the world; The sign of redemption.<br><br>Let's read:<br><br>Isaiah 7:1-2 "And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it. [2] And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind."<br><br>No conversation is hidden from the Lord. Everything said on earth, is heard by the Lord. Even the deeper things in our thoughts, in our hearts, the hidden plans, are all revealed to the Creator.<br>The Lord revealed their counseling to Isaiah, His prophet.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 7:3-4 "Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear–jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field; [4] And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remailer"<br><br>Fear comes from believing the threats of the devil through men and women.<br>The opposite of fear is believing the word of God The opposite of the spirit of fear is the spirit of love, the spirit of power, and the spirit of a sound mind. This is the Holy Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit of God, is in the Word of God.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 7:5-14 "Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying, [6] Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal: [7] Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass. [8] For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people. [9] And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established. [10] Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying, [11] Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. [12] But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD. [13] And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also? [14] Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."<br><br>This is the sign of God. This sign was given about 800 years before the sign became a reality. A virgin conceived and gave birth to Emmanuel, the blood of God becoming the new Adam. The second Adam, taking the place of the first Adam.<br><br>We conclude our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 7:15-25 "Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. [16] For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings. [17] The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria. [18] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria. [19] And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes. [20] In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard. [21] And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep; [22] And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land. [23] And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall even be for briers and thorns. [24] With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns. [25] And on all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle."<br><br>The counsel is revealed unto Isaiah by the Lord, and the solution is provided by the Lord. If an individual will walk with God in unity, in oneness, God will fight every battle, reveal every counsel of the enemy, and that believer will live in constant victory over every power, dominion, or principality.<br><br>Unite with God through the blood of the second Adam, believing and confessing Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. Nothing is hidden from God, in Christ!<br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

The light came from God. God is Light. To have light is to be in the image of God<br><br>When the Lord led the children of Israel as the pillar of fire by night, though it was to give them light for their journey, It was a sign of His presence with them.<br>When the Lord spoke to the children of Israel at Mount Sinai to give the Ten Commandments, He appeared as lightning and thunder.<br>God is the light of David's salvation. He is the light of the salvation of the believer. And God is a fountain of life, and in his light shall the believer see light.<br>God is his Word, and His Word is the Light to the path of the believer. The entrance of the Word of God gives light. It gives understanding to the simple.<br>In the land of Naphtali, in the land of Zebulun, when God appeared as a man, the people that live in darkness saw a great light. This great light lightened up the whole world. He said, "I am the light of the world." He is the image of God. When a man or woman receives Him, the Word of God, by faith and exits the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the second Adam, they are also in the image of God. Until then, the man or woman has a light that is turned off and remains in darkness.<br><br>Let's read:<br><br>Isaiah 8:1-18 "Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning Maher–shalal–hash–baz. [2] And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah. [3] And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Maher–shalal–hash–baz. [4] For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria. [5] The LORD spake also unto me again, saying, [6] Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son; [7] Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks: [8] And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel. [9] Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. [10] Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. [11] For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, [12] Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. [13] Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. [14] And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. [15] And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. [16] Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. [17] And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. [18] Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion."<br><br>Maher–shalal–hash–bad, the son of Isaiah was a sign to Israel. It's a warning of the coming judgment. Before the flood, at the time of Noah, the Lord gave the world a sign in Methuselah whose name means at his death he shall bring it. Bring what? Bring the flood.<br>Before the coming Great Tribulation, &nbsp;is the Lord giving the world a sign of the light of the Gospel. The gospel light is going to all four corners of the earth.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 8:19 "And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?"<br><br>The believer walks not after dead saints and familiar spirits, but after the living God, Who is alive walking on earth today in the person of the Holy Spirit. The same Light that was from the beginning.<br><br>We conclufe our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 8:20-22 "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. [21] And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward. [22] And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness."<br><br>Darkness is simply the absence of light. The absence of the Word of God in the life of a man or a woman. Jesus Christ, the second Adam, the new God's blood covenant is the light. We take our light out of the blood of the first Adam and place it in this blood that is sent, and we become part of the light of the world. We come out of darkness into this great light. We become one with God. One light, one light of the world.<br><br>Turn on your light by faith. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Light of the world, as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. Darkness is simply unbelief, in Christ!<br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

[3] And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory."<br><br>Today, He sits on the Mercy seat. The cross of Christ is the Mercy seat of God. It’s from here that the blood flows. One day, the mercy seat will become the judgment seat. When the mercy of the blood of Jesus Christ. is rejected, the judgment of God is the only thing left.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 6:4-5 "And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. [5] Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts."<br><br>Isaiah realizes he is in the blood of the first Adam. This is the position of every man or woman born of man.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 6:6-7 "Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: [7] And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged."<br><br>God has placed upon him the iniquities of us all, the iniquity we inherited from the broken blood covenant of the first Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 6:8 "Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me."<br><br>The same voice is speaking today, asking, "Whom shall I send?" He saves us by cleansing us, drawing us out of the blood of the first Adam into His blood. We leave all the iniquities in the blood of the first Adam. We now become his messengers on earth. Go into all the world and preach the gospel. This is the duty of the man or woman in the blood of this second Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 6:9-10 "And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

We understand with our heart. This is what draws us out of the blood of the first Adam. This is how we are converted. This is how we are healed.<br>Those who believe are healed from death unto eternal life. Those who believe not are condemned.<br><br>We conclude our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 6:11-13 "Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, [12] And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

Israel was loved by God, a nation He called, the biological seed of Abraham. But Israel could not walk with God because of the blindness of the blood of the first Adam.<br>Any man or woman in the blood of the first Adam is wise in his own eyes and prudent in his own sight. &nbsp;When the Lord's salvation is rejected, judgment ensues.<br><br>Let's read:<br><br>Isaiah 5:1-4 "Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: [2] And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. [3] And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard. [4] What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?"<br><br>The natural man or woman, the one still in the blood of the first Adam, can only bear wild grapes. They have no ability to bear fruit unto God. None.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 5:5-6 "And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down: [6] And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it."<br><br>Israel had the Word of God and the law of God, but that alone could not bring righteousness. Like all men and women, Israel had to be brought out of the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the second Adam. It's the reason the whole world was drowned at the time of Noah, and judgment upon judgment was brought to Israel in the Promised Land.<br>The solution is for Israel to become spiritual seeds of Abraham through the one Seed Who is the second Adam, Jesus Christ.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 5:7-14 "For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry. [8] Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth! [9] In mine ears said the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant. [10] Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah. [11] Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! [12] And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands. [13] Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. [14] Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it."<br><br>The reality of life in the blood of the first Adam. The end is hell. Hell is enlarged today because men and women have not received the word of God to exit the blood of Adam. They remain wise in their own conceit and religion.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 5:15-23 "And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: [16] But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness. [17] Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat. [18] Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope: [19] That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it! [20] Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! [21] Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! [22] Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: [23] Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!"<br><br>Today, it's woe unto them that remain in the blood of the first Adam. God has made a way of escape and that way of escape is simple faith turned on, and the light placed in the blood of the second Adam.<br><br>We conclude our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 5:24-30 "Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. [25] Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. [26] And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly: [27] None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken: [28] Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind: [29] Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it. [30] And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof."<br><br>Darkness and sorrow are a result of rejecting the only way of God. That only way of God is the cross of the second Adam. He is the way, the truth, and the life out of the blood of the first Adam.<br><br>Judgment is set. Everything is pointing to His second coming. BELIEVE and confess Christ the second Adam, as we revealed Him from the first Adam. Today is the day to exit the blood of this first Adam, in Christ!<br><br><br><br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

[21] For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no nor ever shall be.”<br><br>The Gospel is going out before the Great Tribulation. Before God sends judgment, He always sends a warning. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the warning of God. Before He sent judgment to Sodom and Gomorrah, He sent angels to deliver Lot and his family. Jonah was sent to Nineveh before God will destroy the city, and that place was saved because the town believed.<br><br>The light of the Gospel will shine bright right before the Great Tribulation.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Isaiah 4:1 “And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.”<br><br>The desperation will be spiritual and physical. Prior to this, has the Trump of God sounded, the dead in Christ have risen, and the believers who are alive are caught up to be with the Lord. The Angel Gabriel announced His first coming. The archangel will announce His second coming. The believer, who has the same Spirit of Christ, the individual who has faith in the blood of the second Adam, is sheltered in the arms of the Savior. The rest of the world is in turmoil.<br><br>We continue our reading.:<br><br>Isaiah 4:2 "In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel."<br><br>There is only one place of escape, and that is in the blood of the second Adam. Those who will put their trust in the Saviour will be washed, cleansed, and become children of God.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 4:3-5 “And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem: [4] When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. [5] And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defense.”<br><br>The Lord will lead His people again, just like He did in the wilderness: a pillar of fire by night and a cloud by day. Displaying He was the same God then and the same God today. Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever.<br><br>We conclude our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 4:6 "And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain."<br><br>Jesus Christ, the second Adam, the blood of God is our tabernacle today. He is our place of refuge. He is our cover from the rain and storms of life.<br><br>Exit the tabernacle of the First Adam into the Tabernacle of the Second Adam. BELIEVE and confess Christ, the Second Adam, as we've revealed Him from the First Adam. There is only one place of refuge from the coming Great Tribulation, and that’s, in Christ!<br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

Isaiah speaks about a coming great tribulation.<br><br>Let's read:<br><br>Isaiah 3:1-7 “For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water, [2] The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient, [3] The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counselor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator. [4] And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them. [5] And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable. [6] When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand: [7] In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.”<br><br>Those in Christ, Who have exited the blood of the first Adam into the second Adam will not see this Great Tribulation.<br><br>1 Corinthians 15:51-54 "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, [52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. [53] For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. [54] So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory."<br><br>For those in Christ, the corrupt body from the blood of the first Adam will receive the incorrupt body from the blood of the second Adam.<br>If an individual, through unbelief, remains in the blood of the First Adam, there awaits them this great tribulation.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 3:8-10 “For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory. [9] The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul for they have rewarded evil unto themselves. [10] Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.”<br><br>The righteous is a man or woman who has turned on their light of faith and placed it in the blood of the second Adam. They shall escape the coming day of judgment.<br><br>1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: [17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 3:11 "Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him."<br><br>The wicked is the man or woman who remains in the blood of the first Adam, through unbelief. There is a great woe awaiting the unbeliever.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 3:12-13 “As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths. [13] The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.”<br><br>At the time of Noah, He judged the whole world with a flood. The whole world was drowned into hell, except for one family, Noah’s.<br><br>&nbsp;Before there is judgment, the Lord sends a clear warning. Noah warned the people over and over, but they would not listen. The Lord is sending a clear warning to the world today to escape the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the second Adam. Those who listen, like Noah, escaped the judgment, those who remain in unbelief drowned.<br><br>We conclude our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 3:14-26 "The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses. [15] What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? Saith the Lord GOD of hosts. [16] Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: [17] Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts. [18] In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon. [19] The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers. [20] The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings. [21] The rings, and nose jewels. [22] The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins. [23] The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails. [24] And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty. [25] Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war. [26] And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground."<br><br>Escape the coming great judgment. BELIEVE and confess Christ as the second Adam, as we have revealed Him from the first Adam. There is only one way of escape, and that is, in Christ!<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

All nations shall come to worship hHm, the One who shed His blood for every believer, the One who has taken the believer out of death into life, from darkness into light. The Prince of Peace will be on earth in this Kingdom Age.<br><br>Let's read:<br><br>Isaiah 2:1-4 "The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. [2] And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. [3] And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. [4] And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."<br><br>There will be no more nations rising against nations. Many would have found a solution to the problem of the world. By one man's disobedience, sin entered the world, and by the righteousness of another man, peace and reconciliation has come to the world. God in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 2:5 "O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD."<br><br>We walk in His light, when we take our light out of the blood of the first Adam and place it in His blood by out faith or sixth sense.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 2:6-10 "Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers. [7] Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots: [8] Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: [9] And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not. [10] Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty."<br><br>The sinner fears the Lord. The righteous love the Lord. The sinner runs away from the Lord. The righteous runs to the Lord. The glory of the Lord shall take over the land. It will be a beautiful time for the righteous and a terrible time for the sinner; the man or woman who remains in the blood of Fallen Adam.<br><br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 2:11-17 "The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. [12] For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: [13] And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, [14] And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, [15] And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, [16] And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. [17] And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day."<br><br>There shall be only one kingdom and one King, the kingdom of God and Jesus Christ, the King.<br><br>We continue our reading;<br><br>Isaiah 2:18 "And the idols he shall utterly abolish."<br><br>Every religion shall be abolished. Idolatry shall be ceased. The path of righteousness will shine clear.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Isaiah 2:19-22 "And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. [20] In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; [21] To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. [22] Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?"<br><br>The glory of His majesty shall shake the world. The idolater will have nowhere to hide. There is only one hiding place, and that is in His blood.<br>The coming of the Lord is near. The ark is prepared for all those who are looking for safety. The ark, it's a shed blood which is being revealed to the world.<br><br>The Prince of Peace is returning like He promised. BELIEVE and confess Christ, the Prince of Peace, as we have revealed Him from the first Adam. We pray, let Thy kingdom come on earth,as it is in heaven, in Christ!<br><br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

He takes His child up, up, up in the sky, deep into the heavens, that He could allow him to see things that are to come thousands of years later .<br>Isaiah was taken up with God way up in the heavens that he could see the crucifixion of Jesus Christ about 800 years before it happened &nbsp;Isaiah brought the perspective of God to the people.<br><br>Let's read:<br><br>Isaiah 1:1-2 "The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. [2] Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.&nbsp;"<br><br>God made a promise to Abraham in a covenant to &nbsp;bring his seed to the promised land.<br><br>Genesis 15:13,18 "And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; [18] In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:&nbsp;"<br><br><br>This covenant was reinstated when God revealed himself to Moses.<br><br>Exodus 2:24-25 "And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. [25] And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them."<br><br><br>Yet, because they walked in the blood of fallen Adam, they had no means of walking according to the law of God. With the corrupt five physical senses of man inherited through the blood of the first Adam, the natural man walks contrary to the word of God no matter how hard they try.<br><br>Romans 7:17-21 "Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. [18] For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. [19] For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. [20] Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. [21] I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.&nbsp;"<br><br>This problem plagues the natural man and even the believer, unless they understand to live above their five physical senses through their sixth sense of faith in the blood of the second Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading.:<br><br>Isaiah 1:3-4 "The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider. [4] Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward."<br><br>They were in the blood seed of fallen Adam, with their five physical senses corrupted due to the cursed blood of the first Adam. &nbsp;This is the condition of all men and women until they learn how to escape the blood of the first Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 1:5-9 "Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. [6] From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. [7] Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. [8] And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. [9] Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah."<br><br>&nbsp;It was the condition of man in Sodom and Gomorrah. It was a condition of man at the time of Isaiah. It's the condition of man in our world today. Man stuck in the blood seed of fallen Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading.:<br><br>Isaiah 1:10-15 "Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. [11] To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. [12] When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? [13] Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. [14] Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. [15] And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood."<br><br>The animal blood sacrifices were to bring them to the ultimate blood sacrifice of the Lamb of God, the second Adam, on the cross of Calvary. The blood of bulls and goats could not take away sin. It could only cover their sins. The people therefore lived constantly in sin until the true Lamb of God hung on the cross, with His blood shed to take away every sin and to be the escape route for every believer to exit the blood of the first Adam and to live, bearing fruit unto God, through the seed of the word.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 1:16-27 "Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; [17] Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. [18] Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. [19] If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: [20] But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. [21] How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers. [22] Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water: [23] Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them. [24] Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies: [25] And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin: [26] And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city. [27] Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness."<br><br>&nbsp;The true redemption came about 800 years later, when the Redeemer hung on a cross to redeem not just Israel but the whole world back to God. To restore the broken covenant in the Garden of Eden with a new covenant, which began in the Garden of Gethsemane.<br>Today, the believer is heading into a new garden, a new heaven and a new earth, to live permanently with the Father.<br><br>We conclude our reading:<br><br>Isaiah 1:28-31 "And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed. [29] For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen. [30] For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water. [31] And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them."<br><br>&nbsp;The choice is always clear: eternal life with God through faith in the blood of the second Adam, or eternal damnation in hell through unbelief in the blood of the first Adam.<br><br>Make your choice today. BELIEVE and confess Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. The problem is the first blood, and the solution is the second blood in Christ!</div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

It is greater than death. It is greater than the grave. It is the Love that is no respecter of man or woman. It is the Love that brings together all nations, the Jew and the Gentile. It is the Love that was expressed on an old, ragged cross for whosoever will believe.<br><br>Let's read;<br><br>Song of Solomon 8:1-2 "O that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! when I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised. [2] I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother's house, who would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate."<br><br>The Love of God in the second Adam unites the brothers, the Jew and the Gentile. Nothing can unite man outside the love of God expressed in the second Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Song of Solomon 8:3-6 "His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me. [4] I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please. [5] Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth that bare thee. [6] Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame."<br><br>How strong is Love? Love is stronger than the greatest army, than disease. Love is stronger than your sin, for Love is God.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Song of Solomon 8:7 "Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned."<br><br>&nbsp;Nothing can quench the pursuit of God's love after man. The Love of God chases man even to the gates of hell. God does not want any man to perish, but to come to the saving knowledge of Him through the work of the second Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Song of Solomon 8:8-13 "We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for? [9] If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar. [10] I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour. [11] Solomon had a vineyard at Baal–hamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver. [12] My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred. [13] Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear it."<br><br>What God sees is different from what man sees. In the eyes of God, all men are equal. It's difficult for man to see others from that perspective. Jesus Christ, the second Adam, will go to the cross if it was just for you. No matter who you are, you are born with the light of God, and God thought it worthy to redeem you through His sacrificial death. Man, look on the outside. God sees the light inside.<br><br>We conclude our reading:<br><br>Song of Solomon 8:14 "Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices."<br><br>The believer is in love with the lowly shepherd, for they have found life in Him. And nothing can separate the believer from the love which is in Christ Jesus.<br><br>Romans 8:38-39 "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, [39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."<br><br>Accept this unquenchable Love. BELIEVE and confess Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. Nothing can separate the believer from this Love, in Christ!</div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

It pleased God to be connected back to His lost children. This is the love of God.<br><br>The broken covenant was cut in blood. The new covenant must be cut in blood. It has to be blood undefiled. This is the only way for God to have a new bloodline for the whole world. What it must feel like, that everything hinged upon Jesus Christ going to the cross to shed his blood to cut this new covenant . Without that, the whole world is lost. There is no answer to the curse that Adam had bestowed upon creation. This is what makes the Cross of Christ the most important thing in the world. This is why we date everything BC or before Christ and AD or after the death of Christ. It is a pivotal moment in history. Everything revolves around that. Everything: man, God, life, everything revolves around what Jesus Christ did on the cross by shedding his blood.<br><br>The love of God that brought salvation to man.<br><br>Let's read.:<br><br>Song of Solomon 7:1-5 "How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman. [2] Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies. [3] Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins. [4] Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath–rabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus. [5] Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries."<br><br>Through love, God doesn't see man as a servant. He sees you as a son, as a child, as a daughter. God sees man in His image, fallen. If only man would believe he can be restored to his original creation. No matter how far the individual may have fallen, if only they will believe, they will be restored back into the image of God.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Song of Solomon 7:6-10. "How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights! [7] This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes. [8] I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples; [9] And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak. [10] I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me."<br><br>God seeks oneness with his children:<br>- one in love<br>- one in thought.The mind of Christ.<br>- one in light. The light of the world.<br>- one in word<br>- one in spirit<br><br>&nbsp;We continue our reading:<br><br>Song of Solomon 7:11-13 "Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages. [12] Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves. [13] The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved."<br><br>The table is set. The Lamb has been slain. All man has to do is to accept what God has offered: His love on the old rugged cross. For God so loved the world that He gave His blood for anyone who would accept it. They would not perish in the blood of fallen Adam but have everlasting life in the blood of the second Adam.<br><br>Accept God's free love, BELIEVE and confess Christ, the second Adam, as we reveal him from the first Adam. The love of God, which will not stop Its pursuit of man, in Christ!<br><br>&nbsp;<br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

He remains the tree of life. All who believe in Him are kept in this new garden eternally.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Song of Solomon 6:1-2 "Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee. [2] My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies."<br><br>Today, He awaits those who have placed their trust in Him.

[3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."<br>'Any man or woman who has reciprocated the Love of God by their free will be with the lowly shepherd, the second Adam in the second garden, eternally.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Song of Solomon 6:3 "I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies"<br><br>The believer is in Christ, and Christ is in the believer. They have become one:<br>- One in love<br>- One light<br>- One blood<br>- One in word<br>- One in faith<br>- One spirit, the Holy Spirit<br>&nbsp;<br>He became sin Who knew no sin, so that the believer may become the righteousness of God. This is the Love of God.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Song of Solomon 6:4-8 "Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners. [5] Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead. [6] Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one barren among them. [7] As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks. [8] There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number."<br><br>All nations, tongues, and ethnicities will come &nbsp;to worship at the feet of the second Adam, the Lamb that was slain for the redemption of the world.<br><br>Revelation 15:4 "Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest."<br><br>For he has secured for the believer a new garden, the second garden through victory over the enemy, to whom the first Adam fell.<br><br>We conclude our reading:<br><br>Song of Solomon 6:9-13 "My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her. [10] Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners? [11] I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished, and the pomegranates budded. [12] Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib. [13] Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies."<br><br>The lowly Shepherd, the second Adam, is a promise keeper. He promised to return to his bride, those who have placed their faith in His shed blood, those who have exited the blood of the first Adam into His blood. His first coming was promised and fulfilled, and so is His second coming.<br><br><br>Live expecting the lowly shepherd, the second Adam, to come for the believer.

He is altogether faithful. He is the Friend that sticks closer than a brother. John the Revelator described His eyes as flames of fire.<br><br>Revelation 1:13-16 "And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. [14] His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; [15] And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice is as the sound of many waters. [16] And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength."<br><br>He is God in the flesh, the Spirit of God, encapsulated by the blood of God. He is the deliverer of the world. This is the beloved of the believer.<br><br>Let's read:<br><br>Song of Solomon 5:1-2 "I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved. [2] I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night."<br><br>The same voice that spoke to John the Revelator speaks to the heart of every man. He is the answer to the problem of the world, which is the blood of the first Adam. He calls the wolrd to Him.<br><br>Revelation 22:17 "And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely."<br><br>He is the only water of life, the water of eternal life. Any other water is death. This water is His blood that was shed on Calvary's cross for all men and women to exit the blood of the first Adam into this blood of life.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Song of Solomon 5:3-6 "I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them? [4] My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him. [5] I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock. [6] I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spoke: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer."<br><br>We must watch for His coming. There were ten, but five were not prepared for His coming. They were shut outside the door.<br><br>Matthew 25:2-10 "And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. [3] They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: [4] But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. [5] While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. [6] And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. [7] Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. [8] And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. [9] But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. [10] And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut."<br><br>What will bring us to Him is the Oil, the Holy Spirit in us. The same Holy Spirit that descended on them on the day of Pentecost must be received by the believer.<br><br>We continue our reading.<br><br>Song of Solomon 5:7-15 "The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me. [8] I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love. [9] What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us? [10] My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand. [11] His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven. [12] His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set. [13] His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh. [14] His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires. [15] His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars."<br><br>He is the Fairest of Ten Thousand, the Bright and the Morning Star. There are not enough superlatives to describe Jesus Christ, the blood of God, the second Adam, the giver of life eternal. The new God's blood covenant.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Song of Solomon 5:16 "His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem."<br><br>He is altogether lovely. He has the word of life. He is life.<br><br>He is knocking on the heart of all men. BELIEVE and confess Christ, the second Adam, as we revealed Him from the first Adam. He is the beloved of God and man, in Christ!<br><br><br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

He is the gift of God, the love of God, and the giver of living waters.<br><br>John 4:10 "Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water."<br><br>&nbsp;That living water is His blood. We drink this living water by turning on our light of faith and placing that faith in His blood, becoming one with Him, escaping death in the blood of the first Adam for eternal life in the blood of the second Adam.<br><br>This is the Living Water that quenched every thirst from the blood of the first Adam.<br><br>John 7:37-38 “In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. [38] He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”<br><br>He could only provide this living water as the Lamb, the Lamb of God that was slain. This living water is the solution to every problem of man. The problem was the blood of the first Adam, and the solution is the blood of the second Adam. This is the living water that will wipe away every tear and restore man back to God.<br><br>Revelation 7:17 "For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."<br><br>The living fountain of love of God.<br><br>Let's read:<br><br>Song of Solomon 4:1-7 "Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead. [2] Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them. [3] Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks. [4] Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men. [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. "<br><br>&nbsp;The first man was made in the image of God, spotless, with no sin in him but Satan sold him unbelief, and he bought it. Today, God is bringing us back through His living water, the blood of the second Adam. This is the Love of God.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Song of Solomon 4:8-15 "Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards. [9] Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck. [10] How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices! [11] Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon. [12] A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed. [13] Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard, [14] Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices: [15] A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon."<br><br>Streams of blood flowing from Calvary's mountain. The source of redemption for all the fallen sons and daughters of the first Adam. God becoming a man and going on a cross, shedding His blood for the redemption of the world This is Love, the Love of God that cannot be comprehended with the physical senses.<br><br>We conclude our reading:<br><br>Song of Solomon 4:16 "Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits."<br><br>The call remains the same: Come unto Him, all who are weary and heavy laden, and drink from this fountain of love, the fountain of living waters. This is the only place of refuge out of the blood of fallen Adam.<br><br>He knocks on the door of your heart today. BELIEVE and confess Christ, the second Adam, as we revealed Him from the first Adam. The ever-flowing fountain of living water, in Christ!<br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

It's God's covenant to the whole world, to come out of the broken covenant of Adam, the first Adam. God could not cut this covenant without the shedding of blood. In love, God took on the form of a man to go to an old rugged cross to shed his blood. On his road to the cross, he was beaten and mocked by the people he was trying to redeem. His words were: Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do. This is the love of God. Man did not know what they were doing then, and they do not know what they are doing now.<br><br>Today, God is seeking men and women whom he can express his love to. They are blinded by Satan through unbelief.<br><br>Let's read:<br>Song of Solomon 3:1-2 “By night on my bed, I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. [2] I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.”<br><br>God is seeking lost men and women in the blood seat of Adam, but they will not come to him. They do not believe in Him.<br><br>John 5:43-44 “I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. [44] How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?”<br><br>That was the condition of man then and as a condition of man today.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Song of Solomon 3:3 "The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?"<br><br>God has always had a witness to bring his love to the world. He had a witness in Noah. He had a witness in all the major and minor prophets. He ultimately had a witness in Jesus Christ. He had a witness in all the disciples. Today, God has many witnesses around the world bringing the love of God to the world. The love of God expressed in the blood of God shed on a cross for all men to escape the blood of the first Adam into this new God's blood.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Song of Solomon 3:4 "It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me."<br><br>As a loving father, he would not let us go when we reciprocate that love that he first showed. When we accept his love through the shed blood on the cross, we enter into a new relationship, a new covenant, an eternal covenant. He holds on to us no matter what. The only way we come out of that covenant is to refuse to believe him.<br><br>We conclude our reading:<br><br>Song of Solomon 3:5-11 “I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please. [6] Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant? [7] Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel. [8] They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night. [9] King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon. [10] He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem. [11] Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.”<br><br>The measureless love of God, the love that brought salvation to all men, the love that brought healing to all men, the love that brought life to all men, the love of God expressed in one man, Jesus Christ, walking on earth, displaying God to man. It was love that took him to the cross.<br><br>Receive the love of God. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the love of God as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. The embodiment of God's love, in Christ!<br><br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

He expressed that love through the banner of the cross.<br><br>Let's read:<br><br>Song of Solomon 2:1-2 "I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. [2] As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters."<br><br>God has made this love common and accessible to anyone who will believe, for God so loved the world that he gave his Son, the second Adam, on the cross. Whosoever expresses faith can receive this love of God and become one with their Creator, coming back to the original standard of the first Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Song of Solomon 2:3-4 "As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. [4] He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love."<br><br>If anyone will believe by placing their light of faith in the blood of the second Adam, He will mark you, put a banner over you, saying, "Love." You have entered into the love of God, the immeasurable love of God.<br><br>Ephesians 3:17-19 "That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, [18] May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; [19] And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God."<br><br>&nbsp;The Love of God is God. God is love, and when God comes to dwell in the heart of a man or a woman, they have become one with Love. They become the arms, the eyes, and the feet of Love. They become a vessel of Love, extending the Love to the world.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br>Song of Solomon 2:5-10 "Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love. [6] His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me. [7] I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please. [8] The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. [9] My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice. [10] My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away."<br><br>God made the first man in His image. The broken covenant brought a curse to that man and every man and woman that will come out of the blood of the first man, but God did not leave man to himself. He comes back in Love. Even when we were yet sinners, Christ died for the ungodly. This is the Love of God. The Love of God is the blood of God. That blood has become a person. He is called Jesus Christ.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br>Song of Solomon 2:11-13 "For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; [12] The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; [13] The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away."<br><br>"Come unto me" was the call of the Holy Spirit then, and it is the call of the Holy Spirit today<br><br>Matthew 11:28 "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."<br><br>The love of God that no man or woman can escape. We can reject Him, but He will never reject us. He will give us every opportunity even when we remain in unbelief until our last breath when Adam's body gives up the ghost.<br><br>We conclude our reading.<br><br>Song of Solomon 2:14-17 "O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely. [15] Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes. [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 BBetter"<br><br>The believer is the beloved of God, the saint of God. He or she has become one with God in love. The true believer is the expression of God's love on earth.<br><br>Let the love of God reach you and flow through you to others. BELIEVE and confess Christ, the love of God, as we've revealed him from the first Adam. Love is the blood, in Christ!<br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

In that ointment is eternal life.<br><br>&nbsp;The blood of Jesus Christ is an ointment poured forth .<br><br>Let's read:<br><br>Song of Solomon 1:1-3 "The song of songs, which is Solomon's.

[3] Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee."<br><br>Those who thirst and hunger after righteousness shall find this ointment. &nbsp;This ointment is a balm in Gilead. This ointment is the new blood that God has sent. This ointment is Jesus Christ, the second Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Song of Solomon 1:4-15 "Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee. [5] I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. [6] Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept. [7] Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions? [8] If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents. [9] I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots. [10] Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold. [11] We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver. [12] While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof. [13] A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts. [14] My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of En–gedi. [15] Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes."<br><br>It was love that sent him to the cross, the love of God for his children. He said, "If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto myself." He was lifted up, nailed to a cross, because of one thing: the love of God for humanity, to bring men back into His image. What great love the Father has shown us through His Son.<br><br>We conclude our reading:<br><br>Song of Solomon 1:16-17 "Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green. [17] The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir."<br><br>The love of man depends on the subject. When your pet bites one of your children, your love for the pet is not the same. Your pet bites your spouse after biting your child. &nbsp;Your feeling for the pet is no longer love but concern. The love of man and woman depends on the subject. The love of God does not depend on the subject. It depends on the object. Who is God. For God so loved the world that even though we are yet sinners, Christ died for the ungodly.<br>Oh, love of God. How marvelous. Man cannot comprehend it. We can study it. We cannot measure it. We can only believe for it.<br><br>Enter into the love of God. BELIEVE and confess Christ, the blood of God as we reveal Him from the first Adam. He loved us even when we were sinners. In Christ!</div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

If that time elapsed, there is not another opportunity. The physical body goes to dust, and the spiritual light returns either to God or to damnation. That decision is made on this side of earth when man has all his mental faculties intact.<br>Aging simply is the physical body's progression to dust because of the curse blood of the first Adam: the mental faculties are not the same. The physical body begins to break down. Respiration is not the same. The digestive system is not the same. Food doesn't taste the same, sleep is poor, bones weaken. The individual can feel the progression towards physical death.<br>The Creator, through love, had made provision for man to escape this tabernacle of fallen Adam for the new tabernacle of the second Adam.<br><br>Let's read:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 12:1 “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.”<br><br>The longer one waits to make a decision towards eternal life, the more the heart hardens. Pride takes over. The individual becomes far and far distant from God.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 12:2-7 “While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: [3] In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened, [4] And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low; [5] Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets: [6] Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. [7] Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.”<br><br>If the individual remains in unbelief till the end, then the physical body gives up the ghost, returns to dust, the spirit goes to damnation.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 12:8-13 “Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity. [9] And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs. [10] The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth. [11] The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. [12] And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. [13] Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”<br><br>The whole duty of man on Earth is to become one with God through His word, to fix what the first Adam broke. God made man to be His child, and God has provided a way for men to reconnect with Him. God looks to restore man to himself through the second Adam. The duty of man is to enter back into relationship with God through God's provided way of the new blood, the new Adam.<br><br>We conclude our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 12:14 “For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.”<br><br>Judgment is not to determine where the physical body goes, but where the spiritual light goes. The physical body returns to dust, but the spiritual light returns either to damnation or back to the Creator in eternal life.<br><br>Choose wisely in your youth where you will spend eternity. Believe and confess Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed him, from the first Adam. It’s not where the body ends but where their spirit goes, in Christ!</div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

The scientists explained that spiritual things are not real because he could not see them. He could not test them.<br>The friend asked the scientist if he was married, and the scientist answered yes. The friend asked the scientist if he did love his wife, and the scientist responded, "Yes, I love my wife. I love her very much." The friend asked the scientist if he could prove to him scientifically his love for his wife. The scientists thought about it and said, "Well, I cannot prove to you scientifically my love for my wife, but I know I love" The friend asks the scientist if his love for his wife is real. The scientist has answered yes, it's real. My love &nbsp;for my wife is real. The friend told him, "This is what I've been trying to explain to you: things that are real cannot be proven scientifically. It's things that are not real that we can prove scientifically." The friend continued that love, joy, peace, spirits, and faith cannot be proven scientifically, but they are real."<br><br>The writer of Ecclesiastes says, "We know not the way of the Spirit, or how the bones grow in the womb, so are the ways of God."<br><br>Let's read:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 "Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. [2] Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth."<br><br>We know not what tomorrow brings, but we know tomorrow is real. How do we know? Because today was yesterday's tomorrow. Today could be my last day on earth or your last day on earth. Do you know? Cast that bread of life to the people around you. Jesus Christ is the bread of life, the bread that was served on the cross of Calvary for the whole human race. Many are not aware of this bread, and are eating the wrong things spiritually. They are dying left and right because they do not know the bread of life.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 11:3-5 "If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. [4] He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. [5] As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all."<br><br>A man or woman is a spiritual light that grows in the seed of blood. That spiritual light cannot be seen with the naked eye, but we can see the growth of that child from conception, which simply means blood in the womb. How the bones grow and how the various tissues, organs, and organ systems come together is spiritual. That’s Who God is: the intelligence that makes all living things come together.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 11:6 "In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good."<br><br>Do you know if the sun will rise tomorrow? There is one who knows, and that's who God is. He's all-knowing. He knew you before you were formed in your mother's womb. He knows your end from your beginning. He is real.<br><br>Where does the sun get its light from? The sunlight can be perceived physically , but where does the sun get its light from? That's Who God is. God is light, and he manifests His light through the sunlight just as He manifested His Word through a physical blood body called Jesus Christ.<br><br>We conclude our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 11:7-10 “Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun: [8] But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity. [9] Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. [10] Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.”<br><br>The justice of God requires judgment. Adam was judged in the Garden of Eden after he broke his covenant with God, God wants to be believed. Faith is the judgment. He that believes not is already judged, is already condemned. The moment Adam failed to believe, he was already condemned to death. But he that believes has everlasting life and shall never die. He that believes God’s blood and His word has passed from death unto life, because they have escaped the curse of the blood of the first Adam.<br><br>Cast the Bread of life, Jesus Christ, the blood of God, the first Adam, onto the world. BELIEVE and confess Christ the bloody Lamb as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. Real things cannot be known physically, in Christ.<br><br><br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

He or she is full of words, blinded by the things of the world. Full of the wisdom of the world. Has no room for the wisdom of God<br><br>Let's read:<br>Ecclesiastes 10:1-3 "Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour. [2] A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left. [3] Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool."<br><br>&nbsp;The fool is the individual who remains in the blood of fallen Adam through unbelief. He may even call himself an atheist or an agnostic. The word of God calls him a fool. He is cunning and full of arguments.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 10:4-10 "If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences. [5] There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler: [6] Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place. [7] I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth. [8] He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. [9] Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby. [10] If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct."<br><br>The fool lacks the oil of the Holy Spirit, which is the wisdom of God. The Holy Spirit, the wisdom of God, sharpens a man or a woman. The fool is left to their own abilities, which is vanity at best.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 10:11-14 "Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better. [12] The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. [13] The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness. [14] A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?"<br><br>The words of the wise is encouraging and uplifting. The words of the fool is hurtful and short-sighted.<br><br>We conclude our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 10:15-20 "The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city. [16] Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning! [17] Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness! [18] By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through. [19] A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things. [20] Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter."<br><br>&nbsp;The tongue of the wise is controlled by the Holy Spirit. The tongue of the fool has no restraints.<br><br>Be full of the Word of God. BELIEVE and confess Christ, the second Adam, as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. Wisdom is the Word of God, in Christ!</div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

Unbelief is the curse"<br><br>Reference: Ecclesiastes Chapter 9<br><br>An evil heart is the Adamic Nature. This is the nature that everyone born of man inherited from the first man, Adam. This is the nature which is enmity against God. This Adamic nature cannot follow the law of God and cannot please God. This nature is led by the five corruptive senses. God can only be pleased through faith in the blood of the second Adam. Faith, which is the sixth sense, is how God leads his children. Faith is living beyond the realm of the five senses. This is what turns on our spiritual light. This is how a man, a woman, walks after the Spirit of God.<br><br>Let's read:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 9:1-3 "For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them. [2] All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath. [3] This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead."<br><br>Walking after our five physical senses is death, is the mind of the carnal man or woman butvwalking after our sixth sense, which is faith, is life and life eternal. This is faith placed in the shed blood of the second Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 9:4-6 "For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. [5] For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. [6] Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun."<br><br>We now know there is an afterlife because Jesus Christ has come to show us there is a resurrection.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 9:7-10 "Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. [8] Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment. [9] Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun. [10] Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest."<br><br>To live is to be in Christ, by faith placed in his finished work of the cross. That is a joyful life. Any life outside of Christ is vanity.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 9:11 "I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all."<br><br>The unbeliever, the man or woman who remains in the blood of Adam, is living according to time and chance. The believer, the man or woman who has exited the blood of Adam into the blood of Christ, has their steps ordered by the Lord. They don't walk according to time and chance. They walk according to faith In the Son of God, who loved them and gave his life for them. if God has his eyes on a sparrow, how much more His child who is indwelled by the Spirit of God?<br><br>&nbsp;We conckude our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 9:12-18 "For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them. [13] This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me: [14] There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it: [15] Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man. [16] Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard. [17] The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools. [18] Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good."<br><br>&nbsp;Where are the greatest men and women that ever lived? Where are all the war heroes? Where is IAdolf Hitler, Alexander the Great, and all the people who sought to conquer nations and even the world? There is only one thing that will ever remain, and that is the word of God. All wisdom comes out of the word of God. The wise is a man or woman who has placed their faith in the Word of God. They walk contrary to the first Adam, who took his faith out of the Word of God. This word of God directs all the children of the first Adam to believe in the shed blood of the second Adam, to exit the blood of the first Adam. This is the wisdom of God.<br><br><br>God can only help man according to their faith. Mary believed the word of God, and it was a blessing to her. Eve rejected the word of God, and it was a curse to her. Faith is the blessing. Unbelief is the curse.<br><br>&nbsp;Walk after the wisdom of God. BELIEVE and confess Christ, the last Adam, as we've revealed him from the first Adam. His eyes are on the believer, in Christ!</div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

The sons of men are all the children born through the bloodline of Adam.<br>This is because the sons of man have taken on the nature of the first Adam. This is the Adamic nature or the sin nature.<br><br>Because the sentence of death from Adam’s sin is not executed speedily, the sons of man do not see the need for repentance. Adam was judged with a sentence of death in the Garden of Eden, but it took about 930 years for that judgment to be executed in Adam. That means Adam had about 930 years to repent.<br><br>Genesis 5:5 "And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died."<br><br>That is the love of God. God doesn't want anyone to perish, not even the first Adam.<br>The sentence of God is carried out slowly, giving man the time to make it right, to turn it around, to repent.<br><br>Let's read:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 8:1-2 "Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed. [2] I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God."<br><br>To keep the oath of God is to obey the word of God. Love is the fulfillment of the law of God. This love comes when an individual becomes one with Love, who is Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, the Blood of God. An individual is one with Christ when they are removed from the blood of Adam into the Blood of Christ through death, burial, resurrection, and reception of the indwelling Holy Spirit. This is done when our light of faith is turned on and placed in the blood of the second Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 8:3-11 "Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. [4] Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou? [5] Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment. [6] Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him. [7] For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be? [8] There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it. [9] All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt. [10] And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity. [11] Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil."<br><br>God has set up a sentence against evil work. It is a work of unbelief: the individual who refuses to place their faith in the shed blood of the Son of God. It's a gradual sentence of resurrection into damnation.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 8:12-13 "Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him: [13] But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God."<br><br><br>The unbeliever may live just as long as the believer and sometimes even longer. The unbeliever is a man or woman who remains in the blood of the first Adam. It is the love and patience of God, giving the unbeliever every opportunity to believe in Him and His blood sacrifice in the second Adam.<br><br>We conclude our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 8:14-17 "There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity. [15] Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. [16] When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth: (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes:) [17] Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it."<br><br>The work of God is not revealed in the wisdom of man. The work of God is revealed in the wisdom of God, which is through the finished work of the Cross of &nbsp;the second Adam.<br><br>1 Corinthians 1:23-24 "But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; [24] But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God."<br><br>The wisdom of God is the crucifixion of the second Adam, His shed blood for the redemption of the whole world.<br>Receive the wisdom of God. BELIEVE and confess Christ, the second Adam, as we revealed him in the first Adam. Escape an evil work from an evil heart, only in Christ!</div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

He found himself inbetween living on Earth and moving on to glory, which is far better.<br><br>Philippians 1:21,23 "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. [23] For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:"<br><br>Physical death for the believer in Christ, who has taken their life out of the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the second Adam, is a great gain. But death, for the unbeliever, the person that remains in the blood of Adam through unbelief is a loss, and a great loss at that.<br><br>Let's read:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 7:1 "A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth."<br><br>A good name is a name that has entered into the blood of the second Adam, the Lamb of God. A good name is written in the blood of God into the Lamb's book of life.<br><br>Revelation 21:22-23,25,27 "And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. [23] And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. [25] And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. [27] And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life."<br><br>The names written in the red blood of God, in the Lamb's book of life, will never be forgotten. For the blood of God, the shed blood of the second Adam, will forever be remembered.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 7:2-8 "It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. [3] Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better. [4] The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth. [5] It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools. [6] For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity. [7] Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart. [8] Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit."<br><br>A better end is in Christ, the blood of God. It's not how we begin. It's how we finish. It's not when you began in Christ. It's finishing in Christ.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 7:9-10 "Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. [10] Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this."<br><br>A wise inquiry is to know that we cannot get warm from a painted fire. He is God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He is also God of the life after death. But none of that will benefit us unless He is our God of today, right now, right here. He is God of the present. He is God the Holy Spirit in &nbsp;and with the believer who has become one with God, by taken their light out of the blood of the fallen Adam into the blood of the last Adam.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 7:11-14 "Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. [12] For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it. [13] Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked? [14] In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him."<br><br>There is nothing else to look for outside of God. We find Him when we escape the blood of Adam into His new blood. God has set the course of the world so that nothing will satisfy me outside oneness with God.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 7:15-19 "All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness. [16] Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself? [17] Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time? [18] It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all. [19] Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city."<br><br>The Holy Spirit, who is wisdom in a man or woman, makes them mightier than thousands.<br><br>We conclude our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 7:20-29 "For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. [21] Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee: [22] For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others. [23] All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me. [24] That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out? [25] I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness: [26] And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her. [27] Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account: [28] Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found. [29] Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions."<br><br>The upright man or woman is the one that lives by their sixth sense, their sense of faith, with their light turned on. But many want to live by their five physical senses. They are led by reasoning, logic, and many inventions, which doesn't bring us to God but actually keeps us away from God.<br><br>Let your name be written in blood in the Lamb's Book of Life. BELIEVE and confess Christ, the blood of God, as we revealed Him from the first Adam. A great name is only in Christ!</div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

The corn was not enough, so they will mix their own homegrown corn with the imported corn to feed the country. The homegrown corn and the artificially made corn looked alike. You couldn't tell any difference. They even tasted alike. &nbsp;One day, a man asked one of the engineers : How do you tell which corn is artificially made and which corn is homegrown, since they both look alike, taste alike, and have a similar smell? The engineer answered, "There is no way to tell unless you plant or bury them in the ground." The engineer continue that the artificial ones will not grow. Only the homegrown, organic ones will grow. That's how you tell the difference<br>If God, who made corn, provided after life for corn, how much more for man, who He made in His image?<br>Two people may come out of the same womb.

The resurrection of the Lamb of God, the blood of God, Jesus Christ confirms an afterlife.<br><br>In the book of Matthew of the New Testament , chapter 27, verses 51 and 52, the veil of the temple rent from top to bottom after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The graves were opened and many bodies of the saints arose and came out of the graves after his resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared unto many. This confirms an afterlife. TheJewish Tanakh, In the book of Deuteronomy, Moses died and was buried in the land of Moab in Beth-Peor before the children of Israel could enter into the promised land. About 800 years later, in Matthew chapter 17, we see Moses standing on the mount of transfiguration with Jesus Christ, speaking with Jesus Christ. This confirms life after death of the physical body. After we are freed from the blood and the body provided by the First Adam.<br><br>Let's read:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 6:1-3 "There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men: [2] A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease. [3] If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he."<br><br>&nbsp;The only burial worthy is to be buried in Christ, to be buried in the blood of the second Adam. If a man or woman is buried in the blood of the first Adam, then an untimely birth is even better. They would be better if they were not born at all.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 6:4-6 "For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness. [5] Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other. [6] Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?"<br><br>All men and women go to one of two places:<br>1. An afterlife of eternal life with the Creator<br>2. An afterlife of separation from the Creator into damnation<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 6:7-8 "All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled. [8] For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?"<br><br>&nbsp;The wise is the individual who lives with afterlife in view. They have removed their life out of the blood of the first Adam and placed it in the blood of the second Adam by faith. The fool is the individual who remains in the blood of Adam through unbelief in the blood of the second Adam.<br><br>We conclude our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 6:9-12 "Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit. [10] That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he. [11] Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better? [12] For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?"<br><br>David said, "When I walked through the valley of the shadow of death. Death is only a shadow. It's not permanent. There is life after we are freed of this body through physical death.<br><br>Live with afterlife in view. BELIEVE and confess Christ, the blood of God as we revealed Him from the first Adam. After life of eternity with the Creator, is in Christ!</div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

Naked Shall We Return To Dust”<br><br>Reference: Ecclesiastes Chapter 5<br><br>This is a sobering thought. We started in the womb as a speck of blood, came out of the womb naked, and this speck of blood is destined to return to dust, naked.<br><br>But there is another speck of blood that God sent. Through the Holy Spirit moving on Virgin Mary, this speck of blood became a man, and this blood was shed on a cross for the whole world to be clothed by this blood. To be clothed in his righteousness, to be clothed in his white robe. This is the answer to life's biggest question: is there an afterlife?<br><br>We know there is an afterlife because Jesus Christ, the blood of God, the second Adam, rose from the dead to show the whole world there is an afterlife.<br><br>Labor not into the wind, but labor to be clothed in the blood of the second Adam.<br><br>Let's read:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 5:1-15 "Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil. [2] Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. [3] For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words. [4] When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. [5] Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. [6] Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands? [7] For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God. [8] If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they. [9] Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field. [10] He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. [11] When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes? [12] The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. [13] There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt. [14] But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand. [15] As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand."<br><br>None of our labor will come with us into the grave. The body goes to dust. The only thing we bring with us is our faith. If our light of faith is turned off, it is total darkness. If our light of faith is turned on and placed in the blood of the second Adam, then it's a labor of endurance , a labor into eternal life.<br><br>Labour not for the things of this world.<br><br>John 6:27 "Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed."<br><br>We labor for his blood and his meat that was served on the cross of Calvary by placing our light of faith exclusively in it. In death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and now in us, in the person of the Holy Spirit. In oneness: oneness in blood, in spirit, in light, oneness in word.<br><br>The call is to come unto Him, and be one with Him.<br><br>Matthew 11:28 "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."<br><br>Any other laboring is simply laboring into &nbsp;the wind.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 5:16 "And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?"<br><br>&nbsp;Laboring for the wind is life in the blood of the first Adam. It's a labor in vain.<br><br>We conclude our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 5:17-20 "All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness. [18] Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion. [19] Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God. [20] For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart."<br><br>&nbsp;The gift of God is not in meat, riches, and accomplishments. The gift of God is the blood of God shed for the whole world to escape the blood of the first Adam. To be clothed in the righteousness of the second Adam.<br><br>Labor to enter into the blood of the second Adam. BELIEVE and confess Christ, the second Adam as we revealed him from the first Adam. There is only one labor worthy: it's to labor to enter in Christ!<br><br><br><br><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>

The policeman has power or authority to stop the vehicles on the road.<br><br>In physics, power is the product of force and velocity.. Work is force used over distance, and power is the rate at which work is done.<br><br>There is manpower, which is the work output of a man or woman. There is also horsepower, which is the work output of a horse. The horse was the means of travel in the early days of creation, &nbsp;and then when civilization came, they went from horse to steam engine. Today we have automobiles, cruise ships, airplanes, and even rockets. Those are all physical powers, but we also have spiritual powers.<br><br>There are three main spiritual powers:<br>1. The power of Satan<br>2. The power of faith in the blood of the second Adam<br>3. The power of God<br><br>&nbsp;The power of Satan is through unbelief. Before Satan came into the garden of Eden, there was perfection. There was God and his children. The moment Satan came in, he sowed Eve with unbelief, and that unbelief affected Adam. They lost their faith in the word of God, and that unbelief led to sin. Sin led to disease, and disease led to death. It was through unbelief that Satan was able to get the first Adam to break his covenant with God. This is the cause of all death in man and woman. This is the power of Satan. No matter what a man or woman does, their physical body going to die. That's how powerful Satan is. At the time of Noah, the whole world drowned in a flood because of unbelief. It was only Noah and his family that escaped the flood. Everybody in the world at that time drowned and went to hell. This is the power of Satan, because he blinded them with unbelief.<br>The only thing more powerful than Satan is the opposite of unbelief, which is faith. In the word of God, faith in the blood of the second Adam. Just as unbelief leads to sin, and sin leads to disease, and disease leads to death, faith in the blood of the second Adam brings resurrection. That means:<br>- faith in the blood of the second Adam is more powerful than unbelief.<br>- faith in the blood of the second Adam is more powerful than sin.<br>- faith in the blood of a second Adam is more powerful than disease<br>- faith in the blood of the second Adam is more powerful than death<br>- faith in the blood of a second Adam is more powerful than Satan<br>&nbsp;<br>Then there is the power of God. God is all-power, almighty. He is the one that tells the sun to rise and to go to bed at night. He is the one that spoke the universe into being. He is the one that tells the ocean you can only come this far onto the land and cannot come any further. The power of God is in His Word, and when a man or woman places their faith in the Word of God, they become one with the power of God.<br><br>The writer of Ecclesiastes talks about power.<br><br>Let's read.<br><br>Ecclesiastes 4:1 "So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter."<br><br>Satan is the main oppressor of man. He has power, but he is not all power. Man's power over Satan is through faith in the blood of the second Adam. This is how the sick get well, and the hopeless receive hope. The oppressed is oppressed no more because he or she has received the answer to Satan the oppressor.<br><br>We continue our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 4:2-12 "Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive. [3] Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun. [4] Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit. [5] The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh. [6] Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit. [7] Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun. [8] There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail. [9] Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. [10] For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. [11] Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? [12] And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken."<br><br>A man or woman is powerful when they yoke themselves to God through His Word. God is His Word. When we believe the Word of God, we become one with God, one in Word. This is the source of all Spiritual. power. The Word of God is what created the whole universe. When we are one with God, His Word will create for us things that we cannot even imagine.<br><br>We conclude our reading:<br><br>Ecclesiastes 4:13-16 "Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished. [14] For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor. [15] I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead. [16] There is no end of all the people, even of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit."<br><br>Unbeliefs make an individual powerless. They remain in the blood of the fallen Adam all their life. In the end, it is resurrection into damnation.<br><br>Faith in the blood of the second Adam makes the individual powerful. They become one with God through the blood of the second Adam. They have power even over death. That's why the second Adam said, "I am their resurrection and their life. He that believes in me shall never die." A man or woman who has placed their faith in the blood of the second Adam has passed from death unto eternal life. They have received power over all things, including the ultimate curse, which is death.<br><br>Receive the power of God. Believe and confess Christ, the second Adam, as we revealed Him from the first Adam. God is all power, in Christ!</div></div></div></div></div></section>]]></content:encoded>
