Let’s pray

--------------------------

Today we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory, from the 1500’s

 

Today is September 1, 2012

September -- the seventh month (wrong- today it is the 9th)

September had 30 days, until Numa when it had 29 days, until Julius when it became 30 days long.

The word Saturday—Saturn’s day

Saturn is the Roman and Italic God of agriculture. He is believed to have ruled the earth during an age of happiness and virtue. (When was that?)

This day was called dies Saturni, "Saturn's Day", by the ancient Romans in honor of Saturn.

 

I digress…

------------------

Yehovah has His own calendar

 

Today is the 7th day of the week

 

We are now in the 6th month called Elul, 13th day.

 

(Part of August / Sept. 2012)

-------------------------------

No direct scripture for the name of the 6th month. This is how we came to this conclusion:

Neh.6 [15] So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul,ì àÁìåÌì in fifty and two days

When the seventh month came….

Neh.7[73] So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities; and when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.

---------------------

As I stated two weeks ago, I feel it is needed to mention, do you know what your children are learning this new school year?

As the school year starts again, I am minded of the many topics, subjects, and theories that will be presented again to all the young minds.

Some educators have taken the compromised position, harmonizing untruths with truths, in fear of losing their jobs.

What type of school is your child enrolled in? Examine the textbooks your children are learning from. Get to know the teachers, know your children’s curriculum. Be involved!

------------------

In Academia, there is presented a one sided argument for Evolution while Intelligent Design is suppressed.

I am giving you a little information at a time, I feel you need to understand.

-----

Here are a few inaccuracies and lies that are in many of the science books that children at all grade levels are being taught, please check them.

----

The Earth is 4.5 billion years old. There is no factual evidence of this, and a lot against it.

-------------

The Universe began about 16.5 billion years ago - This is not true

 

Here is what scientists have told us through the years:

 

In 1770 George Buffon said the earth was 70,000 years old. (Integrated Principles of Zoology 1996, p. 151).

 

In 1905 the age of the earth was officially 2 billion years old (Newsweek July 20, 1998 p. 50).

 

In 1969, the year we went to the moon, the official age of the earth and moon was 3.5 billion years. (The Minneapolis Tribune Monday, August 25, 1969).

 

Now, students are taught that the earth is 4.6 billion years old.

 

Then they say that the universe is older; about 16 billion years, give or take.

-------------

Life evolved over a long period of time. - This is not true

--------------

Over millions of years, the Colorado River has carved out the Grand Canyon from solid rock. This is not true

The top of the canyon is about 6,900 feet above sea level. The river that supposedly made it over millions of years enters the canyon at 2800 feet. This is 4,000 feet lower than the top of the canyon. So the Colorado River could not possibly have created the Grand Canyon.

---------------

The “geologic column” - This is not true

Dating fossils by rock layers and rock layers by the fossils found in them is circular reasoning, and is not true. They don’t know how old the fossils or the rocks are. They are making up the ages.

There is such a thing as “index fossils”. This is part of the circular reasoning that is used along with the geologic column to date rocks and fossils.

The index fossils date the rocks, and the rocks date the index fossils. Circular reasoning which is false.

Many “index” fossils have been found still alive today, like the Coelacanth (supposedly 325-410 million years old), and Graptolites, which are 410 million years old. Instead of realizing that maybe there is something wrong with index fossils and the geologic column, scientists will instead be amazed that these “index fossils” have survived for 400 million years.

---------------------

Animals and plants are related. There is no proof of this.

-----------------

Plants have souls - This is not true

-------------

Mutations cause Evolution. This is not true - most mutations are harmful

------------

Natural Selection causes Evolution. This is not true, natural selection has a stabilizing affect on a species; it doesn’t create another “kind” of animal.

-------------

Similar bone structures between animals and man prove a common ancestor (comparative anatomy). This is not true. Each bone develops from different genes in different organisms. Evolutionists don’t tell you this, because they cannot explain it. The “similar” bone structures are better proof that there was a common designer, than a common ancestor.

-----------------

“The complex structure of the human eye may be the product of millions of years of evolution.” (Merrill Biology, 1983, p. 202). This is not true

The eye very complex with 6 different structures some of which are in the brain that would have had to “evolve” simultaneously.  This is called “irreducible complexity”, and cannot happen according to the theory of evolution. “The retina of your eye is less than 1 square inch yet contains over 137,000,000 light sensitive cells.” (Photo-Creation Magazine March-May, 1996, p. 39). Science books trying to tell you how the eye “evolved”, tell you to “imagine” how it happened. This is not proof for evolution; it is pure fantasy.

-----------

“Bacteria are simple organisms that we evolved from.” This is simply not true.

Even the “simplest” bacteria are more complex than anything man has ever created. With motors called flagellum so small that 8 million could fit in the cross section of a human hair, they are just as complex and amazing as the cells in the human body

------------------

Be aware of all the false missing links, here are some:

Nebraska man, originally constructed from a tooth, found by Harold Cook in 1922, actually turned out to be from a pig. It was found in Sioux county Nebraska. He built an entire man (and woman) from one tooth.

Piltdown man was a hoax. Found in Piltdown England by a catholic priest (Pierre duchardan) and others. They took a human skull and ape jawbone. They filed them down to make them fit together, treated them with acid to make them look old, buried them in a gravel pit, and then “discovered” them. It was in the textbooks for 40 years, and over 500 masters and doctorate papers were written on it. All that work and expense over a hoax.

Heidelberg Man was built up from a jawbone, a large chin section, and some teeth. Most scientists of the day have rejected it because it’s similar to the jawbone found in modern man. Still, many evolutionists believe he’s 250,000 years old.

All evidence of Peking man has completely disappeared.

New Guinea Man dates back to 1970.

Cro-Magnon Man is described as being “one of the earliest and best established fossils…at least equal in physique and brain capacity to that of modern man”. Which basically makes him the same as modern man.

Neanderthal man, named after the Neander Valley, which was named after Joacchem Neander, who was a Messiahian and wrote the hymn “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of Creation”. In 1856 they found the skeleton of a man. (proven later to be an old man with arthritis). The guy’s back was bent over, but they classified him as human at first, probably drowned in the flood of Noah. After Darwin’s book came out, they reclassified it (because they couldn’t find any evidence for evolution) as a transitional form of human from ape.

It had a thick forehead, which was probably because of extreme age. If he did come from the flood, he could have been several hundred years old. They have found about 300 such humans, but they are not transitions from apes.

Rhodesia man: Dr. Cuozzo said, “You must understand that this skull really cries out disease. The teeth are badly decayed, and the bones of the vault of the skull are extremely thick. There are many features that testify of Acromegaly or excess secretion of growth hormone in adulthood” (Buried Alive, Jack Cuozzo, p. 72). Jack was a dentist from New Jersey, and went to Europe to study the various skeletons that were in the museums. He found that they were assembled very poorly, and even made to look apelike, by leaving the jaw disconnected from the skull (not in the socket).

Lucy: found in 1974 in Ethiopia. There was only 40% of the skeleton. The head was crushed. Was 3 ft tall. Some kind of monkey. Said it was transitional because of the knee joint, and thighbone, which was angled to the side, which resembled a human. But the knee was not even from “Lucy”, it was found a year earlier, 70 meters lower in the rock, and over a mile away.

The knee was actually called the “Hadar” knee. Monkeys that climb trees, have angled femurs, it’s the ones that stay on the ground that have the straight ones. The St. Louis Zoo has Lucy on display with human hands and feet. No feet or hand bones were found. The purpose of the display is not for education, but for indoctrination in evolutionary theory. “The various australopithecines (Lucy) are, indeed, more different from both African Apes and humans in most features than these latter are from each other”.

---------------------------

What about the theory that we are all like fish with gills in our embryonic state?

“The similarity between early stages in the development of many different animals helped convince Darwin that all forms of life shared common ancestors.” (BSCS Biological Science 1978, p. 628).

This is in the comparison of different animal and human embryo’s, which they say are similar. “Darwin considered this ‘by far the strongest single class of facts in favor of’ his theory.” (Icons of Evolution, p. 82). “The baby, growing inside its mother has gills like a fish.” (Merrill Earth Science 1993, p. 451).

The four branchial arches (which is what they are actually called) are not gills. They will actually become the ear bones and glands in the throat. They have nothing at all to do with breathing.

Earnst Haeckell who taught Embryology at the University of Jena in Germany started this idea. He read Darwin’s book, which he said was the “turning point in his thinking” in 1860. After the book was published, nobody had found any evidence for evolution for 9 years. Earnst though he would look for some (especially since he didn’t like the Bible and wanted to get rid of God).

He took pictures of a dog and human embryo; and changed them to look alike. He basically “lied” and manufactured “proof” that Darwin’s theory was correct.

He went on to draw a set if 8 different embryos in 3 stages of development, showing that they were similar.

He published them in Anthropogenie, in Germany in 1874.

It was a fake, a fabrication to provide evidence for evolution.

Haeckel was finally caught and put on trial at his own university, where he was convicted.

He said: “A small percent of my embryonic drawings are forgeries; those mainly, for which the observed material is so incomplete or insufficient as to fill in and reconstruct the missing links by hypothesis and comparative synthesis. I should feel utterly condemned…were it not that hundreds of the best observers, and biologists lie under the same charge.” Haeckel also claimed that spontaneous generation must be true, not because it had been proven in the laboratory, but because otherwise “it would be necessary to believe in a creator.” (Records from the University of Jena trial in 1875). So it appears to be common practice to lie about biological discoveries. “Moreover, the biogenetic law has become so deeply rooted in biological thought that it cannot be weeded out in spite of its having been demonstrated to be wrong by numerous subsequent scholars.”

 (Walter J. Bock, Dept. of Biological Sciences, Columbia Univ. “Evolution by Orderly Lay”, Science, Vol. 164 May 9, 1969, pp. 684-685. Although Haeckel’s drawings were proved to be a fake in 1875, they are still in textbooks today as evidence for evolution. An example is the book Evolutionary Analysis, 1998, p. 28.

Also, Glenco, Holt, Irish, Prentiss Hill and Ken Miller biology textbooks.

Remember:

Please understand which evolution you are discussing before proceeding in a conversation.

Learn these 6 types:

Types of Evolution

 

Cosmic evolution - the origin of time, space and matter - Big Bang

 

Chemical evolution - The origin of higher elements from hydrogen

 

Stellar and planetary evolution - Origin of stars and planets –

 

Organic evolution - Origin of life from inanimate matter

 

Macroevolution evolution - Origin of major kinds -Transmutations (one species grew into another) no evidence!

 

Microevolution evolution - Variations within kinds

 

Only this one has been observed, the first five are fairly tales or religious.

The first five are only believed by faith, even though there is no empirical evidence to prove them in any way.

Basically, it is the evolutionist’s propaganda included in with legitimate science at the taxpayer’s expense.

 

This is sufficient for now

-----------------------------------------------

Let's begin

What is sin?

1 John, chapter 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law : for sin is the transgression of the law.

Going around the commandments:

Romans 7:8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment , wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.

11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

**Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith ; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

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

Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2: God forbid.

How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? "3": Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Messiah were baptized into his death? "4": Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Messiah was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. "5": For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: "6": Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

"15": What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. 16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid . Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

James 4: Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

---------

Where are the ten commandments located in scriptures? Exod. 20 and Deut. 5

--------------

What are the ten commandments?

--------------

Are you keeping them?

Deut.4 [13] And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

Exod.20

Commandment 1 - And God spake all these words, saying, I am Yehovah thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Commandment 2 - Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I Yehovah thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Commandment 3 - Thou shalt not take the name of Yehovah thy God in vain; for Yehovah will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Commandment 4 - Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of Yehovah thy God : in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days Yehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Yehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

The 4th Commandment is a part of the covenant given to us at Mount Sinai in the 3rd month, Sivan

We read from law and the prophets every Sabbath.

60 times in the Gospels and letters it uses the word Sabbath

Ex. 20 [8] Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

æëø

zâkar - zaw-kar' - A primitive root; properly to mark (so as to be recognized), that is, to remember; by implication to mention; make mention of, be mindful, recount, record (-er), remember, make to be remembered, bring (call, come, keep, put) to (in) remembrance, still, think on, well.

-----

Back to Ex. 20

[9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

[10] But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

[11] For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Rev.1 [10] I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day - (The Sabbath)

------------

Lev. 23 [3] Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, an "holy convocation"; ye shall do no work therein: it is the Sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.

The Sabbath is a "holy convocation"

î÷øà miqra: convocation, convoking, reading, a calling together, sacred assembly, something called out, that is, a public meeting (the act, the persons, or the place); also a rehearsal

÷ãùÑ kodesh: a sacred place or thing; consecrated, dedicated, hallowed, holiness, saint, sanctuary, apartness, sacredness, separateness, apartness, sacredness, holiness

---------------------

Commandment 5 - Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which Yehovah thy God giveth thee.

Commandment 6 - Thou shalt not kill.

Commandment 7 - Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Commandment 8 - Thou shalt not steal.

Commandment 9 - Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Commandment 10 - Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

Matt.22 Yeshua - Jesus said:

Commandments 1 to 4

[36] Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

[37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

[38] This is the first and great commandment.

Commandments 6 to 10

[39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

[40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

1John.2[4] He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Rev.21 [8] But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars , shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

John.14: 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments .

John.15 [10 ] If ye keep my commandments , ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

Ecclesiastes (Qoheleth), Chapter 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter : Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14: For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

--------------

Are the commandments applicable for today? ( 20012 and "always")

Deuteronomy, chapter 5:29 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always , that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!

Deuteronomy, chapter 11:1 Therefore thou shalt love Yehovah thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, always .

Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments , that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

--------------

What are ignorant and wilful, presumptuous sin.

Exodus 21:14 But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.

Numbers 15:30 But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously , whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth Yehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

Deuteronomy 1:43 So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of Yehovah, and went presumptuously up into the hill.

Deuteronomy 17:12 And the man that will do presumptuously , and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before Yehovah thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.

Deuteronomy 17:13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously .

Deuteronomy 18:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of Yehovah, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which Yehovah hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously : thou shalt not be afraid of him

Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

-----------

Numbers 15:28 And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly , when he sinneth by ignorance before Yehovah, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.

Deuteronomy 19:4 And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly , whom he hated not in time past;

Leviticus 4:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of Yehovah concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:

Leviticus 4:13 And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance , and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat against any of the commandments of Yehovah concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty;

Leviticus 4:22 When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against any of the commandments of Yehovah his God concerning things which should not be done, and is guilty;

Leviticus 4:27 And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance , while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of Yehovah concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty;

Leviticus 5:15 If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance , in the holy things of Yehovah; then he shall bring for his trespass unto Yehovah a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:

Leviticus 5:18 And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist it not, and it shall be forgiven him.

Numbers 15:24 Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto Yehovah, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.

Numbers 15:25 And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance : and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto Yehovah, and their sin offering before Yehovah, for their ignorance :

Numbers 15:26 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance .

Numbers 15:27 And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.

Numbers 15:28 And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before Yehovah, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.

Numbers 15:29 Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance , both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.

Acts 3:17 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.

Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

Ephesians 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

1Peter 1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance

--------------

What is our righteousness?

Deuteronomy 6:25 And it shall be our righteousness , if we observe to do all these commandments before Yehovah our God, as he hath commanded

--------------

Be perfect ?

The world has implanted in our minds and consciousness through advertisement on television, videos, DVDs, CDs and other media the meaning of the word perfect. We always hear about the perfect weight, shape, smile, image etc. We need to look into the word of God and see through the scriptures the meaning of the word perfect.

A few examples of this would be:

1 - The world says be sexy, God says be holy. ( Leviticus 19:2 ...Ye shall be holy: for I Yehovah your God am holy.)

2 - The world says, no one's perfect. God says be perfect as My Father which is in heaven is perfect. ( Matthew 5:48 )

3 - The world says, everyone sins, Yeshua / Jesus say, "Go and sin no more". (John 8:11: ... go, and sin no more ).

A simple understanding of being perfect is examining yourselves if you are keeping the 10 commandments. You know which ones you are keeping and which ones you are not keeping.

In very simple terms, you are either doing something or you are not, that simple, yes or no, 0 or 1, on or off.

You might need to make a few ajustments in you life. :-)

2 Corinthians, chapter 13:5: Examine yourselves , whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Yeshua the Messiah /Jesus Messiah is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Deuteronomy 8:2 And thou shalt remember all the way which Yehovah thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments , or no.

***Serving the Lord is not a guessing game. We have no excuse not to know. We have God's Word as a study guide. God gave us one life span and one Book, there will be a test!

Deuteronomy 18:13 Thou shalt be perfect with Yehovah thy God.

Heb. 8:8 -12: For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Jer. 31:31-37: Behold, the days come, saith Yehovah, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith Yehovah: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel;

After those days, saith Yehovah, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know Yehovah: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith Yehovah; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Thus saith Yehovah, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; Yehovah of hosts is his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith Yehovah, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. Thus saith Yehovah; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith Yehovah.
