Shabbat Shalom
We are now in the 12th month - Adar, 13th day.
Esth.3 [ 7] In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.
Adar
I see by this word Adar, when broken down, can convey a
message that the invisible God wants to dwell among us and in us.
In the
Book of Esther, the
Hebrew the word
"esther"
means
"star"
but the root
of the word
"esther"
is
"satar"
and means "hidden"
.
"The words,
God and Lord
do not appear in this book, they are hidden"
Adar can convey the meaning of glorious, fire which is
light
I see joy, gladness and a good day!!
Esth.8[
16] The
Jews had light, and gladness, and
joy,
and honour.
And many of the
people of the land "became Jews"; for
the fear of the Jews fell upon them.
----------------------------------------
Let's review the events in
the Book of Esther
with the events in the
Book of Leviticus (chapter 23 )
In the first month, Nisan /Aviv:
14th day
of Nisan /Aviv at evening is the Passover
= Yeshua is our Passover
1Cor.5[
7] Purge out therefore the old
leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even
Messiah /Christ our passover is sacrificed
for us:[8]
Therefore let us keep the feast
, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness;
but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
15th day of
Nisan /Aviv
is the Feast of Unleavened Bread
17th day
of Nisan /Aviv is the Feast of first-fruits
symbolizing the Resurrection, Deliverance
and Salvation
Now in the
Book of Esther
:
Book of Esther, a hidden message,
shadows of the Messiah?
Esth.3:[12] Then were the king's
scribes called on the
thirteenth day of the first month ( Aviv /
Nisan ), and there was written according to all that
Haman had commanded unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that
were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province
according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language;
in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring.
Esth.4:[16] Go, gather together
all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and
neither eat nor drink three days , night or
day:
This should be the 16th of Aviv / Nisan
below:
Esth.5:[1
] Now it came to pass
on the third day
, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner
court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat
upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.
[4] And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.
This should be the 17th of Aviv / Nisan,
read below:
Esth.5:[8
] If I have found favour in the sight of the king,
and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request,
let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and
I will do tomorrow
as the king hath said.
Esth.7:[1
] So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther
the queen.
[2] And the
king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What
is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy
request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.
[ 3] Then Esther
the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and
if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people
at my request:[
4] For we are
sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if
we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although
the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.
[5] Then the
king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where
is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
[6 ] And Esther
said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before
the king and the queen.
[7] And the
king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden:
and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he
saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
[8 ] Then the
king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine;
and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will
he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the
king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
[ 9] And Harbonah,
one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty
cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the
king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.
[ 10] So they
hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared
for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
The people of God were delivered.
We read in the Book of Exodus
amother event ( deliverance, shadows of the Messiah ) on the 17th of Aviv /
Nisan:
Exod.14[
24] And it came to pass, that
in the morning
watch the LORD looked unto
the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and
troubled the host of the Egyptians,
[25] And took
off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians
said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against
the Egyptians.
[26] And the
LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the
sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians,
upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
[27] And Moses
stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength
when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD
overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
[28] And the
waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host
of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as
one of them.
[29] But the
children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters
were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
[30] Thus
the LORD saved Israel that day out
of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians
dead upon the sea shore.
[31] And Israel
saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared
the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.
Yeshua / Jesus rose on the
third day, in the morning - the 17th of Aviv / Nisan and delivered us!
Mark.16 [
2] And very
early in the morning
the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre
at the rising of the sun.
[9] Now when
Yeshua / Jesus was risen
early the first
day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene,
out of whom he had cast seven devils.

Now Judaism's tales without Messiah Yeshua
- From jewfaq.org/toc.htm and other sites
What do you think of this below?
We are also commanded to eat, drink and be merry
.
According to the Talmud, a person is required
to drink until he cannot tell the difference between "cursed be Haman"
and "blessed be Mordecai," though opinions
differ as to exactly how drunk that is. A person certainly should not become
so drunk that he might violate other commandments or get seriously ill. In
addition, recovering alcoholics or others who might suffer serious harm from
alcohol are exempt
from this obligation
.
In addition, we are commanded to send out gifts of food
or drink, and to make gifts to charity. The sending of gifts of food and drink
is referred to as shalach manos (lit. sending out portions). Among Ashkenazic
Jews, a common treat at this time of year is hamentaschen (lit. Haman's pockets).
These triangular fruit-filled cookies are supposed to represent Haman's three-cornered
hat.
It is customary to hold carnival-like celebrations on Purim,
to perform plays and parodies, and to
hold beauty contests.
I have heard that the usual prohibitions
against cross-dressing are lifted during this holiday, but I am not certain
about that. Americans sometimes refer to Purim as the Jewish Mardi Gras.
Purim is not subject to the sabbath-like restrictions on
word that some other holidays are; however, some sources indicate that we should
not go about our ordinary business on Purim out of respect for the holiday.
Talmud
- Megiilah 7b
Raba said: It is the duty of a man to
mellow himself [with wine] on Purim until he cannot tell the difference between
cursed be Haman? and blessed be Mordecai?
----------
There are fancy dress parties (
including a tradition of cross-dressing ) and mockery
of those who at other times are much respected
Deut.22
[5] The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto
a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are
abomination unto the LORD thy God.
Shalom, be safe
Some News
New 'Bible' says Christ born of gorilla, not
virgin
A new, lavishly illustrated book described by its marketer
as a "postmodern" edition of the Bible takes Darwin's theory of
evolution as gospel and presents Jesus as being born, "not to a virgin,
but to a gorilla."
According to Ruth Rimm, Bronx school teacher and book artist,
her version of the Scriptures titled "Lost Spiritual World"
"explores the emergence of a new global spirituality that mixes the best
of each wisdom tradition with the latest findings in psychology, quantum physics,
neuroscience, and linguistics."
It is a "Bible for skeptics, seekers, and people of different
faiths."
The first volume in the series which will eventually present
the Torah, Bhagavad Gita, Buddhist sutras, and Sufi mysticism covers the
Gospel of Mark.
Rimm, however, includes parables not found in Mark, such as
the Parable of the Dolphin, the Parable of the Snow Leopard and the Parable
of the Gorilla, which are illustrated in a series of irreverent videos to be
made available on YouTube as part of the book's marketing campaign.
The 3.3.07 begins with
a Renaissance painting of Mary and baby Jesus. The voice over by a standup
comedian begins:
He was born in a manger a long time ago not to a virgin
but to a gorilla. What's so funny? Who did you expect his ancestors to look
like, Tom Cruise?
But wait. I'm not making fun of Jesus. I'm not mocking religion.
In fact, from the deepest wellspring of my heart, I'm despairing something
we've lost in our scientific culture.
Yes, if Jesus was alive today, he would understand that his
ancestors, just like ours, were beasts.
No, he wouldn't run around claiming he was born of a virgin.
And, brilliant rabbi that he was, he would likely ask us to
understand the miracle stories metaphorically as morality tales but certainly
not as literal truth.
"There may be a profound message behind the miracle stories,
but the big bang and evolution implore us not to read things literally,"
Rimm said. "Most Americans would rather discover the spiritual truths
behind the religious metaphors, especially given how fundamentalism is impacting
public life with a narrow view of religion."
Despite it's focus on Mark's gospel, "Lost Spiritual World"
includes quotes from the Dalai Lamai, Rabbi Michael Lerner and self-help gurus
Wayne Dyer and Tony Robbins.
"We all want to be a part of a spiritual community and
to do good works," said Rimm. "And science, for all its accomplishments,
has yet to find a replacement [for religion]."

These are the people that will
build the Temple
Feb.28, 2007 -
Sanhedrin Rabbis - (IsraelNN.com) Their most recent
meeting was this week, in which they discussed technical and procedural issues,
topics for their agenda, and the Halakhic [Jewish legal] and other ramifications
of renewing the Passover sacrifice.
"Not only are we commanded to establish
the Sanhedrin," Rabbi Richman told Arutz-7's Yosef Meiri, "but this
seems to be the perfect time to do so - a time of Divine will. On the one hand,
there is a spiritual void in the 'establishment,' and on the other hand, there
is a real thirst among the public for spirituality and guidance."
Rabbis attempt to resume animal sacrifices on the Temple Mount

Don't follow these people,
pray they repent
Yeshua the Messiah said to
the Pharisees,
"
ye are not of God
"
anti-missionaries
are not of God, thet deny that Yeshua
is the Messiah and that He came in the flesh
1John. 2
[22
] Who is a
liar
but he that
"denieth that Jesus is the Messiah / Christ"?
"He is antiMessiah / antichrist",
that denieth
the Father and "the
Son".
***[23]
Whosoever
"denieth the Son", the same hath
not the Father: !!!!!!
Yeshua the Messiah said to the Pharisees:
John. 8
[47] He that is of God heareth God's words:
ye therefore hear them not, because
"ye are not of God"
.
1John. 4
[3
] And every spirit that
confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh
is "not of
God": and this
is that spirit of antichrist
, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now
already is it in the world.]
[6] We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us;
he that is not of God heareth not us
. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit
of error.
John.3
[18
] He that believeth on him ( Yeshua
) is not condemned:
but he that believeth
not is condemned already, because
he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
[36
] He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and
"he that believeth not the Son
shall not see life"; but the
wrath of God abideth on him.
*** John 5 [23] That
all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father.
He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him
.
1John.5
[1] Whosoever believeth that Yeshua / Jesus is the Messiah / Christ is
born of God:
If you don't believe that Yeshua / Jesus is
the Messiah / Christ you are not born of God
2John.1
[7
] For many "deceivers"
are entered into the world, who
confess not that Yeshua is the Messiah / Jesus Christ
is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver
and an antichrist.
[9] Whosoever
transgresseth, and abideth not in
the doctrine of Messiah
/ Christ,
"hath not God".
He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both
the Father and the Son.
[10] If there come
any unto you, and
bring not this doctrine, receive
him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:[11]
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of
his evil deeds.

- Same old trick of the old serpent, the
devil -
James Cameron, the
man who brought you 'The Titanic' is back.
--the cornerstone of Our faith, foretold by the prophets --
and that his burial cave was discovered near Jerusalem and Jesus sired ( father-ed
) a son with Mary Magdelene.
No, it's not a re-make of "The Da Vinci Codes'. It's supposed
to be true.
Yeshua said, "I am the
resurrection"
John.11 [
24] Martha saith unto him, I
know that he shall rise again in the resu
rrection at the last day. [25
] Jesus said unto her,
I am the resurrection, and the life
: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall
he live:
The resurrection was foretold in TaNaKh
and is vital for our everlasting life
Luke.24 [
46] And said unto them,
Thus it is written
, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the
dead the third day:
Acts.26 [
22] Having therefore obtained
help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great,
saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should
come:[23]
That Christ should
suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead
, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
---------------------
Matt.22 [
23] The same day came to him
the Sadducees, which say that there
is no resurrection, and asked him,
[28] Therefore in the resurrection whose wife
shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
[30] For in the resurrection they neither marry,
nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
[31] But as touching the resurrection of the
dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
Matt.27
[ 53] And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the
holy city, and appeared unto many.
Luke.14 [
14] And thou shalt be blessed;
for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at
the resurrection of the just.
John.5
[29] And shall come forth; they that have
done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto
the resurrection of damnation.
John.11 [
24] Martha saith unto him, I
know that he shall rise again in the resu
rrection at the last day.
[25] Jesus said
unto her, I am the resurrection, and
the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead,
yet shall he live:
Acts.1
[22
] Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that
he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his
resurrection.
-----------
David said:
Acts.2
[31
] He ( David ) seeing this before spake of the
resurrection of Christ, that his soul
was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
Pss.16[
10] For thou wilt not leave
my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
------------
Acts.4
[2
] Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through
Jesus the resurrection from
the dead.
[33] And with
great power gave the apostles witness of the resu
rrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon
them all.
Acts.17
[18
] Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans,
and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said,
What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of
strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and
the resurrection.
[32] And when they heard of the resurrection
of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this
matter.
Acts.23
[6
] But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and
the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a
Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resu
rrection of the dead I am called in question.
[8] For the Sadducees say that there is
no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
Acts.24
[15
] And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow,
that there shall be a resurrection of
the dead, both of the just and unjust.
[21] Except
it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them,
Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question
by you this day.
Rom.1[
4] And declared to be the Son
of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the
resurrection from the dead:
Rom.6[
5] For if we have been planted
together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the
likeness of his resurrection:
Phil.3[
10] That I may know him, and
the power of his resurrection
, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable
unto his death; [11] If by any
means I might attain unto the resu
rrection of the dead.
2Tim.2[
18] Who concerning the truth
have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already;
and overthrow the faith of some.
Heb.6[
2] Of the doctrine of baptisms,
and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the
dead, and of eternal judgment.
Heb.11[
35] Women received their dead
raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance;
that they might obtain a better resu
rrection:
1Pet.1[
3] Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten
us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus
Christ from the dead,
1Pet.3[
21] The like figure whereunto
even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the
flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the
resurrection of Jesus Christ:
Rev.20[
5] But the rest of the dead
lived not again until the thousand years were finished.
This is the first resurrection.
[6] Blessed
and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection
: on such the second death hath no power, but they
shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand
years.
1Cor. 15
[1] Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you
the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein
ye stand;
[3] For I delivered
unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for
our sins according to the scriptures
;
Witnesses of the resurrection
Matt.18[
16] But if he will not hear
thee, then take with thee one or two
more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established
.
Num.35[
30] Whoso killeth any person,
the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but
one witness shall not testify against
any person to cause him to die.
Deut.17[
6] At the mouth of two witnesses,
or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at
the mouth of one witness he
shall not be put to death.
Deut.19[
15] One
witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity,
or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses,
or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
back to 1Cor.
15
[5] And that
he was seen
of Cephas, then of the twelve:
[9] For I am
the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because
I persecuted the church of God.
***
Luke.1 [1
] Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth
in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among
us,[2] Even as they delivered
them unto us, which from the beginning
were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;[
3] It seemed good to me also,
having had perfect understanding of
all things from the very first, to write unto thee
in order, most excellent Theophilus,[4
] That thou mightest know the certainty
of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
Luke 24 - [
43] And he took it, and did
eat before them.[44] And he
said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet
with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law
of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.[
45] Then opened he their understanding,
that they might understand the scriptures,[46
] And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved
Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
back to 1Cor.
15
[12] Now if
Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say
some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
[19] If in this
life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
[20] But now is Christ risen from the dead,
and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
[29] Else what
shall they do which are baptized for the dead
( if Yeshua is dead
), if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for
the dead?[30] And why stand
we in jeopardy every hour?[31
] I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our
Lord, I die daily.
[32] If after
the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it
me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
[42] So also is the resurrection of the
dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
Matt.28
[1] In the end
of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
16] Then the eleven disciples went
away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

'If Jesus was alive today, he would understand that his ancestors ... were
beasts'
Posted: March 2, 2007

By Jay Baggett
© 2007 WorldNetDaily.com
The present-day Sanhedrin Court along with a group of extremist rabbis announced
their plans on Wednesday to resume ancient Temple practices of animal sacrifices
on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, despite religious bans by Moslems and Jews.
In a new documentary, Producer Cameron
and his director, Simcha Jacobovici, make the starting claim that Jesus wasn't
resurrected
[2] By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you,
unless ye have believed in vain.
[4] And that he was buried,
and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures:
[6]
After that, he was seen
of above five hundred brethren at once
; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but
some are fallen asleep.
[7] After that,
he was seen
of James; then of all the apostles.
[8]
And last of all he was seen
of me also,
as of one born out of due time.
[10] But by the grace of God
I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but
I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which
was with me.
[11] Therefore whether it were
I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
[47] And that repentance and
remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning
at Jerusalem.[48] And ye are witnesses
of these things.
[13]
But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
[14] And if Christ be not risen,
then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
[15] Yea, and we are found false
witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ:
whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
[16] For if the dead rise not,
then is not Christ raised:
[17] And if Christ be not raised,
your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
[18] Then they also which are
fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
[21]
For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
[22] For as in Adam all die,
even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
[23] But every man in his own
order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
[24] Then cometh the end, when
he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall
have put down all rule and all authority and power.
[25] For he must reign, till
he hath put all enemies under his feet.
[26] The last enemy that shall
be destroyed is death.
[27] For he hath put all things
under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest
that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
[28] And when all things shall
be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that
put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
[33] Be not deceived: evil communications
corrupt good manners.
[34] Awake to righteousness,
and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
[35] But some man will say,
How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
[36] Thou fool, that which thou
sowest is not quickened, except it die:
[37] And that which thou sowest,
thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat,
or of some other grain:
[38] But God giveth it a body
as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
[39] All flesh is not the same
flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another
of fishes, and another of birds.
[40] There are also celestial
bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and
the glory of the terrestrial is another.
[41] There is one glory of the
sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one
star differeth from another star in glory.
[43]
It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it
is raised in power:
[44] It is sown a natural body;
it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual
body.
[45] And so it is written, The
first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening
spirit.
[46] Howbeit that was not first
which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is
spiritual.
[47] The first man is of the
earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
[48] As is the earthy, such
are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that
are heavenly.
[49] And as we have borne the
image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
[50] Now this I say, brethren,
that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption
inherit incorruption.
[51] 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.
[55] O death, where is thy sting?
O grave, where is thy victory?
[56] The sting of death is sin;
and the strength of sin is the law.
[57] But thanks be to God, which
giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
[58] Therefore, my beloved brethren,
be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch
as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
[2] And, behold, there was a
great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came
and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
[3] His countenance was like
lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
[4] And for fear of him the
keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
[5] And the angel answered and
said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was
crucified.
[6] He is not here:
for "he is risen"
, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
[7] And go quickly, and tell
his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before
you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
[8] And they departed quickly
from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples
word.
[9] And as they went to tell
his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and
held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
[10] Then said Jesus unto them,
Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall
they see me.
[11] Now when they were going, behold,
some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all
the things that were done.
[12] And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they
gave large money unto the soldiers,
[13] Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while
we slept.
[14] And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure
you.
[15] So they took the money, and
did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews
until this day[
[17] And when they saw him,
they worshipped him: but some doubted.
[18]
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven
and in earth.
[19] Go ye therefore, and teach
all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Ghost:
[20] Teaching them to observe
all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even
unto the end of the world. Amen.
