One in Messiah Congregation
We need to educate and teach the churches on these few important topics. There are just to many to list.
We need to educate the churches about God's calendar and His New Year
God's New Year ( March / April - Spring )
Esth.3 [ 7] In the first month, that is, the month Nisan
Exod.12[ 2] This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
[18] In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.

1Kgs.6[1] And it came to pass in
the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come
out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel,
in the month
Zif, which is the
second month,
3
Esth.8 [9] Then were the king's
scribes called at that time in the third month, that
is, the month Sivan,
( no scripture for the 4th, 5th and 6th months to show the names )
4 Tammuz ? No
Ezek.8[
14] Then he brought me to the
door of the gate of the LORD's house which was toward the north; and, behold,
there sat women weeping for
Tammuz - ( pagan deity )
5 Ab/Av ?
6 Elul ?
Neh.6 [15] So the wall was finished
in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul
,
7
1Kgs.8 [2] And all the men of Israel
assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast
in the month Ethanim
, which is the seventh month.
8
1Kgs.6 [38] And in the eleventh
year, in the month
Bul, which is the
eighth month ,
was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
9
Zech.7[1] And it came to pass in
the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah
in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in
Chisleu;

Esth.3 [7] In the first month, that
is, the month Nisan,
We need to educate the churches about God's feasts
Lev.23[
2] Speak unto the children of
Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of
the LORD,
[44] And Moses
declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the
LORD. The Spring Feasts of the Lord
were fulfilled by the Messiah's first coming!
Passover - Pesach -
When did Yeshua - Jesus die?
Nisan 14 - Yeshua died on Thursday at 3:00 pm Matt:27:45 -
1st. day
Remembering the deliverance from Egyptian bondage. An unblemished
firstborn male lamb was sacrificed and its blood poured on the altar. A lamb
was selected for each family, and four days before the lamb was to be slain
it was brought into the home for a four-day examination period. Jesus is the
sacrificial lamb who died for our sins. On Nisan 14 at the exact time the lamb
was to be slain, Jesus was slain. Jesus also had a four-day examination period
before the religious leaders and was found without blemish. Yeshua / Jesus had his
meal with his disciples in the night, ( begining of the 14th ),
died on the 14th in the daytime hours and put in the tomb all before the the 15th, which is a sabbath.
Feast of Unleavened Bread / Hag HaMatzah
Nisan 15 - a Sabbath - 1st. night- 2nd day (Fri.)
Leaven symbolizes sin. Unleavened Bread speaks of sanctification.
God told the Jews to cleanse all leaven from their homes and eat only unleavened
bread, matzah, for seven days, symbolizing a holy walk with Him. Jesus is the
"Bread of Life" without sin. Born in Bethlehem. In Hebrew, Bethlehem
means house of bread. Just as matzah is unleavened, ( sign of no sin ) so was
the Messiah sinless.
Nisan 16 - a Sabbath - 2nd. night - 3nd. day (Sat.)
Day of Firstfruits / Bikkurim
Nisan 17 - 3rd. night,
Nisan 17 then as the sun did rise - Mark 16:2
early the first day of the week, Sunday -Yeshua rose from the
Dead which is 3 days and 3 nights later
The first of the barley harvest was brought as an offering
to the priest in the Tabernacle/Temple. The priest would present the first
of the harvest unto the Lord by waving them back and forth. This reminded the
Hebrews that God gave them the land, and the harvest belonged to Him. 1 Cor.
15:20-23). Jesus' resurrection marked the beginning of the harvest of souls.
John 12:23-24,32 shows Jesus was likened to a grain of wheat falling to the
ground and dying to produce a great harvest. Jesus arose on Firstfruits.
Feast of Weeks/Shavuot- Pentecost
where the Holy Spirit empowered the believers.
These fall feasts and holy
convocations represent the Second Coming of the Messiah.
The fall Feasts of the Lord are
in the "7th month called Ethanim
not Tishri".
1Kgs.8 [2] And all the men of Israel assembled themselves
unto king Solomon at the feast in
the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
Blowing of the Trumpets
Day of atonement
Feast of tabernacles
We need to educate the churches
about who should participate in God's feasts
Exod.12[
48] And when a
stranger shall sojourn with thee,
and will keep the passover to the LORD,
let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near
and keep it; and he shall be
as one that is born in the land
:
for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
Deut.10[
16]
Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart
, and be no more stiffnecked.
Deut.30[
6] And the LORD thy
God will circumcise thine heart, and
the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with
all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
Jer.4[
4]
Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away
the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants
of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench
it, because of the evil of your doings.
Ezek.44[
7] In
that ye have brought into my sanctuary
strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised
in flesh, to be in my sanctuary
, to pollute it, even
my house, when
ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken
my covenant because
of all your abominations. [8
] And ye have not kept
the charge of mine holy things:
but ye have set keepers of my charge in
my sanctuary for yourselves.[
9] Thus saith the Lord GOD;
No stranger,
uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh
, shall enter
into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.
2Cor.7[
1] Having therefore these promises,
dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness
of the flesh
and spirit
, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
We need to educate the churches
about who was the new covenant given to?
Jer.31
31] Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that
I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel
, and with the house of Judah
:[32
] 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 the LORD:[
33] But
this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
; After those days, saith the LORD, 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.[34]
And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother,
saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto
the greatest of them, saith the LORD; for I will forgive
their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more
.
Heb.8[
7] For if that
first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have
been sought for the second.
( covenant ) [8
] For finding fault with them, ( the people
) 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:[
9] 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
.[10] 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:[11
] 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.[12
] For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and
their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more
.[13
] In that he saith, A new covenant, he
hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to
vanish away.
We need to educate the churches
about what is the new covenant.
Heb.8[
8] 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:
Heb.10[1
] For the law having a shadow of good things to come,
and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which
they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
Pss.40[
6] Sacrifice
and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast
thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou
not required.[7
] Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume
of the book it is written of me,[
8] I delight to do thy will, O my God:
yea, thy law is within my heart
Isa.1[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?
Prov.15
[8] The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer
of the upright is his delight.
1Sam.15[
22] And Samuel said, Hath the
LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the
voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,
and to hearken than the fat of rams.
Jer.7[
21] Thus saith the LORD of hosts,
the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.
Mic.6[
8] He hath shewed thee, O man,
what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee,
but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
Heb.10[7] Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the
book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
[8] Above when
he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou
wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
10 He taketh
away the first ( covenant ) establish the second. ( covenant )
[16] This is
the covenant ( from Jer. 31: 32 to 34 ) that I
will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into
their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;[17] And their sins and
iniquities will I remember no more.
[18] Now where
remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.[
19] Having therefore, brethren, boldness
to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus / Yeshua.[
20] By a new
and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through
the veil, that is to say, his flesh
;[21] And
having an high priest over the
house of God;[22] Let us draw
near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having
our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience,
and our bodies washed with pure water
.[23] Let us hold
fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that
promised;)[24] And let us consider
one another to provoke unto love and to good works:[
25] Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together,
as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more,
as ye see the day approaching.[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.
We need to educate the churches
about keeping the Commandments
Read Exod. 20
- Deut. 5
1Chr.28[
9] And thou, Solomon my son,
know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with
a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the
imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee;
but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever
.
2Chr.15[1
] And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of
Oded:[2] And he went out to
meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The
LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found
of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you
.
Exod.16[
28] And the LORD said unto Moses,
How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
Exod.20[
6] And shewing mercy unto thousands
of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Lev.22[
31] Therefore
shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.
Lev.26[
3] If
ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them
;
Exod.20[1
] And God spake all these words, saying,[
2] I am the LORD thy God, which have
brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
( the 2nd Commandment
) [4
] 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:[5
] Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:
for I the LORD 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;[
6] And
shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
( the 2nd Commandment
)
Deut.5[
8] Thou shalt not make 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 waters beneath the earth:[
9] Thou shalt not bow down thyself
unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD 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,[10] And shewing mercy unto thousands
of them that love me and keep my commandments.
1Kgs.9[1
] And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the
building of the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all Solomon's
desire which he was pleased to do,[2
] That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had
appeared unto him at Gibeon.[3
] And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy
supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which
thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart
shall be there perpetually.[4
] And
if thou wilt walk before me
, as David thy father walked, in
integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have
commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments:[5] Then I will
establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to
David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of
Israel.
[6] But if ye
shall at all turn from following me,
ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments
and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and
worship them:[7] Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given
them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of
my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:[8] And
at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished,
and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land,
and to this house?[9] And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD
their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have
taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore
hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil.
2Kgs.17[
13] Yet the LORD testified against
Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying,
Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my comm
andments and my statutes, according to all the law which
I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.
Neh.1[
9] But if ye turn unto me, and
keep my commandments, and do
them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven,
yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that
I have chosen to set my name there.
Prov.3[
1] My son, forget not my law;
but let thine heart keep my commandments:
Prov.4[
4] He taught me also, and said
unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments,
and live.
Prov.7[
2] Keep
my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
John.14
[15] If ye love me, keep my commandments. (
Yeshua / Jesus said )
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.
Deut.27[
10] Thou shalt therefore obey
the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his commandments
and his statutes, which I command thee this day.
Pss.103[
20] Bless the LORD, ye his angels,
that excel in strength, that do his commandments
, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
Pss.111[
10] The fear of the LORD is
the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all
they that do his commandments: his praise endureth
for ever.
Rev.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.
We need to educate the churches
about keeping the Sabbath
Exod.16[
23] And he said unto them, This
is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the
holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that
which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth
over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
Neh.913
] Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest
with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good
statutes and commandments:[14
] And
madest known unto them thy holy sabbath
, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws,
by the hand of Moses thy servant:
( the 4th Commandment )
Exod.20
[8] Remember the sabbath day, to
keep it holy. [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.
Exod.31[
13] Speak thou also unto the
children of Israel, saying, Verily my
sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your
generations;
Lev.19[
3] Ye shall fear every man his
mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths
: I am the LORD your God.
[30] Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary:
I am the LORD.
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.
Lev.24
[8] Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually,
being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.
Lev.25[
2] Speak unto the children of
Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then
shall the land keep a sabbath
unto the LORD.
[4] But in the
seventh year shall be a sabbath
of rest unto the land, a sabbath
for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune
thy vineyard.
[6] And the
sabbath of the land shall be
meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy
hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,
[8] And thou
shalt number seven sabbaths
of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven
sabbaths of years shall be
unto thee forty and nine years.
Lev.26
[2] Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
Luke.23[
56] And they returned, and prepared
spices and ointments; and
rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
We need to educate the churches
about what is sin
Jas.4[17]
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
Rom.7[
11] For
sin, "taking occasion" ( going around ) by the commandment
, deceived me, and by it slew me
.
1John.3
[4]Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law ( Torah ) : for
sin is the transgression of the
law ( torah ).
[8] He that committeth sin is of the devil
; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the
Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1John.2[1
] My little children, these things write I unto you,
that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus
Christ the righteous:
1John.5[
16] If any man see his brother
sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life
for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that
he shall pray for it.[17] All unrighteousness is sin:
and there is a sin not unto death.
1John.3
[15] Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer
hath eternal life abiding in him.
1Cor.6
[9] Know ye not that the unrighteous
shall not inherit the kingdom of God?
Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters,
nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,[10]
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall
inherit the kingdom of God.
Gal.5[19]
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication,
uncleanness, lasciviousness,[20] Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations,
wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,[21] Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings,
and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time
past, that they which do such things
shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
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.
We need to educate the churches
to put a difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean
Lev.10[
10] And that ye may
put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean
and clean;[11
] And that ye may teach
the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken
unto them by the hand of Moses.
Lev.11
[47] To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between
the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
Lev.20[
25] Ye shall therefore put difference
between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and
ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner
of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you
as unclean.
Ezek.22[
26] Her priests have violated
my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between
the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the
unclean and the clean, and
have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
Ezek.44[23] And
they shall teach my people the
difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between
the unclean and the clean.
Deut.23[
14] For the LORD thy God walketh
in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before
thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy
: that he see no unclean thing
in thee, and turn away from thee.
Hag.2[
13] Then said Haggai, If one
that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And
the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.
We need to educate the churches
about teaching their children
Deut.11[
19] And
ye shall teach them your children, speaking of
them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when
thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Fifty day later:
Lev.23:[24] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying,
In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath,
a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
[27] Also on the tenth day of this seventh month
there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you;
and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the
LORD.
[34] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying,
The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for
seven days unto the LORD. [39] Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month,
when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto
the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth
day shall be a sabbath. [41] And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven
days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall
celebrate it in the seventh month.
[37] These are the feasts of the
LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations
[9] 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.
[10] 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:
[2] For then would they not
have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should
have had no more conscience of sins.
[3] But in those sacrifices
there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
[4] For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and
of goats should take away sins.
[5] Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he
saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not,
but a body hast thou prepared me
:[6] In burnt offerings and
sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
[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
[22] For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded
them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt
offerings or sacrifices:[23] But this thing commanded
I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye
shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you,
that it may be well unto you.[24
] But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in
the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward,
and not forward.[25] Since the
day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have
even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and
sending them:[26] Yet they hearkened
not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse
than their fathers.[27] Therefore
thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee:
thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee.[
28] But thou shalt say unto them, This
is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth
correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
[9] Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God.
[10] By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of
Jesus Christ once for all.
[11]
And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same
sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
[12] But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice
for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
[13]
From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
[14] For by one offering he hath perfected for ever
them that are sanctified.
[15]
Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said
before,
[3] Thou shalt have no other
gods before me.
[2] And he is the propitiation
for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.[
3] And
hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.[4] He
that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the
truth is not in him.[5]
But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby
know we that we are in him.[6
] He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk,
even as he walked.
