The Tokens of Unity For the Covenant Hebrews 9:20 "Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you." Deuteronomy 4:23 "Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you..." Leviticus 8:5-7 "And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which the Lord commanded to be done.6 And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water." Because the blood is the life of the flesh; the blood is also used to join us to God in His covenant. The blood joins us to God. Used in the preparation of the priesthood, Moses sprinkled water and blood with hyssop upon the book and all the people as he was pronouncing these words, “This is the blood of the covenant which God has enjoined unto you.” Out of the side of Jesus on the cross both water and blood oozed over His body. Jesus speaking these words “It is finished” and the words of sanctification He gave His apostles before His arrest were now sealed for us in a new priesthood. John 19:34 "But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water." The Lamb Slain Before the Foundation of the World: God’s Parable Hebrews 4:3 "For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world." Revelation 13:8 "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, (Beast) whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." God in His wisdom elected to use this substance called blood for our redemption. Its composition was drawn from the dew and the sun. Short History 2 Enoch 30:8 "his blood from the dew and from the sun," 2 Enoch 27:1-2 "And I gave the command: Let there be taken some of the light and some of the darkness. 2. And I said, Become thickened, and be wrapped around with light and I spread it out and it became water..." The dew of waters formed the firmament which God divided. Water itself is a portion of light and darkness. This substance contained a contradiction that God would rectify by Himself. Dividing the Waters from the Waters: Separation to Heal For He created a dimension that would mirror a parable of our journey. The frame of Adam was taken from the soil and God covered Him in light. The soil came from the hard rock which both man and angels have a distant relation. 2 Enoch 29:3 "And from the rock I cut off a great fire and from the fire I created the ranks of the bodiless armies." God formed the mountains from the waves and by the flash of His eye cut out the hosts of the angels from the fiery rock. 2 Enoch 28:2 "And from the waves I created rocks solid and big." Exodus 17:6 "Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel." Now the blood is taken from the dew and from the sun mixing two kingdoms as the sand of the sea and the stars of heaven. From smallness to greatness and from stone to fire. God put a Parable in His prophecy to Abraham. Genesis 22:17 "That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;" We are also taken from lowness to greatness. The promises to Abraham were that man would find his eternal rest in the One that would bring us back to God to purify us by the fire. Philippians 2:8-9 "And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:" The Peace of God Rules Let the Peace of God rule in your heart, for the Name of the Lord keeps the peace between the fire and the water to where they do no consume one another. 3 Enoch 32:7 "He keeps the peace in His heights; He keeps peace between fire and water..." Adam’s frame of the waters and the covering of the fire did not destroy him. Now when Adam sinned the waters grew weak and the fires receded into the body not visible to the eye. Jesus Christ had to shed His blood to reunite these powers under His sanctification to bring us back into the light of God without transgression as we are born of His divine power. Why The Virgin Birth Jesus being born in the waters of the flesh was the vessel which Christ of the fires would inhabit and the blood being of the dew of heaven and as the stars (sun) would rule over sin called the darkness of this world. The Stewardship is in the Door of the Gate Judges 16:3 "And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron." Christ stands in the door of our conscience as the steward of our Salvation. John 20:19 "Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you." James 5:9 "Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door." His seed would stand in the gate. The greater light called the sun and the lesser light being the moon teaches us that His divine stewardship and the holy priesthood is in the mediation of Jesus Christ for He is Lord of all. Vision of Naphtali Testament of Naphtali 2:1-8 "...Levi laid hold of the sun and Judah outstripped the others and seized the moon..." The earth benefits from the powers of the sun (Levi’s gift in priesthood) and the moon (Judah’s stewardship) which God ordained to care for His creation. The sun and the moon will testify of mans sin for despising His sanctification He put in all creation. Acts 2:20 "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:" Here ends the history of our Lord’s parable given to us to be wise in our faith.
