Subject: What is iniquity in Matthew 7:23? |
Bible Note: John, Before starting a long exegesis a couple of points: Revelation 20:5-6 “But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 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.” So we want to be a part of the 1st resurrection because the 2nd resurrection is for those subject to the 2nd death. What happens during the millennium? Isaiah 2:3 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and HE WILL TEACH US OF HIS WAYS, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law (Torah), and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. The correct way is shown to the remnant House of Israel (Lost Tribes) Ezekiel 43:10 “Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern. 11 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.” “The whole was made “obsolete.” The whole disappeared with the destruction of the temple, the altar, and the priesthood under Titus Vespasian in a.d. 70.” Has he really done his homework? Ezekiel 45:17 “And it shall be the prince's part to give BURNT OFFERINGS, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the FEASTS, and in the NEW MOONS, and in the SABBATHS, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the SIN OFFERING, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel." Somebody is missing something somewhere. Those who are alive now are the saints that “keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus” (Revelation 14:12). Why are there feasts, Sabbaths, sin offerings etc. during the millennium. Zechariah 14:16,19 “And it shall come to pass (during the millennium after the tribulation), that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to KEEP THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES. 19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and THE PUNISHMENTof all nations that COME NOT UP to keep the feast of tabernacles.” Jeremiah 3:17 "At that(during the millennium) time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the IMAGINATION OF THEIR EVIL HEART." No more “lawlessness”. Romans 10:4 “For Christ is the end (Strongs 5056, telos) of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” “Telos” is from a primary “tello” (to set out for a definite point or goal). The idea is that Messiah is the goal/aim of the law, not the abolishment of it. More to come, Greg Boone PS- I find that most people have never actually seen the 613 commandments that have been “done away with” before deciding that they are a burden. You will see them categorized in sections such as Property Rights, Business Practices, Family, Criminal Law, etc. Everyone says, “What would Jesus do?” This is exactly what He did: http://www.jewfaq.org/613.htm |
