When A Perfect Man Keeps God's Law -- What Does This Mean?

Post by Apollyon (Revelation 9:11) »

When A Perfect Man Keeps God's Law Perfectly -- What Does This Mean?

Ask yourself one important question:

When Jesus' life course was complete and he had fully kept the Mosaic Law perfectly, that is kept every law perfectly, completely without sin itself, did this action on Jesus' part, entitle Jesus to everlasting life on earth, or in the heavens...which?

In other words, wasn't Jehovah trying show a perfect man such as Jesus, could indeed KEEP HIS LAW, just as Adam could have done so?

Further, if Jesus did what Adam could have done, then why wouldn't Jesus INHERIT THE EXACT SAME as Adam would have inherited, if he had obeyed Jehovah's Law too? Wouldn't they have inherited the exact same thing, from the hand of God Almighty? And wouldn't that be, ETERNAL LIFE ON EARTH ... Isn't that so? -- See 1 Corinthians 15:45
.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Think about it.

You see, one thing we learn about the Mosaic Law Covenant is that, it was designed to produce a faithful priesthood ... ON EARTH. (Exodus 19:5, 6) A special priesthood where all obedient followers of this covenant, would inherit everlasting life, like Adam and & Eve had. Everlasting life, that was free of "sin," "sickness," and "death." This was the point that Paul made at Romans 5:13, 14, which says.

"For UNTIL THE LAW SIN WAS IN THE WORLD, but sin is not charged against anyone when there is no law. Nevertheless, DEATH RULED AS KING FROM ADAM DOWN TO MOSES, even over those who had not sinned after the likeness of the transgression by Adam, who bears a resemblance to him that was to come."

Paul said above, Sin was only "in the world," up to THE LAW, did you see that? Also Paul said above, the powerful age-old enemy of "DEATH," only ... only "ruled as king from ADAM DOWN TO MOSES," ... did you see this? Now, for the big question ... what does this mean?

Do you have the answer to such a question?

(For a more detail discussion of Romans 5:13, 14, please see the article entitled: Romans 5:13, 14 Promises Grand Blessings For God's Earthly Kingdom BEFORE The 1,000-Year Reign On Earth! )

And of course thinking back on title of this article, we know Jesus kept this Law, the Mosaic Law Covenant, perfectly, did he not? Therefore, Jesus then, would have been entitled to received exactly what Adam had lost, namely a life free of "sin," "sickness," and "death." All of which would mean, Jesus, had he not been murdered by wicked men of the Jewish nation (using the Roman Authorities and Pontius Pilate), according to Satan's wishes, then ... yes, Jesus would have lived forever on earth? Isn't that so?

Yes, Jesus would have inherited life UPON EARTH ... isn't that correct thinking? Now, that's if he had continued to live on earth, and practiced no sin upon it at all, then wouldn't that mean, Jesus would have completely fulfilled all ... all of the wonderful prophecies about blessed life on earth? Isn't that true? Yes, Jesus would have fully carried out, Grand Blessings of earth wide peace, like what's spoken of in Psalms 72:6-19, Micah 5:4 and Zechariah 9:10, would he not? Then too, wouldn't Jesus have carried out the wonderful blessings establishing true worship on earth, whereby many "nations," yes "mighty nations" even, would finally have decided to worship Jehovah, as promised in prophecy like what's found at Isaiah 2:2-4, Micah 4:1-4 and Zechariah 8:20-22, where "mighty nations" from all over the earth, would "stream" to the Grand "Mountain of Jehovah" and would be fed spiritually, and have "Zion's Law," being promulgated to them, yes ... ETERNALLY ... yes, forever.

And why do we say this?

Again, it would have been so because Jesus, yes Jesus, was ALIVE ON EARTH, dispensing these wonderful blessings upon earth for mankind's benefit. That's why. Yes, Jesus would have been alive as a man, a perfect sin-free man, who had completely fulfilled the Mosaic Law Covenant, and would thus have inherited all of those blessing inherent ... yes, inherent in that particular Law Covenant, the Mosaic Law Covenant.

Think about it...

But, of course, we know this did not happen. No because Jesus, the perfect man who kept the Mosaic Law perfectly ... was MURDERED ... was he not?

Yes, Jesus was murdered, and his perfect, sin-free, sickness-free, death-free life was greatly shortened, courtesy of wicked Satan the Devil. Isn't that so?

Now, with Jesus' life being shortened, taken away from him without RIGHTEOUS CAUSE, what was Jehovah and Jesus to do, with all of those wonderful ... EARTHLY ... yes, earthly blessings?

Well, maybe John 16:13-15 could help us here. Let's consider what it says below:

"However, when that one arrives, the spirit of the truth, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak of his own impulse, but what things he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things coming. That one will glorify me, because HE WILL RECEIVE FROM WHAT IS MINE and will declare it to you. All the things that the Father has are mine. That is why I said HE RECEIVES FROM WHAT IS MINE and declares it to you."

Did you notice above, Jesus said the "spirit of truth," was going to "receive what was mine," namely what rightfully belonged to Jesus, after he faithfully FULFILLED the Mosaic Law? -- Matthew 5:17

Did you notice this?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Do you have any idea what they could possibly mean?

How the "spirit of truth," could actually ... RECEIVE something this important from Jesus? Do you know actually what this means, for us today?

...Think about it.

Awesome article!

Post by Ground Zero »

Don,

This is an "Awesome Article"!

I really liked how John 16:13-15 was broken down.

It said..."When that one arrives, the spirit of the truth, he will guide you into all the truth." ...Well, that one is the modern day servant or Christ which simply means (annointed one). Awesome!

The article also said..."For he will not speak of his own impulse, but what things he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things coming." ...This one is inspired from, 'God himself'. Awesome!

And it said..."That one will glorify me, because HE WILL RECEIVE FROM WHAT IS MINE and will declare it to you. All the things that the Father has are mine. That is why I said HE RECIEVES FROM WHAT IS MINE and declares it to you." ...This person is given something so 'amazing' right from Jesus and we will all benefit from it in the very near future. Awesome!

The end of the article asked a thought provoking question. It asked, "How the "spirit of the truth," could actually...RECEIVE something this important from Jesus? Do you know actually what this means, for us today? ...This means, soon we all can recieve a beautiful blessing beyond belief. A healing of the soul. Something this man soon recieves because Jesus has chosen him, what an "Awesome blessing". :D

The "Seed of Eve," & God's Challenge!

Post by Apollyon (Revelation 9:11) »

Thanks, JayJay! :D

Indeed, it is a wonderous privilege for us today, to partake of such blessings, handed down by Jesus himself. We know, all along, Jesus wanted heavenly life for himself, and NOT earthly. This is what he prayed for, remember. -- See John 17:5

Of course, this meant all of the wonderful promises of the Mosaic Law, life free of sin, sickness and death, can all be ours because what Jesus promised to be given to the "Spirit of Truth," mentioned at John 16:13-16.

Jesus gives these wonderful blessings to the "Spirit of Truth," who will prove to be the MDS [Modern Day Servant - Isa. 49:5, 6] just as you said above, the "seed of Eve," who Jehovah promised would take up the "Genesis 3:15 Challenge" made by God in the Garden of Eden, and provide an "answer" to the Wicked One by being obedient to God's Requirements. -- Proverbs 27:11

Of course, the blood of Jesus would be used to "justify" or "declare righteous" this imperfect sinner before he could be used by God. This blood (of Jesus) would clean him up of all of his "Watchtower Sins," as it were, like the ones mentioned in Volume I of the Report book. (Romans 5:9) We can see this "justification" in action mentioned in Leviticus 14th chapter (escape bird) and Leviticus 16th chapter (escape goat) scenarios, where holy blood is applied to both animals, and the bird and goat are then, released into the "wilderness" to carry the sins of the nation away.

This provides the missing link of information, about the origin of the "Seed of Eve" being an imperfect descendant of Adam and Eve, and how God purposed long ago to use this person as the "Chieftain," of His Temple, in the Last Days. He becomes also, the rider of the "White Horse" of Revelation who receives the holy "crown" from God, in the last days. -- Ezekiel 44:3; Revelation 6:2

Here is a link that deals with this topic of the "Seed of Eve."

THE "GENESIS 3:15 CHALLENGE": "SEED OF EVE" AS AN IMPERFECT DESCENDANT USED BY GOD TO DEFEAT SATAN.
