Abraham's High Faith

ABRAHAM’S HIGH FAITH

"By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God." Hebrews 11:8-10

Oh heavenly souls, please read this article very carefully. For if you will have faith to hear it, we who are of that heavenly city of Abraham, that one city of faith, we who are of that heavenly Church, heavenly Jerusalem, our Mother wisdom above (as it is written in Hebrews 12:22), are now calling you to come to the HIGH FAITH OF ABRAHAM.

ABRAHAM'S HIGH FAITH

There are at this time three renown earthly religious systems sitting in the old earthly religious city called Jerusalem. These three earthly religious systems are called; Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

All three of these earthly religious systems that sit in this earthly Jerusalem, have several things in common.

All three of these earthly religious systems, say that they are of THE HIGH FAITH OF ABRAHAM.

And all three of these earthly religious systems profess to have knowledge of the one law of truth, and of the one law of mercy, that the one Lord God gave to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses, and the prophets.

Not only do all three of these earthly religious systems, that sit in this old earthly religious city called Jerusalem, profess to have the knowledge of the one law of truth, and of the one law of mercy, that the one Lord God gave unto Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses and the prophets, but also, all three of these three earthly religious systems profess to be walking in this one law of truth, and of the one law of mercy, that the one Lord God gave to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses, and the prophets.

But, oh heavenly souls, the scriptures will show you (by God’s Holy Spirit, if you will have ears to hear God‘s Holy Spirit doctrine), that these earthly religious systems ARE NOT OF THE HIGH FAITH OF ABRAHAM, nor do they have knowledge of the one law of truth, and of the one law of mercy, that the one Lord God gave to Abraham, and to Isaac, and to Jacob, and Moses and the prophets.

And this is because, they do not have THE KEY OF FAITH THAT UNLOCKS THE LETTER OF THE LAW.

For they do not know the ONE ETERNAL HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL WORD of FAITH of the one Lord God, which is to be found in THE HIGH FAITH OF ABRAHAM, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses and the prophets.

THE KEY, THE SPIRITUAL LAW OF THE IMMORTAL WORD OF FAITH, WHICH IS ONLY TO BE FOUND IN THE ONE LAW OF FAITH Rom.3:27, THE ONE LAW OF MERCY AND TRUTH, that the one Lord God gave to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses and the prophets, THIS THEY DO NOT KNOW!

The three say that they have the law of THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. But they DO NOT understand THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

When you have come to see this heavenly souls, then you will be able to see A DESTRUCTION THAT IS IN THESE THREE EARTHLY RELIGIOUS SYSTEMS, BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF ALL THESE THINGS BEING IN THEM.

And since these three earthly religious systems have spread over the whole world, you will be able to see how this DESTRUCTION that is in them, has spread over the whole world. And in seeing this, you should be AMAZED!

Because, oh heavenly souls, TERRIBLE, YES VERY, VERY TERRIBLE IS THIS DESTRUCTION.

FOR IN REGARD TO THIS DESTRUCTION, The one Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses and the prophets, SAID THAT HE WOULD reject all people who are in this destruction.

For the one Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses and the prophets, said that mankind would be DESTROYED, AND THAT HE WOULD REJECT THEM, BECAUSE OF LACK OF KNOWLEDGE in regards to their not knowing this one Lord God’s truth, mercy, and His laws, as it is written,

“Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.

Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away. Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest. Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children...”
Hosea 4:1-6

Here we see from the scriptures found in Hosea 4:1-6, that without having the knowledge of the One Lord God’s Faith, truth, mercy, and laws, mankind is DESTROYED. Also, we see from these scriptures, that all those who are to be of the faith of the One Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses and the prophets, must not reject the knowledge of the one Lord God’s truth, mercy, and laws, but on the contrary must have faith in that knowledge of the one Lord God‘s truth, mercy, and laws.

Let us now first begin by looking at Abraham and Sarah, in order to see that these three earthly religious systems that sit in this earthly Jerusalem, DO NOT have the knowledge of ABRAHAM’S and Sarah’s HIGH FAITH.

The apostle Paul, A MESSENGER OF THE ONE ETERNAL HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL WORD OF THE ONE LORD GOD, made the statement,

“ [7] But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
[8] Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
[9] But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
[10] But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
[11] For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
[12] Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
[13] Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
[14] But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” 1 Cor. 2:7-14

We must not pass over lightly the statement that THE MESSENGER OF THE ONE ETERNAL HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL WORD OF FAITH OF THE ONE LORD GOD, just made here. For do you see it oh heavenly souls? Do you see what is really being spoken here?

First, THE MESSENGER OF THE ONE ETERNAL HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL WORD OF THE FAITH OF THE ONE LORD GOD, said that he was speaking [7] the wisdom of God in a mystery.

Here THE MESSENGER OF THE ONE ETERNAL HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL WORD OF THE FAITH OF THE ONE LORD GOD, said that he was speaking “CHRIST”, i.e., he was speaking "THE ETERNAL HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL WORD”, for Christ, THE ETERNAL HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL Word of THE ONE LORD God, IS THE WISDOM OF GOD, as it is written,

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:” 1Cor.1:30.

Then THE MESSENGER OF THE ONE ETERNAL HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL WORD OF THE FAITH OF THE ONE LORD GOD said,

[8] Which none of the princes of this world knew.

Here we see that the religious teachers of this world DO NOT KNOW CHRIST ( i.e., have lack of knowledge of), THIS ETERNAL HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL WORD OF GOD, THIS WISDOM OF GOD.

Then THE MESSENGER OF THE ONE ETERNAL HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL WORD OF THE FAITH OF THE ONE LORD GOD, said that this wisdom was that which,

[9] Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

Then THE MESSENGER OF THE ONE ETERNAL HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL WORD OF THE FAITH OF THE ONE LORD GOD, said

[10] But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

Then THE MESSENGER OF THE ONE ETERNAL HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL WORD OF THE FAITH OF THE ONE LORD GOD, said that these things were in the teaching that the apostles were bringing forth, but that they knew that the natural man would not receive them, for he said,

[13] Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. [14] But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”

Let us now then look at SARAH, AND ABRAHAM, in order to see what THE SPIRIT OF GOD is saying about SARAH AND ABRAHAM; so that we might be able to compare Spiritual things with spiritual, in regards to HIGH FAITH OF ABRAHAM, AND SARAH, which the three religious systems that sit in Jerusalem below do not do.

For (as it will be seen), the three religious systems that sit in Jerusalem below, only except the carnal understanding of Abraham and Sarah.

But now, once we hear these Spiritual things, let us WELCOME THE SPIRITUAL, because if we look at Sarah and Abraham and not welcome the Spiritual things spoken about them, will we not be carnal in our thinking of Sarah and Abraham? And can the carnal understanding serve the laws of God? NO! For it is written,

“For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.” Rom.8:6-7

Or, as the early English (A.D. 1560) Geneva Bible, and other early English Bibles would have it:

“For the wisdom of the flesh is death: but the wisdom of the Spirit is life and peace. Because the wisdom of the flesh is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the Law of God, neither indeed can be.” Rom. 8:6-7 Geneva Bible

In our evil carnal earthly wisdom (see James 3:15), which we all were born with into this carnal earthly realm because of the fall of Adam and Eve, we could not be subject to the PURE, HEAVENLY, SPIRITUAL, life giving laws, of our heavenly mother wisdom above (see James 3:17).

For the earthly wisdom of the flesh, "STEALS" the heavenly Words of the Spiritual law of the PURE FOUNTAIN of wisdom above, and wraps these stolen waters (i.e., the Words of the Holy Spirit of wisdom above), with its own carnal flesh doctrines, and brings forth these Words as her own.

That is why it is written what carnal wisdom proclaims, and where she leads:

“Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.” Prov.9:17-18

That is why carnal wisdom below, causes all who are under her power, TO STUMBLE AT THE LAW OF WISDOM ABOVE.

And for that reason, the Lord of wisdom above, and all those who are in His Church of wisdom above, condemn the works of the bondwomen wisdom below, and her children (Mal.2:8, Isa. 8:13-15, Rom.9:32, Proverbs 4:19, Gal.4:30).

Let us begin. In 1 Peter 3:6, it is written,

“Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.” 1Peter 3:6

Let us ask, why did Sarah call Abraham Lord? And who are the daughters of Sarah?

In order to find the answer to this BY COMPARING SPIRITUAL WITH SPIRITUAL, we must first see just WHO (SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING) SARAH, AND ABRAHAM TRULY ARE.

In Gal. 4:21-31, it is written,

[21] Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? [22] For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
[23] But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
[24] Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
[25] For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
[26] But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
[27] For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
[28] Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
[29] But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
[30] Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
[31] So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

Here we see several amazing things. First we see Paul is speaking about the law that Abraham had, THE LAW THAT IS NOW ABOUT TO BE SPOKEN of. THIS IS THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT, THE SPIRITUAL LAW OF LIFE, THAT COMPARES SPIRITUAL THINGS WITH SPIRITUAL. The law that carnal man, WILL NOT WELCOME! And carnal man CANNOT GET TO KNOW IT. This is THE TRUE LAW THAT ABRAHAM HAD FAITH IN, AS WE SHALL NOW SEE.

First, that it is the LAW; we hear Paul say, [21] Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?

Here we see that IT IS THE LAW. And what does this law teach? What does this law say? It says,

For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
[23] But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
[24] Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
[25] For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

Here we see that THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT, SAYS THAT SARAH, AND ABRAHAM, AND AGAR, AND THEIR CHILDREN, ALL MUST BE SEEN AS AN “ ALLEGORY”.

The word, “allegory” means= to speak figuratively. So here we see that THAT SARAH, AND ABRAHAM, AND AGAR, AND THEIR CHILDREN, ALL MUST BE SEEN “FIGURATIVELY”.

Now someone may say, but I don’t want to try to see SARAH, AND ABRAHAM, AND AGAR, AND THEIR CHILDREN, that way. I don’t understand THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF SARAH, AND ABRAHAM, AND AGAR, AND THEIR CHILDREN, and I don’t need to understand it.

Oh, but you do! For we have just shown that all these things ARE THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT. And it says THAT THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT IS THAT WHICH SETS US FREE FROM SIN, (Rom.8:2).

So if you want to be set free from your dead carnal mind WHICH IS SOLD UNDER SIN (Rom.7:14), then you have to be willing to submit to the teaching of the Spirit of God.

But as to this wonderful teaching of the LAW OF THE SPIRIT, let us notice that Paul says,

[24] Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
[25] For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
[26] But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

Here we see that SARAH IS A COVENANT, AND THAT AGAR IS ONE ALSO, for Paul said,

[24] Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants;

And here we see that these TWO COVENANTS, THESE TWO WOMEN, ARE TWO CITIES, JERUSALEM BELOW, AND JERUSALEM ABOVE, for Paul said,

[25] For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
[26] But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

Now if someone IS NOT BORN OF JERUSALEM ABOVE, how can they be children OF SARAH?

Now, if someone IS NOT BORN OF JERUSALEM ABOVE, how can they be daughters of SARAH?

Now, if someone IS NOT IN THE COVENANT, IN THE LAW OF JERUSALEM ABOVE, how can they be children of SARAH?

Now SARAH’S children, ARE THE CHILDREN OF PROMISE as it is written,

"But he who was of he bond-woman was born after the flesh; but HE OF THE FREE WOMEN WAS BY PROMISE." Gal.4:23

Now, THE PROMISE, IS THE PROMISE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT (see Gal.3:14, Acts 2:33).

Now, THE HOLY SPIRIT, TEACHES BY COMPARING SPIRITUAL WITH SPIRITUAL (see 1Cor.2:13).

Now, IF THE SPIRITUAL THINGS ARE FOOLISH TO SOMEONE, AND IF THEY “DO NOT” WELCOME THEM, HOW CAN THEY BE CHILDREN OF PROMISE?

In Gal. 4:27, speaking about Jerusalem above, Paul quotes from Isa.54:1, and says,

“For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.” Gal.4:27

In Isa. 54:1-10 it is written,

“[1] Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.
[2] Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;
[3] For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
[4] Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
[5] For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
[6] For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.
[7] For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.
[8] In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.
[9] For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
[10] For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.” Isa.54:1-10

Let us give our ear to what is written here very, very CAREFULLY.

Notice that THE HUSBAND OF SARAH, “IS THE LORD” For it says, For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

Here we see, that THE HUSBAND OF SARAH IS GOD ALMIGHTY!

How can we be of the mind of SARAH OUR MOTHER, IF THE GOD OF ABRAHAM AND SARAH IS NOT OUR HUSBAND?

AND HOW CAN THE GOD OF ABRAHAM AND SARAH BE OUR HUSBAND, IF SARAH IS NOT OUR MOTHER?

So again, let us give the ear of our soul to hear what is written here very, very CAREFULLY. For it is written,

[8] In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.
For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
[10] For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace(Rom.8:6) be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.” Isa.54:1-10

Here we see THAT GOD’S MERCY, THE MERCY THAT BRINGS FORTH SPIRITUAL CHILDREN FROM SPIRITUAL SARAH, IS FOUND IN THE WATERS OF NOAH, THE WATERS OF “REST”, for Noah means= rest.

If we have NOT entered into THAT PLACE OF REST, THE ARK, THAT GOD RESTS IN, i.e., THE BODY OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, HOW THEN CAN WE HAVE THAT SPIRITUAL LAW, OF HIS SPIRITUAL MIND WITHIN US? And if we do not have that Spiritual Law, how can we be children of SARAH?

In Isa.51:1-4, it is written,

“[1] Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.
[2] Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
[3] For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
[4] Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment (Divine Law) to rest for a light of the people.’

Here we see that our Mother SARAH IS THE ZION THAT HAS RECEIVED COMFORT, BECAUSE HER WOMB IS LIKE EDEN, LIKE THE GARDEN OF THE LORD.

Why? Why IS HER WOMB FILLED WITH GLADNESS? BECAUSE, OUT OF HER COME FORTH CHILDREN OF THE LAW OF GOD’S LIGHT!

And what do we say of our Mother? What do THE SPIRITUAL CHILDREN SAY OF OUR MOTHER, WHEN THE CHILDREN OF AGAR COME TO US AND SAY, “GOD HAS FORGOTTEN YOUR MOTHER”?

And what do we say when even THE CHILDREN OF ZION LOSE SIGHT OF THE HOPE WITHIN HER?

We say, behold it is written,

“But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.
Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.” Isa.49:14-16

Here we see THE LOVE OF GOD AT HIS PASSION . For at the passion of the one Lord God, the one Lord God was saying, Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

And again it is written,

“And the Lord said unto me: 'This city shall be delivered up for a time, And the people shall be chastened during a time, And the world will not be given over to oblivion. Dost thou think that this is that city of which I said: "On the palms of My hands have I graven thee"? This building now built in your midst is not that which is revealed with Me, that which was prepared beforehand here from the time when I took counsel to make Paradise, and showed it to Adam before he sinned, but when he transgressed the commandment it was removed from him, as also Paradise. And after these things I showed it to My servant Abraham by night among the portions of the victims. And again also I showed it to Moses on Mount Sinai when I showed to him the likeness of the tabernacle and all its vessels. And now, behold, it is preserved with Me, as also Paradise. Go. therefore, and do as I command thee.” The Apocalypse of Baruch

Let us now come to the HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING OF HIGH FAITH OF ABRAHAM AND SARAH, AND LET US WALK ONLY IN THAT SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE HIGH FAITH OF ABRAHAM AND SARAH, THEREBY SHOWING THE ONE LORD GOD, THAT WE BELIEVE IN THE ONE LAW OF HIS SPIRIT.

AND LET US CAST OUT THE BONDWOMAN AND HER CHILDREN, i.e., LET US CAST OUT THE LAWS OF JERUSALEM BELOW. FOR THAT COVENANT WILL NOT BE HEIR, NOR HER CHILDREN.

FOR THE HERITAGE IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD (Isa.54:17), and we see that the children of wisdom below DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. SO LET US GO FORTH IN ONLY ONE RIGHTEOUSNESS, THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD.

Now someone might say, "But if we cast out THE BONDWOMEN AND HER CHILDREN, if we cast out THE LAWS OF JERUSALEM BELOW, then we must cast out THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, And THAT WOULD NOT BE RIGHT TO DO, FOR OUR LORD SAID THAT WE MUST KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (see Matt. 19:16-19)."

To some of this statement, the scriptures say, you are absolutely right!!! For THE TEN COMMANDMENTS MUST BE RECEIVED AND KEPT!!!.

The apostles themselves tell us that. For it is written,

"Children, obey your parents IN THE LORD: for this is right. HONOUR THY FATHER AND MOTHER; WHICH IS THE FIRST COMMANDMENTS WITH PROMISE; that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth." Eph.6:1-3, Exodus 20:12

Here we see BEYOND A DOUBT, THAT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE TO BE KEPT. For the apostles themselves tell us that.

But we must understand, that those who are of THE BONDWOMAN, THOSE WHO ARE OF JERUSALEM BELOW, "NEVER RECEIVED THE TEN COMMANDMENTS!!!"

For example we just saw that one of the commandments say: HONOUR THY FATHER AND MOTHER.

Now how can those who are of THE MOTHER JERUSALEM BELOW, HONOUR THE MOTHER JERUSALEM ABOVE, WHEN THEY HAVE NOT BEEN BORN OF THE MOTHER JERUSALEM ABOVE?

How can someone HONOUR THEIR MOTHER, WHEN IN TRUTH, IT IS NOT THEIR MOTHER?

How can someone HONOUR A MOTHER WHOM THEY WILL NOT RECEIVE AS A MOTHER?

Let us look closely at THE FIRST OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. For it is written,

"I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of THE LAND OF EGYPT, OUT OF THE HOUSE OF BONDAGE. Thou shalt have no other god's before me." Exodus 20:2-3

Now we know, that Exodus 20:2-3, is in the time of Moses.

BUT LET US LOOK!!! For as we know, ABRAHAM, AND SARAH, AND AGAR, WERE WAY BEFORE THE TIME OF EXODUS 20:2-3.

And what did the apostle Paul tell us that AGAR (THE EGYPTIAN WOMEN) REPRESENTED? "THE BONDWOMAN"!!!

And what did the apostle Paul tell us about her children? THEY WHERE BORN AFTER THE FLESH, AND THEY PERSECUTE THOSE WHO ARE BORN SPIRITUALLY (Gal. 4:29).

Now we know to be BORN AFTER THE FLESH IS TO BE CARNAL. And we know that THE LAW (the ten commandments included because that is the Law to be kept) IS NOT CARNAL, BUT SPIRITUAL!!! For it is written,

"For we know THAT THE LAW IS SPIRITUAL: but I am carnal sold under sin. " Rom.7:14

And we know THAT THE CARNAL CHILDREN CANNOT ENTER THE SPIRITUAL LAW (the ten commandments included because that is the law to be kept). For it is written in Romans 8:5-8,

"For they that are after the flesh (born of the flesh) do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit (born of the Spirit) the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God." Romans 8:5-8

So, when our Holy Lord God was giving them THE TEN COMMANDMENTS in Exodus (which Law is to be kept by the heavenly Spiritual Christians, see Eph.6:1-3), when our Holy Lord God was telling them that He was going to BRING THEM OUT OF THE HOUSE OF BONDAGE, OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, was our Holy Lord God referring TO THE BONDAGE OF AGAR AND HER HOUSE?

YES!!! But how do we know that? Because the Lord said to Moses (before He gave him the ten commandments), that He (the Lord) was going to give them THE COVENANT, THE PROMISE, THAT HE GAVE TO ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB. For it is written in Exodus 6:1-8,

"Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land. And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD: And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers. And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.

Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, (as we know, our Lord is THE ARM, see Isa.53:1. and OUR LORD IS the redemption (see 1 Cor. 1:30), AND THE STRETCHED OUT ARM, IS THE IMMORTAL HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL WORDS OF HIS CROSS see John 6:63) and with great judgments: And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD."

Here we see that our Holy Lord God, WAS going to bring them into THE HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL COVENANT, THE HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL TEN COMMANDMENTS OF OUR MOTHER JERUSALEM ABOVE, SO THAT THEY COULD BE "SPIRITUALLY MINDED", AND BE ABLE TO "LOOK UP WITH THE EYE OF THEIR MINDS" TO HEAVENLY JERUSALEM'S LAWS, LIKE ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB DID (see Hebrews 11:10).

But they lost THIS HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL LIFE GIVING COVENANT, for when they made and worshipped a golden calf's head, after the fashion of Apis, whom they had seen worshipped in Egypt; Moses came down and broke the two tables of stone written by the finger of God. And so they lost THE HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL LIFE GIVING COVENANT, THE LIFE GIVING TEN COMMANDMENTS OF JERUSALEM ABOVE, THE MOTHER OF ALL LIVING.

And so, they were not able to come out of THE HOUSE OF BONDAGE, THE BONDAGE OF BEING CARNALLY MINDED IN THE LAW, WHICH IS DEATH ( Roman 8:6).

But for us who are of that heavenly city of Abraham, that one city of faith, we who are of that heavenly Church, heavenly Jerusalem, our Mother wisdom above (as it is written in Hebrews 12:22), we are so thankful for THE LIFE AND PEACE THAT WE HAVE FOUND ( Romans 8:6). And we are now calling all to come to the HIGH FAITH OF ABRAHAM, by declaring to all:

“I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord. Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together: Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord. For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.” Psalm 122:1-9 AMEN
