A long time friend that I've mentioned here many times wanted me to pass along some faith building info to everyone. I've been helping him and him me the past few days and we've agreed to have each other's backs the next few weeks as we reapair old a d build nrw stuff on our own properties. (It's weird how two people can not talk or see each other as much but our lives work out in the same directions.)
He's had some injuries come back to bother him and new ones crop up the last 6M, and really needed help and motivation to get going through the pain. We both did. Anyway, he's written a book (maybe more than one) and is itchin to finish another about Jesus and the prophecies he fulfilled, because "So many don't understand the scope of what he did here and will do when he returns."
Copied and pasted-
"Grace/mercy was given to us in Jesus before the beginning of time," and it was "revealed to us" 2k years ago.
What most know (through the spirit) but probably don't realize is that the entire scripture has been "revealed" over time rather than "created" or "inspired" at the time it was given. Think about that for a second and test it. We know that without the Son's willingness BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF TIME to redeem a people for the Father, creation itself would not have been made possible.
"So what?" some may say, but the implications are HUGE.
This means that every commandment, every act of salvation and faithful response (in advance of knowing how salvation might occur, mind you) was known by the Father and Son. Everything was set in place, planned, so that those seeking Him would be able to find Him.
The sabbath, all of the festivals given through Moses, all of the commandments, all of the foreshadowing of the people in Jesus' ancestral line, and all of the times God reached out and saved everyone from Nineveh to Egypt and beyond- were planned in advance. They were only REVEALED at their proper time. They all point to the work of His Son.
Jesus showed the true meaning and origin, even the corrected keeping of Passover, Unleavened Bread, Weeks (Pentecost), Day of Atonements, and Tabernacles. He came at Tabernacles (the original festival of lights and dedication of the temple), because he is the light of the world and the temple symbolizes him, not the other way around. He covered us with his blood and took away our sins (symbolism of Atonements and Unleavened Bread) and cast them far from us at Passover, and gave us the gift of the indwelling of the spirit at the Feast of Weeks (because he is the bread of life and the Word of God given on that day as well).
He is THE REASON for all of those "seasons." They are not Jewish, but appointments from God and with God for the world to share in here and are promises for the world to come. They were supposed to be WITNESSED BY and shared WITH GENTILES seeking God, but instead were hidden not just from gentiles but from Israel itself by those who rejected the Father.
The Day of Judgment (renamed Rosh Hashanah and changed) is coming, along with the final portions of the Day of Atonements (a day if accountabilty/reckoning of accounts). Jesus will fulfill those, too, before the final, joyful fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles when Father and Son will dwell with us forever. It is critical that we remember His and His Son's work on these days, for it is a commandment Jesus kept to perfection. For at these times He draws near and allows us to draw nearer than any other time of year.
May God bless all who seek Him and through repentance His Son. May they find the forgiveness promised, earned, and delivered to all who pick up their staff and replace it with that of the Son. May we all rejoice together in the world to come as brothers, sisters, and children of God!"
I hope this blesses you and humbles you as it did me when he shared it with me.
