Peace be Unto You.
i am under the impression that
every event is of the
utmost importance. even..this..discussion.
the blind are indeed blind by and through the Will of the Supreme Authority.
we all serve a greater purpose.
unfortunate is such a biased view, don't you think?
how else would we collectively come to the righteous judgement of that which we are not?
ALL experience is beneficial...would you agree?
thank you.

==========
17 After Yeshua had said these things, he looked up toward heaven and said, “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, so that the Son may glorify you — 2 just as you gave him authority over all mankind, so that he might give eternal life to all those whom you have given him. 3 And eternal life is this: to know you, the one true God, and him whom you sent, Yeshua the Messiah.
Beautiful.
would you care to share your thoughts on these passages?
thank you.

The "kingdom" is also referring to the future "fulfillment" in Rev chapter 22. Yeshua's "kingdom" is not of this world even though the servants of the kingdom have the deposit of the Ruach HaKodesh (" Spirit of Truth ") indwelling them according to the new covenant spoken of in Jer 31:33-34 so that the servants know "YHWH Elohim" and Yeshua the king, whom the Father sent:
hmm indeed, gotta love that new covenant.
all is ordained. ALL.
if it were not His Will, you would not have been able to type this response, let alone click submit. it is Ordained.
the very breath you take as you read this, is Ordained.
when one is in the position to honestly receive and accept "redemption", one will be made to, as it is Ordained.
one must note, this "redemption" we speak of is illusory in nature, hence the new covenant.
we are not to "save" anyone, but simply be at
Peace in the knowing that We are ALL "saved"..
thus, wouldn't you find it misleading to be chanting, "Repent, for the Kingdom of G-d is at Hand!"?
aah whatever..do as you are led.
this is a Solo Mission. One Man Army. One Ranger, One Riot.
and I'm just a Drill Sergeant..
Tour Guide..
Spectator..
the One True Living God just doesn't do favoritism.
We, are All of Us, Ordained Sovereign Beings in spirituality.
Before ( and if ) a transcendent transformation is to occur in this plane of physicality, yes, it must be Ordained by the One True Living God, through the redemption mechanism of Christ, and trial by combat in the Holy Spirit.
would you care to expand on the term, "cohanim"?
thank you.

33 So Pilate went back into the headquarters, called Yeshua and said to him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” 34 Yeshua answered, “Are you asking this on your own, or have other people told you about me?” 35Pilate replied, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and head cohanim have handed you over to me; what have you done?” 36 Yeshua answered, “My kingship does not derive its authority from this world’s order of things. If it did, my men would have fought to keep me from being arrested by the Judeans. But my kingship does not come from here.” 37 “So then,” Pilate said to him, “You are a king, after all.” Yeshua answered, “You say I am a king. The reason I have been born, the reason I have come into the world, is to bear witness to the truth. Every one who belongs to the truth listens to me.”
Just as the order of cohanim beginning with Yeshua is superior to that of the Levites or any other priesthood, everything is also superior: instead of continual sacrifices for sins, the one time propitiation of Yeshua HaMashiach through his blood was not only superior, but covered all the sins of humanity; instead of an anointing with oil, the Ruach HaKodesh is a superior anointing; instead of having a priest that would eventually die, Yeshua is a priest-king that lives for eternity. Yeshua is also the head of the "ecclessia" ( general assembly, often misappropriately translated "church" ), the members of which inherit the "kingdom of G-d". This "superiority" is a major theme in the "book of Hebrews".
Those passages from Genesis point to the Mashiach, Yeshua, for he is not only Jacob's Ladder and the "House of El" ( for the "One True G-d" dwelt inside the Incarnate Memra ~ Human "Logos" ), he is also the chief cornerstone that the builders rejected.
Yeshua is also "YHWH in the flesh" and the Judge of all humanity. He provides the correct halakhah for any Torah ~ "instruction" and the means to follow him in "the Way" is through the power of the Ruach HaKodesh, not only to overcome the world, but to bear witness of Yeshua HaMashiach and preach the "kingdom of G-d", headed by the "King of Kings and Lord of Lords", "Christ Jesus" = Messiah Yeshua.
Shalom!
we are All of us God in the flesh.
although we cannot aspire to be the Judge of Judges, there are apparently a select number, of the 'elect'...
but one must not Judge before the day of Judgement.
thank you.
salvation is one thing.. divine grace and protection is another matter entirely..
although, i must wonder.. what are your thoughts on this notion of "superiority" as you have indeed enclosed the word in quotation?
thank you for being me.
