Mark of the Beast Vs. Fruits of the Spirit

April 21/2021

1 Life in God’s Garden of Eden

Genesis 2: 8 The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. 9 And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

2 The things that really matter are to love God with all your heart and to love your neighbour as your self. 3 I can see that the scriptures were written in a way that it used imagery as a way to get the message of truth through so that people could see into the spiritual realm those things that can not be seen with the eyes that can only see the physical realm. 4 The things that matter all started back in the Garden of Eden between God and Adam and Eve.

5 In order for Adam and Eve to maintain a love relationship with God, God gave them one rule of law to obey and that was not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge for in the day that they would eat from it they would surely die. 6 In order to fully understand that we must realize that God created mankind in His image and mankind had full access to eat from the Tree of Life, because it was not forbidden to do so until Adam and Eve broke that law and the Tree of Life never was made accessible to mankind until the end of that Age in AD70 when the Heavens were opened up and all things were made new, except for those who were in Christ and had received the baptism in the Holy Spirit.

7 When Adam and Eve rebelled against God and ate from the Tree of Knowledge they became like God but they were not God. 8 They had become a god knowing good and evil but not according to how God see things nor judges things. 9 They became fully independent from God and were able to be like God but in their own ways and with their own knowledge of what good and evil was. 10 Because of that they were also made their own judgments aside from what God’s judgments were. 11 Because of this God later on through Moses gave them the perfect set of laws that could be issued from the Tree of Knowledge. 12 So then that left out the possibility of anything coming from the perfect Tree which was the Tree of Life until the end of the Age in AD70.

13 In the Book of Revelation we can see the contrast between those who had the Mark of the Beast and those who entered into the gates of the New Jerusalem and ate from the Tree of Life. 14 I will begin now to show you how it is that I came to the conclusion that the Mark of the Beast was the laws given and added because of sin which came from Adam and Eve eating from the Tree of Knowledge.

15 In Revelation 13 it says that the Mark of the Beast was either on the hand or forehead of those who received it. 16 John was given the message of the book of Revelation by an angel who signified it. 17 In other words imagery was used so it could not be interrupted as literal therefore was to be taken spiritually. 18 Many people today believe that a computer chip or a vaccine is the Mark of the Beast which simply is not true.

19 God commanded His people Israel in Deut. 6 who He had taken and sanctified or had set them a part from the world to be used as imagery open for the whole world to see, how things of the Spirit would apply to our lives in a similar way. 20 Here is what was written right after God gave them the Ten Commandments.

Deut. 6:4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Who was the Beast and what was The Mark of the Beast..?

21 The Seventh Day Adventist believe that the Catholic Church was the second Beast of Revelation 13 and that the Pope’s name Vicious Flii Dei meaning Vicar of Christ adds up to 666 which it does in Latin. 22 They also believe that the change an of Old Covenant law the Sabbath to Sunday is the Mark of the Beast. 23 The SDA made a mistake when they over looked the end of the Age in AD70 by assuming a Spiritual fulfillment by saying what was local and later will become world-wide and Spiritual therefore avoiding the true fulfillment when the Temple no longer stood. 24 Nero who was the Caesar of Rome at the time of three and a half year of the Great Tribulation when Rome surrounded Jerusalem and the Temple destroyed them had a name that added up to 666 in Hebrew which should tell us that in Hebrew pulls more weight then in Latin. 25 The Ten Commandments along with the laws were to be written on their hands and foreheads which was Israel’s mark of authority with the seventh day Sabbath as a sign. 26 The laws were added because of sin and sin was from the Tree of Knowledge. 27 The Tree of Life have the twelve fruits of the Spirit which is love and fulfill the laws of the Ten Commandments etc. that were imagery from the Tree of Knowledge. 28 The laws of the Old Covenant were the Mark of the Beast and Israel was the clay mixed in with the iron at the toes in Daniel’s vision in Daniel 2:44-45. 29 Jeremiah 18:2 God had He was the potter and Israel was the clay so Israel had to be the second Beast of Revelation 13 because who ever was had to be mixed in with Rome who was the iron. 30 You just can’t separate the two by 2000 years and have it make any sense at all.

Revelation 13:16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,

31 The Ten Commandments was the rule of law from Moses to the end of the Age but they were of the flesh or physical realm that had only foreshadowed the Laws of the Spirit that contrasted the things of the Spirit in the Heavenly realm. 32 Once we understand that we can leave those things of imagery behind and enter into the gates of the Heavenly realm which are spiritual for our faith to believe in.

33 The laws they were to bind on the hand as the texts above describe in Deut. 6: 4-9. The hand represents what they did in action. 34 The laws were to be as frontlets between their eyes and the Tefillin (sometimes called phylacteries) are cubic black leather boxes with leather straps that Orthodox Jewish men wear on their head and their arm during weekday morning prayer. Observant Jews consider wearing tefillin to be a very great mitzvah (command). 35 Eyes after witnessing things make judgments processed in the mind based on what comes from the Tree of Knowledge and the eyes are on the forehead where both hand and forehead is where the Mark of the Beast was. Exodus 13: 9 is the first place in the scriptures that I can find where a sign on your hand and memorial between your eyes before the commandments were given to be written on the hand and forehead according to Deut. 5 which came after the Ten Commandments were written on stone. Apparently there is more to this than what I have previously known.

Exodus 13: 7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days. And no leavened bread shall be seen among you, nor shall leaven be seen among you in all your quarters. 8 And you shall tell your son in that day, saying, ‘This is done because of what the Lord did for me when I came up from Egypt.’ 9 It shall be as a sign to you on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes, that the Lord’s law may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand the Lord has brought you out of Egypt. 10 You shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.

36 The Sabbath was a sign. A sign, seal or mark have similar meanings. 37 The Sabbath was given so that the people of Israel would know that they were sanctified or set apart. 38 What they didn’t know was that they were been used for imagery or foreshadowing things in Christ until the end of the Age in AD70 when their city and Temple were destroyed which ended the keeping of the Old Covenant laws. 39 Without a Temple a lot of their most important laws could not be kept.

Exodus 31:13 “Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you.

40 Here is an example of sign and seal meaning the same thing.

Romans 4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they are uncircumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also.

41 The word mark was used many times to describe a work or action that broke the law of love like when Cain killed his brother and had to leave the presence of the Lord. 42 The word mark was also used for making a judgment upon someone for doing something they did whether right or wrong.

Genesis 4: 14 Surely You have driven me out this day from the face of the ground; I shall be hidden from Your face; I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth, and it will happen that anyone who finds me will kill me.”

15 And the Lord said to him, “Therefore, whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.” And the Lord set a mark on Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him.

16 Then Cain went out from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod on the east of Eden.

Job 10:14 If I sin, then You mark me, And will not acquit me of my iniquity.

Psalm 37:37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace.

Jeremiah 2:22 For though you wash yourself with lye, and use much soap,
Yet your iniquity is marked before Me,” says the Lord God.

Ezekiel 44:5 And the Lord said to me, “Son of man, mark well, see with your eyes and hear with your ears, all that I say to you concerning all the ordinances of the house of the Lord and all its laws. Mark well who may enter the house and all who go out from the sanctuary.

Habakkuk 1:12 Are You not from everlasting, O Lord my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O Lord, You have appointed them for judgment; O Rock, You have marked them for correction.

Jude 1:4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation 13: 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

43 The word mark has other meanings as well as a name of a person but in contrast to the words of a sign or seal which were given by God as authority given concerning His covenant and laws.

44 Aside from Israel being in a covenant with God who gave them laws to obey, people from other nations who were called Gentiles had and still do have similar laws written in their hearts and minds and make similar judgments toward others in order for the societies to have some form of law and order. 45 Therefore the whole world can have some kind and form of what the Mark of the Beast was and that it all boils down to people not eating from the Tree of Life but in a similar way as to be eating from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil.

46 The whole chapter from Matthew 7 is worth reading in order to see the value of having good fruits verses not having the Mark of the Beast or the works of the flesh.

Matthew 7 : 1 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

You Will Know Them by Their Fruits

Matthew 7:15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

The Tree of Life

47 The Tree of Life that is mentioned in Revelation 22:1 is seen first in Ezekiel 47:12 in the Old Testament.

Ezekiel 47: 12 Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds oftrees used for food; their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for medicine.”

Revelation 22: 1And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. 4 They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. 5 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.

48 We can still make judgments according to knowledge that comes from God and not of ourselves but we are not to judge as in condemning someone. 50 No one knows the future whether a person will repent or not except God. 51 Judging others according to the Tree of Knowledge has no place now in the New Heaven and Earth. 52 Judgments come in accordance to knowledge that comes from God other than judging ourselves and the karma or reaping what we sow is the aftermath of what has been done.

Hebrews 9: 27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

Revelation 21:5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”

Matthew 7 : 1 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

You Will Know Them by Their Fruits

Matthew 7:15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

The Fruits of the Flesh

Gal. 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

The Fruits of the Spirit

53 There are two places in the New Testament that mention the Fruits of the Spirit that I see as coming from the Tree of Life. Because the Tree of Life has twelves fruits mentioned but only nine are mentioned in Galatians 5:22 there has to be another three so in 2 Peter 1:5 there are three that are mentioned that are not in Galatians 5:22. They are the last three mentioned here while brotherly love is not mentioned because Galatians 5:22 has Love in it as one of the twelve.

54 Here is the list of the twelve fruits of the Spirit defined that the Tree of Life has.

1. Love

2. Joy

3. Peace

4. Long-suffering

5. Kindness

6. Goodness

7. Faithfulness

8. Gentleness

9. Self-control

10. Virtue

11. Knowledge

12. Godliness

55 The fruit of knowledge is not the kind that comes from the Tree of Knowledge which puffs up. Knowledge as a good fruit seeks out for the truth because God is Spirit and truth. Knowledge as a good fruit is knowledge from God and not of our own which puffs up the ego in mankind. Here you can see how many times Knowledge is connected to other Fruits of the Spirit yet there is also a false Knowledge to beware of.

1 Corinthians 8: 1 Now concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies. 2 And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.

2 Corinthians 6:5 in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings; 6 by purity, by knowledge, by long-suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love, 7 by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

Ephesians 4: 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,

Colossians 1:9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;

1 Timothy 6:19 storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

Guard the Faith

20 O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge – 21 by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith.

2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,

Walking in the Spirit

Galatians 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another! 16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Works of the Flesh

Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Fruits of the Spirit

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Fruitful Growth in the Faith and the Refining Fire

2 Peter 1:5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

Revelation 22: 2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

56 Rev. 22:2 says that each tree yielding its fruit every month so there was a renewing process every month. People need time to grow into Spiritual things and it’s the refining fire that burns up the works of the flesh as we go through life journey.

57 The process of the refining fire can be seen in the Temple’s outer courts with the Brazen Alter which animals were sacrificed by shedding their blood for the sins of the people of Israel. 58 The second place there was a process of the refining fire was within the Holy Place at the alter of Incense where the smoke which rose up representing the prayers of the saints.

59 Jesus fulfilled the sacrifices made in the outer courts and made them obsolete and in the new Age have been not measured according to the imagery in Revelation 11:2 while the rest of the Temple was to be measured as imagery for the New Heaven and Earth. 60 In the new age we live in, prayers to God to forgive us when we sin remain in the imagery of the Alter of Incense and are part of the process of refining fire whereas shedding of blood from the Brazen alter “preaching the Gospel” and water washing “ water baptism” does not. 61 The refining fire is a fulfillment of the Feast of Pentecost and the Gospel which was preached went to the whole world in the first century when they were being saved by the Gospel and water baptism as seen in the imagery of the Outer Courts. 62 In this new age mankind has been in since AD70 we are being saved by the refining fire which is the power of Pentecost and being filled with the Holy Spirit. 63 God is a consuming fire and we are in Him as ministers of flames of fire. 64 The second baptism of fire was after the Great White Thrown Judgment in AD70 that was for the whole world and not something that happened during the old Age but it did end the old Age. 65 It was a result of God being a consuming fire that was unleashed after the Temple no longer stood and He is the same today and forever.

1 Corinthians 3:12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

Psalm 104:4 Who makes His angels spirits, His ministers a flame of fire.

Hebrews 1:7 And of the angels He says: “Who makes His angels spirits And His ministers a flame of fire.”

66 Examples of Going Through Refining Fire

1 Peter 1:7 that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

Romans 12:20 Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

1 Corinthians 1:13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.

Hebrews 3:6 For our God is a consuming fire.

James 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fireby hell.

1 Peter 1:7 That the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

Jude 1:23 but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.

Revelation 2:18 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, ‘These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass:

67 I don’t believe that we should be going around judging people and telling them to repent like they were doing during the old Age and with the peaching of the Gospel. 68 Preaching the gospel came to an end once that full salvation came with the destruction of the city and Temple in AD70. 69 All things were made new and the law of reaping and sowing while going through life’s journey as the process of the refining fire does it’s job we should be letting others go through their journey and process as well. 70 Aside from breaking the laws of the land just let things be and leave things between to them and God go through it’s coarse of reaping and sowing. 71 The only things that carried on into this new Age we are in now are faith, hope and love but in a new setting which leaves everything in the old Age behind except for God. 72 We still need faith to believe in the things we hope for in God and the Spiritual realm of Heaven.

Revelation 22:11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”

Conclusion:

73 The Torah was just the shadow of the reality of the Laws of Christ that Jesus came to fulfill. In Isaiah 42:4 it is clear that the servant in Isaiah 42:1 was Christ:

“Behold! My Servant whom I uphold,
My Elect One in whom My soul delights!
I have put My Spirit upon Him;
He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.

74 There was a waiting for His Law and that the former things would come to pass as mentioned in verse 9

Isaiah 42:4 He will not fail nor be discouraged,
Till He has established justice in the earth;
And the coastlands shall wait for His law.”

Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things have come to pass,
And new things I declare;
Before they spring forth I tell you of them.”

Isaiah 43:18 “Do not remember the former things,
Nor consider the things of old.19 Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.

Revelation 21:4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

Isiah 42:21 is where Christ law that they waited for would exult the law and make it honourable as we see in Mathew 5

75 Exult means to rejoice” or “to be openly happy about.”

Isaiah 42:21 The Lord is well pleased for His righteousness’ sake;
He will exalt the law and make it honourable.

76 In order for the New Covenant to have been established the Old Covenant was made obsolete. 77 In order for the Laws that Christ would exult and make honourable the old laws had to be taken away, as much as they served as a foundation to the New Covenant for magnified laws that go into the heart and mind, rather than just outward appearance of righteousness. 78 The New Commandment to love God and your neighbour as yourself covers many of the things that you would not do listed in the Ten Commandments if you love God and people.

Hebrews 10:9 then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second.

79 The New American Standard Bible say Isaiah 42:21 this way: To make the Law great and glorious. The Youngs Literal Translation says: Jehovah hath delight for the sake of His righteousness, He magnifieth law, and maketh honourable.

80 Just because the New Covenant replaced the Old Covenant does not mean that same principles do not apply rather they are improved on. 81 To go back to the way the Ten Commandments were written would not be an improvement and would leave what goes on in the heart open for evil thoughts in the mind. 82 What a man thinks effects the Spirit and a carnal mind is death and that is why Christ came to give life.

Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. 8So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

Matthew 5:21 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment.

27 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Matthew 17:3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. 4 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!”

83 There is a concern that we will have everyone claiming to be a “Spirit-filled” law keeper in their own eyes and rightly so for those who are anti law altogether and do whatever they want.

John 17:3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

84 To know God is to know His character and His character is revealed in the Fruits of the Spirit which is Love. 85 The Ten Commandments fail to reveal God’s character in a major way. The Ten Commandments reveal things that displease God and many of them are outright evil and reveal what sin is, not who God is. 86 But the Fruits of the Spirit and being led by the Spirit are what revealed the true character of God for God is Love. 87 Is it any wonder why some believe that the Ten Commandments are still needed because of the concern that we will have everyone claiming to be a “Spirit-filled” law keeper in their own eyes. 88 We should not have to be swayed into that realm of thinking because Christ new laws that He established in the first century go way beyond what the Ten Commandments could ever hope for. 89 If anything we have been put to a higher standard then the Ten Commandments, and other laws that reveal with sin is regarding sexual deviations, etc. 90 Some may wonder about the restrictive food laws from the Old Covenant that if were to be enforced today how would that stop people from eating them. 91 Go back to the days of Noah and God did not put those kinds of restriction on Noah, those laws came later through Moses and I assume it was for typologies of what was clean and what was unclean and what we Spiritual eat effects of Spiritual life.

Genesis 9:3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs.

John 6:57 As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. 58This is the bread which came down from heaven—not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”

92 This message in Luke 11 pretty well sums it up when people try to set others up in debating seeking to catch them in something they might say, that they might accuse them of; like they did to Jesus in His days over the laws and keep in mind this was during the Old Covenant days.

Woe to the Pharisees and Lawyers

Luke 11: 37 And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. So He went in and sat down to eat. 38 When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before dinner.

39 Then the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is full of greed and wickedness. 40 Foolish ones! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But rather give alms of such things as you have; then indeed all things are clean to you.

42 “But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass by justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. 43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. 44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like graves which are not seen, and the men who walk over them are not aware of them.”

45 Then one of the lawyers answered and said to Him, “Teacher, by saying these things You reproach us also.”

46 And He said, “Woe to you also, lawyers! For you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. 47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 48 In fact, you bear witness that you approve the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs. 49 Therefore the wisdom of God also said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’ 50 that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, 51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the temple. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.

52 “Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.”

53 And as He said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to assail Him vehemently, and to cross-examine Him about many things, 54 lying in wait for Him, and seeking to catch Him in something He might say, that they might accuse Him.

93 Now concerning the Ten Commandments that many people believe are still valid today in the same way it was back in the old Age of Corruption under the Old Covenant. 94 Jesus came to fulfill the law, not destroy it. 95 The only different I see for the New Covenant was the change from the laws to be written on the hand and forehead to the heart and mind instead.

96 The Feast of Pentecost was the laws that were added because of sin which came through Moses through giving of the Ten Commandments. 97 This is known as the Old Covenant, Covenant of the Law and the Mosaic Covenant. 98 This finalized the Spring Feasts with it’s fulfillment of the infilling of the Holy Spirit where God wrote His Laws into the hearts and minds of His people.

99 I hear people saying that where there is no law there is no sin etc. 100 However if this was the case and the truth we would not have to fear taking God’s name in vain, worshipping idol and bowing down before them within our Christian fellowship together. 101 This would be preposterous or extremely silly to think people could get away with this or not have to fear God in any way. 102 Jesus came to fulfill the law and within the Ten Commandments He magnified them and nailed it to what is in the heart and mind. 103 If we really love God it would go beyond a obedience of not breaking those commandment but to love Him with all of our hearts and minds. 104 I believe what separates the Mark of the Beast from the Seal of the Holy Spirit is the New Covenant right here with the forgiveness of sins and lawless deeds:

Hebrews 10:15 But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,

16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” 17 then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
