The Daily Word of Righteousness

God Always Sends Two Witnesses, continued

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: (Hebrews 8:10)

The prohibition against eating shellfish is part of the Law of Moses but is not carried forward into the new covenant regardless of what issues of health may or may not be involved—category three. I love crabmeat but I have to be careful what I eat these days!

Moses and Aaron began the Day of the Law. Never before had such a divinely inspired moral code been given to mankind. The issuing of the Ten Commandments marks one of the greatest milestones in human history. This is the Torah of the Jews. The Ark of the Covenant means the Ark containing the Covenant, the Ten Commandments.

The Law of Moses was given to the Jews (and to all mankind as well) making the whole world a prisoner of sin. The Law of Moses served as the ancient slave who conducted children to school. So it is that the Law of Moses brings us to the greatest Schoolmaster, Christ.

Jesus Christ kept perfectly every aspect of the Law of Moses so He might be free to assign the righteousness of the Law to whomever He chooses.

Christ is the very embodiment of the eternal moral law of God, the law that is written in the heart of the Christian.

The awesome error of Evangelical thinking is that the Christian is not under any law. While the Christian is not under the Law of Moses he or she is most assuredly under the commandments issued by Christ and His Apostles. These commandments hold us steady while Christ, the eternal moral law of God, is being formed in us. As soon as Christ has been formed in us we will keep the eternal moral law by nature.

But if we do not keep the commandments of Christ and His Apostles, supposing that "grace" has rendered these commandments incompetent, immaterial, and irrelevant, Christ will not be formed in us. We will be judged at the Judgment Seat of Christ according to our actions in the world and will receive the fruit of those actions. Make no mistake. The Apostle states we shall reap what we sow. There is a day of reckoning coming for all of us.

In the day of resurrection we shall be clothed with the fruit of a godly, righteous, obedient life or with the fruit of an ungodly, unrighteous, disobedient life. There is no truth more in need of propagation in the United States in the present hour. We have been deceived for many years!

So we can call the third eternal day the Day of the Law without any problem.

Now we have three days operating simultaneously: the day of form, the day of the Church, and the day of the law. What's next?

The Day of Light, of Revelation.

Who are the two witnesses? The Father and Jesus Christ.

It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. (John 8:17,18)

I'm getting excited by this time as I'm driving along. I'm safely past Lake Hodges by now.

Yeah! That's right! The Father and Jesus were seen as one Man but two Men were working. Far out!

To be continued.
