Ge.8:6-8 "The Raven and the Dove"

Forty days (4x10) concerns with man who is entrusted with the Word of God. In the case of Moses, it was to confirm the covenant as with Abraham before him to bless the nation that had the Law. He was called up the mount on the seventh day "and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights."(Ex.24:16-18) The same everlasting covenant and we have Abraham's faith and Moses was to instruct the nation of Israel to make the word of God to their profit. We see forty days in the case of the risen Christ. The same that covered the glory that "abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud,"is Person specific. What occurred on the mount of transfiguration has the mount as an emblem, and Moses Elias representing the cloud of witnesses. (Matt.17:1-6). The disciples were witness to this glorious body of Christ. Once again as with Moses this occurring before Ascension has to do with the kingdom of God. "being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God" Jesus Christ was equipping them for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. (Ac.1:2-3)

"And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made."(v.6)

The window of the ark represents heart in line of vision with the shadow of the Almighty. (Ps.91:1). Raven is considered 'unclean' and it represent our body of flesh and blood. Being included in the Ark, they are sanctified to serve the Lord God which we see in the story of ravens feeding Prophet Elijah. "And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro." The dove represents the world of the Spirit. "Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;" We have a series of sevens which marks fulness of time. 'The olive leaf pluckt off' refers to' evening' and the end times. v.11

I worded my comment poorly. It should read thus:

To have a fool run the nation and Trump showed his mettle during the pandemic. It is more of a shame that he did not use the four years for solving the problems the nation was facing. If he did not make America great who but a fool will think he who is himself 77+ shall do if he is given another four years? Retribution is what he promised. His Project 25 is an ace up his sleeve. I believe God wants to teach America a lesson not to think more than what God has blessed them with but the politics of lies has blown it all away. "Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?" The problem that the nation began with, still divides the country. Trump only did well for himself by the court-room packing and they are there to give him a crown as well, if they could. Thank God He is in control.

CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST SUNDAY

SCHOOL BOOK JULY 21,2024 1 Corinthians 10:9 -22KJV

My Respond: COGIC WORSHIP-

I worship the True one God Jesus Christ that rules over all , A God who overcomes sin, God of subjection, God of peace to all. A God that is the cup of blessing, God of communion, God of Bread, God that is blood of significance. A God that is the kingdom. A God that is always making a way of escape from temptations of sins.

Yes , you quoted one of my favourite scriptures . All flesh is grass and none of us should think anything of ourselves , the worship of humans and the belief that any human can save this world or a particular country or even their own selves , is idolatry . I have one king and shepherd . Only he can save me and you and any and everyone else . Revelation chapter 22 verse 20 . God bless you .

Jas,

To have a fool run the nation showed his mettle during the pandemic. It is more shame that Trump did not use the four years for solving the problems the nation is facing. If he did not make America great who but a fool will think who is himself 77+ shall do if he is given another four years. Retribution is what he promised. His project 25 is an ace up his sleeve. I believe God wants to teach America a lesson not to think more than what God has blessed them with in so many ways but the politics of lies has blown it all away. "Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?" The problem that the nation began with is still divides the country. Trump only did well for himself by the court-room packing and they are there to given him a crown as well if they could.

Ge.6:18-19 "To keep them alive with thee"

"But with thee will I establish my covenant."(v.18) refers to the everlasting covenant and Noah serves as the double for the man in the Man component. The Spirit gives us two ages before and after the flood. One refers to him after the likeness of his Son and the other after the likeness of the last Adam. As the tabernacle of God shall descend from heaven to the mid-air Noah and 'every living thing of all flesh" representing the stewardship stipulated in Ge.1:28 shall brought into the earth purged of corruption. They have been kept alive in the world of the Spirit, that the volume of the Ark signifies. As with the daughters of Job they have been kept alive all along in presence of God. It is called the land of the living of which the ark of Noah is an emblem.

Of the second age of Noah "And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died." (9:29) he chooses his profession, "And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard./And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent." (9:20-21; 3:23). His life after his fall begins with his physical world and it is set forth in this line, "to till the ground from whence he was taken." His own shame is recalled in Noah who lay uncovered in his tent. In order to distinguish the life before and after, the Spirit sets the Ark as an emblem as there is a slain Lamb before the foundation of the world and the throne of God and of the Lamb.

All these life forms,- marine lives, fowls of the air and beasts of the field are as created of God do not suffer any diminution or loss in the kingdom of God. Hence this commandment of God, "Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee."

Have you considered , that perhaps Donald Trump is being used by God to fulfill His purposes , God knows all of our hearts and minds perfectly and He always chooses the right person for the right job . God has done this throughout history with other world leaders and with lots of ordinary folk too .

All things are as God wills , in the past , in the present and in the future , we are all being judged by His Word , which was in Christ Jesus and is in the Bible , which is where we read and learn of His Word and His will , His will for us as individuals , Christ says if ye love me , keep my commandments , which are : love God and love each other . Revelation chapter 22 verses 10 to 15 .

If you don't mind , I shall pray for the peace of Jerusalem . Thy Kingdom come , Thy will be done , on earth as it is in heaven . Through Christ Jesus our Sinless High Priest in heaven . Amen .

Maybe you don't know much about Donald Trump and the things that he has knowingly done in his life . He isn't a foolish young man who doesn't know any better . He is a highly privileged adult who knows that the Bible exists . If he wants to take the time and effort to get to know God , he himself has had over 70 years to do so . I can't see him repenting in sackcloth and ashes and giving away all his possessions to feed the starving any time soon . If he does , I shall eat my own feet and you can watch me do that . Good luck with your prayers for him .

Hi Roo. This can be confusing to us because in English the gender is applied to the speaker. Can't speak specifically for the Hebrew language, but if similar to some other languages, then the gender applied is not to the speaker but to the object (the thing spoken of/referred to). So you might be a male, but your 'soul' is a feminine word in Hebrew, therefore your soul "shall make HER boast in the LORD" and NOT HIS boast.

In a Hindi & Urdu, languages I'm little more familiar with, they have only two genders, so all nouns are either masculine or feminine (and there is no third (neuter) gender as in English). So, in those languages, if you tell someone, "My name is Roo", the word 'name' is masculine. If a woman says, "My name is Rachel", the word 'name' is still masculine so the sentence remains the same for both genders/speakers. I hope that clears it up a little.

You are welcome Brother Jesse!

Those messages might move on up a few pages after today.

I plan to catch up on them today. I fall behind during the work week. They are very helpful in getting to the direct intent of the passage.

Thanks again Brother.

Hi. I am confused as to the use of the feminine in reference to ones soul in the Psalm. If im a man and the writer was a man why does it say that.

"34 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad"

Thanks.

Ge.6:13 "The end of all flesh"

"And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits." (6:15)

Here we have the volume in terms of cubits. Significant is that it is not given in multiples of 12 which is the Gospel of God as delineated in his humanity. It was to set a believer in heavenly places which shall continue till the end times. He is part of the city in the making to which he walks by faith and not by sight. "And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal."(Re.21:16)

On the other Noah's ark is an emblem for the end of flesh, sons of perdition to be precise. 300 Lx50 B What scale shall we use here? The same we find in the vision of Ezekiel, "a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth. (Ez.40:5) Another example we can cite, in the Book of Daniel. "Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits." This is abomination! The Ark of Noah was a warning to all who made flesh his arm. "Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD."(Je.17:5)

"A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it." (6:16)

The Window on the roof signifies the blessings under the covenant come from above, The three stories tell us the ark is built "after our image" with soul spirit and body.

"And shalt pitch it within and without with pitch." is similar to "and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind." Total Sanctification is insisted upon.

Ge.6:13 "The end of all flesh" (1 of 2)

"And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth."

Everlasting covenant explains God's covenant with Man. "The holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, refers to the tabernacle of God among men. It is the culmination of all spiritual blessings any man may freely avail of,- and by faith he is a saint redeemed for the earth, and be found in the tabernacle. Without Jesus Christ the Word become flesh and without abiding in him no man shall succeed. Noah is the double for Jesus Christ the author and finisher of our faith. "Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he."(6:22) In the covenant Noah fits the above assertion as he is created 'after our likeness' and he did as his Son fulfilled the will of his Father.

The Ark of Noah explains the end of all flesh to which it remains an emblem. We shall examine how it serves us for our spiritual instruction. "Wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water."(1 Pe.3:20) The Spirit sets command number Eight to denote the lower parts, signifying the death of his Son enabled those souls in prison to heart the Gospel.(1 Pe.3:19) Water baptism is to signify the end of my flesh and its demands' and if I am dead from where does come Christian nationalism? Do not be fooled. For without this death no man shall enter the day Seven. "And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made."(Ge.2:3) God sanctified Noah because his faith was same as was in his Son. As all passengers in the ark were safe and secure abiding in Noah God was 'at rest' in a manner of speaking.

"And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits." (6:15)

Brother Spencer,

Thank you for sharing that with Momsage. I just told her to go to page 14, but I'm sure by now, with new posts being added, it has now moved to page 15.

Thanks again, and God Bless!!!

Thanks for the update. It will help me keep you in prayer.

Postnote:

IF I were to go to the place I stayed it is an air band b where I could stay for only about 25 a day but a few days here and there I'd have to stay somewhere else. I did notary and filing at one of the places that split off from my main job but the place where I stayed for full time work from about 2015 until 2021 still was amenable to me returning when I checked about 6 months ago.

I'd have to have help more than once a week in that case which my mom could arrange. The main thing is next week when she has her general physician appt as well as her old chiropractor. If she misses both of these it will be 2 months since she has left the house. She has had some days when her breathing is ok; and I got an exercise gadget which is a pedal for the bottom of her legs she is starting to use. For now the agency would help my dad when they are here for my mom in some capacity although he gets one hour of free care; biggest issue is the basement explaining how to wash clothes.

My biggest concern is my mother being hydrated enough; she has to hold back with meals but she still doesn't drink enough in my opinion. She said warm water helped her to go to the toilet and I ask often if I can get some for her but have to let her make decisions. I can't basically make her go to an institution even though she gave verbal affirmation on the power of attorney which for some odd reason I never signed nor was it read to me years ago. The attorney said I could force a social worker but I should be wary of doing so.

I figure someone in the church I talked to in the last 2 years will find a place for me to live if it exists. Anyway I suppose this is a prayer request since it is public. I am a notary and have one person who uses me exclusively but not often; I am going to try n the next couple weeks to hand more out; and in theory could use anywhere in Pennsylvania. Right now I live in Montgomery County; guess I can be that specific here.

Agape. Rich P

I'll try to be persistent in prayer for you.

My mom sadly didn't find who she thought that works on hiatal hearnias apparently the receptionist lied to try to get her into some program plan the office had the chiropractor himself asked where she heard that he did that. What a dissapoointment.

My mom is self administering what she can going between being very weak and eating what is a more normal amount such as today and finding it hard to breathe. I had to leave town the other week driving all the way to the state of Indiana over 12 hr drive all night and left a note explaining that they need more help. The process to at least get a home health care aide hopefully will work but the boss of the lady from the agency that came seemed to think my mom's policy didn't cover trips to stores just bathing care. The lady is going to check with the insurance company monday i am hoping this guy is off; the private person my mom met who she liked she tried to call again today with no response she supposedly had an emergency a couple weeks ago and never got back to her. Personally I think they both should be in a care facility at this point which this lady can help with too; my mom still has to file a claim if it works with the agency her insurance would cover enough for 5 hrs a week of help indefinitely.

My issue is my mothers unstable moods; crying and complaining then telling me she is stressed because I am stressed. I still have an escape plan where I would be out of town and come back occasionally to help if needed; if something comes up locally I pray it does with the church; either way not living here will cause my mom to be mad. I told her I wouldn't go with a note next time but living here peaceably under these conditions are at times unbearable. I also have my 45 day notice at my current job which means I may be out of work October.

I asked a friend in Pittsburgh if I could stay there on occasion as I could work at one of my former jobs that way.

GiGi,

I am in complete agreement with you in prayer. A very solid AMEN!!!

PRAYER OF TRUMP

PT.2

Oh God, how wonderful is Your love for us sinners. Have mercy on President Trump and show him your will for his life. Draw him close to You and lead him in Your way. We ask that President Trump will come to abandon himself to You and seek You first and foremost for the remainder of his days on this earth. We ask that the Holy Spirit will do a might work in President Trump to transform his mind, will, and actions to be like Christ Jesus. Like Paul, the change was quickly evident because the work you had for him to do was so pressing, vital, and important. May President Trump's character change be evident quickly as the work You have for him to do is also pressing, vital, important, and also, his age makes the need to be transformed all the more necessary.

We do not know your plans for his remaining days. But we trust that You will inform him of the Your calling for him. If it is to be president once again, then let it be so, and empower him to be the best president for our country at this time in history. If it is not to be president, then give him peace in knowing that his life and times are allowed by Your authority and power. Inspire Donald Trump to desire to walk the life path You lay out for him and use him in mighty ways for the good of the U.S,A.

Father, thank you for leading me to bring this prayer forward. I always want to be sure it is Your will, not mine, to do so. Thank You for the working of the Holy Spirit in my heart to be obedient. May President Trump, U.S.A. and believers across our nation be blessed by You, abounding in mercy and grace, which we all need daily, and give us courage to stand in the gap for our families, communities, and nation, to the glory of God forever and ever, amen.

Hello friends,

For the past week I have been praying for President Trump and for the past two days I have felt led to enter a prayer for him on this forum. I don't wish in any way to be political here, but the near miss assassination attempt was a really big deal! We should look at it in sobering terms, I think.

Any who read this prayer and can give their assent to it is good, and I appreciate it if some will do so.

Dear Heavenly Father, our lives are in your hand and care. My Lord and God, Jesus, You are the one we trust in faith. Holy Spirit, you work in ways we cannot detect at times, nor in ways that are deeply changing people. We bring before You, God of all, Donald Trump tonight and we thank You for sparing His life by averting His head to look at the chart at just the exact moment the bullet came by his head. What an amazing miracle that was. Thank You.

Our prayer for President Trump is that he is dramatically changed by this event. We are glad to hear him say that You alone saved him from death that moment. We pray that he will be truly and irrevocably reborn, trusting in You alone for His life and salvation. We ask that You bring to Him conviction of his sinful depravity and repentance as he takes hold of Jesus by faith you supply. We ask that You speak to His heart in the deepest way, even in a similar way that You spoke to Saul of Tarsus and completely changed him in the deepest way, saving him and redirecting his whole life towards the fulfillment of the call you put on his life so many years ago. May President Trump be equally changed and reoriented to fulfill the call you place upon him. We pray that you will bring to President a humble and contrite spirit, an overwhelming sense of gratitude towards You, and a great desire to read Your Holy Word to find out the truth about You and how this truth applies to him, a sinner and one who is so much below who You truly are (as all of us are).

cont. to Pt. 2

Richard, your responses are always welcome.

Many years ago the Holy Spirit stuck John 17:3 deep into me. It speaks of eternal life being knowing God the Father and Jesus the Son. Since that time I have had a burning desire to know as much as I can about Him Scripturally while I live in this life so that I can worship Him in Spirit and in truth. But this verse also speaks of a knowing in the context of intimacy. Knowing God and being Known by God. This is a relational aspect of growing in knowledge of God the Father and Jesus Christ and both the intellectual and relational knowing are wrought in us by the Holy Spirit. I never tire of learning and growing in this respect in my walk with God,

I don't want to have a "small" view of Him that does not esteem His great worth and glory.

I hope your weekend is going well.

How are your parents doing? I have been praying for you and them and the situation facing them in these last years of their life.

I had the ultrasound today but will not know the results until the radiologist examines the scans next week. I was just praying the whole time that the scan would show normalcy in all of the organs the tech scanned: liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, and kidneys. Perhaps it is a good thing after all to have this done, as it gives a baseline moving forward into the rest of my years. Will keep you posted when I hear more.

Don't know why I even bother posting after reading all the detail; complexities and truths in your latest series on transcendence.

Probably a good thing that I abandoned that a to z business on attributes of God. Truth be told I don't really plan for very long at least in written form what is posted here unless there is a rare event where I copy some old study on the subject.

What I usually try to do is try to bring some spiritual concept; particularly what I feel through spiritual discernment has been revealed and try to put verses together to expound on that point. I am focusing on what is going on in the spiritual realm as to my best understanding.

What is lacking obviously in that aspect is the wisdom that those with other giftings have; and of course I am wary of saying anything that can't be clearly backed up scripturally; and not stating something which may be stemming from my emotions.

You probably know me as well or better than anyone on this site. A lot of times the personal struggles I go through are somewhat calmed by the distraction of deep spiritual matters especially related to prophecy which is also the calling I have felt for 40 years. I can say with conviction that it isn't fascination with the subject that I elaborate and dig into the matter; it is the sense of urgency as to the time we're in.

Admittedly I am a very emotional person. I don't enjoy discussing eternal damnation; but understanding the horror of such things like the mark of the beast in all honesty was like insanity; basically leading me at the time to grasp onto the Lord for His mercy. The situation involved a relationship which I had to get away from in college. I never had a vision of hell itself though.

When I feel filled with the Spirit it is usually around others and I can't predict it totally; most of the time I feel so burdened I feel I am barely breathing spritually.

Anyway I thought your post deserved a comment; and just expressing my gratitude.

Ec.3:11 "From the beginning till the end" (2 of 2)

"for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved." Jacob before and after Peniel could testify. The fulness of Christ makes his heart know the difference. Peniel speaks for his spiritual regeneration. However he has no more confidence in his flesh. It is the heart where new Jerusalem is created. The selfsame volume gives him insight into the significance of Mahanaim. (Ge.32:1-2)

What made Moses chose the life of suffering? " By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;/Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;/ Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward." (He.11:24-26)

This respect is what the imposter churches fail to inculcate in their congregation. Instead their spirits are like frogs, so the beast and the false prophet have same mind. "two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Where are these false prophets lead their flock? "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet./For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth."

Ec.3:11 "From the beginning to the end" (1 of 2)

"He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end."

Here we have the reason why God breathed into the nostrils of man and made him a living soul. In Christ the Alpha and Omega the heart is a level playing field. "From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth./He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works." The right to know and understand is universal right and it is the blessing the everlasting covenant enshrines 'in our image and after our likeness."(Ge.1:28) So whosoever refused to enter into the day Seven rejected the seed within itself,- the truth. Calvin's doctrine of 'total depravity' is a heresy. God has set the world of the Spirit in their heart and what does it tell us?

The volume of a believer is arrived at because the fulness of Christs fills all. "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:"(Col.1:20) This is the work of God and it can only make sense to a believer in believing Jesus Christ whom he sent. This faith, or lack of it has been the undoing of imposter churches.

Thus the river of time flows right through heart of man whether he admits or not.

"And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. The cities of refuge on the left bank and on the right bank is as clear as the light is separated from darkness.

"for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved." Jacob before and after Peniel could testify. The fulness of Christ makes his heart know the difference. Peniel speaks for his spiritual regeneration. However he has no more confidence in his flesh.

A grateful moment!!!

All praise to the Father ,

Son and

Holy Spirit.

To all of you on this site and those whose lives you touch day by day.

The Lord is blessing me right now.

He woke me up this morning.

This is another days journey and I'm glad about it. I a so glad to be here.

I will pay my bows. I will call upon the name of the Lord. Psalms 116:12

May you be blessed. Please pray for me as I pray for you. Amen!

Re.21:24 "Zion, New Jerusalem and cities of refuge."

"And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."(21:2).

Zion and New Jerusalem are the two great lights recorded in the covenant. "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night."(Ge.1:16) The lesser light is called the light of the Lamb.

"And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it./And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof./And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it." (vv.21-24).

Nations of them which are saved correspond to the cities God had commanded Moses to set apart for the Israelites and the Gentiles alike. "Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge./These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them." (Nu.35:14-15)

This resonates with the Mixed People Ezra in his time had to contend with. When Ezra is informed of this he was incensed."The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites./For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass"(Ez.9:1-2) They were not like Joshua who is a stand in for Jesus Christ. "but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." The saved on the earth signify the saved nations in Re.21:24.

Re.2:17 "A New name: (2 of 2)

(Ge.32:27-28)

One curious but very vital point to remember is that Jacob wanted to ask God was of his personal name. God refused. Instead God blessed him there. " And he blessed him there./And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved." This knowledge is our inheritance. It begins while in our vile bodies. "the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."Seeing face to face is not for man formed of the dust from the ground can . Jesus speaks of the cloud of witnesses standing in the Presence of God. "Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven."(Matt.18:10)

Inheritors of saints in light abide in Christ. Their volume has as the holy city of God reveals:"And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel."(Re.21:12) These names are new as befitting the name of the city is New Jerusalem

Coming back to Jacob calls the place Peniel, a new name. It is thus New Jerusalem, is indicative of new creation.

Re.2:17 "A New name" (1 of 2)

"To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it."

Jesus Christ in the inaugural vision has many things against the church of Pergamos but he commends them that 'thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith',. So the new name is a personal name which holds true for the day of Regeneration,- and it has significance where we are talking about the new heaven and new earth.

God's gifts and calling are irrevocable. What God framed by his word are worlds that shall never change. But the earth which was without form and void shall made new from the standpoint of man who was predestinated "unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself,". The reason for it very simple. "Therefore if any manbein Christ,he isa new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."(2 Co.5:17).
