The everlasting Covenant and everlasting gospel are hinged on a single point: fear of God. The Lamb slain before the foundation of the world takes the world framed by the word out of the ambit of the natural world. So the Spirit sets those who are called out of the sequence of earth time on the basis of their works. There is no tricks or miracle here. They are in the Will of God that does not change but all judgment rests with the Lamb of God who perfect sacrifice on the cross sets works of all those who are called to match with that of Jesus Christ. His death and resurrection validates quality under the works match with that the Son. "Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;/And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him."(Heb.5.8-9) We examined the case of the nation. The mount Sinai quaking had nothing to do the covenant they made with God there. Their road to perdition was already mapped out by their heart that was not right before God. In that quaking however remained a warning. Another example we have in the slaughter of the firstborn throughout the land of Egypt. " And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle."(Exod.12.29) God had in the emblem of his Son already set the judgment and it was in the manner the world treated his Son. John and James saw in the rejection of the Samaritan how to avenge their insult "They said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? He rebuked them because their spirit was not working with his master and his hour of judgment."( Jn 9.51-56)The world framed by the Word of God works outside sequence of earth time. Abiding in Christ requires total commitment. Whole or nothing.
Hi again Just want to remind you in all the time we don't have, that your reference to scriptures here has rules on how they should glow red. So that we can see scriptures without looking them up. You ref. to John:51-56 it is not in the King James, at least not in mine. When you mention the time when Jesus rebuked his disciples because they did not know what spirit they were of. So it says in Luke 9:54. Thank you for your attention. And may the Lord Jesus give us light as the day is.
ps. it's easier to read you now, thanks. Exodus 12:29-30
