“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”
Zechariah 13: 1 “In that day a fountain shall be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen
Hallelujah
If the bride, the church breaks the law of God the judgement that occurs and the redemption from it – explanation with a pattern
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated regarding the peace offering and how we should offer it and how God is accepting the peace offering as food, an offering made by fire and in this manner those who give to the Lord, what we have to give to the Lord will receive peace.
But today the spiritual life that we are going to meditate upon is God is telling Moses Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘If a person sins unintentionally against any of the commandments of the Lord in anything which ought not to be done, and does any of them, mainly if the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, then let him offer to the Lord for his sin which he has sinned a young bull without blemish it is written that he should bring it to the presence of the Lord. That is, the anointed priest should not break God’s commandment unintentionally and sin bringing guilt on the people. If he sins in this manner, he should bring to God a young bull without blemish to the presence of the Lord and this is shown to us in the Old Testament as a pattern.
That young bull is a pattern of Christ. That is, bull means the bull of the lips; He is God. God means word. That word is as spirit and as life. That word is the Son, who is Christ. He is the young bull. He is the one ploughing the land. That land is each one of us. The first land that God bought is Christ. This land was first ploughed and was changed into a land that was suitable for sowing. Psalms 129: 1 – 5 “Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth,” Let Israel now say—
“Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth; yet they have not prevailed against me.
The plowers plowed on my back; They made their furrows long.”
The Lord is righteous; he has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked.
Let all those who hate Zion be put to shame and turned back.
Also, in Proverbs 14: 3, 4 In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride, but the lips of the wise will preserve them.
Where no oxen are, the trough is clean; but much increase comes by the strength of an ox.
When we meditate upon these verses the lips of the wise will preserve them. When we say wise, they are those who are revived by the spirit of Christ. In their lips always grace will be flowing. They will offer the sacrifices of lips (bulls) to God. That is, he is to be praised. The servants of God who offered sacrifice of praise to God and received anointing because they did sin which brought guilt upon the people they must confess their sin for one seven times and receive forgiveness and submit themselves to God and if they safeguard themselves such that they do not sin again and do not break God’s commandments it will be good for all.
But in Leviticus 4: 3 – 12 if the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, then let him offer to the Lord for his sin which he has sinned a young bull without blemish as a sin offering.
He shall bring the bull to the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the Lord, lay his hand on the bull’s head, and kill the bull before the Lord.
Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull’s blood and bring it to the tabernacle of meeting.
The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the Lord, in front of the veil of the sanctuary.
And the priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of meeting; and he shall pour the remaining blood of the bull at the base of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
He shall take from it all the fat of the bull as the sin offering. The fat that covers the entrails and all the fat which is on the entrails,
the two kidneys and the fat that is on them by the flanks, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver above the kidneys, he shall remove,
as it was taken from the bull of the sacrifice of the peace offering; and the priest shall burn them on the altar of the burnt offering.
But the bull’s hide and all its flesh, with its head and legs, its entrails and offal—
the whole bull he shall carry outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire; where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned.
When we meditate upon these verses, many servants of God knowingly or unknowingly are walking breaking the commandments of God. Those who do not know God’s commandments, which is the truth completely, till they know it Luke 24: 45 – 49 And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.
Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,
and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
And you are witnesses of these things.
Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”
In this manner, our Lord Jesus Christ is telling this. He opened the minds of his disciples and he is saying that tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high. But many servants of God will lead the people in the way according to which their mind goes.
My dear people, those who are meditating upon this if anyone of you are like this now itself let us fall in the presence of God for submit ourselves for one seven times. Also, let us submit ourselves to change the times that we left the presence of God and all the times that we walked outside in everything against God’s will. God is watching all the paths that we are walking on.
Regarding the servants of God, God is telling in Zechariah 11: 1 – 12 Open your doors, O Lebanon, that fire may devour your cedars.
Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen because the mighty trees are ruined. Wail, O oaks of Bashan, for the thick forest has come down.
There is the sound of wailing shepherds! For their glory is in ruins. There is the sound of roaring lions! For the pride of the Jordan is in ruins.
Thus says the Lord my God, “Feed the flock for slaughter,
whose owners slaughter them and feel no guilt; those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the Lord, for I am rich’; and their shepherds do not pity them.
For I will no longer pity the inhabitants of the land,” says the Lord. “But indeed, I will give everyone into his neighbour’s hand and into the hand of his king. They shall attack the land, and I will not deliver them from their hand.”
So I fed the flock for slaughter, in particular the poor of the flock. I took for myself two staffs: the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bonds; and I fed the flock.
I dismissed the three shepherds in one month. My soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
Then I said, “I will not feed you. Let what is dying die, and what is perishing perish. Let those that are left eat each other’s flesh.”
And I took my staff, Beauty, and cut it in two, that I might break the covenant which I had made with all the peoples.
So it was broken on that day. Thus the poor of the flock, who were watching me, knew that it was the word of the Lord.
Then I said to them, “If it is agreeable to you, give me my wages; and if not, refrain.” So they weighed out for my wages thirty pieces of silver.
In the words that God told the prophet Zechariah those who waited for the Lord knew that these were the words of God. After that, to save these kinds of shepherds he is preparing one shepherd. That is why Zechariah 11: 13 – 17 And the Lord said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—that princely price they set on me. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the Lord for the potter.
Then I cut in two my other staff, Bonds, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
And the Lord said to me, “Next, take for yourself the implements of a foolish shepherd.
For indeed I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will not care for those who are cut off, nor seek the young, nor heal those that are broken, nor feed those that still stand. But he will eat the flesh of the fat and tear their hooves in pieces.
“Woe to the worthless shepherd, who leaves the flock! A sword shall be against his arm and against his right eye; His arm shall completely wither, and his right eye shall be totally blinded.”
When we meditate upon this, the shepherd who is made to rise up here is our Lord Jesus Christ. That is why he is telling I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. Using him, God is giving his judgement to those who are not truthful. My dear people who are reading this, let us search, analyse and submit ourselves now.
Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly
