Seek Grace

 The covenant with hell is sealed by the seeking of the Sinai covenant, through the rebuilding of the temple (as in Hebrews, “there remains no more sacrifice for sins.”).  It is despising of grace and the blood of the new covenant. The time of  the “fullness of the gentiles” is the harvest of wrath and judgement, that comes from the breaking of the law.


He came to us where we are at, according to our understanding, in the weakness of our humanity. He comes there, now, to join the stick of Joseph and Judah, from opposite sides, in His flesh ( the curtain that was torn), the Holy and strong One, the binding together of all His people. His people on both sides understand differently, but He bridges the gaps with the offering of His Body. He has reconciled both camps. “The zeal of the Lord has accomplished this.” This is why Israel claimed both of Jospeh’s sons as his own, because they became part of the inheritance, through Joseph, the foreshadow of messiah, with his gentile bride. 


“Jacob I have loved and Esau have I hated” (the one who shows contempt for his birthright of grace). Isn’t that the actual descendants of Edom? Who are now Muslims?They have no grace at all.


How can I understand and get meaning, without the struggle? But the one who tells me I have to do anything at all to stay saved, is telling Me to go back to my violent and abusive husband, even though, by the dictates of the “Law”, I was married to him. I am married to a new husband, the resurrected One, because the former has died, and my flesh (that same law) has died with Him.
