God does Two Things to Show Mercy to the Faithfu1:
1. God blesses us with the "Hearing of his Word" if he is pleased with our Trial of Faith (victory over dead work and dead flesh, that contradicts the Gospel's Written Word in our Hearts).
2. God blesses our work to supplicate the "Hearing of his Word", if he is pleased with the reproofs our testimony provides for the gospel's program/message of salvation (memorial of the saints that is a picture of the Body of Jesus/or/precepts of the gospel as the mechanism in abstaining from ungodliness in manner and deed).
God did not largely exercise the "Blessing of Work as Supplication for the Hearing of his Word", until the New Testament (that is when the Gentiles came into view with God) ............. God did not Bless the Taking of Wives (Falling Short of the Gospel's Message) until he cut off the Hearing of his Word in the Churches, that is a New Testament Transition of the Second Commandment ............. Lets Go Backwards a Moment:
(History of God's Limitation of Blessing Work)
Abraham to David - 1Peter3:5-7/Romans 4:3, for some length of time God only viewed the work of the Sons of Man as the "Work that God would bless to supplicate the Hearing of his Word", that is to say God poured out his spirit to show his mercy even if the Hearing of his Word was not present for his purposes of revealing the completion of the gospel's program/salvation program.
David to Babylon - 2Samuel1:17-18/2Samuel20:11-12/Acts1:16-19, God never blessed the Work of any beyond the Sons of Man until the time of King David, than God began to bless the Work of the Nations, with diversity to try their measure of faith, God was giving his written Gospel and as a reproof God used the Sons of Man, but God also began to Bless the Work of the Nations with diversity ............
(Saul claimed that Samuel told him he was the "Head of the Tribes", but God did not divide the title of Head of the Priesthood from Head of the Tribes, until the New Testament with Jesus, this was only an observance in God blessing the work outside the Sons of Man, exclusively).
Babylon to Christ - Zechariah7:8-12/John16:7-11, God allowed the Babylonians to take the Church out of Jerusalem into bondage temporarily before they were allowed to return to Jerusalem to illustrate that he was going to pour out his Wrath into the Church as the completion of the New Testament.............Now with Jesus Christ, we are convicted of sin for not receiving his Body through the Hearing of the Word in the New Testament, that completes the Old Testament. That is to accept the chastisement of the Gospel's Message until Jesus provides us with a New Heart to complete our Hearing of the Word..................At the same time this is true, God cuts off the Hearing of the Word in the Churches to Bless their Work, the same way God has been blessing the Work of the Nations for some time beforehand. This is the enmity, between the Elect/Believers and the Church that has also existed with the Nations, because God does not use the "Hearing of his Word" to bring his blessings, God uses their Word in observance of the Precepts of the Gospel to bless their Work.
(The Elect/Believer we are commanded to have one wife and that is the Lord Jesus, in the chastisement of our Heart with his Word, and in the chastisement of our person in all manner of holy conversation and deed ....... dividing ourselves spiritually from any manner of intercession in receiving the gospel's message through any person or entity ....... using the impersonal nature of the written word, and due processes of the law to complete our Marriage to Jesus and to eschew God's Mercy as a reproof.......................The Church on the other Hand is to Hold itself in High Esteem Among Men because it is unequally yolked with Jesus in Marriage, and the Church is to teach peace and safety and goodwill towards men eschewing the precepts of the Gospel's Message as a reproof in Godliness for all manner of conversation and deed)
God Declares the End of the Division with the Second Commandment, the end of Enmity between Jesus and the Church with the rising of the Lord's Body (Love Your Person as the Marriage to Jesus, rather than Love your Person as Communion with the Church)
LUKE 11:1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
LUKE 11:2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
LUKE 11:3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
LUKE 11:4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
EXODUS 20:11 For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them [is], and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day,
and hallowed it.
God talks about resting from his Work in Heaven, in order to Bless the Work of Creation.............so you can see how this plays on the New Testament Transition of the Second Commandment..............the Church in Jesus's Day was well aware of the spiritual division that Jesus was bringing and they were well aware of how long it would last. It would last until Jesus removes his Body from the Tomb,
NO WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT JESUS COMING OUT OF THE TOMB AS RECORDED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, instead
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT JESUS REVEALING THE SIGN OF DIVORCE, HIS RISEN BODY TO DECLARE THE EVENTS OF REVELATION.
(for this reasons, there are a few churches that believe that Jesus gave them a legal right to not observe one or two of the ten commandments to proclaim his return, however, in the New Testament God does not view ten commandments, God only view Two Commandments...Love Jesus with all your Heart, Love your Person as the Marriage to Jesus).
(God does not use the Sons of Man to give a Written Law for the Gospel, Joseph only states the positions the gospel already holds..........inces*/rap*/murde* that the cursed races, Genetic Dan, promotes with the Antichrist, this is only a snare designed to divide your walk of faith, so they can use suicide. Beginning with the New Testament and nearing its completion, as the expression of Joseph the Blessing increases (necessitating the transitions of the Hearing of his Word the Gospel Recounts), Genetic Dan will promote its suicide much more, and also those in sin. When God reveals the Lord's Body, then God will chastise the Nations spiritually the same way the Churches were chastised in the Old Testament. The difference is that God never Chastised the Nations spiritually, so they will be convicted of sin and this help's God discern his mercy, and that includes the complete extermination of the races of Genetic Dan and much more, as we wait to see how God illustrates his reproof when he reveals his body in the City of Philadelphia)
Jesus gives us a parable about a Prodigal Son in Luke 15:11-32. Love and Blessings (God reveals the Lord's Body/Sign of Divorce, then God postpones the Events of Revelation, so that (the Two Witnesses) we can go on a journey and God can show his mercy to reprove the nations that the completion of the Gospel Affords. You will tolerate Genetic Dan's Suicidal Rampages until we return from our Expedition, and then you will kill them all, that is to offer them up to solicit God's Mercy in shows his Sign of Divorce for many more peoples and nations ......... that is how God will discern his mercy for the Events of Revelations, and many will fall short illustrating God's conviction, of giving no Sign of Divorce to many peoples and nations)
