And Thou Shalt Know That I Am The LORD; Thy Saviour And Thy Redeemer, The Mighty One of Jacob - Part 1820

"Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is His Name: He shall thoroughly plead their cause, that He may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon." (Jeremiah 50:34)

Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and His redeemer the LORD of hosts; "I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God." (Isaiah 44:6; Revelation 22:13; Revelation 1:8; Revelation 21:6; Revelation 19:16; Revelation 17:14)

O, Lord, how we sorely need a disquieting of the inhabitants of Babylon, so that once again our land can be restored to its fullness, and healed from the false religious teachings in the land, that are intended to lead men and women astray. Lord, how we need to enter into the rest that you have promised for Your people, the latter rain, the rest which surpasses all human understanding. And Lord, fill us with your knowledge and wisdom so that we can once again proclaim to one and all that the same Lord God who created us in the very beginning willingly became our blessed Redeemer. 

"After the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared ..." (Titus 3:4-7)

Our Lord God and Saviour willingly became the perfect sacrifice on that cross so that none would perish. God manifest in the flesh. (I Timothy 3:16)

"All the fullness of the Godhead dwelt bodily in Him ..." (Colossians 2:9) 

And that You Lord, are still King of kings and Lord of lords, Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the ending. (Revelation 1:8) 

Right now, as the scriptures state about these last days, even all of creation is groaning because the people whom you loved enough to shed Your holy blood on the cross, have not turned to You in their hearts ... so that You Lord God can heal our land. The Lord told us through the prophet Hosea, "My people perish for lack of knowledge." But it does not have to be this way. How do we know?

For the Lord said, "And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, My great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the Name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and My people shall never be ashamed." (Joel 2:25-26)

But in order for the Lord to turn man's heathenism and treachery against the Lord around, we the people need to stop drinking the wine of the wrath of her fornication -- the kings of the earth who have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth that are waxed through the abundance of her delicacies.

Instead, we need to begin heeding the voice of the Lord from heaven who is pleading with us, saying, "Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities .... how much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her for she saith in her heart, "I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow."(Revelation 18:3-7; Revelation 14:8, 10; Isaiah 47:15; Isaiah 48:20; Revelation 16:19; Genesis 18:20; Psalms 137:8; Ezekiel 28:2-8; Isaiah 47:7-8)

Jesus said, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me ..." (John 10:27)

Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live." (John 5:25)

And Jesus said this, not as the systems of this world will tell you, as a second person of a triune/triad/trinity g/God, but as the One and Only Shepherd who loved us (His sheep) so much that He became the perfect sacrifice -- the Lamb of God slain before all the world. 

"To day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation." (Hebrews 3:17-11, 15; Acts 1:16; Psalm 95:7-11)

For there is a promise that the Lord God Almighty has given to them who hear His voice -- the Holy Ghost having spoken afore by the mouth of David. That is, the Holy Ghost this signifying that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing, which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience ..." (Hebrews 9:8-9; John 14:6; Hebrews 7:19)

But now, in this current dispensation of grace, we have Jesus who will save His people from their sins. (Matthew 1:21-23) 

"For then must He often have suffered since the foundation of the world; but now once in the end of the world hath He appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this life the judgment, so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation." (Hebrews 10:26-28)

Yes, only One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism. One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and now in you all -- who worship Him as God our Saviour. Jesus is His Name. And we need to understand and have the knowledge of the Son of God first, believing on Him -- the Word -- because the truth is in Jesus. (Ephesians 4:21) We are sanctified by His Word that is truth. (John 17:17)

Therefore, grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby we are sealed unto the day of redemption. Rather, learn of Christ, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, putting on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. For He is our all in all. And when we say we are followers of God, having repented of our sin, and gone on to be water baptized in the precious Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we are filled with His Spirit -- the Holy Ghost in our hearts. (Acts 2:36-38; Romans 6:3-4; Galatians 3:27; I Corinthians 15:29; Colossians 2:12; I Corinthians 6:14)

And, as a consequence, we learn to walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour. (Ephesians 5:1-2; Luke 6:36; I Peter 1:14-16; I Thessalonians 4:9; Galatians 1:4; II Corinthians 2:14-15)

And let the following scriptures resonate in your heart. Meditate upon these life giving words in your heart. Worship the Lord God Almighty with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and know beyond a shadow of a doubt, that in this day and age, in which we live, His Name is JESUS.

And when we are buried with Him by baptism into death; the like [just] as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we should walk in newness of life. (Romans 6:4) Stand in the offering plate. 

"Doubtless Thou art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: Thou, O LORD, art our Father, our Redeemer; Thy Name is from everlasting." (Isaiah 63:16)

"For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is His Name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall He be called." (Isaiah 54:5)

Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; "I am the LORD thy God which teaches thee to profit, which leads thee by the way that thou shouldest go." (Isaiah 48:17)

Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and His Holy One, to Him whom man despises, to Him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and He shall choose thee." (Isaiah 49:7)

Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and He that formed thee from the womb, "I am the LORD that makes all things; that stretches forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself ..." (Isaiah 44:24)
