Article 31 Once Saved Always Saved
ARTICLE 31 BY DAVID L MATTHEWS SR
The verbal covenant was before the Law (prophetic of Romans 10:9,10, “if thou shall make a blood covenant with thy mouth”) Behold the Lamb of God (YHWH) The covenant keeping one. The keeping of that verbal covenant
Ex 6:1 Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land. KJV (then YHWH the covenant keeping God said to Moses)
Verse 2, And God (Elohim) ‘the creator’ spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I AM THE LORD; (I AM YHWH THE GOD OF COVENANT)
Ex 6:3And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. KJV
(but by my name YHWH was I not understood; there are no J’s in the Hebrew) YHWH was not known in covenant relationship.
The same is true of this generation of born again believers.
Being involved in the so called ‘CHRISTIAN HOLIDAYS’, keeps you from being in covenant or adding covenant to your born again life.)
Keep in mind that the following is written to churches (meaning the called out ones
Rev 2:14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
Rev 2:20-23 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. KJV
Balaam, Balac and Jezebel were long dead when John wrote this. All the foods that are eaten because of that holiday were offered to idols.
For example, Ham is eaten at Easter time, as an offering for Tammus, because he was killed by a pig (The word Easter in your bible is Passover). Does any of the warning sound like Once saved always saved? Not so.
Ezekiel 8:7-16 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall. 8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door. 9 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. 10 So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about. 11 And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up. 12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth. 13 He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do. 14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these. 16 And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east. KJV
In verse 11, the seventy men were dressed in black, because of the form of worship. The thick cloud of incense was black smoke. That is why ministers dress in black with a turn around white collar, wanting to impress people of their importance.
The priest of old were dressed in white as they prepare the sacrifices. I can remember when a pastor of our denomination, came to our church to preach, dressed in white suit, the congregation was shocked. Other ministers back in the 60’s began to dress in white suits, the world is used to religion, not to the word of the Lord (YHWH)
Tammuz was the god of Vegetable and animal life, worshipped in Phoenician and Babylonia. Verse 16 of Ezekiel 8 is Easter Sun Rise Service, the congregation will go behind the church. Get on their knees, face the sun as it rises; and sing. ‘as we fall on our knees with our faces to the rising sun, oh Lord have mercy on me’ Baal worship (the sun god)
Then go into the church and sing ‘up from the grave He arose’ Yashua (Jesus) quoted Jonah 1:17
Matt 12:38-41 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. 39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. KJV
(the Hebrew nor the Greek says whale)
John 5:36-43 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. 37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. 38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. 39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. 41 I receive not honour from men. 42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. 43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. KJV
(verse 43, I am come in the Authority of my father’s name) YAH, translated Jah in your bibles; ‘Shua’ the Son, ‘the sinless Spirit of the father.
Matt 1:21-23 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
(…… Thou shalt call His name “HOSHEA”..JESUS, = SAVIOUR, OR SALVATION) Greek ‘SOTERIA’ means ‘rescue or safety, physically or morally, deliverer, preservation, safe self, do well, healing, be made whole”
He by whom the Covenant keeping (YAH) ‘GOD’ will save (sozo) Greek word for save, meaning “To Save, ie Deliver or Protect (lit or fig) Heal, Preserve, Save (self) Do Well, Be (make) Whole
When Yashua (Jesus) said ‘3 days and 3 nights in the Large fish, He meant just what He said, three whole days and three whole nights
On the Hebrew calendar, the night was before the day.
Gen 1:3-5 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. KJV (God-Elohim, the creator)
Gen 1:8-13 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 13 And the evening and the morning were the third day. KJV
Gen 1:19-23 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. 20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. KJV
As I write, this September is the first of year for Israel, the Israelis have an Identity name, (Hebrew) first used in Genesis 14:13.
Gen 14:13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eschol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram. (…. Told Abraham the Hebrew, meaning he who passed over from beyond)
Joshua 24:1-3 And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God. 2 And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods. 3 And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.
He not only passed over the water, but passed from death to life, Abraham gave up offering eggs and rabbits to the goddess of fertility, the Queen of heaven of Jeremiah 7:17-19
Jer 7:17-19 Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? 18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. 19 Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces? KJV
Satan changed Elohim’s (the creators) calendar
Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
The word (deceiver) means to lead astray, deceive, cause to wander. He gave to this generation of born again believers the stumbling block of Revelation 2:14. He wants to make YASHUA (called Jesus) a liar
Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. KJV
Our Savior said, He would be in the grave 3 whole days and 3 whole nights, just as Jonah was in the fish. You can’t get three days and nights from good Friday to (queen of heaven’s) Easter Sunday morning.
Satan lies keeps my brothers and sisters out of a blood covenant with the LORD (YHWH). At a time you need to be able to say as David said in covenant with YHWH,
Ps 91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. KJV
If a thousand fall with COVID-19 on my right side, and die and Ten thousand get sick and some die with COVID-19,…….. NO COVID-19 WILL COME IN MY DWELLING
Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. KJV
Rom 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. KJV
John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. KJV
The prayer of faith will heal any with covid-19…….to be continued
