Bible Study-5 (Crisscrossing New & Old Test)

As we work our way back and forth through the Holy Scripture, with the first being the Old Testament and the Four Gospels. I think that we should first stop off at the Holy Throne of God, which we might show our respect before and unto our Godhead. There are also find many people that think that we can do a lots of crisscrossing over, when it come to God’s Paradise and God’s Kingdom which is in Heaven for they believe that these are two different places. For many believe that when the saints die today they first go to God’s Paradise, here they wait for the Rapture before going into God’s Kingdom which is in Heaven.
With us all knowing that there is only this one Tree of Life mention in the Bible, and with this same Tree of Life being mention in God's Paradise and also in God's Throne, which is in Heaven – these two can then only be one places. This is as we find in the Book of Revelation: 2:7-“He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.”
Then we find in another place of Revelation: 22:1-“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,”
22:2-“In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruit, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”

We know and find that the New Testament is now being taught through out most all of our many churches, this is along with they’re many earthly hopes and glory. This is as men now turn to they’re own earthly treasures, with the hope of what they might receive here on earth.
This is as many of our churches are now only dancing to the music of they’re own many denominations, that they might only find specification here on earth. This is as they find themselves meditating of how they can overcome here on the earth that is around them, only that they might overcome earthly things.

We should set our hopes only on the Holy Throne of God, being the God of all creation, the Father of all our hopes. Then we also find Jesus Christ our one and only Savior who washed us from all our sins, for here we find our Lord and Savior setting on his Holy Throne on the right hand of God’s White Throne of judgment. Then we find the Holy Spirit through out this great kingdom of our Godhead of one, which has been justified by the justification only of one.
When we are praying unto the Godhead, we should pray only from our hearts, for our God he is only looking within our hearts and seeing what it is made of. Then we find Paul telling us how we should pray before man and also within our churches, as we find in the book of First Corinthians. 14:12-“Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.”

14:13-“Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.”
14:14-“For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.”
14:15-“What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.”

14:16-“Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?”
14:17-“For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
14:18-“I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:”
14:19-“Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.”

We should all remember the price that Christ had to pay for our Salvation; this is when we go to him in our prayers. Also knowing that Christ came unto his own and they receive him not, and we find that it was even one of Christ’s own disciples that decieved him and within his own Synagogue, going to the Book of St. Matthew.
26:14-“And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.”
26:15-“And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.”
26:16-“And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.”

26:47-“And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.”
26:48-“Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.”
26:49-“And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.”

To tell the story of Christ’s Crucifixion, the prophecy and the fulfillment both we have to do a lot of crossing over. We cannot tell the full story with out the Old and the New Testament both, being the whole story of God word starting with the Book of Psalms. 22:14-“I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.”
22:17-“I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.”
22:18-“They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.”

We find in the Book of St. Matthew 27:27-“Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.”
27:28-“And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.”
27:29-“And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!”
27:30-“And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.”

27:31-“And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.”


We also find that our Messiah shall be raised from the dead, the same as we find in the Book of Isaiah.53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed”.
53:6-“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”
53:7-“He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.”
53:8-“He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? For he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.”
53:9-“And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth”.

And we find this fulfillment in the Book of St. Luke 24:50-“And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.”
24:51-“And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.”
24:52-“And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:”
24:53-“And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.”

God Bless You
