Institution of the Lord’s Supper

23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, [a]“Take, eat; this is My body which is [b]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood.

           Good morning beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS. Beloved, do you read the letters my LORD-GOD blesses me to share with you? Do you grow from them? Do you grow in the grace and the knowledge of our Father-GOD, our Savior and LORD-YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, and His Holy Spirit?

           Do you beloved, share them with anyone else? Are you understanding where we are as a country, as it relates to the most Holy Word of GOD? Are you understanding where we are as a race of humans on the earth?

           Beloved, I have hope that my LORD-GOD will raise up someone who will answer His call. Not their call, His call;

Amen. Amen. Amen.

           “21:1 To number Israel: The census of David in this chapter is also recorded in 2 Sam. 24, but there it states that it was because God was angry with Israel (the reason for this is unclear) that He moved David to take the census. The account of the census has been problematic because God does not cause anyone to sin (James 1:13) and because it is not apparent why such a census was wrong (Num. 1:2, 3; 26:2-4). The first problem is clarified by comparing 2 Sam. 24:1 with 1 Chr. 21:1; God did not directly incite David to do something for which He would then turn around and judge him (v. 14); rather, He allowed Satan to influence David to do what David probably already had in his heart to do (James 1:14, 15).

           This is similar to the times when the Lord allowed Satan to trouble Job (Job 1:12; 2:6) or when He permitted an evil spirit to torment Saul (1 Sam. 16:14). This is one of the only three OT references where Satan (literally, “Adversary”) is mentioned by name (see also Job 1; 2; Zech. 3:1). The absence of the definite article (the) before “Satan” in v. 1 indicates that the title, which emphasized his role in inciting rebellion against God, had already become a proper name.

           Although we are not told why the numbering was evil (v. 7), it was perhaps either an indication that David was trusting more in his military strength than in God’s power (see Ps. 20:7) or a violation of God’s instruction to Moses on how to conduct a census (see Ex. 30:11-16). The first would be a sin of motive and the second, a sin of method.”     (NEW SPIRIT FILLED LIFE Bible—Jack W. Hayford, Litt.D.— New King James Version—THOMAS NELSONSince 1798)

New King James Version

“Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Israel, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, every male individually, from twenty years old and above—all who are able to go to war in Israel. You and Aaron shall number them by their armies.

“Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Israel from twenty years old and above, by their fathers’ houses, all who are able to go to war in Israel.” So Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho, saying: Take a census of the people from twenty years old and above, just as the Lord commanded Moses and the children of Israel who came out of the land of Egypt.”
