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. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

           Good morning beloved; who have been saved by grace (GOD’S gift to the world—His only begotten Son-YESHUA CHRIST JESUS) through faith (in the precious Blood, death, burial, and resurrection [on the third day, according to Scripture] of our Messiah-YESHUA CHRIST JESUS-by His Holy Spirit; for the forgiveness of our sin of self-righteousness.) Amen.

           Good morning beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS. Should you be one of those who read yesterday’s letter, as well as my commentary after yesterday’s Scripture chapter, from the Most Holy Word of GOD—Revelation 7; and, particularly, if you are one who consistently reads the letters my/our LORD blesses me with sharing, then you know that today, in following the pattern my/our LORD has set for me, since blessing me with this ministry of posting one chapter-a-day, that I would post the next chapter, (chapter 8) beginning in Genesis.

           However, because of the magnanimous revelation in chapter 7, including my commentary, pointing to The Lamb of GOD, and not man; I will break from my normal pattern and today, post chapter 7 of Revelation again, this time however, in the Amplified Bible Translation; that we receive all the sweet nectar I believe our LORD-GOD has for us to receive. Amen.

           That beloved, we continue to grow in the grace (first) then, in the knowledge of our Savior and LORD-YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, through the awesome power of His Holy Spirit, by the perfect-Holy-heavenly-will of our GOD and Abba-Father; for His honor, praise, and glory, as well as for our good. Amen. Amen. Amen.

           “Revelation 7

Amplified Bible

An Interlude

After this I saw four angels stationed at the four corners of the earth, holding back the [a]four winds of the earth so that no wind would blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree. Then I saw another angel coming up from the rising of the sun, holding the seal of the living God; and with a loud voice he called out to the four angels to whom it was granted [to have authority and power] to harm the earth and the sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth nor the sea nor the trees until we [b]seal (mark) the bond-servants of our God on their foreheads.”

The 144,000

And I heard how many were sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand; [twelve thousand] sealed from [c]every tribe of the sons of Israel:


Twelve thousand were sealed from the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand from the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand from the tribe of Gad,

twelve thousand from the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand from the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand from the tribe of Manasseh,

twelve thousand from the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand from the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand from the tribe of Issachar,

twelve thousand from the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand from the tribe of Joseph, and twelve thousand from the tribe of Benjamin were sealed (marked, redeemed, protected).

A Multitude from the Tribulation

After these things I looked, and this is what I saw: a vast multitude which no one could count, [gathered] from every nation and from all the tribes and peoples and languages [of the earth], standing before the throne and before the Lamb (Christ), dressed in white robes, with [d]palm branches in their hands; 10 and in a loud voice they cried out, saying,

“Salvation [belongs] to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb [our salvation is the Trinity’s to give, and to God the Trinity we owe our deliverance].” 11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the [twenty-four] elders and the four living creatures; and they fell to their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying,

“Amen! Blessing and glory and majesty and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might belong to our God forever and ever. Amen.”

13 Then one of the elders responded, saying to me, “These who are dressed in the long white robes—who are they, and from where did they come?” 14 I said to him, “My lord, you know [the answer].” And he said to me, “These are the people who come out of the great tribulation (persecution), and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb [because of His atoning sacrifice]. 15 For this reason, they are [standing] before the throne of God; and they serve Him [in worship] day and night in His temple; and He who sits on the throne will [e]spread His tabernacle over them and shelter and protect them [with His presence]. 16 They will hunger no longer, nor thirst anymore; nor will the sun [f]beat down on them, nor any [scorching] heat; 17 for the Lamb who is in the center of the throne will be their Shepherd, and He will guide them to springs of the waters of life; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes [giving them eternal comfort].”

Footnotes

  1. Revelation 7:1 The Jews and other ancient peoples were very observant of the four winds, that is, the winds that came from each point of the compass. It was said in the Talmud that if the winds ceased to blow, the world could not continue to exist.
  2. Revelation 7:3 The seal indicates both ownership and protection by God.
  3. Revelation 7:4 The tribe of Dan is omitted from the following passage without explanation. The tribe of Manasseh, Joseph’s older son, replaces Dan, so the count remains at twelve.
  4. Revelation 7:9 I.e. symbols of victory and joy used on festive occasions.
  5. Revelation 7:15 Lit pitch His tent.
  6. Revelation 7:16 Lit fall.

           Let him who has an ear, hear what the Holy Spirit says to His church. Amen.

           Good morning beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS. This chapter alone, separates many of man’s religions, from GOD Most High. In fact, beloved, I say that this chapter in the Most Holy Word of GOD, reveals all who, through their man-made religions, calls GOD Most High, a liar.

           Jehovah’s Witnesses, calls GOD Most High a liar; for they claim that they are the one hundred forty-four thousand. Either they lie, or the Most Holy Word of GOD is lying. There is but one truth. Amen.

           Those of the religion of Calvinism, calls GOD Most High a liar; for their religion teaches that they are the chosen and not Israel. Either they lie, or the Most Holy Word of GOD is lying. There is but one truth. Amen.

           Those religions that teach the church has replaced Israel (Replacement theology) calls GOD Most High a liar; for their religion teaches that GOD has abandoned Israel and has replaced Israel with the church. Either they lie, or the Most Holy Word of GOD is lying. There is but one truth. Amen.

           Those of the religion of “White supremacist,” calls GOD Most High a liar; for their religion teaches that white people are superior to all other people. Either their religion is lying, or the Most Holy Word of GOD is lying. There is but one truth. Amen.

           Those of the religion of “Lost salvation,” calls GOD Most High a liar; for their religion teaches that unless man confesses his every sin, he can lose his salvation (the salvation that he did not earn in the first place). Either their religion is lying, or the Most Holy Word of GOD is lying. There is but one truth. Amen.

           Beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, this one Book-Revelation, in the Most Holy Word of GOD, this one Book, and each chapter in it, comes with a blessing to he who reads it or hears it; and, this one Book, and every chapter in it, comes with a warning, do not take away from it, nor add to it. Amen.

           This one chapter, in the Most Holy Word of GOD, beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, separates man’s (work’s) religion: from the precious Blood, death, burial, and resurrection (on the third day, according to the Most Holy Word of GOD) to eternal life, having defeated death, hell, and the grave, having paid (in full) the full penalty for the sin of the world, according to the Most Holy Word of GOD, by The Lamb of GOD-YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, through His Holy Spirit, by the perfect will of Father-GOD-GOD Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth, for all eternity. Amen. Amen. Amen.

           Beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, you either receive The Lamb of GOD, or you do not. Amen. Either YESHUA CHRIST JESUS was truthful when He said, “It is finished” before giving up His Spirit, dying for all sins of the world, or He did not.

           Therefore, beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, have a clear understanding: either the Holy Spirit was truthful when He said that The Lamb of GOD, said “It is finished” and The Lamb of GOD did in fact finish, in full, what Father-GOD, sent Him to finish, or He did not finish all that Father-GOD sent Him to finish—the full payment for all sin for all mankind. Amen. Amen. Amen.

           “Adversity is the test of faith; prosperity is the test of integrity.”

           (THE JEREMIAH STUDY BIBLE—DR. DAVID JEREMIAH—NEW KING JAMES STUDY BIBLE—WORTHY)

           Have a blessed Sunday beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS. Amen.

           With much awesome-tender-guiding-love, grace, and mercy, from our heavenly Abba-Father-GOD, our Savior and LORD-YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, and His Holy Spirit, to Israel and to you and I;           Sincerely: Mr. and Mrs. Timothy M. and Linda Shephard. Amen.
