The last will and testament of Jesus Christ

THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF JESUS CHRIST.

In this study we will only use the Words of God as recorded in the Bible to come up with the answers as to what the scriptures are teaching about the Blood Of Christ. The first scripture we will use is the one that everyone uses to say that they are born of the Holy Spirit. This scripture gives no indication as to what is required of God for God to re-establish His Spirit of Life back into a person by the Anointing that will reconcile that person back to living only by His Holy Spirit of Life. (Luke 17:20-21 KJV) "And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: {21} Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."

(John 3:1-10 NASB) "Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; {2} this man came to Him by night, and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him." {3} Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." {4} Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born, can he?" {5} Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. {6} "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. {7} "Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.' {8} "The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit." {9} Nicodemus answered and said to Him, "How can these things be?" {10} Jesus answered and said to him, "Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not understand these things?"

Nicodemus, was a ruler of the Jews and a teacher of the Religion of the God of Israel. As we see in verse 10, Jesus got after Nicodemus for not knowing and understanding the teachings that the Christ of Israel had given the Jews in the Religion. The point being made here, is that this born again experience that Jesus Christ was talking about, was not something new. Nicodemus never asked Jesus how to enter into the Kingdom of God? The Righteous of the Nations of Israel were and still are the Spiritual Kingdom of God in flesh. The response Jesus Christ made about being born again was in response to the statement Nicodemus made.

All the Jews that believed in Jesus Christ, know He was a teacher sent form God because the Anointing called the Christ in the Greek language, was Working miracles by the Creative Power of the Life in the Son of God, living in Jesus from the Anointing. 2 Cor 5:18 "And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation." All the Prophets of old, that God sent to Israel, was sent to warn them about the ways they were living their lives outside of God's Will. All the Prophets in both the Old and New Covenant were given great power and authority from God's Anointing (Christ) to show forth the Great Works of God as a sign that they were truly of God's Anointing.

John 3: 2 -- "Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him." {3} Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

Why would Jesus Christ respond to Nicodemus in such a way? The answer is in the Mission that the Father had chosen Jesus and His Disciples to do when He Anointing them as Sons of God, by His Holy Spirit of Life. Jesus Christ, the Son of Man and the Son of God, had been sent to earth by the Father to fulfill all thing written about the Messiah in the Covenant God made His People from Adam on. He was sent to Preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God on earth, and to bring it into it's fulfilment by reconciling the obedient believers in the God of Israel, back to the Holy Life that Adam was created with. A life living in man without sin. Remember, Jesus Christ only came unto His Own, The House of Israel, to fulfill the promises He made to them and the Strangers who had keep His Covenant Paul took the Gospel of the Kingdom of God to the Gentiles long after the death of Jesus Christ on the cross.

We can see all the promises He had given to the Spiritual Sons of Israel, in His Two Last Wills and Testaments, being fulfilled in the Righteous lives of the servants of God through the Life of Christ living in Jesus Christ and His Disciples. The preaching of the Gospel by Jesus and His Disciples, along with the signs and wonders being manifested by the Christ within them, was the signs that Nicodemus had seen. His desire to know more about this man they called the Messiah, prompted him to come at night as he himself was a Pharisee.

In replay to Nicodemus statement about Him and His Disciples being from God because of the signs and wonders that were following them when they were preaching the Kingdom of God, Jesus Christ said to him: "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." No Jew or Gentile can enter the Kingdom of God and have these signs follow them unless they have been reconciled back to God, as the Sons of God, without having the Father once again put His Holy Spirit of Life back into them by the Anointing. There is only one sign given that verify that one has been born of the Kingdom of God, and that sign is the signs and wonders that will follow the Son of God living in the believer as the Son of God. (John 14:12-13 KJV) "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. {13} And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." (Rom 3:23-24 KJV) "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" {24} Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:"

When sin has been removed from one's life by their obedience to keep the Last Will and Testament of Jesus Christ, that He give His People for their Salvation, the Father can once again give them the Son of God within, that will Glorify Himself as their Father. This is why Salvation is of the Jews. There is no other way for God to remove your sin without you being obedient to do His will contained in the Covenant He made with His People, Israel. Sin in the Jewish Bible is defined as transgressing the Laws of God contained in the Last Will and Testament of Jesus Christ. (Rom 3:1-3 KJV) "What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? {2} Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. {3} For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?"

God only made One Will for His people to inherit His Kingdom, and that One Will was with the Spiritual House of Israel. No Jew or Gentile, who has not obtained to the Righteous standard set by the Father, will receive the Election of Grace He gives to them that serve Him and Him only. One cannot serve "Baal" and receive the Election of Grace. (Rom 11:4-5 KJV) "But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. {5} Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace." To inherit along with the Spiritual Jews, one must be grafted into the Spiritual Nation of Israel and take hold of the Spiritual Covenant of the One True God, and worship the God of Israel in Spirit and in Truth. (Rom 2:28-29 KJV) "For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: {29} But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God."

(Rom 11:13-21 TLB) "As you know, God has appointed me as a special messenger to you Gentiles. I lay great stress on this and remind the Jews about it as often as I can, {14} so that if possible I can make them want what you Gentiles have and in that way save some of them. {15} And how wonderful it will be when they become Christians! When God turned away from them it meant that he turned to the rest of the world to offer his salvation; and now it is even more wonderful when the Jews come to Christ. It will be like dead people coming back to life. {16} And since Abraham and the prophets are God's people, their children will be too. For if the roots of the tree are holy, the branches will be too. {17} But some of these branches from Abraham's tree, some of the Jews, have been broken off. And you Gentiles who were branches from, we might say, a wild olive tree, were grafted in. So now you, too, receive the blessing God has promised Abraham and his children, sharing in God's rich nourishment of his own special olive tree. {18} But you must be careful not to brag about being put in to replace the branches that were broken off. Remember that you are important only because you are now a part of God's tree; you are just a branch, not a root. {19} "Well," you may be saying, "those branches were broken off to make room for me, so I must be pretty good." {20} Watch out! Remember that those branches, the Jews, were broken off because they didn't believe God, and you are there only because you do. Do not be proud; be humble and grateful--and careful. {21} For if God did not spare the branches he put there in the first place, he won't spare you either."

This above passage makes it very plain that we Gentiles have been grafted into Spiritual Israel, only because we believed on the Jewish Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ. Israel as a Physical Nation living in carnality, was cut off from God. If we who are of the Carnal Nations, accept the Righteousness Life of the Christ of Israel, as our new way of living our present life, He promised in His Last Will and Testament to Save us also. His also promise His physical Nation of Israel, and all those people who do not live His Righteous Way of life, that He, the God of Israel, would Judge the world in Righteous. All who are not found living a life in the Righteousness of Christ, and do not have the Life of Christ living in them, He will destroy out of His Kingdom.

(Exo 24:6-8 KJV) "And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. {7} And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient. {8} And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words."

John 10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

(Mark 16:17-18 KJV) "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; {18} They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."

If we say we believe in Him and do not abide in His teachings because of our unbelief, God swears that we will not enter into His Rest. (Heb 3:18-19 KJV) "And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? {19} So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief." Heb 4:1-2 "Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. :2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it." Jesus came as the Messiah (Christ) of Israel and He came to save all people who would receive Him. (John 1:11-13 KJV) "He came unto his own, and his own received him not. {12} But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: {13} Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."

We as Gentiles can become partakers of the Salvation that is only found in the God

of Israel who Created Man in His Image by putting His own Life in Him as the Temple of God. The God of creation, was and is the God of the Nation of Israel. The God of the Spiritual Nation of Israel, is the Spirit of the God of Israel who created all things. The gods of the Gentiles Nations, are the things created, such as the Sun, Moon, and Stars. And as such, most of their worship, revolves around Sunday Worship. The spirit they worship is the spirit of Satan, who came to destroy the people of the God of Israel by leading them into sin.. (John 8:44 KJV) "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do." He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Jesus as a man, having qualified Himself by keeping the Covenant, never having worshipped " the gods of Baal", inherits the promise of Salvation contained in the Covenant. The life in Him from His mother, was restored back to the Life of the Kingdom of God, being reborn back into Him as the Son of God. Jesus the man received every promise in and from the Anointing within (Christ) Him, that restored Him back to the Father's Life from the Kingdom of God. From the Kingdom of God within Him, here on earth, Jesus the Christ received every promise God made to the Spiritual Jew, born of His Spirit. Every promise God made to the Spiritual Jew in the Covenant is now available to all men because Jesus, the Son of Man, has revealed the way into the Holy of Holys. His followers who will now do His Will, written in His Last Will and Testament, can now enter the Kingdom of God that Jesus Christ came and set up here on earth.

Since the Old and New Testaments are wills of a living person, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, would have to die to bring His New will into effect. At His death on the Cross, His Last will and Testament were Sealed. No person, not even the Father of Jesus Christ could change One Commandment or One teaching contained in His Will. Every promise in the Will must now be fulfilled to those who are truly the Sons of God, born of the Kingdom of God. Remember that both the people and the Books containing the First will of God, were both Sealed with the Blood of the sacrificial Lamb in Exodus 24: 1-8. The First WILL took effect immediately when the Blood was sprinkled on it and the people, signifying the death of Jesus Christ. The New Covenant, the Last Will and Testament that Jesus Christ made, giving His faithful followers, His Father's Kingdom now, here on earth, also took effect at His death. It took effect immediately at the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. (Luke 23:45-46 KJV) "And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. {46} And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost."

(Heb 9:15-20 TLB) "Christ came with this new agreement so that all who are invited may come and have forever all the wonders God has promised them. For Christ died to rescue them from the penalty of the sins they had committed while still under that old system. {16} Now, if someone dies and leaves a will--a list of things to be given away to certain people when he dies--no one gets anything until it is proved that the person who wrote the will is dead. {17} The will goes into effect only after the death of the person who wrote it. While he is still alive no one can use it to get any of those things he has promised them. {18} That is why blood was sprinkled (as proof of Christ's death) before even the first agreement could go into effect. {19} For after Moses had given the people all of God's laws, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, and sprinkled the blood over the book of God's laws and over all the people, using branches of hyssop bushes and scarlet wool to sprinkle with. {20} Then he said, "This is the blood that marks the beginning of the agreement between you and God, the agreement God commanded me to make with you.

(John 3: 5-7) Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. {6} "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. {7} "Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.' John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (1 Pet 1:22-23 KJV) "Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: {23} Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever."

In 1 Peter 1:23 above, we read the words; "Being born again". This statement tells us how man is born again of the Spirit of God. He is born again when the Word of God is living in the man as the Life of the Father. (1 John 2:24-25 NASB) "As for you, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. {25} And this is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life." (1 John 2:14 NASB) "I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one." The Word of God is found in the Two Covenants God made with Israel.

A Covenant with God, is where He promises to do for you what He said He would do, if you do for Him what you promised you would do for Him. It is a written agreement with all the terms written down and Sealed with His Blood on God's part. If God did not keep every part of His own Covenant He made to mankind, He to would be a sinner and have to die for His sins. God Himself stipulated in His Covenant that the one who broke their part of the Covenant would have to die. (Rom 6:23 KJV) "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

In the scriptures Jesus tells Nicodemus he cannot enter the Kingdom of God unless he is born of the Spirit of God. Why would Nicodemus have to be born of

the Spirit of God to enter the Kingdom of God, as a Jew? The Promise of God's Eternal Spiritual Kingdom was not to those born of the flesh of Abraham, but to those born of the Spirit of God as Abraham was. The kingdom of carnal man on earth, is a flesh and blood kingdom. In contrast to the earthly kingdom, the Kingdom of God from Heaven, that Jesus Christ Preached is a Spiritual Kingdom. The Kingdom of God is given to those in this life who keep His Covenant and fear Him. How is it given to the people who keep His Covenant? The same way is was in the Old Covenant. By the Anointing of the individual that God is using to Glorify Himself in. That was why Jesus was called the Anointed (Christ), as He was born again into the Kingdom of God. This is why Nicodemus should have known all about the new birth..

THE KINGDOM OF GOD CAME TO EARTH WHEN JESUS WAS RECONCILED BACK INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD WHEN HE WAS BAPTISED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT AT JOHN'S BAPTISM.

(Luke 16:16-17 KJV) "The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. {17} And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail." (Mat 5:18-20 KJV) "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. {19} Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. {20} For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."

Where was the Law written that God said could not be changed? In His Blood Covenant He made with Abraham and His Spiritual Seed. Why did He say it could not be changed? Because it was Sealed before the foundations of the world with the future death of Jesus Christ. (Rev 13:6-8 KJV) "And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. {7} And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. {8}And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." If one is not worshipping the Lord Jesus Christ, the God of the People of Spiritual Israel, by keeping His Covenant which He Sealed with His own Blood, than they are living outside of God's Kingdom and are serving the Antichrist of Babylon. (Rev 17:5 KJV) "And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."

Every Protestant should know who the antichrist is. The truth that the Roman Catholic Church was and is the Antichrist, is the truth that started the Protestant movement. The Protestant movement was the one who named the Babylonian Roman Church as the Church that would tried to usurp the authority of the Christ of Israel. They tried to replace the Christ of Israel and His Holy Laws with their unlawful ways that would allow them and their followers to worship the Pagan gods of Babylon without knowing they were worshipping the Antichrist . (Dan 7:25-26 KJV) "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. {26} But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion to consume and to destroy it unto the end."

The Covenant with Abraham was also Sealed with the Death of the Lamb that represented Jesus Christ. The First Covenant God gave to Israel was also Sealed with the Blood of the Lamb of God. The New Covenant that we have our Salvation under with Jesus Christ, was Sealed with the Blood of Jesus Christ who was the Lamb of God. When? At His death on the Cross. No one can reopen a Blood Covenant after the testator has died. It only comes into effect after the death of the Testator. Why could the Catholic Church or the Protestant Churches not change the day of Rest that the God through whom the Father created all things, Rested on? Exo 20:10 "But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God:" It was never theirs to change. A person cannot change things they have no power to change. The Seventh Day Rest does not belong to mankind. It only belongs to the God of Creation. It was He that worked six days and Rested on the Seventh from all His works. Part of the work He Rested from, was the creation of Mankind. (Rom 9:20-21 KJV) "Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? {21} Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?"

The Seventh Day Sabbath was given to God's People so they could have the knowledge to Rest with Him in His Rest Day. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, along with all the people called Israel kept their God's Seventh Day Rest. (Heb 4:2-5 KJV) "For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. {3} For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. {4} For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. {5} And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest."

No one, not even the Father of the one who died on the Cross, could change one dot or tittle of the will of Jesus Christ after He was dead. Every word written in the last will and testament of the Lord Jesus Christ must be fulfilled by God, His Father, as He is the administer of the New Testament that was sealed with the Blood of Jesus, His Son. The Father must fulfill every word written in the WILL, in the Kingdom of God. That is why not one dot or tittle can be done away with tell every promise is fulfilled by God the Father, to all faithful man.

(Acts 4:10-12 KJV) "Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. {11} This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. {12} Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Other Religions teach that there are other way of being saved.

The Catholic Church and the Protestant Churches both teach that their teachings are the only way of being saved. Both say one can keep their Sunday as their Holy Day and still be saved by the Christ of Israel. The Last Will and Testament of Jesus Christ did not say that. It said Salvation was of the Jews. It also said that the 7th Day Sabbath was the Sabbath of the God of Israel. Exo 20:10 "But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God". The People of the Spiritual Nation of Israel was the only people Jesus Christ wrote into His Last Will and Testament to inherit His Eternal Life. Only Spiritual Israel is named in the Will of Jesus Christ, and only they will inherit His Spiritual Kingdom. This is why Jesus Christ told Nicodemus, a Jew, he to must be born again of the Spirit of Life from God's Kingdom. This is made plain in Eph 2.

(Eph 2:11-17 KJV) "Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; {12} That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: {13} But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. {14} For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; {15} Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; {16} And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: {17} And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh."

When we Gentiles (Strangers) accept the Lord Jesus Christ, the God of Israel, as our saviour also, we are accepting His Last Will and Testament He made for His followers to inherit all His possessions at His death on the Cross. In His Will, He named the ones who would receive His Kingdom at His death. Who are these people? They were His people of Spiritual Israel. The Jews and the Strangers, who have joined themselves to Spiritual Israel, will be saved. Not Physical Israel born of the flesh, but only those who keep His Sabbath and His Covenant. His last Will named Israel as the people who would Inherit. (Isa 56:6-7 KJV) "Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; (7) Even them will I bring to my holy mountain."

(Heb 8:8-11 KJV) "For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: {9} Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. {10} For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: {11} And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest."

The last Will of Jesus Christ did not leave one thing to the Gentile Nations, only to Spiritual Israel. It said that in order to Inherit with Israel, you had to become one of God people called Spiritual Israel. Not only that, the Will said one had to be keeping all the Commandments that God gave to His people. The Will also said one had to be a Spiritual Jew. (John 4:22 KJV) "Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews." (Rom 2:29 KJV) "But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God." It said the one to inherit must live his life in and by every words written in the Bible. (Mat 4:4 KJV) "But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.The Will said one had to be living a Righteous life that was pleasing to Him.

Also, one had to believe that they would inherit the Kingdom of God, and that they would seek to meet the requirements writing into the Will of Jesus Christ. (Heb 11:6 KJV) "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." One must live a Spiritual Life in Christ Jesus, not just believe in Him as the Pharisees did. They believed in the God of Israel, but followed the traditions of the people of Babylon in their Sun-Day worship. (Mat 5:20 KJV) "For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven." (Rom 11:4-6 KJV) "But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. {5} Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. {6} And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work." If the Christ of Israel does not chose to save you, because you did please Him, you will not be saved to Inherit Eternal Life in His Kingdom. (Mat 22:12-14 KJV) "And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. {13} Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. {14} For many are called, but few are chosen."

The Will said one cannot have other gods that they worshipped besides the God of Israel. Like bowing your knee before the god's of Christ-mass, Easter, and the Sun's Day worship. (Exo 20:3-5 KJV) "Thou shalt have no other gods before me. {4} Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: {5} Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;" (Rom 11:4-5 KJV) "But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. {5} Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace." If you want to know what else Jesus Christ requires of you to be chosen as a participant in the inheritance of the Kingdom of God, read and study the whole of the last Will that Jesus Christ made just before He died on the Cross.

(Exo 24:7-8 KJV) "And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient. {8} And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words." (Mat 26:28-29 KJV) "For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. {29} But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom." Your not in God's Kingdom when you die, you won't be eating with Jesus Christ after the resurrection of the Righteous Sons of God.

(Heb 3:12-18 TLB) "Beware then of your own hearts, dear brothers, lest you find that they, too, are evil and unbelieving and are leading you away from the living God. {13} Speak to each other about these things every day while there is still time so that none of you will become hardened against God, being blinded by the glamor of sin. {14} For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as we did when we first became Christians, we will share in all that belongs to Christ. {15} But now is the time. Never forget the warning, "Today if you hear God's voice speaking to you, do not harden your hearts against him, as the people of Israel did when they rebelled against him in the desert." {16} And who were those people I speak of, who heard God's voice speaking to them but then rebelled against him? They were the ones who came out of Egypt with Moses their leader. {17} And who was it who made God angry for all those forty years? These same people who sinned and as a result died in the wilderness. {18} And to whom was God speaking when he swore with an oath that they could never go into the land he had promised his people? He was speaking to all those who disobeyed him."

(Heb 4:1-4 TLB) "Although God's promise still stands--his promise that all may enter his place of rest--we ought to tremble with fear because some of you may be on the verge of failing to get there after all. {2} For this wonderful news--the message that God wants to save us--has been given to us just as it was to those who lived in the time of Moses. But it didn't do them any good because they didn't believe it. They didn't mix it with faith. {3} For only we who believe God can enter into his place of rest. He has said, "I have sworn in my anger that those who don't believe me will never get in," even though he has been ready and waiting for them since the world began.

4} We know he is ready and waiting because it is written that God rested on the seventh day of creation, having finished all that he had planned to make."

(Heb 10:22-31 NASB) "Let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. {23} Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; {24} and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, {25} not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more, as you see the day drawing near. {26} For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, {27} but a certain terrifying expectation of judgment, and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES.

28} Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. {29} How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? {30} For we know Him who said, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY." And again, "THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE." {31} It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God."

Here Paul is comparing how God is going to deal with the people who call themselves Christian under the New Covenant. They say they are Spiritual Jews because they believe in the God of Israel while worshipping Him in their Babylonian Churches. Their worship is directed to the ways the Babylonian worship their many Pagan gods found in the Catholic Church. They don't do what the God of Israel said they must do to be chosen by Him to receive His Salvation.. Read what God did to the Nation of Israel for worshipping Him as the Pagans did. We both have the same Covenant for our Salvation. Both Covenants were officially Sealed by God at the death of Jesus Christ to forgiveness of all the sins of the one who repents of their sins and returns to the God of Israel.

(Eccl 12:13-14 NASB) "The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. {14} For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil."

John 10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.(Mark 16:17-18 KJV) "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; {18} They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
