Born Again

 

A Poem by Jeffrey Gassler in Honor of our Lord Jesus Christ

We have been born again by the Blood of Jesus Christ. Our Lord and Savior has allowed us to enter into His Kingdom. We have been baptized in His Blood and from His Side the Church has been made. Just as Eve came from Adam's Side, so We come forth from the Son of God. The Father accepts us in the sight of His Son. The Sacrifice that was made for us through Jesus Christ makes it possible for us, frail and fallen creation to be union with the Creator!

The Church really is a marvel. It is the making of Almighty God.
We came forth from Christ's Wounds, like a child from the womb.
It was struggle, we wiggled and writhed in our wicked sin, not yet passing through the Blood. Then we came forth from Christ's Wounds, made a new.
The shackles of our sin, like the umbilical cord were tossed aside and we took our first breath in this new world of Salvation. Our cry of praise reaching paradise and our eyes at last seeing a world that once was blind to us.

Our cries for food, the Word of God were answered with the Breast of God, His Bible. The Scriptures filled our stomachs and soon the Spirit too nourished us. As we became stronger, the voice and verses became our own words. In time the Milk and Manna of Matthew and Mark that sustained us in early years gave way to the Meat of the Epistles. We sharpened our teeth upon the towers of Timothy and Titus, we ran the race of Romans to Revelation with relish.

At the end of the race we find contentment in Christ Jesus. Feeding on Him daily, we gain our substance and survive the soaring waves of suffering. We soon find our blood mingling with His Blood, until we no longer know if It is us or Christ that lives in this earthen vessel. The joy of being born again begins at baptism in His Blood and ends in our own blood growing cold and our souls going to be with the Savior in everlasting paradise. There is not moment of separation between Man and the Maker, His Church carved out in the flesh of Christ Jesus.

Israel’s Conquest of Canaan: The Nephilim and Giants

  Christianity Today asserts that the conquest of Canaan can be a “stumbling block” for believers. This probably is because of a foolish idea of comparing it to a modern conquest happening in our world. The truth is that God had Israel conquer Canaan because it was ruled by evil giants, “We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.” (Numbers 13:33). These are Anakim or Nephilim, the children of angels and human women, “When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God (angels) saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them.

Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) was a man who did two things, he took 70th week of the Book of Daniel and stretched out to the End Times, and he was the father of  Dispensationalism , a belief system that God dispenses different peoples with separate blessings and covenants. According to Darb'ys doctrine of Dispensationalism, God dispenses different covenants. There are total of seven dispensations that divide the history of man: I. Dispensation of Innocence (prior to the Fall, "Do not east of the Fruit of Good and Eve, Eden), II. Dispensation of Conscience ( You must assuage guilt and sin with blood sacrifices.) III. Dispensation of Human Government (Multiply and Subdue the world, example the Tower of Babel Gen 11:1-9, and Genesis 1:28). IV. Dispensation of the Promise (Dwell in Canaan, Jerusalem) V. Dispensation of the Law ("Obey the Law of Moses and the Prophets"). VI. Dispensation of Grace (The Church, Jesus Christ has come and died for our sins an

Jesus’ Name in Aramaic

There has been a trend to render Jesus’ name Hebrew, יֵשׁוּעַ , Yeshua. The problem is neither Christ nor his apostles, nor the Jews in 30-33 A.D. spoke Hebrew, they spoke Aramaic. A ramaic is the oldest language on earth and was the language Jesus spoke. In fact, the oldest Old Testament is the Septuagint a Greco translation around 132 B.C.E. (165 Years Before Christ)that was translated from Aramaic. The Masoretic Text, The Hebrew Old Testament most Bibles use, dates from 7th to 10th Century A.D. (Medieval Times).  This translation does not cross reference with the words of Christ in the New Testament which are Aramaic and Koine Greek.  If the Aramaic was what Jesus spoke, then by what name would have been called? Jesus’ name in Aramaic is Isho or Eesho, spelled ܝܫܘܥ . That is the name of our Lord in Aramaic! He would have heard his name in this dialect, “Hail Isho or Eesho!” as well as the Greek, Ἰ ησο ῦ ς , Iesous.  Aramaic is disappearing, only a few people are endeavo
