Son of Man Has Ransomed Us On High




The cross is the center symbol of our Christian faith. For upon the cross our Great God and Savior Jesus Christ nailed the separation (sin) between us and God; destroying it forever. There is now no barrier between God and us; Jesus is the stairway and His blood the covering that lets us enter the holiest place, “And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus.” (Hebrews 10:19). Christ our Lord has tore down the altars and veil (Matthew 27:46-51) and now lives in us and we live in God)! (1John 4:15) 

The glorious sacrifice of God our Savior  should ever be on our minds. For the great apostle himself said “For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified,” (1 Corinthians 2:2) and “As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died.” (Galatians 6:14). Jesus is the LORD God, One with the Father and Spirit, He has given us full access to God’s presence because He is God!, “Now all of us can come (have access) to the Father through the same Holy Spirit because of what Christ has done for us.” (Ephesians 2:18). We may enter in because of the Son of God and be called sons of God through faith in Jesus (Galatians 3:26). Iesus has crowned us with His approval, and we are sealed by The Spiritus Sancti (Ephesians 1:13). The Holy Trinity has reconciled us through Jesus’ sacrifice and our response, i.e. faith and trust in Him and His sacrifice. Christ sacrifice alone saves us; He is the Savior! 

The Gospel ought to provoke us to blow trumpets and shout for joy! That God was not content to leave us at a distance, but came near to us and became flesh! (John 1:1-17). O Immanuel praise be your name! Who has washed us from our taint and protects us from wrath, “For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thessalonians 5:9). O Jesu, Lord of Man’s desire, you have chosen us when we were enemies, “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!  For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!  Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” (Romans 5:8-11). 


The Son of God has ransomed us. The inferno’s flames cooled by His maimed body and blood. Thanks be to God Most High: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit Three in One. Amen.

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. The...

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...

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 peop...
