For it is written, that Abraham had 2sons, the 1 by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he that was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Which things r an allegory; 4 these r the 2covenants; the one from mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. For this Agar ismount Sinai in Arabia, & answereth to Jerusalem which now is, & is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is Above is free, which is the mother of us ALL.

This is exactly the story of Abraham, Sarah & Hagar! God promised Abraham that he would be the father of many nations, but Sarah was getting older and older and arrived at the age where it was HUMANLY IMPOSSIBLE for her to bear children.

Abraham remembered God's promise that she would bear him a child, but he could not see how God would fulfill His promise, so weak in faith Abraham had a child by Sarah's servant Hagar.

But God would not accept their faithless solution apart from His PROMISE. He wants us to actually believe Him, and that always translates to faithful works. Their works were all based on a lack of faith and by their own strength and resulted in SIN-- Hagar's child was the child of BONDAGE.

When Abraham and Sarah repented of their sin and BELIEVED, God's miracle grace gave them a son--Isaac. The child of PROMISE. Not of human promise or human works. God's PROMISE by His power.

That's right, that was the fault of the first covenant, it was based upon poor promises of the disobedient (Heb 8:8). They PROMISED to keep His laws (Ex 24:3) and tried their human best, but they could not keep their promise.

Those who DID obey Him were the ones who realized they were wholly unable to keep His Commandments by their own strength and needed to rely on God's PROMISES--they had FAITH to let God write His law in their hearts!

"For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous." 1 John 5:3

Contrary to what is popularly taught today, God's Ten Commandments are NOT grievous, both Paul & John affirm the opposite, they sum up as LOVE, the first 4 as loving God, the last 6 as loving our neighbor.

We cannot break one of the Ten and claim in doing so we are showing love--I cannot lie to my neighbor and claim I am loving him as myself.

"For the law having a SHADOW of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those SACRIFICES which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect." Heb 10:1

Scripture only identifies the new moon meat & drink offering sacrificial law from the Book of the Law as shadows. None of God's law, the Ten Commandments (Rom 7:22) are ever called shadows.

His 4th Commandment is the Day the Lord Jesus claims Lordship of. Mk 2:27-28.

Thanks Forerunner, I don't see why you need a 2 part video to explain your views on this. It seems rather plain and straight forward to me. Instead of 2 videos, I'll just share 2 scriptures.

Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

@GodIsSovereignty

God repeats His 4th Commandment (written on stone by JESUS HIMSELF) among the temporary ceremonial ORDINANCES (Book of the Law written on parchment by Moses) in Lev ch 23.

During the times of the annual ceremonial sacrificial new moon meat & drink sabbaths of Lev ch 23 it was important for Israel to remain observing the seventh Day, the Lord's Day.

Jesus MADE (Mk 2:27) the Sabbath on the seventh Day of creation. The Sabbath identifies the Lord Jesus as Creator. Rev 14:7

[GodIsSovereignty]

@Nirky Lev. 23:3 says, "For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a sabbath of complete rest, a holy convocation. You shall not do any work; it is a sabbath to the LORD in all your dwellings."

You call this ceremonial new moon meat & drink...blah blah? What does the 4th commandment says? Works 6 days and rest on the 7th--the same as Lev. 23:3. When did Jesus create the Sabbath? No where in Scripture says it's created.

[Nirky]

@GodIsSovereignty

Lev ch 23 and Col 2:14-17 deal with the ceremonial new moon meat & drink offering sacrificial ordinances of the Book of the Law, which we have seen Scripture calls shadows. Heb 10:1.

Exodus 16 is God telling Moses & Israel the Lord's Day is already His law weeks before they got to Sinai. When did Jesus create the Sabbath, His Day?

"And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made." Gen 2:3

@Nirky Read Exodus 16:25, Leviticus 23:1-3 and Colossians 2:16-17. Compare them.
