Paul says this applies to Abraham and his seed *singular*, namely, Christ (Galatians 3:16). Whoever blesses the Christ, the seed of Abraham, is blessed, whoever curses the Christ, the seed of Abraham, is cursed. (Galatians 3:7, 16, 26-29). The Jews, having cursed the seed of Abraham, have cut themselves off (Romans 11:20-22) and are under the curse of the covenant, according to the terms of disobedience (Deuteronomy 28; Romans 11:7-9, Matthew 21:19-21, 43). Paul even calls the ethnic Jews (according to the flesh) the sons of Ishmael, of Hagar the slave woman—the worst "antisemitic" insult you could level against a Jew—while calling the Gentiles (and Jews) united to Christ the true sons of Sarah, and Isaac, and the true Israel of God (Galatians 4:21-31; 6:16, Philippians 3:2-3; Romans 4:9-12; 9:24-26; Ephesians 2:11-22; 1 Peter 2:9-10, Revelation 3:9). Hence Christ himself and John the Baptist called the apostate Jews of their day a "brood of vipers;" that is, the seed of the serpent, the sons of the cursed line (Matthew 3:7; 23:33). Hence John also says, "Do not even begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father,' for God is able to raise up from these stones children for Abraham" (3:9), and Christ says to them, "You are of your father the devil" (John 8:44). In other words, ethnic descent (the flesh) does not grant you the benefits of the covenant, only union with the seed of Abraham (Christ Jesus) grants you the benefits of the covenant and the favor of God.

Benjamin Netanyahu: "As the Bible teaches us: When someone acts to kill you, rise and act first."

The Bible in Question:

"Do not say, 'I will repay evil;' wait for the LORD, and he will deliver you."
-Solomon, King of Israel (Proverbs 20:22)

"Vengeance is Mine; I will repay."
-The Lord God (Deuteronomy 32:35)

"Do not fret when men carry out wicked schemes.
Refrain from anger and abandon wrath;
For the evildoers will be cut off,
but the meek will inherit the land."
-David, King of Israel (Psalm 37)

"You rely on the sword, you commit abominations, shall you then possess the land?"
-Ezekiel the Prophet (Ezekiel 33)

And I haven't even started quoting the New Testament passages. It's chilling to me that what Netanyahu says is the exact diametric inversion of what Christ says in the Sermon on the Mount. It is antichrist to its core.

The West Wall is the only remains left of the destruction of the Old Testament temple complex and the city of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. by General Titus of the Roman empire. The reason it is significant is because the destruction of the temple was the primary prophecy of judgment that Jesus prophesied against Jerusalem during his ministry in 30 A.D. (see Matthew 21-25, especially 23-24), and it was the primary reason the Jews hated him and had him crucified. The praying over the West Wall is a prayer for the restoration of the temple and the kingdom of Israel. The classical and orthodox Christian interpretation of this is that it is a stubborn rejection of Jesus as the Messiah, a refusal to repent and embrace their true king Jesus, and a pledging of allegiance to a counterfeit and apostate Israel, and a rebuilding of what God tore down, in defiance against him, and a re-establishing of the Old World in the power of the flesh, which Jesus Christ fulfilled in the Spirit—a rejection of the light which dawned, of the sun of righteousness, and a return to the shadow, to the darkness, to the night. It is the establishing of a false Sabbath and a false kingdom of man (Day 6; i.e. 666) in opposition to God's kingdom enthronement (Day 7). It is the spirit of the antichrist, which denies that Jesus the Messiah has come in the flesh (1 John 4:3). It is to trample underfoot the Son of God and to outrage the Spirit of grace, and for whom no sacrifice or atonement remains (Hebrews 10:29), since they they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt (Hebrews 6:6-8).

"For land that has drunk the rain that often falls on it, and produces a crop useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God. But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed, and its end is to be burned."

Last night marked 48 days in a row of live streaming (!) through Ezekiel. Today is my first day off in 7 weeks.

Well, actually I'm still working today lol, been finishing up final edits on the devotional before sending for publication. What should my next series be about, and when/how often should I stream? I'm thinking Ephesians, and maybe twice a week so I can catch up on editing and publishing.

‪@CosmicSkeptic‬ Alex if you're seeing this, I would love to do a calm sit-down podcast with you, and I promise I won't talk over you like I did at the debate (I'm sorry for that mate, I was nervous and on edge haha. Also I'm sorry I misspelled your name when I first posted last week). Of course you're welcome to get on my stream but it will be 2 am where you're at haha.

Why I am a 6-Day Creationist. Yes, me, the "symbolism" guy.

Exodus 20:11 depends on the assumption that the sequence of the days of creation were iterated as they were for no reason other than to be a pattern for man to follow. Genesis 1 is *defining* the word "day," not just employing a word from elsewhere, and it is specifically establishing the evening-morning sequence for mankind. Therefore the pattern (and "days") of creation has no reason to exist except as it does today--as a night-and-light cycle of 24 hours. Otherwise God could have made everything in one "day," or a trillion "days," and it would be arbitrary. The scientific revision of the length of creation is simply a way of gutting the creation from its revealed meaning, of dividing the symbol from the literal, of divorcing the physical from the metaphysical.

It is especially critical for Christians to preserve the marriage of the literal and the symbolic precisely here, at the beginning point of all things, before sin divides them. For sin is a divorce between the physical and the metaphysical, between the form and the substance, between the archetype (God) and the image (Man). If you take the creation of all things--the very manifestation of God's Nature and God's Word--and strip it from the revelation of all things, you are surpassing even the devil by introducing his Primordial Lie--"Did God really say?"--not only to the command in Genesis 2, but to the creation of the cosmos in Genesis 1. Even the Father of Lies himself did not attempt that. If Genesis 1 does not convey a union of the physical and the metaphysical, of the literal and the symbolic, then the gospel cannot convey a reunion of the same. If creation does not establish the correspondence between the literal and the symbolic, between the archetype (Spirit) and the image (Flesh), then the incarnation cannot reunite them, it cannot be the union of Spirit and Flesh. The symbolism in Scripture is not "dead" (accidental), but living (essential). In other words, it is sacramental (it communicates spiritual realities through physical form). All symbols are fundamentally ontological because they correspond to a metaphysical reality in heaven, otherwise the revelation of God would be powerless and incommunicable. And if this correspondence is not found in the formation of all things, then it is not found in the redemption of all things, and the gnostics are right. But the resurrection is literal because the creation was literal, the eschaton is literal because the protologue is literal, and the Day of Judgment, the Eternal Sabbath is literal (light from darkness, never to darken again) because the days of creation are literal (light from darkness, and darkness again; evening and morning, and evening again).

The reason symbols throughout Scripture can be "non-literal" is precisely because the symbols in creation ARE literal. The former derives their power from the latter, and are returned to their origins once again in the end. We live under the veil of the firmament, where heavenly realities are separated from the earthly symbols. But when the veil is removed and we are restored to the New Eden--indeed, in Christ, the two are already one--every symbol and form will be rejoined to its substance, and the marriage between physical and metaphysical which God established in the beginning will be restored.

In other words, God's poetry comes true, because it was true in the beginning, and is always true beyond the veil.

I love how people are using "It's not based on the Last Supper it's based on the ancient cult orgies of Greek gods" as a defense as if that's somehow better. #olympics #olympics2024 #paris
