Dreaming There Unto

In the name of God, the gracious, the merciful, have you considered him who denies the religion? It is he who mistreats the orphan and does not encourage the feeding of the poor. So woe to those who pray, those who are heedless of their prayers, those who put on the appearance and withhold the assistance. So just prior, we have looked at the person who hates you is a loser.

Speaking about those that do not worship what we worship and those that do not serve what we serve. You know that when you serve the Lord, he is always with you even to the end of the world. And at times his ways might seem awfully strange.

It seems a stranger here at first, does not it, my friends, that you would have to go backwards through Law of Moses even stranger that you have to go in order by tablets. But actually, the order of the tablets is done so that you can make sense out of everything as it relates to the whole. Because the physical problems can arise such as difficulties understanding short winded with breathing and other things of that nature.

However, going in order by tablets helps to paint a much clearer picture of what is actually happening. Just as Moses went up on the floor on the mountain and received the law from the Lord, right? And he had the two tablets in his hand when he came down from the mountain and he saw the people there worshiping the golden calf. And what did he do? He threw them down on the ground and they broke at least according to tradition.

Now, the Law of Moses will make it clear later on that actually Moses was one of those that worshiped the golden calf also, even though he does not remember. That is why when our God's conception, our God's authority on a thing is final, see, he knows more. He knows the end from the beginning before time began, right? He knows everything all along and it is all held in his hand.

And so thus when he knows everything, he has considered it all already. And we may not know that before, but our God is the one who can bring to our attention. He lets us know on the journey.

He lets us know things about ourselves and just as with Edom, where they forget just as soon as death happens and there is a loss of consciousness and forgetting a departure from God. And sometimes people will maintain that identity of forgetfulness of the Lord and his benefits the whole rest of their lives. Other people remember everything until the day they die.

(3:40 - 4:13)

And they are just as with those who are in Moab, who remember everything. And so when you have the angel, well, the book of God, and you see David sitting there wondering about what to do with the Moabite man that came and wanted to worship the Lord and was he allowed or not in the sanctuary and what would have happened. There was a whole section on the Moabites to be given in the law.

(4:13 - 5:59)

Our God is good all the time, so he does not want us to come before him. We come before his presence with singing and enter his courts with praise. We do not come in before him with lots of groans and gripes and bellyaches about what happened yesterday, a long time ago, a hundred years from now.

So it is to him we better turn and not to any others there anymore. So it is in his name, first of all, that we come before him. He is gracious and merciful because that is who he is all along.

Even if we do not understand the road we are on just yet, it is he who leads us along. So therefore, you see, the deniers of the religion, those who deny their faith in God, perhaps they see that there is no God. Perhaps they mean it in the sense that there is no God, but you are not able to say no to God.

God is before all things, in all things, by all things, and through all things, and in him all things exist. So when he says in scripture that he destroys the people of Noah, that those that deny him, those that refuse him, those that reject him, he deals with them, and his dealings are not as with the people who would say, yes, Lord, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. For his ways are not grievous, they are not as the ways of men who bind heavy burdens on the people and refuse to lift, not one finger in one's finger lift them the slightest.

(6:00 - 18:51)

Right, so there you see it, my friends, it is our God who justifies, he is the one who brings us out all along, and we pray to him, but those that pray, they're the man for assistance from any other man and refuse to seek their help from the Lord. See, just as he fed the prophet Elijah at the bulk of bread, the bulk with just some ravens, or a widow, and thereof, see, our God is the one who provides all along, and those who refuse to help others, just as the blind guides that lead the blind, and they both fall into the ditch, you cannot truly find help from anyone else but the Lord. And so those also, though, who refuse to see his kingdom come in this world, and refuse to pray to him, refuse to feed the poor, and to do good where they can, remembering that as with all things, it is unto our Lord, and those that neglect to pray and say what use is it, our God, is it just, this is not working out for us now, and then you have those that have an appearance of godliness, a form of godliness, and deny the power thereof, and those others that also, that refuse to help them thereof, and it is unto the accordance thereof.

So then you go to Law of Moses 106, and in the name of God, though gracious, though merciful, for the security of Quarysh, their security during winter and summer journeys, let them worship the Lord of this house, who has fed them against hunger, and has secured them against fear. See, when you follow our Lord, he is the one who provides, just as he had pity on the people that followed him up to the mountain, and he would sit there and fed them, and made sure, as with all things, that they had whatever they need. Our God is like that always, faith, because he makes his reign to fall on the just and the unjust, both are alike in his sight, though he does differentiate, he does not regard them both equally, but when it comes to his graciousness and his mercy, mercifulness, he is the sustainer of life, and in this we do recognize that it is not based, assistance is not based upon need, or personal greed, or rather it is on the God above, who reckons each in his love, and so knowing more of this God that we serve, helps us to be more like him.

See, we are to follow him, and to be more like him, and that is what this whole journey is all about. See, Moses did not just stay down at the bottom of the mountain with two broken tablets, and some people who worshipped false idols, nor did he stay there with the golden calf, worshipping the calf too in perpetuity, no, rather the calf was destroyed, and he went back up on the mountain to hear from the Lord, and came back again with two more tablets down for the people, not saying that this is the tablets of the law, but this is a picture of what Moses in fact did, and later it is called Manoahs prophecy at first we had thought, because an angel appeared to a man named Manoah, and he gave him the law, not the law, but he gave him a word from the Lord, and finally Manoah built an altar, it says in the book of the judges that Manoah built an altar, and the angel ascended up in his dream of fire, and Manoah built that altar to the Lord, and perhaps it could have been Moses prophecy, who knows how old it was, regardless of who the writer is, however when you go through this, you will notice how it says we and us, and our Lord here is speaking at times, so when there is question about the identity of a person, whether it is Moses or Manoah, rather we should go to the Lord, for he is our identity, and he is our security in all places, whether wherever we find ourselves in, and just as how he is called the God who provides, he is always our provider in every place, and under all times, and then we go to Andrew and somehow you may know that the house of the Lord, there is provision indeed, and it is right hands are blessings forevermore, sometimes without it we do tend to get a little bit quarrelish, but that is why he understands there all the time my friends, and so it is, so it is in his love, just as without an abundance of paternal affection, that we may feel fear at times, which is we go to Our Father without something, because there are some people who have not that natural love in their heart, not the love as of God, those people who remember everything, every wrong done to them, just as our Lord had said about the Moabites, and so this is what we talk about here in the name of God, the gracious, the merciful, have you not considered how your Lord dealt with the people of the elephant, did he not make their plan go wrong, he sent against them swarms of birds, throwing at them rocks of baked clays, leaving them like chewed up leaves, the people of the elephant, elephants if you remember have long memories, they remember everything, and just as how he says that there are, in the beginning of the prophecy, be despicable apes, that there are those who forget that how God is good to them, and so he tells the organs to turn these people over to their, what I said, a vile affection, or people that have forgotten that their God is, is over all, and so just as the animals give reckon that our Lord is God, but yet some people have forgotten that they have no remembrance surely, and so there are people that remember everything since the world began, and how is our God there to provide, well you know, that where Elijah was, where God fed him with ravens, by the book, but yet God can use those same birds to bring either love in this world and care, or else he can also send a judgment wherever he will, so it is our God is there all along, and when did, when did, when did Elijah minister, if you remember it was back during the times of the prophets of Baal, and if you remember anything about Baal, Baal was a certain trial at a certain point in his life, and some of them as Nathan the prophet would have said, it existed well into the reign of Solomon, and so we have an issue there of spiritual idolatry, and of leaving, and the departure from the Lord, how is our God still good, even to those that depart from him, is he always going to be a good God to everyone all along, or is he eventually going to put his foot down, and say enough is enough, you do not talk anyhow, you do not live anyhow, and you come into my presence, and so our God is the God of also judgment, in the name of God, this is 104, in the name of God, the gracious, the merciful, word to every slanderer, backbiter, who gathers wealth and counts it over, thinking that his wealth has made him immortal, by no means he will be thrown into the crusher, and what will make you realize what the crusher is, God's kindled fire that laps to the hearts, it closes in on them in extended columns, see our God is good all the time, but yet he is also holy and righteous thereby, and so we would have to figure what is it that our Lord has done said, there is certain times in this life where we would have need of understanding more about him than we actually do, and this is one of the times where his judgment makes us wish that we knew no more about him, and on some people he does send a judgment, and just as he is holy and righteous, so he understands each and everything perfectly, thus we would have needed to remember how good our is for this world, and it speaks back to who gathers wealth and counts it over, just as our God had said to that man who had so much riches in this world, and gathered everything he owned into bonds, and he said one night you fool, your soul will be accounted of you, because our God is not someone who is as that rich man who gathers his worldly wealth into a barn, no rather he sends forth the reapers to the end of the world, he gathers his sheaves, he green leans the grapes out of his vineyard, he tends it with care, he is the almighty father who prunes and trims the hedges, he makes them but to produce more, and then when the harvest comes he sends forth his reapers towards the end of the world, he might have different people there at times who come, and he pays each of them a fair wage, regardless of how long you have gone out in the day, each got what they were agreed upon, so therefore our God shows order in the madness, peace in the nonsense, and he it is who keeps us all wherever we be, or whatever our conditions may actually be, so then knowing that our God is a consuming fire, let us draw near to him now
