What is the New Covenant of Jesus Christ?
Replacement Theology.
Why must there be a Third Temple?
***********************************************
What is the New Covenant of Jesus Christ?
God made many covenants or solemn faithful agreements of mutual commitment, first with Adam and Eve, a commandment not to eat from the tree of good and evil but that commandment was broken. So to give a brief summary of covenants, the following are a few examples:-
Covenants with Noah (Genesis 9:9);
covenants with Abraham (Father of many nations - Genesis 15:18, Genesis 17:2, Genesis 17:4, Genesis 17:7, Circumcision - Genesis 17:10, Genesis 17:11, Genesis 17:14);
covenants with Isaac (Genesis 17:19);
covenants with Moses and Israel (the Ten Commandments - Exodus 34:27 and many ordinances);
covenants with Levi (of peace and everlasting priesthood – Numbers 25:12, 13); and etc……
Then there were many different types of covenants made between men, i.e. between Abimelech and Abraham; between David and Jonathan, and etc….. Today, we see agreements between employers and employees; agreements between different countries, marriage oaths between husband and wife, etc…..
Before Jesus came, in general there were works and unperfected faith except for a few patriarchs who had great faith. After the death and resurrection of Jesus, He aim to put faith first and foremost, where faith abounds works will follow (James 2:22, 24). Jesus came as a Lamb for Isaac (Genesis 22:8, Matthew 15:24) and a Scapegoat for Israel (Leviticus 16:21).
Jesus came only for the lost sheep of Israel, to write the Law in their hearts or inward parts (our spirit connected with the Holy Spirit of the LORD) which means they no longer serve according to the flesh but serve according to the Spirit (Jeremiah 31:33); peoples from other nations and tongues are basically just dogs to Him, BUT if we Gentiles have faith in HIM, HE will not destroy us as God will remember HIS covenant with NOAH who was a Gentile. So we must REMEMBER the covenant He made with Noah and FOLLOW it.
But what is the New Covenant? (Hebrews 8:13)(Jeremiah 31:33)
In order to answer the question, you must look at what was the “OLD” covenant (Hebrews 9:4)(Jeremiah 31:32), we need to look inside the “Ark of the Covenant” – The Ten Commandments written on tables of stone, Aaron's rod that budded and a pot of manna. It would be great to find the actual "Ark of the Covenant" that was made during the time of Moses, and it would be a very great miracle indeed if the manna inside the Ark has not already DECAYED or the Bud from the Rod of Aaron has not already shrivelled or turned into dust. I am not indicating that miracles do not happen as miracles actually often do happen everywhere and at anytime but we are now merely examining the meaning of Hebrews 8:13
In the days of old, a person will drop dead on the spot if he touched the “Ark” even if by accident. Such harsh scare tactics did not work then to promote faith, neither will it do any good for us now.
That is why the LORD Himself had to make a new covenant with Israel, not with an “Ark of the Covenant” that will instill fear but a new covenant of love that will make its contents grow with faith in the hearts of all of Israel.
Remembering and faithfully following the Law of Moses in their hearts, like the dead rod Aaron that budded, so will the dead souls of men come alive and flourish and bud and flower with the gentle beauty and might of the HOLY SPIRIT of the LORD. The pot of manna from heaven where the WORD of the LORD is the manna from Heaven that the LORD will continually provide before all of Israel, Jehovahjireh !!!.
So, did Jesus come to destroy the Law of Moses? NO, He came to fulfil it – (Matthew 5:17)
Matthew 15:24
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
James 2:22
Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
James 2:24
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Genesis 22:14
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
Matthew 5:17
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Genesis 22:8
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
Luke 4:29
And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
Leviticus 16:10
But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.
Leviticus 16:21
And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:
Leviticus 16:22
And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
Numbers 25:12
Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
Numbers 25:13
And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.
Jeremiah 31:31
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jeremiah 31:32
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
Jeremiah 31:33
But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jeremiah 31:34
And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Hebrews 8:7
For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
Hebrews 8:9
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
Hebrews 8:10
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
Hebrews 8:13
In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
Hebrews 9:1
Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.
Hebrews 9:4
Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
Hebrews 10:16
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

Replacement Theology.
Replacement Theology or Supersessionism, where the Gentile Church supersedes or replaces Israel, preached by the Roman Catholic and many Christian Churches has turned all the ordinances, statutes and commandments of the LORD of Hosts, Words spoken by Jesus of Nazareth, the original meaning/purpose of Jesus’s ministry and the Blood of the New Covenant shed by Jesus Christ into TOTAL SACRILEGE and ABOMINATION.
When is a Jew not a Jew?
When replacement theology tells a gentile that he is a Jew but in reality he is not a Jew. (Revelation 3:9)
When replacement theology tells a gentile that he is a Jew but in reality he is not a Jew. (Revelation 3:9)
(Can you possibly tell a black man that he is white? You can “say” all you want that he is white but you only need to look at his face to know that he is not because he is “born” black. - “……….blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not……..,” – you have to be born a Jew, a Gentile cannot go around telling people that he is a Jew.)
Most early Church elders agree that the Roman Catholic Church (is a system of ideas and false ordinances to replace Israel) was indeed the “little horn” of Daniel 7:8 (The Vatican is both spiritual and political Kingdom) as the Roman Catholic Church stayed in power for almost 1260 years after the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 AD.
Daniel 7:8 | "I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things." |
“To the church in Smyrna
Revelation 2:9 | "I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan." |
“To the church in Philadelphia
Revelation 3:9 | Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. |
Revelation 13:3 | And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. |
What the Protestant Reformation did was to reveal the faults of the Roman Catholic Church and declare the Pope who was the “head” of the Roman Catholic Church as the Antichrist, manage to wound one of the heads of the beast but according to Revelation 13:3 but “his deadly wound was healed” because the Protestant Reformation only reduced the idolatry and practices of the Roman Catholic Church; it did not restore the message of Jesus of Nazareth to its original form (remove the replacement theology) nor did it attempt to restore the times and seasons observations (Daniel 7:25) that the Roman Catholic Church had changed from Judaism and the Law of Moses. As such, their overall system is still basically considered under the same “head” and under the same beast.
Daniel 7:25 | "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time." |
The Protestant Reformation also paved the way to further anarchy by opening the door of misinterpretation of the Bible in the hands of individuals, who then proceed to set up hundreds of denominations and cults as they further reduce and dilute the message of Jesus of Nazareth to sometimes practically a “one verse theology”; i.e. “You need to believe in Jesus in order to be saved”. This is perfectly a good line and it is true but you are saved by predestination (Romans ).
You are not saved just because at one point in time in your life you declared that believed in Jesus. You are saved because you were born saved whether you are a Jew or a Gentile but you became spiritually dead and lost in the world system of Babylon
Romans 9:11 | "(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)" |
Luke 19:9 | "And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham." |
Luke 19:10 | "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." |
Those tares are born tares, they are born unsaved and no matter what amount of sympathy or correction or help are given to a tare/goat, HE WILL REMAIN UNREPENTANT in his life and whatever a tare does he will only do it for himself – for example, the people in his life are merely tools for him to use (for example, trainers who recruit and execute suicide bombers to take human lives), once those tools cease to be of use or become old and worn out, he would throw them out. Women are merely sex objects to these people to satisfy their carnal animalistic lusts and are baby making machines to them (sounds like Prophet Muhammad’s “heaven”). That is why the kingdoms of the earth as described in the Book of Daniel and Revelation are liken unto “BEASTS”. Where humans have become like animals taking whatever they want and do whatever they like without subjecting themselves to conscience or consequence.
(But the Kingdom of God
The Tare REFUSES to be subjected to the TRUTH and OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST. He is selfish and a liar. Repentance is considered weakness in the eyes of a tare/goat. Although many tares try to blend into the characters of the wheat, when they try to read the Bible, run a business, get married and start a family, and etc; but when harvest time is near, you will see that all tares normally destroys what they attempt to create. They will destroy their family, their businesses, their church and what ever they touch they either knowingly or unknowingly attempt to sow the seed of destruction to other people. These people have temporal powers (from the devil - John – “Ye are of your father the devil,……..”) of charms and enigmatic presence through their deceitful speeches and empty promises (i.e. Adolf Hitler).
There are some Christian Churches
It means to them that all the Covenants that the LORD made with His people from NOAH to the last prophet of Israel
It means that they can conveniently do anything and everything that they want or desire because Christ died for them and that they are “saved” no matter what they do. This is Antichrist theology.
The LORD’s covenant with Noah tells us not to kill another person, not to eat an animal with blood or while its still alive and etc. Cold blooded killers and those who drink blood would love to join any Christian or Roman Catholic Church that preaches replacement theology.
Matthew 23:15 | "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves." |
Matthew 23:15 is a prophecy of Jesus most suited to the Roman Catholics and Protestant preachers that go around the world by land and sea to make converts and in the end, the converts become “twofold more the child of hell than themselves”. I do not remember since the beginning of the First Jewish Temple until now that the Jews ever went sailing around the world to convert other people to Judaism. With the Jews it is always the other way round, God fearing Gentiles usually come to Temple Jerusalem
Some preachers would pick several verses they like most (while throwing out the rest of the Bible) to use as their preaching mantra and make altar calls for “goats” and sheep alike to join in the fold as they declared them “saved” in the name of Jesus. They would ask, “Do you believe in Jesus?” If anyone says “yes”, the preacher will automatically tell him or her that they are saved. Did not the Bible say that even the Devil believe in God and tremble? This type of preaching only serves to recruit goats into a make believe heaven and does nothing to build up the lives of the sheep!!! While the goats thinking that they are saved, continue on with their rampage of “unrighteousness” to destroy their own lives as well as bewildering the sheep.
This goes without saying many individuals who read the Bible and think of themselves as the “Lord God Almighty”…………………………
Then there are hundreds if not thousands of speaking in tongues persons that have been told by their “holy spirit” while speaking in tongues or while meditating, that they are one of the “two witnesses of Revelation chapter 11”.
Almost every speaking in tongues pastor thinks that they are the prophet Elijah………. and they interpret Revelation - “Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” as their speaking in tongues “spirit” prophesying.
Revelation 19:10 | "And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." |
What the Angel of the Lord said in Revelation 19:10 actually meant was that he was also a fellow servant no different from those who preach the Gospel or Testimony of Jesus of Nazareth, i.e. the twelve disciples of Jesus (as he was speaking to John who one of the Disciples of Jesus) and subsequent preachers chosen by the Lord. The meaning of the phrase, “testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy”, is that whatever Jesus said or did during His three and a half years ministry, was in a form of prophecy. His WORDS were a double edged sword and twofold in meaning, both speaking to the people of His during His time and also He was actually outlining future events as well. Some of the things that Jesus said were not relevant to His time AT ALL resulting in many people including His own Disciples pondering and whispering among themselves what Jesus could have meant. The LORD gave His life as an example for us to follow.
(For those men who have children, what would be the easiest way to teach your child? By showing your child an example through your own actions and using your hands to carry your child to sit on the miniature toilet bowl or do you think that by shouting instructions across the room while you are sitting in your armchair reading newspaper or writing a 100 page lecture on how to use the toilet bowl is going to help potty train your little child?).
Your Heavenly Father came down to earth to train His Children Himself. He represented Israel
- ORIGIN OE “martir”, via eccles. L. from Greek “martur” means “witness” (in Christian use, “martyr”)
Whosoever witness for Christ must be prepared for martyrdom. Although most of you today will escape martyrdom but there were many followers of Jesus who stood fast to the truth for the past 2000 years and were burnt at the stake and subjected to torture because of their beliefs. John the Baptist spent years in the desert wilderness to prepare for his witnessing duties.
Luke 9:23 | "And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me." |
Matthew 16:25 | "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it." |
1 John 3:16 | "Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren." |
Today, for those evangelists, priests and pastors who think that testifying for the Word of God is just a means to pass your time, well think again!!! Unless you are called by the LORD Most High to do His bidding and you sincerely desire the serve the LORD wholeheartedly; otherwise it is better for you to change your vocation.
Isaiah 53:10
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
There are many verses in the Bible that was not only referring to Jesus but also to Israel and to the Prophets of Israel, for example, Isaiah 53:10 cannot be wholly referring to Jesus of Nazareth because He did not get married and have children – “see his seed, he shall prolong his days”; although Jesus did offer up HIS SOUL as an offering for sin.
I have come across so many evangelists, preachers, pastors that are basically unbelievers of Jesus Christ because they do not believe anything that was written in the Bible. Some became pastors because it was their family members’ tradition; some became evangelists because of easy money; while some are in this “business” because they simply do not know what else to do; some are forced into being an evangelist by friends or family members who thought that they might be able to turn that “goat” of theirs into a sheep eventually, hoping that the years of holding on to a Bible in his hands might actually rub off on him.
Revelation 19:20 | "And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone." |
To all false prophets, false pastors, false evangelists, etc…………..
It is time for you to stop your “church ministry” and become a farmer or keep cattle. (Zechariah 13:2-5) Go and plant a vineyard or set up a corn plantation. Either you stop now or get ready to be thrown into a lake of fire; do not deceive people with your false humility as you cover your errors with much pizzazz coupled with signs and wonders.
For every miracle that Jesus of Nazareth did, the false Jesus that you are worshipping aims to replicate the miracles. The miracle that false prophets do are not from the Lord Most High, as it is merely a counterfeit Jesus working through them that has taken the place of the real HOLY SPIRIT; because of their replacement theology, they have also replace the Jewish Jesus with a Liberal Jesus.
Zechariah 13:2 | And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land. |
Zechariah 13:3 | And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth. |
Zechariah 13:4 | And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive: |
Zechariah 13:5 | But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth. |
Top 5 most infamous mistakes of the Christian Church about the Bible: -
i) Throw away the “old testament” portion of the Bible.
ii) Replacement Theology thinking that the Christian Church has replaced Israel
iii) Christians thought that 2000 years ago, Jesus and His Disciples were talking to a Christian audience. NO, Jesus and His Disciples were talking to all of Israel
iv) Christians thought that the 12 Disciples and those who believed were the first “Christians”. No, they were Torah observant Jews and Gentiles who accepted the message/Testimony of Jesus. They bear no resemblance at all to the so-called “Christians” that we see today.
v) Christians thought that Jesus died for the every single person on earth, which would imply that Jesus died for the “tares” and “goats” but He did not. Tares and goats (a form of “antichrist”) are complete opposite of the “wheat” and “sheep”. Tares despises all godly traits in man; tares are disobedient to God, common law and parents – i.e. they are lawlessness; deceivers and liars – i.e. wolves in sheep’s clothing, pretending to be good Christians but within their hearts are emptiness for they bear no fruits of their own. They are lovers of the material world and of themselves. (1st John 2:15-16)
King Solomon though how wise he was; subjected Himself to the sins and desires of the flesh and idolatry with so many wives and concubines, which ultimately brought down his kingdom. Although I do not think that King Solomon was a tare but be careful, lest even a sheep maybe severely tempted with the lusts of this material world that he may fall into sin continually.
John 8:44 and John 8:47, Jesus was prophesying about the future corrupt church and well as to the listeners at the temple who were mostly mixed with many false converts to Judaism (antichrists 1st John 2:18) and corrupt leaders selected by the Roman Empire. You usually read of “division” on whether Jesus is from God or not, among the people at the temple whenever Jesus was talking. You seldom read about Jesus scolding the Jews in this manner when He was preaching at the countryside and small towns because they are mainly all Jews. The whole country accepted Jesus when they celebrated His Triumphant entry into Jerusalem on a Donkey.
1st John 2:15 | Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. |
1st John 2:16 | For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. |
1st John 2:17 | And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. |
1st John 2:18 | Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. |
1st John 2:19 | They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. |
1st John 2:20 | But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. |
John 8:42 | Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. |
John 8:43 | Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. |
John 8:44 | Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. |
John 8:45 | And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. |
John 8:46 | Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? |
John 8:47 | He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. |
1st John 4:4 | Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. |
1st John 4:5 | They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. |
1st John 4:6 | We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. |
For example, what Jesus mentioned in John 15:18, He was talking to the Jews first and foremost. Later on after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, it also applied to those who followed Jesus and some God fearing gentiles who worshipped at the temple in Jerusalem. What nation or people that are hated the most in this world? Israel and the Jews!! because the world hated Jesus first ! It means that if you hate Israel, it implies directly that you also hate Jesus of Nazareth !!!
John 7:7
The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
John 15:18
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
Does the world unanimously hate Christians or Catholics? Not so much as they are more irritated than hated because even Christians hate Christians !!! This is absolutely ridiculous.
Anyone who does evil hates the Truth and hates the Law because Jesus declares the Truth and gives us the Law.
The Law convicts the evil doer and sentences the evil doer to hell.
The evil doer hates Israel because Israel is the Servant of LORD who PROCLAIMS of the Law of the LORD.
The Law reveals the SINNER, for all sinners be it Jews or Gentiles are convicted by the law . But if we keep the word of God which is the Law of God with obedience and love, we are sanctified and perfected in God through FAITH that we sin no more. (Jeremiah 31:34)
Romans 3:20
"Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin."
Romans 3:31
"Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law."
1 John 2:5
"But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him."
Hebrews 10:14
"For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified."
(Hebrews 10:26 to 30) For those who sin WILFULLY after receiving the Faith and Knowledge of Jesus Christ, no amount of sacrifice for sins be it 1000 bulls or rams or endless $$$$$ monetary donations to the Temple or Church can save you. You would have to try to beg for mercy at the feet of Jesus Christ depending on what kind of sin that you have committed. It all depends on the Judgement of the LORD.
Hebrews 10:26
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Hebrews 10:27
But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
Hebrews 10:28
He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
Hebrews 10:29
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
Hebrews 10:30
For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
Matthew 8:4 | And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. |
In Matthew 8:4, Jesus advised the person that He had healed to go to the temple to offer a gift after he had been cleansed according to the Law of Moses.
So, we know that Jesus did not do away with the Law of Moses, so which covenant did He come to renew?
In modern days, for example in a lawyer’s office, if an agreement expires, they would set forth to renew the same agreement or write another new agreement to replace the old one. But what if there are 100 different agreements on a table (trade agreements, tenancy agreements, shareholders agreements, business contracts, and etc) and the office manager says, “Cancel that agreement and write a new agreement”. Would you know which one to cancel? Of course not. Would you sweep all 100 agreements down the rubbish bin? Of course not, unless you want to get fired.
What you normally do is ask for the specific details of which agreement that was referred to. It can be a date, a number, a title or who are the people who signed the agreement, in order to single out that particular agreement for renewal. (Jeremiah 31:31-33)
Today, agreements are signed and sealed in ink, but in days of old, whenever the LORD makes a covenant with His people, he sealed it in blood. That is why there was always an animal sacrifice immediately following a covenant made. For example, the LORD taught Noah, Abraham and Moses how to prepare for an animal sacrifice to seal their agreement. So, when Jesus came to renew one of His own covenants, He sealed it with His own blood.
Numbers 23:19-20 basically means that the LORD holds true to what HE says or do and HE does not break promises. This does not mean that GOD cannot take the FORM of a man as in Jesus of Nazareth.
“God is not a man, that he should lie” is talking about His “divine nature that He does not tell lies” like a FALLEN MAN does, even the “son of man” that he should repent. Even Kings, Priests and Prophets or “son of man” are subject to repentance but not GOD.
GOD is basically A MAN OF HIS WORD, HE does not break HIS promises – “……….hath he said, and shall he not do it?........”.
Today’s men and women – are you a “man” of “your word”? The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Temptation comes to the weakened flesh that lacks spiritual awakening but if the Spirit is strong with much watchfulness and prayer, the flesh is strengthened that we fall not into temptation. Such was the life of Jesus of Nazareth that He never sinned although He was tempted because GOD is Spirit and the Holy Spirit of the LORD MOST HIGH is Almighty (Isaiah ) and that is why we also shall overcome the world and the weaknesses of our flesh because the Lord said, "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." (1st John 4:4)
Numbers | God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? |
Numbers | Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. |
Matthew 26:41 | Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. |
John 4:24 | God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. |
Isaiah 7:15 | Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. |
Why must there be a Third Temple?
Jesus meant for a literal Temple ONE . (Zechariah 14:9) The Gentile Church must be grafted back into the true vine Israel.
Zechariah 14:9 | And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. |
Matthew 23:8 | But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. |
Matthew 23:9 | And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. |

Times and seasons, ordinances and commandments and statutes given in the Bible for running a Temple Temple Celebrations
Hebrews 7:27 | Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. |
Why should we reinstate animal sacrifice? The same reason as Noah or Abraham even though they were chosen and saved through faith in the Lord Most High.
The animal sacrifice is not so much as for the remission of “individual sins” (Hebrews ) because the LORD have forgiven us on “individual basis” (Jeremiah 31:34, “…………..saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”) but for the sins of this fallen world that still exists. There are many types of animal sacrifices, of thanksgiving and etc. You can choose to tithe grain and other items for the Lord at the Temple
We are basically still living in a fallen world (Revelation 22:15) where there are evil doers but we do not just kill them off without reason because we are not murderers; because if we kill, we may uproot the wheat as well at the same time, so we have to wait for natural death to come upon them when angels of death will harvest their souls to where they belong and until the end of another thousand years when the world fully reverts back to the pureness of origins of the Garden of Eden before the fall, when Adam and Eve were first vegetarians, then there would not be any need for animal sacrifice. In the meantime, lets barbeque!!!
Revelation 22:15 | For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. |
At the end of the seven thousand years on earth, mankind will not need to sacrifice animals anymore and they will be vegetarians again.
Psalms 19:8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. |
Hebrews 7:11 | If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? |
The LORD desires elevate and purify the nature and office of the Levitical priesthood not only to serve the LORD because by LAW He must but to serve the LORD because he delights in doing so.
The Law is made to serve men, and not men merely serving the Law – “…………...after the order to Melchizedek……………..”.
The LORD Most High will guide the Levitical priests in discernment and judgment in what is holy and what is profane.
(Ezekiel 44:24) They shall judge according to the controversial standards of the New Covenant of the LORD Most High (Jesus of Nazareth).

Ezekiel 44:24 | And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths. |

Malachi 3:5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts. | |
Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. | |

Malachi 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. |
Malachi 4:4
Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel
