Exo 31:13  “You are to speak to the people of Israel and say, ‘Above all you shall keep my Sabbaths, for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I, the LORD, sanctify you.

Variant spellings: Jehovah M’kaddesh

Jehovah Mekoddishkem in the Septuagint: kurios ho hagiazôn humas — the Lord that sanctifies you

Meaning and Derivation: Jehovah is translated as “The Existing One” or “Lord.” The chief meaning of Jehovah is derived from the Hebrew word Havah meaning “to be” or “to exist.” It also suggests “to become” or specifically “to become known” — this denotes a God who reveals Himself unceasingly. Mekoddishkem derives from the Hebrew word qâdash meaning “sanctify,” “holy,” or “dedicate.” Sanctification is the separation of an object or person to the dedication of the Holy. When the two words are combined — Jehovah Mekoddishkem — it can be translated as “The Lord who sets you apart.”

Further references of the name Jehovah Mekoddishkem in the Old Testament: Exd 31:13; Lev 20:8

Lev 20:8  Keep my statutes and do them; I am the LORD who sanctifies you.

Use in the Bible: In the Old Testament Qanna occurs 6 times. Qanna is first used in Exd 20:5.

Exo 20:5  You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me,

Variant spellings: Kanna

TWOT Reference: 2038b

Strong’s Reference: 7067

Qanna in the Septuagint: zêlôtês — jealous

Meaning and Derivation: Qanna is translated as “jealous,” “zealous,” or “envy.” The fundamental meaning relates to a marriage relationship. God is depicted as Israel’s husband; He is a jealous God, wanting all our praise for Himself and no one else. (cf. Exd 34:14)

Exo 34:14  (for you shall worship no other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God),

Further references of the name Qanna in the Old Testament: Exd 20:5; Exd 34:14; Deu 4:24; Deu 5:9; Deu 6:15

Deu 4:24  For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

Deu 5:9  You shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,

Deu 6:15  for the LORD your God in your midst is a jealous God–lest the anger of the LORD your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.

The Truth Project Tour 4

Who is God?

Introduction: Having explored the concept of truth itself and examined the biblical view of human nature – two basic issues that had to be settled before we could move on to the present discussion – Dr. Tackett now takes us to the eastern point of the compass and proceeds to lay the third and most important foundation of our “Truth Temple:” Theology, or that branch of study and investigation that grapples with the question, “Who is God?” Knowing God, he argues, ought to be our passion and our highest goal; for until we look upon His face, we cannot rightly know ourselves or begin to grasp the meaning of our existence in the world.

Themes: Knowing God is absolutely central to the meaning of human life, for it is only in the context of intimate, personal relationship with Him that we experience eternal life. At the same time, there is no assignment more daunting, no task more demanding, no challenge more overwhelming, than that of seeking to understand the being, nature, character, and attributes of the eternal Creator, who is Himself the ultimate source of all truth (Colossians 2:3). So impossibly huge is this endeavor that we could not hope to tackle it at all except for the fact that He has graciously revealed Himself to us in His Word. Apart from this revelation, mankind gropes and struggles in the darkness to piece together even the most flawed and rudimentary concept of God.

In line with this thought, R. C. Sproul asserts that ours is an era in which the knowledge of God has been eclipsed – not completely destroyed, but obscured and shadowed by lies and misconceptions. Given this situation, it is essential that we establish two main points: 1) that God exists; and 2) that the Bible, the vehicle of His self-revelation, is utterly reliable. Following Sproul’s lead, Dr. Tackett uses a significant portion of this tour to respond to attacks that have been leveled against God’s Word over the course of history (another aspect of the CosmicBattle). He answers the objections of Voltaire, Robert Ingersoll, and liberal theologians such as Julius Wellhausen and the members of the Jesus Seminar. He also illustrates the Bible’s historical accuracy by helping us resolved an apparent scriptural discrepancy concerning the dates of King Jehoram’s reign.

But the heart of this episode’s message hits much closer to home. For in the end, Dr. Tackett makes it clear that we cannot truly know ourselves until we have begun to know God in the fullness and richness of His multifaceted nature and character – not only as the God of mercy and grace, but also as the God who is a consuming fire, jealous for the purity of the covenant relationship (El Qanna). When this knowledge dawns upon us, we can expect two things to happen. First, the revelation of God’s character will, like a mirror, reveal things to us about ourselves, so that we, along with the prophet Isaiah, are compelled to cry, “Woe is me, for I am undone!” (Isaiah 6:5). But then secondly, as He raises us out of our despair and shows us who we are and who we can be in Him, we will be granted the gift of a new name – a whole new concept of our being, our identity, and our purpose in life with God. Once again, the fruit of this experience will be personal transformation.

Theology: The study of the existence, nature, and attributes of God. [Greek: theos (God) + logos (word)] This is the ultimate quest for each and every Christian.

It would be easier to define infinity. This tour is the final step in building our foundation.

Ultimate Source of All Truth

Colossians 2:2-3 “Christ Himself, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”

- The nature, character, being and attributes of God Himself.

- Nothing that is true can contradict the nature of God.

What is Eternal Life?

Eternal Life: To know the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom He sent to earth. A deeply personal and intimate relationship. See John 17:3.

- Scriptural emphasis on eternal life – Luke 18:18, John 3:16, John 4:13-14, John 5:24, John 5:39-40, John 6:27, John 6:54

- “Now this is eternal life …” John 17:1-3 “… that they may know you …”

What an awesome privilege we have to witness this communication between the Father and the Son.

Knowing Only?

Scripture talks about relationship

Social order

Personal communion

Objective, real, relationship

- exists between God and man

Jesus is binding up the understanding of what eternal life is in the relationship with Him.

Adam “knew” Eve and the result was a child. Jesus is talking about the same “knowing”.

John 5:39-40 (Amplified Bible)

39You search and investigate and pore over the Scriptures diligently, because you suppose and trust that you have eternal life through them. And these [very Scriptures] testify about Me!

40And still you are not willing [but refuse] to come to Me, so that you might have life.

Jesus is not demeaning Scripture here, He is telling us what we can have in Him.

Spurgeon’s Perspective

“The highest science, the loftiest speculation, the mightiest philosophy, which can engage the attention of a child of God is the name, the nature, the person, the doings, and the existence of the great God which he calls his Father.”

Paul’s Perspective
Philippians 3:8-10 (Contemporary English Version)
8Nothing is as wonderful as knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have given up everything else and count it all as garbage. All I want is Christ 9and to know that I belong to him. I could not make myself acceptable to God by obeying the Law of Moses. God accepted me simply because of my faith in Christ. 10All I want is to know Christ and the power that raised him to life. I want to suffer and die as he did,
God’s Perspective
Hosea 6:6 (Contemporary English Version)
6 “I’d rather for you to be faithful and to know me than to offer sacrifices.”
Jeremiah 9:23-24 (New Century Version)

23 This is what the Lord says:
“The wise must not brag about their wisdom.
The strong must not brag about their strength.
The rich must not brag about their money.
24 But if people want to brag, let them brag
that they understand and know me.
Let them brag that I am the Lord,
and that I am kind and fair,
and that I do things that are right on earth.
This kind of bragging pleases me,” says the Lord

- Man will never be able to know who we are until we gaze upon the face of God.

Names Have Meaning

- Names of God – El Qanna – A jealous God – Deuteronomy 4:23-24, Zechariah 8:2, Exodus 34:14

- What does it mean for God to be jealous? Isn’t jealousy a bad thing?
Deuteronomy 4:23-24 (New International Version)

23 Be careful not to forget the covenant of the LORD your God that he made with you; do not make for yourselves an idol in the form of anything the LORD your God has forbidden. 24 For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
Zechariah 8:2 (New Century Version)

2 This is what the Lord All-Powerful says: “I have a very strong love for Jerusalem. My strong love for her is like a fire burning in me.”
Exodus 34:14 (New International Version)

14 Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God

- God’s very name is jealous.

- The jealousy of the flesh says “you have something I want and I hate you for it.” The jealousy of El Qanna is a zeal that arises when sin threatens a covenant

relationship. El Qanna arose in God to the extent of the sacrifice of His only Son.

- Jacob (supplanter) changed to Israel (strives with God) Gen. 32:28

Abram (father of height) changed to Abraham (father of a multitude) Gen. 17:5

Moses (taken out of the water)

Simon (hearing) changed to Peter (rock)

Saul (demanded) changed to Paul (little)

You shall name the child John (God is gracious) Lk. 1:15

You shall name His Jesus (savior)

The Attack

2 Cor. 10:4-5

- And His Word

* accusing, demeaning

All attempts to By all powers

Voltaire (1776)

“ 100 years from my day there will not be a Bible in the earth except one that is looked upon by an antiquarian curiosity seeker.”

“It took 12 men to start Christianity; one will destroy it.”

He died in 1778. One hundred years later, Voltaire’s home was used to store Bibles and distribute them all over Europe.

Robert Ingersoll

“In 15 years, I will have this book [the Bible] in the morgue. 15 years later, Ingersoll was in the morgue. Later a pastor purchased Ingersoll’s desk and spent his life writing sermons on it.

Julius Wellhausen

Julius Wellhausen (1844-1918): A 19 th century German liberal scholar who suggested the Documentary Hypothesis (JEPD), which theorizes that the Pentateuch (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy) was not written by Moses but evolved over time and was compiled from at least four sources written by various authors. Numerous scholars have refuted the theory.

Known as the father of “Higher Criticism”

Documentary hypothesis: “JEDP”

A proponent of liberal theology.

The Jesus Seminar

Jesus Seminar: Started in 1985 in Berkley, California, by Robert Funk and thirty-five other liberal New Testament scholars. The Seminar,–which now includes about 100 members–meets twice a year to debate technical papers. At the close of debate on each agenda item, members vote using colored beads to indicate the degree of authenticity of Jesus’ words or deeds.

The Colored Beads

- red: Jesus undoubtedly said this or something very much like it (That’s Jesus!)

- pink: Jesus probably said this (Sure sounds like Jesus)

- grey: Jesus did not say this, but the ideas contained in it are close to His own (Well, maybe)

- black: Jesus did not say this; it represents the perspective or content of a later or different tradition (There’s been some mistake)

The voted and the book The 5 Gospels resulted from it.

Why So Fierce?

Heb. 4:12 – 13

Don’t be surprised when the world around us tries to rip from us the very Word of God. Even we, sometimes in our sinful nature, don’t want to listen to God’s Word. It stands in the way of self-actualization.

This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. Please improve this article by introducing more precise citations where appropriate.

The Stations list is the list of the 42 Stations or Mansions visited by the Israelites following their exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. They are crystallized in Numbers 33, but also are given at length in Exodus and Deuteronomy. Biblical commentators like St Jerome in his Epistle to Fabiola, Bede and St Peter Damian discussed them according to the Hebrew meanings of their names. Dante models the 42 chapters of the Vita Nuova on them.

Under the documentary hypothesis, the list is believed to have originally been a distinct and separate source text. In this hypothesis, it is believed that the redactor, in combining the Torah’s sources, used parts of the Stations list to fill out awkward joins between the main sources. The list records the locations visited by the Israelites, during their journey through the wilderness, after having left Egypt. Consequently, the parts which were inserted to join up the sources appear in suitable locations in the Book of Exodus and the Book of Numbers.

However, a slightly variant version of the list appears in full at Numbers 33, and several parts of the journey described in the full list, most noticeably the journey from Sinai to Zin, do not appear in the fragmented version. It is tempting to suggest that the journey from Sinai to Zin was cut out of the fragmented version due to a copying error caused by the similarity in sound of “Sinai” and “Zin”. However, as there are 42 locations in the full list, and the Israelites were said to have been in the desert for 40 years, it is possible that several locations in the full list were added to the list of destinations as a literary device. It may even be the case that both of these are true, the full list being the original on which the fragmented version was based.

Both versions of the list contain several brief narrative fragments. For example “…And they came to Elim, where there were twelve wells of water, and seventy date-palms…”. It is the matter of some debate as to how much of the narrative is part of the original text of the list, and how much is extra detail added into it by the redactor.

The situation also occurs in reverse, where some brief texts, within parts of the list, and ascribed to the redactor, are usually regarded as not being part of the list of stations, albeit without much conviction. This is particularly true for Numbers 21:14-15, which references unknown events in the lost Book of the wars of the lord, and Numbers 21:16b-18a, describing the digging of the well at Beer.

What follows is a list of the various stops of the Israelites on the Stations Lists, which are also links to the respective underlying articles. The biblical reference is given in the next column. The modern equivalents of these locations, such as are known, are given in the column at right.

Easton’s 1897 Bible Dictionary – Marah

bitterness, a fountain at the sixth station of the Israelites (Ex. 15:23, 24; Num. 33:8) whose waters were so bitter that they could not drink them. On this account they murmured against Moses, who, under divine direction, cast into the fountain “a certain tree” which took away its bitterness, so that the people drank of it. This was probably the ‘Ain Hawarah, where there are still several springs of water that are very “bitter,” distant some 47 miles from ‘Ayun Mousa.

The narrative concerning Marah in the Book of Exodus states that the Israelites had been wandering in the desert for three days without water[3]; according to the narrative, Marah had water, but it was undrinkably bitter, hence the name, which means bitterness[4]. In the text, when the Israelites reach Marah they complain about the undrinkability[5], so Moses complains to Yahweh, and Yahweh responds by showing Moses a certain piece of wood, which Moses then throws into the water, making it sweet and fit to drink[6]. There is nothing necessarily miraculous about the sweetening of the water, since there is a type of barberry which grows in the desert and has the herbal property of sweetening brackish water[7]. Biblical scholars see the narrative about Marah as having originated as an aetiological myth seeking to justify its name.

The text goes on to state that in this location, a decree and a law were made by Yahweh for the Israelites, and that Yahweh tested them[8]. However, according to textual scholars the narrative concerning the bitter water comes from the Jahwist account, while the mention of law and testing is actually part of the Elohist account; textual scholars view this as the Elohist version of the naming of Massah, since the triconsonantal root of the Hebrew word used for tested here (נסה) is very similar to that for Massah (מסה), and the later explanation of Massah[9] connects the name to the same root (נסה)[10]. The Talmud argues that the text is referring to three additional laws being added to the Noahide laws, namely that tribunals should be created, children should obey parents, and that the Sabbath should be observed[11]. In the biblical text, Yahweh also states that he would not bring any diseases upon the Israelites if they obey Yahweh’s decrees[12]; biblical scholars regard this as a redactional addition, and appears to be an attempt to distract the reader from the implication in the previous verse that laws were given by Yahweh before Sinai was reached[10].
Location

According to the Book of Exodus, the Israelites reached Marah after travelling in the Wilderness of Shur[13], while according to the stations list in the Book of Numbers, the Israelites had reached Marah after travelling in the Wilderness of Etham[14]; both biblical sources state that the Israelites were at Marah before reaching Elim[15][16]. Textual scholars regard the geographic information as deriving from two different versions of the same independent list of stations, one version being the list which takes up a chapter of the Book of Numbers, and the other version being slotted around the Marah narrative and around other narratives in the Book of Exodus and Book of Numbers, as appropriate[17]; according to this view, the latter version of this list would originally have read …and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water, then they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, …, without mentioning Marah[18].

The exact location of Marah is uncertain, as are the positions of Etham, Shur, and Elim; the identification of these locations is heavily dependent on the identification of the Biblical Mount Sinai. Traditionally, Sinai was equated with one of the mountains at the south of the Sinai Peninsula leading to the identification of Marah as Ain Hawarah, a salty spring roughly 47 miles southeast from Suez[10]. However, the majority of both scholars and religious authorities believe that this traditional identification of Sinai is inaccurate, with the suggested alternatives being in the north and centre of the Sinai peninsula, in the Hejaz, and in the north eastern Arabah; these identifications would suggest that locating Marah far to the southeast of Suez would be a substantial detour of the Israelites’ route. Consequently some scholars have proposed to identify Marah as Ain Naba, a brackish fountain located just 10 miles southeast of Suez[19], while others have proposed to identify Marah as the Small Bitter Lake (Arabic: Al Buhayrat al Murrah as Sughra) located about 20 miles north of Suez; Ain Naba is more geographically convenient if Mount Sinai is a location in the Hejaz or central Sinai Peninsula, while the Small Bitter Lake is more geographically convenient for Mount Sinai being located in the north of the Sinai Peninsula or at the north eastern Arabah.

* Massah
* Meribah

Meribah (Hebrew: מְרִיבָה‎) is one of the locations which the Torah identifies as having been travelled through by the Israelites, during the Exodus[1][2], although the continuous list of visited stations in the Book of Numbers doesn’t mention it[3]. In the Book of Exodus, Meribah is mentioned at the same time as Massah, in a context which suggests that Massah is the same location as Meribah, but other biblical mentions of Massah and Meribah, such as that in the Blessing of Moses[4][5], seem to imply that they are distinct[6][7].

The Biblical text mentions two very similar episodes that both occur at a place named Meribah. The episode recounted by the Book of Exodus features the Israelites quarreling with Moses about the lack of water, and Moses rebuking the Israelites for testing Yahweh[8]; the text states that it was on this account that the place gained the name Massah[9], meaning testing, and the name Meribah[10], meaning quarreling. The narrative in the Book of Exodus states that, on account of their thirst, the Israelites grumbled against Moses[11], so Moses, in fear for his life, appeals to Yahweh[12]; the narrative continues with Yahweh telling Moses to walk ahead of the others, and strike the rock at Horeb with his rod[13], and when Moses does this, it causes the rock to expel water[14].

The episode recounted by the Book of Numbers features the Israelites quarreling with Moses and Aaron about the lack of water and food crops[15]; the text states that Moses and Aaron responded by consulting Yahweh at the Tabernacle door, while prostrating themselves, and that Yahweh told them to take the rod, and speak to a particular rock while the people are gathered together in view of it[16]. The narrative continues with Moses following the instructions[17], which Yahweh had stated would result in water flowing from the rock[18], but Moses additionally strikes the rock, doing so twice, resulting in a strong flow of water[19].

Some textual scholars regard the two accounts as different versions of the same events at Meribah, with the version in the Book of Exodus being from the JE source, and the version in the Book of Numbers being from the Priestly Source[20][21][22]; the latter account, like the Priestly Source in general, is considered to be an attempt to supplant the JE version of the narrative, which doesn’t treat Aaron as being as important as the Aaronid writer of the Priestly Source would have liked[23].

According to these textual scholars, the JE account in the Book of Exodus, of the events at Massah and Meribah, is spliced together from two earlier source texts, namely the Jahwist and Elohist texts[24]. Textual scholars regard the Jahwist text and Elohist text as both having an account of the naming of Massah, and both having an account of provision of water, but with the accounts being spliced together in a non-straightforward manner; where the combined text reports events at Massah and Meribah[25][21], textual scholars believe that the mention of a quarrel, the testing of Yahweh, and the naming of Massah, are all part of the Jahwist text, while the extraction of water from a stone, and the naming of Meribah, are part of the Elohist text[26][21]. The Elohist account of water being provided at Meribah (מריבה) is seen by Biblical scholars as a parallel of the Jahwist’s account of the provision of water at Marah (מרה)[27][21]; in the Marah narrative is mention of Yahweh testing the Israelites, which textual scholars attribute to the Elohist account[21], and regard as the parallel of the Jahwist’s account of the naming of Massah after the testing of Yahweh by the Israelites[28].
The Death of Moses and Aaron

In the account in the Book of Numbers, but not the account in the Book of Exodus, after the water is produced, Yahweh tells Moses and Aaron that they did not trust him sufficiently to honour him, and as a consequence both Moses and Aaron would die before entering Canaan[29]. It’s unclear exactly what it was for which they were being punished, though the text does make it evident that it was just Moses who spoke to the people and who struck the rock; biblical scholars regard this as an example of the Priestly Source’s usual subtle denigration of Moses, the hero of the Shiloh priesthood (which rivalled the Aaronids). One possible reason for the punishment is that Moses had struck the rock twice, rather than just speaking to it as he had been asked to do[21]; another possibility is that he had rashly addressed the Israelites by the phrase you rebels[21]. According to Deuteronomy, which textual scholars attribute to a writer who was pro-Moses and anti-Aaron[30], the punishment was due to the lack of trust in Yahweh that had been exhibited by the Israelites, rather than by Moses[31].
Historicity

Some Biblical scholars see the narrative about Massah and Meribah as having originated as aetiological myths seeking to justify their names[21].
Location

According to the Book of Exodus, Meribah was a location in Rephidim[32], while according to the Book of Numbers, Meribah was located at Kadesh-Barnea[33]. Textual scholars attribute the difference to the different sources from which these passages derive[34], and regard both mentions of Meribah as referring to the same place[21][22]. The Septuagint and Targums deal with the issue by regarding the Meribah in the Book of Numbers as simply being a common noun, rather than a place-name, rendering Me Meribath-Kadesh as the waters of strife in Kadesh rather than as the waters of Meribah in Kadesh[22].

The identification of Rephidim is heavily dependent on the identification of the Biblical Mount Sinai, which the biblical narrative portrays the Israelites as having reached shortly after they had left Rephidim. Traditionally, Sinai was equated with one of the mountains at the south of the Sinai Peninsula leading to the identification of Rephidim as the Wadi Refayid, a location roughly 8 miles south from Jebel Musa[21]; this would make it quite difficult to equate the Meribah in Rephidim with the Meribah near Kadesh-Barnea. However, the majority of both scholars and religious authorities believe that this traditional identification of Sinai is inaccurate, with the suggested alternatives being in the north and centre of the Sinai peninsula, in the Hejaz, and in the north eastern Arabah; these identifications would fit with the situation that both biblical narratives of Meribah referring to a place in the vicinity of Kedesh-Barnea.

Lev 16:16  Thus he shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleannesses of the people of Israel and because of their transgressions, all their sins. And so he shall do for the tent of meeting, which dwells with them in the midst of their uncleannesses.
Lev 16:17  No one may be in the tent of meeting from the time he enters to make atonement in the Holy Place until he comes out and has made atonement for himself and for his house and for all the assembly of Israel.

Heb 9:7  but into the second only the high priest goes, and he but once a year, and not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people.
Heb 9:8  By this the Holy Spirit indicates that the way into the holy places is not yet opened as long as the first section is still standing
Heb 9:9  (which is symbolic for the present age). According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper,
Heb 9:10  but deal only with food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until the time of reformation.
Heb 9:11  But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation)
Heb 9:12  he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.
Heb 9:13  For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh,
Heb 9:14  how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

Lev.16:27…Suffering outside the Camp…Matthew 27:33; Hebrews 13:11, 12

Mat 27:33  And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull),

Heb 13:11  For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp.
Heb 13:12  So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood.

Lev.17:11…The Blood-the life of the flesh…Matthew 26:28; Mark 10:45

Lev 17:11  For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life.

Mat 26:28  for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Mar 10:45  For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Lev.17:11…It is the blood that makes atonement…1 John 3:14-18

1Jn 3:15  Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
1Jn 3:16  By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
1Jn 3:17  But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him?
1Jn 3:18  Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

Lev.23:36-37…The Drink-offering: "If any man thirst." …John 19:31-36

Joh 19:36  For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: "Not one of his bones will be broken."

Num. 21:9…The serpent on a pole-Christ lifted up…John 3:14-18

Num 21:9  So Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on a pole. And if a serpent bit anyone, he would look at the bronze serpent and live.

Joh 3:14  And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
Joh 3:15  that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
Joh 3:16  "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Joh 3:17  For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
Joh 3:18  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Joh 6:14  When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, "This is indeed the Prophet who is to come into the world!"

Deut. 18:15-16…"Had ye believed Moses, ye would believe me."…John 5:45-47

Deu 18:15  "The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers–it is to him you shall listen–
Deu 18:16  just as you desired of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, ‘Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God or see this great fire any more, lest I die.’

Joh 5:45  Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope.
Joh 5:46  For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me.

Deu 21:23  his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall bury him the same day, for a hanged man is cursed by God. You shall not defile your land that the LORD your God is giving you for an inheritance.

Gal 3:10  For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them."
Gal 3:11  Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for "The righteous shall live by faith."
Gal 3:12  But the law is not of faith, rather "The one who does them shall live by them."
Gal 3:13  Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us–for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree"–

Ruth 4:4-9…Christ, our kinsman, has redeemed us…Eph. 1:3-7

Rth 4:4  So I thought I would tell you of it and say, ‘Buy it in the presence of those sitting here and in the presence of the elders of my people.’ If you will redeem it, redeem it. But if you will not, tell me, that I may know, for there is no one besides you to redeem it, and I come after you." And he said, "I will redeem it."
Rth 4:5  Then Boaz said, "The day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you also acquire Ruth the Moabite, the widow of the dead, in order to perpetuate the name of the dead in his inheritance."
Rth 4:6  Then the redeemer said, "I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I impair my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption yourself, for I cannot redeem it."
Rth 4:7  Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and exchanging: to confirm a transaction, the one drew off his sandal and gave it to the other, and this was the manner of attesting in Israel.
Rth 4:8  So when the redeemer said to Boaz, "Buy it for yourself," he drew off his sandal.
Rth 4:9  Then Boaz said to the elders and all the people, "You are witnesses this day that I have bought from the hand of Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech and all that belonged to Chilion and to Mahlon.

Psa. 34:20…..Not a bone of Him broken…..Jn 19:31-36

Psa 34:20  He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken.

Joh 19:31  Since it was the day of Preparation, and so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.

Joh 19:33  But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
Joh 19:34  But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water.

Mat 26:31  Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away because of me this night. For it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
Mat 26:32  But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee."
Mat 26:33  Peter answered him, "Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away."
Mat 26:34  Jesus said to him, "Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times."
Mat 26:35  Peter said to him, "Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!" And all the disciples said the same.
Mat 26:36  Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I go over there and pray."
Mat 26:37  And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled.
Mat 26:38  Then he said to them, "My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch with me."

Mat 26:40  And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, "So, could you not watch with me one hour?
Mat 26:41  Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
Mat 26:42  Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, "My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done."
Mat 26:43  And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
Mat 26:44  So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words again.
Mat 26:45  Then he came to the disciples and said to them, "Sleep and take your rest later on. See, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Mat 26:46  Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand."
Mat 26:47  While he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people.
Mat 26:48  Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "The one I will kiss is the man; seize him."
Mat 26:49  And he came up to Jesus at once and said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" And he kissed him.
Mat 26:50  Jesus said to him, "Friend, do what you came to do." Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him.
Mat 26:51  And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.
Mat 26:52  Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword.
Mat 26:53  Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?
Mat 26:54  But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?"
Mat 26:55  At that hour Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day I sat in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me.
Mat 26:56  But all this has taken place that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples left him and fled.

Malachi 4:5…Forerunner in the spirit of Elijah… Matthew 3:1-2

Mal 4:5  "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.

Mat 3:1  In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea,
Mat 3:2  "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

Malachi 4:6…Forerunner would turn many to righteousness… Luke 1:16-17

Mal 4:6  And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with a decree of utter destruction."

Luk 1:16  And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God,
Luk 1:17  and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared."

Now, can you really have any doubt that Jesus Christ is the foretold Messiah? Jesus Christ is Lord, He is God.
