ye all of it;
28 For this is my blood of the new

Milk is salvation
to those that come to the Lord as babes, after
teach the meat which is God's word.
Strong meat means you're growing in God's word,
strong meat belongeth to them that are of full
age.
Those that study My word will live,
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God.

approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to
be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
John 6:55 For my flesh is meat indeed,
and my blood is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my
blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live
by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he
shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down
from heaven: not as your
fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he
that eateth of this bread shall live for
ever.

into the mount, and be there: and I will give

receiving and "inwardly digesting" truth or the
words of God.

yet shall he live:

should come into the world.

Father which sent me, he gave
me a commandment, what I should say, and
what I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment is
life everlasting: whatsoever I speak
therefore, even as the Father said unto me,
so I speak.
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted,
that your sins may be blotted out, when the
times of refreshing shall come from the presence
of the Lord;
20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before
was preached unto you:
21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times
of restitution of all things, which God hath
spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets
since the world began.
It refers to the coming of Messiah, and was used
idiomatically for "the age to come", at the end
of that dispensation.
It would then have taken place had Israel repented.
Hebrews 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye
have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles
of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and
not of strong meat.
-
Milk of God's words is salvation, it's the first
level of teaching of God's word
-
Milk is as newborn babes,
desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may
grow thereby
-
Strong meat belongeth to them that are of full
age, growing into God's word
-
Meat is more on the second and third level of
God's word it's growing into God's word.
-
You don't want to start teaching people on a
third level until he knows about salvation.
-
John 16:12 I have yet many things to say unto
you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is
come, he will guide you into all truth: for he
shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he
shall hear, that shall he speak: and he
will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of
mine, and shall shew it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are mine:
therefore said I, that he shall take of mine,
and shall shew it unto you
-
Strong meat you are growing more in God's word.
-
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself
approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to
be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
-
1 Peter 2:1 Wherefore laying aside all malice,
and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and
all evil speakings,
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere
milk of the word, that ye may
grow thereby:
3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is
gracious.
4 To whom coming, as unto a living
stone, disallowed indeed of men, but
chosen of God, and precious,
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a
spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up
spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus
Christ.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the
scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner
stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on
him shall not be confounded.
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is
precious: but unto them which be disobedient,
the stone which the builders disallowed, the
same is made the head of the corner,
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of
offence, even to them which stumble at the word,
being disobedient: whereunto also they were
appointed.
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people;
that ye should shew forth the praises of him who
hath called you out of darkness into his
marvellous light:
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are
now the people of God: which had not obtained
mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for
he is a babe.
-
Once you teach salvation don't keep teaching
salvation, teach with meat where people will
grow into God's word.
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even
those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and
evil.
-
Strong meat means you're growing in God's word,
strong meat belongeth to them that are of full
age
-
You want to start teaching more on God's
commandments, seals, trumpets, vitals
-
Hitherto = ye were not as yet able to
bear it, Instead of supplying the ellipsis with " to bear it",
we might read "not as yet string enough".

You're not understanding the word
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
