Exodus 23
Exodus 23:1 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the
wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
-
Raise = utter, or take up = Sin, Trespass,
Iniquity, unjust, unfairness, sin in its nature
as deceitful, dishonesty, that which is not
equal and right, unfairness in dealings.
-
Exodus 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the
Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold
him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
-
The wicked = a wicked one
2 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a
cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
-
DO NOT FOLLOW A MULTITUDE TO DO EVIL
-
Most of the evil doers have already sold their
birthright for $15.00 an hour = to do evil
-
Evil-injury = Sin, Trespass, Iniquity, wicked,
injurious.
-
From its root, which indicates its nature as
breaking up all that is good or desirable;
injurious to all others.
-
In Greek poneros, evil, or kakos, bad.
-
Hence especially of moral depravity and
corruption, and lewdness.
-
Evil =
English "good-for-nothing" = naughty
talking person
-
Speak = testify
-
Decline = turn away and do not follow evil
people
-
Do not listens to these stupid comedy
shows = they are false witnesses = they have
already received the
mark of Satan = they are following Satan
= most are of Satan seed
= the bad figs
-
Genesis 4:15 And the LORD said unto him,
Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance
shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD
set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him
should kill him.
-
Ezekiel 9:4 And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the
midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and
that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
-
Daniel 7:17 These
great beasts, which are four,
are
four kings, which shall arise out of the
earth.
-
Jeremiah 4:22 For my people is foolish, they
have not known me; they are sottish
children, and they have none understanding: they are
wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
-
Sottish = to be stupid
3 Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
4 If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring
it back to him again.
5 If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and
wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.
6 Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.
7 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou
not: for I will not justify the wicked.
8 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth
the words of the righteous.
9 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger,
seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
10 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits
thereof:
11 But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of
thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In
like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.
12 Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that
thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger,
may be refreshed.
13 And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no
mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.
-
Be circumspect = take heed.
-
Make no mention = A command often
disobeyed, especially in house of Saul =
Compare "Baal"
-
Hence the importance of the prophecy as
to the future in = Hosea 2:16 And it
shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that
thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no
more Baali.
-
Hosea 2:17 For I will take away the names
of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no
more be remembered by their name.
14 Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.
- Leviticus 23:4 These are the feasts of the Lord, even holy convocations, which ye
shall proclaim in their seasons.
5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at
even is the Lord's Passover.
Exodus 20:8 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
-
1 Corinthians 5:3 For I
verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already,
as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered
together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus
Christ,
5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the
flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth
the whole lump?
7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye
are unleavened. For even
Christ our Passover is
sacrificed for us:
-
Christ our Passover is
sacrificed for us = no more burn offering
-
Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge
of God more than burnt offerings.
-
Mercy = Love
-
God wants your love
-
Three = Denotes completeness, as three lines
complete a plane figure.
-
Hence, three is significant of Divine perfection
and completeness.
-
The third day completes the fundamentals of
creation-work.
-
The fourth, fifth, and sixth days are the
counterpart and repetition of the first, second,
and third, and correspond respectively.
-
The number, three, includes resurrection also;
for on the third day the earth rose up out of
the deep, and the fruit rose up out of the
earth.
15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened
bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib;
for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)
-
Abib, or Nisan = April = 14th day = The Passover
= 16th day. First fruits of Barley Harvest
presented.
-
When do we celebrate Passover?
-
March 20, 2017 = Spring Equinox (that evening)
-
Count 14 days past Spring Equinox, and that evening is the 15th day, that is
when Passover begins.
-
Passover this year is April 4, 2017
-
Count 50 days to Pentecost Day May 25, 2017
16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast
sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the
year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.
17 Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord God.
18 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither
shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.
19 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of
the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring
thee into the place which I have prepared.
21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon
your transgressions: for my name is in him.
22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will
be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and
the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the
Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their
works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.
25 And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy
water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number
of thy days I will fulfill.
27 I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou
shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.
28 And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the
Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
-
Joshua 24:12 And I sent the
hornet before you, which drave them out
from before you, even the two kings of
the Amorites; but not
with thy sword, nor with thy bow.
-
Amorites = the inhabitants of
Palestine generally, They are named instead of
the Canaanites as the inhabitants of Palestine
-
Two kings = Promise began to be fulfilled
here
-
Deuteronomy 7:20 Moreover the LORD thy God will
send the hornet among them, until they that are
left, and hide themselves from thee, be
destroyed.
-
Deuteronomy 7:21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at
them: for the LORD thy God is among you,
a mighty God and terrible.
-
Deuteronomy 7:22 And the LORD thy God will put
out those nations before thee by little and
little: thou mayest not consume them at once,
lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
-
Deuteronomy 7:23 But the LORD thy God
shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy
them with a mighty destruction, until they be
destroyed.
29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become
desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.
30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be
increased, and inherit the land.
31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the
Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the
inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before
thee.
32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if
thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.
• 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)
