Posted: Mon Nov 13, 2006 3:16 am Post subject: Counsil for the Holy Annointing Oil |
|
|
What a ecclectic mix to follow .... whatever the tangents our basics are around Kaneh Bosm and Anointing, now see through the fog -
Ancient ministry scribes, modern computer abstrative matches and presto .... a MO for HAO
Aladdins Lamp - the Genie
The Mystery of Light Lamps duration - a burning oil !!!
Deep Fried Shrimp - wow !!!
In antiquity oils as balm soothed the largest organ know to man, the skin - feet particularly. Greasy hair the primordial oil. Tricomes are a plants oil. Real happy balmers the ancients were. Ahhhhhhh tradition.
Out of it all comes a period of Holy Annointing Oil, such a development from the Cadikists, the, a, life's, mana for eating (browines based on residual palnt matter after milking for oils) and pristine oil to heal (cure even) diabetes and other symptoms and offer the psycotropical exestential voyage.
There is a history to view in the bringing forward of oil. How we have a huge dicotomy between Annointing and cooking and burning oils, now, is what the counsil will consider and try recommend understandings and a HAO and mana convention, not buds, convention as a future ..
Bud conventions for the gardner's side of course, but the principbles and properties of the oils is where our intrests should stay and the sub domain gardening be pointed at what THC is developed and why and how does it "work" better medicinaly or psycotropicly. _________________

The Messengers up to Mani
Jesus of light was the first of the messengers sent to redeem humanity from the ensnarement of the flesh and of Darkness, being entrusted with special knowledge, or revelation (not to be confused with Jesus of Nazareth, who comes later. This is the Jesus of light referred to earlier). His role as redeemer is continued in the world as the Great Nous, intelligence, which emanated from him (according to Klimkeit, the deity emanated from the Living Spirit). This Nous is the source of the message that all the worlds true religious leaders brought. He is the father of all apostles on earth. The human soul, i.e., the trapped Light Elements (air, wind, light, water, fire), is adorned by the Great Nous with his five limbs or sons, the hypostases of the five attributes of the Kingdom of Light (intelligence, knowledge, reason, thought, and deliberation), which in turn engender the five virtues (love, faith, contentment, patience, and wisdom) in the soul. These virtues aid the human soul in withstanding the attack from the Kingdom of Darkness and its attempt to perpetuate the existence of Light in the world. The presence of this divine intelligence is witnessed in a line of perfect men: Seth, Noah, Abraham, Shem, Nikotheos, Enoch, as well as Buddha, Zoroaster, and Jesus the Messiah. The last and most perfect of these is Mani, whose teaching was imparted to directly by the Jesus if Light.(Lieu 1985:1
Such knowledge, once known by the human soul, does not bring about immediate salvation. It is a constant battle between the soul and the forces of Darkness. The Dark constantly tries to lull humanity into slipping back into sin and worldliness. Mani calls this the struggle between the 'Old Man' of the world and the 'New Man' of the light. (Language borrowed from Paul, referenced in Lieu 1985:1 It is through forgetfulness that the soul sins. Therefore, it becomes a constant, diligent process, ever mindful of the dangers of this world, to reach the Kingdom of Light in the Future Moment. Sin is therefore an act of forgetfulness, not an act of violation.

Waiter - is the Wine, Kaneh Bosm, 1000 B.C. here yet ? Yes add it to my American Express Thanks !!!
http://cannabis.net/articles/jesus-cannabis.html
Ancient wines were always fortified, like the "strong wine" of the Old Testament, with herbal additives: opium, datura, belladonna, mandrake and henbane. Common incenses, such as myrrh, ambergris and frankincense are psychotropic; the easy availability and long tradition of cannabis use would have seen it included in the mixtures. Modern medicine has looked into using cannabis as a pain reliever and in treating multiple sclerosis. It may well be that ancient people knew, or believed, that cannabis had healing power. _________________

|

Whoooops, sorry - translation error. It's Kaneh Bosm not Calamus.
But remember also, snake venom is used to build tolerence and some other "toxins" are used in surgery - a fine line.
Totaly safe Kaneh Bosm - worst case, a slight to heroic hallucination.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_Flag
http://www.inchem.org/documents/jecfa/jecmono/v16je04.htm
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Asarone&btnG=Google+Search
ß-ASARONE
Explanation
ß-asarone and calamus have not previously been evaluated by the
Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives.
ß-asarone (cis-isomer of 2,4,5-trimethoxy-l-propenylbenzene) is a
constituent of oil of calamus, a flavouring agent derived from the
dried rhizome of Acorus calamus Linn. The ß-asarone content of
calamus oils varies with source of the plant. Indian Acorus calamus
from the Jammu area is tetraploid and yields an oil containing
approximately 75% ß-asarone; Acorus calamus from Kashmir is hexaploid
and yields an oil containing approximately 5% ß-asarone (Vashist &
Handa, 1964). The European variety of the plant is diploid and also
yields an oil with approximately 5% ß-asarone (Larry, 1973). Normally,
only the oil of the diploid variety is used for flavouring aromatic
alcoholic beverages (Usseglio-Tomasset, cited in Larry, 1973). The
roots and rhizomes of Acorus calamus have been used in the Ayurvedic
system of medicine for treating a variety of diseases such as epilepsy
add hysteria (Madan et al., 1960).
BIOLOGICAL DATA
BIOCHEMICAL ASPECTS
Absorption, distribution and excretion
A small amount of ninhydrin-positive material was excreted in the
urine of rats following administration of ß-asarone in doses of
75-300 mg/kg bw i.p. Trans-asarone yielded 10-15 times the amount
found with the cis-isomer in the same doses. The substances were not
identified but were postulated to require the presence of the allyl or
propenyl double bond for formation (Oswald et al., 1969). Similar
ninhydrin-positive materials excreted after the administration of
safrole were later identified as tertiary amino propiophenones (Oswald
et al., 1971).
TOXICOLOGICAL STUDIES
Special studies on microbes and insects
An essential oil of Acorus calamus, with an asarone content of
approximately 80%, showed an in vitro antitubercular action and
inhibited the growth of gram-negative organisms. The oil was also
toxic to flies (Chapra et al., 1957). ß-asarone had an anti-gonadal
action on the insect Dysdereus koenigii; it did not act as a
juvenile hormone nor as an antiallatotropic compound (Saxena et al.,
1977).
Special studies on mutagenicity
ß-asarone, at concentrations of 2-200 µg/plate, was not mutagenic
in the Ames test with Salmonella typhimurium strains TA-98, TA-100,
TA-1535, TA-1537, and TA-1538 with metabolic activation. Activity
without metabolic activation was apparently not tested (Hsia et al.,
1979).
alpha-asarone was inactive in the Ames test (Salmonella
typhimurium TA) with and without activation at concentrations of
50 ppm and 5000 ppm (0.005 and 0.5%). In a similar study with
ß-asarone, ß-asarone was inactive at the 50 ppm (0.005%) level, but
was active at the 5000 ppm (0.5%) level with activation (Yabiku,
1980),
Special studies on pharmacology
The distilled volatile oil of roots and rhizomes of an Indian
variety of Acorus calamus, in doses of 20-100 mg/kg bw, (1)
prolonged sleeping time with pentobarbital, hexabarbital and ethanol
in mice, (2) lowered body temperature in mice, (3) increased the
toxicity of Metrazole in rats, and (4) had no effect on amphetamine
toxicity in aggregated mice but potentiated the action of reserpine in
reducing amphetamine toxicity in this circumstance. In anaesthetized
cats, doses of 1-32 mg/kg bw decreased blood pressure and increased
heart rate. The blood pressure was not affected by carotid occlusion,
atropinization, adrenergic or ganglionic blockage or spinal
preparation. Treatment with the oil dilated blood vessels of the
splanchnic area in cats and constricted the vessels of the frogs hind
leg. The oil prevented the action of acetylcholine, histamine, and
barium chloride on isolated guinea-pig ileum (Dandiya & Cullumbine,
1959). The hypnotic-potentiating action of Indian Acorus oil was only
partially blocked by LSD in contrast to the potentiating action of
reserpine which was completely blocked. Mice treated with Acorus oil,
50 mg/kg i.p., become ataractic (sedated without any marked decrease
in awareness); combined treatment with iproniazed and Acorus oil
resulted in excitation (Dandiya et al., 1959b). The volatile oil of
European Acorus calamus had a similar hypnotic-potentiating effect
to that of the Indian oil (Dandiya et al., 1959a).
The essential oil of Indian Acorus calamus had a quinidine-like
action in combating auricular fibrillation and flutter and ventricular
fibrillation in anaesthetized dogs and in preventing or abolishing
veratrine action on isolated frog muscle. It protected against
electrically induced seizures but not Metrazol seizures in the rat
(Madan et al., 1960).
Pretreatment with Indian Acorus oil had a reserpine-like action
in depleting rat brain of noradrenaline and 5-hydroxy-tryptamine
(Malhotra et al., 1961). Incubation of rat brain homogenates with
Acorus oil inhibited oxygen uptake; LSD partially blocked the in
inhibition whereas 5-hydroxy-tryptamine potentiated the inhibition
(Dhalla et al., 1961). The hypnotic potentiating action of Indian
Acorus oil was reduced by pretreatment with LSD or dibenzyline (DBZ)
in mice. A combination of LSD and DBZ potentiated barbiturate sleeping
time; this action was not affected by Acorus oil which suggests the
action of Acorus oil may be mediated through serotonin and catechol
amines as the action of reserpine is. Acorus oil also significantly
decreased the disappearance of pentobarbital from the blood in dogs
(Malhotra et al., 1962).
Indian Acorus oil, in doses of 10-100 mg/kg bw i.p. had a
sedative-tranquillizing action in rats, mice, cats, dogs, and monkeys.
Doses of 25 and 50 mg/kg bw produced vomiting in cats, dogs, and
monkeys. Doses of 10-150 mg/kg bw i.p. depressed spontaneous and
forced muscle activity in mice, with the greater depression in
spontaneous activity. Acorus oil inhibited overt somatic reflexes but
did not appreciably affect the neuromuscular function in the
anaesthetized cat since stimulation of the reticular formation
overcame the patellar reflex inhibition. These actions suggest an
action of Acorus oil at the spinal cord and subcortical levels of the
CNS. Acorus oil in vitro inhibited monoamine oxidase activity and
1- and d-amino acid oxidase activity of rat liver and kidney (Dhalla &
Bhattacharya, 1968).
Dandiya et al. (1959a) considered the hypnotic-potentiating
activity of the Indian oil to be in the hydrocarbon fraction or in an
oxygenated fraction not removed by the methods used in fractionating
the oil. Asarone, ß-asarone, and a third substance, not identified,
were considered to be responsible for the hypnotic-potentiating action
of the Indian oil (Baxter et al., 1960). ß-asarone doubled sleeping
time with sodium pentobarbital in mice at a dose of 50 mg/kg bw i.p.
and doubled the sleeping time with ethanol at a dose of 75 mg/kg (Seto
& Keup, 1969). The action of asarone and ß-asarone, alone or in
combination with either reserpine or chloropromazine, on conditioned
avoidance behaviour in rats, fighting behaviour in mice, and
electroshock convulsions in rats was determined. Both asarone and
ß-asarone alone blocked conditioned avoidance behaviour in some rats.
Asarone suppressed fighting behaviour; ß-asarone did not. Asarone
potentiated the action of reserpine and chlorpromazine on conditioned
avoidance behaviour and fighting behaviour; ß-asarone did not. Asarone
protected against electroshock convulsions, but ß-asarone increased
duration of spasm. Asarone potentiated the lethal effect of
chlorpromazine during electroshock convulsions; ß-asarone did not.
Pretreatment with Acorus oil, asarone, or ß-asarone did not increase
the concentration of 5-hydroxytryptamine in rat brain (Dandiya &
Menon, 1963).
Special studies on teratogenicity
Chicken embyro
Eggs were inoculated in the vitelinum sac with 0.2 ml of a
solution containing 0.15 to 15 mg of European oil or Indian oil, or
oil deprived of ß-asarone, and ß-asarone or 0.04-4.0 mg of alpha- or
ß-asarone. There was an absence of teratogenic effects due to the
calamus oil and alpha-asarone. In the case of ß-asarone at the
0.04 mg/egg, 43% of the embryo survived. At 4.00 mg/egg of ß-asarone,
there was 100% lethality (Yabiku, 1980).

Short-term studies
Rat
Jammu oil of calamus (JOC) was fed in the diet to groups of 10
male and 10 female rats at 0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0% for 18 weeks.
Growth was depressed at all levels and mortality increased at levels
of 0.25% and greater; gross liver changes and fluid in the abdominal
and/or pleural cavities were observed at necropsy in rats fed these
levels. These levels also produced dose-related microscopic pathology
in the liver and heart. The hepatic changes consisted of variation in
hepatic cell size with distortion of architecture, capsular thickening
proliferation of bile duct epithelium, and portal area fibrosis with
haemosiderin deposition. The heart changes consisted of degeneration
characterized by slow necrosis of muscle fibres, early fibrosis, and
infiltration with mononuclear cells (Hagan et al., 1967; Taylor et
al., 1967).
Groups of 11 male and 11 female rats received dietary levels of
0, 0.27, 1.67 and 5.3% of a hydroalcoholic extract of the rhizome of
Acorus calamus (European variety) for 13 weeks. An additional
group of the same size received 0.1% Jammu oil of calamus (JOC) in the
diet. The ß-asarone content of the diet was 0, 30, 184 and 583 ppm
(0, 0.003, 0.0184 and 0.0583%) respectively, for the hydroalcoholic
extracts, and 710 ppm (0.071%) for the JOC diet, on the basis of
analytical data in the report. Growth depression was noted in the
JOC-treated group. No gross or microscopic effects or effects on
haematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis, or organ weights was
found in any of the test groups (Weinberg, 1969).
The short-term toxicity of JOC, European oil of calamus (EOC) and
Kashmir oil of calamus (KOC) administered in the diet or by gavage was
compared in rats. Groups of 10 male and 10 female rats received 0,
1.0% JOC, 1.0% EOC, or 1.0% Koc in the diet or 0 (7 ml corn
oil/kg bw), 250 mg JOC/kg, 847 mg EOC, or 1082 mg Koc/kg by gavage
daily, seven days a week for 9-14 weeks. In the feeding study, atrophy
of cardiac muscle cells (JOC, EOC, Koc), fatty infiltration of the
myocardium (JOC only) and cardiac fibrosis (JOC, EOC) were observed.
Hepatic damage was also produced by dietary administration with the
JOC rats showing the most serious effects. Fatty degeneration occurred
in the centro-lobular region indicating its association with chronic
passive hyperaemia. Hepatic passive hyperaemia was observed in all
groups, including the controls, but was most prominent in the JOC rats
and was considered indicative of cardiac insufficiency. Coagulative
necrosis in the centro-lobular region, hepatic fibrosis, and bile duct
hyperplasia were also observed in the JOC rats. Heart and liver damage
of the same types seen in the feeding study were observed in the
gavage study. The severity of heart damage and liver damage was in the
order JOC, EOC, Koc (Taylor, 1981).
Guinea-pig
Groups of four male and two female guinea-pigs were treated with
0 (untreated control), 0 (solvent (olive oil) control), or 0.01 ml
Indian Acorus oil/100 g bw i.p. daily, six days a week, for six weeks.
No effects on physical condition or gross pathology were observed.
Hard nodules, considered due to local irritation, formed at the site
of the injections, but these disappeared in a few days (Chopra et al.,
1957).
Long-term studies
Rat
Groups of 25 male and 25 female rats were fed diets containing 0,
400, 800, or 2000 ppm (0, 0.04, 0.08, or 0.2%) ß-asarone for two
years. A positive control group of the same size received 2500 ppm
(0.25%) JOC. None of the group receiving 2000 ppm (0.2%) ß-asarone or
2500 ppm (0.25%) JOC survived more than 84 weeks; mortality was also
increased on the 800 ppm (0.08%) dose. Median survival time in the
females was less than in the males in these groups. The gross
pathological changes observed were serous fluid in the abdominal and
pleural cavities, liver and kidney changes, and tumourous masses in
the intestinal tract. The tumours were identified as leiomyosarcomas
of the small intestine and were found in one rat on 400 ppm (0.04%),
six on 800 ppm (0.08%), nine on 2000 ppm (0.2%) and one on 2500 ppm
(0.25%) JOC. All the test rats with leiomyosarcomas were males. The
earliest tumour was observed in a rat 52 weeks old on the 2000 ppm
(0.2%) dose. Two leiomyosarcomas were also noted in control females
but the location differed from that of the tumours in the treated
animals. Atrophy of cardiac muscle cells occurred in controls and all
test groups but was most prominent in the 2000 ppm (0.2%) ß-asarone
and 2500 ppm (0.25%) JOC groups. Cardiac fibrosis generally paralleled
the incidence of cardiac atrophy. Fatty degeneration and fatty
infiltration were also in the heart more severe in the treated groups.
Thrombosis within the chambers of the heart was observed in the 800
and 2000 ppm (0.08 and 0.27%) ß-asarone and 2500 ppm (0.25%) JOC
treated groups. Passive hyperaemia of the lung, kidneys and liver was
more prominent in the test than control animals indicating faulty
cardiac function in the test animals. Incidence of hepatic angiectasis
and hepatic coagulative necrosis also tended to increase with
increasing ß-asarone dose. Both sexes on 800 and 2000 ppm (0.08 and
0.2%) ß-asarone and 2500 ppm (0.25%) JOC had slightly depressed body
weights throughout the study; the males on 400 ppm (0.04%) ß-asarone
also had depressed body weights at termination but the number of
survivors was small. Haemoglobin, haematocrit, and red and white cell
counts were normal except that when the test animals became sick they
became anaemic with lowered haemoglobin, haematocrit, and red cell
count (Taylor, 1981).
Groups of 25 male and 25 female rats were fed diets containing 0,
500, 1000, 2500 and 5000 ppm (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5%) JOC for two
years. Mortality was increased in relation to dose with females dying
earlier than males, in all the treated groups. All the 5000 ppm (0.5%)
group were dead by 45 weeks, all the 2500 ppm (0.25%) group by 68
weeks and all the 1000 ppm (0.1%) group by 104 weeks. Three major
gross abnormalities were observed: liver damage, fluid in the pleural
and/or peritoneal cavity, and tumourous masses in the intestines. The
intestinal tumours were leiomyosarcomas, which were malignant, highly
pleomorphic, and highly anaplastic. These tumours occurred most
frequently in the duodenum and appeared to have arisen from the
musculature of the tunica propria of the mucosa. The incidence was 0
in the controls, three in females on 500 ppm (0.05%), five in males on
1000 ppm (0.1%), two in males on 2500 ppm (0.25%) and 0 on 5000 ppm
(0.5%). The histopathological changes observed in the heart and liver
with chronic administration of JOC were similar to those observed with
ß-asarone. Cardiac atrophy was observed in both test and controls but
was more severe in test animals. The severity in all four test groups
was similar. Fatty degeneration and fatty infiltration were increased
with doses of 1000 ppm (0.1%) and greater and cardiac thrombosis was
observed only with these levels. Passive hyperaemia of the liver
generally increased with dose for all four treatment levels. Hepatic
nodular hyperplasia was more severe in the treated groups but the
incidence was not dose-related. In males, the 2500 and 5000 ppm (0.25
and 0.5%) levels caused marked growth depression. With the lower doses
weight gain was normal for the first 26 weeks, then decreased. After
68 weeks, there appeared to be a slight weight loss. In the females,
growth depression was dose-related and considerable on the 1000, 2500
and 5000 ppm (0.1, 0.25 and 0.5%) levels. On the 500 ppm (0.05%)
level, weight gain was normal during the first year and slightly
depressed thereafter. Haematological values were similar in control
and test animals (Taylor et al., 1967; Taylor, 1981).
Groups of 25 male and 25 female rats were fed levels of 0, 50,
100 and 5000 ppm (0, 0.005, 0.01 and 0.5%) JOC for two years. The rats
on the 5000 ppm (0.5%) level showed the elevated and early mortality,
the heart and liver lesions observed with this level in the study
described above. One leiomyosarcoma was also observed in a male on
this level. Heart and liver changes with the 50 and 100 ppm (0.005 and
0.01%) levels were similar in severity to those observed in the
controls and consistent with geriatric changes. No leiomyosarcomas
were observed in the control, 50 or 100 ppm (0.005 and 0.01%) levels
(Taylor, 1981).
Groups of 25 male and 25 female rats were fed diets containing
EOC at levels of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0% for two years. This study was
evaluated independently by two pathologists. Both reported the finding
of leiomyosarcomas and hepatocellular adenomas and adenocarcinomas on
the 1.0 and 2.0% dose levels. Liver changes, identified by one
pathologist as hepatocellular adenomas or adenomatoid hyperplasia and
by the other as nodular hyperplasia also occurred on the 0.1 and 0.5%
levels. Other hepatic changes observed were hyperaemia, necrosis,
hepatocellular vacuolation, and biliary duct proliferation. In
general, these changes increased in severity and incidence with dose,
with the changes at 0.1% being similar to those in the controls or
slightly increased. Heart changes, consisting of myocardial atrophy,
fibrosis, fatty degeneration and fatty infiltration, increased with
increasing dose. The myocardial atrophy and damage was considered
sufficient to account for the passive hyperaemia and congestion seen
in the liver and other organs (Taylor, 1981).
The toxicity of calamus oil has been reviewed by Opdyke, 1977.
Comments
Only limited information is available on the metabolism of
ß-asarone in the rat, and none for man. Short-term administration of
ß-asarone to rats resulted in both hepatic and cardiac damage. These
changes were much more severe following long-term administration of
ß-asarone. In addition, tumourous masses were observed in the
intestinal tract. The tumours were identified as leiomyosarcomas.
Similar effects were observed following administration of oil of
calamus, the severity of the effect being directly related to the
ß-asarone content. Tumours were also reported in the liver.
Low levels of ß-asarone are not mutagenic in the Ames test with
and without activation, but high concentrations (5000 ppm (0.5%)) have
been shown to be positive in this system following activation.
EVALUATION
No ADI allocated.

Roger, are the ingredients heated for a period of time and then filtered?
Yes. I heat the base of olive oil in a Pyrex measuring cup as it sits in a saucepan of boiling water. I boil the water - NOT the olive oil.
When the olive oil is very hot I add the ground Cannabis flowers and stir the mixture with a wooden chopstick. (Zero metal touches the oil.) I heat it all together a second time in the pan of water. Remove from heat and let cool for ten minutes, or so.
Then I strain the Cannabis out of the oil by pouring it through a new (washed and dried) men's handerchief into a second Pyrex measuring cup. Then I add the drops of essential oil of myrrh, cinnamon and cassia to the clear, Cannabis-infused olive oil. Finish the ceremony with loving intention, healing blessing and direct moonlight and the ancient, topical sacrament is good to go. Decant into smaller, eye-dropper bottles. Pau. |

|

http://thc-ministry.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3074&highlight=
http://www.heavenlyessentialoils.com/id42.html
I found these sermons and it is some good reading.
I am not endorsing all they say. (They are Rapturests)
It caught my eye because it was from Tommy Spurgean a decendent of
the great preacher of old Reverend Spurgeon even knew the Holy Oil was
translated as Holy Spirit
Love L
Many atheist and other groups who deny the Deity of Jesus look for
reasons and fault in scripture to prove that Jesus was either just a man or
imaginary person. One of their major points to challenge his existence and
authority is that they say that the Old Testament does not make any
mention or reference of the Twelve Disciples. Their argument being that as
important as the role the Twelve disciples were to play that there would
certainly be some kind of mention of them in the Old Testament
Scriptures. To most theologians there is no mention of them, but when we
truly believe what the scriptures say and understand the meaning of many
things that have simply been discarded as being unimportant we will find
that they were there all along.
It is necessary to realize that the birthright, or inheritance in the Old
Testament teachings and the Gospel are linked together working hand in
hand. As we go into understanding the mystery of the 12 Disciples being
revealed in the Old Testament we must first refresh our mind with the
Promise that God made to Abraham.
Galatians 3:
7: Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the
children of Abraham.
8: And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen
through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee
shall all nations be blessed.14: That the blessing of Abraham might come
on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of
the Spirit through faith.
18: For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God
gave it to Abraham by promise.
The inheritance is Jesus Christ plus Salvation through him and the fact that
we are made heirs with him. Because of this we are legally entitled to
everything he has provided through the New Covenant. The birthright is a
special possession and or priviledge that was given to the person that held
the title of primogeniture (birthright holder). Stongs Concordance said this
about the meaning of it. This was taken from the word birthright in 1st
Chronicles 5:1.
birthright: 1062 hrwkb B@kowrah (bek-o-raw');
Noun Feminine, Strong #: 1062
1. birthright, primogeniture, right of the first-born.
The promises that were given to Abraham became the birthright to be
passed down to the primogeniture in each generation. It was given by
promise to Isaac, Jacob, Joseph and then to Ephraim, Joseph's youngest
son. It is interesting to know that the Abraham's promise appeared to
become divided at the time Jacob blessed his sons. There were two major
things that were promised that pertained to Abraham's promise that
affects us as Gentiles, there are several things given to the Jewish people.
For example God had said that the Land of Israel would be theirs forever.
But when it comes to the promises made to the world it would be given to
Israel in two parts. One was that Jesus the Son of God would be born from
Abraham and become a blessing to all nations; the other was that God
would make Abraham the father of many nations.
When Jacob blessed his sons Judah was promised that out of him would
come the great king and that His scepter would never depart from Judah.
But God didn’t tell Judah that he would become the father of many nations
but passed this promise to Joseph and his two sons. The greater part of
this blessing would rest on Ephraim. Ephraim became primogeniture or
birthright holder. Jacob told Ephraim that he would become a multitude of
nations. This promise given to Ephraim was Abraham's promise in it's
entirety. The promise given to Judah was that out of him would come the
chief ruler, but Abraham's birthright was passed down to Ephraim. He was
the primogeniture, he possessed the entire birthright.
The birthright was given to Joseph (Gen. 49:26) then to Ephraim and
Mannaseh (Gen.48:13-20).
13: And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's
left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and
brought them near unto him.
14: And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's
head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head,
guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
15: And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers
Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto
this day,
16: The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my
name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and
Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
17: And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head
of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove
it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head.
18: And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the
firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
19: And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also
shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger
brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of
nations.
20: And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless,
saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim
before Manasseh.
1Chron: 5:1: Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was
the firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright
was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is
not to be reckoned after the birthright.
1Chron: 5:2: For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the
chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph's
Even though Manasseh was blessed, Ephraim possessed the birthright as
primogeniture because of the right hand blessing from Jacob and was
blessed over Manasseh. This was done when Jacob crossed his arms and
blessed Ephraim, who was the youngest, over Manasseh, who was the
oldest. Joseph tried to correct Jacob but Jacob said that it was done.
By all appearances to most people it is believed that God blessed Judah
above everyone else because out of him would come the Chief Ruler. This
would eventually become the reason for so much strife between the tribes
of Ephraim and Judah. After Israel was delivered from the land of Egypt
they were to go to the Promised Land. The reason they called it the
Promised Land was because it was promised to them through the birthright
that the Land of Canaan would become part of their inheritance. This
birthright was now in the hands of Ephraim.
Afterwards Israel would go into bondage in Egypt. During this time each of
the firstborn sons from Ephraim's immeditate family would become the
birthright holder. This went on for four hundred years. This birthright would
eventually be passed to Joshua the son of Nun. Joshua would then become
the leader of the tribe of Ephraim.
When the Moses delivered Israel, it was already established in Heaven that
Moses would not be the man to take the children of Israel into the
Promised Land. Why? Because he was a Levite and did not possess the
birthright that was handed down to Ephraim. Moses had the Law but was
not the primogeniture, or birthright holder. God is a very legalistic God.
And God will use legal reasons to cause things to happen. The Lord
determined that Moses would not lead the children of Israel into the
Promised Land because of his disobedience. But there was a reason
behind this that most of us do not realize. It was impossible for Moses to
take the children of Israel into the Promised Land simply because he was
not of the tribe of Ephraim. The Birthright holder must be the one to divide
the inheritance. At this time we are only looking at one part of the
inheritance which was that God had promised the Land of Canaan to the
children of Israel and they were about to receive this promise. Remember
this is only part of the promise that God gave to Israel through the
birthright given to Abraham, the rest would come at the time Jesus began
his ministry and would eventually be crucified which would provide the
New Covenant. This is the other part of the inheritance.
When the time came for Israel to enter into the Promised Land Moses had
to make a choice between two men who had been very faithful to follow
him in everything that God had asked. They were Joshua and Caleb.
Joshua was the leader of the tribe of Ephraim and Caleb was the leader of
the tribe of Judah. Question: Why didn’t God choose Caleb? He was from
the tribe of Judah? Wouldn’t that be more appropriate? Especially since
God had said that out of Judah would come the chief ruler. God couldn’t do
that because Judah did not possess the promise that we call the birthright
or inheritance. God chose Joshua because he was the holder of the
birthright and it was he who divided the land of Canaan and gave to each
tribe their possession.
When God himself chose the first King of Israel he surprisingly didn’t
choose one from Judah or Ephraim He chose Saul who was from the tribe
of Benjamin to be King because of his humility. At that time he did this
because of the continual strife in Israel over the inheritance, question
being, who should rule Israel? Should our rulers come from Judah or from
Ephraim? Judah had the promise of the chief ruler but Ephraim held the
Birthright as the past had demonstrated by Joshua leading the children into
the Promised Land. This strife was caused by the confusion of the way the
promise was given.
This is what they said at a latter day at the time that God divided Israel.
Note this:
1Kgs: 12:16: So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto
them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in
David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O
Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their
tents.
God understood the promise but they didn’t.
Saul lost his humility and became rejected of God. At this time God
decided to put the Chief Ruler part of the promise concerning Judah into
action. He made David king of all of Israel and it would be of his lineage
that Christ would be born.
The promise that from David a King would be born, a special King who
would rule over the whole world began to be revealed through promises
made to David and his house. Remember David is from the tribe of Judah.
The same promise went to Solomon and would be passed down to his
descendants.
It is hard for us to see how God did this because he allowed it to become
obscured by allowing Samuel to anoint Saul first. He made promises to
Saul but knew as he was giving them that Saul would fail the same as
Moses and later Judas, all of who were men who were called but not
chosen for the inheritance. Looking at 1st Samuel 10:1 when God anointed
Saul it was to make him captain over the Lord’s inheritance. This is
speaking of Christ but it doesn’t appear that way until we read 1st Samuel
13:13. For now would the Lord have established thy kingdom upon Israel
forever. Remember, This is the promise that God made to Judah when he
said that the Scepter would never depart from him and the Scripture said
that out of him would come the Chief Ruler. This is speaking of Jesus.
Then God takes this promise away from Saul and gives it to David (1st
Samuel 15:2. God had planned to do this all along but he allowed this
interruption to occur so that we would not be able to see the plan of God
until the time that it should be revealed and that is now.
When Samuel anointed David all of these promises became his. He
became the one that God would establish his kingdom upon Israel forever.
He would become the captain of the Lord’s inheritance (this is speaking of
all of God’s children then and now and in the future who are saved and
become children of God). And the Spirit of the Lord would rest upon him
from then on (1st Samuel 16:13).
This part of the promise was passed down to Solomon, David's Son. God
allowed Solomon to build the Great Temple and blessed him with wealth
and wisdom. In the Temple God through the articles of design created
prophecy by the images that were placed there. Two things stand out
when it comes to these images. There were many Oxen and Lions. The Ox
was the symbol of Joseph and his sons, which was passed on to Ephraim;
the Lion was the symbol of Judah.
At Solomon’s Porch there were 12 Lions on the six steps that led to the
throne. This is symbolic that down through time, or step by step Israel
would eventually have a King who would be the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
This was a prophecy that revealed Judah’s inheritance from Abraham. Out
of the Southern Kingdom of Judah would come the Messiah. Jesus was all
of these things He was the Son of David, the Chief Ruler, the Messiah and
the Lion of the tribe of Judah, who would reign on the throne of David.
Jesus was born in the city of David, Bethlehem Judea which was in the Old
Southern Kingdom called Judah. Joseph and Mary were both of the tribe of
Judah and lived in the Old Northern Kingdom of Israel, also known as
Ephraim, in the city of Nazareth because that was where his ministry was
to begin.
In the court yard of Solomon’s Temple was a large bronze tank, like a
bowl, that held ten thousand gallons of water. It was called a Sea. It was
there for the priests to wash their hands and feet before entering the
Temple to do service to God. This tank of water was supported on the
back of 12 bronze Oxen, three facing to the North, three to South, three to
East and three facing to the West. These 12 Oxen are the only prophecy in
the Old Testament about 12 men who would come from Ephraim. This tank
or Sea sitting on the backs of these Oxen is a shadow of the Birthright, the
Gospel of Jesus Christ, or the New Testament. It is the New Covenant that
God had promised Israel and the world. It was a symbol of the cleansing
of Israel along with all the nations of the world.
The 12 Oxen that this Bronze Sea was sitting on the backs of, was a
prophecy of the 12 Disciples who would bear the burden of the New
Covenant by taking it to the North, South, East and West. Jesus told them
to go into the entire World and preach the Gospel to every creature, and
this they did to the entire World that they knew about. It is still going to
the World today through the preaching of the Gospel; they are still
speaking to us as we preach their message and the account of their
experience from the Bible.
Well, if this is true how did the 12 Disciples become the birthright holders?
It happened at the time Solomon sinned against the Lord. God used the
prophet Ahijah to speak the Word of the Lord and God divided Israel into
two nations. The Northern Kingdom later called Israel ruled by kings from
Ephraim and the Southern Kingdom known as Judah, later as the land of
Judea would be ruled by Kings from Judah. When this happened, God
separated the birthright from the Southern Kingdom. God knew that both
of these Kingdoms would come to destruction because of sin but he also
knew that this was the perfect time to separate them. The birthright from
Ephraim went to Jeroboam who was the leader of the tribe of Ephraim at
that time. Remember Ephraim's birthright was the same as Abraham's and
God had said that Ephraim's children would become a multitude of nations.
The promise of the coming King being born from David's family stayed
with the Southern Kingdom being passed down to Rehoboam Solomon's
son.
God then used the prophet Jeremiah to reveal what God had in store for
the birthright. Jeremiah was a prophet during the time that Jerusalem and
Judah was taken by the Babylonians. During his ministry he prophecied
about many things that were to come to pass. One of these was the
prophecy of the New Covenant that God would give to Israel (Jeremiah
31:31-34). this is the same Covenant that we are in today. But in this
same chapter God revealed the primogeniture, the birthright holder. In
Jeremiah 31 verse,
9: They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I
will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein
they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my
firstborn.
Jeremiah was speaking promises that God was making to both Judah the
Southern Kingdom and Ephraim the Northern Kingdom in these Scriptures.
He was telling us that he had made Ephraim the Northern Kingdom
heirs with Ephraim's birthright. Which means that everyone or anyone who
lived in the Northern Kingdom called Israel or Ephraim was a birthright
holder. It is the same thing as being heirs with Christ. God has placed
us with Jesus and because of this we become heirs in all the
promises.
When Jesus began his ministry he was in the Old Northern Kingdom of
Israel in the regions that were given to Zebulun and Napthali. This was
their names in the Old Testament. (Matthew 4:12-23) All of the Lords
disciples were chosen while Jesus ministered in the land of Galilee. (Luke
6:12-17)
There was only one man who stood out from the others, as not being a
Galilean and that was Judas Iscariot.
Most of us would think that Iscariot would be Judas’ last name, But the
name Iscariot only indentified the city that Judas was from. In the Hebrew
the word Iscariot means "a man of Kerioth" or Carioth, which is a city of
Judah (cf. Joshua 15:25). Judas was the only one of the twelve that was
from the Southern Kingdom known as Judah, or the Land of Judea at that
time. Which means that he was not a holder of the birthright. It is the
same as the story of Moses in the wilderness, Moses was not qualified to
share the Promised Land with Israel because he was a Levite and not a
leader from Ephraim who was the holder of the birthright. Judas'purpose
was to be a shadow of the betrayal and rejection of the Southern Kingdom
known at that time as Judea. The name Judas is the Greek word for the
same name as Judah in the Hebrew. God is going to redeem Judah's honor
after he has saved all of Israel and the King from their tribe Judah sits on
the Throne to govern the entire Earth.
The man that replaced Judas was with Jesus and the Disciples from the
beginning of his ministry in Galilee to witnessing his resurrection. His name
was Matthias. In the book of Acts it tells that the Disciples were Galileans.
Acts 12:6: Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together,
and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his
own language.
7: And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another,
Behold, are not all these which speak Galileans?
This places all twelve of these men as being from the Northern Kingdom of
Israel, which made all twelve men birthright holders through Ephraim’s
birthright. They all became primogenitures of the promise. The Oxen in the
Temple were a perfect shadow of these men who took the Gospel to the
entire world that they were aware of.
Since we are able to see how the birthright came to these twelve men it is
only natural to realize that since it is impossible for God to lie that all
twelve of these leaders from the Northern Kingdom of Israel were from
the tribe of Ephraim. The birthright was Abraham's promise that Ephraim's
seed would become a multitude of nations. Abraham was promised that he
would become the father of many nations. It worked like this. God had
made David a promise that he would be the Chief over God's inheritance,
which was God's children. The one who had this promise was Jesus himself
who was born in Bethelem of Judea from the seed of David. He gave the
twelve Disciples the birthright in the form of the New Covenant and told
them to preach it in all the nations of the World. It is known as the Gospel
of Jesus Christ. You cannot be saved without it. This is how the inheritance
is given to Jew and Gentile alike. Paul said in Romans 10:
11: For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be
ashamed.
12: For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the
same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14: How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and
how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall
they hear without a preacher?
15: And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How
beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring
glad tidings of good things!
Moses led Joshua who was the birthright holder to the Promised Land. He
showed it to him and then he layed his hands on Joshua and anointed him
to possess the land and divide it. This part of Abraham's promise was
fulfilled when Moses did this. When Jesus came he led the 12 Disciples who
were the birthright holders until they could hear and see the promises of
God, then he commissioned them to possess it and divide it among the
nations. This would happen through the preaching of the Gospel.
Today all Christians are primogenitures. When we receive the Gospel and
believe it we also receive the inheritance who is Jesus by faith. At that
moment we become heirs with Jesus. We become birthright holders
and can share the inheritance, who is Jesus Christ, with any person we
feel led to witness to, Jew and Gentile alike. Even though we are not
spiritual Jews we are saved by Jesus Christ who is the chief over the
inheritance through the hearing of Ephraim's birthright, the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. We have been given an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled,
and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,(1Pt:1:4). Jesus is
that inhertance, He is the riches of the Gentiles. God has given to us the
authority to share Jesus, who is the inheritance, because of Ephraim's
birthright, the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
This is why he said whatsoever you bind on Earth will be bound in Heaven
and whatsoever you loose on Earth will be loosed in Heaven. He has given
us the authority just like Joshua to be primogenitures of the inheritance.
In 70AD all of Israel, both Northern and Southern Kingdoms, were
eventually scattered into all the nations of the world. While in the
wilderness Ephraim's position around the Tabernacle was in the West and
Judah's was in the East. When they went into the Promised Land which was
Abraham's promise Ephraim was in the North called Israel and Judah was
in the South. But once they were driven out of the promised land they
would go back to their original positions. Only this time it would be in the
world, rather than around the tabernacle. God gave the Western
Hemisphere to Ephraim, and the Eastern Hemisphere to Judah.
Israel is gathered into two groups today, God sees Israel as either in
Ephraim or Judah. God told Ezekiel that he would make two sticks out of
Israel, one for Ephraim, Joseph's son, and the whole house of Israel, the
other would be for Judah and the whole house of Israel. There are six
million Jews in America, 4.8 million living in the nation of Israel itself. The
Jews in America are in Ephraim's stick. The Jews in Israel are in Judah's
stick. Some day they will become one.
In Revelation the 4th Chapter we see four beasts. These four beasts are
the emblems on the banners of Israel when they camped in the wilderness
around the Tabernacle. The beasts are the lion, a calf, the face of a man
and a flying eagle.
It is the unusual in this allegory that tells us what God wants us to see. The
Ox which is the banner of Ephraim has become a calf. This is very
revealing. It is a baby ox, Ephraim's ox has been born again. God is telling
us that Ephraim has been born again. If the lion which was Judah's banner
had been a lion Cub, sometimes called a whelp, it would have been telling
us that all of Israel had been saved. Why? Because Israel is still under two
banners, the Ox or the Lion, all of Israel. God has never changed his mind.
Since the Lion is still an old Lion, not a baby Lion, this tells us that the Jews
in the Land of Israel have not been saved yet. These under the Ox are
clearly the Jews in the Western Hemisphere.
God still sees Israel in two groups. It doesn't matter what tribe you were
from. If you live in the Western Hemispere and you are a Jew, you are
under Ephraim's banner the Ox. If you live in the Eastern Hemisphere you
are under Judah's banner the Lion. There are an estimated 13 million Jews
living in the world today scattered among the nations. Gradually the Jews
have been going to two countries in the world. In the past two hundred
years they have either gone to one of two places. That is the United States
of America, or the nation of Israel. These are the two main gatherings of
the Jews, Ezekiel's two sticks. God has promised to save the Jews in
America and the Western Hemisphere first.
The simple fact that the four beasts of Revelation 4th chapter are telling
Jesus in the fifth chapter of Rev. that he is worthy to open the seals, is
telling us that this is going to happen before the tribulation begins. Simply
because he hasn't broken the seals yet. The tribulation will begin when the
first seal is broken.
God Bless You

We need to walk in boldness because Jesus cancelled the effects of Satan. We have power over depression, fear, oppression, etc. Because I have spent more time studying UN documents than the Word of God, my spirit is not as built up as the soul. How can I walk in faith and confidence when I am cowering after the machinations of evil people?
UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF ABRAHAMIC COVENANT IN A TIME OF EVIL
By Joan Veon
November 28, 2006
Are you tired of not having answers to the problems of world government, free trade, and the loss of value of life? Do you feel that God has left us alone to battle evil? I have good news for you. God made provision for us to live victorious long before the “foundations of the world.” Having reported on the topic of world government for the past 13 years, I have found myself covered too many times in the miry clay of oppression as a result of reading thousands of pages of UN and UN-related documents written by the powerbrokers of the world for how to change the world “for the better.” Their antics and control over the world’s monetary supply and corresponding interest rates, the plucking of government assets worldwide by public-private partnership, deregulation of country laws so as to increase the cost of utilities, and the privatization of government assets as a way of “reducing debt,” have kept me at times in an over-whelmed position. Why, because I considered the power of these evildoers greater than the power of Almighty God. Centuries ago, a young shepherd boy went up against a very powerful giant by the name of Goliath. None of life’s dynamics have changed. They are the same but what has changed is how we are to fight these battles. The battle is spiritual, not physical.
How do we then live in light of the power of world government? I believe those of us who are believers in Jesus Christ are missing the boat. We are concentrating on man’s evil instead of concentrating on the promises of God given to us in His Word, the Bible. It says there is nothing new under the sun--which means that what we are seeing are the evil tactics of today’s ruthless, power hungry men who take what is not theirs in the name of jobs, free trade, freedom, and the environment. These world rulers, international bankers, CEO’s, and members of groups like the Skull and Bones have used their power for evil instead of good. In other words, we are living history. Again, nothing is new under the sun. So where do we go to get the peace and joy necessary to live our lives today?
As a result of a Bible study class on the Abrahamic Covenant, I found that the answer is to know the provisions God made when Adam and Eve fell. As a result of their disobedience, God had to find a way to get back on the earth to provide a way of salvation and right standing for those who would believe on His Son Jesus Christ. This is our hope and this is how we will be victorious against the Goliath’s of our day. There is the Old Testament Covenant which began with Abraham that was fulfilled when Jesus died and rose from the grave, known as the New Testament Covenant.
When we understand what God has provided through the Abraham and descendants who came before His Son Jesus, we will then find the conviction, courage, and faith to “tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (Luke 10:19).
Much of our problem is that we are confronting evil with our ego (intellect, mind and will), instead of our spirit—where God resides. Why I was oppressed is because my intellect understood the evil, but my spirit was not part of the process. I Thessalonians 5:17 says “that your whole body, soul, and spirit be preserved until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Our body houses the soul and the spirit. Most of us live out of our emotions: “I feel” or “I fear” instead of faith in God who resides in our spirit. We must change how we think and how we operate. Jesus told the woman at the well, “God is a spirit and you must worship Him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24).
When we operate intellectually, we block out the spirit of God. To live victorious is for us to understand the spiritual position we have in Jesus.
When the young shepherd David saw the stalemate between the evil Philistines and the Israelites, he declared he could kill the thirteen foot plus giant, Goliath (who wore over 300 pounds in armor). Sure of his power and might, the giant taunted David who replied, “You come to me with a sword, spear, and shield, BUT I come to you in the name of the LORD OF HOSTS, the God of the armies of Israel. This day will the LORD deliver you into my hand so that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel” (I Samuel 17: 45-47). If David was operating out of his intellect, he would have been fearful, given Goliath’s size. He was, however, operating out of faith which came from his spirit. He promptly told the giant that he was not dealing with him but the Lord of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel.”
Our problem today is the same as David’s. While we understand the goals and power of the Bildebergers, the Tri-Lateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Chatham House, etc., we assume the power which they use for evil is greater than the power of the God through His Son Jesus. As a result, the world does not know there is a mighty God who rules the world because those who claim to be Christians are not acting like there is a greater power than evil. I have had a sea-change as a result of studying the Abrahamic Covenant.
We need to walk in boldness because Jesus cancelled the effects of Satan. We have power over depression, fear, oppression, etc. Because I have spent more time studying UN documents than the Word of God, my spirit is not as built up as the soul. How can I walk in faith and confidence when I am cowering after the machinations of evil people? God, after creating the heavens and earth in Genesis 1, created Adam and gave him instructions on how to live in the Garden of Eden. Because Adam was alone, God created Eve, a helpmate. They were able to eat of every tree in the Garden except the Tree of Good and Evil. It was Satan, in the form of a serpent, who played with Eve’s mind to the point where she questioned the exact meaning of God’s instructions. We all know what happened. She ate of the forbidden fruit and then offered it to Adam. Afterward, the all loving, all wise God could not find them when he wanted fellowship with them. Because of the new wisdom Adam and Eve acquired, they understood their nakedness and had covered themselves with fig leaves to hide their shame. An all-loving God who pronounced curses on them for breaking His Covenant made them clothing from the skins of animals before sending them out of the protection of the Garden. The impact of moving from God’s perfect world to the fallen world had grave and great repercussions. Not only was sin part of mankind’s fallen nature, but Adam forfeited the ground God gave him to Satan which is how Satan became “god of this world system.”
God needed to find another way to get back on Earth to provide a way for our sinfulness to be forgiven. In Genesis 12:1-3, it tells us that God saw Abram who lived in Ur of the Chaldees. He instructed him and his family to leave Ur and follow Him so He could cut a covenant with him. God declared, “I will make of you a great nation, I will bless you, and make your name great and you shall be a blessing. I will bless them that bless you and curse him that curses you and in you will all the families of the earth be blessed.” These were not only physical blessings, but spiritual as well.
For centuries, various tribal groups such as the Norsemen, Vikings, Greeks, American Indians, Africans, and others, have cut blood covenant. It is the most sacred and solemn agreement between two covenant heads or heads of tribes. It is everlasting and from generation to generation. If one breaks the covenant or if the descendant of one of the covenant heads breaks it, then there are curses that follow forever.
In cutting blood covenant, the two heads of the two different tribes would mingle their blood together by cutting either the palm or wrist and clasping them together. In this way, they became one. Then to ensure that everyone knew they cut covenant, they would rub ash into the wound so there would be a noticeable scar that would symbolize their blood covenant. (In much the same way, a virgin man and virgin woman “cut” blood and enter into a sacred covenant.) In cutting covenant, the benefit would be the greater force of the united tribes as well as combined assets and liabilities, all of which would be for mutual protection and preservation of the tribes and their descendants.
In business this business arrangement is called “partnership.” It is where two businessmen team up in order to have a greater market share and advantage. By joining forces and bringing combined experience and financial strength, they hope to mutually benefit. All of the terms of the partnership are spelled out in a business agreement which explains what each partner will do and what they bring to the partnership. As well, there are clauses that discuss what happens if one breaks the terms of the partnership. Usually there is a name change to reflect the new agreement.
The Old Testament Covenant started with the faithfulness of Abram. God waited 25 years before sealing his covenant with Abram. Genesis 17:1, 2 tells us, “And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to him and said, ‘I am the Almighty God, walk before me and be though perfect. And I will make my covenant between me and thee and will multiply thy seed exceedingly.’” In other words, God made a sacred and holy covenant with Abraham to re-establish His presence on the earth. He gave him the terms of the covenant and then promised him a son through his own seed. Sarai, his wife was given a new name, Sarah, and when she was 90 years old, she became a mother to the seed that would carry the line of Jesus through their son Isaac, Jacob, and David. Both Joseph and Mary who bore Jesus came from the line of David.
As a sign of the covenant, Abram was told to circumcise himself and his whole family, including all male servants. Abraham shed his own blood when he circumcised himself. But in cutting covenant, you need both covenant heads to bleed. How does God bleed? In John 1:14, it says, “The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” God the Father bled on the Cross through His Son, Jesus. Paul records in Romans 4:3, “And Abraham believed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness.” With the Abrahamic covenant in Genesis 17:3, God promised Abram a seed and changed his name from Abram to Abraham. In John 8:56, Jesus told the Pharisees, “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day and he saw it and was glad.“
The Abrahamic Covenant was between Abraham and God; God the Greater cut covenant with the lesser, God gave the blessings in Genesis 17. The Covenant was conditional from the standpoint that if they did not uphold the terms of God’s covenant, it was null and void. In Deuteronomy 30:19, Moses records the blessings for following God and the curses for breaking the Covenant with God, “I call on heaven and earth to record against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessings and cursing; choose life that both you and your seed may live.”
The Abrahamic provided a way for the sin of the people to be covered. It was through the blood sacrifice of cattle, lambs, goats, doves, and other acceptable animals that the blood spilled, covered the sin of the people. In the Old Testament, the blood sacrifice did not erase the sin, it covered the sin.
In Genesis 17:4 it says, “As for me, my covenant is with you and you shall be a father of many nations.” That refers to us, in this day and age. Covenant is an on-going process. Matthew 6:33, “But seek first the kingdom of God and all his righteousness will be added to you.” God cut the Abrahamic Covenant which was a pattern for the covenant he would cut with man once His Son Jesus came to Earth.
In essence we take on God’s riches in glory; we take on His righteousness, and strength and power. In other words, we should be walking victorious because the shedding of animal blood in the Abrahamic Covenant has been replaced and superseded by the blood covenant of Jesus Christ. It was the blood of Jesus that atoned or erased our sins versus the blood of an animal which only covered sins. The shedding of the blood of God the Son on the cross provided our forgiveness of sins and eternal life. What is the sign of our Covenant with Jesus Christ? Our heart’s profession of faith in Him as our Savior and our confession of sin. Romans 10:9-10 says “That if you will confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” When we do this, our name changes to “believer.”
The God who cannot change (Malachi 3:16) and who does not lie (Titus 1:2), has cut Covenant with you and me through the resurrection of His Son Jesus from the grave. Therefore, we should not be walking around in depression over the affairs of the world. I John 4:17 says, “For as He is, so are we in this world.” I think we are so busy looking at the wordly power and might of Satan’s minions on earth, that we have forgotten whose we are and the power of the God who created heaven and earth. He gave us power to tread on serpents and scorpions because when Jesus was raised from the dead, it told the spirit world that the power of Satan was broken—not just for Jesus but for all those who would live and move and reside in Him! This is what should change how we think and how we stand against the evil of our day.
The words that we speak, they have life and they have meaning. Jesus Christ told those in John 6:63: “The words that I speak, they are power and they are life.” For us to curse ourselves by projecting the negative pictures that we think the enemy is setting up for us only brings damnation. Proverbs 18:21, “Death and life are in the tongue.” We should be choosing LIFE that we might LIVE. We do this through memorizing his words. Because of the New Testament Covenant through Jesus which supersedes the Abrahamic Covenant, we inherit the promises made to Abraham: he will bless us, because of our faith and presence in the world, the world will be blessed. How should we be walking? We need to put the words of Jesus in our hearts and minds because when we speak the Word, demons will flee, because of the power of His words.
We need also to understand that we have been made righteous in Jesus the Messiah. Our righteousness comes as a result of the death of Jesus on the Cross. II Corinthians 5:21 says “He who knew no sin became sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus." Romans 8:2-4 says “For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God in sending his Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit.”
Instead, we need to remember who our Covenant Partner is and that we are -heirs with Jesus. This new mindset will put Satan and his minions to flight. After Jesus died and rose from the grave, He went to Heaven where He is seated at the right hand of God. In His place, He gave us the Holy Spirit. As a result of our covenant with God, we have not only great spiritual power but we have an exalted position in Christ. All we need to do is change our hearts and see ourselves as He sees us: victorious. It is only then that we will be able to come against the demonic evil of this world with the power of the Creator of the Universe and His Son Jesus.
In summary, we have the ability to change this world. Whenever we learn of new “rules and regulations” that oppress and change our freedoms, we should be asking God to oppose their ideas, to confound them and to put roadblocks in their pathways in the Name of Jesus. Lastly, I John 4:4 states, “Greater is He that is in you than he that is in this world.” We need to read the Word of God as much as we read their documents for then would we have a different mindset about who we are and whose we are. We can stand like David against the Goliaths of our day and like Jesus when He declared He was the Messiah to the religious leaders of his day. Let us start claiming the power of Jesus over the evil of the world and walk in that confidence for our God is Greater!
