Seven tribes of Canaan

 Seven tribes of Canaan

 

In Deuteronomy 7:12, God commanded to completely destroy the seven tribes in Canaan, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.』

Through the Bible, God gives spiritual lessons to believers in connection with certain historical facts. Canaan symbolizes the kingdom of God, which means the kingdom of God in the hearts of believers. Man has been a sinner since birth. This is because the spirit of an angel who sinned in the kingdom of God was trapped in the dust and became a human being. The first man, Adam, became flesh and gave humans a sinful body to die for, and Jesus Christ, the last man, died on the cross and solved all human sins. This is baptism. Water baptism is dying to old man (sin). However, the human soul is polluted and cannot be improved through human efforts. Therefore, the soul (clothes) must be burned by fire (the Holy Spirit) and wear clothes from heaven (the clothes of Christ). This is the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Those who receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit are resurrected. If resurrection occurs while a man is alive, a temple will be built in the hearts of believers and the kingdom of God will come. However, something like the seven tribes of Canaan remains in the human heart and must be eliminated. As in Deuteronomy 7:1-2, it means to fight and win.

Things that are firmly established in the hearts of believers include the nature of the body, blood relations, thoughts and ideologies, religion, self-righteousness, the desire to dominate, and artificial intelligence. The previous identity of “I” appeared in these seven forms. However, the identity of the saints appears in the image of God (Elohim). Even if we become saints and the kingdom of God is established in our hearts, we must destroy these seven evil forms. God leads us to victory in war.

The tradition of the elders

  The tradition of the elders   Mark 7:5-9  『 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands? He answered and said to them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 』 In the Galilee region, Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem came to Jesus. They came with accusations against Jesus. This is because Jesus' disciples neglected washing their hands, a Jewish ritual of purification. They called it  “ the tradition of the elders. ”  The Jewish leaders ...

Question 32. How is the grace of God manifested in the second covenant?

  Question 32. How is the grace of God manifested in the second covenant? Answer. The grace of God is manifested in the second covenant, in his free provision and offering to sinners of mediation, and of life and salvation by it; and by requiring faith as the condition of their entering into a relationship with Christ, the mediator; and by promising and giving the Holy Spirit to all his elect, he works faith in them, with all other saving graces, and enables them to do all holy obedience; which obedience is a true evidence of their faith and gratitude to God, or the way which God hath appointed for their salvation. If we divide God's covenant into two for convenience, the covenant that appears in the Old Testament is called the first covenant, and the covenant that appears in the New Testament through Jesus Christ is called the second covenant. Luke 22:15-16 “ And he said to them, ‘ I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will n...

Healing a man with a withered hand

  Healing a man with a withered hand Mark 3:1-5 『 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day; that they might accuse him. And he said unto the man which had the withered hand, stand forth. And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace. And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other. 』 The Greek word for “ the man which had the withered hand ” is “ ἐ ξηραμμέ νην ἔ χων τ ὴ ν χε ῖ ρα” . In Revelation 14:15, “ And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; “ Exerande ” is the same wor...
