The LORD shut him in

Genesis 7:16『And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in. 』 A body with the energy of life came to Noah in pairs and entered the ark. This means that in Christ the living beings divided into two parts became one. The spirits who left the kingdom of God and came into this world became one in Christ. All spirit bodies entered the ark in pairs. In Genesis 1:22, "And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 』 Like living things in the sky and in water, humans on earth continue their lives from generation to generation. The Bible tells us to understand the laws of heaven through the laws of this earth. It is to realize the shape of the heavens (the body of the spirit) through the shape of the earth (the body of the flesh). That is why we must fill the sky and sea (the word of God). God is speaking in the same meaning to all living things...

Is salvation once an eternal salvation?

In John 10:28『 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 』 In Matthew 12:31, ``Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 』 Since Jesus died on the cross, resurrected, and brought all the sins of the world to God as high priest, all who are in Christ will be forgiven. In John 1:29, he said, "The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." The Lamb was the Passover Lamb by the Israelites at the time of the Exodus. Just as by the blood of the Lamb and free from Pharaoh's oppression, Jesus frees those who are trapped in darkness from the darkness and takes away all the sins of the world. In the Old Testament era, animal sacrifices were offered in order to be forgiven of sins. But in Hebrews 10:1, "For the law h...

The parable of the ten virgins

Matthew 25:1-4『 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 』 It is very important to know to whom Jesus spoke the words of the text. Matthew 25 is what Jesus said in a connection while talking about what will happen in the last days of chapter 24. Although there are no chapters and verses in the original text of the Bible, chapters and verses were introduced in the 16th century to make reading easier. So, in terms of the original text, we must remember that chapters 24 and 25 are linked. In chapter 25, not only the parable of the ten virgins, but also the parable of the talent and the parable of the sheep and the goat appear. Thus, in Jesus' parable of the ten virgins, it means that the object is the same as the object in th...

Adam who is the figure of him that was to come (2)

Just as sin entered the world from the outside of the world through one Adam, so all humans have sinned in that way, so Adam ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, but the sin he committed was not passed on to his descendants. What is taught in the church is to focus on the Garden of Eden the whole focus of saying that sin came into the world through one Adam. “Adam who is the figure of him that was to come,” the Apostle Paul explains to us in Romans. We should note that in verse 12 we say "Wherefore": "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Looking at Romans 5:6-11『For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, be...

Adam who is the figure of him that was to come (1)

In Romans 5:12-14 『Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.』 The words “Adam who is the figure of him that was to come” and “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. It has a very direct relationship with that word. In particular, even if someone doesn't say, "You have committed a sin, you are a sinner", all Christians think of themselves as sinners. David said in Psalm 51:5, “Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 』. People who go to church usually think of themselves as sinners. Everyone thinks th...

Shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Genesis 2:21-24『And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 』 Originally, Adam and Eve were one. Before Eve was separated, Adam was neither male nor female, but Adama (human). Common people think that Adam was born as a man, and Eve, a woman, was separated from Adam, but before the separation, Adama (human) is a being who is completely united. After separation, Adama becomes a man and a woman. Therefore, Adama (human) created by God in the beginning is different from Adama (male) from whom Eve was separated. It has a spiritual meaning. What does ...

The LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind

Job 38:1-7『Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? 』 In 38:1-7, this is what God said to Job about laying the foundation of the earth. By the way, Job says in 26:7, "He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing." For what Job said in chapter 26, God rebuked him for saying Job's mistake in chapter 38. So, Job is confessing "for making a mistake in 42:3." When God speaks to Job, it is about the end of his argumen...
