The biblical month of Bul | Marcheshvan – also named Cheshvan – Is the eighth month within the redemptive cycle in the biblical calendar. It is the month of ‘fruit’ or ‘the fruit of the tree’ and ‘the produce’.

 

The Hebrew word ‘Mar’ preceding the month ‘Cheshvan’ means ‘bitter’ and can serve as a hint for us to ask the LORD for a strategy to turn bitter circumstances into sweetness, which goes hand in hand with the presence of the LORD as the one who secures health (cf. Exodus 15:23-25).

 

Exodus 15:23-25:
23 When they came to Marah, they could not drink its water because it was bitter. (That is why the place is called Marah.)
24 So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?”
25 Then Moses cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water, and the water became fit to drink. There the Lord issued a ruling and instruction for them and put them to the test.

 

 

The month of Cheshvan or Bul | Marcheshvan is assigned to the tribe of ‘Manasseh’, whose name is translated as ‘He who makes forget’.

 

His name should encourage us to leave the past behind and proclaim the good plan of God for our future. In this, we can learn from the movement and behavior of the four living creatures from the throne room of God, which always look forward as they move forward (cf. Ezekiel 10:11-13).

 

Ezekiel 10:11-13:
11 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the cherubim faced; the wheels did not turn about as the cherubim went. The cherubim went in whatever direction the head faced, without turning as they went.
12 Their entire bodies, including their backs, their hands and their wings, were completely full of eyes, as were their four wheels.
13 I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels.”

 

Manasseh was the firstborn son of Joseph, being the second blessed by his grandfather Jacob after Ephraim, while Jacob crossed his arms (cf. Genesis 48:13-14).

 

Genesis 48:13-14:
13 And Joseph took both of them, Ephraim on his right toward Israel’s left hand and Manasseh on his left toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them close to him.
14 But Israel reached out his right hand and put it on Ephraim’s head, though he was the younger, and crossing his arms, he put his left hand on Manasseh’s head, even though Manasseh was the firstborn.

 

It was in Joseph’s interest to reverse the order of his father Jacob’s blessing, but this was not granted to him (cf. Genesis 48:17-19).

 

Genesis 15:13:
13 Then the Lord said to him (note: Abram), “Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there.

 

This clearly shows to us that it was God’s plan to proceed in this way, namely to shape the future through prophetic revelation. Thus, God had already established something in His predestined plan that could not be reversed by the will of a human being (cf. Psalm 33:4).

 

Psalm 33:4:
4 For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.

 

The name as afore mentioned means ‘Manasseh’ which means ‘he who makes forget’, whereas the name ‘Ephraim’ means ‘double fruitfulness’.

 

Through the two names given to the sons of Joseph, an important principle becomes clear, namely to be focused on letting go of the past and looking confidently to the fruitful future.

 

 

In the blessing of Manasseh, the sign of the cross played an important role, which was created by crossing the arms of Jacob, who is called Israel at this point, while he blessed Ephraim before.

 

The name ‘Israel’ means ‘God’s fighter’ and is an indication of the quality of the spiritual warfare to establish the presence of God and to go forward confidently in the blessing of God (cf. Genesis 32:27-29 i.c.w. Matthew 11:12).

 

Genesis 32:27-29:
27 The man asked him, “What is your name?” “Jacob,” he answered.
28 Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”
29 Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there.

 

Matthew 11:12:
12 From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence (Note: forcefully advancing), and violent people have been raiding it.

 

By crossing the arms, the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet, namely the ‘Thaw’ was created, which means ‘desire, longing, to indicate, to mark, to draw a line, wish, ambition, lust, to abominate’. This letter carries the symbol of ‘an identification mark, imprint, code’. In Job 31:35 is ‘Thaw’ used as ‘longing’ and in Ezekiel 9:6 it is used as an ‘indication mark’ for protection.

The numerical value of the letter ‘Thaw’ is ‘400’ and indicates the end of captivity and the beginning of freedom (cf. Genesis 15:13 i.c.w. Acts 7:6-7).

 

Genesis 15:13:
13 Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there.

 

Acts 7:6-7:
6 God spoke to him in this way: ‘For four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated.
7 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves,’ God said, ‘and afterward they will come out of that country and worship me in this place.’

 

Furthermore, the Hebrew letter ‘Thaw’ is the ultimate expression of space and time in a single letter.

 

 

The crossing arms of Jacob over his grandsons Ephraim and Manasseh can also be seen as the sphere of the eternal gospel that goes along with God’s special wind and covers us, much like it is described in Revelation 14:6-7.

 

Revelation 14:6-7:
6 Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth – to every nation, tribe, language and people.
7 He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”

 

The sound of the eternal gospel is the call to fear and worship God and the good news that God’s justice has come upon Babylon. It is the gospel that carries the fragrance of life and death (cf. 2 Corinthians 2:14-16).

 

2 Corinthians 2:14-16:
14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.
15 For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.
16 To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task?

 

 

God destroys the confusion (Note: ‘Babylon/Babel’ means ‘confusion’), the power of false doctrine by those who move under the ‘crossed arms’ of the ‘Ancient of Days’ (Note: grandfather) (cf. Daniel 7:9-10; Revelation 14:8 i.c.w.1 Timothy 4:1-2).

 

Daniel 7:9-10:
9 “As I looked, “thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze.
10 A river of fire was flowing, coming out from before him. Thousands upon thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.

 

Revelation 14:8:
8 A second angel followed and said, “ ‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great,’ which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.”

 

1 Timothy 4:1-2:
1 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.

 

 

The manifestation of God’s hand through His fingers, the fivefold ministry, creates divine unity and spiritual maturity. The result of this is that the influence of Babylon, namely confusion or seduction is put in its place (cf. Ephesians 4:11-14).

 

Ephesians 4:11-14:
11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.

 

 

In the eighth biblical month, the temple was completed under the leadership of King Solomon, which is related to the Hebrew letter ‘Thaw’. As already mentioned, the ‘Thaw’ is the final expression of space and time in a single letter (cf. 1 Kings 6:38).

 

1 Kings 6:38:
38 In the eleventh year in the month of Bul, the eighth month, the temple was finished in all its details according to its specifications. He had spent seven years building it.

 

The temple was the first permanent house of God.

 

Previously, the presence of God dwelt in a tent (Note: desert as transition) and later moved to the temple of Jerusalem (Note: solid substance), the capital of Israel, which means that God set up His throne in the midst of Israel. This is set up as the supreme court of God (cf. Psalm 122:3-5).

 

Psalm 122:3-5:
3 Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together.
4 That is where the tribes go up – the tribes of the Lord – to praise the name of the Lord according to the statute given to Israel.
5 There stand the thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

 

Only those who are true lovers (Note: worshipers => Judah – David was from the tribe of Judah) of the Heavenly Father and know that they are part of the Bride, which is the city of ‘Yerushalayim’, are able to judge righteously under the command of the Ancient of Days (cf. Revelation 21:2, 9-10).

 

Revelation 21:2.9-10:
2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. …
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.

 

In connection with King Solomon’s completion of the temple, I was led to the Bible passage from Matthew 6:6.

Matthew 6:6:
6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

 

This biblical passage is about the importance of completing the personal realm in the true relationship with the Heavenly Father, which also points to the dimension of the Hebrew letter ‘Thaw’, which at the same time can be seen in relation to the crossing of Jacob’s arms.

 

In order to reach the realm of true relationship with the Heavenly Father, it is necessary that we ‘close the door’ from within to our personal space of relationship with the Father. When we do this, it is the LORD’s delight to reward us from the hidden place, for He loves to dwell in the ‘dark’ (cf. 1 Kings 8:12 i.c.w. Colossians 2:2-3).

 

1 Kings 8:12:
12 Then Solomon said, “The Lord has said that he would dwell in a dark cloud; …

 

Colossians 2:2-3:
2 My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

 

The closed door is also a representation of humility and devotion before the Lord in prayer, which encompasses a divine relationship.

 

The closed room reveals the realm of God’s mysteries that bring forth vision in the form of wisdom and knowledge.

 

Our surrender and submission to the Heavenly Father releases His hand over us so that His plans for our lives become visible (cf. Isaiah 55:8-11).

 

Isaiah 55:8-11:
8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

 

Amen and Amen.

 

In His Wisdom,

 

Daniel Glimm

As God’s people, we need to recognize Christ Jesus in His sovereign facet as King, whose starting point is His sacrifice on the cross, which is like the realm of the slain Lamb of God in the throne room. This is leading into the dimension of the hidden revelation of the Father and His plans (cf. Revelation 5:5-7).

 

Revelation 5:5-7:
5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
7 He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.

 

 

A king’s earthly sphere of government usually extends from the capital of a country. This is why it was no coincidence that when Jesus Christ lived on earth and approached by riding at the right time into the city of Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, He was recognized and proclaimed as king by the people (cf. John 12:12-15).

 

John 12:12-15:
12 The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem.
13 They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the king of Israel!”
14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written: 15 “Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion; see, your king is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.”

 

It is interesting to note at this point that while Jesus was riding, He was publicly proclaimed King by the people. This elevated position that accompanied Jesus’ sitting makes it clear that it was about a higher realm of Jesus’ presence in which He revealed Himself to the people.

 

Speaking in a spiritual context, the character of the capital city of Jerusalem is akin to an open door in heaven based on intimacy with Christ as the Bridegroom in the form of walking in first love and continuous true relationship with Him, as the city is referred to as the bride and also wife of the Lamb (cf. Revelation 21:2.9-10).

 

Revelation 21:2.9-10:
2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. …
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.

 

This city amounts to a new dimension of knowing Christ as the eternal King. This dimension is a higher level in heaven. The Bible passage from Revelation 19:11-16 makes this clear to us. There John again sees heaven opened in a new level and recognizes Christ as the eternal King, who, riding on a white horse with His royal army, moved forward and revealed Himself warlike in different facets. He is the Faithful and True, the Hidden – the Name that no one knew but Himself, The Word of God, King of kings and LORD of lords.

 

Revelation 19:11-16:
11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war.
12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself.
13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.
14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.
16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords.

 

The heavenly or messianic Jerusalem can grant entrance through Christ Jesus in 12 different characters, resulting from the assigned angels of the 12 tribes of Israel, which are allocated to the four winds in an alliance of units of three (cf. John 10:9 i.c.w. Revelation 21:10-13.21a).

 

John 10:9:
9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.

 

Revelation 21:10-13.21a:
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.
11 It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.
12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.
13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. …
21a The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. …

 

This area of access through the pearl gates of the city includes access into the kingdom of heaven, as this is like a pearl (cf. Matthew 13:44-46).

 

Matthew 13:44-46:
44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls.
46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.

 

 

It was no coincidence that Abraham, after victoriously waging war against the four kings, met Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of the Most High God, who revealed to him the mystery of Jesus’ coming sacrificial death in the form of ‘bread’ and ‘wine’. Then Abraham expressed his gratitude to him by giving a tithe (cf. Genesis 14:17-20 i.c.w. 1 Corinthians 11:23-26).

 

Genesis 14:17-20:
17 After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).
18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, 19 and he blessed Abram, saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.
20 And praise be to God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

 

1 Corinthians 11:23-26:
23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

 

So Abraham entered the dimension of eternal kingship and priesthood through the encounter with Melchizedek. This is for us today a call to enter into the light of His face, which in this case is revealed in the facet of the lion representing the king and the bull representing the priest. Through the revelatory truth given to us, we can get the knowledge of Jesus’ kingship and priesthood for this time, which enables us to go forward in His spirit of the fear of the LORD as well as His strength (cf. Psalm 36:9 i.c.w. Zechariah 4:6; Proverbs 1:7a; Proverbs 9:10).

 

Psalm 36:9:
9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.

 

Zechariah 4:6:
6 So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.

 

Proverbs 1:7a:
7a The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, …

 

Proverbs 9:10:
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

 

The presence of Jesus Christ as the eternal King of kings is accompanied by His powerful living two-edged sword, which is not in His hand or attached to His waist, but goes forth from His mouth to correct the nations with the revelatory truth contained therein in the form of righteousness (cf. Revelation 19:15a).

 

Revelation 19:15a:
15a Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. …

 

This includes the royal and priestly communication of God that goes along with the roaring of the Lion of Judah and the plowing power of the Father.

Since the LORD is followed by a people riding on white horses according to Revelation 19:14, these are the so-called rearguard of His righteousness, reflecting Jesus Christ in His appearance in their field of responsibility assigned by the Father.

 

Revelation 19:14:
14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.

 

In this, it is required from us that we allow the Word of God to work from within us, speaking out the revelatory truth that He is showing us for this time, while following Christ in faithfulness and truthfulness. This implies also living in the righteousness of His Word and not giving in to contradiction. As a result, our anointing with the authority of Himself as King of kings as government in the eternal realm and LORD of lords as government within the temporary realm increases. This increase in substance is necessary so that the power of His righteous and eternal kingship impacts the earth which includes His righteous judgment that even shakes society and political realms.

 

 

Christ’s righteous royal-priestly intervention is akin to His drawn ‘line’ in the sand that He drew with His index finger, while the religious spirit or spirit of self-righteousness was accusing that woman who was caught in adultery (cf. John 8:3-11).

 

John 8:3-11:
3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?”
6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger.
7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”
8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there.
10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11 “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

 

Based on this, Jesus stooped twice to silence this religious spirit by ‘writing’ which is the power of God’s steadfast Word (Note: it is written), that is an indication of God’s kingship and priesthood. Jesus’ upright posture can serve as a reference to Him as King and His bowed posture to Him as Priest.

 

The eternal royal priesthood is accompanied by Jesus’ precious blood, which required His sacrifice on the middle cross of Calvary in order to position us in it (cf. Revelation 1:5-6).

 

Revelation 1:5-6:
… 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,
6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father – to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

 

From this it is clear that our discipleship with Jesus also requires a sacrifice, which involves laying aside the old life in order to live in the new life in Christ Jesus (cf. Galatians 2:20).

 

Galatians 2:20:
20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

 

The mystery of sacrifice is hidden, among other things, behind the blood-soaked robe of the King of kings and LORD of lords in Revelation 19:11b.13 in the dimension of the Faithful and True as well as in Him as the Word of God.

 

Revelation 19:11b.13:
… 11b whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. …
13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.

 

The principle of the ‘blood-soaked robe’, which requires a sacrifice in order to stand in the dimension of Christ’s kingship, is akin to Joseph’s blood-soaked robe, which was dipped in animal blood by Joseph’s brothers to deceive their father. The deception ultimately resulted in this blood-dipped robe secretly carrying Joseph’s career into governmental dominion. This, in turn, caused his brothers to initially not recognize him in his governing authority (cf. Genesis 37:31-33).

 

Genesis 37:31-33:
31 Then they got Joseph’s robe, slaughtered a goat and dipped the robe in the blood.
32 They took the ornate robe back to their father and said, “We found this. Examine it to see whether it is your son’s robe.”
33 He recognized it and said, “It is my son’s robe! Some ferocious animal has devoured him. Joseph has surely been torn to pieces.”

 

 

From this it is evident that the kingship in Christ can be preceded by betrayal and denial, just as Jesus was betrayed and denied in order to ultimately reign as King of kings and LORD of lords for eternity (cf. Luke 22:48, Matthew 26:34).

 

Luke 22:48:
… 48 but Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

 

Matthew 26:34:
34 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”

 

The dimension of Jesus Christ as the Lion of Judah, which encompasses the realm of the Father’s face in the facet of the lion, is accompanied by a ravening full-grown lion. This implies a royal harvest equivalent to the term and expression of ‘fisher of men’ (cf. Luke 5:10b i.c.w. Acts 10:13).

 

Luke 5:10b:
“… 10b Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.”

 

Acts 10:13:
13 Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”

 

Moreover, the dimension of the Lion of Judah is accompanied by a certain ‘nakedness’. The Hebrew root word for ‘lion – ‘āraḥ’ sounds phonetically the same as the Hebrew word for ‘nakedness – ‘ārāh’. This is related to the power of God’s revelatory Word to enable us to be covered by the forgiving presence of Jesus’ blood and only from this covering of His perfect sacrifice, we are enabled to serve in His royal priesthood in the Kingdom of God (cf. Hebrews 4:12-13 i.c.w. Revelation 1:5-6).

 

Hebrews 4:12-13:
12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

 

Revelation 1:5-6:
… 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,
6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father – to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

 

Amen and Amen.
