WAIT - What does our Father Mean, when he uses this Word?

Have you ever used a word, and didn't really know what it meant? Sometimes when studying our Father's Word, we have to buckle ourselves down, put that old thinking cap on, and get to root of what is being said.


Man, will change the meaning of a word, whenever he/she sees fit. It's faster, it's not time consuming, and the conversation is spent reading between the lines.

Ever read a txt mgs, or been in a chatroom?
Abrvs r n! LOL! ?



But you know, in our Father's Word, you can't do that, when he uses a word, to teach you something, he means just what that word means.


WAIT

Let's take that word Wait back to the original language that it was written in: (Hebrew)

http://www.htmlbible.com/sacrednamebiblecom/kjvstrongs/index2.htm


In the book of Exodus 21:1, our Father gave Moses the judgements, he should use, concerning the crime, and the penalty.


Exodus 21:12 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.


If you smite a man, and he dies, you are to be put to death, no questions asked.


13 And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.


If you did not lie behind a bush, a tent, a tree, a camel, hide out in the flock, or sit there, and wait for the man, and your God put you in the position, to do the right thing, I'm going to make sure you have a safe place to go, so you won't be killed.


(See Numbers 35)

Now let's go to the book of Numbers and see how our Father uses the word wait.


Numbers 3:10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.


Their job was to handle all work that was wholly to God, concerning the tabernacle and the tent. The Levites, the first born, only, where to put it up, take it down, keep it wholly, inside and outside, and clean, no funny stuff, no false teachings, no junk! And check this out, don't give them any property, and no land, for themselves, because they belong to me! When they wait on the priest office, they are waiting on me!


Remember when In the book of Exodus 21:1, our Father gave Moses the judgements, he should use, concerning the crime, and the penalty.


Exodus 21:12 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.


You know why? They were traveling. They were still trying to reach the land of Canaan, their inheritance. Let me ask you a question? Would you feel comfortable traveling with a murderer? Always looking over your shoulder, wondering who he's going to strike next! Our Father said; nip it! in the bud! right then!



Ok now, the children of Israel have reached the land of Canaan, and they are getting ready to go in, but before they do so our Father speaks to Moses in Numbers 35:1 in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho. He's going to lay down some ground rules, because now they are actually going to be settled down on their land.



In Numbers 35:2 thru 10, The LORD spoke to Moses, and Commanded the children of Israel, (the11 tribes), to give a portion of their inheretance to the Levites .It would be cities for them to live in, and suburbs, to put their cattle on, so they could continue, to be about our Father's business.



Now after this was done, They were to make 6 cities, a city of refuge, 3 on this side of Jordan, and three in Canaan.


11 Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.



This is for anyone who, makes a mistake or inadvertent transgression, in error, ignorance, at unawares; unwittingly. They didn't mean to slay anyone, it was an accident.


12 And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.


So if the next of kin, (avenger) comes to kill the person, (slayer) who made the mistake in killing his loved one, the slayer can go there, and stay until he goes before the judge.


Put your thinking Caps on! Numbers 16 thru 18


If he Smite, (Hit, Strike), him with an instrument of iron, and he dies, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death, if he strike him with throwing a stone, and he dies, he is a murderer, if he strikes him with a hand weapon of wood, and he dies he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.



If he uses any kind of weapon, to kill, he shall be put to death. Why? because he meant to kill him!


19 The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.



Now pay attention! IF the revenger (the next of kin), just so happens to come across the murderer's path, or run into him randomly, or just happen to meet him, and the murderer, starts an argument, and they get into a fight, the revenger (next of kin) has a right to kill the murderer. Why? Because the murderer wants to kill him too!



20 But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;

21 Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.



If the revenger, has hatred in his heart, and he shoves the slayer with all his might, or if he strikes him with malice in his heart, he has waited and planned what he was going to.do If the slayer dies, then the (slayers) next of kin, has the right to slay the revenger, when he meet him.



In other words, what goes around, comes around.The Avenger became a Revenger because, he laid in wait.




Now let's take another look at the way our Father uses the word wait. In the book of Jeremiah, our Father is really upset.



Jeremiah 5: 7 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.



Are you sitting in the harlot's house (church) every sunday, or whatever day you go to church, and listen to them tell you lies, like you're going to be raptured up out of here! A Harlot, will tell you anything, and do anything, just to get your money.



They're not telling you that satan and his workers are going to be sitting in Jerusalem for five months, defacto, decieving, people and stealing peoples souls.



They're not telling God's children, that Satan is the one riding the FIRST White Horse in:

Revelation 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.



Jeremiah 5:26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.



These preachers and so-called teachers are to catching you in a net, setting a trap, occupying your mind with junk. They stick together, they take wages by the day or year. They were hired Harlots. They are morally wrong; concretely, an (actively) bad person, condemned, guilty, ungodly, wicked MEN AND WOMEN, that do wrong. They are laying in wait!



Have you ever taken a pacify out of a babies mouth; when they are sucking on that thing real goood? Whew!! Are you being pacified, with false religions? Holding on to that Rapture Theory?



His children have forsaken him, they're not listening to him, ther're listening to the false teachers, preachers, false prophets, anyone who claims to be teaching the true word of God, and all they are doing is killing the souls of his people. They are murderers of the soul. They are leading his children straight to satan.



Our Father reminds us again, in The New Testament, by the teachings of Paul, when he was speaking to the Ephisians in:

4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;


12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:


13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:


14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;



Paul is telling us, don't be fooled by the instructions, doctrines, learnings, and teachings of, false apostles; false prophets; false evangelists; false pastors and false teachers.



So let's keep in mind, what David told us in the book of:



Psalm 27:14
Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.



We need to bind together, gather together, patiently tarry, wait, be strong, be of good courage, hold fast, and behave ourself valiantly. We should be alert, physically and mentally. If you run into some rough things, Our Father will strengthen us, care for us, and give us wisdom and understanding, when we seek him through his word, not the traditions of mans words.



Let's wait for the rider of the SECOND white horse that. John saw in:


Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.


12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.


13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.


14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.


15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.


16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

"Knowledge Brings Blessings"

Our father wants your love not your burnt offerings. In this lecture, we will learn that God also wants you to have knowledge of Him. All true knowledge and wisdom is found in God's Word. Without this knowledge you will never be successful and have peace of mind. Obtain this knowledge and wisdom, and God will bless you far beyond that which you think you deserve. God loves to bless an obedient child. Let's begin our study in Hosea.

Hosea 6:1 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

God only chastises those that He loves. The farther one pulls away from Him, the more severe the chastisement. Turn your ways unto the Lord.

Hosea 6:2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

This refers to the revival of the two witnesses three days after they are slain. Remember, this event happens just prior to the seventh trump and return of Jesus Christ when all will take on their spiritual bodies.

Hosea 6:3 Then shall we know, [if] we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter [and] former rain unto the earth.

The former and latter rain bring forth fruit. The Lord will give you what you need to serve Him. If you are producing fruit for Him, He will richly bless you and your family.

Hosea 6:4 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness [is] as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.

Ephriam and Judah represent all twelve tribes of Israel. Their goodness is their love. Their love towards God is like a morning cloud. Morning clouds look promising; however, when the sun hits them, they disappear without a drop of rain. He wants your love.

Hosea 6:5 Therefore have I hewed [them] by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments [are as] the light [that] goeth forth.

The words of God's mouth through the prophets chastise and correct. God's judgment is as certain as the sun comes up in the morning and goes down in the evening.

Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

The word mercy in this verse may be translated love. God wants your love and for you to have knowledge of Him more than burnt offerings.

Hosea 6:7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

Hosea 6:8 Gilead [is] a city of them that work iniquity, [and is] polluted with blood.

Gilead was a city of refuge and of the priests. The priests didn't do so well. They didn't stick to God's Word, and they became idolatrous.

Hosea 6:9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, [so] the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.

The priests robbed the people by teaching traditions of men and leading the people astray. They took part in the murder of refugees that were supposed to find safe haven in Gilead.

Hosea 6:10 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there [is] the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.

The idolatry of Israel began with Jeroboam's golden calves and continues to this day. Anything that prevents you from placing God first in your life is an idol.

Let's go back to the first principle of knowledge.

Proverbs 1:1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

Proverbs 1:2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

The Proverbs are the rules for a successful life.

Proverbs 1:3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

Proverbs 1:4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

Those that will receive instruction from God know right from wrong and how to deal with those that are wise in the ways of the world.

Proverbs 1:5 A wise [man] will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

Proverbs 1:6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

Those that listen to wise counsel learn more than those that speak. Wise counsel will help you interpret and understand the meaning of Proverbs in order to be successful in life.

Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Reverence, or love, of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. This is the first principle of wisdom. Those that love God and seek knowledge of Him will receive His blessings.

We are going to build on this basic foundation in Chapter 8 with wisdom speaking to you.

Proverbs 8:1 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?

Proverbs 8:2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.

Wisdom doesn't hide.She cries out to you and may be found all along the paths that follow God's way.

Proverbs 8:3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.

Proverbs 8:4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice [is] to the sons of man. Do you hear her, when she calls?

Proverbs 8:5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

Proverbs 8:6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips [shall be] right things.

Wisdom speaks excellent words, and she is always right, or just.

Proverbs 8:7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness [is] an abomination to my lips.

Proverbs 8:8 All the words of my mouth [are] in righteousness; [there is] nothing froward or perverse in them.

The words of wisdom will not deceive and lead you astray from God's way.

Proverbs 8:9 They [are] all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.

Those of you that have knowledge of God's plan should thank Him for opening your eyes and ears. Unfortunately, you are in a minority.

Let's skip to verse 14.

Proverbs 8:14 Counsel [is] mine, and sound wisdom: I [am] understanding; I have strength.

Receive instruction from wisdom, and all of these things are also yours.

Proverbs 8:15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.

Proverbs 8:16 By me princes rule, and nobles, [even] all the judges of the earth.

Those kings, princes and judges that don't have wisdom are pretenders. They will be judged harshly. Remember, wisdom is speaking.

Proverbs 8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

Proverbs 8:18 Riches and honour [are] with me; [yea], durable riches and righteousness.

Those that would choose silver and gold over wisdom are missing out on the riches that last.

Proverbs 8:19 My fruit [is] better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

Poverbs 8:20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:

Many times in life we come to a fork in the road and don't know which way to go. With wisdom in your possession you will choose the right way more often than not. Even if you choose the wrong path, wisdom won't let you go too far down the wrong path.

Proverbs 8:21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

Proverbs 8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

Wisdom was with the Lord before the creation of the first world age. It has no beginning and no end.

Proverbs 8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

Proverbs 8:24 When [there were] no depths, I was brought forth; when [there were] no fountains abounding with water.

Wisdom was with God before the firmament and the oceans. Friends, the beautiful thing is that she also wants to be with you.

Proverbs 8:25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

Proverbs 8:26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

Before the first atoms or particles of earth were formed, wisdom was there with God.

Poverbs 8:27 When he prepared the heavens, I [was] there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:


Proverbs 8:28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

Wisdom was there, when the laws of nature were established.

Proverbs 8:29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

Proverbs 8:30 Then I was by him, [as] one brought up [with him]: and I was daily [his] delight, rejoicing always before him;

How can you be a delight to God? Receive instruction from wisdom.

Proverbs 8:31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights [were] with the sons of men.

Proverbs 8:32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed [are they that] keep my ways.

The choice is yours. Keep the ways of wisdom and be blessed, or disregard wisdom and not be blessed. How are you doing?

Proverbs 8:33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

Proverbs 8:34 Blessed [is] the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

Seek wisdom, and you will find her.

Proverbs 8:35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

Don't overlook the significance of this verse. Those that find wisdom find eternal life and obtain favour of the Lord. Knowledge of God and wisdom bring blessings and eternal life to you and I.
