Christians are preoccupied with their life after death. They are preoccupied with the mansion in God's house which Jesus went ahead to prepare for those who actually follow him to God's kingdom of heaven. This is 'the Jerusalem that is above', in spirit heaven. This is the second covenant:
Galatians: 4 KJV N.T.
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; (the following is the first covenant:) the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26 (the following is the second covenant:) But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
The second covenant is about:
John: 14 King James Version (KJV)
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Jesus made the above preparation in God's kingdom of heaven, not Moses. Moses gave the first covenant and he made no preparation for his followers in God's kingdom of heaven. He simply gave the law of sin and death (i.e. the ten commandments)..
The first covenant is for 'the dead'. The second covenant is for the 'spiritually aware' (i.e. the converted).
Christians are those people who have totally abandon the first covenant and totally embraced, esteem, use and promote the second covenant.
Christian are 'converted' (spiritually aware) people who are healed by Jesus.
Matthew: 13 KJV N.T.
15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
Christians are spiritually aware people who can and do transgress the ten commandments so as serve in the 'newness of spirit':
Romans: 7 KJV N.T.
4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Christians do not soweth to the flesh and the ten commandments and therefore reap corruption. They do not fight for promised land on earth. Instead Christians transgress the ten commandments so as to serve spirit and Spirit, unconditionally. They reap eternal life, i.e. a life after death in God's kingdom of heaven, in the spirit realm.
Hebrews: 9 King James Version (KJV)
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Galatians: 6 King James Version (KJV)
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Also Christians do not fight wars and do not support others who fight wars. Christians believe in Jesus and Jesus take care of them:
Matthew: 5 KJV N.T.
39 But I tell you not to resist the evil person. Instead, whoever shall strike you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Romans: 12 King James Version (KJV)
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Among Abraham's generations there are just two sets of people. One generation are Christians. The others generation are Jews, law-Moslem and others:
1. Christian. Christians are Abraham, Isaac and Isaac's generations. These are those Jews who abandon being Jews, and became Christians and so, earned the promise of the Spirit. These people differs in no way from Jesus Christ (except that Jesus is Lord of all):
Galatians 3:24-26King James Version (KJV)
24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Galatians: 4 KJV N.T.
1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
I am a tutor and governor for Christians.
Abraham, Isaac and Isaac's generations are those Jews who abandon and transgress the ten commandments so as to serve spirit and spirit unconditionally. This is the anchor of the new covenant, which is, the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus:
Romans: 8 King James Version (KJV)
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death
This second covenant is not about the O.T., the Mosaic/Jewish tradition or the ten commandments. This second covenant was brought forth to replace first one for those who believe in Jesus and became Christians. This new covenant was necessary because that first old covenant was flawed:
Hebrews: 8 King James Version (KJV)
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
This second covenant is without the ten commandments:
Romans: 3 King James Version (KJV)
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Acts: 13 King James Version (KJV)
39 And by him all that believe are justified (freely) from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
The second covenant is about the promised land 'above'. This is God's kingdom of heaven that is in the spirit realm. This is about following Jesus, after one dies, into the mansion in God's house which Jesus went ahead to prepare for genuine Christians.
The second covenant is anchored on 'the promise'. And 'the promise' is anchored on spirit and Spirit and delivery into God's kingdom in the spirit realm. This is 'the Jerusalem' or 'promised land', that is above'.
Galatians: 3 King James Version (KJV)
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.
There are two covenants:
Galatians: 4 KJV N.T.
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26 (the second covenant:) But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
The second covenant is about 'Jerusalem that is above'. This is about God's kingdom of heaven that is in the spirit realm. This covenant is about being freed from the ten commandments. This makes it totally different from the first flawed covenant.
The first covenant was about 'Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.'. The first covenant is about the earthly promise land that is Israel and the Jews who are in bondage under the ten commandments.,
The second covenant is about one's death after this life on earth and judgment. This second covenant is about being delivered after death into God's kingdom of heaven in the spirit realm, into the mansion in God's house which Jesus went ahead to prepare for those who cease being Jews and became Christians.
The second covenant is about transgressing the ten commandments so as to serve spirit and Spirit unconditionally, whiles one lives on earth, currently. This is is to soweth to Spirit and not to flesh/ten commandments.
2. the other set of Abraham's generations are are Ishmael and his generations who include Jews. They persecuted Christians and continue to do so.
Those who persecute Christians (i.e. Christians are Abraham, Isaac and Isaac's generations) do not get their punishment whiles they live on earth. They are dealt with by Jesus, when they die.
This is when they are judged. And they are punished in the spirit realm. They are on the left side of Jesus. When they die they meet Jesus as follows:
Matthew: 25 KJV N.T.
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
The first covenant is about an 'earthly Jerusalem/'promise land'. This is Israel, the promised land of the Jews. (i.e. Ishmael and his generations)
The second covenant is about the 'heavenly, spirit Jerusalem/'promise land'. This is God's kingdom of heaven that is above, in the spirit realm. This is the promised land for Christians. (i.e. Abraham, Isaac and Isaac's generations)
Galatians: 6 King James Version (KJV)
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
According to the Holy scriptures, the Jews are not 'converted and healed by Jesus'. They are still spiritually dead, also called 'the dead'. They continue to esteem, use, invoke and promote the law of sin and death (spiritual death)
The secrets that the Jews hold are indeed secrets. And these secrets/devises may make them materially wealthy, on earth. However these secrets are half baked deceptions which are cunningly crafted to have them bury each other according to:
Matthew: 6 King James Version (KJV)
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Treasures in heaven relate directly, to following Jesus to God's kingdom of heaven in the spirit realm where Jesus went to prepare a mansion in God's house for those who follow him:
Matthew: 8 King James Version (KJV)
22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
Jesus came to separate the two sets of descendants of Abraham, as follows:
Galatians: 4 KJV N.T.
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
Jesus said:
Matthew: 10 King James Version (KJV)
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Because of the above the Jews (who realize that according to Jesus, their final destination was not good), killed Jesus. And realizing that Christians had a better destination, they persecuted Christians:
1 Thessalonians: 2 KJV
14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
In the above 'us' means Christians.
Jesus came to put a sword of separation between the Jews and Christians.
Jesus' 'sword' is not a physical 'sword'. Jesus' sword are parables but not limited to parables. They include ideas which the Jews esteem, use, invoke and promote.
Jesus' sword are cunning ideas/devices which conditioned the beliefs of undeserving people and so lead them to bury each other inside the earth, in hell with Satan, while the deserving follow Jesus into God's kingdom of heaven, in the spirit realm into the mansion in God's house which he went to prepare for them.
The above defines how Jesus and God lead people to the destination under the sword of separation of Jesus.
Jesus' final separation is not earthly. Jesus final separation is done after earthly/physical death:
Hebrews: 9 King James Version (KJV)
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment
Judgment is anchored on how one soweth and 'to what one soweth', while one lived, on earth:
Galatians: 6 King James Version (KJV)
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Fact is to soweth to flesh is literally to esteem, use, invoke and promote the ten commandments:
Romans: 7 KJV N.T.
4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
The above revelation from the Holy scriptures says, one is held under the law when one is in the flesh (i.e. a child of the flesh/'the dead'/spiritually dead/'not converted'.
The above revelation from the Holy scriptures says, when one is spiritually aware (can serve in the newness of spirit) one is no longer held under the law. One is 'dead to' and 'delivered from' the law. Also the law that one is 'dead to' and 'delivered from' is the 'thou shall not covet' commandment, (i.e. one of the ten commandments).
Galatians: 4 KJV N.T.
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; (the following is the first covenant:) the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
