Hello, This is Cirebria from the World Mission Society, Church
-
of God, recording cities of refuge and the Earth. So
-
we go to Numbers, chapter thirty five, verse nine, And
-
the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, speak to the people
-
of Israel, and say to them, when you cross the
-
Jordan into the land of Canaan, then you shall select
-
cities to be cities of refuge for you. Then the
-
man slayer who kills any person without intent may flee there.
-
The city shall be for you a refuge from the avenger.
-
That the man slayer may not die until he stands
-
before the Congregation for judgment. And the cities that you
-
give shall be for you, shall be your six cities
-
of refuge. You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan,
-
and three cities in the land of Canaan to be
-
cities of refuge.
-
These six cities shall.
-
Be for refuge for the people of Israel and the stranger,
-
and for the sojourner among them. That anyone who kills
-
any person without intent may flee there.
-
But if he struck him down.
-
With an iron object so that he died, he is
-
a murderer. That murderer shall be put to death. And
-
if he struck him down with a stone tool that
-
could cause death and he died, he is a murderer.
-
The murderer shall be put to death. Or if he
-
struck him down with a wooden tool that could cause
-
death and he died, he's a murderer. That murderer shall
-
be put to death. The Avenger of Blood shall himself
-
put the murderer to death.
-
When he meets him.
-
He shall put him to death. And if he pushes
-
him out of hatred, or hurld something at him, lying
-
in wait, so that he died, or an ms him
-
down with his hands that he died, then he who
-
struck the blow shall it be put to death. He
-
is a murderer. The Avenger of Blood shall put the
-
murderer to death when he meets him. But if he
-
pushed him suddenly without enmity, or held anything on him
-
without lying, and we use a stone that could cause death,
-
and without seeing him, dropped it on him so that
-
he died, though he was not his enemy and did
-
not seek his harm, then the congregation shall judge between
-
the man slator and the Avenger of Blood, and accordance
-
with these rules, and the Congregation shall rescue the manslayer
-
from the hand of the avenger of blood, and the
-
congregation shall restore him to the city of refuge to
-
which he had fled, and he shall live in it
-
until the death of the High Priest who was anointed
-
with Holy oil. So he's talking about the city of
-
Refuge and intentional and unintentional murderers fleeing there. And the
-
unintentional was the only one that had a chance to
-
be freed from the city of refuge by the death
-
of the high priest who was anointed with holy oil.
-
So only by the death priest, the death of the
-
high priest who was anointed with holy oil, could the
-
man slayer or murderer be freed from the city of Refuge.
-
So this appears in the law of this system of
-
the unintentional murderers. The difference between unintentional intentional murderers is
-
the intentional murderers must be put to death.
-
It's life for life.
-
God made the law of this year of refuge for
-
unintentional murderers, not just the law of Moses.
-
This is a This is a.
-
Prophecy about the earth, the city of refuge in the earth,
-
the city of refuge represents the earth where we dwell,
-
where there is intentional and unintentional.
-
Murderers.
-
But the intentional murderers have no choice but to be
-
put to death by the avenger of blood. But the
-
intentional murderers can be freed from their death by the
-
death of the High Priest who was anointed with holy oil.
-
No bail can release the prisoners. There's no amount of
-
money that could take the prison anders out of jail.
-
Then how long is the jail time for people in
-
the city of Refuge? It depends on the death of
-
the High priests. Sinners in the law had to stay
-
in the City of Refuge until the death of the
-
High Priest. So we need to understand the reality of
-
the city of Refuge, and where is our hometown?
-
If this is a dwelling place.
-
Where our bodies dwell temporarily, then where's our hometown? Who
-
is the high priest and who is the sinner for
-
whom the death the high priests sacrifice for So we
-
need to find out the answers to this. This is
-
a shadow, Then where can we find the reality? This
-
is a show, it's history that repeats itself, and it's
-
also a reality of the spiritual world Hebrews ten, verse.
-
One to eighteen.
-
For since the law has been a shadow of the
-
good things to come, so the law is a shadow
-
of the good things to come, instead of the true
-
form of these realities. It can never, by the same
-
sacrifices that are continued offer a year after year make
-
perfect those who draw near.
-
Otherwise would they not have ceased to be offered.
-
Since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, will no longer
-
have any conscience, consciousness, conscious consciousness of sins. But in
-
these sacrifices there is a reminder of since every year
-
possible for the blood of bulls and golds to take
-
away sins. Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said,
-
sacrifices and burnt offerings you have not desired, but a
-
body you have prepared for me. In burnt offerings and
-
sin offerings, you have taken no pleasure. Then I said, behold,
-
I have come to do your will of God, as
-
it is written of me in the scroll.
-
Of the book.
-
When he said above, when he said above, you have
-
neither desired nor taken pleasure In sacrifices and offerings, and
-
burnt offerings and sin offerings. These are offered in accordance
-
with the law, which we know is a shadow. Then
-
he added, behold, I have come to do your will.
-
He does away with the first in order to establish
-
the second, and by that will we have in sanctified
-
through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once
-
for all, and every high priest stands daily at his service,
-
offering repeatedly the same sacrifices.
-
Which can never take away for sins.
-
But when Christ has offered for all time a single
-
sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand
-
of God, waiting from that time until his enemies should
-
be made a footool for his feet. For by a
-
single offering he has perfected for all those for all time,
-
those who are being sanctified. And the Holy Spirit also
-
bears witness to us for us. After saying, this is
-
a covenant that I will make with them after those days,
-
declares the Lord, I will put my laws on their
-
hearts and write them in their minds. Then he adds,
-
I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.
-
Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no.
-
Longer any offering for sins.
-
So God writes the law of the New Covenant on
-
our hearts and minds to forgive our sins. So it's
-
not it's only by the body of Christ the death
-
of the High Priest that prisoners on the earth murderers,
-
unintentional murderers can receive forgiveness of sins and returned to
-
their homeland.
-
Hebrews eleven eight to seventeen.
-
By faith, Abraham obeyed when he was called to go
-
out to a place that he was to receive as
-
an inheritance, and he went out, not knowing where he
-
was going. By faith, he went to live in the
-
land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in
-
tents with Isaac and Jacob airs with him of the
-
same promise. For if he was looking forward to the
-
city that the foundations whose designer and build her as God.
-
By faith, Sarah herself receives power to conceive, even when
-
she was past the age, and she considered him faithful,
-
who had promised. Therefore from one man and him as good,
-
from one man, and him as good as dead, were
-
born descendants, as many as the stars of having, and
-
many as the innumerable gret of the stand by the seashore.
-
These all died in faith, not having received the things promised,
-
but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and
-
having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.
-
The people who speak thus make it clear that they
-
are seeking a homeland. If they have been thinking of
-
the land from which they had gone out, they would
-
have had the opportunity to return. But as it is,
-
they desire a better country, that is a heavenly one. Therefore,
-
God is not a shame to be called their god,
-
for he has prepared a city for them. So the
-
hometown of mankind is the heavenly country. The earth, where
-
we live in this body, is a city of refuge
-
for our souls.
-
It is a prison.
-
All men are criminals on death row, who were sentenced
-
to death from heaven, passed down to earth and confined.
-
Then what is the secret hidden in the death of
-
the high priests that flees death row prisoners?
-
First Peter one, verse eighteen.
-
Knowing d which states knowing that you were ransom from
-
the feudal way inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable
-
things such as silver or gold, but with the precious
-
blood of Christ, like that of a lamb, without blemish
-
or spy. He was borne on before the foundation of
-
the world, but was mad made manifest in the last
-
times for the sake of you, who, through him are
-
believers in God, who raised him from the dead and
-
gave him glory. So that your faith and hope is
-
in God, having purified your souls by.
-
Your obedience to the truth.
-
For since youre brotherly, love, love one another earnestly from
-
a pure heart, since you have been born again, not
-
of perishable seed, but of imperishable seed, through the living.
-
And abiding Word of God.
-
For all flesh is like grass in all its glory,
-
like the flower of grass. The grass weather's and the
-
flowers fall. But the word of the Lord remains forever.
-
And this is the word. This word is the good
-
news that was preached to you. So what what we
-
preached about. We were preached about the blood of Christ.
-
It's not with money, silver, or gold, anything like that
-
that we could be redeemed from this empty way of life.
-
It is only with the precious blood of Christ Ephesians one,
-
verse seven. In Him we have redemption through his blood
-
spiritual blessings in Christ. In Christ we have redemption through
-
His blood. The forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the
-
riches of His grace, which he lavished upon us in
-
all wisdom and insight, making known to us the mystery
-
of His will, according to his purpose, which he set
-
forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time,
-
seen all things in Him, things in heaven and things
-
on earth. So we have only forgiveness, only redemption through
-
His blood, the forgiveness of our sins. So all the
-
sacrifices presented as sin offerings in the shadow in the law,
-
but even in the law, the passover was the way,
-
was the way to socri vice lambs.
-
But Christ came as.
-
Our passed over lamb, so we could inherit the flesh
-
and blood of God, who judges all other gods, and
-
disasters pass over us. And so through only through the
-
passover can we received protection from disasters. Escape this, escape
-
the judgment on the city of refuge, and returned to
-
our hometown, the Kingdom of Heaven. I hope you received
-
the truth through this message, and God bless you.
