BUT IF YOUR [MIND AND] HEART
TURN AWAY AND YOU WILL NOT
HEAR, BUT ARE DRAWN AWAY TO
WORSHIP OTHER GODS AND SERVE
THEM, I DECLARE TO YOU TODAY
THAT YOU SHALL SURELY PERISH,
AND YOU SHALL NOT LIVE LONG IN
THE LAND WHICH YOU PASS OVER
THE JORDAN TO ENTER AND
POSSESS. I CALL HEAVEN AND EARTH
TO WITNESS THIS DAY AGAINST YOU
THAT I HAVE SET BEFORE YOU LIFE
AND DEATH, THE BLESSINGS AND
THE CURSES; THEREFORE CHOOSE
LIFE, THAT YOU AND YOUR
DESCENDANTS MAY LIVE AND MAY
LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD, OBEY HIS
VOICE, AND CLING TO HIM. FOR HE IS
YOUR LIFE AND THE LENGTH OF
YOUR DAYS, THAT YOU MAY DWELL
IN THE LAND WHICH THE LORD
SWORE TO GIVE TO YOUR FATHERS,
TO ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB.
must have an accurate blueprint, or
plan, with which to "see" the entire
structure that the architect has
provided. In this case, the architect is
the Holy Spirit, and the blueprint is
the red print in your Bible! The plan is
the First and Second Covenants in,
first, the blood of animals (Genesis 15),
and then in the blood of Abram, who
later became AbraHam in Genesis 17:1-
5, AMPC:
WHEN ABRAM WAS NINETY-NINE
YEARS OLD, THE LORD APPEARED TO
HIM AND SAID, I AM THE ALMIGHTY
GOD; WALK AND LIVE HABITUALLY
BEFORE ME AND BE PERFECT
(BLAMELESS, WHOLEHEARTED,
COMPLETE). AND I WILL MAKE MY
COVENANT (SOLEMN PLEDGE)
BETWEEN ME AND YOU AND WILL
MULTIPLY YOU EXCEEDINGLY. THEN
ABRAM FELL ON HIS FACE, AND GOD
SAID TO HIM, AS FOR ME, BEHOLD,
MY COVENANT (SOLEMN PLEDGE) IS
WITH YOU, AND YOU SHALL BE THE
FATHER OF MANY NATIONS. NOR
SHALL YOUR NAME ANY LONGER BE
ABRAM [HIGH, EXALTED FATHER];
BUT YOUR NAME SHALL BE
ABRAHAM [FATHER OF A
MULTITUDE], FOR I HAVE MADE YOU
THE FATHER OF MANY NATIONS.
Now from the Second Covenant. In
Galatians 3:13-15, AMPC:
CHRIST PURCHASED OUR FREEDOM
[REDEEMING US] FROM THE CURSE
(DOOM) OF THE LAW [AND ITS
CONDEMNATION] BY [HIMSELF]
BECOMING A CURSE FOR US, FOR IT
IS WRITTEN [IN THE SCRIPTURES],
CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS
ON A TREE (IS CRUCIFIED)
[DEUTERONOMY 21:23]: TO THE END
THAT THROUGH [THEIR RECEIVING]
CHRIST JESUS, THE BLESSING
[PROMISED] TO ABRAHAM MIGHT
COME UPON THE GENTILES, SO THAT
WE THROUGH FAITH MIGHT [ALL]
RECEIVE [THE REALIZATION OF] THE
PROMISE OF THE [HOLY] SPIRIT. TO
SPEAK IN TERMS OF HUMAN
RELATIONS, BRETHREN, [IF] EVEN A
MAN MAKES A LAST WILL AND
TESTAMENT (A MERELY HUMAN
Now look at verses 10-11 in the AMPC:
"This is My covenant, which you shall
keep, between Me and you and your
posterity after you: Every male among
you shall be circumcised. And you
shall circumcise the flesh of your
foreskin, and it shall be a token or sign
of the covenant (the promise or
pledge) between Me and you."
THE BLOOD OF A MAN! AN
EVERLASTING COVENANT! Now let's
back all of this up. The Book says in
Deuteronomy 30:17-20, AMPC:
