False Faiths and Beliefs

Let us see if it can be interpreted literally. Was Israel penetrated by literal or material ammunition? Was Israel penetrated? Let us read if they were penetrated. Let us again read chapter 9 verse 4 until 5 of Romans and study if the Israelites were penetrated.

“Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.”

What generation or race is Christ if we are going to talk about flesh? Christ is an Israelite. In the tribe of Judah, came Christ that is why He is Israelite. We can read that from Heb. 7:14:

“For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.”

Judah is an Israelite. Christ came there. That is why He is an Israelite.

The question whom did God promised the verse, “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper...” to Israel, right? Christ is an Israelite, a great Israelite because He is our Lord, our savior. The question now: was Christ penetrated by a literal weapon, was He penetrated or not? Let us read if He was penetrated. In John 19:33-34 here is what we can read:

“But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.”

Pierced or not? Pierced. When pierced by a spear, what happened? In John 19:34:

“But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.”

Was Christ pierced? He was already dead when pierced, right? They were testing if He was already dead. They pierced him. But before that, before He died, what was the first to pierce him? Nail. Where was he nailed? Let us read John 19:18:

“Where they crucified him, and two others with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.”

Was Christ pierced? Let us continue, reading John 20:27:

“Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, be believing.”

Pierced or not? If there was, it was prophesied … in Psalms 22:16

“… they pierced my hands and my feet.”

In prophesy He was pierced already. Was He pierced? Feet and hands were nailed. Penetrated or not? Penetrated. Literal weapon pierced the greatest Israelite that appeared on earth—who is none other than Christ.

It will be remembered that God promised not an individual. The one promised concerning the weapons that shall never prosper, the one promised to is a generation of man. Let us read again the paragraph, Isaiah 54:17:

“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.”

Is Christ a servant or not? Let us read from the Acts of the Apostles if He is a servant. If He is a servant, why was he pierced by a weapon? Is Christ a servant of God or not? Let us read Acts 3:13:

“The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our father, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.”

Is Jesus a servant or not? Servant! God said, this is the heritage of the servants of God. Which is that? No weapon formed against you will prosper. The question, was Christ pierced by a weapon? Pierced. What weapon pierced Christ? Literal weapon. That is why it can not be interpreted literally like the interpretation now of those who are saying that they can’t be penetrated by an armalite (M-16 rifle), of guns, why? The greatest of all the servants of God was pierced, can you not be?

Was it only Christ who was penetrated? Here is another servant of God who was penetrated too. Let us read what happened to John the Baptist. Mar. 6:21-27

“When a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;

And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.

And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.

And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.

And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath’s sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.

And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,”

Penetrated or not? Is John the Baptist servant of God? Was John the Baptist penetrated? To Christ, nail and spear; to John the Baptist, sword. Will armalite penetrate? Let us read Acts 7:59-60, let us see if armalite will penetrate to the servant of God?

“And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.”
