Scriptural Confirmations #8
8. 6. One God, one Mediator, Christ (1 Timothy 2:5-6).
God was manifest in the flesh, seen, received up (1 Timothy 3:16).
If we are act faithful, He abideth faithful: He cannot deny Himself (2 Timothy 2:13).
They profess that they know God, but in works they deny Him (Titus 1:16).
He hath in the last days spoken unto us in the Son whom He hath appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds [saecula]; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, upholding all things by the word of His power [after] He had by Himself made purification of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; to whom did He ever say, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten Thee? (Psalms 2:7) and He saith, Let all the angels of God worship Him (Psalms 97:7); and many things in Hebrews (1:2-9, 13).
Thou madest Him a little lower than the angels; Thou crownedst Him with glory and honor, and didst set Him over all the works of Thy hands: Thou hast put all things in subjection under His feet. But we see not yet all things put under Him. It became Him for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, to be the author of their salvation (Hebrews 2:7, 8, 10). He is called the chief priest and the high priest (Hebrews 2:17; 3:1). We have a great chief priest that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God (Hebrews 4:14). Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 5:10; 6:20; 7:1-3, 10-11, 15, 21). Here concerning the new covenant (Jeremiah 31:10-11).
Isaiah 5:3-15
3
And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
4
What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
5
And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
6
And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
7
For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
8
Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!
9
In mine ears said the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.
10
Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.
11
Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!
12
And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.
13
Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
14
Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
15
And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:
