 The Comforting, and Fruitful Holy Spirit from Our Father, leads us and trains us in this process - lest we grow resentful towards our Husband or our Father.... The Holy Spirit is always gentle and peaceable Jam 3:17. HE leads me beside still waters, HE restores My Soul.... Psa 23. The result is Sanctification - the world, flesh and devil cannot stand in HIS Presence. HIS Giftings teach me and HIS Fruit consoles me as I’m trained. We learn to come boldly through The Blood, with JESUS into GOD’s Presence.

 Gen 32:20 tells of Jacob’s efforts to reconcile with Esau - Jacob offered gifts and divisions of his family before they met. Jacob is a type of the fleshly man - who seeks to bargain with the adversary. JESUS said to agree with him quickly - Refer him to Our Brother, who is the perfect High Priest, advocate and intercessor. In Jesus, we have access to all of Heaven’s resources.

 Exo 19-20 Details the Marriage Contract - The Fearful Nature of GOD and the Trumpet Louder and Louder.... All this weight was laid on JESUS at the Garden before  HE was sacrificed. The Sun Darkened, The Moon to Blood on that Day. So we can come in Peace and Love in our heart and mind.

  Chapter 12:18 thru 12:29

IX   – Commandment 9: No Lies

 - Purpose: To Show GOD’s Eternal Promises are true and trustworthy.

 – Why does GOD offer Promises? To encourage us to look up and away from earthly entanglements. To Help us see The Heavenly Realities that await the Faithful who are undergoing discipline.

12:22 ‘We are come To Mount Zion and The Heavenly City, Jerusalem.’

Finally Hebrews refers to ‘Zion’ but it is ‘The Heavenly Jerusalem and Mount we come to, and to the Church enrolled in Heaven and GOD the judge all and to the Spirits of just men made perfect’. Into all this we come daily as though we are the only one there with HIM - with our high priest entered into the holiest of all... we come.

 One Day we will come with the great innumerable company to The Wedding Supper with rejoicing and celebration, and in due time we will sit with HIM on The Throne. Rev 19, 20, 21, & 22....

12:22 ”But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant,”

 The temporary and captive city - soon to be destroyed by Rome, could not be the place we look for!!! Only this once is Sion mentioned in Hebrews. It is The Heavenly City and city of the Living GOD we have in our mind and heart.

 In the perfect tense, ”ye are come”  shows the reality of  The relationship we have with ‘Christ in us The Hope of Glory,’ ‘Ye in ME and I in you’, ‘Our father’, ‘Abba father’, etc. etc. – We are ONE in HIM.

12:23 ‘GOD the Judge of All’ is not a one day thing, but HE constantly deals with those HE loves. The wicked shall be dissolved and raised again for judgment, but HIS beloved are constantly in the Presence of The Holy Spirit.... GOD is not sleeping and JESUS is not too busy, but we are disciplined just as HIS disciples were, and The Holy Spirit is constantly present within us....

JESUS is The Living Second Goat, Who is taken away and released into a far Place - into Heaven Itself.

 The failures of Jewish history cannot be our examples but our warnings. Traditions can not make void the word of GOD.
