<\/strong> And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim <\/em><\/strong>and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron’s heart, when he goeth in before the Lord: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the Lord continually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leviticus 8:8 Numbers 27:21 Deuteronomy 33:8 1 Samuel 28:6 Ezra 2:63 Nehemiah 7:65 In all 7 usages, the Hebrew word urim has some enlightening truths: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Definition of urim:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Brown-Driver-Briggs<\/strong> [concordance] The Hebrew word “urim” comes from the Hebrew word “ur” = flame, which comes from the Hebrew word “or” [definition below]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance [spock] Fascinating captain.[\/spock]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Look at the connection and application of this truth in our administration of grace with Jesus Christ, the light of the world from the east. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Revelation 22:16 Matthew 2:2 “His star” was actually the planet Jupiter, also known as the king planet. Jesus Christ is king of the Judeans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Matthew 24:27 John 12:46 Colossians 1:27 Philippians 2:15 God’s light always dispels the darkness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before we can successfully defeat the powers of this world in the spiritual competition mentioned in Ephesians 6, 3 prerequisites are in perfect order in chapter 5: <\/p>\n\n\n\n 2 And walk in love<\/em><\/strong>, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:<\/em><\/strong> In verse 9, the word “spirit” is a mistranslation! It’s actually the Greek word photos, which means light<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 15 See then that ye walk circumspectly,<\/em><\/strong> not as fools, but as wise,<\/p>\n\n\n\n The word “light” is used 5 times in Ephesians 5: walking in light is a prerequisite of defeating the power of darkness in Ephesians 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I John 1:5 I John 2 Job certainly is a fantastic example of man’s frailties and strengths. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lesson learned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Greek word “hoplon” means weapon or implement and is used either by itself or as a root word 7 times in the church epistles [Romans – Thessalonians] and 7 is the number of spiritual perfection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Romans 13:12 The urim stone hidden in the breastplate of the high priest’s garment represents God’s pure light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the old testament equivalent of the armour of light in the age of grace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The thummim stone hidden in the breastplate of the high priest’s garment represents God’s integrity and righteousness, which is the old testament equivalent to the armour of God’s righteousness in the age of grace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n II Corinthians 6:7 Ephesians 6:11 Ephesians 6:13 The way that people of God receive revelation from God is by the gift of holy spirit. In the old testament, it was upon them upon a condition, but in the age of grace, it is within them as incorruptible spiritual seed, the Christ within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The gift of holy spirit was not used by Joseph Smith to translate the book of Mormon in 1830. Instead he used material objects that manifested visions in the 5-senses realm, which is the operation of devil spirits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A few years ago, I researched the book of Mormon and wrote 3 articles on what I found: the book of mormon is a religious counterfeit of the bible! <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Just look at what the book of Mormon, chapter 8, verse 12 says of itself!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, since the book of Mormon openly admits it has “imperfections” in it, then the following is also true: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Compare the book of Mormon with the word of God: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Romans 12:2 So we can choose the perfect will of God in the form of the bible, or the book of Mormon, which admits it has imperfections in it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, the phrase “most correct book” does not mean its perfect. It just means that its better than all other books, which is an obvious lie because the bible is God’s greatest work and is absolutely perfect and eternal. <\/p>\n In part 2, we looked at the thummim, one of the hidden stones in the breastplate of the priest’s garment that indicated God’s integrity. Now we will see the significance of the urim, which is only used 7 times in the bible, the number of spiritual perfection. It is also one of the hidden stones […]<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2576","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-food-for-thought"],"yoast_head":"\n
