THE SHILF of FAITH
is the wall of brothers to defend nation, state, city, neighborhood, home.
It is where men stand to die true, for the sons after.
To put faith in GOD's WORD, HIS COMMAND, HIS LAWS, is how we have faith in GOD. and thus this will quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
FAITH IN GOD'S WORD
The faith in GOD's word is demonstrated.
The bred of GOD is the command, that which Adam did not adhere to, thus the sweat of his brow unto bread, so either it is your works, or his word as the bread. Luk 4:3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
Luk 4:4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. Gen 3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
Gen 3:18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; Gen 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. THE SERVING ONE GOD THE GOD of our FAITH
Luk 4:7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. Luk 4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Mat 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Mat 4:11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
The tempting is the throwing down the daughters,
Luk 4:11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Luk 4:12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Luk 4:13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. Mat 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Mat 4:11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
Gen 3:11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? Gen 3:12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
Thus is Adam brought to dust, and the daughter is Eve, mother to all living.
SPARTA LIKE ISRAEL
Song of Songs 4:4
Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armory, Whereon there hang a thousand bucklers,
All the shields of the mighty men.
The neck like the tower of David where on hand thousandsof bucklers, all the shields of mighty men, is the defense of mothers, widows, orphans, and dumb at the gate, to establish one self on guard is to establish his neighbor, for as you are so is your neighbor.
This above verse is easily desccribed as The Spartan Shield, which is the same as the soldiers of Israel, and is the same shield of faith in the armor of GOD.
In Sparta they would say,"come back with your shield or on it," and this did shout mothers, sisters, wives, and daughters.The Spartans were not allowed to retreat from a battle, for they like Israel did not count the troop, to see what they could conguer, but rather what they would fight for was the family, the home, the nation, always having the righteous cause one does not need to count his troop, for it is worth dying for.
when asked about the reason for shaming the dropping of the shield, and not the dagger, sword, spear, helmet, what have you.The Spartan General replies
Everything but the shield is for the individual, but the shield is for the whole of the line, the whole of the nation.
So to is the shield of faith. It is under one GOD, with one word, one command, all and only wise LORD GOD of THE WORD, means we know the faith in which we stand with understanding, to die for, even unto crucifixion. Thus we know who we serve in faith.THE RIGHT HAND TERRIBLE THINGS
TERRIBLE CAN BE TRANSLATED MIRACULOUS ALSO ;
think of it like Daniel's Terrible Image, for the prophecy to the king of Babylon, thus to all men, all men being elected royal priests, and that image by men, with the correction of GOD from Zion, the man of faith, i.e. Martin Luther shatters the Roman Catholic Church, one pebble of Zion, a reborn seed of Abraham. Thus, compare that image, gold-minded, silver-tongued liar and hands, to that of THE IMAGE OF GOD, Gen 1:26-28. Those who repent from piggishly eating their families confessing the truth, the command is all righteous true, to be obeyed. Sir 15:16 He hath set fire and water before thee: stretch forth thy hand unto whether thou wilt.
Sir 38:10 Leave off from sin, and order thine hands aright, and cleanse thy heart from all wickedness. Psa 45:4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
NOTE: The bottomless pit, is where liars that don't repent come from. For hell is never full neither the eye, like the barren womb, and thus to make the children alive, they must need get them the truth. Pro 30:15 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:
Pro 30:16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
Pro 30:17 The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
