This series is designed to follow "line upon line" (Isa.9-10)
As you begin with Phase One and systematically study each phase until the Conclusion, you will see a great Master plan (i.e. blueprint)
that the Spirit of God (2Tim.3:16-17) has "sketched out" for us in the Old Testament "ensamples." (types, shadows 1Cor.10:11) When this
Great Master Plan is studied and compared with Church History, we can see where the Church have come from, where the Church is now
and where the Church going.

Defective Offerings (A form of godliness) Page.2 of 2
In the New Testament, these blemishes can be removed because of "grace." (John.1:17,
Eph.5:26-27)
1. Grace does not excuse the Blemish!
Grace still wants the blemish to be
removed! Jesus said, "Think not that I
have come to destroy...(this)...law"
(Matt.5:17-19) Grace does not cancel
out the law of no blemishes in the
offerings) it fulfills (completes it)
a. The law of no blemishes (1) Is ordained to life. (Rom.7:10)
(2) This law is holy. (Rom.7:12)
(3) It is just and good. (Rom.7:12)
(4) This Law is spiritual. (Rom.7:14)
b. We fulfill this law in Christ
There "is therefore now no
condemnation to them which are in
Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:That the righteousness of the law (of no blemishes) might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." (Rom.8:1-4) God has not changed His standards (values, morals, principles, model, patterns)
1. The washing of water by the Word will removed blemishes That "he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he
might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing;
but that it should be holy and without blemish." (Eph.5:26-28)
a. The word "washing" (1) This word in the Greek is, "Laver or a bath" (Stong's / Young's Concordances)
(2) This a direct link to the Laver in the Tabernacle of Moses. (Exod.30:17-21)
b. The Priest had to wash himself daily (make corrections)
(1) That he die not. (Exod.30:17-21)
Choosing to let God work in your life daily by reading and applying His Word, is a
serious matter! (Note: 1Cor.3:13-15) The Bereans "were more noble than those in
Thessalonica in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and
searched (applied the water of the word. Eph.5:26)the scriptures daily..."
(Acts.17:10-11)
(2) His "hands (our works - Eph.2:8) and his "feet (our walk - Eph.4:1) that he die not.
3. Be on alert because there are competing Brides (true and false) out there! There are "Two women (Brides) ...grinding at the mill" (Matt.24:41-42) in these last of
the last days. Two preparations taking place using this pattern of the Offerings!
a. True preparation for the true Bride. (1) The "great mystery" (Eph.5:21-32, 2Cor.11:1-3, Rev.12)
(2) This is the true Bride that is "taken." (Matt.24:41-42) (Review: Phase.12, Page.8)
b. False preparation for the false bride This is another bride for "another Jesus" (2Cor.11:1-15)
The antichrist. (Just "like" the real - Isa.14:11-14)
(1) This the "mystery of iniquity" that is already working.
This is "Mystery Babylon the Great"
(2) The false bride is "left" in the tribulation sitting on the beast
(the antichrist) (Matt.24:41-42) (Review: Phase.12, Page.8)
Don't let this world infiltrate
your preparation by infecting
your Sin, Trespass, Burnt,
Meal and Peace Offerings with
a blemish!
God's Word says, "Love not the world, neither the things that
are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the
Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the
flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not
of the Father, but is of the world." (1John.2:15-17) The apostle told the Corinthian Church, "I fear,
lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, (with the "lust of the flesh."
Eve "good for food"- Gen.3:6, "the lust of the eyes." Eve "saw:- Gen.3:6, the pride of life." Eve "to make one wise"- Gen.3:6) so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. (2Cor.11:3-4)
Conclusion
Be a responsible Priest before the Lord and offer the correct Offering, without blemish, in the right order.
