Eternal
life is this: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus-Christ, whom you have
sent. John 17/3.
To
know God is much more than having a more or less clear idea, opocrr to know
more or less precisely who He is. It is more than being informed about His existence
and personality. It is also more than having gained an intellectual knowledge
about Him. To know God is to have a personal relation with Him. It is to be
in a creational relationship with Him.
The
Doctrine of the Lamb leads you through the Gate to the Royal Hall of the Grace
of God. Since this book has been in your hands, you have been holding the Keys
which allow you to go through the Gates which have been kept locked during centuries
by clerics who were interested to keep the truth unknown from the people.

AARON,
OT
Brother of Moses. Son of Amram and Jochebed, of the tribe of Levi Ex 6/16-20 Elder brother of Moses. Ex 7/7.
On
God's command, he helped Moses bring out the children of Israel from Egypt.
He served as his spokeman, Ex 4/10,27-31; 5/1-12/51.
Moses
receives instructions about the assignment of Aaron and of his four sons at
the time of the priesthood of Aaron, on the Mount Sinai. Ex 28/1-4.
Urged by the people, Aaron built a golden calf, Ex 32/1-6, 21, 24, 35.
He dies at the age of 123 years, on the mountain of Hor, Nb 33/38-39.
Prophesied
the end of Edom. We ignore if he prophesied during the reign of Joram (848-844
BC) or during the Babylonian invasion in 586 BC.
His
book contains only one chapter. There, Abdias talks about the fall of Edom.
He also announces that liberators will climb the mount of Zion.
ABED-NEGO.
O.T. Also see Daniel.
Schadrac,
Meschec and Abed-Nego are three young Israelites who are taken to the palace
of Nebuchadnezzar at the same time as Daniel, king of Babylon. The Hebrew name
of Abed-Nego was Azariah. They refused to become impure by eating and drinking
the wine of the king. Dan 1. Nebuchadnezzar threw them in the fiery furnace,
but a 'Son of the Gods' protects them Dan 3/25. We know that it was
the Lord Jesus Himself who was walking with them in the fire. It was a theophany,
i.e.: an appearance of God, a manifestation of Christ.
ABEL.
OT
First
son of Adam and Eve. Gn 4/2. The first son of Eve is Cain; but Cain
is not the son of Adam. Cain is the son of the serpent. (see
Abel offers to God a sacrifice of a much greater value than his twin brother Cain. Gn 4/4-5; Heb 11/4.) There was blood in AbeThe s sacrifice, and it made his sacrifice better. Heb 9/22. Abel saw through faith what was pleasing to God. Abel is assassinated by his brother Cain. Gn 4/8
ABOMINATION.
See sin.
In
the Holy Scriptures, whatever inspires distate or aversion in those who are
justified and purified by the blood of Jesus.
Lips
that lie are abhorrent to Yahweh Pro 12/22. Pride is abominable to the
eyes of the Lord as well as the wickedness and immodesty after murder and idolatry
(to worship foreign Gods) and the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit which is
the worst of abominations. See Blasphemy.
ABRAHAM.
OT
Son
of Terach, born in Ur, Chaldea Gn 11/26, 31; 17/5.) Prophet with whom
the Lord made eternal Covenants. See Covenant.
All the nations are blessed in Abraham.
He
emigrates to Haran where Terah, his father dies. Gn 11/31-32. He is
called by God to go to Canaan and receive a Divine Covenant, Gn 12/1-8.
He goes to Egypt, Gn 12/9-20. And settles in Hebron, Gn 13/18.
He saves Lot, Gn 14/1-16. Meets Melchizedek, Gn 14/18-20. Hagar
gives him his son Ismael, Gn 16/15-16. His name is changed in Abraham,
Gn 17/5. Abraham and Sara receive the promise of God that they will
have a son, Gn 17/15-22; 18/1-14. Sara gives him a son Isaac, Gn
21/2-3. He receives The order to sacrifice his son Isaac, Gn 22/1-18.
Death and funeral of Sara, Gn 23/1-2,19. Death and funeral of Abraham,
Gn 25/8-10.
The
voluntary sacrifice of Isaac by his father Abraham is a type of the sacrifice
similar to that of Jesus-Christ, the Son. If you have received the Holy Spirit,
you are the descent of Abraham. Gal
3/27-29. Rm 9/6 - 29.
One
of the worst kings of the Northern kingdom, Israel. He married Jezabel, a princess
of Sidon. She introduced the cult of Baal and of Astarte in Israel, (1 Kings
16/29-33. 2 Kings 3/2.) and she wanted to get rid of the prophets and of
the worship of the Lord. (1 Kings 18/13.)
Theophile
received two books written by Luke. The first is the Gospel of Luke. Chapters
1 to 12 of the book of Acts record the great missionnary activities of the Apostles.
The chapters 13 to 28 describe the missionnary work of the Apostle Paul. In
this book, we become familiar with the only organization willed by God for the
Church, the Community life. Acts ch 2 and 4. All other forms invented
by man are not based on the scriptures and are tolerated by God. Likewise He
tolerates the divorce between a married man and a woman. In the beginning, it
was not like this. Matt 19/8.
Adam
is the earthly name of a son of God, of the first incarnated siprit. See Spirit.
Michael. But he is not the father of all mankind. Adam is not The father of
Cain. Cain has his own offspring. Gn 4/ 17-24. Adam has his own offspring.
Gn 4/25 to 5/32. Cain is a son of the serpent. The name of Cain does
not appear in the genealogy of Jesus which we find in Matthew 1/1 to 17,
or in Luke 3/23 to 38. 1Chron 1/1 does not mention him either. He is
not recognized as the son of Adam. On the other hand, the Bible says he was
of the Devil. 1Jn 3/12.
Adam
transgressed the law of God in the garden of Eden Gn 3. He caused the
fall and became mortal. Mortality is an indispensable step for the progress
of the sons of God. The fact that he sinned did not deprive him of his nature
of son of God. Adam and Eve transgressed the law of God in the garden, but it
was part of the redemptive plan of God. We should not stain the reputation of
Adam, or of Eve. In order to become our Savior, God needed us to be lost.
God
created man in His Image (He intended to create him in his resemblance, but
created him in His Image only. Through our life of faith and dedication, we
become the resemblance of God 2 Peter 1/ 5-8.) He gives man the dominon
over everything and orders him to subdue and fill the earth. God had to be the
father of all. Adam had Eve with God. Then, the serpent enticed Eve, had an
affair with her. God reduced the human being to the level of animals. Ever since,
humans have reproduced like animals. But God does not give up His divine plan.
He prepares a Bride for an eternity without the devil, without sin. We should
note that God ''had'' Eve with Adam and that Mary ''had'' Jesus with God. And
it is through a spiritual relation that Jesus could have children; (born again
children.) Jn 3/3-8.
God
put Adam in the garden of Eden and forbids him from consumating the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil. Gn 2/7-9. Adam gives a name to all the
living beings. Gn 2/19-20. Adam, after having consumated, became like
God concerning the knowledge of good and evil. Gn 3/22. Adam and Eve
were expelled from the garden of Eden. Gn 3. Adam was 930 years when
he died. Gn 5/5. It is never said that he is the father of all the living.
On the other hand, it is written that Eve is the mother of all the living. All
the living have Eve as a mother, but some have the serpent (the devil) as a
father
