The breastpiece (breastplate)

  God is Love – 3/3

meditation
The High Priest in the Old Testament:
You are to make an embroidered breastpiece (breastplate) for making decisions..
...
Place a setting of gemstones on it, four rows of stones:
...
The 12 stones are to correspond to the names of Israel’s sons. Each stone must be engraved like a seal, with one of the names of the 12 tribes.
Exo 28:15.17.21
Whenever he enters the sanctuary, Aaron is to carry the names of Israel’s sons over his heart on the breastpiece for decisions, as a continual reminder before the Lord.
Exo 28:29

The High Priest in the New Testament:
..because He, Jesus remains forever, He holds His priesthood permanently. Therefore, He is always able to save those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.
Heb 7:24-25
 

The breastpiece on the High Priest
· How many tribes was brought in the Most Holy place for intercession and decisions in the Old Covenant?
· And today, how many soul are being brought in the Most Holy place where Jesus intercedes for them?
· They are on the "breastpiece" of the Mighty priest, forever, "like a seal" on His heart.
Would you pls. open now the Song of Songs at 8:6?

⚠ Warning!
you need to be aware that attempts to correlate the tribal stones with the stones on the foundations of the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21) meet with several difficulties:
The correlation between the Hebrew names of the stones of the breastplate and the Greek names of the stones is uncertain.
The foundations of the New Jerusalem are named according to the apostles and not by the Israeli tribes. Therefore there is not a precise correlation between the stones on the foundations and the stones of the tribes.
As for the foundations of Her walls it is more focused to make a comparison with Isaiah 60:18 where it is said of Zion (the Church in the New Testament meaning), “You will call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise” which is more the subject of Revelation 21.

The " Influential " series - Part One From the first days of his earthly ministry, Jesus proclaimed the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven. More precisely, he announced that his Kingdom had arrived. It has many manifestations in the invisible and visible world. The dynamic of the Kingdom basically: the life, ability and power of the King: The God Almighty . The better we understand His character and abilities, the better we represent his Kingdom in the visible world. The apostolic teaching says: By faith we understand that the universe* was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. Heb 11:3 {ESV} *Lit. “we understand that the ages of the world (aions) were created by the word of God, so that out of the invisible came the visible.” Here is an important connection between aion and the Word of God The Holman translation is more specific: By faith we understand that the univers

by David Guzik – Enduringword.com David Guzik vagyok, és ma egy rövid áhítati gondolat erejéig azt szeretném felolvasni, amit a Szent Szellem Pál apostol által mondott az Efézus 6. fejezetének 13. versében, ahol ezt olvassuk: vegyétek fel az Isten fegyverzetét, hogy ellenállhassatok a gonosz napon, és mindent leküzdve megállhassatok. Ef 6:13 {NT HU} Pál már az Efézus 6. fejezet 11. versében, két verssel korábban bevezette az Isten teljes fegyverzetének gondolatát. A következő versekben pedig részletezte az Isten fegyverzetéhez kapcsolódó konkrét elemeket. Ebben a versben, az Efézus 6, 13. versben egyszerűen elmondja, hogy mi a lelki harc és Isten fegyverzetének fő célja. Egyszerűen azt mondta, hogy azért kaptuk a lelki fegyverzetet, hogy képesek legyetek ellenállni a gonosz napon, és mindent megtéve megállni. Ez leírja, hogy mire használjuk Isten erejét és Isten fegyverzetét. Látjátok, Pál elsődleges képe nem az, hogy a keresztény kimegy és megtámadja a lelki ell

Is "Hesed" equal to "Agape"?

God is Love – 1/3 ..how the two loves are linked A study on divine love and the intertwined Christian character Kindness and faithful love (hesed) pursue me every day of my life. I make my home in the house of YHWH for all time to come. Psalm 23:6 For this is how God loved (agape) the world: he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. John 3:16 What is Hesed? The word that is translated to “faithful love” is the Hebrew word “ Hesed (or ' checed' ).” This word is translated in other places as “kindness,” “faithfulness,” “mercy,” “goodness,” “loyalty,” and “steadfast love.” God's love for His covenant people in the Old Testament is expressed by the Hesed . This love expressed in the Hebrew texts as hesed we'emet for example in Gen 24:49; 32:11; 47:29; Ex 34:6; Jos 2:14; 2 Sam 2:6; 15:20. However hesed has a narrower definition than the English word " love ". In th
