In accordance to the Good Will and Pleasure of God in that He controls His Creations and Governs His Creatures, according to the multiplicities of laws in which He enacts, there is a law, that clarifies this scripture which in part was given. Herein is the Law.
“IF YE KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS YE SHALL PROSPER IN THE LAND””. INASMUCH AS YE KEEP THEM NOT YE SHALL BE CUT OFF FROM THE PRESENCE (“OF MY SPIRIT”)
Let this suffice for now.
Very nice, Taylor. It is so important to point out that treaty-covenant relationship. And it is also biblical:
Deut 29:9, “Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper”; Joshua 1:7, “observe to do all the law,..that thou mayest prosper”; John 15:10, “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love”; cf. Wisdom of Solomon 3:9.
