EPHOD
Posted on: 01-02-2014
It is the garment used as per instructions received by GOD JEHEVOAH to Moses in exodus from EGYPT to Promised Land. And they shall make the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, scarlet, and fine twined bleached linen, skilled work. It shall have the two shoulder-pieces of it joined at the two edges of it. And so it shall be joined together. And the embroidered girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according to the work of it: of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined bleached linen. And you shall take two onyx stones, and you shall engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel. Six of their names shall be on one stone, and six of the remaining names on the other stone, according to their birth. With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel. You shall make them to be set in settings of gold. And you shall put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod for stones of memorial to the sons of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before Jehovah upon his two shoulders for a memorial. The BIBLE tells us about a man called GIDEON in book of JUDGES. And Gideon made an ephod of it, and put it in his city, in Ophrah. And all Israel went there lusting after it, which thing became a snare to Gideon and to his house. When a man disobeys GOD’s message given explicitly in his word, it is an open invitation for SATAN. Do not develop your ephod and start believing it, as most people think today after fulfilling their traditions, rather search your inequality, deficiencies thorough GOD’s word. Lack of submission to Master JESUS enables Satan comes like a roaring lion and devour not only him, but also develops complete bondage for the entire family which include their descendant’s also. This happens at a time when everything appears to be fine, going in the right direction and manner. The life seems so easy with presence of Living GOD, miracles happens all around us, suddenly small mistake with relying on our own understanding leads us to way of everlasting destruction. The PRIDE leads us to destruction, without realizing the blessings which made everything very easy around us. The entire events witnessed by GIDEON and his family after this are given in book if Judges. The question we may have in our minds is, How can be this avoided? The answer lies in- And everything, whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him. The moment you take the name of precious master Jesus Christ on your lips, you start to control the situations, understand the plans of destruction developed by SATAN. Satan plans are plans which never materialize because when thanksgiving is being offered in name of JESUS Christ to everlasting GOD. The GLORY of GOD is exalted which fulfils our existence on the face of earth. GOD BLESSES. Amen!
