Resurrection of the dead
The twenty-four seats are placed into the midst of Romania , the country of the Lord ’ s judgment , and twenty-four Israelites sit on them . Half of them come from the beginning of Israel , and the other half come from the end of Israel . They have the faith to stand before God for Israel . Amen . No one can judge the faithful one , but on the contrary , he can judge everyone for God . The One , Who sends His word on earth , is the Lord , Whose Word runs fast ; it is the Lord , Who proclaims His word to Jacob , applying His corrections and judgments for Israel . Amen .
Listen , you , sons of Israel ! What good is it to the one who knows the Law from cover to cover , if he does not fulfill it ? Behold , the teaching and the life are not received from those that are learned , for the poor man thanks to the one who gives him , if he gives him well , and he does not look to see if the one who gives him alms and life is wise or simple . Do you believe in the prophets ? We know you do . The prophets made a name for themselves and for their people , testifying about God ’ s justice . This is how we work too , we who were faithful disciples of the Truth , Who came from heaven on earth into the midst of Israel two thousand years ago , when you became callous not to believe in order to fulfill Isaiah ’ s prophecy which says : « You will ever be hearing with your own ears but never understanding , you will be ever seeing but never perceiving , for this people ’ s heart has become calloused , and they hardly hear with their ears , and they have closed their eyes , otherwise they might see with their eyes , hear with their ears , understand with their hearts , and turn , and I would heal them ».
Then the Lord left wondering away with His grace into His arms , and He chose again a place for Him . He made a new people and asked it into marriage and called it the country of His returning to the end of the time , the country of brightness , for the things that He put on them now , at the end of the times ; the country of the Romanians , which has been raised through Christ , at the preaching of His messengers . The Lord set in it our judgment seats for Israel as well , for we are Israelites . We have no way of staying in the country of Israel , because of Israel ’ s disbelief , because Israel ’ s haughtiness , but we are Israelites on earth and in heaven , and we are alive by our faith in Jesus Christ , Who came on earth by a Virgin , fulfilling Isaiah ’ s prophecy through the people of Israel . However , you did not believe and grew callous . Now , we , God ’ s chosen remnant through grace , preach this word over you saying : it was not by the law that Abraham and his seed received the promise that they would inherit the world , but by the righteousness that comes from faith , for if the heirs are those that have the law , then their faith is futile , and the promise was abolished , since the law brings about a cause of wrath . However , where there is no law , there is also not a law breaking . So the promise is by faith alone , so that it may be as a gift and to have reliability for everyone ; both for those who live according to the law and for those who live according to Abraham ’ s faith , whom the Lord told this way : « I made you a father for many nations , and this is how your seed will be ». Amen .
Or , do you not know that the law has power over the man as long as he lives ? For if the married woman is bound to her husband by law as long as he lives , and if her husband dies , she is free from law . And so it is with us ; we died to the law by Christ and by His body , to be His , of the One Who rose from the dead , to be fruitful to God for the renewal of the Spirit , not by the oldness of the letter . The law is holy and spiritual , and the commandment is also holy , good and right , but the body is flesh and is sold under the sin . However , Jesus Christ saved us from the body of this death , to be His for the renewal of the Spirit . Amen . We are the witnesses of Christ ’ s resurrection , Whom God raised from the dead , and to Whom He put His enemies under His feet . Let the entire house of Israel know that the One they crucified was made Lord and Christ .
