BREAK OFF THY SINS/INIQUITIES…
04/27 Daily Exhortation (Heb. 3:13; 10:25; Matt. 6:11; Luke 11:3).
A 4:27 for 4/27:
Daniel 4:27 (KJB) Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.
This is the 127th verse of Daniel. Think Sarah’s death age (127) and the 127 provinces connected to Esther (etc.) and get some Bride of Christ types there on which to latch. Daniel is said to have “an excellent spirit” (Daniel 5:12) in the midst of Babylon (=confusion). Note the very rare word “tranquillity” (early modern English KJB spelling). Do we desire to elongate our tranquility?
Proverbs 13:15 Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.
Tranquility and true inner peace doesn’t come from the Old Lie of the New Age, but from Christ:
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Note in our focus passage that SINS CAN BE BROKEN OFF via righteousness and iniquities can be broken off by shewing mercy to the poor. This is packed. Let’s unpack a tad.
Job 34:31-32 Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more: That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
John 5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
John 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Instead of “sin no more” we see “sin more and more” in this prophesied “falling away”:
Hosea 13:2 And now they sin more and more…
Righteousness breaks off sins.
2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Mercy to the poor breaks off iniquities. To clarify, nobody earns eternal life. Eternal life has no beginning or end. One would have to work from everlasting to everlasting to earn it. That said, God has some basic tests to see if we will break off iniquities. The “poor” test is a brutal one for mankind. In short, a poor man’s wisdom is despised, and a man of low estate is a test from God. We are to love mercy, pray daily for our enemies, always stand willing to forgive, and not have “respect of persons” when it comes to the poor, etc. When folks mercilessly attack the “poor in this world rich in faith” (that is, The Bride of Christ with few exceptions), iniquity abounds rather than it being broken off. PASS THE TEST.
INIQUITY AND TRANQUILITY do not go hand in hand. While tranquility is extended, in paradoxical fashion, persecution arises from those whose pseudo-peace is disturbed. I will end with this passage of a poor man (Paul) who wrote most of the New Testament. He taught a breaking off of sin/iniquity and principles of mercy to the poor:
Acts 26:17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
Ac 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
Ac 26:19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
Ac 26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
Ac 26:21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.
Be prepared. The grid (Eph. 6:12) will get stirred. But you have tranquility now and eternally. By God’s grace/Spirit, BREAK OFF sins and iniquity this day, -r <3
