Applied in the lower case relates a future tense. Jesus’ appointee or one
anointed as Lord will shake the faith of most, but comprehension may need
further reflection to grasp the meaning. Regardless of your doctrinal
preference, your heart must be converted, but, if you lack wisdom, the
words expressed herein will have little value. The house that Jesus referred
to indicates of a spiritual house that is a physical body or body of people. If
the spirit of God is alive and active within, you will know the Father’s will
and who the Father is today. Knowledge is insufficient; knowledge will no
longer suffice because it only allows a person to know about God. It is used
to establish belief, to establish a theory that is insufficient. The Sadducees
and Pharisees or teachers of the law had knowledge, but to what avail? We

seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
For, ‘All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands

are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has
died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first
covenant. In the case of a will, it is necessary to prove the death of the one
