Doctrines of War, Sanctification, Dying Grace

INTRODUCTION TO THIS STUDY

The purpose of this work is to guide you in Spirit Filled interpretation of this "Selected Study". As necessary we will provide outlines, historical backgrounds, note the purpose and focus of the text, and also provide the original hebrew language definitions for the key words in the highlighted text. The English translation used is the King James (Authorized) Version, not because it is the best translation available, but because I just plain prefer it for study!

All Scripture text will be presented in normal cased lettering, and all notes within the text will be in TRUE TYPE FONT, as shown. This (I hope) will allow you to avoid confusion between God's Word and my notes. As I update this website, I will continue to embellish the text so that anyone using NETSCAPE 3.0 or MICROSOFT 3.0 will be able to read the document easier.

If you discover obvious errors (as I am human, and do make mistakes), please let me know. Do not contact me to argue about the doctrinal differences that you may have with my teaching. I do not argue Theology with anyone, so all Legalists, cultists, and others with extremist views, please save your (and my) time. If you want to discuss your doctrinal differences, or share a viewpoint, please contact me at Didaskalos Ministries. I am not so arrogant as to think I know it all, or even 1% of what the scripture teaches.

Through Christ, Who taught us the way to Love: David Buffaloe, Didaskalos Ministries

He shall deliver (NATSAL, HIPHIEL IMPERFECT = CAUSE YOU TO BE DELIVERED OR SAVED) thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch (NAGA = TO MEDDLE WITH OR UPSET) thee.

Jb:5:21:

Thou shalt be hid (NIPHEL IMPERFECT, CHABAH = COMPLETELY HIDDEN, DEFINITELY HIDDEN) from the scourge of the tongue: (POETICAL REFERENCE TO GOSSIP AND BACKBITING) neither shalt thou be afraid (JARA, KAL IMPERFECT = AT NO TIME BE AFRAID) of destruction (SHODH = VIOLENT OR PAINFUL DEATH) when it cometh.

Jb:5:22:

At destruction (SHODH = VIOLENT OR PAINFUL DEATH) and famine thou shalt laugh: (SACHAQ, KAL IMPERFECT = LAUGH IN A RELAXED MANNER) neither shalt thou be afraid (JARE, KAL IMPERFECT = NEVER HAVING FEAR) of the beasts of the earth. (IDIOMATIC OF THE VARIOUS MEANS OF VIOLENT DEATH ON THE EARTH)

Jb:5:23:

For thou shalt be in league with the stones (REFERS TO ANCIENT WEAPONRY) of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

The Doctrine of War

  1. War is a natural part of human history, and will exist while man possesses an old sin nature: Mat 24.6-7; Mark 13.7-8; Luke 21.9-10
  2. War will only cease during the millinial reign of Jesus Christ: Isa 2.4; Mic 4.3
  3. War and peace follow natural cycles in human history: Eccl 3.8
  4. A nation led by God fights His wars: Num 21.14-20
  5. The military draft was mandatory to all Israelites from the age of 20 years old and up: Num 1.3; 26.2
    1. Only newlywed men were exempted from the draft, and then only for one year after marriage: Deu 24.5
  6. War has one goal: to kill the enemy and win: Josh 11.16-23
  7. The only peace man will realize comes from wars that he has won: Josh 14.12-15
  8. Only God can stop wars: Psa 46.8-11
  9. God aids His Faithful during times of war: 2 Ki 19.32-37; 1 Chron 5.19-22; Deu 20.1-20; Psa 27.1-3; 2 Sam 22.32; Psa 18.32-34; 144.1; Job 5.20; 38.21-23
  10. God does not recognize "conscientious objectors": Num 32.5-23

  12. Enemies of a nation teach the members of that nation how to do battle: Jud 3.1-2
  13. Liberals think that man can bring about his own peace: Mic 3.5-6; Psa 55.20-23
  14. If we rely on anyone but God during war we are destined to fail: 2 Chron 16.7-9; Isa 3.16-26
  15. Those who start wars without cause will surely suffer: Mat 26.52

Jb:5:24:

And thou shalt know (JADA, KAL PERFECT = CONTINUALLY PERCEIVE) that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit (PAQADH, KAL PERFECT = TO GO TO AND STAY.A REFERENCE TO HEAVEN) thy habitation, and shalt not sin. (REFERS TO ULTIMATE SANCTIFICATION)
 

Doctrine of Sanctification

  1. Sanctification (Hagios in the New Testament Greek) means to be "set apart for God's use". Whenever you find the words "holy, sanctify, saint, or sanctification" in your Bible, these words are usually always from this same Greek root.
  2. Three types of sanctification are recognized in scripture:
    1. When we were saved we were all entered into union with Christ. Because we accepted what He did for us, God the Father identifies us with His death, burial, and ressurection. This is called Positional Sanctification: 1 Cor 1.2, 30; 6.11; 10.10; Heb 10.10
    2. As believers in union with Christ we grow daily to be more like Him through the power of the Holy Spirit. This is called Progressive Sanctification: 2 Thes 2.13; John 17.17
    3. When we pass from this life and into Heaven all sin is eradicated from us. This is called Ultimate Sanctification: 1 Thes 5.23; 1 Cor 1.8; 1 John 3.1-2; Phil 3.21; Rom 8.29
  3. The Divine Agents of sanctification:
    1. The Agent of Positional Sanctification is Jesus Christ: Heb 10.10-14
    2. The Agents of Progressive Sanctification are both the Holy Spirit and the Holy Bible: Rom 15.16; 2 Thes 2.13; 1 Pet 2.1; John 17.17; Eph 5.26
    3. The Agent of Ultimate Sanctification is God the Father

Jb:5:25:

Thou shalt know (JADA, KAL PERFECT = CONTINUALLY PERCEIVE) also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth. (YOU SHALL HAVE INNER PEACE KNOWING THAT GOD WILL TAKE CARE OR YOUR LOVED ONES WHEN YOU ARE GONE)

Jb:5:26:

Thou shalt come (JADA, KAL IMPERFECT = FINALLY COME) to thy grave in a full age, (NOT NECESSARILY AN OLD AGE, BUT AT THE RIGHT TIME AS DETERMINED BY GOD) like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.
 

Doctrine of Dying Grace

  1. DYING GRACE DELIVERS THE BELIEVER FROM THE DEPRESSION OF DEATH: PSA 33.18-19
  2. GOD TAKES CARE OF THE MATURE BELIEVER MOVING TOWARD DEATH: PSA 116.15
  3. DYING GRACE REMOVES THE FEAR OF DEATH: PSA 23.4
    1. BITTERNESS IS ALSO REMOVED: 2 TI 4.5-8

  5. DYING GRACE ILLUSTRATED: GEN 25.7-8; JOB 13.15

Lo this, we have searched (CHAQAR, KAL PERFECT = TO RESEARCH SO AS TO DETERMINE THAT IT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE) it, so it is; hear (SHAMA, KAL IMPERFECT = TO HEAR AND COMPREHEND) it, and know thou it for thy good. (SEE ALSO PSA 116.15; JAMES 3.2-13; 1.26; 1 THES 2.4; 1 COR 2.4)
