What part of this Book is not for you?
Deedle:
Eph 2:2
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Col 3:6
For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

--- Quote from: Mike ---Mal 3:3 And he shall sit [as] a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
Did Christ purify the Sons of Levi? Of course He did not. They killed Him. Is Malachi therefore a heretic?

Yes Christ did! Who are the sons of Levi if not the elect? The elect is the Israel of God and they have been purified by Christ's blood. Why must we see Malachi's prophecy according to physical Israel.
Didn't God say that he would make a royal priesthood and a special people. He was talking TO physical Jews. But who was he talking about? US. WE are a holy nation and a royal priesthood.

Wasn't that Mike's point? That's what I understood him to be saying... that it was not the PHYSICAL (sons of Levi), but the SPIRITUAL (sons of Levi).
That this was a Prophecy... and meant to be 'applied' SPIRITUALLY.

It sounds like Mike to make that point, but in his wording I must have missed it. I'll look again.

Good scriptures Deedle.
Every time I think of the 7 Plagues, I think of Egypt's 10 plagues, and then I think of Goshen. Aren't we in Goshen? What does it say that the Jews were in Goshen not recieving the 10 plagues, but were then delivered out of Egyptian slavery?
Could it be that Egypt represents the sinful flesh, recieving the plagues, while we spiritual Jews, at the same time, are preserved in Goshen awaiting complete deliverance through the manifold presence of the Holy Spirit within? Paul says that we are no longer in the flesh, while Peter says that we still contend with fiery trials of temptation. But the more we are putting to death the deeds of the body, the less plagues we recieve because we are "coming out of her." Maybe. Just thinking out loud.
