Hosea 12:5-7 Even the Lord God of hosts : the Lord is his memorial. Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on thy God continually. He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: (Satan's knowledge of good and evil, in short our hearts) he loveth to oppress.

The creation of Heaven. Where the hosts of spirits dwell.

Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

The creation of Earth and the flesh

Genesis 8:21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour ; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. 

By their fruit you will know them.

Jeremiah 24:2-4 One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.

Two Gods, one of the Earth, the Lord God, though he calls himself all sorts of names, so know the fruit, not so much the name and the other, the Living God of Heaven (The Father). Ones fruit is concerned with the flesh, the others fruit is concerned with the spirit ONLY. Remember Satan, the balances of deceit, his ways are crooked, like the Lord himself in the Old Testament before he was forgiven and corrected. With the Father there is only good.

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil:(Balances of deceit) I the Lord do all these things.

The physical circumcision is memorial a for;

Colossians 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh (Soul) by the circumcision of Christ (Applying His Teachings).

Again, all events and deeds in the Old Testament are a shadow of GOOD things to come in the New Testament. One is of the flesh, and the other of the spirit. One of the Lord God, and one of the Father, the living God of heaven. The works of the Lord God were of the flesh, and as such, dead in the spirit, hence the Lord being a memorial.

Jeremiah 4:4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart (Soul), ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

Why do our hearts need to be circumcised, because we are cleaved to it and thus do its works. We are products of our own hearts, and are rewarded in kind because that where our treasure is, in the lusts of our hearts.

Mark 7:21-23 From within, out of the (Heart) of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murderers, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness; all these things come from within the (heart) of man and defile the man.”

Heart = Subconscious also. The Soul is our judge and it rewards our works, of both good and evil, and that includes the thoughts we think and every word we say. The downside is, is that it only wants us focused on its world, hence why we are captives, and since we don't know the spirit, we continuing doing the soul's works, eating its apple, sin.

Romans 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

It is our father the devil, and the lusts of our father we do.

Romans 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

So, now why do you think Jesus was called King of the Jews? Are you thinking of the earthly Jews, in the earthly Israel, or are you thinking of the spiritual Jews, of the spiritual Kingdom of Heaven, which the earthly Israel is a MEMORIAL for. The desire to be special and chosen will be the stumbling block for most.

Philippians 3:2-3 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

These things are for them of the Law also, because they're shadow of good things to come, but not in the very image of the spirit, because the teachings of the spirit has been hidden in the Law which can only be seen with the spirit, which is why Jesus said;

Matthew 5:17-19 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

They're no experts in the law, since the experts can only see things from the viewpoint of the natural man, which by default makes them of the synagogue of Satan, and think not that you''re not a member, because ALL are. After-all, we're ALL on the Earth, in our fallen state of the flesh, ruled by that counterfeit spirit, the soul, the 1st Adam, wearing the clothes of the old man.

Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

Meaning, all will gain understanding of the Father. Don't use these things to promote antisemitism, that attitude comes from an uncircumcised hearts unclean food.

2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Which is what Jesus taught his disciples to do AFTER he was resurrected into the spirit.

Luke 24:44-46 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. (He was the Lord God) Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

The truth is often mocked by those who serve this world, because those that do, have not the love of the Father within them, since they run after religion, and prefer to follow the tradition of men. These are those who are lost, blinded by their own hearts. That is their treasure and that is their reward.

Matthew 27:29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

Turns out that he was, but not of the flesh, that man can see, but of the spirit, which ONLY those of the Father can see, those who are chosen of God, and circumcised their hearts (That good thing to come in the image of the spirit). Talking of reeds. Some Revelation. Which can only be understood with the Father's help by the way, the Book of revelation isn't for everyone.

Revelation 11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

The temple of God is the mind, the spirit, and those that worship the Father worship within, IN spirit.

John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

We are all held hostage here by our own hearts, no one better than the next. The idea that people are chosen, elected, or superior to another group is a the cause of all problems on this Earth, especially in those who practise religion and spirituality. It is the soul within a man's doing. That heart that works iniquity in all people, blinding us from the reality that we are held in. Its design is to remain hidden, but there is nothing unseen which cannot be seen with the spirit.

Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Religion has no ones best interest at hand. The Bible doesn't belong to Christians or those who follow Judaism. It is an instruction manual for being GIFTED the righteousness of God.

2 Timothy 3:15-17 that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Yes, we must use the lesson in the New Testament, to bring out the treasure from the Old Testament. Alone, both books alone are worthless when it comes to your spiritual progression.

Leviticus 26:10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.

And another example of the above; which is a shadow of good things to come.

Matthew 13:52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

Follow no man's teachings, and do as Jesus instructed. Turn to the Father within. In the midst of the garden, that is your spirit, and bring forth treasure after eating from the tree of life (The knowledge of God, and his Kingdom).
