The Mystery of The Ma ‘Arav
Tuesday, May 31, 2022
Micah prophesied that, “one will go forth from you Bethlehem, whose origins are from old, from ancient times.” The Hebrew word for ancient times is kadem, which also means the east or the sunrise. Messiah’s origins are from the sunrise. He is the Light of the world. If He is from the sunrise, then His destination would be the place of the sunset or the west, which in Hebrew is the ma ‘arav, the sunset place, the going down. Messiah’s destination was the cross. Where was the crucifixion? It was to the west, the ma’arav of the city. When did He die on the cross? He died as the sun was setting, the ma’arav of the day. In fact, there was a temple sacrifice called the ma’arav, or the sunset sacrifice that was offered up at three o’clock in the afternoon. Messiah died at three o’clock. Thank God that Messiah is the ma’arav, the sunset sacrifice. This means that the sun has gone down on your sins, your old life, your past, even today’s sins. So be finished with your old life because Messiah, your ma’arav, has come.From Message #846 – The Mystery of the Kedem
Scripture: Ephesians 4:22-23

So we are not to grovel in our sinfulness but look toward our Savior who has paid the price and brought us out of bondage.

Yes indeed brother! We continue to confess our sins, to God and our fellow souls. But as you note, Clif, we don’t grovel in them. For that would be in
Satan, the accuser’s territory ala: “See , you are not good enough!, didn’t I tell you that!” Personally, I feel more covered by the indwelling Holy Spirit, a gift from God too, not on my merit. In a men’s work lunch time bible study years ago, we came to a group accord suddenly in one session: If you have an indwelling Holy Spirit, you go from: “Oh, I messed up again.”, to avoiding sin beforehand for the thought of grieving the Holy Spirit. The fear of the Lord comes over you when you even consider the possibility of grieving the Holy Spirit. A classic biblical illustration is Joseph running away from Potiphar’s wife’s advances. I just looked it up: Genesis 39:9: “… How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Always a work in process – never-ending sanctification up until our last breath.
