You cannot read the Bible and ignore the political realm. The Bible is thick with politics. We have four books, 1 and 2 Kings, 1 and 2 Chronicles, that deal with the rule and reign of government leaders. Scripture is packed with political concerns, including laws, statutes, ordinances, kingdoms, empires, courts, judges, kings, queens, taxes, and so much more. God is active on virtually every page, engaging in the political affairs of humanity for both blessing and judgment. You might say that the Bible is a political textbook, since God is seen setting up nations and writing constitutions and bylaws. He both establishes governments and dismantles them. He places people in strategic political roles and removes others from the political purchase. Given this reality, it is unfortunate that God and politics are far too often disconnected from each other, as though connecting them too closely is anathema or forbidden. The failure to properly connect God's relationship to politics based on his word has left individuals, political leaders, and nations void of the knowledge needed to govern society as the creator intended it to be.

Heavenly Calling - Not an earthly calling. Israel as a nation had an earthly calling but ended in failure. This earthly calling had earthly land possessions, earthly blessing, promises, material temple, city and sacrifices, worship and religion. It was a call that came from heaven, but a vocation or destiny on earth. But the Church has a call that comes from heaven to earth, to take a heavenly people from the earth to heaven.
All that pertains to the Church is of heavenly origin and vocation. It is not of earth nor on earth. The ultimate purpose is to lead us to heavenly things. The Church is a redeemed people, redeemed out of the earth, to fulfill God's purpose in earth, then to be taken ultimately to a new heavens and a new earth (Rev.21:1-2). All is "heavenly."

We Are Holy Brethren In Christ (Hebrews 3 Explained)
Wherefore holy brethren - In the face of these facts:
We are to consider - Jesus Christ who is God (Heb.1) and Man (Heb.2), one with God, and one with man.
Brethren - In Christ only. Natural relationships no longer are counted as superior; severed when in Christ. Spiritual brethren.

Being around those who prophesy can pull you into the prophetic flow. This is what happened to Saul. The Prophet Samuel said to Saul, “. . . you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with a harp, a tambourine, a flute, and a lyre before them. And they will prophesy. And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them. And you will be turned into another man” (1 Sam. 10:5–6).
There are certain places and atmospheres that cause prophets to grow and flourish. I listed these here as a reminder so that you can see what places are geared toward prophetic activation, training, equipping, impartation, and confirmation. This list will also give you ideas on where you can go to grow in your gift, what groups you may be able to join or start, if you are part of a church that does not flow prophetically.

A study of the context of this Epistle to the Galatian Church clearly shows that the leaven of Galatia was legalism, a mixture of Law and Grace. Having Christ in one hand and Moses in the other hand. It was a confusion of the Old Covenant and the New Covenant revelation. It was a mixture of flesh and spirit, bondage and liberty. works of the Law and faith in Christ. The Galatians having received Christ by faith now sought to go back to the beggarly elements of the Law, hoping to be perfected by legalistic works.

Over the ten Curtains of fine linen were placed eleven Curtains of Goat’s Hair. These Curtains are referred to many times in scripture as the “tent” as well as the Covering.
Exodus 35:11 The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,
Exodus 36:14 And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.
Exodus 40:19 And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Numbers 3:25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,It is the second covering over the Framework of the Tabernacle.

There were various curtains and coverings involved in the Tabernacle. These Curtains and Coverings were hung or draped over the Framework. Some diagrams suggest that the final Coverings were placed in a tent position over tent poles. As to the specific arrangement of these Coverings we are not told. God has, however, given the order in which these Coverings were to be placed over the Framework and the materials from which they were to me made.

In addition to kings or tetrarchs being placed over Palestine, there were governors or procurators who served regionally. For the purpose of our study we will only look at procurators in relation to Judea who are specifically mentioned in the New Testament.
Palestine was under Roman rule and Roman appointed leaders. The Romans placed kings or tetrarchs over the Jews. Antipater was given the initial position of tetrarch of Palestine about 47 B.C. and served in that position for about 10 years.

In this video, we'll dive into the biblical concept of the "leaven of Herod and the Pharisees." Discover what it is, why it's important to beware of it, and how it can apply to our lives today. Jesus warned against the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and understanding this concept can help us avoid their harmful ways of thinking. Join us as we explore the meaning and implications of this metaphor in our spiritual journey. Mark 8:15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. A study of the references to Herod show that he was a very sinful and worldly man. He feared the Word of God in John's mouth but was not prepared to repent. He was sly as a fox, sensual, proud and murderous. He was controlled by the spirit of the world. Jesus warned the disciples to beware of the leaven of Herod, the spirit of worldliness. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp_bPGNUUz8oz0b98YSt2ew/join
Are you aware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees? Don't let their teachings and hypocrisy influence your faith. In this video, we'll discuss what this "leaven" is and how to avoid it for a stronger and more genuine relationship with God. Perfect for Bible studies or personal reflection. Jesus also warned the disciples to beware of the leaven of the Sadducees. There was no mistaking what the leaven of the Sadducees was. It was their doctrine. The Sadducees did not believe in the supernatural, in spirit, in angels, or in the bodily resurrection https://www.youtube.com/cyrilpeterson/
The East, from the fourth century, has held that the person of the Father is the center of divine unity. The main danger of this is a subordinationist tendency. If the Father is the guarantor of unity in the Godhead, it is only a short step to the Son and the Holy Spirit having a derivative status. On the other hand, the West since Augustine has begun with the divine essence. It has had difficulty accounting for the real eternal distinctions between the persons. With the essence prior to the persons, a less than fully personal view of God has resulted. The bias here is in a modalist direction. Seeing this, some in the West, like Moltmann, have argued that the Trinity is a community of three equal persons. However, since they lack a full doctrine of the immanent Trinity and correlate the Trinity with human history and experience, their conclusions veer toward tritheism and pantheism, often being explicitly Panentheistic. On the other hand, T. F Torrance, going back behind the Cappadocians and Augustine and following clues from Athanasius and Gregory Nazianzen, argues that the monarchy is to be seen as the whole Trinity, understood in a homoousial and perichoretic manner. However, he does not give equivalent emphasis to the distinctiveness of the three persons. Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/cyrilpeterson
The three persons are homoousios. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are identical in being. Each person is the whole God. The three together are not more God than any one by himself. Since all three are one identical being, no one person is of higher or lesser status than any other. There are no gradations of deity. Thus, all three together are worshipped, as the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed holds.

The Father is made of none, neither created not begotten. The Son is of the Father alone, not made, nor created, but begotten.
The Holy Ghost is of the Father and the Son, neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding.
So there is one Father, not three Fathers, and there is one Son, not three Sons, and there is one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts.
And in this trinity, none is afore or after the other, none is first and last, none is greater or less than another, but the whole three Persons are co-eternal together, and co-equal, so that in all things, as aforesaid:
"The UNITY IN TRINITY, and the TRINITY IN UNITY is to be worshipped,"

The Athanasian Creed, formulated in the 5th century to combat the heresies concerning the Godhead, and to preserve from the two extremes of Unitarianism and Tritheism, undoubtedly is one of the greatest creeds of Early Church history.
The true Christian faith is this, that we worship one God in trinity and trinity in unity, neither confounding the Persons nor dividing the substance. For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, another of the Holy Ghost.
