Revelations About The Fir And Myrtle Trees; Learn Why Sinners Are Purged And Cleansed With Hyssop Dipped In The Blood Of The Lamb Jesus

     Notice the pictures above of a fir tree and a myrtle tree. Did you know that the prophet Isaiah spoke about the fir tree and the myrtle tree at Isaiah 55:13 that says Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off. To understand Isaiah 55:13 one must look at the Hebrew definitions of the words fir, myrtle, and brier. I encourage all my friends everywhere to use the website blueletterbible and when you look up words in the bible for searches check the Strongs box above every search to see numbers by every word of the bible. Just left click the number and you will see the Hebrew and Greek definitions for every word of the bible to reveal the mysteries of the Word of God.

     After Brother Bob studied the Hebrew definitions for Isaiah 55:13, let's look at the Hebrew meaning of this anointed bible verse. In Hebrew, Isaiah 55:13 says Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree (a noble tall cypress tree that has stateliness and is noted for fruit bearing), and instead of the brier (doubtful) shall come up the myrtle tree (springing forth and growing rapidly with life): and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

     Notice the fir tree above and remember with Jesus in our lives we will bear fruit and obtain stately nobility as kings and priests like a fir tree and thorns will disappear. Jesus said at John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. Revelation 1:5 says And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood. And hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

     Next look at the myrtle tree above and praise Jesus that with Jesus in our lives we will receive life where rivers of living water will flow and spring forth from us like a myrtle tree where doubtful briers will disappear forever. 1 John 5:11 says And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. John 7:37 says In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. Jesus said at John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

     Notice the two pictures above and learn that when Jesus came into the world there was great peace and when Jesus left out of the world, Jesus left everyone with a great legacy of peace. The Lord Jesus gives christians peace that passeth all understanding yesterday, and to day, and for ever. When Jesus came into the world and was seen by the shepherds in the first picture above there was a great peace. 

     Luke 2:8 says And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

     Next look at the second picture above and thank the Lord Jesus for leaving everyone a legacy of peace after He left this world when you read the words of Jesus at John 14:27. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 2 Thessalonians 3:16 says Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all. Psalm 119:165 says Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. If you love the KJV Word of God who is Jesus, you will have great peace and nothing shall offend you.

     King David reaffirmed that the Lord Jesus gives everlasting peace at Psalm 76:2. In Salem (peace) also is His tabernacle, and His dwelling place in Zion (a sunny place). Philippians 4:7 says And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. The Lord Jesus said at John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

     Notice the picture above and remember to be blessed with Jesus we must daily deny our flesh, living sanctified holy lives. 1 Peter 1:15 says But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. Hebrews 12:14 says Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. Jesus said at Luke 9:23 If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

     Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. The blood of Jesus will cleanse you from all sin and make you holy and acceptable to God. 1 John 1:7 says But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

     Remember that it is God's will for us to live sanctified holy lives because 1 Thessalonians 4:3 says For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication. And remember the blessing that King David said that you will receive for living a holy life for Jesus at Psalm 73:1 that says Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

     Daily read, meditate, and memorize the KJV Word of God to live holy and receive peace to overcome this troubled world. Take time to study the following three scriptures that prove that the KJV Word of God will create total purity in our lives that is pleasing to God. John 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Psalm 119:140 says Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

     Notice the picture above of a man using a hyssop plant dipped in the blood of the Lamb Jesus to purge and cleanse his house of sin so that death and plagues must pass over and not harm his house. Psalm 51:7 says Purge (cleanse) me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. The hyssop plant was used to purge and cleanse sinners because the blood of the Lamb Jesus on the hyssop plant cleanses us from all sin and makes us whiter than snow. 1 John 1:7 says But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. Isaiah 1:18 says Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

     The story about the man in the picture above using hyssop to place the blood of the Lamb Jesus on his door is recorded at Exodus 12:21. Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover. And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel (the upper part of a doorway) and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. The blood of the Lamb on the two side posts represents the two thieves crucified by our Lord Jesus Christ. The blood of the Lamb on the upper lintel of the doorway represents the Lord Jesus Christ crucified above the two thieves to bear the sins of all mankind.

     Applying the blood of the Lamb Jesus with a hyssop plant (used for medicinal purposes) to the top lintel and the two side posts created a specific motion. If you visualize a person reaching up to the top lintel and then to both sides, the movement mirrors the shape of the cross of Calvary or a protective covering over the entrance and the home. Exodus 12:13 says And the blood shall be to you for a token (sign) upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
