Thread of Life!

 Isaiah 53:7
All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He did not open His mouth; Like a lamb that is led to slaughter, And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, So He did not open His mouth. By oppression and judgment He was taken away; And as for His generation, who considered That He was cut off out of the land of the living For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?…

Hold to the thread of life - to the scarlet rope of his breath and goodness!

Gather together in one accord - the scarlet thread woven in love! 

The elements woven together is the remnant, the coat of many colors, the full body of Christ Jesus, the eyes, the ears, the hands, the legs, the heart of love, the seed of the newborn, the growth of a child.  This is the gathering and in-gathering of the nations, the tribes, the body of Christ and our personal temple for Him (His land). 

This is not the first time I have reviewed the definitions of the Spirit of love...this is just a gentle reminder to my heart and soul!  The English definition of each word, brings a deeper understanding as to the breaking of chains and strong-holds of sin as we practice these characteristics in our fleshly bodies.  How it holds our souls together like a glue, a sweet stickiness that holds the heart firm within the scarlet thread. Each characteristic making the foundation firm!  As we worship the spirit of love, the earthly theology and man's traditions become a blur and God's persona becomes real and alive as we worship in spirit and in truth.

This is why we are here, this is our purpose, this is the good news, this is the Lord of Lord, King of Kings.  This is the Holy One - This is the Lamb of God! 

What brings it all together?  Could it be the golden bowl of incense, the prayers of the saints?  What is the thread that holds the assembling together, collecting the living and the dead.  The thread is woven with the characteristics of love.  Joy, is the first piece of wool from the lamb's coat - the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying; keen pleasure; elation: She felt the joy of seeing her son's success.  She felt the joy as her Redeemer lives!  

The Meaning of Peace.is the second piece of wool from the lamb's coat -  In English, the word "peace" conjures up a passive picture, one showing an absence of civil disturbance or hostilities, or a personality free from internal and external strife. The biblical concept of peace is larger than that and rests heavily on the Hebrew root slm, which means "to be complete" or "to be sound." The verb conveys both a dynamic and a static meaning"to be complete or whole" or "to live well." The noun had many nuances, but can be grouped into four categories: (1) salom [l'v] as wholeness of life or body (i.e., health); (2) salom [l'v] as right relationship or harmony between two parties or people, often established by a covenant (see "covenant of peace" in Num 25:12-13 ; Isa 54:10 ; Ezek 34:25-26 ) and, when related to Yahweh, the covenant was renewed or maintained with a "peace offering"; (3) salom [l'v] as prosperity, success, or fulfillment (see Lev 26:3-9 ); and (4) salom [l'v] as victory over one's enemies or absence of war. Salom [l'v] was used in both greetings and farewells. It was meant to act as a blessing on the one to whom it was spoken: "May your life be filled with health, prosperity, and victory." As an adjective, it expressed completeness and safety. In the New Testament, the Greek word eirene [eijrhvnh] is the word most often translated by the word "peace." Although there is some overlap in their meanings, the Hebrew word salom [l'v] is broader in its usage, and, in fact, has greatly influenced the New Testament's use of eirene [eijrhvnh].

   The Lamb is Worthy
   …7And He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the One seated on the throne. 8When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they held the golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9And they sang a new song: “Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals, because You were slain, and by Your blood You purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.… Oh God you are so beautiful!!!!!
