There is SO MUCH proof in the OT that saying things were not fulfilled, is like saying the titanic didnt sink. Let us reason together, and come to a logical conclusion. It is obvious that Yashua, (Jesus) was the embodiment of the OT. In the flesh. But what I am saying is that every law, every thing that was in the OT not only points to Yashua, but was about the messiah. Here is the proof. The first day of the first month, the glory filled the tabernacle after Moses finished building it. 2000 years later, on the same day, first day of the first month, Yashua was baptized, and he was filled with the spirit of the Almighty. Then, he went into the wilderness for 40 days, until he revealed himself. The day he started his ministry, was the 14th day of the second month. That was the same day the manna started in the OT. Then there is the thing about the Amalekites. That was to show that there was going to be "war with the fleshly man/carnal man", from generation to generation. Before this, the baptism, which is the death, burial, and resurrection. That is what baptism is, showing that we have died to the old man, and were buried with Yashua, and rose with him into his resurrection. A new man. The awesome thing that YAH did, was give us a timeline for EVERYTHING the messiah would do. From the time he was baptized, until the time Titus came to destroy the city, and burn the temple. Exodus 12 is the passover. Chapter 13, is the death, 14 is the burial, and 15 is the resurrection. 16 is Miriam, (Mary) praising the death of the rider and his horse. This same thing happened thousands of years later when Mary rejoiced. Remember this when you read revelation next time... Then you read all the way to Joshua when he takes over Jericho, and there you see Titus entering the picture exactly 40 years after the passover. The EXACT same thing happened in Egypt to Joshua entering Jericho. EVERYTHING, including the 1000 years was fulfilled...the proof of the 1000 years is right after Joshua died, and read what happens for the next thousand years with Israel in the OT. Then read history to see what happened in church history, for the first thousand years...It is AMAZING!

Hi Folks, I want some opinions on this. This issue has been going on over a month now. I realize this involves something that is a sin, but there's other issues. I still smoke tobacco, and that's the sin. I smoke cigars. I live in NY state where the sales tax is 8.75%. True cigar shops include all taxes in the price of the Cigar. But convenience stores do not. And most people know, that small privately owned stores never pay all the sales tax they collect. I know this for a fact because I once had a friend who is a CPA, and he told me this. Some convenience stores that sell good cigars have a sign in the window that says, but 5 get 1 free. The store I'm talking about is open 24 hours and I go there at night when the owner isn't there. The people who work in there are probably Mid Eastern. So I buy 4 cigars at $5.99 each, and 1 at $4.99 which equals $27.95. Add tax and I get $30.40. I am then allowed a free cigar so I take a $3.99 one as the free one. But when they ring it up, the total is $32.50. Sometimes it's $31.50. I tell the clerk this doesn't make sense, and they say I still have to pay tax on the free one. So sales tax on $3.99 = 35 cents. So the grand total should be $30.75. But it never is. I go in there once a week and but the cigars which last all week. But I'm getting sick of this. I say they are not just being dishonest, and in Proverbs we read the Lord hates dishonest scales. But they are breaking the NY State tax laws. I kind of want to try and call the owner and tell him. Although that may do no good. Or I suppose I could rat him out to the government. If I did 1 of those things is that taking revenge? Or do I just keep trying to forgive them because where they come from, dishonesty is probably the name of the game. I doubt I will do anything, but what do you all think?
