His NAME is Jesus

acts 2:38 was first preached. Here, the first covenant had been delivered, just as the second
covenant was delivered at the outpouring of the Holy Ghost at Pentecost. Following the delivery of
that first covenant, my Lord says:"An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice
thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where
I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee."

I understand where you would use types, shadows, and figures of things that
would come afterward. I am using just the actual wording of my Lord, Jesus.
"Except a man be born again (begotten from above),
he cannot SEE the
kingdom of God."
I came to the bank of the Jordan (so to speak), and the Spirit of the Lord had
me make a choice: it was between godly sorrow (as Peter experienced), or just
remorse (that Judas Iscariot felt).
