“And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. [*Revelation 11: 11 (KJV)]”
The injunction of The Law is to “hear and obey” or, “hear and do”; whereas, The Pure Gospel of The Lamb & His Finished Work invites us all t0 “come and see,” and then, “behold and rest,” within the depths of our spirits… where Christ Himself dwells. Until we recognize, realize The Death we have all died together, with one another, in The Lamb and on His Cross; we truly cannot see all that Moses & Elijah are communicating, all for Whom they are standing; because The Veil remains upon our “heart,” or mind. That Veil is our own raging, wounded and fragile, yet sinister ego… the true satan! In the Greek, “I” is translated “ego”. Apostle Paul writes: “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. [*Galatians 2: 20, 21 (KJV)]” The Gospel does not stroke the ego of men; but rather, signifies the death, destruction of ego, as Jesus Christ Himself fulfilled in the weakness and humiliation of His death, all that we can never come close to fulfilling in all of the strength of our own self-effort, no, not even "on our best day”: all of the performance requirements and obedience standards, written “in the Word”!
