How to Avoid Being Dragged Off Like a Slave

“Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, don’t you listen to the law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant, and one by the free woman. However, the son by the servant was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise. These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar. For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children. But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.” (Galatians‬ ‭4:21-26‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Hi dear patron,

Hagar was Sarah’s maidservant. The name “Hagar” has three probable meanings based on its etymology: 1) To flee, 2) To be dragged off, 3) To be forced into service.

None of the three meanings have positive connotations.

The Apostle Paul revealed in his epistle to the Galatians that Hagar is a picture of the Law of Moses, whereas Sarah represents Grace.

When God gave Abraham and Sarah the promise of a son, they tried to ‘help’ God to fulfill that promise according to their own understanding.

Sarah was barren, so she gave Hagar to Abraham for her (Sarah) to obtain a son through Hagar.

This decision which was born of the flesh led to lots of domestic strife between Sarah and Hagar, as well as eventually between Israel and Ishmael.

Whenever you introduce the Law of Moses into your mind and in your actions, you’re subjecting yourself to the three meanings of the name “Hagar”.

Fleeing implies fear. Instead of faith, you’ll be living under fear.

When you try to live by the Law, you’re being dragged off from being established in righteousness by faith.

Lastly, you are forced into service like a slave, because the curse of the Law is upon whoever tries to put themselves under the Law. You have effectively taken the position of a slave instead of a son.

Can you see why the devil wants to deceive people into legalism and religiosity?
If he can trick you into trying performance-based justification, you’ll be fearful, unprofitable and living as one who is accursed.

The Law of Moses is holy, righteous and true, but man is unable to become righteous through it.

If man tries to keep the Law and fails, the Law confers its curse without any mercy. Can you see how the devil has wielded the Law to become his ultimate cloaked weapon?

Man thinks he’s doing the right thing by trying to keep the Law, but actually he is just subjecting himself to death and the curse!

If Hagar never came into the picture, and Abraham just waited for God to fulfill His promise at the right time by His power, there would be no suffering.

God wants us to rest in His promises, have faith in Him and just wait for Him to cause the breakthrough to happen at His appointed time.

Don’t let yourself be dragged off from the Gospel which is righteousness by faith in Christ Jesus. Stand firm in the gift of righteousness and rely on God’s abundant grace which is constantly being supplied to you!

Just like Abraham and Sarah, we need to learn how to flow with God’s system of times and seasons by which He does everything under Heaven. This will break the cycle of disappointment and acting by the flesh. Understand this important revelation from “God’s Appointed Time: Being Fruitful in Every Season of Life”:

Citizens of the Jerusalem Above!

Passage of the Day:
“His foundation is in the holy mountains. Yahweh loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. Selah. I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: “This one was born there.” Yes, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one was born in her”; the Most High himself will establish her. Yahweh will count, when he writes up the peoples, “This one was born there.” Selah.” (Psalms‬ ‭87:1-6‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

In the psalm above, even the Gentiles (non-Jews) are registered as being born in Jerusalem. It’s talking about the second birth—being born again through the Holy Spirit.

When we were reborn in Him, we became a new creation, registered by God as citizens of the eternal nation of Israel. We were wild olives that God engrafted into the rich olive tree (Romans 11:17).

This is the Israel born of the Spirit and not born of the flesh. God’s holy nation of royal priests which we have become.

What many don’t realize is that the Mount Zion and Jerusalem on earth is patterned after the true Zion and Jerusalem that is in Heaven.

“For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children. But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.” (Galatians‬ ‭4:25-26‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

There is a natural city of Jerusalem here on earth now, and there is an eternal city of Jerusalem in Heaven above. The Jerusalem above is the same one that will descend out of Heaven and land on the new earth in the future.

“I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more. I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.” (Revelation‬ ‭21:1-2‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

As Jesus said, God’s will is for His Kingdom to come, and for earth to be as it is in Heaven (Matthew 6:10)—a mirror image of perfect peace and glory.

When God chose the site for the first temple to be built, He positioned it to reflect the heavenly reality. It’s a beautiful truth and when you study the Scriptures, you’ll understand that the layout of Heaven is the same as the layout of the Jerusalem on earth.

In my book “A Tour of Heaven and Eternity”, I explain the layout of Heaven and how God has already revealed to us its geographical aspects through His word.

Heaven doesn’t have to remain a mystery to you. Those who take time to read the whole Bible and piece together the layout of Heaven and Jerusalem will understand that the earthly city reflects the heavenly one.

Also, you’ll understand the difference between Paradise, God’s sanctuary on the mountain of God, and the city of New Jerusalem. Check it out: https://www.miltongoh.net/store/p15/a-tour-of-heaven-and-eternity-milton-goh.html

Rage 2 (stylized as RⒶGE 2) is first-person shooter video game developed by Avalanche Studios in conjunction with id Software and published by Bethesda Softworks. The game is the sequel to the 2011 game Rage. The game is set to be released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on May 14, 2019. It received mixed reviews from critics who praised shooting mechanics, but criticized the cliched plot and generic gameplay.

Rage 2 is a first-person shooter. Players assume control of a ranger named Walker, who is free to explore the game's apocalyptic fiction open world. Players are given control over some of Walker's attributes, such as their gender, skills, or attire. Walker is able to wield various firearms and tools to fight against enemies, including returning weapons such as the wingstick. Players can develop Walker's skills with Nanotrite-based powers. Through a mode called Overdrive, Walker's guns do more damage, enemies drop more energy and they get healed constantly — providing players with an aggressive way to mow down enemies. Nanotrites from the first game, which act as special powers and ability boosts, can also be used to increase combat efficiency. The game also features vehicular combat, including trucks, buggies and gyrocopters, with the player being able to drive any vehicle in the game's world.
