Order

Among the many teachings of Christianity there is a study that is entirely or often forgotten.

The teaching of Order.

This does not just affect the actuality of things in church, but we actually usually forget that by the time Jesus Christ came; even Judaism had been broken not in to two independent institutions under two separate High Priests; but also Judaism was no longer called about its Jewry root but the many denominations under the two High Priests being words like Libertines, Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, Sadducees and Pharisees. One has to look carefully how many denominations of Judaism did got confounded by Stephen to have a simple and open example or to exemplify the situation in a good manner; the usual suspects being the Pharisees and Sadducees were not even mentioned in the act.

Acts 6:9 KJV Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.

Luke 3:1-2 KJV Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

The title tetrarch teaches us the order of kings was not even highlighted; as Herod who should in the stead of king is reduced to this title too. The Order Of Rule or the Order Of Kings was not just shambled but utterly replaced. The above words are often overlooked. Yet if one would take time to speculate; one would ask self:

How did the breast plates look then? For there were ten standing against two tribes of Israel.

How did they do the sacraments and the pilgrimages? Since they had to appear before God three times a year bearing the synagogue maintenance; or not empty handed.

Deuteronomy 16:16-17 KJV Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty: Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.
