Understanding the Sabbath
Today’s Focus: The Concept of the Life of a Eunuch
Scripture: Isaiah 56:4-6
Greetings Kingdom Citizens
Let’s get right into it to see what this life is all about as it pertains to the sons of God worshipping the Lord at the gate in the Sabbath.
Isaiah 56:4: For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs that keep my Sabbaths and choose THE THINGS THAT PLEASE ME, AND TAKE HOLD OF THY COVENANT.
Ok, let’s start there. What is a eunuch? A eunuch is a castrated individual who served as a slave, valet, minister and in the sense of royalty, the eunuch cared for the royal woman. The eunuch operated without ambition or desire for themselves. They lived to solely serve. What is unique about the eunuch is because they were castrated they could never build a genealogy. They were spiritual celebrants. Now the role I want to focus on is caring for the royal woman. For any eunuch to get that privilege he had to have a very intimate and trustworthy relationship with the King. But this caring for the royal woman was not just in the natural sense, but the eunuchs who are the sons of God, because of their intimate relationship with the Lord, He has entrusted them to care for the royal woman. Who is the royal woman? The Church of Jesus Christ. Now let me clear up this picture.
In that time, the eunuch was a person who was not married but solely served the King. The sons of God who have come to this castrated lifestyle and are solely married to the Lord. Now is this saying that the sons of God cannot be eunuchs if they are married? No of course not. A great example was Potiphar who was a eunuch and captain of Pharaoh’s guard. He was married and remember it was Potiphar’s wife that tried to seduce Joseph but Joseph chose the Will of God over fleshly and lustful desires.
God desires eunuchs who will not touch, rape and plunder the royal woman and who are the people plundering the royal woman today? It is His very sons and daughters. So God desires sons who will serve Him unconditionally and care for His people.
Let me show you the rest of this because in the next message we will look at the characteristics of eunuchs.
Isaiah 56:5,6: Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant.
There is a higher position than son and daughter in God according to Isaiah 56:5 and a everlasting name that will never be cut off. What that name is, I do not know but all I do know is I want that and desire that and I pray that you desire that too. However, it comes with someone living the life of a eunuch and spiritually castrating oneself from the desires of the flesh. This reward is available to everyone who chooses Christ and submits all of who they are to Him and the Father’s Will.
Peace, Love and Grace from the Father,
