There is a Highway of Holiness where the redeemed shall walk: Neither unclean ones nor ferocious animals go thereon, but His people will not stray therein. Three different ways, the way of the sinner, the way of the wicked and the way of the righteous. The gate way leading to life is cramped and narrow. If the way you walk is easy and spacious, take care.
There are many ways that seem right but are the ways of death. Jesus is the door, we enter when the Lord calls us. Many try to enter by climbing up their own way, them He is not leading. We must be careful to only study and teach the doctrines of Christ and not be misled by the vain precepts of men.
Walk the highway of the upright, get wisdom and understanding, depart from evil. Those Cherubim are keeping the way to the tree of life open for us. The way that takes us through that fiery sword, the Word of God. We all need to walk the way of God more carefully. Waymarks and guide-posts lead us back to the highway where we have set our heart.
Isa 35:4-10 CLV
(4) Say to those with hastening hearts, Be steadfast, do not fear; Behold, your Elohim, with vengeance He shall come! With the requital of Elohim! He Himself shall come and save you!
(5) Then the eyes of the blind shall be unclosed, And the ears of the deaf, they shall be opened;
(6) Then the lame one shall leap like a deer, And the tongue of the mute person shall be jubilant. For waters will break forth in the wilderness, And watercourses shall flow in the Arabah;
(7) The parched sink will become a pond, And the thirsty ground founts of water, In the homestead of wild jackals, a morass, A court for reed and papyrus.
(8) A highway, a clean one, will be there, And it shall be called the holy way; The unclean one shall not pass over it, since it is for His people, in walking the way, Yet fools, they shall not stray therein.
(9) No lion shall bcome there, Nor shall any ferocious animal ascend it; It shall not be found there. Yet the redeemed| will walk 7in it0,
(10) And the ransomed| of Yahweh, they shall return; They will enter Zion iwith jubilant song And with eonian rejoicing on their heads; Elation and rejoicing shall overtake them, And affliction and sighing will flee.
Psa 1:1-6 CLV
(1) Happy is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, And in the way of sinners does not stand, And in the seat of mockers| does not sit.
(2) But rather in the law of Yahweh is his delight, And from His law is he soliloquizing by day and night.
(3) So he comes to be like a tree transplanted by rillets of water, That yields its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not decay; Hence all wthat he does shall prosper.
(4) Not so the wicked, But rather they are like the trash wthat the wind whisks away.
(5) Therefore, the wicked shall not rise up in judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
(6) For Yahweh is knowing the way of the righteous, Yet the way of the wicked, it shall perish.
Three different ways, the way of the sinner, the way of the wicked and the way of the righteous.
Mat 7:12-14 CLV
(12) All then whatever you should be wanting that men should be doing to you, thus you, also, be doing to them, for this is the law and the prophets.
(13) “Enter through the cramped gate, for broad is the gate and spacious is the way which is leading away into destruction, and many are those entering through it.
(14) Yet what a cramped gate and narrowed way is the one leading away into life, and few are those who are finding it.
Pro 14:12 CLV There is a way that seems upright before a man, Yet its end becomes the ways of death.
There are many ways that seem right to us, but are the ways of death.
Joh 10:1-3 CLV
(1) Verily, verily, I am saying to you, he who is not entering through the door into the fold of the sheep, but is climbing up elsewhere, that one is a thief and a robber.
(2) Now he who is entering through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
(3) To him the doorkeeper is opening, and the sheep are hearing his voice, and he is summoning his own sheep by name and is leading them out.
Mat 15:7-9 RV
(7) Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
(8) This people honoureth me with their lips; But their heart is far from me.
(9) But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.
1Jn 1:6-10 RV
(6) If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
(7) but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
(8) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
(9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
(10) If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Pro 16:16-17 RV
(16) How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.
(17) The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
Walk the highway of the upright, get wisdom and understanding, depart from evil.
Gen 3:24 RV
(24) So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Act 22:3-4 RV
(3) I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as ye all are this day:
(4) and I persecuted this Way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
Christianity was first called The Way.
Act 18:24-26 RV
(24) Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, a learned man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the scriptures.
(25) This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught carefully the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John:
(26) and he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more carefully.
We all need to walk the way of God more carefully.
Jer 31:21 RV
(21) Set thee up waymarks, make thee guide-posts: set thine heart toward the highway, even the way by which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.
Waymarks and guide-posts lead us back to the highway where we have set our heart.
