The Coat
Part 10
I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them? (Song of Songs 5:3)
INTRODUCTION
This is the last mention of the word COAT in the Old Testament. I can hear you think, Why should I care about the last mention of the word COAT? This series titled THE COAT is about the word COAT in Scripture AND hopefully this series will open the reader to the magnificence of Scripture and to the divine WORDSMITH and Author of Scripture, the Holy Spirit of God.
The Christian often reads Scripture as a chore to be accomplished, or as an exercise in Bible knowledge. The non-Christian would rather die than to be caught reading what they consider is a book of myths and meaningless nonsense, and yet these same non-Christians will spend hours on myths and meaningless nonsense of sci-fi and fantasy fairy tales about wizardry and nonexistent worlds built around human hopes and fears outside the realm of truth. Mankind is not prone to follow truth. Truth is a fearsome reality rather to be avoided than pursued. One thing that many so-called Christians have in common with non-Christians is their total lack of the knowledge of TRUTH through the KNOWLEDGE of the Holy.
One of the main reasons that the Church has lost its power and strength is that it has LOST the desire for KNOWLEDGE of the Holy. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. (2nd Timothy 3:5) The reason that the Church lost the desire for KNOWLEDGE of the Holy is because the Church cast out the Holy Spirit of God centuries ago and millenniums past when they chose to be ruled by men of renown called priests. The Nicolaitans, conquerors of the people, NEVER had the Spirit of God within.

KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY
Knowledge of the Holy is neither acquired through mere information nor by facts. Spiritual knowledge comes from ONE source and that is from the Holy Spirit of God who is the Author of the written word of God. First and foremost, to acquire knowledge of the Holy one MUST BE BORN AGAIN. Anything else that you pin your salvation and knowledge of the Holy on is useless, even religion is a meaningless exercise for the seeker of the knowledge of the Holy.
● The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. (Proverbs 9:10)
● And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. (Job 28:28)
The GREAT FALLACY regarding Christianity is that Christianity is about the Christian. IT IS NOT. Christianity is about CHRIST. Remove CHRIST from Christianity and you have RELIGION.
The Christian’s primary and single purpose is NOT service; it is TO GLORIFY the Lord of glory in the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ. How can Christ be GLORIFIED when HE becomes secondary to the Christian? Service has been overrated, and ministry has become the prize greatly esteemed. 1st Timothy 4:13 sets the proper means to aid the child of God, the sons of God, in fruitfully building their FAITH to GLORIFY the Lord Jesus Christ. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
The apostle Paul in his epistle to Timothy DID NOT SAY GIVE ATTENDANCE TO ATTENDANCE. but the leading activity is READING, then next is EXHORTATION (preaching and/or teaching) then the final directive is to pay attention to DOCTRINE. READING the word of God is a personal activity. READING with understanding is a deeply personal action that not only involves the Spirit of God, but reading is directed by the Holy Spirit of God.
The reason why the Holy Spirit of God led Paul to lead with READING first, then next with EXHORTATION, and lastly DOCTRINE was based on the understanding of TRUTH through the word of truth. The experience of actually personally reading the word of God through the guidance of the Holy Spirit cannot be anything else except being lead and taught by the POWER of God through the Holy Spirit of God. Reading for oneself alone is a solitary act of freely depending on God alone to teach without the voice of another or the teaching or preaching of another. The Holy Spirit will ALWAYS LEAD IN TRUTH. He will faithfully lead from precept to precept from line to line, from word to word. The Holy Spirit of God IS the Comforter, He IS the Spirit of truth, He will guide the reader into ALL truth.
● But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: (John 15:26)
● Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. (John 16:13)
As the seeker of truth reads, the Spirit of God implants truth, teaches truth, solidifies truth which brings confidence and assurance to the seeker of truth. Having your loins girded and strengthened with truth, then and only then is the reader able to go on to listen to EXHORTATIONS.
● Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; (Ephesians 6:14)
● Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; (1st Peter 1:13)
Having the loins of your mind and heart strengthened with truth, then the seeker of truth, the reader, is able to discern truth within the words that he hears through preaching and teaching. BUT first, ALL must begin with READING. Then and only then can the child of God be able to discern truth and righteousness. After READING and EXHORTATION, the next learning stage where truth and discernment are essential is DOCTRINE. The infant newborn needs to be encouraged to READ. Through READING this crawling babe will begin to walk. Through READING this stumbling unsure young one will gain confidence in the truths and principals that are in the word of God. READING will encourage this young reader to memorize what is being read. READING will build within a richness of spiritual connections through the Law of First Mention, through phrases, word placement, numbers, patterns, a linear timeline, and progressive revelations. Learning becomes stronger through READING words then hearing words because words that are read are seared into the mind. Paul KNEW the perfect process for the young Christian was Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
The Church attendee, however, prefers listening to a little TRUTH without too much personal involvement, and too many preachers prefer listeners who are unable to discern the difference between the preacher TELLING the people that they are hearing the word of God without actually GIVING them the word of God. (They are smooth operators.)
Side Note: From a personal experience, I once listened to a well-known preacher inform the audience that he preached the gospel, and for fifteen minutes (I timed it) he spoke of how he preached the gospel without once actually preaching the gospel. I remember my thoughts after the fifteen-minute sermonette, ‘he would make a great used car salesman.’ My apologies to used car salesmen. What a smooth operator. ◆ End of Side Note.
● The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love [to have it] so: and what will ye do in the end thereof? (Jeremiah 5:31)
● Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: (Isaiah 30:10)

The POWER of CHRISTIANITY
Christianity is really not what many have been led to believe it is. You cannot wear it as a clean white collar or a golden cross around your neck, nor can it be hung in a closet and taken out on certain days and on special occasions. It is NOT fun and games and play time and having all your physical wants and desires satisfied. Christianity is about LIFE and DEATH. It is about SOULS LOST and SOULS RESTORED. It is about REJECTION and ABUSE from false brethren and from haters of God. It is a journey of trials and temptations. It is a path avoided by many and it is a passage unlike all other passages in the universe. It is the passage of the restored soul from earthly life to heavenly life. It is the GREATEST bold plan from the determinate counsels of God for the restored soul of man that will GLORIFY the LOVE of God and the Lamb of God eternally and forever.
● If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? (John 3:12)
● In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. (John 14:2)
● And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. (1st Corinthians 15:49)
● For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. (1st Corinthians 15:53)
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. (1st Corinthians 15:54)
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? (1st Corinthians 15:55)
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. (1st Corinthians 15:56)
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1st Corinthians 15:57)
● And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. (Revelation 21:1)
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (Revelation 21:2)
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. (Revelation 21:3)
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. (Revelation 21:4)
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. (Revelation 21:5)
Christianity is a bit frightening for many, and it should be because deep down the non-Christian, ‘the pew sitter,’ the ‘pretend Christian,’ the ‘fence gymnast,’ knows that Christianity means giving ALL of SELF or giving NOTHING of self. Once a person is born into the family of Christ it is ALL of YOU because it is ALL of CHRIST. When GOD TAKES CONTROL OF THE HEART, SOUL AND SPIRIT the newborn one craves GOD’S TOTAL CONTROL OVER ALL WITHIN and WITHOUT.
There is nothing the Christian desires more than to be totally under the SOVEREIGN love and direction of Almighty God. Coming to the understanding that GOD IN JESUS CHRIST GAVE ALL for them, then Christianity ceases to be GIVING ALL because the Christian has nothing to give. It is not the Christian who gives. It is God who GIVES. He GAVE HIMSELF to save you from yourself. He GAVE HIMSELF to set you free from sin and death. Life and death cannot get any better than that. He GAVE HIMSELF through death in order to GIVE eternal life IN HIMSELF. There is nothing to fear about being a Christian. The greater fear should be in what you will lose in NOT being a son of God.

A MINI RE-INTRODUCTION
This series titled The COAT prayerfully opened many different facets of the GODHEAD. From the first mention of the word COAT, God revealed the themes and subjects of SONSHIP, HEIRSHIP, SACRIFICE, PRIESTHOOD, KINGSHIP, KINGDOM and CONSPIRACY against the KINGDOM of God, the GREAT FORCE OF SIN, the SONS OF GOD and the MORNING STARS. Now let us venture into the last mention of the word coat through the guidance of the Holy Spirit of God. What does HE have for us through the Song of Solomon also known as the Song of Songs through the last documentation of the word coat in the Old Testament?
—–◆—–
SONG OF SONGS
CHAPTER 5
I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them? (Song of Songs 5:3)
One little word opened a swirling spiritual universe energized by TRUTHS. This is where I challenge you to READ previous articles around the word COAT. Before us now is another challenge. The first challenge is to give attendance to reading. I am not the author of this article, I am just the writer, the tapper of keys attempting to hear the thoughts of God from the mind of Christ through the Holy Spirit of God. I take this assignment knowing the responsibility of service, to be FAITHFUL in TRUTH.
The Song of Songs has eight (8) Chapters, and it is the twenty-second (22) book in the Old Testament. I encourage all readers to read not only the whole book of Song of Songs, but to concentrate on the fifth Chapter.
I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved. (Song 5:1)
I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night. (Song 5:2)
I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them? (Song 5:3)
My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him. (Song 5:4)
I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock. (Song 5:5)
I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer. (Song 5:6)
The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me. (Song 5:7)
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love. (Song 5:8)
What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us? (Song 5:9)
My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand. (Song 5:10)
His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven. (Song 5:11)
His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set. (Song 5:12)
His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh. (Song 5:13)
His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires. (Song 5:14)
His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. (Song 5:15)
His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem. (Song 5:16)

THE VOICE of THE BELOVED
I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved. (Song 5:1)
I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night. (Song 5:2)
I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them? (Song 5:3)
In verse 1 we have the voice of the Lord Jesus Christ. (How dare I write such a thing., How dare I bring the Lord Jesus Christ into the Old Testament.) Let me back up and rephrase it in another way. In verse 1, we have the voice of God, and since the Lord Jesus Christ IS God, we therefore have the voice of the Lord Jesus Christ. I have heard too many say things that they know nothing about, such as ‘Jesus never said _____, ‘ well if God said it then Jesus said it because the Lord Jesus Christ IS GOD. So simple even a child can say it.

I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved. (Song 5:1)
I am come into my garden. Who is speaking? What and where is this garden? It is NOT the garden of Eden, it is the spiritual garden of His love in the world of His creation. This garden is where those of FAITH safely reside IN Him and within this enclosed garden the spring is shut up and the fountain sealed from the reach to those outside of FAITH. As the tree of life in the garden of Eden was protected from those who hated God. The garden that the voice of God claimed as my garden was a place of liberty for the child of God, for those of FAITH, and for just men made perfect. It was a place protected by the love and personal care of the owner of the vineyard.
Knowing that God has a marvelous divine sense of humor, whenever I read verse 11 of Chapter 6, I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, [and] to see whether the vine flourished, [and] the pomegranates budded, I always think, yup, that’s us, (the nuts) the creatures under His care in His rich vineyard of spiritual nourishment . . . a garden of nuts.
The voice of God directs His words to my sister, my spouse and to friends. Three specific groups are called O beloved. Scripture discloses the close love relationship that God had with His people as a Husband to a wife.
MY SPOUSE: The Old Testament – How God Sees His People . . . but thou shalt be called Hephzibah (my Delight), and thy land Beulah (Married): for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. (Isaiah 62:4)
For thy Maker [is] thine husband; the LORD of hosts [is] his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. (Isaiah 54:5) For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. (Isaiah 54:6) For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. (Isaiah 54:7) In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. (Isaiah 54:8)

I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night. (Song 5:2)
In the next verse, verse 2 of Chapter 5, the voice of GOD IN CHRIST adds more: in the words I sleep, we have the death of Christ, and in the words my heart waketh there is the resurrection, also it is His VOICE that knocketh to those who He welcomes as His bride. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:20)
One of the teaching methods that God the Holy Spirit employs in Bible instruction is through progressive revelation. Verse 2 is an example of this teaching method. Verse 1 opens a subject and verse 2 ADDS more information to that subject, thus, progressive revelation. Many so-called scholars and Bible authorities treat progressive revelation as error. Whenever the Spirit of God ADDS more information into the discussion, ‘scholars’ treat the new information as a contradiction to the previous statement. They cannot accept that GOD teaches precept by precept, line upon line; here a little, and there a little – progressive revelation.
Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. (Isaiah 28:9)
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: (Isaiah 28:10)
For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. (Isaiah 28:11)
To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. (Isaiah 28:12)
But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. (Isaiah 28:13)

Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled.
MY SISTER – The relationship BEFORE consummation and at the marriage of the Lamb with the undefiled Church, the Body of Christ, in the inheritance of the children of God; all is fulfilled and consummated as prophesied in Scripture. How can anyone read these words: Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled, and not see the sons of God, the children of FAITH, just men made perfect, the bride of Christ, and the joint heirs together with Christ.
● As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. (John 15:9)
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. (John 15:10)
These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. (John 15:11)
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. (John 15:12)
● To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, (1st Peter 1:4)
● And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. (Revelation 19:6)
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. (Revelation 19:7)
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. (Revelation 19:8)
And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. (Revelation 19:9)
The Bride of Christ, His Church
● For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste virgin to Christ. (2nd Corinthians 11:2)
● For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. (Ephesians 5:23)
● And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (Revelation 21:2)
● And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife. (Revelation 21:9)
● And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. (Revelation 22:17)
The Old Testament and The New Testament – Friends
● Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever? (2nd Chronicles 20:7)
● But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend. (Isaiah 41:8)
● And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. (Luke 12:4)
● Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. (John 15:14)
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. (John 15:15)
● And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. (James 2:23)
● Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13)
The Old Testament through the voice of God is the foundation, the ground on which the New Testament is built on. Over one third of the New Testament IS the Old Testament. The Old Testament prepares the world for the New Testament. The Old Testament presents the principles that are the cornerstones for the doctrines in the New Testament. The Old Testament introduces the invisible GOD to mankind. The New Testament reveals that the invisible God IS the visible Person of Jesus Christ.
The Bible is ONE book with ONE GOD presented to man in His role as the CREATOR (THE FATHER OF ALL CREATION) and in His role as THE GOOD LIGHT of the world (THE SAVIOR SON in the PERSON OF JESUS the CHRIST) and in His role as SPIRIT (THE MOVER of GOODNESS and TRUTH) through the FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY . . . and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
● In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Genesis 1:1)
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. (Genesis 1:2)
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. (Genesis 1:3)
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. (Genesis 1:4)
● For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. (1st John 5:7)
And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. (1st John 5:8)

I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them? (Song 5:3)
Christ fulfilled through His prepared body (THE COAT) ALL righteousness. He wore the coat (His Body) of GRACE and TRUTH. He wore the coat of WISDOM, RIGHTEOUSNESS, SANCTIFICATION and REDEMPTION. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: (1st Corinthians 1:30) Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me. (Hebrews 10:5) Taking His earthly prepared Body and setting it aside, (I have put off my coat) He entered into the heavens and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. And having purged our sins, He sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; There at the right hand of the Majesty on high, He has taken His position as High Priest, bearing the vesture (the COAT) of Melchisedec as Priest and Intercessor for His own.
● Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2)
● Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; (Hebrews 1:3)
● Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; (Hebrews 8:1)
● Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. (1st Peter 3:22)
Leaving His earthly garments behind, I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? Having washed His feet from the dust and dirt of His walk among man, and having His feet washed while on earth in preparation for His death, burial and resurrection, why then would He need to return to earth again to accomplish what He had already accomplished. I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them? (Song of Songs 5:3)
This is the last mention of coat in the Old Testament, and thus . . . and therefore . . . and henceforth, we will end this article at this point. Looking for the moving of the Holy Spirit of God to direct in the next mention of the word coat in the New Testament. There is enough in this article to keep seekers of truth and children of FAITH busy for a few minutes. Until the next article, good bye my fellow keyboard warriors, and farewell my same-minded mates in matters of the Holy.
