Jesus said, Luke 12:47-48 - Verse 47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
 Verse 48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

The faithful Servant and the Evil Servant: Final disciple teachings of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ
Luke 12:35-48 - Jesus had just finished preaching a parable of the Rich fool, he said in verse 34, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." 35Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
 36And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
 37Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
 38And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
 39And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
 40Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not."
 41Then Peter said unto him, "Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?"
 42And the Lord said, "Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
 43Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
 44Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
 45But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
 46The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
 47And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
 48But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
Christ (the annointing) Brings Division
 49I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
 50But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
 51Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
 52For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
 53The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law."
Discern the Time
 54And he said also to the people, "When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
 55And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
 56Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
Make Peace with Your Adversary
 57Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
 58When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
 59I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite." (Luke 12:35-99, King James Version)

The commandment to create ephods, crowns, robes, breast plates, turbans and other priestly garments; curtains, veils, taches, rings, an ark for the testimony in the most holy place and to remain holy is given in these two chapter of the book of Exodus (Chapters 27 and 28). God wants to sanctify you by giving you the best that he has from his threshingfloor, so you can never have an excuse to want and not have; but today we are faced with the signs of the times that prevent the everlasting statutes and commandments presented in the bible. As you can see the neglect to fulfill the scriptures in the Bible - the gospel is backed by the power of God.

The breast plate is especially designed to bear the names of the sons of Israel, and is later called the Urim and Thummim (Lights and Perfections). The High Priest wore the priestly garments when he went before the tabernacle of meeting, or near the altar to minister in the holy place before the LORD. He also wore a jeweled breast plate with twelve jeweled gem stones; and wore a pure gold engraved plate on his forehead that read, "Holy to the LORD." Aaroln shall continually wear the seal on his forehead and bear the judgement of the children of Israel's iniquity of the holy things that the children of Israel hallow in all the holy gifts, that they may be acceptable before the LORD, their God - and they do not incur (guilt) iniquity and die.

Although the ephod and the breast plate are memorials unto the LORD, and therefore this patriarch of the Sons and descendants shall be sealed as family forever; the priestly garments are everlasting stattues to Aaron and his Sons, and was practiced in the nation of Judah, until it fell and many of the remnant did not escape while fleeing in Egypt.

May your service and praise for God be perfect and the annointing reveal the hidden truths in the scripture of our LORD, given to Moses and then to us, as the word of God. Jesus said that greatness can be measured in the least by his service to his God in the God of Israel - avoiding the wrath of God, but the follownig list are other attributes of God:
  1. spirit
  2. wisdom
  3. grace
  4. word
  5. will
  6. inspiriation
  7. prepared
  8. throne
  9. commandment
  10. power
  11. love
  12. angels
  13. sons
  14. Kingdom
