Going the Extra Mile

Going the extra mile with the adversary our accuser who has taken our coat, our rainment our robe of righteousness our immortal covering of light… Well isn’t it nice to know, we are only required to go with him 2 miles, the thief and robber that he is and a murderer from the beginning?

One extra mile = 1,000 steps.(a mile, among the Romans or the revived Roman Empire is the distance of a thousand paces or eight stadia) and distance can also be measured in the time it takes to walk it out. It is noteworthy that paces may vary from individual to individual and 8 stadia makes me think of a 7 day week + one day = the 8th day and a literal renewing and re-starting of the weekly cycle over again as the 7th day consumes away and becomes the first day all over again just like a circle. If one mile is as a 1,000 years and it has been 2,000 years since the Master of the Law of Liberty came in the flesh and walked as a son of man who is recorded as having already spoken these words,” And if any man goes to law with you and takes away your coat, do not keep back your robe from him. 41 And whoever makes you go one mile, go with him two.” Mathew 5:40 We have done our time and walked out the full two miles...




Mathew 5 is about the Law and the adversary of the Law who will be the least in authority in the Kingdom of heaven as it is written…The adversary who strives to continually take our covering and keep our robes of righteousness from us may compel us to go the extra mile or 1,000 steps again as it is written…But his time is up! He has no authority over us.

Mathew 5:17 Let there be no thought that I have come to put an end to the law or the prophets. I have not come for destruction, but to make complete. 18 Truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth come to an end, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will in any way be taken from the law, till all things are done. 19 Whoever then goes against the smallest of these laws, teaching men to do the same, will be named least(in authority) in the kingdom of heaven; but he who keeps the laws, teaching others to keep them, will be named great in the kingdom of heaven...
