Isaiah's Miniature Bible Where Every Chapter Mentions A Book Of The Bible

Isaiah Chapter 25 Speaks About The Book Of Lamentations

The book of Isaiah has 66 chapters and the bible has 66 books. 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 Books in the New Testament. Every chapter in the book of Isaiah corresponds to a book of the bible. Isaiah's 66 chapters correspond to 66 books of the bible. The book of Isaiah is a miniature bible that speaks about every book of the bible. Every chapter in the book of Isaiah has at least two references to a corresponding book of the bible. This only occurs in a 1611 KJV bible that has infinite mathematical perfection to discover. Let's journey through every chapter in the book of Isaiah and a corresponding book of the bible to learn about the Word of God.

Isaiah chapter 25 speaks about the book of Lamentations. Isaiah chapter 25 and the book of Lamentations both speak about the battle of Armageddon where the Lord Jesus will tread and trample the devil, the beast antichrist, the false prophet, and everyone that rejected the Lord Jesus in the winepress wrath of God and give victory to the bride church, old testament, tribulation, and millennial saints.

Isaiah 25:10 speaks about Armageddon where Jesus treads, tramples, and defeats his enemies. For in this mountain shall the hand of the Lord rest, and Moab shall be trodden under Him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill. Lamentations 1:15 also speaks about Armageddon where Jesus treads, tramples, and defeats his enemies. The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the Lord hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress.

Everyone has a choice to either receive Jesus and get saved or reject Jesus and be damned. Whatever anyone does with the chief corner stone who is the Lord Jesus determines where they will live forever. If you get saved with Jesus, you will live forever in the peaceful kingdom of God. If you reject Jesus, you will be tormented forever in hell and the lake of fire. Ephesians 2:19 tells us that saved christians are built upon the foundation chief corner stone who is the Lord Jesus Christ. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone.

Anyone that rejects the chief corner stone who is the Lord Jesus will be broken, crushed, and ground to powder when Jesus treads, tramples, and defeats his enemies in the winepress wrath of God. Luke 20:17 says And He (Jesus) beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The (chief corner) stone (Jesus) which the builders rejected; the same is become the head of the corner? Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. These broken and crushed enemies that reject the Lord Jesus will be cast into hell and the lake of fire to be tormented for ever.

I pray in Jesus name that anyone reading this will get saved and escape the wrath of God and live with the Lord Jesus for ever in the peaceful kingdom of God. 1 Peter 2:6 describes what happens to anyone that gets saved and believes that the chief corner stone (Jesus) is precious. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone (the Lord Jesus), elect, precious: and he that believeth on Him shall not be confounded.

Unto you therefore which believe He is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

Note the following scriptures about christians being saved from the winepress wrath of God's judgment. Romans 5:9 says Much more then, being now justified by His (Jesus') blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 1 Thessalonians 1:10 says And to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. 1 Thessalonians 5:9 says For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. The wrath of God is reserved for the devil, beast antichrist, the false prophet, and anyone that rejects the Lord Jesus. But saved christians, old testament, tribulation, and millennial saints will escape the wrath of God.

Get Saved And Escape The Winepress Wrath Of The Lord Jesus

Get Saved, Repent, Decide To Stop Sinning,

Confess That Jesus Is God, And Believe The Gospel

That Jesus Died On The Cross For You, Was Buried, And Rose Again

The Lord Jesus Will Tread, Trample, And Defeat His Enemies

And Everyone That Rejected Jesus

At The Battle Of Armageddon

Pictured above the Beast Antichrist will come to his end in Israel at the final Battle of Armageddon in the valley of Megiddo (also called the Jezreel Valley). Revelation 16:16 speaks about the final Battle of Armageddon. And he (the Lord Jesus) gathered them together (the Antichrist and his nations) into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon (at the valley of Megiddo pictured above to fight Jesus).

Today Armageddon exists and is called Tel Meggido (an archeological site with 25 layers of different civilizations). A Tel is a man made creation (not a natural mountain) that consists of layers of superimposed cities rebuilt on top of one another after battles. New rulers built new homes and buildings on top of conquered cities. When archeologists dig down into a Tel they find remains of different civilizations in different uncovered layers or strata. Since most of the battles in the bible were fought at the Jezreel Megiddo valley, the final battle and Jesus' victory will be at Armageddon.

Jesus will defeat the Beast Antichrist and the false prophet at Tel Meggido and cast them alive into the lake of fire to suffer 1000 years and forever. Revelation 19:19 says And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him that sat on the horse, and against His army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Isaiah 14:25 speaks about the Assyrian Antichrist's defeat by Jesus saying That I (the Lord Jesus) will break the Assyrian in my land (at the valley of Megiddo in Israel), and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.

At Armageddon and during the Millennium Jesus will rule the world for 1000 years with a rod of iron. Instead of being a meek Lamb of God like the first time Jesus appeared on this earth, Jesus will be a Lion of the tribe of Judah and King of kings for 1000 years on this earth. Revelation 14:19 and Isaiah 63:1 describe what happens during the battle of Armageddon. Jesus will tread down all enemy nations in the winepress of His wrath where the blood of the slain will be the height of a horse's bridle by the space of about 200 miles.

Revelation 14:19 describes Armageddon saying And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs (200 miles) (1 furlong=1/8 of a mile: 1600 furlongs/8=200 miles).

Isaiah 63:1 also describes Armageddon saying Who is this (Jesus) that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah (defined as sheepfold)? Before Jesus returns to earth, Jesus will have his angels gather the tribulation saints that endured to the end (sheep from the sheepfold) from the city of Bozrah in Edom, Jordan at Petra and anywhere else on earth that escaped the Beast Antichrist to join the bride church army in heaven. When Jesus returns to this earth, Jesus will first split the Mount of Olives with His feet (Zechariah 14:4) and go through the Eastern Gate of Jerusalem followed by His army (the bride church, old testament saints, and tribulation saints).

Finally Jesus and all his saved army saints will go to Armageddon to fight, defeat, and cast the Beast Antichrist and the false prophet alive into the lake of fire. Note that Jesus' garments will be dyed with the blood of the defeated sinners trodden down by the winepress wrath of Jesus. Isaiah 63:1 describes the Lord Jesus in His glory saying this that is glorious in His apparel, traveling in the greatness of His strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.

Isaiah 63:2 goes on to say Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like Him that treadeth in the winefat? I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. Finally Isaiah 63:6 describes the winepress wrath of God during Armageddon saying And I (Jesus) will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.

After the Lord Jesus with his bride church, old testament saints, and tribulation saints travel through the Mount of Olives and the Eastern Gate, the Lord Jesus will travel 200 miles from Bozrah (Petra Jordan) to the Jezreel valley and trample sinners that took the mark of the beast and rejected Jesus with the great winepress of the wrath of God. It's amazing that it is 200 miles from Bozrah to Jezreel where the battle of Armageddon takes place. The blood that comes out of the winepress will be even unto the horse bridles by the space of 200 miles.

Notice Goliath of Gath pictured above mocking little David who challenged Goliath to a battle. David took a stone, slang it at Goliath, and smote Goliath in his forehead and slew Goliath. Then David took Goliath's sword and cut off Goliath's head. Then David took Goliath's head and drug it past King Saul. But David did not stop there. David drug Goliath's head all the way to Jerusalem. This is stated at 1 Samuel 17:54 that says And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.

You might say Why is it so important to remember that David took Goliath's head to Jerusalem? The answer to this question is one of the most incredible revelations Jesus ever revealed to Brother Bob. I pray in Jesus name that when you read this revelation, joy, peace, and strength will bless every area of your lives. Put on you seat belts and prepare to shout for victory while you view the picture below and the true meaning of Golgatha and the place where our Lord Jesus was crucified.

Pictured above is Golgatha that the bible says is the place where Jesus was crucified. Golgatha exists today in Israel and is called the place of a skull. John 19:17 says And He (Jesus) bearing His cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha (also called Golgatha): Where they crucified Him, and two other with Him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

Now remember that David took Goliath's head to Jerusalem and left Goliath's head at a place called Golgatha. I wanted to shout a victory praise all day when Jesus showed Brother Bob that Golgatha really means Gol-Goliath Gath of Gath a. You see friend if you look closely at the picture of what Golgatha looks like today, notice the big giant skull of Goliath in the middle of the rocks. Look closely at the above picture to see Goliath's forehead, two eyes, nose, mustache, teeth that are laughing, and a chin. Goliath was a large giant with a big head. Just think how big Goliath's body was when you look above at how big Goliath's head was.

Now you might say Brother Bob Why is it so blessed to remember that Jesus was crucified over the skull of the giant Goliath? The answer is that when Jesus died for his saints on the cross at Golgatha, Jesus destroyed any giant problems for all saved saints, and Jesus wants us to remember that Goliath's head now is just a skull and the giant Goliath no longer exists. Golgatha is just Goliath's skull with no Goliath. In the picture above, Jesus was crucified over the skull of Goliath and truly destroyed and bruised satan under His feet. Romans 16:20 says And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. Hebrews 2:14 says Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.

For my final thought on this subject, lets look at the Hebrew definitions of David, Goliath, and Gath. David (beloved) represents the beloved church. Goliath (splendour) represents the glamorous world that fades away. And Gath (winepress) represents Jesus trampling over the devil's head in victory. Now remember that the bible says that Jesus treadeth, tramples, and crushes the devil in the great winepress of the wrath of God (Revelation 14:19). Along with Jesus, I claim in Jesus name that my friends (the beloved church) tread, trample, and crush all their giant problems under their feet. In Jesus name, to anyone reading this, the devil and all your problems past, present, and future are under your feet and have disappeared.

Isaiah Chapter 26 Speaks About The Book Of Ezekiel

Isaiah chapter 26 speaks about the book of Ezekiel. Isaiah chapter 26 and the book of Ezekiel both speak about the resurrection of the old testament saints. Note that there are four different resurrections of 144000 preselected Jewish old testament saints, the bride church, tribulation saints with the rest of the old testament saints, and millennial saints that when finished are called the first resurrection.

Isaiah 26:19 says Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. Ezekiel said that the old testament saints who are in a valley of dry bones will resurrect and come to life. Ezekiel 37:3 says And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest. Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live. And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

Ezekiel 37:11 says Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

Four Resurrections That When Finished Are Called The First Resurrection

1) Firstfruits-Resurrection of 144000 Jewish Old Testament Saints

2) Harvest-Resurrection Of The Bride Church

3) Gleanings-Resurrection Of Old Testament And Tribulation Saints

4) Millennial Saints Receive Their Glorified Bodies At The Millennium's End

Four resurrections are noted in the Word of God. 1 Corinthians 15:22-24 describes these four resurrections: For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ (Jesus is the first to be resurrected), the firstfruits (144000 preselected Jewish old testament saints that got resurrected after Jesus died on the cross of Calvary who will return to earth from heaven during the tribulation). Revelation 14:4 says These 144000 Jewish old testament saints were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

After Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected, Matthew 27:52 says And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints (only the firstfruits who are the144000 Jewish saints who are many but not all of the old testament saints) which slept arose, And (the 144000 Jewish old testament saints) came out of the graves after His (Jesus') resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 1 Corinthians 15:23 continues to say afterward they that are Christ's at His coming (the resurrected harvest or bride church at the rapture). Then cometh the end (the resurrection of the rest of the old testament saints and the tribulation saints called the gleanings), when He (Jesus) shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

The phrase "Come up hither" appears three times in the bible describing the above noted three resurrections. God's Word tells us about three "Come up hithers" that describe the resurrections of the 144000 Jewish old testament saints, the bride church, the old testament saints, and the tribulation saints. The first "Come up hither" describing Jesus with the 144000 Jewish old testament saints resurrecting first is at Proverbs 25:7. For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.

The second "Come up hither" describing the rapture of the bride church occurs at Revelation 4:1. The disciple John said After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. The disciple John was called the beloved disciple whom Jesus loved and represents the bride church that the bridegroom Jesus loves (John 21:20, 24).

The third "Come up hither" describing the rapture of the old testament and tribulation saints represented by the two witnesses (Moses and Elijah) occurs at Revelation 11:12. And they (Moses and Elijah) heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. The rapture of the old testament and tribulation saints by the reaper angels like wheat gathered into a barn separated from the tares is described at the following two scriptures. Matthew 24:31 says And He (Jesus) shall send His angels (the reapers) with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect (old testament and tribulation saints) from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Matthew 13:30 says Let both grow together (wheat and tares) until the harvest (rapture of the old testament and tribulation saints): and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers (angels), Gather ye together first the tares (people that rejected Jesus), and bind them in bundles to burn them (in the lake of fire): but gather the wheat (old testament and tribulation saints) into my barn (storehouse in heaven).

Revelation 14:14-16 also describes the rapture of the old testament and tribulation saints that is different from the earlier rapture of the bride church. And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man (Jesus), having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And He that sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. When Jesus thrusts in His sickle, the reaper angels will gather the old testament and tribulation saints up to heaven to join the bride church army of God.

Revelation 14:17-20 says And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

To summarize Revelation 14:14-20, after the first rapture of the bride church that gets caught up to the clouds to meet Jesus, before Jesus touches the Mount of Olives on this earth, Jesus will again appear upon a cloud with a golden crown using a sharp sickle for a second rapture by angels who gather the old testament and tribulation saints to join the bride church army in heaven. Next two other angels will reap the tares (bind all those that rejected Jesus and took the mark of the beast antichrist into bundles and use fire to burn them in the lake of fire).

At the battle of Armageddon Jesus will return to earth after touching the Mount of Olives with his army (the bride church, old testament saints, and the tribulation saints) to cast the beast antichrist and the false prophet into the lake of fire alive. Jesus will return as the Lion of the tribe of Judah to rule and reign with a rod of iron on this earth for 1000 years, trampling those that rejected Jesus like a winepress where the blood will be unto the horse bridles for 200 miles that is 1600 furlongs.

Daniel 12:1-2 describes the resurrection of the old testament saints (separate and after the bride church's earlier resurrection at the rapture) that occurs with the tribulation saints' resurrection at the end of the tribulation. And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time (the great 7 year tribulation): and at that time thy people (old testament and tribulation saints) shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

The resurrection of the millennial saints at the end of the millennium is described at Revelation 20:4-5 that says And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years (resurrected tribulation saints). But the rest of the dead (millennial saints) lived not again until the thousand years were finished (resurrection of the millennial saints at the end of the millennium). This is the first resurrection (old testament, church, tribulation, and millennial saints).

Revelation 20:6 goes on to say Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years. Hallelujah, saved saints in the church are kings and priests with Jesus that will rule and reign with Jesus over cities during the millennium and forever in the kingdom of God. Revelation 1:6 tells us that Jesus has made christians in the church kings and priests unto God and His Father, to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Job And Hosea Spoke About The Resurrection Of The Old Testament Saints

Job and Hosea spoke about the resurrection of the old testament saints. Job 19:25 says For I know that my redeemer (Jesus) liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God. Hosea 13:14 says I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.

Like the old testament saints, saved christians in the bride church will also be resurrected to eternal life. Philippians 3:20 says For our conversation (citizenship) is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto Himself. John 5:28 says Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

1 Thessalonians 4:16 says For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Corinthians 15:51 says Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Blessed Sayings About The Rapture

I'm not looking for the undertaker, I'm looking for the uppertaker (Jesus Christ)

I'm not looking for a hole in the ground, I'm looking for a hole in the sky

I'm not looking for a sign, I'm listening for a sound

According To 1 Corinthians 15:55 Christians Who Are Alive During The Rapture

Will Say O Death, Where Is Thy Sting?

And The Dead In Christ Will Say O Grave, Where Is Thy Victory?

We're Getting Out Of Here Like Superman

And Coming Back Like The Lone Ranger

I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength.

Why Does The Lord Jesus Appear In The Whirlwind, What Is The Dance Of Mahanaim, Rejoice About The Devil's Death Sentence And How God Creates New Heavens And Earth With No Devil From Isaiah's Miniature Bible

Isaiah's Miniature Bible Where Every Chapter Mentions A Book Of The Bible

Isaiah Chapter 21 Speaks About The Book Of Ecclesiastes

Isaiah chapter 21 speaks about the book of Ecclesiastes. Isaiah chapter 21 and the book of Ecclesiastes both speak about how the Lord Jesus is mighty and powerful in the whirlwind and yet merciful to humble christians that reverence and worship His magnificent holiness. Isaiah 21:1 says The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land. Ecclesiastes 1:6 says The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits. Notice how the number 1 at Isaiah 21:1 corresponds to the 1st chapter of the book of Ecclesiastes at Ecclesiastes 1:6. Both of these scriptures speak about the Lord Jesus who is mighty, powerful, and yet merciful in the whirlwind.

The Lord Jesus Can Make The Whirlwind Cease Or Make The Whirlwind Blow

The Lord Jesus has the power to make the whirlwind cease or make the whirlwind blow. Even when men can't control or stop stormy winds that rush forth with an irresistable force, Jesus has power over the wind to make it cease or blow again. Jesus made the wind cease during a storm on a boat with his disciples. Mark 4:39 says And He (Jesus) arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And He said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him? The Lord Jesus made the raging waves lay down like sleeping dogs at His feet and the winds howling like maniacs began to whisper softly like babes in sleep. And the Lord Jesus can also make the wind blow. Psalm 147:18 says He sendeth out His Word, and melteth them: He (Jesus) causeth His wind to blow, and the waters flow.

Note the incredible power of the Lord Jesus while you say Proverbs 30:4. Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in His fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is His name, and what is His son's name, if thou cast tell? Proverbs 30:4 tells us that the Lord Jesus hath gathered the wind in His fists. In other words Jesus can hold the wind fast in His fists or let the wind loose by just opening His fists. What a powerful God the Lord Jesus is who can stop a tornado or cyclone by just gathering the wind in his fists.

The Lord Jesus Walks On The Wings Of The Wind

Among 20000 Chariots With Innumerable Angels On The Clouds Of Heaven

Note the power and majesty of the Lord Jesus stated at Psalm 104:1 that says Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: Who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds His chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind. Psalm 68:17 says The chariots (angels riding on horses) of God are 20000 (note that the Hebrew definition for 20000 is myriad or infinite chariots with innumerable angels), even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.

Even though the Lord Jesus is mighty and powerful in the whirlwind, the Lord Jesus is merciful and slow to anger, blessing christians that reverence His magnificent holiness. Nahum 1:3 says The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked; the Lord hath His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet. Isaiah 57:15 says For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. After Elijah experienced a rushing mighty whirlwind, an earthquake, and a fire in a cave, the Lord Jesus spoke to Elijah with a peaceful still small voice (1 Kings 19:11-15).

The disciples were filled with the Holy Ghost after they experienced the presence of the Lord Jesus in a rushing mighty whirlwind. Acts 2:1 says And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

The Lord Jesus who is the Holy Spirit is a rushing mighty whirlwind that can't be seen but can be felt. After anyone gets saved with Jesus, like the wind, they can feel God's presence even though they can't see God. Jesus said at John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

In other words faith in the Lord Jesus is required to be saved. Hebrews 11:6 says But without faith it is impossible to please Him (Jesus): for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. Even though you can't see the Lord Jesus or the wind, get saved and receive the Lord Jesus by faith. After salvation with the Lord Jesus, you will feel the peaceful presence of God like a peaceful ocean breeze on a seashore.

Get Saved, Repent, Decide To Stop Sinning,

Confess That Jesus Is God, And Believe The Gospel

That Jesus Died On The Cross For You, Was Buried, And Rose Again

Isaiah Chapter 22 Speaks About The Book Of Song Of Solomon

Isaiah chapter 22 speaks about the book of Song of Solomon. Isaiah chapter 22 and the book of Song of Solomon both speak about what happens when the Shulamite bride church meets the bridegroom who is the Lord Jesus. After the bride church gets rejected by the world, the Lord Jesus tells the bride church to return to God and receive joy, peace, and strength. Jesus said at John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Isaiah 22:4 speaks about the bride church's sorrow in this world. Only the Lord Jesus can deliver anyone from the sorrow of this world. Isaiah 22:4 says Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people. Song of Solomon 1:6 also speaks about the bride church's sorrow in this world. Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.

The bridegroom who is the Lord Jesus tells the Shulamite bride church to return to God who will remove the sorrow of the world. The Lord Jesus says at Song of Solomon 6:13 Return, return, O Shulamite (the perfect and peaceful bride church because Jesus washed away christians' sins with His own precious blood shed at the cross of Calvary); return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company (dance) of two armies (called the Mahanaim).

What Is The Dance Of Two Armies Or The Dance Of Mahanaim

After Salvation By The Bride Church With The Bridegroom Jesus

After the Lord Jesus told the Shulamite bride church to return to God, He said that when anyone looks upon the Shulamite bride church, they will see a dance of two armies called the dance of Mahanaim. Mahanaim called two camps or two armies was mentioned by Jacob when he met the angels of God. Genesis 32:1 says And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host (armies of angels): and he called the name of that place Mahanaim (two camps or two armies). Saved christians in the bride church are as the angels of God in heaven and experience the dance of Mahanaim with the bridegroom Jesus. Matthew 22:30 says For in the resurrection they (saved christians) neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

The dance of Mahanaim or the dance of two armies represents the perfect union between the bride church and the Lord Jesus where christians learn to dance in step harmoniously with Jesus. Christians step into unlimited spiritual authority and purpose by letting the Lord Jesus lead them in both natural and spiritual realms. Christians are encouraged to learn the Mahanaim dance by aligning their steps, hearts, and movements with God's divine purpose while they are guided by Jesus' presence.

After salvation with the Lord Jesus, christians should experience the dance of Mahanaim by becoming more and more like the Lord Jesus every day. 1 John 2:6 says He that saith he abideth in Him (Jesus) ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked. 2 Corinthians 3:18 says But we all, with open face beholding, as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 1 John 4:17 says Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as He is, so are we in this world.

1 Peter 2:21 explains how to follow the steps of Jesus while you get blessed with the dance of Mahanaim. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth: Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously. In other words let go and let God when you feel overwhelmed by this world. Remember Brother Bob's motto for success. Avoid angry people, forgive forever, and always love your enemies.

After the marriage celebration in heaven between the bride church and the bridegroom Jesus, there will be a blessed marriage supper during the millennium on this earth where the bride church and the bridegroom Jesus will enjoy the dance of Mahanaim. After the blessed wedding in heaven between the church and Jesus, there will be a blessed dance of Mahanaim where christians, old testament, tribulation, and millennial saints will rejoice and dance at the marriage supper during the millennium with the Lord Jesus because of eternal victory over the devil and this troubled world.

Isaiah Chapter 23 Speaks About The Book Of Isaiah

Isaiah chapter 23 speaks about the book of Isaiah. Isaiah chapter 23 and the book of Isaiah speak about the destruction of the devil (king of Tyre or Tyrus) and mystery Babylon that is Rome, Italy and the Vatican Catholic church where Israel will be the strongest nation on this earth during the thousand year millennium. Everything will be brought low and only the Lord Jesus will be exalted during the millennium. Isaiah 23:1 says The burden of Tyre, Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim (all the islands and every nation on this earth except Israel) it is revealed to them.

The king of Tyre or Tyrus speaks about the devil. The Hebrew definition for Tyre or Tyrus is a little r rock that describes the devil. A capital R Rock describes the Lord Jesus. 1 Corinthians 10:4 says And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. The devil is nothing but a powerless fake imitation of the Lord Jesus. Deuteronomy 32:30 says How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up? For their rock (the devil) is not as our Rock (the Lord Jesus), even our enemies themselves being judges.

Note what God thinks of all the nations on this earth except Israel. Isaiah 40:15 says Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering. All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity. God considers every nation nothing and less than nothing (a 0 with the ring taken out) except Israel who is not reckoned (numbered) among the nations.

Numbers 23:9 says For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people (Israel) shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned (numbered) among the nations. In other words look for the nation of Israel to soon be removed from the United Nations. Israel will be the strongest nation where Jesus and the saved church, old testament saints, tribulation saints, and millennial saints will rule and reign on this earth for 1000 years with King Jesus. Psalm 122:6 says Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

Amos tells us that after the Jews were restored to the land of Israel on May 14, 1948, no one will be able to pull up the Jews out of the land of Israel. Amos 9:14 says And I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God. No nation will be able to remove the Jews from Israel.

When any nation fights against Jerusalem, that nation fights against God and will be destroyed. Zechariah 12:9 says And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. Remember what God told Balaam about the Jews and Israel. God said you can't curse what I have blessed. Numbers 22:12 says And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people (the Jews and Israel): for they are blessed.

Isaiah 2:12 says For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of man shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

The Prophets Isaiah And Ezekiel Speak About The Devil's Death Sentence

Isaiah 14:12 says How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer (devil), son of the morning. how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit (note that the devil will be powerless and falling by the sides of a bottomless pit with no bottom for 1000 years). Tell the devil you're going to be on the chain gang for 1000 years chained with a great chain where you will be falling continuously with no bottom in a sealed bottomless pit.

They that see thee (devil) shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? All the kings of the nations, even all them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet. Remember that with the Lord Jesus, christians always have the victory over the devil who is trodden under our feet. Romans 16:20 says And the God of peace (the Lord Jesus) shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

Ezekiel 28:12 speaks about the king of Tyrus or Tyre who is the devil that was in the garden of Eden and the devil's death sentence forever in the lake of fire. Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

The devil was the 5th cherub and king over the reptiles who was cast out of heaven. Note that the other four cherubims that remain continuously praising the Lord Jesus in heaven are the lion, king of the wild beasts, the ox or calf, king of the domesticated animals, the eagle, king of the fowls (birds), and man, king of the people. Ezekiel 28:14 describes the devil and says Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Revelation 18:8 says that the devil and the merchandise of Babylon Rome, Italy and the Vatican Catholic church with it's billions of dollars will be utterly destroyed in one day when they are cast into the lake of fire forever. Therefore shall her (the devil with the beast antichrist Roman Catholic church) plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God (Jesus) who judgeth her.

Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick: therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee, All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. Rejoice because soon the devil, the beast antichrist, and the false prophet will become ashes in the lake of fire forever and never shalt they be anymore. Revelation 20:10 says And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Rejoice because there will be five downs for the devil because of the devil's five proud I wills at Isaiah 14:13-14. The first down from the third heaven to the second heaven is noted at Ezekiel 28:16 that says By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God (in the third heaven): and I will destroy thee (devil), O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

The second down from the second heaven to the first heaven is noted at Luke 10:18 that says I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. The third down from the first heaven to the earth is noted at Revelation 12:9 that says And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

The fourth down from the earth to the bottomless pit is noted at Revelation 20:1-3: And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. And finally the fifth down for the devil from the bottomless pit to the lake of fire is noted at Revelation 20:10: And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Hallelujah five downs for the devil who will be on the chain gang for 1000 years and be defeated forever. Remember when the devil reminds you of your past, remind him of his future. Tell the devil you're going to be on the chain gang for 1000 years chained with a great chain where you will be falling constantly with no bottom in a sealed bottomless pit.

Isaiah Chapter 24 Speaks About The Book Of Jeremiah

Isaiah chapter 24 speaks about the book of Jeremiah. Isaiah chapter 24 and the book of Jeremiah both speak about the Lord Jesus burning up the present fading heavens and earth with fire and creating new heavens and a new earth. Isaiah 24:4 says The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish. Jeremiah 4:28 says For thus shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it. Notice how the number 4 at Isaiah 24:4 corresponds to the 4th chapter of Jeremiah at Jeremiah 4:28.

2 Peter 3:12 describes how God will destroy the present heavens and earth by fire saying Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. When God destroys the present fading heavens and earth with fire, saved saints will not be harmed by the fire. This is because Isaiah 43:2 says When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

Even though the Lord Jesus is all powerful and will destroy the present heavens and earth with fire, Jesus will be merciful and preserve His saved saints. The Lord Jesus said at Isaiah 54:10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.

The Lord Jesus said at Isaiah 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. There will be no bad thoughts, no bad memories, and best of all no devil in the kingdom of God. Revelation 21:4 says 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. When the Lord Jesus just looks at the present heavens and earth, they will dissolve and disappear by fire. Revelation 20:11 says And I saw a great white throne, and Him (Jesus) that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

After the Lord Jesus burns up the present heavens and earth, the Lord Jesus will create new heavens and a new earth where the saved saints will live in peace forever in the new Jerusalem. John said at Revelation 21:1 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. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. It won't be boring in the kingdom of God because Jesus will create infinite heavens to explore. Isaiah 66:22 says For as the new heavens (infinite heavens) and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain.

Why Haman Cast Pur, Why Priests Used Urim And Thummim, How John Wycliffe And William Tyndale Rebelled Against The Catholic Nicolaitans, And Why Isaiah Walked Naked And Barefoot For Three Years From Isaiah's Miniature Bible

Isaiah's Miniature Bible Where Every Chapter Mentions A Book Of The Bible

Isaiah Chapter 17 Speaks About The Book Of Esther

Isaiah chapter 17 speaks about the book of Esther. Isaiah chapter 17 and the book of Esther both speak about Haman casting Pur or lots to determine a day to destroy the Jews. Pictured above Haman cast the dice called Pur or lots on a calendar that landed on the thirteenth day of the Hebrew month of Adar. Then Haman made a law to destroy the Jews on the thirteenth day of Adar (March 14, 2026 on the English calendar). Esther 3:13 says And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.

To cast Pur means to throw lots or dice to decide a matter, believed by many in the ancient world to reveal divine will or to determine fate. Casting Pur symbolizes a moment when an individual uses a random method, such as casting lots or throwing dice to make a decision or determine an outcome, often with unforeseen spiritual consequences. After Haman cast Pur (lots or dice) and decided to destroy the Jews on the thirteenth day of Adar, Esther and Mordecai learned about Haman's evil plot. When Esther told King Ahasuerus about Haman's evil plot, the king had Haman killed on the gallows that Haman had prepared for Mordecai the Jew. Then King Ahasuerus allowed the Jews to make a law where they could defend themselves on the thirteenth day of Adar. The Jews survived and won a great victory over Haman and their enemies.

The casting of Pur was meant for evil, but God turned the outcome around, leading to the salvation of the Jewish people and the establishment of the festival of Purim. The Jewish festival of Purim is named Purim (meaning lots) to remember the lots that Haman cast and the subsequent victory when the Jews defeated their enemies.

Note the following scriptures in Isaiah and Esther that both speak about Haman casting Pur or lots. Isaiah 17:14 says And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he (Haman) is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us (Haman got killed on his own gallows built for Mordecai after he cast Pur or lots to destroy the Jews).

Esther 9:24 says Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy, them; But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows. Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them, the Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year.

God's Blessed Way Of Using Urim And Thummim To Make Decisions

Instead Of Casting Pur Used By The Devil And Haman To Make Decisions

The Urim and Thummim, a pair of sacred stones worn by the ancient Israelite high priest on his breastplate, are believed to have been used to determine God's will through a form of divination or casting lots, with the word Urim meaning lights and Thummim meaning perfections or truth. The Urim and Thummim were used to obtain divine guidance for national decisions before the first temple's destruction, after which they disappear from the biblical narrative.

The Urim and Thummim enabled the high priest to receive answers from God, especially for major decisions concerning the nation. Some traditions suggest that when consulted, certain letters on the stones would light up or protrude, forming an answer for the high priest to read. Other traditions suggest that the Urim and Thummim functioned like lots, with one being chosen or cast to give a yes or no answer to a question. The Urim and Thummim were kept in a pouch or pocket within the breastplate of the high priest's ephod, resting over his heart. The use of Urim and Thummim ceased after the Babylonian exile, and there is no record of their use after the time of King David. Revelation through prophets and other means replaced the use of the Urim and Thummim.

The Urim and Thummim are first mentioned in the description of the high priest's breastplate of judgment. Exodus 28:30 says And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goeth in before the Lord: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the Lord continually.

Joshua was instructed to receive answers through the high priest Eleazar by the Urim and Thummim when needing divine guidance for the movements of the Israelite army. Numbers 27:21 says And he (Joshua) shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the Lord: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.

Today christians are saved by grace and not subject to the letter where they have to confess their sins and get answers from a Catholic earthly priest like the ancient priests who consulted Urim and Thummim. Romans 10:4 says For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. The Catholics remain under the letter and request everyone to confess their sins and receive instruction from an earthly priest called a father or the pope.

Catholics worship Mary and call priests and the pope father. Brother Bob is not a Catholic. Brother Bob is a Christian who only worships the Lord Jesus Christ. I don't hate Catholic people; I speak out against the false doctrines of the Catholic leaders in the Catholic church. Matthew 23:9 says And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. I don't have to confess my sins through a knothole to a Latin speaking, bead counting, robe wearing priest that calls himself a father, and the bird ain't even married, and to top it off he dresses like mama.

Christians should not worship Mary like Catholic leaders. When a woman told Jesus that Mary is blessed like a God, Jesus told the woman blessed are they that hear the Word of God and keep it. Only the Lord Jesus who is the Word of God should be worshipped (not Mary). Luke 11:27 says And it came to pass, as He (Jesus) spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. But he (Jesus) said, Yea, rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

Catholic leaders believe in the perpetual virginity of Mary. This is a false belief because Mary had four other sons and daughters after the virgin birth of the Lord Jesus. The Lord Jesus had four brothers and sisters (at least two or more sisters). Mark 6:3 says Is not this the carpenter (Jesus), the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. Mary is not a perpetual virgin that should be worshipped like a God. Only worship the true God who is the Lord Jesus.

1 Timothy 2:5 says For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (not a pope or any Catholic priest). You don't have to confess your sins to a priest at a drive in Catholic confessional that says Toot and tell don't go to hell. Confess your sins to the Lord Jesus and the blood of Jesus will remove your sins. 1 John 1:9 says If we confess our sins, He (the Lord Jesus) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Learn About John Wycliffe And William Tyndale

They Translated The First Complete Bible In English

This Allowed The Common People To Read The Bible

That The Catholic Pope And Catholic Leaders Tried To Prevent

Jesus hates the doctrine of the Nicolaitans and the modern traditions of the Catholic church. The Greek definition for Nicolaitan is to conquer and have power over the people. Throughout history the leaders of the Catholic church and the pope did not allow the common people and the farmers have access to the bible. The pope and the leaders of the Catholic church were the Nicolaitans that Jesus hated. Jesus said at Revelation 2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. I don't hate Catholics. I believe many Catholics today are saved and are good people but I hate the false teachings from the leaders of the Catholic church. Most Catholics are ignorant of the doctrines taught by the Catholic leaders.

John Wycliffe rebelled against the pope and wrote the first English bible for the common people. In 1382 John Wycliffe produced the first full English translation of the bible that was handwritten and translated from the Latin Vulgate, not printed from original languages. During a period when access to the bible was restricted by Catholic leaders, those caught reading it faced severe penalties, potentially even the forfeiture of their property. It is said that the price some people paid for the privilege of renting a Wycliffe bible for an hour of daily reading was a bale of hay (a significant payment for a farmer living near subsistence levels). After John Wycliffe died, the pope burned his bones and cast them into the river.

The Catholic leaders wanted the common people to be ignorant about the bible in order to control the people and their money. This happened during the church of Thyatira where there was continual sacrifice to the pope and Mary by the Catholic Church during the Dark Ages that lasted for 1000 years from 500 AD to 1500 AD.

Then in 1526 William Tyndale became a blessed missionary and gave English bibles to thousands of common people in Europe. William Tyndale published the first English New Testament translated directly from the original Greek. He also translated and printed the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Old Testament) in 1530. In 1535 Miles Coverdale published the first complete printed English bible. Coverdale's version included the entire Old and New Testaments, largely incorporating Tyndale's existing translations to finish the project.

William Tyndale was executed for the heresy of translating the bible into English. At the time, the Catholic church and King Henry VIII strictly forbade unauthorized vernacular translations, fearing that direct access to scriptures would undermine clerical authority. Clerical authority refers to the power, jurisdiction, and influence that ordained religious Catholic leaders (clergy, bishops, priests, and deacons) hold within a religious Catholic organization to interpret doctrine, govern practices, and maintain organizational structure.

After being betrayed by an associate, Tyndale was imprisoned for over a year. In 1536 Tyndale was eventually strangled at the stake and then his body was burned in Vilvoorde, near modern day Brussels. The last words of William Tyndale were "Lord, open the king of England's eyes." Tyndale's prayer was a plea for King Henry VIII to change his mind and legally allow the English people to read the bible in their own language. Historical records often note that Tyndale's prayer was answered remarkably soon after his death.

In 1537 only one year after his execution, Henry VIII authorized the distribution of the Matthew Bible, that relied heavily on Tyndale's work. In 1539 Henry VIII decreed that a copy of the Great Bible (the first authorized English version) be placed in every parish church in England for all to read. It is estimated that 80-90% of the later 1611 King James Version is derived directly from Tyndale's pioneering translation.

Isaiah Chapter 18 Speaks About The Book Of Job

Isaiah chapter 18 speaks about the book of Job. Isaiah chapter 18 and the book of Job both speak about how the Lord Jesus has power over everything in nature. The Lord Jesus causes the flowers to bud, the herbs to heal, and the dew to refresh the earth every morning. Isaiah 18:4 says For so the Lord said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, He shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.

Job 38:25 says Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder; To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man; To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth? Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

The Lord Jesus Has Power Over Everything In Nature

Jesus Said Peace, Be Still And Calmed The Storms And The Winds

Mark 4:35 says And the same day, when the even was come, He (Jesus) saith unto them (the disciples), Let us pass over unto the other side. And when they had sent away the multitude, they took Him even as He was in the ship. And there were also with Him other little ships. And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

And He was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto Him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And He said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?

After Jesus said Peace be still to the storm, the raging waves laid down like sleeping dogs at Jesus' feet and the winds howling like maniacs began to whisper softly like babes in sleep. Also the dark clouds rolled back and curled away like a scroll in the sky, the birds began to sing, and the trees were waving Hallelujah on both sides of the banks of the Sea of Galilee.

Proverbs 30:4 says Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in His fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is His name, and what is His Son's name, if thou cast tell? Proverbs 30:4 tells us that the Lord Jesus hath gathered the wind in His fists. In other words Jesus can hold the wind fast in His fists or let the wind loose by just opening His fists. What a powerful God the Lord Jesus is who can stop a tornado or cyclone by just gathering the wind in his fists.

Isaiah Chapter 19 Speaks About The Book Of Psalms

Isaiah chapter 19 speaks about the book of Psalms. Isaiah chapter 19 and the book of Psalms both speak about peace during the millennium in the nations of Egypt, Assyria, and Israel after the Lord Jesus defeats the Assyrian beast antichrist at Armageddon. During the thousand year millennium after Jesus defeats the Assyrian beast Antichrist, wars on this earth will end and Egypt, Assyria, Israel, and all nations will be blessed with peace for 1000 years.

Isaiah 19:21-25 describes this blessing. And the Lord shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the Lord, and perform it. And the Lord shall smite Egypt: He shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the Lord, and He shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them. In that day shall there be a highway (of holiness) out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: Whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.

King Jesus will bring peace to this earth for 1000 years. Egypt, Assyria, and Israel will be at peace. The prophecy at Isaiah 2:4 will occur. And He (the Lord Jesus) shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

When the Lord Jesus is King of this earth during the millennium, every nation will have to keep the feast of tabernacles from year to year. If a nation does not come up to Jerusalem at Mount Zion once every year to worship King Jesus, that nation will be plagued with no rain and the Lord Jesus will smite these heathens.

Zechariah 14:16 says And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem (unsaved sinners that survived the tribulation who lived off the grid without taking the mark of the beast and went into the millennium) shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts (Jesus), and to keep the feast of tabernacles. And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

Psalm 116:8 speaks about how Egypt, Assyria, and Israel will have peace during the millennium if they keep the feast of tabernacles every year and worship the Lord Jesus at Jerusalem. For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. Psalm 116:14 says I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people. Psalm 116:17 says I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.

Isaiah Chapter 20 Speaks About The Book Of Proverbs

Isaiah chapter 20 speaks about the book of Proverbs. Isaiah chapter 20 and the book of Proverbs explain the difference between trusting in man and trusting in the Lord Jesus. God told Isaiah to walk naked and barefoot for three years as a sign of impending judgment and shame for Israel because the Jews trusted in earthly help from Egypt and Ethiopia instead of trusting in the Lord.

Isaiah 20:2 says At the same time spake the Lord by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. And the Lord said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia: So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt. And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory. And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape?

The book of Proverbs tells us to trust in the Lord Jesus instead of the worldly help of man in Egypt and Ethiopia. Proverbs 3:5 says Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel (calm your nerves), and marrow to thy bones (like a refreshing cup of cold water). Proverbs 3:23 says Then shalt thou walk in the way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble. When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

It's better to trust in the Lord Jesus than any earthly help from man. The very center verse of the KJV Bible is Psalm 118:8 that says It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It's amazing that only in a King James bible will you discover that the two middle words of the bible at Psalm 118:8 are the Lord. Also there are 594 chapters before Psalm 118 and there are 594 chapters after Psalm 118. 594+594=1188-Psalm 118:8 is the middle verse of the bible.

Isaiah's Miniature Bible Where Every Chapter Mentions A Book Of The Bible

Isaiah Chapter 13 Speaks About The Book Of 1 Chronicles

Isaiah chapter 13 speaks about the book of 1 Chronicles. Isaiah chapter 13 and the book of 1 Chronicles both speak about the Lord Jesus fighting our battles and always giving us the victory over the devil and this troubled world. Isaiah 13:11 says And I (the Lord Jesus) will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. Isaiah 13:14 says And it (the devil and any enemy) shall be as the chased roe (deer); and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.

Pictured above we see that the Lord Jesus fought the battle for King David when he passed over the Jordan river and Israel defeated the Syrians. 1 Chronicles 19:17 says And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him. But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.

Scriptures That Speak About The Christian's Victory

With The Lord Jesus Christians Overcome The Devil And This Troubled World

With the Lord Jesus, christians always overcome the devil and this troubled world. 1 Corinthians 15:57 says But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 2:14 says Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place. Romans 8:37 says Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. 1 John 4:4 says Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He (the Lord Jesus) that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1 John 5:4 says For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Psalm 55:22 says Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. Isaiah 54:17 says No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. Isaiah 59:19 says So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him (note that the Hebrew definition for standard is that the devil shall flee quickly and disappear). Matthew 12:20 says A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till He send forth judgment unto victory.

Matthew 19:26 says But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Jesus said at John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. If anyone gets saved, denies sin, and lives for Jesus, they can ask for anything in the name of Jesus and receive their prayer request. Whatever you need today, ask in the name of Jesus, and the Lord Jesus will give you victory over the devil and any sickness or trouble in this world.

Isaiah Chapter 14 Speaks About The Book Of 2 Chronicles

Isaiah chapter 14 speaks about the book of 2 Chronicles. Isaiah chapter 14 and the book of 2 Chronicles both speak about the powerful mighty hand of the Lord Jesus. Isaiah 14:27 says For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back? 2 Chronicles 20:6 says And said, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?

Isaiah chapter 14 and 2 Chronicles both speak about the death of king Ahaz. Isaiah 14:28 says In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden. Notice how the number 28 at Isaiah 14:28 corresponds to the 28th chapter of 2 Chronicles at 2 Chronicles 28:27 that says And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem: but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead. The book of Isaiah truly is a miniature bible.

Scriptures About The Powerful Mighty Hand Of The Lord Jesus

Job 40:9 says Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like Him? The prophet Isaiah answered Job's question by stating at Isaiah 59:1 Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save: neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear. The Lord Jesus said at Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Deuteronomy 33:27 says The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and He shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.

Isaiah 40:10 says Behold, the Lord God will come with strong hand, and His arm shall rule for Him: behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him. He shall feed His flock like a shepherd: He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. Deuteronomy 26:8 says And the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders.

Isaiah 51:9 says Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab (called a fierce proud people), and wounded the dragon (called the devil)? Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over? Rejoice and say Jeremiah 32:17 that tells us about the power of the Lord Jesus' arm to save us. Jeremiah 32:17 says Ah Lord God. behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.

Isaiah Chapter 15 Speaks About The Book Of Ezra

Isaiah chapter 15 speaks about the book of Ezra. Isaiah chapter 15 and the book of Ezra both speak about weeping, baldness, and beards cut off. Isaiah 15:2 says He has gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off. In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.

Ezra 9:3 says And when I heard this thing (Ezra heard that the people of Israel sinned), I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonied. Pictured above notice the congregation of Israel weeping while Ezra preached the Word of God. Ezra 10:1 says Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept very sore.

Scriptures That Tell Us How Jesus Wipes Away Our Tears

Psalm 30:5 says For His anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Revelation 7:17 says For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Revelation 21:4 says 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. The Lord Jesus said at Isaiah 65:19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in thy people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

Isaiah Chapter 16 Speaks About The Book Of Nehemiah

Isaiah chapter 16 speaks about the book of Nehemiah. Isaiah chapter 16 and the book of Nehemiah both speak about Nehemiah telling the Jewish leaders to stop oppressing the people of Israel, telling them to restore to the people an hundredth part of money, corn, wine, oil, and vineyards. Pictured above we see how the Jewish leaders oppressed the people of Israel. Isaiah 16:10 says And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses; I have made their vintage shouting to cease.

Nehemiah 5:3 also tells us how the Jewish leaders oppressed the people of Israel. Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth. Nehemiah 5:11 says Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them.

Nehemiah told the Jewish nobles and leaders to stop taking advantage of their fellow Jews. Nehemiah rebuked the wealthy elites who had been exploiting their own people, taking their lands, vineyards, oliveyards, and houses, demanding exorbitant payments from them. Nehemiah said that these unjust practices must stop immediately. Nehemiah requested the wealthy elites to return to the Jewish people the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, signifying a restitution and repayment for the exploitation and extortion that had taken place.

Isaiah's Miniature Bible Where Every Chapter Mentions A Book Of The Bible

Isaiah Chapter 9 Speaks About The Book Of 1 Samuel

Isaiah chapter 9 speaks about the book of 1 Samuel. Isaiah chapter 9 and the book of 1 Samuel both speak about how King David recovered all that the Amalekites had stolen from him at Ziklag when the Amalekites were rejoicing over the great spoil. Isaiah 9:3 says Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy (even though the Amalekites stole David's wives, sons, and riches, they had no joy because David recovered all and defeated the Amalekites): they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.

1 Samuel 30:11 describes how David recovered all that the Amalekites had stolen from him because David was kind to an Egyptian beggar. And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water; And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights. And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick. We made an invasion upon the south of the Cherithites, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.

And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company. Pictured above, And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah. And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled. And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives. And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.

God told King David to pursue, overtake, and recover all that the Amalekites had stolen. Notice that because David was kind and blessed an Egyptian beggar with bread, figs, raisins, and water, that very same Egyptian beggar helped David find the Amalekite camp and recover everything that the Amalekites stole from David at Ziklag. Remember that the poor person you help might save your life some day. We all are one family and need each other.

Like David, bless the poor around you with food, clothes, and money to help them survive and overcome this troubled world. The Lord Jesus will bless you for your kindness and take care of you. Most people in this world today won't help anyone and walk by people suffering in this world. The Lord Jesus wants us to be like the good Samaritan who helped a man that was wounded by thieves on the Jericho road. After a priest and Levite would not help the wounded man, the good Samaritan according to Luke10:34 went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. The Lord Jesus told us to be like this good Samaritan and Go, and do thou likewise.

Like King David, Get Saved And Overcome This Troubled World

Get Saved, Repent, Decide To Stop Sinning,

Confess That Jesus Is God, And Believe The Gospel

That Jesus Died On The Cross For You, Was Buried, And Rose Again

Isaiah Chapter 10 Speaks About The Book Of 2 Samuel

Isaiah chapter 10 speaks about the book of 2 Samuel. Isaiah chapter 10 and the book of 2 Samuel both tell us that when any nation fights against Israel, that nation fights against God. Isaiah 10:17 says And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and His Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers (nations that fight against Israel) in one day. 2 Samuel 23:4 says And He (the God of Israel who is Jesus) shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain. 2 Samuel 23:6 says But the sons of Belial (any wicked nation that fights against Israel) shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they can not be taken with hands: But the men that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place.

Remember Anyone That Blesses Israel Will Be Blessed

And Anyone The Curses Israel Will Be Cursed

Every country that blesses Israel and the Jews gets blessed and every country that curses Israel and the Jews gets cursed. God told Abraham he would make a great nation called Israel from him and then said at Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee (Israel), and curse him that curseth thee (Israel): and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Numbers 24:5 speaks about Israel saying How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel. As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the tree of lign aloes (wood of aloes) which the Lord hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.

He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted. God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows. He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee. If you bless Israel and the Jews, you will be blessed; If you curse Israel and the Jews, you will be cursed.

Psalm 122:6 says Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. This is why America who has helped Israel for many years has been greatly blessed. What a blessing that President Trump recognized the capital of Israel to be Jerusalem. President Donald Trump ordered the relocation of the American diplomatic mission to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, constituting what is now the Embassy of the United States in Jerusalem. Note that God will destroy the nations that hate and curse Israel. Zechariah 12:3 says And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

The Lord Jesus will fulfill His covenant with Abraham and establish the boundaries of Israel from the river of Egypt unto the great river Euphrates (including Gaza and the West Bank). Genesis 15:18 explains God's covenant to Abraham and the Jews involving a land grant to Israel. In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates. Genesis 17:8 says that this land grant to the Jews is for an everlasting possession. And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

Per God's covenant, Israel doesn't just occupy Gaza and the West Bank. Israel owns all the land from Egypt to the Euphrates river in Iraq including Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emerites, Yemen, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Gaza, and the West Bank. Per God's covenant with Abraham, the Jews, and Israel, Israel doesn't just occupy this land. Israel owns this land. Therefore when any nation fights against Israel, they fight against God and will lose. Zechariah 12:9 says And it shall come to pass in that day, that I (the Lord Jesus) will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. All the christians will soon rule and reign with our Lord Jesus in Jerusalem during the kingdom of heaven on this earth.

Isaiah Chapter 11 Speaks About The Book Of 1 Kings

Isaiah chapter 11 speaks about the book of 1 Kings. Isaiah chapter 11 and the book of 1 Kings both speak about the wisdom of Solomon. Isaiah 11:2 says And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord (these are the seven spirits of God that are before the throne of God); And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

1 Kings 3:9 says Give therefore thy servant (Solomon) an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad. for who is able to judge this thy so great a people. 1 Kings 3:11 says And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and has not asked for long life, neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment, behold I have done according to thy words, lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart, so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.

Be like Solomon and ask God for wisdom who is the Lord Jesus. 1 Corinthians 1:30 tells us that the Lord Jesus who is the Word of God is wisdom. But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. Therefore the more you study the Word of God and seek the Lord Jesus by saying I am crucified with Jesus Christ seeing all your problems destroyed for ever on the cross of Calvary, the wiser you will become. According to Proverbs 3:13-17 when you receive by faith wisdom who is the Lord Jesus, Jesus and the Word of God will be better to you than silver, gold, rubies or anything you could desire. The Lord Jesus will give you length of days with riches and honour, and pleasantness with peace for ever.

Isaiah Chapter 12 Speaks About The Book Of 2 Kings

Isaiah chapter 12 speaks about the book of 2 Kings. Isaiah chapter 12 and the book of 2 Kings both speak about the exalted name above all names called Jesus. Isaiah 12:4 says And in that day shall ye say, Praise the Lord (Jesus), call upon His name, declare His doings among the people, make mention that His name is exalted. Philippians 2:9 says Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth (even the devil will bow forever to the name of Jesus); And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

2 Kings 21:4 says And he (Manasseh) built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord said, In Jerusalem will I put my name. 2 Kings 21:7 says And he (Manasseh) set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which the Lord said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, an in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever.

Brother Bob's Testimony About The Name Above All Names Called Jesus

The name of Jesus is so powerful that according to Mark 16:17, the name of Jesus will cast out devils. Brother Bob needs to give you all a blessed testimony about the name of Jesus. Forty years ago almost every week someone was breaking into my apartment and car and stealing things. Jesus told me to do what Mark 16:17 said and write on a piece of paper in bold black letters JESUS to make the devil flee because the devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy. The Word of God is true. For forty years I've always put the name of JESUS on the outside door of my apartment and in my car I've always had an I LOVE JESUS air freshener, and for forty years nothing has been stolen or taken from my apartment or car except a bible that a thief who got convicted after he broke into my 1995 Toyota Tercel stole. I got so happy I wrote the name JESUS over my bed, on the bedroom door, bathroom door, on the kitchen wall, on the refrigerator and freezer, and on my cellphone and computer and I've really had a blessed apartment. Hallelujah thank you Father for naming your son JESUS.

Proverbs 18:10 Says The Name Of The Lord (Jesus) Is A Strong Tower

The Righteous Runneth Into It, And Is Safe

The Unholy Obelisk Altar Of Baal And The Grove Christmas Tree

Before St. Peter's Basilica Church At The Vatican In Rome, Italy

Manasseh eventually became a blessed king when he repented for placing an altar with graven images of the grove in the house of God. Note that a grove is unholy trees or poles set up next to an altar that worships Baal. The Catholic church and the pope in the Vatican that represents the future beast antichrist also practices idolatry and worships Baal by setting up an obelisk altar with a grove christmas tree by the obelisk altar at the Vatican before St. Peter's Basilica that you can see in the picture above. St Peter's Basilica is the largest church in the world and a major Catholic holy site located in the Vatican city, believed to mark the burial site of St. Peter, one of Jesus' apostles.

Jeremiah 10:2 tells us that we should not set up a christmas tree and learn the pagan customs of the Catholic church. Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They are upright as the palm tree (note that Egyptians used to use palm trees to celebrate Christmas), but speak not: they must needs be borne (christmas trees have to be carried into homes and people should not get under a christmas tree and worship this grove idol), because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

It's interesting that translated bibles like the NIV, ESV, Amplified bible, and RSV have changed the word palm tree at Jeremiah 10:5 to scarecrow in a melon patch or scarecrow in a cucumber field. These translated bibles want to hide the truth that it is wrong to set up a christmas palm tree and worship the unholy grove christmas tree. Please realize that you shouldn't read a bible that talks about a scarecrow in a melon patch or a cucumber field. This is why people should only study and read a blessed 1611 King James Version bible.

Gideon was blessed when he tore down his father's altar to Baal and the grove trees by it, refusing to worship the grove unholy (christmas) trees that were beside the altar of Baal. Judges 6:25 says And it came to pass the same night, that the Lord said unto him (Gideon), Take the father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it: And build an altar unto the Lord thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.

Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the Lord had said unto him: and so it was, because he feared his father's household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night. And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built.

Manasseh got blessed after he repented for placing a grove christmas tree in the house of God. Manasseh was a wicked king who caused his own children to pass through the fire, used enchantments, and worked with witches and wizards. But after Manasseh humbled himself when he was bound with fetters (chains), the Lord Jesus blessed Manasseh to become king again. It pays to be humble and fear God. 2 Chronicles 33:6 says And he (Manasseh) caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger.

2 Chronicles 33:11 says Wherefore the Lord brought upon them the captains of the host of the King of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon. And when he was in affliction, he besought the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, And prayed unto Him: and he was intreated of Him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord He was God. 2 Chronicles 33:15 says And he (Manasseh) took away the strange gods, and the idol (with the grove christmas tree) out of the house of the Lord (be like Manasseh and don't place a christmas tree in a church or any house of God), and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city. Manasseh removed the christmas tree and got blessed.

Two More Unholy Obelisk Altars Of Baal With Grove Christmas Trees Exist

1) The Washington Monument In Washington DC With A Christmas Tree

2) Cleopatra's Needle In London, England Surrounded By Christmas Trees

Pictured above notice two more unholy obelisk altars of Baal surrounded by grove Christmas trees. The Washington Monument in Washington DC has a fenced in Christmas tree beside it. Cleopatra's Needle in London, England is surrounded by grove Christmas trees. People today continue to build obelisk altars to Baal surrounded by Christmas trees.

The Catholic great whore beast antichrist church promotes worship to Baal with obelisk altars and Christmas trees at St. Peter's Basilica and the Washington Monument. In America in 1854 The Know Nothing Party was a group opposed to immigrants and Catholics coming to America. America was Protestant and opposed to Catholic immigration to America. Pope Pius IX donated a black marble block from the ruins of the Temple of Concord in Rome, Italy to the Washington Monument with the inscription "A Roma Americae" (From Rome to America). In March of 1854 a group of Know Nothings broke into the shed where the Pope's stone was stored. They tied up the night watchman, stole the marble block, and hurled it into the Potomac River. Pope Pius IX's unholy stone has never been recovered.

The Know Nothings seized control of the Washington National Monument Society, leading Congress to withdraw its financial support for the Washington Monument, which halted construction. The Know Nothing Party, though influential for a time, eventually became a historical footnote. The Catholic church eventually became the false religion of America and the Pope's dream to control America by Catholic immigration became a reality. Pope John Paul II donated a replacement stone with the inscription "A Roma Americae" (From Rome to America) for the Washington Monument in 1982. It is now located in the Washington Monument at the 340 foot level, on the inside west wall of the stairway.

Lot's Wife, Samson's 300 Foxes, Mahershalalhashbaz, Ruth And Boaz From Isaiah's Miniature Bible

Isaiah's Miniature Bible Where Every Chapter Mentions A Book Of The Bible

Isaiah Chapter 1 Speaks About The Book Of Genesis

Isaiah chapter 1 speaks about the book of Genesis. Isaiah chapter 1 and the book of Genesis both speak about God creating the heavens and the earth where Adam and Eve rebelled against God when they ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Isaiah 1:2 says Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider. Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

Genesis 2:1 says Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. Genesis 2:16 says And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Genesis 3:6 says And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

Isaiah chapter 1 and the book of Genesis both speak about Sodom and Gomorrah that was destroyed. Lot and his two daughters escaped to safety. But Lot's wife looked back at Sodom and Gomorrah and turned into a pillar of salt. Isaiah 1:9 says Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

Genesis 19:24 says Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven; And He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. But his (Lot's) wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. Notice how the number 19 at Isaiah 1:9 corresponds to the 19th chapter of Genesis at Genesis 19:24. Here's a blessed riddle to tell everyone. Who is the only woman in the bible that is not named, died, was not buried, you can find her graveclothes in the grocery store, and the Lord Jesus said to remember her? The answer is Lot's wife. You can find the graveclothes for Lot's wife (a pillar of salt) in the grocery store and Jesus said at Luke 17:32 Remember Lot's wife.

Isaiah Chapter 2 Speaks About The Book Of Exodus

Isaiah chapter 2 speaks about the book of Exodus. Isaiah chapter 2 and the book of Exodus both speak about Moses and people entering into the cleft of the rocks for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty, when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth. Isaiah 2:10 says Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty. Isaiah 2:19 says And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty, when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth. Isaiah 2:21 says To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty, when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

Exodus 33:22 says And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts; but my face shall not be seen. Note that during the great tribulation, people will hide themselves in dens and in the rocks of the mountains from the great wrath of God.

Revelation 6:15 says And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb (the Lord Jesus): For the great day of His wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Escape This Troubled World And The Great Tribulation

Get Saved, Repent, Decide To Stop Sinning,

Confess That Jesus Is God, And Believe The Gospel

That Jesus Died On The Cross For You, Was Buried, And Rose Again

Isaiah chapter 2 and the book of Exodus both tell us not to make gods (idols) of silver or gold. Isaiah 2:20 says In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats. Exodus 20:23 says Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold. Notice how the number 20 at Isaiah 2:20 corresponds to the 20th chapter of Exodus at Exodus 20:23.

Isaiah Chapter 3 Speaks About The Book Of Leviticus

Isaiah chapter 3 speaks about the book of Leviticus. Isaiah chapter 3 and the book of Leviticus both mention that God will take away the stay (support) and the staff (support) of bread where the people will eat bread and not be satisfied. Isaiah 3:1 says For, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water. The first picture above represents Isaiah 3:1 where the bread has been removed from Jerusalem and placed outside of the gates of Jerusalem.

Leviticus 26:26 says And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight, and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. The second picture above represents Leviticus 26:26 where ten women have baked bread in one oven that when eaten shall not satisfy the people.

Isaiah chapter 3 and the book of Leviticus both tell people not to glean or gather leftover grapes from a vineyard. Instead the leftover grapes should be given to the poor and to the stranger. Isaiah 3:14 says The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses. Leviticus 19:10 says And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the Lord your God.

Isaiah Chapter 4 Speaks About The Book Of Numbers

Isaiah chapter 4 speaks about the book of Numbers. Isaiah chapter 4 and the book of Numbers both speak about God being a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night to guide the Jews to safety. Isaiah 4:5 says And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.

Numbers 9:16 says So it was alway: the cloud covered it (the tabernacle) by day, and the appearance of fire by night. And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed; and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.

Numbers 14:14 says And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou Lord art among this people, that thou Lord art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.

Isaiah chapter 4 and the book of Numbers both speak about God's judgment by a burning fire to punish the sins of the people. Isaiah 4:4 says When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. Numbers 11:1 says And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and His anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.

Isaiah Chapter 5 Speaks About The Book Of Deuteronomy

Isaiah chapter 5 speaks about the book of Deuteronomy. Isaiah chapter 5 and the book of Deuteronomy both speak about nations swiftly coming from far away to punish the Jews in Israel because of their sins. Isaiah 5:26 says And He will lift up an ensign (signal) to the nations from far, and will hiss (signal) unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly. Deuteronomy 28:49 says The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as a the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand.

Isaiah chapter 5 and the book of Deuteronomy both speak about a vineyard where the grapes are wild, bitter, and worthless. Isaiah 5:1 says Now will I sing to my well beloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My well beloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. Deuteronomy 32:32 says For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall (poisonous hemlock), their clusters are bitter (bringing forth wild, worthless grapes).

Isaiah Chapter 6 Speaks About The Book Of Joshua

Isaiah chapter 6 speaks about the book of Joshua. Isaiah chapter 6 and the book of Joshua both speak about witnessing the Lord Jesus everywhere and winning souls to the Lord Jesus for the kingdom of God. Isaiah 6:8 says Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. Joshua 1:16 says And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go. Like Isaiah and Joshua, tell the Lord Jesus, Here am I; send me, and I'll witness the Lord Jesus everywhere.

To give your life purpose and meaning, witness the Lord Jesus everywhere. Tell people everywhere get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. Jesus said at Mark 16:15 Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Proverbs 11:30 says The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. Jude 22 says And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Jesus said at Luke 14:23 Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

Isaiah chapter 6 and the book of Joshua both speak about God's commandment to utterly destroy the devil and his followers where nothing from the devil is left remaining. Joshua fully obeyed God's command where Joshua destroyed all the wicked inhabitants of Jericho except Rahab the harlot and those in her house that served and feared God. Rahab survived and became one of the great grandmothers to the Lord Jesus where her son Boaz married Ruth who had a son named Obed who had a son named Jesse who had a son named King David.

Isaiah 6:11 says Then said I, Lord, how long? And He answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate. Joshua 11:11 says And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire. Joshua 11:14 says And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded. Notice how the number 11 at Isaiah 6:11 corresponds to the 11th chapter of the book of Joshua at Joshua 11:11. These mathematical revelations about the bible are incredible.

Isaiah Chapter 7 Speaks About The Book Of Judges

Isaiah chapter 7 speaks about the book of Judges. Isaiah chapter 7 and the book of Judges both speak about firebrands and tails of foxes. Isaiah called the two kings that fought against Ahaz in Judah (Rezin of Syria and Pekah, the son of Ramaliah of Israel) two foxes with two tails of smoking firebrands. Because the father of Samson's wife gave Samson's wife to another man, Samson placed firebrands on the tails of 300 foxes that burnt the shocks (stacks) of corn and the vineyards of the Philistines.

Isaiah 7:4 says And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with the Syria, and of the son of Remaliah (Pekah with Israel). Judges 15:4 says And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands (torches), and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails. And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.

Isaiah Chapter 8 Speaks About The Book Of Ruth

Isaiah chapter 8 speaks about the book of Ruth. Isaiah chapter 8 and the book of Ruth both speak about witnesses that saw a Jewish man with a Gentile bride having a son. Isaiah and a prophetess had a son named Mahershalalhashbaz. Boaz and Ruth the Moabitess had a son named Obed.

Isaiah 8:1 says Moreover the Lord said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz. And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah. And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the Lord to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.

The Hebrew definition for Mahershalalhashbaz is "Quickly to the spoil while he hurries to the plunder" and was a symbolic message that God would swiftly defeat the northern kingdoms of Israel and Syria with the Assyrian army. This event served as a warning to Judah to trust God rather than relying on political alliances and the help of the Assyrian king named Tilgath-pilnesar. The name Mahershalalhashbaz warned Judah and king Ahaz about God's sovereignty and the certainty of His impending judgment on the unfaithful.

Ruth 4:11 says And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The Lord make the woman (Ruth) that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem. Ruth 4:13 says So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the Lord gave her conception, and she bare a son (Obed).

When Boaz watched Ruth glean in his field, Boaz wanted to marry Ruth and loved Ruth. But before Boaz could marry Ruth, according to the law, Boaz had to redeem and buy the field where Ruth lived. Boaz told Ruth if you'll marry me then I'll just buy the field where you live. Then Boaz said Oh no, there's one more person closer to your family than I am.

Pictured above we see what occurred when Boaz met the relative who was closer to Ruth's family than Boaz. Boaz told this relative if you redeem and buy Naomi's property, you also have to marry that Moabite woman named Ruth. Boaz made it seem that Ruth was ugly saying to the relative you'll have to marry her, you'll have to marry her, when all the time Boaz wanted to marry Ruth. This is stated at Ruth 4:5 that says Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. After hearing this, the closer relative said I can't redeem the field because it would mar my property.

Boaz said all right then lets make an agreement. Everybody gather around. We're going to make a covenant. Let me buy Ruth's property, you relinquish your rights to it, you relinquish your rights to Ruth, you relinquish your rights to the field, and I'll buy it. The relative accepted the agreement and Boaz redeemed and bought Ruth's property and became Ruth's husband and kinsman redeemer.

Pictured above the relative took off his shoe and gave it to Boaz. That's the way they completed a sale of property in those days. In other words the relative told Boaz I have no more right to walk on your property. It's your property and I have to ask your permission to walk on it or you can tell me "No trespassing barefoot."

Revelations About 666

You might ask Why should we learn about the beast antichrist's number 666? Revelation 13:18 tells us to have wisdom and understanding, we need to count the number of the beast that is 666. When anyone learns about 666 in the bible, they will not be deceived by the beast antichrist and escape the great tribulation to be caught up to the Lord Jesus during the rapture. Therefore Brother Bob will discuss the many times that the number 666 is mentioned or relates to the 1611 KJV bible.

The reason the bible speaks so much about the beast antichrist and the seven year great tribulation is to let christians realize that the rapture is soon to happen. When anyone sees wars, rumours of wars, famines, earthquakes, and pestilences, they need to get saved and watch for the rapture. Luke 21:28 says And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads for your redemption drawth nigh. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again.

There Are Only Three Men Associated With The Number 666 In The Bible

Solomon, Adonikam, And The Beast Antichrist

The most notorious number in the bible is the infamous evil 666. In most cases the number 666 relates to evil and wickedness. The number 666 speaks about the number of the beast or that antichrist as he is called in 1 John 2:18. Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. Let's study the three men associated with the number 666 who are Solomon, Adonikam, and the beast antichrist.

At first Solomon was a blessed king and was the wisest man on earth. But ungodly women caused Solomon to worship idols and become evil like an antichrist. Solomon received 666 talents of gold. At 1 Kings 10:14 (1+1+4=6), 666 is mentioned. Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold. 2 Chronicles 9:13 says Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold The 666 talents of gold displayed Solomon's rebellious sin of multiplying gold stated at Deuteronomy 17:17. Neither shall he multiply wives to himself (Solomon, truly a ladies man, sinned by having 700 wives and 300 concubines noted at 1 Kings 11:3), that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

Adonikam had 666 children (descendants) that left Babylon to live in Jerusalem. At Ezra 2:13 (2+1+3=6), 666 is mentioned. The children of Adonikam (called The Lord of the Rebellion, The Lord of Enemies, or the Lord Rise Up-a type of Antichrist), six hundred sixty and six. Note that 93 years later, the children (descendants) of Adonikam changed to 667. This is not a contradiction in the bible. This is because after 93 years, some of Adonikam's children either were born or died. Nehemiah 7:18 says The children of Adonikam, six hundred threescore and seven.

Finally the beast antichrist's name and number is 666. Revelation 13:18 says Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. God wants us to have wisdom and understanding by counting the number of the beast that is 666.

Revelations About 666 From Ecclesiastes Chapter 7

Ecclesiastes Chapter 7 Is The 666th Chapter Of The Bible

God tells us to count the number 666 and learn blessed mysteries from the KJV bible. The KJV bible is perfect, infallible, inerrant, and displays 666 many times to reveal blessed revelations. Let's learn about a blessed revelation from Ecclesiastes Chapter 7 that is the 666th chapter of the KJV bible.

Ecclesiastes 7:25 says I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness: And I find more bitter than death the woman (the great whore Catholic church), whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinners shall be taken by her.

The 666th Chapter of the KJV bible at Ecclesiastes 7:25 is warning us about the future beast antichrist who will be the woman called the great whore Catholic Vatican church from Rome, Italy. When we learn about the wickedness of the Catholic leaders' doctrines, we will escape the beast antichrist and the great tribulation.

Note that Brother Bob does not hate Catholic people. There are many blessed saved Catholic people. Brother Bob speaks out against the false teachings from the leaders of the Catholic church. Revelation 17:1 describes this future great whore Catholic church. And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore (Catholic church) that sitteth upon many waters.

Revelation 17:3 says So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. Note that the devil imitates the Lord Jesus. The saved christians are called the bride church and a city (New Jerusalem) that sits upon the foundation (the Lord Jesus). The devil's city is called the great whore (Mystery Babylon or Rome) that sits on the beast antichrist. Note that Revelation 17:18 tells us that the woman (great whore) is a city called Rome, Italy (the Vatican). And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Note that the seven heads on the great whore woman are seven mountains. The only city on earth with seven hills or mountains is Rome, Italy. Revelation 17:9 says And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. Therefore the future beast antichrist will be the Catholic church and the pope ruling with a one world religion from the Vatican at Rome, Italy.

Note that the word Catholic means universal one world religion. Revelation 17:5 tells us the name of the future beast antichrist. And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Note that the Catholic great whore church is called the mother of harlots. This is because all the religions that came out of Catholicism (Protestants, Lutherans, Episcopalians etc.) will eventually return to their mother that is Catholicism and form the one world religion for the beast antichrist during the seven year great tribulation. During the great tribulation there will be a one world religion, a one world military, and a one world currency. When the Catholics are in the minority they are gentle as a lamb. When the Catholics are in equality they are clever as a fox. But when the Catholics are in the majority they are fierce as a tiger.

The universal Catholic church can not unify people. Only the Lord Jesus can unify and bring people together in peace today and during the millennium when the Lord Jesus is king of this earth for 1000 years. Jesus said at John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. The Lord Jesus was lifted up on a cross at Calvary and only when anyone preaches about Jesus Christ crucified where the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin, will people come together in peace forever. 1 Corinthians 1:18 says For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it (the cross of Calvary) is the power of God.

The First Mention Of Jehoiakim Is In The 666th Verse Of 2 Kings

The first mention of Jehoiakim is in the 666th verse of 2 Kings. Jehoiakim was evil like an antichrist and burned the Word of God. 2 Kings 23:34 says And Pharoah-necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away: and he came to Egypt, and died there. The number 666 relates to wicked king Jehoiakim who cut the Word of God with a penknife and cast it into the fire on the hearth. Jeremiah 36:22 says Now the king (Jehoiakim) sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him. And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.

Because Jehoiakim burned the Word of God, he was blotted out of the Lord Jesus' genealogy. In other words Don't mess with the KJV Word of God. Matthew 1:10 says And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias. And Josias begat Jechonias ( Coniah) (note that Jehoikaim has been removed from Jesus' genealogy) and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon.

It's dangerous to alter the perfect KJV bible and disrespect God's perfect Word. Note the punishment that Jehoiakim received for burning the Word of God. Jeremiah 36:29 says And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith the Lord; Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast? Therefore thus saith the Lord of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.

And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they hearkened not. Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides unto them many like words.

Because Jehoiakim burned the bible, Jehoiakim was buried with the burial of an ass. Jeremiah 22:18 says Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother. or, Ah sister. they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord. or, Ah his glory. He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.

The History Of King Jehoahaz And King Jehoiakim

Following the death of King Josiah in battle against Pharaoh-nechoh (Neco) at Megiddo, Judah fell under Egyptian control. The people had initially made Josiah's younger son, Jehoahaz (also called Shallum) king, but Neco, on his return from his military campaign, deposed (removed from power) Jehoahaz. Neco installed Eliakim, Jehoahaz's older brother, as the new puppet king. This act demonstrated that the king of Judah now ruled by permission of the Egyptian Pharaoh. Neco changed Eliakim's name to Jehoiakim. In the ancient near East, renaming someone was a clear sign of power and an assertion of authority over that person.

After Neco deposed and put Jehoahaz (Shallum) in prison at Riblah, Shallum was exiled to Egypt as a prisoner where he subsequently died. This fulfilled Jeremiah's prophecy that Shallum would go into captivity and never return to his homeland. Jeremiah 22:10 says Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him; but weep sore for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country. For thus saith the Lord touching Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more: But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.

Neco deposed Johoahaz for political reasons, primarily to install a more compliant ruler in Judah who would ensure Egyptian control of the region and secure a buffer zone against the rising Babylonian empire. Judah had become an Egyptian vassal state after Neco defeated King Josiah at the battle of Megiddo. The people of Judah made Jehoahaz king without Neco's approval, which was likely seen as an act of defiance and a challenge to Egyptian sovereignty.

Jehoahaz likely held anti Egyptian sentiments, reflecting his father Josiah's fatal opposition to Neco. Neco needed a stable and loyal client state as he prepared to confront Babylon for regional dominance. Neco imposed a heavy tax (tribute) on Judah. By installing his own puppet king, Eliakim (renamed Jehoiakim), Neco ensured the rapid and reliable collection of these vital resources needed for his military campaigns. By removing Jehoahaz from power and taking him captive to Egypt, Neco eliminated a potential focal point for rebellion and stabilized the political situation in the region while his main forces were operating north against Babylon. In summary, Neco's actions were driven by the strategic necessity of consolidating power over a crucial corrider state in the complex power struggle between the major empires of the time (Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon).

After Jehoiakim ruled Judah as an Egyptian vassal, Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon defeated Egypt at the Battle of Carchemish in 605 BC. Jehoiakim then changed his allegiance to Babylon and served Nebuchadnezzar for three years. After three years, possibly encouraged by an unsuccessful Babylonian invasion of Egypt, Jehoiakim rebelled against Babylon. 2 Chronicles 36:6 says Against him (Jehoiakim) came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.

Jewish historian Josephus said that Nebuchadnezzar had Jehoiakim killed and his body thrown over the city walls during Babylon's siege of Jerusalem. This fulfilled the prophecy of Jeremiah 22:18 that Jehoiakim would be buried with the burial of an ass where his body would be cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem. Jehoiakim died before the main Babylonian army fully conquered Jerusalem. His son Jehoiachin (also called Jeconiah or Coniah) took over but surrendered to Nebuchadnezzar after just three months and was taken to Babylon in the first major wave of exile.

Summary About Pharaoh-nechoh, Jehoahaz, And Jehoiakim

The summary about Pharaoh-nechoh, Jehoahaz, And Jehoiakim is found at 2 Kings 23:29. In his days Pharaoh-nechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him. And his servants carried him (Josiah) in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's stead. Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.

And Pharaoh-nechoh put him in bands (prison) at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute (tax) of an hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold. And Pharaoh-nechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away: and he (Jehoahaz) came to Egypt, and died there.

And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh; he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to the taxation, to give it unto Pharaoh-nechoh. Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.

The 666th Mention Of The Word Jesus Occurs At Acts 13:6

When Bar-jesus Is Mentioned

The 666th time the word Jesus appears in the KJV bible occurs at Acts 13:6 (thirteen being the number of rebellion) when Bar-jesus is mentioned. Note that this is the only time in a KJV bible that the name Jesus is in lowercase letters (jesus). Bar-jesus or Elymas the sorcerer, (a type of antichrist), withstood Paul and tried to stop the salvation of Sergius Paulus, the deputy on the isle of Paphos. Bar-jesus (Elymas) suffered and became blind because he withstood Paul and God's Word. But Sergius Paulus got blessed and saved because he stood with Paul. Take time to look at the anointed painting pictured above by Raphael that shows Paul pointing to blind Bar-jesus (Elymas) while Sergius Paulus gets saved while sitting on his throne.

Acts 13:6 explains how Bar-jesus (Elymas) withstood Paul while Sergius Paulus got saved. And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos (boiling hot), they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus; Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the Word of God. But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. Then Saul (who is also called Paul), filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him. And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

The reason Bar-jesus appears at the 666th mention of the word jesus is because Bar-jesus is a type of the antichrist. It's interesting that Paphos is where Paul found the sorcerer Bar-jesus. The Greek definition for Paphos is boiling hot because the beast antichrist will be cast into the boiling hot lake of fire with the false prophet by the Lord Jesus Christ at the battle of Armageddon.

Note that the devil imitates the Lord Jesus who has many blessed names like Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, and The Prince of Peace. Bar-jesus had another name called Elymas. The true meaning of the name Elymas is El-God Y-The Most High Mass-The unholy Catholic Eucharist Mass. In other words Bar-jesus (Elymas) represents the antichrist who will make the Catholic Mass a God instead of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Catholic antichrist church also exalts the unholy Mass with the word Christ-Mass. And then the Catholic church removes the name of Jesus Christ from the pagan holiday of Christmas and calls the pagan holiday XMass, placing an X over the name of Jesus Christ.

Why The Eucharist Transubstantiation Mass Is An Unholy Ceremony

The Eucharist Transubstantiation Mass is unholy and evil. Transubstantiation is the Catholic teaching that the bread and wine used in the Eucharist (Communion ceremony) miraculously transforms into the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ, while their outward appearances remain unchanged. This transformation occurs during the Eucharist prayer through the power of Christ's words and the Holy Spirit, making Christ truly and physically present in the sacrament (a sacred ritual that symbolizes and confers God's grace to believers).

When Catholic priests place a wafer on children's tongues during the Eucharist Transubstantiation Mass, they place a tray under the chin of the child to prevent the body of the Lord Jesus from falling to the floor. The Catholic priests tell children that the wafer is the physically present body of Jesus and the wine is the physically present blood of Jesus. The Eucharist Transubstantiation Mass is an unholy ceremony that misrepresents the blessed Communion ceremony. Communion is a blessed ceremony for remembrance of the Lord Jesus' death on the cross of Calvary.

Communion should be a symbolic memorial remembering the Lord Jesus instead of making the Lord Jesus physically present during an unholy Eucharist Transubstantiation Mass ceremony. Luke 22:19 says And He (Jesus) took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

The reason the Eucharist Transubstantiation Mass Sacrament is unholy and evil is because the ceremony recrucifies the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ only had to be crucified one time at the cross of Calvary to remove lost sinners sins forever. Jesus does not have to be crucified innumerable times during unholy Eucharist Mass ceremonies to remove sins. Hebrews 10:10 says By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once (not many times) for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices (performed in an unholy Catholic Eucharist Mass), which can never take away sins: But this man (Jesus), after He had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till His enemies be made His footstool. For by one offering He hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

Just confess your sins to the Lord Jesus (not a Catholic priest in a confessional booth) and the blood of Jesus will cleanse you from your sins and set you free. 1 John 1:7 says But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He (the Lord Jesus and not a Catholic priest) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. You don't have to confess your sins to a Catholic priest at a drive through confessional where the sign says Toot and tell; Don't go to hell. 1 Timothy 2:5 says For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (not a Catholic priest in a confessional booth).

Studying Four Bible Verses With The Words Here Is Wisdom

To Learn About The Beast Antichrist And 666

The first three words at Revelation 13:18 that describe the beast antichrist are Here is wisdom. Revelation 13:18 says Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore and six. The words Here is wisdom appear in four bible verses that I will list to receive wisdom and learn that the Catholic Vatican unholy church represents the beast antichrist. The four bible verses with the words Here is wisdom are Revelation 13:18, Matthew 12:42, Revelation 17:9, and Luke 11:31.

Matthew 12:42 (that represents the Jews in the tribulation persecuted by the Catholic antichrist church because 12 is the number for Jews and 42 is the number for 42 months or 3 1/2 years of tribulation) says The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold a greater than Solomon is here. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return unto my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

Notice that when one unclean spirit leaves a man who remains empty, swept, and garnished, seven other spirits more wicked enter in and dwell there. Therefore we see that the number 1 and 7 lead us to the next Here is wisdom bible verse at Revelation 17:9 to describe the beast antichrist. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. Earlier in this bible study we learned about wisdom and who the beast antichrist is. Here is wisdom. The beast antichrist is a city called Mystery Babylon Rome, Italy with the Vatican who is the Catholic church and the pope that sits on seven hills.

Note that the last Here is wisdom bible verse also speaks about the beast antichrist's persecution of the Jews during the tribulation at Luke 11:31 where 11+31=42 months or 3 1/2 years of tribulation. The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here (Jesus).

Why The Beast Antichrists Number Is Six Hundred Threescore And Six

Instead of Six Hundred Sixty And Six

The 1611 King James bible correctly says at Revelation 13:18 that the beast antichrist's number is six hundred threescore and six. Most translated bibles like the NKJV, NIV, ESV, NASB, and the RSV bibles change the beast antichrist's number to six hundred sixty and six or just say 666. This is a big deal and hides the identity of the beast antichrist who will be an Assyrian Jew and not a Gentile.

The first three mentions of the word threescore in the KJV bible tell us that the beast antichrist will be an Assyrian Jew. The first time the word threescore appears in the KJV bible is at the 666th verse of the KJV bible at Genesis 25:7 mentioning a Jew named Abraham. And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years. The second time the word threescore appears in the KJV bible is at Genesis 25:26 mentioning a Jew named Isaac. And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them. The third time the word threescore appears in the KJV bible is at Genesis 46:26 mentioning a Jew named Jacob. All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore and six.

Therefore the first three mentions of the word threescore in the KJV bible tell us that the beast antichrist will be an Assyrian Jew like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Note the reason why the translated bibles are incorrect when they say the beast antichrist's number is six hundred sixty and six. Sixty instead of threescore is a big deal. The first six times the word sixty appears in the KJV bible, it speaks about Gentiles and not Jews. The first six mentions about sixty speak about 4 Gentiles named Mahalaleel, Jared, Enoch, and Methuselah at Genesis 5:15, Genesis 5:18, Genesis 5:20, Genesis 5:21, Genesis 5:23, and Genesis 5:27. This is why it is so important to only read and study a perfect, infallible 1611 KJV bible.

Notice that the first time the word threescore appears in the new testament is at Luke 24:13 that talks about the two witnesses on the road to Emmaus with the Lord Jesus. This mention of threescore reminds us of the beast antichrist who will kill the two witnesses (Moses and Elijah) during the great tribulation. Luke 24:13 says And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. Revelation 11:7 says And when they (Moses and Elijah) shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

The reason Brother Bob mentioned Jews and Gentiles is because 1 Corinthians 10:32 says that there are only three classes of people on this earth (unsaved Jews, unsaved Gentiles, and the saved church that includes saved Jews and saved Gentiles). Give none offence, neither to the Jews (not Hebrew Israelites), nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God.

Note that many new false translated bibles remove Mark 16:9-20 from the bible. The result will leave the gospel of Mark with 666 verses. It's interesting that the devil is using these false translated bibles to display the mark of the beast antichrist at the gospel of Mark with 666 verses. The perfect, infallible KJV bible is a blessing and does not display the mark of the beast antichrist and includes Mark 16:9-20. Finally note that only in a KJV bible will you discover that the words threescore and six appear in 13 verses where the number 13 signifies the beast antichrist's rebellion.

In conclusion, keep your eyes on the Lord Jesus Christ but be aware of the beast antichrist and his number 666. When we see the signs of the beast antichrist and the great tribulation, realize that the rapture is soon to come where the christians will escape this troubled world and live with the Lord Jesus forever in eternal peace. Ephesians 5:14 says Wherefore He (Jesus) saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly (diligently), not as fools, but as wise. Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Don't be discouraged when you see the signs about the beast antichrist. Instead be encouraged because very soon the rapture will occur where the christians will escape from this troubled world and be caught up to the clouds to meet the Lord Jesus in the air in peace forever. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 says For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Corinthians 15:51 says Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Revelations About The Longest And Shortest Bible Verses

Why Esther 8:9 Is The Longest Bible Verse Containing 90 Words

Esther 8:9 says Then were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month of Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies, and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.

Why is Esther 8:9 such a long bible verse? The reason Esther 8:9 is the longest bible verse containing 90 words is because necessary specific details for a royal decree had to be documented to be legally effective across the vast Persian Empire. The decree was issued to counteract an earlier edict by Haman that called for the destruction of the Jewish people. To achieve this, the verse includes specific information such as the date the order was written, a list of all 127 provinces and their leaders from India to Ethiopia, and the requirement for the decree to be translated into each group's language and script. This thoroughness ensured the message granting Jews the right to self defense was clear and recognized throughout the kingdom.

Why John 11:35 Might Not Be The Shortest Bible Verse Containing 2 Words

Everyone usually says that John 11:35 that says Jesus wept is the shortest bible verse. But this might not be the case. John 11:35 that says Jesus wept (only 9 letters) is the shortest bible verse in the English King James bible. It's shorter than 1 Thessalonians 5:16 that says Rejoice evermore that has 15 letters. But in the Greek bible, 1 Thessalonians 5:16 is a shorter bible verse than John 11:35. Rejoice evermore at 1 Thessalonians 5:16 contains two Greek words with only 14 Greek characters, while Jesus wept at John 11:35 contains three Greek words with 16 characters.

In response, Brother Bob tells everyone Rejoice evermore because the Lord Jesus will wipe away all tears. Philippians 4:4 says Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say rejoice. Revelation 21:4 says 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.

Revelations About The Longest And Shortest Bible Chapters

Where Psalm 118:8 Is The Center Verse Of The KJV Bible

Note that Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter in the bible. Psalm 118 is the middle chapter in the bible. Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the bible about the bible. The center verse of the KJV Bible is Psalm 118:8 that says It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It's amazing that only in a King James bible will you discover that the two middle words of the bible at Psalm 118:8 are the Lord. Also there are 594 chapters before Psalm 118 and there are 594 chapters after Psalm 118. 594+594=1188-Psalm 118:8 is the center verse of the bible.

Why Mahershalalhashbaz Is The Longest Word In The Bible With 18 Letters

Mahershalalhashbaz is the longest word in the bible at Isaiah 8:1 that says Moreover the Lord said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz. Note the reason why Isaiah wrote about Mahershalalhashbaz. Mahershalalhashbaz is the name of Isaiah's second son and a significant prophetic sign given by God to the people in southern Judah.

Pekah of Israel and Rezin of Syria were fighting against Ahaz. Instead of trusting in the Lord Jesus to defeat Pekah and Rezin, Ahaz relied on Tilgath-pilneser of Assyria who defeated Pekah and Rezin. As a result, Tilgath-pilneser distressed Ahaz, making Ahaz and his people slaves. Ahaz suffered because he trusted in the worldly help of Tilgath-pilneser instead of the Lord Jesus.

The prophet Isaiah said that Ahaz refused the living fountain of water called Shiloah that is Jesus and suffered as a slave because he relied on the worldly help of an Assyrian King named Tilgath-pilneser. Isaiah 8:6 says Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah (called a fountain of living water or Jesus) that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son (Pekah); Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria (King Tilgath-pilneser to make slaves of Ahaz and his people), and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks.

2 Chronicles 28:16 also speaks about Ahaz saying At that time did King Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him. 2 Chronicles 28:20 goes on to say And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not. For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of the Lord, and out of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave it unto the King of Assyria: but he helped him not.

Why William Shakespeare Did Not Help Translate The KJV Bible

And Place His Name In Psalm 46

The connection between William Shakespeare and Psalm 46 is a popular legend claiming that Shakespeare hid his name within Psalm 46 of the KJV bible. The legend is based on a perceived word puzzle within Psalm 46. This false myth is an apocryphal story of doubtful authenticity, although widely circulated as being true.

The alleged legend hinges on two specific details in the 1611 KJV translation of Psalm 46. The 46th word from the beginning of Psalm 46 is "shake". The 46th word from the end of Psalm 46 (omitting the liturgical marker Selah) is "spear". Shakespeare was 46 years old when the KJV bible was published in 1611.

Proponents of this theory suggest that Shakespeare, a celebrated literary figure in King James' court, may have been involved in reviewing some of the translations and subtly inserted his name as a form of signature. Most biblical and Shakespearean scholars largely dismiss this story as an urban legend or a remarkable coincidence.

The KJV translators worked in committees and the idea of a single translator like Shakespeare is highly unlikely. The KJV translators names and their assigned sections are well documented, and Shakespeare is not among them. The original authors of Psalm 46 were the Sons of Korah who were ancient Levite musicians who had nothing to do with Shakespeare. Shakespeare did not secretly translate the 1611 KJV bible.

The theory is flawed because the words "shake" and "spear" appear in the same relative locations in earlier English translations, such as the Bishop's Bible of 1568, that was published when Shakespeare was an infant and knew nothing about Psalm 46. The KJV translation of Psalm 46 heavily relied on these previous bible versions.

The theory is flawed because to make "spear" be the 46th word from the end of Psalm 46, the word Selah (a musical or liturgical instruction during public worship to pause and reflect about a bible verse) must be omitted from the word count. While the coincidence of the words shake and spear appearing in Psalm 46 is intriguing, it is generally considered to be a fascinating piece of literary folklore rather than a factual historical event. Shakespeare did not secretly translate the 1611 KJV bible.

The Seven Feasts Of The Lord Speak About Jesus

noreply@blogger.com (brotherbob) — Tue, 19 Aug 2025 12:30:00 +0000

The Seven Feasts Of The Lord Speak About Jesus

The seven feasts of the Lord speak about the Lord Jesus. The first four spring feasts (Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, and Pentecost) represent the first coming of the Lord Jesus. The last three autumn fall feasts (Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles) represent the second coming of the Lord Jesus.

Passover represents the death of the Lord Jesus on the cross of Calvary. Unleavened Bread represents the burial of the Lord Jesus Christ. Firstfruits represents the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Pentecost represents the Holy Spirit that comforts christians until Jesus returns. Trumpets represents the rapture of the christians at the last trump of God. Atonement represents the Jews' repentance and salvation at the end of the great tribulation when they believe that the Lord Jesus is the Messiah. Tabernacles represents the millennium where the Jews and the christians will dwell safely on earth for 1000 years.

1) The Feast Of Passover

The first feast of the Lord is called Passover that represents the death of the Lord Jesus on the cross of Calvary. 1 Corinthians 5:7 tells us that the Lord Jesus Christ is our Passover Lamb that was sacrificed for us on the cross of Calvary. The blood of the innocent, perfect Lamb of God who is the Lord Jesus was placed on the doors of the Jews in Egypt. When the angel of death saw the blood of the Lamb Jesus, the angel of death passed over the Jews' homes. The Jews survived but the Egyptian firstborn were killed because the blood of the Lamb Jesus was not on the Egyptian's doors.

The first feast of Passover (Pesach) is mentioned at Leviticus 23:4. These are the feasts of the Lord, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord's passover. Passover occurs every year during the Jews' first month that is April 14th.

The Book Of Exodus Speaks About The Passover Lamb Jesus

The Lord Jesus Is Called A Lamb, The Lamb, Your Lamb

A Lamb-Sacrifice

The Lamb-Saviour

Your Lamb-Salvation

Notice that Exodus 12:3-5 speaks about a lamb, the lamb, and finally your lamb. First Exodus 12:3 talks about a lamb saying Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house. Then Exodus 12:4 talks about the lamb saying And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. Finally Exodus 12:5 talks about your lamb saying Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or the goats.

Notice the progression from A Lamb to The Lamb To Your Lamb

First we learn that a lamb had to be sacrificed for our sins because according to Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood there is no remission (release from the bondage and imprisonment of sin). The sacrifice had to be a lamb that was innocent and perfect to remove our sins. The blood of an innocent lamb was placed on the door of a child of God in Egypt for protection from the death angel. The Lord Jesus said at Exodus 12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

Next we identify The Lamb that was sacrificed to cleanse us from all our sins. John the Baptist told us that Jesus is the Lamb of God that was sacrificed for our sins at John 1:29 that says The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Jesus is the innocent perfect Lamb without sin according to 1 John 3:5 And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin. Hebrews 4:15 says The Lamb Jesus was without sin. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Finally Jesus must become your lamb to be saved and cleansed from all your sins. Everyone must work out their own salvation with fear and trembling where Jesus is your Lamb that cleanses you from all sin. God has provided The Lamb Jesus for your salvation. Right now make Jesus your Lamb and get saved. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. Tell the devil daily by faith I am crucified with Jesus Christ and my sins are removed because the blood of Jesus gives me total victory over the devil. Revelation 12:11 says And they overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus), and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

The Blood Of The Passover Lamb Jesus

Is A Fence Of Protection From The Devil

The blood of the Passover Lamb Jesus is a fence of protection from the devil. The devil can not get through the blood of Jesus. Every day by faith say in Jesus name Lord have your angels send the blood of the Lamb Jesus over my home, car, myself, and everywhere I travel. The blood of Jesus will cause the devil to pass over you and keep you safe and allow you to survive and overcome this troubled world. Remember to daily thank Jesus for shedding his precious blood at the cross of Calvary for you that is the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

The angel of death was not looking for good or bad people, rich or poor people, big or little people, fat or skinny people, young or old people, black, white, or yellow people. The angel of death was looking for the blood of the Passover Lamb Jesus. The angel of death said When I see the blood of the Passover Lamb Jesus, I will pass over you. Tell the devil daily you can't steal, kill, or destroy anything in my life because by faith I am covered and everything I own is covered by the blood of Jesus. Devil you must pass over me and flee from me.

And Sing The Words Below For When I See The Blood I Will Pass Over You

Written By John G. Foote In 1892

Revised By Elisha A. Hoffman In 1909

Christ our Redeemer, died on the cross

Died for the sinner, paid all his due

Sprinkle your soul with the blood of the Lamb

And I will pass, will pass over you

When I see the blood

I will pass, I will pass over you

Chiefest of sinners, Jesus will save

As He has promised, that He will do

Wash in the fountain opened for sin

And I will pass, will pass over you

Judgment is coming, all will be there

Each one receiving, justly his due

Hide in the saving sin cleansing blood

And I will pass, will pass over you

O great compassion, O boundless love

O lovingkindness, faithful and true

Find peace and shelter under the blood

And I will pass, will pass over you

2) The Feast Of Unleavened Bread

The second feast of the Lord is called the feast of unleavened bread that represents the burial of the Lord Jesus Christ. Leaven or yeast makes bread rise. The bible says that leaven represents a proud Pharisee that rises up with lies, false doctrine, malice, and wickedness. Jesus said at Matthew 16:6 Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 1 Corinthians 5:7 says Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Unlike the proud leavened Pharisees and Sadducees, the Lord Jesus is humble and unleavened. The Lord Jesus is the true, humble, unleavened bread of life that died for sinners on the cross of Calvary. Jesus said at John 6:35 I am the bread of life; he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. Jesus said at John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Jesus was willing to become the true bread of life and stayed down flat like unleavened bread after burial for three days before His resurrection. Unlike the proud leavened Pharisees and Sadducees who lied with false doctrine, the humble unleavened Jesus is sincere and speaks the truth. Therefore the feast of unleavened bread represents the burial of the Lord Jesus who stayed down flat in burial for three days before His resurrection.

The second feast of unleavened bread (Hag HaMatzot or the feast of Matzah) is mentioned at Leviticus 23:6. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. Unleavened bread is called matzah that is a thin, crisp, unleavened flatbread that can be purchased at the grocery store. The Jews eat matzah for seven days instead of bread to celebrate the feast of unleavened bread from April 15th to April 22nd.

Mary Magdalene's Precious Spikenard

Preserved Jesus' Unleavened Body For Burial

The Spikenard Was A Witness That Jesus' Unleavened Body Would Not Decay

But Would Rise From The Grave Preserved Forever With Eternal Life

Mark 14:3 speaks about Mary Magdalene anointing Jesus with spikenard at Simon's house and says And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on His head. Jesus said at Mark 14:8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

Jesus also said at Matthew 26:12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. At the cross of Calvary, the sweet smelling spikenard's odour remained and was greater than the foul odour of vinegar mingled with the poisonous gall (hemlock plant) drink that Jesus tasted but did not drink, preserving Jesus' body from decay for burial and is a witness about Jesus' resurrection from the dead with eternal life.

Spikenard was used to anoint the body of the deceased to delay decomposition and mask the odour of decay during the period between death and burial. The spikenard was a witness that Jesus' body would not decay. Instead Jesus' body would become glorified, resurrected, and be preserved forever with eternal life. Like Jesus, saved saints bodies won't ever decay, will become glorified, and will be preserved with eternal life. Romans 8:11 says But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you. 2 Corinthians 4:14 says Knowing that He which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. Jesus said at John 6:40 And this is the will of Him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

As a side note, it's remarkable that Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of Psalm 69:21 that says They gave me also gall (a poisonous hemlock plant) for my meat; and in my thirst they gave vinegar to drink. Matthew 27:34 says They gave Him (Jesus) vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, He would not drink. In other words no man could kill Jesus. Jesus said at John 10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

3) The Feast Of Firstfruits

The third feast of firstfruits is mentioned at Leviticus 23:10. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest. And he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. When the Lord Jesus resurrected, Jesus represented the firstfruits or a sheaf of barley fruit that priests waved proclaiming everywhere that we have the firstfruits. The Lord Jesus who is the seed that was dead at the cross of Calvary is now alive and bringing forth much fruit.

Like the priests who made a wave offering of the firstfruit sheaves of barley unto the Lord, wave your hands to the Lord Jesus and thank Jesus for dying on the cross of Calvary to become the firstfruit of blessing that gives christians peaceful eternal life. Jesus said at John 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. Jesus represents that corn of wheat firstfruit that died on the cross of Calvary to bring forth much fruit (many saved christians with peaceful eternal life).

The third feast of the Lord is called the feast of firstfruits (Yom Bikkurim) that represents the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ along with 144000 preselected Jewish old testament saints (not Jehovah Witnesses). 1 Corinthians 15:20 tells us that the Lord Jesus Christ is the firstfruits of them that slept. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. Revelation 14:4 also tells us that 144000 Jewish old testament saints are called the firstfruits of God that were resurrected with Jesus. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb, whithersoever He goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

Learn About The Order Of The Four Resurrections

These Four Resurrections Are Called The First Resurrection

1) Jesus Christ Resurrected Called The Firstfruits Of Them That Slept

2) 144000 Preselected Jewish Old Testament Saints Also Called Firstfruits

3) The Bride Church Of Saved Christians Called The Harvest

4) The Rest Of The Old Testament Saints And The Saved Tribulation Saints

That Endured To The End Of The Tribulation Called The Gleanings

5) Finally Millennial Saints Will Be Resurrected At The End Of The Millennium

The phrase "Come up hither" appears three times in the bible describing the above noted three resurrections. God's Word tells us about three "Come up hithers" that describe the resurrections of Jesus, the 144000 Jewish old testament saints, the bride church, the old testament saints, and the tribulation saints. The first "Come up hither" describing Jesus and the 144000 Jewish old testament saints resurrecting first is at Proverbs 25:7. For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.

At the battle of Armegeddon Jesus will return to earth after touching the Mount of Olives with his army (the bride church, old testament saints, and the tribulation saints) to cast the beast antichrist and the false prophet into the lake of fire alive. Jesus will return as the Lion of the tribe of Judah to rule and reign with a rod of iron on this earth for 1000 years, trampling those that rejected Jesus like a winepress where the blood will be unto the horse bridles for 200 miles that is 1600 furlongs.

4) The Feast Of Weeks Or Pentecost

The fourth feast of Weeks or Pentecost is mentioned at Leviticus 23:15. And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete: Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the Lord. In other words after seven sabbaths or seven weeks or 49 days, on the 50th day, the feast of Pentecost occurs.

The Jews call the feast of Weeks or Pentecost (Shavuot). According to Jewish tradition, the feast of Pentecost is an agricultural festival celebrating the wheat harvest, occurring seven weeks (50 days) after the feast of Firstfruits. According to Christianity, the feast of Pentecost represents the Holy Spirit that filled the disciples on the day of Pentecost 50 days after the Lord Jesus was resurrected. Acts 2:1 says And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

5) The Feast Of Trumpets

The fifth feast of trumpets is mentioned at Leviticus 23:24. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. The feast of trumpets is called Rosh Hashanah that occurs every year on September 22nd.

Note that there is a five month interval between the feast of Pentecost and the feast of Trumpets. The first four spring feasts (Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, and Pentecost) represent the first coming of the Lord Jesus. The last three autumn fall feasts (Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles) represent the second coming of the Lord Jesus. After an interval of over 2000 years since the Lord Jesus was crucified on the cross of Calvary, the feast of trumpets will occur soon where the christians will hear God's voice (called the last trump) and be raptured out of this world.

The feast of trumpets represents the rapture of the bride church where the christians will be caught up to the clouds to meet the Lord Jesus in the air and receive eternal peace forever. Every year during Rosh Hashanah or the feast of trumpets, the Jews blow a shofar (a hollowed out ram's horn) 100 times to celebrate the feast of trumpets. The name Rosh Hashanah or Yom Teruah means day of shouting and cheering or day of blasting where the Jews shout Tekoa every time they blow the shofar ram's horn. The Hebrew definition for Tekoa is trumpet. Tekoa was an ancient biblical city in the West Bank of Israel that was the hometown of the prophet Amos.

The last shofar trumpet blast is called the Awakening Blast that represents the last trump of God where the christians will be caught up to the clouds to be with the Lord Jesus in the air in peace forever. This last awakening shofar blast will remind the Jewish people to wake up from their spiritual slumber and realize that the Lord Jesus is their Messiah when they see the christians disappear from this earth during the rapture. Eventually the Jews will repent, get saved, and believe that Jesus is Messiah God at the end of the tribulation during the next feast called the feast of atonement.

The Two Trumpets Heard By Christians During The Rapture

Numbers 10:2 speaks about two trumpets heard by christians during the rapture. This is a beautiful picture of the rapture. Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps. And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door (Jesus) of the tabernacle of the congregation.

The two trumpets heard by christians at the rapture will be God's voice (called the trump of God) and has nothing to do with seven angels blowing seven trumpets during the tribulation after the opening of the seventh seal (Revelation 8:1-2). The last trump of God (God's voice) is different from the seven angelic trumpets blown by angels. The seven angelic trumpets during the tribulation signal cosmic disasters and woes upon the earth. The last trump of God signals the resurrection and gathering of christians during the rapture to meet the Lord Jesus in the air. In other words the rapture won't occur during the tribulation. The rapture will occur before the tribulation where God's voice will be the sound of the two trumpets.

The Scriptures Below Proving That God's Voice Is The Sound Of A Trumpet

When Moses and the children of Israel heard God's voice at Mount Sinai, it was the sound of a trumpet. Exodus 19:18 says And Mount Sinai was altogether on smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice. When John heard God's voice it was the sound of a trumpet. John said at Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice (from the Lord Jesus), as of a trumpet, Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. John also said at Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet (God's voice) talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

1 Corinthians 15:51 speaks about the two trumpets heard by christians during the rapture. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed (this is a blessed sign to place over the church baby nursery). In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump (note that there must be a preceding trump sound before the second last trump sound): for the trumpet shall sound (God's voice), and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

1 Thessalonians 4:16 describes the two trumpet sounds (God's voice) heard by christians during the rapture. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout (first trumpet sound), with the voice of the archangel (Michael), and with the trump of God (second trumpet sound or last trump of God's voice that has nothing to do with an angel blowing a trumpet during the tribulation): and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Notice another reason why two trumpet sounds will be heard by christians during the rapture. According to Numbers 10:2-3 the first trumpet sound of God's voice will be for the calling of the assembly. The dead in Christ and the living christians will first hear the Lord Jesus' voice like a trumpet calling their name saying Come up hither together to the clouds. John 10:3 says To Him (Jesus) the porter openeth; and His sheep hear His voice: and He calleth His own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when He putteth forth His own sheep, He goeth before them, and the sheep follow Him: for they know His voice. When he calls me I will answer, I'll be somewhere listening for my name. The second trumpet sound of God's voice will be a signal for the journeying of the camps where the dead in Christ and the living saints journey together to meet the Lord Jesus in the air for a joyous reunion celebration forever.

Finally, there will be an interval between the first and second trumpet sounds of God's voice during the rapture. I don't know how long the interval will be between the first trumpet sound heard by the dead in Christ and the second trumpet sound heard by the living saints. It might be a moment, 1 second, 15 seconds, 15 minutes, a day, or a half hour of silence (like the half hour of silence that will occur when God opens the seventh seal before the seven trumpets of tribulation wrath happen on the earth noted at Revelation 8:1): And when He had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

I believe that there will be two trumpets of God's voice sounding during the rapture. When the living saints hear the first trumpet sound of God's voice for the dead in Christ, it will be a warning before they get caught up to the clouds during the second trumpet. What would you do if you heard that first trumpet sound and had a half hour to be on this earth before the rapture? Instead of saying like Paul Revere-The British are coming. Tell everyone everywhere the Lord Jesus is coming. Get ready for the rapture. But Brother Bob says always be ready for the rapture that is a mystery where no one but the Father knows the exact time for the rapture. Luke 21:36 tells us Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

6) The Feast Of Atonement

The sixth feast of atonement is mentioned at Leviticus 23:27. Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement (Yom Kippur that occurs every year on October 1st): it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.

The feast of atonement represents the Jews' repentance and salvation at the end of the great tribulation when they believe that the Lord Jesus is the Messiah. The Jews will realize that the Lord Jesus is the Messiah when they look upon the Lord Jesus whom they have pierced at the end of the tribulation.

But note that before the tribulation, many Jews are getting saved and becoming christians. Brother Bob who writes preachbrotherbob is an orthodox Jew that got saved. Blindness in part is happened to Israel and not all Jews are lost without Jesus today. Romans 11:25 says For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

Note the following scriptures that speak about the Jews' repentance and salvation at the end of the tribulation. Zechariah 12:10 says And I (the Lord Jesus) will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem (the Jews), the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me (called in Hebrew the Aleph Tav, Alpha and Omega, Lord Jesus) whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. Notice what the Jews will say to the Lord Jesus when they repent, get saved, and wake up at the end of the tribulation. Zechariah 13:6 says And one shall say unto Him (the Lord Jesus), What are these wounds in thine hands? Then He shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.

7) The Feast Of Tabernacles

The seventh feast of tabernacles (Sukkot) is mentioned at Leviticus 23:39. Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast (of tabernacles) unto the Lord seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath. And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick (myrtle) trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days. And ye shall keep it a feast unto the Lord seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month. Ye shall dwell in booths (tabernacles) seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths. Sukkot occurs every year from October 6th to October 13th.

The feast of tabernacles represents the millennium where Jews and christians will dwell safely on this earth for 1000 years while they praise the Lord Jesus for His blessings. When the Lord Jesus is King of this earth during the millennium, every nation will have to keep the feast of tabernacles from year to year. If a nation does not come up to Jerusalem at Mount Zion once every year to worship King Jesus, that nation will be plagued with no rain and the Lord Jesus will smite these heathens.

How The Jewish Celebration Of Sukkot Speaks About Jesus

Christians And Saved Jews Will Thank The Lord Jesus During The Millennium

By Waving A Lulav And An Etrog To The Lord Jesus

Every year the Jews celebrate the feast of tabernacles called Sukkot. Sukkot is a time to give thanks for the fall harvest and the blessings of the earth. During Sukkot, Jews build sukkahs that are booths to dwell in for seven days while they praise the Lord Jesus for His blessings on this earth. Friends, family, and neighbors are invited into the sukkahs to give thanks to the Lord Jesus for his blessings on this earth.

While in the sukkahs, the Jews thank the Lord Jesus by waving a lulav and an etrog pictured above. A lulav is a bundle of palm, myrtle, and willow branches. An etrog is a large yellow citrus fruit. The Sukkot celebrant holds the lulav and the etrog together and shakes them three times in six directions (right, left, forward, behind, up, and down). Christians and saved Jews will thank the Lord Jesus for His blessings during the millennium by waving a lulav and an etrog to the Lord Jesus.

The reason the lulav and the etrog are waved during Sukkot to praise the Lord Jesus is to proclaim that during the millennium everything in nature will praise the Lord Jesus. When the wind blows through the lulav branches of the palm, myrtle, and willow trees, they will clap their hands praising the Lord Jesus. Isaiah 55:12 says For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing (birds singing praises to the Lord Jesus), and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off. During the millennium there will be no more thorns or briers. Instead the lulav branches of the myrtle trees will be waved in praise to our Lord Jesus.

An etrog fruitful praise will be offered by the corn fields that praise the Lord Jesus while they stretch and praise the Lord Jesus during the millennium. Psalm 65:13 says The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing. If you walk through a cornfield, you will hear the corn praising the Lord Jesus while it stretches and grows.

The following scriptures explain how everything will prosper and come to life when Jesus is king of this earth for 1000 glorious years. This is why there will be a feast of tabernacles celebration every year during the millennium. Isaiah 65:20 says There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. Isaiah 35:1 says The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God.

Isaiah 51:3 says For the Lord shall comfort Zion: He will comfort all her waste places; and He will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. Isaiah 32:15 says Until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest. The watermelons, apples, and strawberries will grow so large that they will be like a forest.

The great multitude of tribulation saints during the tribulation that praise the Lord Jesus will be a preview of the future millennial feast of tabernacles where christians and saved Jews will worship the Lord Jesus by waving the palm branches of the lulav and the fruitful blessing of the etrog. Revelation 7:9 says After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

The Triumphal Entry of the Lord Jesus into Jerusalem was a preview of the future millennial feast of tabernacles where christians and saved Jews will worship the Lord Jesus by waving the palm branches of the lulav and the fruitful blessing of the etrog. The millennial saints will thank the Lord Jesus every year during the feast of tabernacles for His presence that blesses the earth with peace, joy, and eternal life.

Matthew 21:8 described the Triumphal Entry of Jesus that celebrated Sukkot saying And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees (myrtle and willow), and strawed them in the way. And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. And when He was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. John 12:13 says (The people) Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet Him (Jesus), and cried, Hosanna; Blessed is the king of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.

While You Offer A Feast Of Tabernacles Praise To Jesus

Finally a preview of the millennial feast of tabernacles occurred when Peter wanted to praise the Lord Jesus by making three tabernacles for Jesus, Moses, and Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration. Peter offered a Sukkot praise to our Lord Jesus.

Matthew 17:1 says And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart. And was transfigured before them: and His face did shine as the sun, and His raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with Him. Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

The Miphkad Gate Represents The Judgment Seat Of Christ

That Occurs In Heaven After Christians Are Raptured

The Hebrew definition for Miphkad Gate is an appointed place and represents the Judgment Seat of Christ. All christians must appear before the Miphkad Gate Judgment Seat of Christ after their service on this earth for the Lord Jesus Christ. All christians have a date with Diety and an appointment with the Almighty at the Judgment Seat of Christ after the rapture. Hebrews 9:27 says And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. The Miphkad Gate is also called the Inspection Gate where christians will be inspected and judged for their service (deeds and witnessing about the Lord Jesus) on this earth.

The first event after the rapture will be all the christians appearing before the Judgment Seat of Christ to either receive or lose rewards for their service for the Lord Jesus on the earth. 2 Corinthians 5:10 says For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

2 Timothy 4:1 says I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom (This Judgment Seat of Christ occurs with Jesus' appearance in the air during the rapture judging the quick and the dead) (those alive when the rapture occurs and the dead in Christ). Christians will be rewarded for their good deeds and their witnessing on the earth. Christians will suffer loss when they failed to witness Jesus because of selfishness. These christians will not lose their salvation but fire at the Judgment Seat of Christ will determine if they receive or lose rewards in heaven.

Be Like Brother Bob And Tell People Everywhere How To Be Saved

And Receive Great Rewards At The Judgment Seat Of Christ

Get Saved, Repent, Decide To Stop Sinning,

Confess That Jesus Is God, And Believe The Gospel

That Jesus Died On The Cross For You, Was Buried, And Rose Again

The Judgment Seat Of Christ Does Not Deal With Sin

The Judgment Seat Of Christ Deals With Service

The Judgment Seat Of Christ Is Not For Condemnation

The Judgment Seat Of Christ Is For Reward Or Loss Of Reward

At the Judgment Seat of Christ, christians are not judged for sin. After salvation, Jesus removes christians' sins at the cross of Calvary. The Lord Jesus' death at the cross of Calvary washed away christians' sins past, present, and future. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says For He (The Father) hath made Him (The Lord Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. Romans 8:1 says There is therefore now no condemnation (damnatory judgment for sin) to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

At the Judgment Seat of Christ, christians are judged for service. The christian's salvation is secure. But the christian's service is under review. 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 describes what will happen at the Judgment Seat of Christ where every christian's works will be tried by fire. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: But he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

At The Judgment Seat Of Christ

Christians Can Reap Any Of Six Items Tried By Fire

Good Works Appear As Gold, Silver, And Precious Stones

Bad Works Appear As Wood, Hay, And Stubble

At the Judgment Seat of Christ christians can reap any of six items tried by fire. Good works appear as gold, silver, and precious stones that survive the fire with value to merit great rewards from the Lord Jesus. Bad works appear as wood, hay, and stubble that disappear where christians suffer the loss of rewards but remain saved.

The Miphkad Gate is mentioned at Nehemiah 3:31. After him repaired Malchaiah the goldsmith's son unto the place of the Nethinims, and of the merchants, over against the gate Miphkad, and to the going up of the corner. Pictured above we see that goldsmiths and merchants worked on the Miphkad Gate because they realized that anything that survives the fire is a valuable reward.

Goldsmiths place metals in fire for purification to determine their quality and value. Merchants distribute the final product of value. The goldsmiths make the fine jewelry and the merchants sell the fine jewelry. Goldsmiths and merchants understand the importance of testing everything with fire to determine the value of a final product. Every christian's works will be tested by fire at the Miphkad Gate Judgment Seat of Christ to determine rewards of value or loss of rewards that are dross and useless.

The twelve gates of Nehemiah speak about the christian life. After salvation at the sheep gate, witnessing Jesus at the fish gate, learning the old truths at the old gate, staying humble at the valley gate, denying sin at the dung gate, getting filled with the Spirit at the fountain gate, meditating on the Word of God at the water gate, fighting the good fight of faith at the horse gate, and watching for Jesus' return at the East Gate, all christians have to appear at the Miphkad Gate to be judged after the rapture for their deeds on earth at the Judgment Seat of Christ in heaven.

What Will Happen At The Miphkad Gate Judgment Seat Of Christ?

At the Miphkad Gate Judgment Seat of Christ the Lord Jesus will give rewards to christians who faithfully served the Lord Jesus, fought the good fight of faith, and witnessed Jesus everywhere. Jesus said at Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. But if christians are selfish, bitter, and unforgiving, they will lose rewards.

Don't lose rewards from the Judgment Seat of Christ because you were bitter, selfish, and unforgiving. Romans 14:10 says But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. Remember Brother Bob's motto for success. Avoid angry people, forgive forever, and always love your enemies. Don't be bitter and always forgive, even if you were right and your enemy was wrong. Don't let anyone take away your joy because bitterness removes joy that is your strength. Hebrews 12:15 says Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled. Bitterness not only troubles a person but harms everyone around them.

Choose today to receive rewards at the Judgment Seat of Christ by being kind and forgiving everyone, even your worst enemies. Ephesians 4:31 says Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Don't be selfish. Instead witness Jesus everywhere to receive great rewards at the Judgment Seat of Christ. Matthew 22:30 says that at the great white throne judgment, christians will be like the angels of God. For in the resurrection they (christians) neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. Don't let anyone say to you at the great white throne judgment (especially a loved family member) Why didn't you tell me about Jesus? That christian like an angel along with the Lord Jesus will cast that unbeliever into the lake of fire. Therefore tell everyone Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again.

Christians will cry for lost sinners that they failed to witness to for 1000 years until God removes all tears and bad memories in the kingdom of God at Revelation 21:4. 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. This is why we need to witness Jesus everywhere because eternity is forever and what anyone does with the Lord Jesus determines where they live forever. Get saved with Jesus and live forever in peaceful heaven. Reject Jesus and live forever in torment in the lake of fire.

Inspect Yourself Daily Before You Arrive At The Miphkad Inspection Gate

Inspect yourself daily before you arrive at the Miphkad Inspection Gate. Continual inspection of our personal lives is necessary to live holy lives and receive rewards at the Miphkad Gate Judgment Seat of Christ. Daily study the Word of God, pray, and fellowship with other christians to avoid sin and be blessed. 2 Corinthians 13:5 says Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Inspect yourself daily by denying yourself while you look at the cross of Calvary where Jesus died for our sins. Jesus said at Luke 9:23 If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. King David said at Psalm 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Personal inspection is very beneficial. King David said at Psalm 32:5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. Psalm 37:4 says Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 1 Corinthians 11:31 says For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. Philippians 2:4 says Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

Note that the last two gates mentioned by Nehemiah that speak about the christian life are the Ephraim Gate and the Prison Gate. Nehemiah 12:39 says And from the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate. At the Ephraim Gate christians receive a doubly fruitful blessing in the kingdom of God with the Lord Jesus. At the prison gate unbelievers are cast into the lake of fire at the great white throne judgment.

Why Nehemiah Chapter 3 Starts With The Sheep Gate

And Ends With The Sheep Gate

Nehemiah Chapter 3 starts with the sheep gate and ends with the sheep gate. Nehemiah 3:32 says And between the going up of the corner unto the sheep gate repaired the goldsmiths and the merchants. The reason Nehemiah Chapter 3 starts and ends at the sheep gate is because the sheep gate represents the good Shepherd who is the Lord Jesus Christ. Nehemiah's 12 gates are all about Jesus. The christian life starts with salvation from the Lord Jesus Christ and ends with judgment by the Lord Jesus Christ at the Judgment Seat of Christ.

The christian life begins and ends with the Lord Jesus Christ. Hebrews 12:2 says 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. Philippians 1:6 says Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Studying Nehemiah's 12 Gates To Learn About The Christian Life: The East Gate: A Message About The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ After The Seven Year Tribulation

noreply@blogger.com (brotherbob) — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 11:48:00 +0000

The East Gate Represents The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ To This Earth

After The Seven Year Tribulation To Rule And Reign

As King of Kings And Lord of Lords During The Millennium

The Lord Jesus will return to this earth after the seven year tribulation with His saved saints ruling on white horses to the Mount of Olives, traveling through the Kidron Valley, entering into the East Gate of the temple to be King of this earth for 1000 years during the millennium. The Mount of Olives in the first picture above overlooks the Kidron Valley in the second picture above that is before the shut East Gate of the temple in the third picture above that surrounds the city of Jerusalem.

Ezekiel prophesied about the East Gate of the temple at Ezekiel 44:1 that says Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut. Then said the Lord unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the Lord, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut. It is for the prince (the Prince of Peace Jesus); the prince, He shall sit in it to eat bread before the Lord; He shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.

The Lord Jesus fulfilled Ezekiel's prophecy by causing the East Gate to be shut to this day after He (the God of Israel) entered into the East Gate during His triumphal entry into Jerusalem over 2000 years ago. This is proven by Luke 19:37-45 when the Lord Jesus descended down the Mount of Olives through the Kidron valley into the East Gate of the temple during His triumphal entry.

First Luke 19:37 tells us that Jesus descended down the Mount of Olives saying And when He (Jesus) was come nigh, even now at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; Saying, Blessed be the king that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. Next Luke 19:41 tells us that Jesus went through the Kidron valley saying And when He (Jesus) was come near, He beheld the city (Jerusalem), and wept over it. Then Luke 19:45 tells us that Jesus entered into the East Gate of the temple saying And He (Jesus) went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought.

After the Lord Jesus went through the East Gate fulfilling Ezekiel's prophecy, the East Gate has been shut to this day. According to Ezekiel 44:1, the East Gate will remain shut until the Prince of Peace (the Lord Jesus) opens the East Gate when He returns to the Mount of Olives on this earth to rule and reign as King of kings for 1000 glorious years during the millennium. The Prince of Peace (King Jesus) will soon enter and open this East Gate to eat bread before the Lord and celebrate his millennial reign. And all the saved saints will follow Jesus through the East Gate to rule and reign on this earth as kings and priests for 1000 years during the millennium.

Ezekiel 11:23 prophesied about the Lord Jesus' triumphal entry through the East Gate of Jerusalem saying And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain (the Mount of Olives) which is on the east side of the city. Then Ezekiel 43:1 prophesied about the Lord Jesus' second coming and entry into the East Gate after the seven year tribulation saying Afterward He brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east: And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and His voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with His glory. Ezekiel 43:4 says And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.

During His Triumphal Entry From The Mount Of Olives Into Jerusalem

Soon The Lord Jesus Will Ride A White Horse Stallion Through The East Gate

To Rule And Reign With His Saints During The Millennium In Jerusalem

The East Gate was walled up by the Ottoman Turks with great stones. The East Gate (also known as the Golden Gate or Gate of Mercy) was sealed shut in 1541 A.D. by order of Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. Suleiman sealed the East Gate to prevent the entry of the Jewish Messiah (Jesus) because Ezekiel 44:1 says that the Messiah Lord Jesus will enter the East Gate when He rules this earth during the millennium. The Ottoman Turks also placed a graveyard in front of the East Gate, believing that according to sacred law the Messiah High Priest Jesus could not walk over unclean graves and touch dead bodies. These Muslims were trying to prevent the prophecy of Ezekiel 44:1 that Messiah Jesus will enter the East Gate after the seven year tribulation and be king of this earth during the millennium.

Note that every Muslim that's tried to dig under the East Gate or blow it up has died. Anyone with plans to blow up the East Gate before Jesus returns should fear God and leave the East Gate alone. When God says something is going to remain shut, it's going to remain shut. I fear God's Word and wouldn't even try to touch the East Gate. Only the Lord Jesus can open the East Gate.

Ezekiel 44:1 says that no man will be able to open the East Gate before Jesus returns to this earth. But when Jesus splits the Mount of Olives on his return to this earth, Jesus will split and remove the Muslim graveyard not touching any dead body and enter with the saints of God through the East Gate. Do a search on google for East Gate in Jerusalem and you will discover that the East Gate exists today and is shut (with the Muslim graveyard before the East Gate). The fact that the shut East Gate exists today proves that the 1611 KJV bible is the truth.

Zechariah 14:4 says And His (Jesus') feet shall stand in that day (when Jesus returns to this earth) upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. When Jesus' feet divide the Mount of Olives, it will remove the Muslim's graveyard before the East Gate and bust open the shut doors of the East Gate, fulfilling Ezekiel's prophecy about the East Gate. King Jesus will enter the East Gate with His saved saints and eat His bread before God the Father proclaiming to this earth that He is King of kings during the millennium.

A Story About Why The Holiday Inn

Couldn't Build A Hotel On The Mount Of Olives

Years ago the Holiday Inn had planned to build a hotel at the Mount of Olives in Israel. They sent a group of engineers to prepare for the building of the hotel. After some investigation they said it could not be done. There is a geological fault under the Mount of Olives that is causing it to split. This proves that the 1611 KJV bible is the truth and that the Mount of Olives will split when Jesus' feet divide the Mount of Olives upon His return to this earth during the millennium.

Several attempts have been made to open the East Gate to deny that the bible is true. Twice in the last century every attempt to open the sealed East Gate has failed. I found the following in Grant Jeffrey's book "Heaven, The Last Frontier." The first attempt was on December 9th 1917, when the Grand Mufti, the Arab leader of Jerusalem, tried to open the East Gate. He had ordered the other gates to Jerusalem sealed to deter the approaching allied Expeditionary Army led by the British General Edmund Allenby. This was back in the early 1900s when the British were dismantling the Ottoman Empire, that had ruled over the land of Israel for 400 years.

But the Grand Mufti did need to have one gate remain open, so he ordered his workmen to open the sealed East Gate. As the workmen picked up their sledgehammers, Allenby's airplane flew over Jerusalem, dropping thousands of leaflets telling the Arabs to flee. Miraculously, without a shot being fired, the opposing soldiers fled from Jerusalem. Jerusalem was delivered into the hands of the British, who one month earlier had promised the Jews the right to reestablish sovereignty over Israel, via the famous Balfour Declaration. The workmen fearfully put down their sledgehammers and the East Gate remained sealed fulfilling Ezekiel's prophecy.

Then in 1967 the ancient prophecy was fulfilled again. But first, a little history. In 1948 the Jews declared sovereignty over a portion of their ancient homeland. In retaliation, King Hussein of Jordan, who had control over the ancient city of Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount, forbade the Jews from worshipping at their sacred Western Wall. This was the first time in centuries that the Jews did not have access to the Western Wall, that is a remnant of the wall around the second Temple, that was destroyed by the Roman general Titus in 70 A.D.

King Hussein decided to build a hotel for Arab pilgrims on this section of the Western Wall, closing off this area to Jewish worship forever. The planned hotel was to be built over the Mughrabi Gate pictured above, that Muslims used to enter the Temple Mount. So the King needed to open another gate so that Muslims could get to the Al Aqsa Mosque, that was built by Muslims on the site of the Jewish Temple Mount. The Al Aqsa Mosque is the compound of Islamic religious buildings that sit atop the Temple Mount in Jerusalem including the Dome of the Rock and the Mosque of Omar.

In violation of Ezekiel's prophecy, King Hussein ordered his workmen to open the sealed East Gate. But during this time, President Nasser of Egypt was also preparing to attack Israel, hoping to wipe out the Jewish state. And the Jews were about to preemptively respond to this planned attack. On June 5th of 1967, while the workmen prepared their sledgehammers to shatter the huge stones sealing the East Gate, an intimidating array of Israeli aircraft flew overhead. The Six Day War had begun and the workmen put down their tools and fled.

At the end of the Six Day War, the workmen were unable to resume their project because the Jews had managed to recapture their ancient capital of Jerusalem. This was because Jordan joined the war with Egypt against Israel, thereby allowing Israel to reclaim Jerusalem and preserve the sealed East Gate. True to Ezekiel's prophecy, The East Gate remains sealed today. The East Gate will remain sealed until the day when our Lord Jesus enters into it to establish the kingdom of heaven for 1000 years on this earth during the millennium.

The East Gate Represents The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ To This Earth

After The Seven Year Tribulation To Rule And Reign

As King of Kings And Lord of Lords During The Millennium

The East Gate is mentioned at Nehemiah 3:29 that says After them repaired Zadok the son of Immer over against his house. After him repaired also Shemaiah the son of Shechaniah, the keeper of the East Gate. Like Shemaiah, christians need to be keepers of the East Gate watching, praying, and ready for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ in the air during the rapture. After christians are caught up in the clouds to be with Jesus during the rapture, the seven year tribulation will begin on this earth. After the seven year tribulation, the Lord Jesus Christ will return to this earth with His christian bride at the Mount of Olives, enter the East Gate, and rule and reign for 1000 years during the millennium.

The twelve gates of Jerusalem speak about the christian life. After salvation at the sheep gate, witnessing Jesus at the fish gate, learning the old truths at the old gate, staying humble at the valley gate, denying sin at the dung gate, getting filled with the Spirit at the fountain gate, meditating on the Word of God at the water gate, fighting the good fight of faith at the horse gate, christians need to daily watch and pray for the soon return and second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ during the rapture.

The rapture is a mystery and no one except the Father knows when the rapture will happen. Soon the Father will say to His Son (the Lord Jesus) go get the children. 1 Corinthians 15:51 says Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Since the time of the rapture is a mystery, christians should watch, pray, and be ready to be caught up out of this troubled world during the rapture.

A preacher posted a sign for his revival

Attend this revival and I will tell you the date of the

blessed hope called the rapture

When thousands of people attended the revival

to learn the date of the blessed hope called the rapture

The preacher told everyone Jesus is coming at an hour when ye think not

Luke 12:40 says Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh

at an hour when ye think not

Scriptures That Describe The East Gate

The scripture that best describes the East Gate and the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to this earth is Luke 21:28. And when these things begin to come to pass (wars, rumours of wars, famines, pestilences, and earthquakes), then look up, and lift up your heads, for your redemption draweth nigh. Matthew 24:27 tells us that the second coming of the Lord Jesus to this earth will be out of the east through the East Gate after He splits the Mount of Olives. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Revelation 19:11 speaks about the second coming of Jesus to this earth with his saved saints riding on white horses to rule and reign for 1000 years during the millennium. And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns, and He had a name written, that no man knew but He Himself. And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood, and His name is called the Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

Jesus Rose From The Mount Of Olives Before The East Gate

Jesus Will Return To the Mount Of Olives And Enter The East Gate

Acts 1:9 tells us that Jesus rose from the Mount of Olives before the East Gate. And when He (the Lord Jesus) had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up; and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stook by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven. Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the Mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath days journey.

Zechariah 14:4 and Ezekiel 44:1 tell us that Jesus will return to the Mount of Olives and enter the East Gate. And His (Jesus') feet shall stand in that day (when Jesus returns to this earth) upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

Like Shemaiah Be A Keeper Of The East Gate

Watch, Pray, And Be Ready For the Second Coming Of The Lord Jesus Christ

Like Shemaiah, be a keeper of the East Gate. Watch, pray, and be ready for the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Mark 13:33 says Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore. for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly He find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Jesus said at Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 1 John 2:28 says And now, little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. Ephesians 5:14 says Wherefore He (the Lord Jesus) saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly (diligently), not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

1 Corinthians 15:33 says Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. In other words wake up and stop wasting time with this fading world because many people have not the knowledge of God and need to get saved. You might be the only Jesus that anyone sees on this earth. Don't be selfish and whenever the Holy Spirit tells you to witness about Jesus, witness Jesus everywhere on this earth. 2 Corinthians 3:2 says Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men. 1 Corinthians 3:6 says I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

Luke 21:34 says And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting (hangover after drunkenness), and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Hebrews 2:1 says Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

Romans 13:11 says And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast of the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. Jesus said at Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Studying Nehemiah's 12 Gates To Learn About The Christian Life: The Horse Gate: Be A Good Soldier For Jesus Christ

noreply@blogger.com (brotherbob) — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 11:38:00 +0000

The Horse Gate

The eighth gate that speaks about the christian life is the horse gate. The horse gate represents warfare against the devil and the world in the christian life. After christians get saved at the sheep gate, witness Jesus everywhere at the fish gate, deny sin at the dung gate, get filled with the Spirit at the fountain gate, and daily study the Word of God at the water gate, christians need to be good soldiers fighting the good fight of faith against the devil and the world at the horse gate.

Whenever a horse is mentioned in the bible warfare occurs. Horses are fearless and rush into the battle with confidence ignoring any threat from the enemy. Job 39:19 describes the horse saying Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? Note that a grasshopper fears everything and will jump at the slightest noise. But a horse is fearless and rushes into a battle. The glory of his nostrils is terrible. He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.

Job 39:22 continues to describe the fearless horse saying He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword. The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield. He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet. He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. Christians need to be fearless like the horse realizing that with Jesus they can overcome the devil and this troubled world.

Christians Should Not Be Fearful

Christians Should Be Fearless With Jesus

Christians Need To Be Fearless Soldiers At The Horse Gate

Fighting The Good Fight Of Faith Against The Devil And The World

Christians should be fearless like the horse and good soldiers for Jesus Christ fighting the good fight of faith at the horse gate. Jeremiah 8:6 tells us that the fearless horse rusheth into the battle. Christians need to be fearless like the horse having confidence that with Jesus they will overcome the devil and this troubled world. 2 Timothy 1:7 says For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 1 Timothy 6:12 says Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Don't be afraid of the devil. James 4:7 says Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Proverbs 28:1 says The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

With Jesus, saved christians have the victory over the devil. Hebrews 13:6 says So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. If anyone gets saved with Jesus, Jesus will fight their battles and give them victory over any trouble from the devil or this world. Be like Jehoshaphat and trust Jesus to fight your battles and give you victory over the devil and this troubled world. 2 Chronicles 20:17 says Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.

Get Saved With Jesus And Receive Victory Over The Devil And This World

Get Saved, Repent, Decide To Stop Sinning

Confess That Jesus Is God, And Believe The Gospel

That Jesus Died On The Cross For You, Was Buried, And Rose Again

The horse gate is mentioned at Nehemiah 3:28: From above the horse gate repaired the priests, every one over against his house. Note that the priests repaired the horse gate. All christians are kings and priests that need to be good soldiers fighting the good fight of faith against the devil and this troubled world at the horse gate. Revelation 1:6 says that the Lord Jesus hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Keep Fighting The Good Fight Of Faith

And Sing The Words For Onward Christians Soldiers Hymn

Written By Sabine Baring-Gould in 1865

Onward christian soldiers; Marching as to war

With the cross of Jesus; Going on before

Christ the royal master; Leads against the foe

Forward into battle; See His banners go

Onward christian soldiers; Marching as to war

With the cross of Jesus; Going on before

At the sign of triumph; satan's host doth flee

On then christian soldiers; On to victory

Hell's foundations quiver; At the shout of praise

Brothers lift your voices; Loud your anthems raise

Like a mighty army; Moves the church of God

Christians we are treading; Where the saints have trod

We are not divided; All one body we

One in hope and doctrine; One in charity

Onward then ye people; Join our happy throng

Blend with ours your voices; In the triumph song

Glory, praise, and honor; Unto Christ the King

This through countless ages; Men and angels sing

Be A Good Soldier For Jesus Christ

Remember That The Blood Of Jesus, The Word Of God,

And Prayer Are Weapons To Defeat The Devil

2 Timothy 2:3 tells us to be good soldiers for Jesus Christ. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please Him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 2 Corinthians 10:3 says For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God, to the pulling down of strongholds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

After salvation with Jesus, the battle is not against flesh and blood. The battle is spiritual and against the devil and this troubled world. The greatest weapon to defeat the devil is the blood of Jesus. Revelation 12:11 says And they overcame him (defeated the devil) by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus), and by the word of their testimony: and they loved not their lives unto the death. Every day in Jesus name ask God's angels to bind the devil and send him to the pit of hell and to send the blood of Jesus over your home, car, and anywhere you travel. I guarantee you that the devil will flee and disappear because the blood of Jesus is a fence around you that the devil can not get by.

Ephesians 6:10 says Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Romans 13:12 tells us that God's armour is called the armour of light. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Note that an easy way to put on the full armour of God is to put on Jesus who is the armour of light every day by saying I am crucified with Jesus Christ. Jesus said at John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

Note also that the 1611 KJV Word of God who is Jesus will defeat the devil. Jesus spoke the Word of God three times to the devil saying It is written three times and the devil had to flee. Matthew 4:11 says Then the devil leaveth Him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto Him. Be encouraged because with Jesus there is victory in this spiritual battle against the devil and this troubled world. 1 Corinthians 15:57 says But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus has already defeated the devil at the cross of Calvary. The devil just tries to make people think that there is a game to play and runs out on the field wearing his playing gear. Just tell the devil to look at the scoreboard saying Game over devil. You've lost devil. There is no game to play. My Lord Jesus defeated you forever by the blood of Jesus shed at the cross of Calvary. Tell the devil Hebrews 2:14 that the Lord Jesus through death on the cross of Calvary destroyed him that had the power of death, that is the devil forevermore .Romans 8:37 says Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him (Jesus) that loved us.

Like The Horse Be A Disciplined And Confident Soldier That Wins The Battle

A horse bit disciplines a horse. A horse bit is a tool for communication with the horse. When a rider pulls on the reins, the bit applies pressure to the horse's mouth, This pressure combined with leg and voice cues, helps the rider guide and control the horse. James 3:3 says Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. Like horses, christians need to discipline themselves daily with prayer to deny their sinful flesh while they study the Word of God. Jesus said at Luke 9:23 If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

Like the horse, if christians discipline themselves daily with prayer and meditating on the Word of God, they will be confident and rejoice in their guaranteed victory over the devil and any trouble. Philippians 1:6 says Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. 2 Timothy 1:12 says For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day.

Places In The Bible Where Horses Represent Warfare Against The Devil

1) The Witch Athaliah Was Killed At The Horse Gate

2) The Lord Jesus Is Riding On A White Horse

When He Defeats The Beast Antichrist And False Prophet

Horses represent warfare against the devil when they are mentioned in the bible. A woman named Athaliah (daughter of the witch Jezebel and wife to King Jehoram) made herself a queen of the land for six years by destroying and killing all the royal baby boys. After King Ahaziah was killed by Jehu, Ahaziah's mother Athaliah was so wicked and killed all the royal babies and even her own children to take power and become a queen for six years. But a woman named Jehosheba, the wife of the high priest Jehoiada stated at 2 Chronicles 22:11, (aunt to King Joash) preserved the royal seed and hid baby Joash (son of King Ahaziah) from wicked Athaliah for six years.

Jehoiada and his wife Jehosheba hid king Joash for six years and constantly surrounded Joash with guards holding weapons to protect the child Joash from Athaliah. When Jehoiada proclaimed that seven year old Joash is king, after Athaliah cried Treason, treason, Jehoiada had the guards take Athaliah to the horse gate to be killed (the old hag or nag was killed at the horse gate) to avoid killing Athaliah in the temple. 2 Chronicles 23:15 says So they laid hands on her (Athaliah); and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there.

The story about Athaliah, Joash, Jehosheba, and Jehoiada is at 2 Kings 11:1 and says And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal. But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons which were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain. And he was with her hid in the house of the Lord six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land. And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the Lord, and shewed them the king's son.

2 Kings 11:8 further states And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in. 2 Kings 11:11 says And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along by the altar and the temple. And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king.

2 Kings 11:13 further states And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the Lord. And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried Treason, Treason. But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges (temple building): and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the Lord. And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain.

Finally christians will return to this earth with Jesus riding on white horses after the seven year tribulation to war against the Beast Antichrist and the false prophet at the battle of Armageddon. Revelation 19:11 says And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He (the Lord Jesus) doth judge and make war. Revelation 19:14 says And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. Revelation 19:20 says And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Studying Nehemiah's 12 Gates To Learn About The Christian Life: The Water Gate: A Message About The Word Of God

noreply@blogger.com (brotherbob) — Tue, 08 Jul 2025 12:40:00 +0000

The Water Gate

The seventh gate that speaks about the christian life is the water gate. The water gate represents the Word of God. Whenever you see water mentioned in the bible, it speaks about the Word of God. Paul said at Ephesians 5:26 That He (the Lord Jesus) might sanctify and cleanse it (the church) with the washing of water by the Word. Therefore at the water gate, christians need to daily meditate, read, and study the Word of God to defeat the devil and get victory over this troubled world.

Psalm 1:1 says Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. In other words if anyone daily studies and meditates on the Word of God, the Lord Jesus will fix all their worries, sickness, and troubles in this world.

Notice that the water gate speaks about the Word of God. Pictured above Ezra preached the Word of God at the water gate. Nehemiah 8:2 says And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month. And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from morning until midday, before the men and women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law.

The water gate is also mentioned at Nehemiah 3:26: Moreover the Nethinims dwelt in Ophel, unto the place over against the water gate toward the east, and the tower that lieth out. After them the Tekoites repaired another piece, over against the great tower that lieth out, even unto the wall of Ophel. The Nethinims drew water at the water gate for the house of God.

Notice that the Nethinims and the Tekoites built the water gate. The Nethinims were temple servants for the Levites related to the Gibeonites that hewed wood and drew water for the house of God after they deceived Joshua. The story of how the Gibeonites tricked Joshua can be found at Joshua 9. After Joshua came across the Jordan river, went around Jericho seven times causing the walls of Jericho to fall down, and defeated Ai, there was a group of people up in Gibeah who put on old raggedy clothes, old worn out shoes, and brought mouldy bread, acting like they'd been walking for hundreds of miles. The Gibeonites met Joshua and said we've traveled a long distance with worn out shoes, worn out clothes, and mouldy bread. The Gibeonites said Joshua please don't kill us and make peace with us.

Joshua did not enquire of the Lord whether to make a peace treaty with the Gibeonites and sinned by making a covenant to not harm the Gibeonites in the name of the Lord. Joshua 9:27 says And Joshua made them (the Nethinim Gibeonites) that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the Lord, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose. Later David also sinned and allowed the Nethinim Gibeonites to become his servants, allowing them to be hewers of wood and drawers of water. Ezra 8:20 says Also of the Nethinims, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, 220 Nethinims: all of them were expressed by name.

Notice that the children of Solomon's servants worked with the Nethinim temple servants on the house of God. Ezra 2:58 says All the Nethinims and the children of Solomon's servants were 392 (220 Nethinims and 172 children of Solomon's servants). The lowly humble Nethinims and children of Solomon's servants considered it an honor to belong to the house of God hewing wood and drawing water even though they served in the lowest office.

Like the Nethinims and the children of Solomon's servants, christians need to be humble and consider it an honor to serve the Lord Jesus and witness Jesus everywhere. Psalm 84:10 says For a day in thy courts (Lord Jesus) is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. Just to be in the presence of the Lord Jesus in heaven as a lowly doorkeeper would be an honor for any christian. For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

Notice that the lowly humble Nethinims lived at Ophel. The Hebrew definition of Ophel is an elevated hill. Like the lowly humble Nethinims, if you are a humble servant witnessing Jesus everywhere, the Lord Jesus will exalt you to the highest heights of Ophel. James 4:10 says Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up. Jesus said at Matthew 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. Be like the Lord Jesus who was willing to wash feet and is exalted with a name above all names because of His humility and obedience to die on the cross of Calvary to save lost sinners.

Very soon during the millennium, the Lord Jesus will be the King of all kings ruling on this earth with a rod of iron at Mount Zion in Jerusalem that will be the highest hill on this earth (higher than Mount Everest). Isaiah 2:2 says And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

The Tekoites who earlier built the fish gate also built the water gate. Like the Tekoites, after you complete a task for Jesus, continue to serve Jesus and be willing to complete new tasks for the Lord Jesus. There is no retirement when you witness about Jesus and save lost sinners. Note that the word Tekoa means trumpet blast from a shofar ram's horn for a battle signal. Be like the citizens of Tekoa and build God's water gate while you blow the trumpet of God's voice in Zion to save lost sinners for Jesus everywhere. Isaiah 58:1 says Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.

Like the Nethinims and the Tekoites, Brother Bob considers it an honor to witness Jesus everywhere to thousands of nations on this earth. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. Be willing to be a Nethinim servant for Jesus and when you are walking through Walmart, shopping at the Kroger grocery store, or dining at Cracker Barrel, if the Holy Spirit tells you to witness about Jesus to any lost sinner, tell them how to be saved. Don't be selfish. You might be the only Jesus that anyone sees on this earth. 2 Corinthians 3:2 says Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men.

Christians Must First Get Filled With The Holy Spirit At The Fountain Gate

Before They Can Understand The Word Of God At The Water Gate

Christians must first get filled with the Holy Spirit at the fountain gate before they can understand the Word of God at the water gate. After salvation, christians get filled with the Holy Spirit by daily looking to Jesus Christ crucified, reading and meditating on the Word of God, praying, and fellowshipping. Romans 8:2 says For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. In other words christians get filled with the Holy Spirit of life when they are in Christ Jesus looking daily by faith to the cross of Calvary telling the devil I am crucified with Jesus Christ. Phillipians 4:13 says I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

After christians are filled with the Holy Spirit, they will be able to understand the Word of God. Man's worldly wisdom without the Holy Spirit can not understand the Word of God. 1 Corinthians 2:11 says For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Before christians study the Word of God, they should get filled with the Holy Spirit through prayer and worship to Jesus Christ crucified who died on the cross of Calvary to save us from our sins. Lost sinners who are not saved can not understand the Word of God with man's worldly wisdom. Before Brother Bob got saved, the bible was foreign to Brother Bob who could not understand the Word of God. But after salvation, Brother Bob could understand the Word of God because the Holy Spirit revealed hidden mysteries from the Word of God about Jesus who is the Word of God (Revelation 19:13). 1 John 2:27 says But the anointing (the Holy Spirit) which ye have received of Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie; and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him.

Proud, Arrogant, Educated, Lost, Unsaved Sinners

Without Jesus Can Not Understand The Word Of God

Humble Christians Who Become Like Little Children

And Trust Jesus For Wisdom Can Understand The Word Of God

Proud, arrogant, educated, lost, unsaved sinners without Jesus can not understand the Word of God. Humble christians who become like little children and trust Jesus for wisdom can understand the Word of God. Ecclesiastes 4:13 says Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished. Become like a little child and allow the Holy Spirit to teach you the Word of God instead of man's worldly wisdom. God won't reveal the hidden mysteries of the Word of God to proud, arrogant professors who claim to know everything without God's help. 1 Corinthians 8:2 says And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.

Become humble like a little child always willing to learn new truths about the infinite wisdom from the Word of God. Don't claim to know everything. Brother Bob says the more I know the less I know because the wisdom in the Word of God is infinite. There's always something new to learn about in the Word of God about Jesus. John 21:25 says And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

The wisdom about the Word of God from the Holy Spirit flows forever from the fountain of living waters (the Lord Jesus) who forever reveals infinite mysteries about the Word of God. Man's worldly wisdom flows from broken cisterns that can hold no water and fail to reveal the truth about the Word of God. Jeremiah 2:13 says For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me (the Lord Jesus) the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns (man made wells), broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

Let the fountain of living waters (Jesus by His Holy Spirit) reveal the blessed wisdom to you about the Word of God. Without Jesus and the Holy Spirit, no one can understand the Word of God. Jesus said at John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. Only the Lord Jesus can bless us with living fountains of waters that are better than man's broken cisterns. Revelation 7:17 says For the Lamb (Jesus) which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Get saved and allow the Holy Spirit and not man's worldly wisdom reveal the blessed hidden mysteries in the Word of God. 1 Corinthians 2:9 says But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again.

Blessings Received From The Word Of God At The Water Gate

Note That This Is Not About Watergate And Richard Nixon

Note the many blessings received from the Word of God at the water gate. Ransack, study, and memorize the KJV bible and receive the following blessings. The 1611 KJV Word of God is perfect, converts the soul, makes wise the simple, is right, rejoicing the heart, enlightens the eyes, endures forever, is true and righteous altogether, better than much fine gold, sweeter than honey and the honeycomb, and gives a great reward if obeyed. Psalm 19:7 says The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

Christians should desire the sincere milk of the Word of God to receive good success in life. 1 Peter 2:1 says Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. The word success appears only once in the KJV bible telling us that when anyone meditates upon God's Word they will have success. Joshua 1:8 says This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Note some more blessings received from the Word of God at the water gate. The Word of God gives great peace and joy. The joy from the Word of God is better than finding buried treasure worth billions of dollars, winning the highest paid lottery, or winning $100,0000 on a game show. It's better to have great peace and joy from the Word of God than to be the wealthiest billionaire on this earth. Psalm 119:165 says Great peace have they which love thy law; and nothing shall offend them. Psalm 119:162 says I rejoice at thy Word (who is Jesus), as one that findeth great spoil.

The Word of God tells us that a little with the peace and contentment from Jesus and God's Word is better than the riches of many wicked. Psalm 37:16 says A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. Proverbs 15:16 says Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith. Proverbs 16:8 says Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right. Remember little is much when God is in it. One person plus Jesus is more powerful than the mightiest army on this earth. Romans 8:31 says What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Christians should desire to read, study, and hear the Word of God daily more than their necessary food. People eat three meals a day to strengthen their bodies. But christians need to feed their souls and spirits daily with the Word of God. Don't starve your soul and spirit and forget to meditate on the Word of God. Job 23:12 says Neither have I gone back from the commandment of His lips; I have esteemed the words of His mouth more than my necessary food. Be like Jeremiah and say Jeremiah 15:16: Thy words were found (Lord Jesus), and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.

The Word of God who is Jesus is above and beyond all books ever written past, present, and future like Niagara Falls is beyond the mill pond in power; like the Sequoia tree is beyond the roadside weed in majesty; like the wings of an eagle are beyond the wings of a sparrow in strength; like a skyscraper is beyond a dugout in height; like a tree is beyond a twig in fruitbearing; and like a cannon is beyond a popgun in far reaching power.

Note some more blessings received from the Word of God at the water gate. The Word of God keeps christians clean, removes guilt, and stops christians from sinning. Jesus said at John 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Psalm 119:9 says Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. Psalm 119:11 says Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Psalm 119:105 says Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

When was the last time you read, studied, or heard the Word of God? We should read, study, and hear the Word of God every day to be clean and stop sinning. Some people have not read, studied, or heard the Word of God for years. If you don't take time for the Word of God, you will sin and experience trouble. Make time early in the morning for prayer and studying the Word of God. The Word of God will give you great peace, stop sin, and add years of joy to your life.

Be like David and say Psalm 119:16: I will delight myself in thy statutes (Lord Jesus): I will not forget thy word. If you delight yourself in the Word of God, God will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4 says Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of thy heart.

Note that the Word of God is magnified about the name above all names (Jesus who is the Word). Psalm 138:2 says I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. This is why the devil fights the 1611 KJV Word of God the most with hundreds of false new translated bibles. The first thing that the devil attacked was the Word of God when he told Eve at Genesis 3:1 Yea, hath God said. Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

The Word of God is the truth that always existed from the beginning of time and will last forever. People, places, man's books, and this world will fade away. But the Word of God will remain forever. Psalm 119:89 says For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven. Jesus said at Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Therefore invest your time in studying the Word of God that will give you infinite rewards forever in heaven that will never fade away.

Studying Nehemiah's 12 Gates To Learn About The Christian Life: The Fountain Gate: A Message About The Holy Spirit

The Fountain Gate

The sixth gate that speaks about the christian life is the fountain gate. The fountain gate represents moving water and the Holy Spirit. Christians need to get filled daily with the Holy Spirit at the fountain gate to overcome sin and the troubles of this world. Jesus said at John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers (a fountain) of living water. But this spake He of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified. When God created everything, the Holy Spirit was a fountain of moving water. Genesis 1:2 says 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. This is why christians sing the hymn Every time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart, I will pray.

And Sing Every Time I Feel The Spirit I Will Pray

I Guarantee That You Will Have Peace And Be Strengthened

When You Sing This Song; Jesus Bless You All.

After a christian gets saved at the sheep gate, witnesses Jesus at the fish gate, respects the old blessed ways of the bible at the old gate, overcomes the troubles of this world in the valley gate, and gets rid of the dung trash sin from his former sinful life at the dung gate, he needs to fill up with the Holy Spirit and replace his past sinful habits at the fountain gate. Galatians 5:16 says This I (Paul) say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

To be filled with the Spirit, every day study and read the 1611 KJV Word of God, pray, and fellowship with other christians at your local church. Word, Prayer, and Church fellowship daily will stop a person from sinning and bless them. If a christian stops reading the Word of God, stops praying, and stops fellowshipping at church, he will sin. It's not enough to just confess your sins. A christian must also forsake and stop sinning. Proverbs 28:13 says He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

Christians need to stop sinning and get filled with the Spirit at the fountain gate to avoid trouble and death. Romans 6:23 says for the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Jesus left the Holy Spirit on this earth to comfort us and overcome the troubles of this world. Every day get filled with the Spirit while you read and study God's Word, pray, and fellowship, so you can overcome any worries, sickness, and troubles in this world.

Get saved and receive the Holy Spirit at the fountain gate

Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning,

Confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel

That Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again

The fountain gate is mentioned at Nehemiah 3:15: But the gate of the fountain repaired Shallun the son of Colhozeh, the ruler of part of Mizpah; he built it, and covered it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, and the wall of the pool of Siloah by the king's garden, and unto the stairs that go down from the city of David. Note that there were many workers who built the fountain gate and the Hebrew definitions of the fountain gate workers all represent the Holy Spirit. Shallun means prosperous and peaceful because his father Colhozeh was all seeing and blessed by the Holy Spirit at the city of Mizpah that was a watchtower.

I'll list the names of the other workers and their Hebrew definitions that built the fountain gate listed from Nehemiah 3:16-25 that represent the Holy Spirit. Nehemiah means God comforts because the Holy Ghost is the Comforter. Azbuk means strong devastation because the Holy Spirit fights our battles and brings strong devastation to the devil. Zechariah 4:6 says Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. The city of Bethzur means House of the Rock because Jesus the Rock is one with the Holy Spirit. When you get saved with Jesus you receive the Holy Spirit.

Rehum means God's compassion and tender mercy to the children of God. Bani means builder. Jesus left the Holy Spirit on this earth to bring compassion and tender mercy to saved saints to overcome this troubled world and build strength. Hashabiah means God has considered. The city of Keilah means fortress. Jesus considered his saints and sent the Holy Spirit to be a fortress and protect them daily.

Bavai means a wisher that receives the desires of his heart. Henadad means the favor and grace of God. Because the Holy Spirit gives saints favor and grace, they receive the desires of their heart. Ezer means helper and Jeshua means God is salvation. The Holy Ghost is our helper and our salvation to overcome any trouble. Baruch means blessed and Zabbai means pure and flowing. Christians get blessed by the pure and flowing Holy Spirit at the fountain gate.

Next let's look at the worker named Baruch who built the fountain gate. Nehemiah 3:20 says After him Baruch the son of Zabbai earnestly repaired the other piece, from the turning of the wall unto the door of the house of Eliashib the high priest. Baruch was special and went the extra mile when he earnestly repaired the fountain gate. Baruch didn't just repair the fountain gate. Baruch earnestly repaired the fountain gate. Let's all be like Baruch and earnestly witness Jesus everywhere going the extra mile to tell people about Jesus. Let's deny our sinful flesh and not be selfish while we make every effort to earnestly witness Jesus everywhere to save lost sinners on this earth.

The Lord Jesus noted Baruch's extra earnest efforts and will remember christians' extra earnest efforts with greater rewards at the Bema judgment seat after the rapture. Rewards at the Bema judgment seat of Christ are determined by what sort (quality or earnest amount of effort) that you sacrificed while you witnessed Jesus everywhere on this earth. 1 Corinthians 3:13 says Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort (quality) it is.

Remember that if you only served the Lord Jesus halfheartedly and chose to enjoy temporary selfish desires instead of witnessing Jesus, your rewards at the Bema judgment seat in heaven will be diminished. Therefore witness Jesus and help poor orphans and widows with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Let's all obey Mark 12:30 that says And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. Jesus said at Matthew 25:40 Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Note that Meremoth was like Baruch and went the extra mile witnessing Jesus. Meremoth who earlier built the fish gate also built the fountain gate. Like Meremoth, after you complete a task for Jesus, continue to serve Jesus and be willing to complete new tasks for the Lord Jesus. There is no retirement when you witness about Jesus and save lost sinners. Meremoth means exaltations, elevations, and heights with Jesus. Urijah means God is my light. Like Meremoth, let the Holy Spirit be your light to exalt you to higher heights while you continue to serve our Lord Jesus.

Note the Hebrew definitions of the other workers who built the fountain gate that represent the Holy Spirit and Jesus. Benjamin means son of the right hand who is Jesus. Hashub means considerate and thoughtful. With Jesus and God's Spirit christians become considerate and thoughtful. Azariah means the Lord has helped us with the Comforter Holy Spirit. Maaseiah means a worker for God under God's Holy Ghost refuge. Ananiah means God has answered by covering us with the Holy Spirit's protection. Binnui means built up. Henadad means favor and grace of God. Christians are built up by the favor and grace of God's Holy Spirit.

Palal means praying. Uzai means strength. Pedaiah means God has ransomed and redeemed us by the blood of Jesus. Parosh means leaping and jumping for joy. When christians keep praying, the Holy Spirit will strengthen them. Christians will leap, jump, and shout for joy because they have been redeemed and set free by the precious blood of Jesus that removed their sins forever.

When A Person Gets Saved They Receive The Holy Spirit At Salvation

They Can Not Lose The Holy Spirit Or Their Salvation

Once Saved Always Saved

When a person gets saved with Jesus, they receive the Holy Spirit and can not lose the Holy Spirit. The Father, Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are one. 1 John 5:7 says For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, The Word (Jesus), and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. When anyone receives Jesus, they also receive the Holy Spirit. You don't get saved with Jesus and then work to receive the Holy Spirit at a later date.

Note the following scriptures that prove that when a person gets saved they receive the Holy Spirit. Titus 3:5 says Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost. In other words when Jesus saves anyone they are renewed and receive the Holy Ghost. Romans 8:9 says But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His. In other words if a person does not have the Holy Spirit they are not saved. But when a person gets saved they belong to Jesus and have the Holy Spirit.

When a person confesses that Jesus is Lord to get saved, they say Jesus is Lord by the Holy Ghost and receive the Holy Spirit at salvation. 1 Corinthians 12:3 says Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed (a saved saint can not blaspheme the Holy Spirit; only an unsaved sinner can blaspheme the Holy Spirit): and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

John 14:26 tells us that the Holy Ghost is called the Comforter. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Jesus said at John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever. In other words after salvation with Jesus, the Holy Spirit abides with the saved saints for ever and they can not lose the Holy Spirit.

A saved saint in the church age dispensation of the grace of God can not lose the Holy Spirit after salvation. Once saved always saved for the church age saints. Jesus said at John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me: and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. Jesus said at John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all, and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

In other words I might look like a rooster but I ain't ever been plucked out of God's hand and lost my salvation. I'm not holding God's hand where I can lose my salvation. Jesus' nail scarred hand is reaching down and holding my hand forever with the promise that Jesus gives me eternal life that can not be lost. And I can't jump out of God's hand because I'm in Christ married to Jesus and bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh (the bride of Christ). Romans 12:5 says that we are in Christ as His bride. So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. 2 Timothy 1:12 also says that we can't lose salvation. For the which cause I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He (Jesus and not our good works) is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day.

Once saved always saved. You don't hope to have salvation, think you might have salvation, or wait to find out if you have salvation when you die; When you get saved and believe Jesus is God and the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again, you know right away presently that you have salvation and eternal life that can not be lost. Ignore people that say you have to keep doing good works to assure your salvation. If our good works saved us, we wouldn't need to trust in Jesus for salvation. Ephesians 2:8 says For by grace are ye saved through faith (in Jesus alone); and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

You don't work to be saved; You work because you are saved. I would not work my soul to save for this my Lord has done but I would work like any slave for love of his dear Son. We do good works after salvation (created in Christ Jesus unto good works) to let others see Jesus where later at the Bema judgment seat after the rapture we will receive rewards for our good works.

Jesus promised at John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my Word and believeth on Him that sent me hath (presently right now) everlasting life (that can not be lost) and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life. 1 Peter 1:5 promises Who are kept by the power of God (not our good works) through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Ephesians 4:30 says And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. When any saved church age saint gets saved and receives the Holy Spirit, they can not lose the Holy Spirit and are sealed unto the day of redemption (until the rapture when they receive glorified bodies and live forever with Jesus).

Even Though You Can't Lose The Holy Spirit After Salvation

Saved Saints Must Remain Full Of The Holy Spirit

To Overcome The Devil And The Troubled World

Even though you can't lose the Holy Spirit after salvation, saved saints must remain full of the Holy Spirit to overcome the devil and the troubled world. When Brother Bob visits the Shell station, he needs to fill up his Nissan Versa to keep it working. Every saved saint needs to daily fill up their vessels with the Holy Spirit by praying, staying in God's Word, and fellowshipping to have strength to overcome the devil and this troubled world. Ephesians 5:18 says And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess: but be filled (make full or fill to the full) with the spirit. Note that the Greek definition for being filled with the spirit is to make full or fill to the full. In other words the Holy Spirit always remains in a saved saint but daily needs to be replenished so the Holy Spirit can be filled to the full and overflowing to overcome the devil and this troubled world.

After you get filled with the Holy Spirit and overflowing with joy say Ephesians 3:20 Now unto Him (the Lord Jesus) that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. Say Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Say Jude 24 Now unto Him (the Lord Jesus) that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy.

Saved Saints Are Occupied By Jesus And The The Holy Spirit

With No Vacancy For Any Devil

Tell The Devil Occupied No Vacancy

A devil can not possess a saved saint and enter into him but a devil can oppress a saved saint and burden him. 1 John 5:18 says We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not (the saved saints' soul and spirit don't sin but his body (flesh can continue to sin); but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one (the devil) toucheth him not. No devil can enter, touch, or possess a saved saint's body. Saved saints reading this anywhere tell the devil I'm occupied by Jesus and filled by the Holy Spirit and there is no vacancy for you devil. Devil you can't touch me and when I resist the devil, the devil must flee. James 4:7 says Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Ephesians 4:27 says Neither give place to the devil. Jesus said at Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

The Fountain Gate Represents The Blood Of Jesus

That Washes And Cleanses Christians From Their Sins

While Jesus was dying on the cross of Calvary, a Roman soldier pierced his side. John 19:34 says But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced His side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. The reason that blood and water came out of Jesus' side is because the blood of Jesus washes away the sins of saved saints. Revelation 1:5 says And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood. 1 John 1 :7 says But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.

One of Brother Bob's favorite songs is There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Immanuel's veins; and sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains. Zechariah 13:1 speaks about the fountain of Jesus' blood that removes sins. In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. Brother Bob believes that the soldier that pierced Jesus' side got saved and washed by the actual blood of Jesus because Mark 15:39 says And when the centurion, which stood over against Him, saw that He so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

And sing the words below for the hymn There Is A Fountain Filled With Blood

There is a fountain filled with blood; Drawn from Immanuels' veins

And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains

The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day

And there may I though vile as he wash all my sins away

Dear dying Lamb thy precious blood shall never lose its power

Till all the ransomed ones of God be saved to sin no more

Eer since by faith I saw the stream thy flowing wounds supply

Redeeming love has been my theme and shall be till I die

When this poor lisping stammering tongue lies silent in the grave

Then in a nobler sweeter song I'll sing thy power to save

Studying Nehemiah's 12 Gates To Learn About The Christian Life: The Dung Gate

noreply@blogger.com (brotherbob) — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 13:01:00 +0000

The Dung Gate

The fifth gate that speaks about the christian life is the dung gate. At the dung gate christians live clean, holy, and sanctified lives while they deny the old sinful dung habits of their former sinful life. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Be like Paul and say Philippians 3:8. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ. And be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.

Daily deny your flesh and the old sinful dung habits of your former sinful life by studying the 1611 KJV bible, fellowshipping at your local church, and by praying. In other words Word, Church, and Prayer every day will overcome the devil and give you victory over your prior sinful dung habits. If you are not studying God's Word, attending church, or praying, you will start sinning and experience trouble. Luke 9:23 says And He (Jesus) said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

Decide to get saved with the Lord Jesus today and leave your prior sinful dung habits while you get washed clean by the blood of Jesus and become a new creature. After salvation with Jesus, it's a new day where your prior sins are forgotten forever by the Lord Jesus. People remember your prior sins but the Lord Jesus imputes and keeps no record of your prior dung sins after salvation. Romans 4:8 says Blessed (happy) is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

1 John 1:7 says But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin. The Lord Jesus is so much better than anything in this fading troubled world. Jesus said at John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Choose the peace of Jesus instead of the temporary pleasures of this troubled world. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again.

The Dung Gate Was Built By Malchiah The Son Of Rechab

The dung gate was built by Malchiah the son of Rechab. Nehemiah 3:14 says But the dung gate repaired Malchiah the son of Rechab, the ruler of part of Bethhaccerem, he built it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof. Only one named worker (Malchiah) was willing to build the dung gate and deny his prior sinful habits. The fewest number of workers built the dung gate. Even fewer than Hanun and the citizens of Zanoah who built the valley gate.

Not many christians are willing to be like Malchiah and deny the dung sins from this temporary troubled world and build the dung gate. Most people are lukewarm and enjoy the pleasures of this fading world while they claim to be christians. The church has become worldly and the world has become churchy. Either you live for Jesus or you live for the world. There is no lukewarm middle ground with Jesus. Jesus said at Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Jesus said at Revelation 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Don't be lukewarm loving this troubled world. Instead choose to live daily for our Lord Jesus while you deny your prior sinful habits and receive Jesus' peace that passeth all understanding.

Note the Hebrew meanings about Malchiah the son of Rechab who ruled Bethhaccerem, who was the only named worker at the dung gate. Malchiah means My King is God. Rechab means a horseman rider soldier who is fighting the good fight of faith. Bethhaccarem means the house of the vineyard where they make wine. Like Malchiah, if the Lord Jesus is king of your life, you'll want to get the dung, junk, and filth from your prior sinful life out of your life and live for Jesus. You'll obey James 1:21 that says Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity (wickedness and sin from your prior sinful life before salvation with Jesus) of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted Word, which is able to save your souls.

Malchiah was willing to deny his flesh and build the dung gate because he was the son of Rechab and honored the laws of holiness created by the Rechabites from his nation. The Rechabites taught their children to deny the sin of getting drunk with wine while they lived in tents instead of vineyards where wine was made. Malchiah was a ruler over Bethhaccarem (the house of the vineyard where they made wine) because he got the victory over the sin of drunkenness from wine while he lived in tents instead of Bethhaccarem and any house of the vineyard.

We learn about the Rechabites when they refused to drink wine offered to them by Jeremiah pictured above. Jeremiah 35:5 says And I (Jeremiah) set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine. But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab (whose name means willing to obey God) the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons forever: Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any: but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land where ye be strangers.

Jeremiah 35:8 goes on to say Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters; Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed: But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.

Be Like Malchiah And Don't Get Drunk With Wine Or Strong Drink

Avoid The Sin Of Drunkenness From Wine, Beer, And Any Liqour

The following scriptures warn us to avoid getting drunk from wine, beer, or any liquor. Proverbs 20:1 says Wine is a mocker; strong drink is raging; and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. In other words avoid getting drunk with wine or strong drink because it causes Jesus who is wisdom (noted at 1 Corinthians 1:30) to leave you. Proverbs 23:29 says Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red (fermented), when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.

When you walk through the grocery store don't look at the wine and beer bottles. Don't attend a sporting event where they pass beer down the aisle to spectators. Habakkuk 2:15 says Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness. 2 Corinthians 6:17 says Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Note that 1 Timothy 5:23 says Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities. According to this scripture, it's alright to drink just a little wine to heal sickness. But don't sin and drink excess (much) wine to get drunk when you are not sick. Ephesians 5:18 says And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess (called profligacy with reckless behavior); but be filled with the Spirit. Proverbs 23:21 warns us For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

Get Rid Of The Rubbish (Prior Sins From Your Past Sinful Life)

To Be Strong And Have Peace With Jesus

The builders of Nehemiah's walls and gates had to get rid of the rubbish sin at the dung gate in order to be a strong and effective witness for Jesus. Nehemiah 4:10 says And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall. Nehemiah's workers did not have strength to build the walls or gates until they got rid of their prior sinful habits before salvation. The temporary pleasures of sin in this troubled world are rubbish that decay and remove strength. Get rid of the rubbish sins you enjoyed before salvation with Jesus so you can have strength to be an effective witness for Jesus and win souls everywhere. Deny your flesh daily by studying God's Word, praying, and attending your local church. We must deny the sins of our flesh to be strong, survive, and overcome this troubled world.

Luke 21:34 says And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting (hangover after getting drunk), and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. 1 Thessalonians 4:7 says For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

Study The Following Scriptures To Help You Deny Your Sinful Flesh

And Receive Strength To Overcome This Troubled World

And Be An Effective Witness For Jesus

In order to be an effective witness for Jesus, we must daily deny our prior sinful habits before salvation with Jesus and live holy, clean, and sanctified lives. Decide today to surround yourself with God's Word, prayer, and fellowship with other christians. We can't even see the Lord Jesus until we deny sin and daily live clean, holy, and consecrated lives. Hebrews 12:14 says Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.

The temporary pleasures of sin will cause God to ignore your prayers. Psalm 66:18 says If I regard iniquity (sin) in my heart, the Lord will not hear me. Confess your sin to Jesus and the blood of Jesus will remove your sin and Jesus will give you confidence and grant your prayer requests.

Scriptures To Help You Deny Sin

And Receive Strength To Overcome This Troubled World

Ephesians 4:29 says Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth (stop swearing and cursing around people), but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind on to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Colossians 3:5 says Mortify (put to death) therefore your members (past sins of your flesh) which are upon the earth; fornication (sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman), uncleanness, inordinate affection (sinful lusts), evil concupiscence (desire for what is forbidden by God), and covetousness (greed to obtain money at casinos and with lottery tickets), which is idolatry (stay away from casinos where people gamble and worship money instead of the Lord Jesus). For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: In the which ye also walked sometime, when ye lived in them.

But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice (desire to injure), blasphemy (slander that speaks against God or a person's reputation), filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created him: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness (gentleness), longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity (brotherly love), which is the bond of perfectness.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him.

More Scriptures To Help You Deny Sin

And Receive Strength To Overcome This Troubled World

1 Peter 2:1 says Wherefore laying aside all malice (desire to injure), and all guile (deceit), and hypocrisies (fake acting with false words to obtain money like a lawyer), and envies, and all evil speakings, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the Word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

Daily study God's Word to stop all malice, guile, hypocrisies, envies, and evil speaking. The Word of God will wash you clean and give you strength to overcome your flesh and past sinful desires. Ephesians 5:26 says That He (Jesus) might sanctify and cleanse it (the church) with the washing of water by the Word. Jesus said at John 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

Scriptures Telling Us To Live Holy And Sanctified Lives

To Receive Strength And Overcome This Troubled World

2 Corinthians 7:1 says Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 1 Peter 1:15 says But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. Romans 8:13 says For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Titus 2:12 says Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldy lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Note that it is not enough to just confess your sins. You must also forsake your sins and stop sinning to receive mercy from our Lord Jesus and overcome your troubles. Proverbs 28:13 says He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. How comforting to know that 1 John 1:9 says If we confess our sins, He (Jesus) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Studying Nehemiah's 12 Gates To Learn About The Christian Life: The Valley Gate

noreply@blogger.com (brotherbob) — Sat, 31 May 2025 10:58:00 +0000

The Valley Gate

The fourth gate that speaks about the christian life is the valley gate. After getting saved at the sheep gate, witnessing for Jesus at the fish gate, and walking in the old ways at the old gate, christians should become humble at the valley gate pictured above. The valley gate represents the spiritual quality of humility and lowliness. James 4:6 says But He (the Lord Jesus) giveth more grace, Wherefore He saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. James 4:10 says Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up.

Become humble like Paul who said at Ephesians 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ. Become humble like John the Baptist who said at John 3:30 He (Jesus) must increase, but I must decrease. If you become humble giving the glory to the Lord Jesus, God will strengthen and revive you according to Isaiah 57:15. For thus saith the high and lofty one that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. God strengthens and revives contrite sinners who repent and decide to stop sinning.

Become humble, blessed, and strengthened today with our Lord Jesus

Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning,

Confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel

That Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again

Nehemiah 3:13 says The valley gate repaired Hanun, and the inhabitants of Zanoah; they built it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, and a thousand cubits on the wall unto the dung gate. Note that seven verses from Nehemiah 3:6-12 described the old gate but only one verse at Nehemiah 3:13 described the valley gate. Only Hanun and the inhabitants of Zanoah built the valley gate. There are not as many named workers at the valley gate as the number of named workers at the old gate. This is because most christians don't want to be humble. Humility is not a popular word among christians. Most christians like self approval with their name in lights. Instead choose to be humble where our Lord Jesus gets the glory and you will be blessed with joy, peace, and strength.

Brother Bob chose to be humble and build the valley gate giving our Lord Jesus all the praise. Brother Bob's name is not in the limelight and only Jesus gets the glory. Like Hanun and the citizens of Zanoah, Brother Bob lives in a poor humble, little apartment in Reynoldsburg, Ohio where Jesus gets all the glory. It's a great joy to write preachbrotherbob blog and bless half a million people in many countries everywhere with revelations about our Lord Jesus. Give your life purpose and meaning. Witness Jesus everywhere and rejoice when lost sinners get saved with Jesus.

Pictured Above Note That The City Of Zanoah

Was Located In A Valley

The inhabitants from the city of Zanoah helped only one person named Hanun build the valley gate. Joshua 15:33 tells us that the city of Zanoah is located in the low country valley of Judah. Therefore the citizens of Zanoah were humble and willing to build the valley gate. Joshua 15:33 says And in the valley, Eshtaol, and Zoreah, and Ashnah, and Zanoah, and Engannim, Tappuah, and Enam.

The Hebrew meanings for Hanun and Zanoah relate to humility. Hanun means gracious and Zanoah means to cast off. Hanun was gracious and humble, willing to build the valley gate because God gives grace to the humble. The citizens of Zanoah were humble and willing to build the valley gate because they cast off their sinful desires for their flesh and this fading world.

The inhabitants of Zanoah that built the valley gate were unnamed humble servants that allowed the Lord Jesus to get the praise and glory. The citizens of Zanoah obeyed Jesus' command at Luke 9:23 that says If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Be humble like the citizens of Zanoah, willing to work for our Lord Jesus, witnessing Jesus everywhere.

Cast off the cares of this world and the sinful desires of your flesh so you can effectively witness Jesus and save lost sinners souls. Luke 9:62 says And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Be like Paul who said at Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. The way to effectively deny your flesh and the temporary pleasures of this world is to study the Word of God, pray, and fellowship at your local church. Be like the citizens of Zanoah and cast off your sinful flesh and worldly desires while you study God's Word, pray, and fellowship. Then you will become a blessed witness for Jesus able to build God's valley gate.

Don't Be Like The Citizens Of Meroz Who Were Not Humble

The Citizens of Meroz Refused To Help God And Build God's Valley Gate

Don't be like the citizens of Meroz who were proud instead of humble. The citizens of Meroz refused to help Deborah and Barak fight against the Canaanite leaders Jabin and Sisera. The Hebrew meaning for Meroz is a secret isolated proud refuge. God cursed the proud citizens of Meroz because they refused to be humble and bless God's people at the valley gate.

Judges 5:23 speaks about the citizens of Meroz saying Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the Lord, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty. Don't be lazy like the citizens of Meroz and refuse to help poor widows, orphans, and God's preachers save lost sinners from this troubled world. Proverbs 23:21 says For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

Don't be proud like the citizens of Meroz and get cursed by God because you refused to help God's people. Proverbs 16:18 says Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 11:2 says When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. Proverbs 29:23 says A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. Proverbs 18:12 says Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humilty. Instead be humble like the citizens of Zanoah and be honoured forever in heaven and on this earth as a blessed soul winner that saved multitudes for our Lord Jesus.

The Many Benefits Of Being Humble And Willing To Build God's Valley Gate

Note the many benefits that christians receive when they are humble and willing to build God's valley gate. Proverbs 19:17 says He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. In other words if you just pity the poor (not pay the poor with money), you are working on God's timeclock and God will pay you with a great reward.

Take time to be humble and say encouraging words to everyone. A kind word could save a person's life. Proverbs 18:21 says Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Pray in the name of Jesus for any need, and God will fix any problem. Jesus said at John 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name (Jesus), I will do it. In other words if you are humble and live holy, you will ask for the right things and Jesus will do it and bless you.

Psalm 41:1 says Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. Notice again if you just consider the poor (not pay the poor with money), taking time to call, text, or email the poor with kind encouraging words of comfort and visit the poor, willing to help them overcome their troubles, you will receive the following benefits. The Lord Jesus will preserve you, keep you alive, bless you, deliver you from the will of your enemies, strengthen you, and heal you of any sickness.

But note that 1 John 3:17 says But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? In other words if you have the money to bless the poor, it's wrong to ignore the poor and not help them. To any millionaire reading this, remember that you can't take your money with you to heaven. 1 Timothy 6:7 says For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

Instead bless the poor and build treasure in heaven that will never fade away. Jesus said at Mark 10:21 if you give to the poor, you will have treasure in heaven. Jesus said at Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.

Jesus told the rich young ruler to give to the poor to build treasure in heaven at Mark 10:21: One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. Be like the millionaire CT Studd who gave away all his money to bless George Muller and his orphans with food and clothing, choosing to win souls to our Lord Jesus as a missionary in Africa. CT Studd said "Only one life twill soon be past, only what's done for Jesus Christ will last. Some want to live within the sound of church or chapel bell, but I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell."

If a billionaire wastes his money building space rockets that are useless, how dwelleth the love of God in him? I pray in Jesus name that these billionaires use their money to bless the poor and help needy widows and orphans on this earth. James 1:27 says Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. Jesus said at Matthew 25:40 Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

The Lord Jesus wants us to be humble, bow down, and only exalt the Lord Jesus. It's wrong to try to rise up into God's territory in space flying to the moon and Mars to only discover space rocks. What a waste of time and money. When Nimrod tried to rise up above God in space by building the tower of Babel, God confused Nimrod and his followers creating many different languages. Instead be humble and give to the poor and God will exalt you with many great blessings. Jesus said at Matthew 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased (brought low); and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

The Many Benefits Of Being Humble And Willing To Build God's Valley Gate

Another benefit of being humble willing to build God's valley gate is that God will hear your prayers and not forget your requests for mercy and deliverance. Just keep being humble with continual prayer requests and Jesus will grant and give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 9:12 says When He (the Lord Jesus) maketh inquisition for blood, He remembereth them: He forgetteth not the cry of the humble. Psalm 10:17 says Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.

Humility is related to the fear of the Lord. You can't fear God without being humble. A proud arrogant person does not fear God. Only humble meek people fear God. And when you fear God, you will become wise with Jesus who is better than silver, gold, rubies, and anything you could desire. With Jesus who is wisdom according to 1 Corinthians 1:30 and Proverbs 3:14-17 christians receive length of days, riches and honour, along with pleasantness and peace. If you choose to fear God and become humble by daily rejoicing while you keep praying and worshipping the Lord Jesus, God will also give you the desires of your heart.

Psalm 37:4 says Delight thyself also in the Lord: and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Keep praying and never quit serving the Lord Jesus. It's never a bad time to pray. Psalm 55:17 says Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and He (the Lord Jesus) shall hear my voice.

Remember if you just keep trying to attain your desires and don't quit, you will be victorious and accomplish all your goals. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they quit. Quitters never win and winners never quit. Psalm 55:22 says Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

The Many Benefits Of Being Humble And Willing To Build God's Valley Gate

Note some more benefits of being humble and willing to build God's valley gate. Proverbs 22:4 says By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life. When anyone is humble, fears the Lord Jesus and trembles with reverence at God's holy Word, the Lord Jesus will always be present with comfort, blessing that person with unspeakable joy.

Isaiah 66:5 says Hear the Word of the Lord, ye that tremble at His Word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified: but He shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. Hebrews 13:5 says Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

2 Chronicles 7:14 says If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. In other words when anyone becomes humble, repents, prays, and stops sinning, the Lord Jesus will heal and bless them. It's a blessing to be humble, receiving riches, honour, and life. Proverbs 3:34 says Surely He scorneth the scorners: but He giveth grace unto the lowly. Be more concerned about other people's needs instead of your own selfish desires. Deny yourself and be humble while you obey Philippians 2:3: Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.

Be Like Manasseh, Uzziah, And Jesus

Who Were Willing To Build God's Valley Gate

Manasseh got blessed after he humbled himself and was willing to build God's valley gate. Manasseh was a wicked king who caused his own children to pass through the fire, used enchantments, and worked with witches and wizards. But after Manasseh humbled himself when he was bound with fetters (chains), the Lord Jesus blessed Manasseh to become king again. It pays to be humble and fear God.

Read how Manasseh became a blessed king when he chose to be meek and humble. 2 Chronicles 33:6 says And he (Manasseh) caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. 2 Chronicles 33:11 says Wherefore the Lord brought upon them the captains of the host of the King of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon. And when he was in affliction, he besought the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, And prayed unto Him: and he was intreated of Him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord He was God.

Uzziah got blessed for being humble when he built the valley gate. 2 Chronicles 26:9 says Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them. Note that the Hebrew meaning for Uzziah is strength from the Lord. Because Uzziah was humble and allowed the Lord Jesus to give him strength, he was blessed to build the valley gate.

Be like Jesus who was the greatest servant to ever build God's valley gate when He was willing to die on the cross of Calvary to save lost sinners everywhere. Jesus got blessed for being humble when God gave the Lord Jesus a name that is above every name. Philippians 2:5 says Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth (the devil will bow to Jesus); And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Eventually every sinner (even the devil) will be humbled and bow to Jesus. It's better to bow now to Jesus and get saved being blessed to enter the peaceful kingdom of God. Don't wait to bow to Jesus at the great white throne judgment and be cursed with torment forever in the lake of fire. Isaiah 2:11 says that soon everything (people, angels, and the devil) will be humbled where only the Lord Jesus will be exalted. Isaiah 2:11 says The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord (Jesus) alone shall be exalted in that day.

If you want to have peaceful rest, be humble like Jesus, willing to build God's valley gate while you witness Jesus everywhere to lost sinners all over this earth. Jesus said at Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Therefore when christians become meek and humble, they receive peaceful rest.

Be Like Peter Who Was Willing To Build God's Valley Gate

Peter told us to be humble and willing to build God's valley gate to receive blessings. 1 Peter 5:5 says Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.

When you humble yourself in the low valleys of this troubled world, Jesus will bless you to overcome all your troubles so you can comfort others with wisdom to overcome this troubled world. 2 Corinthians 1:3 says Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

Jesus will bless you with unspeakable joy when you are willing to build God's valley gate by helping poor widows, orphans, and lost sinners hear your blessed preaching about Jesus. Hebrews 12:11 speaks about blessings received when you serve Jesus in the low valleys of this world. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Psalm 116:6 says The Lord preserveth the simple, I was brought low, and He (the Lord Jesus) helped me.

Be Humble Like A Little Child Willing To Build God's Valley Gate

And The Lord Jesus Will Give You A Great Reward

Be humble like a little child willing to build God's valley gate and the Lord Jesus will give you a great reward. Jesus said at Matthew 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. When we become humble like little children who often are unnoticed, the Lord Jesus will get the glory, remember us, and give us a great reward. Hebrews 6:10 says For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward His name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Studying Nehemiah's 12 Gates To Learn About The Christian Life: The Old Gate

noreply@blogger.com (brotherbob) — Thu, 22 May 2025 11:52:00 +0000

The Old Gate

The third gate that speaks about the christian life is the old gate. After getting saved at the sheep gate and witnessing Jesus everywhere at the fish gate, christians need to learn about the old paths of christianity at the old gate. Jeremiah 6:16 says Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Proverbs 22:28 says Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. Walk in the old paths for Jesus and witness Jesus everywhere. Tell people everywhere Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again.

We don't need a new ungodly way of reaching people with Jesus. The old blessed ways of reaching people with Jesus will save lost sinners. Keep preaching that the Lord Jesus was born from a virgin, died on the cross of Calvary, was buried, and rose again after three days. Keep telling people that the rapture will soon happen where christians will be caught up out of this troubled world to be with Jesus. Keep telling everyone that the most powerful weapon against the devil is the blood of Jesus. Revelation 12:11 says And they overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death. Ask the angels of God to cover your home, car, job, and everywhere you go in the blood of Jesus to overcome the devil. We can't see the blood of Jesus but the blood of Jesus is real and will overcome any trouble, worry, or sickness from the devil.

Keep telling everyone to look to the cross of Calvary to receive power to overcome the troubles of this world. 1 Corinthians 1:18 says For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but unto us which are saved it (the cross of Calvary) is the power of God. Keep telling the devil Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever, and my troubles have been destroyed by Jesus at the cross of Calvary. New songs for Jesus are blessed. But we should keep singing the old hymns to get blessed like Amazing Grace, Blessed Assurance, and Are You Washed In The Blood Of The Lamb (Jesus).

Only read the infallible, perfect 1611 KJV bible that has no mistakes. Tell everyone that any translated bible version like the NIV, NKJV, NASB, NLT, RSV, ESV, and hundreds of other false translated bibles should not be studied or read. These translated bibles deny that Jesus is God, the virgin birth of our Lord Jesus, and have errors. The devil attacks the KJV bible because God has magnified the KJV Word of God above the name of Jesus. Psalm 138:2 says I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for the truth: for thou hast magnified thy Word above all thy name. If it's new it's not true. If it's true it's not new.

The 1611 KJV bible is the best translation of the bible because it was the 7th English translation after Jesus died on the cross. Psalm 12:6 says The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. Note that the 6 prior English bible translations leading up to the 7th pure and perfect 1611 KJV bible translation are listed as follows: 1) Tyndale 2) Matthew 3) Coverdale 4) Geneva 5) Bishops and 6) Great Bible. Also 6 historical bible translations leading up to the 7th pure and perfect 1611 KJV bible translation are listed as follows: 1) Hebrew 2) Aramaic 3) Syriac in Antioch 4) Greek 5) Latin and 6) German by Luther.

Therefore preach, read, and study only from a 1611 KJV bible (purified seven times) that is the 7th best, pure, and perfect translation that God has preserved from this generation for ever. According to Revelation 3:10, the Philadelphia church that existed during 1611 KEPT and preserved the perfect KJV translation from this generation forever. The scripture says Because thou (the Philadelphia church) hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

Nehemiah 3:6-12 Speaks About The Old Gate's Ancient Paths

Nehemiah 3:6 tells us who repaired and built the old gate in Jerusalem. Moreover the old gate repaired Jehoiada the son of Paseah, and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah; they laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors thereof, and the locks thereof, and the bars thereof. Jehoiada and Meshullam built the old gate because they had godly fathers that walked in the blessed old ways.

Note the Hebrew meanings for the builders of the old gate. Jehoiada means God knows. Paseah means a lame limper like Jacob who said Lord Jesus I won't let you go until you bless me. Jehoiada built the old gate because Paseah taught him the old ways of never quitting by continual prayer. Meshullam means befriended and rewarded for being a peacemaker. Besodeiah means in the counsel or assembly of God. Meshullam got rewarded for being a peacemaker with many friends who built the old gate because Besodeiah taught him the old ways of fellowshipping and assembling together in prayer to receive power.

Nehemiah 3:7 names other builders of the old gate. And next unto them repaired Melatiah the Gibeonite, and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon, and of Mizpah, unto the throne of the governor on this side (beyond) the river. Melatiah means God delivered. Jadon means God has heard because the people were thankful. Meronothite means a joyful shouter. Note that Melatiah and Jadon came from the cities of Gibeon and Mizpah that walked in the old ways of God. Gibeon means a hill city located by Mizpah that means a watchtower.

Melatiah got delivered and Jadon who was thankful built the old gate because they remembered the old ways taught at Gibeon and Mizpah. They remembered to always watch and pray while they joyfully shouted about their victory over this troubled world. Luke 21:36 says Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. 1 Corinthians 15:57 says But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Note that Melatiah and Jadon built the old gate unto the throne of the governor on this side (note that the Hebrew meaning for on this side is beyond) the river. In other words the governor beyond the Jordan river of Israel in a foreign land allowed the old gate to be built in his country. This foreign governor and the people of Gibeon and Mizpah prospered because they respected Jerusalem and blessed Israel by encouraging people to build the old gate. Psalm 122:6 says Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. God told Abram at Genesis 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation (Israel), and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I wlll bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Remember any nation that blesses Israel and the Jews will be blessed. Any nation that curses Israel and the Jews will be cursed. It has been recorded that the reason that terrorists attacked and destroyed the World Trade Center in New York City USA on September 11, 2001 was because President George Bush had agreed with Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia to declare a Palestinian state in Israel on September 11, 2001. God did not allow this to happen because when any nation fights Israel, they fight against God and will lose. Zechariah 12:9 says And it shall come to pass in that day, that I (the Lord Jesus) will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

Planned To Make A Palestinian State on September 11, 2001

Per Agreement With Prince Bandar Of Saudi Arabia

The reason that New Orleans, Louisana suffered from Hurricane Katrina was because President Bush ordered all the Jews to leave Gaza, Israel. The day after the last Jew was ordered to leave Gaza, Israel, Hurricane Katrina landed in New Orleans, Louisana. It was wrong for President Clinton to give Gaza and the West Bank to the Muslims. The Jews don't just occupy Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank. The Jews own Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank. Genesis 15:18 says In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates.

Just days after President Barack Obama insisted that Israel must surrender lands it won through military victory with its enemies, around 200 people were killed by a tornado in Joplin, Missouri. Six of the seven costliest hurricanes in US History followed calls by US officials for Israel to make land concessions in bids for peace with its neighbors, and three of the four largest tornado outbreaks followed such calls.

Per God's covenant, Israel doesn't just occupy Gaza and the West Bank. Israel owns all the land from Egypt to the Euphrates river in Iraq including Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emerites, Yemen, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Gaza, and the West Bank. Per God's covenant with Abram, the Jews, and Israel, Israel doesn't just occupy this land. Israel owns this land. Therefore when any nation fights against Israel, they fight against God and will lose. All the saved saints will soon rule and reign with our Lord Jesus in Jerusalem during the kingdom of heaven on this earth.

Nehemiah 3:8 names some more builders of the old gate. Next unto him repaired Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, of the goldsmiths. Next unto him also repaired Hananiah the son of one of the apothecaries, and they fortified Jerusalem unto the broad wall. Uzziel means God is my strength. Harhaiah means fear of God. Hananiah means gracious. Uzziel received strength to build the old gate because Harhaiah taught him the old ways of fearing God to receive blessings. Hananiah received grace to build the old gate because his father was an apothecary (pharmacist) that offered sweet smelling prayers of incense to God.

The prayers of saints are offered with incense by angels before the throne of God. Revelation 8:3 says And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. Note that a censer is a vessel used to burn sweet smelling incense during a religious ceremony.

Nehemiah 3:9 says And next unto them repaired Rephaiah the son of Hur, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem. Rephaiah means God heals. Hur means a noble man washed white as snow by the blood of Jesus. Rephaiah who was a doctor using medicine built the old gate because Hur taught him the old ways about how the blood of Jesus washes away our sins and makes us white as snow. Isaiah 1:18 says Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Notice that all types of people joined together to build the gates of Jerusalem and witness the Lord Jesus everywhere. Pictured above goldsmiths, apothecaries who were pharmacists, doctors, rulers, priests, merchants and children all were willing to help build the gates of Jerusalem. Nehemiah 3:32 says And between the going up of the corner unto the sheep gate repaired the goldsmiths and the merchants. The gates of Jerusalem were not built by professional gatebuilders. The gates of Jerusalem were built by anyone who was available and willing to help build the gates.

Like the builders of the old gate, Are you willing to work for our Lord Jesus and witness Jesus everywhere? Christians might come from different backgrounds but christians have a common goal to witness the Lord Jesus everywhere. Christians should go the extra mile to encourage their brothers and sisters in the Lord. Galatians 6:10 says As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. Let's all obey Jesus' command at Mark 16:15 that says Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Like the goldsmiths, apothecaries, doctors, and rulers that built the old gate, every christian has a part in witnessing Jesus everywhere. 1 Corinthians 12:14 says For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole body were hearing, where were the smelling? But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased Him. And if they were all one member, where were the body? But now are they many members, yet but one body. And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary.

Don't Be Like Rehoboam Who Listened To The Young Rulers New Ways

Instead Of The Wise Elders Old Established Ways

Don't be like Rehoboam who listened to the young rulers new ways instead of the wise elders old established ways. Rehoboam forsook the old blessed ways and ruled the people with a heavy yoke with no mercy. God punished Rehoboam for failing to follow the old ways. Rehoboam lost ten tribes of Israel to Jeroboam where only Judah and Benjamin remained loyal to Rehoboam.

It's interesting that Rehoboam's Hebrew name means wide and broadened. Rehoboam chose the wide broad new way that leads to destruction instead of the strait narrow old way that leads to life. Matthew 7:13 says Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Don't be like Rehoboam and forsake the Lord Jesus and the blessed old ways. Choose to follow the blessed old ways of the KJV bible, get saved, and witness the Lord Jesus everywhere.

The story of how Rehoboam forsook the old blessed counsel of the old men is at 1 Kings 12:6. And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people? And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever. But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him. And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter?

1 Kings 12:10 goes on to say And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins. And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

Nehemiah 3:10 names some more builders of the old gate. And next unto them repaired Jedaiah the son of Harumaph, even over against his house. And next unto him repaired Hattush the son of Hashabniah. Jedaiah means one who is praised because he knows God. Harumaph means dull of understanding with no perception. Hattush means assembled and forsaking sin. Hashabniah means thinking about God. Hattush who assembled and forsook sin, was willing to build the old gate because his father Hashabniah taught him the old ways about always remembering God.

Even though Jedaiah's father Harumaph was dull of understanding with no perception, Jedaiah chose to follow the Lord Jesus after he learned the blessed old ways about God. Note that Jedaiah first repaired the old gate by his own house before he repaired the old gate around other people's houses. Like Jedaiah, first repair your own house and take the beam out of your eye before you try to take the mote out of your brother's eye. Don't find fault with other people when you have not considered your own faults. If you first forsake your own sinful ways, then you can help others to forsake their sinful ways. Remember that your worst enemy outside of the devil is yourself. Matthew 7:3 says And why beholdest thou the mote (twig) that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Be like Jedaiah and build the old gate around your house because your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost that needs to deny sin to receive peace and blessings from God. 1 Corinthians 6:19 says What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. Work on yourself and try to stop sinning every day by studying the Word of God, praying, and attending your local church. Every day when you look in the mirror tell yourself Now what are you up to today?

And while you build the old gate around your home, reverence and praise the Lord Jesus daily to receive strength and blessings. Remember that Psalm 127:1 says Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Jesus is the vine and christians are the branches. Without the Lord Jesus we can do nothing. Jesus said at John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Praise Jesus daily with blessed hymns and spiritual songs to get blessed. David played a harp for Saul and Saul was refreshed. 1 Samuel 16:23 says And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him. Ephesians 5:19 says Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.

Be like Jedaiah and build the old gate around your house by teaching your family to reverence and respect the Lord Jesus. Mothers and fathers teach your children to first learn to shew piety and respect to the Lord Jesus and the KJV bible at home. 1 Timothy 5:4 says But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety (reverence and respect to the Lord Jesus) at home, and to requite their parents (honor your parents by restoring them with kind deeds): for that is good and acceptable before God. Note the qualification for a bishop listed at 1 Timothy 3:4 that says One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity (being pure, holy, and reverencing the Lord Jesus). Proverbs 22:6 says Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Nehemiah 3:11 names some more builders of the old gate. Malchijah the son of Harim, and Hashub the son of Pahathmoab, repaired the other piece, and the tower of the furnaces. Malchijah means My king is the Lord Jesus. Harim means dedicated and devoted. Hashub means intelligent, thoughtful, and considerate. Pahathmoab means a governor of Moab who feared God. Malchijah who worshipped king Jesus was willing to build the old gate because his father Harim was dedicated and devoted to God. Hashub was intelligent, thoughtful, and considerate, willing to build the old gate because his father Pahathmoab was a foreign governor that feared God.

Note that Malchijah and Hashub repaired the tower of the furnaces. In other words they repaired the ovens and stoves for kitchens. They made sure that the kitchens of everyone's homes were dedicated to the Lord. Be like Malchijah and Hashub and dedicate your kitchen and your home to the Lord Jesus. Like the family pictured above dedicate your kitchen to the Lord Jesus. Every time you eat any meal with your family, pray and talk about the Lord Jesus and God's Word. Teach your children to always pray, bless the food, and thank Jesus for the food before you eat any meal.

Be like Brother Bob and dedicate your entire home to the Lord Jesus. Anoint all the doors of your house with olive oil in the name of Jesus. Place the name of Jesus in bold letters everywhere in your house: On the front, back, bedroom, and bathroom doors, on the refrigerator and freezer, in the attic, on your computer and cellphone, and in your car. The name of Jesus and the olive oil will protect your house and property from the devil and any theft or harm.

Jesus said that the name of Jesus will cast out the devil forbidding him to steal, kill, or destroy. Jesus said at Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name (Jesus) shall they cast out devils. Brother Bob has had the name of Jesus in bold letters on his front door wherever he lived for 40 years and nothing ever got stolen or harmed. Every time I close my door and see the name Jesus, the name Jesus gives me peace and comfort that my house is safe. The name of Jesus is better than any home security alarm for protection. Proverbs 18:10 says The name of the Lord (Jesus) is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

Nehemiah 3:12 names some more builders of the old gate. And next unto him, repaired Shallum the son of Halohesh, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem, he and his daughters. Shallum means to recompense and make whole or complete. Halohesh means an enchanter that whispered and slandered. Even though Shallum had a wicked father Halohesh who was an enchanter that slandered, Shallum feared God's old ways and built the old gate while he became whole and complete.

Note that the two rulers of the half parts of Jerusalem named Rephaiah and Shallum were willing to work with the citizens and build the old gate. Even though Rephaiah and Shallum were rulers, they rolled up their sleeves, pitched in, helped build the old gate, and witnessed Jesus everywhere. These rulers didn't just supervise. These rulers worked and built the old gate. Be like Rephaiah and Shallum, willing to work and witness for Jesus everywhere. Jesus said at Matthew 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. My title is servant Brother Bob.

Don't be lazy. Write about Jesus on the internet, help your local church pastor and its members, visit the widows, orphans, and senior citizens. and call people with kind words of encouragement. Note the following scriptures that warn us not to be lazy. Proverbs 20:13 says Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread. Proverbs 23:21 says For the drunkard and glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

Note that Shallum was a blessed parent that taught his daughters to serve the Lord Jesus and help build the old gate. Be a blessed parent like Shallum and make it a family activity to serve the Lord Jesus while you build the old gates by witnessing Jesus everywhere. To any woman reading this bible study, be like the blessed daughters of Shallum pictured above who were willing to help build the old gate.

Proverbs 31:10 says Who can find a virtuous woman (called a strong, efficient, and valiant woman)? for her price is far above rubies. I pray in Jesus name that any woman reading this will become virtuous, strong, efficient, and valiant by working and witnessing for Jesus everywhere like the daughters of Shallum.

Final Thoughts About The Old Gate

I conclude this bible study with some final thoughts about the old gate and remembering the old ways of Jesus and the KJV bible. Hebrews 2:1 says Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip (escape from our minds). In other words keep meditating on bible scriptures daily, lest at any time we should let them slip and escape from our minds. Ransack the KJV bible. Meditate on God's Word morning, noon, and night. Rejoice about God's Word like you found buried treasure. Say Psalm 119:162 I rejoice at thy Word, as one that findeth great spoil.

Don't be like the church of Ephesus who left their first love and forgot the blessed old ways of praying, witnessing for Jesus, and studying the Word of God. Jesus told the church of Ephesus at Revelation 2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

Finally be a good householder (master of your house) bringing forth out of your treasure things new and old. Matthew 13:52 says Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. The bible speaks about blessed new things. Christians will receive a white stone with a new name and dwell in a new heaven and a new earth in a city called the new Jerusalem.

But the bible also speaks about blessed old things. Keep singing the blessed old hymns and reading and preaching from that blessed old book called the 1611 KJV bible. The old ways of the KJV bible never get boring and outdated. There are infinite truths to learn about Jesus from the Word of God. The KJV bible is like a birthday present that is always new every time you study and read the bible. John 21:25 says And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written, Amen.

Christians will receive three names in heaven according to Revelation 3:12 (the name of God, the name new Jerusalem, and Jesus' new name). Jesus said Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. What a great joy to learn Jesus' new name in heaven.

Studying Nehemiah's 12 Gates To Learn About The Christian Life: The Fish Gate

noreply@blogger.com (brotherbob) — Thu, 15 May 2025 11:16:00 +0000

The Fish Gate

The second gate that speaks about the christian life is the fish gate. The fish gate represents witnessing and soul winning. After salvation at the sheep gate, saved saints should enter the fish gate and become fishers of men, trying to win souls everywhere to Jesus. Jesus said at Matthew 4:19 Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. Jesus said at Luke 14:23 Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. Proverbs 11:30 says The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

Be a soul winner for Jesus and a star that is remembered forever in heaven that is appreciated. Stars on this earth are forgotten. But soul winners in heaven are stars remembered forever that will hear lost sinners tell them "Thank you for saving us from hell and the lake of fire to receive peace forever with Jesus." Daniel 12:3 says And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

The only way to give your life meaning is to witness Jesus everywhere. I never met anyone that regretted getting saved with Jesus. Jesus always makes a person's life better. James 5:20 says Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way, shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. When you save a lost sinner, Jesus and the angels in heaven rejoice. Jesus said at Luke 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

A sign that you have salvation with the Holy Ghost from the sheep gate occurs when you have a desire to witness Jesus everywhere and save lost sinners. Jesus said at Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Let's all obey Jude 22: And of some have compassion, making a difference; And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Be like Brother Bob and witness salvation with Jesus everywhere. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again.

Nehemiah 3:3 speaks about the fish gate saying But the fish gate did the sons of Hassenaah build, who also laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof. Notice that many no name soul winners (the sons of Hassenaah) helped build the fish gate. These unnamed sons were humble and just lifted up the name of Jesus with no glory to themselves. When you witness Jesus be like these sons and John the Baptist saying John 3:30 He (Jesus) must increase, but I must decrease.

Note that the Hebrew meaning for Hassenaah is thorny one or hated one. Even though the father Hassenaah was thorny and hated, the sons of Hassenaah got saved and became witnesses for Jesus building the fish gate. Philippians 2:12 says that we all have to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. Even though a father is lost in hell, a son can get saved. Even though a mother is lost in hell, a daughter can get saved. These sons remind me of the sons of Korah. Even though Korah was wicked and rebelled against Moses, ending up in the pit of hell, the sons of Korah got blessed and saved forever in heaven. Numbers 26:11 says Notwithstanding the children of Korah died not. David dedicated Psalms 44-49 to the sons of Korah.

You might be a no name like the sons of Hassenaah but you can become a great soul winner for Jesus who is a great fisher of men at the fish gate. You don't need an educational degree or a popular name to witness Jesus everywhere. If anyone is willing, they can be a blessed soul winner for Jesus. Lost sinners in the world might say that you need a DD, PHD, Or BA from the seminary (cemetery) before you can become a soul winner. Tell these lost sinners that you're a DD (devil disturber) with a PHD (Pentecostal hairdoo) with a BA that is born again.

Be like Andrew pictured above and after salvation with Jesus, become a soul winner witnessing Jesus to your family and everyone. After Andrew got saved, Andrew witnessed Jesus to his brother Simon Peter and brought Peter to Jesus for salvation. John 1:40 says One of the two which heard John (the Baptist) speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, He said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

Note how humble and blessed Andrew was. We don't hear much about Andrew, but Andrew was responsible for blessing around 8000 people. After Andrew led Peter to Jesus, Peter saved 3000 people. And Andrew presented the little boy with two small fishes and five barley loaves to Jesus that were used to bless around 5000 people. Let's all be humble like Andrew, staying out of the limelight, where only Jesus gets the glory, while multitudes of lost sinners get saved and blessed.

Saved Grandsons Of Wicked Grandfathers Helped Build The Fish Gate

Saved grandsons of wicked grandfathers helped build the fish gate. Nehemiah 3:4 says And next unto them repaired Meremoth the son of Urijah, the son of Koz. And next unto them repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabeel. And next unto them repaired Zadok the son of Baana.

Note the Hebrew meanings of the blessed saved grandsons and sons that built the fish gate. These grandsons were glad to be soul winners for Jesus. Meremoth means exaltations, elevations, and heights with Jesus. Urijah means the Lord Jesus is my light. But Koz (Hakkoz) means a thorn. In other words even though the grandson Meremoth had a wicked grandfather Koz who was a thorn, Meremoth got exalted and saved by the witness that Jesus is the Light from his blessed father Urijah and became a soul winner for Jesus at the fish gate.

The Hebrew meaning for Meshullam is befriended and rewarded for being a peacemaker. Berechiah means God blesses. Meshezabeel has a bad meaning where one is drawn out because the false god Baal is exalted. Again we see that even though the grandson Meshullam had a wicked grandfather Meshezabeel who worshipped Baal, Meshullam had a blessed father named Berechiah and got saved and befriended by Jesus and was rewarded for being a peacemaker who became a great soul winner at the fish gate. The Hebrew meaning for Zadok is just or righteous. But Baana means son of affliction. In other words even though Zadok had a wicked father Baana and lived in affliction, Zadok got saved and became a witness for Jesus.

Like Meremoth and Meshullam, Brother Bob got saved even though his grandparents did not believe in the Lord Jesus. Brother Bob chose to be a blessed grandson with our Lord Jesus and write preachbrotherbob to save lost souls all over this earth reaching half a million people with a witness for our Lord Jesus. Remember choose to serve our Lord Jesus instead of false traditions that worship false gods and the temporary fading pleasures of this world.

Ephesians 6:1 says Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Notice that children should obey their parents in the Lord. In other words when your parents tell you to deny the Lord Jesus, disobey them and continue to serve the Lord Jesus. Brother Bob's parents told him to deny Jesus and stop reading the Word of God. Brother Bob disobeyed these requests and will serve and honor my Lord Jesus forever while I study God's blessed 1611 KJV bible.

But God wants us to respect and honor our parents as long as their requests don't dishonour Jesus and the Word of God. Today Brother Bob respects his parents while he continues to serve our Lord Jesus. Exodus 20:12 says Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

The Tekoites Of Tekoa Helped Build The Fish Gate

The Tekoites of Tekoa helped build the fish gate. Nehemiah 3:5 says And next unto them the Tekoites repaired; but their nobles put not their necks to the work of their Lord. Notice that the citizens of Tekoa repaired the fish gate while the noble leaders of Tekoa refused to repair the fish gate. Don't let the ungodliness from the noble leaders of your country stop you from serving the Lord Jesus. Be like the citizens of Tekoa and get saved with Jesus while you witness Jesus everywhere to win lost souls building the fish gate. Be like Rahab who feared God and helped Joshua's spies, refusing to obey the ungodly laws of Jericho. Be like Daniel who feared God and kept praying, refusing to obey the ungodly law that forbid prayer in Persia.

Note that Tekoa is 11 miles away from Jerusalem. Tekoa was the hometown for the prophet Amos. The citizens of Tekoa were like the citizens of Jericho and were willing to travel from Tekoa to Jerusalem to witness Jesus everywhere and build the fish gate. These citizens of Tekoa were willing to leave ungodly Tekoa and work for God in Jerusalem. Be like these blessed citizens of Tekoa and obey Luke 9:62: And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Keep your eyes on Jesus and off the people. Say Psalm 25:15: Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for He shall pluck my feet out of the net.

Unlike the nobles of Tekoa who refused to serve God, pray that your country will respect the Lord Jesus and make godly laws. Psalm 33:12 says Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance. Proverbs 14:34 says Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. Psalm 9:17 says The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. Note that the word Tekoa means trumpet blast from a shofar ram's horn for a battle signal. Be like the citizens of Tekoa and build God's fish gate while you blow the trumpet of God's voice in Zion to save lost sinners for Jesus everywhere.

Unlike The Nobles Of Tekoa, Nehemiah Was A Blessed Leader

Because He Was Humble, Helped Build The Fish Gate,

And Gave Credit To The Citizens And Not Himself

Unlike the noble leaders of Tekoa, Nehemiah was a blessed leader because he was humble, helped build the fish gate, and gave credit to the citizens and not himself. Nehemiah's name is not mentioned anywhere in Nehemiah chapter 3 because Nehemiah only gave credit to the citizens for building the gates of Jerusalem. A different worker named Nehemiah, the son of Azbuk is mentioned at Nehemiah 3:16. Nehemiah 1:1 says that the leader Nehemiah is the son of Hachaliah.

The leader Nehemiah gave all the glory to his workers that built the gates of Jerusalem. Nehemiah listed the names of many of his workers that built the gates of Jerusalem at Nehemiah chapter 3. Unlike Nehemiah, most CEO's of companies today are proud and have their names in lights instead of their workers. Let's all be humble like Nehemiah with our names in the background where only the Lord Jesus gets the credit while we encourage our brothers and sisters in the Lord.

Be Like Jesus Who Was Willing To Leave The Comfort Zone Of Heaven

To Die On The Cross Of Calvary To Save Lost Sinners

Be like Jesus who was willing to leave the comfort zone of heaven to die on the cross of Calvary to save lost sinners. Jesus left the glory of heaven and came down to a barn in Bethlehem. Jesus left the presence of angels to come down to the presence of sinners. Jesus left the continuous praises of all the host of heaven and came down to this earth to hear the curses of men. Jesus left all the beauty of heaven to come down to all of the ugliness of this world and die for sinners on a wretched cross.

Hebrews 2:14 says Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He (Jesus) also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. Jesus could have stayed in heaven and let everyone go to hell. But the Lord Jesus loved lost sinners and was willing to die on the cross of Calvary to save lost sinners. 1 John 3:16 says Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

Like the Lord Jesus, be willing to leave your comfort zones and witness Jesus everywhere. Jesus said at Mark 16:15 Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Be a good soldier for Jesus Christ and fight the good fight of faith. 1 Timothy 6:12 says Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

Become a servant like our Lord Jesus willing to witness Jesus everywhere. Jesus said at Matthew 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. Instead of having a title placed by your name like Bishop, Apostle, Lady, or Evangelist, tell everyone that you are a servant. Call me Servant Brother Bob willing to wash feet like Jesus who made Himself of no reputation so only the Lord Jesus could get the glory. Jesus told us if we are willing to be servants and wash feet, we will receive happiness, joy, and strength. Jesus said at John 13:17 after he washed the disciples' feet, If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

Studying Nehemiah's 12 Gates To Learn About The Christian Life: The Sheep Gate

noreply@blogger.com (brotherbob) — Wed, 07 May 2025 12:24:00 +0000

The Sheep Gate

The first gate that speaks about the christian life is the sheep gate. The sheep gate represents Jesus and salvation. Jesus said at John 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth His life for the sheep (lost sinners). To become a christian you must first trust Jesus to save you. Jesus said at John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again.

Nehemiah 3:1 speaks about the sheep gate and says Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests, and they builded the sheep gate; they sanctified it, and set up the doors of it; even unto the tower of Meah they sanctified it, unto the tower of Hananeel. Notice that the high priest Eliashib built the sheep gate for salvation. The high priest of our profession is Jesus Christ who offers salvation. Hebrews 3:1 says Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus. Consider our high priest forever (Jesus), who is the only one that offers eternal salvation. Acts 4:12 says Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name (Jesus) under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

There Are No Locks Or Bars On The Sheep Gate

Most Of Nehemiah's Other Gates Have Locks and Bars

Salvation With Jesus Is Free And Open To Everyone At The Sheep Gate

The sheep gate is the only gate listed by Nehemiah that has no locks or bars. Most of Nehemiah's other gates have locks and bars. The way of salvation is free and open to everyone at the sheep gate who calls upon the name of Jesus. I'm glad that the sheep gate isn't locked and doesn't bar salvation with Jesus. Romans 10:13 says For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord (Jesus) shall be saved. Revelation 22:17 says 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. Jesus said at John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

Your salvation with Jesus is not determined by your social position, economic status, or your family background. Jesus Christ offers salvation to everyone. 2 Peter 3:9 says The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Jesus offers salvation to rich, poor, male, female, black, and white. Red, yellow, black, and white. They're all precious in His sight. Galatians 3:28 says There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

The People That Built The Sheep Gate Were Doers

And Not Just Hearers About Salvation

Don't Just Say You'll Get Saved Tomorrow

Get Saved Today And Be A Doer Of God's Word

The people that built the sheep gate didn't just say they would build the sheep gate. These people rose up and built the sheep gate. First people just said they would build the sheep gate at Nehemiah 2:17: Then said I (Nehemiah) unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach. Then the people were blessed and rose up and built the sheep gate. Nehemiah 3:1 says Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests, and they builded the sheep gate; they sanctified it, and set up the doors of it; even unto the tower of Meah they sanctified it, unto the tower of Hananeel.

Be like Eliashib and the people that built the sheep gate. Keep your word and get saved while you always work for Jesus and offer salvation everywhere. Psalm 15:4 says when a person keeps his word he will never be moved. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not shall never be moved. Take time to read Psalm 15 and keep your word, get saved, and witness Jesus everywhere.

Psalm 15 says Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbor, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned (despised); but he honoureth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. He that putteth not his money to usury nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

Jesus Isn't Looking For Professors; Jesus Is Looking For Possessors

Who Keep Their Word And Get Saved And Witness Jesus Everywhere

Jesus spoke a parable about two sons' promises to work in a vineyard for their father. The first son said he would not work but then did work. The second son said he would work but then did not work. Jesus said that the first son who eventually worked after repentance did the will of the Father and got blessed. The second son who was all talk and no work did not do the will of the Father and was not blessed. A lot of people talk and do nothing for Jesus. Instead repent and work for Jesus because only what we do for Jesus (and not just say for Jesus) matters.

Jesus spoke the parable of the two sons at Matthew 21:28: But what think ye? A certain man had two sons (pictured above); and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. Whether of them twain did the will of the father? They say unto Him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. For John came unto you (chief priests and elders) in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

Don't just say that you will get saved tomorrow. Keep your word and get saved today. 2 Corinthians 6:2 says For He (Jesus) saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. And after you get saved be a doer of God's Word and daily live for Jesus denying sin. James 1:23 says For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty (God's Word), and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer. but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. Proverbs 28:13 says He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

The Sheep Gate Is The Only Gate That Is Sanctified

Nehemiah's Other Gates Were Not Sanctified

After Salvation At The Sheep Gate Comes Sanctification

The sheep gate is the only gate that is sanctified. Nehemiah's other gates were not sanctified. Nehemiah 3:1 says Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests, and they builded the sheep gate; they sanctified it, and set up the doors of it; even unto the tower of Meah they sanctified it, unto the tower of Hananeel. After salvation at the sheep gate with Jesus comes sanctification where saved saints are set apart from the world to live holy for Jesus. Hebrews 10:10 says By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

1 Corinthians 6:11 says And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. Jesus is our sanctification according to 1 Corinthians 1:30: But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.

After salvation saved saints become sanctified strangers and pilgrims in this world. 1 Peter 2:11 says Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against your soul. This world is not my home, I'm just a passing through, My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue, The angels beckon me from heaven's open door, And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.

Note that the sheep gate was sanctified from the tower of Meah unto the tower of Hananeel. The Hebrew meanings for Meah and Hananeel are hundredfold and God's favour and mercifulness. Therefore after salvation with Jesus at the sheep gate, saved saints receive a hundredfold blessing because of God's favour and mercifulness. Also note the Hebrew meaning for Eliashib who built the sheep gate is God restores. Therefore after salvation with Jesus at the sheep gate, the Lord Jesus will restore saved saints and strengthen them to witness Jesus everywhere on this earth.

Be Like The People Of Jericho

Be Willing To Press To Jesus For Salvation

And Overcome This Troubled World

Be like the people of Jericho. Jericho is 18 miles from Jerusalem. Jericho is 3500 feet lower than Jerusalem. Therefore one has to make an 18 mile uphill climb to travel from Jericho to Jerusalem. The people of Jericho were willing to walk 18 miles uphill from Jericho to Jerusalem to help build the sheep gate and get saved. Nehemiah 3:2 says And next unto him builded the men of Jericho. And next to them builded Zaccur the son of Imri. Salvation with Jesus is the best gift anyone can receive in this life. It's worth sacrificing everything to receive salvation with Jesus like the people of Jericho.

Be willing to press to Jesus for salvation like the people of Jericho and overcome this troubled world. Note that the Jericho road is barren, desolate, and dangerous with thieves. Luke 10:30 says And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho (proving that Jericho is 3500 feet lower than Jerusalem), and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment (clothing), and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. A priest and a Levite refused to help this man. But a good Samaritan had compassion on this man. The good Samaritan took care of this man and paid the host of an inn to provide shelter for this man.

The people of Jericho pressed to Jesus for salvation over the barren, desolate, uphill, and dangerous Jericho road to help build the sheep gate and get saved with Jesus. Philippians 3:13 says Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Like the people of Jericho, it's worth pressing to Jesus for salvation. Jesus is better than anything in this world. Like Paul, after salvation with Jesus you'll rejoice and say Philippians 3:8: Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ.

Note that salvation with Jesus at the sheep gate reached outside of Jerusalem to the people of Jericho. Jesus wants us to offer salvation to Jerusalem, Jericho, and everywhere on this earth. Jesus said at Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Mark 16:15 says And He (Jesus) said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Finally note that Zaccur the son of Imri helped build the sheep gate. The Hebrew meaning for Zaccur is mindful and remembered. The Hebrew meaning for Imri is eloquent words that are spoken. Therefore Zaccur was blessed to help build the sheep gate and get saved with Jesus when he was mindful and remembered the eloquent words spoken by his father Imri about the Lord Jesus.

Be like Zaccur and receive the perfect peace of Jesus with your mind stayed on Jesus. Isaiah 26:3 says Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee (the Lord Jesus): because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.

Who Are The 24 Elders?

noreply@blogger.com (brotherbob) — Thu, 01 May 2025 10:48:00 +0000

Who Are The 24 Elders?

To understand who the 24 Elders are we must see how the book of Revelation describes the 24 Elders and the throne of God. The 24 Elders sit in 24 seats or thrones around the throne of God. The seven lamps of fire are the closest to the throne of God with the two olive trees (Moses and Elijah). Jesus gave us a preview of the throne of God on the Mount of Transfiguration when He appeared transfigured with Moses and Elijah. Next the four beasts (lion, eagle, ox, and man) surround the throne of God forever saying Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. Next the 24 Elders surround the throne of God forever saying Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Finally ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands (innumerable) angels surround the throne of God forever worshipping and praising our Lord Jesus.

Revelation 4:4 describes the 24 Elders. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats (thrones): and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. The 24 Elders rule like kings on thrones with crowns of gold. Revelation 4:9 says And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to Him that sat on the throne (Jesus), who liveth for ever and ever, The four and twenty elders fall down before Him that sat on the throne, and worship Him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Revelation 5:8-10 describes the 24 Elders. And when He (Jesus) had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

Note that along with the 24 Elders, all saved christians will rule like kings and priests on thrones in the kingdom of God. Revelation 1:5 says And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

How The Book Of Revelation Describes The 24 Elders

1) The 24 Elders have harps and sing praises forever to our Lord Jesus

2) The 24 Elders offer the prayers of saints to the Lord Jesus in golden vials

3) The 24 Elders sit like kings on thrones with crowns of gold around the throne of God

Who Are The 24 Elders?

1 Chronicles 25:8-31 Lists The 24 Names Of The 24 Elders

1 Chronicles 25:8-31 lists the 24 Names of the 24 Elders. The 24 Elders represent 288 singers according to 1 Chronicles 25:7: The number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the Lord, even all that were cunning, was 288.. Every Elder represents 12 of his sons and brethren. It's interesting that 24x12=288.

Note the following reasons why the 24 names listed in 1 Chronicles 25:8-31 are the names of the 24 Elders in heaven. 1) These 24 Elders play harps and sing to the Lord Jesus. This is like the 24 Elders in heaven that play harps and sing to the Lord Jesus. 1 Chronicles 25:6 says All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king's order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.

2) These 24 Elders offer the prayers of their 12 sons and brethren. This is like the 24 Elders in heaven that offer golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of the saints to the Lord Jesus. 3) These 24 elders are saved and will become kings and priests sitting on thrones in heaven with crowns that they offer in praise and worship to Jesus. 4) These 24 Elders all have Hebrew names of praise and worship to our Lord Jesus. 5) These 24 Elders are chosen by grace and are not the 24 priests listed at 1 Chronicles 24:7-18 under the curse of the law.

The 24 Priests Listed At 1 Chronicles 24:7-18 Are Not The 24 Elders In Heaven

These 24 Priests Are Under The Curse Of The Law

Therefore The 24 Singers With Harps Under Grace

Listed At 1 Chronicles 25:9-31 Are The 24 Elders In Heaven

The 24 names of the priests listed at 1 Chronicles 24:7-18 are not the 24 elders in heaven because they represent the curse of the law that no longer exists after salvation with our Lord Jesus. Romans 10:4 says For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. The letter was only a schoolmaster to reveal sin and bring us to Jesus, that we might be justified by faith. Galatians 3:24 says Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

To get saved with Jesus we no longer have to keep the law with works. Salvation with Jesus occurs by faith in the finished work that Jesus did at the cross of Calvary. Ephesians 2:8 says For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Titus 3:5 says Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost. Christians do good works after salvation to shine Jesus to lost sinners and receive rewards at the Bema judgment seat. Ephesians 2:10 says For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Galatians 2:21 says I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Get Saved, Repent, Decide To Stop Sinning,

That Jesus Died On The Cross For You, Was Buried, And Rose Again

Are You Going A Little Farther With Jesus? How Far Are You Willing To Go With Jesus?

noreply@blogger.com (brotherbob) — Tue, 22 Apr 2025 11:33:00 +0000

Are You Going A Little Farther With Jesus?

How Far Are You Willing To Go With Jesus?

Our Lord Jesus went a little farther for everyone when He died on the cross of Calvary to remove our sins. Jesus went a little farther in the garden of Gethsemane and was willing to suffer and die on the cross to remove our sins. Our Lord Jesus is the leader of the little farther crowd. Matthew 26:39 says And He (Jesus) went a little farther, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

If you want to be a blessing in this world you'll have to go a little farther like Jesus. You'll have to continue to witness Jesus while you ignore sufferings and persecutions. To be an effective witness for our Lord Jesus, remember Jesus' guidelines for perseverance. 1 Peter 2:21 says For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps: Who did not sin, neither was guile found in His mouth: Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously.

In other words when you suffer for Jesus, don't threaten but let go and let God. Daily say I am crucified with Jesus Christ and see your troubles destroyed on the cross of Calvary. Jesus is the vine and we are the branches. Without Jesus we can do nothing. Jesus said at John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same briingeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Are you willing to be like Jesus and go a little farther with Jesus? Are you willing to witness Jesus more? Are you willing to read and study your bible more? Are you willing to bless orphans and widows more? How far are you willing to go with Jesus? On July 12, 1982 Brother Bob decided to go a little farther with Jesus. Brother Bob left his entire orthodox Jewish family and millions of dollars to witness Jesus everywhere. Brother Bob started writing preachbrotherbob on July 24, 2011 and around 500 bible studies have blessed half a million people everywhere with untold numbers of souls getting saved for our Lord Jesus in Africa, Asia, Europe, and everywhere.

Decide to go a little farther today with Jesus

Study your bible more. Ransack the KJV bible

BIBLE-Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth

To be an effective witness for Jesus you'll have to go a little farther than most church members. Do more than just be born, eat, sleep, work, reproduce, attend church, and die. Don't be like Solomon Grundy. Born on Monday, christened on Tuesday, married on Wednesday, feeble on Thursday, worse on Friday, died on Saturday, buried on Sunday. Thus ends the life of Solomon Grundy.

Most people who attend church are not saved and just work and take care of their families. Just because a person walks down an aisle, shakes a six foot spiritual icicle's hand, does some good works, answers some questions, gets dunked in the pool, and blends in with the crowd will not save him. If I walk into a garage, that doesn't make me a car. If I walk into a barn, that doesn't make me a mule. If I walk into a bakery, that doesn't make me a donut. I might look like one, but that doesn't make me a donut. And if I walk into a church, that doesn't make me a christian.

Salvation is not in a plan. Salvation is in a person named Jesus. Instead of religion, get a relationship with a Saviour named Jesus to get saved. Not the blood of Jesus plus works. Not the blood of Jesus plus wafers. Not the blood of Jesus plus water. But it's the blood of Jesus plus nothing that saves. Jesus said at John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Acts 4:12 says Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name (Jesus) under heaven given among men, where by we must be saved.

Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning,

Confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel

That Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again

Are You Going A Little Farther With Jesus?

How Far Are You Willing To Go With Jesus?

1) Be like Paul and Silas Who Went A Little Farther With Jesus

Be like Paul and Silas who went a little farther with Jesus. Keep singing and praising Jesus through persecutions and sufferings. Paul and Silas kept singing and praising Jesus during the midnight hour in a Philippian jail cell. Because Paul and Silas went a little farther for Jesus, the prisoners were set free by an earthquake. Then Paul blessed his enemy and saved the jailor. The jailor then washed the stripes that he had placed earlier on Paul and Silas. God had Paul's former enemy (the jailor) become a blessing to Paul and Silas. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. There was rejoicing, releasing, restraining, and regeneration. After Paul and Silas rejoiced in the midnight hour, an earthquake released the prisoners, the Holy Ghost restrained the prisoners, and the jailor got regenerated and saved.

Be like Paul and Silas and keep praising Jesus through any persecution or trouble on this earth. Most people in church won't even lift up their hands to praise Jesus or say a faint Amen. Go a little farther with Jesus and don't worry about what people say when you praise Jesus. Keep your eyes on Jesus and off the people. They're going to talk about you anyway. Give them something good to talk about and leap for joy while you give them a Forrest Gump and run the aisles in every church for our Lord Jesus. If anyone says you talk too much about Jesus, respond Correction, I need to talk more about Jesus and thanks for the compliment. Get in the glory at least one time in your life and get the I can't help its. Tell everyone I can't help it, I got to shout and praise Jesus while I leap for joy.

Acts 16:23 says And when they had laid many stripes upon them (Paul and Silas), they cast them into the prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every ones' bands were loosed.

Pictured above, preacher John Jasper of Richmond, Virginia in the 1800s preached the following message about Paul and Silas praising Jesus during the midnight hour in a Phillipian jail cell. When Jesus heard the blessed singing and praise from Paul and Silas from the jail cell during the midnight hour, Jesus told innumerable angels to start singing soprano and alto along with Paul and Silas. And when the singing got so glorious in heaven, the Lord Jesus hit that bass note. And when Jesus hit that bass note, the world thought that it was an earthquake. And the jailhouse fell all to pieces and set the captive free.

Be like Paul and Silas and go a little farther for Jesus, singing and praising Jesus to overcome the troubles of this life. Listen to praise and worship music exalting Jesus to heal, bless, and give you strength to overcome the troubles of this world. Ephesians 5:19 says Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.

Psalm 22:3 says But thou art holy, O thou (Lord Jesus) that inhabitest the praises of Israel. In other words when you just listen to praise and worship music while you glorify Jesus, God will dwell with you and strengthen you. Saul just listened to David playing a harp and was refreshed and healed while evil spirits had to flee. 1 Samuel 16:23 says And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

And Sing The Words Below For I Want Us To Be Together In Heaven

You may have a fancy car; A brand new house that shines by far

You may live to be 100 years old;

But if you have not been saved; It all ends with the grave

But I want us to be together in heaven

I want us to be together in heaven

I want to walk down the streets of pure gold

I want to run through the fields of green clover

See the mansions, Smell the flowers, Hear the singing, It's all ours

See the river gently flowing, Feel the gentle breezes blowing

I want us to be together in heaven

You may be a millionaire; Wearing clothes beyond compare

You may have the best that money can buy

But if the blood was not applied; Then in hell you'll lift your eyes

But I want us to be together in heaven

Oh my friends from near and far; It don't matter who you are

As you sorrow from my passing from here

There's a work for all to do; Labor on till life is through

Cause I want us to be together in heaven

Are You Going A Little Farther With Jesus?

How Far Are You Willing To Go With Jesus?

2) Be like Daniel Who Went A Little Farther With Jesus

Be like Daniel who went a little farther with Jesus. The king of Persia made a decree that if any man prayed to the God of Israel, that man would be cast into a den of lions. Instead of praying in secret in a closet, Daniel decided to go a little farther with Jesus and opened his windows toward Jerusalem. Daniel let everyone see him praying with supplication three times every day begging God for mercy. God blessed Daniel and delivered him from the den of lions. Like Daniel, obey God's Word instead of any law that disobeys God's Word. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says Pray without ceasing. Keep praying at all times and like Daniel disobey any law that tells you to stop praying.

Like Daniel, Brother Bob used to always pray on my government job and place the name Jesus in my office area. One supervisor told me that because of separation of church and state I need to take down the name Jesus in my office. I disobeyed this supervisor and kept the name Jesus posted in my office for 34 years. One time a coworker told Brother Bob "You need to take the name Jesus down because it might offend someone." I told that coworker "Does it offend you?" When she said No, Brother Bob told that coworker "Have a blessed day in the name of Jesus." And when that coworker retired, she got saved and gave me books and magazines about Jesus.

The story about how Daniel went a little farther with Jesus and kept praying is at Daniel 6:7: All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions. Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. Wherefore King Darius signed the writing and the decree.

Daniel 6:10 goes on to say Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house, and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.

Like Daniel, go a little farther with Jesus and don't be ashamed to testify about Jesus on the street, in the prisons, and in the nursing homes, praying everywhere to save lost sinners while you lift up the name of Jesus. Jesus said at Luke 9:26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when He shall come in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels. Jesus said at Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Daniel was willing to die for the Lord Jesus and said I'm going to keep praying three times daily with my windows open toward Jerusalem and disobey the king's ungodly decree even if they throw me into the den of lions. Jesus said at Mark 8:35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

Like Daniel, Brother Bob is willing to lose his life for Jesus. Brother Bob has had death threats from Muslims saying if I keep writing that Jesus is God, they will kill Brother Bob. Brother Bob fears the Lord Jesus more than any Muslim death threat and will continue to tell everyone on preachbrotherbob that Jesus is God. Jesus told us at Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him (Jesus) which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Several times people have tried to take down preachbrotherbob and remove videos from preachbrotherbob. But Jesus has allowed preachbrotherbob to remain on the internet and thousands of people everywhere are getting saved.

Like Daniel, keep praying and asking for anything you need in the name of Jesus. Jesus said at John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name (Jesus), that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. James 4:2 says Ye have not, because ye ask not. The people that ask the most for blessings and needs from Jesus, get the most blessings from Jesus. Instead of seeking help from people, seek help from Jesus through prayer. Philippians 4:6 says Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Now some people say if you pray something more than once you have no faith. This is wrong and does not agree with the bible because Jesus Himself prayed the same words of a prayer three times over and over again in the garden of Gethsemane. Matthew 26:44 says And He (Jesus) left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. Now if the Lord Jesus prayed the same words of a prayer three times, don't stop praying for your blessings, and Jesus will bless your faith and grant your requests.

We all need to go a little farther with Jesus and pray in groups of people. The prayer of two people praying together in agreement is ten times more powerful than the prayer of just one person. Deuteronomy 32:30 says How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up? For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.

Don't be isolated but instead attend a local church and pray in groups of people to have more power to resist the devil and get blessed. One ant can push a crumb but ten ants can push the crumb better. I'd rather teach ten people how to pray instead of teaching one man how to preach.

Ecclesiastes 4:9 says Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

3) Be like David Who Went A Little Farther With Jesus

Be like David who went a little farther with Jesus. Jesse sent his son David to bless his brothers with some cheese and food on the battlefield. When David met his brothers, he heard a ten foot tall giant in the valley of Elah named Goliath hollering "Give me a man to fight with me." David said "Why doesn't Saul get someone to kill that bully?" Then Saul told David "If you feel so confident, Why don't you fight Goliath?" David agreed to fight Goliath. David told Saul "I don't need your armour to fight Goliath. I'll fight Goliath in the name of the Lord who is Jesus."

David took a staff and a sling in his hand and went to the brook to pick up 5 smooth stones to kill Goliath. Now why did David get 5 smooth stones instead of 1 smooth stone to kill Goliath? Did David lack faith? No. David had great faith and got 5 smooth stones to kill Goliath and his 4 brothers. David wanted to kill Goliath's entire family. David trusted in a powerful God named Jesus to kill Goliath and his 4 brothers. David got the victory because he went a little farther with Jesus. David killed Goliath with a sling and a stone and walked off the battlefield with Goliath's head in one hand and Goliath's sword in his other hand.

1 Samuel 17:45 tells how David defeated Goliath. Then said David to the Philistine (Goliath), Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 1 Samuel 17:49 says And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into this forehead, and he fell upon his face to the earth. So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.

Like David, go a little farther with Jesus on the battlefield against any enemy, and the Lord Jesus will fight your battle and give you the victory. 2 Chronicles 20:17 says Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you. 1 Corinthians 15:57 says But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Goliath's four other brothers were also killed later by David's servants where God honored David's faith of gathering 5 smooth stones to kill Goliath's entire family. David knew that Goliath had four giant brothers named Ishbibenob (his dwelling is in Nob or a high place), Saph (tall), Lahmi (my bread), and a giant who had a total of 24 fingers and toes, believing that each of the five smooth stones would slay Goliath and his four giant brothers. Also note that David told Goliath that he fought against him in the name of the Lord believing that the name of his five smooth stones was JESUS, a letter for each smooth stone.

The bible records that Goliath and his four giant brothers were all sons of the same giant from Gath. The bible tells us that all four of Goliath's giant brothers were slain. Ishbibenob was slain by Abishai and 2 Samuel 21:16 says And Ishbibenob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear weighed 300 shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David (beloved). But Abishai (My father is a gift) the son of Zeruiah (balsam) succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him.

Next Saph was slain by Sibbechai and 2 Samuel 21:18 goes on to say And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob (cistern): then Sibbechai (weaver) the Hushathite (inhabitant of Hush or haste) slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant. Next Lahmi was slain by Elhanan discussed below in two places of the bible at 2 Samuel 21:19 and 1 Chronicles 20:5 which states that Lahmi was Goliath's giant brother.

2 Samuel 21:19 says And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan (God has been gracious) the son of Jaareoregim (forests of the weaver), a Bethlehemite (house of bread), slew the brother of Goliath (splendour), the Gittite (belonging to Gath or a winepress), the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam (in other words his spear was huge and the size of the large wooden beam of a loom). 1 Chronicles 20:5 tells us that the giant killed by Elhanan was the brother of Goliath named Lahmi and says And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam.

Finally Goliath's fourth giant brother who had a total of 24 fingers and toes, six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot was slain by Jonathan and 2 Samuel 21:20 says And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant. And when he defied Israel, Jonathan (Jehovah has given) the son of Shimeah (fame) the brother of David slew him

Now take time to compare 1 Chronicles 20:5 with 2 Samuel 21:22 and you will find that since Lahmi was Goliath's brother, all four giants and Goliath were all the sons of one giant in Gath. 2 Samuel 21:22 says These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

After David killed Goliath, the bible says that David drug Goliath's head to Jerusalem. 1 Samuel 17:54 that says And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent. You might say Why is it so important to remember that David took Goliath's head to Jerusalem? Read the discussion below about the above picture of Golgatha and you'll learn why David took Goliath's head to Jerusalem.

Golgatha is the place where Jesus was crucified. Golgatha exists today in Israel and is called the place of a skull. John 19:17 says And He (Jesus) bearing His cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha (also called Golgatha): Where they crucified Him, and two other with Him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

David took Goliath's head to Jerusalem and left Goliath's head at a place called Golgatha. Golgatha really means Gol-Goliath Gath of Gath a. If you look closely at the above picture of what Golgatha looks like today, notice the big giant skull of Goliath in the middle of the rocks. Look closely at the above picture to see Goliath's forehead, two eyes, nose, mustache, teeth that are laughing, and a chin. Wow, Goliath was a large giant with a big head. Just think how big Goliath's body was when you look above at how big Goliath's head was.

Why is it so blessed to remember that Jesus was crucified over the skull of the giant Goliath? The answer is that when Jesus died for his saved saints on the cross at Golgatha, Jesus destroyed any giant problems for all saved saints. Jesus wants us to remember that Goliath's head now is just a skull and the giant Goliath no longer exists. Golgatha is just Goliath's skull with no Goliath. In the picture above, Jesus was crucified over the skull of Goliath and truly destroyed and bruised satan under His feet. Romans 16:20 says And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

4) Be like The Four Men That Lowered Their Friend Through A Roof To Jesus

Who Went A Little Farther With Jesus

Be like the four men that lowered their friend through a roof to Jesus who went a little farther with Jesus. When four men could not get their friend to Jesus in a crowded full house, the four men broke up a roof and lowered their friend down to Jesus by faith. When Jesus saw the faith of the four men, Jesus healed their friend.

Four Of A Kind Beats A Full House Every Time

Four of a kind beats a full house every time. Four men's faith to heal their friend beat a full crowded house and Jesus healed a man sick of the palsy because of the prayers from four saved saints. It's wrong to say that a person can not be healed if he does not have faith and can not pray for himself. The faithful prayers of other people can heal a person that can't pray.

When Jesus saw their faith (the four men's faith to heal their friend and not the sick man's faith), the sick man with the palsy got healed. Keep praying for people that are helpless and can't pray. Your prayers can keep someone alive. James 5:16 says Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

The story where four men's faith healed their friend is at Mark 2:1: And again He (Jesus) entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that He was in the house. And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and He preached the word unto them. And they come unto Him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. And when they could not come nigh unto Him for the press, they uncovered the roof where He was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

Mark 2:5 says When Jesus saw their faith (the four men's faith and not his "the sick man's" faith), He said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. Then Jesus healed the man sick of the palsy because of the four men's faith. Jesus said at Mark 2:10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, He saith to the sick of palsy, I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.

How many people did it take to patch the roof

after the man sick of the palsy got healed?

No less than five because the healed man and his four friends

rejoiced and were glad to patch the roof

Like The Four Men Who Got Their Friend Healed

By Lowering Him To Jesus Through A Roof

Don't Let Any Mountain In Your Way

Stop You From Receiving A Blessing

Like the four men who got their friend healed by lowering him to Jesus through a roof, don't let any mountain in your way stop you from receiving a blessing. If a mountain is blocking your blessing, here's how to remove the mountain and receive your blessing. First climb over the mountain. If you can't climb over the mountain, go around the mountain. If you can't go around the mountain, tunnel through the mountain. And if you can't tunnel through the mountain, ask the Lord Jesus to remove the mountain and Jesus will remove the mountain and give you your blessing.

Never quit and always keep asking Jesus to remove any mountain or trouble blocking a blessing. Quitters never win and winners never quit. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they quit. Jesus told us at Mark 11:23 how to remove any mountain blocking a blessing: For verily I say unto you, That whosever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. I pray in Jesus name that anyone reading this will receive victory and that Jesus will remove every trouble from their life.

When you pray, pray with just a tiny mustard seed of faith and any mountain blocking a blessing will be removed. You don't need a lot of faith to remove a mountain. Just a tiny mustard seed of faith will remove any mountain or trouble out of your way. Jesus said at Matthew 17:20 If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

5) Be like Mary Magdalene Who Went A Little Farther With Jesus

Be like Mary Magdalene who went a little farther with Jesus by offering Jesus her best worship, love, and praise. When Mary Magdalene met Jesus at Simon the Pharisee's house, she gave Jesus the most precious thing that she owned (a very expensive alabaster box of ointment containing precious spikenard). Mary poured the precious ointment of spikenard on Jesus' head and feet, washed Jesus' feet with her tears, and then wiped Jesus' feet with the hairs of her head.

The bible says that a woman's hair is her glory. Mary Magdalene told Jesus Here's what I think of my glory and used her hair to wipe her tears of praise from Jesus' feet. She wiped Jesus' feet with her glory. 1 Corinthians 11:15 says But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

Mary Magdalene went a little farther with her worship, praise, and love for our Saviour Jesus Christ. Mary Magdalene could have very easily just stood in front of Jesus and said Lord I love you. But she went a little farther and poured the best thing that she owned in praise on Jesus. Then she washed Jesus' feet with her tears and wiped Jesus' feet with her glory (her hair). Mary displayed a greater love for Jesus than Simon the Pharisee because Mary had been forgiven of many sins.

Jesus told Simon at Luke 7:44 Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. And He saith unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

Let's all be like Mary Magdalene and offer our best praise to Jesus daily? Let's all go a little farther with Jesus and give Jesus a sacrifice of praise showing Jesus how much we love Him for dying on the cross of Calvary to remove our sins? Even when you don't feel like praising Jesus, praise Jesus anyway.

Go a little farther with Jesus by offering a sacrifice of praise to Jesus. Sing hymns of praise to Jesus daily. Give Jesus a sacrifice of praise daily. Let's all obey Hebrews 13:15: By Him (Jesus) therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name.

The story about Mary Magdalene's sacrifice of praise to our Lord Jesus is at Luke 7:36 that says And one of the Pharisees (Simon) desired Him (Jesus) that He would eat with him. Simon wanted to bless Jesus with a meal at his home because Jesus cleansed and healed Simon from leprosy. Mark 14:3 tells us that Simon was a leper saying And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as He (Jesus) sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious, and she brake the box, and poured it on His head.

No one ever remained sick when they met Jesus. Even Simon, a wicked Pharisee, was healed of leprosy when he met Jesus. Matthew 9:35 says And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. Jesus lives in you friend reading this and like Simon will heal you of any sickness or disease.

Let's continue with the story about Mary Magdalene's sacrifice of praise to our Lord Jesus at Luke 7:36: And He (Jesus) went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. And, behold, a woman (Mary Magdalene) in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment. And stood at His feet behind Him weeping, and began to wash His feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed His feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

Jesus honored Mary Magdalene's sacrifice of praise by saying at Matthew 26:12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

Mary Magdalene's sweet smelling spikenard that she poured on Jesus became a memorial that comforted Jesus and the women who smelled the sweet precious spikenard while Jesus was carrying His cross on the Via Dolorosa path to Golgotha Calvary. The Via Dolorosa (called the Sorrowful Way or Way of Sorrows) was the traditional route in the old city of Jerusalem believed to be the path that our Lord Jesus walked on His way to His crucifixion.

At the cross of Calvary, the sweet smelling spikenard's odour remained and was greater than the foul odour of vinegar mingled with the poisonous gall (hemlock plant) drink that Jesus tasted but did not drink, preserving Jesus' body from decay for burial and is a witness about Jesus' resurrection from the dead with eternal life.

People have said Brother Bob how do you know that the unnamed woman at Simon's house that anointed Jesus with spikenard was Mary Magdalene? In response I tell people to read Luke's account of this story at Luke 7:36 to the end of the chapter. Then notice at Luke 8:2 we see that after Mary Magdalene anointed Jesus with spikenard at Simon's house, Mary Magdalene was healed of evil spirits and infirmities and followed Jesus. Luke 8:1 says And it came to pass afterward, that He (Jesus) went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him. And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils (the bible tells us that Mary Magdalene was the woman healed at Simon's house that followed Jesus). And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto Him of their substance.

6) Be like Caleb Who Went A Little Farther With Jesus

Be like Caleb who went a little farther with Jesus. When Caleb was 40 years old, he spied out the land of Canaan and along with Joshua believed they could conquer the giant Anakims at Hebron. Caleb had a good report and said at Numbers 13:30 Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. Caleb believed he could conquer and possess Hebron and defeat the giant Anakims.

Forty five years later when Caleb was 85, Joshua told Caleb "I think it's time for you to retire and live in the peaceful valley with its beautiful streams. You don't need to live in the mountain of Hebron and be worried about giants." Pictured above Caleb told Joshua "Forget the valley, Give me this mountain called Hebron. Moses promised Hebron to me and at 85 I'm strong enough to conquer Hebron and defeat the giant Anakims." Caleb decided to go a little farther with Jesus. God renewed Caleb's youth and allowed him to conquer Hebron and defeat the giant Anakims at the age of 85.

Like Caleb, decide to go a little farther with Jesus and defeat the giants in your life while you overcome any mountain, obstacle, or trouble in this world. Like Caleb, be a good soldier for Jesus going a little farther with Jesus, believing that God will give you victory over any trouble. 2 Timothy 2:3 says Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please Him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. Jesus promised that he would renew our youth like the eagle and strengthen us in old age like Caleb to be able to overcome and defeat any trouble in this world. Jesus said at Isaiah 46:4 And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs (gray hairs) will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

The story about Caleb conquering Hebron at 85 is at Joshua 14:6 that says Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the Lord said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadesh barnea. Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh barnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart. Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the Lord my God.

Joshua 14:9 goes on to say And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the Lord my God. And now, behold, the Lord hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the Lord spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old.

Joshua 14:11 goes on to say As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in. Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the Lord spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the Lord will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the Lord said. And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.

Benefits From The Name Of Jesus

1) The Name Of Jesus Will Save You

First the name of Jesus will save sinners. Acts 4:12 says Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name (Jesus) under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Romans 10:13 says For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord (Jesus) shall be saved. Matthew 1:21 says And she (Mary) shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins. Only the name Jesus that means Jehovah saves can save lost sinners. Buddha, Muhammad, or Gandhi can't save you. There are not many ways to heaven. There is only one way to heaven and that's by faith in the Lord Jesus. Trust Jesus and go to heaven. Trust anything else and go to hell. Jesus said at John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning

Confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel

That Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again

John 1:11 tells us that salvation is through faith in the name of Jesus. He (Jesus) came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God (receive salvation), even to them that believe on His name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Like Peter walking on water, look to Jesus instead of the surrounding distractions for salvation. Like Peter, say Lord Jesus save me and Jesus will save you. Matthew 14:28 describes Peter walking on water to Jesus: And Peter answered Him (Jesus) and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And He said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

2) The Name Of Jesus Will Heal You

Second the name of Jesus will heal you. Peter and John used the name of Jesus to heal a lame man at the Beautiful gate of the temple. Acts 3:2 says And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none: but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

The name of Jesus instead of silver and gold healed the lame man. Peter and John told the lame man "We don't have what you want. We have what you need and His name is Jesus." The lame man got exceeding abundantly more than what he requested. This lame man not only walked but he leaped and praised God. First there was a lameness, then there was a look, then there was a limp, and then there was a leap. First there was a look, then there was a lifting up, then there was life in the ankles, and then there was a leap.

Ephesians 3:20 promises Now unto Him (Jesus) that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. Like this lame man I pray in Jesus name for anyone reading this bible study, that Jesus will heal you exceeding abundantly above all that you ask or think. In the name of Jesus, I pray that anyone reading this will receive the blessing of Joel 2:25: And I (Jesus) will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.

I pray in Jesus name that anyone reading this will be healed by the name of Jesus. Jesus is the greatest doctor of all time because everyone got healed when they met Jesus. Blind, deaf, dumb, crippled, lame, and people with any sickness all got healed instantly when they got near or in the presence of our Lord Jesus. This is why crowds and multitudes of people tried to get near Jesus to receive total healing from any sickness. Luke 4:40 says Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto Him (Jesus); and He laid His hands on every one of them, and healed them. Note that Jesus healed everyone. There never was a person that failed to get a healing when they were around Jesus. Matthew 9:35 proves that Jesus heals every sickness and disease saying And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

The bible tells us that if we anoint anyone with olive oil (not Crisco) in the name of Jesus, that the prayer of faith will save, raise, and heal the sick. James 5:14 says Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil (olive oil) in the name of the Lord (Jesus). And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. At prayer meetings use olive oil to anoint people in the name of Jesus and sinners will get saved, strengthened, and healed.

The bible tells us that when we lay hands on the sick, they shall recover when we pray for them in the name of Jesus. Jesus said at Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name (Jesus) shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

The name of Jesus has the power to heal any sickness including Covid. Like Paul every day say Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Jesus Christ and by faith see your worries, fears, and sickness crucified and destroyed by faith with your heart. Hebrews 13:8 says that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. After you see your troubles crucified with Jesus Christ, tell the devil daily Isaiah 53:5 with His (Jesus') stripes we are healed.

Jesus took 39 stripes and per a google search there are only 39 types of sickness including Covid. Therefore we can rejoice and say daily By Jesus' stripes we are healed of all sickness, fears, and worries. Jesus took a stripe for any sickness anyone could ever have. After you see your troubles crucified and gone with Jesus at the cross of Calvary, praise Jesus daily for dying on the cross for our sins.

Benefits From The Name Of Jesus

If You Live Holy And Sanctified, Abiding Daily In Jesus

3) You Can Ask For Anything In Jesus Name And Receive Your Requests

If you live holy and sanctified, abiding daily in Jesus, you can ask for anything in Jesus name and receive your requests. When you abide in Jesus daily by meditating on God's Word, praying, and gathering together at church, you will ask in Jesus name for blessed requests that will be granted. You won't ask amiss to satisfy your selfish desires. James 4:3 says that selfish prayer requests will not be granted. Jesus says to selfish people without Jesus Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. But when you live holy and sanctified, abiding daily in Jesus, you will ask for blessed requests that will be granted. Jesus said at John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Jesus said at John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name (Jesus), that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name (Jesus), I will do it.

Keep asking in the name of Jesus for anything you need. Jesus said at John 16:24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name (Jesus): ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. In other words the more you ask for anything with continual importunity many times in Jesus name, the more Jesus will grant your requests and bless you. People that pray the most prayer requests in Jesus name receive the most blessings. James 4:2 says Ye have not, because ye ask not. Therefore ask (in Jesus name), and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you (Matthew 7:7).

Now some people say if you pray something more than once you have no faith. This is wrong because when you continually repeat your prayer requests with importunity, your faith increases, prayers are answered, happen, and Jesus gets glorified. Jesus Himself prayed the same words of a prayer three times over and over again in the garden of Gethsemane. Matthew 26:44 says And He (Jesus) left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. Now if the Lord Jesus prayed the same words of a prayer three times, don't stop praying for your blessings, and Jesus will bless your faith and grant your requests. Right now be like Jacob and say Genesis 32:26 Jesus I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. Keep saying daily Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Jesus Christ and all my troubles, fears, and worries have been crucified and destroyed forever by Jesus at the cross of Calvary because the blood of Jesus has overcome the devil.

Pray In Jesus Name To Receive Your Prayer Requests

Praying In Christ's Name Instead Of Jesus Name Won't Work

Don't Pray In Christ's Name; Pray In Jesus Name

Colossians 3:17 says And whatsoever you do in word or deed

do all in the name of the Lord Jesus (not in the name of Christ)

giving thanks to God and the Father by Him

Jesus told us that for any prayer request when we are not sinning, if we ask for anything in Jesus name (not Christ's name) we can receive any prayer request. Jesus told us at John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name (Jesus), He may give it you. Friends remember this incredible promise when you pray for anything. Ask in Jesus name for anything believing and you will receive your prayer requests. Deny sin daily and then you will ask for the right things in Jesus name that will be granted.

Pray in Jesus name to get results. The bible tells us that our Lord's name is JESUS. Matthew 1:21 says And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name JESUS (not Christ): for He shall save His people from their sins. And Philippians 2:9 says Wherefore God hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus (not Christ) every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Therefore obey God's Word and ask for anything in Jesus name (not in Christ's name) and overcome the devil and receive your prayer requests. The devil wants people to pray in Christ's name to make their prayers ineffective. Don't be ashamed of the name of Jesus. Proclaim Jesus everywhere. Jesus said at Luke 9:26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when He shall come in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels. Jesus also said at Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before the Father which is in heaven. You'll get persecuted for praying in Jesus name instead of in Christ's name but rejoice through the persecution while your prayer requests are answered.

And sing the words below for the hymn There Is A Fountain Filled With Blood

There is a fountain filled with blood; Drawn from Immanuels' veins

And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains

The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day

And there may I though vile as he wash all my sins away

Dear dying Lamb thy precious blood shall never lose its power

Till all the ransomed ones of God be saved to sin no more

Eer since by faith I saw the stream thy flowing wounds supply

Redeeming love has been my theme and shall be till I die

When this poor lisping stammering tongue lies silent in the grave

Then in a nobler sweeter song I'll sing thy power to save

Benefits From The Name Of Jesus

4) The Name Of Jesus Casts Out Devils

The name of Jesus casts out devils. Jesus said at Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name (Jesus) shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. The name of Buddha, Allah, Muhammad, or Gandhi will not cast out a devil. Only the name of Jesus will cast out a devil. James 4:7 says Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Jesus told us at Matthew 18:18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind (forbid) on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose (release) on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Every day say in Jesus name send angels to bind the devil and send him to the pit of hell. Then say in Jesus name send the angels to loose, release, and send the blood of Jesus over my home, car, job, and everywhere I go. Every day say Psalm 91:11: For He (Jesus) shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

In the name of Jesus ask the angels to cast the devil daily into the pit of hell because Psalm 140:9-10 says that when the devil is in the pit of hell, the devil will rise not up again. As for the head of those that compass me about (the devil), let the mischief of their own lips cover them. Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits (of hell), that they rise not up again.

In the name of Jesus and by the blood of Jesus we have power over the devil. Resist the devil, but don't devote all your time to resisting the devil. Keep your mind stayed on the Lord Jesus and the blessings of the Word of God. Isaiah 26:3 says Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee (Jesus): because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength. Jesus told us at Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

In other words don't devote all your time to resisting the devil saying the devils' names for hours like Come out Pete, Harry, Marvin, or Joe. Jesus said to the legion devil quickly What is your name? After the devil said legion, Jesus said Go and the devils went into the swine and drowned. Jesus didn't have an hour long discussion with the devil. Most of the time when Jesus cast out a devil, Jesus told the devil to be quiet and hold his peace.

Proverbs 28:1 says The wicked (devils) flee when no man pursueth, but the righteous are bold as a lion. I ain't chasing the devil, but he runs away anyway. Just cast out the devils in the name of Jesus and then rejoice in Jesus (focusing on blessed, holy, and lovely things with Jesus) because he saved you and wrote your name in heaven. Philippians 4:8 says Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things (In other words always think on Jesus Christ crucified to get victory over the devil).

Paul used the name of Jesus to cast out the devil from the damsel possessed with a spirit of divination who brought her masters much gain (money) by daily flattering Paul and Silas. Acts 16:16 says And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her (Paul used the name of Jesus to cast out the devil). And he came out the same hour.

Like Paul, be careful of people that flatter you with titles. Proverbs 29:5 says A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet. Paul was grieved by the damsel's daily flattery (exalting Paul and Silas) because only Jesus should be glorified. After Paul cast out the devil from the damsel, when the damsel's masters could not make money from Paul's crowds, the masters had Paul and Silas beaten and cast into prison. God blessed Paul and Silas for exalting the name of Jesus and released them from prison to keep preaching God's blessed Word all over Europe.

Like Paul, be humble and deny yourself daily where only Jesus gets the glory. Like John the Baptist say John 3:30 He (Jesus) must increase, but I must decrease. Like Paul, say Ephesians 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ. Jesus told us at Matthew 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. Instead of having a title placed by your name like Bishop, Apostle, Lady, or Evangelist, tell everyone that you are a servant. Call me Servant Brother Bob willing to wash feet like Jesus who made Himself of no reputation so only the Lord Jesus could get the glory. Jesus told us if we are willing to be servants and wash feet, we will receive happiness, joy, and strength. Jesus said at John 13:17 after he washed the disciples' feet, If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

Benefits From The Name Of Jesus

5) The Name Of Jesus Is Powerful And Provides Safe Rest

The name of Jesus is the most powerful name in the universe. Revelation 19:16 says And He (Jesus) hath on His vesture (clothing) and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. Jesus is the King above all kings and the Lord above all lords. Colossians 1:18 says And He (Jesus) is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence. Romans 8:31 says What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Rejoice saints because the Lord Jesus is the most powerful king that is for you and with you always to give you victory over any enemy forevermore. Rejoice and say Hebrews 13:6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

The name of Jesus provides safe rest for saints. Proverbs 18:10 says The name of the Lord (Jesus) is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. Be like Brother Bob and place name of Jesus in bold letters on the outside of your home's front door, on the bedroom door, bathroom door, on the refrigerator and freezer, on your cellphone and computer, and above your bed. The name of Jesus will keep you and your belongings safe from any thief or harm. Every time you close your front door and see the name of Jesus, you will rejoice because the name Jesus protects your home from harm.

Jesus said at John 10:10 The thief (devil) cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. The name of Jesus will cast out the devil and prevent the devil from stealing or harming your home. Jesus said at Mark 16:17 In my name (Jesus) shall they cast out devils. The name of Jesus is better than any home security alarm. The name of Jesus according to Ephesians 3:20 gives saints exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. Jesus not only gives us life. Jesus gives us life more abundantly.

The name of Jesus is so powerful that eventually every knee will bow to the name of Jesus. Philippians 2:9 says Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him (Jesus), and given Him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth (the devil will bow his knee to Jesus); And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Get saved today and worship the Lord Jesus. Choose to bow down today to the name of Jesus Christ and depart from iniquity. 2 Timothy 2:19 says Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. If you don't bow down now today to Jesus, you will bow down and acknowledge that Jesus is God at the great white throne judgment. I would not advise you to bow down later at the great white throne judgment to Jesus and be cast into the lake of fire.

The prophet Isaiah said that the name of the Lord Jesus is the mighty God. Isaiah 9:6 says For unto us a child is born, unto us a son (Jesus) is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Finally the Father proclaimed that Jesus is The mighty God at Hebrews 1:8 that says But unto the Son (Jesus) He (The Father) saith, Thy throne, O God (The Father Called The Son Jesus God), is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Rejoice because the name of Jesus removes our guilty sins forever. Acts 10:43 promises To Him give all the prophets witness, that through His name (Jesus) whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins (release from the bondage and imprisonment of sin forever).

Revelations About The Half Hour Silence In Heaven, Moab The Washpot, Animals In Heaven, And Catholic Confessionals

noreply@blogger.com (brotherbob) — Fri, 20 Sep 2024 19:37:00 +0000

Why Will There Be Silence In Heaven About The Space Of Half An Hour?

After the seventh seal is opened during the great tribulation, there will be silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. Before this half hour silence, there will be seven seals opened listed at Revelation 6; First a white horse (the beast antichrist rider with one crown, a bow with no arrows, promising a false peace where only war, famine, and death follow); Second a red horse of war; Third a black horse of famine; Fourth a pale horse of death; Fifth the souls of them that were slain for the Word of God crying for mercy; Sixth where after a great earthquake, the sun becomes black as sackcloth of hair, the moon becomes blood, and the stars of heaven fall to the earth. Then Revelation 8:1 says And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God: and to them were given seven trumpets.

During this half hour silence the four beasts before God's throne will be silent and stop saying Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come; The twenty four elders before God's throne will be silent and stop saying Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

All heaven is silent for about the space of half an hour because God's glory is so spectacular that it is unspeakable and can not be described with words. Paul said that God's glory in paradise heaven is unspeakable with a majestic silence that can not be spoken. 2 Corinthians 12:4 says How that he (Paul) was caught up into paradise (heaven), and heard unspeakable words which it is not lawful for a man to utter. This unspeakable glory of silence will give christians eternal unspeakable joy. Rejoice and say 1 Peter 1:8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.

The reason heaven is silent for about the space of half an hour is because God's glory is unspeakable and right now just wave your hands and praise Jesus for His great majesty described at Ephesians 1:21: (Jesus is) Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. And hath put all things (depression, sickness, worry, fear, and death) under His (Jesus') feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church. Rejoice because all things (even the devil) is under our feet with Jesus. Romans 16:20 says And the God of peace (Jesus) shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you Amen. Rejoice and say "Got the devil under my feet, Holy Ghost holding him down Lord."

Get Saved Today With Jesus

Notice The Following Four Words Below

EVERYBODY SOMEBODY ANYBODY NOBODY

Tell Everybody About Somebody (Jesus) Who Can Save Anybody

Be Like John The Baptist Who Was The Greatest Man Ever To Live Beside Jesus

Like John The Baptist Say John 3:30

He (Jesus) must increase, but I must decrease

Jesus said at Matthew 11:11

Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women,

there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist:

notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven (Jesus)

is greater than he

The Word Selah Describes The Half Hour Silence In Heaven

The word Selah describes the half hour silence in heaven. Selah appears at the end of many Psalms. Selah means to rest during a moment of silence while you ponder and think about God's Word. God doesn't want you to just read God's Word; God also wants you to think about (Selah) and memorize God's Word. Psalm 1:2 says if we meditate (Selah) think about God's Word, God will fix all our problems. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

A Selah moment of silence for about the space of half an hour will occur in heaven to allow everyone to stop and think about the Lord Jesus' majestic power before the seven trumpets of wrath sound. This half hour moment of silence will allow everyone to remember and respect God's love to this world when Jesus died on the cross of Calvary to save lost sinners. God says at Psalm 46:10 Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

Henry Ironside described the half hour silence saying "He (Jesus) will judge according to the holiness of His character and the righteousness of His throne. The seventh seal introduces the final drama of the great tribulation. No wonder that there is silence in heaven for half an hour before that seal is broken." Brother Bob describes the half hour silence saying "Now half an hour is not long when one is engaged in some pleasantry but thirty minutes of intense suspense with complete silence can be awe inspiring."

The Silence Of Joshua's Army Before Trumpets Sounded

And Jericho's Walls Fell

Describe The Half Hour Silence In Heaven Before The Seven Trumpets Sound

The half hour silence in heaven before the seven trumpets sound during the great tribulation can be seen when Joshua's army was silent for seven days before they sounded trumpets and the walls of Jericho fell down. Joshua 6:10 says And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout. Hebrews 11:30 says By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days (in silence). After the silence for seven days, Joshua 6:20 says So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

Like Joshua's army, after the silence in heaven for half an hour, when the seven trumpets of wrath sound during the great tribulation, the walls of fear, worry, sickness, and depression will fall down and disappear forever. All the christians will praise King Jesus for 1000 years and forever in the kingdom of God. What a great blessing in the kingdom of God when christians say Revelation 21:4: 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.

Why Moab Is Called A Washpot At Psalm 60:8 And Psalm 108:9

We learn why Moab is called a washpot by studying the story about Naomi, Elimelech, Mahlon, Chilion, Ruth, and Orpah. Naomi, Elimelech, Mahlon, and Chilion left Bethlehem-judah to dwell in Moab to escape a famine. Mahlon and Chilion married two Moabite women named Ruth and Orpah. Elimelech, Mahlon, and Chilion died in Moab. After Naomi repented and decided to return to Bethlehem-judah, Ruth stayed with Naomi and returned to Bethlehem-judah. But Orpah left Naomi and returned to Moab. Ruth got blessed for staying with Naomi and became the wife of Boaz and had the honor of becoming one of the grandparents to King David and our Lord Jesus.

Moab Is Called A Washpot Because

3 Were Washed Up-Elimelech, Mahlon, and Chilion Who Died In Moab

1 Was Washed Out-Orpah Because She Went Back To The gods Of Moab

1 Was Washed In -Ruth Who Got Washed In To Naomi's Family And Married Boaz

1 Was Washed-Naomi Who Returned Home Cleansed After Repentance

Will Animals Be In The Kingdom Of God?

The following scriptures prove that animals (Fido and white horses) will be in the kingdom of God in heaven. Peter saw animals on a great sheet descending down from heaven to the earth. Acts 10:11 says And (Peter) saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth. Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts, of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. When christians return to this earth after the seven year tribulation, christians will return on white horses from heaven with Jesus to rule and reign as kings and priests on this earth for 1000 years.

Also the Persian definition for the word paradise (heaven) with the tree of life is animal park or a garden of animals. Christians are overcomers with Jesus according to John 16:33 and will live forever with the animals in the paradise kingdom of God's animal park. Revelation 2:7 says He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is the midst of the paradise of God (kingdom of God animal park).

I also believe that the animals in the kingdom of God will talk like the ass (donkey) that spoke to Balaam and the serpent who spoke to Eve. In heaven, it will be like the movie Dr. Doolittle where the animals will be able to speak with no sin. The animals will be tame and not harm anyone forever. I'm looking forward in heaven (not on this present earth) to hug baby polar bears and pet lions and elephants and ride on dolphins and whales. 1 Corinthians 2:9 says But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit, for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

Confess Your Sins To Jesus Instead Of A Catholic Priest

At A Drive Through Confessional With A Sign

TOOT N' TELL; DON'T GO TO HELL

Confess your sins to Jesus instead of a Catholic priest. 1 Timothy 2:5 tells us For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (not a Catholic priest). Matthew 23:9 says And call no man (like the pope or a Catholic priest) your father upon the earth: for one is your Father (Jesus), which is in heaven. I don't have to confess my sins through a knothole to a Latin speaking, bead counting, robe wearing priest, that calls himself a father, and dresses like momma, and to top it off the bird ain't even married.

How foolish to wait for a cardinal to blow some white smoke out of a chimney to elect a new pope. A preacher said that white smoke was blowing out of the back of his church. It was a deacon smoking a cigarette and the church didn't elect a new pastor. Jesus hates the doctrine of the Nicolaitans and the Catholic traditions (Revelation 2:15) where the pope and priests have power over the laity (common people) when they hide the KJV Word of God from the common people.

John Wycliffe (who was the first person to translate the bible into English for the farmers and common people) was hated by the Catholic pope and priests. Catholic priests burned John Wycliffe's dead bones and put them in a river. William Tyndale (a missionary who gave John Wycliffe's English bible to farmers and common people) was also hated by the pope and burned at the stake by Catholic priests. His last prayer was "Lord open the King of England's eyes." The prayer was answered in part when three years later, in 1539, King Henry VIII required every church in England to make a copy of the English bible available to its parishioners. Then in 1611 the blessed King James bible became available to the people of England.

Brother Bob does not hate Catholics (I am friends with some saved Catholics). Pray for Catholics and show the love of God to all Catholic people. Brother Bob speaks out against the false teachings of Catholicism. It's wrong for Catholics to believe replacement theology that the church has replaced the Jews and Israel. The Jews remain today with Israel and instead of replacement theology, there will be restoration theology when the Jews confess that Jesus is their Messiah at the end of the great tribulation.

The scripture that proves that the church did not replace the Jews is at 1 Corinthians 10:32 that lists the three classes of people. Give none offence, neither to the Jews (not Hebrew Israelites), nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God. Unsaved people are either Jews or Gentiles; Saved people with Jesus are the church of God. The church is separate from the Jews and did not replace the Jews. Saved people have a Jew named Jesus living in them and should pray for the Jews and the peace of Jerusalem. Psalm 122:6 says Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper that love thee. If you fight against Jerusalem and the Jews, you fight against God and will lose. Zechariah 12:9 says And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

A Sermon About Lazarus, Enoch, And The Last Trump Of God Describing The Rapture

noreply@blogger.com (brotherbob) — Wed, 04 Sep 2024 15:46:00 +0000

Soon There Will Be A Rapture Catching Up To The Clouds

Of The Dead In Christ Followed By Living Christians

To Be With Jesus Forever

Escape The Future Tribulation Wrath Coming To This Earth

Get Saved, Repent, Decide To Stop Sinning,

Confess That Jesus Is God, And Believe The Gospel

That Jesus Died On The Cross For You, Was Buried, And Rose Again

1 Thessalonians 4:16 describes the rapture of the church saying For the Lord (Jesus) Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel (Michael), and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Corinthians 15:51 also describes the rapture saying Behold, I shew you a mystery (no one knows the exact time of the rapture; it's a mystery so always be ready to leave this earth to meet Jesus in the clouds); We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound (God's voice and not the last trumpet sounded by an angel during the tribulation), and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we (living christians) shall be changed.

Blessed Sayings About The Rapture

I'm not looking for the undertaker, I'm looking for the uppertaker (Jesus Christ)

I'm not looking for a hole in the ground, I'm looking for a hole in the sky

I'm not looking for a sign, I'm listening for a sound

1 Corinthians 15:55 Will Happen During The Rapture

The living christians that get new glorified bodies at the rapture will say

O death, where is thy sting?

The dead in Christ that get new glorified bodies at the rapture will say

O grave, where is thy victory?

More Blessed Sayings About The Rapture

Christian's Are Getting Out Of Here Like Superman

And They're Coming Back To This Earth

On White Horses Like The Lone Ranger

The Trump's Gonna Toot, And We're Gonna Scoot

When God Toots, We're Gonna Scoot

Very Soon We're Going to Meet The Boss (Jesus)

Saints On Earth Will Mourn Our Loss

And Then We'll Ride Back To Earth On Our White Hoss

Lazarus Represents The Dead In Christ At The Rapture

Lazarus represents the dead in Christ at the rapture. After Lazarus had been dead for four days, John 11:43 says And when He (Jesus) had thus spoken, He cried with a loud voice (shout), Lazarus, come forth; And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. Note that if Jesus just said Come forth, not mentioning Lazarus' name, everybody in the graveyards would have risen.

When Jesus descends in the clouds with a shout during the rapture, instead of just saying Lazarus, come forth, Jesus will call the dead in Christ and the living christians by name saying Come up hither (Come forth). Christian reading this like Lazarus, soon Jesus is going to call your name with a trumpet shout during the rapture saying Come up hither (Come forth). John 10:3 says To Him (Jesus) the porter openeth; and the sheep (christians) hear his voice: and He calleth His own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when He putteth forth His own sheep, He goeth before them, and the sheep follow Him: for they know His voice. What a glorious day when I hear Jesus shout Brother Bob Malkin Come up hither (Come forth). Rejoice because soon Jesus is going to call your name (christian) saying Come up hither and you'll rise to glorious peace in the rapture with Jesus forever.

Like Lazarus, our dead christian friends and relatives will rise from their graves and be alive with Jesus during the rapture of the church. God promises at Hosea 13:14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance (sorrow) shall be hid from mine eyes. And christians will recognize one another during that great open air campmeeting in the clouds during the rapture. 1 Corinthians 13:12 says For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. In other words christians will be known in heaven. What a great reunion when we see and recognize all our loved christian friends and relatives in heaven. It will be like when Peter, James, and John recognized Moses (who was raised from the dead) on the Mount of Transfiguration.

Enoch Represents The Living Christians At The Rapture

Enoch represents the living christians at the rapture. Genesis 5:24 speaks about Enoch. And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. Hebrews 11:5 also speaks about Enoch saying By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation (moving from earth to heaven) he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

Like Enoch who was raptured (caught up to heaven) without dying, living christians at the rapture will not die and be caught up to the clouds with the dead in Christ to meet the Lord Jesus in the air. Notice that Enoch walked with God and "was not." Americans have astronauts, Russians have cosmonauts, but become a "was not" like Enoch on this earth, soon leaving this earth at the rapture to be with Jesus.

Therefore Enoch is a picture of the living saints caught up to be with Jesus at the rapture escaping death. Noah and his family are different representing Jews and Gentiles (tribulation saints and not the church) enduring to the end of the seven year tribulation on earth by overcoming the beast antichrist. Unlike Enoch, God did not take Noah out of the world with a rapture before the flood. God preserved Noah in an ark on this earth where Noah endured and survived to the end of the flood.

Enoch The 7th From The First Adam Is Like

Today's Christians In The Laodicean Church

Who Are In The 7th Laodicean Church From The Last Adam (Jesus)

Enoch And Christians In The Laodicean Church

Were And Will Be Raptured To Heaven Without Dying

Jude 14 says that Enoch was the 7th person from the first Adam. And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands (an innumerable multitude) of His saints. To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

Like Enoch, the 7th person from the first Adam, soon christians in the 7th Laodicean church from the last Adam (Jesus) will be raptured, escape death, and disappear from this earth. Enoch and living christians at the rapture are exceptions that escape death's appointment noted at Hebrews 9:27 that says And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. Enoch is the only old testament person that never dies because he represents the living christians at the rapture that never die.

Note that even though Hebrews 9:27 says it is appointed unto men once to die, some people in the bible die twice. Lazarus, Jairus' daughter, Dorcas, Eutychus, and the widow of Nain's son died twice. Moses and Elijah are the two olive trees and witnesses mentioned at Revelation 11:3-6. Enoch is not one of these witnesses because Hebrews 11:5 says that Enoch should not see death. The two witnesses (Moses and Elijah) will die. Moses dies twice. First God buries Moses after death and Moses reappears alive with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration. Then Moses dies a second time during the great tribulation and rises again to life (Revelation 11:7-11).

The Marriage Supper Of The Lamb After Three Come Up Hithers

noreply@blogger.com (brotherbob) — Sat, 10 Aug 2024 19:32:00 +0000

After The Bride Church Is Raptured

1) The Bema Judgment Seat Will Happen

2) The Bride Church Will Be Married To Jesus

3) The Marriage Supper Will Happen During The Millennium

4) The Great White Throne Judgment Will Occur

Let's learn what happens after the bride church is raptured (caught up) to be with Jesus in the air. After salvation, christians are called the bride church. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. Before the appearance of the beast antichrist and the seven year tribulation, the bride church will be raptured out of this wicked world.

2 Thessalonians 2:7 says For the mystery of iniquity (the antichrist) doth already work: only he who now letteth will let (Holy Ghost in saved saints holding back the appearance of the antichrist to start the tribulation), until he be taken out of the way (bride church raptured out of the wicked world). And then shall that Wicked (Antichrist) be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming. The Antichrist can not appear until the bride church leaves this earth.

While the 7 year tribulation occurs on the earth

The bride church will be in heaven

Getting their wrinkles ironed out of their wedding garments

By fire at the Judgment Seat Of Christ before heaven's

Blessed marriage ceremony to the bridegroom (our Lord Jesus).

2 Timothy 4:1 says I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom (This Judgment Seat of Christ occurs with Jesus' appearance in the air during the rapture judging the quick and the dead) (those alive when the rapture occurs and the dead in Christ). Christians will be rewarded for their good deeds and their witnessing on the earth. Christians will suffer loss when they failed to witness Jesus because of selfishness. These christians will not lose their salvation but fire at the Judgment seat of Christ will determine if they receive or lose rewards in heaven.

1 Corinthians 3:13 describes what will happen to saints at the Bema Judgment Seat of Christ. Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: But he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

The second event after the rapture will be the marriage between the bride church and the bridegroom Jesus. Jesus uses fire at the Bema Judgment Seat to iron out the spots and wrinkles in the bride church's wedding garment of fine linen. Ephesians 5:25 explains why Jesus has to iron out spots and wrinkles first at the Bema Judgment Seat before the marriage ceremony in heaven. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it; That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word, That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle (removed by fire at the Bema Judgment Seat), or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

Revelation 19:7 describes the marriage in heaven between the bride church and the bridegroom Jesus. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him (Jesus): for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife (the bride church) hath made herself ready (had her spots and wrinkles removed by the fire of the Bema Judgment Seat). 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.

Note that the Bema Judgment Seat Of Christ is different from the Great White Throne Judgment where the unbelievers in Jesus will be cast into the lake of fire for the second death. The bride saved church will also be at the Great White Throne Judgment judging the unbelievers with Jesus because after the rapture 1 Thessalonians 4:17 says that the bride church shall ever be with the Lord Jesus. 1 Corinthians 6:2 says Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

Note also that rewards will be given to old testament saints, tribulation saints, and millennial saints at the Great White Throne judgment. These saints are separate (friends of the bridegroom Jesus) and not part of the bride church that was rewarded earlier at the Bema judgment seat of Christ before their marriage to the bridegroom Jesus in heaven. Revelation 11:17-18 describes the rewards given at the Great White Throne judgment. Like the bride church, all saints eventually get rewards.

Now read what happens after the 7th trumpet at Revelation 11:17-18: (Four and Twenty Elders) Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee great power, and hast reigned (notice that Jesus hast reigned and completed the millennium where next we see the Great White Throne judgment). And the nations were angry, and thy wrath (at Armaggedon) is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged (Great White Throne judgment where the unbelievers are cast into the lake of fire), and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets (old testament saints), and to the saints (tribulation saints), and them that fear thy name, small and great (millennial saints); and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

Take time to read a blessed commentary from Peter Ruckman about Revelation 11:17-18. The reign of Jesus is spoken of in past tense at Revelation 11:17 because the 24 elders are speaking at the end of the millennium. The nations were angry is a reference to the battle of Armageddon. And the time of the dead that they should be judged is a reference to the Great White Throne judgment where unbelievers are cast into the lake of fire. But there are also saved people from the old testament, tribulation, and millennium (prophets, saints, and those that fear Jesus' name) at the Great White Throne judgment receiving rewards.

The tribulation saints receiving rewards at the Great White Throne judgment who endured to the end to overcome the beast antichrist are described at Daniel 7:21: I beheld, and the same horn (beast antichrist) made war with the (tribulation) saints, and prevailed against them; Until the Ancient of days (Jesus) came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom (with rewards from the Great White Throne judgment).

Who Will Be At The Marriage Supper Of The Lamb During The Millennium

1) The Bride Church

2) The Bridegroom Jesus

3) Friends Of The Bridegroom-Old Testament, Tribulation, And Millennial Saints

After the marriage ceremony in heaven between the bride church and the bridegroom Jesus, King Jesus invites the bride church, old testament saints, tribulation saints, and millennial saints to the marriage supper of the Lamb during the millennium. This invitation is described at Revelation 19:9 that says And He (Jesus) saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called (invited) unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And He saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. Note that the marriage supper of the Lamb will not occur in heaven. The marriage supper will occur after the tribulation during the millennium when Jesus is king of the earth for 1000 years. The marriage supper has to be delayed until the millennium to include the friends of the bridegroom (tribulation saints that endured to the end of the tribulation along with old testament and millennial saints). The tribulation saints, old testament saints, and millennial saints are guests that must be included with the bride church before the marriage supper of the Lamb can occur on earth during the millennium.

Luke 12:36 gives instructions to the tribulation saints about enduring to be able to attend the marriage supper of the Lamb during the millennium: And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their Lord (Jesus) when He will return from the wedding (note that the wedding has already occurred in heaven between the bride church and Jesus) (Jesus is returning from the wedding in heaven to the earth; not coming to the earth for a wedding); that when He cometh and knocketh, they may open unto Him immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when He cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that He (Jesus) shall gird Himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. Luke 12:40 says Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of Man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

John the Baptist who was considered an old testament saint before the bride church was created by Paul described the friends of the bridegroom invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb proclaiming that he is a friend of the bridegroom. John 3:29 says He that hath the bride (church) is the bridegroom (Jesus): but the friend of the bridegroom (John the Baptist, old testament saints, tribulation saints, and millennial saints), which standeth and heareth Him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. Therefore bridegroom Jesus sends out the invitations for the marriage supper of the Lamb from heaven and celebrates the marriage supper of the Lamb on earth during the millennium with the bride church and the friends of the bridegroom who are the old testament saints, tribulation saints, and millennial saints.

The Marriage Supper Of The Lamb Occurs After Three Come Up Hithers

Come Up Hither Occurs Three Times In The Bible

1) Firstfruits-Resurrection of 144000 Jewish Old Testament Saints

2) Harvest-Resurrection Of The Bride Church

3) Gleanings-Resurrection Of Old Testament And Tribulation Saints

4) Millennial Saints Receive Their Glorified Bodies At The Millennium's End

The Above Four Resurrections Are Called The First Resurrection

A Story About A Man Who Thought He Could Take His Money In The Attic

With Him To Heaven

A man once said "I'm going to put all my money in the attic so that when I die or if I live to see the rapture, I'm going to get the money on the way up." After this man died, his family went up to the attic to see if the man took his money with him to heaven. After the family found the man's money in his safe, the family said "How sad, He went the other way. He should have put his money in the basement."
