The Two Joseph, the Dreamers in the Holy Bible (One in the New Testament and the other in the Old Testament): Read and what's your view

The Two Joseph, the Dreamers in the Holy Bible (One in the New Testament and the other in the Old Testament): Read and what's your view

There are two main Joseph, the dreamers in the Holy Bible:

(1) Joseph, the Carpenter (who is also the earthly father of Jesus Christ and the husband of Virgin Mary).

(2) Joseph, the Son of Jacob (Jacob is also known as Israel in the Holy Bible).

(1) The New Testament Joseph, the Carpenter received instructions from Angels of God through night dreams and he obeyed them totally (Joseph was an obedient man of God).

(A) The first dream had to do with explanations on how Virgin Mary whom he had never slept with before she got pregnant even if they were engaged to each other. And he was told by the angel of God to marry Mary which he did immediately after he woke up. Thus, Joseph the carpenter became the Father of Jesus Christ by obeying the angel of God's instruction to go ahead and marry Virgin Mary and he will always be remembered and mentioned as long as Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary are remembered. This is forever. Thank God for the life well spent of the obedient Joseph, the Carpenter.

According to Matthew 1: 18-24

'THIS WAS HOW THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST TOOK PLACE. HIS MOTHER MARY WAS ENGAGED TO JOSEPH, BUT BEFORE THEY WERE MARRIED, SHE FOUND OUT THAT SHE WAS GOING TO HAVE A BABY BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. JOSEPH WAS A MAN WHO ALWAYS DID WHAT WAS RIGHT, BUT HE DID NOT WANT TO DISGRACE MARY PUBLICLY; SO HE MADE PLANS TO BREAK THE ENGAGEMENT PRIVATELY. WHILE HE WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS, AN ANGEL OF THE LORD APPEARED TO HIM IN A DREAM AND SAID,"JOSEPH, DESCENDANT OF DAVID, DO NOT BE AFRAID TO TAKE MARY TO BE YOUR WIFE. FOR IT IS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT SHE HAS CONCEIVED. SHE WILL HAVE A SON, AND YOU WILL NAME HIM JESUS - BECAUSE HE WILL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS." NOW ALL THIS HAPPENED IN ORDER TO MAKE WHAT THE LORD HAD SAID THROUGH THE PROPHET COME TRUE. "A VIRGIN WILL BECOME PREGNANT AND HAVE A SON, AND HE WILL BE CALLED IMMANUEL" (WHICH MEANS "GOD IS WITH US"). SO WHEN JOSEPH WOKE UP, HE MARRIED MARY, AS THE ANGEL OF THE LORD HAD TOLD HIM TO DO. BUT HE HAD NO SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH HER BEFORE SHE GAVE BIRTH TO HER SON. AND JOSEPH NAMED HIM JESUS.'

(B) The second dream had to do with an angel of God appearing to Joseph, the carpenter to warn him to quickly change his family's location because Jesus Christ's enemy, king Herod, had an active plan to kill his little baby Jesus Christ. He obeyed the angel of God without asking questions and eventually Jesus Christ grew up in this world and saved the world. Those he help to save includes the righteous that lived before him as they rose from the dead the very moment Jesus Christ died on the Cross of Calvary as an adult, then those that followed Him during Him life here on earth and those that accepted after His death and even those that accepts Him after now. This is forever. Thank God for the life well spent of the obedient Joseph, the Carpenter.

According to Matthew 2: 13-18

'AFTER THEY HAD LEFT, AN ANGEL OF THE LORD APPEARED IN A DREAM TO JOSEPH AND SAID, "HEROD WILL BE LOOKING FOR THE CHILD IN ORDER TO KILL HIM. SO GET UP, TAKE THE CHILD AND HIS MOTHER AND ESCAPE TO EGYPT, AND STAY THERE UNTIL I TELL YOU TO LEAVE." JOSEPH GOT UP, TOOK THE CHILD AND HIS MOTHER, AND LEFT DURING THE NIGHT FOR EGYPT, WHERE HE STAYED UNTIL HEROD DIED. THIS WAS DONE TO MAKE WHAT THE LORD HAD SAID THROUGH THE PROPHET COME TRUE, "I CALLED MY SON OUT OF EGYPT." WHEN HEROD REALIZED THAT THE VISITORS FROM THE EAST HAD TRICKED HIM, HE WAS FURIOUS. HE GAVE ORDERS TO KILL ALL THE BOYS IN BETHLEHEM AND ITS NEIGHBOURHOOD WHO WERE TWO YEARS OLD AND YOUNGER - THIS WAS DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH WHAT HE HAD LEARNED FROM THE VISITORS ABOUT THE TIME WHEN THE STAR HAD APPEARED. IN THIS WAY WHAT THE PROPHET JEREMIAH HAD SAID CAME TRUE: "A SOUND IS HEARD IN RAMAH, THE SOUND OF BITTER WEEPING. RACHEL IS CRYING FOR HER CHILDREN; SHE REFUSES TO BE COMFORTED, FOR THEY ARE DEAD."

(2) Joseph, the Dreamer (Son of Jacob and Rachel) in the old testament of the Holy Bible.

(A) Joseph slept and had two glorious futuristic dream (that compliments each other in meaning) which he shared with his family members when he woke up from sleep and it brought unwavering hatred from his brothers. His father (Jacob, also known as Israel), who had always shown him love more than his other brothers, also became angry at him for having wonderful dreams of great future in his sleep. Sometimes in life the very same close people you expect to be happy for you when you share your achievable high dreams are the same ones that might turn around to hate you for it because of envy or fear of you being above them in life.

According to Genesis 37:1-11

'JACOB CONTINUED TO LIVE IN THE LAND OF CANAAN, WHERE HIS FATHER HAD LIVED, AND THIS IS THE STORY OF JACOB'S FAMILY. JOSEPH, A YOUNG MAN OF SEVENTEEN, TOOK CARE OF THE SHEEP AND GOATS WITH HIS BROTHERS, THE SONS OF BILHAH AND ZILPAH, HIS FATHER'S CONCUBINES. HE BROUGHT BAD REPORTS TO HIS FATHER ABOUT WHAT HIS BROTHERS WERE DOING. JACOB LOVED JOSEPH MORE THAN ALL HIS OTHER SONS, BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN BORN TO HIM WHEN HE WAS OLD. HE MADE A LONG ROBE WITH FULL SLEEVES FOR HIM. WHEN HIS BROTHERS SAW THAT THEIR FATHER LOVED JOSEPH MORE THAN HE LOVED THEM, THEY HATED THEIR BROTHER SO MUCH THAT THEY WOULD NOT SPEAK TO HIM IN A FRIENDLY MANNER. ONE NIGHT JOSEPH HAD A DREAM, AND WHEN HE TOLD HIS BROTHERS ABOUT IT, THEY HATED HIM EVEN MORE. HE SAID, "LISTEN TO THE DREAM I HAD. WE WERE ALL IN THE FIELD TYING UP SHEAVES OF WHEAT, WHEN MY SHEAF GOT UP AND STOOD UP STRAIGHT. YOURS FORMED A CIRCLE ROUND MINE AND BOWED DOWN TO IT." "DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING TO BE A KING AND RULE OVER US?" HIS BROTHERS ASKED. SO THEY HATED HIM EVEN MORE BECAUSE OF HIS DREAMS AND BECAUSE OF WHAT HE SAID ABOUT THEM. THEN JOSEPH HAD ANOTHER DREAM AND SAID TO HIS BROTHERS, " I HAD ANOTHER DREAM, IN WHICH I SAW THE SUN, THE MOON, AND ELEVEN STARS BOWING DOWN TO ME." HE ALSO TOLD THE DREAM TO HIS FATHER, AND HIS FATHER SCOLDED HIM: "WHAT KIND OF A DREAM IS THAT? DO YOU THINK THAT YOUR MOTHER, YOUR BROTHERS, AND I ARE GOING TO COME AND BOW DOWN TO YOU?" JOSEPH'S BROTHERS WERE JEALOUS OF HIM, BUT HIS FATHER KEPT THINKING ABOUT THE WHOLE MATTER.'

(B) The reaction of Joseph's blood brothers (in real life) to an ordinary dream that he saw in his sleep was brutal and callous. They almost killed him but ended up selling him into slavery to the Midianites/Ishmaelites. Then they went back to their father Jacob and lied to him that Joseph was eaten/killed by wild animals and their Father mourned deeply for he loved Joseph so much.

NOTE THAT: TWO OF JOSEPH'S BROTHERS LOOKED FOR WAYS TO SAVE HIM BUT THEY ENDED UP BEING ACCOMPLICES FOR A LONG TIME AS THEY AGREED TO LIE TO THEIR FATHER AND OTHERS.

(I) Reuben suggested that instead of killing him, they should throw in a well in the wilderness.

(II)Judah suggested that he should be sold to the Ishmaelites/Midianites.

According to Genesis 37: 20-36

'COME ON NOW, LET'S KILL HIM AND THROW HIS BODY INTO ONE OF THE DRY WELLS. WE CAN SAY THAT A WILD ANIMAL KILLED HIM. THEN WE WILL SEE WHAT BECOMES OF HIS DREAMS." REUBEN HEARD THEM AND TRIED TO SAVE JOSEPH. 'LET'S NOT KILL HIM." HE SAID. "JUST THROW HIM INTO THIS WELL IN THE WILDERNESS, BUT DON'T HURT HIM." HE SAID THIS, PLANNING TO SAVE HIM FROM THEM AND SEND HIM BACK TO HIS FATHER. WHEN JOSEPH CAME UP TO HIS BROTHERS, THEY RIPPED OFF HIS LONG ROBE WITH FULL SLEEVES. THEN THEY TOOK HIM AND THREW HIM INTO THE WELL, WHICH WAS DRY. WHILE THEY WERE EATING, THEY SUDDENLY SAW A GROUP OF ISHMAELITES TRAVELING FROM GILEAD TO EGYPT. THEIR CAMELS WERE LOADED WITH SPICES AND RESINS. JUDAH SAID TO HIS BROTHERS, "WHAT WILL WE GAIN BY KILLING OUR BROTHER AND COVERING UP THE MURDER? LET'S SELL HIM TO THESE ISHMAELITES. THEN WE WON'T HAVE TO HURT HIM; AFTER ALL, HE IS OUR BROTHER, OUR OWN FLESH AND BLOOD." HIS BROTHERS AGREED, AND WHEN SOME MIDIANITE TRADERS CAME BY, THE BROTHERS PULLED JOSEPH OUT OF THE WELL AND SOLD HIM FOR TWENTY PIECES OF SILVER TO ISHMAELITES, WHO TOOK HIM TO EGYPT. WHEN REUBEN CAME BACK TO THE WELL AND FOUND THAT JOSEPH WAS NOT THERE, HE TORE HIS CLOTHES IN SORROW. HE RETURNED TO HIS BROTHERS AND SAID, "THE BOY IS NOT THERE! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?" THEN THEY KILLED A GOAT AND DIPPED JOSEPH'S ROBE IN ITS BLOOD. THEY TOOK THE ROBE TO THEIR FATHER AND SAID, "WE FOUND THIS. DOES IT BELONG TO YOUR SON?" HE RECOGNIZED IT AND SAID, "YES, IT IS HIS! SOME WILD ANIMAL HAS KILLED HIM. MY SON JOSEPH HAS BEEN TORN TO PIECES!" JACOB TORE HIS CLOTHES IN SORROW AND PUT ON SACKCLOTH. HE MOURNED FOR HIS SON A LONG TIME. ALL HIS SONS AND DAUGHTERS CAME TO COMFORT HIM, BUT HE REFUSED TO BE COMFORTED AND SAID, 'I WILL GO DOWN TO THE WORLD OF THE DEAD STILL MOURNING FOR MY SON." SO HE CONTINUED TO MOURN FOR HIS SON JOSEPH. MEANWHILE, IN EGYPT, THE MIDIANITES HAD SOLD JOSEPH TO POTIPHAR, ONE OF THE KING'S OFFICERS, WHO WAS THE CAPTAIN OF THE PALACE GUARD.'

(C) Joseph (Son of Jacob) while in slavery was blessed by God Almighty and this blessing of his also touched the life of Potiphar (his master) and his household because lived with him and worked for him. He obeyed God's commandments even while in slavery.

According to Genesis 39: 1-6

'NOW THE ISHMAELITES HAD TAKEN JOSEPH TO EGYPT AND SOLD HIM TO POTIPHAR, ONE OF THE KING'S OFFICERS, WHO WAS THE CAPTAIN OF THE PALACE GUARD. THE LORD WAS WITH JOSEPH AND MADE HIM SUCCESSFUL. HE LIVED IN THE HOUSE OF HIS EGYPTIAN MASTER, WHO SAW THAT THE LORD WAS WITH JOSEPH AND HAD MADE HIM SUCCESSFUL IN EVERYTHING HE DID. POTIPHAR WAS PLEASED WITH HIM AND MADE HIM HIS PERSONAL SERVANT; SO HE PUT HIM IN CHARGE OF HIS HOUSE AND EVERYTHING HE OWNED. FROM THEN ON, BECAUSE OF JOSEPH THE LORD BLESSED THE HOUSEHOLD OF THE EGYPTIAN AND EVERYTHING THAT HE HAD IN HIS HOUSE AND IN HIS FIELDS. POTIPHAR HANDED OVER EVERYTHING HE HAD TO THE CARE OF JOSEPH AND DID NOT CONCERN HIMSELF WITH ANYTHING EXCEPT THE FOOD HE ATE. JOSEPH WAS WELL-BUILT AND GOOD-LOOKING.'

(D) His dream came to pass in real life at the age of 30. The Joseph of the old testament (Jacob's son) was also a dream interpreter and a solution giver. His ability to interprete dreams and suggest/give solutions to issues/problems gave him a high position (Governor over all of Egypt, thus, the second in command to the King of Egypt). His elder brothers that betrayed and nearly killed him when he was younger ended up bowing to him as he saw in that his beautiful dream when he was seventeen years of age.

NOTE THAT: Joseph brothers' cruelty to him did not stop God's big plan for him from coming to pass in his life and he became the Governor of all of Egypt in a strange land called Egypt even though he was a Canaanite/an Israelite. So, the long wait while in slavery from 17 years of age till 30 years of age was painful but worth it because God was in it and with him all the way.

According to Genesis 41: 25-46

'JOSEPH SAID TO THE KING, "THE TWO DREAMS MEAN THE SAME THING; GOD HAS TOLD YOU WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO. THE SEVEN FAT COWS ARE SEVEN YEARS, AND THE SEVEN FULL EARS OF CORN ARE ALSO SEVEN YEARS; THEY HAVE THE SAME MEANING. THE SEVEN THIN COWS WHICH CAME UP LATER AND THE SEVEN THIN EARS OF CORN SCORCHED BY THE DESERT WIND ARE SEVEN YEARS OF FAMINE. IT IS JUST AS I TOLD YOU - GOD HAS SHOWN YOU WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO. THERE WILL BE SEVEN YEARS OF GREAT PLENTY IN ALL THE LAND OF EGYPT. AFTER THAT, THERE WILL BE SEVEN YEARS OF FAMINE, AND ALL THE GOOD YEARS WILL BE FORGOTTEN, BECAUSE THE FAMINE WILL RUIN THE COUNTRY. THE TIME OF PLENTY WILL BE ENTIRELY FORGOTTEN, BECAUSE THE FAMINE WHICH FOLLOWS WILL BE SO TERRIBLE. THE REPETITION OF YOUR DREAM MEANS THAT THE MATTER IS FIXED BY GOD AND THAT HE WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN IN THE NEAR FUTURE. "NOW YOU SHOULD CHOOSE SOME MAN WITH WISDOM AND INSIGHT AND PUT HIM IN CHARGE OF THE COUNTRY. YOU MUST ALSO APPOINT OTHER OFFICIALS AND TAKE A FIFTH OF THE CROPS DURING THE SEVEN YEARS OF PLENTY. ORDER THEM TO COLLECT ALL THE FOOD DURING THE GOOD YEARS THAT ARE COMING, AND GIVE THEM AUTHORITY TO STORE UP CORN IN THE CITIES AND GUARD IT. THE FOOD WILL BE A RESERVE SUPPLY FOR THE COUNTRY DURING THE SEVEN YEARS OF FAMINE WHICH ARE GOING TO COME IN EGYPT. IN THIS WAY THE PEOPLE WILL NOT STARVE." THE KING AND HIS OFFICIALS APPROVED THIS PLAN, AND HE SAID TO THEM, "WE WILL NEVER FIND A BETTER MAN THAN JOSEPH, A MAN WHO HAS GOD'S SPIRIT IN HIM." THE KING SAID TO JOSEPH, "GOD HAS SHOWN YOU ALL THIS, SO IT IS OBVIOUS THAT YOU HAVE GREATER WISDOM AND INSIGHT THAN ANYONE ELSE. I WILL PUT YOU IN CHARGE OF MY COUNTRY, AND ALL MY PEOPLE WILL OBEY YOUR ORDERS. YOUR AUTHORITY WILL BE SECOND ONLY TO MINE. I NOW APPOINT YOU GOVERNOR OVER ALL EGYPT." THE KING REMOVED FROM HIS FINGER THE RING ENGRAVED WITH THE ROYAL SEAL AND PUT IT ON JOSEPH'S FINGER. HE PUT A FINE LINEN ROBE ON HIM, AND PLACED A GOLD CHAIN ROUND HIS NECK. HE GAVE HIM SECOND ROYAL CHARIOT TO RIDE IN, AND HIS GUARD OF HONOUR WENT AHEAD OF HIM AND CRIED OUT, "MAKE WAY! MAKE WAY!" AND SO JOSEPH WAS APPOINTED GOVERNOR OVER ALL OF EGYPT. THE KING SAID TO HIM, "I AM THE KING - AND NO ONE IN ALL EGYPT SHALL SO MUCH AS LIFT A HAND OR A FOOT WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION." HE GAVE JOSEPH THE EGYPTIAN NAME ZAPHENATH PANEAH, AND HE GAVE HIM A WIFE, ASENATH, THE DAUGHTER OF POTIPHERA, A PRIEST IN THE CITY OF HELIOPOLIS. JOSEPH WAS 30 YEARS OLD WHEN HE BEGAN TO SERVE THE KING OF EGYPT.'

According to Genesis 42: 1-11

WHEN JACOB LEARNT THAT THERE WAS CORN IN EGYPT, HE SAID TO HIS SONS, "WHY DON'T YOU DO SOMETHING? I HEAR THAT THERE IS CORN IN EGYPT; GO THERE AND BUY SOME TO KEEP US FROM STARVING TO DEATH." SO JOSEPH'S TEN HALF-BROTHERS WENT TO BUY CORN IN EGYPT. BUT JACOB DID NOT SEND JOSEPH'S FULL-BROTHER BENJAMIN WITH THEM, BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID THAT SOMETHING MIGHT HAPPEN TO HIM. THE SONS OF JACOB CAME WITH OTHERS TO BUY CORN, BECAUSE THERE WAS FAMINE IN THE LAND OF CANAAN. JOSEPH, AS GOVERNOR OF THE LAND OF EGYPT, WAS SELLING CORN TO PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. SO JOSEPH'S BROTHERS CAME AND BOWED DOWN BEFORE HIM WITH THEIR FACES TO THE GROUND. WHEN JOSEPH SAW HIS BROTHERS, HE RECOGNIZED THEM, BUT HE ACTED AS IF HE DID NOT KNOW THEM. HE ASKED THEM HARSHLY, "WHERE DO YOU COME FROM?" "WE HAVE COME FROM CANAAN TO BUY FOOD," THEY ANSWERED. ALTHOUGH JOSEPH RECOGNIZED HIS BROTHERS, THEY DID NOT RECOGNIZE HIM. HE REMEMBERED THE DREAMS HE HAD DREAMT ABOUT THEM AND SAID, "YOU ARE SPIES; YOU HAVE COME TO FIND OUR WHERE OUT COUNTRY IS WEAK." "NO SIR," THEY ANSWERED. "WE HAVE COME AS YOUR SLAVES, TO BUY FOOD. WE ARE ALL BROTHERS. WE ARE NOT SPIES, SIR, WE ARE HONEST MEN."

Christ is the Savior: Read and what's your view

Christ is the Savior: Read and what's your view

(1) The Joy of the Lord is your strength. What do you care if the world ends in the year 5030 or above or below? What you must care about is the day you will die and leave this world because after death comes the final judgement on you which will determine where you will spend your eternity after you die? Once you die, it means the Kingdom of God in already at hand for you to be judged by God based on the way you lived your life on this earth throughout. Who, where, what and how is the way? Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. Nobody will live forever on this earth in his/her normal human flesh but God can save your body, spirit, soul etc while you are still in your normal human body here on earth/in this world. Just do well to avoid God's punishment because His punishment is hellish in nature. For instance, do you remember that there is a fiery furnace also called hell fire? Hell fire is the ultimate and final God's punishment.

According to John 3: 31-36

'HE WHO COMES FROM ABOVE IS GREATER THAN ALL. HE WHO IS FROM THE EARTH BELONGS TO THE EARTH AND SPEAKS ABOUT EARTHLY MATTERS, BUT HE WHO COMES FROM HEAVEN IS ABOVE ALL. HE TELLS WHAT HE HAS SEEN AND HEARD, YET NO ONE ACCEPTS HIS MESSAGE. BUT WHOEVER ACCEPTS HIS MESSAGE CONFIRMS BY THIS THAT GOD IS TRUTHFUL. THE ONE WHOM GOD HAS SENT SPEAKS GOD'S WORDS, BECAUSE GOD GIVES HIM THE FULLNESS OF HIS SPIRIT. THE FATHER LOVES HIS SON AND HAS PUT EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER. WHOEVER BELIEVES IN THE SON HAS ETERNAL LIFE; WHOEVER DISOBEYS THE SON WILL NOT HAVE LIFE, BUT WILL REMAIN UNDER GOD'S PUNISHMENT.'

(2) Nobody will live on this earth forever/for eternity and we all have to remember this. I am sure you know one or two persons or more that have died before now, just know that will be you one day. That's why the Heavenly race is called a personal race. Fight the good fight for your spirit, soul and body to forever belong to God Almighty. Go to where people mourn to remind you that you too will die one day no matter the level of riches you have or the level of poverty you live in now here on earth/in this world. Human wisdom, knowledge and understanding can't help you live your life in the way that is right by God. But the wisdom that comes from God can give you wisdom, knowledge and understanding that will help you live your life in the way of the Lord. The way of the Lord is Jesus Christ. Remember that: Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life.

According to Ecclesiastes 7: 1-29; 8:1

'A GOOD REPUTATION IS BETTER THAN EXPENSIVE PERFUME; AND THE DAY YOU DIE IS BETTER THAN THE DAY YOU ARE BORN. IT IS BETTER TO GO TO A HOME WHERE THERE IS MOURNING THAN TO ONE WHERE THERE IS A PARTY, BECAUSE THE LIVING SHOULD ALWAYS REMIND THEMSELVES THAT DEATH IS WAITING FOR US ALL. SORROW IS BETTER THAN LAUGHTER; IT MAY SADDEN YOUR FACE, BUT IT SHARPENS YOUR UNDERSTANDING. SOMEONE WHO IS ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT HAPPINESS IS A FOOL. A WISE PERSON THINKS ABOUT DEATH. IT IS BETTER TO HAVE WISE PEOPLE REPRIMAND YOU THAN TO HAVE STUPID PEOPLE SING YOUR PRAISES. WHEN A FOOL LAUGHS, IT IS LIKE THORNS CRACKLING IN A FIRE. IT DOESN'T MEAN A THING. YOU MAY BE WISE, BUT IF YOU CHEAT SOMEONE, YOU ARE ACTING LIKE A FOOL. IF YOU TAKE A BRIBE, YOU RUIN YOUR CHARACTER. THE END OF ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN ITS BEGINNING. PATIENCE IS BETTER THAN PRIDE. KEEP YOUR TEMPER UNDER CONTROL; IT IS FOOLISH TO HARBOUR A GRUDGE. NEVER ASK, "OH, WHY WERE THINGS SO MUCH BETTER IN THE OLD DAYS?" IT'S NOT AN INTELLIGENT QUESTION. EVERYONE WHO LIVES OUGHT TO BE WISE; IT IS AS GOOD AS RECEIVING AN INHERITANCE AND WILL GIVE YOU AS MUCH SECURITY AS MONEY CAN. WISDOM KEEPS YOU SAFE - THIS IS THE ADVANTAGE OF KNOWLEDGE. THINK ABOUT WHAT GOD HAS DONE. HOW CAN ANYONE STRAIGHTEN WHAT GOD HAS MADE CROOKED? WHEN THINGS ARE GOING WELL FOR YOU, BE GLAD, AND WHEN TROUBLE COMES, JUST REMEMBER: GOD SENDS BOTH HAPPINESS AND TROUBLE; YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. MY LIFE HAS BEEN USELESS, BUT IN IT I HAVE SEEN EVERYTHING. SOME GOOD PEOPLE MAY DIE WHILE OTHERS LIVE ON, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE EVIL. SO DON'T BE TOO GOOD OR TOO WISE - WHY KILL YOURSELF? BUT DON'T BE TOO WICKED OR TOO FOOLISH, EITHER - WHY DIE BEFORE YOU HAVE TO? AVOID BOTH EXTREMES. IF YOU HAVE REVERENCE FOR GOD, YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL ANYWAY. WISDOM DOES MORE FOR A PERSON THAN TEN RULERS CAN DO FOR A CITY. THERE IS NO ONE ON EARTH WHO DOES WHAT IS RIGHT ALL THE TIME AND NEVER MAKES A MISTAKE. DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO EVERYTHING PEOPLE SAY - YOU MAY HEAR YOUR SERVANT INSULTING YOU, AND YOU KNOW YOURSELF THAT YOU HAVE INSULTED OTHER PEOPLE MANY TIMES. I USED MY WISDOM TO TEST ALL OF THIS. I WAS DETERMINED TO BE WISE, BUT IT WAS BEYOND ME. HOW CAN ANYONE DISCOVER WHAT LIFE MEANS? IT IS TOO DEEP FOR US, TOO HARD TO UNDERSTAND. BUT I DEVOTED MYSELF TO KNOWLEDGE AND STUDY; I WAS DETERMINED TO FIND WISDOM AND THE ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS, AND TO LEARN HOW WICKED AND FOOLISH STUPIDITY IS. I FOUND SOMETHING MORE BITTER THAN DEATH - THE WOMAN WHO IS LIKE A TRAP. THE LOVE SHE OFFERS YOU WILL CATCH YOU LIKE A NET; AND HER ARMS ROUND YOU WILL HOLD YOU LIKE A CHAIN. A MAN WHO PLEASES GOD CAN GET AWAY, BUT SHE WILL CATCH THE SINNER. YES, SAID THE PHILOSOPHER, I FOUND THIS OUT LITTLE BY LITTLE WHILE I WAS LOOKING FOR ANSWERS. I HAVE LOOKED FOR OTHER ANSWERS BUT HAVE FOUND NONE. I FOUND ONE MAN IN A THOUSAND THAT I COULD RESPECT, BUT NOT ONE WOMAN. THIS IS ALL THAT I HAVE LEARNT: GOD MADE US PLAIN AND SIMPLE, BUT WE HAVE MADE OURSELVES VERY COMPLICATED. ONLY THE WISE KNOW WHAT THINGS REALLY MEAN. WISDOM MAKES THEM SMILE AND MAKES THEIR FROWN DISAPPEAR.'

(3) No one knows tomorrow except the things that God chooses to reveal to His chosen ones. For many are called but few are chosen.

NOTE THAT: WHETHER THE RIGHTEOUS ONE IS THE ACCUSED OR THE DEFENDANT, TALKING ABOUT SET UP IN THIS LIFE/WORLD WHERE ALL THE EVIDENCES BROUGHT AGAINST YOU HAVE BEEN TAMPERED WITH AND THERE ARE FALSE WITNESSES ("LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENS IN THE WORLD: SOMETIMES THE RIGHTEOUS GET THE PUNISHMENT OF THE WICKED, AND THE WICKED GET THE REWARD OF THE RIGHTEOUS. I SAY IT IS USELESS). REMEMBER THAT: "JESUS CHRIST IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE."

According to Ecclesiastes 8: 9-17; 9: 1-2

'I SAW ALL THIS WHEN I THOUGHT ABOUT THE THINGS THAT ARE DONE IN THIS WORLD, A WORLD WHERE SOME PEOPLE HAVE POWER AND OTHERS HAVE TO SUFFER UNDER THEM. YES, I HAVE SEEN THE WICKED BURIED AND IN THEIR GRAVES, BUT ON THE WAY BACK FROM THE CEMETERY PEOPLE PRAISE THEM IN THE VERY CITY WHERE THEY DID THEIR EVIL. IT IS USELESS. WHY DO PEOPLE COMMIT CRIMES SO READILY? BECAUSE CRIME IS NOT PUNISHED QUICKLY ENOUGH. A SINNER MAY COMMIT A HUNDRED CRIMES AND STILL LIVE. OH YES, I KNOW WHAT THEY SAY: "IF YOU OBEY GOD, EVERYTHING WILL BE ALL RIGHT, BUT IT WILL NOT GO WELL FOR THE WICKED. THEIR LIFE IS LIKE A SHADOW AND THEY WILL DIE YOUNG, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT OBEY GOD." BUT THIS IS NONSENSE. LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENS IN THE WORLD: SOMETIMES THE RIGHTEOUS GET THE PUNISHMENT OF THE WICKED, AND THE WICKED GET THE REWARD OF THE RIGHTEOUS. I SAY IT IS USELESS. SO I AM CONVINCED THAT WE SHOULD ENJOY OURSELVES, BECAUSE THE ONLY PLEASURE WE HAVE IN THIS LIFE IS EATING AND DRINKING AND ENJOYING OURSELVES. WE CAN AT LEAST DO THIS AS WE LABOUR DURING THE LIFE THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US IN THIS WORLD. WHENEVER I TRIED TO BECOME WISE AND LEARN WHAT GOES ON IN THE WORLD, I REALIZED THAT YOU COULD STAY AWAKE NIGHT AND DAY AND NEVER BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT GOD IS DOING. HOWEVER HARD YOU TRY, YOU WILL NEVER FIND OUT. THE WISE MAY CLAIM TO KNOW, BUT THEY DON'T. I THOUGHT LONG AND HARD ABOUT ALL THIS AND SAW THAT GOD CONTROLS THE ACTIONS OF WISE AND RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE, EVEN THEIR LOVE AND THEIR HATE. NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT LIES AHEAD.'

(4) Follow Jesus Christ (God, the Son) who is the wisest of the wisest and so can detect your wrong doings and also show you the way of righteousness and cleansing for you to be put right with Him. Also, no problem/trouble/wahala is too much for God to save you from. Remember that: "Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life."

Sirach 2: 1-10

'MY CHILD, IF YOU ARE GOING TO SERVE THE LORD, BE PREPARED FOR TIMES WHEN YOU WILL BE PUT TO THE TEST. BE SINCERE AND DETERMINED. KEEP CALM WHEN TROUBLE COMES. STAY WITH THE LORD; NEVER ABANDON HIM, AND YOU WILL BE PROSPEROUS AT THE END OF YOUR DAYS. ACCEPT WHATEVER HAPPENS TO YOU. EVEN IF YOU SUFFER HUMILIATION, BE PATIENT. GOLD IS TESTED BY FIRE, AND HUMAN CHARACTER IS TESTED IN THE FURNACE OF HUMILIATION. TRUST THE LORD, AND HE WILL HELP YOU. WALK STRAIGHT IN HIS WAYS, AND PUT YOUR HOPE HIM. ALL YOU THAT FEAR THE LORD, WAIT FOR HIM TO SHOW YOU HIS MERCY. DO NOT TURN AWAY FROM HIM, OR YOU WILL FALL. ALL YOU THAT FEAR THE LORD, TRUST HIM, AND YOU WILL CERTAINLY BE REWARDED. ALL YOU THAT FEAR THE LORD, LOOK FORWARD TO HIS BLESSINGS OF MERCY AND ETERNAL HAPPINESS. THINK BACK TO THE ANCIENT GENERATIONS AND CONSIDER THIS: HAS THE LORD EVER DISAPPOINTED ANYONE WHO PUT HIS HOPE IN HIM? HAS THE LORD EVER ABANDONED ANYONE WHO HELD HIM IN CONSTANT REVERENCE? HAS THE LORD EVER IGNORED ANYONE WHO PRAYED TO HIM?'

(5) Be good to the genuinely poor people through the physical things you give to them. A hungry person can still be without resentment or anger no matter how desperate his or her situation may be so, never give a hungry man a cause for resentment or anger as we are instructed in the Holy Bible. This means that: "Not every hungry man is an angry man." Something or someone else triggers the anger, bitterness or resentment. What a hungry man may have already are troubles, distress and desperation. Showing kindness instigating the poor and the less privileged in the world paves way for your future through help from unexpected/expected places/persons to you. God created both the rich and poor alike in His own image and likeness. God can bless both the rich and the poor with the Holy Spirit of Wisdom, all you need do when they talk is listen. There are things you can do that can make God love you more than your own biological mother does (These things you can do are: Don't ignore the poor; the orphans; the widows; and those that are about to be wronged by the wicked/evil ones) and, this can only come from love. God is love and He teaches us to love too. Just remember that: "Jesus Christ (God, the Son) is the way, the truth and the life."

According to Sirach 3: 30-31; 4: 1-10

'GIVING TO THE POOR CAN MAKE UP FOR SINS, JUST AS WATER CAN PUT OUT A BLAZING FIRE. ANYONE WHO RESPONDS TO OTHERS WITH ACTS OF KINDNESS IS THINKING OF THE FUTURE, BECAUSE HE WILL FIND HELP IF HE EVER FALLS ON HARD TIMES. MY CHILD DON'T PREVENT THE POOR FROM MAKING A LIVING, OR KEEP THEM WAITING IN THEIR NEED. NEVER GIVE A HUNGRY PERSON ANY CAUSE FOR RESENTMENT OR ANGER. DON'T ADD TO THE TROUBLES OF SOMEONE WHO IS ALREADY DESPERATE. IF HE IS IN NEED, DON'T PUT OFF GIVING TO HIM. DON'T REFUSE TO HELP A BEGGAR WHO IS IN DISTRESS. DON'T TURN YOUR BACK ON A POOR PERSON OR GIVE HIM ANY REASON TO CURSE YOU. IF HE BECOMES SO BITTER THAT HE DOES CURSE YOU, HIS CREATOR WILL HEAR HIS PRAYER. MAKE YOURSELF POPULAR IN THE SYNAGOGUE. BOW YOUR HEAD TO MEN OF AUTHORITY. LISTEN TO WHAT THE POOR HAVE TO SAY, AND ANSWER THEM POLITELY. PROTECT PEOPLE FROM THOSE WHO WANT TO WRONG THEM AND BE FIRM IN YOUR JUDGEMENTS. BE LIKE A FATHER TO ORPHANS, AND PROVIDE WIDOWS WITH THE HELP THEIR HUSBANDS CAN NO LONGER GIVE THEM. THEN YOU WILL BE LIKE A CHILD OF THE MOST HIGH, AND HE WILL LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOUR OWN MOTHER DOES.'

(6) Jesus Christ asked everyone to:

THIS PARTICULAR FIRST STEP MAKES PEOPLE ENTER THE ETERNAL LIFE: Keep the commandments of God.

THIS PARTICULAR SECOND STEP MAKES PEOPLE PERFECT, MOST ESPECIALLY RICH PEOPLE: (a) Give money to the genuinely poor people gives one riches in heaven, (b) then follow Jesus Christ after starting your giving to the genuinely poor journey.

According to Matthew 19: 16-21

'ONCE A MAN CAME TO JESUS. "TEACHER," HE ASKED, "WHAT GOOD THING MUST I DO TO RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE?" "WHY DO YOU ASK ME CONCERNING WHAT IS GOOD?" ANSWERED JESUS. "THERE IS ONLY ONE WHO IS GOOD. KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS IF YOU WANT TO ENTER LIFE." "WHAT COMMAND-MENTS?" HE ASKED. JESUS ANSWERED, "DO NOT COMMIT MURDER; DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY; DO NOT STEAL; DO NOT ACCUSE ANYONE FALSELY; RESPECT YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER; AND LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF." "I HAVE OBEYED ALL THESE COMMANDMENTS," THE YOUNG MAN REPLIED. "WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO DO?" JESUS SAID TO HIM, "IF YOU WANT TO BE PERFECT, GO AND SELL ALL YOU HAVE AND GIVE THE MONEY TO THE POOR, AND YOU WILL HAVE RICHES IN HEAVEN; THEN COME AND FOLLOW ME." WHEN THE YOUNG MAN HEARD THIS, HE WENT AWAY SAD, BECAUSE HE WAS VERY RICH.

Before and After the Birth of Jesus Christ: Read and what's your view

Before and After the Birth of Jesus Christ: Read and what's your view

Note that Jesus Christ existed before the world/earth was made/created.

'IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD AND THE WORD WAS GOD.'

The 'WORD' here signifies/means Jesus Christ (God, the son).

Click and Read this also: https://takeitokayokay.blogspot.com/2023/03/the-word-read-and-whats-your-view.html

God answered prayers and loved mankind even before Jesus Christ (God, the Son) was conceived and born into this world.

(I) BEFORE THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST:

(1) The God of our ancestors (that is, the God of Heaven and earth) answers prayers in a grand/great style.

According to Exodus 3: 11-22

'BUT MOSES SAID TO GOD, "I AM NOBODY, HOW CAN I GO TO THE KING AND BRING THE ISRAELITES OUT OF EGYPT?" GOD ANSWERED, "I WILL BE WITH YOU, AND WHEN YOU BRING THE PEOPLE OUT OF EGYPT, YOU WILL WORSHIP ME ON THIS MOUNTAIN. THAT WILL BE THE PROOF THAT I HAVE SENT YOU." BUT MOSES REPLIED, "WHEN I GO TO THE ISRAELITES AND SAY TO THEM, 'THE GOD OF YOUR ANCESTORS SENT ME TO YOU, THEY WILL ASK ME, 'WHAT IS HIS NAME?' SO, WHAT CAN I TELL THEM?" GOD SAID, "I AM WHO I AM." THIS IS WHAT YOU MUST SAY TO THEM: "THE ONE WHO IS CALLED I AM HAS SENT ME TO YOU." TELL THE ISRAELITES THAT I, THE LORD, THE GOD OF THEIR ANCESTORS, THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB, HAVE SENT YOU TO THEM. THIS IS MY NAME FOR EVER; THIS IS WHAT ALL FUTURE GENERATIONS ARE TO CALLED ME. GO AND GATHER THE LEADERS OF ISRAEL TOGETHER AND TELL THEM THAT I, THE LORD, THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB, APPEARED TO YOU. TELL THEM THAT I HAVE COME TO THEM AND HAVE SEEN WHAT THE EGYPTIANS ARE DOING TO THEM. I HAVE DECIDED THAT I WILL BRING THEM OUT OF EGYPT, WHERE THEY ARE BEING TREATED CRUELLY, AND WILL TAKE THEM TO A RICH AND FERTILE LAND - THE LAND OF THE CANAANITES, HITTITES, THE AMORITES, THE PERIZZITES, HIVITES, AND THE JEBUSITES. "MY PEOPLE WILL LISTEN TO WHAT YOU SAY TO THEM. THEN YOU MUST GO WITH THE LEADERS OF ISRAEL TO THE KING OF EGYPT AND SAY TO HIM, "THE LORD, THE GOD OF THE HEBREWS, HAS REVEALED HIMSELF TO US. NOW ALLOW US TO TRAVEL FOR THREE DAYS INTO THE DESERT TO OFFER SACRIFICES TO THE LORD, OUR GOD.' I KNOW THAT THE KING OF EGYPT WILL NOT LET YOU GO UNLESS HE IS FORCED TO DO SO. BUT I WILL USE MY POWER AND WILL PUNISH EGYPT BY DOING TERRIFYING THINGS THERE. AFTER THAT HE WILL LET YOU GO. I WILL MAKE THE EGYPTIANS RESPECT YOU SO THAT WHEN MY PEOPLE LEAVE, THEY WILL NOT GO EMPTY-HANDED. EVERY ISRAELITE WOMAN WILL GO TO HER EGYPTIAN NEIGHBOURS AND TO ANY EGYPTIAN WOMAN LIVING AND FOR GOLD AND SILVER JEWELLERY. THE ISRAELITES WILL PUT THESE THINGS ON THEIR SONS AND DAUGHTERS AND CARRY AWAY THE WEALTH OF THE EGYPTIANS."

(2) The promises of God never changes and obedience of the law must come willingly from the depth of your hearts.

According to Deuteronomy 26: 16-19

"TODAY THE LORD YOUR GOD COMMANDS YOU TO OBEY ALL HIS LAWS; SO OBEY THEM FAITHFULLY WITH ALL YOUR HEARTS. TODAY YOU HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE LORD AS YOUR GOD; YOU HAVE PROMISED TO OBEY HIM, TO KEEP ALL HIS LAWS, AND TO DO ALL THAT HE COMMANDS. TODAY THE LORD HAS ACCEPTED YOU AS HIS OWN PEOPLE, AS HE PROMISED YOU; AND HE COMMANDS YOU TO OBEY ALL HIS LAWS. HE WILL MAKE YOU GREATER THAN ANY OTHER NATION THAT HE HAS CREATED, AND YOU WILL BRING PRAISE AND HONOUR TO HIS NAME. YOU WILL BE HIS OWN PEOPLE, AS HE PROMISED."

(3) With God, you can defeat Kings and any other persons of High positions and status.

According to Joshua 12: 1-6

'THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL HAD ALREADY CONQUERED AND OCCUPIED THE LAND EAST OF THE JORDAN, FROM THE ARNON VALLEY UP THE JORDAN VALLEY AND AS FAR NORTH AS MOUNT HERMON. THEY DEFEATED TWO KINGS. ONE WAS SIHON, THE AMORITE KING WHO RULED AT HESHBON. HIS KINGDOM INCLUDED HALF OF GILEAD: FROM AROER (ON THE EDGE OF THE VALLEY OF THE ARNON) AND THE CITY IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT VALLEY, AS FAR AS THE RIVER JABBOK, THE BORDER OF AMMON; IT INCLUDED THE JORDAN VALLEY FROM LAKE GALILEE SOUTH TO BETH JESHIMOTH (EAST OF THE DEAD SEA) AND ON TOWARDS THE FOOT OF MOUNT PISGAH. THEY ALSO DEFEATED KING OG OF BASHAN, WHO WAS ONE OF THE LAST OF THE REPHAIM; HE RULED AT ASHTAROTH AND EDREI. HIS KINGDOM INCLUDED MOUNT HERMON, SALECAH, AND ALL OF BASHAN AS FAR AS THE BOUNDARIES OF GESHUR AND MAACAH, AS WELL AS HALF OF GILEAD, AS FAR AS THE TERRITORY OF KING SIHON OF HESHBON. THESE TWO KINGS WERE DEFEATED BY MOSES AND THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL. MOSES, THE LORD'S SERVANT, GAVE THEIR LAND TO THE TRIBES OF REUBEN AND GAD AND TO HALF THE TRIBE OF MANASSEH, TO BE THEIR POSSESSION.'

(II) "God, the son" (also called Jesus Christ) came to die for our sins through the power of the "Spirit of God" (also called the Holy Spirit) when He was conceived and with the consent of "I AM WHO I AM" (also called God, the Father).

NOTE THAT JESUS CHRIST CAN BE SAID TO BE THE ADOPTED SON OF JOSEPH, THE CARPENTER WHO MARRIED MARY EVEN AFTER SHE GOT PREGNANT BY THE POWER AND DESCENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ON HER. SO VIRGIN MARY WAS HIS BIOLOGICAL MOTHER WHILE JOSEPH WAS THE FOSTER/ADOPTION FATHER AND THE HOLY BIBLE STILL ACKNOWLEDGES HIM AS HIS FATHER ON THIS EARTH WE ALL LIVE IN AND SO ALL THE ANCESTORS OF JOSEPH, THE CARPENTER AND THE EARTHLY HUSBAND OF VIRGIN MARY BECAME JESUS CHRIST'S EARTHLY ANCESTORS TOO ONCE HE ACCEPTED HIM AS HIS SON AFTER THE ANGEL APPEARED TO HIM IN HIS DREAM. AFTERALL, GOD CAREFULLY CHOSE THE ANCESTORS OF JOSEPH LONG TIME AGO TO BE THE ANCESTORS OF JESUS CHRIST. IT IS NOT A MERE COINCIDENCE.

(III) AFTER THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST:

(1) Jesus Christ's earthly lineage/ancestors can be traced from Abraham (the Father of all Nations) to King David (the Father of King Solomon) and so on and so forth as described in the Holy Bible, thus, Jesus Christ is a descendant of King Solomon (the author and writer of "SONG OF SONGS" also known as "SONGS OF SOLOMON"). King Solomon was the wisest man that ever lived as God granted him his wish and request and gave him even more. The other name of Jesus Christ which is called "Immanuel" means God is with us"). GOD IS WITH US ANNOUNCED FURTHER THAT GOD HAS COME STAY WITH US IN HUMAN FLESH BACK THEN BUT NONE OF THEM UNDERSTOOD. IT WAS JUST A NORMAL NAME TO ALL BACK THEN.

NOTE THAT: JOSEPH, THE CARPENTER AND MARY, THE PREGNANT VIRGIN HAD A VERY QUICK MARRIAGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE DREAM THAT REVEALED ALL THE TRUTH THAT MARY WAS KEEPING TO HERSELF. THE TYPE OF QUICK MARRIAGE THAT SOME CALL "SHARP SHARP MARRIAGE" IN THIS DAY AND TIME EVEN IF THEY WERE ALREADY ENGAGED AT THAT TIME AS RIGHTLY TOLD IN THE HOLY BIBLE.

QUESTION TO BE ANSWERED BY YOU ALL WHO KNOWS, IN RELATION TO THE BIBLE PASSAGE BELOW AS SEEN IN THE BOOK OF MATTHEW:

(a) THE BIBLICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE NUMBER FOURTEEN IN OUR LIVES TODAY?

(b) THE BIBLICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF EACH FOURTEEN GENERATIONS IN OUR LIVES TODAY?

(c) THE BIBLICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THREE CONSECUTIVE FOURTEEN GENERATIONS IN OUR LIVES TODAY?

According to Matthew 1:1-25

'THIS IS THE LIST OF THE ANCESTORS OF JESUS CHRIST, A DESCENDANT OF DAVID, WHO WAS A DESCENDANT OF ABRAHAM. FROM ABRAHAM TO KING DAVID, THE FOLLOWING ANCESTORS ARE LISTED: ABRAHAM, ISAAC, JACOB, JUDAH AND HIS BROTHERS; THEN PEREZ AND ZERAH (THEIR MOTHER WAS TAMAR), HEZRON, RAM, AMMINADAB, NAHSHON, SALMON, BOAZ (HIS MOTHER WAS RAHAB), OBED (HIS MOTHER WAS RUTH), JESSE, AND KING DAVID. FROM DAVID TO THE TIME WHEN THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL WERE TAKEN INTO EXILE IN BABYLON, THE FOLLOWING ANCESTORS ARE LISTED: DAVID, SOLOMON (HIS MOTHER WAS THE WOMAN WHO HAD BEEN URIAH'S WIFE), REHOBOAM, ABIJAH, ASA, JEHOSHAPHAT, JEHORAM, UZZIAH, JOTHAM, AHAZ, HEZEKIAH, MANASSEH, AMON, JOSIAH, AND JEHOIACHIN AND HIS BROTHERS. FROM THE TIME AFTER THE EXILE IN BABYLON TO THE BIRTH OF JESUS, THE FOLLOWING ANCESTORS ARE LISTED: JEHOIACHIN, SHEALTIEL, ZERUBBABEL, ABIUD, ELIAKIM, AZOR, ZADOK, ACHIM, ELIUD, ELEAZAR, MATTHAN, JACOB, AND JOSEPH, WHO MARRIED MARY, THE MOTHER OF JESUS, WHO WAS CALLED THE MESSIAH. SO THEN, THERE WERE FOURTEEN GENERATIONS FROM ABRAHAM TO DAVID, AND FOURTEEN FROM DAVID TO THE EXILE IN BABYLON, AND FOURTEEN FROM THEN TO THE BIRTH OF THE MESSIAH. THIS WAS HOW THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST TOOK PLACE. HIS MOTHER MARY WAS ENGAGED TO JOSEPH, BUT BEFORE THEY WERE MARRIED, SHE FOUND OUT THAT SHE WAS GOING TO HAVE A BABY BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. JOSEPH WAS A MAN WHO ALWAYS DID WHAT WAS RIGHT, BUT HE DID NOT WANT TO DISGRACE MARY PUBLICLY; SO HE MADE PLANS TO BREAK THE ENGAGEMENT PRIVATELY. WHILE HE WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS, AN ANGEL OF THE LORD APPEARED TO HIM IN A DREAM AND SAID, "JOSEPH, DESCENDANT OF DAVID, DO NOT BE AFRAID TO TAKE MARY TO BE YOUR WIFE. FOR IT IS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT SHE HAS CONCEIVED. SHE WILL HAVE A SON, AND YOU WILL NAME HIM JESUS - BECAUSE HE WILL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS." NOW ALL THIS HAPPENED IN ORDER TO MAKE WHAT THE LORD HAD SAID THROUGH THE PROPHET COME TRUE. "A VIRGIN WILL BECOME PREGNANT AND HAVE A SON, AND HE WILL BE CALLED IMMANUEL" (WHICH MEANS, "GOD IS WITH US"). SO WHEN JOSEPH WOKE UP, HE MARRIED MARY, AS THE ANGEL OF THE LORD HAD TOLD HIM TO DO. BUT HE HAD NO SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH HER BEFORE SHE GAVE BIRTH TO HER SON. AND JOSEPH NAMED HIM JESUS.'

(2) Once you come to Jesus Christ (God, the Son) and accept him as your Lord and Master, you will find rest because all your battles are already won through Him (Jesus Christ, our Lord and Master).

According to Matthew 11: 25-30

'AT THAT TIME JESUS SAID, "FATHER, LORD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH! I THANK YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE SHOWN TO THE UNLEARNED WHAT YOU HAVE HIDDEN FROM THE WISE AND LEARNED. YES, FATHER, THIS WAS HOW YOU WANTED IT TO HAPPEN. "MY FATHER HAS GIVEN ME ALL THINGS. NO ONE KNOWS THE SON EXCEPT THE FATHER, AND NO ONE KNOWS THE FATHER EXCEPT THE SON AND THOSE TO WHOM THE SON CHOOSES TO REVEAL HIM. "COME TO ME, ALL OF YOU WHO ARE TIRED FROM CARRYING HEAVY LOADS, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST. TAKE MY YOKE AND PUT IT ON YOU, AND LEARN FROM ME, BECAUSE I AM GENTLE AND HUMBLE IN SPIRIT; AND YOU WILL FIND REST. FOR THE YOKE I WILL GIVE YOU IS EASY, AND THE LOAD I WILL PUT ON YOU IS LIGHT."

(3) The promises of God in the above old testament Bible passage in No. 1 of this write-up can be fulfilled nowadays if and when you love God and people not by human beings compliments and standards but by God's high and very achievable standards. There is no need for animals and other physical sacrifices because Jesus Christ (God, the Son) is the one-time sacrifice that has been made as He offered His life due to the love He has for mankind. You need to love yourself first before you can love your neighbor as you love yourself. A person who doesn't love him or herself cannot fully love his neighbor as her or she should have loved him or herself because that person doesn't love him or herself in the first instance.

NOTE THAT: THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD (Jesus said and I quote 👇: "THE LORD OUR GOD IS THE ONLY LORD).

According to Mark 12: 28-38

'A TEACHER OF THE LAW WAS THERE WHO HEARD THE DISCUSSION. HE SAW THAT JESUS HAD GIVEN THE SADDUCEES A GOOD ANSWER, SO HE CAME TO HIM WITH A QUESTION: "WHICH COMMANDMENT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL?" JESUS REPLIED, "THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE IS THIS: 'LISTEN, ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS THE ONLY LORD. LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.' THE SECOND MOST IMPORTANT COMMANDMENT IS THIS: 'LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF.' THERE IS NO OTHER COMMANDMENT MORE IMPORTANT THAN THESE TWO." THE TEACHER OF THE LAW SAID TO JESUS, "WELL DONE, TEACHER! IT IS TRUE, AS YOU SAY, THAT ONLY THE LORD IS GOD AND THAT THERE IS NO OTHER GOD BUT HE. AND TO LOVE GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND TO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF, IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN TO OFFER ANIMALS AND OTHER SACRIFICES TO GOD." JESUS NOTICED HOW WISE HIS ANSWER WAS, AND SO HE TOLD HIM, "YOU ARE NOT FAR FROM THE KINGDOM OF GOD." JESUS NOTICED HOW WISE HIS ANSWER WAS, AND SO HE TOLD HIM, "YOU ARE NOT FAR FROM THE KINGDOM OF GOD." AFTER THIS NOBODY DARED TO ASK JESUS ANY MORE QUESTIONS.'

(4) Jesus Christ asked everyone to:

THIS PARTICULAR FIRST STEP MAKES PEOPLE ENTER THE ETERNAL LIFE: Keep the commandments of God.

According to Matthew 19: 16-21

Jesus Christ (God, the Son) as A Highly Connected Famous Man: Read and what's your view

Jesus Christ (God, the Son) as A Highly Connected Famous Man: Read and what's your view

(1) Jesus Christ of Nazareth (God, the Son) was always on the move. He didn't stay in one place or area because of work of spreading the word of God. The work of God is without any special rest for the labourers. The harvest is plenty but the labourers are few. Jesus says follow me no matter what.

According to Matthew 8:18-22

WHEN JESUS NOTICED THE CROWD AROUND HIM, HE ORDERED HIS DISCIPLES TO GO TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LAKE. A TEACHER OF THE LAW CAME TO HIM. "TEACHER," HE SAID, "I AM READY TO GO WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO." JESUS ANSWERED HIM, "FOXES HAVE HOLES , AND BIRDS HAVE NESTS, BUT THE SON OF MAN HAS NOWHERE TO LIE DOWN AND REST." ANOTHER MAN, WHO WAS A DISCIPLE, SAID, "SIR, FIRST LET ME GO BACK AND BURY MY FATHER." "FOLLOW ME," JESUS ANSWERED, "AND LET THE DEAD BURY THEIR OWN DEAD."

(2) Mary Magdalene did not recognize Jesus Christ after He resurrected from the dead and mistook Him for a gardener and this was likely because he looked as simple as a gardener unlike what she was used to before Jesus' death on the Cross of Calvary.

According to Mary Magdalene's story in the Holy Bible

(3) Jesus Christ had few secret high connections with people in respectable positions/high authorities who accepted Him and His teachings even if His earthly Father (the Husband of Virgin Mary) was a carpenter.

According to the short story of Joseph of Arimathea and, Nicodemus.

Click and Read This also: https://takeitokayokay.blogspot.com/2023/03/joseph-of-arimathea-rich-honourable-man.html

(4) Jesus Christ is of an earthly royal descendant of King David alongside His Royalty as God, the Son and the King of Kings.

NOTE THAT: ON EARTH, AN ARMY IS MADE UP OF HUMAN SOLDIERS WHILE IN HEAVEN, AN ARMY IS MADE UP OF ANGELS.

(a) Jesus Christ as an earthly royal descendant of King David.

According to Matthew 1:1-17

(b) His Royal Highness Jesus Christ (God, the Son and, the King of Kings).

According to Matthew 26: 53

"DON'T YOU KNOW THAT I COULD CALL ON MY FATHER FOR HELP, AND AT ONCE HE WOULD SEND ME MORE THAN TWELVE ARMIES OF ANGELS?"

(5) Jesus Christ of Nazareth (Son of Joseph, the Carpenter) was very famous in Jerusalem and was once well loved by a lot of people in the same crowd of people that later asked for His crucifixion and consequently, asked for His death in this same world we live in.

Note that: Jesus Christ used nice and unused things too on earth. Two instance:

(a) Jesus Christ rode on an unused fresh colt into Jerusalem.

(b) Jesus Christ was buried in an unused tomb that was dug from solid Rock by the Respectable and Honourable man called Joseph of Arimathea.

According to Mark 11:1-11

'AS THEY APPROACHED JERUSALEM, NEAR THE TOWNS OF BETHPHAGE AND BETHANY, THEY CAME TO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES. JESUS SENT TWO OF HIS DISCIPLES ON AHEAD WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS: "GO TO THE VILLAGE THERE AHEAD OF YOU. AS SOON AS YOU GET THERE, YOU WILL FIND A COLT TIED UP THAT HAS NEVER BEEN RIDDEN. UNTIE IT AND BRING IT HERE. AND IF SOMEONE ASKS YOU WHY YOU ARE DOING THAT, TELL HIM THAT THE MASTER NEEDS IT AND WILL SEND IT BACK AT ONCE." SO THEY WENT AND FOUND A COLT OUT IN THE STREET, TIED TO THE DOOR OF A HOUSE. AS THEY WERE UNTYING IT, SOME OF THE BYSTANDERS ASKED THEM, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, UNTYING THAT COLT?" THEY ANSWERED JUST AS JESUS HAD TOLD THEM, AND THE BYSTANDERS LET THEM GO. THEY BROUGHT THE COLT TO JESUS, THREW THE CLOAKS OVER THE ANIMAL, AND JESUS GOT ON. MANY PEOPLE SPREAD THEIR CLOAKS ON THE ROAD, WHILE OTHERS CUT BRANCHES IN THE FIELDS AND SPREAD THEM ON THE ROAD. THE PEOPLE WHO WERE IN FRONT AND THOSE WHO FOLLOWED BEHIND BEGAN TO SHOUT, "PRAISE GOD! GOD BLESS HIM WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD! GOD BLESS THE COMING KINGDOM OF KING DAVID, OUR FATHER! PRAISE GOD!" JESUS ENTERED JERUSALEM, WENT INTO THE TEMPLE, AND LOOKED ROUND AT EVERYTHING. BUT SINCE IT WAS ALREADY LATE IN THE DAY, HE WENT OUT TO BETHANY WITH THE TWELVE DISCIPLES.'

(6) Jesus Christ of Nazareth (God, the Son) has both physical and spiritual connections for us to accomplish all we need. All you need do is believe as Jesus Christ asks you to, Just make sure to do your part. Follow God's instructions/commandments and we have already discussed the two main commandments and it is all about love for God and people.

According to Luke 22: 7-13

'THE DAY CAME DURING THE FESTIVAL OF UNLEAVENED BREAD WHEN THE LAMBS FOR THE PASSOVER MEAL WERE TO BE KILLED. JESUS SENT OFF PETER AND JOHN WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS: "GO AND GET THE PASSOVER MEAL READY FOR US TO EAT." "WHERE DO YOU WANT US TO GET IT READY?" THEY ASKED HIM. HE ANSWERED, "AS YOU GO INTO THE CITY, A MAN CARRYING A JAR OF WATER WILL MEET YOU. FOLLOW HIM INTO THE HOUSE THAT HE ENTERS, AND SAY TO THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE: "THE TEACHER SAYS TO YOU, WHERE IS THE ROOM WHERE MY DISCIPLES AND I WILL EAT THE PASSOVER MEAL?" HE WILL SHOW YOU A LARGE FURNISHED ROOM UPSTAIRS, WHERE YOU WILL GET EVERYTHING READY." THEY WENT OFF AND FOUND EVERYTHING JUST AS JESUS HAD TOLD THEM, AND THEY PREPARED THE PASSOVER MEAL.'

(7) Jesus Christ of Nazareth, was not considered a poor man in his days even if they knew he was the son of Joseph, the carpenter. When the woman poured the expensive Alabaster on Him, some of the people around said amongst themselves that it should have been sold Instead and given to the poor. They were so angry that they even scolded the woman harshly in front of Jesus Christ of Nazareth (God, the Son) for giving so extravagantly in form of an expensive Alabaster to Jesus Christ (who already had money) instead of giving to poor people. What height of hatred and envy? But Jesus did not lose his cool. He told them calmly to leave her alone for the significance of the expensive alabaster poured on Him by the woman was actually in preparation of His own burial.

Note that:

(a) The poor referred to here wasn't our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ. If Jesus Christ were to be poor man, the most likely statement to make at first as spectators who envied Jesus Christ was that the alabaster should have been sold and the money given to Jesus Christ instead since he was poor. But Jesus Christ wasn't poor at that point in time in His life, he even had a money bag and a money manager (Judas Iscariot). If Jesus Christ's money was not much, what do you think he needed a personal money manager who follows him around for? How much is a poor person counting that he will need a money manager? A poor person has almost nothing or absolutely nothing to count. Jesus Christ is a rich person both in the spirit and the physical...My Jesus Christ of Nazareth (God, the Son) is in Heaven sitted at the right hand of God the Father since He rose up from the dead and later, ascended into Heaven.

(b) Jesus Christ of Nazareth (God, the Son) is everywhere.

(c) Everything in this life happens for a reason as what is written is already written.

According to Mark 14: 3-9

'JESUS WAS IN BETHANY AT THE HOUSE OF SIMON, A MAN WHO SUFFERED FROM A DREADED SKIN DISEASE. WHILE JESUS WAS EATING, A WOMAN CAME IN WITH AN ALABASTER JAR FULL OF A VERY EXPENSIVE PERFUME MADE OF PURE NARD. SHE BROKE THE JAR AND POURED THE PERFUME ON JESUS' HEAD. SOME OF THE PEOPLE THERE BECAME ANGRY AND SAID TO ONE ANOTHER, "WHAT WAS THE USE OF WASTING THE PERFUME? IT COULD HAVE BEEN SOLD FOR MORE THAN THREE HUNDRED SILVER COINS AND THE MONEY GIVEN TO THE POOR!" AND THEY CRITICIZED HER HARSHLY. BUT JESUS SAID, "LEAVE HER ALONE! WHY ARE YOU BOTHERING HER? SHE HAS DONE A FINE AND BEAUTIFUL THING FOR ME. YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE POOR PEOPLE WITH YOU, AND ANY TIME YOU WANT TO, YOU CAN HELP THEM. BUT YOU WILL NOT ALWAYS HAVE ME. SHE DID WHAT SHE COULD; SHE POURED PERFUME ON MY BODY TO PREPARE IT AHEAD OF TIME FOR BURIAL. NOW, I ASSURE YOU THAT WHEREVER THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED ALL OVER THE WORLD, WHAT SHE HAS DONE WILL BE TOLD IN MEMORY OF HER."

What say you?

Female Beauty in combination with God Almighty: Read and what's your view

Female Beauty in combination with God Almighty: Read and what's your view

(1) It leads to the defeat of enemies in an exceptional way always. Beauty combined with prayers and following the commandments of God moved mountains for Judith and her people through her in the Holy Bible.

According to Judith 13: 15-16

'SHE THEN TOOK THE HEAD OUT OF THE FOOD BAG AND SHOWED IT TO THE PEOPLE, "HERE," SHE SAID, "IS THE HEAD OF HOLOFERNES, THE GENERAL OF THE ASSYRIAN ARMY, AND HERE IS THE MOSQUITO NET FROM HIS BED, WHERE HE LAY IN A DRUNKEN STUPOR. THE LORD HAS USED A WOMAN TO KILL HIM. AS THE LORD LIVES, I SWEAR THAT HOLOFERNES NEVER TOUCHED ME, ALTHOUGH MY BEAUTY DECEIVED HIM AND BROUGHT HIM TO HIS RUIN. I WAS NOT DEFILED OR DISGRACED; THE LORD TOOK CARE OF ME THROUGH IT ALL.'

(2) Beauty combined with God makes you shine out better amongst your peers, most especially, your female peers. You could get unexpected favor from unexpected persons or places. Even if you decide to serve God in secret, He will still elevate and uplift you at His own time as God's time is the best. Waiting on the Lord and not being in a hurry while trusting only your beauty is better.

Note that: The Holy Bible says King Xerxes still had other women asides from his Queen Vashti who was dismissed from being his Queen due to the fact that she misbehaved because of her immense outer beauty. God still touched the King's adviser to tell the King to choose from outside the palace at that time and Esther, a devoted woman of God, was located and brought to the palace. Firstly, she found favor in the man called Hegai that was in charge of the King's women. Secondly, Hegai treated her and her seven palace assigned servants very well. Lastly, she found favor in King Xerxes even if she was not the first to go to him, she waited for her time and her high performance made the King fall in love with her and he instantly put the Queen's crown on her head which meant that he didn't need or want to check out any other woman or send for Esther later according to the normal prescribed/planned/organized procedures. God's favor on Esther made the King Xerxes break normal protocol just to make her his Queen. Isn't that wonderful?

According to Esther 2: 1-20

'LATER THE KING'S ANGER COOLED DOWN. ALTHOUGH HE NO LONGER MENTIONED VASHTI, HE KEPT THINKING ABOUT HOW HE HAD CONDEMNED HER. SO SOME OF THE KING'S ADVISERS SUGGESTED, "WHY DON'T YOU MAKE A SEARCH TO FIND SOME BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMEN OF GOOD CHARACTER? YOU CAN APPOINT OFFICIALS IN EVERY PROVINCE OF THE EMPIRE AND HAVE THEM BRING ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL YOUNG VIRGINS TO YOUR HAREM HERE IN SUSA. PUT THEM IN THE CARE OF HEGAI, THE EUNUCH WHO IS IN CHARGE OF YOUR WOMEN, AND LET THEM BE GIVEN COSMETICS AND WHATEVER ELSE THEY MAY NEED. THEN TAKE THE YOUNG WOMAN YOU LIKE BEST AND MAKE HER QUEEN IN VASHTI'S PLACE." THE KING THOUGHT THIS WAS GOOD ADVICE, SO HE FOLLOWED IT. THERE IN SUSA LIVED A JEW NAMED MORDECAI SON OF JAIR; HE WAS FROM THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN AND WAS A DESCENDANT OF KISH AND SHIMEI. HE WAS AMONG THE CAPTIVES WHOM KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR OF BABYLONIA HAD TAKEN INTO EXILE FROM JERUSALEM. MORDECAI WAS THE GUARDIAN OF ESTHER, THE DAUGHTER OF HIS UNCLE AMINADAB. SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN, AND AFTER THE DEATH OF HER PARENTS, MORDECAI BROUGHT HER UP UNTIL SHE WAS GROWN. WHEN THE KING HAD ISSUED HIS NEW PROCLAMATION, MANY YOUNG WOMEN WERE BEING BROUGHT TO SUSA, AND ESTHER WAS AMONG THEM. SHE TOO WAS PUT IN THE ROYAL PALACE IN THE CARE OF HEGAI, WHO HAD CHARGE OF THE HAREM. HEGAI LIKED ESTHER, AND SHE WON HIS FAVOUR. HE LOST NO TIME IN BEGINNING HER BEAUTY TREATMENT OF MASSAGE AND SPECIAL DIET. HE ASSIGNED SEVEN YOUNG WOMEN SPECIALLY CHOSEN FROM THE ROYAL PALACE TO SERVE HER, AND HE TREATED HER AND HER SERVANTS WELL. NOW, ON THE ADVICE OF MORDECAI, ESTHER HAD KEPT SECRET THE FACT THAT SHE WAS JEWISH. EVERY DAY MORDECAI WOULD WALK TO AND FRO IN FRONT OF THE COURTYARD OF THE HAREM, WATCHING TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN TO HER. THE REGULAR BEAUTY TREATMENT FOR THE YOUNG WOMEN LASTED A YEAR: MASSAGES WITH OIL OF MYRRH FOR SIX MONTHS AND WITH BEAUTY CREAMS AND COSMETICS FOR SIX MORE. AFTER THAT, EACH GIRL WAS HANDED OVER TO THE PERSON APPOINTED TO CONDUCT HER FROM THE HAREM TO THE PALACE, AND SHE WAS TAKEN TO THE KING. SHE WOULD GO THERE IN THE EVENING, AND THE NEXT MORNING SHE WOULD BE TAKEN TO ANOTHER HAREM AND PUT IN THE CARE OF HEGAI, THE EUNUCH IN CHARGE. SHE WOULD NOT GO TO THE KING AGAIN UNLESS HE ASKED FOR HER BY NAME. THE TIME CAME FOR ESTHER, THE DAUGHTER OF AMINADAB THE UNCLE OF MORDECAI, TO GO TO THE KING. SHE HAD DONE EVERYTHING THAT HEGAI HAD ADVISED, AND SHE WAS ADMIRED BY EVERYONE WHO SAW HER. SO IN XERXES' SEVENTH YEAR AS KING, IN THE TWELFTH MONTH, THE MONTH OF ADAR, SHE WAS BROUGHT TO THE KING. HE FELL IN LOVE WITH ESTHER, WHO PLEASED HIM MORE THAN ANY OF THE OTHERS, AND HE PLACED THE QUEEN'S CROWN ON HER HEAD. THEN THE KING GAVE A WEEK-LONG BANQUET FOR ALL HIS ADVISERS AND ADMINISTRATORS TO CELEBRATE HIS MARRIAGE TO ESTHER. HE ALSO GRANTED A REDUCTION OF TAXES FOR THE WHOLE EMPIRE. MEANWHILE MORDECAI HAD BEEN APPOINTED TO A HIGH ADMINISTRATIVE POSITION. AS FOR ESTHER, SHE HAD STILL NOT LET IT BE KNOWN THAT SHE WAS JEWISH. MORDECAI HAD TOLD HER NOT TO TELL ANYONE, AND SHE OBEYED HIM IN THIS, JUST AS SHE HAD OBEYED HIM WHEN SHE WAS A LITTLE GIRL UNDER HIS CARE. SHE CONTINUED TO WORSHIP GOD AND CARRY OUT GOD'S COMMANDS, WITHOUT ABANDONING HER JEWISH WAYS.'

(3) When you are still strong enough to misbehave, that is the best time to choose and remember God, our Creator as your real and ultimate owner.

According to Ecclesiastes 12: 1-8

'SO REMEMBER YOUR CREATOR WHILE YOU ARE STILL YOUNG, BEFORE THOSE DISMAL DAYS AND YEARS COME WHEN YOU WILL SAY, "I DON'T ENJOY LIFE." THAT IS WHEN THE LIGHT OF THE SUN, THE MOON, AND THE STARS WILL GROW DIM FOR YOU, AND THE RAIN CLOUDS WILL NEVER PASS AWAY. THEN YOUR ARMS, THAT HAVE PROTECTED YOU, WILL TREMBLE, AND YOUR LEGS, NOW STRONG, WILL GROW WEAK. YOUR TEETH WILL BE TOO FEW TO CHEW YOUR FOOD , AND YOUR EYES TOO DIM TO SEE CLEARLY. YOUR EARS WILL BE TOO DEAF TO THE NOISE OF THE STREET. YOU WILL BARELY BE ABLE TO HEAR THE MILL AS IT GRINDS OR MUSIC AS IT PLAYS, BUT EVEN THE SONG OF A BIRD WILL WAKE YOU FROM SLEEP. YOU WILL BE AFRAID OF HIGH PLACES, AND WALKING WILL BE DANGEROUS. YOUR HAIR WILL TURN WHITE; YOU WILL HARDLY BE ABLE TO DRAG YOURSELF ALONG, AND ALL DESIRE WILL HAVE GONE. WE ARE GOING TO OUR FINAL RESTING PLACE, AND THEN THERE WILL BE MOURNING IN THE STREETS. THE SILVER CHAIN WILL SNAP, AND THE GOLDEN LAMP WILL FALL AND BREAK; THE ROPE AT THE WELL WILL BREAK, AND THE WATER JAR WILL BE SHATTERED. OUR BODIES WILL RETURN TO THE DUST OF THE EARTH, AND THE BREATH OF LIFE WILL GO BACK TO GOD, WHO GAVE IT TO US. USELESS, USELESS, SAID THE PHILOSOPHER. IT IS ALL USELESS.'

(4) When you are a beautiful lady/woman and God is in you, your male spouse or husband will see an undeniable love in you whether he appreciates and/or acknowledge it or not because God is Love.

According to Song of songs 1: 15

'HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE , MY LOVE, HOW YOUR EYES SHINE WITH LOVE!'

(5) A woman's beauty is cool, nice and wonderful for the eyes to behold but the inner beauty which God's attributes/the fruits of the Holy Spirit blesses her with, makes her outer beauty exceptional amongst other women. It is the Almighty God that lives in you as a beautiful woman that can give you the Grace to talk to your good husband kindly and gently, and, most especially, to support and encourage him too. Women are in a very competitive zone with their fellow women for a man because men have to carefully choose their bride/wife as the Holy Bible says.

According to Sirach 36: 21-24

'A WOMAN HAS TO TAKE ANY MAN AS A HUSBAND, BUT A MAN MUST CHOOSE HIS WIFE CAREFULLY. A WOMAN'S BEAUTY MAKES A MAN HAPPY; THERE IS NO FAIRER SIGHT FOR THE HUMAN EYE TO SEE. IF THE WOMAN IS KIND AND GENTLE IN HER SPEECH, HER HUSBAND IS THE MOST FORTUNATE OF MEN. WHEN A MAN MARRIES , HE GETS THE FINEST THING HE WILL EVER HAVE - A WIFE TO HELP AND ENCOURAGE HIM.'

(6) Outer Beauty attracts both good and unworthy men whether rich or poor at the same time but beautiful ladies/women still need to pray and acknowledge God for Him to save them even when all hope seems to be lost in a wicked frame up and any other ugly situation in this life. As a woman, in all you do, choose God and His good ways without a second thought. Always fear God, not man. He will always send you helpers if and when you need them as a true child of God Almighty.

(a) The Two Judges who framed and wrongly convicted innocent Susanna were very horrible and useless men.

Note that:

(I) As a woman, you don't need to die or lose God because of lying, useless, inconsiderate, worthless, marriage wrecking and wicked men like these two guilty Judges as described in the Book of Susanna. Prayers (whether sorrowful or not) to God Almighty is the key to the solution for reducing such evil men to absolute zero/nothing.

(II) The older men who should lead by example for the younger men to learn from are actually the worst of all sexual perverts. Instead, the good younger men are now the ones trying to teach the older ones how to behave well with women. What a stupid way to live a life!!! Great caution is highly recommended for all beautiful women, both old and young.

According to Susanna 1: 1-26

'IN BABYLON THERE LIVED A MAN NAMED JOAKIM, WHO WAS MARRIED TO SUSANNA, DAUGHTER OF HILKIAH. SUSANNA WAS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN AND DEEPLY RELIGIOUS. HER PARENTS WERE DEVOUT JEWS WHO HAD BROUGHT UP THEIR DAUGHTER TO LIVE ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF MOSES. HER HUSBAND JOAKIM WAS VERY WEALTHY. LOVELY GARDENS SURROUNDED HIS HOUSE, AND THE OTHER JEWS OFTEN GATHERED THERE FOR MEETINGS, BECAUSE THEY ALL THOUGHT SO HIGHLY OF HIM. EVERYONE WHO HAD A LEGAL CASE TO PRESENT WOULD ALSO GO TO JOAKIM'S HOUSE, WHERE TWO JUDGES HELD COURT. THESE TWO LEADERS OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY HAD RECENTLY BEEN APPOINTED TO OFFICE. THEY WERE THE ONES ABOUT WHOM THE LORD SAID, "THERE IS WICKEDNESS IN BABYLON; JUDGES ARE FAILING TO GIVE GUIDANCE TO THE PEOPLE." EVERY DAY AT NOON, WHEN ALL THE PEOPLE LEFT FOR LUNCH, SUSANNA USED TO TAKE A WALK IN THE GARDENS. THE TWO JUDGES WERE SO ATTRACTED TO HER THAT THEY WOULD WAIT ABOUT AND WATCH FOR HER. THEY BECAME SO OBSESSED WITH THEIR DESIRE FOR HER THAT THEY LOST INTEREST BOTH IN PRAYER AND IN THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES AS JUDGES. THEY EACH WANTED SUSANNA, BUT NEITHER TOLD THE OTHER HOW HE FELT, FOR EACH WAS ASHAMED TO ADMIT HIS LUST. SO DAY AFTER DAY THEY WATCHED EAGERLY TO CATCH SIGHT OF HER. ONE DAY AT NOON THEY SAID TO EACH OTHER, "IT'S TIME FOR LUNCH; LET'S GO HOME." SO THEY BOTH LEFT AND WENT THEIR SEPARATE WAYS, BUT SOON EACH ONE CAME BACK FOR A LOOK AT SUSANNA, AND BY ACCIDENT THEY MET EACH OTHER. AT FIRST EACH TRIED TO EXPLAIN WHAT HE WAS DOING THERE, BUT FINALLY THEY BOTH CONFESSED THEIR DESIRE FOR SUSANNA. THEY DECIDED TO WATCH FOR A TIME WHEN THEY MIGHT FIND HER ALONE. SO THEY KEPT WAITING FOR THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITY. ONE DAY SUSANNA WENT INTO THE GARDEN AS USUAL WITH HER TWO SERVANT GIRLS. NO ONE ELSE WAS THERE, EXCEPT THE TWO JUDGES, WHO HAD HIDDEN AND WERE WATCHING SUSANNA. IT WAS VERY HOT AND SHE DECIDED TO TAKE A BATH. SO SHE SAID TO HER SERVANTS, "BRING ME SOME BATH OIL AND SOME PERFUME, AND LOCK THE GATES , SO THAT I WON'T BE DISTURBED. THE SERVANTS LOCKED THE MAIN GATES AND WENT OUT BY THE SIDE DOOR TO GET WHAT SUSANNA HAD ASKED FOR. THEY DID NOT NOTICE THE TWO MEN. AS SOON AS THE SERVANTS HAD LEFT, THE TWO JUDGES JUMPED OUT FROM THEIR HIDING PLACE, RAN TO SUSANNA, AND SAID TO HER, "THE GATES ARE LOCKED AND NO ONE WILL SEE US. WE ARE BURNING TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU, SO GIVE US WHAT WE WANT. IF YOU DON'T, WE WILL GO TO COURT AND SWEAR THAT WE SAW YOU SEND YOUR SERVANTS AWAY, SO THAT YOU COULD BE ALONE WITH A YOUNG MAN." "THERE IS NO WAY OUT," SUSANNA MOANED, "IF I GIVE IN TO YOU, I COULD BE PUT TO DEATH FOR ADULTERY. IF I REFUSE, YOU WILL STILL HAVE ME TRAPPED. BUT I WOULD RATHER BE YOUR INNOCENT VICTIM THAN SIN AGAINST THE LORD." SO SHE STARTED SCREAMING AS LOUD AS SHE COULD, AND THE TWO JUDGES BEGAN SHOUTING ACCUSATIONS, WHILE ONE OF THEM RAN AND UNLOCKED THE GATES. AS SOON AS THE SERVANTS IN THE HOUSE HEARD ALL THE NOISE, THEY RAN INTO THE GARDENS THROUGH THE SIDE DOOR TO FIND OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO SUSANNA. THE JUDGES TOLD THEIR STORY, AND THE SERVANTS WERE SHOCKED AND ASHAMED. SUCH A THING HAD NEVER BEEN SAID ABOUT SUSANNA.'

(b) Daniel who helped save Susanna was a good man. One of the reasons why Daniel got them easily by the power and grace of God was that even if they later wanted to say or appeal that studying and knowing tree was not their specialty, so, they could not recognize the type of tree, they could never go scot-free because one of these two wicked guilty judges said that the supposed tree under which they claimed that they saw Susanna having sex with a young man who was not her husband was a small tree while the other judge said the tree was a large tree. Daniel was truly a wise young man to come up with such a skillful and intelligent question by God's Heavenly Grace.

According to Susanna 1: 42-64

'THEN SUSANNA CRIED OUT IN A LOUD VOICE, "ETERNAL GOD, NOTHING CAN BE KEPT SECRET FROM YOU; YOU KNOW EVERYTHING BEFORE IT HAPPENS. HERE I AM ABOUT TO DIE, BUT YOU KNOW THAT I AM INNOCENT, THAT THESE MEN ARE LYING. WHY MUST I DIE?" THE LORD HEARD HER PRAYER AND LED A YOUNG MAN NAMED DANIEL TO SPEAK OUT, JUST AS SUSANNA WAS BEING TAKEN AWAY TO HER DEATH. HE SHOUTED, "I REFUSE TO BE A PARTY TO HER DEATH!" EVERYONE TURNED ROUND TO LOOK AT HIM AND ASKED, "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" DANIEL STOOD UP BEFORE THEM AND SAID, "PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, HOW FOOLISH CAN YOU BE? ARE YOU GOING TO CONDEMN AN ISRAELITE WOMAN TO DEATH ON THIS KIND OF EVIDENCE? YOU HAVEN'T EVEN TRIED TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH. REOPEN THE CASE. THE TESTIMONY THESE MEN GAVE WAS A LIE." SO ALL THE PEOPLE HURRIED BACK TO WHERE THE TRIAL HAD TAKEN PLACE, AND THE OFFICIALS SAID TO DANIEL, "GOD HAS GIVEN YOU WISDOM BEYOND YOUR YEARS, SO COME AND JOIN US AND EXPLAIN TO US WHAT YOU MEAN." DANIEL SAID TO THEM, "SEPARATE THE TWO JUDGES, AND LET ME QUESTION THEM ONE AT A TIME." THEN DANIEL CALLED THE FIRST JUDGE AND SAID, "YOU WICKED OLD MAN, NOW YOU WILL HAVE TO ANSWER FOR ALL THE SINS YOU HAVE COMMITTED. YOU HAVE BEEN GIVING UNJUST SENTENCES. YOU HAVE CONDEMNED THE INNOCENT AND RELEASED THE GUILTY, EVEN THOUGH THE LORD HAS SAID, 'DO NOT PUT AN INNOCENT PERSON TO DEATH.' NOW IF YOU REALLY DID SEE THIS COUPLE MAKING LOVE, TELL ME, WHAT TREE WERE THEY UNDER?" "UNDER A SMALL GUM TREE," HE ANSWERED. DANIEL SAID, "RIGHT! THAT LIE WILL COST YOU YOUR LIFE. GOD'S ANGEL HAS ALREADY BEEN GIVEN ORDERS TO CHOP YOU IN TWO." THEN THE FIRST JUDGE WAS LED AWAY AND THE SECOND ONE WAS BROUGHT BEFORE DANIEL. "YOU ARE MORE LIKE A CANAANITE THAN A JEW," DANIEL SAID TO HIM. THIS WOMAN'S BEAUTY HAS WARPED YOUR JUDGEMENT AND LUST HAS CORRUPTED YOUR THINKING. YOU ARE USED TO HAVING YOUR WAY WITH WOMEN OF ISRAEL BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN AFRAID OF YOU, BUT HERE IS A JEWISH WOMAN, AND SHE WOULD NOT GIVE IN. NOW, TELL ME WHAT TREE YOU SAW THEM UNDER." "UNDER A LARGE OAK TREE, " HE ANSWERED. DANIEL SAID, "RIGHT! THAT LIE WILL COST YOU YOUR LIFE; GOD'S ANGEL IS WAITING WITH HIS SWORD IN HIS HAND, READY TO CUT YOU IN TWO. THEN WE SHALL BE RID OF YOU BOTH." THEN ALL THE PEOPLE SHOUTED AND PRAISED GOD, WHO SAVES THOSE WHO PUT THEIR TRUST IN HIM. THEY TURNED AGAINST THE TWO JUDGES BECAUSE DANIEL HAD PROVED THAT THEY HAD LIED UNDER OATH. THE LAW OF MOSES STATES THAT PEOPLE WHO GIVE FALSE TESTIMONY SHALL RECEIVE THE SAME PUNISHMENT THAT THE ACCUSED PERSON WOULD HAVE RECEIVED. AND SO THE TWO JUDGES WERE PUT TO DEATH, AND THE LIFE OF AN INNOCENT WOMAN WAS SAVED. SUSANNA'S PARENTS, HER HUSBAND, AND ALL HER RELATIVES PRAISED GOD BECAUSE SHE HAD BEEN PROVED INNOCENT OF THE CHARGES. FROM THAT DAY ON, DANIEL WAS HELD IN HIGH REGARD.'

Joseph of ARIMATHEA (The Rich Honourable man that took and buried Jesus Christ's dead body): Read and what's your view

Joseph of ARIMATHEA (The Rich Honourable man that took and buried Jesus Christ's dead body): Read and what's your view

(1) Joseph of Arimathea was not one of the known twelve disciples (known twelve apostles) of Jesus Christ. But the Holy Bible acknowledged him as a disciple of Jesus Christ. He was possibly a hidden disciple based on this Bible passages below.

According to Matthew 27: 57-61

'WHEN IT WAS EVENING, A RICH MAN FROM ARIMATHEA ARRIVED; HIS NAME WAS JOSEPH, AND HE ALSO WAS A DISCIPLE OF JESUS. HE WENT INTO THE PRESENCE OF PILATE AND ASKED FOR THE BODY OF JESUS. PILATE GAVE ORDERS FOR THE BODY TO BE GIVEN TO JOSEPH. SO JOSEPH TOOK IT, WRAPPED IT IN A NEW LINEN SHEET, AND PLACED IT IN HIS OWN TOMB, WHICH HE HAD JUST RECENTLY DUG OUT OF SOLID ROCK. THEN HE ROLLED A LARGE STONE ACROSS THE ENTRANCE TO THE TOMB AND WENT AWAY. MARY MAGDALENE AND THE OTHER MARY WERE SITTING THERE, FACING THE TOMB.'

(2) Joseph of Arimathea was a respected member of the council (the same council that was part of those that lied against and crucified Jesus Christ) which was the more reason his discipleship must have been hidden.

Note that: The Holy Bible states that Joseph of Arimathea never supported the evil men in council against JESUS CHRIST.

According to Mark 15: 42-47

'IT WAS TOWARDS EVENING WHEN JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA ARRIVED. HE WAS A RESPECTED MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL, WHO WAS WAITING FOR THE COMING OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD. IT WAS PREPARATION DAY(THAT IS, THE DAY BEFORE THE SABBATH), SO JOSEPH WENT BOLDLY INTO THE PRESENCE OF PILATE AND ASKED HIM FOR THE BODY OF JESUS. PILATE WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT JESUS WAS ALREADY DEAD. HE CALLED THE ARMY OFFICER AND ASKED HIM IF JESUS HAD BEEN DEAD A LONG TIME. AFTER HEARING THE OFFICER'S REPORT, PILATE TOLD JOSEPH HE COULD HAVE THE BODY. JOSEPH BOUGHT A LINEN SHEET, TOOK THE BODY DOWN, WRAPPED IT IN THE SHEET, AND PLACED IT IN A TOMB WHICH HAD BEEN DUG OUT OF SOLID ROCK. THEN HE ROLLED A LARGE STONE ACROSS THE ENTRANCE TO THE TOMB. MARY MAGDALENE AND MARY THE MOTHER OF JOSEPH WERE WATCHING AND SAW WHERE THE BODY OF JESUS WAS PLACED.'

(3) The Holy Bible insists that Joseph of Arimathea's main goal in life was to keep waiting for the Kingdom of God (Heaven) irrespective of all his great riches. This means that all Joseph of Arimathea ever did in his life on earth at that time, he did to make Heaven.

According to Matthew 27: 57

'WHEN IT WAS EVENING, A RICH MAN FROM ARIMATHEA ARRIVED; HIS NAME WAS JOSEPH, AND HE ALSO WAS A DISCIPLE OF JESUS.'

According to Mark 15: 42

'IT WAS TOWARDS EVENING WHEN JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA ARRIVED. HE WAS A RESPECTED MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL, WHO WAS WAITING FOR THE COMING OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD.'

According to Luke: 23: 50

'THERE WAS A MAN NAMED JOSEPH FROM ARIMATHEA, A TOWN IN JUDEA. HE WAS A GOOD AND HONOURABLE MAN, WHO WAS WAITING FOR THE COMING OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD.'

According to John 19:38

(4) The Holy Book of John confirmed that Joseph of Arimathea was a secret member of the household of God won through our Lord Jesus Christ. Not everyone knew about this and, possibly, not all of the twelve (12) apostles knew of his discipleship. The Holy Bible still confirmed him a disciple of Christ Jesus but a secret/hidden one. "JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA" seems not to be the only secret rich disciple of Jesus Christ, there was another man called "NICODEMUS." NICODEMUS went there twice to see and possibly inspect Jesus Christ's dead body.

The two consecutive times Nicodemus went to see Jesus dead body that was in Pontius Pilate's custody👇🏼:

(a) Only him (Nicodemus) earlier that same night.

(b) Later that same night he (Nicodemus) went with Joseph of Arimathea

JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA AND NICODEMUS EACH CONTRIBUTED EXPENSIVE ITEMS FOR THE BURIAL OF JESUS CHRIST'S DEAD BODY:

(i) Joseph of Arimathea donated the New unused tomb he dug out of a solid Rock and a new linen

(ii) Nicodemus donated 30 KILOGRAMMES of spices, a mixture of myrrh and aloes.

Note that upon Jesus Christ birth, he got a gift of myrrh from one of the three wise men and upon his death he got the gift of myrrh from one of the three rich men. Myrrh! Myrrh!!

According to John 19: 38-43

'AFTER THIS, JOSEPH WHO WAS FROM THE TOWN OF ARIMATHEA, ASKED PILATE IF HE COULD TAKE JESUS' BODY. (JOSEPH WAS A FOLLOWER OF JESUS, BUT IN SECRET, BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID OF THE JEWISH AUTHORITIES.) PILATE TOLD HIM HE COULD HAVE THE BODY, SO JOSEPH WENT AND TOOK IT AWAY. NICODEMUS, WHO AT FIRST HAD GONE TO SEE JESUS AT NIGHT, WENT WITH JOSEPH, TAKING WITH HIM ABOUT 30 KILOGRAMMES OF SPICES, A MIXTURE OF MYRRH AND ALOES. THE TWO MEN TOOK JESUS' BODY AND WRAPPED IT IN LINEN WITH THE SPICES ACCORDING TO THE JEWISH CUSTOM OF PREPARING A BODY FOR BURIAL. THERE WAS A GARDEN IN THE PLACE WHERE JESUS HAD BEEN PUT TO DEATH, AND IN IT THERE WAS A NEW TOMB WHERE NO ONE HAD EVER BEEN BURIED. SINCE IT WAS THE DAY BEFORE THE SABBATH AND BECAUSE THE TOMB WAS CLOSE BY, THEY PLACED JESUS' BODY THERE.'

(5) This is a confirmation that with Jesus Christ (God, the Son), your good secret is safe. Even if it seems displeasing to your high class, peers, work colleagues or staff members, present fellow religion people etc, God loves and accepts you. That's all that matters.

According to John 19:38

(6) Pontius Pilate would have not handed over Jesus Christ's dead body to Joseph of Arimathea if he knew that he was a hidden disciple of Jesus Christ because their main evil plan after Jesus Christ died on the Holy Cross of Calvary was to make sure that no disciple of Jesus Christ came near his body or his tomb/grave. This was because they wickedly claimed that the disciples of Jesus Christ planned to steal His body on the third day and then now confuse the public by lying that Jesus Christ rose from the dead on the third day. Anyway, the Good news still remains the truth that Jesus Christ still rose from the dead on the third day after His death on the Holy Cross of Calvary.

NOTE THAT THESE PHARISEES DARED TO CALL OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST A LIAR BECAUSE HE TALKED ABOUT HIS RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD WHEN HE WAS STILL LIVING AMONGST US AS A MAN (A FULL FLESHED HUMAN BEING LIKE EVERYONE ELSE BACK THEN).

According to Matthew 27: 62-66

'THE NEXT DAY, WHICH WAS A SABBATH, THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND THE PHARISEES MET WITH PILATE AND SAID, "SIR, WE REMEMBER THAT WHILE THAT LIAR WAS STILL ALIVE HE SAID, "I WILL BE RAISED TO LIFE THREE DAYS LATER.' GIVE ORDERS, THEN, FOR HIS TOMB TO BE CAREFULLY GUARDED UNTIL THE THIRD DAY, SO THAT HIS DISCIPLES WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GO AND STEAL THE BODY, AND THEN TELL THE PEOPLE THAT HE WAS RAISED FROM DEATH. THIS LAST LIE WOULD BE EVEN WORSE THAN THE FIRST ONE." "TAKE A GUARD," PILATE TOLD THEM; " GO AND MAKE THE TOMB AS SECURE AS YOU CAN." SO THEY LEFT AND MADE THE TOMB SECURE BY PUTTING A SEAL ON THE STONE AND LEAVING THE GUARD ON WATCH.'

Daniel, the Dreamer and Interpreter: Read and what's your view

Daniel, the Dreamer and Interpreter: Read and what's your view

(1) Daniel was a handsome and very intelligent royal/noble blood of Jerusalem before he was captured by King Nebuchadnezzar. He was taught the Babylonian language alongside Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah.

According to Daniel 1: 1-4

'IN THE THIRD YEAR THAT JEHOIAKIM WAS KING OF JUDAH, KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR OF BABYLONIA ATTACKED JERUSALEM AND SURROUNDED THE CITY. THE LORD LET HIM CAPTURE KING JEHOIAKIM AND SEIZE SOME PRISONERS BACK WITH HIM TO THE TEMPLE OF HIS GODS IN BABYLON, AND PUT THE CAPTURED TREASURES IN THE TEMPLE STOREROOMS. THE KING ORDERED ASHPENAZ, HIS CHIEF OFFICIAL, TO SELECT FROM AMONG THE ISRAELITE EXILES SOME YOUNG MEN OF THE ROYAL FAMILY AND OF THE NOBLE FAMILIES. THEY HAD TO BE HANDSOME, INTELLIGENT, WELL-TRAINED, QUICK TO LEARN, AND FREE FROM PHYSICAL DEFECTS, SO THAT THEY WOULDBE QUALIFIED TO SERVE IN THE ROYAL COURT, ASHPENAZ WAS TO TEACH THEM TO READ AND WRITE THE BABYLONIAN LANGUAGE.'

(2) Daniel and his friends/companions were all from "THE TRIBE OF JUDAH." They were renamed to have Babylonian names as shown below 👇:

(a) Daniel was renamed Belteshazzar (a babylonian name)

(b) Hananiah was renamed to Shedrach (a babylonian name)

(c) Mishael was renamed Meshach (a babylonian name)

(d) Azariah was renamed Abednego (a babylonian name)

According to Daniel 1:5-7

'THE KING ALSO GAVE ORDERS THAT EVERY DAY THEY WERE TO BE GIVEN THE SAME FOOD AND WINE AS THE MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL COURT. AFTER THREE YEARS OF TRAINING THEY WERE TO APPEAR BEFORE THE KING. AMONG THOSE CHOSEN WERE DANIEL, HANANIAH, MISHAEL, AND AZARIAH, ALL OF WHOM WERE FROM THE TRIBE OF JUDAH. THE CHIEF OFFICIAL GAVE THEM NEW NAMES: BELTESHAZZAR, SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO.'

(3) At that time, the four of them (Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah) followed the Laws of God totally, especially, the Laws of God concerning Babylonian and Jewish food. God blessed them for doing this, most especially, Daniel.

(a) Hananiah (Shadrach), Mishael (Meshach) and, Azariah (Abednego) all had knowledge and skills in Literature and philosophy only

(b) Daniel (Belteshazzar) had four skills. He had knowledge and skills in:

(I) Literature

(II) Philosophy

(III) Interpreting dreams and visions.

According to Daniel 1: 8-17

'DANIEL MADE UP HIS MIND NOT TO LET HIMSELF BECOME RITUALLY UNCLEAN BY EATING THE FOOD AND DRINKING THE WINE OF THE ROYAL COURT, SO HE ASKED ASHPENAZ TO HELP HIM, AND GOD MADE ASHPENAZ SYMPATHETIC TO DANIEL. ASHPENAZ, HOWEVER, WAS AFRAID OF THE KING, SO HE SAID TO DANIEL, "THE KING HAS DECIDED WHAT YOU ARE TO EAT AND DRINK, AND IF YOU DON'T LOOK AS FIT AS THE OTHER YOUNG MEN, HE MAY KILL ME." SO DANIEL WENT TO THE GUARD WHOM ASHPENAZ HAD PLACED IN CHARGE OF HIM AND HIS THREE FRIENDS. "TEST US FOR TEN DAY," HE SAID. "GIVE US VEGETABLES TO EAT AND WATER TO DRINK. THEN COMPARE US WITH THE YOUNG MEN WHO ARE EATING THE FOOD OF THE ROYAL COURT, AND BASE YOUR DECISION ON HOW WE LOOK." HE AGREED TO LET THEM TRY IT FOR TEN DAYS. WHEN THE TIME WAS UP, THEY LOOKED HEALTHIER AND STRONGER THAN ALL THOSE WHO HAD BEEN EATING THE ROYAL FOOD. SO FROM THEN ON THE GUARD LET THEM CONTINUE TO EAT VEGETABLES INSTEAD OF WHAT THE KING PROVIDED. GOD GAVE THE FOUR YOUNG MEN KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL IN LITERATURE AND PHILOSOPHY. IN ADDITION, HE GAVE DANIEL SKILL IN INTERPRETING VISIONS AND DREAMS.'

(4) They became members of the royal cabinet/court (the king's court) because of their very high performances. Daniel, mainly, served two Babylonian kings called 👇:

(a) King Nebuchadnezzar who conquered Jerusalem under the rule of king Jehoiakim and captured him alongside his three friends/companions.

(b) King Cyrus who conquered Babylonia under King Nebuchadnezzar's rule.

According to Daniel 1: 18-21

'AT THE END OF THE THREE YEARS SET BY THE KING, ASHPENAZ TOOK ALL THE YOUNG MEN TO NEBUCHADNEZZAR. THE KING TALKED WITH THEM ALL, AND DANIEL, HANANIAH, MISHAEL AND AZARIAH IMPRESSED HIM MORE THAN ANY OF THE OTHERS. SO THEY BECAME MEMBERS OF THE KING'S COURT. NO MATTER WHAT QUESTION THE KING ASKED, OR WHAT PROBLEM HE RAISED , THESE FOUR KNEW TEN TIMES MORE THAN ANY FORTUNE TELLER OR MAGICIAN IN HIS WHOLE KINGDOM. DANIEL REMAINED AT THE ROYAL COURT UNTIL CYRUS THE EMPEROR OF PERSIA CONQUERED BABYLONIA.'

(5) King Nebuchadnezzar dreamt and was very concerned and worried about this dream that he couldn't sleep and was ready to kill all his special advisers including Daniel and his three Godly friends unless the tell him his exact dream and interprete it correctly too.

According to Daniel 2:1-9

IN THE SECOND YEAR THAT NEBUCHADNEZZAR WAS KING, HE HAD A DREAM. IT WORRIED HIM SO MUCH THAT HE COULDN'T SLEEP, SO HE SENT FOR HIS FORTUNE TELLERS, HIS MAGICIANS, SORCERERS, AND WIZARDS TO COME AND EXPLAIN THE DREAM TO HIM. WHEN THEY CAME AND STOOD BEFORE THE KING, HE SAID TO THEM, "I'M WORRIED ABOUT A DREAM I HAVE HAD. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT MEANS." THEY ANSWERED THE KING IN ARAMAIC, "MAY YOUR MAJESTY LIVE FOR EVER! TELL US YOUR DREAM, AND WE WILL EXPLAIN IT TO YOU." THE KING SAID TO THEM, "I HAVE MADE UP MY MIND THAT YOU MUST TELL ME THE DREAM AND THEN TELL ME WHAT IT MEANS." THEY ANSWERED THE KING AGAIN, "IF YOUR MAJESTY WILL ONLY TELL US WHAT THE DREAM WAS, WE WILL EXPLAIN IT." AT THAT, THE KING EXCLAIMED, "JUST AS I THOUGHT! YOU ARE TRYING TO GAIN TIME, BECAUSE YOU SEE THAT I HAVE MADE UP MY MIND TO GIVE ALL OF YOU THE SAME PUNISHMENT IF YOU DON'T TELL ME THE DREAM. YOU HAVE AGREED AMONG YOURSELVES TO GO ON TELLING ME LIES BECAUSE YOU HOPE THAT IN TIME THINGS WILL CHANGE. TELL ME WHAT THE DREAM WAS, AND THEN I WILL KNOW THAT YOU CAN ALSO TELL ME WHAT IT MEANS."

(6) God of Heaven (that is, Almighty God) showed King Nebuchadnezzar's dream to Daniel at night after praying with his three friends (Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah) that day to Him.

According to Daniel 2:14-23

'THEN DANIEL WENT TO ARIOCH, COMMANDER OF THE KING'S BODYGUARD, WHO HAD BEEN ORDERED TO CARRY OUT THE EXECUTION. CHOOSING HIS WORDS CAREFULLY, HE ASKED ARIOCH WHY THE KING HAD ISSUED SUCH A HARSH ORDER. SO ARIOCH TOLD DANIEL WHAT HAD HAPPENED. DANIEL WENT AT ONCE AND OBTAINED ROYAL PERMISSION FOR MORE TIME, SO THAT HE COULD TELL THE KING WHAT THE DREAM MEANT. THEN DANIEL WENT HOME AND TOLD HIS FRIENDS HANANIAH, MISHAEL, AND AZARIAH WHAT HAD HAPPENED. HE TOLD THEM TO PRAY TO THE GOD OF HEAVEN FOR MERCY AND TO ASK HIM TO EXPLAIN THE MYSTERY TO THEM SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE KILLED ALONG WITH THE OTHER ADVISERS IN BABYLON. THEN THAT SAME NIGHT THE MYSTERY WAS REVEALED TO DANIEL IN A VISION, AND HE PRAISED THE GOD OF HEAVEN: "GOD IS WISE AND POWERFUL! PRAISE HIM FOREVER AND EVER. HE CONTROLS THE TIMES AND THE SEASONS; HE MAKES AND UNMAKES KINGS; IT IS HE WHO GIVES WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING. HE REVEALS THINGS THAT ARE DEEP AND SECRET; HE KNOWS WHAT IS HIDDEN IN DARKNESS, AND HE HIMSELF IS SURROUNDED BY LIGHT. I PRAISE YOU AND HONOUR YOU, GOD OF MY ANCESTORS. YOU HAVE GIVEN ME WISDOM AND STRENGTH; YOU HAVE ANSWERED MY PRAYER AND SHOWN US WHAT TO TELL THE KING."

(7) The interpretation of the dream shown to Daniel by God of Heaven (that is, Almighty God) was shared with King Nebuchadnezzar by him.

According to Daniel 2: 26-28

THE KING SAID TO DANIEL (WHO WAS ALSO CALLED BELTESHAZZAR), "CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT I DREAMT AND WHAT IT MEANS?" DANIEL REPLIED, "YOUR MAJESTY, THERE IS NO WIZARD, MAGICIAN, FORTUNE TELLER, OR ASTROLOGER WHO CAN TELL YOU THAT. BUT THERE IS A GOD IN HEAVEN, WHO REVEALS MYSTERIES. HE HAS INFORMED YOUR MAJESTY WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. NOW I WILL TELL YOU THE DREAM, THE VISION YOU HAD WHEN YOU WERE ASLEEP.

According to Daniel 2: 36-49

'THIS WAS THE DREAM. NOW I WILL TELL YOUR MAJESTY WHAT IT MEANS. YOUR MAJESTY, YOU ARE THE GREATEST OF ALL KINGS. THE GOD OF HEAVEN HAS MADE YOU EMPEROR AND GIVEN YOU POWER, MIGHT AND HONOUR. HE HAS MADE YOU RULER OF ALL THE INHABITED EARTH AND RULER OVER ALL THE ANIMALS AND BIRDS. YOU ARE THE HEAD OF GOLD. AFTER YOU THERE WILL BE ANOTHER EMPIRE, NOT AS GREAT AS YOURS, AND AFTER THAT A THIRD, AN EMPIRE OF BRONZE, WHICH WILL RULE THE WHOLE EARTH. AND THEN THERE WILL BE A FOURTH EMPIRE, AS STRONG AS IRON, WHICH SHATTERS AND BREAKS EVERYTHING. AND JUST AS IRON SHATTERS EVERYTHING, IT WILL SHATTER AND CRUSH ALL THE EMPIRES. YOU ALSO SAW THAT THE FEET AND THE TOES WERE PARTLY CLAY AND PARTLY IRON. THIS MEANS THAT IT WILL BE A DIVIDED EMPIRE. IT WILL HAVE SOMETHING OF THE STRENGTH OF IRON, BECAUSE THERE WAS IRON MIXED WITH THE CLAY. THE TOES - PARTLY IRON AND PARTLY CLAY - MEAN THAT PART OF THE EMPIRE WILL BE STRONG AND PART OF IT WEAK. YOU ALSO SAW THAT THE IRON WAS MIXED WITH THE CLAY. THIS MEANS THAT THE RULERS OF THAT EMPIRE WILL TRY TO UNITE THEIR FAMILIES BY INTERMARRIAGE, BUT THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO, ANY MORE THAN IRON CAN MIX WITH CLAY. AT THE TIME OF THOSE RULERS THE GOD OF HEAVEN WILL ESTABLISH A KINGDOM THAT WILL NEVER END. IT WILL NEVER BE CONQUERED, BUT WILL COMPLETELY DESTROY ALL THOSE EMPIRES, AND THEN LAST FOR EVER. YOU SAW HOW A STONE BROKE LOOSE FROM A CLIFF WITHOUT ANYONE TOUCHING IT AND HOW IT STRUCK THE STATUE MADE OF IRON, BRONZE, CLAY, SILVER, AND GOLD. THE GREAT GOD IS TELLING YOUR MAJESTY WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. I HAVE TOLD YOU EXACTLY WHAT YOU DREAMT, AND HAVE GIVEN YOU THE TRUE MEANING." THEN KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR BOWED TO THE GROUND AND GAVE ORDERS FOR SACRIFICES AND OFFERINGS TO BE MADE TO DANIEL. THE KING SAID, "YOUR GOD IS THE GREATEST OF ALL GODS, THE LORD OVER KINGS, AND THE ONE WHO REVEALS MYSTERIES. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO EXPLAIN THE MYSTERY." THEN HE GAVE DANIEL A HIGH POSITION, PRESENTED HIM WITH MANY SPLENDID GIFTS, PUT HIM IN CHARGE OF THE PROVINCE OF BABYLON, AND MADE HIM THE HEAD OF ALL THE ROYAL ADVISERS. AT DANIEL'S REQUEST THE KING PUT SHADRACH, MESHACH AND ABEDNEGO IN CHARGE OF THE AFFAIRS OF THE PROVINCE OF BABYLON; DANIEL, HOWEVER, REMAINED AT THE ROYAL COURT.

Praise God Almighty!!!

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?

Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations.

If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).

Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.

Do you serve targeted advertising?

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
