Jesus Christ, who is Son of Man and the Son of Righteousness (STORYTIME): Read and what's your view

Jesus Christ, who is Son of Man and the Son of Righteousness (STORYTIME): Read and what's your view


People perish due to lack of knowledge means that they go to hell fire (fiery furnace) and lose Eternal life (Heaven/the Kingdom of God) out of ignorance. Thus, ignorance is not an excuse to God Almighty. The word of God is all about those who make Heaven (Kingdom of God) and those who do not make it to Heaven (Kingdom of God). Jesus Christ is "the Word made flesh that dwelt amongst us" (that is, Jesus Christ lived in His own human flesh amongst fellow human beings on this earth).


(1) Different families of different names exist in Heaven and on earth and each family gets the true family name from God, the Father. God, the Father is wealthy in glory and part of His enormous glory is the power for anyone to be strong in his or her inner self and this particular power can be given to us through His Spirit (God, the Holy Spirit). Through Faith, Jesus Christ (God, the Son) makes His home (that is, His dwelling place) in our hearts. We, as good Christians, are meant to be prayerfully rooted in love (know and understand love); and also be founded in love (be built on love) . The love of God in us (rooted & founded in love) helps us to know, experience, take part in, and understand the size and magnitude (that is, the length and breadth; and the width and height) of the love of Jesus Christ (God, the Son). The Love of Jesus Christ cannot be fully known. We, as good Christians, need to be filled with God's nature (that is Godliness); and not live by our human nature (that is, desires of the human flesh). Let all the glory be given to God, the Father in the church and in Jesus Christ (God, the Son)  for all time (always, forever and ever) as His power keeps working in us as good Christians. This power that God, the Father gives us through His Holy Spirit that makes us strong in our inner self is the same power He uses to work miracles and wonders in our lives (that is, things we cannot think of and so,  they are more than we can ever ask for).

NOTE THAT:
(A) THE POWER THAT GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVES US KNOWS WHAT WE NEED MORE THAN US.

(B) WE ALL HAVE AN INNER SELF THAT NEEDS STRENGTH AND GOD, THE FATHER CAN PROVIDE ALL THAT WE NEED SO THAT OUR INNER SELF CAN BE STRENGTHENED FOR THE WORK OF GOD IN ORDER TO BEAR WITNESS FOR JESUS CHRIST WHOLEHEARTEDLY.

(C) ALL GOOD CHRISTIANS ARE GOD'S PEOPLE.

According to Ephesians 3: 14-21
FOR THIS REASON I FALL ON MY KNEES BEFORE THE FATHER, FROM WHOM EVERY FAMILY IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH RECEIVES ITS TRUE NAME. I ASK GOD FROM THE WEALTH OF HIS GLORY TO GIVE YOU POWER THROUGH HIS SPIRIT TO BE STRONG IN YOUR INNER SELVES, I PRAY THAT CHRIST WILL MAKE HIS HOME IN YOUR HEARTS THROUGH FAITH. I PRAY THAT YOU MAY HAVE YOUR ROOTS AND FOUNDATION IN LOVE, SO THAT YOU, TOGETHER WITH ALL GOD'S PEOPLE, MAY HAVE THE POWER TO UNDERSTAND HOW BROAD AND LONG, HOW HIGH AND DEEP, IS CHRIST'S LOVE. YES, MAY YOU COME TO KNOW HIS LOVE - ALTHOUGH IT CAN NEVER BE FULLY KNOWN - AND SO BE COMPLETELY FILLED WITH THE VERY NATURE OF GOD. TO HIM WHO BY MEANS OF HIS POWER WORKING IN US IS ABLE TO DO SO MUCH MORE THAN WE CAN EVER ASK FOR, OR EVEN THINK OF: TO GOD BE THE GLORY IN THE CHURCH AND IN CHRIST JESUS FOR ALL TIME, FOREVER AND EVER! AMEN.



(2) Saul (before he became the well-known Paul of the Holy Bible) was a terrorist, murderer and persecutor against Christians (both male and female followers of the way of the Lord Jesus Christ) who violently threatens all Christians with death (that is, killings or murder). Saul was so desperate to persecute and eradicate Christians in Damascus that he went there through letters from the High priest that introduced him into the Damascus' Synagogues against all good Christians there. Jesus Christ is the Light (not darkness). Jesus Christ came as a great light that flashed round Saul (on his way to Damascus to arrest good Christians) which made him fall to the ground. Jesus Christ asked him, "SAUL, SAUL! WHY DO YOU PERSECUTE ME?" which means that anyone who threatens any good Christian (whether male or female good Christian) is threatening Jesus Christ(God, the Son). Anyone who is violent against any good Christian (whether male or female good Christian) is being violent against Jesus Christ (God, the Son). Anyone who persecutes any good Christian (whether male or female good Christian) is persecuting Jesus Christ (God, the Son). Thus, such a person who threatens, violates, terrorizes and persecutes good Christians must answer to Jesus Christ for his or her wrongdoings against good Christians and must surely do whatsoever Jesus Christ tells him/her to do by all means. The men who came with Saul also heard what Jesus Christ (God, the Son) said but they did not see Him with their eyes. Saul heard what Jesus Christ (God, the Son) said to Him and also saw Him so He got blind for three days throughout which he did not eat or drink anything. A good Christian who lived in Damascus called ANANIAS was visited by Jesus Christ (the Lord God, the Son) who instructed him to go to the house of Judas who lived in the area called "straight street" to ask for Saul (Saul from Tarsus) and heal him. Saul has been praying in blindness and total dry fasting for three days and has already seen ANANIAS in a vision lay hands on him to give him his sight back. Ananias of Damascus mentioned the crimes of Saul against good Christians (the early good Christians) in order to remind Jesus Christ of the evils that Saul did and to make sure that it was the same man He was asking Him to go and heal as he had been told terrible things about this terrorist and persecutor know as Saul from Tarsus. Saul's listed crimes are as follows:
(i) Saul did terrible things to Christians is Jerusalem (that is, all who worshipped Jesus Christ in Jerusalem).
(ii) Saul had come to Damascus with the authority of the chief priests in order to arrest all Christians in Damascus (that is, all who worshipped Jesus Christ in Damascus).
Jesus Christ listened to Ananias and assured him that Saul too will suffer for the sake of His name (Jesus Christ) and is now a called servant of His (that is, Jesus Christ's called servant). All that was required of Saul (who is now widely known by all as Paul) by Jesus Christ (God, the Son) is as listed below: 
(i) Saul becomes a good Christian chosen by  Jesus Christ Himself (must serve Jesus Christ that he has been persecuting everywhere in Jerusalem all the while).
(ii) Saul is to bear witness of Jesus Christ by spreading His name (Jesus Christ) to the following:
(a) Gentiles (b) Kings (c) The people of Israel.
Ananias told Saul that the one who appeared to him as a great light on his way to Damascus is called the Lord Jesus and He is the same person who sent him (Ananias) to give him the following things:
(I) FROM THE LAYING OF HANDS IN THE HOUSE OF JUDAS (AT THE STRAIGHT STREET OF DAMASCUS CITY):
(a) Saul got his sight back again (Saul could see again after what looked like a fish scale fell off his eyes).
(b) Saul got filled with the Holy Spirit (immediately Ananias laid his hands on Saul of Tarsus and prayed for him; he got his sight back and was filled with the Holy Spirit also).

(II) FROM THE BAPTISM WITH PHYSICAL WATER IN THE HOUSE OF JUDAS (AT THE STRAIGHT STREET OF DAMASCUS CITY):
Saul got baptized with water while standing after he got healed of blindness.

(III) FROM THE PHYSICAL FOOD IN THE HOUSE OF JUDAS (AT THE STRAIGHT STREET OF DAMASCUS CITY):
Saul's lack of eating food or drinking water (at least) for three days made him weak but he regained his strength after eating food given to him.

NOTE THAT:
(A) WE ALL HAVE AN OUTER SELF (WHICH IS OUR HUMAN FLESH/BODY) THAT NEEDS STRENGTH AND GOD, THE FATHER CAN PROVIDE THE FOOD THAT WE NEED SO THAT OUR BODY CAN BE STRENGTHENED FOR THE WORK OF GOD IN ORDER TO BEAR WITNESS FOR JESUS CHRIST WHOLEHEARTEDLY.

(B) ANYONE WHO STILL PERSECUTES CHRISTIANS SHOULD KNOW IT NOW THAT MANY TERRORISTS AND PERSECUTORS HAVE EXISTED LONG BEFORE THEM AND JESUS CHRIST STILL REMAINS THE SAME. JESUS CHRIST IS THE FIRST AND THE LAST. JESUS CHRIST IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END. YOU CANNOT STOP JESUS CHRIST.

(C) A PHYSICALLY BLIND PERSON CAN STILL SEE VISION BECAUSE WHAT HE SEES VISION WITH IS HIS OR HER INNERSELF (THAT IS, SPECIFICALLY INNER EYES ALSO CALLED SPIRITUAL EYES).

(D) LOGICALLY, THE JEWS WHO WERE LIKE SAUL BACK THEN PURSUED CHRISTIANS AWAY FROM SYNAGOGUES AS IT WAS NOT SAFE FOR THEM AND THE SPREAD OF THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST HAS TO CONTINUE.

(E) "JESUS CHRIST IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE."

(F) WHATSOEVER YOU DO TO A GOOD CHRISTIAN, YOU ARE DOING IT AGAINST JESUS CHRIST. WE, AS GOOD CHRISTIANS, ARE THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF JESUS CHRIST SO, WHATEVER IS DONE TO THE LEAST (THAT IS, LOWEST) OF THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF JESUS CHRIST, THAT YOU DO UNTO HIM (JESUS CHRIST).

(G) IN THIS BIBLE PASSAGE BELOW, "SO ANANIAS WENT, ENTERED THE HOUSE WHERE SAUL WAS AND PLACED HIS HANDS ON HIM" means that:
(i) SO ANANIAS WENT TO THE PLACE CALLED STRAIGHT STREET IN DAMASCUS.
(ii) THEN HE ENTERED THE HOUSE OF JUDAS WHERE THE PHYSICALLY BLIND SAUL OF TARSUS HAD BEEN STAYING FOR THREE DAYS WITHOUT EATING ANY FOOD OR DRINKING ANY LIQUID (EVEN WATER).
(iii) WHEN ANANIAS SAW THE PHYSICALLY BLIND SAUL OF TARSUS IN THE HOUSE OF JUDAS, HE PLACED HIS HANDS ON SAUL TO HEAL HIM OF HIS PHYSICAL BLINDNESS.

(H) SAUL BECAME BLIND PHYSICALLY, AND NOT SPIRITUALLY.

(I) THE APPARITION OF JESUS CHRIST TO SAUL OF TARSUS (THE TERRORIST, MURDERER, KILLER, PERSECUTOR) THAT CAUSED HIS BLINDNESS HAPPENED NEAR DAMASCUS.

According to Acts 9:1-19
IN THE MEANTIME SAUL KEPT UP HIS VIOLENT THREATS OF MURDER AGAINST THE FOLLOWERS OF THE  LORD. HE WENT TO THE HIGH PRIEST AND ASKED FOR LETTERS OF INTRODUCTION TO THE SYNAGOGUES IN DAMASCUS, SO THAT IF HE SHOULD FIND THERE ANY FOLLOWERS OF THE OF THE WAY OF THE LORD, HE WOULD BE ABLE TO ARREST THEM, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, AND BRING THEM BACK TO JERUSALEM. AS SAUL WAS COMING NEAR THE CITY OF DAMASCUS, SUDDENLY A LIGHT FROM THE SKY FLASHED ROUND HIM. HE FELL TO THE GROUND AND HEARD A VOICE SAYING TO HIM, "SAUL, SAUL! WHY DO YOU PERSECUTE ME? "WHO ARE YOU, LORD?" HE ASKED. "I AM JESUS, WHOM YOU PERSECUTE," THE VOICE SAID. "BUT GET UP AND GO INTO THE CITY, WHERE YOU WILL BE TOLD WHAT YOU MUST DO." THE MEN WHO WERE TRAVELLING WITH SAUL HAD STOPPED, NOT SAYING A WORD; THEY HEARD THE VOICE BUT COULD NOT SEE ANYONE. SAUL GOT UP FROM THE GROUND AND OPENED HIS EYES, BUT COULD NOT SEE A THING. SO THEY TOOK HIM BY THE HAND AND LED HIM INTO DAMASCUS. FOR THREE DAYS HE WAS NOT ABLE TO SEE, AND DURING THAT TIME HE DID NOT EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING. THERE WAS A BELIEVER IN DAMASCUS NAMED ANANIAS. HE HAD A VISION, IN WHICH THE LORD SAID TO HIM, "ANANIAS!" "HERE I AM, LORD," HE ANSWERED. THE LORD SAID TO HIM, "GET READY AND GO TO STRAIGHT STREET, AND AT THE HOUSE OF JUDAS ASK FOR A MAN FROM TARSUS NAMED SAUL. HE IS PRAYING, AND IN A VISION HE HAS SEEN A MAN NAMED ANANIAS COME IN AND PLACE HIS HANDS ON HIM SO THAT HE MIGHT SEE AGAIN." ANANIAS ANSWERED, "LORD, MANY PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS MÀN AND ABOUT ALL THE TERRIBLE THINGS HE HAS DONE TO YOUR PEOPLE IN JERUSALEM.  AND HE HAS COME TO DAMASCUS WITH AUTHORITY FROM THE CHIEF PRIESTS TO ARREST ALL WHO WORSHIP YOU." THE LORD SAID TO HIM, "GO, BECAUSE I HAVE CHOSEN HIM TO SERVE ME, TO MAKE MY NAME KNOWN TO GENTILES AND KINGS AND TO THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL. AND I MYSELF WILL SHOW HIM ALL THAT HE MUST SUFFER FOR MY SAKE." SO ANANIAS WENT, ENTERED THE HOUSE WHERE SAUL WAS AND PLACED HIS HANDS ON HIM. "BROTHER SAUL," HE SAID, "THE LORD HAS SENT ME - JESUS HIMSELF, WHO APPEARED TO YOU ON THE ROAD AS YOU WERE COMING HERE. HE SENT ME SO THAT YOU MIGHT SEE AGAIN AND BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT." AT ONCE SOMETHING LIKE FISH SCALES FELL FROM SAUL'S EYES, AND HE WAS ABLE TO SEE AGAIN. HE STOOD UP AND WAS BAPTIZED; AND AFTER HE HAD EATEN, HIS STRENGTH CAME BACK.




SAY THIS HOLY PRAYER (HOLY BIBLICAL-BASED PRAYER): 
MY LORD AND MASTER JESUS CHRIST, COME AND MAKE MY HEART YOUR HOME. GOD, THE FATHER SEND YOUR HOLY SPIRIT TO ME AND MAKE YOUR GLORIOUS POWER WORK IN ME TO MAKE ME STRONG IN MY INNERSELF; AND ALSO WORK YOUR MIRACLES AND WONDERS IN ME. MY LORD AND MASTER JESUS CHRIST, PLEASE HELP ME TO KNOW THE SIZE AND MAGNITUDE OF YOUR LOVE BY LETTING YOUR LOVE LIVE IN ME. MY LORD AND MASTER JESUS CHRIST, KINDLY SHINE YOUR GREAT LIGHT ON ME ALWAYS TO CORRECT ME WHEN I AM GOING ASTRAY AND KEEP ME ON THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. ALL THESE AND MANY MORE I ASK FOR IN OUR LORD JESUS MIGHTY NAME I HAVE PRAYED. AMEN!!!!

Jesus Christ, our help in the time of trouble: Read and what's your view

Jesus Christ, our help in the time of trouble: Read and what's your view

If the people in this world keeps betraying, persecuting and killing good Christians (the main characteristics of good Christians is that they truly believe in Jesus Christ and bear true witness for Him), the world will keep suffering horrible things as Jesus Christ has promised. It is a big taboo and abomination to betray, persecute and kill any good Christian.



(1) Jesus (God, the Son) is coming soon. God, the Holy Spirit (that is, the Spirit of God) has been given to the true Prophets. Those who obey the prophetic words of the Book of Revelation of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ which Jesus Christ Himself asked Prophet John to write down. An Angel of God showed him the contents of the Book of revelation of the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Angels of God are not to be worshipped, instead make sure you worship the one true God that sends them to do whatever good they do. Based on the Bible passage below, the servants of God are as follows:
(i) Angels of God
(ii) True Prophets 
(iii) Those who obey the prophetic words in the Book of revelation of the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. NOTE THAT: All those who obey the prophetic words in the Book of revelation of the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ are "HAPPY PEOPLE."
The second coming of Jesus Christ must not be kept as a secret as the time is near. The angel of God said that anyone who is a slave of sin (that is, disobedient to God) should continue and anyone who is a slave of righteousness (that is, obedient to God) should also continue. Jesus Christ assures us that He is coming soon to reward each person according to what he/she has done.

NOTE THAT:
(A) JESUS CHRIST IS THE FIRST AND THE LAST.

(B) JESUS CHRIST IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END.

(C) JESUS CHRIST IS THE HOLY DESCENDANT OF THE FAMILY OF KING DAVID.

(D) JESUS CHRIST IS THE BRIGHT MORNING STAR.

(E) THE BRIDE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT (THAT IS, THE SPIRIT OF GOD) IS "VIRGIN MARY."

(F) THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HIS BRIDE ARE BOTH ASKING US TO COME.

(G) ALL WHO HEAR/COMES ACROSS THIS HOLY MESSAGE ABOUT THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST MUST ALSO ASK OTHERS TO COME TO THEM.

(H) THESE PROPHETIC WORDS OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION ARE TRUE AND CAN BE TRUSTED.

(I) ALL THAT IS THE BOOK OF REVELATION OF THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST MUST HAPPEN VERY SOON (NOTE THAT: YOUR OWN DESCRIPTION OF HOW LONG "VERY SOON" MIGHT NOT BE THE SAME WITH THAT OF GOD ALMIGHTY).

(J) ACCORDING TO JESUS CHRIST (GOD, THE SON) IN THE  BIBLE PASSAGE BELOW, THOSE WHO WILL ENTER/MAKE HEAVEN (THAT IS, THE KINGDOM OF GOD) ARE THOSE WHO ARE NO LONGER SLAVES OF SIN BUT ARE NOW SLAVES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH MAKES THEIR ROBES TO BE CLEAN.

(K) ACCORDING TO JESUS CHRIST (GOD, THE SON) IN THE  BIBLE PASSAGE BELOW, THOSE WHO WILL NOT ENTER/MAKE HEAVEN ARE LISTED AS FOLLOWS:
(i) PERVERTS
(ii) THOSE WHO PRACTICE MAGIC
(iii) THE IMMORAL
(iv) MURDERERS
(v) THOSE WHO WORSHIP IDOLS.
(vi) THOSE WHO ARE LIARS IN WHAT THEY SAY AND WHAT THEY DO (THAT IS, THEIR WORDS ARE LIES AND THEIR ACTIONS TOO ARE ALL LIES). 

(L) JESUS CHRIST HAS SENT HIS OWN ANGEL TO ANNOUNCE THESE THINGS IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION OF SECOND COMING IN THE CHURCHES IN THIS WORLD.

(M) THE LORD GOD WHO SENT HIS OWN ANGELS TO ANNOUNCE THE CONTENTS OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION OF THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST IN THE CHURCHES; IS THE SAME LORD GOD WHO SENDS HIS SPIRIT TO THE PROPHETS. THUS, JESUS CHRIST IS THE LORD GOD. THIS BIBLE PASSAGE BELOW, EXPRESSLY TELLS US THAT JESUS CHRIST IS GOD.

(N) PRAISE THE LORD GOD!!!!!!!!!!

(O) Jesus Christ (that is, God the Son) asks us to listen to Him.

(P) Prophet John makes to understand in the Bible passage below that one can kneel down, fall at the feet, prostrate in front of another and still not worship the other person when he said,: "AND WHEN I FINISHED HEARING AND SEEING THEM, I FELL DOWN AT THE FEET OF THE ANGEL WHO HAD SHOWN ME THESE THINGS, AND I WAS ABOUT TO WORSHIP HIM."

According to the Book of Revelation 22: 1-21
THEN THE ANGEL SAID TO ME, "THESE WORDS ARE TRUE AND CAN BE TRUSTED.  AND THE LORD GOD, WHO GIVES HIS SPIRIT TO THE PROPHETS, HAS SENT HIS ANGEL TO SHOW HIS SERVANTS WHAT MUST HAPPEN VERY SOON." "LISTEN!" SAYS JESUS. "I AM COMING SOON! HAPPY ARE THOSE WHO OBEY THE PROPHETIC WORDS IN THIS BOOK!" I, JOHN, HAVE HEARD AND SEEN ALL THESE THINGS. AND WHEN I FINISHED HEARING AND SEEING THEM, I FELL DOWN AT THE FEET OF THE ANGEL WHO HAD SHOWN ME THESE THINGS, AND I WAS ABOUT TO WORSHIP HIM. BUT HE SAID TO ME, "DON'T DO IT! I AM A SERVANT TOGETHER WITH YOU AND WITH YOUR BROTHERS THE PROPHETS AND WITH ALL THOSE WHO OBEY THE WORDS IN THIS BOOK. WORSHIP GOD!" AND HE SAID TO ME, "DO NOT KEEP THE PROPHETIC WORDS OF THIS BOOK A SECRET, BECAUSE THE TIME IS NEAR WHEN ALL THIS WILL HAPPEN. WHOEVER IS EVIL MUST GO ON DOING EVIL, AND WHOEVER IS FILTHY MUST GO ON BEING FILTHY; WHOEVER IS GOOD MUST GO ON DOING GOOD, AND WHOEVER IS HOLY MUST GO ON BEING HOLY." "LISTEN!" SAYS JESUS. "I AM COMING SOON! I WILL BRING MY REWARDS WITH ME, TO GIVE TO EACH ONE ACCORDING TO WHAT HE HAS DONE. I AM THE FIRST AND THE LAST, THE BEGINNING AND THE END." HAPPY ARE THOSE WHO WASH THEIR ROBES CLEAN AND SO HAVE THE RIGHT TO EAT THE FRUIT FROM THE TREE OF LIFE AND TO GO THROUGH THE GATES INTO THE CITY. BUT OUTSIDE THE CITY ARE THE PERVERTS AND THOSE WHO PRACTISE MAGIC, THE IMMORAL AND THE MURDERERS, THOSE WHO WORSHIP IDOLS AND THOSE WHO ARE LIARS BOTH IN WORDS AND DEEDS. "I, JESUS, HAVE SENT MY ANGEL TO ANNOUNCE THESE THINGS TO YOU IN THE CHURCHES. I AM DESCENDED FROM THE FAMILY OF DAVID; I AM THE BRIGHT MORNING STAR." THE SPIRIT AND THE BRIDE SAY, "COME!" EVERYONE WHO HEARS THIS MUST ALSO SAY, "COME!" COME, WHOEVER IS THIRSTY; ACCEPT THE WATER OF LIFE AS A GIFT, WHOEVER WANTS IT.



(2) JESUS CHRIST TOOK PETER, JAMES AND JOHN TO A HIGH MOUNTAIN TO BE ALONE.  JESUS CHRIST APPEARANCE CHANGED THERE AND EVEN HIS CLOTHES BECAME SHINING WHITE THAN ANYBODY IN THIS LIFE CAN EVER WASH (THAT IS, NO MATTER WHAT THE PERSON USE IN WASHING). THE DISCIPLES RECOGNIZED ELIJAH AND MOSES TALKING TO JESUS CHRIST IN HIS NEW APPEARANCE (FORM). EVEN IF THEY WERE SO FRIGHTENED AND DID NOT KNOW WHAT EXACTLY TO SAY, THEY TRIED TO MAKE THREE OF THEM (THAT IS, JESUS CHRIST, ELIJAH AND MOSES) FEEL COMFORTABLE BY OFFERING TO MAKE A SHELTER (TENT) EACH FOR THEM (THAT IS, EVEN FOR THE SPIRITS OF ELIJAH AND MOSES). A voice (that is, God the Father) spoke from the cloud and acknowledged Jesus Christ as His dear Son and instructed all of them to listen to Him  but the disciples looked round and they saw only Jesus Christ (as Prophet Elijah and Prophet Moses had already left). All these were kept secret because Jesus Christ told them to do so until after His resurrection from the dead but they still discussed it amongst the three of them (Peter, James and John) who saw Jesus, Elijah and Moses discussing, even if they didn't know what resurrection from death meant at that time. The disciples reminded Jesus Christ that the teachers of the Laws of God still taught that Elijah will come back again before the Son of Man to get everything ready and Jesus Christ (who is the Son of Man) Himself acknowledged that this was the truth and that Elijah had already come but these same people that were still expecting Him (as at the time they were having the discussion) treated him badly. 

NOTE THAT:
MES AND JOHN IN THOSE DAYS AND; SPIRITS OF THE GOOD PEOPLE WHO HAVE LEFT THIS WORLD LIKE ELIJAH AND MOSES IN THOSE DAYS)  TO LISTEN TO JESUS CHRIST ALWAYS.

(B) BASED ON THE BIBLE PASSAGE BELOW, JESUS CHRIST IS DESCRIBED BY PETER (ONE OF HIS TWELVE APOSTLES) AS TEACHER. AND ACTIVE/WORKING TEACHERS MUST HAVE LEARNERS/STUDENTS (DISCIPLES) UNDER THEM.

(C) JESUS CHRIST CALLED HIMSELF "SON OF MAN."

(D) THESE THREE APOSTLES OF JESUS CHRIST (PETER, JAMES AND JOHN) FOLLOWED HIS ORDER WITHOUT EVEN UNDERSTANDING WHAT THEY WERE WAITING FOR (WHICH WAS JESUS CHRIST'S RESURRECTION FROM DEATH).

(E) IT IS VERY LOGICAL TO SAY THAT JOHN, THE BAPTIST AND ELIJAH ARE THE SAME PERSON BECAUSE JOHN, THE BAPTIST (WHO BAPTIZED JESUS CHRIST WITH WATER) WAS THE ONE WHO CAME TO GET EVERYONE READY FOR THE SON OF MAN (JESUS CHRIST) BUT HE FACED STRONG OPPOSITIONS AND HORRIBLE TREATMENTS FROM THE SAME PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN EXPECTING HIM JUST LIKE JESUS CHRIST (THE SON OF MAN) FACED TOO WHEN HE PREACHED THE TRUTH TO THE PEOPLE.

QUESTIONS: 
(I) IN THOSE DAYS, IF PEOPLE COULD BELIEVE THAT ELIJAH WILL COME AGAIN AFTER HIS DEATH TO GET EVERYTHING READY FOR THE SON OF MAN (GOD, THE SON) WHO WILL COME TO THE WORLD THROUGH A VIRGIN AND BE CALLED IMMANUEL, WHY DIDN'T THEY RECOGNIZE JOHN, THE BAPTIST AS THE PROPHET ELIJAH THAT THEY WERE STILL IGNORANTLY EXPECTING TO COME; AND WHY DIDN'T THEY RECOGNIZE THAT JESUS CHRIST WHO TAUGHT IN THE TEMPLE IN AN EXCEPTIONAL WAY AND PERFORMED AMAZING MIRACLES IS THE SON OF MAN THEY WERE STILL IGNORANTLY WAITING TO COME?

(II) IF WE KNOW THAT LONG AFTER PROPHET ELIJAH'S EXISTENCE ON THIS EARTH, HE CAME BACK AS JOHN THE BAPTIST (A CHILD BORN THROUGH ELIZABETH AND ZECHARIAH) AND EVEN  CAME TO EARTH ALONGSIDE MOSES AND HELD A DISCUSSION WITH JESUS CHRIST IN THE PRESENCE OF THREE PEOPLE OUT OF HIS TWELVE APOSTLES BEFORE HIS CRUCIFIXION, THEN WHY DO PEOPLE STILL FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE SON OF MAN (JESUS CHRIST) WHO CAME TO EARTH AS A CHILD THROUGH VIRGIN MARY AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL COME AGAIN LONG AFTER HIS DEATH, RESURRECTION AND ASCENSION TO JUDGE? IS THERE ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR THE LORD GOD TO DO?

According to Mark 9: 1-13
AND HE WENT ON TO SAY, "I TELL YOU, THERE ARE SOME HERE WHO WILL NOT DIE UNTIL THEY HAVE SEEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD COME WITH POWER." SIX DAYS LATER JESUS TOOK WITH HIM PETER, JAMES, AND JOHN, AND LED THEM UP A HIGH MOUNTAIN, WHERE THEY WERE ALONE. AS THEY LOOKED ON, A CHANGE CAME OVER JESUS , AND HIS CLOTHES BECAME SHINING WHITE - WHITER THAN ANYONE IN THE WORLD COULD WASH THEM. THEN THE THREE DISCIPLES SAW ELIJAH AND MOSES TALKING WITH JESUS. PETER SPOKE UP AND SAID TO JESUS, "TEACHER, HOW GOOD IT IS THAT WE ARE HERE! WE WILL MAKE THREE TENTS, ONE FOR YOU, ONE FOR MOSES, AND ONE FOR ELIJAH." HE AND THE OTHERS WERE SO FRIGHTENED THAT HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO SAY. THEN A CLOUD APPEARED AND COVERED THEM WITH ITS SHADOW, AND A VOICE CAME FROM THE CLOUD, "THIS IS MY OWN DEAR SON - LISTEN TO HIM!" THEY TOOK A QUICK LOOK ROUND BUT DID NOT SEE ANYONE ELSE; ONLY JESUS WAS WITH THEM. AS THEY CAME DOWN THE MOUNTAIN, JESUS ORDERED THEM, "DON'T TELL ANYONE WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN, UNTIL THE SON OF MAN HAS RISEN FROM DEATH." THEY OBEYED HIS ORDER, BUT AMONG THEMSELVES THEY STARTED DISCUSSING THE MATTER, "WHAT DOES THIS 'RISING FROM DEATH' MEAN?" AND THEY ASKED JESUS, "WHY DO THE TEACHERS OF THE LAW SAY THAT ELIJAH HAS TO COME FIRST?" HIS ANSWER WAS, "ELIJAH IS INDEED COMING FIRST IN ORDER TO GET EVERYTHING READY. YET WHY DO THE SCRIPTURES SAY THAT THE SON OF MAN WILL SUFFER MUCH AND BE REJECTED? I TELL YOU, HOWEVER, THAT ELIJAH HAS ALREADY COME AND THAT PEOPLE TREATED HIM JUST AS THEY PLEASED, AS THE SCRIPTURES SAY ABOUT HIM.




****FOOD FOR THOUGHT: 
COME, WHOEVER IS THIRSTY; ACCEPT THE WATER OF LIFE AS A GIFT, WHOEVER WANTS IT. 



***WORDS OF COUNSELLING FROM ME TO YOU: 
(A) NOW YOU SEE, CATEGORICALLY, HOW JESUS CHRIST IS BEGGING YOU TO COME AND COLLECT A GIFT IN THIS LIFE CALLED "THE WATER OF LIFE." DO NOT SAY THAT I DID NOT TELL/WARN YOU. "WE ALL KNOW THAT FOOD IS TO HUNGER WHAT WATER IS TO THIRST." THIS "WATER OF LIFE" IS THE SAME TYPE OF WATER (THE LIVING WATER) THAT JESUS CHRIST OFFERED TO THE SAMARITAN WOMAN AT THE WELL SIDE (AS WRITTEN IN THE HOLY BIBLE) WHICH HE PROMISED HER THAT SHE WILL NOT THIRST AGAIN AFTER SHE TAKES THE LIVING WATER FROM HIM (JESUS CHRIST) AND DRINK.

(B) "COME, WHOEVER IS THIRSTY; ACCEPT THE WATER OF LIFE AS A GIFT, WHOEVER WANTS IT" IS THE SAME IN A WAY WITH WHEN JESUS CHRIST TOLD US, "COME TO ME ALL YOU THAT ARE HEAVY LADENED (BURDENED) AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST. ONE CAN ALSO SAY THAT WATER IS TO THIRST WHAT REST IS TO BURDEN, STRESS AND WORRIES OF LIFE."

(C) ONE CAN SAY THAT JESUS CHRIST IS A SOLUTION GIVER TO ALL PROBLEMS AND TROUBLES OF OUR LIVES AS GOOD CHRISTIANS.

(D) THE WATER OF LIFE/LIVING WATER IS ONLY GIVEN TO THOSE WHO WANTS IT.

(E) GOD, THE FATHER SAYS THAT WE SHOULD ALL LISTEN TO HIS DEAR SON JESUS CHRIST WHICH MEANS DO AS HE TELLS YOU TO; JUST AS VIRGIN MARY ALSO TOLD US TO DO AS HE TELLS US TO AT THE WEDDING AT CANAAN WHEN THE WINE FINISHED AFTER BRINGING THE CASE TO JESUS CHRIST BY HERSELF.



***NOW SING THIS SONG: 
I HAVE A GOD WHO NEVER FAILS (3x); WHO NEVER FAILS; HE WILL NEVER FAIL FOREVER MORE. AMEN!!! JESUS NEVER FAILS (3x); JESUS NEVER FAILS; HE WILL NEVER FAIL FOREVER MORE.

Jesus Christ bought us for a price of His death on the Cross. What love is greater than a person laying down his life/losing his life for another? Jesus Christ also says that, as good Christians, we should love our neighbor as He himself has loved us.

(1) The price of Jesus Christ's death on the Holy Cross is the reason why we who believe in Him are no longer slaves of sin (that is, disobedience to God) but now, we are slaves of righteousness (obedience to God). God takes drastic revenge on all those who persecute and kill good Christians (that is, those who believe in Him and do His will). Jesus Christ warns all good Christians not to deviate from God or get afraid or get disappointed by what happens around them whenever God starts taking His vengeance on evil people far and near us. 

NOTE THAT: 
(A) OUR ONE TRUE GOD IS THE SAME GOD WHO USED A FLOOD TO KILL ALL THE HUMAN CHILDREN, YOUTHS AND ADULTS OF ALL AGES BECAUSE THEY WERE GODLESS EXCEPT EIGHT ADULTS NAMELY: 
(i) NOAH
(ii) NOAH'S WIFE 
(iii) NOAH'S THREE CHILDREN
(iv) THE THREE WIVES OF NOAH'S THREE CHILDREN (THAT IS, ONE WIFE FOR EACH OF  NOAH'S CHILDREN).

(B)  AS TRUE CHRISTIANS THAT WE ARE, WE KNOW THAT OUR ONE TRUE GOD IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVERMORE.

(C) "VANITY UPON VANITY, ALL IS VANITY" IS MOST DESCRIBED IN THIS BIBLE PASSAGE BELOW AS: "AND WHILE SOME WERE SPEAKING OF THE TEMPLE, HOW IT WAS ADORNED WITH NOBLE STONES AND OFFERINGS, HE SAID. "AS FOR THESE THINGS THAT YOU SEE, THE DAYS WILL COME WHEN THERE WILL NOT BE LEFT HERE ONE STONE UPON ANOTHER THAT WILL NOT BE THROWN DOWN."

(D) DO NOT ALLOW FALSE TEACHERS, FALSE PROPHETS, FALSE CHURCH LEADERS ETC LEAD YOU ASTRAY. SOME WILL GO TO THE LENGTH OF CLAIMING THAT THEY ARE JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF. JUST DON'T FOLLOW THEIR TEACHINGS AND WRONG WAYS.

(E)  "NATION WILL RISE AGAINST NATION " COULD BE SEEN AS PHYSICAL WARS WHILE  KINGDOM WILL RISE AGAINST KINGDOM" COULD BE SEEN AS SPIRITUAL WARS.

(F) FAMINE COULD MEAN POVERTY AND HUNGER (LACK OF FOOD GENERALLY) WHILE PESTILENCES COULD MEAN RARE ILLNESSES LIKE COVID-19, EBOLA, HIV/AIDS, AND ANY TYPE OF RARE AND PUZZLING ILLNESSES THAT THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN OR EXPERIENCED SINCE WHEN JESUS CHRIST MADE THIS EXPLANATION IN THE HOLY BIBLE LONG TIME AGO.

(G) ALL THESE MENTIONED IN THE HOLY BIBLE PASSAGE BELOW HAVE BEEN HAPPENING EVER SINCE BECAUSE OF THE PERSECUTION OF GOOD CHRISTIANS THAT STARTED A LONG TIME AGO. ALL THESE IS AN AFTERMATH RESULT.

(H) WE DON'T HAVE TO PLAN WHAT TO SAY IN OUR DEFENSE WHEN FACING PERSECUTION AS GOOD CHRISTIANS BECAUSE GOD THE SON (JESUS CHRIST) WILL GIVE US BOLDNESS TO TALK AND WISDOM ON WHAT TO SAY IN SUCH SITUATIONS TO THE LEVEL THAT NONE OF OUR ATTACKERS/ENEMIES WILL BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND OR CONTRADICT.

(I) THE TIME OF PERSECUTION OF ANY GOOD CHRISTIAN IS A GOOD TIME TO REPRESENT THE GOOD NEWS OF OUR LORD AND MASTER JESUS CHRIST.

(J) BETRAYALS AND PERSECUTIONS WILL COME TO SOME GOOD CHRISTIANS FROM IMMEDIATE FAMILY, RELATIVES AND FRIENDS FOR CHRIST'S JESUS SAKE. SOME GOOD CHRISTIANS WILL BE KILLED FOR CHRIST'S JESUS SAKE AND WE KNOW THAT ALL THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING IN THIS WORLD FOR A VERY LONG TIME NOW AS WELL DESCRIBED IN THE HOLY BIBLE. 

(K) IN THE HOLY BIBLE PASSAGE BELOW, "BUT NOT A HAIR OF YOUR HEAD WILL NOT PERISH" MEANS THAT ALL GOOD CHRISTIANS WILL NOT PERISH IN HELL WHILE "BY YOUR ENDURANCE YOU WILL GAIN YOUR LIVES" MEANS ALL GOOD CHRISTIANS WILL GAIN ETERNAL LIFE (KINGDOM OF GOD/HEAVEN).

(L) DO NOT BE WEIGHED FOWN BY PROBLEMS AND DRUNKENNESS AND DO NOT CARRIED AWAY BY THE WORRIES OF LIFE AS A GOOD CHRISTIAN BECAUSE ALL THESE CAN CAUSE YOU TO LOSE THE KINGDOM OF GOD (ETERNAL LIFE).

(M) BE AT ALERT ALWAYS AND PRAY FOR STRENGTH TO ESCAPE THESE HORRIBLE THINGS CAUSED DUE TO THE BETRAYALS, PERSECUTIONS AND KILLINGS OF GOOD CHRISTIANS OVER TIME AND ALSO  PRAY TO STAND BEFORE JESUS CHRIST.

(N) THE HOLY BIBLE PASSAGE BELOW SAYS THAT EVEN IF ALL THESE HORRIBLE THINGS ARE HAPPENING, THE END OF THE WORLD WILL NOT HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY.

(O) "VENGEANCE IS MINE," SAYS THE LORD

(P) HOW JESUS CHRIST LIVED HIS LIFE AFTER TELLING THEM ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD TILL HE WAS BETRAYED BY JUDAS ISCARIOT AND KILLED ON THE CROSS OF CALVARY IS AS FOLLOWS:

THROUGH OUT THE DAY (FOR EACH DAY):
(i) EVERY DAY HE WAS TEACHING IN THE TEMPLE.

AT NIGHT (FOR EACH DAY):
(ii) BUT AT NIGHT HE WENT OUT AND LODGED ON THE MOUNT CALLED "OLIVET".

EARLY MORNING (FOR EACH DAY):
(iii) AND EARLY IN THE MORNING ALL THE PEOPLE CAME TO HIM IN THE TEMPLE TO HEAR HIM.

According to Luke 21: 5-38
AND WHILE SOME WERE SPEAKING OF THE TEMPLE, HOW IT WAS ADORNED WITH NOBLE STONES AND OFFERINGS, HE SAID. "AS FOR THESE THINGS THAT YOU SEE, THE DAYS WILL COME WHEN THERE WILL NOT BE LEFT HERE ONE STONE UPON ANOTHER THAT WILL NOT BE THROWN DOWN." AND THEY ASKED HIM, TEACHER WHEN WILL THESE THINGS BE, AND WHAT WILL BE THE SIGN WHEN THESE THINGS ARE ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE?" AND HE SAID, "SEE THAT YOU ARE NOT LED ASTRAY, FOR MANY WILL COME IN MY NAME SAYING, 'I AM HE!' AND, 'THE TIME IS AT HAND!' DO NOT GO AFTER THEM. "AND WHEN YOU HEAR OF WARS AND TUMULTS, DO NOT BE TERRIFIED, FOR THESE THINGS MUST FIRST TAKE PLACE, BUT THE END WILL NOT BE AT ONCE." THEN HE SAID TO THEM, "NATION WILL RISE AGAINST NATION AND KINGDOM AGAINST KINGDOM." THERE WILL BE GREAT EARTHQUAKES, AND IN VARIOUS PLACES FAMINES AND PESTILENCES. AND THERE WILL BE TERRORS AND GREAT SIGNS FROM HEAVEN. BUT ALL THIS THEY WILL LAY THEIR HANDS ON YOU AND PERSECUTE YOU, DELIVERING YOU UP TO SYNAGOGUES AND PRISONS, AND YOU WILL BE BROUGHT BEFORE KINGS AND GOVERNORS FOR MY NAME'S SAKE. THIS WILL BE YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO BEAR WITNESS. SETTLE IT THEREFORE IN YOUR MINDS NOT TO MEDITATE BEFOREHAND HOW TO ANSWER, FOR I WILL GIVE YOU AS A MOUTH AND WISDOM, WHICH NONE OF YOUR ADVERSARIES WILL BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND OR CONTRADICT. YOU WILL BE DELIVERED UP EVEN BY PÀRENTS AND BROTHERS AND RELATIVES AND FRIENDS, AND SOME OF YOU THEY WILL PUT TO DEATH. YOU WILL BE HATED BY ALL FOR MY NAME'S SAKE. BUT NOT A HAIR OF YOUR HEAD WILL NOT PERISH. BY YOUR ENDURANCE YOU WILL GAIN YOUR LIVES. BUT WHEN YOU SEE JERUSALEM SURROUNDED BY ARMIES, THEN KNOW THAT ITS DESOLATION HAS COME NEAR. THEN LET THOSE WHO ARE IN JUDEA FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS, AND LET THOSE WHO ARE INSIDE THE CITY DEPART, AND LET NOT THOSE WHO ARE OUT IN THE COUNTRY ENTER IT. FOR THESE ARE THE DAYS OF VENGEANCE, TO FULFILL ALL THAT IS WRITTEN. ALAS FOR WOMEN WHO ARE PREGNANT AND FOR THOSE WHO ARE NURSING INFANTS IN THOSE DAYS! FOR THERE WILL BE GREAT DISTRESS UPON THE EARTH AND WRATH AGAINST THIS PEOPLE. THEY WILL FALL BY THE EDGE OF THE SWORD AND HE LED CAPTIVE AMONG ALL NATIONS, AND JERUSALEM WILL BE TRAMPLED UNDERFOOT BY THE GENTILES, UNTIL THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES ARE FULFILLED. AND THERE WILL BE SIGNS IN SUN AND MOON AND STARS, AND ON THE EARTH DISTRESS OF NATIONS IN PERPLEXITY BECAUSE OF THE ROARING OF THE SEA AND THE WAVES, PEOPLE FAINTING WITH FEAR AND WITH FOREBODING OF WHAT IS COMING ON THE WORLD. FOR THE POWERS OF THE HEAVENS WILL BE SHAKEN. AND THEN THEY WILL SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING IN POWER IN GREAT GLORY. NOW WHEN THESE THINGS BEGIN TO TAKE PLACE, STRAIGHTEN UP AND RAISE YOUR HEADS, BECAUSE YOUR REDEMPTION IS DRAWING NEAR." AND HE TOLD THEM A PARABLE: "LOOK AT THE FIG TREE, AND ALL THE TREES. AS SOON AS THEY COME OUT IN LEAF, YOU SEE FOR YOURSELVES AND KNOW THAT THE SUMMER IS ALREADY NEAR. SO ALSO, WHEN YOU SEE THESE THINGS TAKING PLACE, YOU KNOW THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NEAR. TRULY, I SAY TO YOU, THIS GENERATION WILL NOT PASS AWAY UNTIL ALL HAS TAKEN PLACE. HEAVEN AND EARTH WILL PASS AWAY, BUT MY WORDS WILL NOT PASS AWAY. BUT WATCH YOURSELVES LEST YOUR HEARTS HE WEIGHED DOWN WITH DISSIPATION AND DRUNKENNESS AND CARES OF THIS LIFE, AND THAT DAY COME UPON YOU SUDDENLY LIKE A TRAP. FOR IT WILL COME UPON ALL WHO DWELL ON THE FACE OF THE WHOLE EARTH. BUT STAY AWAKE AT ALL TIMES, PRAYING THAT YOU MAY HAVE STRENGTH TO ESCAPE ALL THESE THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO TAKE PLACE, AND TO STAND BEFORE THE SON OF MAN. AND EVERY DAY HE WAS TEACHING IN THE TEMPLE, BUT AT NIGHT HE WENT OUT AND LODGED ON THE MOUNT CALLED OLIVET. AND EARLY IN THE MORNING ALL THE PEOPLE CAME TO HIM IN THE TEMPLE TO HEAR HIM.



(2) God, the Holy Spirit tells us candidly that some people will leave Jesus Christ and devote their lives to deceitful spirits (instead of the Holy Spirit) and the teachings of demons (instead of the teachings of God) through false teachers, false prophets, false church leaders etc who are insincere liars with tampered/destroyed/dead consciences. We need to allow ourselves to be trained by the words of Faith and good doctrines of the Holy Bible. False teachers/prophets/christians forbid marriage but true teachers/prophets/christians don't.  

NOTE THAT:
(A) MARRIAGE: 
Marriage is not just a combination of love from the man for the woman; and respect and submission from the woman to the man involved in the union but it is also a means to make babies (that is, procreate) because God asked Noah and His descendants (which is all of us) to bear lots of children to fill the earth (that is, spread across the earth. Marriage is optional as Paul says in the Holy Bible as He chose to stay without a woman to concentrate on the work of God but He did not forbid or disrespect marriage for anyone else. 
(i) To marry or not is a choice to be made personally by any Good Christian.
(ii) Marriage is one of the highest requirement in this world mainly because of procreation (that is, giving birth to new ones).

(B) ALL TYPES OF FOOD ARE CREATED BY GOD HIMSELF:
Through Jesus Christ ("The word") and our prayers to God as Good Christians, every food (both plants and animals) that God created is made Holy for us to receive with thanks, gratitude and praises to God (and are not to be rejected). Thus, pray over every food you receive in this life and make sure the prayers are said through Jesus Christ ("The Word"). God asked Noah and all his descendants (that is, all of us) to eat all the animals, birds,and even green plants as food (they are all good to us as God said).

(C) HOW A GOOD CHRISTIAN AND HIS LISTENERS CAN SURVIVE THE PRESENCE OF FAKE/FALSE CHRISTIANS  IN THIS WORLD AND REMAIN A GOOD SERVANT OF JESUS CHRIST:
As a true Christian, a true teacher of the word of God, a true prophet etc; the ability to closely watch one's own self in order to avoid deviating from the one true God and; be careful of what you teach or tell your hearers/listeners is the main step or act that can save oneself and those of his/her followers or hearers or listeners (that is, congregation etc). Do not ignore the gift and ability given to you by the Holy Spirit. Spread the word of God (the Holy Bible), praise and worship God  and also explain and teach the meaning of the word of God with all your heart and soul as this is the best way to practice your faith in God so that people will see your progress in the work of God. Train yourself for Godliness as this is what has value and promise now in this world (in this present life) and also in the world to come (that is, after this life). The Living God is the Saviour of all people most especially those who believe in Him (that is, those who believe in Jesus Christ who is God's only Son). The toil and strive (our struggles and hustles) in this life as Good Christians is because of our hope in Jesus Christ (God, the Son).

(D) WHAT IS "THE SAYING IS TRUSTWORTHY AND DESERVING OF FULL ACCEPTANCE"?:
THE SAYING IS TRUSTWORTHY AND DESERVING OF FULL ACCEPTANCE IS "HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IRREVERENT, SILLY MYTHS. RATHER TRAIN YOURSELF  FOR  GODLINESS; FOR WHILE BODILY TRAINING IS OF SOME VALUE, GODLINESS IS OF VALUE IN EVERY WAY, AS IT HOLDS PROMISE FOR THE PRESENT LIFE AND ALSO FOR THE LIFE TO COME."

(E) AS A YOUTHFUL/YOUNG GOOD CHRISTIAN, DO NOT ATTRACT UNNECESSARY HATRED TO YOURSELF AND LIVE YOUR LIFE BY GOOD EXAMPLE IN WHAT YOU SAY, THE WAY YOU BEHAVE, LOVE, FAITH AND HOLINESS.

(F) "COMMAND AND TEACH THESE THINGS" MEANS: "AS TRUE/GOOD CHRISTIANS, WE ARE MEANT TO COMMAND/INSTRUCT/TELL OTHERS TO DO THESE GOOD THINGS IN THE HOLY BIBLE PASSAGE BELOW AND ALSO EXPLAIN HOW THEY ARE TO BE DONE AND WHAT THEY ARE ALL ABOUT.

According to 1 Timothy 4: 1-16
NOW THE SPIRIT EXPRESSLY SAYS THAT IN LATER TIMES SOME WILL DEPART FROM THE FAITH BY DEVOTING THEMSELVES TO DECEITFUL SPIRITS AND TEACHINGS OF DEMONS, THROUGH THE INSINCERITY OF LIARS WHOSE CONSCIENCES ARE SEARED, WHO FORBID MARRIAGE AND REQUIRE ABSTINENCE FROM FOODS THAT GOD CREATED TO BE RECEIVED WITH THANKSGIVING BY THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND KNOW THE TRUTH. FOR EVERYTHING CREATED BY GOD IS GOOD, AND NOTHING IS TO BE REJECTED IF IT IS RECEIVED WITH THANKSGIVING. FOR IT IS MADE HOLY BY THE WORD OF GOD AND PRAYER. IF YOU PUT THESE THINGS BEFORE THE BROTHERS,  YOU WILL BE A GOOD SERVANT OF CHRIST JESUS, BEING TRAINED IN THE WORDS OF FAITH AND OF THE GOOD DOCTRINE THAT YOU HAVE FOLLOWED. HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IRREVERENT, SILLY MYTHS. RATHER TRAIN YOURSELF  FOR  GODLINESS; FOR WHILE BODILY TRAINING IS OF SOME VALUE, GODLINESS IS OF VALUE IN EVERY WAY, AS IT HOLDS PROMISE FOR THE PRESENT LIFE AND ALSO FOR THE LIFE TO COME. THE SAYING IS TRUSTWORTHY AND DESERVING OF FULL ACCEPTANCE. FOR TO THIS END WE TOIL AND STRIVE, BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR HOPE SET ON THE LIVING GOD, WHO IS THE SAVIOR OF ALL PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY OF THOSE WHO BELIEVE. COMMAND AND TEACH THESE THINGS. LET NO ONE DESPISE YOU FOR YOUR YOUTH, BUT SET THE BELIEVERS AN EXAMPLE IN SPEECH, IN  CONDUCT, IN LOVE, IN FAITH, IN PURITY. UNTIL I COME, DEVOTE YOURSELF TO THE PUBLIC READING OF SCRIPTURE, TO EXHORTATION, TO TEACHING. DO NOT NEGLECT THE GIFT YOU HAVE, WHICH WAS GIVEN YOU BY PROPHECY WHEN THE COUNCIL OF ELDERS LAID THEIR HANDS ON YOU. PRACTICE THESE THINGS, IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THEM, SO THAT ALL MAY SEE YOUR PROGRESS. KEEP A CLOSE WATCH ON YOURSELF AND ON THE TEACHING. PERSIST IN THIS, FOR BY SO DOING YOU WILL SAVE BOTH YOURSELF AND YOUR HEARERS.





SAY THIS (IN PIDGIN ENGLISH): I GET MOUTH BECAUSE JESUS CHRIST DONE GIVE ME MOUTH AS THE GOOD CHRISTIAN WEY I BE. JESUS CHRIST NA HIM SURE FOR LIFE!!!!!


PRAISE THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!!!!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: ALL THAT GOD CREATED IS GOOD, AND NOTHING IS TO BE REJECTED IF IT IS RECEIVED WITH THANKSGIVING.

SENT BY GOD, THE FATHER: READ AND WHAT'S YOUR VIEW

SENT BY GOD, THE FATHER: READ AND WHAT'S YOUR VIEW

God, the Father sent God, the Son (that is, Jesus Christ) to earth in human flesh as a child and after God, the Son (Jesus Christ)  died on this earth, resurrected and ascended into Heaven in His adulthood (in His grown human flesh/body); God the Holy Spirit came down upon all the true disciples of God.

(1) We have to be born again not physically but spiritually. Performing miracles (which is also a gift of God, the Holy Spirit) can make some people believe that God is with one. Being born again makes us the children of the Holy Spirit spiritually. Nicodemus was a grown man and a great Jewish leading teacher but he still had to ask questions because He did not know these things. As people interested in knowing more about God and His great works, we have to ask Him about things that we do not know and/or understand. Eternal life (Kingdom of God/Heaven) for all who believes in God, the Son is the main reason that God, the Father sent God, the Son (Jesus Christ) to this world in human flesh/body through God, the Holy Spirit and Virgin Mary so this is the reason why Jesus Christ's first coming (in human flesh/body) was to save the world (for God so loved the world -after all God created and owns this world and everything in it) but we know that Jesus Christ's second coming to all at once (which will be the same way He ascended into Heaven as a grown man) will be to Judge (that is, the end of the world). Jesus Christ is the light! Oh Yes, Jesus Christ is the light!! Light (which is Jesus Christ) and darkness (which is satan) cannot be or work together.

NOTE THAT:
(A) When you believe in Jesus Christ (God, the Son) who is light then you are not judged but saved.

(B) When you do not believe in Jesus Christ (God, the Son) who is light then you are judged already.

(C) Those who do good/true things show that they love Jesus Christ who is the light. 

(D) Those who do bad/evil things show that they hate Jesus Christ who is the light (thus, they love darkness). 

(E) There were two main parties back then there (just like we have the political parties nowadays etc.): 
(i) The party of the "PHARISEES." 
(ii) The party of the "SADDUCEES."

(F) Nicodemus was a leader who was a Jew.

(G) Nicodemus was a grown man that belonged to "the PHARISEES' PARTY."

(H) To Nicodemus and some other people: Jesus Christ was "A TEACHER SENT BY GOD" because of the great miracles that He performed (Jesus Christ performed rare and unique types of miracles when He lived here on earth in human flesh/body).

(I) We, as good Christians, also know that "JESUS CHRIST IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE."

(J) NOBODY CAN SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD WITH HIS OR HER EYES IF HE OR SHE IS NOT BORN AGAIN (THAT IS, BORN OF THE SPIRIT).

(K) NOBODY CAN ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD WITH HIS WHOLE SELF IF HE OR SHE IS NOT BORN OF BOTH THE WATER AND THE SPIRIT.

(L) THUS, TO SEE HEAVEN (KINGDOM OF GOD) WITH YOUR EYES: BE BORN OF THE SPIRIT THAT IS BE BORN AGAIN. WE MUST ALL BE BORN AGAIN, SAYS OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

(M) THUS, TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD (HEAVEN): BE BORN OF BOTH 
(i) THE WATER and;
(ii) THE SPIRIT

(N) In the Bible passage below, Jesus Christ says that people who do not believe in Him when the things of this world is used in explaining the eternal life (Heaven/Kingdom of God); then, how do these kind of people expect to believe when the heavenly things are used in explaining eternal life (Heaven/Kingdom of God) to them instead.

(O) Jesus Christ was still visiting/going to heaven even as He was still here on earth in human flesh as he said when He was still alive on this earth (before Judas Iscariot betrayed Him; His death on the Cross; His Resurrection from the dead and His Ascension into Heaven from earth): "AND NO ONE HAS EVER GONE UP TO HEAVEN EXCEPT THE SON OF MAN, WHO CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN."

(P) JESUS CHRIST ALSO USED THAT OPPORTUNITY TO TELL NICOMEDUS AND THE OTHER INQUISITIVE PEOPLE THERE ABOUT HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS; RISING FROM THE DEAD (RESURRECTION); AND ASCENSION FOR HE WAS LIFTED UP IN ALL THREE OCCASIONS: "AS MOSES LIFTED UP THE BRONZE SNAKE ON A POLE IN THE DESERT, IN THE SAME WAY THE SON MAN MUST BE LIFTED UP, SO THAT EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM MAY HAVE ETERNAL LIFE."

(Q)  When you do what is right (good), then you will gladly come to Jesus Christ (who is the Light) because even if the worldly people tries to condemn and persecute you, all you did was out of obedience to God. You will always have Jesus Christ to run to when you obey God's instructions.

(R) When you do what is wrong (evil), then you will be ashamed to come to Jesus Christ (who is the Light) because even if the worldly people supports and commend you, all the evil things you did will be exposed by God. When you try to come to Jesus Christ (God, the Son) after doing evil things, those evil things in your past cannot be accommodated as they will be exposed by Jesus Christ (God, the Son) in His own way.

(S) In the Holy Bible passage below, Jesus Christ is described as the "BRONZE SNAKE" that Moses lifted on a pole in the desert that healed all who needed healing at that time.

According to John 3: 1-21
THERE WAS A JEWISH LEADER NAMED NICODEMUS, WHO BELONGED TO THE PARTY OF THE PHARISEES. ONE NIGHT HE WENT TO JESUS AND SAID TO HIM, "RABBI, WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE A TEACHER SENT BY GOD. NO ONE COULD PERFORM THE MIRACLES YOU ARE DOING UNLESS GOD WERE WITH HIM." JESUS ANSWERED, "I AM TELLING YOU THE TRUTH: NO ONE CAN SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD WITHOUT BEING BORN AGAIN." "HOW CAN A GROWN MAN BE BORN AGAIN?" NICODEMUS ASKED. "HE CERTAINLY CANNOT ENTER HIS MOTHER'S WOMB AND BE BORN THE SECOND TIME!" "I AM TELLING YOU THE TRUTH," REPLIED JESUS. "NO ONE CAN ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD WITTHOUT BEING BORN OF WATER AND THE SPIRIT. A PERSON IS BORN PHYSICALLY OF HUMAN PARENTS, BUT IS BORN SPIRITUALLY OF THE SPIRIT. DO NOT BE SURPRISED BECAUSE I TELL YOU THAT YOU MUST ALL BE BORN AGAIN. THE WIND BLOWS WHEREVER IT WISHES; YOU HEAR  THE SOUND IT MAKES, BUT YOU DO NOT KNOW WHERE IT COMES FROM OR WHERE IT IS GOING. IT IS  LIKE THAT WITH EVERYONE WHO IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT." "HOW CAN THIS BE?" ASKED NICODEMUS. JESUS ANSWERED, "YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER IN ISRAEL, AND YOU DON'T KNOW THIS? I AM TELLING YOU THE TRUTH: WE  SPEAK OF WHAT WE KNOW AND REPORT WHAT WE HAVE SEEN, YET NONE OF YOU IS WILLING TO ACCEPT OUR MESSAGE. YOU DO NOT BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU ABOUT THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD; HOW WILL YOU EVER BELIEVE ME; THEN, WHEN I TELL YOU ABOUT THE THINGS OF HEAVEN? AND NO ONE HAS EVER GONE UP TO HEAVEN EXCEPT THE SON OF MAN, WHO CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN." AS MOSES LIFTED UP THE BRONZE SNAKE ON A POLE IN THE DESERT, IN THE SAME WAY THE SON MAN MUST BE LIFTED UP, SO THAT EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM MAY HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. FOR GOD LOVED THE WORLD SO MUCH THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON, SO THAT EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM MAY NOT DIE BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. FOR GOD DID NOT SEND HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO BE ITS JUDGE, BUT TO BE ITS SAVIOUR. THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN THE SON ARE NOT JUDGED; BUT THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE HAVE ALREADY BEEN JUDGED, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT BELIEVED IN GOD'S ONLY SON. THIS IS HOW THE JUDGEMENT WORKS: THE LIGHT HAS COME INTO THE WORLD, BUT PEOPLE LOVE THE DARKNESS RATHER THAN THE LIGHT, BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS ARE EVIL. ALL THOSE WHO DO EVIL THINGS HATE THE LIGHT AND WILL NOT COME TO THE LIGHT, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT THEIR EVIL TO BE SHOWN UP. BUT THOSE WHO DO WHAT IS TRUE COME TO THE LIGHT IN ORDER THAT THE LIGHT MAY SHOW THAT WHAT THEY DID WAS IN OBEDIENCE TO GOD.



(2) It takes the presence of the Holy Spirit in anybody for that same person (with the Holy Spirit) to really believe, confess and agree that Jesus Christ is Lord (God, the Son). Those who have the God, the Holy Spirit  in them cannot say anything bad against Jesus Christ (God, the Son) no matter what. There are different ways for different people to serve God through the help of the Holy Spirit (not evil spirit). The same God, the Holy Spirit gives these people the different spiritual gifts and abilities that they use in serving our one true God (that is, to do the assigned work of God in their lifetime). The Spirit of God manifests in different forms and manners on different people.

NOTE THAT: Some of the kinds/types of the gifts and abilities that God, the Holy Spirit can give people (as God, the Holy Spirit only gives gifts and abilities to God's people as it pleases Him to) are listed as shown below:
(A) Having messages of God that is filled with great knowledge (for example prophecy, that is, knowing the future, knowing the past etc).

(B) Having messages of God that is filled with wisdom (for example wisdom on how to settle issues like King Solomon with the two women in the Holy Bible).

(C) The gift of Faith.

(D) The power to heal so many kinds of illnesses, diseases etc.

(E) The gift to work miracles (for example, to do the unusual through God-given power).

(F) The gift of speaking the messages of God (for example, teaching; evangelism).

(G) The gift to know who is operating with the Holy spirit of God and who is not.

(H) The ability to speak in strange tongues.

(I) The ability to interprete strange tongues spoken through the gift of the Holy Spirit.

(J) Those unbelievers (heathens) who used to worship lifeless idols as their god can experience God, the Holy Spirit and get the gifts of the Holy Spirit if and only if they truly repent and serve the one true God in truth and in spirit:
(i) In truth means in Jesus Christ
(ii) In Spirit means in the Holy Spirit as Born again.

(K) Different people with different abilities given to them by the same God, the Holy Spirit (THE SPIRIT OF GOD) serve God in totally different ways but the main purpose still remains "ETERNAL LIFE" (THE HEAVEN/KINGDOM OF GOD) FOR ALL WHO BELIEVES IN GOD'S ONLY SON (JESUS CHRIST) WHO CAME TO DIE FOR OUR SINS AND WAS RESURRECTED ON THE THIRD DAY AFTER HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS AND HAVE LONG ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN.

(L) WHATEVER GIFTS AND ABILITIES THAT GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT DECIDES TO GIVE TO ANYONE IS NOT JUST FOR THE GOOD OF THE PERSON GIVEN THE GIFT BUT ALSO FOR THE GOOD AND BENEFITS OF ALL.

(M) THE SPIRIT OF GOD (THAT IS, GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT) CAN DO ALL THINGS AS GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT HIMSELF HAS LOTS OF POWER, GIFTS, ABILITIES ETC. 

(N) GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT (THE SPIRIT OF GOD) IS ALL IN ONE AND HE COMES IN THE WAY IT PLEASES HIM TO COME AT ANYTIME, ANYWHERE AND TO ANYONE IN ANY SITUATION, OCCASION, EVENT ETC. GOD IS WISE!!!

According to 1 Corinthians 12: 1-11
NOW, CONCERNING WHAT YOU WROTE ABOUT THE GIFTS FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT THEM, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS. YOU KNOW THAT WHILE YOU WERE STILL HEATHEN, YOU WERE LED ASTRAY IN MANY WAYS TO THE WORSHIP OF LIFELESS IDOLS. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT NO ONE WHO IS LED BY GOD'S SPIRIT CAN SAY "A CURSE ON JESUS!" AND NO ONE CONFESS "JESUS IS LORD", WITHOUT BEING GUIDED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. THERE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS OF SPIRITUAL GIFTS, BUT THE SAME SPIRIT GIVES THEM. THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS OF SERVING, BUT THE SAME LORD IS SERVED. THERE ARE DIFFERENT ABILITIES TO PERFORM SERVICE, BUT THE SAME GOD GIVES THE ABILITY TO ALL FOR THEIR PARTICULAR SERVICE. THE SPIRIT'S PRESENCE IS SHOWN IN SOME WAY IN EACH PERSON FOR THE GOOD OF ALL. THE SPIRIT GIVES ONE PERSON A MESSAGE FULL OF WISDOM, WHILE TO ANOTHER PERSON THE SAME SPIRIT GIVES A MESSAGE FULL OF KNOWLEDGE. ONE AND THE SAME SPIRIT GIVES FAITH TO ONE PERSON, WHILE TO ANOTHER PERSON HE GIVES THE POWER TO HEAL. THE SPIRIT GIVES ONE PERSON THE POWER TO WORK MIRACLES; TO ANOTHER, THE GIFT OF SPEAKING GOD'S MESSAGE; AND TO YET ANOTHER, THE ABILITY TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GIFTS THAT COME FROM THE SPIRIT AND THOSE THAT DO NOT. TO ONE PERSON HE GIVES THE ABILITY TO SPEAK IN STRANGE TONGUES, AND TO ANOTHER HE GIVES THE ABILITY TO EXPLAIN WHAT IS SAID. BUT IT IS ONE AND THE SAME SPIRIT WHO DOES ALL THIS; AS HE WISHES, HE GIVES A DIFFERENT GIFT TO EACH PERSON.



I THANK GOD THAT JESUS CHRIST CAME TO SAVE ME TOO!!!

PRAISE GOD!

JESUS IS LORD! JESUS IS LORD!! JESUS IS LORD!!! JESUS IS LORD!!!! JESUS IS LORD!!!!!

GOD IS WISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"The Called" by God, the Mountain Mover and shaker: Read and what's your view

"The Called" by God, the Mountain Mover and shaker: Read and what's your view

Right from the days of John the Baptist, the Kingdom of God suffers violence and only the violent takes it by force. This is according to Matthew 11:12
Note that:
"The kingdom of God" means "Heaven"
"suffers violence" means suffers persecutions, killings etc.
"the violent" are the never relenting true/good servants of God (true/good Christians).
"Takes it" means gains eternal life and the heavenly glory attached to it (makes Heaven).
"by force" means never relenting (that is, the same "bad" unrelenting zeal/force with which the evil ones do all they do to stop you from making heaven is the same level or more "good" unrelenting zeal/force you need to use to stop the evil ones from causing you to lose eternal life (that is, heaven)

(1) How Daniel (the Dreamer and interpreter) and his three friends got to Babylon and worked closely with the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar was under a very disastrous circumstance but they still survived because they obeyed the Laws of Moses (that is, the laws given to Moses by God) and God was truly with them:


(A) They carried away the Treasures of the Temple of God (including the bronze objects that King Solomon made for the temple and all other important Temple treasures) kept over time in Jerusalem to Babylonia. The gold, silver and bronze objects in the temple of God were all carried away.

(B) Then, God's temple in Jerusalem was burnt down.

(C) The Jerusalem's rich and important people's houses (FOR INSTANCE: THE ROYAL FAMILY PALACE, THE NOBLE FAMILIES HOUSES ETC.) were burnt down to ashes.

(D) All the Jerusalem's rich and important people (FOR INSTANCE: THE ROYAL FAMILY, THE NOBLE FAMILIES, ETC.) were carried away to Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar's adviser and commander of his army called Nebuzaradan; as prisoners/slaves of war.

(E) Judah (One of the twelve tribes of Israel) was left with the poorest people who were made to work tiredlessly on the vineyard and fields of Jerusalem for King Nebuchadnezzar to take the harvests.

(F) It was on the 10th day of 5th month of the 19th year of King Nebucadnezzar's rule in Babylon and je lived IN THE CITY OF RIBLAH IN THE TERRITORY OF HAMATH IN BABYLONIA.

(G) It was the 3rd year of King Jehoiachin's rule in Jerusalem and he lived IN THE CITY OF JUDAH IN JERUSALEM BEFORE THE ATTACK BY NEBUZARADAN (WHO WAS SENT BY KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR OF BABYLONIA). King Jehoiachin spent three years as King in Jerusalem but spent his next 37 years in Babylonia prison until Evilmerodach showed him kindness and released him from prison. After King Jehoiachin was released by King Evilmerodach of BABYLONIA on the 25th day of the 12th month of the 37th year after King Jehoiachin of Judah became a Babylonia prisoner in the hands of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia:
(i) King Jehoiachin of Judah was given a position and of greater honour than the other Kings of other nations who were also in exile at BABYLONIA.
(ii) King Jehoiachin no longer wore Babylon prison clothes.
(iii) King Jehoiachin dined at the BABYLONIA King's table for the rest of his life here on earth (for as long as he lived here on earth).
(iv) He was given a regular allowance for his needs everyday (each day) for as long as he lived here on earth (for the rest of his life here on earth).

(H) Thus, King Nebuchadnezzar had already ruled as a King in Babylonia for 16 years before King Jehoiachin came into powered as a King in the Judah (in Jerusalem).

(I) King Nebuchadnezzar took a total of 4,600 people of Judah (in Jerusalem) for three consecutive times that he attacked Jerusalem through His adviser and commander of army called Nebuzaradan as shown in the Bible passage below:
(i) 3,023 people were carried away to Babylonia from Jerusalem by Nebuzaradan in the 7th year of King Nebuchadnezzar's rule in Babylonia.
(ii) 832 people were carried away to Babylonia from Jerusalem by Nebuzaradan in the 18th year of King Nebuchadnezzar's rule in Babylonia.
(iii) 745 people were carried away to Babylonia from Jerusalem by Nebuzaradan in the 23rd year of King Nebuchadnezzar's rule in Babylonia.

(J) FROM THE BIBLE PASSAGE, NEBUZARADAN TOOK 74 IMPORTANT PERSONS FROM THE CITY OF JUDAH IN JERUSALEM TO KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR OF BABYLONIA, WHO WAS IN THE CITY OF RIBLAH IN THE TERRITORY OF HAMATH WHERE THE KING HAD THEM BEATEN AND PUT TO DEATH. NAMELY:
(i) SERAIAH THE HIGH PRIEST.
(ii) ZEPHANIAH THE PRIEST NEXT IN RANK, (iii) THE THREE OTHER IMPORTANT TEMPLE OFFICIALS.
(iv) THE OFFICER WHO HAD BEEN IN COMMAND OF THE TROOPS OF JERUSALEM (IN JUDAH).
(v) SEVEN OF THE KING JEHOIAKIM'S PERSONAL ADVISERS WHO WERE STILL IN THE CITY OF JUDAH IN JERUSALEM 
(vi) THE COMMANDER'S ASSISTANT, WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF MILITARY RECORDS. 
(vii) SIXTY OTHER IMPORTANT MEN.

(K) WITH THIS TYPE OF BIBLE HISTORY OF KILLINGS, LOOTING, ENSLAVERY, IMPRISONMENT, TORTURE/BEATINGS, TEMPLE BURNING WITH FIRE, BURNING DOWN OF THE PALACE AND OTHER MAGNIFICENT HOUSES,  ETC; IT IS OBVIOUS THAT KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR NEVER LIKED JERUSALEM AND ITS PEOPLE TOO.

(L) KING EVILMERODACH TREATED ALL THE KINGS IN EXILE AT BABYLONIA (WHEN HE WAS KING OF BABYLONIA) WITH RESPECT AND HONOUR.



According to Jeremiah 52: 12-23
ON THE TENTH DAY OF THE FIFTH MONTH OF THE NINETEENTH YEAR OF KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR OF BABYLONIA, NEBUZARADAN, ADVISER TO THE KING AND COMMANDER OF HIS ARMY, ENTERED JERUSALEM. HE BURNT DOWN THE TEMPLE, THE PALACE, AND THE HOUSES OF ALL THE IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN JERUSALEM; AND HIS SOLDIERS TORE DOWN THE CITY WALLS. THEN NEBUZARADAN TOOK AWAY TO BABYLONIA THE PEOPLE WHO WERE LEFT IN THE CITY, THE REMAINING SKILLED WORKMEN, AND THOSE WHO HAD DESERTED TO THE BABYLONIANS. BUT HE LEFT IN JUDAH SOME OF THE POOREST PEOPLE WHO OWNED NO PROPERTY, AND HE PUT THEM TO WORK IN THE VINEYARDS AND FIELDS. THE BABYLONIANS BROKE IN PIECES THE BRONZE COLUMNS AND THE CARTS THAT WERE IN THE TEMPLE, TOGETHER WITH THE LARGE BRONZE TANK, AND THEY TOOK ALL THE BRONZE TO BABYLON. THEY ALSO TOOK AWAY THE SHOVELS AND THE ASH CONTAINERS USED IN CLEANING THE ALTAR, THE TOOLS USED IN TENDING THE LAMPS, THE BOWLS USED FOR CATCHING THE BLOOD FROM THE SACRIFICES, THE BOWLS USED FOR BURNING INCENSE, AND ALL THE OTHER USED IN THE TEMPLE SERVICE. THEY TOOK AWAY EVERYTHING THAT WAS MADE OF GOLD OR SILVER: THE SMALL BOWLS, THE PANS, USED FOR CARRYING LIVE COALS, THE BOWLS FOR HOLDING THE BLOOD FROM THE SACRIFICES, THE ASH CONTAINERS, THE LAMPSTANDS, THE BOWLS USED FOR INCENSE, AND THE BOWLS USED FOR POURING OUT OFFERINGS OF WINE. THE BRONZE OBJECTS THAT KING SOLOMON HAD MADE FOR THE TEMPLE - THE TWO COLUMNS, THE CARTS, THE LARGE TANK, AND THE TWELVE BULLS THAT SUPPORTED IT - WERE TOO HEAVY TO WEIGH. THE TWO COLUMNS WERE IDENTICAL: EACH ONE WAS 8 METRES HIGH AND 5.3 METRES ROUND. THEY WERE HOLLOW, AND THE METAL WAS 75 MILLIMETRES THICK. ON TOP OF EACH COLUMN WAS A BRONZE CAPITAL 2.2 METRES HIGH, AND ALL ROUND IT WAS A GRATING DECORATED WITH POMEGRANATES, ALL OF WHICH WAS ALSO MADE OF BRONZE. ON THE GRATING OF EACH COLUMN THERE WERE A HUNDRED POMEGRANATES IN ALL, AND 96 OF THESE WERE VISIBLE FROM THE GROUND. IN ADDITION, NEBUZARADAN, THE COMMANDING OFFICER, TOOK AWAY AS PRISONERS SERAIAH THE HIGH PRIEST, ZEPHANIAH THE PRIEST NEXT IN RANK, AND THE THREE OTHER IMPORTANT TEMPLE OFFICIALS. FROM THE CITY HE TOOK THE OFFICER WHO HAD BEEN IN COMMAND OF THE TROOPS, SEVEN OF THE KING'S PERSONAL ADVISERS WHO WERE STILL IN THE CITY, THE COMMANDER'S ASSISTANT, WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF MILITARY RECORDS, AND 60 OTHER IMPORTANT MEN. NEBUZARADAN TOOK THEM TO THE KING OF BABYLONIA, WHO WAS IN THE CITY OF RIBLAH IN THE TERRITORY OF HAMATH. THERE THE KING HAD THEM BEATEN AND PUT TO DEATH. SO THE PEOPLE OF JUDAH WERE CARRIED AWAY FROM THEIR LAND TO EXILE. THIS IS THE RECORD OF THE PEOPLE THAT NEBUCHADNEZZAR TOOK AWAY AS PRISONERS: IN HIS SEVENTH YEAR AS KING HE CARRIED AWAY 3,023; IN HIS EIGHTEENTH YEAR, 832 FROM JERUSALEM; AND IN HIS 23RD YEAR, 745 - TAKEN AWAY BY NEBUZARADAN. IN ALL, 4,600 PEOPLE WERE TAKEN AWAY. IN THE YEAR THAT EVILMERODACH BECAME KING OF BABYLONIA, HE SHOWED KINDNESS TO KING JEHOIACHIN OF JUDAH BY RELEASING HIM FROM PRISON. THIS HAPPENED ON THE 25TH DAY OF THE TWELFTH MONTH OF THE 37TH  YEAR AFTER JEHOIACHIN HAD BEEN TAKEN AWAY AS A PRISONER. EVILMERODACH TREATED HIM KINDLY AND GAVE HIM A POSITION OF GREATER HONOUR THAN HE GAVE THE OTHER KINGS WHO WERE EXILES WITH HIM IN BABYLONIA. SO JEHOIACHIN WAS PERMITTED TO CHANGE FROM HIS PRISON CLOTHES AND TO DINE AT THE KING'S TABLE FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE. EACH DAY FOR AS LONG AS HE LIVED, HE WAS GIVEN A REGULAR ALLOWANCE FOR HIS NEEDS.



According to Daniel 1: 1-4
IN THE THIRD YEAR THAT JEHOIACHIN WAS KING OF JUDAH, KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR OF BABYLONIA ATTACKED JERUSALEM AND SURROUNDED THE CITY. THE LORD LET HIM CAPTURE KING JEHOIACHIN AND SEIZE SOME OF THE TEMPLE TREASURES. HE TOOK 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 WOULD BE QUALIFIED TO SERVE IN THE ROYAL COURT. ASHPENAZ WAS TO TEACH THEM TO READ AND WRITE THE BABYLONIAN LANGUAGE.


Jesus Christ came in time, in form of human flesh through the Holy spirit and Virgin Mary, to help save human kind, most especially, the called and chosen ones of God and even if He was mostly rejected at the end of His life's journey here on Earth, He resurrected from the dead on the third day and ascended into Heaven to continue the work with His Father and He sent the Holy spirit to all His true disciples.

(2) Paul had to carry out the purification process because in the first place, the laws of Moses are not human ochestrated laws but laws given to all by God Almighty Himself and even though He still knew and believed the real fact that after Jesus Christ's life here on earth, death and Resurrection; we are all saved by love , faith, hope and grace. He pertook in the purification process to fulfil all righteousness just as Jesus Christ (God, the son) got baptized himself with water by John the Baptist even if John he Baptist tried to convince Him not to do so as He felt it was unnecessary being who He is (that is, Jesus Christ who is God the son). A lot of people were recently converted to Christianity in that place in those days (they still obeyed all the laws of Moses including circumcision) and they were still fed with milk and not with strong matured food so, in order not to lose the souls who were new converts to Christianity, he joined in the purification process as advised by the long existing disciples of Jesus Christ (that is, James and all the Church elders) there so, he was not a hypocrite that misled people. We, as true/good Christians, still have love, faith, hope, grace and many more in Jesus Christ with or without physical circumcision.

REMEMBER THAT: 
(I) A VOW IS TAKEN ON THE NAME OF SOMEONE HIGHER THAN THE PERSON(S) TAKING THE VOW. THERE IS NO ONE GREATER THAN GOD HIMSELF.

(II) IN THIS BIBLE PASSAGE BELOW, FOUR MEN HAD ALREADY TAKEN A VOW TO PERTAKE IN THE PURIFICATION CEREMONY (PHYSICAL CIRCUMCISION).

According to Acts 21: 17-27
WHEN WE ARRIVED IN JERUSALEM, THE BELIEVERS WELCOMED US WARMLY. THE NEXT DAY PAUL WENT WITH US TO SEE JAMES; AND ALL THE CHURCH ELDERS WERE PRESENT. PAUL GREETED THEM AND GAVE A COMPLETE REPORT OF EVERYTHING THAT GOD HAD DONE AMONG THE GENTILES THROUGH HIS WORK. AFTER HEARING HIM, THEY ALL PRAISED GOD. THEN THEY SAID, "BROTHER PAUL, YOU CAN SEE HOW MANY THOUSANDS OF JEWS HAVE BECOME BELIEVERS, AND HOW DEVOTED THEY ALL ARE TO THE LAW. THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TEACHING ALL THE JEWS WHO LIVE IN GENTILE COUNTRIES TO ABANDON THE LAW OF MOSES, TELLING THEM NOT TO CIRCUMCISE THEIR CHILDREN OR FOLLOW THE JEWISH CUSTOMS. THEY ARE SURE TO HEAR THAT YOU HAVE ARRIVED. WHAT SHOULD BE DONE, THEN? THIS IS WHAT WE WANT YOU TO DO. THERE ARE FOUR MEN HERE WHO HAVE TAKEN A VOW. GO ALONG WITH THEM AND JOIN THEM IN THE CEREMONY OF PURIFICATION AND PAY THEIR EXPENSES; THEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO SHAVE THEIR HEADS. IN THIS WAY EVERYONE WILL KNOW THAT THERE IS NO TRUTH IN ANY OF THE THINGS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD ABOUT YOU, BUT THAT YOU YOURSELF LIVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF MOSES. BUT AS  FOR THE GENTILES WHO HAVE BECOME BELIEVERS, WE HAVE SENT THEM A LETTER TELLING THEM WE DECIDED THAT THEY MUST NOT EAT ANY FOOD THAT HAS BEEN OFFERED TO IDOLS, OR ANY BLOOD, OR ANY ANIMAL THAT HAS BEEN STRANGLED, AND THAT THEY MUST KEEP THEMSELVES FROM SEXUAL IMMORALITY." SO PAUL TOOK THE MEN AND THE NEXT DAY PERFORMED THE CEREMONY OF PURIFICATION WITH THEM. THEN HE WENT INTO THE TEMPLE AND GAVE NOTICE OF HOW MANY DAYS IT WOULD BE UNTIL THE END OF THE PERIOD OF PURIFICATION, WHEN A SACRIFICE WOULD BE OFFERED FOR EACH ON OF THEM.


PRAISE GOD!

PRAISE THE LORD!!

Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Master: Read and what's your view

Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Master: Read and what's your view

(1) A levite known as Joseph of Cyprus sold a field of his and brought the money to the apostles to share amongst the group of believers according to their needs in order to encourage the spread of the Good news about the resurrection of our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ. The apostles called Joseph of Cyprus a new name "Barnabas" (which means the one who encourages).This was the kind of things that the well-to-do disciples of Jesus Christ amongst them did every once in a while to encourage their fellow believers of Christ Jesus (Christians) in the early days of Christianity.

NOTE THAT:
(A) GROUP OF BELIEVERS (ALL TRUE CHRISTIANS) ARE MEANT TO BE ONE IN MIND AND HEART JUST LIKE THE EARLY CHRISTIANS WERE ONE IN MIND AND HEART.

(B) THE ENCOURAGEMENT WAS GIVEN BY THE RICH OR WELL-TO-DO DISCIPLES BY GOD'S GRACE TO ALL THE APOSTLES AND OTHER DISCIPLES (THE MORE THE PROBLEMS OF ANY DISCIPLE, THE MORE THE HELP HE OR SHE GOT FROM WHAT THE APOSTLES GOT FROM THE RICH DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST OR THOSE DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST WHO GAVE WILLINGLY).

(C) EVEN IF THE MONEY WAS FOR EVERYBODY AMONG THE GROUP OF BELIEVERS, THE ENCOURAGEMENT IT GAVE THEM MADE THE APOSTLES BEAR WITNESS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST WITH GREAT POWER.

(D) THE SPREADING OF THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST WITH SUCH GREAT POWER MADE GOD TO RICHLY BLESS THEM ALL (BOTH THE RICH AND THE POOR BELIEVERS FOR NO ONE WAS LACKING BECAUSE OF THIS SYSTEM THEY WERE USING TO HELP THE NEEDY AMONGST THEM WHO WERE BELIEVERS IN THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST).

According to Acts 4: 32-37
THE GROUP OF BELIEVERS WAS ONE IN MIND AND HEART. NONE OF THEM SAID THAT ANY OF THEIR BELONGINGS WERE THEIR OWN, BUT THEY ALL SHARED WITH ONE ANOTHER EVERYTHING THEY HAD. WITH GREAT POWER THE APOSTLES GAVE WITNESS TO THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD JESUS, AND GOD POURED RICH BLESSINGS ON THEM ALL. THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE GROUP WHO WAS IN NEED. THOSE WHO OWNED FIELDS OR HOUSES WOULD SELL THEM, BRING THE MONEY RECEIVED FROM THE SALE, AND HAND IT OVER TO THE APOSTLES; AND THE MONEY WAS DISTRIBUTED TO EACH ONE ACCORDING TO HIS NEED. AND SO IT WAS THAT JOSEPH, A LEVITE BORN IN CYPRUS, WHOM THE APOSTLES CALLED BARNABAS (WHICH MEANS "ONE WHO ENCOURAGES"), SOLD A FIELD HE OWNED, BROUGHT THE MONEY, AND HANDED IT OVER TO THE APOSTLES.



(2) What if you a the first good prophet to come out of your province, village, Hamlet etc? You are not lesser than the good prophets from places that are filled with both true and false prophets. One of the pharisees callled Nicodemus (the rich young man that Jesus Christ told to go and sell all his properties but he left disappointed after that instruction then Jesus Christ said "it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to make Heaven." This was the same man that brought the 30 kilogrammes of spices, a mixture of myrrh and aloes used in burying Jesus Christ  after His death on the Cross) still tried to defend Jesus Christ in His absence by standing for His right to speak for Himself but they shut him up because to them Galilee was a place of nobodies in terms of prophets and prophecies.

NOTE THAT:
(A) When you spread the word of God in an extraordinary way just like Jesus Christ (God, the son) did, some of those pursuing you and setting traps for you here and there will testify (even if it is not in front of you) that the word of God heard or learnt from you is exceptional whether they believe in it or not.

(B) The curse of an unbeliever holds no power or strength over you as the person is just ranting.

(C) This Bible passage enlightens us that when some evil people are doing wrong, they usually like to believe that every other single person in the same position with them is also evil. That was why those evil Pharisees said "Have you ever known one of the authorities or one pharisee to believe in Him? This crowd does not know the law of Moses, so they are under God's curse. TAKE FOR INSTANCE, AN EVIL POLITICIAN IN THIS DAY AND TIME (THAT IS, IN THIS WORLD) WHO BELIEVES THAT THE WAY HE OR SHE IS LIVING HIS OR HER LIFE IS THE SAME WAY THAT EVERY OTHER POLITICIAN LIVES; NOT KNOWING THAT SOME OF THE PRESENT DAY POLITICIANS HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR SALVATION FOR THEMSELVES JUST LIKE NICODEMUS (A RICH YOUNG PHARISEE) DID BACK THEN WHILE SOME OTHERS HAVE ALREADY FOUND SALVATION SECRETLY WITH JESUS CHRIST WITHOUT LETTING THEM KNOW JUST LIKE JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA ( A RESPECTED MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL WHO WAS A SECRET DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST AND ALSO PROVIDED THE FRESH UNUSED TOMB WHERE JESUS CHRIST WAS BURIED AFTER HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS). CLICK HERE AND READ ALSOhttps://takeitokayokay.blogspot.com/2023/03/joseph-of-arimathea-rich-honourable-man.html?m=1

(D) The similarity between Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea is that they were both good men who obeyed the Commandments of God and wanted to make Heaven by all means possible irrespective of their status and riches in the society.

(E) When fake people in high authorities who claim to know God tell you that you do not know the laws of God which He gave to Moses, show them that they do not know God, the son (Jesus Christ, our Lord and Master) who suffered and died for our sins and resurrected on the third day after His death on the Cross. Who knows the Laws of Moses better than the true Christians?

According to John 7: 45-52
WHEN THE GUARDS WENT BACK, THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND PHARISEES ASKED THEM, "WHY DID YOU NOT BRING HIM?" THE GUARDS ANSWERED, "NOBODY HAS EVER TALKED LIKE THIS MAN DOES!" "DID HE FOOL YOU, TOO?" THE PHARISEES ASKED THEM. "HAVE YOU EVER KNOWN ONE OF THE AUTHORITIES OR ONE PHARISEE TO BELIEVE IN HIM? THIS CROWD DOES NOT KNOW THE LAW OF MOSES, SO THEY ARE UNDER GOD'S CURSE!" ONE OF THE PHARISEES THERE WAS NICODEMUS, THE MAN WHO HAD GONE TO SEE JESUS BEFORE. HE SAID TO THE OTHERS, "ACCORDING TO OUR LAW WE CANNOT CONDEMN ANYONE BEFORE HEARING HIM AND FINDING OUT WHAT HE HAS DONE." "WELL," THEY ANSWERED, " ARE YOU ALSO FROM GALILEE? STUDY THE SCRIPTURES AND YOU WILL LEARN THAT NO PROPHET EVER COMES FROM GALILEE.
