Psalm 110
The Lord says to my lord:
“Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet.”
2
The Lord will extend your mighty scepter from Zion, saying,
“Rule in the midst of your enemies!”
3
Your troops will be willing
on your day of battle.
Arrayed in holy splendor,
your young men will come to you
like dew from the morning’s womb.
4
The Lord has sworn
and will not change his mind:
“You are a priest forever,
in the order of Melchizedek.”
5
The Lord is at your right hand;
he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.
6
He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead
and crushing the rulers of the whole earth.
7
He will drink from a brook along the way,
and so he will lift his head high.
1 Thessalonians 2
3 For our appeal does not spring from error or impurity or any attempt to deceive, 4 but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts. 5 For we never came with words of flattery, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed—God is witness. 6 Nor did we seek glory from people, whether from you or from others
The People who love the Lord Father God are not perfect. However there should be sincerity. A desire to please God more than man. A sincerity witnessed at all times and in all situations and with all types of people. Will mistakes be made? The Bible would say so.
The 1980s saw Christians enamored with angels. The 1990s saw Christians read all about the short verse of the prosperity of Jabez - this was all around...surely the 1990s were not that bad or the 1980s! And in this generation the Christian buzz words are "generational curses involved with Masons." Gosh, we are enamored with this a lot.
Well, we all have a guardian angel and that is explained exactly once in 3,000 pages of the Bible.
Jabez - we don't know much about him, I guess he didn't relate in his painfree state of prosperity to most of the Population. No Good Works were really recorded or messages we can grow from. Yet... Put me in that number, Father God!
And you won't find Masonic Lodges in the Bible or references to the 1st to 4th century attempt to wipe out Christianity by merely being sniffed at and copied.
The Persian god Mithra was the spiffy tool of the Greek mysteries to take over the freedom of the Gospel and put in this Freedom into secret Greek rites. Mithraism -The Mithraic Mysteries were a mystery religion practiced in the Roman Empire from about the 1st to 4th centuries AD. These mysteries made sure to look more permanent than Jesus who was slain on a tree. These people were serious. They had 'gods' and many Christian things were copied deliberately to say the diety of the slain "God" was a copy of them. No one was permitted to be initiated into them , unless gradually higher mysteries of Mithras were completed, until the candidate should show himself holy and steadfast by undergoing tests. These tests were supposedly concrete instead of relationship oriented.
Sometimes people felt more comfortable with the earned 'mysteries of rituals'. Not relationship. Yet this passed away. The Word of God remains. Forever.
The Bible says generations swing like pendulums - one generation holds fast and the next falls down. Our generations like balance and if we go to Heaven, then we descent to physical or riches. This is the fallen nature of us all. The Bible would say this holds truth.
John 8:32
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free
1 Corinthians 15:52
in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
Revelation 22
22 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month
Jesus said we would do greater works than Jesus. What if... in Heaven the road is optional, and the river running down the middle of the street - that in Jesus - we walk on the River of the Water of Life. Almost like saying... we walk upon the water of Salvation Jesus offers us.
This is the long way of saying this - the Bible's wisdom is without depth or end. Generational curses have been spoken of since Moses. And Jesus came to set us free from our sins. Jesus is our freedom.
Jesus sets us free.
Not buzz words of misunderstanding the fact we live in a fallen and broken world with degrees of generational curses to make us unholy and unrighteous. The Bible is the lifeline - the Way, the Truth, The Life - to discover the Promises of God the Father in His Son Jesus Christ.
Jesus sets us free.
When Jesus offers us Salvation, we should know this is paid for with a Cost.
The Universe, our world, this blue ball floating in no light, air or gravity, exists by the Word of God. Father God commands. Joseph was commanded in Matthew 1, and Joseph listened. Father God sends us into this world - like the way we send our children to college or the military - to grow up. He is silent enough for us to become who we are. Yet He is the Good Father waiting at the 12 open gates to run to us as we finish.
What have we done with ourselves? We are offered Salvation. We cannot purchase this. We can not redeem ourselves again, saying what Jesus did is unimportant. We can look at our purchased and wiped clean souls, our two hands and be like formerly blind Bartimaeus, who wanted to walk with His Savior.
Jesus sets us free.
When my soul's eyes see Jesus - I surely know I will need His Grace. I hope Jesus and Father God will tell me they like what I did with my soul and the souls He has placed near or in my care. Because the fine day will come, where I want to see Jesus and Father God looking for me in the distance - knowing He is smiling - the Prodigal Child has come HOME!
What can we know of Heaven? Jesus Christ the Lord has promised us Heaven. We believe Jesus. When we read the Word of God - we can hear Him speak by the warming of our hearts.
Here is what my heart speaks to me of going Home to Jesus the Lord:
We will be with Christ
Luke 23:43
Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
It will be better than being on earth
2 Corinthians 5:8
We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
We will be eating and drinking like Jesus Resurrected and eating with the disciples. John 21.
“Restoration of all things” Acts 3:21
Revelation 1
2 I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me.
17 Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18 I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever!"
Therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later. The mystery
Revelation 2
You have forsaken the love you had at first. Consider how far you have fallen! Repent
I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich!
to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown.
the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword.
These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. 19 I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.
Revelation 3
These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. 19 I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.
I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.
Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
21 To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne.
Revelation 4
And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.
We will greet new loved ones in Heaven knowing their news.
We will see the most magnificent Throne of Father God and understand His Holiness.
Revelation 5
We will see the multitudes of Heaven being cared for. And see how worthy Jesus is doing this. We will begin to understand the height and depth of His Love. And understand why this worship is so Good.
Our weeping and the care we have given others, will see fulfillment.
Revelation 6
We will understand better the days of wrath on earth. God's Plan is more understood by us.
Revelation 7
The days of sorrow are eclipsed to see the multitudes who have Joy in Father God.
15
and he who sits on the throne
will shelter them with his presence.
16
‘Never again will they hunger;
never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat down on them,’
nor any scorching heat.
17
For the Lamb at the center of the throne
will be their shepherd;
‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’
‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”
Revelation 8
He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne. 4 The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand.
We will see that God rules the earth and the fulfillment of the earth is His.
Revelation 9
We will know the earth exists only during God's timing.
Revelation 10
We will know God has been for us for generations and generations.
Father God is working to this day.
Revelation 11
Time is merely a cage on earth. In Heaven we will see things like the time of the Temple in Jerusalem.
God will begin to show us the reclamation of all things to Father God.
9 Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant.
Revelation 12
We will see some terrible and fierce things of the earth we would not wish to see. Learning
dark is not dark to Father God - He is Light - there is no darkness in Him.
Revelation 13
Father God will assure us HE was not absent when horrible and dire things occurred.
In His wisdom and holiness, this is to be rewoven, renewed and set completely right.
Revelation 14
We understand the building of Father God's Kingdom is like the wedding feast Jesus told us of.
We see the glories of His Love and what the People who have Loved God have brought forth into this life
love and care in time and ages and in generations. We understand with eyes that see and ears that hear, why God would so love the world to send His ONLY Begotten SON to make sure we did not perish, but have everlasting life.
Revelation 15
We see illness on earth like the plagues and know we lost loved ones to illnesses and see that this mattered profoundly to Father God. A grain must fall into the ground to find new life. Jesus wept with Lazarus and His Beloved.
Revelation 16
The wrath for those who would not profoundly care for this work of illness and suffering. The earth shaking and shattering time. God calls this giving others blood to drink.
Revelation 17
The basis of all evil is the love of money. We see how we can become lost to ourselves if we pursuit this shelter instead of Father God and His Love.
Revelation 18
Lament for the loss of any of God's precious children. He is the Father of us all.
Revelation 19
19 After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting:
“Hallelujah!
Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
2
for true and just are his judgments.
6 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:
“Hallelujah!
For our Lord God Almighty reigns.
7
Let us rejoice and be glad
and give him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has made herself ready.
8
Fine linen, bright and clean,
was given her to wear.”
(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.)
9 Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”
Revelation 20
The pendulum of time. The wonder of the Acts of those who Love Father God.
4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Revelation 21
The Good News
21 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.
The fire of evil will die, this is the merciful second death.
Only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
Revelation 22
Rejoice we will see what is comfortable and beautiful. Familiar from Father God, the Creator of All Things.
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.
Father God,
We surely and without doubt know the mystery to Faith is Yours. The people who read Isaiah knocked upon Herod's door to see the King of Kings. Yet in the Love of Jesus Christ, You provide us with some insight to the Glories of Jesus in Father God.
For all of us The Book of Revelation will be different. Because You have told us we all have a different place and gift, talent, ability of faith, hope and Love. We all are part of the Body of Jesus and see aspects to You. The Father who Fills All of the Heavens and is the Light in all of Mankind.
Your Word is living and active. We can look past to the millenniums and know when Abraham went forth to please You, You were pleased. Abraham believed You and You credited Abraham with the Righteousness of Jesus. In You we are Covered Mightily. Abraham pressed You for Goodness and You made Abraham the Father of Nations because You love to be expected to Do Good as David knew so well.
Father God, this life tests us and perplexes us, be our Light, our Path and our Strong Deliverer. We lift up the ones we Love knowing that You Love more. We lift up the People You have given us in our lives and ask Your help and comfort and joy for them. We lift up leaders who call forth Your Mercy and Profound Love. We say In God We Trust and we shall not be ashamed. We ask the Light of Jesus Christ to shine in all of mankind and the Glorious Love of Jesus - The Holy One of God - is to bring forth more Heaven to this earth in the Love You told us is the New Commandment.
In Expectation, we look to the Future, knowing You hear all our prayers and Your Love is always present. Heaven's 12 Open Gates. Father God, we give You thanks for Love enduring in perseverance, joy, for Love opens minds, hearts and lives. JESUS, YOU ARE THE LORD MOST HIGH. In the Name of Jesus. Amen.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves †
