John 3:16-17 ~ He gave His only Son

Time magazine covered the story on April 8, 1966, one thousand thirty-three years late. Dr. Hamilton became the target of death threats in the year after the article was published. He left his job, feeling ostracized. Balaam tried to outdo God and even if the caves of Jordan still refer to Balaam, trying to bribe God to let go of the Children of Israel - - - so Balaam could take the Exodus king's bribe - didn't work out well for Balaam.

The Story is about God the Father, God the Spirit and God the Son suffering
injustice, horror, ridicule and mortality.

This Plan of God's made bringing the Good News to the dark world of Asia and Europe serving gods of 'power' uphill, uphill and uphill work. Father God is simply not in the PR power game. God is the Alpha and Omega and Father of Jesus Christ.

God's Mission? To save the world - feeding the multitudes - which indeed became the millenniums and you and me - for many thousands of years. Mere days to God Himself.

In 2008, I was 44 years old and Hurricane Ike arrived. So did our daughter Isabelle. Stillborn. Beautiful. Born with a look of profound Joy. Smiling. Awake in Jesus.

I went home to wail. And within weeks the ducks we kept announced the Indian Summer would lead to more baby ducks. I paused wailing and watched. The mother duck waddled into a barely year old dog's yard and her ducklings were shredded. She refused to give up and fought the poor dog until she was mortally wounded. She returned home to die sitting beside me in the yard.  I prayed for a miracle for this 2-year-old Roeun duck with her first clutch. Her duck neck wouldn't support her head and she rested into Eternity.

A few months later, outside my study window, a Cardinal and Cardinal lady began a nest right by my desk. All went well until one day a Blue Jay came down and casually pushed Cardinal lady aside and ate all 3 of her infant birds. The Cardinal pair sat on the empty nest for a couple of days. We all wept.

Do I have any more sad bird tales? No, I have some really good ones.

Today - I was puzzling out why God would give me this series of events after Isabelle went on to Heaven. And 11 years later - today - I had an answer. God has Deliberate Plans. God is the Father of the Seed Parable. God is in a very serious line of work. And I fully believe and know, I am entirely grateful God is God Himself.

When we are young, we see the death of Jesus as a young man with Promise.

As we go forward in life, we see Good Friday as the death of a Son. God's Son. Our Savior.

Going through Life we will see Good Friday from many aspects at the Table of God. This is my thoughts on my relationship with Father God.

God is a Father. God explains Scripture with positive approaches to Good Care of our emotions. We can look at Scripture constantly to find God is Fathering us. God explains His own Nature in Jesus Christ and on Good Friday.

God explains how He felt about Jesus dying.

View of the Temple from Golgotha.

Ready the man  - Who had healed the blind, lame, deaf, lepers and brought sons and daughters back to life - for death.

Reality.

God Himself is going to have a reaction to this.

The Light of the World. Is Jesus Christ.

Evidence today of the earthquake:

The Temple experienced the Earthquake and the Veil to the Holy of Holies was torn.

For two millenniums Christian Historians site non-Christian Historical references to earthquakes and darkness on Good Friday. Historians argue over text and verbs and placements of words. We would have to say 3 secular Historians of this era point out earthquake and darkness history resulting in 2 millenniums of arguments over this history.

To analyze earthquake activity in the region, geologist Jefferson Williams of Supersonic Geophysical and colleagues Markus Schwab and Achim Brauer of the German Research Center for Geosciences studied three cores from the beach of the Ein Gedi Spa adjacent to the Dead Sea.

Varves, which are annual layers of deposition in the sediments, reveal that at least two major earthquakes affected the core: a widespread earthquake in 31 B.C. and an early first-century seismic event that happened sometime between 26 A.D. and 36 A.D.

The latter period occurred during “the years when Pontius Pilate was procurator of Judea and when the earthquake of the Gospel of Matthew is historically constrained,” Williams said.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. Living His Story. History. Earthquake Science has been reliable.

Israel today sits on a major earthquake fault and their government discusses and dreads a 7 point earthquake seismic event. All architecture built since 1980 is coded to be saved from earthquakes on a 4 point seismic scale.

Creating art for millenniums:

 INRI  JESUS of Nazareth KING Of The JEWS

Daylight returned.  

Brave men went to Pontius Pilate - who had murdered men and women on High Jewish Holidays before and requested the Body of Jesus Christ. Pilate was merciful to release the Body of Jesus to them.

And the Tomb of Jesus Christ was sealed and protected by soldiers.

John 3:16-17

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, 

whoever believes in Jesus Christ should not perish but have eternal life. 

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, 

but in order that the world might be saved 

through Jesus Christ.

Abba, Holy Father,

We rely on Your Willing Blessings each day.

In Jesus, on Good Friday, any time of the day, any year, any season - this is our Rock and our Deliverer. Wonderful of God.

In Your Son, Jesus, we will Rejoice. Especially Good Friday.

Blessed be our Father, The Lord God Almighty, maker of Heaven and earth. Creator of All Things and His Son, Jesus Christ. Wonderful.

Amen and Amen and Amen in Jesus Christ the Lord.
